This is an orphanage on the outskirts of the city. It is very remote and desolate, with no human beings around. It is summer vacation, and the cicadas in the forest are screaming heartbreakingly, making the locals upset for no reason.

But the hot air and the noisy cicadas seemed not to affect the thin figure in the orphanage at all. She was only about one and a half meters tall, with a dark and thin face, but her eyes were transparent.

He shows a certain calmness that is different from his peers.

At this moment, she was staring intently at the admission notice in her hand. This was the admission notice from the No. 1 Middle School in the city. Jiang Chan had just finished her high school entrance examination and was admitted to the No. 1 middle school.

Looking at the bright admission notice, Jiang Chan's eyes were very calm. The dean opposite looked unbearable: "Jiang Chan, there is nothing we can do in the hospital. It is already very difficult to raise children like you, and the orphanage is long.

No one donated money or materials this year..."

"Dean, I understand." Jiang Chan stopped the dean, "I'm very grateful to you for allowing me to finish junior high school. I will figure out my own way to study further."

Although it is a nine-year compulsory education, apart from tuition and book fees, what other food expenses do not require money? Therefore, Jiang Chan can understand the dean's difficulties.

Besides, even if she was really lucky enough to be admitted to the Universiade, she never thought about asking the hospital to provide money for her to study. The hospital itself was already in very difficult conditions, and she couldn't make matters worse.

Jiang Chan pursed her lips tightly and picked up the notice: "I'm going back to my room first. Don't worry too much about it. I will take care of the tuition myself and go out to work during the summer vacation."

The dean hesitated to speak. When he saw Jiang Chan's insistent face, he sighed helplessly: "You kid just accepts death. Okay, you go to the room first. If you can really think of a way, I won't

Will stop you."

Jiang Chan nodded: "I know, Dean, children like us can only rely on ourselves. You have been able to protect me for so many years. I am really grateful to you."

The dean waved her hand and watched Jiang Chan disappear into the courtyard. She sighed and shook the cattail leaf fan in her hand. It was obvious that she was very conflicted about letting Jiang Chan give up her studies.

The camera turns to the director, who is in her sixties. She came to this orphanage when she was young and dedicated her youth to this orphanage.

She regarded every child in the courtyard as her own, and if she could send them to school, she would try her best to satisfy them. Although she didn't read much, she knew the truth that knowledge can change destiny.

Jiang Chan is a girl she likes very much. She is one of the few children in the hospital with sound hands and feet and no physical defects. She is also very hard-working and motivated.

This child also goes out to do odd jobs while studying. Otherwise, according to her intelligence, she would have entered the city's No. 1 Middle School with a full scholarship. How could she be ranked at the bottom of the list?

The dean wiped her eyes. She really had no choice. The orphanage needed to be run. The tuition fees for key high schools were already very high, and the orphanage really couldn't afford it.

Now she can only hope that Jiang Chan can really raise enough money for high school tuition in the hospital, otherwise she will have nothing to do. The dean is already thinking about whether to call the previous sponsors again.

The child Jiang Chan has a hard life. Like the children in the orphanage, they basically have some kind of physical defects. But Jiang Chan is not. She is very healthy. I don’t know what kind of people put her in the orphanage.

At the entrance of the courtyard.

The dean still remembers that when he first picked up Jiang Chan, he was a small ball, well-dressed, and had a cicada-shaped pendant hanging around his neck, which looked pretty good.

Since the family seemed to be in a good situation, why would they put such a child in an orphanage? The director did not dare to think about the causes and consequences, but just told Jiang Chan to take good care of the pendant, as it might be of great use in the future.

When Jiang Chan returned to the room, she was not as calm as she had been in front of the dean. Jiang Chan carefully placed the admission notice in the small cabinet and locked it with a lock, just to worry about naughty children.

Will turn to it accidentally.

As the eldest child in the hospital, although Jiang Chan didn't think anyone would dare to come to her room, she took precautions.

She was lying on her back on a small bed less than one meter long. The iron bed made a squeaking sound, which was unreasonably annoying in this hot afternoon. Jiang Chan stared at the ceiling, thinking about how to survive in this limited space.

Earn high school tuition fees every month.

In fact, according to her grades, she shouldn't be able to get only such a score, but she is usually busy with part-time work, so she inevitably spends a lot less time studying. Now that she got such a score, she can't blame others.

Jiang Chan put her hands on her eyes, thinking about where she should go to work tomorrow. She was only fourteen years old now. If the dean hadn't lied about her age, she wouldn't have been able to study at all.

So now Jiang Chan's age on her ID card is sixteen. This age is a bit embarrassing, she is not yet an adult. People really don't dare to hire her for ordinary jobs, for fear of being accused of employing child labor again.

After a long time, a vague voice came from the room: "Oh, a penny can't kill a hero!"

She touched the cicada-shaped pendant on her chest and calmed down. How about going to Uncle Mo's restaurant tomorrow? Although Uncle Mo's restaurant didn't make much money, it was still better than not coming at all.

After deciding on this idea, Jiang Chan took out a pen and paper and started planning step by step...

The next day, the genius was bright, and Jiang Chan got up early, tidied up, and put on her latest piece of clothing, which was donated by a kind person last year.

It's just that no matter how new the clothes are, they will inevitably fade and deform after a long period of washing. Now they can only be said to be clean. Jiang Chan pursed her lips, hoping that besides going to Uncle Mo's restaurant today, she could also be in the clothes.

Find a job elsewhere.

The breakfast at the orphanage was very simple, consisting of white rice porridge and cucumbers grown in the courtyard, mixed with some salt. Jiang Chan drank the porridge without raising her head. The director looked at Jiang Chan's dress and sighed silently.

A little boy about six years old walked to Jiang Chan's legs: "Sister, where are you going today?"

This child was born with a cleft lip. It was obviously just a minor operation, but the hospital's funds were really tight and there was no ability to do it. The dean could only hope that there would be support from kind-hearted people in the future to allow An An to do it.
