Looking at Wendell's calm and sincere expression, as well as the flash of vicissitudes and self-deprecation in his eyes, Helen felt for a mument as if she had followed Wendell back to her childhreat, clearly and incomparably feeling the blank stares and humiliation that Wendell had suffered throughout his childhreat, the feeling of being isolated from the whole world, making Helen's heart ache. .
What a teenager this is!
He had a bitter experience that the vast majority of people his age did not have, and had been subjected to a lot of white eyes since he was a child, but looking at his expression now, it was very calm, as if none of this had happened to him.
And more importantly, this youngster knew how to repay his kindness, and even his own kind of concern based on his teacher's concern for his students was secretly remembered by him and was grateful enough to give himself full trust. This is undoubtedly the best reward already!
However, to be able to have such a mentality, to have such a grateful attitude towards people, what kind of hardships had this teenager in front of him, who was a little taller than himself, endured?
For a mument, Helen only felt her nose sour, as if there was a big stone pressing down on her chest, which was very uncomfortable.
Seeing Helen's expression, Wendell, however, frowned and said, "Teacher Helen, I'm not telling you this to illustrate anything, it's just that for your concern, I'm very grateful. Really!"
Wendell said this, just wanting to express his gratitude to Helen, but this did not mean that he needed other people's sympathy and pity, today's Wendell did not need anyone's pity, he had the ability and confidence that he would step by step walk to a height that others could not reach, but could only look up to!
Helen was stunned, then hurriedly said, "Wendell, you misunderstreat, as a teacher, or as a sister, I am very painful for what you have suffered, but I have no other thoughts, much less sympathy for you, do you understand?"
"That's great!" Wendell smiled slightly and returned to his previous spontaneity, laughing, "So Sister Helen, that money will just be left with you, when I need it sometime, what do you think?"
"Wendell, this isn't impossible! Just…… money and things like that, it's better for you to keep it by yourself, not that sister is too much trouble, this is a kind of attitude towards money, many people may very well just for a few hundred dollars or even a few dollars, originally close friends will gradually alienate, so in terms of treating money, the attitude must be put right, do you understand what I mean? "
The first thing you need to do is to get rid of the problem.
The first thing you need to do is to get a great idea of what you are doing. But……"
Speaking here, his face showed a look of distress, "But I don't know what to do with this money! Sister Helen, I'm not afraid of you laughing, if I take the risk of taking this money home, I'm afraid my mother's heart will not be able to bear it, our family has not seen so much money all these years, and I don't have a bank card myself……"
Helen suddenly smiled with understanding and said, "So it's like this, then sister will hold it for you first, you can take it back whenever you want!"
"Thank you Sister Helen!" Wendell immediately said thankfully, "By the way, Sister Helen, there is no place in our family that needs to use so much money except for my schooling, if Sister Helen is useful, she can just take it and use it without telling me!"
"Don't worry, little one, sister has enough money to use!" Seeing that Wendell just wanted to explain, she suddenly laughed, "If you say more, you can be a bit suspicious of bribing the teacher!"
Wendell could only nod with a bitter smile, "Sister Helen, can't I stop saying it!"
The of them could not help but laugh, and unknowingly, the distance between the was closer.
Wendell did not know that Helen's heart was filled with emotion, what had Wendell experienced to make him have a mature mentality far beyond his age?
You know, if it was another person of his age who suddenly got such a sum of money, a person of great character would definitely be very happy to take the money home and let his parents know that he could earn money too, or buy gifts for his parents and relatives to make them happy. Those with bad character, on the other hand, would probably just squander it and waste it, or do something else bad with the money.
But I'm afraid that few people would be like Wendell, after getting the money, surprisingly thinking about the situation at home first, and even directly standing in his mother's shoes, to worry whether she could bear the sudden surprise, such a mature mentality, how could it be a high school student, even many college students, definitely much more childish than this!
"It seems that if I want to know what Wendell has gone through, I need to make a home visit……" Helen secretly mused.
Wendell sent Helen back to school, on this way, both of them did not bring up the topic of family or money again, but sat on the bus by Wendell from time to time to introduce Helen to the various buildings and locations in the county where they came from, and soon they also arrived at school.
Looking at Wendell's distant back, Helen, who was standing at the entrance of the school, streat for a long time. Although she did not say much on this journey, she was able to feel that Wendell, in addition to having a bland and great mind, had a heart that strives for advancement and dares to fight, which is a vigorous and proud bone that is still self-improving in the midst of adversity.
Helen recalled a saying, "Adversity produces talent!" .
What comes out of adversity is not talent, but a heart that pursues advancement and strives for improvement, a fighting spirit that never gives up and is stubborn and unyielding!
With such a heart and such a fighting spirit, anyone can become a talent!
Helen suddenly thought of the incident of this afternoon's lottery again. According to reason, how could a steady mind like Wendell's be boldly striving on that uninsured lottery?
It was easy to surmise from Wendell's words that his family situation was not wealthy, which made it even stranger.
Could it be that Wendell was really aroused by Mark before his blreat boiled over and he let go of everything in a reckless manner? This was not how a mature mind should behave.
Thinking back carefully, the Wendell at that time seemed as steady as a mountain, as if everything was under control, and it really turned out that Wendell made a big profit, was this really a coincidence?
Helen found for a mument that she was even more impervious to this teenager, who was several years younger than herself, and the curiosity in her heart grew even stronger, and she became even more interested in Wendell!
"When I find time, I must go to Wendell's home for a home visit!" Helen muttered to herself.
To be continued....
