Chapter 65: The Growth of a Daughter
Since Liu Zhenya had already released in person that he wanted to pursue Yao Luqi, Zheng Yichen was also happy to be an adult, and said that the rice on his back was too heavy, and asked the two to walk in front to lead the way, creating an opportunity for them to be alone. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zheng Yichen moved forward, looked at the figure of Liu Zhenya and Yao Luqi walking side by side, and said secretly in his heart: "Dude, I can only help you get here." β
Liu Zhenya was also angry, did not miss this opportunity to communicate, approached Yao Luqi with a shy face, and asked: "Luqi, you and our boss are classmates, so what major are you studying?" β
"Marketing."
Liu Zhenya was greatly encouraged when she heard her answer, knowing that this was a good start, and continued to ask out loud: "Oh, then how old are you this year, what is your birthday, what zodiac sign, and how many people in your family ......?"
Zheng Yichen stumbled behind him, almost fell to the ground, and a huge bead of sweat appeared on his forehead: "I finally know why this guy has been running naked for more than 20 years, how can anyone ask this for the first time they meet?" Blind date? The relevant departments check the household registration? Alas, it looks like he's going to have to keep running naked! β
Yao Luqi saw him throw out a series of questions, and her face was a little unhappy, if she usually encountered such a boring character, she would have been furious. However, due to the relationship between colleagues who are also social workers, they can only endure the discomfort and respond casually, and the information given is naturally some false information.
Poor Liu Zhenya has already been in the brain, how can he tell the truth from the fake? He memorized every answer he answered to Yao Luqi, for fear of missing something.
Zheng Yichen shook his head helplessly behind him, from the beginning he was not optimistic that Liu Zhenya would be able to pursue Yao Luqi, but he didn't expect him to be so bad.
In fact, aside from Liu Zhenya's performance, Zheng Yichen can also boldly predict that it is impossible for the two of them.
When he was in college, he also knew several rich children, one of whom was a hardcore buddy named Li Xuan, and he was an out-and-out little tyrant.
I've never seen a pig run, and I've eaten pork. Zheng Yichen lives a simple life, and under Li Xuan's ears, he has also cultivated a vicious eye, and can see those low-key and luxurious well-known brands at a glance.
The skin care products on Yao Luqi's face are Yaslauder, and the fragrance exuded by her body is the unique fragrance of Dior perfume, and the black coat she wears on her body looks ordinary, but it is actually from the designer of the well-known Italian clothing brand and Florent. Even the pair of boots is a limited edition women's shoe.
Although Yao Luqi didn't carry a leather bag today, based on her current outfit, it is not difficult for Zheng Yichen to guess that this woman's leather bag must be a world brand like LV!
As for Liu Zhenya, Zheng Yichen also knows a little about his family background: his father is a civil servant, his mother is a teacher, and he is a well-off family, far from being a rich family.
The status of the two can be said to be a world apart!
Zheng Yichen also guessed that Yao Luqi came here to work as a social worker, just to experience life, just like the ancient emperors paid private visits to inspect the people's suffering, adding a different color to his resume.
If she really wants to tie the knot with someone of the opposite sex, she will go to a fancy party or attend Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, rather than choose to find true love in the slums of this metropolis.
Therefore, Zheng Yichen was powerless to complain about Liu Zhenya's naΓ―ve thoughts, so he could only respond with "hehe".
Zheng Yichen had just come out of his thoughts, and he happened to hear Liu Zhenya say something funny, and he laughed to himself.
After listening to it, Yao Luqi responded seriously: "Hehe." β
Liu Zhenya saw Yao Luqi's flower-like smile, her breath stagnated, and she turned her head and squeezed her eyebrows at Zheng Yichen, very proud, as if to say: Bow down to your buddies! I made the goddess laugh.
Zheng Yichen forced a smile, gave him a thumbs up, and said silently in his heart: "Zhen Yajun, you are going to be lonely for the rest of your life!" β
He looked at Liu Zhenya's golden figure bathed in the sun, and silently wished: "Let's run naked to the end of the world, Sao Nian!" β
During the conversation, the three of them finally entered the home of the first lonely elderly and began their own work as social workers.
Zheng Yichen is responsible for washing the clothes and chopsticks for the elderly, Liu Zhenya is responsible for wiping tables and chairs and making beds, and Yao Luqi is sweeping the floor, which is the easiest work arrangement.
Liu Zhenya became serious and had his own momentum. He put away his nymphomaniac behavior, talked with the old man cordially, and his hands were not idle, and after a while he did his job, took the initiative to boil a pot of boiling water, poured it into the basin to adjust the water temperature, brought the steaming basin to the old man, took off the shoes and socks for the old man, and pressed the old man's feet into the water.
At first, Yao Luqi thought that Liu Zhenya did this kind of thing just to perform in front of her, and she was a little disdainful.
Later, seeing that his movements were smooth and natural, it was obvious that boiling water for the old man to soak his feet was already familiar, without any artificiality, and realized that he had wrongly blamed Liu Zhenya's kindness, and he was a little reluctant to go, and began to have some good feelings for Liu Zhenya.
Zheng Yichen poked his head out of the toilet and stretched out his hand full of foam and beckoned, "Zhenya, bring the socks you took off, I'll wash them by the way." β
"Order!" Liu Zhenya stuffed one sock into the other, rolled it into a ball, and threw it to Zheng Yichen.
Zheng Yichen grabbed it and continued to wash his clothes.
Yao Luqi's work is the easiest, but when she rarely picks up a broom to sweep the floor, her movements are twisted and unfamiliar, and it takes her a lot of work to have a small space of more than 30 square meters.
After she finished sweeping the floor, she was a little tired, and she was going to move a chair to rest, but when she saw Liu Zhenya squatting on the ground washing the feet of the old man, and Zheng Yichen who was washing the old man's clothes, she was a little touched in her heart, and picked up a tool to clean the spider silk in the corner of the wall.
After a while, she was gray-faced, unkempt, and no longer elegant.
Zheng Yichen took the balcony to dry after washing the clothes, and then returned to the house, and saw that Yao Luqi took the initiative to do the work that was not assigned to her, making her whole body dirty, and she was not unhappy at all, but enjoyed it, and was a little surprised: "I still underestimated this rich lady." β
He found a clean towel, soaked it in warm water, and handed it to Yao Luqi: "Here, wipe your face." β
Yao Luqi blinked and asked, "Is my face dirty?" β
"Well, it's the same as the big cat."
Yao Luqi took the towel and wiped her dusty face clean, and her fair complexion immediately added two bright reds, so you can imagine how much she cares about her image to wipe it so hard.
It is precisely because of her beauty-loving personality that it can set off how valuable her actions just now are.
Yao Luqi finished wiping it and handed the towel back to Zheng Yichen, the corners of her mouth were full of smiles, and two cute tiger teeth popped out again: "Thank you." β
Zheng Yichen originally guessed that she would complain, be dirty, bitter and tired, but he didn't expect that she would be willing to do this job, and he was a little impressed, and praised loudly: "Good job!" β
Yao Luqi smiled and said, "You too." β
Liu Zhenya just came back from pouring the footwashing water, and when he heard the two of them praising each other, he shouted, "Hey, don't leave me behind." We're a team, so why doesn't anyone praise me for doing a good job? β
Zheng Yichen and Yao Luqi looked at each other and smiled, looked at Liu Zhenya and said in unison: "The best one is you!" β
Liu Zhenya was a little fluttering when he was praised, and waved his hand and said: "Even if you are a deaf person, you can hear that your words are from the heart." β
The three of them laughed at the same time, and even the old man sat on his chair, looking at them with a loving gaze, and he couldn't help but bow his head, and a kind smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The social work of the three of them had a good beginning, and the relationship was invisibly much more harmonious.
Liu Zhenya, who is already talkative, naturally can't control his mouth even more after getting acquainted with Yao Luqi.
Yao Luqi also had more patience to deal with Liu Zhenya's nonsensical questions, and was no longer as perfunctory as before.
And Zheng Yichen still kept his distance from the two to avoid becoming a shiny light bulb.
In a blink of an eye, the three of them visited several families one after another, and after delivering oil and rice, Liu Zhenya looked at the list of tasks and said: "There is still this quilt left, which was sent to Grandma Zhang's house, and then our work today is successfully over." β
Yao Luqi touched her greasy hair and said, "Hurry up, I'm a little itchy, go home and take a shower after finishing work." β
Zheng Yichen said: "Anyway, it's the last one, it's no problem for you to go first, let's go." β
Yao Luqi puffed out her cheeks and was a little angry: "I won't leave first, I just said that we are a team, and now I have to leave myself behind, it's too much." β
Liu Zhenya didn't want Yao Luqi to leave first, and was very happy to hear this, so he echoed: "Yes, Yichen, you are too much." β
Zheng Yichen had no choice but to apologize to the two for his gaffe, and the three continued to move forward, and soon arrived at their destination: Grandma Zhang's home.
Zheng Yichen knocked on the door, and after waiting for a while, the door opened with a "creak".
The three of them said in unison, "Hello Grandma Zhang." β
A hunchbacked old woman on crutches, her eyes widened and cloudy, and she looked at it for a few seconds, before she grinned, revealing her bare gums: "It turned out to be Yichen and Zhenya, you came to visit me again?" Come on in. β
She turned sideways to invite the three of them in, and chattered endlessly: "I said it all, you should have more time to visit Lao Li, Lao Wu, they don't have any relatives, I'm different, at least I have a grandson, you don't have to worry too much about me, more to help people in need." β
When she turned around, Yao Luqi saw that the gray cotton jacket on the old man's body had broken a few small holes, revealing white cotton wool.
The air in the room was muddy and the light was dim, Zheng Yichen turned on the switch of the fluorescent tube, and Yao Luqi returned to her normal sight and looked around at the furnishings in the house.
A bed, a table, a wardrobe, two wooden chairs, and some basic household appliances, not even a TV.
The families I visited were already poor, but they were much richer than the family in front of them.
Yao Luqi had an idiom in her heart: the family is surrounded by four walls.
Even the four remaining walls have a few sinuous cracks.
"Didn't you say you had a grandson? Why does the family background look worse than those few old people who have no relatives? She was suspicious.
Liu Zhenya saw the doubts in her heart and called her to the corner, while Zheng Yichen spoke to Grandma Zhang loudly to ensure that the old man could not hear the conversation between Liu Yao and the others.
Liu Zhenya looked at Grandma Zhang, and whispered to Yao Luqi: "Grandma Zhang is a poor person, her husband died early, leaving a posthumous son, and it was not easy for a person to raise her son, and she also married a beautiful daughter-in-law, and the two couples gave birth to a big fat child a year after marriage. Grandma Zhang was so happy that she thought she could live a comfortable life for a few days, but who knew that her son and daughter-in-law died in a car accident while hitchhiking, leaving her grandson to live with her. β
Yao Luqi choked up with tears in her eyes and asked, "It's so pitiful." β
"Well, for an old man, the most painful thing is that the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, she was grief-stricken at the time, and she had the intention of committing suicide, but looking at her grandson who had just been born, the heart of death was also light. A middle-aged and elderly woman in her fifties had no choice but to sell her labor force. She gritted her teeth, rushed to do all the dirty work, and raised her grandson to adulthood, but she was left with an injury. β
Yao Luqi still has questions: "The grandchildren have grown up, and they should be able to make money to supplement the family, why is the family still so poor?" β
Liu Zhenya's eyes erupted with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said: "That's because Grandma Zhang finally brought up her grandson, and he is an ungrateful white-eyed wolf!" β
Yao Luqi's heart moved, knowing that she had finally asked the point, and she didn't urge, and quietly listened to Liu Zhenya continue.
Liu Zhenya lowered his voice and said: "Her grandson has been stubborn since he was a child, and he has done a lot of things like stealing chickens and dogs, and his reputation in this area is very stinky, and everyone looks at Grandma Zhang's face, and it is not easy to come to the door to complain." As the saying goes, stealing needles when you are young, stealing gold when you are big, stealing oil when you are young, and stealing cattle when you are big, the villagers' forbearance has become a kind of making her grandson go darker and darker on the road of life. β
Liu Zhenya sighed, and then said: "When he was sixteen years old, he dropped out of school and mingled with a group of young people in society, contracted all kinds of vices, cheated and abducted, ate, drank, prostituted and gambled. Every night when I don't go home, I go home occasionally, just talk and laugh with the old man, coax her to be happy, and then sweep away the old man's living allowance and valuable belongings, so this home is what you see now. β
Yao Luqi has grown up in the spotlight since she was a child, when has she ever seen such a dirty character, the hardships of life and the dark secret history of the people at the bottom are unimaginable to her rich daughter who bites the golden spoon with her imagination.
Her scalp was numb and tears flowed when she listened, especially when she listened to the conversation between Grandma Zhang and Zheng Yichen, and she didn't leave her grandson in three sentences, she felt even more sad.
Under the outline of Grandma Zhang's simple language, this young man with bad deeds has become a motivated young man with a lot of filial piety, if Yao Luqi didn't get the truth from Liu Zhenya, she would have been deceived.
At this time, when she saw a few holes in Grandma Zhang's padded jacket, she suddenly felt that her eyes were as uncomfortable as pins and needles, she took off her coat and put it on her body.
Grandma Zhang felt the warmth from her coat and reached out to take it off: "You guys...... I'm already grateful for the quilt you've given me, and I can't accept anything else. Yao Luqi held it down and didn't let the old man break free.
Zheng Yichen witnessed Yao Luqi's actions like this, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he persuaded softly: "Grandma Zhang, don't shirk it." β
Liu Zhenya also opened his mouth to persuade: "Yes, yes, this is just a little bit of young people's hearts for their elders. β
Under the persuasion of the three of them, the old man finally put down his coat, put it on his body happily, and said: "It's so intimate, it's so warm." β
She looked at Xiaotong, opened her mouth and was about to say something, when suddenly her face turned pale, her ruddy lips turned the color of purple grapes, her hand covered her heart, and she fell to the ground!
