Chapter 45 Teaching a man to fish is worse than giving him a fish! 【Seek further reading】
New Year’s Eve is coming quietly!
The people of Qingshan County put on lanterns and festoons, showing a rare look of celebration.
The pharmacy also considerately gave a few days off, allowing the handyman apprentices to go home and reunite with their families. Only Wei Han was a little at a loss because he didn't know where to go!
This is the first year since time travel!
In the future, Chinese New Year may be repeated hundreds of millions of times.
But Wei Han couldn't find anyone to spend the New Year with in the prosperous Qingshan County. He just felt that waves of loneliness were coming like a tide, and his heart might be overwhelmed at any time.
"It seems that my mental capacity is still too weak!"
"When the lights of thousands of families are bright, but I stand still and enjoy the loneliness in silence, I am qualified to bear the pain of eternal life."
Wei Han smiled wryly and reflected for a while!
Take the time to clean and arrange the three small yards.
Barely let my little family feel a little bit more old-fashioned.
After declining many invitations from his master and senior brother to persuade him to celebrate the New Year together, he walked out of the small courtyard alone and started shopping on the street.
After a while, Wei Han had a lot of bags in his hands!
There are sweet and delicious caramel, strings of candied haws, fancy wooden toys, and many pastries from West Street Mingguifang.
Buying so many gifts is naturally not for eating by yourself.
Wei Han thought about it and felt that he hadn't adapted to being alone, and it was too uncomfortable to celebrate the New Year alone, so he simply went to the Baishan Hall in the south of the city.
This Baishan Hall is located in the south of the city!
It was purchased and arranged by Xu Youran himself.
Funded by Jufu Restaurant every month, and half of Wei Han's share is shared to help, a charitable hall was formed to take in all homeless old, weak, women, children and orphans!
Since it was built here, Wei Han has never been here!
Today, when I have free time, I came over to have a look in person, only to realize that this shantang is really not small.
Xu Youran directly bought three or four courtyards left by wealthy households in the south of the city.
Although the residential environment is average, the surroundings are clean and tidy. Compared with living on the streets, it is a good place to go.
When Wei Han rushed here, he found Xu Youran and Lu'er were also there.
They were surrounded by a group of children in the yard, and they kept distributing many small gifts. The children cheered and jumped for joy, and there were faint smiles on the faces of the two girls.
"Master Xu, Miss Lu'er, why are you free here today?" Wei Han said cheerfully.
Xu Youran raised her head in surprise, and after realizing it was him, she was surprised: "Why did Mr. Wei come here in person? Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and you are not at home with your family?"
After speaking, Xu Youran realized what was wrong.
She gave an apologetic salute, and said awkwardly: "I'm sorry Mr. Wei, the little girl made a slip of the tongue!"
"It's okay!" Wei Han smiled indifferently: "It's true that there are no relatives at home. It's too deserted to celebrate the New Year alone, so I just came over to have a look."
As he spoke, Wei Han distributed gifts to the children!
It also caused a burst of cheers from these children.
It was only then that he noticed that most of the children here were under the age of ten, and many of them were disabled. Although the clothes were well-washed, they couldn't hide their color and thinness.
"Last time when the government expelled the disaster victims, there were too many orphans, old and weak, left behind. Miss couldn't bear to ignore them, so she took them all." Seeing this, Lu'er explained casually: "Now there are 371 orphans in our Baishan Hall. There are 243 weak women and children, all of whom are unable to take care of themselves."
"It's also thanks to the fact that our restaurant has a lot of leftovers every day, and the children are sensible and willing to help, so we can barely maintain it."
"Next, the lady is planning to invite the private school teacher to come over to educate the children. This is another big expense."
Wei Han nodded in understanding.
Opening a philanthropic hall is indeed not as good as giving out porridge, and its cost can be much higher.
Normally, hundreds of people are supported, and the monthly rent expenses, daily food, clothing, housing and transportation have to be poured into running water, and ordinary people can't bear it.
"Do what you can!" Wei Han said with emotion: "If it weren't for the kind-hearted person like shopkeeper Xu, the children would not have the chance to survive. You have immeasurable merit."
"If you want to say that your merits are immeasurable, it has to be you, Mr. Wei!" Xu Youran chuckled and said, "Don't forget that I spend half of my monthly share here, but Mr. Wei, don't worry. The initial cost is higher, and then it will be much better."
"Just do your best to obey the fate." Wei Han suggested with great interest: "Today is just free, why not let me cook the New Year's Eve dinner."
"Okay, Mr. Wei's culinary skills have been missed by the little girl for a long time." Xu Youran laughed expectantly.
Wei Han began to greet more than a dozen older orphans, and they got busy together!
The food in Baishantang is actually very ordinary. Every day, it is either leftovers from restaurants, or some porridge and steamed buns.
It’s Chinese New Year, Wei Han wants everyone to eat better.
Specially bought four fans of pork, and made a few more fans of beef and mutton.
Then boiled four large pots and directly stewed rice.
Stir the stewed pork chops on the rice, and directly make the fragrant pork steak bibimbap. The soaring aroma made the children in Baishantang all excited eyes shine.
"Oh my God, it smells so good! I've never smelled such a delicious food."
"What kind of skill is this? Big brother is too good, right?"
"It's delicious, it's really delicious, woo woo woo!"
Everyone in Baishantang was very satisfied with this New Year's Eve dinner.
Even Xu Youran and Lu'er didn't go home, but had a casual meal here.
The atmosphere during the banquet was warm, and everyone seemed to have found a home here. Frightened and lonely hearts huddled together to keep warm, and regarded each other as family members.
After a meal, Wei Han gradually became familiar with the orphans.
He played games with the children and washed pots and pans together.
He even taught them martial arts in the end.
"Teaching a man to fish is worse than teaching him how to fish!" Wei Han looked at these ignorant children, and said patiently, "Miss Xu kindly adopted you, but she can't support you for the rest of her life. In the future, she will ask the teacher to let you know You can read and write, and I will teach you a set of boxing techniques!"
"If you can make a name for yourself, it will not be too difficult for you to support yourself in the future. This boxing method is called "Tiger Roaring Bafang Jue", which is about tigers roaring in the mountains and forests. The mind walks freely, and the punches are like the wind! Imitating the walking of a tiger, the joints shake and exert force, advancing layer by layer!"
"It can exercise the muscles of the whole body, stimulate your potential, and lay a solid foundation for the future of martial arts. You can practice three or five times a day in the early stage, and you must not practice more. Do you understand?"
While Wei Han was explaining, he was tossing and turning, his fists and feet roaring!
This "Tiger Roaring Bafang Jue" is the best and most suitable for teaching among the many strength-training exercises he has laid the foundation for. With his extreme level of perception, it is definitely a hundred times better than ordinary martial arts instructors.
The children know that practicing martial arts can change their destiny even when they are ignorant.
Following the practice jerkyly one by one, in Nuo Da's Baishan Hall, there were bursts of fists, kicks and shouts.
"Mr. Wei is really a wonderful person!"
Xu Youran stared at this scene with burning eyes, and there was some inexplicable color in her eyes.
