"Ahahahaha..." The other children's laughter was very loud, but Zibai, standing under the tree, looked at the boy squatting on the ground, and felt that there seemed to be some louder sound coming from him, but it had not been made yet.

The dinner was signaled by the ringing of a bell. Nan Peng then noticed that the yard faced the kitchen window, but the window was tightly closed and covered with a layer of paper, so he couldn't see inside clearly.

At this moment, a crisp bell rang from the window, and a child immediately shouted, "It's time for dinner!"

Eating is more important to these children than playing.

Four grown men and a group of little kids lined up to wash their hands before walking into the living room. Their shoes were dirty and left dust on the floor.

"It's time to eat." The director's mother came out of the kitchen. The pot was very big and looked heavy. Nan Peng and Qian Xingxing hurried over to help, while the director's mother turned around, closed the kitchen door, and locked it.

Later, she explained with a smile: "There are too many knives in there, and I'm afraid the children will get hurt if they run in, so I made this door specifically. Although it's a bit expensive, it's very necessary."

Nan Peng nodded, thinking that the dean's mother was very thoughtful, but Qian Xingxing did not say anything because the dean's mother's words aroused another question in his mind.

If the safety of the children is so important to them, why is there no need to worry about the gate to the orphanage? What if the children escape?

Did the director's mother's words seem contradictory? He frowned slightly, but only for a moment, because the director's mother asked him to get food for the children.

The porridge was cooked very thick, with minced meat and mushrooms, and the taste was particularly rich. The children ate it with relish holding their small bowls, but Zibai still noticed the child named Xiaoyi.

He sat at the very edge of the table, drank only half a bowl in silence, and then shared the rest with several younger children around him.

"That child always takes good care of his younger siblings." The director's mother said beside Zibai. There were limited chairs, and after the children sat down, only one chair was left empty.

So they simply ate while standing and asked the director's mother to sit down, but she refused and insisted on eating while standing with them.
