Chapter 484: Childish Son
The ancients said, "Wealth does not return to the hometown, like brocade clothes at night!"
However, Zhang Yifei didn't have the idea of returning to his hometown to show off, Zhang Yifei returned to Lijiang today, just to surprise the old dean and make the old man happy.
I'm afraid the old dean couldn't have imagined that he walked on the front foot, and Zhang Yifei followed on the back foot.
Some people didn't go back to see their younger brothers and sisters, and at this moment Zhang Yifei's heart had already flown to the orphanage.
Lijiang City No. 1 Orphanage is located in the eastern suburbs of Lijiang City, a barren land for many years, there is close to the countryside, but there is a small market, here is the only way to enter Lijiang City, so the drivers of all walks of life tend to stop and eat before entering the city, some large trucks are not allowed to enter the city during the day, truck drivers even have to wait until the evening in this bazaar, the prosperity of the bazaar has driven the surrounding industries, especially the catering industry, so it also provides additional financial resources for the children of the orphanage, the bazaar can always see some children of all sizes, waiting outside the door while the restaurants are prosperous, waiting for the guests to finish eating, they will flash in quicklyto pick up empty beer bottles, cans, etc. left by guests.
Beer bottles are sold at the scrapyard for two cents each, and cans for one cent.
The children in the orphanage are frequent visitors to the scrap station, and people can often see those children of all sizes with runny noses, small faces and dirty hands, but standing outside the scrap yard, carefully counting the banknotes in their hands, and then collecting the money into the hands of the older children, the older children will return to the yard with their younger siblings and hand over the money they have earned to the old dean.
Looking at the old dean's guilty but forced smiling face, the children let out a burst of cheers as if they were celebrating a holiday.
Almost every child in the orphanage has a childhood like this, it is a large poor family, and everyone is making a small contribution to this family.
This home is poor but warm, and every child who leaves home remembers it no matter where they are.
The scenery outside the car window passed quickly, and Zhang Yifei looked at the familiar bazaar, the familiar restaurant, and the scrap yard owner who hated but had to rely on...... With a few blinks of his eyes, Zhang Yifei held back the wetness in his eyes.
Zhang Yifei was very puzzled, over the years, he and Song Liyan have not given money to the old dean's card, but the old dean has never moved, he has always let the children in the orphanage always make a living by picking up rags.
All the children in the orphanage wandered around the bazaar like little begging for food, enduring the discriminatory gazes of the restaurant owner and the guests to compete for the broken bottles.
Zhang Yifei was puzzled and didn't understand, he wanted to give these orphanage children their own dignity, but was rejected by the old dean.
The old dean told Zhang Yifei: "I have taken them in, and now I can still give them a little food and clothing, but what if it is a hundred years later!"
After Zhang Yifei heard the old dean's words, he instantly fell silent, because he didn't know how to refute.
Looking out the window, Zhang Yifei's eyes were red, this bazaar gave him too much bitterness and pain in his childhood, and when he saw it again, the painful memories in his heart seemed to be churning.
I can't look back, I don't want to look back.
Zhang Yifei couldn't help but pat Meteor's shoulder: "Hurry up and drive over!"
Meteor was just about to speak, Zhang Yifei suddenly saw a familiar figure outside the car window, crying and running.
"Stop!"
For a moment, Zhang Yifei was dumbfounded and shouted loudly.
Meteor hurriedly braked and just wanted to speak, but Zhang Yifei had already opened the car door and walked down quickly.
Not far ahead, a six-year-old, tattered little girl is running fast, her little face is full of horror, tears are flowing with the bumps of running, behind her, a black wolfdog is barking and chasing after her, the little girl is crying while running, but she is clutching an empty beer bottle in her hand and refuses to let go.
A man and a dog were chasing, but there was a burst of playful and malicious laughter behind them, and a man and a woman stood at the door of a restaurant with their arms crossed, as if they had watched a good show, showing a mocking and happy look.
Zhang Yifei knew them, they were husband and wife, they owned a small restaurant, and the business was very good, in the past, the children in the orphanage came into their restaurant to pick up beer bottles, and they were always scolded by them, sometimes even punching and kicking.
When Zhang Yifei first came back, he encountered such a scene, Zhang Yifei was furious in his heart and wanted to kill the couple, but the old dean repeatedly blocked him, and Zhang Yifei gave up.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Zhang Yifei instantly understood what was going on.
The girl who was chased by the dog was a child from the orphanage, named Gulan, a very clever and lovely child, as pure as an angel.
The angel fell into the world, but suffered so sadly, Zhang Yifei felt that his heart was crumpled at this moment.
"Lan'er, come to me. Zhang Yifei strode forward.
The dog was chasing after him, and the frightened Gu Lan saw Zhang Yifei through his hazy teary eyes, his stubborn little face suddenly collapsed, and he cried out in a voice: "Brother Yifei,!"
Zhang Yifei stepped forward and picked up Gu Lan, the vicious dog still pounced on Zhang Yifei, Zhang Yifei's eyes breathed fire, and after picking up Gu Lan, he kicked out like lightning.
"Bang!"
Zhang Yifei kicked the dog out with a kick, and the dog that fell to the ground did not react in an instant.
Gu Lan was tightly held in Zhang Yifei's arms, crying aggrieved and sad, his little hands covered with scars still clutching the beer bottle tightly, refusing to let go at all.
Zhang Yifei hugged Gu Lan tightly, and tears flowed down.
All the children in the orphanage are his younger brothers and sisters in Zhang Yifei's heart, and his elder brother is infinitely beautiful outside, but his younger brothers and sisters are suffering here.
This made him embarrassed.
Self-blame, Zhang Yifei's heart was full of deep self-blame.
"Brother Yifei, you're back, don't go, okay, take us to pick up the bottle, with you, those people won't dare to bully us." Gulan said as he cried.
In the hearts of the children in these orphanages, Zhang Yifei is omnipotent, their patron saint, as long as he is there, no one dares to bully them.
Zhang Yifei looked at Gu Lan with tears in his eyes and said, "Brother Yifei is sorry for you, Brother Yifei bastard, I shouldn't have left here......"
Gu Lan was very sensible and stretched out his hand to help Zhang Yifei wipe away the tears on his cheeks and said: "Brother Yifei, it is the best, in our hearts, only Brother Yifei and Brother Li's grandfather are the best for us, and everyone else is a bad person!"
Why should they suffer such a life, in their eyes, there are only three good people in this world, and the others are all bad people.
But who can be blamed for this, only the complexity of this society, and those who were born with them but lost their parents.
!!!!!!!!,。
