Chapter 152 Orphans
St. Martin's Orphanage No. 3
There are five orphanages in St. Martin's, each with a capacity of about 1,000 people, for a total of 5,000 people.
Of course, there are not actually that many orphans in St. Martin. Now, except for one hospital with a little more people, there are only two to three hundred people in the others.
Among them, one is located in the city of St. Martin. It accommodates the orphans of martyrs, ministers, officials, or people who have contributed to the kingdom. This courtyard also has the best treatment among all orphanages. It has specialized teachers, specialized medical personnel, and
Specialized psychological counseling, etc.
Although not everyone who grows up in this courtyard will become a talent, the rate of becoming a talent is also very high.
The second, third, fourth and fifth courtyards are located in the east, west, south and north suburbs of St. Martin City respectively!
Although the treatment is not as good as that of the First Hospital, there are also dedicated teachers, medical staff, and psychological counselors who come regularly to provide psychological counseling to all orphans. However, these abilities are not as strong as those of the First Hospital.
Most of the people who entered the second, third, fourth and fifth courtyards were orphans from ordinary people.
The reason why these yards are treated differently is to tell the people of the Kingdom of St. Martin that as long as you make contributions to the kingdom, even if you sacrifice, your children will receive the top treatment and the top education. When they grow up,
You will also become a talent!
If you are just civilians in the kingdom, don’t worry. Although your children do not have the top treatment, since you are a member of the kingdom, the kingdom will be responsible for your children to the end!
"Wave after wave... wave after wave..."
Today, after finishing his work, Old Newcastle went to the Royal Bank of St. Martin to issue a proof of income and deposit, then went to the city's security team to issue an identity certificate, and then went to the hospital to issue a health certificate. Only then was he happy.
Walking towards the third orphanage in the west of the city.
Adopting an orphan in St. Martin is not that simple. In addition to age, you must also meet certain financial and physical conditions. If you cannot meet the conditions, the orphanage will not let you adopt.
After all, you can't meet the financial conditions, so why should you raise this orphan?
Your physical condition is not up to par. What if you die after adopting an orphan?
It is better to let these orphans stay in the orphanage and receive better education and treatment!
However, Old Newcastle was chosen by Huygens, so he certainly met the conditions!
In terms of finance, the old Newcastle is single and usually delivers food to the palace, so he can get a lot of salary every month!
And his usual hobbies were drinking, dancing, and singing, which didn't cost much, so he saved a large sum of money in the bank.
In terms of health, although there are constant minor illnesses, there are no serious ones. I am very healthy and will have no problem living for another twenty or thirty years. If I am lucky, I will have no problem living to be a hundred years old.
Old Newcastle arrived at the Third Hospital with ease.
Although the Third Hospital is said to be an orphanage, it is not like the scary and spooky orphanage in movies such as Orphans and The Alone.
The orphanage consists of three parts, all of which are bright and spacious places.
There is a huge playground, which is filled with various amusement toys and fitness equipment. It is a place for orphans to play and exercise. The edges of the playground are also filled with green trees and flowers, which looks full of spring.
In a five-story dormitory building, the first floor is the cafeteria, and the second to fifth floors are the dormitories and bathrooms. Normally, there are dedicated teachers to manage the order here.
A five-story teaching building, one of which is the kindergarten, the second to fourth floors are where grades one to six are located, and the fifth floor is where the orphanage staff work!
Grades one to six are compulsory education at St. Martin's. After completing the studies, those who study well will enter the newly established St. Martin's Middle School for three years of advanced study. Those who study averagely or poorly will be assigned to various workshops to become students.
Apprentice, learn a craft in which you can survive.
Until they reach the age of sixteen, the orphans will enter the resettlement house in the Kingdom of Saint Martin and start an independent life!
After entering the Third Hospital, Lao Newcastle took a familiar route to the vice-president's office on the top floor of the teaching building.
The unified dean of all the orphanages in St. Martin is Princess Satomi Ishihara, but usually they are managed by the deputy dean. Ishihara Rimi is only responsible for giving gifts and care to the children during holidays!
"Boom!"
"Come in!"
A kind voice came from the office.
Hearing the sound, Old Newcastle opened the door directly and went in!
"It's Old Newcastle! Are everything ready?" Maeda Mariko looked up and after confirming the person, she said kindly.
Maeda Mariko is an old man over sixty years old, wearing a kimono, with a kind face and silver hair in a bun.
Originally a descendant of a nobleman from the city of St. Martin, he married once. After his husband died of illness, he never remarried. He was childless throughout his life, but he adopted many orphans. Later, after Arthur came to power, the orphanage was established.
Invited her to become the director of the orphanage.
"Everything is ready!" Old Newcastle smiled and handed over the various certificates in his hand.
Maeda Mariko took it over carefully and nodded with satisfaction, but she still picked up the phone at hand and dialed the numbers of the bank, security team, and hospital one by one, and checked them carefully.
After a while, she put down the phone in her hand.
"Okay, no problem!" Maeda Mariko smiled slightly, then stood up and walked towards the door, saying, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the little girl you like!"
"Yeah!" Old Newcastle nodded and followed.
Today is Saturday, so there are no classes in the orphanage. The orphans are active in the playground or sleeping in the dormitory.
Old Newcastle and Maeda Mariko walked down the teaching building, passed by the playground, and came to the dormitory.
"Who is that person? Why do you want to adopt him the first time you come here?"
"Yes! Don't those people who come to adopt have to observe them for a few days first?"
"I know that person. He is the old Newcastle who delivers food to the palace. I talked to him last time when the teacher took us out to play!"
"Then which one is he going to adopt?"
"I don't know! Normally, the dean would say it in advance. Why is it so sudden today?"
...
A group of orphans on the playground watched this scene and started talking.
Orphans are naturally more sensitive about adoption.
They know who is here for the first time and who has been observing them for a few days.
Under normal circumstances, when the adoption stage has not yet entered, at most the teachers and administrators will take the adopters around and observe the orphans. Only when the adoption stage is reached, the dean will accompany them!
Under the leadership of Maeda Mariko, Old Newcastle arrived at the innermost room on the fifth floor of the dormitory.
"Boom!"
"Creak!"
The door opened instantly!
This is a standard six-person room, with six five-year-old girls of the same age living in it.
"Ah...it's Grandma Dean!"
"Grandma Dean!"
"Dean!"
...
As soon as they saw Maeda Mariko, five little girls who were playing in the dormitory rushed towards him with smiles on their faces.
Only a little blond girl in the far corner was sitting on the bed, leaning against the wall with her legs bent, reading quietly. The arrival of Maeda Mariko only made her look up, and then she continued to read with her head down.
After comforting the five little girls, Maeda Mari pointed at old Newcastle and said to the little girl in the corner: "Kalifa, he wants to be your adoptee, are you willing?"
