Chapter 23: The Gift
My brother-in-law's school team selection this year went smoothly, with the experience of the first year, and with full preparation, my brother-in-law was successfully selected for this year's school team list. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info also includes Lu Chen, who was denied by the coach last year, which can be regarded as a great joy.
Originally, everyone thought that the brother-in-law would continue to pull domestic sales for his future father-in-law and take everyone to drink. I never thought that my brother-in-law didn't take the initiative to mention it this time.
Lu Chen asked puzzledly, "Have you changed sex today?" ”
"If you have something to do tomorrow, you shouldn't drink." After the brother-in-law finished speaking, he looked at Dongzi and smiled.
Under Lu Chen's questioning, I knew that everyone was going to form a group to visit Chen Feng's house together.
Lu Chen and Chen Feng are now friends who don't know each other, and he feels that being with his brother-in-law is indeed happier than before. So, he took the initiative to ask if he could go with him? And proposed to arrange a vehicle tomorrow to send everyone.
There is a car to send, there is no need for a group of people to crowd the bus, and then transfer to the subway, everyone is naturally very happy to pass the unanimous vote under Chen Feng's nodding and agreement.
The next morning, everyone came to the assembly point at the school gate, followed by Chen Feng and his roommate Tian Dabao.
After waiting at the school gate for a while, a seven-seater business car stopped in front of them, Lu Chen opened the car door and stepped out of the car.
Looking at the expensive car logo, Dongzi was the first to step forward, "Where did you get a luxury car?" You kid won't be a rich second generation, will you? ”
"Do a small business at home, this is for picking up customers, I don't dare to be the rich second generation, hurry up and get in the car." Lu Chen said as he motioned for everyone to get into the car.
The car has a lot of space, except for our sister Tong Yan who can't come with us because she needs to go home, the remaining six people and a dog sit in the back just right.
Songjiang Normal University is about 20 kilometers away from the city, which is not too far, and the business car stops and goes, wandering for about 40 minutes, and finally enters the city. After more than an hour of slow walking on the crowded roads in the city, I arrived at my destination.
The family looks like a welfare home on a private estate.
When I was in high school, my brother-in-law and Fuyuko often came to play, so they were very familiar with this place. Dongzi took the lead and walked in, "Uncle Lin, we're back." ”
followed by his brother-in-law, Beibei, and Lu Chen and Tian Dabao, who came for the first time and were curious to watch while walking.
Chen Feng hugged Bai Ze and stood in front of the welfare home, in a daze.
Originally, Chen Feng didn't understand why his mother wanted to set up a welfare home to take in those fatherless and motherless children. But later, he gradually understood that his mother was not taking them in, but giving them a home.
The unpretentious smiling faces in the welfare home made Chen Feng, who was depressed and frustrated at that time, also warm.
So he simply sold the apartment that his mother had left for him and moved into a welfare home.
He didn't want to live alone in a cold apartment, and he wanted to have a home.
"Chen Feng, hurry up, Uncle Lin made dumplings, and my stomach is screaming." Beibei leaned on the side of the door and shouted loudly. followed by Tian Dabao's voice: "It's fragrant, my saliva." ”
Chen Feng shook his head, put Bai Ze on the ground, and replied: "It's here!" ”
Uncle Lin is about forty years old, and he has known Chen Feng's mother for many years, and he can be regarded as an elder who has watched Chen Feng grow up little by little, and has won the trust of the mother and son.
For many years, Chen Feng has been calling him Uncle Lin, as for his full name? He also asked, but Uncle Lin never said, presumably there was something unspeakable.
After his mother left, Uncle Lin was the only old employee who stayed, and he supported the welfare home alone. Otherwise, with Chen Feng's current situation, this welfare home might have closed a few years ago.
After the meal, it's nap time for the kids. Chen Feng cautiously helped the children cover the blankets embroidered with cartoon patterns and gently closed the door.
With contemptuous eyes, he glanced at the crowd who were lying on the sofa in the hall because they had eaten too much, stroking their bellies.
Outside the door of the welfare home, there is a courtyard of more than 300 square meters, planted with a few fruit trees, and Uncle Lin is sitting on a bench under the shade of the trees with a cigarette pouch in his mouth.
Seeing Chen Feng come out, he beckoned.
"Hehe, Uncle Lin's craftsmanship is good, the food in the school cafeteria is hard to eat."
"You kid, you're going to say nice things." Uncle Lin smiled and took two more puffs on the cigarette holder, "Tomorrow, I won't accompany you." No one is looking at these little cubs, and I can't rest assured. ”
Chen Feng leaned back on the bench and hummed, looking up at the sky through the gaps in the branches and leaves of the fruit trees.
"Here's for you." Uncle Lin didn't know when he took out a small box and touched Chen Feng.
"What is this?" Chen Feng took the box and gently flipped the lid open.
A necklace?
"What your mother left behind is a gift for you."
Chen Feng took the necklace out of the box and put it in his hand for a while.
It was silvery white in color and hard in texture, not like gold or silver, but probably some kind of alloy, and there were three rings of different sizes engraved with dark lines on it.
The careful Chen Feng found that the necklace had no seams, and the three rings were also not, so how were they strung together? What a magical craft.
"Don't get tangled, take it, there will always be some mysteries in this world that can't be explained by common sense." Uncle Lin guessed Chen Feng's thoughts and said meaningfully. Then he knocked the burned ash from the cigarette pouch and stood up, "I'll go out and buy something and make you something good for the evening." ”
Chen Feng thought about it, it was really like this, such as his own ability, and where could common sense explain it.
He smiled slightly and replied, "Okay." He carefully put the necklace on and put the three rings along the neckline of the T-shirt.
This was left by his mother, Chen Feng pressed the ring with his hand through the T-shirt, feeling the coldness on the metal being assimilated by his body temperature and becoming warm.
He didn't know that the three rings behind the T-shirt were emitting a faint three-color light at the moment, and they were fleeting.
The sun after autumn is always easy to make people sleepy, and Chen Feng, who was leaning on the bench, fell asleep unconsciously.
When I woke up, it was already dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun had already dyed the clouds in the sky.
At this moment, a little boy with a round face and a chubby voice was squatting in front of him, staring straight at him.
This child Chen Feng naturally recognized that he was the last child brought back from outside by his mother before his death, a little adult in the welfare home.
"Chen Zhige, why don't you go to play with everyone, why are you squatting here to watch me?" Chen Feng pointed to Tian Dabao, who was playing wildly in the yard with his children.
"To protect you, of course." Chen Zhige stood up and said seriously, "You are too weak." ”
Oh, being told by a 6-year-old kid that you're too weak, how weak does that have to be? Chen Feng was amused and rubbed Chen Zhige's small head, "Then how can I thank you." ”
Chen Zhige opened Chen Feng's claws, "Thank you you don't have to, don't always rub my head in the future, such a big person, how can you not know the minimum respect." ”
"Also, put your necklace away, don't show it to others. If someone snatches you away, you will cry. ”
"Good, good." Chen Feng held back a smile, his body trembled slightly, Chen Zhige's old-fashioned appearance was really funny.
"Hey, I'm telling you something very serious, what are you laughing at?" Chen Zhige's eyes rolled, "Alas, it's really worry-free." Too lazy to pay attention to you. He turned his back and walked away.
Chen Feng stepped forward, lifted Chen Zhige, who was not half his height, and ran to the people in the courtyard, "You're right, that's right, I'll give you 32 likes." ”
Chen Zhige, who was clamped around his waist, struggled frantically, "Let me down, let me down, hey, can't you respect others." ”
In exchange for Chen Feng's hahaha's demonic laughter.
