Later, I chatted with the director for a long time, inquired about the current situation of the orphanage, and heard that the economic conditions had improved, and I finally got some comfort in my heart. I also learned that the dean's name was Sun Xiaohong, and as soon as he graduated from university, he brought money into the hospital and took over the position of dean.

At noon, Dean Sun led me to the cafeteria on the second floor. When it was renovated, the cafeteria did not change much, only a few sets of tables and chairs were added. When I was a child, I ate here for several years, and although the food in the orphanage was not as good as the outside, the food was my favorite food.

The cafeteria door was facing the window, and as soon as I entered, I saw the pouring rain lapping on the glass, and the children were lying on the windowsill with their eyes on the windowsill looking out, and almost everyone's face was full of disappointment. Before I came, I used the money I recently earned to buy some snacks and clothes for the children, but depending on the weather today, the courier should not be able to deliver.

It makes me feel like I'm coming back empty-handed, Dean Sun won't think I'm stingy, right?

"Usually, after lunch, the teacher will lead the children to the garden and backyard to play, but today it seems that they can't go." Dean Sun was cleaning up the finished plates on a table at the door, and observing the children in the cafeteria, and his mouth was not idle.

"You're still doing your own work?" I was a little surprised.

"There is a cleaning aunt in the courtyard, and the teachers sometimes help out." Dean Sun turned around and smiled at me, seeing that I was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly helped her clean up.

At this time, a female teacher about 30 years old had just passed by after dinner, and Dean Sun stopped her and asked, "Teacher Li, why didn't Xia Tong come to dinner?" ”

Teacher Li paused and said, "Xia Tong was not feeling well in class, so I asked her to go back to the dormitory first, and I was about to bring her food." ”

Dean Sun glanced at the plate in Mr. Li's hand, and said with a sweet smile: "No wonder they are all Tongtong's favorite dishes, you give it to me, I just happened to have something to do with her." ”

"I'm sorry for you, Dean." Teacher Li also smiled, showing two dimples on his face.

Dean Sun took the plate, shook his head and told me to go with him. I'm still amazed that she can remember what children love to eat, and she has already gone away. I hurriedly chased after her, and as soon as I got out of the cafeteria, I heard her gush: "Teacher Li is our most attentive teacher, and she is also beautiful." I had a boyfriend before, and I didn't agree with her being a teacher in an orphanage, but the two broke up, and I'm still single. ”

I don't even know what to respond to, why did you tell me these gossips when we first met?

"By the way, do you have a girlfriend?" She asked suddenly.

I subconsciously shook my head.

"Do you have children?"

My eyes widened and I couldn't believe my ears.

"It seems to be nonsense,......" Dean Sun smiled smugly, "Then what is your impression of Teacher Li?" ”

"What do you mean......" I was completely confused by the question.

"Actually, I think you're quite down-to-earth, and you know how to work, and we're out of the orphanage

Son, I'm sure it's all good. If I don't introduce you to Mr. Li, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work out or not. ”

"But I'm only in high school......"

"Huh? Really? Dean Sun was taken aback, and his mouth was open enough to swallow a steamed bun raw, "I thought you were thirty!" ”

After hearing this, I really wanted to find a crack in the ground and get in. I'm a little more mature, you don't have to be so direct, right......

However, the good thing about this matter is that Dean Sun is finally embarrassed to talk to me anymore, and after more than two hours of getting along, I think that her words can definitely rank in the top three among all the people I know, or a conservative estimate.

When we walked to the top of the stairs in embarrassment, a little boy happened to come down from the third floor. Dean Sun pretended to be serious and asked, "Yi Ran, why don't you go upstairs for dinner?" ”

The boy named Yi Ran said in a milky voice: "I'm playing hide and seek with my big sister!" ”

"Isn't your sister just eating in the cafeteria, playing hide and seek, hurry up and eat." Dean Sun looked very stern.

"Well, okay, my sister won't let anyone tell me anyway." Yi Ran put on a look of grievance when he spoke, and after speaking, he walked away alive, and the child was really moody.

As soon as Yi Ran left, Dean Sun immediately smiled "poof", covered his mouth and said, "It's really tiring to pretend to be serious." Who made a few children in the courtyard particularly naughty, Yi Ran, like his sister Yi Xin, was a headache. ”

We walked to the door of Xia Tong's dormitory on the first floor, where the orphanage had prepared a four-person dormitory for the children, and the nurses and teachers were two-person dormitories. Some older and taller children will also be placed in a two-person bed.

Dean Sun knocked lightly on the door and called Xia Tong twice, but no one answered. But the door was not locked, she slowly pushed open the door, and saw that the room was dark with the curtains drawn, and the corridor light shone in through the door, just hitting Xia Tong's face. I saw Xia Tong sleeping deeply on the bed, and a ray of light reflected her face, making her look more tranquil and soft.

I pinched my throat and said, "Dean Sun, let's wait for her to wake up." ”

Dean Sun shook his head and said, "No, call her up to eat first." And now let her sleep, and she shouldn't be able to sleep at night. ”

"The Great Luo of the Worlds"

Dean Sun gently put the dinner plate on the bedside table and gently shook Xia Tong's body while calling her nickname "Tong Tong" in her mouth. After a while, Xia Tong let out a "hmm" and slowly raised his eyelids. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, her natural long black curly hair was scattered on the pillow, and she was confused for a long time before she muttered, "Dean, why are you here?" ”

"I'll bring you food." Dean Sun stroked Xia Tong's hair with a smile.

"And who is this uncle?" Xia Tong pointed at me again and asked.

"He's a friend of your grandfather, and he came to see you."

"Grandpa Bao...... Grandpa Bao ......" Xia Tong's face suddenly became ugly, and his emotions gradually got out of control, "Grandpa is dead, grandpa doesn't want me anymore, me."

I want to see grandpa, grandpa ......"

Dean Sun hurriedly took Xia Tong in his arms, gently stroked her back, and comforted her: "Grandpa just can't take care of you anymore, he doesn't want you." He entrusted you to Aunt Sun, and Aunt Sun and the orphanage will always take care of you in the future. ”

But Xia Tong still kept crying, crying for a long time. Later, she finally got tired of crying, but she also fell asleep in Dean Sun's arms. Dean Sun carefully helped her lie flat on the bed and covered her with a quilt, and I saw that a large part of the shoulders of the dean's clothes were wet with tears.

"No way." Dean Sun smiled helplessly at me.

I whispered, "Let's go first." ”

Dean Sun picked up the plate again, and said in his mouth, "When she wakes up, let the kitchen make another one." ”

After going out, I asked again, "Is Xia Tong's mood so unstable?" ”

"Occasionally, it's like this, but more often it's just that I don't like to talk, and it's okay to mention the old dean, which is rare today, but we still talk more carefully in front of her."

"Forget it, I don't think she will be able to answer my question." In fact, after I saw Xia Tong's state, I didn't have any hope for her, "I'll go back first." ”

"It's raining so hard, how are you going?" Dean Sun stopped me, "You just wait, at least when the rain stops." Anyway, this is also your home, and you still see outside? ”

Hearing this, I was a little moved in my heart, and I couldn't help but feel that Dean Sun, like the old dean, treated the children here and this orphanage as his own treasure.

"You're not curious, what exactly do I want to ask?" I asked rhetorically.

"I believe it must be something very important to you, just as I believe in every child in the orphanage, that's why I will help you. And ......"

"And what?" I feel that Dean Sun still has something to hide from me.

"There's one thing I've always wanted to figure out." Dean Sun said with a solemn face, "The old dean died of a heart attack, but his medicine is in his jacket pocket. Xia Tong was also at home when he fell ill, and I wanted to know what happened during this period? ”

Hearing this, I was taken aback: "Have you asked Xia Tong?" ”

"She wouldn't say anything." Dean Sun said in frustration, "Once she asks too many questions, she will lose control of her emotions." ”

This incident was somewhat unexpected to me, there seems to be a hidden story in the death of the old dean, and the only clue is a girl named Xia Tong. It seems that whether it is for myself or for the sake of the old dean, it is necessary for me to have a good chat with Xia Tong.

If I really can't do it, I can only use some supernatural means to make her tell the truth. It's a pity that she's too young and weak, and she may get sick because of it, so unless there's really nothing I can do, I will definitely not use this strategy.

Then we quietly exited Xia Tong's room, and I decided to stay for now, and wait for Xia Tong's mood to stabilize before making a decision.
