Chapter 51: A Visit to the Teacher
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back," Grandma said excitedly with tears in her eyes.
"Come, grandma, sit", Jiang Bing helped the old man and sat on the folded quilt.
Jiang Bing's hut is too small, the quality of a bedside table is unusually poor, it will be crumbling when you put some heavy objects, the old man arches his back, he has to do it properly, the quilt is just right to fold, and the comfort is also moderate.
Jiang Bing chatted with the old man in front of him carefully, the old grandmother is an elder in the slums, because of the poor conditions, the average life of people here is not bad, the eighty-year-old grandmother, that is a real treasure, don't look at the old grandmother on weekdays, she always shows her head and has nothing to do, but if you really see it, see what the old grandmother does, then you must be able to give a thumbs up, whether it is from the physical fitness or the meticulous work, it is impressive.
Chatting with the old grandmother, it feels like time flies very slowly, Jiang Bing hopes that he has countless topics to talk to the old man in front of him.
Time flies like a white horse, and quietly passes.
The rich smell of "eating" in the slum area that had not been seen for many years came out on this night, and I thought that the old grandmother would not have been so grand when she celebrated her eightieth birthday.
The biggest advantage of the slum is that there are few outsiders, there are almost no outsiders visiting on weekdays, let alone at night, and most of the stray cats and dogs can be seen.
Chickens, ducks, fish, meat, melons, fruits and vegetables, everything, don't look at the poor slums, but there are really a lot of tricks.
It's a festive day for the whole slum, and everyone gets together and puts their tables out on the street.
The long rows of tables on the street occupy the center of the entire avenue, and the food on the table is not only very nutritious, but at least it is pollution-free and additive-free.
The adults happily get together to eat, drink and have fun, and the children are mischievous.
The happy time passed quickly, and there was still spirit after a sleepless night, but everyone had their own work, so when the early sun did not show the corners of their eyebrows, they went home to rest.
People are poor, but there are qualities, and on the street after eating, the ground is intact after people retreat, and it is neat and tidy, giving people the appearance that no one could have eaten here before.
After saying goodbye to everyone one by one, Jiang Bing also returned to his cabin, this sleep, Jiang Bing felt that it was the most solid and comfortable sleep in his life.
On the dark side of the Emperor Star, in Jiuyuan, the weak eat the strong, danger is everywhere, and if you want to sleep completely defenseless, you will put your head under someone else's knife, which also makes Jiang Bing not sleep a peaceful sleep in these years, and as soon as he got home, he fell asleep very quickly.
The next day, when Jiang Bing opened his eyes, the strong sunlight had already entered Jiang Bing's hut through the crack in the door, Jiang Bing hurriedly got up, he had an important task today.
Visit your mentor, Hua Ye.
Pushing the door out, it was not only the bright sunshine that greeted you, but also the kind smiles of the uncles and aunts at the door.
Launched his car that was the same as five years ago, said goodbye to everyone, and drove towards Hua Ye's house according to the route in his memory.
In the past five years, whenever I go out, I either walk or ride a horse in a sedan chair, and board the bicycle again, which is really refreshing.
Whoosh~
Soon Jiang Bing arrived at the door of Hua Ye's community, and the doorman did not change, but he no longer recognized Jiang Bing.
After Jiang Bing identified himself and said something wrong, the doorman let him go, and asked Jiang Bing to leave a registration at the doorman, during which the doorman wanted to call Hua Ye but was stopped by Jiang Bing, saying that he wanted to surprise the teacher.
Pushing the bicycle, he walked into the community and came to the door of Hua Ye's house with a familiar car.
Bite!
Jiang Bing parked the car aside, walked up the steps and pressed the doorbell.
"Who" A female voice came from inside the house, and her voice was very crisp, which made Jiang Bing wonder if she had gone to the wrong place.
Opening the door, a beautiful woman with long hair and waist-length appeared inside the house.
Jiang Bing knew after glancing at the woman that he must have made a mistake, and this could not be Teacher Hua Ye's house.
"I'm sorry, maybe I made a mistake" Jiang Bing scratched his head and replied politely.
"Who" Before Jiang Bing could turn around, a familiar voice came from inside the house, this appearance, Jiang Bing was very familiar, Master.
But Jiang Bing was just about to speak, and Hua Nan, who opened the door, closed the door and said, "I'm looking for the wrong person."
This is really wronged, Jiang Bing hurriedly rang the doorbell again.
Hua Nan opened the door and said, "Is there anything else?"
"Is this Hua Ye's house" Jiang Bing said tremblingly, the moment he saw his wife, Jiang Bing already knew that the teacher had not moved, and this was the place he was familiar with for a long time.
"Hey, you're coming to my grandfather," Hua Nan was surprised.
"Your grandfather, could it be that you are Hua Nan" Jiang Bing has a good memory, and Jiang Bing remembered the name only once at that time.
"Huh, you know me" Hua Nan was even more surprised, how could this strange man in front of her know her.
"Who" Just as the two were chatting, the master and wife spoke again.
"I don't know, grandma, it seems that she came to find my grandfather", Hua Nan turned to the house and said.
Jiang Bing couldn't help it anymore, rushed in the door, and saw Jiang Bing rushing in, Hua Nan just wanted to intercept it, but watched Jiang Bing arrive at the shoe change area with a familiar car, and put on a pair of shoes that were the most obvious, but they were not allowed to move by grandpa.
After Jiang Bing changed her shoes, she came to the living room.
"You are" Jiang Bing's height has changed dramatically in five years, and it is normal for the old man to not recognize it for a while.
"Master, I'm Jiang Bing, I'm back."
Jiang Bing..... Ginger.... Ice?" The old man put down the teapot from which he was pouring, raised his head and stared at the face in front of him, as if he was looking for something similar to everyone he knew before.
Finally, after watching it for a long time, the old man excitedly helped Jiang Bing to sit down, "You..."
"Master, I'm really sorry that I left without contacting you, how is he, teacher."
"He's okay, it's okay, Xiaoice, where have you been all these years, you don't know, after you disappeared, your teacher is about to die."
"Grandpa was sick that year, it turned out to be because of you," Hua Nan, who closed the door, walked in front of Jiang Bing.
"Sick, wife, teacher..."
"It's okay, your teacher is fine now"
Whew, Jiang Bing breathed a sigh of relief, if it was really because he made the teacher sick, it would really be too undeserved.
"I'll go cook, and I'll eat at home at noon," said my wife, who got up and said.
"Grandpa, he'll be back after school in a while" Hua Nan went to the sofa next to him, turned on the TV, and watched.
Jiang Bing, who was left aside, was not idle, walked to the familiar room, took a look and walked to the toilet, picked up the tools that he used to clean by himself, and cleaned the house, although it was very clean here, Jiang Bing just couldn't help it.
Knock knock
A sound of the door opening came from outside.
I saw an old man with gray temples walking in, and after the old man changed his shoes, he looked up and saw Jiang Bing who was cleaning.
"This is" Hua Ye pointed to Jiang Bing and asked Hua Nan who was sitting on the sofa.
"Oh, he's called Jiang Bing." Hua Nan looked at the TV with straight eyes and replied casually.
Syllable!
Hua Ye's briefcase fell to the ground, the two looked at each other, and tears couldn't stop flowing.
"I'm back," Hua Ye said with wet eyes and a red nose.
"Teacher!" Jiang Bing put down the mop and quickly ran to Hua Ye, and the two hugged each other.
After a long time, Hua Nan couldn't help but say, "Don't you hold enough?"
Also, the two old men have been hugging each other for so long, and it is no wonder that Hua Nan complained.
"Let's go, go to your room and say" Hua Ye and Jiang Bing walked into Jiang Bing's bedroom together, they hadn't seen each other for many years, and they missed it very much, but they were just pitiful that the briefcase was lying on the ground alone, no one cared about it, no one cared about it.
"Jiang Bing, where have you been all these years" Hua Ye patted Jiang Bing's shoulder and said worriedly.
"I went to a planet that I don't know about" Jiang Bing didn't know how to describe the dark side of the Emperor Star and the Nine Abysses, these two planes were really shocking, Jiang Bing was afraid to say that Hua Ye suspected that he was lying to him, and second, he was afraid of scaring Hua Ye, so he made up a lie, a white lie.
"You don't know, we called the police a day after you disappeared, but you also know that the crime rate is really not high now, and it takes more than three days for people to be missing." Hua Ye recalled his panic and resentment against the police station when Jiang Bing disappeared that day.
"Hey, since the world has been stable for so many years, there are too many police, and most of them spend the state's money and then raise fat, so the country has also laid off a lot of police, and the number of police has been greatly reduced, and they generally rarely care about some daily trivial matters." Hua Ye defended the police station, he didn't want to affect Jiang Bing's trust in the police because he had a bad opinion of the police department.
At all times, the police always represent justice, and although they are sometimes unsatisfactory, they are not bad people.
In order not to worry Hua Ye, Jiang Bing's mind turned, and a lie was made up from beginning to end, but it was because the lie was too smooth and perfect, which caused Hua Ye to be suspicious, but Hua Ye was also a general after all, Jiang Bing didn't want to say it, and Hua Ye wouldn't force him.
"It's good to be back," Hua Ye was relieved.
"Is the teacher still teaching now" Jiang Bing was concerned about Hua Ye, sixty-five years old, although he was not old, his physical condition was still not as good as that of young people, so Jiang Bing was more worried.
"I'm stiff now, don't worry about me, it's you, what are your plans when you come back" Hua Ye patted his chest, proving that his body was tough.
"I don't have any plans, it's just that I think my parents may not be dead yet, and they may still be living in a place I don't know" Jiang Bing said what he thought in his heart, for Hua Ye, these things, Jiang Bing did not hide.
"Have you ever thought about continuing to study," Hua Ye said earnestly.
"But all my thoughts now are on finding my parents, not to mention that I have been absent from class for five years, how can I continue to study" Jiang Bing shook his head, expressing his uncertainty about continuing to study.
"If you want to find your parents, I can help you find them, my relationships and connections are still more than yours, as for studying, this matter is very simple, as long as you are willing, what is it if you are absent from school for five years, I can get you into school if you are absent from school for ten years" Hua Ye's firm words showed a very strong confidence.
