1792, Children's Stories

The party is coming to an end. Xiao Muyou looked at the time and it was already past nine o'clock, but the enthusiasm of the students is still very high.

Xiao Muyou quietly walked out of the crowd, took a few photos at the party scene in the distance with her cell phone.

Originally, Xiao Muyou wanted to shoot a video, but she tried it just now and couldn't send it out at all. The signal was too bad. She also tried to call Lei Yan, but the picture kept stuttering and intermittent, so she had to make a phone call instead.

"Didn't you sleep so late?"

Lei Yan's voice came over the phone, low, gentle, with a hint of concern and pampering.

"It's only been around nine o'clock now. Have you seen the photos I sent? We are having a party here, and the children here are so enthusiastic. Are you at home?"

As soon as Xiao Muyou finished asking, he heard a pleasant piano sound from his phone.

"Is your sister playing the piano?"

"Well, Xin'er said that there was an event in the training class after a while, and she also participated. She would go on stage to perform a piano music. She has been practicing at home every night these days, and she is almost obsessed with it."

Lei Yan's tone sounded a little disgusted, but Xiao Muyou knew that Lei Yan was very happy now because Lei Xin finally found what she liked and began to learn to integrate into this society.

"Is she happy? I think she should go out often. You, the brother, cannot be with her every day, so let her make more friends."

"I know, I just said that. You know, I prefer quietness. My home has been shrouded in the sound of the piano these days."

Xiao Muyou can think of Lei Yan's life situation these days. He probably woke up from the piano and fell asleep in the piano. Thinking of this, Xiao Muyou still found it very funny. It was Lei Xin who could endure it again and again.

"Is it Sister Mu You? Brother, I have something to talk to Sister Mu You."

At this time, Lei Xin's voice came from the phone, and Lei Yan could only hand over the phone to Lei Xin.

"Sister Mu You, I have a performance on September 16th. Are you back then?"

When Xiao Muyou heard this, he calculated the time. They set out to leave here the day after tomorrow, and then went to the next destination, and then returned to Kyoto. In this way, it would take about seven to eight days to wait for the time on the road, and it seemed that they had time to rush back, so he said.

"It should be OK, what's wrong?"

"Then can I invite Sister Mu You to see my performance? Actually, it's not a formal performance. It's a report performance for our training class. Can you come?"

"Of course, you can send me the specific time and place at that time, and I will definitely go there."

"Really? That's great, but unfortunately my brother said he wasn't available. Forget it, he doesn't have any musical cells anyway, so he won't waste a ticket."

As soon as Lei Xin finished speaking, Xiao Muyou heard Lei Yan's voice coming from the phone.

"Xin'er, what are you saying? Who said I'm not available anymore? I have time and I have time very much. Keep the ticket for me."

Xiao Muyou on the other end of the phone heard this and smiled slightly. This guy seemed to be much more interesting than before. If she could see Lei Yan now, she really wanted to hug her, but now there is more than a thousand kilometers between them, which is too far away.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and the school party ended. Xiao Muyou hung up the phone and returned to the dormitory with Chen Li and the others.

It was another quiet night. The next day, they continued to work according to the itinerary. At the same time, Chen Li and Zhang Shijie found Principal Chen and told him about the matter they wanted to fund the five children. In less than half a day, Principal Chen handed over a list.

Xiao Muyou looked at the list and frowned slightly. She thought that the list submitted by the school might exceed their funding quota, but she didn't expect it to exceed so many.

"There are fifteen students in difficulty? Principal Chen, morning..."

Principal Chen interrupted before Xiao Muyou finished speaking.

"Mr. Xiao, I know that this list is embarrassing for you, but this has been considered repeatedly by several teachers. You see, there are their detailed information after this."

Xiao Muyou sat down and looked through it quietly.

Among the fifteen extremely poor students, six of them have no parents. On these lists, Hu Xin's condition is not the worst.

There is also a little boy named Xu Dong, who has no father or mother, and his grandparents are no longer there. Logically speaking, in this case, you can directly send it to the local orphanage.

But he also has an uncle, but this uncle is a farmer and his aunt doesn't like them, so in fact, there is no difference between Xu Dong and the orphan. The key is that he also has an eight-year-old sister who is now in this school.

There is also a child named Zhao Xiaoshan on the list who lost his mother at a young age and his father is still there, but a few years ago, he found out that he had kidney failure and lost his ability to work, and he had to bear expensive medical expenses.

Now Zhao Xiaoshan has a few cows and some chickens, ducks and poultry at home. Zhao Xiaoshan has to get up before dawn every day to feed these poultry, and then prepare food for his father before he can come to school to attend classes.

It is said that Zhao Xiaoshan has to live in the school, but in order to take care of his father and the poultry at home, he has to walk an hour and a half to the mountain road to school every day. After school, he has to dig pig grass in the mountains and chop wood to sell it for money, so that he can maintain a basic livelihood.

Xiao Muyou looked at the thick stack of information in her hand, and she was also embarrassed. She didn't know how to make a decision that might change the fate of these children. After thinking about it, she finally said.

"Principal Chen, keep this list with me first. I need to take it back and let my team make a detailed budget."

Principal Chen also knew that this kind of funding could not be determined in just one or two sentences, not to mention that they have seen what this group of people did in the past two days. Not to mention that they have brought so many things to the school, they are already grateful just to treat Teacher Wu.

"Okay, Mr. Xiao, no matter what, I still have to thank you for everything you have done for these children. It's too difficult for these children to get out of the mountains."

On this day, everyone seemed to be in a heavy mood. I don’t know when this list spread among the crowd, and everyone became particularly silent. In addition, they will leave here tomorrow and rush to the next destination, so they still feel reluctant.

When she returned to the dormitory in the evening, Xiao Muyou held a brief meeting. Everyone sat together and re-studied the funding list. In the end, they did not choose a suitable funding list.

"Mr. Xiao, I have calculated that if you only support them in school, it will not cost much. Moreover, the guide Xiao Xu said just now that the government departments of this kind of extremely poor households also have some exemption policies. If calculated based on the three-year high school expenses, each child's tuition and living expenses will be enough for five thousand per person. Of course, we can only ensure that they have enough food."

"Old Zhang, but the children on this list may not be solved by funding tuition fees. Look at Xu Dong, there is a sister, and Zhao Xiaoshan, his father's situation, should we ignore it?"

Ma Huixin said a little unbearable. Women have always been soft-hearted, especially after seeing the situation of these children, they can't stand it even more.

At this time, Xiao Muyou spoke.

"It seems that after returning to Kyoto this time, some of us were busy. Lao Zhang, I want to set up a special fund, with our Yaohua Cultural and Creative Group fully responsible. We do not take action on others, and we must ensure that every money is used in practice."

After Xiao Muyou said this, Zhang Shijie was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise.

"Mr. Xiao, isn't this the same as what we did before? You're not afraid..."

"No, this time we must conduct in-depth investigations when selecting the funding list. We blamed ourselves before that time. Many lists have not been repeatedly confirmed, and those who are funded are also uneven. But this time, we must make sure that no one who is funded must be directly contacted and after a deep understanding, we must confirm whether to provide funding. The amount of funding does not need to be too much, and they only bear their tuition and living expenses before high school. As for the expenses after college, it depends on them. College students are all adults, and now universities have various scholarships. If they are not good, they can still work and study. There is always a way."

"Yes, the problem we had before was that those funded people had already gone to college. They could work hard with both hands, but over-rely rely on our funding, which caused their greed."

The meeting lasted for more than an hour, and finally some substantial progress was made, but the specific implementation would have to be arranged after they returned to Kyoto.

"Okay, everyone should pack up and go back to rest. We will leave tomorrow morning, and then take a rest in Mian City for a day and set off for the next stop. I hope everything will go well in the next stop."

The next day, in order to avoid causing trouble, Xiao Muyou and the others chose to leave while the children were in class.

At 8:30 in the morning, halfway through the first class, Xiao Muyou and his group quietly left the school with their luggage. Compared to the large amount of luggage when they came, it was much easier to leave.

But when they were about to reach the school gate, a neat song came from behind them, a local mountain song expressing the reluctance to bid farewell to their best friend.
