A dark wooden bowl, white layers of rice porridge, and the young lady’s bright red dress.
Just looking at it is enough to shock people.
Besides, this little lady has a very sweet smile.
Mai Fan watched as small hands and larger hands handed over the bowl. The scene was particularly beautiful and touching.
No wonder this villain has been obsessed with it all his life and ran here whenever he got the chance.
"Thank you, miss..."
Mai Fan also looked moved and brought the bowl over. He didn't dare to leave it any longer. Like a dog, he ran to the edge of the wall, pulled two straw sticks from there, sucked and started drinking the porridge.
Just kidding, it looks like the old grandma has practiced it before.
The temples are swollen by three points, and there are calluses on the hands.
She was holding the weight of the big bowl, and with just a little effort, even the little lady's arms were holding it up.
If I behave in a slightly disrespectful manner, I'm afraid I'll get a beating.
He still eats honestly and doesn't think about losing what he has.
Probably Mai Fan acted like a beggar.
The little lady saw that Mai Fan was eating beautifully, and she felt happy too.
She was also curious about how the porridge cook made it.
Once it’s done, there’s no need to worry about how many servings to make.
She was not very old, and by the time Mai Fan finished his meal, he had already been picked up by the servants at home.
Some of the remaining people did not leave because the host family left.
On the contrary, it was a bit more fun to squeeze in this way.
By this time, the group of people leaning against the wall had finished eating.
Gouzi squeezed towards Mai Fan and looked at the layer of porridge still at the bottom of his bowl with envy.
"Xiaofan, you are so lucky."
"After this meal, I won't have to eat anything all day long."
"And I will only be 80% full with this bowl."
"I'll have to go to the shantang later to get some pot water to drink, so I can barely satisfy my hunger."
"Tell me how you got the reward personally from that lady."
"I heard that starting from today, the Shen family will come here every month to open a charity shed."
"It is said that their young lady has made a good marriage arrangement with Mr. Shen's good friend."
"Therefore, from now on, I will pray for the young lady of the Shen family, so that she can live a happy life and grow up safely."
Mai Fan nodded, looked at the crowded crowd in front of him, and took the last bite of porridge in the bowl.
He didn't know what to do next, but he happened to be very interested in the little beggar's daily life.
He didn't have anywhere to go, so he made an arrangement with the dog next to him.
Let’s go to the shantang together in a while.
Although in places like Shantang, there are a few free bites of food every day.
But not everyone can afford it.
There are only two times to serve meals, one early and one late in the evening. Those who can squeeze in are the lucky children.
Mai Fan looked up at the sky and was pulled by the dog to run.
They ran along the wall for a hundred meters, and on the wasteland adjacent to the villagers' corner houses, they saw four houses built like small temples.
Money is used to do good deeds here on weekdays.
Part of it is a gift from merchants and large households in the city who have some spare money.
The other part is provided for those traders who enter the city too late and cannot find a place to stay.
The channel provided is the salary for temporary accommodation in these four houses.
At night, this charity hall also has a candle and a pile of straw for people who cannot enter the inner city to take a short rest.
When these temporary residents leave, throw a few coins into the kindness box next to the door.
This does not include the cost of staying at the shantang.
There are those who don't give, but they are very rare.
After all, there are many people with good intentions in this world. Those who can choose to live here will naturally understand what kind of place this is.
Thanks to these two sources of support, as well as some kind-hearted aunties from around the city, they come over to help for free from time to time.
There are dozens of orphans taken in by the charity, including several beggars like Maifan Gouzi who have earned money to eat.
Only by helping each other can this big family survive.
It's just that today, there is something special in front of the shantang.
Gouzi and Maifan only ran to the door and didn't dare to move forward.
A person came to the door.
He is dressed in ordinary clothes and has a thin figure, but what about his aura?
The little beggar saw many people and just stood there, as if he was not to be trifled with.
The man stood in front of the door and did not go in. He only said a few words to the person in charge of the charity hall.
The people in the shantang waved their hands, seemingly rejecting the other party.
Gou Zi and Mai Fan did not dare to show their anger and hid at the entrance of an alley. After the man left, they ran into the shantang.
As soon as he entered, he saw the sad face of Lao Wang who opened the charity hall.
Gouzi wanted to ask, but Mai Fan was the first to ask: "Uncle Wang, are you being troubled?"
Old Uncle Wang shook his head. As the person in charge of the charity hall, he received a salary from the government office of Yunque City.
Although he is just a helper, he can still deliver news to the Yamen.
Although he usually takes care of children a lot.
But I have also dealt with all aspects.
This man came to the house out of nowhere and said he wanted to choose a few children to raise as foster children.
But he didn't believe it.
Firstly, where does he want to take these children? Secondly, he wants to raise half-grown children who are 8 years old and above, can take care of themselves, but don't know much about other people.
This is really different from the requirements for ordinary people to adopt children.
Lao Wang is afraid that this is a bad guy who walks around the streets and raises his children badly in order to cheat money.
I am even more afraid that this person will take the child with him and then sell it to a dental shop.
Although there are many children who come out of the charity hall and find ways to work as servants in wealthy families if they cannot survive.
But that requires these children to clearly understand the choice they have made and sell willingly.
No matter what this man wants to do, he will never agree to it.
Knowing what this person was doing, Gouzi, like Uncle Wang, cursed him a few times and let the matter go.
But Mai Fan knew that this man would never let it go.
Because just now, when he was hiding at the entrance of the alley, he already knew who this person was.
There is this person in the villain's memory, and the impression is not shallow.
Later, when he was trying to get ahead in the organization, he had several dealings with them.
This is the person in charge of the Youth Extermination Group.
He founded the Youth Hall back then and sent many talented people into the organization.
And because the villain became the top killer in the group, he was invited to the Youth Hall to give several classes of guidance to the new kids.
It seems that it was probably because of this person that the villain ended up in Mie's Youth Hall for no apparent reason.
However, the other party's plan to start from Shantang was broken.
I don't know where he got his first batch of children.
Just as Mai Fan was thinking about it, the dog was already making peace over there.
At this time, it was time for the meal to be served in the charity hall.
