Chapter 370: Father and Son
"What, you're going to live in Baiyun Temple from now on?"
Outside the gate of Chen's orphanage, when Chen Fan handed over the task of placing beggar children to Li Mei, Li Mei looked at Chen Fan with some surprise, "You have to think clearly, it is already the outskirts of the city, and it is very inconvenient to travel back and forth." ”
"I've decided, besides, don't give me a task for a short time, I have some personal matters that need to be dealt with. Chen Fan said with a serious face.
"Okay, I'll report to the third master, by the way, what about the old monk? He really asked you to help see the Baiyun Temple that no one had destroyed at all?" Li Mei looked at the lush manor, her expression full of envy.
"Yes, the old monk looks at me handsome. ”
Chen Fan was in a good mood, and joked, the reason why he chose to live in Baiyun Temple was because he found that sleeping there for a night last night, with the special cultivation posture 'Drunken Wolong', the true yuan in his body would run much smoother than usual, and he was worried that he couldn't find a place to cultivate, Baiyun Temple was undoubtedly the best place.
"It's not serious. Li Mei saw that Chen Fan couldn't speak accurately when he wasn't doing his job, and she was used to it, so she hesitated, "I have a private ......."
Before Li Mei finished speaking, she saw Fu Yan appear beside Chen Fan again, and took Chen Fan's arm and said, "Chen Fan, you come with me, I have a good thing to discuss with you!"
After speaking, regardless of whether Chen Fan agreed or not, he pulled him and walked down the mountain, and Fu Yan did not forget to wave to Li Mei and say goodbye.
Li Mei saw that Chen Fan was picked up by the dignified daughter of the Fu family, and there was a luxury car parked at the intersection below, she flattened her mouth, sighed inexplicably, was stunned for a while, her face returned to normal, looked back at the 'Chen Orphanage' on the door plaque, and smiled self-deprecatingly.
"It's only been a few days, and he's already on his feet, and he doesn't need my help. ”
Li Mei's two hands were a little uneasy intertwined, and a kind-faced orphanage director walked behind her, stretching her neck to watch Chen Fan being pulled away by Fu Yan, she reached out and patted Li Mei's shoulder, "Xiaomei, do you like that kid? ”
"He's kind-hearted?" Li Mei spiffed, "Aunt Dean, that's when you didn't see him evil-hearted." ”
"Oh, you have a story to tell. The dean showed curiosity, and Li Mei blushed, "My aunt, I won't tell you, these children will trouble you to take care of, although some of them have found their biological parents, but there will be new children to send." ”
"I know, don't worry, don't think about business all day long, it's a good big yellow girl, and you should also think about your life's events. ”
"Ah...... It's still early...... Men can't be trusted. Li Mei walked away in a panic.
On the other side, Chen Fan was dragged into a luxury car by Fu Yan, driven by a strange man named Ah Cai, after Chen Fan got into the car, he kept looking at Chen Fan from the rearview mirror, his eyes were full of vigilance.
Chen Fan didn't care, he and Fu Yan sat side by side in the back, Fu Yan was carefully dressed up today, and changed into a more formal looking dress, Chen Fan was a little curious, "Where are we going?"
Fu Yan straightened a few strands of hair that were blown by the wind, and her face exuded strong confidence, "There is a charity association at noon, and I registered a charitable fund organization in your name, how can you not come forward, and take advantage of the fact that the matter of the hilltop orphanage has been exposed by the media in the past few days, so that more people can participate in the charity industry, isn't it great?"
"This ...... It's not good, although the media is exposing it, I haven't been pushed to the front, Li Mei has done some confidential work. Chen Fan hesitated, "In addition, to find a stable place for the children, I just want to have peace of mind, many times, I can't get through myself, many things, I can't do anything, besides, I don't plan to be a good person for a lifetime, you know, I'm not a good person." ”
"There is no conflict between people who are not good and people who are good. Fu Yan narrowed her eyes, her face showed a mysterious look, "Of course, this is not simply a charity association, don't you know that today is the eighty birthday of your old man of the Chen family?"
Chen Fan sat up straight and stared at Fu Yan without blinking.
Fu Yan pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't look at me with such eyes, Old Man Chen has his eightiesth birthday, and people with heads and faces are definitely going to celebrate his birthday, if you want to go back to the Chen family, there is no more suitable opportunity than this." ”
Chen Fan's expression was a little complicated, for a while, he didn't know what to say, there was no homesickness, no excitement, in short, there was suddenly an extra stone in his heart.
"Everyone who has no spiritual sustenance will be so worried. Fu Yan took the initiative to reach out and press on the back of Chen Fan's hand, comforting Chen Fan with her temperature, "You have also seen it, since yesterday, after the orphanage family search trip began, more than a dozen children have returned to their parents, and the reason why they can reunite is because of your good deeds, you have matched family reunions one after another, and I also heard that among the few children taken away this morning, several of them still have quite family backgrounds, and you didn't see them reunited." ”
"Okay, I'll go home today, back to Chen's house. A smile appeared on Chen Fan's face again, and he looked at his clothes, "You should have told me earlier, I was dressed too casually, by the way, the old man is eighty years old, what should I give?"
Fu Yan saw that Chen Fan was a little nervous, and smiled, "Don't worry, as long as you go back, it will be the biggest gift, by the way, I heard that Old Man Chen has not been in good health in the past two years, if you can cure the old man's illness when you go back, you will definitely be able to win the favor of his old man, in addition, the charity meeting at noon, the Chen family will also send people, so ah, take this opportunity, you should also get to know each other." ”
"Thank you, I didn't expect you to think so much about me, I don't even know how to thank you. ”
Chen Fan said to Fu Yan with a sincere face.
"Thank me?" Fu Yan raised the corners of her mouth, "Don't worry, I'll have a time for you to help, but not now." ”
"As long as I can help, you say it, and I will definitely help you. ”
Chen Fan was in a good mood, and after this period of getting along, he found that as long as Fu Yan didn't talk about business, she was actually a very emotional woman.
"That's what you said. Fu Yan stretched out her finger, "Pull the hook." ”
"Hey, it's a child's trick. ”
After Chen Fan finished speaking, seeing that Fu Yan still stretched out his finger, without the intention of joking, Chen Fan stretched out his finger and hooked Fu Yan.
After Fu Yan and Chen Fan pulled the hook, a smile appeared on her face, she turned to look out the window, smiling and smiling, with a trace of sadness between her eyebrows.
Chen Fan rushed to participate in a charity meeting, a mansion under the Xiangshan Mountain in the west of the city covers an area of thousands of acres, people coming and going in and out are bustling, busy, and people are busy arranging birthday couplets everywhere in the Liujin Deep Courtyard.
In the depths of the mansion, Chen's ancestral hall is very different from the lively scene outside, hundreds of towering trees are lush, birds chirp, there is a partial room not far from the ancestral hall, the partial room is surrounded by streams, the spring water is dingdong, a man with snow-white hair, but his appearance is not heroic, it looks like a middle-aged man in his forties is carrying a pot of water to the ancestral hall, and the water in the pot is poured in a cluster of flowers.
Although it was late autumn, on the flower bed outside the ancestral hall, the flowers were blooming, and the middle-aged man put down the teapot in his hand with satisfaction, leaned on the edge of the flower bed, staring into the distance, his side silhouette was four or five points similar to Chen Fan!
This person with white hair but a face that is not old is Chen Fan's father, Chen Yongsheng.
A wheelchair was pushed out of the forest path by two cleanly dressed women, and when Chen Yongsheng, who was full of white hair, saw this, he hurriedly walked to the front of the wheelchair, knelt down with his legs together, and looked respectful, "Father, I wish you a long life than Nanshan and a blessing like the East China Sea!"
Different from Chen Yongsheng's white hair, the old man in the wheelchair has black and thick hair, but his face is old, his skin is like orange peel all over his face, his eyes are sunken deeply, his hands on the wheelchair are as thin as firewood, he is wearing a gray zipper shirt, and his thin body has not occupied half of the wheelchair.
And this old man who seems to be declining is the contemporary head of the Chen family, Chen Quanshan.
"Get up, Yongsheng. ”
Chen Quanshan gently patted Chen Yongsheng's shoulder, Chen Yongsheng got up and stood up, he naturally came to the back of the wheelchair, and the two subordinates who were originally pushing the wheelchair also stepped aside with interest.
"Yongsheng, Chen Family Ancestral Hall, you have been taking care of it here for twenty years. Although Chen Quanshan looked extremely old, his voice was unusually clear.
"Father, when my son made a big mistake, he was willing to protect the ancestral hall. ”
"Twenty years, even if you make a big mistake back then, it's enough, from today on, you don't have to imprison yourself, the years are not forgiving, in the blink of an eye, I am eighty years old, and you are almost fifty, not when you are young!" Chen Quanshan sighed, and the two fathers and sons fell into a short silence, "Okay, today is a happy day, I have good news to tell you, your son, you have come to the capital, you should also reunite and recognize each other." ”
Chen Yongsheng suddenly became excited, "Father, is it true that Fan'er is back?" and the old gentleman took him away...... Never thought that there would be a day when we would meet again?!Father, are you lying to me!"
"What am I lying to you about...... Your son has been in the capital for a few days, and there has been a lot of commotion, do you remember the technician's manor outside Xicheng?" Chen Quanshan tapped his fingers on the wheelchair, "He did something interesting." ”
"Father, tell me the news about Fan'er, I guard the ancestral hall day and night, I don't know anything about the outside world, even the antique business is also taken care of by Lao Wu, my son, when did he come to the capital, is he alone? Is there anyone to pick him up, can he find his way home? Why didn't he come directly to Chen's house, why didn't he come to me?!" Chen Yongsheng's face was excited.
Looking at Chen Yongsheng, who was excited, Chen Quanshan's old face showed a trace of doubt, "Yongsheng, I have been recuperating for half a year, and your eldest brother has not consulted you about major family matters? You really don't know anything about the outside world? Didn't your eldest brother tell you about your son? Your old friend from Sioux City came to you a few months ago, and your eldest brother met with him at that time, but he didn't mention it to you later? Your son, four months ago, he went to Sioux City, where you did business twenty years ago!"
"What?" Chen Yongsheng couldn't help but lose his voice, "Big brother...... Why did my eldest brother do this to me? After all these years, he still refuses to forgive me for being a brother?"
