Before Wen Xi's rebirth, she only knew that the world she lived in was a novel.
But she wasn't the female lead; she was just a passerby with few scenes. Her elder sister, while their ...
Wen Xi's heart skipped a beat. She had returned to the same mission world as before, and now she was 'Hao Liangliang'. Fortunately, she hadn't lost 'Hao Liangliang's' identity documents, which were kept in a corner of the warehouse and would come in handy this time.
However, the iron gate of the orphanage was locked, and Wenxi could not go in. Hearing the baby crying inside, Wenxi was very worried, so she reached out and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" After a while, a voice came from inside, and then a person dressed as a nurse in a white coat walked over. She looked at Wen Xi through the gap in the iron gate fence, "Who are you? Who are you looking for? Or do you want to take the child back?"
Wen Xi quickly waved her hand, "Hello, I am 'Hao Liangliang'. I just passed by here and heard a lot of children crying inside. I thought I didn't have anything to do, so I came over to ask if there was anything I could help you with."
Fearing the nurse wouldn't believe her, Wenxi also handed over her ID, but the fake marriage certificate fell out with it. The nurse picked it up and asked, "Comrade, you're already married?"
Wen Xi smiled awkwardly, "Yes, my husband isn't home, and I don't want to hold him back. I also want to contribute my share."
The nurse returned the certificate to Wenxi, then opened the door and invited Wenxi in. After Wenxi entered, the nurse locked the iron gate. Wenxi followed her inside and asked in confusion, "Comrade, why are there so many babies crying in here? Has something happened?"
Moreover, the system always issues tasks when the task target is about to die. It's unclear whether a child or an adult is about to die. Wenxi was quite anxious because she hadn't seen the task target yet.
After all, I'm already here, so I can't let the target die!
The nurse looked helpless. "It's all because of the drought. People don't even have enough to eat themselves, so how can they feed their children? They send their babies to orphanages because they can't raise them. The orphanages are getting bigger and bigger, mostly babies. We just can't take care of them all. We are so grateful to you for coming to help us."
"Comrade, there's no need for thanks. I'm from here, and it's only right that I contribute to our city," Wen Xi said somewhat anxiously.
As soon as I stepped inside, a nurse came over carrying a small baby. "What should we do? This child seems to be dying."
Wen Xi hurriedly looked at the child, thinking that this child should be the target of today's mission. She quickly took out a life-saving pill and fed it to the child while observing him. The life-saving pill melted in the mouth and did not need to be swallowed. Neither of the two anxious nurses noticed her actions.
After a while, the child's condition improved, and both nurses breathed a sigh of relief. Wen Xi pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Comrade, what's wrong with this child?"
“This child has had a persistent high fever. We couldn’t get any fever reducers, so we tried other methods to lower his temperature, but it kept coming back. We almost had a fever again just now…” the nurse said.
Wen Xi turned around, her back to them, and quickly checked in using her consciousness. She checked in dozens of times in a row, and then quickly checked the supplies that had been checked in. There was a box of children's fever reducers in the box.
So Wenxi pretended to take a box of fever reducers out of her pocket and handed it to the nurse in front of her, "Comrade, I happen to have a box of fever reducers left here. See if you can give it to this child. If you can't, I'll think of something else."
Seeing that the check-in system didn't have the word 'teleport', Wenxi knew that she couldn't go back for the time being and would have to stay in the dream for a while. With nowhere else to go, it was fine for her to stay and contribute to the orphanage, so that she wouldn't feel guilty.
The nurse quickly took the fever reducer inside, checked it under the light, and confirmed that it was safe for the child to take. She was overjoyed, saying, "Comrade Hao, this fever reducer is safe to use. Thank you so much!"
Wenxi smiled and said, "If you need any medicine or anything else here in the future, you can tell me and I can go out and find it. I may not be as good at taking care of children as you are, but I can definitely do a good job of running errands."
After that, Wenxi helped them take care of the crying children until all the children fell asleep. It was already past midnight, and Wenxi was exhausted. It was clear that the other two nurses had been busy all day.
Wenxi became familiar with them. The one who opened the door for Wenxi was Xu Yinmei, the one holding the child was Fang Zhiruo, and there were two other people who had just finished get off work.
The workload here is too heavy. If we don't take turns resting, everyone will collapse and there will be no one to take care of these children.
Wenxi yawned and said, "Sister Yinmei, Sister Zhiruo, you should both go back to your dorms and get some rest! I'll take care of these kids for you tonight. You should both get some rest so you'll have the energy to work tomorrow."
"Liangliang, are you okay?" Xu Yinmei asked worriedly.
Wen Xi said with a smile, "Sister Yinmei, you'll know whether I can or not when you come over tomorrow morning!"
Afterwards, Xu Yinmei and Fang Zhiruo went back to their dormitory to rest, leaving Wenxi alone in the children's room. Wenxi found a crib, sat down next to it with her back against the wall, and then closed her eyes.
In the latter half of the night, the children were quite well-behaved and made no noise. Occasionally, a child would whimper, and Wenxi would soothe them until they stopped.
The next morning, Xu Yinmei and Fang Zhiruo were worried that Wenxi couldn't take care of so many children by herself, so they rushed over in a hurry. They were both surprised to see a burlap sack full of children and a basket on the ground.
Xu Yinmei asked worriedly, "Liangliang, what is this?"
"Sister Yinmei, this is millet and eggs. Consider it a gift from me to the orphanage. Sister Yinmei and Sister Zhiruo, please cook the millet and eggs for everyone! There's only one basket of eggs, not enough for one per person, so let's make egg drop soup so everyone can have some," Wenxi said.
The reason she didn't take more was because she was afraid that someone here would resell her grain and profit from it.
She'd give up any amount of food to help the children, but she would never agree to feed selfish people.
Xu Yinmei opened her mouth as if to say something, but then said nothing. She called to Fang Zhiruo, and the two of them carried the millet and eggs to the kitchen. When they opened the burlap sack and saw the golden millet inside, their faces were filled with excitement.
You can't buy this kind of food outside anymore. Hao Liangliang must have bought it at a high price on the black market. Hao Liangliang really came to help them.
