The orphanage is too small, so in order to make everyone who wants to do their part have the power to do their part, the school has arranged a donation box in the classroom.

The old dean repeatedly said words of thanks to the school leaders.

Lin Yi knew that he didn't have much time left, so he walked directly to the red donation box on the podium.

"Thank you."

The old dean standing next to him bowed deeply to Lin Yi, and Lin Yi hurriedly stuffed the yellowed paper bag into the donation box, and then helped the old dean up.

For this old man who has dedicated his life to the group of children in the audience, Lin Yi really can't say anything if he puts up a shelf.

"That's what I'm supposed to do, get up."

"That's your daughter, isn't she?"

Lin pulled Connor to his side and said to the old dean, "Well, she was adopted by me." ”

Speaking of age, Lin Yi's age is really not as old as Kang Na, of course, the psychological age is not counted at all, and Kang Na's actual age is definitely over 10,000 levels.

Connor greeted the old dean very respectfully, and with the blessing of the essence of the play, others couldn't see any clues at all.

The event lasted for a short time, and Lin Yiyi brought Connor out of the orphanage.

The donations raised this time were enough for the old dean to last for a while.

No matter how bad it is, she can still have time to find a good successor, she has spent most of her life in the orphanage, and she must not let that woman succeed.

Beneath the cloudiness of the gaze is a pure heart.

The children in the orphanage also knew the importance of this event, and they sat quietly in their seats.

Watching batch after batch of parents arrive.

The school teachers will wait for all the students to return to school.

Afternoon.

Lin Yi followed the school bus back to the city.

Connor didn't have to continue classes in the afternoon.

"Lin Yi, are those children the same as mine?"

Originally, Kang Na's words were relatively few, and only at this time could she not help but ask Lin Yi questions.

Lin Yi walked beside her, and it was about ten minutes' walk from this street to the mansion.

Under the scorching summer sun, the warm current blown by the wind carries a wave of heat to every pedestrian or vehicle passing by.

The temperature is estimated to have reached more than 30 degrees.

Even Connor was wearing a thin short-sleeved shirt today, and the brightly colored bag behind her reflected the sun's rays and refracted the pavement in the shadows on the side.

"Do you think it's hot right now?"

Lin Yi did not directly answer Connor's question, but asked a very realistic question.

Connor shook her neckline, trying to cool herself down with the flapping collar.

"It's very hot!"

"Then hurry up and go home, when you go back, it will be cool."

The mansion seems to be ordinary, but in fact, there is an enchantment arranged by Lin Yi, and after entering the door, a chill instantly replaces the feeling of dryness.

Connor knew that Lin Yi didn't want to talk about that kind of problem, and he didn't force it.

Eluma's prototype is an Indian dragon, and this high temperature still can't affect her, but under the premise of conditions, no one will want to torture herself in a good way.

"Hah! It's cool at last. The two large bags on her chest seriously affected her choice of clothes.

Now, like now, she had to leave the thin coat open, or the buttons would be broken.

"Let's go."

Under the eaves in the distance, Kaori Sawada has prepared watermelon and a must-have cold drink for summer.

Lin Yi was still living a small life on his side, but on Eugen's side, he had a quarrel with the old dean.

After tasting Chibara's craft, Ether would come to the Chibara ramen restaurant almost every day to eat ramen.

She seems to be obsessed with ramen.

Eugen and her were often able to meet, maybe Eugen was too real, he felt that Ethel was a good person, and if she could take over the orphanage, as she said, it would be almost the best choice!

So the night after the donation was over, Eugen went to the orphanage to talk to the director.

"You're going to die of this heart, even if I want someone to inherit the orphanage, I will never choose that woman, she is not pure-minded!"

Under the old voice, there was a resolute attitude.

"Miss Ether is not a bad person, and I can tell that she is desperate to help improve the lives of the children. Dean, do you remember the last time the seasons changed? Xiaolan is sick, but there is not even a hospital nearby, so I can only rely on me and Hayabusa to carry her to the hospital. ”

Eugen meant what he said, he had grown up here, and he dared to say that no one wanted an orphanage better than he did.

The old dean looked at Eugen with complicated eyes.

Eugen was brought up by her, what kind of personality is the other party, can she not know?

But his experience is still too shallow, and it is not enough to look at people only on the surface!

She also has guilt about Xiaolan's matter, but if she hands over the orphanage to that woman of unknown origin, it will not be a matter of guilt, it will be regret!

"And the things about little Rhona, there are really too many of these things, why don't you just refuse to let go?" Eugen couldn't understand how the dean, who had always been wise and flexible, could be so stubborn this time.

And the other party also said that the old dean can continue to take care of the children.

It's just a different place.

"I know, I remember what you said, I'm not old enough. Anyway, you don't care about this matter, I will have my own considerations. ”

The dean leaned on crutches and walked slowly towards the inner room.

The orphanage does not occupy a large area, and the old director sleeps in front of the children, which is more convenient for her to deal with emergencies.

At the end of the hallway, there is an old-fashioned home phone.

On the black wheels, there are yellow round dial buttons, this kind of antique, except for the dean who can use it, everyone else will only answer.

She admits that she is a remnant of the previous era, but the fate of the next generation is now in her hands.

The pressure on his shoulders is not small, and he does not want to share it with a child like Eugen.

This is the stubbornness of an old man.

The fate of the orphanage is uncertain, and Eugen returns to the Chibara ramen restaurant.

"What's the matter, Eugen, looking sullen, did you like that girl? Tell your sister, and your sister will help you chase. ”

After changing into work clothes, Eugen walked out of the room, Noriko was standing by the door, Eugen's figure she didn't know how many times she had seen it, and the other party didn't seem to care about this kind of thing.

"It's fine."

"Talk to my sister~" Noriko grinned and wanted to reach out and put it on Eugen's shoulder, but Eugen dodged it.

"I said, I'm fine."

"Tsk, adolescence, it's really troublesome." Noriko is also from his age, and in her eyes, Eugen is completely the rebellious nature of an adolescent child.

Eugen didn't refute, just picked up a towel and wiped the table on his own.

Mao Yuan leaned against the kitchen door with a cigarette in his mouth, and he listened to the conversation of the two guys in the store.

He does not deny Noriko's words, but he does not agree with them either.

In this life, many things need to be borne by oneself and find the answers to one's own questions.

He still has time, he can wait.

It's just that when Eugen goes the wrong way, he will stand up as an elder and pull it back on track.

This is his responsibility and obligation.

After all, he treated this young man as his own son.

As for Noriko......

He is an old man whose first love is still there, and he can understand women's minds.

In modern terms, this is called professional mismatch, not a problem that age can solve.
