The next day!
Cloud Street .
Every day was the same . At around 8 in the morning, a large number of townsfolk would be waiting outside the shop . The scallion pancakes were becoming more and more well known but not many people were able to eat them . Ten servings a day . When compared to the townsfolk's wants, the demand far exceeded the supply . Thus, the market price rose extremely high . There were many resellers amongst the people who queued . They all knew that Master Lin's scallion pancakes could be sold for a heavenly price .
It was the effect of a top-rate delicacy .
However, this reputation was only spread within this small region in Shanghai . Some other townsfolk from other districts had heard of its name and come to try it too . However, when they came, they realized that this scallion pancake was too difficult to get . With only ten servings a day and so many people queuing up, buying just one serving was simply too hard .
Lin Fan had nothing to do in the shop at the moment . He waved his hand and said, "You guys stay in the shop . I'm going to the Welfare Institute first . "
Wu You Lan asked, "Do you want us to go with you?"
Lin Fan waved her off . There was no need . He was going to the Children's Welfare Institute because he had something to do . The certificate for practicing medicine had already arrived, so he was going to the Children's Welfare Institute now to give the children check-ups . Lin Fan wanted these days to be a little more fulfilling . Those children were all unwanted . To them, although they were still young, they felt very different from other children and they mainly felt inferior .
Lin Fan wanted to defy nature and change lives . Since no one wanted those children, he would raise them up to be talents . When that happens, even if those parents want their children back, it wouldn't be so easy .
To Lin Fan, this was simply killing two birds with one stone . Not only could he gain Encyclopedic points, he could also bring joy to his soul . Just thinking about it made him excited .
Recently, when he went home at night, Lin Fan would be making a handwritten copy of the writing . It was a monumental piece of work . Although the total number of words was not high, the case examples inside were classics . At the same time, according to his own knowledge, he would correct some of the parts that were inappropriate in order make it perfect .
But writing a book was simply too tiring . He would fall asleep while writing halfway . After the previous night's hard work, he had written a thousand words . This speed was actually quite fast .
Nanshan Children's Welfare Institute .
Director Huang was waiting for Lin Fan at the entrance . She knew that Nanshan Children's Welfare Institute now belonged to Master Lin . Director Huang didn't worry one bit regarding this infinitely resourceful youngster . She could tell that this youngster was very kind-hearted . He took over the Children's Welfare Institute, not for his own gain but purely for the children .
"Director Huang…" Lin Fan came over to meet with Director Huang after parking his car .
Director Huang smiled and said, "Master Lin, let's go in . The children are all waiting . Even though you've come a few times, it seems you haven't met with the children yet . "
Lin Fan nodded with a smile . That was true . Although he had come several times, most of the time, he had been in the kitchen and he barely saw the children .
"Director Huang, how many children are there here now?" asked Lin Fan .
Director Huang replied, "Previously, a number of children were found by their parents and taken home . As of now, we are left with 365 . These children all either have physical issues or they've been found by their parents but their parents have refused to take ownership of them . We are still in the process of persuading the parents but for now, we haven't found a solution . "
Lin Fan nodded, "Since it's like that, then don't persuade them . If they bring these children back, they might not be good to the children . Let the children stay then . Over here, at least we are able to take good care of them . What does the institute still lack?"
Director Huang said, "Right now, we aren't short of clothes, food or accommodations but what worries me the most is the children's education . Some of the children are already five or six and should be receiving primary education . Initially, I wanted to send the children to nearby primary schools but this is Shanghai and every single school is already full . I can't get them places at all . Also, some of the children, because of physical disabilities, are afraid of being laughed at if they go to school . "
Lin Fan nodded, "We can't let them fall behind in terms of education . Leave this matter to me . I'll make arrangements for all these in the near future . First, let's take a look at the children . "
But when they reached the rooms inside . . .
A group of children was sitting there, some of them in wheelchairs . They were playing around in twos and threes, holding the toys that they had previously received . They were playing very happily .
When Director Huang saw these children, she instantly beamed . She said, "Children, look who's here!"
The children quietened down and looked to the front . They cried out with pleasant surprise, "Uncle Lin…"
Lin Fan had an astonished look on his face as he thought to himself, "Oh d*mn, these children actually recognize me . " Then, he looked at Director Huang with a puzzled expression, "They recognize me?"
His tone was one of disbelief . After all, he had interacted with the children very little . Every time he came, he had been in the kitchen . Could it be that Director Huang and the rest had told them about him?
Director Huang smiled as she shook her head . She didn't give an explanation .
In the front row sat a little fatty on a wheelchair . He had mucus flowing from his nostrils and his face was slightly red . It seemed that the children here had quite a lot of food . "Uncle Lin, thank you for the fun toys you gave us . We all know about it . "
Lin Fan touched his own face . He never thought that a 'behind-the-scenes character' like him would be known by these little kids . It was a little mysterious .
Director Huang said, "These children are all very happy here . Their moods have all changed from when they just came . But those human traffickers are really inhumane . They had caused irreparable harm to the children's bodies . "
Director Huang's words reminded Lin Fan of what he was here to do .
"Director Huang, could you please get me a book and a pen? I need to use them," said Lin Fan .
Director Huang didn't know what Lin Fan needed those for but she went to get them .
Lin Fan came to the little fatty's face and touched his head . "Kid, you're very lively . What's your name?"
The little fatty's nose twitched as he sucked in his mucus . Then, he said very innocently, "I'm Lil' Fatty . "
"Not a bad name . In future, you all have to call me Teacher, not Uncle . Teacher hasn't even gotten married . I'm very young . If you call me that, I sound like an old man," said Lin Fan with a chuckle .
Lil' Fatty's legs couldn't move but he raised his head and said, "Teacher . "
The children behind called out cheerily as well .
"Teacher…"
Lin Fan smiled . For a f*cking awesome man like him, if he set his mind on something, he had to do it perfectly . Although Nanshan Children's Welfare Institute was unnoticed by anyone, he believed that there would be a day when everyone would know it . He would make let everyone know that this was a place that produced talents and he you make all parents want to send their children here . Of course, this was just a mere thought for now . There was still a long way to go .
Very soon, Director Huang returned . "Master Lin, what are you going to do with this?"
Lin Fan smiled and replied, "Take a look . "
Then, he squatted down and felt Lil' Fatty's paralyzed legs . Fortunately, Lil' Fatty's legs were still there . If they weren't, it would have been impossible to recover them .
Director Huang stood at the side with no idea of what Master Lin was doing . She just stood there silently .
