Chapter 209: The Dean's Phone
The boy ate a big pot of rice in the orphanage, and it would be good to occasionally see meat in the dish, where would there be such a large fat cow treatment. He took the fat cow and dipped it in a little sauce and ate it into his mouth, and suddenly a pair of eyes lit up.
"Brother, is this also beef, why is it so delicious?" The little boy had still eaten beef, but it was just some diced meat mixed with the dish, and neither the taste nor the material could be compared with the fat cow in the hot pot restaurant.
Lin Yu raised a smile, "Eat more if it's delicious, and try this quail egg too, it can give you nutrition..."
The meal didn't end until noon, and Lin Yu basically kept the little boy's bowl with vegetables, but he didn't eat anything. However, seeing that the little boy had eaten so much, Lin Yu was also satisfied. In order to help digestion, after eating the hot pot, Lin Yu took the little boy to wander around the campus, anyway, today is Saturday, and he has nothing to do.
Halfway through the walk, Lin Yu suddenly received a call from the director of the orphanage, he had already informed the director yesterday that the little boy would not go back until tonight, and he didn't know why the director called so quickly.
"Xiao Yu, I'm Dean Chen, where are you now?" Lin Yu had just connected, and he heard the dean's eager voice.
Lin Yu had already briefly talked about the little boy yesterday, including that the boy won the championship, but fainted during the competition due to physical exhaustion, so the boy had to stay in the Yangcheng University Hospital for one night, and if the situation was good tomorrow, he would be sent back to the welfare home. The dean only briefly inquired about the boy's situation, and didn't say anything more, and asked Lin Yu twice in a row about the boy's winning the championship before it seemed to be finally confirmed.
From this point, it can also be seen that the dean cares more about the honor won by the little boy than the physical condition of the little boy, after all, the welfare home he manages can also be stained. Just like now, the first thing the dean asked was not whether the little boys' bodies were getting better today, but where they were.
"We are in Yangcheng University, take a walk..."Lin Yu still replied patiently, although the other party did not ask, Lin Yu still told the dean through the word "walk" that the little boy's body is now fine.
"Oh, that's right," the director replied on the phone, "Now some parents have come to our orphanage, and after reading today's report, they want to get to know the oranges, and if appropriate, they want to take them away from the orphanage." ”
Orange is the boy's nickname, because he is often associated with the orange tree, so it is a natural name. Hearing this, Lin Yu knew the purpose of the dean's call, it turned out that the news of the boy winning the Yangcheng championship was on the Yangcheng Daily, and many people learned that his identity was an orphan and he was still living in an orphanage, so he had the idea of wanting to adopt. However, before adopting, they also need to confirm whether the little boy is healthy and whether he is really terminally ill as reported in the newspapers.
Hanging up the phone, seeing that the little boy next to him could finally enter a normal family, and the old dean's wish was finally realized, Lin Yu was not as happy as he imagined, he had a feeling that he wanted to send away his favorite things.
"Brother, is it the dean's call, does he want me to go back?" said the little boy with clear eyes, not knowing what was happening.
Lin Yu sighed slightly, he took the boy's hand and said casually, "It's nothing, let's continue walking, maybe, there will be no chance in the future..."
Lin Yu and the little boy spent another forty minutes to finish the remaining half, Lin Yu behaved very dull on this journey, he unconsciously found that he and the little boy had established a relationship that was similar to family affection beyond friends, thinking that the child would enter someone else's family in the future, and having a pair of strange parents, Lin Yu had a lot of reluctance in his heart.
The little boy's performance is just the opposite of Lin Yu, maybe because he won the championship in Yangcheng City, and most of the goals in his heart have been achieved, so he feels more relaxed, or maybe because there is still a month before the national competition, the little boy can finally take a good breath, he seems to be a lot more lively than usual along the way, and constantly imagines the scene of going to the national finals.
"Brother, isn't the capital a very prosperous place, even more prosperous than our Yangcheng?" The venue for the finals was held in the capital of China, which provided accommodation, food and transportation for all the contestants across the country, and now the little boy was full of curiosity about the unknown city.
"The capital is far from us, how are we going to get there, by train, by ship, or by plane?"
"I saw on TV that there is a Tiananmen Square in the capital, and the flag-raising ceremony there is particularly beautiful, brother, let's go and see it together, okay?"
“......”
No matter what the boy said, Lin Yu could only nod his head in response, who would accompany him to the national competition in a month, Lin Yu had no choice in his heart.
Walking out of the gate of the university, Lin Yu took a taxi and took the little boy back to the orphanage, the person who wanted to adopt him should still be waiting in the orphanage, I don't know what kind of family they will be.
Lin Yu heard the old dean say that when he was still there, in fact, there were often some infertile couples who wanted to adopt children, and they would write their information clearly to apply to the orphanage, and after the orphanage reviewed, the staff would take these couples to contact the children, and once they had a suitable choice, they would go through legal procedures to let them take the children home.
In this process, usually the child is the chosen party, because from the perspective of both the child and the orphanage, it is hoped that more orphans can live in a normal family, so as long as the couple who applies is willing to adopt, the orphanage will generally not refuse.
As one of them, the little boy has of course had the opportunity to be adopted, in fact, he at least looks much more normal than the other children from the outside, so the old dean thought that the probability of the little boy being adopted is very high.
But later, the old dean gradually discovered that the little boy's extreme behavior was revealed in front of strange couples, and he even once poured a cup of hot tea on the head of the man who wanted to adopt him, so the little boy was never successfully adopted, and his age gradually exceeded the most suitable age range for adoption.
The old dean originally planned to wait for the little boy's behavior to be corrected by himself, and then find a good family for him. It's just that he left ahead of schedule before that day, and now this task has fallen to Lin Yu's head.
