"Grandpa, are you there?" shouted Tatsumi knocking on the door of the communication room.

"Xiaoyi, come in!" the old dean's voice came from inside the room.

Chen Yi opened the door and found that the old dean was not in the outhouse, so he took out the lunch box in his arms and put it on the table.

"Grandpa, I've brought you food, come out and eat!"

As he spoke, there was a coughing sound in the back room.

"cough~cough~cough!"

Chen Yi knew that the old dean was getting older and his health was getting worse and worse, and as soon as it was cold, the old dean was coughing.

Chen Yi was worried about the old dean's health, and was about to push open the door of the inner room, but it happened that the old dean opened the door and came out.

"Grandpa, I heard you cough again?" Chen Yi stepped forward to support the old dean and asked with concern.

The old dean said flatly: "It's all old problems, it's not in the way!"

After saying that, the old dean began to cough again.

"Ahem~ahem!"

Chen Yi hurriedly patted the old dean's back gently with his hand.

"Grandpa, it's not a solution for you to cough all the time, I'll take you to the hospital to have a look!" Chen Yi was really worried about the old dean's body.

The old dean hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm just a little cold, my throat is a little uncomfortable, I don't need to go to the hospital, just wait for the winter to pass!"

Chen Yi knew that once the old dean decided something, no one could persuade him, so he helped the old dean to sit on the chair, and then Chen Yi opened the lunch box, and the food inside was still steaming.

Chen Yi brought the lunch box to the table in front of the old dean, and the old dean picked up the chopsticks and asked Chen Yi, "Xiaoyi, have you eaten?"

Chen Yi hurriedly said: "I've eaten it, grandpa, eat it quickly!"

"Hmm!"

Chen Yi sat next to the old dean, he found that the old dean's hand was shaking slightly when he was picking up vegetables, and then he looked at the old dean seriously, during this time he felt that the old dean had lost a lot of weight, the wrinkles on his face were more and more, his hair was all white, and his back was more curved.

Chen Yi's eyes turned red instantly, and his nose was sour.

It took Chen Yi a long time to calm down his mood, looking at the old dean's eating Zhengxiang, he remembered the business and said, "Grandpa, there is something I want to discuss with you." ”

"What's the matter?"

Chen Yi paused and said: "Well, I went to Aunt Li's today, I see that she is strange and pitiful, it just so happens that I have nothing to do next holiday, I want to help Aunt Li when I am okay during the day, can you see it?"

When the old dean heard this, he thoughtfully put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, sighed tastefully and said: "Alas, your Aunt Li is a hard-working person, she was abducted and trafficked here, and she has no relatives and no reason, it is right for you to help her, and grandpa has no reason to stop you." ”

The old dean agreed, and Chen Yi was very happy: "Really grandpa, great!"

The old dean looked at Chen Yi seriously, and said solemnly: "You go and help your Aunt Li, I don't have any opinions, but you have to promise me a few things!"

Chen Yi said without thinking: "You said grandpa!"

The old dean stood up, walked to the stove, and while adding new firewood to the stove, he said: "First: when you go to someone's place, you must listen to them, whether you are going to help or work, you must lower your attitude in everything.

Second: Never stitch others for no reason, take care of your words and deeds, and don't bring trouble to others.

Third: Be a person and do everything from beginning to end, don't be unwilling to do it after two or three days, if you want to do it, you have to do it well, or don't do it!

Xiaoyi, can you agree to these three points?"

Chen Yi found it and said confidently: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely do what you ask me to do, and I will definitely not cause trouble to Aunt Li." ”

The old dean nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Child, you always have to leave here in the future, there is nothing wrong with going out to contact this world now, besides, your Aunt Li's place is a place to exercise people, don't underestimate that commissary, there are many people in it every day, and there are more people in contact, which can not only exercise your mouth, but also exercise your social skills."

Now in this society, you can't just work hard, you have to have a certain social ability, this talking, is also a great knowledge, you say it well, you can say people's hearts, you say it badly, even if it is unintentional, people will be unhappy, especially those who do business, relying on a mouth.

When you buy goods, you can grind down the price with a mouth, and when you sell goods, you can also sell the goods with your mouth, and when you can learn the skill of speaking, you can also learn from your Aunt Li!"

Chen Yi stood there and listened carefully to the old dean's teachings to him, he silently remembered everything the old dean said to him, and carefully pondered every word that the old dean said.

The old dean looked at Chen Yi thinking seriously, he was very pleased, he had always regarded Chen Yi as his own grandson, and he had always been.

"By the way, Xiaoyi, how did you do in this exam?" said the old dean sitting by the fire, lazily roasting the fire.

Chen Yi replied with a smile: "Grandpa, this time I took the fifteenth place in the whole grade!"

"Well, yes, but you have to remember that this is not the cost of your pride in the future, this achievement is just an affirmation of your previous hard work, or you must not be arrogant or impatient, step by step, don't be careless!" the old dean sounded the alarm bell to Chen Yi and said.

Chen Yi knew what the old dean meant, and he said steadily: "Got it, grandpa, don't worry!"

……

The old dean has been in poor health recently, in order not to disturb the old dean's rest, Chen Yi chatted with the old dean for a while and went back, and went to bed early.

The next day, Chen Yi got up early in the morning, and after getting dressed, Chen Yi went to Aunt Li's commissary.

When he first arrived at the commissary, Chen Yi saw that the door of the commissary was closed, and Chen Yi looked at the sky It shouldn't be too early, did he oversleep?

Chen Yi didn't dare to disturb, just sat on the stone pier at the entrance of the commissary, and crossed his hands into his cuffs to keep warm.

I've been waiting for half an hour, there is still no movement in the house, Chen Yi has no watch, and he doesn't know the specific time, he looked up at the slowly rising sun, it is estimated that the height of the sun must be about eight o'clock!

Chen Yi felt that something was wrong, so he walked to the commissary and knocked on the door hard, knocking a few times and still no sound inside.

Chen Yi shouted a few more words loudly: "Aunt Li, are you there? I'm Xiaoyi!"

After shouting, there was still no movement inside, Chen Yi suddenly remembered what Aunt Li said yesterday, it is possible to go to the city to buy goods, Chen Yi patted his thigh, and hurriedly went to the only way to the city, which is also the road that Chen Yi often takes to school.

Chen Yi greeted the sun, walking on the road, the thick poplars on both sides of the road, after an autumn devastation, there was only a bare trunk left, only the wheat field next to it, at this time, the wheat has just sprouted, a piece of green, endless, it is eye-catching!

Chen Yi hurriedly walked forward, at this time there were also a lot of people riding bicycles, to the street in front of the market, Chen Yi counted the next day, today is the day of the market, this time is also the most lively time in the set.

What is called a fair, that is, on a section of the road in the rural township, there will be a market every few days, and many businessmen come to the market early to pick a better position on the roadside to put what they want to sell.

And this day is also the most complete day for selling things in the market town, selling everything, eating, drinking, using, etc., everything is available.

Now it's winter, the weather is cold, and people don't have refrigerators at that time, but the temperature in winter is low, and many dishes can be stored for a few more days, so some people will stock up on more vegetables at home in winter, not to mention that the rally is not every day, and it will be enough to eat until the next rally if you buy it once.

When Chen Yi was young, he still vaguely remembered that the old dean had come to a meeting with him, but at that time he was still young, and he only remembered that there were many people rushing to the assembly, and the crowds were crowded, and they couldn't be crowded.

In the past, when there was nothing to do during the holidays, a few friends in their yard would sneak out to play in the market, but after they went back, they would be hanged and beaten, because there were a lot of traffickers at that time, especially when rushing to the market, there were too many people, with children, one was not careful, and the children might be taken away by traffickers, and this kind of thing had become common at that time, so the first order of the orphanage was that the children in the courtyard were not allowed to go out without the permission of the hospital.

At that time, the public security system was not very developed, there was no camera, no network, once the child was lost, he couldn't find it, so he could only accept his fate!

After walking for several kilometers, Chen Yi finally saw a weak figure in front of him, struggling to pull a board car, which was full of things, and Chen Yi recognized this person as Aunt Li at a glance.

Chen Yi ran all the way over.

Maybe the weight of the board car is too heavy, Aunt Li is lowering her head, sweating hard to pull the board car, suddenly, Aunt Li suddenly felt that the board car became brisk, because she had to control the direction of the board car, thinking that it was a downhill road, she didn't care.

Along the way, Aunt Li hurried and hurried, tired and sweaty, both legs were a little disobedient, and finally when she arrived at the entrance of the commissary, Aunt Li put down the cart and gasped.

When she turned around, she saw Chen Yi also sweating profusely holding the goods on the cart panting.

Aunt Li suddenly realized, what is the downhill road, it turns out that Chen Yi has been helping to push it in the back!

Aunt Li looked at Chen Yi with some distress, Chen Yi happened to look at Aunt Li as well, and Chen Yi smiled.

"You kid, why don't you keep pushing the cart behind and don't say a word to me!"

Aunt Li shouted, Chen Yi still smiled and didn't speak, Aunt Li walked to Chen Yi's side with some distress, took off the towel around her neck, and wiped the sweat on Chen Yi's head.

"Aunt Li, I'll come by myself!" As he spoke, Chen Yi took the towel from Aunt Li's hand and wiped it on his head casually.
