Traveling through 1942 with space

Chapter 196 Inspection of Yuying Hall

There are now more than 5,000 people in Yuying Hall. On average, the daily food expenses for each child cost 20 cents. Adding the expenses of clothing and schooling, it costs at least 50,000 yuan per month. This is the biggest expenditure of the Yanhuang League.

The expenses were even higher in the first month or so, and the cost of treating these children exceeded 80,000 yuan.

Many disciples and gang members thought that this was too uneconomical. They could earn three or four hundred thousand dollars a year for free, which was enough to support an armed group.

However, Hou Xiaoge suppressed all the dissenting voices, and the leaders who said these words were assigned to ordinary positions.

Because he is the only one who knows what these children can bring to the Yanhuang Alliance in the future. Although the top management will not be replaced, it will bring great changes to the overall structure.

Moreover, according to his plan, once there are promising students among these children, they will be sent to study around the world just like the international students of the previous dynasty.

However, Hou Xiaoge does not want to be a dictator. When the Yanhuang League gets back on track in the future and he no longer supplies funds, the funds provided to Yuyingtang every year will be an astronomical figure, which will damage the interests of many gang members.

So when Xiaoge was attending a meeting at the headquarters some time ago, he said that half of the funds for Yuyingtang would be provided by himself, and the gang only needed to be responsible for the other half.

All the halls agreed with this point.

After all, most of them were refugees and poor people, and one of the purposes of the Yanhuang Alliance was to save the world and the people and revive Yanhuang.

At the same time, this is also the last red part in the gang. If it is lost, the Yanhuang League will become a real black society.

Hou Xiaoge stood outside the cave, looking at the children with clean faces, wearing new cotton-padded clothes, and reading aloud with vigor, and she was very happy.

At this moment, Hou Xiaoge told himself that no matter what the future holds, at least what he is doing now is in line with his three views on life.

"Wenjun, what are the arrangements for the New Year in Yuying Hall?" Hou Xiaoge asked when he came to the cafeteria to check.

"The unmarried people in Wenshu Hall will come over to celebrate the New Year with the children, and there will be performances on New Year's Eve." Wenjun knew that Hou Xiaoge attached great importance to Yuying Hall, so he came here very often.

"Wenjun, you did a great job. We Chinese attach great importance to festivals. As the saying goes, every festival makes us miss our loved ones even more.

So during the holidays, we adults should pay more attention to these homeless children. Everyone in the Yanhuang Alliance is their family.

I will be going back to America tomorrow night to celebrate the New Year and will not be able to come to see these children. Please talk to them then.

This is 5,000 yuan in Guanjin coupons. You can exchange them for change and make red envelopes. I will treat the children to meat and egg dumplings this afternoon, so I will give the red envelopes to them in advance.

By the way, this money is also counted as yours, let's pack it in double." Hou Xiaoge patted Wenjun on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Ok!"

Wenjun's face turned red and he nodded shyly.

On the way back, looking at Wenjun following him in small steps, Hou Xiaoge smiled bitterly and shook his head.

How could Hou Xiaoge not know what Wenjun was thinking, but his body was only ten years old and still needed to develop, so it was still too early.

However, Hou Xiaoge has already decided on Wen Jun, and he can only be his own man. After all, he must have a real person of his own in the alliance.

Of course, it doesn't matter for a 19-year-old girl to wait for a few years. There will always be an explanation. Giving a red envelope is an affirmation from Hou Xiaoge.

Because giving out red envelopes and eating dumplings were decided at the last minute, time was very tight.

At noon, except for those who stayed behind in the Wenshu Hall for necessary work, more than 200 people went to the Yuying Hall to lead the children in giving red envelopes together.

Making your own red envelope gives you a sense of anticipation and participation.

However, the dumplings for more than 5,000 people were so busy that Hou Xiaoge could even hear the complaining voice of the cook near the cafeteria.

However, there were quite a few helpers in the Yuyingtang cafeteria, more than a hundred people. They all worked together to make dumplings, and finally finished the work at around four o'clock in the afternoon.

It is naturally impossible to have such a large restaurant to accommodate more than 5,000 people for dinner. Usually, the classroom is used as the restaurant.

The leader of the alliance came to see us today and treated us to a meal, which we naturally ate in the playground.

The children were given a day off in the afternoon and all came to the playground with their benches to wait.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the children in the twenty-acre playground sat upright on the benches, holding their bowls and chopsticks, looking up, waiting for their beloved principal.

Hou Xiaoge did not procrastinate like the school leaders of later generations, and arrived on time with the leaders of Wenshu Hall and Yuying Hall.

"Happy New Year, kids!" Hou Xiaoge stood on the stage and waved to the children below into the loudspeaker.

"Hello, Principal Uncle!" The little ones stood up one by one and shouted in unison. It seemed that they had received good training.

"It's the end of the year now, and the principal is quite busy, so he can only come to see you earlier.

I would like to apologize to everyone today and treat everyone to a meal of meat, egg and dumplings. On New Year's Eve, Aunt Wenjun will represent my uncle and celebrate the New Year with you.

Okay, no more small talk, let's eat." Hou Xiaoge smiled and apologized to the children.

Because we are outdoors, the meat and egg dumplings are in soup, which makes them easier to prepare, otherwise they will all become a mess.

The auntie who served the food carried a big bucket and gave each child twenty dumplings and filled it with the expensive sour leek soup.

The children used the benches as tables and lay on them to eat ravenously.

While the little ones were eating, Hou Xiaoge came over with the leader of Yuyingtang carrying red envelopes.

Hou Xiaoge touched a six-year-old kid whose snot was about to flow into the bowl, then took out a piece of toilet paper from his pocket to wipe the kid's snot.

"Come here, little guy, I'll give you a New Year's red envelope!"

"Thank you, Uncle Principal!"

"Well! Eat well and grow up quickly." Hou Xiaoge touched the little guy's head and then went on to the next one.

"Here, take the red envelope and go to the canteen to buy snacks."

"Happy New Year, little one."

……

Of course, it was impossible for Hou Xiaoge to send out the red envelopes alone; everyone from Wenshu Hall and Yuying Hall sent them out together.

However, Hou Xiaoge still walked around the playground of more than 20 acres so that he could have direct contact with the children.

After distributing the red envelopes, it was almost dark. Hou Xiaoge stood at the entrance of the playground and arranged for people to ask the children to carry their benches back to the classroom one by one.

"Oh! I finally settled these little guys down." Hou Xiaoge breathed a sigh of relief after all the children went back.

"Alliance leader, you are so kind to these children. I am ashamed of myself!" An old scholar who is in charge of teaching at Yuying Hall said with emotion.

“Most of these children are orphans, lack parental love, and are very sensitive psychologically.

We naturally cannot treat these children the same way we treat our own children. We need to think carefully before we speak to them, otherwise we may easily hurt them.

The canteen of Yuyingtang must always be stocked with goods. Every child’s red envelope is his or her own. If I find out that anyone embezzles money, he or she will be severely punished.

"Give each child three cents of pocket money every seven days so that they can have a complete childhood," Hou Xiaoge instructed.

"I understand, Leader." Wen Jun nodded and asked someone to take note of it.
