The reception room of the welfare home is very simple, with only a few common tables and chairs.

The white walls on both sides were covered with all kinds of certificates and awards, and Shi Jing even saw Fang Ning's name among them.

She stood in front of the wall of awards, looking at all the awards on it. Fang Ning had a lot of awards from elementary and middle school, which filled a small row.

Fang Ning blushed and followed beside her, watching her stare at the wall, unsure whether to speak.

Dean Fang poured a glass of water and, seeing Shi Jing looking at the wall, smiled and introduced, "These are all the end-of-term award certificates for the children in the orphanage. Come, sit down and have some water."

Fang Ning spoke up at this moment: "Shi Jing, come, come sit down."

When Shi Jing saw the water that Dean Fang poured for her, she quickly thanked him.

"Thank you, Dean Fang."

She thanked him and then looked at Fang Ning: "Please sit down, Fang Ning. It's been a long time."

The three of them sat down, and then Dean Fang asked Shi Jing, "This young lady isn't from our Nuoyuan City, is she?"

"Dean Fang, you can just call me Shi Jing. I'm from J Province, and I'm currently on summer vacation so I'm traveling."

Dean Fang nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Did you come with your family? Do you have a place to stay?"

Shi Jing understood; he was worried about her traveling alone.

"Don't worry, I've already booked a hotel and made all the arrangements before coming here."

Dean Fang was not at ease. It was quite audacious of her family to send a minor girl on a trip alone.

"Shi Jing, do your family know you're here? Your parents will probably criticize you for buying so much stuff."

Shi Jing laughed and said, "No, I use my own pocket money to buy things, they don't care."

Dean Fang remained uneasy. The things Shi Jing had brought today probably cost tens of thousands of yuan. What kind of family could allow their underage children to spend so extravagantly?

Shi Jing hadn't yet discerned Director Fang's thoughts; she was still preoccupied with the donation: "Director Fang, I'd like to donate some pocket money to the welfare home. Through what channels should I donate?"

Since she wanted to make a donation, Shi Jing had naturally checked, but she couldn't find the designated donation account. One of the purposes of coming to inquire about this matter was to ask about it.

Dean Fang was taken aback when he heard this, and then quickly said, "No need, you are still a child yourself, how can you donate money to us?" As he spoke, he thought of the supplies that had just been donated. These things could not be returned, so he added, "And those things that were donated today, if your parents ask about them, you must tell us. You can't hide it from your parents."

Jing was at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

She had previously made most of her donations to education and charity anonymously, so there were no obstacles in that regard. However, her first targeted donation turned out to be unexpected.

"Dean Fang, don't worry, the money I spent is all my own, they won't interfere."

“That won’t work either. We don’t accept donations from minors,” Dean Fang insisted.

Shi Jing had no choice but to think of other ways.

Is it possible that money can't be spent?

After finishing this matter, Dean Fang still had other things to attend to, so he asked Fang Ning to entertain his friends. Fang Ning nodded and agreed.

After Dean Fang left, he looked at Shi Jing and asked, "Shi, Shi Jing, would you like to take a look around?"

This was Shi Jing's first time visiting such a place, and she was actually quite curious about the living environment of the children here.

Upon hearing Fang Ning's invitation, she nodded in agreement.

Fang Ning led the way, and Shi Jing followed behind him.

They didn't go to places like the dormitories, but instead looked around the areas where they usually hang out.

The activity area is divided into indoor and outdoor areas. The outdoor area has a playground that is not very large, and the grass is a bit worn, indicating that it has been built for quite some time. The playground has facilities such as parallel bars, horizontal bars, and slides. Although they are not new, they are obviously frequently used and very popular with the children.

The room was mainly a large classroom with a wall of cabinets filled with all sorts of small toys. The floor was covered with soft mats, and there were about twenty children there, being looked after by two older people.

Next to the activity room is a classroom of similar size, with several bookshelves filled with books, somewhat like a small library, where many young children write and draw.

Shi Jing looked at the bookshelves and lightly patted his head. He had only been thinking about buying stationery; he should have bought some paintbrushes and paints instead.

"Here," Fang Ning said at the right moment, continuing to walk forward.

After following him through several classrooms, Shi Jing arrived at a small classroom. Inside, there was a podium and a blackboard, and many children were sitting down, diligently writing down their questions.

Fang Ning explained, "Today, I'm going to explain the third-grade problems to him and them."

Shi Jing understood: "You're giving them a lesson?"

"Mm." Fang Ning nodded.

"May I go in and take a look?"

"Yes, that's fine."

Some children in the classroom had already heard them talking and curiously peeked out, only to be caught red-handed by Shi Jing.

The child's sneaky little act made Shi Jing laugh, and his face immediately turned red. Fang Ning noticed Shi Jing's gaze and looked over as well, asking helplessly, "Liang, Liangliang, have you finished the questions?"

"It'll be finished soon!"

Upon hearing this, the boy named Liangliang forgot all about being shy and immediately buried himself in his work.

Fang Ning walked into the classroom, looking at the children's homework at each desk. Shi Jing found a seat at the back. Fang Ning looked around and then went to the podium to continue explaining the previous questions.

Most of the children sitting below listened attentively, with only a few daydreaming. One of them was a boy named Liangliang, who looked rather chubby.

This kid looks to be around ten years old, and he has a rather lively personality.

After sitting there for a while, Shi Jing quietly came over and asked, "Sister, are you here for tutoring too?"

Yes.

Shi Jing thought he was cute, so she teased him on purpose. As a result, he looked at Shi Jing with a sympathetic expression after hearing her words.

"Sister, are you a bad student too?" Liangliang said, then quickly stopped Shi Jing from laughing, "Sister, don't laugh, Brother Ning will see it soon."

"Okay, I won't laugh anymore." Shi Jing made a prohibition gesture.

"Did you understand the question your brother Ning was talking about?" She couldn't help but ask, seeing that the boy's mind was basically not on the question.

Liangliang shook his head and sighed, "Half and half, math is just too hard."

Fang Ning, standing on the podium, coughed lightly and looked in their direction. Shi Jing suddenly had the illusion that he had been caught daydreaming in class by the teacher. Liangliang next to him did the same, obediently returning his gaze to his textbook.

Fang Ning smiled helplessly and then turned her attention back to the test paper.

He focused on explaining the incorrect questions, so his pace wasn't slow. Seeing that he had finished explaining the questions and that the children had been sitting there for quite a while, he couldn't help but say, "Everyone, take a break for a bit, and we'll continue in fifteen minutes."

As soon as get out of class ended, the children were overjoyed and all stood up from their seats.

It was only then that Shi Jing realized that several of these children had physical disabilities. She hadn't noticed Liangliang whispering to her in his seat, but when he stood up, she noticed that he was limping.

He seemed to have long since grown accustomed to his physical disability, walking quite fast and running alongside the children to play. As he ran, he waved to Shi Jing, "Sister, come play with me!"
