Chapter Seventy-Four: The Mystery of Life (1)
Recently, Peng Liyao has been a little panicked, I don't know if the organization has settled down, since the last commission, Peng Liyao has not received a new commission for almost half a month, although a little helpless, but it is also a good time to rest.
"When are you going to go back and rest?" Song Zhenqiang asked Peng Liyao, Peng Liyao's work and rest have been with the old cadres recently, and he is very regular every day, which surprised him a little.
"Four o'clock." Peng Liyao said, there is nothing to do recently, so I can go back early, and I plan to go to the orphanage tomorrow.
Song Zhenqiang nodded to indicate that he knew, "Do you have any arrangements for tomorrow?" After that, I didn't even know that your office had a day off. "I've never seen Peng Liyao rest before.
"Yes, it's just because there were more things before, and if there were few, I would rest." Peng Liyao said that he still has a very good schedule for the firm.
The next day, Song Zhenqiang, who knew that Peng Liyao was going to the orphanage, decided to go with Peng Liyao, "I'll move to you tomorrow." Song Zhenqiang said, so that he can also protect Peng Liyao's safety, although the person was caught before, but he kept emphasizing that he did not hurt Peng Liyao, so Peng Liyao is still not safe.
"Why?" Peng Liyao looked at Song Zhenqiang suspiciously, I don't know how he thought of moving here, could it be that there is something wrong with the place where he lives?
"I'm out there, and the landlord wants me to move out, so I can only come to you." Song Zhenqiang shrugged helplessly, in fact, his house had come down early, and there was no landlord at all, he was just looking for an excuse to move over.
Peng Liyao nodded and said that he knew, since he said so, then he couldn't ignore it, and there were still empty rooms here, so it was okay to let him live here.
The scorching sun hangs high in the sky of the world. The red light shot up like a rocket to the ground, and the ground caught fire, reflecting the boiling flames like oil. Transpiration, suffocation, fierceness, and stuffiness make people's cells and fibers burst from trembling.
Not a drop of rain had fallen for two weeks, and a light milky mist filled the air, enveloping the trees in the distance, and from there, the smell of burning sounded like a fire. Many gray, hazy clouds, floating leisurely in the blue sky, crawled slowly, and the strong dry wind continued to blow, but could not drive away the summer heat.
Although I walked into the car as soon as I got out of the building, I still felt very hot because the car had just turned on the air conditioner, "My God, why hasn't it rained for so long, and it will rain in the summer?" Song Zhenqiang complained while fanning himself.
"It should rain in a few days." Peng Liyao wiped the thin sweat from his forehead and said, fortunately, since he accepted all the emotions, he didn't feel the temperature so obviously, otherwise, he estimated that he was about the same as Song Zhenqiang.
When the air conditioner completely filled the car, Song Zhenqiang sighed comfortably, "Sure enough, the life of summer is given by the air conditioner, and it's too hot outside." "The water I brought with me was a little hot.
"You have to thank the inventor of the air conditioner, otherwise you will definitely die of heat." Peng Liyao said as he drove towards the orphanage.
Because today is Wednesday, plus it is work time, there are no cars on the road, which is indeed a good thing for Peng Liyao and Song Zhenqiang.
"By the way, you ran out like this today, is the studio okay?" Peng Liyao asked Song Zhenqiang suspiciously, I don't know if Lin Liexiao will be exhausted by him if he is so absent from work.
"It's okay, what is the work, Lin Liexiao, he will solve it, besides, I haven't been to the orphanage for a long time, and I should go back to take a look." Song Zhenqiang said with a smile, Peng Liyao went to the supermarket on the way home last night and bought a lot of things, and went out to buy some fruits or something this morning.
Hearing Song Zhenqiang's words, Peng Liyao felt sad for Lin Liexiao in his heart, having such a willful boss was enough for him, but I don't know how the dean's grandfather and grandmother would react after seeing him, whether they would be frightened by him, after all, they haven't been back since he left.
Compared with Peng Liyao's worries, Song Zhenqiang seemed a lot more relaxed, he had found someone to check the orphanage before, although he hadn't been to it for a long time, but the information was enough to know everything about the orphanage, and this time he went to deepen his understanding at best.
"Jingle bells."
Peng Liyao's mobile phone rang, and Song Zhenqiang glanced at his mobile phone, "Grandpa? I remember you didn't have a grandfather. ”
"It's Grandpa Dean, you can help me press the release." Peng Liyao said to Song Zhenqiang that he really doesn't have a grandfather, but it is enough to have a dean's grandfather and grandmother.
"Xiao Peng, where are you now?" The voice of the dean's grandfather reached the ears of Peng Liyao and Song Zhenqiang through the phone.
"We're on the road, and it's probably still ten minutes away." Peng Liyao's face showed a smile, Song Zhenqiang felt a little surprised when he saw it, after all, Song Zhenqiang had never seen such a song before, when would Peng Liyao laugh because of a phone call?
"Okay, you can have lunch here, by the way, your grandmother asked me to ask you what you want to eat, and she will cook it for you." The dean's grandfather said, grandma is really, I don't know if Peng Liyao is on the road now, what if something happens because of a distraction from driving.
Peng Liyao laughed when he heard the words of the dean's grandfather, and then said, "It's just what grandma usually does." ”
"That's all? Are you sure you don't want to eat anything else? "It's not that the dean's grandfather doesn't know Peng Liyao's temper, he has always had nothing to love, and grandma knows this, but she still asked herself to call him to ask.
Peng Liyao's helplessness when he heard the dean's grandfather's words deepened a lot, "No need, by the way, grandpa, I came here with Song Zhenqiang, and he is next to me now." ”
Hearing that Song Zhenqiang was also there, the dean's grandfather was a little surprised, but he still said immediately, "Xiaoqiang, I haven't seen you for a long time, and we can have a good chat when the time comes." ”
"Okay, grandpa, I want to talk to you too." Song Zhenqiang also laughed, it was indeed a long time, and he had never been back since he left.
"Then I'll talk about it when you get there, don't disturb Xiao Peng's driving, be careful on the road." The dean's grandfather said that he couldn't make a phone call while driving, otherwise something might happen, so it was better to hang up the phone early, and then he had to tell his grandmother that Song Zhenqiang was coming.
"I see, Grandpa." Peng Liyao responded with a smile and asked Song Zhenqiang to help him hang up the phone, after knowing that Song Zhenqiang went over with him, his tone was not very good, it seems that there is something he doesn't know, and he will find a chance to ask when the time comes.
"Grandpa's voice still sounds so hard." Song Zhenqiang smiled and looked out the car window and said, his voice was not much different from what he heard when he was a child.
Peng Liyao was a little surprised, "I was only three years old when you left, how could you still remember?" "Does he really remember what happened at that time?
Song Zhenqiang laughed when he heard Peng Liyao's words, then turned his head to look at Peng Liyao and said, "Hehe, you may not believe it, that time was the only time when I was relaxed, and there were too many things to press after that, and I was too tired." ”
"Probably, everyone who came out of the orphanage was tired, after all, we didn't have any way back." Although Peng Liyao didn't know what he was referring to, in fact, everyone had a lot of responsibilities to bear.
"yes." Song Zhenqiang nodded and did not continue this topic, maybe for him, some things would be better buried in his heart.
From Peng Liyao's place to the orphanage, you have to cross a bridge, and the trucks on the bridge rumble past, the ground trembles, and the soles of people's feet are numb.
When I finally arrived at the orphanage, it was close to ten o'clock, Song Zhenqiang followed behind Peng Liyao with something, because the injury on Peng Liyao's arm was not completely healed, so Song Zhenqiang was not willing to let Peng Liyao take heavy things, in fact, it was originally Song Zhenqiang who drove today, but Peng Liyao was worried that he would forget how to walk the road, so he would drive by himself.
Walking into the gate of the orphanage, the children immediately surrounded him, and Song Zhenqiang handed the things to the older children, "Let's go, I'll take you to see your grandparents." Peng Liyao said while motioning for Song Zhenqiang to go with him, and asked the children to wait, he would definitely play with them later.
When I came to the office, the dean's grandfather was preparing something, and when he saw Peng Liyao coming, he immediately put down the things in his hand with a smile and walked over, "Xiao Peng, but it's true that I'm a little fatter than last time, so your grandma doesn't have to nag in my ear." ”
"How can my grandmother read me every day, so I don't believe it." Peng Liyao said with a smile as he introduced Song Zhenqiang beside him to his grandfather.
"You are Xiaoqiang, you are much whiter than when you were a child, but you still look soft and weak, where have you been all these years? How are you doing outside? "Grandpa Dean patted Song Zhenqiang on the back, he was fine, this is the best thing.
Song Zhenqiang looked at his grandfather with a smile, "I accidentally ran out, and then I met my adoptive parents, but my adoptive parents passed away a few years ago, and now I have opened a studio by myself, which is doing computers." ”
"That's good, that's good, come on, I'll take you to Grandma, she is probably still busy in the kitchen." Grandpa Dean said to Peng Liyao and them with a smile, while leading them outside.
Along the way, the dean's grandfather chattered with Peng Liyao and Song Zhenqiang about the recent changes in the orphanage, "Last time, Xiaosa found a stray cat and brought it back, and now he is also a member of the orphanage, don't you say, this little guy is really amazing, the rats in the orphanage that your grandmother has been having a headache before have all been solved by him, and now your grandmother buys him a few fish to eat from time to time." ”
"That's good, so grandma doesn't have to work so hard every day, I remember that in the past, for the sake of mice, our group of children went to catch them together, but we didn't catch any of them." Peng Liyao couldn't help but laugh when he remembered what happened when he was a child.
Grandpa smiled and nodded when he heard it, "Yes, you are all afraid of mice, and you have to catch mice, but the mice are not caught, and they all become little dirty cats." ”
"Meow, meow~" A black, white and yellow cat walked to Peng Liyao's side, rubbing his trouser leg affectionately, Peng Liyao smiled and squatted down silently his head.
"It seems that he likes you a lot, you have been like this since you were a child, and you have a good animal relationship, by the way, since you live alone, you also raise an animal, so it's good for yourself, isn't it?" Grandpa Dean looked at Peng Liyao with a smile, this is only good for him, isn't it?
Peng Liyao felt good when he heard it, "Let's talk about it then, fate will be there when it arrives, don't worry." ”
"You're not in a hurry, last time Auchan came over, and he brought his wife, saying that he was sending us an invitation, you look at the people, the younger ones are all married, and you are still single." The dean's grandfather shook his head helplessly and said, Peng Liyao is good at everything, but he doesn't want to communicate with people more. ”
Peng Liyao heard the words of the dean's grandfather, and was a little helpless, "Grandpa, you know that my attention is not on this matter now. ”
"Hey, I understand, there are some things you should let go, don't keep holding on, just pass the past." The dean's grandfather said, looking at Peng Liyao helplessly, he knew that Peng Liyao was now investigating the cause of his parents' deaths, but since this matter could be suppressed, it showed that there were many people involved behind this matter.
Grandpa Dean saw Song Zhenqiang standing next to him, and then remembered that there were other people here, and judging from his reaction, Peng Liyao didn't tell him about it, so he naturally didn't talk much, "Xiaoqiang, why did you go out by yourself in the first place." ”
"Well, isn't it curious, I saw something interesting outside, and I walked out." Song Zhenqiang said helplessly, he had no way to tell them the real reason.
Grandpa Dean's laughed, "Forget it, it's all over, it's okay if you're okay, by the way, you are not allowed to leave early today, your grandma and I still want to talk to you." ”
"Of course, we will definitely leave until evening, grandpa, you can rest assured." Peng Liyao said with a smile, Song Zhenqiang nodded beside him, he handed over everything to Lin Liexiao, so there was nothing to deal with in a hurry.
In the middle of summer, on a hot noon, the incandescent sun burned like flames in the sky and underground. There was no one on the road, no one on the river, and no one in the swamp.
In the orphanage, a group of people sat in the dining room, the children were all served, and the grandmother looked at Peng Liyao and Song Zhenqiang with a smile, "You didn't say what you wanted to eat, so you just made a little bit casually and tasted it to see if you liked it." ”
"I like it, grandma, how can you not like what you do." Song Zhenqiang said with a smile, Peng Liyao nodded, the food cooked by his grandmother was the most delicious he had ever eaten.
Song Zhenqiang saw Peng Liyao's happiness, and found that he had never seen him so happy when he made it for him before, and it seemed that he really liked this orphanage.
Grandma nodded with satisfaction when she saw Peng Liyao's appearance, "Liyao, you really listened to my words, this time you are fatter than last time, you have to keep it well, Xiaoqiang, you also have to supervise him well, don't let him not eat, and he is not a girl, what kind of weight to lose." ”
"I know grandma, so that's why you've been eating honestly lately." Song Zhenqiang looked at Peng Liyao with a smile, he was still wondering why he was eating obediently now, it turned out that it was because of this incident, it seems that grandma's words are still very effective.
Peng Liyao glanced at Song Zhenqiang and signaled him not to say more, it is better not to let his grandparents know about this matter, otherwise he will definitely be nagged again.
Sure enough, after grandma heard Song Zhenqiang's words, she pretended to be angry and said to Peng Liyao, "I'll just say how you lost weight, it turns out that you didn't eat well, such a big person, you don't eat well, I remember that you were not picky eaters when you were a child, why did you grow up to be picky eaters?" ”
"I, I didn't mean it, and I can't help it when I'm busy with work." Peng Liyao said helplessly, what should I do about this matter, let's go to dinner halfway through the investigation, this matter makes me very helpless.
Grandma sighed helplessly, she didn't know Peng Liyao's work, "Forget it, when you come here in the future, grandma will be responsible for making you eat to your heart's content, okay, hurry up and eat." As he spoke, he also put vegetables into Peng Liyao's bowl.
The weather in the middle of June was hot enough, and at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, it was the most unbearable time of the day, the road was scorched and hot, and the feet stepped down, and the air was hot and stuffy, as if a match could be lit.
Song Zhenqiang looked at Peng Liyao who was surrounded by children a little helplessly, he didn't see that he had such a source of children, but the tasks he took over recently did show that he was very patient with children.
Finally got out of the children, Peng Liyao walked to Song Zhenqiang's side, "Let's go, grandpa has something to look for us." ”
"What's the matter?" Song Zhenqiang looked at Peng Liyao suspiciously, not knowing what he was looking for.
"I guess it's an ability thing, let's go, it's okay." Peng Liyao said, while motioning for Song Zhenqiang to follow him, he was surrounded by the children as soon as he finished eating, and he only got out now, but after telling the dean's grandparents about the good things, he would still play with them for a while, and by the way, he could give them some things.
Song Zhenqiang nodded when he heard Peng Liyao's words, and then followed Peng Liyao towards the dean's grandfather's office, since it was something related to the ability, then they should know that they had the ability.
"Xiao Peng, you are here, I want to tell you about your abilities." Grandpa Dean looked at Peng Liyao and Song Zhenqiang and said seriously, since both of them have special abilities, then he doesn't need to worry about anything about them.
Peng Liyao and Song Zhenqiang nodded to indicate that they knew, and grandpa and grandma glanced at each other, and then told them what they were worried about now.
