Farmers in the courtyard

Chapter 244 Chapter 245: Looking for help

Seeing the children eating greedily, Wang Zhendong began to make plans in his mind.

He realized that he still needed to do something. He wanted to think about the three-in-four courtyard by the front door, but after thinking about it, he felt that it couldn't be done.

Wanting to focus on taking care of homeless children would have too much impact on Sijiu City.

You still have to choose a more remote place that won't attract attention, otherwise it will be a troublesome thing.

Mountain village?

Or should we find a larger courtyard in the western or eastern suburbs?

While thinking about it in my mind, I looked at these five children, three boys, two girls, and five little babies. They were slovenly, with hair like dead grass, and their bodies exuded a strange smell. Their faces were all black and stained with old dirt.

But everyone's eyes are clear and innocent, with childlike innocence.

Although they have been abandoned by their families, or have lost their families, their eyes are still very pure, but the innocence is tinged with fear of hunger and cold, as well as ignorance.

Yes, ignorant, at a loss, or in other words, they don't understand why yet.

They are all still ignorant little creatures.

After the children finished the food in their bowls, the five children looked at Wang Zhendong. Those eyes made Wang Zhendong feel difficult to face.

"No, I ate so much for the first time. You have been hungry for a long time, so you can't eat too much at once. I will give you roasted sweet potatoes later. They are very sweet and noodles..."

Wang Zhendong patiently explained to the children. When the children heard that there were roasted sweet potatoes, their mouths started to water.

They had eaten roasted sweet potatoes, and it was simply the best thing they had ever eaten.

Everyone had smiles on their faces, full of expectation, and looked at Wang Zhendong with dependence. Wang Zhendong felt warm in his heart when he saw this.

Seeing the smiles of these children gave him spiritual comfort.

"Thank you, uncle. My name is Ergou. He is a puppy. The one you are holding is Xiao Nizi, that one is Xiaohu, and this one is Xiaoyaya..."

The little boy who was first rescued by Wang Zhendong and the oldest one here was actually called Ergou, which made Wang Zhendong speechless.

He was also planning to name his son Wang Ergou, but he didn't expect that there was actually one here.

But it’s not surprising. At this time, many children in rural areas are given nicknames, such as Xiaocaohuahua for girls and puppies and calves for boys.

Just when Wang Zhendong was feeling funny, Ergou suddenly said sadly: "The big dog died two days ago, and we buried him behind the house..."

Hearing what Ergou said, the other four dolls all looked sad, and Wang Zhendong was also upset.

It turns out that this is how Ergou came to be, and there is also a big dog. He should be their eldest brother, right?

It is estimated that their names were all shouted by themselves.

Sighing silently in his heart, Wang Zhendong stood up holding Xiao Nizi and walked to Xiao Yaya. He bent down and picked up Xiao Yaya. This little Yaya was older than Xiao Nizi, but she was still five or six years old.

He felt so light when he held her in his arms, even his daughter Xiaowu weighed more than 20 pounds, but this little Yaya felt about the same.

Instead of continuing here, he planned to take the children to Qianmen Courtyard to live temporarily, and then make arrangements again after a few days.

"Bring the barrel with you, I'll find a place for you guys to stay, and we'll eat roasted sweet potatoes as soon as we stay..."

When they heard about eating roasted sweet potatoes, Ergou, Puppy and Xiaohu, the three of them stood up quickly and started to pack their things. The military coats were too big, making it difficult for the three of them to move.

They simply took off their clothes, and Wang Zhendong carried the two female dolls in his arms and put them into the car first. The car was not turned off, and the heater was on inside, making it warm.

Then he went to help the three little boys move their things. After everything was settled and everyone got in the car, Wang Zhendong drove back to the city and headed for the front door.

After arriving, he entered the courtyard, started to light the stove and the kang, and then took out some brand new beddings from the space.

Lay it out on the big kang, then take out some roasted sweet potatoes, put them on the coal stove, and let the children eat slowly around them.

And told Er Gouzi to take care of the children and wait for him to come back. He rushed to find Chen Xueru and asked her to help her bathe the girl and find some clothes for the children.

When he arrived at the door of Chen Xueru's silk shop, Wang Zhendong hesitated again after looking at the dark lights. It seemed a bit inappropriate to knock on this woman's door in the middle of the night!

But in the end he had no choice but to knock on the door.

The lights above Chen Xueru turned on, and then someone came downstairs. The lights downstairs also turned on, and then Chen Xueru's voice came.

"Who is it? Who is this person in the middle of the night! I'm telling you, if you don't want to die, get away. Don't think that I am a woman who is easy to bully..."

What the hell!

Hearing Chen Xueru's fierce words, Wang Zhendong immediately understood that this woman probably thought she was here to harass.

He immediately replied: "Chen Xueru, it's me, Wang Zhendong, asking you to help me with something..."

Chen Xueru inside was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect Wang Zhendong to come over in the middle of the night, so she immediately opened the door bolt.

When she looked under the light, it was really Wang Zhendong, and her heart started to beat wildly for no reason.

But when Wang Zhendong explained the reason, Chen Xueru also stopped thinking and said to Wang Zhendong: "Wait a moment, I will change clothes, and I don't have children's old clothes here, nor new clothes. We will go to Xu Huizhen later." Look there, she should have some..."

As she spoke, Chen Xueru quickly returned upstairs. Not long after, she changed out of her pajamas and came down wearing a thick cotton coat.

He also held a quilt in his hand and gave it directly to Wang Zhendong to hold. Wang Zhendong hugged it and smelled the feminine scent on the quilt.

It smelled like Chen Xueru. Wang Zhendong couldn't help but glance at Chen Xueru, who was closing and locking the door.

Then the two of them went to the tavern. When they arrived, Chen Xueru knocked on the door directly. Unlike Wang Zhendong, this woman knocked on the door loudly.

The person who asked was Cai Quanwu. When he heard Chen Xueru's voice, he opened the door. Cai Quanwu was also a little surprised to see Wang Zhendong following Chen Xueru.

But Chen Xueru had already pushed Cai Quanwu away and walked towards the backyard, while Wang Zhendong became bored with Cai Quanwu.

After briefly explaining the whole story, Cai Quanwu immediately started talking. In fact, Cai Quanwu didn't have a very good impression of Wang Zhendong.

The reason is that Wang Zhendong just sent Fan Jinyou to the hospital. He has never met him a few times, so you can imagine how he could have a good impression.

But when he heard what Wang Zhendong said, his heart changed again towards Wang Zhendong. He could deal with it in the middle of the night just for a few little beggars living on the street.

After Xu Huizhen heard what Chen Xueru said about the situation, she was also very enthusiastic about looking for old clothes. She was a woman with a sharp mouth and a warm heart.

Naturally, she had nothing to say, and even took out her daughter's new clothes.

After collecting almost everything, two large parcels were packed. Xu Huizhen asked Cai Quanwu to follow him to help, and he just happened to pick up the things.

Seeing Wang Zhendong at the door, Xu Huizhen smiled and greeted him, "Cadre Wang, you haven't been to my tavern for a long time."

"I was busy with work, so I will come here for a drink when I have time. I like the tripe in your store, and it goes well with Erguotou..."

Wang Zhendong replied with a smile, and with a few polite words, the three of them went out. Wang Zhendong hugged the quilt and carried a wooden bucket for bathing.

Chen Xueru held a towel, soap, and a washbasin.

There was no other way. Last time, Wang Zhendong basically emptied everything in the courtyard, leaving only the coal stove and flue pipes untouched.

Cai Quanwu carried two large cloth bags on a pole, which contained some children's clothes and an old quilt.

The distance was actually not that far, and the three of them soon arrived at the courtyard. Wang Zhendong opened the door and let the two of them go in first before he entered and closed the door.
