The dean said so, but the people who can work now are all elderly people.
Fujii Itsuki talked with Director Hanashiro about the welfare home and found that there were no major problems with the welfare home at the moment, and the biggest lack was caregivers.
The entire welfare home relies on the director and Aunt Huizi to maintain daily operations and take care of the children's daily lives, which is really too difficult.
It is impossible to ask the government to increase funding as they can barely take care of themselves.
"I'll think of a way to deal with this. How about I go back to the orphanage and help you?"
Director Huadai smiled and said, "Our welfare home cannot afford to hire top students who graduated from Kyoto University."
"I don't need any wages."
Dean Hanashiro just shook his head.
When Fujii Itsuki saw this, he knew that the dean would not agree to his request.
"By the way, Shu, you don't have a place to live in Otaru yet, right?"
Fujii Itsuki came back to his senses from the question of how to increase the staff of the welfare home. "A place to live? I can live in any storage room in the welfare home."
Fujii Hanayo shook her head. "There are more than 30 children in the welfare home now, which is more than when you were there. The place has now been transformed into a place for the children to sleep."
"Then I'll stay in a hotel downtown for a few days and find a job."
"You know that hotels in Otaru are not cheap. I thought about this problem for you at noon. There are currently no good jobs in Zhujin. You must stay near the city center. The cheaper the rent, the better."
"President," Fujii Itsuki heard the director's words, "do you have any good places to recommend?"
"Rather than a recommendation, it's more like there's a place that's perfect for you to stay for a few days. Do you remember the beautiful kid you saw this morning?"
Fujii Itsuki recalled for a second, and the unique pair of purple eyes appeared in his mind, "Jiuhuayue?"
"That child, the Jiuhua family's ancestral home is in Otaru, and they have another home in the city, and she lives there. Now that she has returned to live alone, she doesn't need such a big house. Not only is it difficult to maintain, but her parents are also a little worried--"
"Wait, Dean, you're not going to ask me to live in her house and watch over her, are you?!"
"It's just a temporary stay for a few days, until you find a good job and a good house."
"If it doesn't work, I can stay at Mr. Nagano's hot spring hotel."
"I called him at noon and asked him. It's the peak tourist season now, and all the rooms there are booked."
"Dean."
Fujii Itsuki was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry, recalling the scene in the morning when he and she almost got into a fight.
"Let's put aside whether this is appropriate or not. Will she agree? Will her parents agree?"
"Don't worry about her parents. They know you. I asked you to go over there to help her parents look after the child and take care of her."
Fujii Itsuki laughed again, "I understand that, but will she agree?"
"Just now when you went to deliver the clothes, I called her."
"Definitely a no."
"She agrees."
".?"
At the same time, standing outside the office door, Yang Kui Chitose lowered her head, her face darkened, and she whispered to herself:
"Why Jiuhua again?"
Chapter 9 A man who has always been single is a real man
Chitose was called back to the store by Mr. Nagano to help. Fujii Itsuki wanted to help the welfare home prepare dinner, but the director disagreed.
In the words of the dean, you have been traveling all day and then took the bus back early the next morning. You are exhausted from the journey, so you should settle down in your new home first.
That’s okay.
According to the location information provided by the dean, Fujii Itsuki took the tram to the door of a villa south of the center of Otaru City.
The nameplate next to the door - the table has the words "Jiuhua" written on it.
Pulling his suitcase, Fujii Itsuki looked at the building in front of him through the carved iron gate with his chin pinched.
It is a very large, three-story villa, built in Western style with red bricks. The area including the yard is estimated to be more than 300 square meters.
Judging from Fujii Itsuki's historical knowledge, this is probably a building left over from the Taisho period. People in the Taisho period liked to build this kind of Western-style building, built with red bricks and equipped with Western-style doors, windows and partitions.
Then, wealthy people in Japan like flowers and plants in their gardens, so they decorate the areas around their buildings with flowers, plants and ponds.
It's inside this house.
There are quite a lot of Western-style houses like this in Otaru, most of which are relics left behind by wealthy people in the past.
That’s right, the Jiuhua family is indeed the Jiuhua family that was once a famous merchant in Hokkaido.
Fujii Itsuki just felt that the house was so big that it would be a hassle to weed and clear snow.
After waiting for five seconds, the intercom next to the door was connected and an inquiring voice came out.
"Who?"
"I."
Perhaps having recognized Fujii Itsuki's voice, the person on the other end of the intercom paused:
"Pervert uncle?"
"Call me Fujii Itsuki." Fujii Itsuki had a blank expression on his face.
"Come in first and wait for me at the door."
As soon as he finished speaking, the intercom was hung up.
There was still a little snow in the sky and it was still a bit cold outside.
Fujii Itsuki originally thought that the girl would deliberately make things difficult for him before letting him in, but he didn't expect her to be so straightforward.
Two seconds after the intercom was hung up, the carved iron gate of Jiuhua's villa opened.
What comes into view is a cobblestone path that leads directly to the large red brick villa.
The lawns on both sides were covered with white snow, huge rocks were piled around the frozen pond, and a dwarf pine tree was covered with white snow, extending crookedly outside the iron wall.
It's a fairly large courtyard in front of the house.
Fujii also saw a snowman beside the path, near the pond. It had a carrot nose, a smile on its face, a red scarf, and raised a hand made of branches, as if waving to welcome the people at the door.
That little girl did it?
Quite free time.
I pulled the suitcase up the stairs and came to the main entrance of the villa. After standing at the door waiting for two minutes, the door suddenly opened a crack.
Jiuhuayue's head just popped out from the gap. She pried the door open with both hands. The beret on her head was gone, and her purple eyes were clean and shining.
The girl half closed her eyes:
"Why do you smell like cigarettes?"
"What stressed-out adult doesn't smoke?"
"Let me confirm again, are you in danger?"
"It's not dangerous. On the contrary, you will be very safe after I come. At least you don't have to worry about thieves targeting this house."
"There's nothing valuable here."
"A thief wouldn't think that this is the Kuka family, a wealthy man's house left over from the Taisho period."
Jiu Huayue was not interested in what he said and continued to ask, "Do you have any quirks, such as liking little girls?"
"Do you think I would tell you about this fetish?"
The girl immediately wanted to close the door.
Fujii Itsuki stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Just kidding, I'm a serious teacher. Didn't the dean tell you that?"
"I don't see anything serious about you."
"You are so serious in your free time. You are just asking for trouble."
"Not only did the dean say you're good, they also agreed to let you move in." Jiu Huayue lowered her head and muttered softly.
"What are you talking about?"
Jiu Huayue raised her head, full of vigilance, "Let me make it clear first, it's not me who agreed to let you move in, nor do I trust you, a perverted uncle, it's my parents' request, and for the sake of the dean, I reluctantly agreed to let you move in."
"If the dean hadn't asked me to keep an eye on you, I wouldn't have come to live with you."
"I need to tell you a few rules first. You can only move in after you agree."
"You speak first."
"First, my first impression of you was very bad, so I really don't like you. I can even say I hate you."
"I agree. I don't like you either, a girl who is not frank."
"Second, we are just taking what we need from each other. I will deal with my parents, and you will deal with the dean while renting a house for a few days to find your job. There will be no other intersection between us."
“That makes sense.”
"Third, your room is on the first floor. You are never allowed to go up to the second floor without my permission, or I will kick you out and make you sleep in an ice cave."
"Even if I go out, I won't be stupid enough to sleep in the snow."
"Fourth, you are responsible for the hygiene of the first floor. You must clean it twice a week. If there is a lot of snow on the courtyard road, you are responsible for shoveling it. If you fail to do so, I will directly deduct your deposit."
"Your house is so big, and you leave the entire first floor to me to clean? I'll be exhausted."
"Sweeping the floor doesn't mean you have to clean everything. The furniture is basically covered with dust sheets, and I didn't take them down. And, most importantly, no smoking!"
When Fujii Itsuki heard that smoking was forbidden, he immediately refused, "This is an unequal treaty."
"I am the owner of the house!" Jiuhuayue emphasized.
"I'm just a temporary landlord. If that's how you want to arrange it, then I don't have to live here anymore. I'll find a place to rent on my own. I don't tolerate people's bad habits."
