Mingkun with caring words, let little Arnold face smile, gradually disappeared, a pair of big eyes also quickly gathered tears.
Holding the candy hand, he lowered his head and answered in a low voice, "brother My brother has gone to heaven. "
In a word, let Mingkun and Yan Xiaoshu's heart, with dignified.
"Mom, mom's sick. She's lying at home and can't get out of bed."
What happened?
Mingkun just frowned, then understood, the little guy said the disease, is how one thing.
Little Arnold's mother has been suffering from AIDS for many years, and her physical condition is very bad. But for the sake of her two children, she still insists on going out to do odd jobs every day, earning a meager salary, and living expenses as a family.
Now little Arnold's brother died and his mother was sick in bed. Even if the family lost their source of livelihood, no wonder they will see little Arnold here. He is looking for food in the garbage!
Aware of this, Mingkun is busy talking to little Arnold.
"Will you take your teacher and sister home to see your mother?"
Little Arnold nodded cleverly and showed them the way ahead.
Yan Xiaoshu doesn't know the situation of little Arnold's family. On the way, she asks Mingkun in a low voice if little Arnold's ears are congenital malformation.
Mingkun just told Yan Xiaoshu about little Arnold's ear.
By his own brother, because of hunger, eat most of the ears, this kind of thing before, Yan Xiaoshu is really unheard of.
Looking at the child's dirty appearance, she only felt more uncomfortable at the bottom of her heart.
Such a lovely little boy, at his age, should have enjoyed a carefree life, but he can only live for the sake of it.
little Arnold's home is no better than the trusteeship station. It's a small, narrow shed made of iron sheet.
As soon as he opened the door, a bad smell came. It was a mixture of excrement and rotten smell. If he didn't bear it, Yan Xiaoshu would almost spit it out.
Holding her breath, she followed Mingkun into the room.
At the door, there is a table, which is full of pots and pans, and some sundries. It should be the place for the little Arnold family to eat and cook.
Inside, there is a big bed, which is only one meter and five wide. There is a thin woman lying on the bed. This is little Arnold's mother.
See someone came, the woman struggled to get up from the bed, small Arnold busy sensible forward, holding the woman against the head of the bed to sit down.
At this time, Yan Xiaoshu saw the situation of women.
Her face is very haggard, and she is even thinner. The most penetrating thing is that blisters of different sizes can be seen everywhere on her skin, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
"Mr. Mingkun, and this young lady, thank you for coming to see me, but now I'm sick and I'm like this..."
The woman's eyes were full of tears. "Go away, I'm afraid it will infect you..."
In this situation, I'm afraid that no one will feel uncomfortable when I hear a woman like this.
Mingkun busy mouth appease, told her that the main route of transmission of AIDS is blood, as long as there is no blood contact, they will not be infected.
Repeatedly stressed, the woman just a little relaxed, but still want to Mingkun and Yan Xiaoshu, and keep away from themselves.
Little Arnold has been busy in the room. First, he stuffed the candy Ming Kun gave him to his mother. Then he went to the bed, picked up the old iron basin and went out.
When passing by Yan Xiaoshu's side, she glanced at it and almost didn't spit it out.
I saw that there was half a basin of excrement in the basin. No wonder the smell in the room was so bad.
"Ah I know I don't have much time. After Arnold's father grew these blisters, he left less than a month later. "
The woman looked at the figure that little Arnold went out with a basin in her arms. Her voice choked, "I'm not afraid of death. Since I knew that I had this disease, I knew that I would not live long. I just can't rest assured that Arnold..."
Father died, brother also left, now even the only mother, also faced death, after the little Arnold, is really lonely.
"Arnold is very sensible. I heard from Mr. Tang that he studies very hard. He hopes to get out of here and live a normal life in the future..."
She was smiling, but her tears rolled down one by one.
"So, I always try my best to make money as much as I can, so that even if one day I'm gone, little Arnold can continue to live, but I didn't expect..."
Later, the woman didn't go on, but Mingkun and Yan Xiaoshu could see it.
She looks like this, has not a few days to live, little Arnold is so small, the only brother is not there, she left again, only little Arnold alone, how can she rest assured.Mingkun and Yan Xiaoshu didn't know how to comfort her. They just described the idea of the medical base with her, and promised to put the preparation of the trusteeship station and school on the agenda again.
The look on a woman's face is much more stable. If it wasn't for her poor health, she would almost get up and kowtow to thank her
When they came, Yan Xiaoshu and Mingkun bought many snacks and candy for the children. Seeing the situation of little Arnold's family, they left all the food to them. They also took some money and gave it to the women. She is ill and can't go out to work, and little Arnold is still young, so they can't eat the food from the garbage all the time
In this way, when I came out of Arnold's house, it was already dark.
Both of them were not in a good mood, and it was not safe in the slums after dark, so they decided to go back to school first.
Along the way from little Arnold's home, they were almost speechless. They were still immersed in what they had just seen in little Arnold, with a heavy heart.
"Mingkun, what were the difficulties you encountered when you ran the trusteeship station before?"
Cold not Ding, Yan Xiaoshu suddenly open mouth, ask such a sentence.
"They were professional nurses. At that time, the students of the volunteer group had little experience in looking after children..."
Mingkun half answered, suddenly thought of something, "wait a minute, Xiaoshu, we have to take our time, the problems of the clinic have not been solved, now take the trusteeship station into account, it will only cause trouble to our progress."
Although Mingkun didn't elaborate, Yan Xiaoshu knew from the bottom of his heart that labor, capital and government support were the problems they would face, but
"We promised little Arnold's mother, we must do it, I will find a way."
