Chapter 336 Almshouse
Chapter 336 Almshouse
The weather changes caused by magical turbulence can often completely change the original climate overnight.
The cold air spread throughout the capital in an instant. Although the weather would become very cold and snow would begin to fall at this time of year in previous years, this winter was colder than in previous years.
Nelly didn't continue working today. In response to Weiguang's request for her to take a break, she decided to go out for a walk today.
In addition to the cute rabbit cotton coat, she also wears warm boots and a thick carrot-colored scarf draped over her body, making her look like a cute little dumpling.
Weiguang originally didn't want to let Fen know that she was going out today, as long as she could stay with Princess Nellie.
But it was really unfortunate that we still met Fen at the door of the church. There was no choice but to act together again.
"Wei Guang, now is not the time to work, you can stand next to us."
Nellie greeted as Finn stood beside her with her arms crossed.
Weiguang likes to stand behind Princess Nellie.
Just looking at His Highness' figure would make me happy.
This is her little trick.
Nelly's hairstyle changes frequently. If it were Nelly herself, she would only be able to do the simplest hairstyle. But since Weiguang has been following Nelly, this task has been contracted to her.
Sometimes when I see her golden twin ponytails swaying up and down from behind, even my mood becomes better.
But at this time, she finally chose to stand by Nelly.
Nellie was holding Weiguang and Fen's hands, one on each side, and the three of them were walking together on the main street of the royal capital. For some reason, Fen suddenly felt that they were a family of three.
The doting mother——refers to Weiguang.
The taciturn father - refers to himself.
Finally, there is Nellie who plays the role of the daughter.
Because she is too short.
It's so small, and it's cute just by looking at it.
There were still snowflakes floating in the sky and the weather was quite cold.
The sun didn't even come out today, and there weren't many people walking on the street. In any case, Nelly and the others didn't see any civilians walking out.
"Where should we go?"
Nellie asked.
Is there any special place worth visiting in the royal capital?
Where to go for a big meal?
Or maybe go somewhere for a stroll and do some shopping?
The final decision was to go to Cassava first to take a look and then stroll around there.
Cassava and Zhizhi are not in the church, but in the [almshouse] run by the Vatican.
The [relief home] is located in Xicheng District, where land and commodity prices are relatively cheap, which can reduce the cost of living as much as possible.
"Knock knock."
After arriving at her destination, Nellie knocked on the door.
There was no response after the knock on the old door. Nellie pushed the door open and led the two people in.
[Orphanage] There are several orphanages in the royal capital. Since the monster girl named Zhizhi is still unconscious, Cassava, who picked her up, volunteered to take care of her.
Although there are many inconveniences, we can still cope with it with the help of others.
There was no way, the monster girl named Zhizhi was only close to Cassava.
The layout of the entire [relief home] is a large house with a small courtyard. These are very old houses and you can see the traces of time.
The layout is also very simple, but there are still magic lamps and other things.
When I opened the door and walked inside, I saw some people busy preparing lunch.
The weather was very cold. Nelly saw the boy named Cassava squatting in front of a large basin in the yard, peeling cassava with a knife in his hand.
Cassava was peeling cassava. I don’t know why, but just listening to it made me feel a little funny.
"Your Highness the Saint!"
Cassava felt that the view in front of him suddenly went dark, as if someone was blocking his sight.
The person was wearing a thick cotton coat, with golden hair showing under the rabbit cotton hat. Although the whole person was wrapped in a scarf, Cassava still recognized who it was.
After all, Lord Weiguang and Lord Fen were standing nearby.
He quickly put down the work in his hands and wiped his hands on his clothes nervously, but he didn't know where to put them.
"It's okay, it's okay, I just came to take a look, just go about your business."
Nellie quickly waved her hand and said so.
The sound of cassava attracted the attention of people around.
Under the women’s palace?
Is that the Saint Nellie?
Everyone working here became restless.
But no one came up to talk to them. Someone quickly stood up and ran deeper into the orphanage. After a while, a middle-aged woman who looked very thin came out.
Nelly was chatting with Cassava and asked him how his life was here.
"It's pretty good. Every day is fulfilling." Cassava replied hesitantly.
In addition to the Vatican staff, most of the people living in this orphanage are children, who are raised and educated here.
Because Zhizhi is mentally ill and her intelligence level is that of a child, she also receives education here.
According to Cassava, Zhizhi has been doing much better recently and can even speak some simple words sometimes.
"It seems that she is indeed much better."
"Well, the girl's intelligence is actually not low, but she has never been exposed to anything, like a blank sheet of paper."
"Have you been stimulated by something before? Or did your brain get hit?" A strange female voice sounded. Looking at the source of the voice, it was a skinny middle-aged woman.
Although she looks thin, her eyes are very bright and just looking at her you can think of her majestic expression.
"Well, I think so. Maybe he lost his memory?" Nelly replied.
She didn't tell anyone else that Zhizhi was a maze creature.
"Hello, I'm the director of this orphanage, Daisy Foster," she introduced herself to Nelly.
With a surname? Is this still a noble?
This surprised Nellie a little. It was rare to see nobles doing such volunteer work. She was even the director of this orphanage.
Nellie held out her hand and shook it.
"Hello, I'm Nellie..." Nellie introduced herself, but before she could finish, she was interrupted by Daisy Foster in front of her.
"I know you, Your Highness Nellie." She looked at Nellie and asked, "I want to ask if the charcoal subsidy for our orphanage this year is too little? The weather this year is obviously colder than in the past, and most of us have children here, and they can't stand the cold weather."
"Isn't there enough coal here?" asked Nellie.
"This year's weather is much colder than usual, so we started burning charcoal much earlier, otherwise the children would be too cold to sleep at night," Daisy Foster replied. "We don't have much charcoal left now."
"I think our charcoal subsidies should not be the same as those in other orphanages. After all, the conditions here are more complicated and there are more children."
"Is that so?" After hearing Daisy Foster's words, Nellie did not agree immediately.
"Are there any specific financial statements?" Nelly asked.
"Yes, yes, please follow me."
Daisy Foster let go of Nellie's hand and took her into the house of the orphanage.
The house is quite large, with three floors. Due to the weather, the children did not go out today and stayed inside the building.
These children were all educated in the orphanage, and they were taught to read and so on.
She led Nelly and others towards her office and finally came to a very small office.
The first thing to do when meeting the leader is, of course, to ask for subsidies.
To Daisy Foster, Nelly is her leader.
