The sky was dark, the clouds were moving, and the breath of rain was surging between heaven and earth. Shi Jiaojiao's steps became more and more hurried, she thought that this must be a torrential rain, and it was best to rush to the deserted bus stop near the old people's home before the rain fell, so as not to get wet. Fortunately, although the sky was loud, it was very patient, and it was not until Shi Jiaojiao came to the edge of the grove where she was waiting in the morning that a few drops of rain fell sporadically.

It seems that the deceased really blessed Shi Jiaojiao, and as soon as she ran to the dilapidated station to stand firm, the rain immediately became heavier. Droplets of water the size of beans crackled on the tiles, smashing against the dry earth, bounced up a fine cloud of dust. Shi Jiaojiao understands that summer showers come and go quickly. She craned her neck and hugged her bag, dusted her hair, looked at the gray sky and exhaled, and said to herself, "I hope that when the rain stops, I can catch the last bus to town." "Stay overnight in the town and go back to-morrow.

The dense rain soaked the world in a short time, and everything became moist, and there was only the pure sound of falling rain around them. Shi Jiaojiao took out her mobile phone, desperately found that she didn't know when it had been automatically turned off, and at the same time reflected on her awkward habit of not liking to use the power bank 10,000 times, "Go back and buy ......it immediately" is self-reviewing, the sound of rain in her ears suddenly changed, playing a full and jumping rhythm, it is the sound of falling on the tight canvas of the umbrella.

Shi Jiaojiao followed the sound and saw that a black umbrella was half-covering a person, and the person who came was holding another old umbrella in his other hand. "Dean?" Shi Jiaojiao screamed in surprise and suspicion, and the slightly chubby woman immediately turned around half a circle, left the umbrella outside the eaves, squeezed to Shi Jiaojiao's side, and said, "Why don't you say a word when you come, I'll pick you up and take you to the courtyard." Saying that, she stuffed the old umbrella into Shi Jiaojiao's hand, Shi Jiaojiao took the umbrella and did not raise her feet, and asked hesitantly: "Mr. Zhang called you here?" ”

The dean shook the water from his hand and said, "He said you came, I don't believe it." Shi Jiaojiao bit her lower lip, "Then, is he still in the courtyard?" The woman shook her head, "After sending the old man back, he will leave immediately." Shi Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, pressed and held the button to open the umbrella and said, "If there is no car today, I guess I will have to stay in the yard for the night, is it okay?" "Why not?" The dean and Shi Jiaojiao walked out of the pavilion waiting for the car side by side, and said, "The first night, don't be afraid at night." "Don't be afraid."

Leaving the main road, first take a downhill stone road and go uphill to the open space in front of the old people's home, a temporary flow of water under the loquat tree, quickly flowing to the low place, there are two or three apples and pears growing in the low place, the fruit is still small, and it is swayed by the heavy rain. It was still a few steps to the corridor of the hall, but the rain was so heavy that they couldn't even parry an umbrella, so the two of them stood at the guard booth at the door.

Shi Jiaojiao stomped on her soaked pumps and asked casually, "Don't you believe that I'm here, why did you come out to pick me up again?" The dean replied, "Mr. Zhang is not a person who can laugh, let alone today." Isn't it raining, I see that the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and I feel uneasy. If you do sneak here, there is no place to hide from the rain on this side of the cemetery! If you think so, I will take an umbrella to meet you. As soon as I went out, I saw a silly girl standing in the broken pavilion from a distance! Shi Jiaojiao smiled dryly.

The dean craned his neck toward the station, "It's leaking rain now, do you believe it or not?" Shi Jiaojiao's eyes moved, and Mu Ne said, "I believe it, thank you, Dean." The old woman still held the umbrella, sighed with a long sigh on her chest, and said, "You said that it was impossible to come, but I don't believe it." I'm surprised that you're here and that you stole it so silently. I guess you must be avoiding Mr. Zhang like this, I really don't understand, how big of a festival do you have, and you can't take a picture? ”

A drop of rain splashed on Shi Jiaojiao's lips, she licked it, it was slightly cool and tasteless, squinted her eyes and said, "I don't understand it if I think about it carefully." "Hey." The woman shook her head, "Old lady Zhang can see everything, and he feels sorry for you." Shi Jiaojiao didn't want to be entangled in this, she was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Grandpa Zhang has passed away, what will happen to this old people's home in the future, have you asked Mr. Zhang?" ”

The dean turned his head to look at Shi Jiaojiao, she understood what she meant: the old man is gone, the old people's home has nothing to do with Zhang Kun, and he has no obligation to provide funding like that.

Shi Jiaojiao was flustered, lowered her head and explained in a low voice, "I'm a little abrupt like this. I mean, although I personally don't have the ability of Mr. Zhang, if you and your grandparents need help, I will definitely do my best to find a way. The dean looked at Shi Jiaojiao at this moment with eyes stained with moisture, looking particularly emotional, she couldn't help but reach out and touch Shi Jiaojiao's pale cheeks, and whispered: "Miss Shi, Jiaojiao!" You are a good person with kindness in your bones. ”

No one could listen to the praise at the moment, Shi Jiaojiao shook her head, waved her hand and said: "I mean seriously, the grandparents in the yard are all old, so they rely on you to run it alone, if there is a difficulty, I won't say that I will be able to solve it, but there is always one more person to share with you." The old woman nodded slowly, looked at the loquat tree in the rain outside the door, and said, "I know what you mean, don't worry, Mr. Zhang didn't let us go, he has an arrangement, and he has already told me." Shi Jiaojiao's eyes lit up when she heard this, but after thinking about it, she just nodded and said calmly: "That's fine." ”

The dean saw that Shi Jiaojiao was not spying, and she didn't plan to hide Zhang Kun's arrangement, not to mention that she still had doubts to discuss, so she took the initiative to say: "He talked to me alone when he left today, saying that as long as he is there for a day, the courtyard will be no different from when Old Man Zhang was alive." "Oh......" Shi Jiaojiao nodded reassuringly, but the dean's expression was not relaxed, and then said: "He said this to reassure, but I don't understand what he did later."

Shi Jiaojiao looked at the dean suspiciously, and the dean pursed his lips and said, "He gave me a card, saying that it was for emergency use." 500,000! Why should I ask for 500,000 in a hurry? The upright woman spread her hands, "Six or seven old people in the courtyard, including my three nurses, are enough." This is my home, and I don't get paid. Mr. Zhang had just paid me two years in advance for the Chinese New Year, so I could pay them slowly. This year's daily pocket money was also given! If, as he says, everything is as it is, what is he going to do to give me this large sum of money? ”

Shi Jiaojiao didn't feel abnormal, she only admired the kindness and generosity that the man never revealed, and guessed: "Could it be because grandpa is gone, he himself comes less often, and you are afraid that you won't be able to find him for a while, so you do this?" The dean could not agree, saying, "More than that!" He also told me that he had already asked someone to greet the county's nursing home, and if our home didn't work one day, they would guarantee to accept the elderly at any time. The stamped receipt paperwork is in my office drawer! ”

"This ......" Shi Jiaojiao's brows couldn't help frowning, "The formal documents have to go through the process, so he has already prepared." The dean spread his hands, "That's what it means!" Shi Jiaojiao bit her lower lip, her face was red and white, her eyelids blinked quickly unconsciously, and she snorted: "Impossible, he is by no means the kind of person who is vain and wrong......"

Seeing that the woman misunderstood, the old woman hurriedly said, "I'm not suggesting that Mr. Zhang wants to deceive us and send us away. Rather," the dean took Shi Jiaojiao's hand, and his voice was heavy, "I feel that he has something, and once this thing is done, he will not come back." "Ahh Shi Jiaojiao cried out.
