Growing up with the dean's mother-in-law, Yu Qiaoqiao understood the meaning of her mother-in-law's every move and look.

So she glanced at Chen Yan, followed the dean's mother-in-law obediently, and left the front yard.

Walking into the orphanage, the mother-in-law, the director, was holding a cane. Although her steps were slow, she had a different kind of strength.

Yu Qiaoqiao followed her, lowering his head and feeling a little uneasy.

Perhaps like other girls who bring their boyfriends home, Yu Qiaoqiao also expects her beloved to be recognized by her family, but is afraid of hearing some opinions she doesn't want to hear.

Fortunately, the dean's mother-in-law did not tell the result that she did not want to hear.

She took two unsteady steps, then smiled and said to Yu Qiaoqiao, "That boy likes you very much."

After hearing what the mother-in-law said, Yu Qiaoqiao's little face suddenly turned red.

She stumbled and said, "No, no... maybe."

The dean's mother-in-law smiled kindly and said, "You can tell if you like someone by their eyes..."

"His eyes will often look at you. Every time he looks at you, there is tenderness in his eyes."

"If this isn't love, what is it?"

After hearing the words of the dean's mother-in-law, Yu Qiaoqiao quietly pinched the corner of her clothes and said a little shyly, "That's it..."

Seeing Yu Qiaoqiao's cute look, the dean's mother-in-law stretched out her hand to touch Yu Qiaoqiao's head. But when she raised her hand, she found that she could no longer touch Yu Qiaoqiao's head.

Her eyes couldn't help but flash back to the time when she had just brought Yu Qiaoqiao back to the hospital. At that time, Yu Qiaoqiao was still such a little kid.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, it was already so high...

Time....

Perhaps feeling the melancholy of the dean's mother-in-law, Yu Qiaoqiao glanced at the dean's mother-in-law, and then lowered her head obediently.

She was originally not tall, and the dean's mother-in-law could touch her head before, but now that she is old and unable to straighten her waist, it was a bit difficult.

So, she just lowered her head slightly, and her head fell into the hands of the mother-in-law.

Suddenly she found a little fluffy thing in her hand. The dean's mother-in-law came back to her senses and looked at Yu Qiaoqiao who was looking at her obediently. She suddenly laughed.

She touched Yu Qiaoqiao's head, and then said softly, "Among so many children, you are the most sensible and well-behaved one since childhood."

Her eyes were a little distant, "Actually, I've been worried about your temperament and whether you will suffer a disadvantage when you grow up."

"But now it seems that I was just worried..."

"I feel relieved to have such a nice boy who treats you well."

She stretched out her old hand, took Yu Qiaoqiao's hand, and continued walking forward.

Yu Qiaoqiao obediently took her hand and followed her.

The two of them walked a few steps and came to a room, opened the door and walked in.

This is the place where the dean's mother-in-law lives. It has the same style as the orphanage. Things are a bit shabby, but very clean.

The old man can never be idle in his life. Even when he is older, he still likes to wipe them over and over again when he has nothing to do to keep them clean.

When she arrived at the room, Yu Qiaoqiao was a little hesitant. For a moment, she asked the dean in a low voice, "Mother-in-law... Do you think Chen Yan will always be good to me?"

The dean's mother-in-law looked at Yu Qiaoqiao.

Yu Qiaoqiao was like a pitiful little beast, looking at her worriedly with pure eyes.

The dean's mother-in-law couldn't help but smile and said, "Silly boy. How can my mother-in-law know what's going to happen in the future?"

"And...love is a matter of two people. It requires two people to contribute and maintain it."

"It can't be summed up by saying whether he will always be good to you."

"How the future goes depends on him and you."

The dean's mother-in-law seemed to have remembered something from the past, and she was a little lost in thought for a moment.

Yu Qiaoqiao has seen the dean's mother-in-law being distracted like this many times.

In the past two years, as my mother-in-law gets older, this kind of distraction has become more and more frequent.

One time, Yu Qiaoqiao asked the dean's mother-in-law what she was thinking. But the dean's mother-in-law just smiled and said that she was old, so she would always miss the past time, think about the people in the past, and think about what she did right and what she did wrong in those years.

thing....

Yu Qiaoqiao listened a little confused and didn't quite understand what her mother-in-law meant.

Fortunately, the dean's mother-in-law didn't need her to understand. She just immersed herself in her own world and it would be fine after a while.

This time was no exception. After I was in a daze for a while, the dean's mother-in-law came back to her senses, her eyes full of melancholy.

Then, as if she remembered something, she glanced at Yu Qiaoqiao, then came to the table, opened the drawer, and took out a book from it.

He opened the book again, searched for it, took out a note from it, and handed it to Yu Qiaoqiao.

Yu Qiaoqiao took the note. There was nothing on the note, only a series of phone calls.

Yu Qiaoqiao looked at the dean's mother-in-law curiously.

The dean's mother-in-law said, "I think your little boyfriend is not a man who likes stability."

Seeing Yu Qiaoqiao, she wanted to explain, but the dean's mother-in-law raised her hand and continued, "I'm not saying it's not good for him to be like this."

"Young people should be energetic and hardworking."

"Only when young people are strong can a country be strong."

"If even you are depressed, then this country will be hopeless."

"I'm just worried. It's just passed the break, so I'll leave you an insurance policy."

"If you really accidentally encounter something that cannot be solved, you can call this phone."

"Just say she is his sister. Tell him the situation and see if he can help."

Speaking of this, the mother-in-law waved her hands a little uninterested, "Of course, I can't say whether he can help or how much he can help. However, this is the greatest help that I, an old woman, can give you."

"I guess those down jackets you bought were not in vain."

Hearing what the dean's mother-in-law said, Yu Qiaoqiao quickly said, "Mother-in-law, we bought the down jacket voluntarily."

The mother-in-law waved her hand and said nothing more.

Yu Qiaoqiao knew her mother-in-law well. She knew that her mother-in-law had been a very principled person since she was a child and would not change her opinions. So she could only keep her mouth shut.

After no longer persuading, Yu Qiaoqiao looked down at the note, then at her mother-in-law, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Mother-in-law, whose phone number does this belong to...?"

"Why should I call him brother...?"

The dean's mother-in-law seemed to be in a bad mood since she took out this note. She said dryly, "Our hospital has been running for so many years, and there are always a few outstanding people."

"So it's okay if you call him brother."

Yu Qiaoqiao immediately understood the identity of this person: he was probably the child adopted by his previous mother-in-law...

Seeing that her mother-in-law was in a bad mood, she didn't dare to ask any more questions. She could only stand there with the note in hand and her head lowered.

The old man's anger comes and goes quickly. My mother-in-law was angry there alone for a while, but when she looked up and saw Yu Qiaoqiao's aggrieved look, she immediately lost her anger.

She no longer thought about the child who walked out of the orphanage more than ten years ago, but stood up and stretched out her hand to Yu Qiaoqiao again, "Okay, let's go sit in the yard again."

"I haven't been feeling well lately and I always want to bask in the sun."

Yu Qiaoqiao quickly agreed, came over to support her mother-in-law, and then walked out with her mother-in-law.

While walking on the road, Yu Qiaoqiao asked, "Mother-in-law, have you recovered from your last cough?"

The mother-in-law nodded and said in an old voice, "Okay. But my legs have been a little uncomfortable these past two days."

"Hey... when people get old, they are really full of problems."

The sound gradually faded away, and the sunset slowly drew closer, making this apparently small orphanage reflect a circle of golden color...

Chen Yan and Yu Qiaoqiao spent the afternoon playing with their mother-in-law and several children.

Had a meal here again in the evening.

The food was cooked by several children and Yu Qiaoqiao.

The dean's mother-in-law originally wanted to cook in person, but Yu Qiaoqiao pinned her down on the rocking chair. In the end, she couldn't resist Yu Qiaoqiao, so she could only sit aside and chat with Chen Yan.

Although the conditions in the orphanage are more difficult, there is no problem with food and clothing. There is heating in winter, and although the meals are a bit simple and not large, there are many kinds of food, including vegetables, meat, and eggs. It looks like a very good meal.

balanced.

To be honest, Chen Yan thinks... this is much healthier than the takeout he usually eats.

After eating, Chen Yan and Yu Qiaoqiao did not stay long, but chatted with the dean's mother-in-law for a while before leaving the orphanage.

The vehicle slowly left. Through the reflector, Chen Yan saw the dean's mother-in-law and several children standing outside the house wearing new down jackets, waving towards the car as the two drove away.

Chen Yan smiled, and he suddenly felt that Yu Qiaoqiao was actually very happy to have such a group of family members...

.....

"Mother-in-law, when I grow up, can I buy a lot of beautiful clothes and drive a beautiful car like Brother Chen?"
