Chapter 356： New Tuvalu is a great place!

Larry is eleven and a half years old this year. When he was just born, he was abandoned by his parents at the gate of the hospital.

He doesn't blame his parents because he hates them.

After living in the orphanage for eight years, Larry, who just remembered, escaped from the orphanage because their director was going to sell him and some orphans who were about his age to a drug trafficking organization.

Although Larry is only eight years old, he clearly knows what it is like to live in a drug trafficking organization. In other words, most people in his country are no strangers to the term drug trafficking organization. There are even many people who are themselves members of such organizations.

Brazil's drug trafficking organization is world-renowned.

Similarly, Brazil's slums are also world-renowned.

Larry couldn't remember how in the three years after he escaped from the orphanage, he lingered in various garbage dumps and slums, relying on begging, scavenging, and even stealing to survive.

When he was eleven years old, he met a foreigner who came to work in Brazil, and that foreigner extended a pair of warm hands to him.

In fact, in the previous three years of life, he had not encountered such a situation, but most of the time, he chose to refuse. Not because he likes the wandering life, but because he is afraid of leaving a familiar place.

However, this time, he accidentally chose to accept it.

In half a year, Larry felt what warmth is and what is normal life. However, it seems that fate likes to play tricks on him, let him enjoy the paradise life for half a year, but the foreigner has to leave Brazil because of job transfer.

Because countries have more and more requirements for foreigners to adopt their own country's orphans, the foreigner who helped Larry could not meet the conditions for adopting Larry, so he had no way to leave Brazil with Larry.

And if Larry was left in Brazil, without anyone to discipline him, the foreigner was very worried that Larry would return to his previous life.

As for sending Larry to some welfare institution? After listening to Larry's description of some orphanages, the foreigner completely dismissed the idea.

Just when they were at a loss, the foreigner cheered because of some news.

Larry clearly remembered when he heard the foreigner say, "I found you a good place."

How good is the good place?

Larry still couldn't believe that there was no place in the world that could be better than staying with that foreigner.

A week later, Larry was sent to a welfare institution by the foreigner. If he hadn't seen with his own eyes that the foreigner gave some money to the people in the welfare institution, he would even have thought that the foreigner had sold him to the welfare institution.

After staying in the orphanage for two days, when Larry was already preparing to flee again, he was put in a car, then went to the airport, and arrived in a country called New Zealand. After that, he was sent to a big ship.

On the boat, he saw many orphans like him. Compared with those orphans, his age was considered older.

On the way, he hardly ate anything, because there was no one to feed him. And after arriving on this ship, he found countless snacks for them to enjoy as they wish.

"Is this the so-called good place?"

Larry felt that it would be a very good thing if he could live on this ship all his life.

But it didn't take long for him to be happy, and he was called out by the adults on the boat, and then he got off the boat one by one, took the car again, and came to a place similar to a school.

"New Tuvalu Royal Primary School?"

This was what Larry had heard other people call this place, and some people called this place the Primary School of the New Tuvalu Royal School.

Under the guidance of others, Larry walked through the beautiful teaching building, through the huge playground, and into a building called a dormitory building.

In a spacious and bright room, ten wooden beds are arranged neatly, and each bed is covered with sheets and bedding that look very warm. On the right side of the door, there is a small door. An adult said that there is a place for washing and going to the toilet.

Many children have the urge to rush to bed and make a fuss, but Larry stood by the door very cautiously.

"This is your student ID card!" Someone handed Larry a small sign tied with a rope, and said, "Did you see the number on it? Among the mantissas, 2 refers to the second dormitory, and 3 refers to the The third unit, 4 refers to the fourth floor, and 7 refers to room No. 7. The bed with your name on it belongs to you. By the way, do you know Arabic numerals?"

"I know!" Larry took the small sign called student ID, walked to the wooden bed with Larry on it, and remembered his miserable life in the orphanage. Because the name Larry was given to him by people from the orphanage.

An adult clapped his hands, and after attracting the attention of twenty children in this room, he said, "Everyone can take a look at the lockers under the bed. There are new clothes, new shoes, and toiletries prepared for you. You can Go to the bathroom and take a shower first, then change into these clothes and shoes."

Like other children, Larry couldn't help but sat on the floor beside the bed, and then saw the new shoes on a shelf under the bed, and opened a closet next to it, and they could see several set of clothes.

"It's really new." A child cheered and eagerly took out the clothes.

Larry looked at the clothes on his body, and thought of the foreigner who helped him, and he didn't want to change it.

The adult came to Larry's side, and Larry was a little nervous. He thought the man wanted to force him to change his clothes.

"Larry?" The man bent down and said, "You are the oldest in this dormitory, so you will be the head of this dormitory."

"Director?" Larry asked suspiciously. For him, as long as he is not forced to change clothes, it will be fine.

"Yes, you are responsible for the safety of the other children in this room. If there is any problem with other children in the future, you must press this button on the bedside in time."

Larry looked at the red button beside the bed and asked, "What happens when I press it?"

"There will be a teacher on duty coming to help you."

"Teacher on duty?" Larry asked, "Is it the same as those aunts in the orphanage?"

"Almost, but they will educate you during the day."

…

After spending half an hour familiarizing themselves with the situation, many children had changed into new clothes and shoes, and stood there in good spirits.

A burst of pleasant music sounded, and the adults who were in charge of arranging them before began to guide them downstairs one by one.

Many children are reluctant to leave their own beds, but when they hear that they are going to eat delicious food, they temporarily give up their nostalgic beds.

After coming out of the dormitory building, they walked into a circular building next to the playground. As soon as they entered the door, Larry smelled the fragrance of food.

Someone guided them to line up according to age and nationality, and then walked through a row of windows one by one. Many orphans are not unfamiliar with the situation of taking dinner plates and cooking, but they are very surprised by the food they get.

"Is this milk?"

"Very delicious bread!"

"I love this green salad."

"I love steamed stuffed buns the most. This one looks even better than last year's one from the orphanage."

…

Hundreds of food types, distributed by the nutritionists of the New Tuvalu Royal School, let the orphans from different countries feel the familiar taste.

When Larry was about to eat, he noticed that a person was slowly walking towards him, and behind him were many adults.

"Hello, kid."

Larry, who was wolfing down his food, didn't expect that the person just now stood beside him. He raised his head quickly, with a puzzled look on his face.

"How do you feel when you come to New Tuvalu?" Li Daniu kept smiling and asked a question that made the people behind him couldn't help but giggle.

How does it feel to ask an eleven-year-old?

You are sick!

Larry, who was much precocious compared to the average 11-year-old , noticed that many people behind him fell silent when this man asked questions.

"Can we eat so much delicious food every day?" Larry asked cautiously.

"Of course, you are growing up, how can you be so hungry?" Li Daniu replied with a smile: "And, the food every day in the future will be as delicious as today's."

Larry asked again: "Then can I stay here forever?"

"Of course not." Li Daniu joked, "You still need to go back to the dormitory to sleep and go to the classroom to study. How can you stay in the cafeteria every day?"

Larry understood Li Daniu's words. He wanted to go to school like other children a long time ago, but he never had the chance. Even when he was adopted by that well-meaning foreigner, there was no way for him to go to school because of the incomplete adoption procedures.

"Then I think it's very good here, um... New... Tuvalu, it's a good place!" (.)
