Chapter 1050: Unspeakable Suffering

Welfare homes, of course Xi Shi had heard of such places, but she might not be very familiar with them.

For her, everything in the welfare home was so novel!

After pushing open the door and walking in, so many children were circling around Ji Cheng, which made her feel a little strange, but also very happy!

Xi Shi liked these children very much, each one was cuter and more sensible than the other.

In the 1980s, these children had never tasted the taste of candy.

But Xi Shi had, so a few candies made Xi Shi and these children become friends immediately.

After Ji Cheng's parents learned about Xi Shi's origins, their originally somewhat joyful mood faded a little.

At first, of course, they thought Xi Shi was Ji Cheng's girlfriend, but after knowing the truth, they did not change their attitude.

First, they made a table of delicious dishes for Xi Shi. Although it was not a full banquet, it was not bad. It would be difficult for ordinary people to see such a sumptuous meal.

Xi Shi is certainly not stupid. She can see that Ji Cheng and his family have such conditions. This is the best way to welcome them.

This twelfth month, Xi Shi felt some human touch that she could not feel in her wealthy family.

She finally understood some things that her parents and her teachers had never taught her, that is, the word "suffering".

The life stories of these children are more tearful than each other. Some of them were abandoned before they were even a month old. The reason is very simple, because they are girls. There are also children who are sick and their parents are unable to treat them, so they have to send them to welfare homes. There are also children who have lost their parents and stayed in this city alone. They don’t even know their parents’ names, because they are only two or three years old. I don’t know how careless parents lost such a young child. Later, no one claimed the child and the police from the police station sent him to this welfare home.

Xi Shi couldn’t understand, what’s wrong with girls?

Why do we still favor boys over girls in the 1980s?

Why didn't they treat the child when he was sick, but instead cruelly abandoned him?

Where in the world are there such cruel parents?

Ji Cheng seemed quite patient and explained softly. He didn't know the rest, but when the child was sick, the parents who abandoned him were found by the welfare home staff later. However, after seeing the living conditions in their home, they all fell silent.

The staff of the welfare home at that time were all his parents' friends and his comrades-in-arms. Although he was in the army at that time, he often called home. That family of three, the youngest child was sick and needed a large amount of medical expenses, but how difficult was the family?

The whole family shared a bowl of rice, because they were self-sufficient farmers. It was the dry season that year, and the harvest was poor. Not only did they not get much from a few acres of land, but there was also a fire. It was a forest fire that spread directly to their land. The farmland on which the family depended for survival was burned almost beyond recognition. The compensation subsidies distributed by the government were only a dozen yuan in their hands. A dozen yuan, plus all their savings, was no more than a hundred yuan. However, the first course of treatment would cost at least a thousand yuan, which was why they abandoned the child.

Xi Shi was stunned. A thousand yuan! That was just the money she spent on learning piano for three months!

A thousand yuan was really just a number to Xi Shi.

From that time on, Xi Shi changed and began to seriously integrate into the world. Later, despite the opposition of her family, she stayed in the welfare home after graduation and helped Ji Cheng's parents take care of the children in the welfare home. Ji Cheng's parents grew older day by day, and outsiders didn't know that the old director of Danzhou Welfare Home and his wife died hand in hand.

When the old couple were about to go west, it was Xi Shi who proposed to Ji Cheng first. In this way, the old couple left with a smile.

Later, it was Xi Shi's grandfather, Mr. Xi, who first persuaded the family and then personally organized their wedding. However, there were still many voices of opposition in the family. This was actually a wedding without anyone's blessing, but Xi Shi didn't care. Although Ji Cheng persuaded Xi Shi, Xi Shi said that she would take on the responsibility of taking care of all the children in the welfare home. Ji Cheng was still in the army at that time, so he didn't say anything. He couldn't just leave the army and go home to take care of the welfare home after retirement. The burden on his shoulders couldn't be put down.

Then, as time went by, a message came back suddenly, almost making Xi Shi faint. It was the news from Ji Cheng's troops that Ji Cheng had died.

Xi Shi didn't know the specific details, but just said that he died while participating in a research project, and asked his family to mourn.

The mission that year was too chaotic, and they only found some of Ji Cheng's personal belongings at the site of the desert Gobi, so they didn't even find the body.

After being seriously ill for half a month, Xi Shi's family came once. Obviously, they also knew about this matter and wanted to take Xi Shi home. It was said that they wanted to help Xi Shi find another marriage, but Xi Shi refused.

The family wanted to use force, but they were warned by the police station. It was a military marriage, and Xi Shi was now a martyr's widow. Dare to force it?

How many lives do you have?

The family members had completely torn their faces with Xi Shi, and at this time, Mr. Xi had passed away. Xi Shi's father's attitude was very vague. He did not say that he agreed to let Xi Shi continue to persist, nor did he say that she should give up the welfare home, so Xi Shi has persisted alone until today.

In the 1980s, there were some passionate and some ordinary love, but sincerity was everywhere. Xi Shi persisted alone until today. For nearly five years, more than 1,500 days and nights have passed. This made Suo Longqi and Tang Lan, who were listening, suddenly feel the difference of this welfare home. This is no longer a simple welfare home. It represents a heritage, an enduring heritage.

Tang Lan sighed slowly. The ending of the story should not be like this. It should be that Ji Cheng retired gloriously and came back to help Xi Shi run this welfare home and help more children. Suo Longqi said nothing, but he admired this female director a little more and felt a little inferior.

Coming from the same wealthy family, he acted so decisively and straightforwardly. However, when he thought of his father's cold look, he subconsciously shrank his neck.
