Summer Lemon Hearts

Chapter 19
The children cheered, and some couldn't wait to peel off the sugar, carefully put it in their mouths, and then tasted it slowly with a gesture of almost cherishing it, as if they were tasting some delicacies from mountains and seas.

"Sister Sui Sui, let's eat dumplings tonight." I checked the donations on the table while registering everything.Among the crowd, a handsome and cute little boy about 6 years old with fair skin and big eyes suddenly said, "Aunt Wang, the neighbor, is rolling out dumpling wrappers."

"Oh, Xiao An Ning, how did you know?" I touched Xiao An Ning's head, and thought to myself——

Could it be that the dean's mother is in a good mood after receiving so many donations today, so she wants to reward everyone?
"Oh... what the dean's mother said." Xiao An Ning tilted her head, and her pronunciation was a bit ambiguous because of the sugar in her mouth, "She said that she wanted to entertain the big brother who donated supplies to us. Uh, Sister Suisui, can you play with this laptop for me?"

uh, big brother?
I was somewhat surprised.

Although I haven't had time to carefully estimate the value of these things, I can tell that they are worth a lot at a cursory glance.Was this actually donated by the big brother that Xiao An Ning was talking about?

"What kind of big brother?" Curiosity arose in my heart, and I walked towards the door while talking, and at the end, I couldn't help but warn a certain little guy who was about to move, "Little An Ning, I warn you. Keep your computer away! Otherwise, hum, you will be at your own peril!"

"If you don't touch it, don't touch it, stingy sister Suisui." Xiao An Ning curled her lips, making a look of extreme aggrieved, "Uh, yes. That big brother is so beautiful, like walking out of a cartoon the same..."

But I have long been immune to his move, so I am not moved at all.

The curiosity and destructive power of this little guy is really amazing!If this laptop is handed over to him, I guarantee that it will be dismantled by him to only parts in half a day.

However, the big brother who came out of the comics?

My heart moved, could it be...

As soon as I walked out the door, I saw the dean's mother who was walking towards the laundry room in the yard holding the sheet and quilt cover.Under the afterglow of the setting sun in winter, the dean's mother's back seemed a little stooped, and her steps seemed to be a little staggering.

Time flies.

In a blink of an eye, the once young dean's mother is also getting old.

We grew up gradually, but the years carved cruel traces on her body.

Over the years, the Dean's mother has devoted all her efforts and love to us.And she herself kept nothing.

"Mom." I ran forward, hugged the dean's mother from behind, put my face on her back that was no longer straight, and rubbed my cheeks on her back over and over again.

"Sui girl, you're back." The dean's mother didn't even turn her head, she just called out my name accurately from my footsteps and voice, she turned around slowly, pulled out a hand with difficulty, Caressing my cheek, "Silly girl, what's the matter today? Did you get bullied by your classmates at school? Or did you feel wronged? Tell mom, and mom will help you judge."

"Mom, don't worry about me. Your daughter has always been the only one who bullies others. No one else would dare to bully your daughter!" I couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Don't worry, your daughter is good!" Let's go!"

"Oh, you girl is just too considerate. Even if you have been wronged outside these years, you still refuse to tell mom." The dean's mother sighed, her eyes were kind and helpless, "Girl Sui, don't be too hard on yourself, don't That's too strong! You are still a child after all, don't act like a little adult all day long. If you have any grievances, you must tell your mother, you know?"

"Got it, Mom."

Since returning home, the tears that had been rolling in the sore eye sockets finally couldn't help but fell down.

I hugged the dean's mother, buried my head deeply on her shoulders, and let the tears drip silently on her shoulders and soak into her clothes.

In fact, Ye Suisui was not so considerate and sensible from the beginning.

When I was young, I also used to be competitive, and I would not admit defeat in anything.

When I was bullied by my classmates, I was wronged and complained to the dean's mother when I went home.

But when the dean's mother took my hand and went to the school to ask the teacher to comment, and wanted to seek justice for me, what she got in exchange was another kind of grievance and injustice.

I still clearly remember that when the parent of the classmate who protected the shortcoming proposed in a disdainful tone to use a large donation to make up for the damage his child caused me, so that the school could reduce the punishment for his child, the mother of the dean That embarrassed expression.

I still can't forget that when the classmate who bullied me said in a disdainful tone that I was just an orphan, even if I was bullied, I deserved it, and no one would uphold justice for me, as long as his father used money to settle it , that proud and rampant expression.

I still don’t dare to forget the guilty expression on the dean’s mother when she gritted her teeth and refused a large donation from the parents of my classmates in order to maintain my fairness.

I know that at that time, she was entangled, embarrassed and blamed herself.

She maintained the dignity and fairness of one of her children, but lost the interests of other children.Especially when the orphanage faced a cut-off of funds, one can imagine how difficult the dean's mother made this decision.

It's a pity that I was young and ignorant at that time, and I felt that such things as integrity could never be bought with money.

So, because of me, the children in the orphanage had a very difficult life in that winter. It was so difficult that one day I even found a paid blood donation certificate from the dean's mother's drawer.

From then on, no matter how much wronged I suffered outside, I never cried to the dean's mother again.

Since then, my outlook on life, Ye Suisui, has undergone earth-shaking changes.

What is a festival?
Can you eat?
Tasty?
I only know that these insignificant things cannot make the dean's mother smile more, reduce her hard work, and cannot exchange for a full meal and a new dress for the children in the orphanage.

Therefore, since then, Ye Suisui has become a guy who is greedy for money.

From then on, Ye Suisui kept getting stronger, stronger, and stronger again.

Because I know that only when I am so strong that no one dares to bully me can I not worry about the dean's mother, and I can share a share of hard work for the dean's mother...

"Okay, girl Sui, mom has to wash the sheets and quilts first, and then I'll make dumplings later!" The dean's mother's words brought me back to reality from the long and distant contemplation. He patted my shoulder and said with a smile, "We still have guests at home later."

guest?

"Mom, let me do it. Your hands get frostbite in winter. Now that the weather is so cold, if you continue to wash like this, your hands will be terrible again." Then I remembered the guess just now, so While smiling, he snatched the sheets and quilt from the dean's mother's arms, and asked curiously, "However, who is our guest? You made it so grand!"

"You girl, how can you tease mother like this? Don't worry, it won't happen now. The guest today not only sent a lot of clothes, toys and school supplies to the children, but also sent a fully automatic washing machine to the orphanage. Well! From now on, let’s wash our clothes, so we don’t need to wash them by hand.” Hearing this, the dean’s mother smiled, “But I’m wondering, how did he know that we lack a washing machine? This is a timely help.”

automatic washing machine……

Sure enough it was him!

I couldn't wait to walk towards the washing place, and asked as I walked, "What about others?"

"Are you looking for me, Ye Suisui?" Because I lowered my head, I didn't notice the person coming in front of me. I didn't realize his existence until I bumped into Hetu.

"Ah... my nose."

This guy, is his chest made of iron?Why is it so hard?
I gave the guy in front of me a bitter look, and asked knowingly and angrily, "Why are you here?"

"I'm helping Dean Wang install the washing machine."

Hetu was holding tools, his hands were covered with stains, even his handsome face, which was comparable to a cartoon character, was stained with a few stains, but this still did not damage his elegant temperament.

He just stood there so nonchalantly, it seemed like a moving scenery, one couldn't help but linger in it.

"Why, don't you welcome me?" Seeing that I hadn't spoken for a long time, He Tu asked with a grin.

"Are you sure you will install it?" I pretended not to understand the disappointment in his tone, raised my eyebrows and smiled, "Don't break the washing machine then."

"Suisui, you child, how do you talk?" Hearing this, the dean's mother quickly knocked on me and blamed me, "Student Hetu is a caring person who donated to our orphanage. At the beginning, the words were automatic The washing machines, the laptops you saw with the children just now, and a whole bunch of children’s school supplies and clothes are all donated by him.”

I glanced at Hetu, then rubbed my head again, and said coquettishly: "I see, my dean. I am joking with classmate Hetu. I think he won't mind, right?" ?”

I gave Hetu a warning look, which meant that if he dared to talk nonsense, I would want him to look good.

"Of course!" Probably because he had received my warning, He Tu grinned at me, with a hint of doting in his eyes, "President Wang, don't worry, Ye Suisui is very familiar with me. I followed her to the orphanage last time, but I didn't see your old man. So I don't take her jokes seriously."

"Girl Sui, are you friends with classmate Hetu?" Seeing that Hetu and I got close, the dean's mother immediately sensed the relationship between us, "You girl, why didn't you tell me earlier? Look at you, come on." The first time I brought classmate Hetu back, I didn’t say hello to my mother, nor did I ask my mother to treat your classmate well.”

Who wants to bring him back, he didn't follow me!

I stared at Hetu innocently.

Seeing that the dean's mother is about to start the Sui Sui Nian mode, I quickly pushed her lightly, smiled and said coquettishly: "Okay, my dean, hurry to the kitchen, those dumplings are still waiting for you to finish." Woolen cloth!"

After that, I pulled up the river map and strode towards the laundry room.

"Come, come, classmate Hetu, I will take you back to the old place and visit our laundry room."

"You two have such a good relationship." Watching the back of the dean's mother going away, for some reason, Hetu suddenly sighed softly, as if feeling a little bit emotional and envious, "If I didn't know, I really thought you were Biological mother and daughter."

"There is a kind of relationship that does not need blood to maintain." I retracted my gaze and said with lowered eyes, "She is not a mother to me, but better than a mother. Not a blood relative, but better than a blood relative. She has long been indispensable in my life Part of her is my mother for the rest of my life. This will not change because I have different blood flowing in her veins!"

"You...really think so?" For some reason, Hetu was startled suddenly, that handsome face was like seeing the bright moonlight after pushing away the dark clouds, like the rising sun after the vast fog.

For a moment, he was enveloped by a suddenly enlightened light, making his jade-like eyes as bright as summer night stars.

"Of course." I was a little surprised by the shock in his eyes, but because I was too busy throwing the sheets and quilt covers into the newly bought automatic washing machine, I didn't notice the relief in his eyes. A certain form? The relationship between people is maintained by sincerity, not just by blood."

"Ye Suisui..." Hetu grabbed my hand excitedly, with complex and strange expressions on his handsome brows.

There is also a deep gratitude hidden in it.

"Thank you."

"Huh? Why thank me?"

I looked at my hand, then at the map of the river, and suddenly felt confused. I didn't understand what I had done to suddenly move him.

"Because your words untied my long-standing knot. Ye Suisui, you are right, the most important thing is to get along with each other sincerely, so why stick to that thin blood relationship." Probably noticed Seeing his gaffe, Hetu quickly let go of his hand, and said with a shy smile, "Anyway, Ye Suisui, you did me a big favor today! I have to thank you."

"You also helped me a lot today. Then, we're even." I patted him on the shoulder and said with a cool smile, "There's no need for you to come and thank me back and forth."

After a pause, I continued: "But Hetu, why did you do this today..."

"Well..." Hetu pondered for a moment, and just when he opened his mouth, our conversation was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps.

"Sister Suisui, Sister Suisui..." A small figure galloped towards us with fast steps, "The dean's mother asked you to eat dumplings."

"Xiao An Ning, your running speed has improved again." I squatted down, twisted the tip of the little guy's nose, and said with a smile, "This is all the temptation of dumplings."

"Hmph, Sister Suisui knows how to bully people." When I said the central thing, the little guy blushed suddenly, "Sister Suisui doesn't like An Ning anymore..."

"Fool, sister Sui Sui doesn't like who does our little An Ning like?" I stretched out my finger, and nodded the forehead of the good singing and singing guy in front of me, "Little guy, don't pretend. Hurry up." Go eat your dumplings, I'll soak these sheets and go."

"Then I'll go first." After all, the temptation of delicious food is greater, the little guy ran away with a "chuck", and turned back while running and said, "Sister Sui Sui, hurry up too. When the dumplings are cold, you can eat them." Not tasty."

"He is..." I was still studying the high-end products that Hetu gave to the orphanage, when Hetu, who had been silent since seeing Xiao Aning, suddenly spoke.

"Eh? Oh, did you mean Xiao An Ning?" I was a little puzzled by his nonsensical words, and it took me a long time to realize that the "he" in He Tu's mouth refers to Xiao An Ning." He is also a child of our orphanage. He has been sent to the orphanage since the day of the full moon, counting, it has been 6 years! Why, is there any problem?"

"Uh...no." Hetu retracted his gaze and shook his head subconsciously, "I just think the little guy is very kind. Besides, he was so handsome and cute when he was young. When he grows up, he must be a disaster for the country and the people. The character... well, probably a little bit worse than me..."

"Student Hetu, where's your face?"

This guy, in the past, I only knew that he was arrogant and arrogant, but I didn't expect that the thickness of his face was unprecedented and unprecedented.

He Tu really pointed at his handsome face, and said playfully, "Isn't it?"

I really convinced him!

"Okay, you're done, let's go eat dumplings!" I didn't bother to talk to him anymore, after I successfully started the washing machine, I clapped my hands and beckoned him to walk into the house.

At this time, I didn't notice the complex light flashing past in those obsidian eyes in the night...
