Chapter 24: Chen Qiang

Chen Yi asked with a puzzled face: "What's the matter, Brother Gang, I overslept, what is my mother looking for me?"

Wang Gang said with a smile on his face: "You don't know, there is going to be a big man in the courtyard today, I heard that it was the old dean's grandfather who first took in the child, and then he went out to work hard when he turned eighteen years old, and now I heard that he has made a lot of money, and today he wants to go back to the courtyard to visit his grandfather, no, early in the morning, the old dean and a few teachers and mothers are waiting outside, and the little friends in the courtyard are also curious to run outside to join in the fun, Yu Yan's mother asked me to tell you, if it's okay, let you go and see." ”

Only then did Chen Yi understand.

"I said I saw so many people outside when I got up, so that's what happened, let's go, let's go and have a look!"

"Well, let's go. ”

Chen Yi and Wang Gang walked out of the dormitory and blended into the crowd, and the sharp-eyed Wang Bowen saw Chen Yi at a glance, and waved at Chen Yi and shouted, "Brother Xiaoyi, Brother Gang, come here." ”

Chen Yi followed the voice and saw Wang Bowen, and then walked towards Wang Bowen.

Chen Yi is well-known for his good temper in the courtyard, and he can play with anyone, and he keeps greeting the guys in the courtyard.

Finally, Chen Yi came to Wang Bowen and asked, "Little fatty, is that person here?"

"Not yet, I heard that it will take a while to arrive, and I don't know how big that person's cards are, let the whole hospital come to greet them!" Wang Bowen muttered.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet, be quiet!" At this time, the old dean, who was standing in front of the crowd, spoke.

The originally noisy crowd gradually quieted down, and everyone looked at the old dean.

Seeing that the crowd was quiet, the old dean continued.

"Today, there is a big brother of yours who is going back to the hospital to visit, you don't make too much noise, but also pay attention to safety, especially the older children, take care of the little brothers and sisters around you, don't run around, if someone is tired, or need to study, they will go to the dormitory first, but don't be naughty, you know. ”

As soon as the old dean's voice fell, everyone said in unison: "Got it!"

The old dean listened, nodded with satisfaction, and then turned around and bowed his head to discuss something with a few teachers.

The old dean can be said to be highly respected in the hospital, and the young men in the courtyard are also very caring, many big friends hold the hands of the children, and some accompany the children to play games in the same place, in short, this scene looks so warm.

Wang Gang also walked to Wang Bowen's side badly, he touched Wang Bowen's head, and said teasingly: "Wang Bowen's child, do you want my brother to accompany you to play games, my brother's wrist wrench is amazing." ”

Wang Bowen looked at Wang Gang with disdain: "Brother Gang, when did you become so naΓ―ve."

"Hahaha, what is childishness, I am following the instructions of the old dean, giving loving care to the younger brothers and sisters, come and let my brother hug me!"

After speaking, Wang Gang was about to hug Wang Bowen.

Wang Bowen subconsciously dodged away, and said while hiding: "Brother Gang, I think you are Sichun, you are talking so numbly!"

"Hey, you little fat boy, you dare to say that I think of spring, see if I catch you and don't strip your clothes and throw them on the road. ”

After saying that, the two of them began to chase after me, completely forgetting what the old dean said just now.

Chen Yi on the side looked at them helplessly and shook his head.

Suddenly, the sound of a car engine sounded at the door, followed by a Mercedes-Benz and a pickup truck driving in, and everyone was looking out.

The car came to a steady stop, and two people got out of the Mercedes, a man and a woman.

The old dean and the teachers also hurried up to greet him.

The man who came down, wearing a suit and tie, was upright, but when he saw the old dean, he greeted him excitedly, hugged the old dean tightly, and shouted loudly: "Grandpa, I'm back!"

The old dean was also very excited at this time, and said, "Child, it's good to come back, it's good to come back!"

After a while, the man let go of the old dean, but kept holding the old dean's hand, he looked at the old dean deeply, and found that the old dean was already full of gray hair, and his face was full of wrinkles.

"Grandpa, you're old. The man said with emotion.

The old dean complained and said: "Qiangzi, you still say that it has been almost 20 years since you left, although you usually write to me, but I don't know how to come back and see." ”

"I'm sorry, grandpa, I've only been busy with business things all these years, at the beginning, I was afraid that I didn't make achievements and embarrassed you, but later I realized how ridiculous I was, no matter how much money I earned, it was more important not to be with my relatives. As the man spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.

The old dean's heart tightened and said kindly: "You, you are still so strong, remember that this place will always be your home." ”

The man wiped his tears, nodded and said, "Well, you will always be my grandfather." ”

Zhang Jing also walked up at this time, and the man looked at Zhang Jing, and said with a little choked: "You are Aunt Jing?"

Zhang Jing's eyes were red, but her face was very happy: "Little Qiangzi, do you remember Aunt Jing!"

The man held Zhang Jing's hand tightly and said, "Aunt Jing, don't make fun of me, you and grandpa are the closest people in my life." ”

After saying that, the man waved to the other woman who got out of the car with him, and the woman hurriedly walked over.

"Grandpa, Aunt Jing, this is your granddaughter-in-law, Xiaoli come quickly, this is grandpa, when I was homeless, it was my grandfather and Aunt Jing who adopted me. ”

The woman was probably in her thirties, dressed in formal attire, with long hair and an outstanding temperament.

She walked up to the old dean with a smile on her face and shouted respectfully: "Hello grandpa, I'm Wu Li, I often hear Qiangzi talk about you, thank you very much for taking in Qiangzi back then!"

The old dean also said with a smile on his face: "Okay, good, it's a blessing for Qiangzi to meet you, let's stop standing outside and go into the house to talk." ”

After speaking, the man said: "Grandpa, I didn't bring anything to you this time, I brought some daily necessities and some snacks to the children from out of town, and I will let them move them down in a while." ”

The old dean turned his head and looked, good guy, a whole truck, the old dean said a little angrily: "It's good to come, what else to bring, don't don't want it, you will pull it all away in a while, how much does it cost to have so many things!"

The man smiled and said, "Grandpa, I know the hardships in the courtyard, they are all small things, and they are not worth much." ”

Grandpa hesitated, indeed, everything in the orphanage was worked hard by grandpa little by little, usually very strict with children, there was almost no income in the hospital, just relying on the government, as well as the help of neighbors, this has lasted until now, seeing so many things, the old dean is still a little moved.

But before the old dean could speak, the man began to instruct the workers in the car to move their things.

"You, hey, it's just this once, not for example. The old dean said sternly.

The man said with a smile on his face: "I know grandpa, let's go, grandpa, it just so happens that I still have a lot to say to you!"

The old dean nodded, then looked at Zhang Jing behind him and said, "Zhang Jing, you and the other teachers should take the children back first, I'll talk to Qiangzi, Yu Yan, you stay, bring Xiaoyi over, Zhang Jing, after you arrange everyone, come over too." ”

Zhang Jing said: "Okay dean, I know!"

Wang Yuyan also agreed softly.

After speaking, Zhang Jing and the other teachers went back in an orderly manner with the children who were watching the excitement.

And the old dean took the two people back to the old dean's office, and Wang Yuyan called Chen Yi to go too.

The old dean and his entourage came to the office, the old dean asked Chen Yi to move a few chairs, and the rest sat down, Chen Yi poured water for the others, put them in front of them one by one, and then stood aside, and then Zhang Jing also came in and found a stool to sit down.

The old dean looked at everyone and broke the silence first.

"Let me tell you about it. ”

Pointing at the man, he said, " This is a child I took in when I first founded the orphanage, when I met him, he was almost eight years old, living alone on the streets, being bullied by a few older children, just when I passed by there, I drove away a few bad children, asked him about the situation, at that time he didn't even know what his name was, and then he took him in, and named him: Chen Qiang, at that time, because of the limited conditions at that time, the eighteen-year-old child in the courtyard had to leave the yard, and he had to find a job to live independently, the society at that time can be imagined, how difficult it was to find a job, but I didn't expect this child to have a chance, so many years have passed, I have my own career and family, and to be honest, I am happy in my heart. ”

When Chen Qiang heard this, he seemed to remember the scene back then, his red eyes and tears were also rolling.

Then the old dean followed Chen Qiang to reminisce about the past, and the two of them talked about a lot of previous things, and they also felt that time passed quickly.

At noon, the old dean cooked two good dishes by himself and entertained Chen Qiang, who said that he had found the taste of the year and was very happy to eat.

After dinner, the old dean and Chen Qiang continued to catch up, and Chen Yi also listened to it, he listened very carefully, as if he was there.

In the afternoon, Chen Qiang wanted to go around, and wanted to find out what he was doing here, but because the old dean's legs and feet were inconvenient, the old dean asked Chen Yi to accompany Chen Qiang.

The two of them walked in the courtyard, and Chen Qiang said first: "Your name is Chen Yi, right?"

Chen Yi nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Qiang (according to the backup Chen Yi should be called that)." ”

Chen Qiang patted Chen Yi on the shoulder and said: "I asked my grandfather before what difficulties there are in the yard now, but my grandfather has always refused to say, I know that grandpa is worried about this yard and has paid too many things, I swore that I have the ability to let my grandfather live a good life, but unfortunately, when I went out of society and carried a lot of things, I broke my oath back then." ”

Chen Yi looked at Chen Qiang, and didn't seem to understand what he was talking about, but he understood Chen Qiang's heart for his grandfather.
