Therefore, this desk lamp accompanied the old dean for many days and nights.
On the desk, Chen Ming saw a lot of books. The types of books were very miscellaneous and basically covered all aspects. The most common ones were children's publications.
The entire orphanage has been renovated.
Only this room remains intact.
There was even a light layer of dust on the desk.
The original quilt and sheets on the bed also had a layer of dust on them, so the aunt took them out to wash and replaced them with new ones.
Suddenly, Chen Ming imagined the old dean sitting here reading a book in his mind.
In the quiet night, the old dean browsed books by the light of the desk lamp.
In the room, the sound of turning pages could be heard from time to time.
In addition, the old dean also had the habit of going to the dormitory building every night to check. In the past, there were no security guards and the door was very broken, so people could break in at will.
For the safety of the children, the old dean would go out to check the children's dormitories at midnight.
Sometimes I can't sleep, so I get up at three in the morning to check again.
Chen Ming sat on the chair, flipping through the books in front of him like the dean did.
After a while, Chen Ming found that he had no intention of reading at all.
On the first day back in Yuncheng, Chen Ming spent the night in the orphanage.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Chen Ming got up and went to open the door. The moment he opened the door, Chen Ming was stunned.
Outside the door, it was not Auntie, not Han Bingbing, but Su Rou.
"How did you come?"
Chen Ming was a little surprised.
Su Rou was holding a large thermal box: "I'll accompany you."
Chen Ming was stunned for a while, then hugged Su Rou: "Thank you."
To be honest, Chen Ming is not the kind of person who easily goes to extremes.
Whether it was Han Bingbing's worry or Su Rou's concern, Chen Ming wanted to explain it.
But then I thought about it,
There is no need to explain, he just needs to know that these people care about him, that is enough.
Su Rou brought a piece of porridge to Chen Ming, thinking that Chen Ming had no appetite and might not have eaten much at night, so she ate some porridge to help digestion.
Warm the lower abdomen with porridge.
Chen Ming's mood also improved a little.
When it gets late at night,
Chen Ming lay on the bed with Su Rou in his arms and began to tell what happened when he was a child.
Talking and talking,
He himself fell asleep first, and Su Rou stared at the sleeping Chen Ming with a pair of bright eyes.
Su Rou subconsciously stroked Chen Ming's cheek. Although the man holding her in her arms was not handsome, he always gave people an inexplicable sense of security.
only,
Now the man is going through a long period of heartbreak.
There is no way to comfort the trauma of the death of a loved one.
When Su Rou's mother passed away, Su Wen seemed to be a different person. He didn't say a word all day long and also contracted the bad habit of alcoholism.
If Su Chuanxiong hadn't beaten him several times, Su Wen might have lived a life of inaction.
For Chen Ming,
The old dean is his father.
I don’t know how long it will take to get over this kind of psychological trauma.
"Go to sleep, you'll be fine tomorrow."
Su Rou muttered and subconsciously hugged Chen Ming's waist tightly.
in sleep,
Chen Ming also hugged Su Rou tightly.
The next day.
Chen Ming woke up from his sleep. That night he had a dream. He dreamed that he made a mistake as a child and the old dean spanked him.
After waking up from the dream,
Chen Ming himself smiled helplessly.
In her arms, Su Rou was still sleeping soundly.
Chen Ming then remembered that he fell asleep first while chatting last night.
Chen Ming felt uncomfortable, and Su Rou also felt uncomfortable.
In fact, Chen Ming knew it in his heart.
Su Rou came to the orphanage to stay with him last night, just to help him share some of his psychological sorrow.
Thinking of this, Chen Ming leaned over and kissed Su Rou's forehead, got up and went out to prepare breakfast.
The children haven't woken up yet.
The only people still awake in the orphanage now are the two aunts who got up early to cook, and Chen Ming.
Chen Ming started making breakfast for the children. The old director was no longer here. From now on, he would be the oldest child in the orphanage and he would have to pay more attention to these children.
after breakfast,
Chen Ming urged again: "Bingbing, when you are done with your work, go back to school early and come back after the holidays."
From Chen Ming's tone, he seemed to have recovered from the death of the old dean.
As for whether he is truly relieved, no one knows.
Logically speaking,
When Chen Ming returned to Yuncheng, he should have gone to the branch. After all, he was already the music director of the branch, and some things were still waiting for him to deal with. But Chen Ming put everything off.
He even canceled the New Year's party in December.
Su Chuanxiong conveyed Chen Ming's thoughts to Zhu Yiguan, who was very puzzled.
We had already arranged things, why did we suddenly stop participating?
The New Year's party is not a small party.
Even the New Year's Eve party of the Yuncheng local channel was very important. Many artists were eager to perform a show, but Chen Ming actually declined.
Of course, it is not difficult for the party director to temporarily replace a program.
But the problem is,
Chen Ming's behavior of going back on his word can easily make people feel disgusted.
Zhu Yiguan and Su Chuanxiong were old friends, and they made their dissatisfaction with Chen Ming clear over the phone.
After Su Chuanxiong finished explaining, Zhu Yiguan remained silent for a long time on the other end of the phone and said, "I will arrange for him to attend the party again next year if I have the opportunity."
After experiencing great tragedy in life, Chen Ming had no intention of focusing on work.
Instead of working absentmindedly, it is better to put everything away and wait until your mood is a little better before thinking about work.
November 10th.
The old dean was buried.
He was buried in the first-level funeral cemetery in Yuncheng. The tombstone was engraved with the old director's name, birth, and date of death, and under the name was a small line of words: Director of the Yuncheng Xingfu Orphanage.
Before the funeral, Chen Ming had been thinking about whether to tell the children the truth.
After thinking about it for a while, I gave up.
Just let them grow up happily, there is no need to tell them these sad things.
Therefore, there were very few people at the funeral.
In addition to relatives of the two old deans Chen Ming and Han Bingbing, there are also three members of the Su family.
Simple in life;
The same is true after death.
The old director spent his whole life fighting for the orphanage, but unfortunately he did not die and ended up seriously ill.
after the funeral,
Yuncheng ushered in a rare autumn rain.
This is also the last autumn rain of the year!
From this day on, there was no news about Chen Ming on the Internet.
J,
I couldn't get any information about Chen Ming.
It was as if Chen Ming had disappeared from the Internet.
Only the upcoming new drama "The Beginning" is still highlighting Chen Ming's presence.
