Chapter 340 From now on, they finally have a warm new home...
When the children stepped into this dreamlike children's welfare home, they were instantly stunned.
The dozen or so orphans that Xu Gang had taken in at the dilapidated temple in Sifang Town were all among them.
A few days ago, they were lucky enough to win several "heartwarming charity gift bags," which gave them a way to survive.
With the careful care and feeding of his other brothers, the sixth brother gradually recovered his strength.
Yesterday, when the yamen runners took them away from the dilapidated temple, the younger children cried and screamed in terror.
Later, Xu Gang learned that this was a genuine relief operation by the government, and he was relieved and allowed the constables to take them away.
The anxious children were taken to a warm room, where the constables gave them a bath, saying that once they were clean, they would soon be taken to their new home...
For a group of orphans who have almost never felt the warmth of a home, and who don't even really understand what a home is, being able to have enough to eat is already a great blessing.
They obediently followed the instructions and even had a hearty meal after taking a bath.
Even today, when the constables led them all the way to the entrance of a magnificent courtyard, they could hardly believe their eyes.
Could this... such a beautiful place really become their new home?
With such doubts and trepidation, Xiao Lazi and the other children held hands tightly, like a group of little beasts who had accidentally wandered into a fairyland. They took each step cautiously and slowly stepped into the door that symbolized the unknown.
The scene behind the door was like a colorful and beautiful dream, instantly illuminating their eyes.
This scene will likely be unforgettable for them for the rest of their lives!
The stunningly beautiful woman, the highest-ranking official in the entire county, the kind and amiable hospital director, and several enthusiastic volunteer brothers and sisters were all smiling at them...
That smile didn't contain the cold stares and mockery they were used to seeing; it was full of kindness and warmth.
They witnessed firsthand the fairy sister and the county magistrate solemnly announcing that from this moment on, this would be their new home, and they warmly welcomed each of them into this big family...
Only now did they dare to truly believe that such a beautiful place had actually become their new home!
They are about to say goodbye to their dark and hopeless past and embark on a brand new journey.
From then on, they no longer had to endure hunger and cold, or sleep in the open, nor did they have to beg for food or be subservient to others...
Instead, they have food to eat, a place to stay, and even a place to play!
They were filled with anticipation, yet also a little worried, truly hoping that when they woke up, all this beautiful scenery wouldn't just be a dream...
If all of this is true, then they will cherish it even more and will be obedient from now on...
Before long, the ceremony came to a successful conclusion, and the fairy sister, the county magistrate, and others departed.
And so, Xiao Lazi and his group of children remained in this orphanage, which was as beautiful as a dream castle.
Sunlight streamed through the colorful stained glass windows, casting a dreamlike play of light and shadow, as if the air itself was filled with a sweet and hopeful atmosphere.
They stood there, their eyes filled with wonder and surprise, brimming with endless anticipation for this place that would soon become their new home…
The opening ceremony ended just as lunchtime was approaching.
Bai Mengran had just finished the opening ceremony and was about to take a short rest when she suddenly thought of the group of calligraphy and painting masters who were staying at the Moxiang Mingju.
Although she could have arranged for the steward to lead everyone to their own meals immediately, Bai Mengran glanced at Magistrate Kong, who was about to return to the yamen, and her mind immediately changed.
She tilted her head slightly, coughed lightly towards Magistrate Kong and the others, and asked in a clear voice:
"Lord Kong and Lord Shen, we have the good fortune to welcome a group of great calligraphers and painters, led by Elder Lu Weihuai, in our [Fairyland]."
Mr. Lu is highly respected and has a renowned reputation in the calligraphy and painting circles. The others are also talented individuals with their own unique strengths.
I thought I should take this opportunity to invite the adults to join me for a meal.
When all these celebrities gather in [Fairyland], it'll be quite a unique form of publicity!
Bai Mengran understood that this proposal was a win-win situation, but in the end, [Fairyland] was undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary.
By sitting back and taking advantage of this favorable wind, they can spread their fame far and wide. This gathering of big shots is the perfect publicity tailor-made for [Fairyland].
However, Kong Wenfeng had a different opinion after learning about this.
As a local official, he was naturally aware of the banquet held in Qianfeng Town yesterday, but since he was not invited and was not particularly skilled in literary pursuits, he gave up the idea of making acquaintances.
However, to his utter surprise, the young lady in white had already met this group of calligraphy and painting masters before him. What astonished him even more was that these people had all settled in the [Fairyland]!
He was naturally unwilling to miss such a rare opportunity. He was once again filled with gratitude for Bai Mengran, his benefactor. Kong Wenfeng immediately expressed his willingness to go along as well, to fulfill his duty as a host.
With that in mind, Bai Mengran did not delay any longer and immediately took Magistrate Kong and others, and hurriedly returned to [Fairyland] as noon approached.
This time, the officials felt embarrassed to go along, so they returned to the yamen with some reluctance. Only the three members of the Iron Triangle followed Bai Mengran again.
By this time, after their leisurely tour of the entire "Fairyland" yesterday and this morning, and with the steward's guidance and introductions throughout, most of the members of the literary group had already visited all the shops that interested them.
Many literati spent their own money to buy the things they liked, and of course, they also enjoyed the tempting delicacies to satisfy their appetites.
Therefore, since it was lunchtime but almost no one felt hungry, there was no rush to arrange lunch.
Seeing that Bai Mengran had not appeared for a long time today, Old Master Lu guessed that she might be busy with other matters.
So we sat leisurely on the veranda outside the guesthouse, enjoying the food we had packed and chatting with our old friends.
At this moment, Bai Mengran led Magistrate Kong and the other two officials onto the sightseeing bus, which drove all the way to the Moxiang Inn deep in the Fairyland. After getting off the bus, they headed straight for where Elder Lu was.
"Mr. Lu, I'm so sorry, I had other matters to attend to this morning and neglected our guests..."
Bai Mengran quickly stepped forward, a smile playing on her lips, and immediately apologized.
When Old Master Lu saw Bai Mengran, his eyes lit up instantly, and his face immediately broke into the warmest smile.
"Miss Bai, you're too kind. You have many things to do, so please go ahead and take care of them."
Your "fairyland" is so wonderful! We're having a blast here, eating to our hearts' content, and feeling incredibly relaxed!
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Master Lu noticed the distinguished-looking people behind Bai Mengran. He already had some guesses in his mind, but he still spoke first and asked, "Miss Bai, who are these people...?"
