Chapter 427: Jiang Xiaofan (Third Update)
In a fast food restaurant with bright windows on the street, Li Yan ordered a few dishes, ordered two cups of juice, and sat at the table face to face with Jiang Xiaofan, Jiang Xiaofan was the child who stole books from Xinhua Bookstore, Li Yan helped him pay for the book in the bookstore and brought him out of Xinhua Bookstore, the security guard did not want Li Yan to take Jiang Xiaofan away, but Li Yan opened his ID and shook it in front of the security guard, and he smoothly changed the security guard's mind and walked out of Xinhua Bookstore with a smile.
After Jiang Xiaofan followed Li Yan out of the bookstore, he hugged the two books tightly in his arms and followed Li Yan without leaving.
"Little guy, why don't you go home and follow me?" Li Yan said with a smile.
"I don't have a home. Jiang Xiaofan lowered his head and said sullenly, no longer unruly in the bookstore.
"You don't have a home, who cares about a child's food, clothing and housing?" Li Yan asked with a smile, he could feel that this child should be in conflict with the family, so he was talking angrily.
"They don't care about me anyway, it doesn't matter if I have a home or not. Jiang Xiaofan replied, still in that muffled voice, but with a little more grievances.
"You said they were your parents, how could they ignore you?" asked Li Yan with a smile.
Jiang Xiaofan didn't speak, just lowered his head and followed Li Yan closely, following in unison.
"The day is over, you should go home, otherwise your parents will be worried, otherwise, where do you live, I will drive you back." Li Yan saw that Jiang Xiaofan was still following him, so he made an idea for him.
"I'm not going back. Jiang Xiaofan said stubbornly.
"I said, why are you so stubborn, so be it, I'll treat you to a meal, and then send you home, this time you have to be obedient, or I'll leave you here now. Li Yan realized that this child couldn't help but look at the stall on the side of the road to buy snacks, and wanted to be a good person to the end, so he said.
"Well, thank you, I know your name is Li Yan, and I will remember you. Jiang Xiaofan nodded to Li Yan, but this time he did not refuse Li Yan's kindness, and said very seriously, when Li Yan took out his certificate in Xinhua Bookstore and held it up to the security guard, he saw the name on the certificate clearly.
"I'm not helping you to make you remember me, forget it, you're still young, you don't understand this to tell you, let's go, I'll take you to dinner." Li Yan smiled, and quickened his pace after speaking, he didn't plan to take Jiang Xiaofan to any big hotel, a fast food restaurant not far away had a bright window, which was very suitable, so they sat in the fast food restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and asked for a glass of juice with one person.
"What's your name, where is your hometown in the south?" While eating, Li Yan and Jiang Xiaofan chatted, and at this time he remembered to ask what the child's name was, and he could hear that the child's Mandarin was very non-standard, probably from the south.
"My name is Jiang Xiaofan, and my home is from Jiangnan Province. Jiang Xiaofan lowered his head and said.
"Why did you come to the capital, are your parents here?" asked Li Yan.
"Hmm. Jiang Xiaofan hummed, then lowered his head and drank the juice.
"What, is there anything unspeakable?" asked Li Yan again.
"I used to go to school in my hometown and live with my grandmother. Jiang Xiaofan said in a low voice.
Li Yan heard Jiang Xiaofan gradually open the conversation, and did not interrupt him, but quietly waited for him to continue.
"My parents work in the capital, and they don't go home once a year, I've grown so big, I've only seen them three or four times since I can remember, I'm thirteen years old this year, Uncle Li, do you say they're still my parents?" Jiang Xiaofan's voice was much higher, and his eyes were red.
"Don't be excited, maybe your parents are very busy, and they are also trying to make more money for the family, you need money for food, drink, and housing. Li Yan persuaded and smiled bitterly, does he look so old, being called uncle by a teenager is really a little weird, if you know, even now, the five-year-old little girl is still calling herself big brother, there was no problem originally, but since the relationship between herself and Chen Yan changed, she wanted her to change her words several times, but she refused, to be honest, he has been a headache about this matter.
"My grandmother died the year before last, so I came to the capital to be with my parents, but they were so busy that they didn't care about me. Jiang Xiaofan lowered his head and said, but the tears in his eyes flowed down one by one, wetting the yellow coat he was wearing.
"Xiaofan, you are also thirteen years old, you can't completely rely on your parents, you can do a lot of things independently, at the same time, you should also understand your parents, from your words, you can hear that your parents are not easy, very hard, everyone needs to understand each other, you know?" Li Yan patiently persuaded that Jiang Xiaofan's age was in the rebellious period, and he had seen a lot of such children when he was a rural teacher in his previous life, so he knew very well that if the education was not properly or let go freely, it was easy to go astray, and his parents had no time to care about him, this was the reality, Li Yan couldn't change it, so he could only persuade him from another angle.
"Thank you, Uncle Li, I'm not too young, there are many things I understand, but I can't turn this corner in my heart. Jiang Xiaofan raised his head and smiled at Li Yan and said, by this time, he was finally able to say a normal sentence, but the next sentence made his mood heavy again: "It's just that I want to go to school." ”
"Aren't you going to school now?" Li Yan asked, he saw Jiang Xiaofan stealing the teaching aid, and thought that his parents didn't give him money, so he took the steal, but he didn't expect that he didn't go to school, and said that he wanted to go to school.
"I'm not a capital hukou, now the school borrowing fee is too expensive, I can't afford to go to school, uncle, doesn't the book say that the people of the whole country are equal, why because I am a foreigner, my classmates in the school look down on me, and bully me, even the school is discriminatory, if I want to go to school, I must have a capital hukou, if I don't have it, I have to pay a lot of money, isn't it the capital hukou to be inferior?" Jiang Xiaofan raised his head and asked loudly.
"Hehe, Xiaofan, which school did you go to, or let me help you talk about it. This kind of regional discrimination has its historical reasons, although Li Yan has great skills, but he can't change anything, so he can only avoid this question and answer him to the question that Jiang Xiaofan can't go to school.
"Forget it, I don't want to go to that school anymore, uncle, can you talk to Zhengfu and build a special school for those of us who don't have a capital hukou, and it's full of our children who don't have a capital hukou, so no one will discriminate against anyone. Jiang Xiaofan's chatterbox was slowly opened by Li Yan, and he boldly said one of his thoughts.
Jiang Xiaofan's words made Li Yan stunned, but he thought of the kind of school he said, isn't it the primary school of those so-called migrant workers in later generations, he really thought that this child could still have such thoughts.
So what can he do, build a school, match all the hardware facilities, and it doesn't cost much, the idle funds that he now directly controls and does not put into the investment company are enough to build a super-high-standard school, but after the school is completed, where do the teachers come from, how to arrange the management of the school, etc., if these plans are not good, then the school that he spent a lot of money to build can only be like the migrant worker school in later generations, or the migrant worker school, when the construction was vigorous, but in the end it was abandoned because of poor management, or lack of teachers and other reasons, like Jiang Xiaofan, should not have been studied, or not studied.
"Uncle, what are you thinking, am I wrong?" Jiang Xiaofan saw that Li Yan didn't answer his words, and he fell into deep thought, frowning not yet, and suddenly became a little frightened, and asked carefully.
"Hehe, no, Xiaofan, your idea is very good, but it takes a long time to build a school, and when the school is built, I'm afraid you should also go to junior high school, so you should listen to your uncle's persuasion and find a school obediently. Li Yan retracted his thoughts, and said with a smile, he was called uncle by Jiang Xiaofan several times, and he himself felt like an uncle, and the feeling when he was a teacher in his previous life seemed to be back again, and he also spoke with a bit of a teacher's tone.
"But I don't have the money at home, so I can't afford to pay so much for my education. Jiang Xiaofan lowered his head and said.
"Don't worry about this, uncle will help you find a way to ensure that you can go to school, but you also have to be angry, you must get your grades up, otherwise your uncle will be angry, and he won't care about you in the future." Li Yan waved his hand and smiled.
"Well, I listen to my uncle. Jiang Xiaofan lowered his head and said.
"Let's eat the vegetables, we will each ask for a noodle to eat, and then my uncle will send you home and meet your parents by the way." Li Yan smiled.
"My mom and dad came home late. Jiang Xiaofan lowered his head again and said.
"It's okay, uncle comes to your house and waits for them to come back. Li Yan said.
"Well, thank you, uncle. Jiang Xiaofan finally showed the first smile Li Yan had since he saw him.
…………
After the two had dinner, Li Yan led Jiang Xiaofan to the parking lot where he parked, took out his car, let Jiang Xiaofan sit in the co-pilot's seat, and let him drive in the direction of his house.
"Uncle, is this your car?" Jiang Xiaofan sat in the car, looked left and right, and asked enviously.
"yes. Li Yan said.
"This is a Land Rover, I grew up and made money, and I want to buy a car like this to drive, it's really exciting. Jiang Xiaofan said in high spirits, and the young man's heart was unobstructed.
"Okay, then you have to go to school to study hard, learn skills, and only when you grow up can you make money. Li Yan encouraged, and then asked a little strangely: "By the way, Xiaofan, do you know that this car is called Land Rover?"
"Yes, my dad repairs cars, and he often buys a lot of magazines at home, and I have seen this car, and it costs more than a million, uncle, you are really rich. Jiang Xiaofan said.
"Xiaofan will grow up in the future, with skills, what is a million cars, when the time comes, we will buy Porsche, Ferrari, and drive it. Li Yan laughed and joked with Jiang Xiaofan.
Under the guidance of Jiang Xiaofan, in addition to Wangfu Street, the vehicle turned around and entered a very old family home, after Li Yan parked the car, Jiang Xiaofan got out of the car and said happily: "Uncle, my house has arrived." After speaking, he led Li Yanxiang into the basement, took out a bunch of keys from his body and was about to open the door, but he didn't want the door to open from the inside.
"Little bunny, where have you been again, why are you only coming back now? A man walked out of the room, stretched out his hand and twisted Jiang Xiaofan's ear and scolded loudly. ~
