The ideal wish is always so plump and beautiful, but the reality is often so skinny and cruel!

Chen Long went to the bus station square before with confidence and hope, set up a small stall, and waited for a long time, although there were a lot of passengers crowded to come and go, although he was very sincere to invite him, but no one paid attention to him. The main thing is that there are really a lot of people who set up stalls with him to shine shoes and mend bags, and there are actually many competitors in this small investment in the inferior service industry!

One afternoon, there were few people sitting down at his stall and asking him to shine his shoes and mend his bags. Three yuan to polish a pair of shoes, and so far this afternoon, he has not polished a few pairs! It can be said that even the money for tonight's groceries is not enough......

Chen Long has been paying attention to the passage of time, after all, today is the child's first day of school, so in the afternoon, he had to close the stall early and rush back.

He packed all the shoeshine and mending tools into a large bag, hurriedly carried it on the bus, and it took him nearly an hour to get back to school.

It was already seriously overtime, and the school gates had long since been closed, leaving no children in and out and parents coming to pick them up.

Seeing no two children at the school gate, Chen Long immediately panicked and became anxious.

After all, today is the first day of school for my child, and it's in this new and busy big city. If two children were to be lost or abducted by some bad guy, it would be an unimaginably terrible consequence. Alas, it would have been too careless for me to do this today......

Chen Long blamed himself in his heart, and didn't dare to think about anything worse. So he hurriedly ran around the shops around the door......

Unable to find the children, just when he felt more and more scared, and even a little frightened and sweaty, in a small fast food restaurant, he finally saw two children!

I saw Tingting and Xiao Binbin sitting at the dinner table, eating fragrant hot meals. And an old man was sitting next to the child, watching them eat happily and satisfied. The old man helped hold the child's two small school bags in his hands.

Seeing the child, the stone in Long Chen's heart was finally put down. He walked in quickly, stood on the table and shouted to the child:

"Tingting, why did you and your brother come here? Didn't I explain it to you, after school, I and my brother will wait for me at the school gate to pick me up, don't listen to strangers, let alone go with strangers!"

The child who was eating suddenly saw his father appear in front of him, and immediately stopped eating and looked over. Especially Xiao Binbin, who immediately ran over and stretched out his hands to hold him, tears gushed out of his eyes, and his face was full of sadness and grievance!

Chen Long picked up his son, helped him wipe away the tears that were flowing down, and before he could ask, the child cried to him first:

"Dad, there are children bullying me today, I don't want to go to school anymore, I want to be with you......"

Hearing the child's crying, Long Chen hurriedly comforted him and said, "Oh, Dad knows, don't be afraid if Dad is here." Tomorrow morning I will go to school with the teacher and teach the child who bullied you a good lesson. ”

While comforting the child, Long Chen looked at the old man sitting next to Xiao Tingting, and looked at him with a very well-dressed look.

In fact, this old man is Li Feng's grandfather Li Jianzhong, who is extremely eager to have a great-grandson, and has always had very special feelings for children. For this reason, he often comes to the school gate to watch the children live and dance happily when he is in or out of school.

Today, he came to the school gate as usual to visit the children after school, and when the children were about to be picked up by their families, he noticed that Xiao Tingting and Binbin were carrying small schoolbags and had been timidly standing by the wall. Their eyes looked around for the family members who came to pick them up......

Li Jianzhong could see at a glance that these two children should be new to school, and they are children who have never seen the world.

So he went over and tried to question the two children. However, no matter how kindly he smiled and asked them, neither child answered him. Especially Xiao Binbin, who was so frightened that he quickly retreated behind his sister, only to poke out a pair of big eyes and look at him in surprise.

Helpless, Li Jianzhong had no choice but to walk away, but he hadn't gone far yet, and Xiao Binbin, who was hiding behind him, suddenly cried loudly!

Seeing this, Li Jianzhong hurriedly walked back to ask for comfort, and then the anxious Tingting replied to him: "We are waiting for my father to pick up ......"

Hearing her sister's words, Xiao Binbin cried in fear: "Sister, Dad doesn't want us anymore...... Why don't you pick us up? He doesn't want us anymore, what are we going to do? Woo woo ......."

Looking at the child's pitiful crying expression, Li Jianzhong hurriedly comforted him and said, "No, no, how can your father not want you? He is on his way." Don't be afraid to be here......"

"No, you go away!" Listening to the old man's words, Xiao Tingting hurriedly drove him away loudly and alertly, "Dad told me, don't pay attention to strangers, you go away!" I don't want you to care about us!"

The child's fear, super vigilance guarded against him, and being driven by the child, Li Jianzhong had to turn back step by step and leave helplessly.

However, he did not go far, stopped in front of a fruit shop, bought some biscuits and fruit, and tossed back to the two children.

He handed the biscuits and fruit to the child, and said kindly, "Good boy, are you hungry?" I have bought you delicious biscuits and fruit, take them and eat them." Please rest assured, grandpa, I am not a bad person, I am here with you and waiting for your father to pick you up. ”

In the end, the child could not resist the temptation of hunger and delicious biscuits and fruits, but accepted the ......

Later, after eating Li Jianzhong's biscuits and fruits, and hearing his kind comfort, the two children slowly developed trust in the old man.

In the end, after waiting for a long time, he still didn't wait for the family to pick him up, so Li Jianzhong persuaded the children and took them to a nearby fast food restaurant to buy them a hot meal to eat......

Of course, the meeting he had seen in the hospital more than two months ago, and Chen Long didn't remember it at this time. He was now judging in his heart whether this old man was a bad guy or a human trafficker......

Before he could say anything, Li Jianzhong, who had been looking at him, told him first: "I have been waiting for you at the school gate with my child for a long time, why are you a father coming to pick up your child now? The children have been crying at the school gate and are very hungry, so I brought them here to eat." ”

After hearing Li Jianzhong's words, Chen Long, who was doubting in his heart, finally eliminated his worries and understood that this old man turned out to be a kind-hearted person. So I hurriedly thanked him repeatedly:

"Thank you so much, I'm almost going to take you for a bad guy! I've got something to do this afternoon, so I'm late. Thank you so much for helping me take care of the children and bringing them food to eat, I don't know how to thank you enough......"

"Don't say anything grateful, just come to school early to pick up your child in the future. After all, the child is still young and doesn't understand anything, and if he gets lost or is abducted by bad people, the consequences are really hard to imagine!

"Well, thank you for your teaching, uncle, I remember, there will be no more things like today to pick up the children later, and I will definitely come to pick them up on time in the future. Long Chen hurriedly nodded and replied.

...... In the end, the two adults accompanied the children to finish the meal and walked back to the group company together.

Li Jianzhong was a little surprised to know that Chen Long was working as a security guard in the group company, especially when he knew that he was still living in the oldest row of old flat houses in the company. So he asked to accompany the child back and walked into the bungalow where Chen Long lived......

Looking at the neatly packed and very simple daily necessities in the house, Li Jianzhong felt very shabby in his heart, and said with emotion:

"It seems that your life is really not easy. I think back then, I was in a very similar situation to you, and I also started a business with my children. The old house you live in now is left over from the construction of our group company. When the factory was built, it was this house, and I lived there for a while. ”

Hearing what the old man said, Long Chen couldn't believe it: "Ah, you have lived in this house before, old man?"

"yes, I lived there for more than two years. So I have a lot of affection for these houses. Li Jianzhong looked around and replied.

"So you are a veteran of this group company!" Chen Long was very surprised.

"It's pretty much the same, but I'm old and have long since retreated to the second line to recuperate, and this group company has been tortured by young people. Li Jianzhong didn't want to mention too much of his details to him, but simply responded. "However, these houses have been demolished many times by the company, and it is my strong opposition to preventing them that has been preserved to this day. Man. To live always needs something that has nostalgic value......"

"Well, I thank you so much, old man, if it weren't for your request to keep this house, I wouldn't have a place to live today!" Chen Long hurriedly praised him.

Hearing Chen Long's praise and thanks, Li Jianzhong smiled happily and said to him: "Young man, then I won't bother you, I also live in the community of this group company, and now I have to go home to prepare dinner." However, I have a request, I hope I can come here another day and take your two children to play in the company community. These two little kids are so cute, do you agree to such a request?"

"Grandpa, what you said is not a requirement, if you like it, you can come and play with the children at any time, I can't wait for it. Today, you helped me take care of the child and bought food for the child, I really thank you in my heart. Or, in this case, I'll buy groceries and cook right now, and if you don't dislike it, you can stay and have dinner with us. Chen Long invited him from the bottom of his heart.

"No, no!" Li Jianzhong politely refused, "If you can, another day, I'll go back first." ”

After Li Jianzhong finished speaking, he walked over to the two children, touched the children's heads respectively, and then reluctantly said goodbye to the children and left......
