Chapter 301 The Orphanage's Lies: The Handsome Flower Boy 1
"Congratulations, host, on successfully completing this world. You have saved two cubs and changed your life from ruin to something else."
This mission's rating: SSS!
Not only did you save the cubs, but you also led to the development of a new race, promoted the progress of humanity, achieved a historic leap, and inspired the entire continent. Your name will become part of the history of this world.
After you left, you were honored as "Emperor" and became a figure recorded in history books. Your people carved your deeds with stones and knives.
The reward settlement will now proceed:
One pristine island in the Pacific Ocean.
Two overseas oil mines, with full mining rights, are privately owned.
Note: All rewards for completing the game are for use in the original world.
The reward was only two short lines long, but it made Shen Ci want to kneel down and thank the system!
With her current wealth, she could spend it all however she wanted after she got out! Even if she only had two oil fields, it would be enough for Shen Ci to squander for several lifetimes!
Both of these rewards are real gold mines, golden eggs that can make money from money. They are even more exciting than simply throwing money at people. Shen Ci has not forgotten where he came from.
Now I realize that the little bit of family property I fought for is nothing compared to these rewards, it's just a drop in the ocean.
As for the experiences in this world, they are like a reincarnation; once they're over, they're over. They are experiences, but we must move forward.
It's like a job, and now she really enjoys it.
"I'm ready to move on to the next world."
"Okay, we are about to load the next world. Please get ready to welcome the new baby."
...
Beijing Municipal Social Welfare Institute, late 1979.
Fifteen-year-old Lu Jinnian was surrounded by a group of older children, but instead of being noticed, they were being bullied.
"Lu Jinnian, why aren't you doing any work again? You're always the one slacking off!"
"That's right, they eat the most during mealtimes, but don't do any work at all!"
"I'm going to tell the headmistress!"
"You're so old and you still refuse to leave the orphanage. You just want to freeload. No wonder nobody wants you."
Lu Jinnian looked at the group of people surrounding him, smiled disdainfully, and remained silent, which further angered them. The group surrounding him was all boys.
Suddenly, Lu Jinnian squinted and her voice came through, sounding like she was about to cry.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Please don't hit me. I'll go get back to work right away, and I'll do all your work too!"
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have sat down to rest when I was too tired. Even if I felt dizzy, I should have kept working. I'm sorry!"
The atmosphere suddenly took on a strange, green tea-like quality. Before the boys could even notice what was odd, a roar came from behind them.
"You're bullying Xiao Nian again! Sigh!"
We're all family, no bullying allowed. Xiao Nian has always been in poor health, why can't he take a break?
"You're all being punished by not resting until you finish cleaning today. Xiao Nian, you're coming with me."
The female dean, who had a refined appearance and a somewhat slender figure, said that she was only forty years old and was everyone's "dean mother."
His soft, jet-black hair was slightly wavy, with a few strands hanging down in front of his forehead. His skin was very white, the kind that would have stood out in an era of scarcity, a whiteness that seemed to have never seen the sun.
He looked somewhat fragile and delicate, but his eyes were always clear.
Beautiful peach blossom eyes with an inner curve and an outer upturn, thin eyelids like cicada wings, and slightly upturned ends; such eyes seem to hold a touch of tenderness even when not speaking.
Seeing such a delicate face, the headmistress lost her temper and didn't want to scold the child too much, after all, it wasn't easy to raise this child, who was physically weak.
"Here, have some candy."
Little New Year, you've grown up, and it's time for you to do what you can.
You are already fifteen years old. In our welfare home, once people reach the age where they can live independently in society, they choose to leave the welfare home to create their own families.
What are your thoughts on your future?
In those days, welfare institutions did not have clear laws and regulations stating that they should raise children until they were 18 years old, and that once a child had acquired a skill and could live independently, they could leave.
Eighteen years old is just a generally accepted age, but it is not strictly enforced and there are no rules or regulations.
If every child were to be raised to 18, it would depend on how well-off the orphanage is.
Lu Jinnian looked down at the candy on the table in front of him. The candy wrappers were crumpled, as if they had been crumpled many times. His hands, which were hanging by his knees, were clenched tightly.
When I loosen my grip, it's like I'm afraid something might escape.
"Dean, I want to go to high school..."
Lu Jinnian said that he had calculated it. He was fifteen years old now. He had missed school by two years and had just graduated from junior high school. He was ready to go to high school.
At that time, the school system was still five years plus three years plus two years: five years of primary school, three years of junior high school, and two years of senior high school.
But just then, reforms began that year, with the announcement of a 6-3-3 school system: six years of primary school, three years of junior high, and three years of senior high.
After finishing high school, he turned eighteen and was able to leave the orphanage. A high school diploma would make it easier for him to find a job and potentially a better one.
"Go to high school?"
The director looked at the child in front of her with mixed feelings. She had watched him grow up. He was clever, intelligent, and ambitious, but the orphanage didn't have the resources to support him.
"well……"
The dean sighed.
"Dean, don't worry, I can figure out how to pay for my high school tuition myself. Just keep taking me in."
When I turn eighteen, I'll graduate from high school and be able to find a job. Then I can move out of the orphanage.
If you kick me out now, I'll be homeless too.
Lu Jinnian explained somewhat anxiously, looking into his eyes, his light brown pupils were like amber in water, clear and clean.
He was still so young, clearly a child. How could we put him in such a difficult position? The dean felt a pang of guilt.
"I won't kick you out, I just hope you have some plans for the future."
I'll try to find a way to pay your tuition, but there are so many children in the orphanage, the director can't only look after you.
Lu Jinnian nodded quickly, as long as he wasn't kicked out.
"I understand, thank you, Dean!"
I'll work to earn money for my tuition this summer. Once I have a job, I'll never forget the director, nor the younger brothers and sisters in the orphanage!
He spoke with such conviction. Regardless of what his true thoughts were, the fact that he could say such sensible things would surely warm the heart of any adult.
Leaving the office, Lu Jinnian held a piece of candy in her hand. The dean only had one box of candy, and only those who worked hard and did things right would occasionally receive such a reward.
Lu Jinnian's demeanor changed as soon as he came out. He had been looking fearful and sincere just a moment ago, but now he looked like a smug little man.
He slowly peeled off the candy wrapper, deliberately making a noise to attract the attention of the group of boys who had been surrounding him.
Then, with a triumphant smile, he slowly popped the glistening candy into his mouth, eating it while showing an expression of enjoyment.
