The expansion project went smoothly. The project that was originally thought to take several months was actually completed in just one month. Xuan Ruoxi gave a thumbs up for its high efficiency. The children were happy because they had a new playground.
Jump up and down!
"Wow, so beautiful! Sister Ruoxi, will this place be for us to play in the future?" Lulu looked at the playground in front of her as if she was dreaming.
"Of course, you can not only play, but you can also exercise, read, and listen to music." The playground has safe sports equipment, long chairs, swings, children's slides, and plants of every season around it.
There are flowering plants, a few fruit trees, and even a small vegetable garden. These ideas are all memories of past lives.
"This is a small vegetable garden. I will teach you how to fertilize and water the vegetables in the future. These are fruit trees. When they grow up, we can pick the fruits ourselves. There is also a slide here. There is a swing frame over there. Okay.
Listen to music while reading." Xuan Ruoxi led the children and slowly introduced the entire playground.
Finally, she reached a small circular catwalk. She stepped up, stood in the center, spread her arms, and said to the children: "There is another place here! This is the performance stage I prepared for you. Who is willing to do it?"
Come up and perform a performance to celebrate the completion of our playground!"
"I do!"
"I am willing too!" Several children volunteered. Lulu could sing and Liangliang could dance. Others applauded. In an instant, laughter and laughter filled every corner of the orphanage.
Dean! Did you see it? Our playground is built. The children are very happy and like it.
"I want to sing to the dean's mother." The lovely Lulu spread her arms, and her sweet singing voice floated in the air, with blue sky and blue clouds, and warm sunshine. Everyone had a happy smile on their face.
The black car slowly drove into the gate of the villa. Huo Jiyun got out of the car. He had a tall and sturdy figure. He walked into the hall with steady steps. The old man sat at the dining table and waited for him.
"grandfather!"
"Here you go, sit down quickly, Mother Wu! Let's serve the food."
Apart from Mr. Huo, there are only servants in the villa.
A housekeeper, two cooks, two aunts, a gardener, and a driver.
Therefore, Huo Jiyun would take time to come back and have dinner with the old man even when he was busy.
"Ji Yun, have you visited Ruoxi recently?" Due to his health, Mr. Huo did not go to the funeral of Dean Xuan, but asked Huo Jiyun to do it for him. Of course, he did it intentionally. In this way, outsiders would
I know that the orphanage has the support of Mr. Huo.
This was also something he had agreed to privately with the Dean of Propaganda.
"I just went there yesterday."
"Oh, has the amusement park been built?" Although the old man seems to be indifferent to worldly affairs at home, in fact, he still pays attention to everything in the outside world, such as: the welfare home, Xuan Ruoxi.
"It's built! The project went smoothly and the workers' fees have been paid."
"Well, I can rest assured that you will do the work! Ruoxi should be very grateful to you, right?" Mr. Huo said with a smile.
"Yes, she is very grateful. Especially 'thank you'!" The last three words were deliberately emphasized.
"Oh! Should I go and take a look?" Mr. Huo pretended to be embarrassed.
"Grandpa, do you want to go?" Huo Jiyun pretended to ask.
"What do you think?" The old man joined his army.
The conversation between the grandfather and grandson made the servants on the side laugh.
The next afternoon, Mr. Huo really went to Xifuyuan. However, this time he did not ask Huo Jiyun to accompany him, but sent a car to go there himself. When Xuan Ruoxi saw the old man appearing at the door, he was surprised and at a loss.
"Mr. Huo, why are you here?"
"Ruoxi, my old man is here, do you welcome him?"
"If you are from somewhere, it is an honor for us at Xifuyuan to have you come."
"Haha, it's not necessary to be honored, as long as you don't dislike me as an old man for being troublesome."
"Old man, you have embarrassed me, my little girl."
"Oh, and the little girl said that?" The old man was instantly happy. He felt that Xuan Ruoxi was not only beautiful, but also cute.
"Most of the titles in ancient times were different from today. Women were called women, men were called men, teachers were called sir, master, and promising young people were called heroes and young men."
"Haha! I didn't expect that Ruoxi still understands this. The old man has learned a lesson." Listening to her many titles, Mr. Huo laughed out loud.
"It's worth it if you can make the old man smile." When treating the elderly, Xuan Ruo naturally feels more pity.
"Okay, you are good at talking and lovable. The old man likes you. Ruoxi, please be my granddaughter-in-law. I will make Ji Yun devoted to you wholeheartedly." Xuan Ruoxi did not expect that the old man would say it so directly. She was shocked.
His face suddenly couldn't hold it back.
"What's the matter, you don't want to? Still you don't like my Ji Yun?" The old man put away his smile and looked at her seriously. Xuan Ruoxi felt embarrassed, so she had to stand up and bow deeply to the old man.
"I'm so grateful for the old man's love. Ruoxi is grateful. However, the dean has just left and I really can't think about other things."
"Oh, that's right, I was the one who was rude. After all, the dean has just left, so let's wait for a while. Let you get to know each other first and then talk about it after you like each other. Do you think it's okay?" Mr. Huo changed his tone.
Ruo Xi didn't know how to answer. Facing the old man's earnest eyes, she couldn't say anything about rejection. In the end, she had no choice but to nod.
"Hey, that's right! Okay, take me to see your newly built playground. Ji Yun said it's very good!"
"Yes, the children like it very much. Speaking of the playground, I would also like to thank the old man for his generosity and willingness to help others."
"Hey, these are all small things, the main thing is to make the children happy!" Xuan Ruoxi pushed Mr. Huo to the playground, where the children were playing separately.
The swing frame is a little girl's paradise.
Slides are a paradise for young children.
The long chair is a perfect place for reading and painting.
All limbs are normal and are being exercised on exercise equipment.
I couldn’t do anything or play, so I just watched, laughed, and applauded.
Seeing such a harmonious scene, Mr. Huo was deeply moved.
"Okay, that's great." He understood why Dean Xuan liked these children.
Innocent and pure.
"Children, Grandpa Huo is here, come and say hello!" Xuan Ruoxi gave the order, and the children all ran over.
"Hello, Grandpa Huo!"
"Okay, okay, hello!" Mr. Huo couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.
I didn’t expect that I could be called “Grandpa” by so many children!
"Ruoxi, I'm very happy today! I'll come back next time when I'm free. Do you welcome me?" After staying in Xifuyuan for two hours, Mr. Huo planned to leave.
"Of course you are welcome!"
"If you need any help, just tell Ji Yun and he will be happy to help." The old man spoke for his grandson whenever he had the opportunity.
"I understand, Mr. Huo."
"What did you call me?" The old man pretended not to hear clearly.
"I——" Xuan Ruoxi was a little embarrassed.
"If you are willing, I want to hear you call me Grandpa Huo! Just like the children, do you agree?" Under the expectant gaze of the old man, Xuan Ruoxi simply could not refuse.
"Grandpa Huo!"
"Hey! That's right. You'll have to call me that from now on."
"Okay, follow your orders! Grandpa Huo!"
"So good, I like it."
After seeing the old man off, Xuan Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not that the old man is difficult to serve, but that she is afraid of hearing some words that she cannot bear.
