Chapter 62: Thirty Years Later, Revisiting Huanting Middle School (I)

At the eastern end of Chenjiaqiao Village, there is a two-story brick and concrete structure of a small milky white house with white walls and red tiles. The yard is surrounded by a white marble fence, and the yard is planted with a variety of flowers and grasses, and the trees are lush. In Chenjiaqiao Village, the houses of such a building are not eye-catching, but the layout is very elegant and special. There are many tall orchid cinnamon camphor and precious flowers and plants planted in the yard, and the flower bonsai is scattered around the yard, which is scattered and reasonably distributed. The courtyard is not very large, and the two golden copper gates open to the southeast.

The owner of the house is an old man, the old man with silver hair and a loud voice, who travels every day by a black hand-pushed wheelchair, which is pushed out by a young woman.

Chenjiaqiao Village is not big, but the geographical location is unique. The Chen family all said that this is a treasure land of feng shui, and the descendants surnamed Chen who went out from here are all famous: there are high-ranking officials at the provincial, ministerial and departmental levels; There are business elites in the business community; There are exquisite eight-sided art giants; As for doctoral students and university students, it is no longer just the word 'blooming everywhere'.

In recent years, the village has gradually been equipped with some public facilities. Electricity, water, gas, sanitation, elderly activity centers, and village parks have all been put in place.

A medium-sized amusement plaza is being built in Chenjiaqiao Village. The planning of this square has been started for a long time, but it has not been approved by the relevant departments at higher levels because the budget is exceeded and the planned land area is too large. The village was re-planned, not only to be much smaller in size, but also to revise the budget, which was quickly approved after it was submitted. Now all the start-up capital is in place. There are two sources of these funds: one is the voluntary donation of the entrepreneurs and bosses of the village; In one place, the villagers voluntarily bear part of the construction funds. The business owner donated most of the funds, and a small part of the gap was filled by the villagers of Chenjiaqiao voluntarily.

On the northwest side of the park stands a majestic tall building. The building, which is about 30 meters tall and has seven floors and a total of 15 side-by-side buildings, is a landmark building in Chenjiaqiao Village. It is said that more than 12 million yuan was spent on its construction. This building has complete facilities and many functions, including a dance floor, KTV, a movie hall, a gym, a library, a university classroom for the elderly, an activity room for the elderly, an indoor basketball court, an indoor tennis court, a chess and card room, a party member activity center, an apartment for the elderly, a canteen and kitchen facilities, a living room, etc., which almost includes all the activities required for entertainment and office.

The old man in the wheelchair is none other than our host, Mr. Chen Limin. Mr. Chen Limin is now an old man in his eighties.

Teacher Chen Limin's feet have been completely paralyzed and he can no longer walk on the ground for more than 10 years, and the cart is carried by one of his granddaughters, named Chen Min, who is still a junior in the provincial capital.

Although Mr. Chen's legs and feet are inconvenient, he is still very concerned about public welfare, and he is almost involved in all matters in the village. He is not a big figure in Chenjiaqiao Village, he has not earned money for his family in his life, so it is naturally impossible for his family to be rich and powerful; He has never been a big official or a small official, and even a civil servant at the rank of a clerk is more majestic than him; But he is satisfied, he is full of peach and plums, and his protégés are all over the world. His students are scattered all over the world. There are high-ranking officials in government departments, successful entrepreneurs, and well-known professors in universities; There are doctors, journalists, people's teachers, breeders, self-reliant individual businesses and agricultural producers; There are overseas travelers who have crossed the ocean; There are business owners and business tycoons who are so rich that they are hungry for gas, and it is inevitable that there are students who are so poor that they still can't eat. In short, there were so many people in these societies that it was difficult for him to remember some or all of them.

Mr. Chen Limin's children have all moved to the county to live and work, and his wife has been gone for many years, but he refuses to evacuate the rural nest. The children had no choice, so they tried to renovate his old house and build this small western-style house, which was built into the current appearance. His wife died in five years, leaving him, leaving him very sad and lost for a while, and now, he is lively again. The children are very filial, take good care of him in life, and take turns driving from the county seat to visit him every once in a while. Some of his colleagues and friends also often came to his house to play chess and cards with him, chat or talk about national affairs, tell the truth, and tell historical allusions. This is an important part of old age, and it is good that these elderly people who are enjoying their old age are 'dying' and can not lie in a hospital bed and fight against diseases.

Now, Mr. Chen's old age life is also very fulfilling, usually let his family push his wheelchair to the village park for a walk, look up at the clouds flowing overhead, listen to the sound of birds and magpies chirping in the treetops, or stop the wheelchair to watch young people play ball, middle-aged and elderly people dance, drumming, rehearsal, singing, chatting, and playing chess; His own voice is still very good, his singing voice is tenor, and his lung capacity is not bad, so the treble can also be played.

At about 10 o'clock in the morning, a black seven-series BMW quietly drove into the cement road of his yard and stopped in front of the gate of his yard, and a middle-aged man in a high-end suit stepped out of the car, and he rang the doorbell.

After a while, a young woman's voice came from the doorbell: "Who are you and who are you looking for?" ”

"I'm looking for Mr. Chen, I'm one of his students, please let me know." The middle-aged man said politely.

"Okay, can you tell me your name?" The young woman continued to ask the visitor through the doorbell.

"Please tell Teacher Chen, my name is Qi Xuebing, and I am a student who was removed from Huanting School in his early years."

"Please wait a moment, I'll go tell grandpa."

The door was slowly opened, a wheelchair was parked behind the door, and teacher Chen Limin, who was sitting in a wheelchair, appeared in front of Qi Xuebing wearing myopic glasses. Behind the wheelchair, a young and beautiful girl was standing behind her grandfather with both hands on the handle of the wheelchair, and was smiling at Qi Xuebing and said, "Hello Uncle Qi, this is my grandfather." ”

"Hello little girl, thank you, I know your grandfather too well." Qi Xuebing said as he bent down and whispered to Teacher Chen Limin's ear: "Hello Teacher Chen, I am an unworthy student who was expelled from school by you, do you remember me?" ”

Teacher Chen Limin nodded and said loudly: "Why don't you remember, you are my most painful student, it's a pity, I don't expel you, maybe there is one more high-ranking official and noble official among my protégés, your name is Qi Xuebing, and your father still owes me eight yuan and nine cents?" ”

Qi Xuebing smiled and smiled very happily: "Look at you, I still remember these eight yuan so clearly, I forgot it a long time ago, my father also passed away, who do you ask for this money?" ”

Teacher Chen Limin said: "Don't say it, I don't want it now, it's not that my legs and feet are inconvenient, maybe I will go to your house, Qi Xuebing, since you are here, go into the house to drink tea and talk with me." ”

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I thought you had forgotten me a long time ago, you have a really good memory, you seem to be deaf and clear-sighted, and you have a long life?"

"The ears are really good, but the eyes are not good, you can't use the word 'deaf and clear' to describe me, it's not appropriate."

"Okay, good, Mr. Chen was right in his criticism, please forgive me for not studying well at the time, and now I can't even speak well."

"Teacher Chen, I always thought that you would have lived in the county seat to enjoy Qingfu, otherwise, I would have come to visit you a long time ago."

"Fellow soldier, what business are you doing now? Seeing that you drive such a good car, I guess you've mixed quite well over the years, right?"

"Teacher Chen, you don't know, I also caught up with the good times and enjoyed the blessings of the Communist Party." Qi Xuebing said.

"Xuebing, since you are a big boss, you have to lead the people of your hometown to get rich together, and you can't enjoy it alone. Teachers don't expect anyone to repay them, but you have to take responsibility and contribute to society. ”

"Teacher Chen, you still don't forget the people in your hometown and the villagers, which touches me, in fact, I returned to my hometown this time at the invitation of my old classmates."
