Chapter 20: Dean's Mother

Xiao Zheng took Qi An's hand and continued to walk towards the orphanage.

When the children in the orphanage saw Li Zheng, they followed behind and shouted in a milky voice, Brother Xiao Zheng is here, Brother Xiao Zheng is here.

The dean's mother heard the voice and walked out of the office.

She was old, her body became rickety, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were deeply engraved on her face, and her clear eyes became cloudy.

Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Mom, look who this is." ”

The dean's mother squinted and put on the reading glasses around her neck.

"Xiaotian?!Is it my Xiaotian?!" said the dean's mother excitedly.

After Qi An left, the dean was sick for a long time, and he couldn't slow down. I have to look for Xiaotian every day. The other staff of the orphanage were afraid that the director would commit the taboo of not being able to see the adopted child, so they canceled the information of Xiaotian's adoptive parents.

Qi An saw that the dean's mother still remembered herself, and she was embarrassed for a while, so she hugged the dean and cried.

"My child, why don't you come back to see your mother!" cried the dean.

After such a long time, Qi An finally had the opportunity to call out those two words again, "Mom." ”

After Qi An's mother called out, the two of them became even more emotional. Qi An kept repeating, Mom, Mom, Mom. Xiao Zheng was infected by this atmosphere and also shed tears.

The children heard the voice and came around, and the milky voice corrected, "It's not Mommy, it's Grandma."

"My dean's mother is not old at all, so she is not allowed to call grandma. Xiao Zheng picked up one of the children and chased and played with them. Qi An hugged the dean's mother tightly and refused to let go.

"I'm sorry Mom, I should have come back a long time ago. ”

Xiao Zheng was playing with a group of children outside, Qi An was lying on the lap of the dean's mother, and she gently picked Qi An's ears. Qi An told the dean's mother about his life over the years, his adoptive mother, Chen Sheng, Sheng Gongzi, and Luo Yumei.

Qi An has never said so many words in one breath in his life, the mother and daughter cry for a while, laugh for a while, sigh for a while, and cry for a while.

For a whole afternoon, Qi An kept talking, and the dean kept listening.

When it was time for dinner, Xiao Zheng knocked on the door and called the two of them to eat. The dean held Qi An in his left hand and Xiao Zheng in his right hand, just like fifteen years ago.

For the dean, there is no Wang Zheng, no Chen Qi'an, only Zhang Chun and Li Xiaotian, and only the children she loved the most.

After dinner, the dean took Qi An and Xiao Zheng to tell everyone fairy tales in the small classroom. The dean was the same as before, and the story was told in a colorful way, and the children were fascinated by it.

Xiao Zheng was next to the dean to help the children perform, the dean said that a big bad wolf was coming, Xiao Zheng learned to look like a wolf, and walked with his teeth open. The dean said that a sheep was coming, and Xiao Zheng bleated on the ground and pretended to be a sheep eating grass. The children liked Brother Xiaozheng's performance very much, and they also learned it one after another. Later, the whole classroom was a scene of wolves dancing wildly, everyone surrounded Xiao Zheng, and they refused to admit defeat and let Xiao Zheng choose the person who was most similar to Xue.

Qi An leaned next to the dean, quietly looking at Xiao Zheng, who was surrounded by children, and felt very happy.

Late at night, when it was time for the children to go to bed, they reluctantly said goodbye to their little political brother. Xiao Zheng called Luo Yumei and told her that he and Qi An had been playing all night with their classmates at night, so there was no need to wait for them.

Luo Yumei disagreed at first, and kept nagging on the other end of the phone, and only after Li Zheng repeatedly assured her safety did Luo Yumei hang up the phone.

"People at this age are very sensitive, and I don't tell her every time I come here, for fear that she will be sad. Xiao Zheng explained to Qi An.

"Why didn't you tell me before. Qi An complained.

"What did you say?" Xiao Zheng smiled warmly.

"Say you're an orphan, say you're my watermelon-headed brother. Qi An's heart hurt when he said the word "orphan". She thought that Xiao Zheng must have had a particularly good childhood for such a sunny person. As a result, it was the same as her.

"There's not much to say. I'm not an orphan now, I have two mothers. Xiao Zheng refers to Luo Yumei and the dean.

Qi An looked down at his feet and apologized seriously, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so willful to you before." ”

"Silly little boy, I'm sorry for what you say. Xiao Zheng pinched Qi An's cheek.

While sleeping, the dean insisted that Qi An and Xiao Zheng sleep on either side of him as they did when they were children. The two obediently listened to the dean's words. Qi An hugged the dean, smelled the laundry detergent on her body, and babbled to Qi An and Xiao Zheng about their lives after they left.

"When I was younger, I felt pitiful for orphans. Despite the opposition of his family, he gave up his graduate school and came to work in an orphanage. Within two years, I met my ex-husband after being introduced and had a child. I couldn't take care of my family, so I worked in an orphanage every day. He blamed me and asked me to quit my job and teach my husband and children at home, but I couldn't bear the children. My husband divorced me in a fit of rage. He soon remarried after the divorce and moved to Melbourne with his children. I watched over my orphanage every day, and then I simply lived here completely. In the orphanage, each child's situation is very special, and their hearts are particularly fragile, so you must let them feel your love in order to grow up healthily. I treat each child as my own flesh and blood, and every time I want them to be adopted and live well, I hope they will stay with me forever. You two little things have been by my side for the longest time, Xiaotian is almost three years, and Xiaozheng is a full seven years. I wanted to adopt Xiao Zheng at that time, but I was single, and all the conditions were not up to standard, and I didn't have the money to do surgery on Xiao Zheng. The year Xiao Tian left, I could only watch Xiao Zheng being adopted by that doctor. I couldn't stand this feeling anymore, quit my job, and played around. It took me two years and I spent all my savings. Slowly figuring it out, I adjusted my mindset and continued to work in the orphanage. I can't leave here, and I can't do without here", the dean said and glanced at Qi An, Qi An was so tired that he had already fallen asleep holding the dean's arm. The dean kissed Qi An's forehead, and turned to look like Xiao Zheng, who looked at the ceiling with his eyes open, looking preoccupied.

What a smart woman the dean is, she understood when she saw Xiao Zheng's eyes looking at Qi An.

"Silly boy, I like a person and I can't hold it in my heart. You're twenty years old, and you can take on the responsibility of love. The dean said to Xiao Zheng.

"Mom, you don't know, he's the daughter of my mom's current fiancΓ©. If they get married, Xiao Tian will be my sister. Moreover, she seems to have a boyfriend at school......" Xiao Zheng sighed.

"Chun'er, you are the kindest and most responsible boy my mother has ever seen. You don't have to think about other people, you just answer your mother with one sentence. ”

"What?"

"Do you really like Xiaotian?"
