Chapter 622 A Small Promise: A Child’s Smile Is the Most Healing Medicine in the World
Everyone was enjoying their dinner in the clean and beautiful restaurant. The dazzling array of delicious food delighted the children, especially the numerous desserts and pastries, which were deeply loved by them.
"Baby, what's your name?"
Su Yang came to a child who looked about two or three years old, his eyes full of innocence. But his left arm was empty. He was clumsily eating cake with a spoon, and after taking a bite, his face was filled with joy.
“Doudou…”
The child looked at Su Yang and said with a smile. His well-behaved and sensible appearance made Su Yang feel distressed.
Su Yang actually knew the child's name, as he had memorized every single person's information. Doudou was an abandoned child, raised in an orphanage. His arm might have been lost in an accident, and his family's situation remained unknown.
"Doudou, can you tell your uncle what you like best?"
Su Yang sat next to Dou Dou and asked with a smile.
"draw……"
Doudou said seriously, and her cute look made Su Yang laugh.
"Then uncle will perform a magic trick for you, okay?"
Su Yang's words made Doudou nod. Looking at Doudou's expectant look, Su Yang smiled slightly, then took out a red cloth from his pocket and covered his right hand. Then he quickly pulled the red cloth down, and a box of exquisite multi-color markers appeared in Su Yang's hand.
"Wow, colored pencils..."
Doudou shouted excitedly.
"Yes, Doudou was very well behaved today and didn't even cry. Uncle, can you give Doudou this box of colored pencils as a reward?"
Doudou nodded in agreement at Su Yang's words. Su Yang placed the markers on Doudou's dining table. A box of markers worth only a few dozen yuan brought a smile to the child's face.
"Doudou will have lots of colorful pencils in the future. There will also be uncles and aunts to teach you how to draw. When your uncle has time, he will come to paint with you. This will be your home in the future. When we grow up, let's become super great painters, okay?"
Su Yang directly held Doudou in his arms, hugged Doudou and spoke softly.
"good……"
Nestled in Su Yang's arms, feeling his warmth and listening to his words, Doudou, who had always been strong, had tears in her eyes.
The young body leaned against Su Yang tightly, and was reluctant to leave. This scene made some teachers nearby wipe away tears.
"Come on, let's make a pinky promise."
Su Yang stretched out his little finger, and Doudou also stretched out his little finger.
"Hook, hang yourself, for a hundred years, no change..."
After the two said this together, they both laughed.
Touching scenes happen here all the time. The lively atmosphere and delicious food make the children feel less unfamiliar and more at home.
After dinner, the children returned to their respective homes under the guidance of their teachers.
Children without families all live in dormitories, and the dormitories vary depending on their age and circumstances.
For example, Doudou's dormitory is decorated very cutely, just like a kindergarten, with individual beds, and the beds are relatively low for safety. Doudou's dormitory is a large dormitory, with four children and a teacher sleeping in one room.
Five people in a large room make younger children feel safe and make it easier for teachers to take care of them.
When we are older and can take care of ourselves, we will have our own rooms.
Dong Siqi and her family moved into their new house, which was quite large, with six bedrooms. Besides the five of them, a teacher would also be staying there temporarily.
"Siqi, this is your bedroom. See if you like it."
The teacher took Siqi into her bedroom. When Dong Siqi saw her bedroom, a smile appeared on her face.
The bedroom is beautifully decorated and very spacious. It has a warm and cozy style, and comes with its own bed, a separate desk, a separate wardrobe, and its own small bathroom.
The bay window is very large, and you can see the beautiful scenery in the distance when sitting on it. The small room satisfies Dong Siqi's fantasy of a bedroom.
The bookshelves were filled with books, and in the wardrobe, there were brand new clothes and personal items. After all, Dong Siqi was already twelve years old.
"Life will get better from now on. Siqi, here are some new pajamas prepared for you, try them on..."
Home tutors play a special role at this school. Teachers at this school don't have their own dormitories. They either stay with the children in shared dormitories or work as live-in tutors for children with family, like Grandma Chen's family.
Some children don't have parents or relatives, but they do have brothers and sisters. For these children, living in a dormitory is not as good as living at home.
Companionship is the best education. These children need companionship and guidance. Family education is crucial in a child's upbringing. And at this school, the children's education takes place during their regular class time.
When the children are out of school, the teacher plays the role of a parent.
"Siyu, Siyang, Sikai, come, let's brush our teeth together."
The teacher greeted the four children at home. The four children changed into new pajamas, took new toothbrushes and cups, and began to brush their teeth under the guidance of the teacher. They liked their new home very much and were very happy.
"Siyu, are you afraid of sleeping alone at night? Do you want me to accompany you?"
After washing up, the teacher looked at Siyu, who was only a little over three years old, and said with a smile.
"Is it really possible?"
Siyu looked at the teacher and asked, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Of course you can. From now on, the teacher is your family. You are the teacher's good baby. Come on, let the teacher hug you..."
After hearing the teacher's words, Siyu came out of the bed and was carried to her room by the teacher, with a smile on her face.
"Okay, you are such a good boy. Now close your eyes and I will tell you a story, okay?"
Looking at Siyu lying beside her, the teacher's face was also full of smiles. Three-year-old children are very cute, not to mention Siyu is very well-behaved.
Siyu nodded, and the sound of the teacher telling a story rang out in the room. After an unknown amount of time, Siyu slowly fell asleep with a smile on her lips.
Looking at Siyu sleeping, the teacher carefully covered him with a blanket and then lay down to sleep.
Although it was winter, there was not a trace of coldness felt on this campus that night.
Everyone else had already fallen asleep, but Mother Zhang patrolled the campus for a long time before leaving. Today was the first batch of children to arrive, and more would arrive every day.
This school will gradually become bustling. Looking at the huge campus, Zhang hopes it will give her children a sense of home. She hopes this school can change these children and cultivate them into useful people.
