Chapter 40: Time Changes
"Dumb!"
Half a corridor away, Cheng Hai called Dumb.
The latter turned around and looked at Cheng Hai for a long time, ......"Mmmmmmmm Mute? ”
"Well, I'm back." Cheng Hai suddenly smiled.
How did the name mute come about?
He was sent to an orphanage after the shipwreck, and because of his psychological shadows, he had a speech barrier until he was four years old, so some naughty children called him mute.
Later, after he was able to speak, he had a new nickname, but perhaps because he couldn't remember, Dumb kept calling him mute.
And after hearing Dumb's name for Cheng Hai, Aunt Chen was even more trembling. She never thought that the mentally handicapped who said this thing was not good for Suo, and actually knew a big man who could donate a million at will!
So she took the initiative to talk: "Ah, Mr. Cheng turned out to be a friend of Dumb, so it's all a misunderstanding......"
"Misunderstanding?"
Cheng Hai frowned, looked at Dumb and said, "Dumb, you tell me, does she often beat you in normal times?" ”
Aunt Chen's eyes widened, and she wanted to warn with her eyes, but when she met Cheng Hai's fierce gaze, her breath couldn't help but stagnate. If the things that usually take Dumb to vent her anger are known, she will really be done.
"Ahh......h No, no. ”
I don't know if it was taken by her Yu Wei or something else, Dumb just shook his head and denied it, which made Aunt Chen breathe a sigh of relief.
"None? It's good if you don't have it ”
Cheng Hai glanced at Aunt Chen and did not continue to ask.
Dumb's mind is relatively simple, he won't cry when he scolds, and if he wants to know the answer, he will naturally know the answer when he asks Liu Fangshi.
Just then, the sound of a car's engine was heard outside the door, and a small truck stopped outside the compound.
"Who's there? Come out and do you a favor? Dumb? ”
A young voice came from outside, and when Dumb heard it, his eyes were suddenly full of light.
"It's Brother Alert, Brother Clever is back!"
With that, he ran out in a hurry.
Glancing at the apprehensive administrator Aunt Chen, Cheng Hai also followed.
Outside the gate of the reception desk, a man is standing on a truck, carrying a sapling. A security guard was helping out under the car, and Dumb was beside him.
Although Liu Fangshi's nickname is Little Clever Spirit, in fact, he is six years older than Cheng Hai.
The children who are sent here are special events, and naturally they will not be enrolled in school every year like they are enrolled. At its peak, the orphanage adopted more than 40 children.
Occasionally, parents who are unable to have offspring come in for adoption, and that number may drop a bit.
"Fang Shi."
Cheng Hai stepped forward and called out his name.
"You are?"
The latter raised his head, a little puzzled in his eyes.
Cheng Hai was only a teenager when he left the orphanage, and his appearance was not yet finalized, so of course he can't recognize it now.
"Dumb Cheng Hai."
"Cheng Hai!"
Hearing Cheng Hai's self-introduction, Liu Fangshi's eyes lit up, and he immediately jumped out of the car and hugged Cheng Hai suddenly.
"You kid, this is the ...... Alas, that's good! ”
I don't know what to say, Liu Fangshi is a little incoherent.
After all, Cheng Hai was only so young when he left the orphanage, and there was no news after that, which made it difficult not to think about the bad side.
Cheng Hai was also very happy, raised his chin, and looked at the back seat of the truck: "What are you doing now?" Enhancing greenery? ”
"Oh, the kids in the yard don't have much energy, they don't even like to play ball, they know to watch TV all day long. Prepare for each of them to plant a tree and cultivate their sentiments. Liu Fangshi said with a smile.
"Sentiment hahaha......" Cheng Hai also smiled.
It's good to plant trees, at least there is a task to calm down some hyperactive children, and it is relatively easy to raise. It's not like raising small animals, which accidentally kill them, but it will have the opposite effect.
He turned over and got into the car, picked up a few saplings and said, "I'll help you." ”
"Aunt Chen, I didn't have time to drive just now, what are you looking for me?"
Liu Fangshi turned his head to look at Aunt Chen, who waved his hand nervously and quickly explained, "I am here to inform you of this." ”
"Oh."
Not realizing that Aunt Chen's expression was wrong, Liu Fangshi joined the carrying team and moved the saplings into the house. Lunch was coming soon, so he planned to save the tree planting for the afternoon.
After about half an hour, several people finished their work, and Cheng Hai was able to sit down and chat with him.
"After all these years, where have you been?"
patted Cheng Hai on the shoulder, Liu Fangshi took a pack of cigarettes from his arms: "Do you smoke?" ”
"Quit it."
Cheng Hai waved his hand, supported the ground with both hands, and said abruptly: "Wandering outside, and then working, little by little until now." ”
"Having trouble?"
Liu Fangshi frowned, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he inadvertently showed a little disgust.
"No, no, no."
Cheng Hai hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "I have lived here for nearly ten years, and now that my career has improved a little, I have to do something." I came this time to donate money to the hospital. It can go directly to you without going through any organizational hands. ”
"Oooh......"
Liu Fangshi breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "I have a heart." ”
"What? Someone heard that you have made a fortune and often come to you to borrow money? Cheng Hai could see his concern at a glance.
An old friend who hasn't seen you for many years suddenly contacts you, either married or borrowed money and doesn't pay it back.
It's true.
"Don't mention it......"
Liu Fangshi took a puff of cigarette, shook his head, and said, "Orphans like us who have no one to adopt, and no money to go to college, how many good ones can there be?" ”
"Hmmm......"
Cheng Haishen thought so.
They are not bad, but defective laborers like Dumb can only do simple jobs as cleaners or assembly lines, and it is too difficult to earn more.
"Liu Shengqi, do you remember? Small preserved eggs. ”
"Oh, preserved eggs. I heard that he soaked in a rich woman, isn't he a good mix? Cheng Hai heard that something was wrong in his words.
"There is such a thing, but the guy is too lazy, and the rich woman dumped him after finding a new love. When he found me, he borrowed tens of thousands of dollars from a loan shark, and I borrowed 20,000 yuan from him at first, but he intensified and came every day. In the end, I couldn't help it and asked the security guards to chase him away......"
"He deserves it, he was raised so big in the hospital, I don't know how to cherish it, who is to blame." Cheng Hai also said indignantly: "If that kid dares to come over today, I have to kick his ass!" ”
Of course, if he can actually come.
In the distance, the figure of the administrator Aunt Chen walked into a building, which made Cheng Hai also think of her and asked, "Are you almost unable to hold the conditions here?" ”
Although the orphanage has a side subsidy, and Liu Fangshi also has a small asset, it has been in operation for so long, and the expenses are also very large.
"It's okay, at least it won't leave those little butts hungry."
Speaking of the children in the hospital, Liu Fangshi smiled, just like the dean back then.
"Let's go out less in the future, and don't be too tired. I donated 1 million this time, there is no middleman to swallow the money, those employees who often take care of children will be opened, and the wages of the workers here will be appropriately raised, and some responsible people will be recruited to come in. ”
"A million?"
Liu Fangshi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that something was wrong: "Some employees are angry with children?" ”
"You don't be here often?" Cheng Hai frowned.
There are guests who dare to do it, and the administrator's behavior is estimated to have become a habit, and Liu Fangshi shouldn't know it.
"Yes...... Perhaps, when you have business, you have to go out often, and leave it to the deputy to help take care of it. Liu Fangshi frowned.
"Dumb, come here."
Calling out from afar, Cheng Hai lifted his trouser leg and the position of his lower waist, and there were obviously a few bruises on it!
