"Chen Xi, you must be careful when you are alone outside, don't cause trouble, take care of yourself, you know?"
In front of the Happiness Welfare Institute, an old woman in her sixties took a boy's hand and said with concern. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Mother Xu, don't worry, I will take care of myself. ”
"Don't make trouble, you have to study hard at school, you know. Here's two thousand dollars, which is your food expenses for three months, and you have to put it away. ”
Looking at the boy who was already much taller than herself, the old woman who was called Mother Xu felt very happy in her heart. Because I took care of my eldest child, I was admitted to a prestigious school, and it is still a place with free tuition. "Mother Xu can't help you much, don't blame Mother Xu. ”
"Mother Xu, what are you talking about, if it weren't for you, I would have died a long time ago, and it's too late for me to thank you. And I can't ask for this money, the hospital is not very rich in the first place, how can I ask for money. ”
For Xu's mother, Chen Xi treats him with gratitude, after all, if Xu's mother hadn't insisted on keeping him in the orphanage, he might have died a long time ago.
Xu's mother is the director of the Happy Orphanage, and in the summer of 17 years ago, he was almost a year old when he was abandoned in front of the welfare home. At that time, the welfare home was very difficult, and there was not much money in the home, so there were only Xu's mother and two other very old nurses and aunts left in the welfare home, but there were nearly 20 children living in the welfare home.
So for the newcomer Chen Xi, the two nurse aunts didn't want Chen Xi to stay, after all, one more child would cost a lot more, which would be bad news for the welfare home at that time.
At that time, Xu's mother insisted on keeping him despite the opposition of the other two, and in this way, Chen Xi stayed in the orphanage for seventeen years.
Fortunately, in the sixth year of keeping Chen Xi in the orphanage, the situation in the orphanage began to slowly improve, and there was some liquidity.
Chen Xi is eighteen years old this year, and was admitted to a university from Kyoto a few days ago, Chen Xi plans to go to Kyoto to find a job first and earn some living expenses, and Xu's mother is sending him off.
Chen Xi is obedient, which is what every child who leaves the orphanage will have. You have not been adopted by a good family, you have to work alone, and Mother Xu can not help you much, she can only give you two or three months of living expenses. ”
Seeing that Chen Xi was reluctant to ask for it, Xu's mother was a little anxious, after all, Chen Xi was alone and didn't have a little money in his hand, it would be very difficult.
"Mother Xu, I can't ask for this money, and there is not much money in the hospital. As I said, when I was in school before, I saved some money by working part-time, although it was not much, but it was enough for my living expenses for a month or two. ”
"I said it, I went out to work to make money this time, and it was useless to take it before, so it was better for Mother Xu to keep it. ”
Chen Xi didn't want the money handed over by Xu's mother, he knew that the orphanage didn't have much money, although it was better than before, but it was only better, and there wasn't much money.
"Chen Xi, you have to have that money, otherwise Mother Xu will be angry. ”
Seeing that Chen Xi was still unwilling to accept the money, Xu's mother had to pretend to be angry, she had to let Chen Xi accept the money, otherwise when she went outside, in case something happened, there would be money to deal with in an emergency.
"Okay, shall I take the money down?"
Chen Xi saw that Xu's mother was about to get angry, so he had no choice but to accept the money handed over by Xu's mother, he didn't want to make Xu's mother angry, so he would come back a few more times in the future and bring more things back.
"Isn't that good, you have to make me angry, and that's it. ”
Seeing that Chen Xi accepted the money, Xu's mother was very happy, and then handed over a bag in her hand to Chen Xi.
"Huh?"
Seeing the bag handed by Xu's mother, Chen Xi was a little confused, because he didn't know what was in it, but he could feel a trace of intimacy.
After closing the bag, Chen Xi saw that there were only two things inside, one was a string of pendants, a stone the size of a baby's fist hung on a black rope, and it was this pendant that made him feel intimate. The other thing is indeed a letter, a letter that is some year old.
"It was found with you, the pendant around your neck, and the letter pressed under you. ”
Seeing that Chen Xi was very confused about these two things, Xu's mother told Chen Xi the origin of these two things.
It turned out that when Chen Xi was discovered, these two things were also discovered with Chen Xi, but these two things have special significance to Chen Xi, so when she decided to put Chen Xi in the orphanage, Xu's mother put these two things away, so as not to lose them.
"Found with me?"
Hearing Xu's mother's words, Chen Xi was very surprised, because he had no impression at all, and after so many years, no one had ever mentioned it to him.
"Yes, I don't know what that pendant is, but as for the letter, it has an address in it, and it says that you should go there after you are eighteen years old and find someone who you think is Uncle Wang. ”
"Looking for Uncle Wang? Does that mean he knows about my parents? ”
Hearing Xu's mother's words, Chen Xi was very excited, after all, this was the first time he had grown up to know the news about his parents.
"Xiaoxi, in fact, after we found this letter, we went to the address mentioned in the letter to look for it, but we didn't find anything. ”
"What!"
"Xiaoxi, don't worry, maybe we didn't find it, and didn't the letter also say, I want you to go when you're eighteen years old, maybe you'll find it this year." ”
Mother Xu saw that Chen Xi's face became ugly when she heard her words, so she hurriedly comforted Chen Xi. The reason why she told Chen Xi that they didn't find Uncle Wang back then was to give Chen Xi a wake-up call.
She was very afraid that when Chen Xi looked for it alone, she would be sad if she couldn't find it, and there was no one to comfort him at that time. So tell Chen Xi about this first, so that Chen Xi can be prepared.
"If you can't find it, you can't find it, don't I still have Mother Xu, Mother Xu doesn't have to worry about me. ”
Chen Xi knew that the reason why Xu's mother said this was because she was worried about him, although he was also sad about what Xu's mother said, but he didn't want Xu's mother to see it and be sad for him.
"Fool, that's your biological parents after all, be nice to them when the time comes, you know. ”
Hearing Chen Xi's words, Xu's mother was very happy, but she sighed heavily in her heart, he knew that Chen Xi still cared a lot, but she couldn't say much about this matter.
"In case, I mean, if they don't find it, don't worry, maybe they're delayed. Besides, there's me, isn't it? ”
Although she didn't want Chen Xi to be sad, Mother Xu couldn't help but mention it again, she just wanted Chen Xi to be happier.
"Yes, and Mother Xu, besides, I may not have time to find them by then. ”
Seeing that Xu's mother was still worried about herself, Chen Xi knew that he was leaving, and if she didn't leave, Xu's mother didn't know what to think.
"Mother Xu, I'm leaving, I still have to catch a long-distance bus. ”
"Okay, then you have to be careful on the road. ”
Hearing that Chen Xi was leaving, Mother Xu couldn't help but continue to tell Chen Xi.
"Mother Xu, I know, you can go back. ”
After speaking, Chen Xi left the orphanage where he had lived for seventeen years with his luggage, although he could come back in the future, but at that time this was no longer his home.
With a somewhat sad mood, Chen Xi got on a long-distance bus to Kyoto.
Just when Chen Xi was sitting in the car and was about to fall asleep, the long-distance bus suddenly stopped, and then Chen Xi felt a violent shaking and fainted.
