My Courtyard Refuge

Leaving

“Master Bao, you don’t need to say anything, I understand.”

“Xiao Xiang, our country is not rich, and there is only so much we can do. Maybe we will be worse off than them in the future!” Master Bao worried.

“Certainly not, our country is so powerful, there is no threshold that we cannot pass.”

Xiang Xin seemed full of confidence. After all, she had witnessed Daxia’s rise all the way since she was a child.

“well said!”

Next, the work in the cafeteria was really tiring. Fortunately, Xiang Xin was a girl, and everyone took good care of her, so she didn’t get tired.

After finishing all the work, Xiang Xin and his colleagues went back to the dormitory together, and as soon as they lay down, they didn’t want to move anymore.

“Sister Fu, what do you think Master Bao and the others think? The work in the cafeteria is so heavy, why don’t you ask some refugees to come and help?”

Sister Fu, like Master Bao, is a full-time employee of the refugee camp. She explained with a straight face:

“The superior has a rule that the food in the warehouse is confidential and cannot be leaked out, otherwise there will be panic in the camp, and our side is not easy to manage.”

“That’s it!”

“Okay, don’t lie down, it’s time for us to eat, didn’t you come to find your husband, I’ll see you later.” Sister Fu patted Xiang Xin’s thigh and urged.

When Xiang Xin heard this, she immediately regained her spirits.

Everyone came to the staff cafeteria. Compared with the refugees, the food standard here was completely different.

After Xiang Xin prepared the meal, she took the plate and started looking for He Jian. After searching for more than ten minutes, she found her husband.

“Hey!”

Xiang Xin patted each other from behind.

He Jian turned around subconsciously, and found that the person who came was actually his wife, and immediately said pleasantly, “Xiang Xin, why are you here?”

“I’m idle in the hostel, and I just heard that you are recruiting volunteers, so I’ll sign up now.”

He Jian was very moved, and Xiang Xin was obviously aiming at himself.

After talking about you and me, the couple separated again, but they made an appointment for a walk together in the evening.

After lunch, Xiang Xin followed Master Bao and the others to the border to deliver meals to the refugees who were building the wall.

Refugees do not eat and drink for free in the refugee camp. Daxia adopts the relief method of work for relief. Only after working for a day can they get the corresponding food.

Except, of course, the kids.

As for the elderly, there are not many elderly people in the refugee camp anyway, and most of them collapsed on the way to flee famine.

The refugee camp was not far from the border, and it took only ten minutes to arrive. It was the first time in Xiang Xin’s life that he was so close to the border.

Looking at the endless stone wall in front of him, Xiang Xin was a little shocked, “Uncle Bao, how long is this wall?”

“From Jiangao Mountain to the east, all the way to the sea, it must be at least thousands of kilometers.”

“It’s so long, when will it be built?” Xiang Xin asked in surprise.

“According to the plan, it will be completed in May next year.”

“Can you stop the refugees?”

The stone wall was only four or five meters high, so Xiang Xin felt unsafe.

“It should be possible. Don’t we still have a 24-hour patrol team here? It must be fine.” Master Bao is very optimistic.

Ten minutes later, the refugees finally lined up, and Xiang Xin and the others began to distribute food.

Different from the porridge in the refugee camps, the people here are all dry rice. Although the ingredients are the same, the portion is at least two or three times larger.

After all, it’s all physical work, and if you don’t have enough to eat, you won’t have the strength to work.

…

The next day, due to the lack of people in the “orphanage”, Xiang Xin was transferred there again.

“Sister Xiang, you’re here too.” The female high school student said happily.

Xiang Xin nodded, and then asked, “Well, are you doing well at your job?”

“It’s okay. The children here, as long as they have a stutter, are very obedient.”

After finishing speaking, the female high school student led Xiang Xin around the “orphanage”.

“How many children are there?”

“I don’t know the exact number. The number changes every day. There should be more than 300 people!”

“Why didn’t you see the baby?”

“All the babies were sent to the city. The conditions here are too bad, and the survival rate is too low.”

In this way, in the following time, Xiang Xin stayed in the “orphanage” and helped the aunts here take care of their children.

In her spare time, she also played a guest role as a teacher, leading the children to learn Mandarin.

Whether those kids end up staying or not, it never hurts to learn another language.

Three days passed in a flash, and finally it was time to leave. Xiang Xin bid farewell to her husband and set foot on the way back with some volunteers.

In the car, Xiang Xin discovered a strange thing. Dozens of young female refugees appeared in the convoy.

Xiang XinI recognized them at a glance, mainly because these people were not only dressed in rags, but also had skinny bodies, so it was easy to distinguish them from the Chinese.

“Doctor Yang, what’s the matter with these girls?”

Xiang Xin touched Dr. Yang’s arm. He was very experienced and knew what was going on.

Doctor Yang said disdainfully: “Some people, under the guise of volunteers, actually go to the refugee camp to find wives.”

“That’s okay?” Xiang Xin was surprised.

“Why not, no matter what, it’s better for these girls to marry in the country than to stay in a refugee camp.”

“Then can they be naturalized?”

“What are you afraid of? At worst, get married and get a green card first, and naturalization will come slowly.” Doctor Yang replied.

Xiang Xin looked at the girls carefully, and found that although they also had confusion on their faces, they were more filled with unconcealable joy.

And those volunteers with “impure purposes” are mostly middle-aged men in their thirties or forties, and some even in their fifties.

Facing the collective disdainful eyes of the female volunteers, these people not only did not feel ashamed, but smiled brightly one by one.

“How many such things?”

“There are too many, not only Jinglong, but also people from Kunming’s side came here admiringly.

The higher-ups also keep their eyes open and close their eyes. As long as they are not forced, they will basically not interfere.

Moreover, in order to avoid being taken advantage of, the refugee camps can also register for marriage. Only after marriage, these girls are allowed to leave the refugee camp. ”

“So that’s the case. It seems that the higher-ups are quite thoughtful.” Xiang Xin sighed.

“It was all forced. Some bad things happened before, which caused a lot of controversy.”

Half an hour later, Jing Long arrived. Before leaving, Xiang Xin suddenly asked, “Doctor Yang, will you leave Jing Long?”

“Yes, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jinglong is too close to the border, and there will be problems sooner or later.” Doctor Yang said with a wry smile.

Back at the guest house, it was already five o’clock in the afternoon, Xiang Xin did not delay, and chartered a car overnight to Kunming, the capital of Dianzhou.

She slept in Kunming overnight, and early the next morning, she got on the high-speed train to the capital.
