"I heard that there will be martial law at night, and you can't sleep on the street. Iszawi asked me to ask if your family can let me stay for one night."
Facing such a vigilant and obedient little girl, Hong Tao was too embarrassed to make up nonsense, so he simply told the truth. If you are allowed to live, you can live. If you don¡¯t, it¡¯s okay. You can sleep in the suburbs. In fact, it seems safer in the wild than here.
"Crackling You Come in. Dad said you can't open the door for others, but Dad said you are a good person. I wanted to thank you, but I went to Uncle Iszawi's shop and couldn't find it."
The two children discussed a few words in a low voice, as if they had reached a consensus, the iron door finally opened. The little girl was still a little uneasy, and planned to find a reason to dissolve her fear.
"Boom Kacha, Kacha, Kacha" As the front foot stepped in, the iron door was closed with the back foot, and there was a continuous sound of latches. Every time Hong Tao thought that there would be no next one, he was always wrong.
Looking back, good guy, there are 6 simple bolts made of steel bars from top to bottom. It seems that as long as the inside is unwilling to open the door, even if the door frame is removed, it cannot be opened. It is too strong.
Just entering the house from the sunny outside feels a little dark, but it is actually dark after the eyes are familiar with it. All the windows in the house were sealed with wooden boards, and even had steel bars. It seemed that only half of the windows could be opened, otherwise it would be completely dark.
As for the furniture and decoration, don't mention it. The tables, chairs, benches, wardrobes and bookshelves are all old, and they are 100% different. Bookshelves, that's right, bookshelves, not only the shelves but also the books, there are three floors.
"Are you reading?" Just when Hong Tao wanted to go over to see what books were there, he inadvertently saw two open books and two small blackboards on the table in the corner where the sun was shining.
"Dad said, you can only go out after finishing your homework!" The little girl was more precocious, a bit like a little adult, and she even knew how to bring a stool for Hong Tao. The little boy leaned against the door stupidly, staring at Hong Tao with one finger still in his mouth.
"The children here also study?" Hong Tao has never seen what refugees living in other forces look like, but he has been wandering in Xinjiang for several years, and this is the first time he has seen refugee children studying.
Could it be that the Redeemer has prepared teachers for the children of refugees, which is a great thing. Without a reserve of knowledge, no matter how many children are born, it will be difficult to restore technology. If this is the case, I have to look up to the high-level vision of the Redeemer.
"" The little girl shook her head.
"What is the use of reading?" Well, the slightest expectation just mentioned was extinguished again.
"Be a resident! Dad said that after learning the textbooks, you can go to the base to find a job!" The little boy will rush to answer and prefer to show off. He knows the answer to this question.
"Your father read a lot, why didn't he find a job in the base?" Hong Tao pointed to the bookshelf opposite, a little puzzled.
He is really not a bully, and he doesn't want to discourage children's enthusiasm for learning, but he just doesn't want to use deceptive means to fool children into studying. Being fooled for a while will not last a lifetime. Reading is a long and arduous process, and being fooled alone is useless.
" Dad used to work in the base, but he was kicked out after he broke his leg!" This time the little boy was silent, but the little girl heard that there was disrespect in his words, and she was eager to tell her father.
"Well, you are all good children, and your father is also a good father. I have also read the book, and I have two questions, and I will be rewarded if I get it right!" It turned out that the father of the two children was cleared out from the base.
It's a pity that such a person's arms and legs are not important, but the brain is the essence. There are so many children in the Redeemer base who can't even be taught to read and write. Even if they are kindergarten teachers, they can be regarded as giving full play to their talents.
Since I saw it today, I can't pretend that nothing happened. I can't do too much, but it is still possible to make children more interested in learning, which is better than nothing.
In the next two hours or so, Hong Tao continued to have math and Chinese problems, and the two children were motivated by dried fish and cheese. They may never know that there are so many benefits to reading, their little faces are full of excitement, and their eyes are more agile.
"Bang bang bang Camilla, Jiajia, Dad is back" Just as the sun was setting, there was a knock on the iron door, and there was a man's voice obviously tired.
"Dad" The child who was writing on the small blackboard a moment ago, preparing to win more food, rushed out the next moment, pulled open the door bolt with all hands and feet, and pulled in a face from left to right. Thin, dark man all over his face.
"You" Originally, the man had a smile on his face, but after seeing the tall and burly Hong Tao, his whole body immediately tensed up.??The child stood behind him, his eyes still sweeping to both sides.
"Herdersmeat herdsmen! Iszawi knows you, martial law is imposed on the street, and I will sleep at your house for one night!" You can talk to children without pretending to be so deliberate, but you still can't let your guard down when you meet adults.
"You are, you areMr. Beers! Great, great, I went to Mr. Iszawi's store twice to find you and you are not there Oh, I am a little dirty, wait for me to wash, You sit, you sit Camilla, go pour some water for uncle!"
As soon as the herdsman was mentioned, the man's expression immediately changed from vigilance to surprise. He took two steps and was about to shake hands with Hong Tao. He stretched out his hands before realizing that his hands were all black. He was very embarrassed. Wash with water.
"The herdsmen are not afraid of these things when shepherding sheep every day Good boy, you teach well!" After taking a short photo and without saying a few serious words, Hong Tao dared to conclude that this thin middle-aged man with a little lame leg was an intellectual molecular.
There is no reason or reasoning, just a feeling. In this man, I can see the shadow of my father back then, especially the stubbornness and unwillingness that flashed in his eyes when he was embarrassed. The huge pressure of life can overwhelm him, but he has not surrendered in his heart
There are two things to pay attention to when dealing with this kind of people. The first is not to show mercy; they still have persistence in their bones, and it is a serious insult to pity them with material things. Second, don't show off your wealth, it will make them look down on them from the root.
Of course, all people have vanity, but the position of the vanity is different. Praising people is also an art, as the saying goes, do what you like. This person is currently penniless, and has already reached the bottom, so what are you boasting about? It's easy to boast about the things they find most fulfilling, like education.
Education, it is true that it has a lot to do with material conditions and living environment, but it is not absolute. Being able to educate children well under difficult conditions and in a bad environment is a difficult but worth showing off. These two children are probably the only men in the present who can show off.
"Ahplease sit down, please sit downI'm going to boil some water!" The man simply washed his hands and face, and took an old cotton cloth as a towel to wipe it. Hearing Hong Tao's comment, he froze for a moment, and just as a little bit of joy appeared on his face, it was wiped away by a long sigh.
"Don't drink water Camilla, go to Xiyingmen, buy more wine, vegetables, favorite food!" Hong Tao stopped the man a little arrogantly, and took out ten yuan and handed it to the little girl.
"No, no, we can't, we" Standing together with Hong Tao, the man looked a bit like a child. He was not tall and thin. He wanted to go over to block his daughter, but he was blocked by an arm and couldn't even push twice. After returning from success, it can only be changed to reasoning.
"There is only one sheep left in the herdsman's house, kill it, and invite guests You don't have a sheep, I have, eat mine! I can't sleep on the street, sleep at your house. Go buy, buy more wine!" Unfortunately, he touched When I meet a person who specializes in nonsense, he is especially good at speaking. You haven't even opened your mouth yet, he's finished talking, and it still sounds so reasonable.
"AlasMr. Beers, you gave this to the child last time. We can't take it, it's too expensive" The man was poor and short-lived, and the man endured the meal, and waved at the little girl. The two little guys rushed out immediately. But the matter was not over yet, the man went into the back room and took out a light chocolate-colored plastic bag.
"Herdsman, you can't take it back if you send it away!" This time, Hong Tao didn't even bother to say anything, and he lifted his cloak to reveal the gleaming hatchet inside.
