"Go help Xinchun?"
"Just go, and this is taking care of the children."
Jiuhuayue heard what was said, but just stood next to Muzi.
There is Akai Muko between her and Matsumae Shinharu.
"Did these two kids have a fight?" Dean Hanashiro asked Fujii Itsuki.
"There was a little dispute."
Just when Fujii Itsuki was feeling a little embarrassed, Mrs. Jiuhua invited Dean Hanashiro over again, "Dean, how about we take this opportunity to chat and reminisce about the past? I also want to know what has happened in the welfare home over the years and what the situation is now."
"Natural, natural."
Mrs. Jiuhua was chatting animatedly with the dean.
It has been more than an hour since we sat down and started chatting.
As a junior, Fujii Itsuki just listened from the side and made tea for the two of them and passed them water.
He also eavesdropped on their conversation during this time.
He didn't expect that Mrs. Jiuhua and Jiuhua Longyi had been supporting the welfare home.
When the two met the dean, Fujii Itsuki wasn't even born yet.
Later, the Matsumae family broke up with the Kuka family. It was precisely because of the decline of the Kuka family that the welfare home could not enjoy any policy benefits from the Otaru City Government.
The older people get, the more nostalgic they become. When the dean talked about the old times, she couldn't help but sigh:
"What a change! I never thought that the Jiuhua family would end up in such a difficult situation."
“It’s really unexpected.”
"So that's why Long Yi is trying to find an opportunity to revive the family?"
"Yes."
Mrs. Jiuhua's expression also turned nostalgic. "The Jiuhua family was so powerful in Otaru and Hokkaido back then, but now it is so pitiful. Those who used to curry favor with the powerful and flatter them now laugh at the name Jiuhua."
“It shouldn’t be like this.”
"Dean, people are like this. Everyone is laughing at the Jiuhua family for having only a drunkard head who only knows how to drink and a motherless child who was raised by a drunkard for thousands of years."
This is the story of the Jiuhua family.
Fujii Itsuki, who was listening nearby, felt that the life of that bastard Jiuhua Ryuichi was somewhat inspiring.
The thousand-year-old family has completely fallen into decline, his father is a bastard, and is looked down upon by outsiders. He is determined to revive the family.
These elements add up.
It also feels a bit like the protagonist of a boys' comic.
Mrs. Jiuhua: "Let's not talk about the past, let's talk about the present."
Dean Huadai didn't understand what Mrs. Jiuhua meant.
"Dean Huadai, I wonder if the agreement we made back then is still valid?"
Dean Huadai is a sentimental person. She remembered everything. "Of course, Zhenling, if you need anything now, please feel free to tell me. You have been working so hard for so many years and still support the welfare home. If you need anything, I will do my best to help you."
"Then I'll get straight to the point."
Mrs. Jiuhua smiled slightly. "To be honest, my Xiaoyue likes Fujii Itsuki very much. I hope Xiaoyue can get engaged to Fujii Itsuki after graduation."
Mrs. Jiuhua's words instantly attracted the attention of Jiuhua Yue, Matsumae Xinchun, and Akai Muzi who were playing with the children.
Especially Matsumae Shinharu.
Her expression was solemn.
"Engagement?"
"Yes."
Dean Huadai looked puzzled, "Zhen Ling, you mean Xiaoyue and Shu?"
"Yes."
“That’s not appropriate.”
Fujii Itsuki, who had been serving tea and water, never expected that Mrs. Jiuhua would suddenly point the muzzle of a cannon at his face while they were chatting!
He quickly spoke:
"Ms. Jiuhua, let's not talk about it for now--"
Just as Fujii Itsuki was about to reject the proposal, he noticed Jiuhua Yue's gaze not far away.
The girl kept looking at him.
Mrs. Jiuhua smiled:
"Mr. Fujii? What's wrong? Do you think my Xiaoyue is not worthy of you, or do you think my Xiaoyue is too young?"
At this time, Matsumae Shinharu also looked at Fujii Itsuki.
Two people's eyes.
They all seemed to be expecting his answer.
Fujii Itsuki felt that he was having difficulty breathing.
Somewhat out of breath.
"Jiuhua is a little too young for me now. It's too early to get engaged."
It’s inappropriate to say it’s not appropriate.
If he said something inappropriate, Jiu Huayue would most likely come up to him and slap him in the face.
Then she cursed herself as "scumbag! Bastard!" and ran out crying.
"Early? Of course not. Let's settle this matter first. Make sure everything is done and get everything ready. Only then will we be fully prepared on the engagement day, right?"
"This..." Fujii Itsuki's expression was bitter.
Mrs. Jiuhua smiled and said:
"Besides, being young is not a problem. It's not like Xiaoyue won't grow up. Or does Mr. Fujii dislike young people?"
Can you say you don’t like it?
Can I say it at this time?
"."
Fujii Itsuki felt like he was going to be killed by Matsumae Shinchun's eyes. Her eyes seemed to be constantly asking him questions: "Teacher, why didn't you refuse?", "Teacher, you should have refused."
Fujii Itsuki looked at the dean for help, but he didn't expect that the dean also looked at him in a questioning manner at this time.
At this time, it was Akai Muzi who took the initiative to ask Mrs. Jiuhua:
"Ms. Jiuhua, isn't it inappropriate for you to say this? Putting aside the age issue, Shu is a teacher. How can this be allowed?"
"Age is not a problem, but status is. Xiaoyue will graduate in a year or so, and when she graduates, it will be natural for us to be together."
Mrs. Jiuhua has her own explanation.
Now Dean Huadai also began to feel embarrassed.
On the one hand, she needed to fulfill her promise to the Jiuhua family.
On the other hand, there is Muzi.
Muzi always comes to visit the children and her.
Dean Huadai felt that if she agreed, she would be sorry for Muzi's care for her for so long.
"I'm sorry, Zhenling, I can't answer your promise. Please change it to something else."
Mrs. Jiuhua: "Dean, don't be so hasty to refuse. Xiaoyue, come here."
She waved to Jiuhuayue and pulled her to her side.
"Xiaoyue, talk to the dean yourself. Do you agree with what your mother said?"
".got engaged?"
"Correct."
Jiu Huayue's eyes were also somewhat hesitant, not knowing whether it was because she had met the parents, and she felt a little uneasy, but she quickly adjusted herself and said directly:
"I certainly would."
Mrs. Jiuhua asked Fujii Itsuki again: "Did Mr. Fujii refuse?"
"Ms. Jiuhua, it's really too early to talk about this now."
"I'm not just asking about the engagement, but also about the relationship between you and Xiaoyue. You have a very good relationship, right?"
Refuse?
Can this be rejected?
If I say no now, doesn’t that mean I hate Jiuhua?
And he doesn't want to be responsible for anything she does.
Before Mrs. Jiuhua could reply to Fujii Itsuki, she immediately said to Dean Huadai:
"Dean, look, what a great result!"
Dean Hanashiro looked at Akai Muzi in embarrassment. She had never expected that Muzi would nod at this time.
What's going on here?
"Dean." Mrs. Jiuhua asked again.
Dean Huadai's thoughts were very confused at this time.
She had no idea what had happened during this period.
Why did Zhen Ling talk about engagement right away?
Why didn’t Ashu just refuse directly?
