After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich
Chapter 740: Donate pastries and convince the children
Chapter 740: Donate pastries and convince the children
"They can already fill their stomachs." Xu Lingyan smiled and told what they had done a while ago, which greatly impressed Wen and others.
But in fact, she herself didn’t understand why she had to give those children so many cakes to eat. Wasn’t it because they were helping people in need rather than helping the poor?
After spending fifty taels of silver and buying hundreds of pastries, a special carriage was needed to pull them.
Xu Mengxiao explained the reason, "After a person is full, food and snacks have different meanings."
"And those are children. If they have delicious snacks, their impression will be deeper. Besides, since they have grown so big, they may not have eaten such delicious food before, so their memory will be even more profound!"
Xu Mengxiao does good deeds, but he also wants to leave a name and gain benefits. This is not shameful.
Because she will provide these children with more opportunities, change their destiny, and make them live a lifetime of food and clothing, and even prosperity.
Xu Mengxiao even invested more in things that were mutually beneficial, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with this "calculation".
Even Xu Lingyan, who felt a little guilty, was convinced by her and felt that this was the long-term solution.
Not to mention the Wang family, she just wants to raise more children, so that when the time comes, she can help Zihan solve his problems and prepare for the prosperity of their Xu family!
The three of them rode a carriage and soon arrived at the Salesian Bureau, which was once dilapidated but had now been completely renovated.
After the fall of the Chang family, the old woman named Bai and her mother-in-law were naturally implicated. Xu Mengxiao would kill her when she heard that Qiu Hou was there.
Therefore, the officials in Luo City arranged new women to take care of these children.
Although I am not so dedicated this time, I will not treat the children harshly or misappropriate money, and I will also let the children have enough food and clothing.
Although it was much worse than what Xu Mengxiao had asked Bai and the others to do before, it was still stable.
These children don’t have to worry about something bad happening to them.
As soon as Xu Mengxiao and Xu Lingyan appeared at the door of the Salesian Bureau, a room full of children heard the noise.
Suddenly bursts of cheering screams and shouts broke out, and then they all rushed towards them——
One by one, they hugged their thighs and waists affectionately. When they noticed that Xu Mengxiao had a big belly, they stopped sensibly and did not dare to touch them casually.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Sister Lingyan, Sister Xiaoxiao, you are finally here, we miss you so much."
"I thought you wouldn't come to see us again, so why don't you leave again?"
"You just need to come and see us. You don't have to spend money or buy anything for us. No one comes to see us except you, only you..."
The children expressed their longing for each other, and some were so young that they even couldn't help crying quietly.
Growing up in such an environment, they didn't dare to cry loudly even when they were sad, because they might get beaten, so they were sensible and quietly wiped away their tears.
Xu Mengxiao's ruthless and business-minded attitude when he arrived was suddenly softened by the innocent and soft faces of these children and their big, eager eyes.
She also has a child, and if her child was treated like this, her heart would be broken.
Therefore, she treats these children with more sincerity and tenderness.
Holding their little hands, she cares about their daily lives affectionately and helps them deal with some of the troubles and conflicts among the children.
Xu Lingyan and Wang had already been fighting with the children.
These children are so frustrated that even the taciturn ones have a lot to say to them and their trusted elders.
Only adults of their age can solve their troubles and longing for loved ones.
Only then did Xu Mengxiao realize that even if she didn't buy those pastries, just spending time with these children, they would remember her forever and be grateful.
But people cannot live in a world with only emotions, especially not all of these children have emotional needs and want to rely on adults.
And it is often the kind of smart and sober children that Xu Mengxiao wants to cultivate.
"Ruyan, bring those pastries over and distribute them to these children according to the quantity." She ordered. "We bought this from Wen's. The pastries at Wen's pastry shop are very good and have a good reputation in Los Angeles..." Xu Lingyan described the outside world to these curious children, arousing their curiosity and yearning.
And when every child heard that there were pastries to eat, their big eyes lit up like light bulbs.
Some even couldn't help drooling, wiping the corners of their mouths and swallowing saliva, they liked it so much.
Wang and Xu Lingyan completely understood the meaning of these pastries.
Xu Mengxiao bought a lot of pastries and brought them box after box. Each child could get several pieces, and they all had different flavors.
Some are like moon cakes, with bean paste filling inside, and some are like shortcakes, with a crispy outside and a whole egg yolk inside.
There are also sweet and soft pastries that melt in your mouth.
"Wow, it's so delicious."
"This is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten. I love pastries. Pastries are my favorite!"
"Thank you Sister Mengxiao, thank you Sister Lingyan, and Aunt Wang, you are all good people."
The children couldn't wait to express their love and gratitude, and Xu Mengxiao observed their reactions and attitudes.
In addition to the previous interactions, she kept in mind which children were smart and which children had special talents.
Many children in the Salesian Bureau have problems, some are blind, some are lame, some have burned out brains and are stupid.
Xu Mengxiao will not dislike them because of this, but will also explore their abilities reasonably and then conduct special training so that they can be self-reliant in the future.
Such a child would not bring her much benefit and would even cost her more, but Xu Mengxiao was so soft-hearted that she did not care about these losses at all.
When the children were eating happily, Xu Mengxiao told them what she wanted to do to them.
"Do you want to study? Do you want to learn martial arts? Can I ask the master to teach each of you how to read?"
"Wha, what, literacy? Is it the literacy of reading and writing? Can you understand the things in the book?" The children opened their curious eyes.
"Not only will I teach you how to read, but if you have anything you want to do and are good at, you can put it forward and I will have someone write it down for you all to learn, okay?" Xu Mengxiao said with a smile, not at all like The wolf who seduces Little Red Riding Hood.
All the children were shocked. Some were young and could not understand it very well, while some were older but knew the content of her words.
At this time, one of the oldest boys couldn't help it, "Why are you so nice to us and let us learn these things? What good does this do to you?"
Xu Mengxiao smiled gently, "I want you to learn skills because I hope you can make a living and support yourself after you leave the Salesian Bureau. Of course, I also have selfish motives. I spend a lot of money and effort to train you. Naturally, I hope You can use these skills to help me do things.”
"In this way, you will not only learn how to make a living, but you will also be able to make money in the future, and maybe even live a good life that many people can only dream of."
Now, all the children understand that they can live a good life by learning things.
Some smart children quickly figured out the benefits to themselves, but did not rush to agree.
Instead, I listened to Xu Mengxiao talk about other more benefits——
"If you have any special talents, we can also train you to continue studying and even take part in the imperial examination."
"In the future, you will still have the opportunity to be officials, open a Salesian Bureau like this, rescue more children, but treat those children better than other adults!"
When Xu Mengxiao said this, many children's weaknesses were poked, and their hearts were moved!
