Chapter 23 Knowing the world but not the world
Respiratory arrest and loss of focus in the eyes.
The breeze ruffled Coco's hair, fluttering gently in the sun, lining her face, which had recently gained a little weight and became more and more beautiful.
She sat next to Li Guanchao, listening to his breezy words, always feeling that this was not what he should say, and always felt that she was hallucinating just now.
And there is this feeling because although Coco is not very old, she understands better than anyone that it is impossible for Li Guanchao and Su Jie to adopt her.
Because she is a drag oil bottle, her presence will affect their lives.
So after a brief moment of distraction, she showed an expression that had never been on her face before.
The cheeks were slightly bulging, the brows were deep, the small mouth was slightly raised, and at the same time, the eyes of the water spirit widened, which were full of question marks.
Li Guanchao looked at her and smiled: "Do you want me to say it again?"
Hearing this, Coco was convinced that what she had just said was true, and then her little face was slightly red, and she immediately shook her head.
Li Guanchao: "Shake your head, don't you need me to say it again, or don't agree with me to raise you?"
Coco: "But ......"
Su Jie, who was standing aside, took her little hand and said, "No one will leave you this time." ”
......
Sometimes, a sentence strikes the soul.
Su Jie's words made Coco unable to hold back any longer, she bit her lip and couldn't stop sobbing, she couldn't control it no matter what.
Li Guanchao understood why this sentence had such power, but looking at this scene, he still took it for granted, and it was not a human laugh.
Su Jie, who kept wiping her tears with a tissue and warming her with half of her arms, squinted at Li Guanchao, who was smiling, and said in a horizontal tone: "Is there anything funny about this?"
Li Guanchao replied: "Do you know my little black book?"
This sentence is a bit nonsensical, but although Su Jie didn't open it, she saw that the title was "Cocoa Cultivation Plan".
Li Guanchao said: "The first thing I wrote down in the plan was to let Coco learn to cry. ”
Su Jie: "......"
Li Guanchao patted Coco on the shoulder at this time: "You and your sister Su haven't eaten in the morning, you cry slowly, take us to the cafeteria to eat something after crying." ”
Drizzle pear blossoms, crying eyes are swollen Coco with a hoarse voice: "Okay." Then he blinked his long eyelashes and kept wiping his tears...
......
In addition to the dormitory, there is a small two-story office building, as well as a flat-floor canteen and a small playground.
The scale is not large, but it is quite neat, and by the time Coco finished crying, there was no one in the cafeteria, and occasionally a few children would be seen, some normal, some not.
And the food here is not normal.
Li Guanchao didn't order the food, because it was all the standard breakfast of the welfare home
It's just that as soon as he was on the table, he was a little dumbfounded.
In front of me is an iron plate, there are two small steamed buns in it, not white, there are even two small black spots, there is a small amount of oil and wheat cabbage is a little black, I don't know if the soy sauce is too much, the only meat dish is the meat diced beans, clamped up to see that it is a small fat meat, and almost have to rummage in the beans to find...
Not to mention whether these are pig food problems, is this amount too small?
No wonder the kids here are so skinny.
Li Guanchao also quickly determined that there were common gray cats similar to school cafeterias in this welfare home through the food in front of him, and he was not surprised by this, but he really couldn't get chopsticks.
But Coco should have been crying just now and was hungry, and she quickly ate all the unsightly food in front of her without looking at it, and when she was about to finish eating, she looked up and saw that not only Li Guanchao, but also Su Jie frowned, and only took a bite of a small steamed bun.
Li Guanchao said at this time: "When you were a volunteer before, was the food like this?"
Su Jie shook her head: "No, I never came here again after the dean changed." ”
Li Guanchao didn't ask Su Jie why she didn't come back, he probably knew that the orphans were indeed pitiful, but the environment affected people, and some children did do something that made people feel excessive.
So he returned to the main question and asked, "New Dean?"
"It's not new, it's been three years. ”
"Do you know?"
"Acquaintance, not familiar, but I said hello to him yesterday. ”
Li Guanchao said 'um' and said, "Let's go through the formalities now." Saying that, he looked at Coco and said: "We have completed the formalities today, and it is estimated that we will not be able to take you away, we have to wait for the process, eat less of this thing, don't spoil your stomach, we will buy you something to eat later." ”
Coco nodded slightly, but thought that if Li Guanchao adopted him, he would be ... She immediately added, "But... Are you really sure?"
Su Jie hugged Coco's neck: "In the future, we will be a nominal family of three." ”
After saying this, she glanced at Li Guanchao, and Li Guanchao smiled at her: "You are the ugliest." ”
Su Jie originally wanted to be angry, because she was not ugly and beautiful, but she quickly thought about whether this was the fact that Li Guanchao indirectly admitted the fact that there was a family of three, did this mean...
I'm so shy...
The Lun family's face is going to be red...
"Let's go~!"
Su Jie coughed, stopped making up her brain, and hurriedly followed.
......
......
The office is not big and the decoration is very simple.
There is a screen at the door, and when you walk past it, you can see an old-fashioned sofa, a coffee table, a desk, and a landscape painting hanging on the wall.
Sitting inside was a middle-aged man, slightly blessed, full of red light, and his spirit looked very good, and after seeing Su Jie and Li Guanchao walk in, he stood up and greeted him: "Xiao Su, hello." ”
Su Jie nodded slightly and said, "Dean Kong, hello." ”
As she spoke, she turned to the side: "He is Li Guanchao." ”
Li Guanchao shook hands with Dean Kong and nodded slightly.
Then, the dean arranged for the two to sit down, and prepared to make a pot of tea on the sea of tea on the table.
Su Jie only gets sick when she faces Li Guanchao, most of the time is very normal, and she is resolute and neat, so she stopped Dean Kong's actions and said, "Don't bother, we are here to go through the formalities today, and we will leave when we are done." ”
"No delay, no delay. Saying that, Dean Kong fiddled with the sea of tea.
It's very professional, and there are many steps, but after the tea was full, Su Jie and Li Guanchao took a sip lightly, he said: "Yesterday, within three minutes of you sending me a message, a couple said that they wanted to adopt Coco. ”
"Huh?" Su Jiedai raised her eyebrows slightly.
Li Guanchao was expressionless and silent.
"In terms of conditions, objectively speaking, objectively speaking, they are more suitable than you as Coco's adoptive father and adoptive mother. ”
Dean Kong coughed and said, "As for our welfare home, it must be a comprehensive adopter's condition, which you know Xiao Su." ”
Su Jie smiled: "Dean Kong, the comprehensive conditions also depend on the child's personal wishes, obviously Coco will definitely choose me as her adopter." ”
Dean Kong smiled and said, "At present, it seems that it must be ah, but Coco still hasn't been in contact with the old couple I told me about, I think as the dean, I should still be fair and just, and wait for Coco to get in touch with them a little bit, and then make a choice." ”
Saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Besides, Xiao Su, you are still single, will it really affect you to adopt Coco?"
Before he finished speaking, he clapped his hands and said, "This is your boyfriend, right? ”
Li Guanchao was still drinking tea, did not look up, did not respond, Su Jie smiled and said, "Dean, you see that I have all the materials today." ”
Dean Kong said: "Originally, it would take a few days to go through the procedure, you put this first, put this, we will talk about this later, how about the tea, the big red robe sent by relatives, but I don't know how to taste, and I don't know if it's true or not, and it's a lot of money." ”
Su Jie tasted the tea, and then Li Guanchao said: "The tea is good, let's put the materials here and wait for the letter." ”
Maybe Su Jie won't listen to other people's words, but Li Guanchao's words are always very good in her ears, so she took out the materials, put them on the table, and said, "Dean Kong, don't send them." ”
After speaking, she and Li Guanchao got up together and left the office.
......
Walking out of the office building on the second floor of the welfare home, Su Jie said, "What's the matter?"
Li Guanchao said: "It's okay. ”
Su Jie said: "Then you can leave, what's the matter, it's not nice to listen to this Dean Kong secretly wanting some benefits?"
Li Guanchao shook his head and said: "This is normal, the operation of this world has always relied on unspoken rules and gray order. ”
Su Jie coughed: "You know, I saw the jar of big red robe, I don't have much money, just give it to him, it's over, I'm not bad at this, anyway, I won't meet in the future." ”
Li Guanchao said: "I told you before I came that I want to raise Coco into a girl who knows the world but is not worldly. ”
Su Jie: "So you want to lead by example? Then how can you solve this matter with a worldly and unworldly skill, and complete the procedures for adopting Coco?"
Standing in the shade of a tree, Li Guanchao lit a cigarette at this time, took a deep breath and slowly exhaled a calm voice: "I decided to dismantle this tomorrow." ”
Su Jie snatched Li Guanchao's cigarette: "Smoke less, and don't talk nonsense." ”
