Chapter Twenty-Five: The Tradition of the Orphanage
"Brother Qiang, if you can, I hope you can take your grandfather over and live a good life, at least you can spend your old age in peace. ”
After Chen Yi finished speaking, Chen Qiang sighed and said: "Why don't I want to, I secretly told my grandfather in the afternoon, but my grandfather vetoed it, and he was very angry, I know that he can't let go of this yard, he can't let go of the people here, if you can, Xiaoyi, I hope you can persuade grandpa more, let him come to live with me, I can see that grandpa cares about you more than others, he really treats you as his own grandson." ”
Chen Yi lowered his head and said nothing, why didn't he treat the old dean as his own grandfather, but he didn't have the ability to do anything for his grandfather and this courtyard.
"Brother Qiang, don't worry, if you can, I will communicate with my grandfather more. Chen Yi looked at Chen Qiang and said resolutely.
Chen Qiang smiled with relief: "If it's really possible, then I still owe you a favor!"
Chen Yi smiled bitterly, he knew that according to the old dean's temperament and character, this task was almost impossible to accomplish.
"Xiaoyi, what is the biggest difficulty in the courtyard now?" asked Chen Qiang.
Chen Yi thought for a while and said: "In fact, grandpa has run a lot of government relations in order to give the children in the yard a school over the years, and he has wasted a lot of effort to let the government open a green channel for us in public schools, but the children in the yard are increasing every year, and the expenses are gradually increasing.
Sometimes the support money can not be sent down on time, so the grandfather and the teachers in the hospital often go out to do odd jobs to maintain the expenses of the hospital, but now the biggest difficulty is to go to school, before the university is fine, no need to take money in the hospital, but when it comes to the college entrance examination, the college will have four or five brothers admitted to the university every year, but the cost of the university is too high, the college can not afford it, only those brothers who have free tuition can go to college, the rest of the brothers because they have reached the age of eighteen, can only step into the society in advance to work, grandpa will worry about this matter every year, after all, according to the national law of eighteen years old has become an adultIf Grandpa keeps them, it will only cause more expenses in the hospital. ”
Chen Qiang listened, nodded thoughtfully, and then said firmly: "Xiaoyi, don't worry, as long as you can be admitted to the university, whether it is free of tuition or just past the score line, as long as you can be admitted, I am willing to provide for you to go to school, and those who have not been admitted to the university, I am also willing to find a serious job for them." ”
Chen Yi listened to it and said in surprise: "Brother Qiang, is what you said true?"
Chen Qiang smiled and said: "Of course, to be honest, I have been away from here for so long, I have not paid anything for the hospital, I have always felt guilty in my heart, since there are difficulties in the hospital, and I have this ability, of course I am willing to contribute, it should be my little reward for the hospital." ”
Chen Yi excitedly shook Chen Qiang's hand and said, "If Brother Qiang really says what you say, I want to thank you on behalf of the court!"
Chen Qiang patted Chen Yi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "What is not thankful, don't forget that I am also a member of the hospital." ”
"Let's go, take me somewhere else, to be honest, I really miss us back then. Chen Qiang sighed.
"Hmm. ”
Chen Qiang walked in the yard, watching the children in the yard frolicking and playing together, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, always feeling that he owed something here.
"Brother Qiang, did you have as many children back then as you do now?" Chen Yi asked curiously.
Chen Qiang thought for a while and said: "We didn't have so many at that time, and the total number of friends in the yard was only twenty people, at that time we were very united, when the children in the courtyard were bullied by other children, we would all go together to take revenge, and at that time, grandpa often apologized to the neighbors for us." ”
"Haha, Brother Qiang, did you also fight at that time?"
Chen Qiang asked with some confusion: "Why, are you also fighting in groups like us?"
Chen Yi laughed and said: "Of course, we are often ostracized by other people when we are in school, and sometimes when honest children are bullied, the boys in the courtyard will unite and teach those bad children a hard lesson." ”
Chen Qiang also laughed when he heard this.
"It seems that this has become a tradition in our hospital. ”
"Hahahaha......"
This is an unforgettable day, Chen Qiang left in the afternoon, and he was very reluctant to leave, he promised the old dean that he would often go home to see in the future.
This time, Chen Qiang's episode made Chen Yi more firmly convinced, no matter what happens in the future, he must come back often to see it, because there is his family here.
A weekend is going to pass quickly, and when it is time to return to school, the friends in the courtyard set off towards the school in groups.
Since Chen Qiang left, Chen Yi returned to the dormitory, Wang Bowen has been around Chen Yi, asking about Chen Qiang, but Chen Yi just didn't tell him, and kept hanging his appetite, which made Wang Bowen's curiosity more and more serious.
Even this time, on the way back to school, Wang Bowen did not let go.
"Brother Xiaoyi, you said that the rich man who came yesterday, how rich is he, I think he has an extraordinary temperament, he must have opened a big company, right?" Wang Bowen asked stubbornly.
Chen Yi glanced at him angrily and said, "I don't know, how much money people have, it has nothing to do with us." ”
"Aren't I curious, didn't you stay with your grandfather and them yesterday, just tell me. Wang Bowen refused to give up and continued to ask.
In desperation, Chen Yi said: "Actually, Brother Qiang came yesterday, and he and his grandfather only talked about the past, and I just listened to it there as a story, and I really don't know anything else." ”
"That, the one called Brother Qiang, so rich, didn't he say anything about what he would donate to the hospital in the future, you see, the children in the courtyard are so bitter, we are okay, no matter how bitter we are, we can't bitter the children, some children can't keep up with nutrition, you see they are thin one by one, I can't stand it. ”
After speaking, Wang Bowen pretended to be pitiful.
Chen Yi looked up and down Wang Bowen's round figure and quipped: "If you can eat less, you can save a lot of food in the courtyard every month, you look at your fat body, I don't know, I think our yard is a pig farm!"
Wang Bowen defended: "My figure is naturally good, I just drink cold water every day to grow meat." ”
"Okay, my pig brother, you can continue to grow meat, hurry up, it's not too early, you have to review when you go back to school! If your grades can't be improved in the next exam, don't blame me for not tutoring you in the future." Chen Yi threatened.
Wang Bowen ate this, and hurriedly begged bitterly: "Don't Brother Xiaoyi, can't I say it!"
Seeing Wang Bowen's deflated appearance, Chen Yi smiled, and then the two of them quickened their pace and set off towards the school.
The next morning, Chen Yi came to the classroom as usual, and as he walked down the road, he was very flustered, not knowing if he would still greet her as usual, or never speak.
Unconsciously, Chen Yi had arrived at the door of the classroom, and he was hesitating whether to enter or not, because he was already at the door, and saw a familiar position and a familiar back.
Hey, forget it, you definitely can't hide from it, what are you afraid of, and it's not that you have done something wrong.
Chen Yi's inner monologue was like this, and then he gritted his teeth, walked into the classroom, and did his position, deliberately restrained himself from looking to the side, and took out his book from the drawer that he should review today.
"Hi, good morning, Chenyi!"
A sweet voice came from the side.
Chen Yi was like an electric shock, and after hearing the voice, his heart trembled slightly, and then he was stunned there, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
"What's wrong Chenyi, are you not feeling well?"
Sophie next to her, looking at Chen Yi's strange behavior, thought he was not feeling well, and asked with concern.
Chen Yi listened, hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no." ”
During the whole process, Chen Yi didn't dare to look at Sophie, and after finishing speaking, he hurriedly took out the book and began to review.
Sophie looked at Chen Yi with some puzzlement, she really didn't understand, Chen Yi's strange behavior.
At the end of this day, Chen Yi didn't dare to say a word to Sophie, and he didn't even dare to look at it.
After dinner in the evening, Chen Yi went back to the classroom to study, as soon as he arrived at the classroom, he saw Wang Bowen, Sophie and Huang Xinran chatting together, Chen Yi walked to his place hard, picked up the book and began to study.
This move made Wang Bowen's second monk puzzled: No, there is a situation, why didn't Brother Xiao Yi chat with us, I remember that I didn't mess with Brother Xiaoyi, and it is impossible to mess with Brother Xiao Yi if I stay with me all day long, could it be that Brother Xiao Yi confessed to Sophie, and then was rejected by Sophie? No, I definitely match Brother Xiaoyi's match.
"Hey, Brother Yi. Wang Bowen patted Chen Yi on the shoulder from behind and shouted.
Chen Yi turned to look at Wang Bowen from the right and asked, "What's wrong, Chubby?"
(Because Sophie is sitting on his left, he turns from the right)
Wang Bowen seemed to sense the trace of embarrassment in the air, touched his head and said: "What, isn't Xinran eating with Fei'er, but they are girls, and they will have to wait in a long line to eat in the cafeteria, so we discussed it, and in the future, the two of us will be responsible for cooking, and their girls will be responsible for washing the dishes, do you see if it's okay." ”
Chen Yi listened to it and thought about it, if he did this in the future, wouldn't he even have to face Sophie Er when he ate, but if he refused, it didn't seem to be good.
Chen Yi could feel the three pairs of eyes around him staring at him at this time, Chen Yi coughed lightly and said, "Otherwise, in the future, the three of you will eat together, and I will eat it alone!"
As soon as Chen Yi said this, it didn't matter, Wang Bowen hurriedly came up and touched Chen Yi's forehead, and asked with concern: "Brother Xiaoyi, don't you have a fever?"
Chen Yi slapped Wang Bowen's chubby little hand, and just as he wanted to speak, he saw Huang Xinran's eyes flushed, and he looked at him pitifully and said, "Chen Yi, do you dislike us?"
Suddenly, Chen Yi didn't know how to answer, looked at Huang Xinran's innocent little eyes, and explained: "No, no, no, uh, it's actually because, because." ”
To be honest, even Chen Yi himself didn't know how to explain it, originally there were two girls to accompany him at dinner, it was simply a great pleasure in life, but this incident made him cruelly refused, and now he can't think of any reason.
