Chapter 194 The Director's Point of View The orphanage is modeled after the style of a courtyard house in Beijing. There is a spacious courtyard in the middle, surrounded by bedrooms, kitchens and toilets.
"Xiaoyi, please entertain your two classmates and don't let these brats make trouble. I'm going to the kitchen to make dinner." The dean said a few words before heading towards the kitchen.
Dongfang Yi said to the dean: "Dean, let me do it! You haven't tasted my craftsmanship for half a year."
"Xiaoyi, you just came back from outside, so you should rest more! We will try your craft tomorrow." The dean shook his head.
Murong Xuan interrupted: "Dean, Xiaoyi, neither of you are going, let Xiao Tianming go."
"Tianming, can you cook?" The dean looked at Xiao Tianming, his eyes full of doubts.
"Dean, you don't know something. Not only can he cook, he can also cook better than me. However, he is usually very lazy, so I usually do the cooking. Now that he is out, it's a good time to train him." Murong Xuan squinted her eyes.
He smiled and winked at Xiao Tianming.
The dean couldn't talk to Murong Xuan, so he had to agree to let Xiao Tianming cook: "Thank you, Tianming. I'll go up to deal with some things first, and then come down to replace Tianming. Erdan, you lead Brother Tianming to the kitchen.
I've already put the meat and vegetables in the kitchen."
"Fortunately, it's not firewood." Although the decoration of the kitchen is simple, it is well organized. Xiao Tianming turned on the biogas, skillfully took out the cutting board, took a piece of beef on the chopping board, and skillfully cut it into shreds...
"I can't tell that Tianming's cooking skills are so good. I could smell the aroma outside the door. Not many girls can cook nowadays, let alone boys? Tianming, your chef
Are you self-taught?" The dean said and walked in.
Xiao Tianming smiled and shook his head. While cooking, he said to the dean: "I learned it from my mother."
"So, your mother's cooking skills are very good?" the dean said with a smile while watching Xiao Tianming cook.
Xiao Tianming smiled lightly and did not deny it deliberately.
"Xuan'er is your girlfriend, right?" the dean said with a smile, "she is a very good girl, very beautiful, and very good at talking. These little guys in the courtyard are very close to her, it seems that they
This is not the first time we have met. You must cherish it!"
Xiao Tianming nodded, with deep happiness on his face, and said to the dean: "It is my blessing to find a girlfriend like Xuan'er, and I will cherish it. Dean, can I ask you a question?
"
The dean smiled and said: "I have asked you so many questions, of course you can ask my questions!"
"Dean, why do you let the children only call you dean?" Xiao Tianming asked in confusion.
The dean put away his smile and said seriously to Xiao Tianming: "I have always treated these children as my own children. The reason why I let them call me dean instead of using other names is because every time I hear them calling me
When I say "dean", I will feel more responsibility in my heart and have more confidence in persisting in my work. Did you know? I am also an orphan. Twenty-four years ago, I graduated from a technical secondary school and was assigned
I work here. At that time, my dream was to quit this job, go out of the mountains, and find the life of my dreams. Until one day, I heard a child calling me dean with a sweet smile, and my heart suddenly burst.
After a shock, I made up my mind to stay here and take care of the children. In a flash, it has been more than 20 years."
"My name is Le Changhe. Apart from the signature, I almost forgot the name. I only know that I am the director of the orphanage. I don't have a husband, but I have a bunch of lovely children." The director smiled at Xiao Tianming.
explained.
"Dean, you have never been married?" Xiao Tianming was somewhat surprised when he heard the dean's words.
"Are you surprised? Do you think that women must get married and find a man to rely on?" the dean asked with a smile.
Xiao Tianming blushed when the dean asked him, and he didn't know how to reply for a moment.
The dean looked at Xiao Tianming's embarrassment and couldn't help laughing: "Actually, you don't need to feel embarrassed, because many people have the same idea as you. It's just that I am an exception. At the beginning, I also talked with two people
Because I was busy at work, I felt it was not suitable and did not continue. Later, after staying with the children for a long time, I felt their innocence, and I became accustomed to the role of a single mother. Now, I have
Isn’t it pretty good?”
"Dean, if there is a suitable one now, don't you want to find one?" Xiao Tianming tried to ask the dean.
The dean glanced at Xiao Tianming, smiled knowingly and said: "Tianming, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, no need to beat around the bush!"
Seeing that Xiao Jiujiu in his heart had been seen through by the dean, Xiao Tianming stopped being careless and said directly: "Dean, I can see that the third uncle has feelings for you. How is the third uncle's person? You know better than me. Dean
, you and third uncle..."
The dean smiled at Xiao Tianming and said: "How long have you been in contact with your third uncle, and you can already tell that he has feelings for me? Needless to say, it was Xiaoyi, that girl, who told you and asked you to say it, right?"
Without waiting for Xiao Tianming to defend himself, the dean said: "Actually, Xiaoyi mentioned it to me before, but I never agreed."
"Why? Is the third uncle a bad person, or is it the dean that you don't have feelings for the third uncle?" Xiao Tianming asked the dean in confusion.
"The third uncle is a very nice person. We have lived together for more than ten years, and if we don't feel anything, it must be a lie." The dean shook his head and said to Xiao Tianming, "If I want to get married, the third uncle is undoubtedly the best person.
A suitable candidate. But do two people who stay together have to get married?"
Xiao Tianming didn't understand, so the dean went on to explain: "There are two people living together, caring for each other, taking care of each other, and working hard for the same thing. Although they are not husband and wife, although they do not sleep together, can't they live together?
Okay?"
Xiao Tianming looked at the dean and didn't know the answer, because he had never thought about such a question.
"There are some things that you may not understand in your whole life. You may not understand until you reach a certain age. In any case, I feel that life is very good now. Tianming, please take out the fried dishes and leave the rest
Let me do it." The dean said.
Murong Xuan seems to have a good rapport with children. Now, the kids in the orphanage have become close to her.
Murong Xuan saw Xiao Tianming coming over and hurriedly asked Xiao Tianming about the situation. Dongfang Yi also waited expectantly for Xiao Tianming to tell him the result. Xiao Tianming shook his head helplessly and conveyed the dean's words to Murong Xuan and Dongfang Yi intact.
.
"Although I don't understand what the dean said, I respect his opinion." Murong Xuan looked at Dongfang Yi and said.
Dongfang Yi nodded and agreed with Murong Xuan's point of view: "I don't understand either. However, I believe in the dean's choice and hope that my third uncle can also understand the dean's thoughts. Although they are not a couple, I still hope to see them
live together."
"Let the elders decide their own affairs!" Xiao Tianming sighed, turned around and shouted loudly to the confused little guys, "Kids, you will understand later. Now, go wash your hands and get ready.
time to eat."
When they heard that it was time to eat, the little ghosts showed great enthusiasm and rushed to wash their hands one by one. Dongfang Yi was so frightened that she shouted from behind: "Third sister, please slow down, be careful not to fall! Dabao,
Please hold Xiaohui..."
The huge round table was filled with nine people of all sizes. The little ghosts were very happy to have such a sumptuous dinner.
"These dishes are all made by Brother Tianming. Thank you first." The dean shouted to the four brats.
The four little ghosts shouted to Xiao Tianming in unison: "Thank you, brother Tianming..."
"You're welcome! Just eat when you're hungry!" The four kiddies looked at the dean and saw that he didn't object. They quickly picked up their chopsticks and started eating. While eating, they couldn't help praising the dishes cooked by brother Tianming.
Delicious, I have never tasted such good food.
"Third sister, do you think the food I cook is better or the food cooked by your brother Tianming?" Dongfang Yi asked with a smile.
Third sister looked at Dongfang Yi longingly and said honestly: "Third sister thinks the food cooked by brother Tianming is delicious!"
"Haha..." Third Sister's words made everyone present laugh.
Dongfang Yi pouted and said playfully: "Since you like brother Tianming's cooking, starting from tomorrow, all of our cooking roles will be taken care of by Tianming." As soon as Dongfang Yi finished speaking, Murong
Xuan immediately raised her hands in agreement.
"Tong Yan Wu Ji, Tong Yan Wu Ji! It's okay to eat the food I cook occasionally, but if you eat it all the time, you will get tired of it sooner or later. I'd better ask Gao Ming to take over the important task of cooking!" Xiao Tianming hurriedly declined with a bitter smile,
It made everyone laugh again.
"Let's all eat too! If we don't eat, all the food on the table will go into the stomachs of these little devils." The dean said, picking up the chopsticks, "Xiaoyi, when you go to visit the old uncle tomorrow, bring some wine.
Right. Besides, the day after tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, so it’s okay for him to be there alone. You invite him to come here to celebrate the New Year! Among the people in the village, you are the one he likes the most.”
"Old uncle always likes peace and quiet, will he agree to come and celebrate the New Year with us?" Dongfang Yi said hesitantly.
The dean thought for a while and gave Dongfang Yi a brilliant idea: "If you don't want to come over, just say that we have two drinkers here who can have a good drink with him. In this way, he will come with you.
Already."
"What a good idea! The old uncle is a good drinker. As soon as he hears that someone is drinking with him, he will naturally come over. However, the old uncle's drinking capacity is too good. By then, only the third uncle and Tianming will suffer. However, in order to celebrate the New Year, it will be more lively
, I have wronged Third Uncle and Tianming." Dongfang Yi said happily, with a sly smile flashing in his eyes.
