Chapter 155: A Cottage in the Suburbs

With the old dean as a human friend, the boy's behavior has indeed been much more restrained, and he has been caught by the staff playing pranks less and less, and this obvious change has even been noticed by the aunt who is in charge of cleaning.

"Dean, the little devil seems to have changed his personality recently, and he took the initiative to pour a bucket of water for me to wash the mop yesterday morning," Aunt Clean's face was full of incomprehension when she said this. She is the innocent person who was deliberately tripped by the little boy and lay in the hospital for a month, so until now, whenever the little boy passes by her, Aunt Cleaning has a feeling of fear, for fear that the little devil will repeat her old tricks.

But just yesterday, the little devil actually showed a very polite smile on her face, seeing that it was inconvenient for her to go to the men's bathroom to pour water, and she extended a helping hand without saying a word, which really surprised the cleaning aunt. Even though the little devil helped her, he didn't make any out-of-the-ordinary gestures to her, and watching the other party walk away from under his nose, Aunt Clean's back still felt cold.

The old dean smiled knowingly, "Isn't this a good thing, we will have a lot less trouble in the future," the old dean said as if he had expected it.

Aunt Cleaning nodded on the surface, but she didn't think so at all in her heart, she had already decided that the child had a very bad mind, and it was impossible for such a big change to happen suddenly, maybe there was something planned behind it.

Aunt Clean walked out of the dean's office, she wouldn't let her guard down on the little devil anyway, because the lesson of breaking her leg was too painful, and she didn't want to take it lightly and suffer at the hands of the little devil again.

Of course, the old dean knew that the little boy had changed a lot during this time, and this was exactly the purpose of his efforts to be friends with the little boy, only by opening the little boy's heart and caring for him like an ordinary child to understand him, maybe the boy's behavior deviation could be gradually corrected. Happily, the old dean had already seen this in the boy.

The old dean felt that he should make persistent efforts to give the boy more care, and even let him feel the warmth of home. So on one Sunday, the old dean gave himself a day off, and at the same time took the little boy to his place in the suburbs.

It is a suburb with mountains and rivers and large green plants, and the old dean is a native of Yangcheng, who has lived in this quiet and beautiful place for generations. The old dean has a separate house here, with a field of flowers and plants in front of the house, and a vegetable patch in the back that he has cultivated.

The rectangular vegetable field is full of all kinds of green vegetables, they are full of vitality under the careful care of the old dean, the old dean will often pick some fresh vegetables here and take them to the welfare home, he thinks that his vegetables are not sprinkled with pesticides, so the children will definitely eat it will be better for the body.

"You see, this one looks like a carrot, and I brought it from here what you ate the night before," said the old dean, who took the little boy into his garden, and began to teach him how to recognize some of the vegetables.

The little boy naturally didn't know that carrots grew in the ground like this, he learned the old dean's movements, grabbed the leaves on the carrot with both hands, and then pulled it up with all his strength, and the whole bright red carrot broke through the ground, and the little boy also sat down on the ground. He looked at the carrot in his hand, and a childlike laugh came out of his mouth.

The old dean suddenly felt a little stunned when he saw the boy's appearance, at this moment he forgot the identity of the boy, not an orphan abandoned by his parents and suffering from mental disorders, but an ordinary, cute and innocent child, the old dean wanted to record this moment forever...

They picked some vegetables in other vegetable fields, and an old man and a child naturally couldn't eat much, and the old dean felt that the ingredients were almost ready, so he walked out of the vegetable field with the little boy.

The old dean put all the vegetables in the kitchen sink, the little boy took the initiative to wash the vegetables very sensibly, he washed the soil on the carrots, while looking at the old dean's slightly deserted home, the little boy suddenly asked, "Are you the only one in the family, what about your sons and daughters?"

The old dean didn't expect the boy to care about his own life, he washed some cooking utensils next to him and said, "My son and daughter are all working in other places, and my wife also left a few years ago, so I am the only one in this family now." Although the old dean said it easily, he still couldn't hide a lonely look on his face.

The little boy groaned, and then fell into a state of silence, as if thinking about something. After the vegetables were washed and the old dean's cooking tools were ready, he saw that it was still early for lunch, so he proposed to go fishing in the creek at the foot of the mountain.

The child's nature is to love to play, naturally like fishing this new thing, the little boy followed the old dean all the way, the two of them turned a few corners on the mountain path, after a long downhill road, the sound of the murmuring stream was heard in the distance.

The creek is rare and unpolluted, the water is crystal clear, and the pebbles and aquatic plants can be seen clearly through the water. There are no big fish in the creek, and occasionally a few finger-long fish can be seen swimming in the water, but the old dean once caught a pound of crucian carp here, so he plans to try his luck here today, and maybe add a dish to the little boy.

The old dean put some bait on the hook and threw it on the water a little deeper in the distance, and the little boy next to him was at first interested, but then he got a little bored waiting, after all, most of the fishing time was just sitting quietly.

The little boy began to amuse himself by taking off his shoes, rolling up his trousers to his knees, and jumping into the stream with a thud.

"Wow, the water here is so cold!" exclaimed the boy as soon as he stepped out of the water, and he could clearly see his toes through the water, and the water flowed slowly over his legs like a gentle palm.

The old dean naturally knew that all that flowed out of this stream was mountain water, so the water quality was particularly clear and cold, and the fish in it would become very delicious after simple firing.

"Look carefully at your feet, don't step on any sharp stones, or the soles of your feet will be scratched again," the old dean hurriedly reminded the boy when he saw the boy walking in the water.
