Chapter Seventy-Five: The Past of "Childhood" (1)
After Gu Cheng finished speaking, he left without looking back, and the moment he opened the door, he stopped again, kept the action of opening the door and said:
“...... The surveillance near the hospital must have photographed your car today, just in case, you better deal with it! After all...... I'm all but her now...... You're the only one left! ”
Du Haochu looked at the empty door, remorse gradually came up, walked quickly to the window, looked at the back of Gu Cheng leaving, and unconsciously whispered:
“..... Elder brother! ”
Because this neighborhood is relatively remote, there is no car, Gu Cheng walked alone on the road, thinking about the previous everything, the mobile phone rang, when he took out the mobile phone, he saw that the caller ID on it was Qu Han,
The unhappiness with Du Haochu just now also disappeared the moment he answered the phone.
"Hello?"
Qu Han heard the silence on the other side of the phone, so he asked, "...... Have you arrived? ”
Gu Cheng looked around, it was empty, so he stopped, sat on the side of the road, covered his hand next to the mobile phone microphone and said:
"Hmmm! It's here! ...... You didn't sleep? ”
"Hmm...... I messaged you on WeChat and you didn't reply! ”
Gu Cheng glanced at his phone, pulled down the notification bar and took a look, only to see that there were more than a dozen unread messages.
“...... Ah~ Sorry, I just ...... I was in the bath, and I didn't see it! ”
Hearing him say take a bath, I thought of his wound today, and asked nervously, "You didn't get the wound watered, did you?" ”
Gu Cheng looked at the bandages on his hands, smiled knowingly, and said:
“...... No, don't worry! ”
"That's good! You rest! Good night! ”
"Good night!"
After hanging up the phone, Gu Cheng simply sat on the side of the road, looking at the street where there was no one around, the memories of his childhood instantly came to his heart, and he remembered that at that time, after finally escaping, he and Gu Sheng were sitting on the street as they are now......
......
Gu Feng, who was lying on the bed sleeping, felt that someone was shaking his hand, slowly opened his eyes, and then saw his younger brother Gu Sheng standing on the side of the bed, looking at himself with his eyes open, his hand still on his little stomach, and whispered:
"Brother, I'm hungry!"
Gu Feng got up, moved back, gave him a little place on the already small bed, and motioned for him to sit up, Gu Sheng, who was already small, slowly climbed onto the bed about the same height as him, Gu Feng directly covered him with a quilt, and said:
"Be good~ bear with me, it will be dawn in a while!"
Gu Sheng nodded obediently, he directly let the pillow out and said:
"Sleep! Don't be hungry when you fall asleep! ”
In the big room, dozens of children lived densely, and the brothers in the corner whispered:
"Brother! When are we going to get out of here? ”
Gu Feng pulled the quilt on his body to his younger brother and said, "Don't worry, my brother will definitely take you out of this ghost place!" ”
In this way, the brothers fell asleep to the sound of their stomachs growling.
The next morning, the children were woken up by the sound of a gong, but they had long been accustomed to this wake-up bell, which was also their favorite sound, because when this sound sounded, it meant that the meal was opened!
Gu Sheng opened his eyes the moment he heard the voice, didn't get up at all, and said to his brother next to him:
"Brother! Time to eat! ”
Although the children here are not very old, but they are very young, they are all lined up in an orderly manner, six-year-old Gu Feng and four-year-old Gu Sheng lined up at the end of the line, the two of them each took a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun, and walked directly to the bench next to them, the children all carefully ate the steamed buns in their hands, as if they could eat more if they ate a little slower.
But there is a child who is different from them, the moment he got the steamed bun, he stuffed it into his mouth, and after eating it in a few bites, he said to Gu Feng next to him:
"Brother~ I'm still hungry!"
Gu Sheng and Gu Feng have not been here for a long time, it has only been two months, and the fire set by their mother two months ago not only took away their father, who often abused them, but also took them away, and then they were sent to this black-hearted orphanage.
Most of the children here have lived here for as long as they can remember, and they have slowly become accustomed to the way of life here, and they don't even know everything here, how unfair it is!
As for the brothers who have lived outside since childhood, the conditions here are obviously not even comparable to the families who used to live in difficulty, so since he arrived here, Gu Feng has heard the most words every day, that is, Gu Sheng told him that he was hungry.
Gu Feng handed over his steamed buns to his younger brother," ...... Eat this too! ”
Then he drank the porridge silently.
......
Upstairs, in the dean's office, where the children were watching breakfast, there was leftover breakfast on the table, and these leftover breakfasts contained pies that had only been bitten down.
As soon as the dean lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth, the vice dean walked into the office.
A little anxious in his voice, he said:
"Dean! Xiao Li, who just worked in the government, called me and told me that we seemed to have been reported! ”
When the dean heard that he was reported, he was not in a hurry, flicked the cigarette ash, spit out a burst of smoke in his mouth, and asked calmly:
"Reported? Who reported it this time? ”
Seeing that the dean had just flicked the cigarette ash directly on the leftover meal, he took the ashtray on the coffee table in front of him with interest, put it in front of him and said:
"I don't know, I said that this time it was reported anonymously! He doesn't know who it is! His authority is not visible either! ”
The dean looked at the group of children downstairs who were eating, pressed the half-smoked cigarette in his hand into the ashtray, and said:
"It's really nothing to look for, we are poor and remote, who can know what we are like! also reported anonymously, it must have been reported by our own people! ”
"Our own people?"
The dean opened the drawer, took out a clip from it, took out the personnel file inside, looked at it, took out a few, threw it in front of him, and said:
"These few! These guys were just transferred in a few days ago, so you go investigate and see who is possible! ”
"Oh!"
The vice president took it and looked at it, they were all young people who had just arrived, and walked out after speaking.
"Come back!"
The dean called him back and said, "Investigate secretly, don't startle the snake first!" ”
"Okay! Anything else to explain? ”
The dean thought for a while and said, "Let the people below replace the things used by these little children with new ones, and make the food better recently.
You give me a snack, so many subsidies every year, if you mess up, we won't get a penny! ”
The vice president said proudly: "Don't worry! Dean! It's not the first time, it's definitely foolproof! ”
The dean made a look, and he went out, and after the dean went out, the dean lit another cigarette and said:
"If you let me know who reported it, see if I don't pick your skin! ...... I really don't want to get mixed up! ”
......
Because there is a report, the people in the hospital have become very cautious, and they don't know when the above will come down to check, so they have to be ready at all times, so after getting the news, the whole hospital has a new look.
The things in the warehouse that were specially used to cope with the inspection were also moved out, and the children were also changed into clean sheets and clothes.
By noon, the children ran into the cafeteria expectantly, Gu Sheng and Gu Feng didn't know what was going on, they also ran along, and as soon as they arrived at the door of the canteen, Gu Sheng asked:
"Brother! What are you going to eat today? It smells so good! ”
Gu Feng instantly became alert, his younger brother couldn't remember or understand when he was young, but he remembered it clearly, the night his mother set the fire, she also made a table full of delicious food, and when she first came home that day, it was also fragrant.
After eating, he gave himself two cents, and said that he would take his younger brother to the village store to buy food, and he took his younger brother there, and on the way back, he saw a raging fire in the direction of his house, and that meal was also the last meal he had with his mother.
Gu Feng felt that it was abnormal no matter how he thought about it, so he took his younger brother's hand defensively, and then walked into the cafeteria together, and when he entered, he saw the vice president standing in front of the dining table, and the children were all consciously lined up! His eyes were still on the food on the table.
The vice president coughed twice and said:
"Come~Listen to me~~, it's almost Children's Day recently! Uncle Dean specially paid out of his own pocket to let the canteen make delicious food for you! What are you going to say? ”
The children are still children after all, their eyes are attracted by the food on the table, and they say casually: "...... Thank you. ”
What the vice president wanted was this effect, and the child could be sent away with a delicious meal, so he said loudly:
"Be louder! Again! ”
The children's thoughts were all called back, and then they said in unison:
"Xie ~ Xie ~ Yuan ~ Chang ~ Bo ~ Bo ~"
The vice dean nodded with satisfaction and asked with a wicked smile:
"Before eating, I have one more thing to say, maybe strange uncles and aunts will come to our orphanage in the next few days, this is the time for us to be unanimous with the outside world, what are we?"
"One~Home~People~"
"That's right! We are a family that loves each other, how do we do in front of outsiders? ”
The children didn't know how to answer for a while, so the vice president took out a chicken leg from the plate behind him, shook it in front of them, and said:
"The best kid who answered, this chicken leg was added to him!"
