Chapter 1673: Orphan 5
There have been many natural disasters in recent years, and many people have starved to death, so there are many orphans.
There are also many families who are short on food rations and choose to abandon their children.
Generally speaking, it is girls who are abandoned. In the eyes of people of this era, girls are losers. If they marry into someone else’s family in the future, they will belong to someone else’s family, so staying at home is purely a waste of food.
But male dolls are different. In the future, they will be able to pass on the lineage and support their parents. Even if the family is already hungry, generally speaking, male dolls will not be lost, only female dolls will be lost.
Therefore, most of the temples are still female dolls.
Of the twelve or three children in total, there are only three or four male dolls, and the rest are all female dolls.
These children, like the previous little girls, wore tattered and thin clothes and looked thin. It seemed that they were caused by long-term lack of food.
These children are only eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest are only two or three years old. They have not learned to walk for a long time.
In the winter, these children not only have no clothes to wear, but also no decent quilt covers. Some straw was spread on the ground, and some newspapers and sacks were put on it, which was regarded as a quilt cover.
There were two pots on the ground in the broken temple, and several pairs of broken bowls and chopsticks, which were probably used to burn the food after getting the food.
Although it is tattered, it can still be eaten hot.
Next to it was the firewood that was picked up. Seeing a few people from Zhao Xiulan coming over, the children in the temple all looked towards them.
"Wang Aihong, who did you bring here? Are there any relatives in your family?" asked the oldest looking girl in the broken temple.
This child is called Da Niu Zhang, and she is also a hard worker.
Seeing Wang Aihong bringing people over, she thought it was her relatives.
If it is a relative of Wang Aihong's family, Wang Aihong can be adopted back, and she will not have to be displaced outside and become an orphan in the future, she is naturally envious.
These children are not getting enough to eat, drink, and clothe themselves here. They are living in darkness in this temple, and they don't know when they will be able to get through it.
Now what they are looking forward to most in their hearts is that a good family is willing to adopt them, so that they will no longer have to live a life of displacement.
But in these days, it is too difficult to find a good family who is willing to raise them, especially girls, basically no one will adopt them.
Originally, there was not enough food in my own family, so how could I raise other people's girls?
Boys are better. Those who don't have boys will choose to adopt them.
Among these orphans, there were several male dolls in the beginning, but they were basically adopted and left, so now most of them are girls.
The female doll who brought Zhao Xiulan over, namely Wang Aihong, shook her head and replied, "It's not my relatives, but the kind-hearted brothers and sisters I met in the state-run hotel. They said they wanted to come and see my brothers and sisters."
Zhang Da Niu nodded, "So that's the case, that's really a good person."
In this day and age, it is not easy to meet good-hearted people.
Sometimes, even if others have this kindness, but the conditions at home are not good, they can't help you.
If I can't eat enough for my own family, how can I still help others.
Just like when they go to beg for food, the chances of getting it are still very small.
That's why they often go hungry and have nothing to eat, so they go outside the city to get some bark and roots back to eat.
