Chapter 87- 88

Chapter 87 Pasting the Envelope

　　Li Zhenyao only feeds these children two meals a day, only porridge and pickles.

　　Of course, porridge is relatively dry, and there are plenty of servings.

　　For these children who had been starving all year round, it was good enough to eat like this every day. They even suspected that Li Zhenyao had ulterior motives, such as trying to sell them or something.

　　But for them, as long as they can eat enough, it doesn't matter where they stay, so they don't care, and they still stay here.

　　When Mu Qiong said at the beginning that he would let them work, they had a feeling that it was true.

　　Let's just say, how can there be such a good thing as eating and drinking for free in this world? Now it's normal for them to work!

　　But to their surprise, Mu Qiong actually said that as long as they work hard, they can eat meat and eggs.

　　Before they came here, most of them were begging for a living, or they would pick up leftovers that others didn't want. In short, the food was very poor, but now, someone told them that they would eat meat and eggs.

　　The child with curled lips opened his eyes wide in surprise, and there was light in the eyes of those stunned children.

　　Mu Qiong knew that among these children, most of them were "bad children" who would usually sneak around, but even bad children were still children, and if he could teach them well, he would be willing to teach them.

　　Pasting envelopes is not a difficult task, but among these children, there are probably a few who can't do it, such as the very young, or a little silly, but they can do something else.

　　For example, those three- and four-year-old children can help arrange envelopes and pass things. As for those stupid ones...they can survive, not because they are very stupid, and they can help Mama Wu to some extent. Do the work of sweeping the floor and carrying water.

　　"I can't do the job of pasting envelopes, and I won't starve you, but the meat and eggs are gone." Mu Qiong said: "I will teach you how to paste envelopes later, now you go wash your hands first, Wash your face."

　　Mu Qiong originally wanted these children to take a bath, but the weather is not warm enough and they have no change of clothes, so letting them take a bath rashly might make them sick instead, so he didn't mention it.

　　Wait for him to find a way to get some clothes, and then find a sunny day for them to take a bath.

　　When Mu Qiong came, she had asked Mama Wu to boil hot water, and now she took out soap, and asked the children to wash their hands and faces with hot water.

　　Most of these children had never seen soap, and they would use it only after Mu Qiong taught them, and then they started rubbing soap bubbles with surprise on their faces, producing a pile of black muddy water.

　　Mu Qiong put a basin of water on the ground and washed several disabled children. At the same time, he also noticed that these children basically had many wounds on their hands, and those with disabled legs had injuries on one hand and the other. cocoon.

　　After washing, he began to teach them to cut paper: "Today is the first day, I don't ask you to do a good job, as long as you learn how to do it."

　　Cutting paper is a very simple matter, but these children have no concept of size at all, and they can't cut at all. Mu Qiong can only cut out some pieces of paper by himself, and then ask them to draw lines with a pencil and cut them out one by one.
