Teresa won't starve

To put it in a more common way—she is as timid as she is smart.

So Cocolia was not surprised by her appearance, and even squatted down to make herself as tall as her, which greatly reduced the 'pressure' she was under.

"Okay, tell me, what's going on."

"Yes, it's Nina." Estherine looked up at Cocolia's pair of 'big eyeballs' (huh?), and immediately turned her head to the other side in fear as if she was staring at a dragon: "She, she was injured again."

again?

Cocolia frowned.

When there are too many children in the orphanage, some problem children will inevitably appear.

For example, Natasha, because of her poor health, couldn’t participate in many games, so she was inevitably alienated from other children—if she wasn’t literate and could tell stories; another example is the pair of Rosalia and Lilia. The twins, the latter also said, the former's naughtiness is almost nerve-wracking.

Even Teresa, who has just joined, gives her the feeling that she is obviously a problem child.

But whether it's Teresa or Natasha, or even the twins of Alin and Estherine in front of her, she can always find a way to deal with them.

Only--

Nina, this child is different from other children, even very different from normal people.

Cocolia has almost no effective way to deal with her. The only thing he can do is to watch her and try to keep her from hurting himself.

Of course, it was impossible for Cocolia to stay with one child all the time and ignore the other children; so she specially found a child who was closer to Nina, and asked him to take care of Nina for her.

Even if you can't take care of it, you can always make a small report or something, right?

Just like in front of you, if something goes wrong, you can report it in time.It also gave Cocolia time to react, so that it would not lead to unmanageable consequences.

Cocolia grabbed Iselin's little hand, comforted her and said, "Take me to see her. With me here, nothing will happen to her."

377 "Teresa Bupielski"

the other side.

With the cooperation of Teresa and several children, the room full of sundries was quickly cleared out, and by the way, it was cleaned.

Of course, asking Teresa to come in this regard is probably a disservice.

Fortunately, the children are very familiar with this, so Teresa can at best do some laborious work of pouring and changing the water, and the children will do the tricks.

Because of Natasha's poor health, she could only take Xiao Xi'er, who was also unable to help, and gossip about some unimportant gossips, so Xiao Xi'er became familiar with this, and she looked about the same age as Teresa's sister Miss Sister. (Note)

After a while, when everyone was almost packed, Natasha rewarded everyone with a candy, and of course Xiao Xier was also included—although Xiao Xier didn't do anything to help.

"What about mine?"

Seeing that other children had them, Teresa asked reflexively.

"You want it too?"

Hearing Teresa's words, Natasha almost didn't laugh out loud.

But she didn't say anything, after all, Teresa is also a child in terms of age, barely a half-grown girl.It is estimated that she should be a child living in an above-average family, and it is not uncommon for her to be so precocious without her.

So Natasha took out the last piece of candy and put it in Theresa's palm.

After Teresa got the candy, she unceremoniously peeled off the candy skin and asked Natasha, "Where's your own?"

"Where is mine anymore, this is the last piece."

That piece of candy was not reserved for Natasha herself, and it was not a pity to give it to Teresa at this time, but what she said made people feel a little sour.

"Really?" Teresa paused for a moment before she took the candy out of the candy shell: "By the way, I have a question for you."

"what is the problem?"

"Can you open your mouth?"

"what?"

While Natasha was still in a daze, Teresa showed the speed of being single for 20 years (?), and stuffed the candy into Natasha's mouth in an instant, and even asked her leisurely: "OK Do you want to eat?"

"...not tasty, too sweet."

Even so, Natasha didn't spit it out.

Besides, sugar, where should I put it when I spit it out?

It would be a pity to lose it.

It's just that Teresa mistakenly thought she was being arrogant: "You say you don't like it, but your body is very honest."

"It's not what you think!!"

Natasha was a little dumbfounded.

At this moment, she deeply understands how helpless Mama Cocolia is when facing problem children.

......

Let the children go, and let them go about their daily routines, like writing letters, words, etc. Everyone has something they have to do.

Even Natasha was no exception—

Because if you don't do anything, people will be idle, they will think wildly, and they will want to do things everywhere.

In order not to let herself do something that would hurt everyone, she could only force herself to become busy.Of course, because of her body, what she can do is extremely limited.

Most of the time I read books and make up bedtime stories.

After all, the storybooks that the orphanage can buy are relatively limited, and there will always be a day when the story will be finished, so she must prepare in advance.

Of course, that's not the thing to do right now.

What she is doing now is to lead Teresa and Xiao Xier to visit everyone's 'home', so that they can get familiar with the environment as soon as possible so that they won't get lost.

"Natasha."

Natasha, who was leading the way while pointing to the murals on the wall, was explaining. When she heard Teresa's voice behind her, she immediately stopped and turned her head: "What's the matter?"

"how old are you?"

"Is this question important?"

"Ask casually, if you don't want to say it, forget it."

Natasha thought about it, and felt that although she didn't really want to say it, it was not something that she couldn't say, so she said it to her directly: "In my case, I am ten years old this year."

"Huh? Two years younger than me?"

"Didn't Mom say that, let me call your sister."

Speaking of this, Natasha remembered that she was going to call her "sister"; but facing this "sister" who was more childish than herself, Natasha couldn't call her "sister".

"That's okay, just call me by my name."

In Teresa's mind, it is very strange to be called 'sister' by someone who is only one or two years younger - at least seven or eight years younger, right?

"As long as you like it."

Since Teresa didn't care, Natasha stopped struggling.

Teresa nodded after listening, and then asked Natasha: "That's right——"

"Can you finish what you have to say at once?"

"No."

"why?"

"Speaking of it in one breath, I'm also going to be out of breath, okay?" (Are you sure?)

"..."

Obviously these words are very reasonable and in line with common sense, but why is Natasha so angry that she wants to laugh.

This man is so skinny!

378 "Not sweet enough?"

What Teresa wants to say is actually very simple, she just wants to ask why the orphanage was established in Siberia, and it happens to be in a corner of the forest.

With such a remote location, wouldn't it be very troublesome for transportation and material purchases?

"This? How should I say it?" Natasha thought that this was not a secret, so she told her some of the truth she knew: "Actually, it's not that it can't be built in a warm and suitable place for living."

"Then why..."

"But those places are either too chaotic, or they can't buy land or build houses, even if they are rented. The daily expenses of so many children are also a huge expense."

"Too."

Teresa nodded, she understood that this was the main reason for the poverty in the orphanage.If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't live anymore, it wouldn't have caused some orphanages to gradually go down the wrong path.

To put it bluntly, people are forced.

"So! My mother built the orphanage here in the end—the land, you can use it as you like, and no one will take care of it anyway; the same goes for the building materials, just find a place that ordinary people can't see and cut down a few trees."

Natasha's tone was very calm, even a little naughty.Teresa vaguely felt the helplessness and bitterness hidden in it.

"Of course there is a reason." Speaking of this, Natasha's mood gradually became depressed: "I don't know why, my mother doesn't have any genetic diseases, but my health has never recovered. How many doctors have I consulted?" , No matter how much I have eaten, there is still no change. Perhaps if it is not because my body is not suitable for long-distance travel, my mother has already made up her mind to move everyone to a warm and comfortable city."

If it wasn't for her, everything would be fine, right?

Without her, wouldn't mother be able to worry less?

Teresa stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder with her hand; after meeting her purple eyes, she tried to comfort her with lame words: "Don't take it to heart, it's not your fault."

"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile." Natasha took Teresa's hand away with a smile, and leaned closer to Teresa's ear and said, "Do you know how you comfort people? It's as weird as reading a text." (Note)

"........................ah?"

Teresa thought for a long time but couldn't understand, what a strange description is 'reading the text'.

......

With Teresa and Xiao Xier who was biting her finger, they walked through each corridor together, and greeted other children, or simply left by the door without going in to disturb they.

Finally, the time has come for a temporary separation.

Of course, considering that they are newcomers, they are still relatively free and don't know what to do, so I told them: "If you really don't know where to go, just go to the library and look for a book. There should be something you like."

"No, Xier and I still want to go around."

When she said this, Teresa was looking at Xiao Xier.Xiao Xi'er was also looking at her, making it impossible for her to see even the slightest hint of rejection.

It seems that Xier will follow wherever she goes.

"Okay then." Since that's the case, Natasha stopped pushing her and just pointed in the direction of her room on the second floor: "If you encounter something that you can't solve, you can go to me or your mother."

After saying this, Natasha went upstairs with the help of the stairs.

I don't know if she is in a good mood, but Natasha didn't cough even once this morning, including when she introduced the orphanage to Teresa and Xiao Xier.

It's not that I'm trying not to cough on purpose, but the state is indeed much better than last night.

After Teresa watched Natasha enter the room, she looked down at Xiao Xi'er who was holding her right hand: "Let's go somewhere else."

"En!" Xiao Xi'er nodded heavily.

It seems that no matter where she goes, as long as she can be with Teresa, she is very happy.

379 "Confused Behavior"

"Where should we go first?"

While thinking this way, Teresa led Xiao Xier around.

After all, the orphanage is such a big place.

Although there is a small yard outside, but it is so cold and the wind is blowing, who would go outside for a walk?

So in the end, they were just lying on the crack of the door to secretly observe what the children were doing like when Natasha took them to visit.

If it's interesting, watch it for a while, if it's boring, it's up to Xiao Xier to decide whether to stay a little longer.

In this way, he walked around almost the entire orphanage before stopping at the door of a room.The reason to stop is because the children inside are obviously very busy, but they still refuse to stop.

One can't help but want to see what they are doing and what interesting or boring things they are saying.
