"The reason they set up the academy and enroll orphans for free is nothing more than kindness, a desire to do good deeds! This is called 'being rich but benevolent.' You know that Zhao Ji on Main Street? They make a fortune every day. If you don't have a fortune, you wouldn't dare set foot there. That Zhao Ji is owned by Dean Zhao!"
"She also runs a foundation called... the Daqing Foundation, which specifically supports orphans. She's just not interested in fame or fortune, so she hasn't publicized it. But in the eyes of you, she's been accused of harboring ulterior motives. You're truly judging others by your own standards."
After the man finished speaking, he raised his chin and walked away feeling refreshed.
Leaving behind a group of people with their jaws dropped.
After hearing those words, Yun Teng was completely excited. If what that person said was true, did it mean that beggars like them could also go to school, have food to eat, and have a bed to sleep in?
After all, which one of them is not an orphan?
But he still couldn't believe that such a good thing would happen to him. After hesitating for a while, he finally held on to a glimmer of hope and took a group of children out of the city and came to the vicinity of Sanhuan College.
After watching outside for a long time, Yun Teng still couldn't make up his mind and didn't have the courage to walk towards the magnificent academy.
It was because the flowers, trees and roads outside the college were all extremely clean. But when he looked at his dirty and torn clothes, his muddy and holey shoes, and his hands that could never be washed clean, he couldn't take a step.
At this time, Loach volunteered to go and inquire about the news, and Yunteng pretended to be calm and nodded in agreement.
But during the waiting process, his heart was in turmoil and he could not find peace of mind.
Seeing Loach coming back, he wanted to know immediately what he had found out, but was also afraid of hearing disappointing news from him.
After catching his breath, Loach couldn't wait to share the good news with his friends: "Boss, I asked, and it's true! Orphans can go to school for free! Room and board are provided, just like what the paper says!"
Yun Teng's heart finally settled down, and everyone else couldn't help but cheer, some even hugged each other and jumped on the spot for joy.
"Let's go!"
Cao Hu thought the little beggar had run away, but in the blink of an eye he saw him coming with a group of little beggars. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Seeing this, Yun Teng's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that they thought there were too many of them?
If that's the case, then I can only go to the next younger school. If that doesn't work -
"Oh, I thought you left. Turns out you went to call your friends. Come on, line up and go in one by one."
Cao Hu laughed out loud and called the group of children over, looking at them without any disgust or contempt in his eyes.
Once upon a time, he was also a little beggar living at the bottom of society.
At the gate, there is a circle the size of a bathtub, and inside the circle is a simple formation arranged with spirit beads - the mantra formation.
The effect is similar to the truth talisman. People who enter the formation will unconsciously tell the truth when asked questions.
Xue Huan set up this formation not to spy on other people's privacy, of course, but just to prevent some people from pretending to be orphans and sneaking into the academy.
So the people guarding the gate would only ask these children one question: "Are you an orphan?"
Once you pass it, you can naturally enter.
Yun Teng and others had long been numb to their orphan status, and when asked this question, they did not show any hurt expression.
After entering, a security guard came over and said, "I'll take you to the teaching building to register."
A group of little beggars followed him, but their eyes couldn't help looking around.
"Boss, the ground is so clean that we can lie down and sleep right away." Loach approached Yunteng and said.
Yun Teng winked at him, telling him to stop talking nonsense.
The loach immediately closed its mouth.
Halfway through the journey, Yun Teng and the others suddenly smelled a strong aroma, and it was the aroma of meat!
In an instant, the sounds of swallowing saliva and the rumbling of the stomach formed a symphony of hunger.
The security guard couldn't help but laugh. "Are you all hungry? The cafeteria is serving lunch right now. It looks like the meat dishes for lunch today are stewed pork elbow and braised spareribs. You're in for a treat, just in time. Let's go eat first and then go register."
Yun Teng and the others looked at each other in bewilderment, feeling as if they had been hit by a pie in the sky.
I can eat here before I even officially start school? Why does it feel so unsettling? Is there really no trap hidden here?
Although I thought so, my body still honestly followed the security guard towards the cafeteria.
It smells really good! And it's getting better and better!
In the cafeteria, the children from the Huiyou Bureau and the Tang family were already queuing up to get their meals. When they saw Yunteng and the others, they looked over curiously.
Facing so many gazes, Yun Teng's body tensed up a bit, and he subconsciously shielded the little loach and the other children behind him.
But he soon realized that he was overreacting because there was no malice in those looks.
The security guard took Yun Teng and the others to where the tableware was stored, taught them how to get the tableware, and then took them to the window for getting food.
Because the students are relatively young, the windows are set relatively low, and those who are a little taller have to bend down.
Seeing the dishes behind the window, Yun Teng and others were stunned. There was a big pot full of stewed pig's trotters, shiny and oily with an amber luster. The meat looked so tender that you could definitely bite off a big piece with just a slight pull.
There are also braised spare ribs with rich sauce and golden fried chicken legs!
There are also some meaty ingredients in the vegetarian dishes, such as stir-fried red cabbage with lard and minced meat with tofu.
The soup is a big bone and radish soup with solid meatballs floating in it and sprinkled with green chopped green onions on the surface. It makes people drool just by looking at it.
The quality of the food is so high that it is impossible to refuse. Even if there are drugs in it, they will still eat it!
What's there to be afraid of? The worst that can happen is death. If I can have a good meal before I die, I'll win!
Each person gets a plump pig's trotter, three pieces of pork ribs, a fried chicken leg, a spoonful of each vegetable, and a bowl of soup, which can be refilled after finishing.
The staple foods are rice, steamed buns, and egg and shredded pork noodles.
Yun Teng and the others quickly sat in the corner after getting their meal, and devoured it like they were snatching it away.
He looks very ferocious while eating.
The feeling of having a mouth full of meat is such a blessing!
For these orphans, this day was a day of joy and happiness as if they were in the clouds. They were reluctant to go to sleep until they took a bath and lay comfortably in their beds.
I’m afraid that when I wake up, everything I experienced today will be gone.
In the boys' dormitory, Yun Teng lay on the pillow, covered with a fluffy and warm quilt, smelling the scent of soapberry emanating from the quilt, and felt that his whole body was immersed in a warm and soft cloud.
From time to time, he would reach out and touch the folded school uniform next to his pillow.
After taking a bath in the bathhouse in the evening and washing from head to toe, everyone was given a set of clothes, including inner clothes, outer clothes, tops, pants, shoes and socks.
This set is for their daily wear. There is also another set of school uniforms, which is a robe style, knee-length, very light and soft, but very warm.
School uniforms are uniform and must be worn during class.
