Chapter 148: The New Man and the Old Man
Pushing open the corner door, bunches of green grapes hang under the trellises, and the green leaves on the grape trellis are entwined with green vines, shielding a shade under the scorching sun, and the breeze blows and rustles.
Zhang Liexing followed behind me, walked through the grape trellis, looked at the large crops in the vegetable furrow, and looked a little surprised, "It's good here." As he spoke, he stepped forward and touched the green tomatoes that had grown from the persimmon seedlings on the ground.
"This persimmon is commonly known as a thief does not steal ......" An old man came out of the west door of the watchman's hut with a hoe on his shoulder, and while talking to us, he went to work in a half-trimmed field on the east side of the hut.
"What's your last name?" I accosted the old man.
He glanced at me, although I also live here, he has never seen me, "Your surname is Wu." ”
"He's the newcomer you say?" Zhang Liexing asked me, he might be a little strange, why I would be interested in a new old man in the hospital.
I nodded and continued to interrogate Lao Wu, "Where do your two grandchildren go to school?"
When he heard this, he looked up at me in surprise, "Are you ......?"
In order to avoid suspicion, I directly introduced to him, "I am Gao Qiang's wife, and this is Zhang Gongzi." ”
Lao Wu glanced at the two of us, and suddenly smiled embarrassedly, "I'm really sorry, I thought you two were a couple who came here as guests." ”
Misunderstood by Lao Wu, I smiled wryly, and Zhang Liexing on the side was even more silent and let the past go aside.
"My two grandchildren are both studying in the nearby five-star primary school, and I am really grateful to Mr. Gao for saving these two children. Lao Wu stopped what he was doing, put the hoe on the ground, and bowed deeply to me, "Thank you." ”
This is what Gao Qiang does, where can it be counted on my head.
"If you want to thank Gao Qiang, you don't need to thank me. "I ran away and wouldn't let him thank me.
Lao Wu didn't care if I accepted it or not, he still bowed 90 degrees respectfully, I was worried that his thin body would be broken by his vigorous movements.
After the ceremony, he continued to pick up the hoe to work, "I don't thank you for my kindness, and Mr. Gao won't let me say thank you, I just said that I should let the two children study hard and go to his company to help him when they grow up, I know that he is comforting me, he is so powerful, where can I use others to help?"
Lao Wu said, swinging his hoe, and skillfully planed the ground, breaking up the clods of soil that had been turned out, and making the dry and hard ground soft.
"What are you going to plant?" I asked him.
He didn't mind me bothering, so he only replied to me, "Mr. Gao said that he likes to eat home-grown cabbage, I will plant some and let Mr. Gao try it." ”
Hearing Lao Wu's mouthful, I was a little bored, so I interrupted and asked him, "When will your grandsons get out of school, I haven't seen them yet, and I came here to see them." ”
Lao Wu was very surprised, "They all have to go to school during the day, and if they want to see each other, they have to wait until the afternoon after school, and the driver will pick them up to see ......" said, Lao Wu seemed to remember something, went into the square door of the courtyard hut, and took a photo out after a while.
"Since Ying Tai wants to see them, let's take a look at the photos first, this is still what Mr. Gao specially took for our grandfather when we first came. ”
I took the photo in Lao Wu's hand, Lao Wu was in the center, and there was a little boy with yellow muscles and thin muscles standing on the left side in front of him, and Lao Wu was holding a girl about two years younger than the boy in his right hand.
Judging from the faces of the two children, I can't see any similarity with Gao Qiang at all, it seems that I am overhearted.
Zhang Liexing also leaned over to take a look, and then he snorted.
"What's wrong?" I asked, turning my head to him.
He bent over slightly, and got a little closer to me because he leaned over to look at the picture in my hand, and I turned my head to look at him again, and the two of them were almost facing each other, and the tip of their nose touched the tip of their nose, and they almost kissed.
I was so shocked that my face turned red, and Zhang Liexing quickly straightened up and gave in, because of the wound, his brows frowned, but he did not hesitate at his feet.
Seeing this, Lao Wu coughed lightly and went back to continue shoveling the ground.
"I know these two kids. Zhang Liexing said, took the photo and looked at it carefully.
He said to me with certainty, "They used to ask for food on the street, and I met Mr. Gao, and he said that I gave too much money to my two children, and it would hurt them. ”
I wondered, "If you give more money to help them, why can you harm them?" Then I figured it out again, indeed, for some people who are not able to protect themselves, too much money is a disaster.
"I thought the same way at the time, it seems that I was wrong, or Mr. Gao's decision was right, especially that he can make them pay something while taking care of them, so that they don't feel like a parasite, and they won't become a waste dependent on others, in this regard, I am really inferior to him. ”
Zhang Liexing's evaluation is very pertinent, this is also the place where I am a strong strongman, I and Zhang Liexing, these two people who are bent on breaking free from his shackles and knocking him down cannot be compared with him.
"Well, it'......" I didn't want to talk too much about Gao Qiang with Lao Wu, so I handed him back the photo in my hand, and said goodbye to Zhang Liexing and left.
Out of the corner gate to the backyard, the gardener Wang was busy replacing the withered tulips, and a basin of basins was removed from the cart with multiple layers of jasmine and pansies to be placed.
Seeing me and Zhang Liexing appear, Lao Wang stopped what he was doing and greeted me and Zhang Liexing, I responded to him with a smile and walked from the path to the front yard.
Zhang Liexing still walked slowly, and came to the bottom of the porch and collapsed on the recliner with a tired face.
"Isn't it feeling well?" I asked him, regretting why I had taken him so far.
He shook his head, "I'm not tired, I'm happy to see the two bitter children settled." "My face was light, and the paleness of my face gave him a kind of weak beauty.
I looked away and smiled, "yes, that's good." I was about to talk to him again, but when I looked back, I saw Zhang Liexing actually sleeping crooked on the recliner.
"Zhang Liexing!" I greeted nervously, stepped forward to touch his forehead, it was cold, it seemed that he was just asleep, there was no problem, I reassured me to withdraw my hand and beckoned the fat brother to come over.
Brother Fat repeated his old tricks and carried him to the bedroom, while I went upstairs to continue practicing.
Peaceful times are always short-lived, and when I go downstairs after practicing the piano and Gao Qiang comes back, I meet the person I least want to see.
Na Tingxue stood beside Gao Qiang, standing at the door of the living room and bowing to me, I looked at her indifferently.
"Why are you here?" I asked her, disgusted.
She just replied to me in a regular manner, with a humble attitude, "It was Mr. Gao who picked me up, saying that Liexing was injured and needed someone to take care of him, and asked me to come over and accompany him for a few days." ”
It's Gao Qiang's bad idea again, I sat on the sofa with white eyes, and there was a bodyguard who was fired by me that day standing next to him, and he liked all the people I hated.
