Shanghai.
As an internationally ranked metropolis, prosperity and hustle and bustle were its eternal symbols.
On the busy street, a young man in his early twenties was carrying a few big bags in both hands. He was walking unsteadily, appearing out of place with the hurried pedestrians around him.
Soon, the young man arrived at his destination, Blue Sky Orphanage.
"Little Su, you're here again today?”Auntie Wang from the orphanage asked kindly.
Su Ming grinned and waved the bag, saying,"
"Aunty Wang, are you feeling better? Take more rest!”
"Much better. Go in quickly. The children have missed you for a long time.”
"Alright, I'll go in first.”
……
Su Ming walked through the door of the building and looked at the innocent and pure smiling faces. The annoyance caused by the long journey in his heart was swept away.
"Wow! It's Brother Xiao Ming!"
"Really!"
"Brother Little Su is here again!"
The children swarmed over, making Su Ming's heart palpitate. He was afraid that one of them would accidentally fall. However, although the children ran in a hurry, they still paid attention to the situation around them, so nothing else happened.
Su Ming put down the bag in his hand.
"Come on, pick what you like!”
Many children happily opened the bags and picked out their favorite snacks and toys. They were all very happy.
"Brother Xiaoming, you've worked hard." A little girl of four or five years old said. Her little face was pink and toot.
Su Ming squatted down and patted her head."
"Xiao Ting, didn't I tell you many times not to call me Brother Xiao Ming? Call me Brother Little Su, or Brother!”
"What? Why? But Uncle Huang and Aunty Wang both said that Little Ming sounded better?”
Su Ming suddenly felt that his vision was a little dark, and his life was a little dark.
He couldn't help but complain in his heart,"If I hadn't been watched by you guys since I was young, I would have really had a good talk with you guys."
"Xiao Ting, don't listen to them. Just shout whatever your brother tells you to. As for the reason, you'll know when you go to school!”
Xiao Ting stared at her big eyes and asked in surprise,"Go to school? Can I go to school too?"
However, she seemed to have suddenly thought of something and lowered her head.
"Uncle Huang and the dean said that I can't play with Little Fatty and the others, and I can't go to school…"
Su Ming held her arm and said,"
"You can do it, but when you grow up, you can go to school. Go and pick your gift. I'm going to find Grandpa Director."”
"Okay, brother, slow down."
……
Su Ming went to the office, but the dean wasn't there, so Su Ming went to other places to take a look. Finally, he saw the dean outside the canteen where the vegetables were washed.
"Uncle Li, I'm here!"
Dean Li looked to be around 60, but he was in high spirits. Perhaps it was because he often spent time with children that his mood naturally improved!
"Little Su, find a place to sit!”Director Li didn't stop washing the vegetables. He obviously didn't treat Su Ming as an outsider.
Su Ming wasn't annoyed. He found a chair and sat down beside him. Then, he started to wash the vegetables.
"How is Little Tingting?"
Hearing this, the dean's hand paused and he stopped to look at Su Ming.
But Su Ming still lowered his head and busied himself with the things in his hands, as if he didn't ask.
Dean Li sighed indiscernibly and said slowly,
"The doctor said that if we don't have surgery, we might not live past the age of 12.”
Hearing this, Su Ming stopped what he was doing." Surgery? How much is it?"
The dean looked at his young face and felt a little sorry for him, but he still said in a low voice,
"It's at least 500,000 yuan!”
Little Tingting was the little girl called Su Ming who had congenital heart disease. After all, Blue Sky Orphanage was not a public orphanage. There were 40 to 50 children in it. The younger one was only one and a half years old, and the older one was only thirteen years old.
Moreover, the orphanage not only took in children without parents, but also some children who were abandoned by their parents because of congenital diseases. The medicine that these children took every day was not a small expense. The orphanage only relied on donations from the society to maintain itself. It was impossible for them to come up with such a large sum of money.
Su Ming also grew up in the Blue Sky Orphanage. Little Tingting also came to the orphanage when she was two years old. Su Ming watched her grow up, so how could he bear to see her die?
"Director, don't worry. I'll think of a way to get the money.”
Dean Li had watched Su Ming grow up, so he knew his character and ability, so he didn't say anything. He only advised,
"Little Su, be good to yourself!"
Su Ming stayed behind to have lunch with the children, then he went back to his home to think of ways to earn money.
