Chapter 719 The Old Shadow of the Republic of China (6) Three in One(2/2)
"Yeah!" The Fourth Master pointed to the house, "The house over there is big enough. There is an orphanage there. The match factory exploded today. All the children who were killed and injured were twelve or thirteen years old."
Lin Yutong sighed softly: "Okay, let's set up an orphanage and ask Mrs. Gui to go there and she has no children and has no intention of getting married again. She was suitable for the past, and with identity protection, it can be used as a safe house to a certain extent. It's great! If the place is not enough, we can free up the house now. There is only a road between the two sides, and management is very convenient."
"Okay!" The Fourth Master hugged Lin Yutong, "Then let's free it up. This place is safer than outside. It's better to accommodate one more person. I'll go find a house tomorrow."
As a result, there was no need to find another house. Guisao brought it back when she came back. Today, she and Hanzai went to the police station to collect people and brought them out. The couple gave Guisao all the deeds and land deeds, and they returned to the countryside.
Lin Yutong took it and then told Mrs. Gui about her plans and the Fourth Master, "You can take care of the children here, and you can also recruit female workers or female students you knew before and be a helper for you. As for the cost of the orphanage, you don't have to worry about it. You can always support the children here to be self-reliant. You also know that raising children is nothing more than food and clothing, and the rest is to be afraid of the children getting sick. I was a doctor, and I will teach you slowly. Common pediatric diseases will not be difficult for you. As for wearing anything else, only the defective cloth dyed in Yongxing dyeing factory is enough for the children to wear. After wearing the older ones, you will be able to overcome them and get over it. We don't need to eat fine rice noodles, which can fill our stomachs. If there are female students who are willing to teach them to read, it will be better."
Mrs. Gui suddenly thought of her child and nodded quickly: "In fact, it's not that troublesome. Children without parents are all sensible. This big one can save energy by taking care of the younger ones. It's a good thing to be able to make a matchbox or something subsidy."
Hanzi's nose felt sour: "I would have met such a kind-hearted person earlier."
He was also an orphan, and he grew up alone on the street. He was hungry and full, but he was lucky if he didn't starve to death.
The next day, Hanzai took Lin Yutong to see the house, and Mrs. Gui went to see Song Kevin. After saying everything, she said: "I think Mr. Yin and his wife really want to do these good deeds. They live very simple at home, and their food is no different from what we eat. Now that they are sheltering orphans, they don't have enough money to fill in. The more they look at them, the more they feel that they are all the same kind of people as us."
Song Kevin nodded: "If you meet again in the future, put it in the orphanage. You can also raise more donations. There are more kind-hearted people coming and going in the orphanage. On the one hand, it will alleviate the economic pressure, and on the other hand, it will be safer for us to meet here occasionally."
Mrs. Gui agreed and then said goodbye.
Lin Yutong was standing in a small yard at this time. The gate was opened, close to the east of the gate, and there was a tap water and a pool. She was a little surprised, "I thought there was only tap water in the concession?"
Hanzai smiled and said, "It was installed last year and hasn't been used much. In the past, I bought two tracts of water to use it for a day. Now it's much more convenient."
Lin Yutong nodded and expressed his understanding, so he began to look at the yard again. The kitchen was next to the tap pool. The old-fashioned stove looked pretty neat and clean inside. There were two rooms on the west side, with a door in the yard and a door on the exterior wall of the yard. There happened to be a street outside, and these two rooms were used as shops.
There is an aisle between the east and west sides, only three meters wide and ten meters long. When you walk over and open the door, you will be the main room. The main room is two floors. As soon as you enter the door, you will find a small hall, and then there is the stairs leading to the second floor. Lin Yutong looked at it and saw that the living room can be used on both sides and a study room. The small hall is regarded as a dining room. The second floor is a private space, just like a bedroom.
After discussing with the Fourth Master in the evening, he immediately asked someone to clean up the house simply. Lin Yutong actually didn't want a shop at home. But the Fourth Master felt that everyone thought that they would be very nervous when they run an orphanage. It would be strange if they closed the shop and lost one income. Isn't it very strange? They simply sealed the door connecting the shop to the yard. The window would not open in the direction of the yard. The entire shop was cut open. Even so, they were rented out soon. On that day, someone came to buy the shop, two rooms, and the people inside opened a shop outside, with a monthly rent of twelve yuan.
After cleaning up these things, then moving the furniture in the house in the concession here, and they will be all alive.
After all these things were done, the Fourth Master bought the house of the Match Factory owner. He didn't want any furniture inside, just enough racks and beds. He had to be customized, but Mrs. Gui said no, "Old Song has already said that he organized people to make furniture. There are not many other furniture, but there are more people. There are more skilled craftsmen among the workers. They just need to work at home after get off work. Now they have made more than 30 racks. The materials are all stuffed by some furniture factories, so I can figure out how to get it together."
That's fine.
As the few people were talking, they heard the voice of Hanzai coming from the stairwell under the stairs, "Sir, Madam, come and see."
The three of them walked in and then they found that under the bed in the stairwell, a wooden board was lifted by Han Zai, and there was a black hole in the four-sided hole below.
"Basement?" The Fourth Master looked inside, but couldn't see clearly.
Hanzai quickly got up and ran out: "I'll go to our house opposite to find a flashlight."
Holding the flashlight, Hanzai walked in front and went down the ladder. Following the fourth master and Lin Yutong, and Gui Sao looked at it.
The Fourth Master found a switch next to the ladder. When the switch was turned on, the light suddenly turned on.
"So big!" Lin Yutong exclaimed. This almost made the entire house a ground floor. "Not only is it powered, but it is also watered." She pointed to a faucet and sink next to the corner of the wall.
The Fourth Master knocked on the wall, "This is simply an underground air raid shelter. I guess the boss didn't find the basement even when he moved in, otherwise he wouldn't have sold the house at such a price."
Hanzai smiled and said, "Then you can't let others know about this place anymore."
Lin Yutong looked around and said, "If the situation is not good, this is a refuge for children. In addition, when the food prices are low, you have to stock up on enough food here. If you have food in your hands, you won't feel panic."
After coming up, Lin Yutong gave Guisao 1,000 yuan and entrusted all the matter to Guisao. She and the Fourth Master completely moved to the courtyard in the alley to live. The next day, Guisao came again, this time she sent the receipt written by Song Kevin, two houses and one thousand yuan.
Lin Yutong looked at it and said nothing, so she put the item together with the note that Qiu Cheng wrote to herself before. Qiu Cheng last time collected two of her prescriptions and left a note to prove that this thing was indeed donated by herself unconditionally. Now there are two large houses and a thousand dollars, and there are still many more 6 consecutive items in the future. She specially found a box, and then put it in the box in the future. Although she didn't know if it would be used, it could at least explain many problems when it was used.
After I slowly sorted out the weather, the weather gradually became warmer. The epidemic has indeed revealed clues.
On that day, Hanzai came with someone, it was Miss Lu.
"This lady has found there, I'll bring her to you." Hanzai pointed at Miss Lu, who was standing at the door. He took out a letter from his arms, "This is sent to the other side, I'll send it to you."
Lin Yutong took the letter and saw that the signature was declared on the cover, and she knew it. It must be that there were signs of an epidemic, and the newspaper here remembered to publish common sense in this regard.
She was not in a hurry to take it apart, but smiled and said to Miss Lu, "Please come in quickly. I didn't expect it was Miss Lu." As she said that, she pointed to the kitchen and said to Hanzai, "There is something you like to eat inside. After eating, I will take a break before leaving."
Hanzai scratched his head and whispered: "I have never seen this woman before. I'd better wait until she leaves before leaving. I'm not at ease if you are alone."
Lin Yutong also followed him and only took Miss Lu to the living room.
"You are really a doctor's parents. I didn't expect you to give the orphan a good house to live here, but you live here." She looked around and saw that this place was really not a good one. It's really a small family.
Lin Yutong didn't answer this and said, "Miss Lu is here today, is there anything wrong?"
She said embarrassedly: "I just want to ask Mr. Yin and his wife to help us talk to Mr. Chen. You know, many medicinal materials are to be transported to Jiangbei. We outsiders are not easy to open up." She looked at Lin Yutong carefully, "Don't worry, my husband will not ask you two to do nothing." As she said that, she took out a piece of paper from her wallet and pushed it over, "This is two thousand, and I will thank you very much."
Lin Yutong glanced at the check and pushed it over.
"Madam Yin, if you think there is less, we can add it." Miss Lu was a little anxious and said this quickly. They threw a lot of money out, but they just walked into the wrong temple gate with their pig heads. They collected money one by one, but the matter was not done at all. There were several government agencies who held positions, asking themselves to donate medicinal materials. How could this work? Everyone needs to eat!
I can't put the money in, and the medicinal materials were donated. What did the master do when I was busy? However, the Yin couple, no matter how they calculated it, they were a fellow villager with their own master. In the past, there was a fellow villager. They were from a fellow villager who went out and helped each other, which was more reliable than outsiders. They couldn't do anything to do. After all, in the eyes of the villagers, they lost their reputation and face. Therefore, she inquired more and found them.
Lin Yutong glanced at the Miss Lu and smiled: "In fact, if you don't need the Chen family to come forward, I can open this joint for you. Whether it is Line 6 or Water. Isn't this all under the management of the city defense camp?" Last time I gave Sister Li something, I believe that as long as the price is appropriate, she will be moved.
Miss Lu's eyes lit up suddenly: "I knew I wouldn't find the wrong person." As she said that, she took out another check, "This is 20,000."
Lin Yutong waved her hand: "It's not a matter of money." Her voice lowered, "If I find a way to ask you to transport the medicinal materials, you can only cooperate with me to find a good medicinal material dealer. Of course, the price will be at the market and the normal business transactions are just asking you to sell the medicinal materials to the designated person. How about it? If you agree, she pushed the check over, "I won't take a penny."
"This" Why? Will the market for medicinal materials still change? She wants to make a big profit by stocking up her medicinal materials?
Lin Yutong naturally couldn't tell the truth to her, and just smiled and said, "I know what Miss Lu is thinking. But I can do the same thing, but you can't do it. Do you think this is the reason?"
That's right. If the epidemic is really there, if the master hoards so many medicinal materials, he will be charged with hoarding. At that time, not only will the medicinal materials be confiscated, but even people will have to put them in. No matter how much skin is scraped off, they will not get out of it.
"I'll go back and talk to our master and reply to you as soon as possible." Miss Lu said and stood up to say goodbye.
Lin Yutong pushed the check over and said, "Walk slowly but not send it."
This Miss Lu is also a smart person. She pretended to be 20,000 and kept the two thousand. "Just what we thought about orphans at that time."
This time, Lin Yutong did not refuse. After seeing her off, she gave the check directly to Hanzai and asked him to hand it over to Guisao to account.
After Hanzai left, Lin Yutong opened the declaration envelope, which contained a mailed remittance slip, totaling 28 yuan. It turned out that the thing was planned to be published a little a day, and he estimated that it would be published for a month. Now he gave 28 yuan, which means that he could make one dollar in about one or two hundred words a day. According to the current price level, this dollar is quite a lot.
It’s true that literati are still popular!
