Chapter 2 The Orphanage
Mother Teresa's orphanage is located in a civilian residential area near the city wall on the west side of Heitiecheng. Standing at the gate of Guyuan, you can see the 30-meter-high city wall of Heitiecheng and the inner line of the city close to the city wall. Some of the buildings with military functions, the walls of the Black Iron City are the source of confidence and security for the people of the Black Iron City, so although the tall city walls are a bit depressing and not beautiful when viewed from a close distance, but in this era, all No one who lives in the city thinks that the urban buildings in his city are too high. This tall city wall is also the reason why everyone wants to live in the city and the housing prices in all places in the city are soaring. Others, just because the city wall brings enough sense of security.
I don't know if my brother is standing guard on the city wall now? When he saw the city wall, Zhang Tie thought of his elder brother. As the city guards of Heiyan City, it was their bounden duty to guard the safety of the city wall. Zhang Tie did not know the daily work arrangements of the city guards of Heiyan City. Zhang Tie has no interest in inquiring, because strictly speaking, everything related to the mobilization and military operations of the Black Yancheng City Guards The information is all the secrets of Heiyan City. You may not care about these things at ordinary times, and you can bring out a lot of things when you chat casually, but sometimes, if you really want to be serious, those too lush curiosity , may bring a lot of trouble and disasters to himself and his family. As an ordinary person, Zhang Tie has always kept his duty strictly and did not have much curiosity. However, after hearing the news about the Red Scarf Bandit from his brother yesterday, Zhang Tie still kept an eye out, and deliberately looked at the situation on the distant city wall twice. I don't know if it is psychological or real. The soldiers standing guard on the walls of the Heiyan City and the chilling atmosphere seemed to be a little more than before.
When he looked away from the city wall, Zhang Tie saw Mother Teresa standing at the gate of the orphanage. As usual, at this time of the week, Mother Teresa would stand at the gate of the orphanage and wait. With Zhang Tie's arrival.
As a devout believer of the Grypis Sect, Mother Teresa always wears a green nun robe with some white patterns of olive branches symbolizing the spirit of the Grypis Sect, and her body is slightly fatter. Wearing a green robe, Mother Teresa gave off a gentle and friendly atmosphere like the old lady next door.
Green and white are the favorite colors of the Grypis and the colors that symbolize their teachings. Not to mention anything else, Zhang Tie felt that the combination of green and white was very good in terms of dressing taste, and it always gave people a kind and pleasing feeling.
Seeing Zhang Tie coming on a tricycle, Mother Teresa showed a smile on her face, and turned her head and shouted, "Children, here comes your favorite food..."
When Zhang Tie stopped the tricycle at the entrance of the Rongguyuan, five or six children aged eight or nine had already run out of the Rongguyuan. They were in groups of two, and they began to skillfully help Zhang Tie with the things on the cart without Zhang Tie's instructions. Come.
"Heh...heh...be careful, let me do it if you can't move it!" While talking, Zhang Tie helped move the big clay pots from the car, and the little guys were all happy With a smile on his face, he carried the clay pot and rushed to the orphanage, and then there was cheers in the orphanage, and more little guys ran out, the ones with a little strength came to help, and the younger ones came one by one. Standing on the side of the road, his eyes widened, he sniffed vigorously and took a breath, looking at the rice soup in the clay pot while drooling. For these children who grew up in Rong Guyuan, this rice soup, which is as white as snow and always has a strong rice fragrance, is peerless and delicious.
At this time, Mother Teresa always looked at these children who lost their parents with a kind smile.
Every week, when Zhang Tie's family re-made rice stuffed rice,
When cooking rice, there will be a lot of rice soup left behind. This rice soup is a treasure. Zhang Tie and his brother grew up drinking rice soup since they were young. Some neighbors around Zhang Tie’s family gave birth to children and have no milk. They can’t afford milk. I often come to Zhang Tie's house to ask for some rice soup to feed the children.
Rice soup is a good thing with high nutrition. It is the essence of rice, but it cannot be preserved for a long time. Basically, it will be broken after two days. My mother said that wasting food is a sin. Therefore, I keep enough for two days at home. After portioning, Zhang Tie's family will bring the leftover rice soup to others. Many people with tinted glasses may look down on this kind of rice soup, but for those children in orphanages who often have problems with eating enough, it may be the only thing they can drink when they are born. Best thing ever. The Zhang family sent the rice soup to the orphanage every week, which could be eaten by the children in the orphanage for two days. According to Mother Teresa, it was the best gift from heaven to these children.
In the past, it was Zhang Tie's father who sent the rice soup. Later, it became Zhang Tie's elder brother. Now, it is Zhang Tie. Zhang's family has been in the rice brewing business for many years, so they sent it to the orphanage. Rice soup for many years has become a tradition of the Zhang family.
Sister Teresa, who directed a team of little guys to move clay pots containing rice soup one by one to the orphanage, came over, gave Zhang Tie a gentle hug, hugged Zhang Tie's head, and placed it on Zhang Tie's forehead. He kissed lightly like a blessing.
"Son, God will bless every caring person, and those who can give to others with kindness will surely receive God's blessing in the dark, and there will be miracles in life..."
Mother Teresa said this sentence many times before, but this time, Zhang Tie had a different feeling when she heard it, and felt a little emotional in her heart.
"Thank you, Mammy, I also believe that God will bless kind people!"
Zhang Tie's face was slightly flushed. Sister Teresa's body was plump and soft. She didn't feel anything when she hugged her before. Now that she is getting bigger and bigger, she feels a little uncomfortable after knowing a little about men and women. Although I haven't been a beast enough to think about someone who can be my grandmother, I always feel slightly embarrassed.
After the little guys in the orphanage moved the six clay pots in, they took out the cleaned pots in a short time. Each pot can hold more than 10 catties of rice soup, and five pots It adds up to sixty or seventy catties. This little rice soup can be regarded as a "generous" gift for an orphanage that is short on food.
"By the way, Sister Teresa, when I went to the rice store today, I found that the price of many grains has started to rise, and the price of sugar has also started to rise!" Waiting for a few little guys to bring the cleaned clay pots to the store. In the neutral position of the tricycle, Zhang Tie and Mother Teresa chatted about the food price increase. This news was not good news for the orphanage.
After carefully asking Zhang Tie for some details, Sister Teresa really had a worried look on her face. She looked into the distance and didn't speak for a while, and finally she only let out a long sigh.
Looking at the worried look on Mother Teresa's face and the happy smiles of the little ones beside him, Zhang Tie felt his brain heat up, so he reached out and took the pocket money of ten copper coins that his mother gave him in his trouser pocket. Come out and put it in Mother Teresa's hand, "Mommy, this is all the money I have on me. I donate it to the children here. Although it's not much, it's good to help a little!"
This is the first time Zhang Tie has donated money to the orphanage. Zhang Tie, who was so poor before, has no money to donate. It's just that his mood has gradually become more relaxed after getting the Black Iron Fort in the past two days, and his brain became hot for a while. As soon as the money left his hands, Zhang Tie felt a little bit regretful in his heart, thinking that he could just donate 5 coppers, why was he so generous, he donated all of it at once, and now he was so poor again. But at this time, it would be too cheap to repent, so Zhang Tie tried his best to look like a good baby, smiling slightly shyly showing his two neat front teeth.
Sister Teresa, who was stuffed with ten copper coins, was slightly stunned, then took a deep look at Zhang Tie, reached out and touched Zhang Tie's head, "Son, your kindness will definitely be rewarded!"
Hearing the word "return", Zhang Tie suddenly thought of something, and then said to Mother Teresa with some embarrassment, "Mother, I heard that you have a lot of plant seeds here, can you give me some? My classmate just moved, and there is a big yard in the house, I want to give him some seeds as a gift!"
Forgive me, O God, that I have lied to your servant. Zhang Tie, who lied to the kind Mother Teresa for the first time, really felt ashamed that his face was burning and his heart beating. It was just when Mother Teresa mentioned the word "return" that Zhang Tie remembered that he could "ask" for something from here. However, seeing Zhang Tie's slightly flustered look in Sister Teresa's eyes at this moment, she felt more and more that this "child" was pure and simple.
The Grypis sect is also known as the guardian god sect. The teachings of this sect are the two colors on their clothes - use green to protect the earth, and use white to eliminate killing. The sect does not worship any idols or gods, but Worship the land under the feet of all people. This land has a name in the mouths of Grypis believers, the mother of the earth, Gaya. They believe that all creatures on the earth are the children of the mother of the earth, Gaya. All the green in the world is the gift and guardian of the mother of the earth, Gaya, to all living beings.
Zhang Tie doesn’t know how the Grypis Sect is doing in other places, but in Black Flame City and the Andaman City-State Alliance, a place full of commercial atmosphere and gold coins are regarded as gods, the Guardian God Sect does not let You will see, this point, just look at Mother Teresa and the orphanage in front of you. In Heiyan City, all religions with a little power have magnificent churches or temples, and the Guardian God Sect has grand churches or temples, and the Guardian God Sect has grand churches or temples. Outside of this orphanage, there is not even a decent prayer room. In the eyes of many people in Heiyan City, this sect seems to have nothing else to say except teaching people to love flowers and plants, advocating people to plant trees every spring and taking in a few orphans. On this Sunday, the Grypis Sect will hold a "Mum Grace Day" activity in Heiyan City to give away various plant seeds to citizens for free on the day that Gary, the mother of the earth, is called by the Grypith Sect. Donate a little money for the sect. It’s been a while since the “Blessing Day” this year. Mother Teresa should still have a lot of seeds left. Thinking of this, and thinking about how empty I have only planted a few potatoes and corn With the vast space and poor aura in the Black Iron Fortress, Zhang Tie felt that maybe he could ask for some seeds, no matter what plants, as long as they can germinate, and plant them in the Black Iron Fortress so that the Black Iron Fortress can grow. Accumulate the aura value you need as soon as possible.
Mother Teresa, who heard that Zhang Tie asked for seeds, seemed happier than seeing Zhang Tie donate money. She asked Zhang Tie to wait for a while. A few minutes later, Mother Teresa who reappeared handed Zhang Tie was in a cloth bag, which was heavy and weighed almost half a catty. Zhang Tie didn't open it. After thanking him, he got on the tricycle again with excitement, and rode home in a hurry.
