Chapter 24: The Orphanage
Haohan Lake is located in the suburbs of Panhu City, the scenery is beautiful, except for the south and the road leading to Panhu City, the remaining three sides are surrounded by mountains, the lake water is crystal clear, boating on the lake, where you see, the lake and the mountain complement each other, just like entering a beautiful landscape painting.
It can be said that the Orfen orphanage built on the west bank of the river is an excellent feng shui treasure land, climb the building and overlook, the lake and mountains can be seen at a glance, the beautiful scenery can cultivate the children's temperament, the effect is better than psychological counseling, in order to implement the policy of the beginning of the hospital, the children's dormitories are built near the lake.
The orphanage is divided into different departments, and different children are given corresponding education. Babies and toddlers have a special nursery room, and the nursery staff is responsible for taking care of the babies according to the worksheet every day, children with physical disabilities are allowed to move in a special activity room, where handrails, wooden stakes, etc., are set up indoors for half an hour at a time to exercise, and older children go to school, and special staff take them to the spell academy in the city.
Most of the children chose other spell academies in the city, and only a few chose to attend the Elanisa Royal Academy, due to the difficult entrance exams for the Elanises Royal Academy.
Lan Yifan was full of confidence in Shen Fangli, and in her opinion, the girl sitting next to her was destined to have a bright future. The carriage traveled north, but she guessed from Shen Fangli's eyes looking out the window that the girl was not looking forward to life in the Orfinn orphanage.
At the next intersection, the carriage turns right into the road around Haohan Lake, the light instantly passes through the dense woods, the shadow of the leaves is reflected on the roof of the carriage, and a corner of the lake is exposed from the gap between the trees, and the light reflected in the center of the lake is like the stars in the sky as the carriage travels.
Shen Fangli is very lucky, no child can enjoy the same treatment as her: she is appreciated by the dean and picked up by the dean himself. If the bereaved children want to be admitted to the orphanage, they must be accompanied by the staff of the orphanage to obtain an orphanage certificate, and the corresponding staff will be responsible for sending the children to the orphanage.
Lan Yifan told her that she didn't have to worry about all this, all the formalities would be handled by her, and as long as Shen Fangli ate well, dressed well, and lived well, she would be at ease.
The dean took care of Shen Fangli in all aspects, she had nothing to say, but the way the Orphin Orphanage welcomed newcomers to move in was a little peculiar, the female employees were all dressed in maid costumes, dressed as maids, and then made a welcome gesture, almost without saying anything, similar to "Welcome, master!" The orphanage should want to create a comfortable environment for the children in this way, but she is a little uncomfortable with this way of welcome, if it weren't for Lan Yifan supporting herself, she would have been shocked and fell down as soon as she got out of the car.
The children's entertainment room was at the end of the corridor on the second floor, and the noise of the children could be heard from the entertainment room from afar, Lan Yifan immediately squeaked open the door and led Shen Fangli into the entertainment room.
This is a relatively spacious circular entertainment room, with all kinds of children's graffiti painted on the walls, balls, building blocks, slides and other toys scattered in every part of the room, some children are drawing crayons on the sketchbook on the ground, some children are playing hide and seek with their friends, and children of the same age as Shen Fangli are looking at her intently because her hair color is different from theirs.
"Everyone, please be quiet, and now I'm going to introduce you to a new companion. Her name is Shen Fangli, and everyone should get along with her from today onwards. Lan Yifan said and motioned for Shen Fangli to introduce herself to everyone.
"Hello everyone, my name is Shen Fangli, you can call me Li'er in the future, my hobby is ......" Shen Fangli was about to introduce herself, and immediately found that the atmosphere seemed to be a little inappropriate, the younger children were still continuing their games, and the older children were talking about her appearance in a low voice, saying things such as "Suspicious, why is her hair silver?", "Silver hair, blue eyes, she can't be a member of the Wei clan." Something like that.
However, Lan Yifan didn't notice Shen Fangli's depressed mood, the two children's fighting attracted her attention, and one of the boys came to her crying with a red face and complained to her.
"Teacher Lan, Mu Yunxi beat me!"
"Mu Yunxi, why do you always like to bully people? Didn't I warn you many times that it was wrong to do this?" Lan Yifan pointed to the boy hiding behind the long slide and asked him to stand up and apologize.
"I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize. The boy named Mu Yunxi walked out, he was wearing a gray shirt, his hands were folded, and he pretended to have an innocent expression on his face.
"If you say you're not doing anything wrong, then tell me why you hit someone, or I'm going to punish you." Lan Yifan grabbed Mu Yunxi's ears as he spoke, making him scream in pain.
"Oops, who told him to rob Liu Yuhan's puppet, in short, it's not right to rob other people's things, I'm upholding justice. Mu Yunxi grabbed his ears and shouted, "Teacher, let it go, it hurts me to death." ”
"That's true, but it's not right to fight evil with evil, understand?" Lan Yifan saw that he had no choice but to let go of him, turned to the boy who was beaten, and said, "Do you hear about returning the puppet to others?"
The boy who was beaten saw that the situation was unfavorable to him, so he had to take out a silver-haired, purple-clothed puppet and hand it over to Mu Yunxi.
Mu Yunxi, who snatched the doll, apologized, but did not forget to sneer at the boy: "You kid is really too bad taste, this thing is obviously for girls to play, you actually robbed it too, to be honest with my brother, do you have a crush on Liu Yuhan?"
The man was so angry that Mu Yunxi's face turned red, and he cried and fled.
Mu Yunxi stood in place and laughed very proudly, and his smile was slapped on the head by Lan Yifan.
"Alas, you are really unrepentant, forget it, forgive you today, don't you take an example, understand?" Seeing Mu Yunxi admit his mistake, Lan Yifan took the opportunity to pull Shen Fangli in front of him and said to him, "In the future, this girl will be one of us, you are the same age as her, and you will take care of each other in the future." ”
"Please advise!" Shen Fangli smiled and stretched out her hand to Mu Yunxi, but the other party stared at her without blinking, so she had to stretch out her hand and shake it in front of Mu Yunxi's eyes.
"Oh my God......! You...... You're so beautiful. As she spoke, Mu Yunxi took Shen Fangli's hand and took her aside, deliberately not letting Lan Yifan hear the conversation between them, and then lowered her voice and said, "Before you came, Liu Yuhan had always been the most beautiful girl we had here, and it is estimated that she will definitely be jealous when she sees you later." ”
"Really, tell me what's going on. Shen Fangli was not interested in this matter, but she couldn't find anything else to say.
"Listen to me, that's it...... And ...... like this."
Lan Yifan, who was standing in the distance, couldn't understand what Mu Yunxi was gesturing to Shen Fangli, so he had to sigh and turn around and close the door.
It turned out that the girl named Liu Yuhan that Mu Yunxi said was a Junlong person, before Shen Fangli came here, she was the only foreign child, and most of the relatives of the children in the orphanage were killed by the Junlong people in the war, so Liu Yuhan received a lot of cold eyes, and she was usually taciturn, and she was the most withdrawn child here.
"Oh, I see, you're trying for me to speak for you so that you can be friends. Shen Fangli smiled and said, "It's too simple, tell me, where is she?"
Mu Yunxi pointed to the direction of the swing in the room, Shen Fangli looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, she saw a long-haired girl with half a ponytail, her fair skin indicated her nationality, and she was shaking the swing expressionlessly at this time.
"Hello, are you Miss Liu Yuhan?" Shen Fangli stepped forward and handed the doll that Mu Yunxi handed over to the girl on the swing, "He just took back this doll for you, and was scolded by Teacher Lan for this, you should really thank him." ”
"Yes, I'm Liu Yuhan, but who are you?" The girl on the swing glanced at Shen Fangli coldly, "Hmph! As a member of the Wei clan, I dare to meddle in things, why don't you let Mu Yunxi hand over the puppet to me by herself?"
Shen Fangli introduced herself to Liu Yuhan and persuaded: "It's not like this, he and I just want to make friends with you." ”
"I'm sorry, but the only people I can be friends with are people of my own nationality, whether it is the Belen or the Wei people, I am not interested. Liu Yuhan said as he snatched the doll from Shen Fangli's hand, jumped off the swing, and left without looking back, no matter how Shen Fangli screamed, he didn't look back.
"Ah, look at you...... I just swore that I could succeed, and I don't even want to talk about you. Mu Yunxi shook his head at Shen Fangli and left very helplessly.
When she came to the orphanage for the first time, in the face of everyone's disapproval and Liu Yuhan's indifference to her, Shen Fangli couldn't help but feel aggrieved, and this emotion lasted until dinner time.
The orphanage's dining hall looks like one of those places that can make people feel good, with long tables wrapped in cloth that stretch from the entrance to the exit on the other side, and can accommodate at least 30 children and staff to sit and eat. The light of the magic lamp on the roof was just right, but it was not bright enough, and a candlestick was placed at intervals on the long table, and if there was anything missing, it was that the chef's dishes were not very good.
But as long as she eats enough, Shen Fangli will be satisfied. Compared with Sister Mo's craftsmanship, the chefs in the orphanage are indeed a few points worse, but after all, these are their sincere efforts for the children, and she has no reason not to appreciate it.
Just now, Shen Fangli was busy packing her luggage, and she hadn't asked Dean Lan for advice on the work and rest time in the hospital, and she heard from other children that their work and rest time was very strict, and there were arrangements for when and what to do, and if they violated it, they would be punished.
Shen Fangli asked a few more people, and made it clear that it was bedtime after dinner, and every child had to sleep in the dormitory, and she was no exception, so she followed the rest of the girls into the girls' dormitory.
The dormitory building at the Orfinn orphanage has two floors, with the lower floor for boys and the upper floor for girls. The boys' and girls' dormitories are spacious, with more than 20 beds, and almost all the children live in a single dormitory.
Shen Fangli's bed is the upper bunk of the eighteenth, when she packed everything into the locker, she met Liu Yuhan's gaze, it turned out that Liu Yuhan's sleeping position happened to be her lower bunk, Liu Yuhan only glanced at her and immediately shifted her gaze to the spell book in her hand.
"It's such a coincidence, it turns out that you and I are in the same bed, please give me more advice in the future. ”
Liu Yuhan put down the book, still did not shake hands with Shen Fangli, she smiled bitterly, and said, "Why do you always want to be friends with me?
Shen Fangli was disappointed by Liu Yuhan's words again, she climbed to the top bunk in a low mood, covered the quilt, and said slowly to Liu Yuhan in the lower bunk: "You say, why should we close ourselves?"
"Hehe, you actually realized it, not bad!" Liu Yuhan smiled, and there was a sound of her closing the book from the lower bunk.
