Three years. I didn't expect Dumby to have been working here for three years!
He Jiong and the other five were all shocked, and at the same time, they felt even more emotional.
The five of them looked at the middle-aged boss in silence, waiting for him to continue.
After a while, the middle-aged boss sighed and said slowly,""Three years ago, Dumby didn't live alone. He had a sick grandmother who needed him to take care of her.”
"At that time, it was the most difficult time for Adai. He went to school and took care of his grandmother at the same time. His parents were working outside and couldn't send money back for a few months, so all the problems could only be handled by Adai alone.”
"At that time, he came to me and begged me to take him in. Because he was too young, no other shop dared to take him in.”
"Besides, other places don't accept such part-time jobs. There's nothing suitable for him to do.”
The middle-aged boss said a lot in one breath. His tone was low. Thinking of the pitiful Adai at that time, he sighed secretly.
" Three years ago, Dumby should have been in the sixth grade. He was only twelve years old. A twelve-year-old child had to support a family…Sigh…"
Teacher He was quite moved as he spoke. In the end, he was already sobbing and could not continue.
As Wei Daxun and the others listened, they looked at the thin figure who was busy in the distance. They suddenly felt that the difficulties they faced were not worth mentioning in front of Dumby.
Meng Meiqi smiled bitterly." When I was a trainee, I already felt that my life was very bitter. Now, it seems that I was really narrow-minded. I really haven't experienced what true hardship is."”
Zhang Zifeng and the other two nodded one after another, tears already swirling in their eyes.
At this moment, the middle-aged boss continued,""Three years ago, at the entrance of the brickyard, Dumby knelt down and begged me. I'm not that heartless, but I didn't have the ability to help him much, so I promised him that he could work at my place for two hours after school every day. I gave him 15 yuan an hour, but I couldn't give him more. After all, I have a family to support, and I'm not a rich man.”
After a pause, he added," But that child, Adai, is very sensible. He thinks that I don't know. In fact, every time he comes to work for me, he works very hard. When others rest, he doesn't rest either. I gave him two hours, but he often worked for three hours without taking a single cent more. I really admire him for this!”
At this point, the middle-aged boss revealed a hint of admiration on his face.
Teacher He and the others were already sobbing a few times. They had already seen how grateful Dumby was.
When Wei Daxun heard this, he couldn't blame the boss anymore.
Indeed, without the brickyard owner, Dumby wouldn't be able to earn a single cent. He also had to drag a bedridden grandmother. It wasn't surprising that he would starve to death.
At this moment, Peng Peng asked curiously,""Boss, Dumby's family is so poor. Why don't the villagers help?”
The middle-aged boss smiled bitterly when he heard this." I did. It's just that I can't help with the situation at Dumby's house."”
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, he continued,"I heard that Adai's mother had a strange illness when he was very young. His family, which used to be a decent family, quickly became poor in order to treat his mother's illness. Everyone in the village donated money, but it was too expensive to treat her illness.”
"A few years later, Adai's grandmother fell ill again. In addition, Adai himself was also a fool. Everyone said that he was abnormal. Although everyone donated money, they all felt that it was a bottomless pit and couldn't help.”
Hearing this, the few of them nodded lightly. The middle-aged boss's words were indeed very accurate. Every family had their own difficulties, so the few of them could not blame others for anything.
Mr. He took a deep breath and patted the middle-aged boss 'shoulder.""Boss, thank you for telling us this.”
The middle-aged boss smiled and continued,""A year ago, Adai's grandmother passed away, and his burden was lighter, so he came to my place less often. Basically, he came twice a week.”
"However, I think he will come every day for a period of time. If he gets into high school, the tuition fee will be a big sum for him.”
Hearing this, Teacher He and the others suddenly understood.
High school was no longer compulsory. For Dumby, tuition fees were indeed a huge burden.
"Boss, boss, come here quickly. Dumby has fainted..."
Suddenly, several urgent shouts came from the brickyard.
The middle-aged boss turned his head and saw a worker carrying the unconscious Dumby running quickly towards them.
Seeing this scene, everyone panicked.
Teacher He forced himself to calm down and instructed Peng Peng and Wei Daxun,"The two of you, go and help. I'll drive the car.”
As he spoke, he pushed Peng Peng and Wei Daxun away.
He quickly walked to the car.
