It is well known that Steve's body is weak. When Zuo Si brought him back, many people in the orphanage saw it, but even if they saw it, they didn't say much.

When he arrived at the gate of the orphanage, Steve felt that he had recovered a little, so he supported Zuo Si to stand up, but his legs and feet were weak, and he was still a little shaky when he got up. Zuo Si was a little puzzled, so he asked him a question.

Steve said that because he was a boy after all, it would be too embarrassing to be framed by Zuo Si all the time.

Zuo Si seemed to understand what he said, but he still followed Steve's advice and didn't hold him up anymore.

When he was almost recovered, Steve looked down at Zuo Si, and apologized to Zuo Si: "I'm sorry, Grace, I really wanted to help you, but my body is really...a bit unfit... ..."

When Zuo Si heard him say that she was not in good health, she could also hear some bitterness in Steve's voice. Zuo Si shook his head and said seriously: "Although your body is very weak, you are a Very brave man."

The two of them are not the same age, Zuo Si's body has shrunk now, and he looks like a five or six-year-old child, while Steve is already ten years old, although because of his thin stature, he looks much older than Zuo Si How much, but his age is there, so the place where he lives is different from the place where Zuo Si lives.

After entering the gate of the orphanage, the two were about to separate, one facing south and the other facing north. Steve waved his hand at Zuo Si, signaling Zuo Si to go back. Zuo Si nodded at Steve and turned to face himself. Walk in the direction of the dormitory.

However, after walking a few steps, Zuo Si still felt that someone was watching her from behind, she paused in her footsteps, and turned her head to look over.

Steve still stood still and looked at her. When he saw Zuo Si turning his head, Steve raised his hand and waved vigorously at Zuo Si. He used too much force, and his body staggered and almost fell. Falling to the ground, seeing him like this, Zuo Si pursed the corners of her lips, a smile appeared on her face, she nodded towards Steve, turned and left.

Children who do not go to school in the orphanage do not stay in the orphanage carefree, they also have things to do.

The dean will bring back some clothes and the like for the children to button.

For these five or six-year-old children, nailing buttons is not a difficult task, even if the buttons are crooked, it doesn't matter, as long as they are strong enough.

Zuo Si is not good at such delicate work. If she is asked to fight people, she is good at it, but if she is asked to nail buttons with a needle in her hands, she is not good at these.

Like the children in the orphanage, ten people live in one room. Zuo Si has just arrived, and she is also the youngest among the ten people in this room.

But even though she was the youngest, when those older people came to bully her and rob her of food, none of them succeeded, and gradually they knew that Zuo Si was not what she appeared on the outside It came out so weak.

When they saw Zuo Si coming back, most of the people just scanned Zuo Si's body without paying much attention, and soon went to busy with their own affairs. They still have a lot of things to do during the day. All these things must be done, otherwise, if it is delayed until night, the food for them will be reduced accordingly.

Labor for income, no one complains about that.

Zuo Si silently walked towards her bed. When she reached her bed, she found that her bed was in a mess, and there was a large water stain in the center of the bed.

A lot of water was poured on her quilt and mattress, and the whole quilt was damp when she touched it with her hands. Some people who had a slightly better relationship with Zuo Si seemed to want to say something, but she didn't make any moves yet, so she Stopped by others.

It's summer now, and the sun outside is quite strong. Although the quilt has been soaked in water, other than that, there is nothing serious about it.

Zuo Si glanced at the little girls in the dormitory. Some of the little girls had malicious smiles on their faces, but most of the little girls didn't have any expression on their faces. Zuo Si looked at them without much expression on their faces. Seeing the change, she quickly retracted her gaze, bent down and hugged the quilt and mattress.

The quilts on the bed were very thin, and the resources of the orphanage were very tight, and there were not too many things distributed to them. After Zuo Si picked up these things, he took them to the yard outside to dry.

There was a clothesline hanging in the northwest corner of the yard. There were a lot of children's clothes on the clothesline. These clothes were put up in the morning, and they were almost dry now. Zuo Si moved all the clothes to the side, Putting her quilt up to dry, she acted extremely seriously, as if she was doing something very important, even though the quilt was dripping water dripping down, she still didn't have any bruises on her face. Any expression changes.

Dean Charlotte had just sent away the people who supported their orphanage, but when she came back, she found that Zuo Si was drying the quilt in the yard. When she saw the wet quilt hanging on the clothesline, Charlotte felt ashamed. The dean's complexion changed a little.

She was silent for a while, then turned around and walked towards Zuo Si.

Zuo Si had just dried all these quilts, and just as she was about to go back, Dean Charlotte had already walked by her side.

Zuo Si turned his head and looked at Dean Charlotte, there was still no expression on her face, that delicate face was like a porcelain doll.

Even though Zuo Si has been here for more than two weeks, Dean Charlotte still doesn't quite get used to Zuo Si like this, she doesn't look like a child at all, whether it's her expression or her appearance. His actions, as well as his appearance after being bullied, are not like a normal child at all.

Looking at the little girl in front of her, Dean Charlotte seemed to think of something in a daze, but those memories were too long ago, and when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't remember what she just thought of.

Zuo Si looked at Dean Charlotte quietly, waiting for her to speak.

Dean Charlotte's eyes circled around Zuo Si's body, and after a moment of silence, he said, "What happened?"

No matter how much she doubted Zuo Si, Zuo Si was still a child in the orphanage after all. Since she entered the orphanage, she had the obligation to protect these children.

Dean Charlotte has a very good heart. If she hadn't been kind by nature, she wouldn't be the dean of this orphanage. She dedicated her life to the orphanage, but there are too many orphans. The orphanage The funding they can get is also very limited, and they have no way to distribute all the resources equally to these orphans, so Dean Charlotte inevitably feels a little guilty in his heart when facing these orphans.

Zuo Si raised her head and looked at the other party, the expression on her face remained unchanged. She pointed to the wet bedding next to her and said lightly, "These things are wet, I'll dry them."

How could Charlotte, as the dean, not know what happened in the orphanage, but even if she knew, she had nothing to do. The resources of the orphanage were too short, so she could only take care of every Children, but she can't focus on a certain child, and she has no way to intervene in some innocuous matters.

After all, this world is so cruel now, even in the orphanage, you can't learn how to protect yourself, so how can you protect yourself after you grow up and admit that you are out of the society?

She doesn't want all children to be like delicate flowers.

Zuo Si didn't know what Dean Charlotte was thinking, but felt that Dean Charlotte's gaze on her made her feel a little uncomfortable.

She frowned, but she still didn't say anything. After a while, Dean Charlotte seemed to have finally organized her words, and spoke softly.

"Grace, those children are unintentional. They are still young and can't tell the difference. Sometimes what they do may be a little out of line, but I hope that even if they do something out of line, you will also Be able to forgive them and don't argue with them."

Charlotte has never been able to treat Zuo Si as an ordinary little girl, she always feels that Zuo Si is not ordinary, she is not like a child at all, that's why Charlotte said such words.

If she was a real child, she might feel chilled because of Dean Charlotte's words, but Zuo Si is not a real child, she just looks like a child.

Zuo Si stayed in this orphanage because she couldn't find a place to stay for the time being. She didn't want to rob other people's resources because of her existence. After staying here for a while, Zuo Si also knew about the orphanage. The resources are very tight, so she has tried her best to reduce her needs. After hearing what Dean Charlotte said, Zuo Si nodded and said, "I see."

After saying these words, the two fell into silence again. Zuo Si raised his head and looked at Dean Charlotte. Her dark eyes clearly reflected Dean Charlotte's appearance , After staring at Dean Charlotte for a while, Zuo Si said again: "If there is nothing else, then I will go back first."

Being stared at by Zuo Si's dark eyes just now, Dean Charlotte's expression became a little dazed. She seemed to think of something, but she was not sure what she thought of. After she was silent for a while, she heard After Zuo Si's words, he nodded and agreed.

"it is good."

Before her words fell, Zuo Si turned around and left mercilessly. Looking at Zuo Si's straight back, Dean Charlotte let out a long sigh, feeling that her head seemed to be hurting more.

But thinking about the person who came earlier said that he would inject a sum of money into the orphanage, after the money arrives in the account, I am afraid that it will alleviate the resource crisis of the orphanage...

Being able to maintain the normal operation of an orphanage of such a size in such a world is already the limit of what she can do. Dean Charlotte didn't think too much, and hurried back to the office.

Those funds will be in place for some time. She has to think about how to deal with the funds first. It is still summer, and it will be autumn soon. After autumn, the weather will gradually cool down, orphans There is still a lot of clothing and bedding missing in the orphanage. After the funds are in place, these things must be purchased first. As for other expenses, they can be reduced if they can be reduced. Although the funds given by the other party are not small, there are There are so many children, and if you count carefully, there are actually not many.

After drying all the quilts, Zuo Si returned to her dormitory. She looked at her empty bed board, and the expression on her face didn't change at all. She walked slowly towards her bed and sat on the bed. on top of the bed.

The other little girls in the dormitory were busy doing their own things. They held the clothes that Dean Charlotte brought back in their hands, and mended the buttons on them stitch by stitch. They were all familiar with these things. , so the speed is very fast, and they can nail the buttons on a piece of clothing in a short time. After they are nailed, they bite off the silk thread on the top with their teeth. aside.

Everyone in the dormitory was very busy, and Zuo Si was the only one who was still idle there. She looked at the busy little girls around her, hesitated for a while, but finally did nothing.

She was not good at such things, and if she did it forcefully, there might not be any good results, so Zuo Si didn't think about doing these things.

Five or six-year-old children have been in the small society of the orphanage for a long time, and they will have some scheming. The oldest girl in the dormitory is named Jennifer. After a while, all the work in hand was done.

She put all the clothes aside, stood up and stretched her sore arms. Because of taking needles for a long time, a thin layer of calluses had been worn on her fingers. She was only seven years old. For a big child, those hands don't seem to have the tenderness that a child should have.

Although Jennifer is only seven years old, she has been in this orphanage for two years. Since she entered the orphanage at the age of five, she has been doing things. If she does not do things, she will have no food to eat. However, Zuo Si entered the orphanage , but it was extremely leisurely, she didn't even have to work, when all of them were busy working, she sat on the other side leisurely, which made Jennifer very unhappy.

After packing up all her things and putting them aside, Jennifer stood up and strode towards Zuo Si.

Zuo Si raised his head and looked at the girl who was approaching him aggressively.

Jennifer is a blond girl with blue eyes, she looks very pretty, but the expressions on her face are too harsh, and probably because of lack of food and drink, the baby fat on her face faded away early Faded, the whole face is very thin, and the whole person looks a little mean.

When she walked in front of Zuo Si, the maliciousness emanating from her body rushed over.

Zuo Si's exquisite face and fair skin were all the places where Jennifer was jealous of Zuo Si. When she saw Zuo Si looking up, Jennifer's pupils constricted, and a strong malice appeared on her face.

She just looked at Zuo Si who was sitting on the bed, and said directly: "Why are you still sitting here? Why don't you do anything? Where did you go today? Don't you know that the same is true in the orphanage?" Follow the rules of the orphanage? Didn't your parents teach you the rules when they were alive?"

What she said was very mean, and even deliberately mentioned Zuo Si's parents, the purpose was to attack Zuo Si and hurt Zuo Si's heart.

Generally speaking, children like Zuo Si who have just entered the orphanage have basically lost their parents not long ago, and they have not yet broken out of the pain of bereavement, so when these children enter the orphanage Most of the children who have had the same experience in the orphanage follow a principle and will not mention their parents in front of those who have just entered the orphanage.

But Jennifer was not like this. She directly talked about Zuo Si's parents in order to make Zuo Si sad.

Jennifer is just a seven-year-old child. Even if she has malicious intentions, those malicious intentions are very superficial. She expressed her own malicious intentions in such a big way. After saying these words, she looked at Zuo Si, wait to see Zuo Si's eyes are red and weep bitterly.

However, Zuo Si was not a real child. When she said these words, the expression on Zuo Si's face remained unchanged. She looked up at Jennifer, and the expression on her face was still calm.
