Tang Baozhu could tell at a glance that these were proof of the orphanage's self-reliance. Even though land had been distributed to individual households, apart from the director and the director's parents, the other orphans probably wouldn't get any land. If they weren't careful with their money, they simply couldn't support those 20-plus children.
Soon, an elderly man and woman, probably in their sixties or seventies, came out from the middle door. "Quickly bring the child in, don't let the child get cold."
"Mom, don't worry, the baby is wrapped up warmly and won't get cold."
Despite saying that, the director still quickly took the child inside.
The director of the orphanage is surnamed Lin and named Lin Chunxue, but the children in the orphanage call her Mother Lin directly.
She also prefers the children to call her Mama Lin, which makes up for some of the regret that she cannot be a mother.
Tang Baozhu had just scanned the entire courtyard with her divine sense and had a clear view of the situation. The front yard was about one acre, and the back yard was about two or three acres, all of which had been cultivated for planting.
What remains is the area between the two plots of land, where a row of houses was built, a row of six large houses, and next to these six large houses, there are two smaller houses.
This "small" is only relative to that big house; in reality, it's not that small.
After entering the room, Tang Baozhu withdrew her divine sense, and opened her eyes as soon as they lifted the blanket.
"Oh dear, who is so ungrateful? They don't want such a pretty young girl, and she's even wearing clothes inside."
Tang Baozhu looked at the old lady who was smiling at her with a face full of wrinkles, and smiled back at her.
Tang Baozhu now has two teeth in her mouth, in the bottom row, so when she smiles, she looks incredibly innocent and adorable.
She accepted the old lady's praise without reservation, even though she was indeed skin and bones when she first transmigrated.
However, during this period, he drank spirit beast milk every day to nourish his body, and his wood-type supernatural power was constantly operating to repair the hidden injuries in his body.
So even though it's still skinny, it's no longer as scary as it was at the beginning.
Although she's not quite chubby yet, you can tell she'll grow up to be a very pretty little girl.
"Look at how this little girl is smiling. She understands. I'm praising her."
He captivated the old lady instantly; perhaps it was fate, she felt an immediate and strong liking for Tang Baozhu, the fake baby.
Tang Baozhu saw an old man next to her quietly watching his wife play with the baby, smiling and not saying a word.
Lin Chunxue directly opened the swaddle blanket. The most conspicuous thing was the change of clothes, followed by a note hidden by the clothes, and a small yellow croaker wrapped in the note.
When the little yellow croaker appeared, it stunned the three people next to it. This little yellow croaker was too precious for them; they had only heard of it but never seen it before.
Then they quickly looked at what was written on the note. The three of them passed it around and read it. Luckily, they could all read, otherwise Tang Baozhu would have been worried about whether they knew what she had written.
"Sigh, I never imagined that such a cute little girl would have such a difficult background. I wonder what happened to her family that led them to hastily abandon her in the orphanage."
Lin Chunxue is a very sentimental person, and as she spoke, her eyes began to redden.
Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin couldn't bear to see their daughter so upset, so they comforted her, saying, "Just be nicer to this little girl in the future. As long as we have food to eat, we can't let the more than 20 children in the orphanage go hungry. Just take good care of her and let her grow up healthy."
"Put this away and keep it for now. If you don't have to use it, then don't. Give it back to the girl when she grows up. If you really have to use it, then tell her when she grows up."
Although their conditions here may not be very good, they are all honest and kind-hearted. Even though they were very surprised to see the little yellow fish, they never had any bad intentions.
I never intended to keep this little yellow croaker for myself, or to give it to the other children in the orphanage to eat better.
To be honest, when Tang Baozhu heard this, even though she had spent hundreds of thousands of years in the Immortal Realm and her heart had long since turned cold, it began to warm up a little.
The longer she stayed in the Immortal Realm, the more indifferent she became. It wasn't that she intentionally wanted to be like this; it was just that she had lived for so long that she naturally began to be this way.
In her final days, if it weren't for Xu Rui by her side, she might have become an emotionless machine.
So sometimes she's grateful to have a system, at least it eliminates all her negative emotions.
"Okay, Mom and Dad. It's getting late, you should go home and rest early too. You still have to look after those children tomorrow. I'll take care of this child for now, and when she's a little older, she can stay with the other girls."
Lin Chunxue sometimes wonders if she is being too selfish. Just because she can't have children, she started this orphanage, preventing her elderly parents from enjoying their later years in peace.
But sometimes, when she saw the happy smiles on the faces of the children in the orphanage, she told herself that she was doing the right thing.
"Okay, this little girl seems very well-behaved, she shouldn't disturb your rest. You should get some rest too, after all, you have a lot of work to do every day. We'll be going now."
After the old man and woman left, Tang Baozhu was carried into her room by Lin Chunxue.
From the outside, you could tell the house was quite big, but once inside, you'd find that although it was large, it had been divided into two rooms.
The outer room was even smaller, with a bed made of a few planks, a box next to it, and some odds and ends piled up in the corner.
Tang Baozhu closed her eyes and scanned the room with her divine sense. She then saw some unhulled wheat and two sacks of sweet potatoes and potatoes.
There was even ground cornmeal, but the color of that cornmeal clearly showed that the corn cob had been ground in as well.
There were even some gray surfaces.
Tang Baozhu could tell at a glance that the orphanage was in particularly poor condition.
Soon, Tang Baozhu saw that there was a cellar under the house in the inner room, which was full of sweet potatoes and potatoes packed in sacks.
There are dozens of bags, I didn't expect the cellar here to be so big. It was probably originally used as a secret room, because it doesn't look like a cellar at all.
