luck on thursday

"……I know."

Benjamin thought for a while, took him into his study, took out a box from the bookshelf, and put it in Joe's hand.

Joe opened the box, and there was a precious pen inside!

The older man shook his head and tapped the black velvet case of the pen: "This is an apology to Joe. Our parents should make up for what Euromba did wrong. Are your feet still hurting?"

"...It doesn't hurt anymore."

Benjamin squatted down so that Joe could just lower his head slightly and be at his level.

He said slowly: "If Joe feels unhappy in his heart, he must tell us—you know? Don't be bored in your heart."

"Then, Eulumba...?" The boy with moist blue eyes still insisted on a faint stubbornness.

Benjamin closed the pen case and pressed it down heavily: "His mother and I will teach him well."

At night when Joe was sleeping, Carrie visited his little room.

When footsteps were heard at the door, Joe was a little vigilant, wondering if it was Orenba who came to pull his quilt in the middle of the night because of his anger?

No, it was Carrie who came in, that slightly fat woman who always had a kind smile.

"I'll see if Joe is asleep." She sat beside his bed with a smile, and Joe moved back somewhat awkwardly.

Qiao answered her politely: "The teacher has assigned reading homework, and I am reading."

"It doesn't matter if you don't do this kind of homework, Joe is just too obedient."

Carrie took out a book, and Joe took a closer look. It was a fairy tale book he would read when he was a child.

She slowly turned to one of the pages: "I'll tell you a bedtime story, Joe, will you sleep well?"

Joe wasn't sleepy at all, and Carrie's actions made him a little creepy.Because before, the couple had never stepped into his room.

Yet today Carrie walked in, even bringing a book of fairy tales... what happened?

The boy nodded and slowly lay down on his back.

Carrie smiled with satisfaction, as if casually telling her: "Tomorrow is the weekend, Joe can sleep in, don't have to get up so early, I will leave breakfast for you.

She began to read a bedtime story: "Once upon a time there was a farmer..."

Joe didn't dare to really sleep in comfortably as Carrie said.

Even on weekends when no one really wanted to get up, he still got up early in the morning and went downstairs to wash the dishes that had accumulated after last night's dinner.

Just as he was getting his hands full of foam, the doorbell rang suddenly.

Joe glanced at the wall clock in the living room strangely. It was only seven o'clock. Who on earth would visit Benjamin's house so early?

He opened the door before he wiped it clean, and saw Benjamin and his wife coming down the stairs in a panic, wearing home clothes of similar styles, and Carrie almost fainted when she saw Joe whose hands were still soaking in the water: "Joe! Didn't I tell you that you can sleep late today?"

Joe was taken aback, and his hand was wiped clean with a cloth that Carrie grabbed.

"You go and sit now, and I'll make breakfast." Carrie wiped every finger of his carefully, and inspected Joe's whole body carefully: "Quick, quick, put on your beautiful new shoes." ! And your new coat!"

The visitor was an unexpected visitor—a staff member of the orphanage.

But it seemed that both Benjamin and Carrie knew that the other party would come. Their house clothes were neat and tidy, as if someone had revealed the exam questions in advance.

They shook hands at the door first, and Carrie still had time to straighten her curly hair and said with a smile, "This is the restaurant. Joe is waiting for my breakfast."

The staff walked up to Joe and saw the boy who had left the orphanage sitting obediently on a chair in the dining room. When he turned around, his eyes were shining, and he looked very energetic.

He laughed: "Joe seems to be living well here."

It was only then that Joe realized that today was the day when people from the orphanage came to conduct spot checks, and the Benjamin family had heard the news from somewhere and made preparations in advance.

The boy opened his mouth, and when he looked up, he saw Benjamin and his wife standing behind the gentleman, staring at him with an inexplicable, seemingly incomparably sticky gaze.

Joe shivered, and gradually swallowed the words on his lips, nodded and said, "Very good."

The gentleman continued to ask with a smile: "How do you usually eat?" He stretched out his hand and pinched Joe's coat, which was very thick and brand new.

Next is as expected, checking out where Joe lives.

It doesn't matter in this aspect, she just went in to observe yesterday.Joe kept his room clean and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it.Carrie thought to herself.

They shook hands again at the door, and Mr. Spot Check sighed: "You have taken good care of Joe, and I hope you can continue to do so in the future."

Orenba himself was also puzzled. At the beginning, he just felt that the game was boring and boring. He wanted a real live playmate to accompany him, but his parents suddenly brought one from the orphanage.

Evil, or the black hair and blue eyes he doesn't like, that's what his little girlfriend just broke up with.

Although that night, Benjamin explained in detail that he still needed a little help at work, to get an adoption certificate or something—he didn’t quite understand it, but he only knew that if he raised Joe, he could get more money .

In this way, after the end of the year, there will be a generous bonus, and the family will have enough money to move to the city center with a better environment!

It can be said that a lot of money——

Eulumba refuted him loudly in surprise, "The adoption certificate will be available in one year! What will happen after that?"

Carrie comforted her angry little son with a smile: "Of course we have a solution. When the matter is over, we will send Joe to the country, and we will never bother you."

"...Then I will endure him for another year!"

"It's only a year, and it will pass quickly."

Carrie casually took out a book from the bottom of Orumba's bookshelf.Euronba frowned sensitively: "Where are you taking the book!"

"I'll go and see Joe, so he won't trouble us."

However, what happened next was beyond Orumba's expectations.

Because, Joe's grades are advancing at an astonishing speed, and he is no longer the bottom bumpkin before!

After class, there are still people who go to talk to Joe, who is still the beautiful little lady in the class.

Joe was also a little surprised, because he didn't have much interaction with this lady before.

"I'm not too clear about this question," he shook his head, the other party was a little disappointed, he didn't expect this answer.

"Then when you really know how to solve it, please come and tell me?" the girl asked.

Before Joe could speak, the other party had already turned and left.

He sighed, and when he turned his head, he saw that Orumba was staring at him so closely that his head was almost on fire.

The two things that Benjamin and his wife bought for the two children in the family were robbed by Olumba alone, so that Carrie could only smile awkwardly, and Joe had to reassure her in turn: "If Olumba wants it, give it to him." gone."

However, it was Orenba himself who couldn't hold it back first, and he finally revealed the source of his anger during this period——

"Why does Ajielina keep coming to you this week?!" he growled in a low voice.

Ejielina was the girl who came to ask Joe questions, and every time she came to him with simple questions, Joe himself was quite puzzled.

Hearing Olumba's question, he reacted instead and asked in surprise, "Do you like her?"

"None of your business!" Olumba pushed him viciously. Unexpectedly, Joe hit the wall with slight pain, "Stay away from her!"

Joe endured the scratch on his back: "She came to find me, and I can't help it."

He walked a few steps outside, and he heard Eulumba shouting loudly behind him: "Don't think that if someone likes you, if your grades improve, you can live here forever and become a superior person! You will soon be killed by me. Send mom to the countryside!"

Qiao suddenly turned around and opened his eyes wide: "What did you say?"

The dean came back from purchasing and was about to enter the door when suddenly there was a pull from her side. When she lowered her head, she realized that it was Joe who hadn't seen him for a long time!

"Joe!" she exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you here! Wait, aren't you supposed to be in school?"

The boy pulled her sleeves into the orphanage silently, sat on the familiar soft leather stool in the small living room, and said dully, "Dean, can I come back here?"

Joe was taken away by the adults anyway.

"Olumba is in a bad mood these two days, Joe don't trust him." Benjamin spoke faster for the first time, "We love you, Joe, otherwise we wouldn't have chosen you among so many children."

Carrie took Joe back to the car, while Benjamin followed the dean to the office.

The dean took out the previous agreement, and Benjamin interrupted her, as if he knew the terms of the agreement well: "I know."

"What's the matter with Joe?" The dean slapped the agreement on the table angrily, making a crisp sound, "Where are you going to send him in violation of the agreement?"

"That's what children say, we didn't make such a decision—please trust us!" Benjamin said anxiously.

The dean put the agreement back in the drawer, and she warned: "When adopting Joe, don't forget that you still have a deposit. The next time Joe runs back to the orphanage, you will be deprived of the eligibility for adoption, and the deposit will also be lost." It will be automatically passed on to Joe."
