Grandma Teresa's orphanage is located in a civilian residential area in the west of Black Iron City near the city wall. Standing at the door of Rong Guyuan, you can see the 30-meter-high wall of Black Iron City and the inner line of the city close to it.
There are some buildings with military functions. The city walls of Black Iron City are the source of confidence and security for the people of Black Iron City. Therefore, although the tall city walls feel a bit depressing and unsightly when viewed from a close distance, in this era, all
No one who lives in the city would find the city's buildings too high. These tall city walls are also the reason why everyone wants to live in the city and the housing prices in all parts of the city are soaring. Not because
Otherwise, just because the city wall brings enough security.
I wonder if his brother is standing guard on the city wall now? When he saw the city wall, Zhang Tie thought of his brother. As the city guards of Black Flame City, it is their unshirkable responsibility to protect the safety of the city wall. Zhang Tie did not know that Heiyan City
The Yancheng City Guards have daily work arrangements and transfers, so naturally they don’t know where his brother will be and what he is doing at this time. Zhang Tie has no interest in finding out, because strictly speaking, everything is related to Black Flame.
The information on the city guards' deployment and military operations are all the secrets of Black Flame City. People may not care about these things in normal times. They can bring out a lot of things in casual chats, but sometimes, it is really necessary.
If you take it seriously, those overly exuberant curiosity may bring a lot of trouble and disaster to yourself and your family. As an ordinary person, Zhang Tie has always strictly adhered to his duties and did not have much curiosity.
.However, after listening to his brother’s news about the Red Turban Bandits yesterday, Zhang Tie still kept a cautious eye and took a closer look at the situation on the city wall in the distance. He didn’t know whether it was a psychological effect or real. Zhang Tie felt that
Today, there seem to be more soldiers standing guard on the walls of Black Flame City and the chilling atmosphere than before.
When Zhang Tie looked away from the city wall, he saw Mother Theresa standing at the door of the orphanage. As usual, at this time every week, Mother Theresa would stand at the door of the orphanage and wait.
With the arrival of Zhang Tie.
As a devout believer of the Gripis sect, Mother Teresa always wears a green nun's robe. There are some white olive branch patterns on the robe, which symbolizes the spirit of the Gripis sect. Her body is slightly fat.
Aunt Teresa, wearing a green robe, gives people the feeling of being like the old lady next door, exuding a gentle and friendly atmosphere.
Green and white are the favorite colors of the Gripis sect believers, and they are also the colors that symbolize their teachings. If nothing else, Zhang Tie feels that the combination of green and white is very good just from the taste of clothing.
, always gives people a kind and pleasing feeling.
When she saw Zhang Tie coming on a tricycle, Mother Teresa showed a smile on her face and turned around and shouted, "Children, your favorite food is here..."
As soon as Zhang Tie stopped the tricycle at the gate of Rongguyuan, five or six eight or nine-year-old children had already run out of the Rongguyuan, in pairs, and began to skillfully help Zhang Tie with the things on the car without Zhang Tie's instructions.
Come.
"Heh...heh...be careful. If you can't move it, let me do it!" As he said this, Zhang Tie started to help move several large clay pots off the car. The little guys were all happy.
With a smile on his face, he carried the clay pot and rushed to Rongguyuan. Then cheers rang out in Rongguyuan. More little guys ran out. Those with a little strength came over to help, and the younger ones came one by one.
Standing on the roadside, eyes wide open, sniffling hard, salivating, looking at the rice soup in the clay pot. For these children who grew up in Rongguyuan, this white as snow, always
The rice soup with a strong rice aroma is absolutely delicious.
At this time, Mother Teresa always looked at these children who had lost their parents since childhood with a kind smile.
Every week, when Zhang Tie's family re-makes rice wine, a lot of rice soup will be left behind when cooking the rice. This rice soup is a treasure. Zhang Tie and his brother have grown up drinking rice soup since they were young. Who are the neighbors around Zhang Tie's house?
When the family gave birth to a baby and had no milk and couldn't afford milk, they often came to Zhang Tie's house to beg for some rice soup to feed the baby.
Rice soup is a good thing and highly nutritious. It is the essence of rice, but it cannot be stored for a long time. It will basically go bad after two days. My mother said that wasting food is a sin, so I keep enough for two days at home.
After weighing the portions, Zhang Tie’s family will give the remaining rice soup to others. Many people with tinted glasses may look down on this rice soup, but for those Rong Gu who often have trouble even having enough to eat.
For the children in the orphanage, this may be the most delicious thing they can drink since they were born. The Zhang family sends rice soup from the orphanage every week for the children in the orphanage to eat.
The last two days, according to Mother Teresa, were the best gift God gave to these children.
In the past, it was Zhang Tie's father who sent rice soup. Later, it became Zhang Tie's brother. Now, it is Zhang Tie. The Zhang family has been in the rice brewing business for many years, so they sent it to Rong Guyuan.
Rice soup has become a tradition of the Zhang family for many years.
Mother Teresa, who was directing a group of little ones to move the pots of rice soup one by one to the orphanage, came over, gave Zhang Tie a gentle hug, held Zhang Tie's head, and placed a kiss on Zhang Tie's forehead.
He gave me a gentle kiss like a blessing.
"Child, God will bless every caring person, and those who can give to others with a kind heart will definitely be blessed by God, and there will be miracles in their lives..."
Mother Teresa had said this sentence many times before, but this time, Zhang Tie had a different feeling when she heard it, and she felt a little emotional.
"Thank you, Mom, I also believe that God will bless kind people!"
Zhang Tie's face was slightly red. Aunt Teresa's body was plump and soft. In the past, she couldn't feel anything when she was hugged by her. Now that she is getting older, she feels a little uncomfortable after understanding a little about men and women.
Although I am not an animal enough to have any thoughts about someone who can be my grandmother, I always feel slightly embarrassed.
After the children in Rongguyuan moved the six clay pots in, they took out the cleaned clay pots in a short time. Each pot can hold more than 10 kilograms of rice soup. Five pots.
It adds up to sixty or seventy kilograms. This little bit of rice soup can be regarded as a "generous" gift to the orphanage who is short of food.
"By the way, Aunt Teresa, when I went to the rice store today, I found that the prices of many grains have begun to increase, and the price of sugar has also begun to increase!" I was waiting for a few little guys to carry the cleaned clay pots.
While the tricycle was idle, Zhang Tie and Grandma Teresa chatted about the increase in food prices. This information was not good news for Rong Guyuan.
After carefully asking Zhang Tie for details, there was indeed a worried look on Mother Teresa's face. She looked into the distance, said nothing for a while, and finally let out a long sigh.
Seeing the worry on Mother Teresa's face and the happy smiles of the little ones around him, Zhang Tie felt his brain heat up, and he reached out and took the ten copper coins his mother gave him in his trouser pocket.
He came out and put it into the hands of Mother Teresa, "Mommy, this is all the money I have, and it is donated to the children here. Although it is not much, it is good to be able to help a little!"
This is Zhang Tie's first time donating money to the Orphanage. Zhang Tie, who used to be extremely poor, had no money to donate. However, in the past two days, his mood gradually became lighter after getting the Black Iron Castle, and his brain suddenly became hot.
"He was generous", and as soon as the money left his hand, Zhang Tie felt a little regretful. He thought that he could just donate 5 copper coins. How could he be so generous and donate it all at once? Now he is so poor that he is penniless. But
It was too cheap to regret it at this time, so Zhang Tie tried his best to act like a good boy, showing his two neat front teeth and smiling slightly shyly.
Mother Teresa, who was stuffed with ten copper coins, was slightly stunned. Then she took a deep look at Zhang Tie, reached out and touched Zhang Tie's head, "My child, your kindness will definitely be rewarded!"
Hearing the word "reward", Zhang Tie suddenly thought of something, and then said to Aunt Teresa with some embarrassment, "Mom, I heard that you have a lot of plant seeds here. Can you give me some? I have one."
My classmate has just moved and has a big yard at home, so I want to give him some seeds as a gift!"
God, forgive me, I lied to your servant. Zhang Tie, who lied to the kind-hearted Mother Teresa for the first time, felt a little embarrassed that his face was burning and his heartbeat was beating. It was also what Mother Teresa said just now:
Only then did Zhang Tie remember that he could "request" something from here. But seeing Zhang Tie's slightly flustered look in the eyes of Mother Teresa, he felt more and more that this "child" was pure and simple.
The Grepis sect is also known as the Patron Saint Sect. The teachings of this sect are the two colors on their clothes - green to protect the earth, and white to eliminate killings. This sect does not worship any idols or gods, but
Worship the earth under everyone's feet. This earth has a name in the mouths of the Gripis sect's believers, Gaya, the mother of the earth. They believe that all living things on the earth are the children of Gaya, the mother of the earth.
It is a sect with the concept that all green on earth is a gift and guardian of all living things from Gaya, the Mother of the Earth.
Zhang Tie didn't know how the Gripis Sect was doing in other places, but in places like the Black Flame City and the Andaman City-State Alliance, which are full of commercial atmosphere and where gold coins are worshiped as God, the Guardian God Sect did not allow them to do so.
Just look at Mother Teresa and the orphanage in front of you. In the Black Flame City, all the relatively powerful religions have magnificent churches or temples. However, the Guardian God Sect has nothing more than the one in front of you.
Apart from this orphanage, there is not even a decent prayer room. In the eyes of many people in Black Flame City, this sect seems to not only teach people to care for flowering plants, encourage people to plant trees every spring and take in a few orphans.
, there is nothing else to say. On the second Sunday of March every year, the day that the Grepis sect calls Gaya, the mother of the earth, the "Mourning Day", the Grepis sect will gather in Black Flame City.
Let’s hold an event to give out various plant seeds to citizens for free on the “Moon Day”, and also raise some donations for the sect. It’s been a while since the “Moon Day” this year, and Mother Teresa should still have a lot of seeds left.
, thinking of this, and then thinking about the vast space and the poor spiritual energy value in the Black Iron Castle where he only planted a few potatoes and corns, Zhang Tie thought that maybe he could get some seeds, no matter what kind of plant, as long as
As long as it can sprout, plant it in the Black Iron Castle so that the Black Iron Castle can accumulate the aura it needs as soon as possible.
Mother Teresa, who heard Zhang Tie asking for seeds, seemed to be more happy than seeing Zhang Tie donating money. She asked Zhang Tie to wait for a while. A few minutes later, Grandma Teresa reappeared and handed over the seed.
Zhang Tie had a cloth bag, which was very heavy inside, weighing almost half a kilogram. Zhang Tie did not open it. After thanking him, he got back on the tricycle with excitement and rode home in a hurry.
