Chapter Thirty-Four: The Taste of Freedom



Tang Wan's little paws covering her head are just too cute.

Just like panda cubs in the zoo, they're round and chubby, making them instantly lovable.

Even Fu Wenzhi, a child who never showed his emotions, looked at Tang Wan with much gentler eyes.

Tang Wan did not hesitate any longer.

She picked up her small bamboo basket from the side, slung it over her shoulder, gave it a shake, and started walking forward.

Gou Xi and Lu Ze exchanged a glance, then snorted and picked up their small bamboo baskets, jogging to follow behind Tang Wan.

But now, an awkward thing has happened.

That's Su Jiajia; she didn't pick any mushrooms.

One reason is that she didn't want to listen to Tang Wan before, so she didn't go mushroom picking.

Secondly, because when she tried to pick wood ear mushrooms, she fell down and lost everything.

On the contrary, Tang Wan, even when she was suppressed, still protected her mushrooms very well.

So, did Tang Wan know about this upcoming event, which is why she took such good care of the mushrooms?

They said there was no script, but isn't this the script? Huh?

[Jiajia didn't get any mushrooms at all, but this girl named Tang Wan, who was pinned down, didn't protect herself first, but protected the mushrooms. Isn't that because she's going to sell mushrooms later!]

Seriously, even watching a children's reality show makes my heart ache with anger at the production team's outrageous actions! Don't you have any conscience at all, bullying a little kid like this?!

[I've had enough! Stop bullying Jiajia like this!]

The questions they could think of were also the questions the children present could think of.

Lu Ze, in particular, came to Tang Wan's side carrying his small bamboo basket and asked, "Tangtang, did you know the production team wanted us to sell them? How did you know to protect the mushrooms?"

The audience was also taken aback by Lu Ze's actions.

[Wow, Young Master Lu is too straightforward! Doesn't he have any guile at all?]

[I was wrong. I shouldn't have said there was something fishy about the show. How could a kid like Young Master Lu possibly be someone who could hide a script?]

Your stance changes far too quickly. Can't you be a little more patient with children? They don't have that many complex thoughts.

Yes.

Children don't have that many thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Tang Wan rummaged through the large pocket in the front of her panda suit and pulled out her tablet. She then placed it in front of her and began to write awkwardly and clumsily with her panda paws.

[Don't want to waste]

Tang Wan lowered her head, her two paws overlapping each other, as if she were spinning in circles.

Actually, she was just embarrassed.

I wonder if these kids will be disgusted by the fact that they pick up food to eat.

But she had to pick things up, otherwise she wouldn't have enough to eat.

The children at Xin Xin Orphanage fight for food. Tang Wan can't speak and doesn't know how to express herself, so she's always pushed aside and can't even argue with anyone.

So Tang Wan learned to pick up food to eat.

There is a garbage dump outside Xin Xin Orphanage; all the new garbage is discarded by the director.

It was delivered by those older brothers and sisters who were called "volunteers".

Tang Wan found many usable items inside.

Sometimes it's a blanket, sometimes it's ill-fitting clothes.

There are many more books.

Those books are very heavy.

It takes a lot of time for Tang Wan to transport them back and hide them each time.

Of course, there are also convenient foods that keep well inside.

There are dried instant noodles, compressed biscuits, and some strange, sweet and sour candies.

Tang Wan was like a little mouse, picking up trash bit by bit and decorating a small, neglected warehouse.

But because she often picked up trash, she had a certain odor on her.

Even though Tang Wan takes frequent baths, she still inevitably carries those unpleasant smells.

So the children at Xin Xin Orphanage complained to the director, saying that she was unclean and locked her in solitary confinement.

They even stole the little nest she had painstakingly "built".

He admitted to stealing something.

Tang Wan felt a little nervous when she thought about this.

Will they look down on me?

Do they feel like they're dirty kids?

Just as Tang Wan was feeling uneasy, Lu Ze suddenly shouted, "Tangtang, you're so amazing!"

"You're so young and you already know not to waste any available resources!"

Tang Wan raised her head and looked at Lu Ze with a somewhat blank expression.

"Did you know that there are many adults in this world who habitually waste resources?"

"Don't be fooled by our reputation for being a vast and resource-rich country; not everyone can have a good life."

"Many of them, all their lives, don't even know the meaning of 'not wasting'."

At this point, Lu Ze took out a small, almost wilted yellow wildflower from his bamboo basket and handed it to Tang Wan.

"Tangtang, you're so amazing!"

Tang Wan blinked, reached out her panda paw to take the little flower in front of her, and looked at Lu Ze with a somewhat hazy gaze.

It was as if more light had appeared in my dark world.

She was like a little hamster struggling to survive alone in the attic, unable to find her way in the dark world.

She read countless books, and in that small world, a curious mind grew, wanting to explore this dangerous world.

But as soon as Tang Wan stretched out a small paw, the dean grabbed it and broke her wing.

She was once again confined to that narrow world, where only her soul, yearning for freedom and light, cried out in defiance.

Now, her little world is filled with beams of light.

They brought her an Alice in Wonderland, and she was a mouse who had wandered into the fairy tale world.

Despite feeling out of place, I couldn't help but look forward to it.

Ahhh, how can Tangtang be so cute!

Tang Wan took the small yellow flower and wrote something on the tablet.

[Actually, I also wanted to make stir-fried mushrooms with pork for Brother Lu Lin; that dish is delicious.]

Upon seeing this, Lu Ze's expression changed, and he pointed to himself with some resentment: "Didn't I have it?"

Tang Wan raised her head, stretched out her panda paw, touched Lu Ze's face, and whispered "Ah".

It's as if it's saying...

[have]

[You have it too]

Gou Xi, who had been watching for a long time, became unhappy. She took a step, picked up Tang Wan, and ran away.

As she ran, she shouted, "Tangtang will make it for me! You just watch!"

Everyone was startled by Gou Xi's sudden action.

【No way! Is Xixi really that strong? Is this what a violent little girl is like?】

Xi Xi has always been strong; she can lift things heavier than herself.

Yes, this is also what Xixi's dad is very worried about.

What are you worried about? Are you worried she won't be able to get married?

[Oh, it's not that he's worried about. He's worried about getting beaten up when he disciplines Xixi in the future, and that would be very embarrassing.]

[Hilarious! Getting beaten up like this is so relatable. It's really embarrassing to think about, hahaha.]

Tang Wan was carried away by Gou Xi.

She watched the scenery slip away beside her, a big smile spreading across her face.

This is probably what the book is talking about.

The taste of freedom.
