Chapter 729: The Battle of Undoubted Loss(1/2)
Qu County is a barren county, but unfortunately it is a famous orphan county.
In this deserted northern area, too many children are abducted and sold, and too many children are abandoned and left behind.
So, before I knew it, the orphanage in Qu County was like a kindergarten, with more and more children inexplicably, but no one claimed them back, and no one wanted to adopt them.
"Grandma Zhao, brother is back." In the yard, a little girl about ten years old in a rusty wheelchair happily entered the room.
"How do you know?" The mother-in-law of the dean with a black spot on her face walked out.
"I just know" the little girl looked proud of a magician.
Sure enough, not long after, footsteps came from outside the yard, and a half-length young man with a ion-scalding body came in, looking like a thin and slender version of Adu
As soon as "Little Fruit" entered the yard, the young man looked at the old swing under the tree. The swing was empty and there was nothing.
"I'm here." Guoguo waved his hands at the other end of the house towards the young man at the entrance of the yard.
The young man laughed, then slowly pushed out a metal object from behind the fence of the yard and said, "Guess what I brought for you, only show you a small part."
"I can't see clearly..." The little girl looked excited and wanted to get rid of the old wooden wheelchair she was sitting in and ran over to see what gift her brother brought to her.
My brother doesn’t come back often, but he will bring gifts to himself every time he comes back. So for Guoguo, I read books every day, sit on the swing in a daze, and chat with Grandma Zhao, the most anticipated thing that my brother can come back.
The young man walked in, holding a big box in his hands, which exposed a part of the metal frame, but he didn't know what it was.
"What is this? It's not a large Transformer, right?" Guoguo asked in confusion.
"Stupid, I'll buy this for you. It's mechanical legs."
"Mechanical legs?" Grandma Zhao raised her eyebrows beside her.
"Come on, just try it." As he said that, Zhao Tinghua had quickly unpacked the packaging, revealing a pair of mechanical leg-shaped brackets that looked very advanced.
There is a metal pad similar to a shoe groove at the bottom of the bracket, which allows you to step down your feet, and then connect the movable metal bracket to the knee position, then to the thighs and waist to support your entire legs.
Zhao Tinghua asked the little girl to sit there and slowly put these mechanical legs into Guoguo's legs.
"Press this switch, the metal frame will support you. Press this switch and the metal legs will take you through." Zhao Tinghua said.
Xiao Guoguo's face was full of novelty and carefully did what Zhao Tinghua said.
Pressing the red switch, the metal frame seemed to be injected into life, and it slowly supported Guoguo's strengthless legs.
Guoguo's face was full of surprise and disbelief, but she actually stood up
"Press this button again." Zhao Tinghua said.
Guoguo was surprised and was a little timid towards joy. Her little hand trembled and pressed the button next to her. Suddenly, the mechanical legs rose up strongly, and then took a step forward with her weak-strengthed legs...
This step made the little girl very happy because she had never experienced this feeling of being able to take steps since she became sensible.
"Keep it all the time." Zhao Tinghua looked at the little girl's smile and continued.
"Yeah" Guoguo nodded heavily. She pressed the moving button, and her mechanical legs went from slow to fast, step by step, and actually sent her to "run" in the yard.
"I can leave now"
"I can leave now, mother-in-law, look, I can leave Xiaobin, big lard, Nannan... Come quickly, I can leave now."
Guoguo kept walking in the yard with her mechanical legs, like a bird that had just learned to fly, and the whole yard was filled with her extremely happy laughter.
After a while, a few more kids were added in the yard. They had never seen such a magical thing, surrounded Guoguo, looking like they couldn't believe it.
"What is this?"
"So cool, Guoguo is walking so fast"
"Guoguo, it's great, you can go out with us." The children had a hilarious moment, and they had never seen such a magical thing before.
Next to the room, Grandma Zhao looked at Guoguo and other children playing in the yard with a smile, and it took a long time to withdraw her gaze.
Isn’t it just to see the children laughing like this?
"Actually, if you buy her a new wheelchair, she will be happy for a long time. This thing is very expensive, right?" Grandma Zhao looked at Zhao Tinghua, who was already adult, and asked.
"Fortunately, it was given by an American friend." Zhao Tinghua said.
"Oh, a while ago, the black guy Zhou Yan called me and told me that he was in New York. It's great, you can all deal with foreigners." Zhao Yuanzi said.
Zhao Tinghua was silent for a while, and waited until the old lady's smile slowly eased before whispering: "I'm going to the United States again. This time... it may take a long time, so I won't be able to come back to see you."
"Go and develop well. There is not much you need to worry about here." The old lady said.
"Yes." Zhao Tinghua nodded.
“When should I go?”
"It's just a few days."
"By the way, why did you have so much money at once? Don't give it to this money here. Now the government has given us a lot of help. The more you and Zhou Yan give, the more it will actually encourage some people to abandon their children. It's not that I don't want the children to live a good life, but that since they need to endure hardships, they will only know that they will work hard when they grow up. The things they get in vain will make them lazy." said the dean's mother-in-law.
"I know, but like Guoguo, we should always find a way to cure..." Zhao Tinghua said.
"She is lucky. The kind-hearted person saved her life, otherwise we can't afford the expensive medical expenses. How many children have been...ah..." The old lady sighed, not very dared to recall the past, and hurriedly changed the topic, "Let's talk about those money, your income in the club is not particularly high, right?"
"I transferred and signed a contract with an American coach. They gave me a very high transfer fee. They sent this mechanical leg from the United States," said Zhao Tinghua.
"Oh, that's very good..." Grandma Zhao nodded, and was about to praise Zhao Tinghua for a few words, she suddenly remembered something, and frowned slightly and said, "No, I heard from the black guy that our Chinese e-sports national team is about to play against the United States. Are you turning to the United States at this critical moment?"
The old man often reads news, and she also knows that e-sports has entered the Olympics now and Zhou Yan is already a member of the Olympics, which is a very gratifying thing.
Although the old man didn't understand why Zhao Tinghua was not selected, he could also learn a lot of information about e-sports through some news.
"This..." Zhao Tinghua didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
Seeing Zhao Tinghua's embarrassment, the smart dean understood immediately and his whole face was pulled down instantly.
"You want to play the Olympics for the Americans?" Dean Zhao asked.
Zhao Tinghua didn't say anything.
Grandma Zhao's face completely sank
"Guoguo, come here." Grandma Zhao suddenly called the little girl who was having a lot of fun.
Guoguo is very obedient and has come over with her mechanical legs. She enjoys the feeling of being able to walk.
"Take this off." Dean Zhao suddenly ordered with a cold face.
"Mother-in-law" Zhao Tinghua suddenly became anxious.
Guoguo stood there, not knowing what happened, and looked at Dean Zhao with a gaze.
If she would do whatever the dean said in the past, she would do it immediately, but now she really likes this treasure...
"I told you to take off this." Dean Zhao's voice was already a little sharp.
Guoguo and the other children were frightened. Guoguo didn't dare to ignore him. She sat back on the wooden wheelchair and took off her mechanical legs with great effort.
After taking it off completely, Guoguo still had a little grievance in her eyes, and she didn't dare to look at Dean Zhao's eyes.
"Mother-in-law, what are you?" Zhao Tinghua was also panicked.
"Go back, return this thing." The dean tapped the mechanical leg with a long staff, as if the mechanical leg suddenly turned into something extremely dirty.
"What's wrong with mother-in-law?" Guoguo was almost crying, but she didn't know what to do.
When Dean Zhao saw Guoguo crying, his expression on his face calmed down a little, and he explained: "Guoguo, if this thing was something your brother got because he wanted to sell his country, could you still want it?"
Guoguo was stunned for a moment, looked at her mother-in-law, then at Zhao Tinghua, and shook her head in a hurry.
"Mother-in-law, it's not as serious as you said. E-sports cannot be said like this." Zhao Tinghua hurriedly explained.
"Okay, even if you are not selling your own country, tell me, if you help the United States play the Olympics, will you meet the Chinese team?" Grandma Zhao asked coldly.
"This...will...but..." Zhao Tinghua said.
"That's nothing. If you go to the United States to develop, I won't blame you. If you get an American ID card, it means you are very outstanding. Americans want to curry favor with you... But what's the matter if you represent the United States in the Olympics to fight our own country? What's the difference between you and selling your own country?" said Dean Zhao.
President Zhao came from the revolutionary period, and his hatred towards traitors has penetrated into his bones.
Zhao Tinghua was also a little anxious by the dean's statement and blurted out: "We are very ordinary people, and the country has a lot to do with us. The United States can help Guoguo's legs be cured. On our own, if there is a real medical insurance, A Bao and the others will not die of illness. With a social security, there will not be so many stray children like us who have lived by picking up garbage since childhood."
"Shut up" Dean Zhao's chest surged violently.
Zhao Tinghua also exuded the resentment that was blocked in his stomach, because he was just an absolute wandering child, not relying on his dirty hands, and he didn't even have the power to live to this day.
Originally, Zhao Tinghua's principle was not to help other countries play Olympics. However, after the gorilla coach suggested that he could cure Guoguo's legs, his firm things finally loosened. If he could get a chance to be reborn through his own strength and efforts, then why would he still be stubborn on the issue of the country? What has this country given him? Apart from his dark childhood, unfair treatment, indifference, ruthlessness and cruelty?
"Mother-in-law, brother, stop arguing." Guoguo also cried anxiously and persuaded him.
She struggled to take off the small metal frame and said to her mother-in-law and Zhao Tinghua: "I don't want this... this anymore. As long as my mother-in-law and brother don't argue, I'll sit on the chair without any bad luck. It's very laborious to walk. You see, I've been sweating a lot and I'm so tired."
Obviously, Guoguo is a little girl who can't lie. The pretending in her eyes was too obvious. Everyone could see that her childish sensibility made Zhao Tinghua helpless. She touched her sweaty cheek and said, "Guoguo, I will take you to the United States in a while to cure your legs. You don't even need this thing. You can walk by yourself, and you can run... Chasing butterflies, chasing dragonflies, chasing kites..."
After hearing this, a flaw appeared on Guoguo's face.
Dean Zhao looked at the expression on Guoguo's face, but he didn't know what to say.
Everyone has the right to pursue their own life. Even the dean doesn’t know if Zhao Tinghua is hopelessly wrong in doing this.
However, there are some things that President Zhao still wants to tell Zhao Tinghua that he cannot let Zhao Tinghua have that idea.
"Our orphanage is maintained by the government. Although the money given is really small, and there may be corruption deductions, without this little maintenance, there will be no orphanage, and there are no you now... The hospital has waived a lot of orders for us, but some too expensive treatments that the hospital cannot afford. There are donations every year, and these donations are very small, but which cent does not come from people in our own country. Guoguo's disease is not a big deal for such a large amount of surgery. She is now lying with A Bao and the others in a cold small box. This kind-hearted person is also from our own country. Yes, God is very unfair. Some of you have grown up healthily and some die young. What you see should not be A Bao and the others die, and then blame something, but should thank the government for the grants, kind-hearted people donate, and adults like you who sent back to the yard to make more children grow up healthily."
