Chapter 62: Grandpa the Headmaster
"Go in, what else do you want?!"
was pushed by Song Lifei and went in.
Because after knocking on the door, the door opened, but Rong Yao only saw a back and walked into the kitchen.
I smelled the aroma, and I also saw a few plates of dishes with all colors and aromas already on the table.
It's like a movie special effect, not an exaggeration.
When Rong Yao walked to the living room, it was as if he had walked into a strange and familiar scene.
It is unfamiliar first, then familiar, and the order cannot be wrong.
As he stepped into the living room, many images began to surround him with his memories.
"Grandpa Principal~Grandpa Principal, Ride a Big Horse~"
"The waist is not good, how to ride~"
"I'm going to ride a big horse~I'm going to ride a big horse~"
"Okay, can you ride your neck?!"
"OK~"
"Grandpa Principal~The strings are broken~"
"I told you not to play so hard...... Go piano practice!"
"Grandpa the principal, you practice with me~"
"I want to fix the guitar~"
"You practice with me~You practice with me~"
"Hehe, good~"
The corners of Rong Yao's eyes were uncontrollable, and tears flashed. I sniff in, and the picture seems to turn again.
"Why haven't you practiced piano or guitar lately?"
“……”
"I don't like to talk, I'm busy at school, and I haven't talked to you. What's the matter?"
"Nothing. ”
"What have you been doing lately? Look at you're always running out. ”
"Part-time job. ”
"What?!"
"I'm going to work to earn money and move out. ”
"......" "You say it again?!"
"I'm going to move out and rent a house and live on my own. ”
"Hmph!!Don't think I really don't know anything!You are getting more and more unsociable at school, and you still dislike your orphanhood, don't you?!"
"......" "Yes!"
Rong Yao's tears had already flowed down his cheeks and fell to his mouth, salty.
"What do you say you're doing?!"
"I'm going to take a leave of absence!
"......" "You are a child of the Children's Village, and there are grants and scholarships for the University of the Children's Village!
"I want to pay my own tuition!"
"......" "Okay, I can prepare!"
"I don't need your money!You're the principal!! you're the principal of the Children's Village!!"
"Huh. What's wrong with it now?!No bursaries, no scholarships, no my money?!"
"I just want to pay my own tuition! I will earn it by working on my own!"
"You ......"
“……”
"What can you do? You're only 16 years old, you just have an ID card, what can you do when you go out?"
"I can tutor people. ”
"So you're a child. Do you know that cram schools need to be licensed, and cram teachers need to be qualified?"
"I can go and teach piano and guitar. I also speak good English and can be a translator. ”
"How long has it been since you practiced? Besides, these are all things I taught you, all of them were taught to you by school. You want to cut off your orphan status and your relationship with the children's village, don't you still want to use all this you have learned?!"
“……”
“……”
“…………”
"I don't have to?!! I don't have to !! what you teach."
————
"Bang!"
A knock on the door woke Rong Yao up. When I looked back, I realized that it was actually the sound of Song Lifei closing the door. It turned out that it was really only a split second after he came in, and all the memories recovered were the time when he entered the door and walked into the living room, and that's it.
But already in tears.
"You ......"
Song Lifei saw it, and Rong Yao turned his back and wiped his face for the first time.
But at this moment, there was a figure in the kitchen who was serving food, looking to be in his sixties and less than seventy years old, but his hair was neatly combed. has a very temperamental and special spirit, not at all like an old man of this age, just a handsome uncle.
Sean Connery?!Rong Yao could only think of such an image.
Of course, it's definitely Asian faces.
Principal of SOS Children's Villages School, Li Zhengxing.
"Go get the soup out. ”
When Rong Yao opened his mouth to say something, a thousand words were clogged in his throat.
However, Principal Li just casually instructed his grandson to come back from school. It's not like the mood of not seeing or even answering the phone for two years.
Rong Yao paused, silently put down the suitcase, took off his coat and went to the kitchen.
Here is a soup to find a rag, and you can still hear the conversation between Song Lifei and Principal Li from the outside.
"Thank you, Xiaofei, pick him up. ”
"Thank you, I'm just so young, and all my classmates in high school are naïve. Can't be friends. ”
Rong Yao almost spilled the soup when he heard this.
Looking at Song Lifei, who was already holding a bowl and chopsticks to serve rice, he walked out of the kitchen and put down the soup: "Why don't you eat something here?"
Song Lifei looked at the rice in his hand in a daze, then at Rong Yao, and then at the rice in his hand......
"No manners!"
Principal Li frowned and looked at Rong Yao, and motioned to Song Lifei: "Eat! You see so many dishes, how can two people finish eating? ”
Song Lifei laughed, and winked at Rong Yao with a smug expression.
Rong Yao ignored it, sat down to serve the soup, and then put it in front of Principal Li.
Principal Li was stunned, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes: "We haven't eaten together for a long time." In the past, I did it, and you ate it. ”
Rong Yao nodded: "It's the same today." ”
Principal Li didn't say much, but greeted Song Lifei warmly: "Eat more." By the way, your sister is also back, right? Listen to your sister, she is wandering outside, and she has bought a house for your parents at home, and she has knowledge and ability. It's hard for a girl to work outside and you don't have a degree, and you're the only boy in the family......"
"Oh, Headmaster!"
Song Lifei interrupted helplessly: "Why are you the same as my sister and my mother! ”
Principal Li smiled: "Okay, don't talk about it, okay?"
Then he looked at Rong Yao, who was eating with his head down, and sandwiched a piece of braised pork for him: "Taste it, I've been bored for a few hours." ”
Rong Yao took a bite, he didn't eat fatty meat. Even if you force the regurgitation of your stomach, swallow it.
But when the attentive Principal Li saw it, he wondered: "What's wrong? Isn't it delicious?"
"It's not!"
Rong Yao hurriedly spoke: "That's it...... It's a little hard to get used to. ”
Song Lifei subconsciously stopped, and Principal Li also looked at him with a light sigh.
Rong Yao was stunned, and then smiled: "It's not that exaggerated, it's not that I can't afford to eat meat." I am...... Don't eat fatty meat. ”
Principal Li was surprised: "But you ...... I didn't pick it before. ”
Song Lifei sneered: "I thought you had become less pretending, but now you are more particular? ”
“……”
Rong Yao squinted at him, and said half-loudly: "After you finish eating, go back first." ”
"Huh~"
Song Lifei didn't care about these, he ate more deliciously. It's just that after the meal, no one said anything more. Just the occasional small talk. After all, Song Lifei didn't like to listen to what Principal Li said, and with Song Lifei here, it was inconvenient for Rong Yao and Principal Li to talk.
Fortunately, Song Lifei was not so blind, and got up and left after eating.
"Go and see him off. ”
Principal Li motioned to Rong Yao, Rong Yao followed, Song Lifei politely said that there was no need to send it, but Rong Yao still went out.
"I'll look for you tomorrow. ”
Rong Yao motioned to Song Lifei: "I have something to say to the principal today." ”
Song Lifei nodded: "I know." I'm afraid that the principal won't let me go, otherwise you think I really don't need your meal?"
Rong Yao was stunned and looked at Song Lifei, and Song Lifei waved his hand and went down.
Rong Yao paused, and when he turned around and opened the door and entered the house.
Principal Li is cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.
"Are you gone?"
Principal Li glanced at him and asked casually.
Rong Yao stood there and suddenly bowed.
"What is this for?"
Principal Li was stunned, and Rong Yao spoke: "Principal." I used to be ignorant, but today I'm back. I will work hard for the college entrance examination, what school or major to apply for, as long as it is in the province, you decide. Even if you go to Qida Gmainar College, I apply for free tuition for students with difficulties in the green channel of bursary. Earn money after graduation. ”
Principal Li looked at Rong Yao and just looked at it. After a long time, he chuckled and nodded: "Let's not talk about this first, you have a good rest......"
"No need. ”
Rong Yao went over and put down all the plates and bowls in Principal Li's hand, pulled him to the sofa to sit and turn on the TV. I went to get the tea again: "I'll clean it up." ”
Principal Li watched Rong Yao start to get busy, but he didn't say much. Just drinking tea and smiling and watching TV.
Cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, Rong Yao at this moment, the memories overlap, and then merge.
The order is still not wrong, first overlapping, then merging.
It doesn't matter if it's the predecessor or the Rong Yao of this life. The predecessor was eighteen years old, and the present life is eighteen years old. In the previous life, he was an orphan, and in this life he is an orphan. In his previous life, he was called Rong Yao, and in this life, he is still Rong Yao.
Perhaps the only difference is that the once ordinary face has become a little handsome now.
That's all.
There is no moment that makes him feel that it doesn't matter if he is handsome or not. The important thing is that he is not an otaku in this life. His world, his life, his experiences, are much bigger.
And in the future, it will continue to spread. Until the end of life, there are no regrets.
He is himself, those memories, those feelings, those emotions, they are real. Integrate into every cell in the blood in the bones.
He always thinks that one truth may be that in ancient times, people always believed that the organ of thinking was the heart, so there was a theory of the mind and the mind. Modern proof that the organ of thinking is the brain, but Rong Yao feels that the brain is responsible for thinking.
Emotions are in the heart.
He didn't know how the predecessor could be twisted to such an extent of extreme hypocrisy. There are relatives who can ignore it, alienate or even rebel, just for that little inferiority complex and self-esteem and sway themselves.
He firmly believed that he would not do this, because the saddest thing in the world is to have a son who wants to be raised and not to be treated, and fortunately, he has the opportunity to correct it.
He didn't dare to guarantee that he would be more mature, after all, everything he had experienced in Hi Ning, including interactions and misunderstandings, he was not very mature. It even seems to overlap with some of the extreme temperaments of its predecessor.
But at least in this aspect, he can guarantee the treatment of the elderly.
"Headmaster, eat the fruit. ”
After Rong Yao washed the dishes, he wiped his hands and peeled the fruit, put it on the plate and brought it out.
Principal Li nodded, stuck an apple with a toothpick, and gave it to Rong Yao first.
Rong Yao didn't care about it and took a bite.
Principal Li also took a bite and watched the TV: "The lawsuit for infringement of the right to the name...... Solved it, right?"
Smack.
The apple in Rong Yao's hand fell to the ground. Silence was half loud, Rong Yao picked it up, and the calm was still in the trash can.
It's just that he didn't look at the principal, but the principal had already muted the TV and looked at Rong Yao.
He didn't urge, but he didn't look away.
He waited for him to tell, and he looked forward to it, and he should have been able to speak.
