Chapter 329: The Little Duck Who Strays Into A Fairy Tale World
The dormitory building is a twin building, two buildings in the north and south, the south is the women's dormitory, and the north is the men's dormitory, both of which are three-storey, and there are more than ten rooms on the first floor.
A large courtyard encloses the twin buildings, surrounded by high walls that are high for one person, and there is a large lawn in the yard, as well as slides, swings, mazes, etc., which are specially made for children to play.
Looking at those large toys, the children immediately turned into star-eyed eyes.
Each dormitory has a caretaker, referred to as the dormitory manager, and the dormitory manager on the side of the girls' dormitory is a woman in her thirties, surnamed Jiang, known as Jiang Niangzi.
Mei Jiqin handed over the girl to her and asked her to assign a dormitory.
She took the boys to the dormitory building at the back.
As soon as you enter the dormitory building, there is a passage about two meters wide, there are two beds on each side of the corridor, the shape of the upper and lower cabinets, the walls of the room are snow-white, the cabinets are painted yellow, and there are cartoon patterns painted on them, which is full of childlike fun.
The bed was already covered with a futon and was blue, and there were two pillows at the head of the bed, one of which was a lovely throw pillow.
On the table underneath is a complete set of toiletries, combs, mirrors, towels, teacups, mouthwash cups, toothbrushes, tooth powder, washbasins, foot basins, etc.
There are three towels, one for washing face, one for bathing, and one for washing feet.
Toothbrushes were common in this era, generally made of wood handles, with pig's mane on them, and the toothbrushes of the rich and noble were made of jade, ivory, or other materials.
Some also have gemstones, gold and silver inlaid on the handle of the toothbrush.
Ancient toothpaste is called tooth powder, which is developed with pig teeth, soaphorn, ginger, rehmannia rehmannia, acacia horn and other medicinal materials, which is regarded as a kind of medicinal product, not all families can afford to use it, and more people still use salt water, tea or willow branches.
And here, everyone gets a box of tooth powder, and it's the best kind.
Teeth have to be cared for from an early age.
In Xue Wen's opinion, since she has helped these children, she must make them feel the love of the school for them in all aspects.
Of course, she doesn't give it blindly, and when these children get used to school life, she will put them to the test.
And when the initial supplies are exhausted, if you want to get them, you have to spend "money" to buy them.
Naturally, this money is not a copper plate or silver outside, but a circulating currency that belongs to the Three Tribulations Academy.
"Is this house really for us? It's beautiful. ”
"Is this ladder for stepping on to get to bed?"
"Wow, the bed is so big and soft!"
"Come and see, there's another room here, what's going on here?"
"Oh, it's used to brush your teeth and wash your face, and you can go to the toilet inside."
"What is this? It smells so good. ”
"This closet is for us to put our clothes? How many clothes do you have to put it full! ”
The girls were walking around the house, looking very happy.
After the dormitories were assigned, the children were taken around the campus, and they kept exclaiming, and their eyes were amazingly bright, like ducklings that had strayed into a fairy tale, clumsily and excitedly walking inside.
Xue Wu built such a big school, naturally not only to accept the children of Qionglin Kindergarten Bureau and Donald Laopa, but she also had people distribute leaflets on the street, telling those orphans and beggars that as long as they are under the age of fifteen, they can come to the Three Suffering Academy and enroll for free.
At this time, at the gate of the academy, a little beggar dressed in tatters came over and asked, "Is it really possible for orphans to go to school for free here?" ”
As he spoke, he unconsciously tugged at the hem of his shirt and shrunk his toes back in with the holes exposed.
Cao Hu lowered his voice: "Of course, not only can you go to school for free, but also eat and lodging, do you want me to take you in to have a look?" ”
But the little beggar just crossed his feet and looked into the door, and then turned and ran away.
"Hey, what are you running? If you miss this village, you won't have this store. ”
Cao Hu chased after him and shouted.
But as soon as he gave chase, the little beggar ran faster, as if a wild beast was chasing after him.
Seeing this, Cao Hu had to stop, lest the kid really think he was a bad guy and scare him.
The little beggar ran all the way into a nearby forest, most of the original Ghost Cry Forest was cut down and reclaimed, and the current Three Afflictions College was built, but Xue Wu also asked people to leave a small piece, wouldn't it come in handy when the time came to give students a nature lesson?
At this moment, there is a group of beggars squatting in this forest, all of whom are not very old, the eldest is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and it is the leader of this group of little beggars, named Yun Teng.
Beggars also have circles to worship the dock, and the good positions are occupied by those big beggar gangs, and those who are young like them can get shelter after worshipping the dock, but most of the food and money they ask for have to be handed over, and they can't leave much at all.
Not only that, but young beggars are often bullied, so they sign up to keep warm and defend against the big beggars.
Yun Teng is old, takes care of the younger ones, and has more ideas, so the younger ones obey him and are willing to recognize him as the boss.
Seeing that the loach, that is, the little beggar who had gone to the Three Afflictions Academy to inquire about the news, came back, Yun Teng immediately asked, "How is it?" Is that true? ”
The paper he said was the leaflet that Xue Wu had people distribute, on which it was written that "the Three Afflictions College admits orphans for free", and there was a simple and easy-to-understand diagram next to it, drawing the route.
Yun Teng got the flyer, but he was illiterate, and even if he asked someone, they wouldn't pay attention to him as a beggar. Fortunately, however, the admission of orphan students to the Three Plagues College caused quite a stir, and the people on the street were talking about it, and after listening to it on the side, he roughly knew what was written on the leaflet.
Enrolling orphans in free school? Teach them the skills to make a living? Do you still have food and accommodation?
Is there such a good thing in the world?
Yun Teng's first reaction was not to believe it, not to mention him, most of the people on the street who took the leaflets did not believe it.
"This is a lie, isn't it? Where is such a good thing? ”
"There are more orphans in this world, can the Three Afflictions Academy still recruit them?"
"As the saying goes, half the eldest eats the poor, and recruits so many orphans into it, can the Three Afflictions Academy afford it? Do you still have food and accommodation? Free teaching? This cowhide is really blowing to the sky! ”
"I think there must be some conspiracy here, maybe the Three Tribulations Academy is trying to trick those orphans into it, and then do some shady things."
One of the people who had been to a charity auction stood up and spoke.
"Oh, stupid! Have you ever been to the Three Plagues Academy, just fooling around here! Do you know how rich Dean Zhao is? Do you know about the charity auction held a while ago? A pot of flowers that Dean Zhao took out at the auction was sold for eight thousand taels! Do you think she can afford it? ”
