Chapter 1310 Surviving in the last days of natural disasters (37)

 After school that day, Xu Yin’s four children put together a gift and went to visit the dean.

 The dean has not been in good health in the past few years, mainly due to worry and exhaustion.

Since Xiang Nuan reunited with her family, she has been taken care of by her parents and brothers, and she is pampered like a little princess. The other children are jealous and want to find their biological parents.

But if it were so easy to find a relative, the children would not have to stay in the orphanage for so many years, not to mention the current environment where natural disasters are frequent.

The older children are quite sensible, but the younger ones only know that they will live a good life after being taken back by their biological parents, and they clamor to find their parents all day long.

 The dean was physically and mentally exhausted, coupled with malnutrition, and his body was completely broken. It was difficult to recover from this breakdown, and he would easily faint if his mood fluctuated even slightly.

 After learning that Xu Yin’s four children were still alive, she fainted once with excitement and has been trying to calm herself down.

 Seeing four children coming to visit her, especially Xu Dong and Xu Xi's eyes turned red when they saw her, but she held on and did not faint.

 Xu Yin fed her a few sips of drinking water mixed with Linghu water.

The dean took turns holding their hands, looking at them lovingly with tears in his eyes, and kept nodding: "Okay! Okay! Your life is better than anything else!"

He then said to the other children: "Mother, the dean, didn't lie to you? As long as you have the ability, you can still live a good life."

Just when I was about to take this opportunity to tell the children that "it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on anything", Xiang Nuan also came.

“Mother, Dean, I’m here to see you. Are you feeling better today?”

Wearing a pink princess dress and holding a cute Barbie pink doll in her hand, she walked happily into the dean's room step by step, as if she had been flying butterflies.

 These days, it is not easy to get a brand new pink mesh princess dress.

Either her family has plenty of supplies and can buy anything she wants; or she has a family member working in a clothing factory.

However, in recent years, clothing factories have been taken over by the government, and production orders are supplied on demand. This kind of princess skirt, which is not suitable for wear, has long been discontinued.

 So, in the final analysis, her family is more powerful, has abundant supplies, loves her and dotes on her, so they are willing to dress her up and put her in such a beautiful dress.

The dean’s mother saw Xiang Nuan coming and closed her eyes. She felt helpless in her heart, knowing that today’s moral education topic was in vain again.

It’s not that I blame Xiang Nuan, this child is also kind-hearted. Whether in N City or here, he comes to visit her and other children when he has time. Occasionally, he will bring some food or multi-player game props to accompany the child. Let's play.

 It is really rare in these difficult years when everyone only cares about their own food and clothing.

But it is precisely because she comes often that she inadvertently reveals happiness in her words and deeds, such as wearing beautiful clothes, eating rare snacks, and often saying "this is a doll my mother made for me" and "this is a doll my brother bought for me". Things like "my dad said he would take me camping when the weather gets better" and other words on his lips made other children look at him with excitement.

People are like this, they simply can’t see the difference, and they can be poor and happy even if they are content and happy.

 It's like the days in the welfare home in the past. Everyone lived together and received the same treatment for food and accommodation. Kindhearted people sent donations and donated materials. They had good meals and new clothes. They were as happy as the Chinese New Year.

But now the gap is right in front of us, and we can see it every three days. Younger children can easily go from envy to jealousy, or fall into self-blame. I have to find her, and after I find her, I will love her to the heavens. Why don’t my parents come to me? Is it because I’m not good enough?”

 The dean’s mother is having a headache over this.

 Finally managed to make them happy, and Xiang Nuan came again within a few days.

But the dean himself is a kind-hearted person, otherwise he would not have been able to support an orphanage for so many years by himself. He really cannot say such cruel words as to let a child with a pure nature go back and never come back again.

“Do you want to know how we keep ourselves so strong that we can eat a rutin egg every day?”

Xu Yin suddenly spoke, successfully drawing the children, especially the girls, to focus on the doll in Xiang Nuan's hand and the beautiful clothes on her body.

“Yes, Yin Yin, how did you do it?”

“Yinyin, can we eat in vain like you?”

“Can we wear the same new clothes as Nuan Nuan?” “Is there a cute doll like Nuan Nuan?”

 “Are there any snacks that Nuannuan’s mother made for her?”

 “Are there any toys that Nuannuan brother gave her?”

　　　…”

Xu Yin twitched her lips. Should I say that the ambitions of these little sisters are really big or really small?

"If you do as I say, there will be success in the future." Xu Yin said seriously.

The children were so happy when they heard this, they raised their little hands and rushed to say:

 “Yinyin, I listen to you!”

 “Yinyin, I also listen to you!”

“Yinyin, I listen to you the most!”

 “Me, me, and me!”

Xiang Nuan was pushed aside. She was a little overwhelmed holding a sour plum candy. When she saw Ning Jin, she happily leaned over and said, "Brother Ning..."

Ning Jin ducked behind Xu Yin.

　　　…”

Xu Yin took out a small notebook in a dignified manner and asked the children one by one:

 “Can you fold a quilt?”

 “Can you mop the floor?”

 “Can you pack the blocks?”

“Would you comb the hair and dress a two- or three-year-old baby?”

 “Are you willing to play games with a two- or three-year-old baby?”

Ning Jin and Xu Dong and Xu Xi’s eyes lit up as they listened: “Yin Yin, are you helping Aunt Song recruit an assistant?”

"yes!"

 “Little assistant?” The dean was confused.

"Dean mother, I know, I tell you." Xu Dong Xu Xi actively explained to her.

It turns out that Song Lin’s mother was too busy working in the baby class, so she wanted to find a few children who were working part-time as assistants through the logistics department.

There are boarding children in the baby class. Both parents work in special positions. There is no one to take the children to the baby class. The most hectic thing is from morning to noon. The boarding children wake up one after another, and the children whose parents are with them are also sent to the baby class one after another. When I get to class, I stare at this and forget about that. I am really busy.

But the students who take morning breaks and attend classes in the afternoon are still children themselves. Work-study students who are both good at these tasks and patient with babies are not so easy to find. In addition, the logistics department has been busy recently settling residents from N City, so it is difficult to apply. It has been more than a month since I submitted it, but the logistics department has not arranged for anyone to come over. Every time Song's mother sees Xu Yin's several sensible and capable children, she wants to drag them to her class to help, and even does so in front of Professor Liu. He had been poached in front of him, so the children knew that the doll class was looking for an assistant who could work part-time while studying.

The dean understood the reason and nodded happily: "Okay, okay, give it a try when you get the chance. This is to rely on your ability to earn a living!"

"I want to go too." Xiang Nuan approached them holding the doll, "Can I go?"

"No." Ning Jin refused, "You have family to take care of you, don't compete with the children in the orphanage for jobs!"

　　　…”
