‘Outsider’ Jian Xiaodan’s Orphanage Days (1)

Jane Xiaodan was a very sensitive person. She understood what Old Butler meant. She also understood that Old Butler’s’outsider ‘was just an unintentional mistake. Yes, in the eyes of others, she, Jane Xiaodan, was an outsider from Gaoleng.

Even though he valued him, promoted him, and accompanied him, he was still a friend.

But he was an outsider, a colleague, and just a good friend.

But Su Su was different. Gaoleng’s concern for her was a relationship between a man and a woman. Even Jane Xiaodan could feel it, let alone the experienced Old Butler.

Jane Xiaodan put away her thoughts and quickly followed the line. These executives had to receive another wave of people later, so they could not delay their business. She thought that Gaoleng would definitely need to buy red wine in the future, so it was always right to listen more.

However, for some reason, the word’outsider ‘had been whispering in Jian Xiaodan’s ears. Her facial expression was very subtle, as if she was trying to endure something.

“This white wine is not bad. Try it.” The wine expert said after shaking the wine in his glass and sniffing it. Jian Xiaodan took a sip of the wine glass and drank it.

Outsiders…

Jane Xiaodan took a deep breath. She really wanted to take back her mind and work hard. Work was the most important thing for her. It was the place where she could feel safe. However, Gaoleng, who knew that it was important to do business and only after doing it properly could Xiaodan feel at ease, seemed to be unable to take back her mind this time.

Outsiders…

Jian Xiaodan’s eyes suddenly became wet. She bit her lips tightly and tried her best to control herself. She paced back and forth to vent her emotions, but there was nothing she could do. A tear still fell from the corner of her eyes.

He quickly wiped it away, but another drop fell down.

Damn it, I’m drunk. I have to get down to business. Why are you crying? Jian Xiaodan cursed at herself.

“Alright, the children who can go to the new parents’ house this weekend are …” In the main hall of the orphanage, there were more than twenty healthy orphans. They stood upright, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

The children locked up on the second floor are not very healthy. Most of them have cerebral palsy or other serious illnesses.

Standing in the middle of the hall was announced the orphanage’s Vice Principal, a middle-aged woman who looked very kind. She wore a pair of silver-rimmed glasses and looked at the children standing in the hall with a smile on her face.

On the side stood four or five foreign families, who looked at the children with smiles on their faces.

Jian Xiaodan was petite, standing at the front of the line, her waist straight, and her eyes filled with anticipation.

Of course I’m looking forward to it. Children who perform well have the opportunity to follow volunteers home on weekends to experience the warmth of their families. However, there weren’t many orphanage volunteers ten years ago. Especially in this kind of situation, the requirements for volunteers were extremely high. Generally speaking, the employees in the orphanage saw the poor children and occasionally brought one home for a weekend.

Don’t sleep, sleep is too troublesome, just stay at their house for a day.

But this was also a gift from heaven.

“Zhou Zhi!”

“Arrive!” A little girl who heard her name grinned.

“You go to Father Zhou’s house.” The Vice Principal pointed to a man beside him. This man was also surnamed Zhou. Perhaps it was because of this that he often brought Zhou Zhi to experience the warmth of his family. He was holding his own daughter in his hand.

“Dad!” Zhou Zhi quickly ran to the man surnamed Zhou and called out sweetly. Then, he smiled at his daughter and said, “Let me help you with your schoolbag.”

Only if he performed well could he be loved. Obviously, this Zhou Zhi performed exceptionally well.

“Xiao Tao!”

“Arrive!” A boy next to Jian Xiaodan answered. He was extremely excited. Jian Xiaodan was getting more and more nervous. She looked at Xiaotao with envy. There were already two people who could experience the warmth of their families. There was only one place left.

“You go to Mama Li’s house.” Vice Principal pointed to a middle-aged woman beside her and nodded to her. “This is your first time participating in our family warming event. I’ll leave the child to you. Don’t worry, Xiao Tao is very sensible. He spent the weekend with several families in our courtyard. He’s very sensible.”

“Hello, Mom.” Xiao Tao quickly ran over and reached out to hold the middle-aged woman’s hand.

Seeing such an obedient child, the middle-aged woman’s eyes immediately became moist. She hurriedly picked up Xiao Tao, who was only five years old and was so sensible, and said, “Principal, don’t worry, I like this child at a glance. Xiao Tao, tomorrow aunt will take you … No, tomorrow mother will take you to the zoo!”

“There’s still one last spot.” Vice Principal smiled as he looked around and asked, “Who else did well this week?”

“Me!” A dozen pairs of small hands were raised at the same time. Only Jian Xiaodan did not raise her hand. She nervously looked at a young man who was waiting at the side. The man smiled at her.

Only then did Jian Xiaodan raise her hand and softly said, “I…”

‘”Alright, the last spot is…” The Vice Principal pointed at Jian Xiaodan.

Jian Xiaodan’s heart was about to jump out. She bit her lips tightly.

“Xiao Wang!” As soon as the Vice Principal spoke, Jian Xiaodan’s face immediately collapsed. She looked at the young man standing at the side and waiting. The man was smiling in her direction. It turned out that he was not smiling at Jian Xiaodan, but at the girl called Xiao Wang behind her.

“Alright, the others are going upstairs to prepare for dinner.” After the three lucky children were taken away, the other children went upstairs to eat as usual.

“Little Dan, you’re the only one who hasn’t gone out for the weekend.” In the evening, the three little girls gathered together and looked at Jian Xiaodan sympathetically. All three of their good friends were healthy children, and they were all girls. In terms of appearance, Jian Xiaodan was the most outstanding.

“You’re acting too cold.” A little girl sighed, “Today, Daddy Zhao brought Xiao Wang. I think it’s normal. Xiao Wang pours tea for Daddy Zhao every day.” ”

The last young man in the orphanage called him Father Zhao. He was a volunteer who had come to the orphanage frequently in the evening and had persisted for a full two months. Usually, very few people would come to the welfare institute to help for more than three days, and after one month, they were basically eligible to take their children out for the weekend. Of course, if they were willing.

Regular Welfare Institute staff would occasionally take one or two out, but over time, they lost that interest. The new volunteers, who can last so long, are the most promising group of orphans to spend the weekend with.

Every person who works in Welfare Institute, the children call them father and mother. Mr. Zhao had helped him for nearly two months, and the children called him Father Zhao.

“Xiao Wang poured tea for Father Zhao on the first day he came. Of course, it was pleasing.”

“That’s right, Xiaodan. I think Father Zhao originally liked you very much. Last time, he wanted to hug you. Why did you turn around and walk away?”

“Dad Zhao always drives here. His family must be very rich. Sigh, Xiao Wang must be very happy this weekend.”

The few little girls whispered to each other. Suddenly, they stopped talking. They all ran to their little beds and cleaned them up. A burst of footsteps came from them.

“Hello, Mother Li.” Almost in unison, the children shouted sweetly.

“Mother Li, Little Chan folded a Thousand Paper Crane for you.” A girl who had a good relationship with Xiao Dan ran over with Jian Xiaodan’s hand. She was in charge of taking care of the children sleeping.

She took out a Thousand Paper Crane from her pocket and handed it to Xiaodan.

“Hurry up and answer. Just say that you folded it and pass it to Mother Li.” The girl whispered and reached out to pinch her, “Hurry up… Do you want to go out for the weekend? Mother Li hasn’t brought her companions home for the past two weeks. She’ll definitely bring them the next week. Take this and show off.”

Jian Xiaodan looked down at her toes coldly. She shook her head and said, “I can’t do it.”

“Do you want a lollipop? Mom Li always buys me a lollipop every weekend.” The little girl stuffed the Thousand Paper Crane into her hand, and Mother Li walked up to her.

“Lollipop?” Jane Xiaodan raised her head and watched as Mother Li swallowed his saliva.

“Mother Li, this is the Thousand Paper Crane that Xiao Dan made for you!” The little girl saw that Jian Xiaodan was still dumbfounded, so she quickly handed the Thousand Paper Crane to Mama Li and said sweetly.

“Alright, alright.” Mother Li was obviously not in a good mood, so she put the Thousand Paper Crane in her pocket and clapped her hands vigorously, “Stop messing around! Get ready for bed! I’m counting! One, two, three!”

The dormitory was very big. There were more than a dozen beds in a large room. The originally noisy room began to count in Mother Li for only a few seconds. It quieted down and everyone quickly returned to their small beds and sat down obediently.

“Ten!” After shouting, Mother Li looked around and reached out to turn off the lights. When she turned around to leave, she looked at Jane Xiaodan and smiled at her.

“Mother Li smiled at you, did you see that? Did you see that? I told you, you have to learn to please others!” The little girl next door to Xiaodan whispered excitedly. She stretched out her hand and poked Jane Xiaodan’s arm, “Fold another Thousand Paper Crane for Mother Li tomorrow, you know?”

Jian Xiaodan didn’t say anything. She just covered the blanket and closed her eyes.

She came late to the orphanage, The abandoned five-year-old already had memories of her own home. She was a little awkward to ask her to call someone’mother ‘, but she knew that her mother had abandoned her. She had waited under the bridge for her mother to go to the bathroom for so many days. She had painted in every bathroom in that small town. She hoped that her mother would see that she would be taken away later, but it was a fool.

This kind of child who was abandoned only when he was five or six years old would have great psychological trauma.

They are not easy to adopt, because adopters will choose children without memories first, so that they can take care of each other.

Jian Xiaodan had been in the orphanage for several months and had been unable to integrate into it. She did not want to be close to anyone, and the other children were too good at flattering others. However, she was still a child. How lonely and boring was it to be locked up in an orphanage every day?

Children who can be taken out on weekends are happy.

However, there were at most two or three spots a week, and there were so many children that the competition was fierce.
