I'm working on infrastructure in Xihuan

When Joan buried herself in washing diapers by the river, she suddenly heard someone running towards her all the way calling her name.

"Sister Qiao An! Go back quickly!"

The voice was clear and loud, she turned her head and saw a boy in the relief center, running out of breath, his hair was messy and covered with leaves, he just came back from nowhere, his rough and red face showed an eager expression.

"What's the matter?" Qiao An hurriedly put down the diaper she was scrubbing, wiped her hands on the hem of her skirt and stood up, supporting the boy who was rushing so fast that he almost missed the brakes.

"The steward told you to go back quickly!" The boy was panting while pulling Joan to run towards the relief center, "The lord is here!"

The lord Lord came to inspect. It doesn’t matter if anyone else in the relief center—such as other children or old people—is absent. After all, there are so many people in the relief center, and he doesn’t know who is who. Just look around with a wink and courage, and answer all kinds of questions about the situation of the relief center.

But? The steward is not sure whether the lord wants to see Joan in person. After all, this girl was sent by Lawrence himself. There was a small scandal in the county government. Not sure what it is? The last time he went to the monthly meeting, he was specifically asked about this girl...

The steward thought about it, but still grabbed a fast-running kid and told him to hurry up and call Joan back.

If he had known that the lord was coming, the steward would have made arrangements for everyone, and it would definitely not be like this situation where he was in a hurry to find someone.We all know that subordinates are most afraid of surprise inspections by their superiors. If they have not prepared specially for this, even if they feel that they have done a good job, they will not be able to help feeling uneasy.

Just like the manager's current mood.

The steward thinks that he is not afraid of anyone coming to check his work. During the period of managing the relief center, he did not do anything that could not be known to the lord, although his work performance is not as good as that of his colleagues who are in charge of other projects. Eye-catching, but? The lord lord paid a lot of money, and he was not missed when he was promoted at the end of the year. The steward looked at his future path and felt that the future was still promising, and he would not be so stupid as to search for relief centers. Some oil and water.

What's more, with the workload of the relief center, how could he have extra time to think badly, he was already too tired just to maintain the normal operation, okay?

……

That's why? Both Lucian and Lawrence would have chosen him to run the almshouse.

The various values ​​on the manager's card are not particularly eye-catching, the ordinary R card level, that is, the most common one with a certain ability to complete the work, but not so capable that he can't deliver important projects with confidence, and the same? Sometimes mediocre officials who lack courage and leadership can hardly have much career development.

He doesn't even know how to be lazy, no matter how much he is assigned. The job he doesn't want to take over will complain at most, and he will work hard while complaining. If you praise him, you will only be praised for being careful and gentle, a steady person.

The metaphor of carefulness, gentleness and prudence is timid, conservative and easy to bully. The last thing a place like a relief center needs is strong self-awareness and ambition, as long as the person in charge does his job well.

If it weren't for the honest character of the official in charge, Joan might not be able to live in peace in the relief center, and still have the consciousness to entrust the rest of his life here.

There are also other people in the relief center. Many elderly patients did not have the slightest desire to live at first. It is only after watching the relief center's efforts to support its operations that they have some motivation to live.

In the eyes of the people in the relief center, the steward is a very good person, especially for young children with keen intuition, who are willing to follow the master's orders to do things for him, and will secretly compete for comparison.

The boy who came to look for Joan by the river was affected by the nervousness and urgency of the manager, and he was also in a hurry. Seeing that Joan had to clean up the unwashed diapers by the river, he simply stomped her foot and pushed her aside, urging: "You go, you go! I? Let me wash this for you!"

Joan also knew that the lord could not be kept waiting, so without saying much, she nodded and lifted her skirt, and trotted to the relief center.

She ran, and walked into the relief center? The lord who had met once appeared in her mind. The young man's fair face and blue eyes were still as clear and vivid as yesterday, but they were so far away that she doubted. The memories left over from her previous life.

Qiao An stopped involuntarily, squeezed the broken hair around her ears awkwardly, quickly put down the skirt tucked around her waist, and carefully patted the crease marks on it.

If only I had washed my hands well and then washed them.

Joan couldn't help being so annoyed, she couldn't tell what kind of mood she was in, of course it couldn't be the heart of envy, it was more like she was going to worship something beautiful and noble, she would subconsciously want to take it out I look clean and tidy—if I’m sloppy and unkempt, people can’t step into the gate of the temple.

And this kind of remorse reached its peak when Lucien smiled and gently held her fingertips.

Joan felt that her hand was burning as if it was burning. She bit her lower lip, but she didn't want to throw away the lord's hand rudely. In the end, she could only dodge the other party's sight in embarrassment, as if she had done something? Shameful sorry.

Lucien noticed the girl's embarrassment immediately, but he had no way of knowing Joan's complicated and subtle emotions. For him, this was the first time he met Joan. As for Joan's deep memory At that glimpse, what Lucien remembered was only a vague impression of a group of conscripted laborers.

So Joan's embarrassment was interpreted by Lucien as the discomfort of contacting the opposite sex, which also fits the image of Joanne described by Lawrence. In addition, the vow of never marrying with a white cloth on her head further created an image of resisting men.

"Sorry." Lucien let go of his hand, and he didn't hold it firmly. For married women and shrine maids covered in white cloth, this was a gesture that would not be overly intimate, but more of a friendly and peaceful gesture. .

But? Since the other party resists getting close to men, Lucien will not be so bored as to intentionally make other girls unhappy.

Yes, the malnourished and thin Joan was shorter than Lucien, so Lucien called her a little girl with peace of mind.

Even if the age is really counted, Lucien and Joan are actually within a few months.

With Joan as company, the other guests arranged by the steward are not so necessary. That’s what the relief center is like? It’s a bigger place, and it’s only a few steps away for a stroll. Lucien just stopped by to see the situation. It will only look ridiculous to follow behind.

Apart from Joan, Lucien only left one child behind, and he was the most lively and daring of all the children. The other children timidly hid behind the door, while he hid behind the steward, his eyes wide open. He stared at Lucien slyly.

"Come here." Lucien beckoned to him, and he blinked his eyes, then came out from behind the steward, grinning at Lucien, nothing? The etiquette is yet simple and cute.
