Last summer, a familiar and unfamiliar guest came to the home of Deng Yinghui, the director of Aiyou Ansheng Children's Affairs, and this was the first time that Zhou Zhou (pseudonym) took the initiative to knock on the door of Deng Yinghui's home. Zhou Zhou's eyes were red, as if he had just cried, slightly skimming his mouth, still clutching a piece of paper in his hand, aggrieved and timid, "Teacher Deng, I want to go to the 'best' middle school... Can you help me? Zhou Zhou brought over a cram school registration form, "I want to go to cram school in the summer, but my father he..." Deng Ying would hug her, "Don't be afraid, I will help you tell your father." ”
Deng Yinghui found Zhou Zhou's father alone and told him about the child's wish. Zhou Zhou's father said with embarrassment, "You also know the situation of our family, if the economy is rich, I am certainly willing to provide for her..." After Two or three hours of patient persuasion, Zhou Zhou's father finally nodded his head gently, frowned slightly and said to Deng Yinghui, "I still have to help you take care of Zhou Zhou, we don't know how to sign up and tutor these, I hope she can really study hard." ”
Today's protagonist - Zhou Zhou
When they first met, she was still a "clueless" child in her grandmother's mouth
When Deng Yinghui first came to Zhou Zhou's home, she was in the fourth grade of primary school. On Monday, the family of six people, but after her mother ran away from home, she and her brother lived with her father, grandfather, and grandmother, because grandpa and dad had limited mobility and could not do too much farm work, so the family's farm work and housework were almost all undertaken by grandma alone.
At that time, the Zhou Zhou family was still living in a dilapidated old house, the walls and floor were always black, and the dishes and chopsticks that Grandma did not have time to wash were always piled up in the pot, and it was easy to attract flies in the summer. As soon as he entered the door of Zhou Zhou's house, Deng Ying would hear the nagging of his grandparents. Grandma carried a full of pig food to feed the pigs, and said that the children often did not do housework, and were always playful and ignorant.
Zhou Zhou's old house
Deng Ying would call Zhou Zhou, who was standing on the side, to help Grandma feed the pigs together, and while feeding, she quietly said to Zhou Zhou, "You see, Grandma is old, she can't stand up straight when feeding pigs, she always says that you don't do housework, because she and Grandpa really can't do it, you and your brother have grown up, but you need more help." ”
Back home, Zhou Zhou sat alone in the corner of the wall silently without speaking, and waited until Deng Ying would sit with her, and finally said softly with tears, "I envy other people to have mothers, where has my mother gone..." In the three years when her mother ran away from home, although Zhou Zhou rarely mentioned it, the blank space left by the absence of maternal love always existed in her heart and was reflected in her life. At the age when other children are still flirting with their mothers, she already needs to learn to cook, do housework, take care of her brother, and learn to be "sensible" and independent in advance. But who will teach her this?
Listening to Zhou Zhou's grandmother, after the child's mother ran away, the father often had little contact with the family outside, and the family's large and small affairs all depended on the grandparents, and many times they could not take care of the children's learning and feelings when they were busy.
Since then, Deng Yinghui will basically take Zhou Zhou to do housework with her every home visit, teaching her some simple housework skills and common sense of health and hygiene, such as washing dishes and chopsticks as soon as possible, covering leftovers and putting them in a cool place, helping Grandma fold and wash clean clothes, and so on. They will also tell her, "Grandparents love you, but the way they love you is different, they hope that you will do all the things they always say about you, and they will become better big girls in the future." ”
For 4 years, Deng Yinghui taught Zhou Zhou to do various housework
Deng Ying will go more often, and zhou zhou's changes have slowly increased, not only paying more and more attention to personal hygiene, but also beginning to take the initiative to help grandma clean up the things at home. Once, Zhou Zhou's grandmother happily told Deng Yinghui that Zhou Zhou had just seen water in the dam in front of his house, so he took the initiative to sweep the dirty water into the ditch, and when he came back, he also cleaned up the melon seed shells that his brother had put on the table. In addition to housework, Zhou Zhou now not only consciously finishes his homework after school, but also helps his brother check his homework.
Zhou Zhou tutored his brother with his homework
In the summer of 2020, Zhou Zhou's family moved into a new house built by the government, and Zhou Zhou agreed with Deng Yinghui that she would clean up and tidy up the house more in the future, ensuring that every time Deng Yinghui came over, she would see a neat and clean house.
After moving into the new home, Zhou Zhou took on most of the housework
Reaching out to more people, she really grew up
Zhou Zhou's grades have always been good, but her personality has always been a little withdrawn and shy, and she is particularly eager to make friends. So sometimes, she would let Deng Ying accompany her and her friends to play games, and the ideas that made her classmates happy were all her ideas.
Deng Ying will decide to take Zhou Zhou to know more people, so sometimes when she visits the homes of other children, she will also take her with her and let her try to make friends on her own initiative. Zhou Zhou also saw some children with more difficult conditions than her own home, she told Deng Yinghui, after seeing those children, she felt that she was actually like a "little princess", with grandparents caring for care, and brothers growing up together, "I have to learn every course well, grow up to repay all the people who are good to me." ”
Zhou Zhou and Deng Yinghui will go on the way to visit their home together
Deng Ying would tell Zhou Zhou that she was not a lonely child, and that many people cared about her and loved her. Every time the living materials provided by the Aiyou Ansheng Project are delivered to Zhou Zhou's home, she will tell Zhou Zhou that these are the care and help, hope and support of others for you, remember that there are always people in you, but also be grateful, and use these materials reasonably can not be wasted.
Before the start of this semester, Zhou Zhou received a study bag from Deng Yinghui, and a few days later, Zhou Zhou made a phone call to Deng Yinghui to tell her about the recent situation after the start of school, and she said to Deng Yinghui on the phone: "I was unlucky, and I had to face loneliness and economic difficulties in my childhood. Every time I receive love from you, I feel some warmth and feel less alone. I will study and grow up hard, and use actions to let you see that my efforts are not empty words, and I will live up to everyone's expectations of me. ”
Receiving a study pack is a particularly happy week of weeks
