257 The face is even worse than when you don’t smile.
"I don't know much about Mrs. Mo. My previous understanding was all based on her attendance at public events with Chief Mo, the press releases released by the media, and the publicity and hype on the Internet. Originally, when I looked at her, I thought she was a very kind person. ." Lin Chu said muffledly.
"She's not a bad person, she just has some common problems among people in big families. But she doesn't have bad intentions. She is a little petty, but she doesn't lag behind when it's time to do good things. How can I put it, everyone has some shortcomings, no She is a perfect person, and this is her shortcoming." Yan Beicheng explained, "And she has had this temper for many years. She has had it from the beginning, and she can't change it even if she wants to. Otherwise, with the tempers of Chief Mo and Mo Jingsheng, I have asked her to change it a long time ago, but there is nothing I can do about it."
"I think that although Mo Jingsheng has a weak temper, he is a very good person." Lin Chu said.
"The two brothers followed Chief Mo. And after all, they are boys. After they become more sensible, their father disciplines them more. Although Chief Mo is usually strict, he knows what Mrs. Mo's temperament is, and he does not dare to trust his two sons. Leave it to her and always be with her. Since the two were in elementary school, Chief Mo sent them to boarding school, not even Jixia Academy. After graduating from high school, he sent them to the military academy to receive military training. education. So even if Mrs. Mo wants to participate in their growth, she doesn’t have much chance." Yan Beicheng explained.
"Hearing what you said makes me even more conflicted." Lin Chu picked at her cleanly cut nails and pouted in distress, "Let Jinxi be with Mrs. Mo. I'm not at ease. I'm afraid of Mrs. Mo." I talked to Jinxi too much about her ideas about family status, insisting on distinguishing them into three, six or nine. Human nature is evil, and it has a bad influence on Jinxi. And I can also see that Mrs. Mo actually doesn’t intend to let her go. Jinxi will interact more with people from the orphanage. But that child in Jinxi is very stubborn and does not forget his roots. He will not listen to Mrs. Mo. If it really happens, I am really afraid that they will quarrel."
"Jinxi is a very nostalgic child. He would rather suffer for the people he cares about. He could have put down the personnel affairs of the orphanage without Mrs. Mo stopping him. And I'm worried that Mrs. Mo won't like him if he does this. After all, he has not been in the Mo family since he was a child, and he has only returned now when he is almost eight years old, so it is inevitable that he will be unfamiliar. I am afraid that as time goes by, Mrs. Mo will lose patience with him. "
"Jinxi is a boy. Chief Mo will not leave him to Mrs. Mo to take care of him. He should pay more attention to this grandson of the Mo family. If Chief Mo personally intervenes, you don't have to worry." Yan Beicheng said, Like Mo Jingsheng and Mo Jingyu, if they are handed over to Chief Mo, they will not be raised crookedly.
Lin Chu sighed, "But according to what you said, Jinxi is a boy, and Chief Mo is as strict with him as he was with Mo Jingsheng and Mo Jingyu. He was sent to boarding school at a young age. Jinxi How pitiful it is to leave your family again just after you have recognized them."
After all, Mo Jingsheng and Mo Jingyu had lived at home for several years before going to boarding school.
"And if I want to see him, it won't be easy." Lin Chu muttered in frustration.
Yan Beicheng was helpless by Lin Chu.
Leave Mo Jinxi in the Mo family. Lin Chu is worried that Liang Xiulin has taught Mo Jinxi wrongly. Just follow Chief Mo's educational methods, Lin Chu felt distressed again.
"No matter what, this is the decision of the Mo family. No matter how worried you are, you can't interfere in the education issues of the Mo family." Yan Beicheng said, looking at her quickly, "I think when you give birth to a child, She also has to be a mother who spoils her children.”
"Who said that? I think I can reason with the child." Lin Chu disagreed and put Mo Jinxi's matter aside for the time being.
Yan Beicheng was right. No matter how much she thought about it, the education issues of the Mo family were not something she could interfere with.
We can only watch it then.
…
The Mo family's work efficiency is indeed high. After all, their identity is there. Just a word, and the people below have to rush to get it done for them. In particular, Liang Xiulin couldn't wait even a day, so after two days, all the procedures were completed.
In the past two days, Liang Xiulin ran to the orphanage every day. Every time I bring big and small bags with me, enough to distribute to all the children.
Of course, this was because Liang Xiulin wanted to shut up the old dean. Anyway, she didn't lack those few banknotes.
In the afternoon after the formalities were completed, Liang Xiulin couldn't help but get excited and asked the driver to take her directly to Mo Jinxi's school and wait for Mo Jinxi at the school gate.
The car was the family's private car. It was too eye-catching to use Chief Mo's official car. The license plate number alone was shocking enough.
Liang Xiulin wore sunglasses and saw Mo Jinxi walking out of school through the dark car wrap. Beside him were Shitou and Tiantian.
Liang Xiulin quickly lowered the window and shouted excitedly: "Jinxi!"
Mo Jinxi came over after hearing the sound, smiled shyly at Liang Xiulin, and ran over with the stone and Tiantian.
"Grandma." Mo Jinxi called.
Liang Xiulin opened the door and got out of the car. She reached out to touch Mo Jinxi's forehead and wiped away the non-existent sweat.
It's cold now, and it's hard to sweat even if you exercise. If you sweat, it will be dried by the wind.
Liang Xiulin tightened the lapel of Mo Jinxi's coat before smiling at Shitou and Tiantian, "Get in the car first."
Just as Mo Jinxi was about to go up, he found Shitou and Tiantian standing still, looking at each other with some hesitation.
"What's wrong, come up together." Mo Jinxi waved and saw that the two of them were not moving, so she went to hold one person by the other, "What's wrong with you two?"
Although Shitou and Tiantian are one year younger than Mo Jinxi, they can still see Liang Xiulin's perfunctory treatment of them.
However, Liang Xiulin didn't even want to take care of the two children, and she didn't want to make Mo Jinxi unhappy.
Then he smiled and asked the two children to get in the car.
So Shitou and Tiantian sat in the back with Mo Jinxi, and Liang Xiulin could only sit in the passenger seat.
As the car drove to the orphanage, Liang Xiulin turned around and said to Mo Jinxi: "Jinxi, the procedures have been completed. Today I will take you back to say goodbye to the orphanage, and then we will go home."
Mo Jinxi didn't expect it to happen so quickly and suddenly. He longed for a family, but he didn't know why. At this time, he was not in a hurry to leave the orphanage. Instead, he wanted to be with the old director and the children.
Perhaps he knew in his heart that when he returned to the Mo family this time, it would be difficult for him to have the opportunity to return to the orphanage and meet them again.
"So soon?" Mo Jinxi couldn't help but ask, wanting to talk to Liang Xiulin so that he could come back to the orphanage from time to time.
"You don't want to go home with us?" Liang Xiulin asked in surprise, frowning slightly, "Jinxi, you are our grandson. We have been looking for you for many years. Over the years, we have not been stable even a day because we are worried about you being outside. I'm afraid that you will be killed. Our family has been looking forward to this day for a long time, don't you want to go back with us? Jinxi, we are your relatives."
Mo Jinxi quickly shook her head, "No, I also want to be with my family. It's not that I don't want to go back, I just can't bear to leave the old dean and my younger brothers and sisters."
Mo Jinxi lowered her head in depression and asked in a low voice: "Grandma, when I have a holiday from now on, can I come back to the orphanage to stay for a few days?"
Liang Xiu and Lin Xin said that you are not a child without a home. If you have nothing to do, go to an orphanage.
"Let's discuss this matter later." Liang Xiulin said perfunctorily.
Even Mo Jinxi heard it and refused to give up and said, "Grandma, you promised me that even if I go back with you, I can come back to the orphanage often to see the old director and my brothers and sisters."
Liang Xiulin pursed her lips slightly, suppressed her impatience, and said: "Yes, I promise you can come back to visit often, but if you live there for a long time, you have to visit again. After all, the orphanage is for children who have no home. , what does it matter if you occupy a position there?"
Mo Jinxi lowered his head and muttered: "Chuchu often goes back to stay."
"Anyway, let's talk about it then!" Liang Xiulin said without refusal, her tone became stern, she turned around and sat up straight, and stopped talking to Mo Jinxi.
If she could, she wouldn't want Mo Jinxi to associate with Lin Chu. See what role Lin Chu played? He didn't set a good example for Mo Jinxi.
I don't know how the Yan family thinks that they can accept a daughter-in-law like Lin Chu so easily.
Mr. Yan and Mrs. Yan even went out to show off all day long, but she didn't understand. For someone like Lin Chu, what was there to show off
If Lin Chu wasn't Yan Beicheng's wife, and there was a Yan family behind her, and the Mo family had to interact with the Yan family, she would definitely not let Mo Jinxi get close to Lin Chu.
Mo Jinxi lowered his head in disappointment, Shitou and Tiantian looked at each other, and both looked at Mo Jinxi worriedly.
Originally, Mo Jinxi found his family, and they were all happy for him. But now, it seems that Mo Jinxi is not as happy as before.
The car drove back to the orphanage. As soon as they entered the door, they didn't expect Lin Chu and Yan Beicheng to be there. Liang Xiulin was a little surprised.
She didn't tell Lin Chu and Yan Beicheng that they were going to take Mo Jinxi back today.
Liang Xiulin felt that this was their family matter. There was no need to tell Lin Chu everything about the family matter, and don't be too lenient.
Mo Jinxi was a little tired, but when she saw Lin Chu, she immediately became energetic, shouted "Chuchu" happily, and ran over.
Because of Lin Chu's belly, he couldn't jump directly into Lin Chu's arms like before, but was pushed by his belly.
So he could only stretch out his two short little arms, hugged Lin Chu's big belly, and rubbed his little face against Lin Chu's belly.
Yan Beicheng looked at him as an eyesore, pinched his collar and pushed him aside. Mo Jinxi's legs couldn't touch the ground, and she danced and fluttered back and forth in the air like a little turtle.
Liang Xiulin smiled, "Why are you here?"
"I told Beicheng that the formalities have been completed and I will officially take Jinxi home today." Mo Jingcheng explained without showing any emotion at the side, "Jinxi also wants to meet everyone."
Mo Jinxi nodded vigorously. If there was anyone in the Mo family who could make him feel at ease, it would definitely be Mo Jingsheng.
The children who have lived together for more than seven years, almost eight years, are about to leave here, and the old dean is also sad. Even though he knew that he was going to be with his family and that his future life and future would be better than here, he still couldn't stop the sadness in his heart.
"Are you going to eat here tonight? Leave after eating?" the old dean said to Liang Xiulin.
At this time, he no longer cared about Liang Xiulin's words and deeds. What mattered was Mo Jinxi.
Liang Xiulin didn't want to eat here. What delicious food could be found in the orphanage? Besides, she was planning to ask her aunt at home to cook a big meal tonight as the first meal to welcome Mo Jinxi home.
Then he said, "Old Mo hasn't gotten off work yet. We had agreed to go home and catch up with Jinxi. If he comes over, it will probably be very late."
The old dean smiled and said nothing more.
"Grandma, I want to finish eating here before leaving." Mo Jinxi said, turning to look at Lin Chu.
Liang Xiulin wanted to refuse, so Mo Jingsheng said, "I'll call dad and ask him to come directly after get off work without going home."
As soon as Mo Jingsheng said these words, Liang Xiulin's smile stopped.
But Mo Jinxi grinned and shouted happily: "Thank you, uncle!"
A slight smile appeared on Mo Jingcheng's face, which immediately made his face look much softer.
The old dean touched Mo Jinxi's soft short hair and said, "Tonight, the old dean will prepare a large table of dishes for you. I will cook all your favorite food for you. From now on... there will not be many opportunities like this in the future."
Mo Jinxi nodded, her lips pursed slightly, trying desperately not to cry, but her eyes were red.
Liang Xiulin pursed her lips and couldn't bear to hear what the old dean said. It was so unlucky and sounded like he was cursing Mo Jinxi. His face immediately didn't look very good.
Teacher Yuan couldn't care about Liang Xiulin. Neither she nor Teacher Wang liked this woman. I used to think she was dignified and majestic, which was really blinding.
She bent down and held Mo Jinxi's little face, wiped away the tears on his eyelashes, and said, "Because the dishes in the morning market are all fresh and fresh, the old dean went to the morning market early today and bought a lot of things you like. food."
Mo Jinxi nodded with small movements, raised her arm and wiped her eyes randomly, "In the future... I will come back to the old dean to ask for food."
"Okay, I'll wait for you." The old dean said with red eyes, and took a shaky breath, "I'll go and get ready. If you want to eat from now on, just call the hospital and I'll get it ready. Send it over."
"Yeah." Mo Jinxi pursed her lips and nodded while crying. He held it in so hard that his lips were deformed.
He looked at the gray-haired old dean and said, "I... I will grow up quickly and be filial to you."
"Good boy, the old dean knows you are a good boy." The old dean touched Mo Jinxi's head, "The old dean is waiting for you. My child, don't cry, don't be sad. It's a good thing that you have found your family. I don't want anything in this life, I just want you to live a good life. It's the best if you have such a good family, and they love you and take care of you. This is a good thing, don't cry."
It turned out that the old dean didn't say it was okay. The more he comforted her like this, the more Mo Jinxi couldn't help it and cried "Wow".
"Old dean, I can't let you go, woo woo woo! If only... It would be great if you could go back with me, woo woo woo! I can't let you go..." Mo Jinxi cried.
He raised one arm and lowered his head to shield his eyes, his sleeves soaked with tears.
"Good boy, it's okay. How can you cry after such a good thing? It's not like we won't see each other again, right? You miss us. You can come to see us, and we can also come to see you." The old dean comforted you.
"Yes." Lin Chu also said, "We can still see each other often in the future."
At least, Mo Jinxi was comforted a little bit, and she agreed with a whimper, sniffing, and trying not to cry anymore.
"Good boy, you've cried yourself into a little girl." The old dean took a tissue and wiped his tears, "Shitou and Tiantian are still waiting for you. They have gifts for you."
Mo Jinxi sniffed and turned to look at Shitou and Tiantian.
"You guys talk nicely, and I'll go cook." The old dean patted Mo Jinxi on the shoulder and said.
The old dean went into the kitchen, and Shi Shi brought a small box to him, "Brother Jinxi, I know you have always wanted this. When you were writing down the birthday gift you wanted, I took a sneak glance at it. As small as a mic.”
Shi Shi's thumb and index finger were almost touching and he gestured, "I bought this with my New Year's money."
Although children usually don’t have much pocket money, they can still receive lucky money during the Chinese New Year.
They were all given by people who had walked out of the orphanage before, including Lin Chu, and volunteers.
They don’t give much, some give fifty, some give one hundred, but they can be saved slowly.
Mo Jinxi took it and what Shitou gave was a toy tool box. After opening it, there were wrenches, hammers, screwdrivers and the like. And as a hands-on practice, a complete set of workbench parts is also provided, allowing children to use these tools to put together the workbench themselves, which greatly encourages children's hands-on ability.
Because it is not difficult, you can slowly build it according to the drawings, and it can give your children a great sense of accomplishment.
This year, the old dean asked each of the children to write a birthday wish on paper and the gift they wanted. This is what Mo Jinxi wrote.
This kind of toy tool box also varies in price depending on the number of tools it contains and whether it has a workbench. Like the one given by Stone, it is the deluxe version.
Mo Jinxi knows how frugal Shitou usually is. But in order to give him a gift, I spent a lot of New Year's money.
Mo Jinxi hugged the tool box tightly, "Shitou, thank you, I will keep it well. You wait for me to come back, and we can play together when I come back."
Shi Shi grinned, "Okay."
Tiantian took a big bag, which contained many dolls. Teacher Wang took her to buy them and used her lucky money.
Various colors of cloth, cotton, and black wool serve as hair.
In order to make things look good, Tiantian didn't just make do with rags like she did with her own dolls.
The doll's face is flesh-colored, and the clothes are made of cloth based on the color of the clothes they usually wear.
It turns out that Tiantian made identical dolls for all the children in the orphanage.
It's just that she is young and her craftsmanship is not that exquisite, but she can still be recognized from her hairstyle and clothing.
"I sewed names on the back of their clothes. When you can't come back, when you see these dolls, it's like we are with you." Tiantian said with a smile.
There are so many dolls, and she doesn’t know how much time she spent making them.
Mo Jinxi also put them away properly, "I will put them all up when I go back and look at them every day."
In order to prevent forgetting it when leaving, Mo Jinxi handed it to Mo Jingsheng, "Uncle, let's put this in the car first."
Mo Jingsheng nodded and did not let Mo Jinxi go out. He took the gift and went out and put it in the trunk.
At around six o'clock, Chief Mo arrived.
"Why are you back so early?" Liang Xiulin asked in surprise.
"I left work early." Chief Mo explained and walked towards Mo Jinxi.
Mo Jinxi didn't have much contact with Chief Mo, so she was still nervous about his severity. In order to ease the atmosphere between the two, Mo Jinxi bit the bullet and told Shitou and Tiantian about giving him gifts.
Chief Mo actually raised the corners of his lips slightly. Because he didn't do this action often, he was a little stiff and his face was even worse. It was better not to smile.
