Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

Safe and sound, smooth and successful, those words carried Director Lin’s blessings for all the children.

Before entering the next room, Feng Qingxue suddenly heard a voice reading, very softly, almost like mumbling, the content was a selection of poems by leaders.

Following the sound, they saw a very thin young boy in the corner with his back to them, facing the wall, mumbling to himself.

He recited poetry while tracing imaginary lines on the wall with his hand.

Noticing the gaze of Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue, Director Lin sighed, "His name is Wang Zhao, he’s fifteen years old. He’s been particularly smart since childhood. Whenever I taught the kids to recognize characters, he was always the first to remember. I taught them to recite quotes and poems, and he could memorize them after hearing them a few times. I know he’s determined to go to school, but our orphanage has always been financially strapped. Last year, if it weren’t for the support of two leaders, we wouldn’t even have been able to afford food. I don’t dare to let him go to school, if he does, how could the other children who don’t get to go be willing? I can only try to teach him more of what I know."

Feng Qingxue noticed something unusual, "This child’s surname is Wang?" Wasn’t it said that boys’ surnames are Guo and girls’ surnames are Dang?

Director Lin nodded, murmuring, "Oh, you mean this, this child came to the orphanage at seven years old, his original surname was Wang, he’s called Wang Zhao, he has a background, so we didn’t change his surname."

"What’s his background?" Feng Qingxue asked.

"His father, Wang Rong, was a retired soldier. Eight years ago, he rescued someone and sacrificed himself. Wang Zhao’s mother was arranged by her family to remarry. Her new husband couldn’t support Wang Zhao, so he was sent to the orphanage," Director Lin’s eyes showed a hint of compassion, "Wang Zhao attended school. His father always told him that knowledge is everything, that he must study well and improve every day, so he works very hard. He’s also very sensible. He often does small jobs like making paper boxes to earn money and gives it to me."

Lu Jiang frowned, remembering Guan Cheng’s biological mother.
