In a word, to the heart.
Tang can't help but think of his parents in the imperial capital.
Bernie is young and knows how to make money so that his mother can live a good life. What about himself?
In the past 20 years, her parents have given everything they have and left the best things to her. They are tolerant and indulgent to her. However, when her parents grow old year by year, they not only don't give back to them, but also make them worry about themselves.
She is not a person who often contacts with her parents. In the past few months when she comes to country B, she can't even make a phone call once a month. She is too busy, and her time is occupied by her study and the work of the volunteer group. When she returns to her residence every day, she hates to lie in bed, not to move, let alone call her parents.
At this moment, little Bernie's words made her miss her parents far away. Can take out the mobile phone, at 10 pm, and B country has five time difference emperor capital, this moment should be early in the morning, now call in the past, obviously is unrealistic.
She put her cell phone away again.
Just then, little Bernie opened his mouth.
"Big sister, what's this?"
Tang wanwan was stunned and looked down to see the mobile phone in his hand.
"It's a cell phone. It's an electrical appliance for contacting relatives and friends."
Little Bernie is obviously very interested in mobile phones, a pair of grape like eyes, blinking, "really amazing."
In the small living room of little Bernie's family, except for the overhead chandelier, there are no electrical appliances at all. It's not surprising that little Bernie has never seen a mobile phone.
Seeing that the child is interested in mobile phones, Tang wanwan generously reaches out his hand and delivers the mobile phone to little Bernie, unties the screen saver and shows him the usage of the mobile phone.
"If the person you want to contact also has such a mobile phone, enter her number here, and then dial out, the other person's mobile phone will ring, she hears it, pick it up, and you can have a conversation."
"Can we talk without being in front of us?"
All the children's eyes were shining.
"Yes, you can talk without being in front of you."
Little Bernie's eyes were full of envy and love, but he didn't reach out to touch it. His mouth was slightly open and he sighed softly.
"That's good."
At this time, the woman on one side came to interrupt.
"Well, well, it's late. If you're full, help your mother clean up the room for Mr. Tang."
Little Bernie was very obedient, nodded, got up, left the living room and went to clean up Tang wanwan's room.
The woman didn't immediately follow. Instead, she turned around and spoke to Tang wanwan.
"We have poor conditions here. I hope you don't give up."
"Why, I'd like to thank you for taking me in for the night."
Then Tang wanwan got up and wanted to help.
Although he had already made preparations at the bottom of his heart, when he really came to the room for her, Tang wanwan's heart still trembled.
I thought the living room was simple enough, but compared with this bedroom, it is much better. I don't know how many times.
The house is also square, but because of disrepair, the walls and floors are extremely dilapidated, which is not the point. The most important thing is that there is no electric light in this room!
With the dim light from the kerosene lamp in little Bernie's hand, we can see some scenes in the room.
On a wooden bed, there is a thin mattress, on which a quilt is neatly stacked. The quilt is full of patches. Near the head of the bed, a cylindrical cloth product made of rags should be a pillow.
The scope of kerosene lamp is limited. Except for this bed, you can only see two big black boxes stacked beside the bed.
It's no different from the scenes in the horror movies I used to watch at home. I think I'm going to sleep in a room for a night
Tang wanwan was a little nervous.
After hearing the woman's introduction, Tang wanwan realized that this room is the place where the woman and little Bernie usually sleep, and also the only bedroom in their family. In order to entertain Tang wanwan, the two women left her bedroom, and they went to the living room for one night.
But for Tang wanwan, if she had to choose between the living room and the bedroom, she would prefer to sleep in the living room!
At least there is an electric light. If it is convenient to get up in the middle of the night, it will not be so dark.
After expressing herself with the woman, the woman hesitated for a moment, and then told little Bernie.
"Go and help Mr. Tang spread the sofa."
Smell speech, small Bernie obediently put down the kerosene lamp, hold up the quilt, go to the living room.
In the light of the kerosene lamp, Tang wanwan saw that there was only a thin layer of straw left on the bed where the mattress was lifted. The dirty and black mattress was the only thing that could be put under the body of mother and son!It was also at this time that she suddenly realized how much harm she had just done to the woman and Bernie.
"No, there are cushions on the sofa. I can sleep like that."
Tang wanwan was busy in blocking, but she insisted.
Finally, they each stepped back and brought the mattress to the woman and Bernie, while the quilt was left to Tang wanwan.
Lying on the sofa in the living room, Tang stayed up almost all night.
She had never seen such a dark night. She could not see her fingers. She was very quiet and could hardly hear a sound.
I didn't notice it before. Now I feel the wind. I find that the door is short of edges and corners. From time to time, the wind will squeeze in from the gap of the door. If I cover the quilt, I still feel cold. No wonder the woman insists on giving herself the quilt.
She couldn't help thinking that the woman and little Bernie would feel cold, too?
If you can't sleep, you start to think in your head.
It's not wishful thinking. All night long, she was seriously thinking about what she should do to help these poor people.
It's easy to take little Bernie to the slums for classes, but there are many people suffering from poverty in country B and around the capital of the country, except for the little Bernie family.
She helped one, she helped two, but ten, eight, hundreds?
She has to think of a way to help as many people as possible.
She thought over and over, the more she thought about it, the more energetic she was, the more excited she was. But when she thought about how to achieve it, she could not help but become depressed. In this way, she could not sleep until there was light in the room and the sky was white.
