The girl who wears fast

Chapter 1440 Refuse to live a balanced life (15)

Tang Shichu learned about Li Manyan again. It was already time for her to give birth to a girl. When she heard that she had not been able to give birth to a boy, Lan Jigao's mother became even more disgusted with Li Manyan. Originally, if Li Manyan had given birth to a boy this time, It's a boy, so she might be a little more attracted to Li Manyan, but he's a girl.

Don’t think that Mrs. Lan, who comes from a wealthy family, understands justice and doesn’t care about the gender of her children. On the contrary, she cares a lot. In the original world plot, Li Manyan was able to successfully enter the Lan family because she gave birth to two sons. But now she has a daughter.

Because it was not the grandson she expected, Mrs. Lan didn't even bother to take a look when Li Manyan gave birth, let alone hold the child's third baptism or full moon ceremony.

Even after giving birth to a child, Li Manyan still failed to marry Lan Jigao. After the birth, she was stimulated by Mrs. Lan's attitude and soon fell into postpartum depression. However, Lan Jigao was very busy and had no time to accompany her or enlighten her. She, Li Manyan, was even more depressed and depressed.

Tang Shichu received several calls from her complaining about how painful, lonely and desperate she was.

Tang Shichu had already entered his graduate career at this time, so naturally he didn't have much time to listen to her words, so he suggested that she find a psychiatrist.

Perhaps aware of Tang Shichu's indifferent attitude, Li Manyan never called again.

"Tang Shichu!" That day, when Tang Shichu came out of the library, she heard someone calling her name. When she saw the person coming, she said in surprise, "Zhou Zhan, are you finally out?"

"What does it mean to finally come out? You make it sound like I have come out of prison." Zhou Zhan smiled slightly and actually made a joke with Tang Shichu. Obviously, he was in a good mood.

"Has your project been completed?" Tang Shichu guessed when he saw that he finally had time to come to him.

Zhou Zhan nodded as expected and said, "It's not finished, but I have successfully completed a paragraph, which is still the most important part."

"Congratulations, then." Tang Shichu wisely did not ask him about the specific content of his project.

Although Zhou Zhan has graduated from master's degree, he continues to study for a doctorate, so he is still considered a student like Tang Shichu.

We haven’t seen each other for more than half a year. Zhou Zhan’s temperament has become more calm and restrained, and his angular face looks sharper. Although his figure is thin, he looks tall and powerful at first glance. When he walks on campus, he becomes more attractive. There were no less than five girls who just passed by them and couldn't help but peek at him.

"Next month is the dean's birthday. Do you plan to go back to visit her?" Zhou Zhan suddenly asked.

Tang Shichu recalled it and remembered that it was indeed the dean's birthday in the middle of next month. The dean was a good man who treated every child in the orphanage with all his heart and wished he could dedicate everything he had to the children.

"Of course." Tang Shichu replied without hesitation. Although she was a heartless person, she was full of respect for the dean. After all, she originally wanted to go to university, and the dean also specifically asked Zhou Zhan, a senior, to Take care of her. With such a friendship, it would be inappropriate not to go back and visit.

When Zhou Zhan heard her unsurprising answer, he nodded and said, "I'll be free at that time. I'll go back with you then." "Okay." Tang Shichu replied.

The day came soon. Tang Shichu took the high-speed train to the next province with the gifts he bought. Now the transportation is very convenient. Even if it is hundreds of kilometers apart, it only takes a few hours to get there, so Even if Zhou Zhan and Tang Shichu went to other provinces to study at university, it would be easy to go back.

But the dean was worried that they would waste the round-trip fares, so he kept them from coming back every year, saying that a phone call and video chat would be enough instead of having to travel thousands of miles to meet in person.

In order to reassure her, Zhou Zhan and Tang Shichu went back to visit her every year during the Chinese New Year, but today was the dean's sixtieth birthday, so they made an exception and went back.

When they arrived at the entrance of the orphanage, the security guard opened his eyes wide when he saw the two of them and said in surprise: "Xiao Zhan, Xiao Chu! Why are you back?"

"Isn't it the dean's birthday soon? Let's come back to celebrate her." Tang Shichu said with a smile.

"Oh... we're here! No wonder you're all back and I forgot about it!" The security uncle patted his head, then diligently helped carry the luggage, "Come in quickly, the dean will be very happy to see you."

"Dean! Look who's back?" The security uncle shouted loudly into the yard, and all of a sudden, children of all sizes ran out from inside, but they were all preschoolers. After all, they were still at school age. There are classes at school.

"Brother Zhou Zhan! Sister Xiaochu!" As soon as the children saw the two of them, they screamed happily and circled around Zhou Zhan and Tang Shichu, each one like a puppy wagging its tail.

"Come on, eat some sweets. My sister and brother have bought you sweets." Tang Shichu said, taking out a large bag of snacks from his suitcase, opening them and giving them to the children one by one. The children were even more delighted and went crazy. Jumping and jumping.

Such a big movement finally alerted the dean. She walked out and saw Tang Shichu and Zhou Zhan. The expression on her face suddenly softened, and joy flowed from her eyes. She took Tang Shichu and Zhou Zhan's hands and held them one by one. They looked it over and then asked: "Why are you back at this time? It's out of season, so don't delay your studies."

"Dean, tomorrow is your birthday, and we want to come back to celebrate it for you." Tang Shichu put his arms around the dean's shoulders and said, "You used to just forget about birthdays, but this year is your sixtieth birthday, so you have to have a good time." Once.”

"Yes, Dean, you usually only celebrate your children's birthdays, but never take your own birthday to heart. This time, you can't miss it anymore." Zhou Zhan also helped.

"What's the birthday of an old woman like me? With that little money, I might as well cook a delicious meal for the children." The dean didn't agree with anything and glared at Tang Shichu, "What are you talking about?"

"There is no conflict between celebrating your birthday and making delicious food for the children. Can't we do it together? Dean, please don't refuse, otherwise we won't be able to feel at ease." Tang Shichu gently shook the dean's body and turned to those The chirping child said, "Look, they must also want to celebrate your birthday, with food and fun."

After much talk, she finally convinced the dean to agree to celebrate this birthday, but instead of letting Zhou Zhan and Tang Shichu waste money on giving her gifts, they were allowed to save the money for extra meals for the children.

Zhou Zhan and Tang Shichu naturally agreed. They knew that in the dean's heart, the children having a good meal was much more important than her birthday. When celebrating someone else's birthday, isn't it just to make the birthday girl happy?
