At this time, Zhou Shanjiang shouted in the kitchen: "It's time to eat!"

Li Miaozhuang said to Li Bochuan: "Let's go! Let's eat!"

"Good!"

There were only three of them at the table, and there were two other staff members who were going to take care of the children's dinner, so I didn't eat with them.

After eating a meal, Li Bochuan felt very warm, usually Zhou Shanjiang asked, Li Bochuan answered, and then Li Miaozhuang gave Li Bochuan vegetables from time to time, as if he was afraid that Li Bochuan would be hungry.

It's still the original taste, the taste of childhood, the taste of memory.

Li Bochuan remembers that when he was a child, the welfare institute could not afford to hire workers, and Zhou Shanjiang and his wife were busy with all the work. All the children are taken care of by Zhou Shanjiang and his wife, Li Miaozhuang is responsible for taking the children to play games and sing, and Zhou Shanjiang is responsible for cooking for the children. Li Bochuan still remembers that every time Zhou Shanjiang cooks a meal, especially in the summer, the whole person is sweating, as if he has just been fished out of the water. Now that the conditions have improved, and Zhou Shanjiang and his wife are getting older, it is a little difficult for the two of them to take care of the whole yard, so they hired two workers in the village to relieve them of some of the pressure.

In the process of asking and answering with Zhou Shanjiang, Li Bochuan also knew that his good childhood partner Li Ruiwen would not be able to come back for a while.

Li Ruiwen was Li Bochuan's best partner when he was a child, he was and is now, although they usually have no contact, but as long as they meet, everything is the same as before, and they can talk about it. Li Ruiwen is different from Li Bochuan, that is, Li Ruiwen went to a kitchen school after graduating from junior high school, and now works in a big restaurant in the county, and usually comes back to visit Zhou Shanjiang and his wife. Li Bochuan still remembers that Li Ruiwen told him his ideals before, he said that he wanted to be a big chef, like Zhou Shanjiang, he could cook a lot of delicious meals, Li Bochuan knew that Li Ruiwen liked Zhou Shanjiang's meals very much when he was a child.

Li Bochuan still had a lot of partners when he was a child, but most of them were like Li Ruiwen, they didn't want to study after graduating from junior high school, at most they studied in high school, and then went to work, and even one or two girls of the same age as Li Bochuan were married and had children, and they were married to wives. They go to all corners of society to work hard for their own future, and sometimes come back once a year every two or three years to visit Zhou Shanjiang and his wife.

In fact, Li Bochuan was lucky.

Because he was the only one in the orphanage who went to university. If you want to go to college, of course, you can, but you have to be responsible for your own tuition and living expenses, after all, you are an adult and have the ability to work, and the welfare home is not obliged to help you pay this money.

The reason why Li Bochuan is lucky is because Li Bochuan originally graduated from high school, but Zhou Shanjiang and his wife knew that Li Bochuan wanted to go to college, and Zhou Shanjiang and his wife also regarded Li Bochuan as their own son, so they paid Li Bochuan tuition out of their own pockets, and gave Li Bochuan 1,000 yuan of living expenses every month, which basically met all Li Bochuan's needs and gave Li Bochuan time to study hard. And a large part of Li Bochuan's confusion before actually came from here, because Li Bochuan knew that he didn't want to and couldn't live up to Zhou Shanjiang and his wife, Li Bochuan was afraid that Zhou Shanjiang and his wife would be disappointed, and he didn't want to disappoint them. Fortunately, Li Bochuan will not disappoint them now.

Zhou Shanjiang and his wife paid out of their own pockets to hide from other friends that Li Bochuan went to college, because Zhou Shanjiang and his wife were afraid that they would think they were partial, and they all told them that Li Bochuan earned the money to go to college by Li Bochuan himself.

There is only one person who knows the inside story, and that is Li Ruiwen. Because Li Ruiwen knew what he wanted, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, so he was very happy that his good partner Li Bochuan could go to college.

It stands to reason that Li Bochuan and his family will leave the welfare home after graduating from high school, and they will no longer be able to live in the welfare home when they come back. But because of Zhou Shanjiang and his wife, Li Bochuan and Li Ruiwen live here every time they come back, and they have regarded this place as their home.

"How long can I come back this time?" asked Zhou Shanjiang.

"It's almost a month!" Li Bochuan took a sip of soup, "It should be the sixteenth day of the first month!"

"I'm full!" Li Bochuan said as he drank the soup.

Then Li Bochuan took out 50,000 yuan from his bag, handed it to Zhou Shanjiang, and said: "Uncle, you take this money first, and then go to change a new set of clothes for the children, it is regarded as a gift from me, as an elder brother, to the children, and I can't let them call me brother in vain." ”

"Bo Chuan, you take it back quickly, you can't do this, it's not easy for you to make money, you have to think about your future!" Zhou Shanjiang didn't speak yet, Li Miaozhuang hurriedly said first: "You think, you have to buy a house in the future, and you have to marry a wife, all of which cost a lot of money!"

"Also, there is no shortage of clothes for the children. Hurry up, take it back quickly!" Li Miaozhuang stuffed the money into Li Bochuan's hand.

"Auntie, you can rest assured, what you said is still early, and I'm not worried about this. Li Bochuan put the money on the table again, "Besides, it's almost the New Year, and the children have a new set of clothes to wear, so they can't be happy, and let them have a happy New Year." ”

After speaking, Li Bochuan looked at Zhou Shanjiang, hoping that Zhou Shanjiang could help him speak.

"Miaozhuang, listen to Bochuan. Li Miaozhuang wanted to say something, Zhou Shanjiang pressed his hand towards Li Miaozhuang, signaled Li Miaozhuang not to say any more, and then said: "Bo Chuan, uncle won't say anything, I know your personality, filial piety, since you insist on taking out this money, then uncle will accept it first, and according to what you said, buy new clothes for the children, do you think this is okay?"

"Okay!" Li Bochuan smiled, smiled very happily, from childhood to adulthood, Li Bochuan felt that he had the most sense of accomplishment at this time: "Uncle is right to do this." ”

"Also, uncle, auntie, if you need anything in the future, just tell me, I'll figure it out!" Li Bochuan said very heroically once, "Bochuan will help you solve it." ”

"Okay, good!" Zhou Shanjiang said three good in a row, very pleased that Li Bochuan can say this, and very pleased that Li Bochuan will also get ahead one day.

Li Miaozhuang turned around and secretly wiped away tears from the corners of his eyes, feeling that he had not hurt Li Bochuan's child in vain all these years, which also made Li Miaozhuang sincerely happy.

"Let's have another bowl of soup!" Zhou Shanjiang asked Li Bochuan.

"No, no, no, I'm full!" Li Bochuan said.

At this time, one or two children who had already finished eating came over and said that they wanted Li Bochuan to play with them.

Li Bochuan agreed to come down...
