"Stinky boy, haven't eaten yet!Let's go, my aunt will give you a hot meal!" Aunt Li knew that Chen Yi came out so early, and it was estimated that she couldn't make it to breakfast in the courtyard, and regardless of whether Chen Yi agreed or not, she pulled Chen Yi open the door and entered the commissary.

"Auntie, you don't have to be busy, just pad it casually if you have some food!" Chen Yi knew that Aunt Li was very hard, so she went to pull the goods early in the morning, and it is estimated that she didn't even eat a mouthful of hot rice herself.

"It's okay, my aunt didn't eat it, in the morning, my aunt boiled a little porridge by herself, and wanted to wait for her to come back to eat, just when you came, my aunt will heat up the rice!" Aunt Li said.

"Okay, auntie!" Chen Yi responded.

After speaking, Aunt Li went to the backyard of the commissary, the backyard is where Aunt Li lives, and a small room is built as a kitchen, where Aunt Li usually eats and lives.

Seeing that Aunt Li went to the backyard, Chen Yi was not idle, went out of the commissary, and unloaded the goods on the cart one by one, he didn't know where to put it, so he first found a place that was out of the way, thinking that when Aunt Li came, he was asking her where to put it.

Aunt Li's commissary is not big, there is forty or fifty square meters, almost the largest commissary around, and the samples are also the most complete.

When Chen Yi was about to unload the goods on the flatbed, Aunt Li also came out of the backyard, Aunt Li lifted the thick curtain between the backyard and the commissary, and saw that Chen Yi had already unloaded the goods, Aunt Li said excitedly: "Xiaoyi, don't be busy, hurry up and wash your hands and eat, and your aunt will unload it herself in a while." ”

Chen Yi wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand, and said simply: "It's okay aunt, it's over soon, and it's not too late for me to eat after unloading!"

Aunt Li looked at Chen Yi's busy figure back and forth, one of her heart knots suddenly opened, after so many years of ups and downs, she was busy alone every day and night, and now there is another person in the store, she finally felt the breath of home that she had not seen for a long time.

Aunt Li turned around and went back to the kitchen, lit the fire at the bottom of the pot that had not been extinguished again, and soon the smell of stir-fry spread from the kitchen to the commissary.

After Chen Yi finished moving the last box of goods, he suddenly smelled the fragrance, he took a deep breath greedily, and his stomach gurgled.

Chen Yi touched his stomach and smelled the aroma of the food and entered the backyard.

It just so happened that Aunt Li came out with freshly fried vegetables and scrambled eggs.

"Xiaoyi, let's go, let's go to dinner!"

Aunt Li said, holding the plate in one hand and Chenyi in the other.

Chen Yi and Aunt Li came to the dining table, Chen Yi saw the steaming hot dishes on the dining table, he swallowed his saliva, and was embarrassed to eat with chopsticks.

Aunt Li looked at the restrained Chenyi, so she took a steamed bun and stuffed it into Chenyi's hand and said, "Look at what, eat quickly, don't be polite to your aunt, just treat this as your own home, eat quickly!"

Chen Yi smiled gratefully at Aunt Li, then picked up the chopsticks, carefully held a small piece of egg, chewed it and ate it slowly.

Aunt Li looked at Chen Yi's way of eating, and knew that he didn't let go of eating, Aunt Li smiled and kept picking up vegetables for Chen Yi, urging him to eat in big gulps, don't be like a little girl.

Chen Yi's face was flushed when he was said, and he was not restrained, he was late in his mouthful, Chen Yi ate two steamed buns in a row, drank a big bowl of porridge, and the plate in front of him was also swept away.

"Good guy, the stinky boy is quite edible!" Aunt Li quipped, but Aunt Li saw that Chen Yi was so able to eat, and she didn't eat much of her own food, so she left the food for Chen Yi.

Chen Yi scratched his head a little embarrassed.

Aunt Li smiled and touched Chenyi's head and said, "Come here, auntie, auntie will definitely feed you for nothing." ”

Aunt Li stood up and put away the dishes and chopsticks, and then asked, "By the way, did you tell your grandfather about yesterday?"

"Having said that, grandpa agrees very much, saying that when I come to you, I should have stepped into the society as soon as possible, learn to buy things with you, and I can do big business after learning well!" Chen Yi said with a smile.

Aunt Li nodded with a smile and said, "Well, grandpa just agrees, I don't know if I can do big business, anyway, the orphanage won't want you in the future, you can come to my aunt at any time, and my aunt will cook food for you every day!"

"Thank you, auntie!" Chen Yi listened and his heart warmed.

The rules of the orphanage are that the children do not belong to the orphanage after the age of 18, let them step into the society by themselves, whether they are admitted to the university or not, they no longer belong to the orphanage, in order to adopt so many children, the orphanage has no more money to support them to go to college, because the cost of studying in college is really too high.

In the past, if those children who were over the age were admitted to university, many children did not choose to go to school, because the hospital could not afford the expensive tuition fees for them, many children chose to drop out of school, only those who did very well in the exam, and those who had scholarships could continue to study for their dreams, in fact, many children could only step into the society early every year.

After breakfast, Aunt Li began to tell Chen Yi about the distribution of goods in the store, and gave him a small notebook, which recorded the price of each product.

When he has nothing to do, he looks at the price of the goods and tries to memorize the numbers as much as possible, so that it is much easier to settle the accounts, and there is no need to look for them in the book.

Maybe it's winter, there are not many people in the store, Aunt Li told Chen Yi that there is no need to receive guests, they will buy what they need, most of the counters are put some small things, when customers can't find things, they will naturally come to ask you, come to someone, just sit at the counter and wait for them to choose something to checkout.

At that time, Chen Yi didn't understand, so he asked: "Auntie, what should I do if some customers are sitting at the counter stealing things?"

Aunt Li said with a smile: "If he wants to steal, you just look at him, he will still steal, not afraid of thieves stealing, just afraid of thieves, and most of the people who come to us to buy things are nearby, and they are still relatively honest, but if there are strangers in the store, you should pay more attention to it, nothing else, and there are nothing valuable in the store." ”

Chen Yi nodded, as if he understood or not.

In the afternoon, there were more and more people, but most of them were children, who came to buy candy and melon seeds.

Sometimes a few acquaintances came back, and when they saw that it was not Aunt Li who was sitting at the counter, but Chen Yi, they all jokingly said: "Yo, when did this Sister Li have a son!"

When Aunt Li was away, Chen Yi also smiled, after all, he was not familiar with them, if Aunt Li heard this sentence when she was there, Aunt Li would definitely joke with them.

At night, there was almost no one left, Chen Yi and Aunt Li were also ready to pack up and close the door, after cleaning up, Chen Yi put on his hat and asked, "Auntie, will you still buy tomorrow morning?"

Aunt Li put a handful of melon seeds in Chen Yi's pocket and said, "No, it's cold, and I can't sell much goods in a day, so I won't buy them in the past few days." ”

Chen Yi nodded and said, "That aunt, I'll go first, and I'll come back early tomorrow morning!"

Aunt Li looked at the shadow of Chen Yi leaving, and shouted: "Come to the meeting tomorrow night, don't come so early, it's strangely cold." ”

"Got it, auntie!" Chen Yi's voice came.

……

Chen Yi returned to the courtyard, passed by the communication room and went to see the old dean first, the old dean asked Chen Yi how he felt today, Chen Yi said that it was not bad, he learned a lot of things, the old dean nodded, chatted for a while, Chen Yi asked the old dean to go back to rest first, he was here for a while.

The old dean disagreed, saying that he was tired for a day, so let Chen Yi go back first, he was used to it.

Chen Yi looked at the old dean, he knew why the old dean had always been so stubborn, stubborn to go out on patrol several times a night, because he was afraid that if he was negligent one day, then the negligence would be a life.

However, now the living conditions are getting better and better, in recent years, orphanages have rarely picked up abandoned children, but this does not mean that there are none, there are many children with congenital diseases who will still be abandoned by their parents, but the orphanage's funds are limited, many times they can only choose to call the police, and then send the children to the government's welfare home, only in this way can they live a healthier life.

In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer new children admitted to the orphanage, except for Chenyi's group of children, who are the most, those who go to elementary school, kindergarten, and those who have not gone to school add up to only a dozen children, and there are almost forty children in the hospital.

Now that the policy is good, the government has also opened up a lot of policies to this orphanage, each child has been given a certain amount of child support every month, and teachers have been transferred from other welfare homes to help the school take care of the children, which has saved the old dean a lot of problems.

In the past, it was the old dean who went out alone to earn money to feed the children in the courtyard, and with the charity of the surrounding villagers, this orphanage that could collapse at any time survived.

Many people around know that the old dean is a good person, but no one knows why the old dean is so selfless, and no one knows what the old dean's origin is.

……

The old dean stubbornly wanted to keep vigil by himself, Chen Yi didn't argue anymore, he said goodbye to the old dean and went back to the dormitory.

As soon as he arrived at the dormitory, Wang Bowen pulled Chen Yi and told him about the interesting things that happened in the courtyard today, but Chen Yi was indeed a little tired on this day, so he washed up and slept after chatting with Wang Bowen casually.

Early the next morning, Chen Yi got up early, put on his clothes, and was discharged from the hospital to go to Aunt Li's commissary.

When Chen Yi first arrived, Aunt Li had just opened the door, and Aunt Li greeted Chen Yi from a distance after seeing it: "Why did you come so early, didn't I say that you would sleep more?"

Chen Yi scratched his head with a smile and said, "I'm used to getting up early at school, and it's uncomfortable to sleep too much!"

"You kid, come in and warm up, it's cold outside!" Aunt Li asked with concern.

Chen Yi took a hot breath into his hand and said, "It's okay, but I think it's probably going to snow this day, it's a little hazy." ”

Aunt Li looked at the sky outside the door, it was a little overcast, and the sun never came out.

"Well, almost, it's snowing heavily at this time in previous years, and it hasn't snowed so far this year!" Aunt Li recalled.

"Well, I haven't seen snow for a long time!" Chen Yi looked out the window a little distracted, I don't know why, Sophie's figure suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and muttered: I don't know how Fei'er is doing this holiday?
