Chapter 163: Confused
After going to the grave, Chu Chen tidied up the salute, took the very sturdy cardboard box that was wrapped, and then took Chu Yulan to Lu Fu's family together.
At this time, many villagers had gathered at the gate, and basically all the people in the village had already arrived, except for those who were out of town.
The old village chief should have told everyone about Chu Chen's road repair for the village. When the villagers saw Chu Chen's arrival, they all greeted him warmly, and everyone looked at Chu Chen with a grateful look in their eyes. "Chu Wazi (Chen Wazi) is good" voices, and some grateful words, are endless.
Seeing this, the old village chief shouted loudly: "Let's let Chenwazi tell us a few words, okay!" ”
"Good!" Everyone present applauded loudly.
Chu Chen scratched his head and looked slightly embarrassed, on this occasion, he really didn't know what to say, but after several years of training, he didn't have much stage fright, coughed lightly twice, and said stubbornly: "Grandparents, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters in Lujia Village, I ......"
As soon as he said this, he heard Lu Xiaole, the grandson of the old village chief, say, "Uncle Chu, I'm ...... I...... And me! ”
The old village chief immediately blew his beard and glared angrily: "What are you, don't disturb your Uncle Chu's speech!" ”
Seeing this situation, the villagers immediately burst into laughter, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became quite relaxed.
Being interrupted by Lu Xiaole like this, the tension in Chu Chen's heart was also eliminated a lot, and he continued with a smile:
"Although I was not born in Lujia Village, I was raised in Lujia Village, and I grew up under the care of your elders. I have always seen the suffering of our village in my eyes, and I am anxious in my heart, and now that I have this ability, it is appropriate to contribute to our village's poverty alleviation and prosperity. ”
"I won't say much else, I hope that in our village, with our joint efforts in the future, every family can build a new house, eat meat every meal, and have spare money in hand every year, xiexie everyone!"
"Good!"
As soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, the old village chief led everyone and burst into warm applause, which lasted for a long time......
After thanking the villagers, Chu Chen walked into the house, and Lu Fu's whole family was busy preparing to salute. It is estimated that it is because his leg has been saved, and his family has 80,000 yuan, so he will no longer have to worry about the family's money for a period of time in the future, and Sister-in-law Lu's face is now smiling, and she is no longer as dead as yesterday.
"Chenwazi is here, I'll be here right away, have you had breakfast?" When Lu Fuquan saw Chu Chen coming, he immediately greeted happily.
Chu Chen smiled and said, "I've already eaten it, how does my sister-in-law feel today?" ”
Sister-in-law Lu said with some excitement: "Okay! Good! Chenwazi, Xiexie you, without you, I don't want to drag down Quanzi anymore. Speaking of the back, her eyes couldn't help but burst into tears.
Lu Fuquan said with concern in his complaining tone: "Child, don't say anything frustrating, and don't be afraid of Chenwazi's jokes." ”
Chu Chen also comforted: "Sister-in-law, don't be sad, when your leg is healed, the road in our village will be almost repaired at that time, and it will get better day by day in the future." ”
After hearing this, Lu Fuquan and Sister-in-law Lu nodded yes again and again, their faces full of expectations for their future lives. ……
After Lu Fu's family sorted out the salute, several villagers carried Sister-in-law Lu lying on a self-made stretcher, and under the eyes of all the villagers, the group set off in the direction of the school.
Today, the sky is beautiful, and there are only five ladders on the road, where there is a little accident, and everyone is considered to have carried Sister-in-law Lu to the school without danger.
When passing through the five ladders before, a villager's foot slipped a little, causing the stretcher to lose its balance, if it weren't for Chu Chen's first time for safety, he fixed Sister-in-law Lu on the stretcher with a rope, at this time, it is likely that this accident made Sister-in-law Lu fall down the mountain, although Zuihou was fine, but it still made everyone break out in a cold sweat.
It is precisely because of this that Chu Chen's idea of repairing the road quickly is even more urgent. These five ladders are too dangerous, if they continue like this, there will be lives here, for the safety of the villagers, he plans to let this road open to traffic as soon as possible with quality and quantity, even if it is worth spending a little more money.
Chu Chen and the others came to the school and accidentally found an ambulance parked in the school, which made Chu Chen a little confused, could it be that there was anyone sick in the school? Or is it a special waiting for them, it can't be such a coincidence, right?
Just as they were puzzled, the old principal and a man about thirty years old came to Chu Chen and them together.
"Chen Wazi, I estimated that you should be there soon, let me introduce you, this Guan Dagui also walked out of our school back then, and now works as a driver in the city's hospital, and this ambulance is driven by him."
"Hello brother, this time I really trouble you, if there is any expense then, you can just ask." After listening to the old principal's words, Chu Chen suddenly realized, and immediately greeted Guan Dagui warmly
Guan Dagui smiled honestly and said: "They are all students of the old principal, don't be so polite, and I heard the old principal say that you have helped the school a lot, don't talk about it if you don't have money." ”
Chu Chen waved his hand again and again, and said, "Brother Gui, you can't shirk this matter, this trip is not close, and you can't make it hard and pay for nothing." ”
The old principal also persuaded him: "Okay, Dagui, you listen to Chenwazi about this, after all, you are now working for someone else, and we are very grateful that you can come over." ”
Chu Chen also agreed with the old principal's words, if they temporarily hailed a taxi from the hospital, it didn't matter, there were very few cars nearby that would send them to the capital, even if they could be delivered, the price was expensive, and it would take a certain amount of time for the ambulance to come from the hospital temporarily.
Originally, Chu Chen was still worried about this matter, and he was ready to spend the night at school, but he didn't expect the old principal to help him arrange it, which made him feel warm and coaxing.
Seeing Guan Dagui nodding in agreement, the old principal continued: "Then let's go to dinner, you should leave early after eating......"
After the meal, Chu Chen and the old principal explained the trivial matters such as free lunch and road repair, etc., and then drove to the capital, but they didn't expect it to be a coincidence, when they just set off on the front foot, the truck loaded with the clothes and shoes ordered by Chu Chen, the back foot arrived......
There was nothing to do all the way, and at about eight o'clock in the evening, Chu Chen and the others arrived in the capital smoothly.
"Xiaolan, what did the hospital say?" Chu Chen asked.
Chu Yulan hurriedly said: "Uncle should have already helped to handle it, brother, you can rest assured." ”
"Oh, you didn't tell him about me before, did you?"
Chu Yulan hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, no, I didn't say it." ”
Hearing this answer, Chu Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, he was not ready to meet Zhao Qirui as a relative.
"Xiaolan, this ...... When you get back, you can tell them about me, but it's best not to let them come to see me for a while, and wait for a while, okay? ”
Chu Yulan was silent for a while, and said with some embarrassment: "Brother, I can only tell them what you say, but Mom, she ......" At this point, she stopped talking.
Chu Chen understood what Chu Yulan meant, knew her dilemma, and was silent for a while before saying, "Xiaolan, you can just tell them what I mean then, as for the result, it has nothing to do with you." ”
When Chu Yulan heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and said with some hesitation: "Brother...... Mom and Dad have really never given up looking for you for so many years, and they miss you very much, you ...... Can you meet them sooner? ”
Chu Yulan's words made the car box silent for a while, and when Chu Yulan thought that her words would make Chu Chen embarrassed, Chu Chen said: "Let's talk about this matter then." ”
After speaking, Chu Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, he still couldn't accept them for the time being!
After listening to the old principal's words yesterday, Chu Chen also realized that no matter how deep his resentment was, he couldn't change the reality that they were his parents. Can my current resentment have any positive effect other than hurting me and making them more painful?
And just like the old headmaster said, as a punishment back then, they have suffered enough in their hearts over the years, and how cruel it is to sprinkle salt on their wounds. After all, in the final analysis, he was not abandoned by them on his own initiative.
Yesterday, after Chu Chen went home, he looked at his father's photo, remembered the happy times he had with him before, and also remembered what his father said to him a month before he died.
"Achen, I know that you still have a grudge against your parents, but you must know that the current situation is not their intention. The greatest pain in life is actually the torture of the soul, which does not come from the outside world, but from oneself. ”
"Children are the hearts and minds of their parents, they have a heart to give birth to you and raise you, they lost you because of negligence, and the pain and suffering in their hearts can be imagined. Achen, listen to me, no one wants to lose their dearest person, if you find your biological parents in the future, don't resent them......"
When my father said these serious words, he was regarded as the wind in his ears because he was in the period of youth rebellion. When I came home this time, I remembered my father's words, and when my father died, my heart ached like a knife, and coupled with my own experience of stepping into society, I knew that what my father said was indeed true.
All this made Chu Chen's resentment towards his parents somewhat dissipate in his heart. But despite this, his biological parents are still quite strange to him, he doesn't know how to face them, he doesn't know how to get along with them, and he doesn't know how to accept them in his heart......
