Chapter 67: On the Eve of Marriage (2)
Chen Yi smiled with a smile on his face, handed Zhang Jing's lunch box to her table, and then opened the hot lunch box diligently.
"Auntie, I just went to the cafeteria to help after school, I saw that you didn't come to eat, I knew that you were busy again, didn't I get you food from the cafeteria!"
Zhang Jing wasn't really angry, she was usually very busy, it was difficult to take care of Chenyi, she felt a lot of guilt about him, Chenyi called her mother, but she didn't do the profession of a mother.
And Chen Yi has been obedient and sensible since he was a child, as long as he is free, he will help the hospital work and help the teacher take care of other children, which makes Zhang Jing very pleased.
Zhang Jing looked at the steaming meal, picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat, she asked, "Xiaoyi, have you eaten, eat with me!"
Chen Yi showed the other two meals in his arms and said, "I'm going to send food to my grandfather in a while, he is alone in the communication room, and he shouldn't have eaten yet!"
Zhang Jing nodded, and asked again: "I heard from the dean, you took Wang Gang and them to the back pond to fish and sell them for money?"
Chen Yi secretly screamed in his heart, 'Oops', how can he let his aunt know, but he knows his aunt's temperament and character, and he has not allowed himself to go to the river to play since he was a child, and he strictly controls his pocket money.
But the matter has been known by the aunt, Chen Yi can't hide it anymore, so he can only say: "Ang, little fat boy, they found an old pond in the woods north of the courtyard, and no one took care of it, so we thought about catching some fish, selling it, and earning some money to subsidize the expenses in the courtyard." ”
Zhang Jing was silent and did not speak.
Chen Yi looked at Zhang Jing and didn't speak, thinking that she was angry, and hurriedly said flatteringly: "Auntie, don't be angry, I won't go in the future!"
Zhang Jing sighed, looked at Chen Yi lovingly, and said, "Silly boy, Auntie is not angry, but she feels a little uncomfortable in her heart, you young children know that you are thinking about the hospital." ”
Hearing Zhang Jing say this, Chen Yi put his mind at ease, as long as he didn't stop him.
"Auntie, don't feel uncomfortable, these are all done by our own volition, and the weather is getting colder, and no matter how cold it is, we can't go into the water, so we plan to take advantage of this time, we will go a few more times and earn a little more, but don't worry, we will definitely not delay our studies!" Chen Yi said with a swear.
Looking at Chen Yi's appearance, Zhang Jing said with a smile: "As far as your head turns fast, you think more than others, but you children who participate in fishing also keep some of the money from selling fish, and spend it for yourself, and you don't have to give it all to the courtyard." ”
Chen Yi shook his head and said: "Auntie, it's not a matter of money or not, the main thing is that we all want to do something for the hospital, you used to take care of us when we were young, and now that we have grown up, we should share a little responsibility for you, this money starts from below, we only need to sell the fish once, I will hand it over to you, and you will distribute it." ”
Zhang Jing touched Chenyi's head with relief and muttered, "My Xiaoyi has grown up." I know how to share the responsibility for the hospital!"
Chen Yi also enjoyed Zhang Jing rubbing his head gently, his face full of happiness.
After chatting with Zhang Jing for a while, Chen Yi took the other two boxes of lunches to the communication room to find the old dean.
"Grandpa, I'm bringing you food!" Chen Yi shouted as he opened the door of the communication room.
The old dean used to live in the dormitory, and later many abandoned babies in the courtyard were found at the gate, so the old dean built a small communication room directly at the gate, divided into two rooms, the inside made a bed as a dormitory, and the outside room was used as a communication room when there was usually nothing to do.
As soon as Chen Yi entered, he saw the old dean licking the charcoal of the stove.
"Grandpa, I added a few small stir-fry in the yard today, I brought you some, you can taste it. Chen Yi said.
The old dean put down the tongs in his hand, took the lunch box in Chen Yi's hand, and asked, "Have you gone to see the layout in your mother's room?"
Chen Yi thought about it for a moment, as if there was some new furniture licked in the room.
"Well, look, it doesn't seem to have anything to arrange, it's just that new furniture has been added, and nothing else seems to be there. ”
The old dean opened the lunch box and handed it to Chen Yi and said, "After a while, you take a few friends to your Aunt Li to buy some balloons, red paper or something, and decorate your mother's room, it must be lively and festive." ”
Chen Yi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go after eating!"
"That's right, grandpa, we're going to get fish tomorrow morning, and we can let the big guys eat fresh fish at noon tomorrow!" Chen Yi suddenly thought of the plan that Wang Gang told him in the afternoon.
"Hmm, are you going again tomorrow?" asked the old dean.
Chen Yi nodded: "Well, anyway, tomorrow will not delay things, we will sprinkle a net, it won't be delayed for long, go early, and come back at eight or nine o'clock!"
"Okay, pay more attention to safety when you go, bring a thick dress when you go, the weather is cold, so come back after the water and change thick clothes, otherwise this weather is easy to catch a cold." The old dean said with concern.
"Well, I know grandpa!"
……
After eating, Chen Yi took Wang Bowen to Aunt Li's commissary.
As soon as I entered, I saw Aunt Li eating.
"Aunt Li!" Chen Yi greeted them.
"Yo, Xiaoyi, you're here, have you eaten, let's eat with your aunt!" Aunt Li greeted warmly.
Chen Yi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, Aunt Li, we have all eaten, we are just here to buy something." ”
Aunt Li didn't say politely when she heard this: "Okay, that aunt will eat first, eat whatever you want, don't be polite to your aunt!"
"Hey, good aunt!"
Chen Yi and the others took a large bag of balloons, a few packs of latte art, and a few cut Xi characters.
Chen Yi took these things to the counter, and Aunt Li didn't look at what Chen Yi was taking, so she said, "Don't want money, take it!"
"How can you, Aunt Li, you are like this, we don't dare to come to you to buy things in the future, let's go one yard to one yard, you have to ask for this money, otherwise if you go back, grandpa will have to scold us again!" Chen Yi said disagreeing.
Aunt Li didn't want to embarrass Chen Yi, so she roughly calculated: "Three yuan!"
Chen Yi's face was full of disbelief: "Auntie, how can it be three yuan for so many things!"
Aunt Li smiled and said: "The cost price is so much, don't bargain with me, just three yuan, and don't charge any more." ”
"Okay!"
Aunt Li's attitude was so resolute, Chen Yi didn't say much, and took out three yuan and gave it to Aunt Li.
Chen Yi and the others were about to leave with their things, and Aunt Li hurriedly asked, "Hey, Xiaoyi, you buy so many balloons, pull flowers or something, is it who is married in the courtyard?"
Chen Yi responded with a smile: "Well, it's my little mother who gets married tomorrow, and tomorrow at noon, you must go!"
Aunt Li said in surprise: "Ah, Yu Yan's girl is married, then I have to go." ”
"Well, let's leave Aunt Li, there's still something going on in the courtyard!"
"Well, okay, it's dark, slow down on the road!"
"Got it, aunt!"
"Aunt Li, goodbye!" Wang Bowen also greeted politely.
"Well, goodbye, little fat man. ”
Wang Bowen......
Chen Yi and the others took their things and prepared to go straight to Wang Yuyan's dormitory, and when they walked into the courtyard, they saw that the stage had been set up, and the stage was lit with four bamboo poles carrying light bulbs.
Immediately after that, with a few 'chirps', the firelight rose into the sky, startling Chen Yi and Wang Bowen, and before they came to their senses, a deafening sound sounded in the sky again, 'Bang'!
The dazzling colorful firelight exploded, it turned out to be fireworks, and Chen Yi watched them rise into the air one after another, exploding sparks of various colors, feasting their eyes.
Many children in the courtyard are also lying on the windows of classrooms and dormitories, watching the beautiful fireworks and constantly shouting of children.
"Wow!
"It's the first time I've seen fireworks!"
"It's so beautiful, the fireworks are so big!"
……
After more than a dozen explosions, the performance stage was lively, the teachers in the courtyard, with the children carrying small benches, sat neatly and orderly, the small children sat in the front, the older children sat in the back, and several teachers stood around the crowd, waiting for tonight's performance.
Chen Yi and they walked behind this group of children, and many children waved at Chen Yi and them.
"Brother Xiaoyi is good, Brother Chubby is good!"
"Brother Xiaoyi, brother Xiaofat, come and see the show!"
……
Chen Yi also responded with a smile: "Look first, I'll be here in a while!"
After saying hello, Chen Yi and the others carried their things and came to Wang Yuyan's dormitory.
The door was not closed, and Chen Yi and the others still knocked politely.
"Please come in!" Wang Yuyan's voice came from inside the room.
"Mom, we're here to decorate your new house!" shouted Chenyi as he entered.
Wang Yuyan came out of the back room and saw Chen Yi carrying a big bag of balloons or something.
"This kid, what are you buying these things for, spending money indiscriminately!" Wang Yuyan complained.
Chen Yi smiled and said, "Mom, you can't blame me, grandpa asked us to buy it, saying that it would add some atmosphere." ”
Saying that, Chen Yi said to Wang Bowen again: "Little fatty, you go and call a few more girls, call Gangzi and them too, let's arrange them together!"
"Okay!" Wang Bowen agreed.
After Wang Bowen left, Chen Yi put the things on the ground. Then he pretended to be mysterious and said, "Mom, you close your eyes, I have something for you." ”
Wang Yuyan smiled and said, "Then give it to me directly, why do you want me to close my eyes?"
"No, you have to close your eyes, I'm going to surprise you!"
Wang Yuyan looked at the smile on Chen Yi's face, she pursed her lips and slowly closed her eyes in compromise.
After Chen Yi saw Wang Yuyan close his eyes, he took out a jewelry box from his pocket, this jewelry box was the last time Chen Yi bought, he carefully opened the jewelry box and took out the pendant inside.
Chen Yi walked behind Wang Yuyan, and he gently took it for her.
Wang Yuyan closed her eyes, curious in her heart, what Chen Yi had prepared for her.
When she felt movement in her neck, she opened her eyes and looked down to see that it was a delicate jade pendant.
Wang Yuyan took the jade pendant, turned around and asked, "Xiaoyi, where did you get the jade pendant?"
