Chapter 424 Grandpa, You Are So Kind
The next morning, as the dawn broke, golden sunlight gently sprinkled on the courtyard of Jinyang Villa.
A luxurious RV slowly drove out, its body shining silver under the sunlight. It slowly drove onto the avenue and gradually merged into the bustling traffic.
Inside the RV, there was a warm and harmonious scene. Xiao Yue sat next to the old lady, her eyes full of concern and caring. She sorted out the old lady's clothes from time to time, and looked through the window at the street scene passing by, her heart full of joy.
Mu Huiying and Shen Rou sat side by side, talking intimately. Mu Huiying pointed out the window, pointing to a magnificent building at the red light intersection and said:
"That Huiying Bookstore over there is also Xiaoji's property. I didn't even know he had this asset before. It was Cheng Yu who took us in for the first time."
Jiang Shuo sat quietly beside Song Shijie. Hearing this, his young head turned and looked towards Huiying Book City.
Then he looked up at Song Shijie, with curiosity in his eyes, and said, "Grandpa, I don't know either. It looks like it should be very big from the outside. Let's go in and take a look if we have a chance."
Song Shijie reached out his hand lovingly, gently stroked Jiang Shuo's little head, and responded solemnly: "Okay, let's go in and take a look some other day."
When Jiang Shuo heard this, a bright smile immediately bloomed on his face. He stretched out his chubby hands, gently rubbed Song Shijie's cheeks, and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, you are so kind."
Song Shijie smiled, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, and asked: "Stinky baby, grandpa wants to know, you are so well-behaved and sensible, why do you reject dad so much?"
Jiang Shuo's expression instantly became serious. He pursed his lips, not daring to look his grandfather in the eye, knowing that he was in the wrong.
He lowered his head and muttered softly: "I'm not rejecting him, it's just that he's not worthy of being a father."
When Song Shijie heard this, he was shocked by the meaning of the words "unworthy of being a father" and said indirectly:
"Hey? Then tell grandpa, how can he be qualified to be a father? What are the criteria for a stinky baby?" Song Shijie asked in a persuasive manner.
Jiang Shuo was silent for a moment, looked out the window, and said slowly: "Grandpa, let it be! Some things take time to be proven and grow."
Song Shijie was slightly startled, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he joked: "Oh? Really? Is Choubao's insight so profound and unfathomable?"
Jiang Shuo lowered his eyes and muttered softly: "Grandpa, please give me some time, I will try to accept him.
In fact, I want my little daddy to come back to me." As she said this, tears immediately started to fall.
Song Shijie felt so distressed that he quickly picked up Jiang Shuo and sat him on his legs, hugged him in his arms, and gently wiped his tears.
He consoled her, "Don't cry, my dear. Grandpa believes that you have your own ideas. Let's just let nature take its course."
The bright sunshine lazily sprinkled in the RV. Mu Huiying and Shen Rou sat opposite each other, and the soft light cast a faint warm glow on their faces.
At this time, Mu Huiying's expression gradually became solemn. She sighed softly and slowly said, "Huiying Bookstore was founded by Xiaoji after he graduated from junior high school for his enlightenment teacher Gu Xuewen."
Shen Rou looked at Mu Huiying with interest, "I only learned about this three years ago when Teacher Gu suddenly passed away."
Shen Rou leaned forward slightly, her eyes full of curiosity and concern, listening attentively.
Mu Huiying paused, lost in memories, and continued, "Three years ago, on the morning of the tenth day of the first lunar month, a little girl from Huiying Bookstore called and informed Xiaoji that Teacher Gu had suddenly passed away.
The news was so sudden that it even alerted the police. When Teacher Gu was found, she was still sitting at her desk, holding a photo of Xiaoji from junior high school tightly in her hand. She just passed away quietly like that.
When Shen Rou heard this, she couldn't help but gasp, her hands unconsciously covered her mouth, her eyes full of shock.
Mu Huiying continued, "The situation was unclear at the time and everyone was very nervous. Fortunately, after a detailed autopsy by the forensic doctor, the cause of death was determined, which allowed Xiaoji to be cleared of the charges and get rid of the suspicion."
Shen Rou looked at Mu Huiying in surprise, and was a little excited: "There is such a thing? This child knows how to bear any problem. Does he want us, as parents, to be like decorations?"
Mu Huiying smiled bitterly and shook her head, her expression becoming more serious: "Later, Teacher Gu's brother came to the funeral hall and made a scene.
He was so unreasonable in public that he tried to extort the pension. Fortunately, Xiaoji saved some evidence of his escape with the money and handed it to the police, who promptly arrested him on the spot.
Shen Rou covered her heart and said in horror: "It's really thrilling!"
Mu Huiying nodded and said, "Who said it wasn't true? Later, through the reporter's report, I learned more about the hidden truth.
When Xiaoji was very young, his right leg was not that lame. It was because Xiaoji discovered that Teacher Gu's brother and nephew had absconded with the money, so Xiaoji blocked them at the door of their house.
The black-hearted father and son were desperate and Xiaoji's right leg was broken by Teacher Gu's nephew.
He was afraid that I would feel sad and upset if I knew about it, so he quietly hid in an orphanage and endured the pain, and he managed to get through all these years. "
Shen Rou's tears flowed like a flood that broke through the dam, and she couldn't stop it. She raised her hand and gently wiped the corners of her eyes.
Mu Huiying took a deep breath, calmed down her emotions, and continued, "Teacher Gu encountered the darkest moment of his life that year. The whole family went out for a trip and suddenly got into a car accident.
His wife and daughter were in hospital and urgently needed compensation to save their lives, but his black-hearted brother absconded with the money, eventually leading to the death of his wife and daughter.
Teacher Gu wanted to commit suicide in despair, but Xiaoji found out and dissuaded him. In order to give Teacher Gu something to rely on and the courage and goal to live, Xiaoji opened Huiying Bookstore and let him manage it.
Tears welled up in Shen Rou's eyes. She sighed, "Little Guitar has such an unfortunate fate!"
"This child is so beloved. At first, I was worried about his college expenses, so I sent him 2,000 yuan every time, asking him to eat well and not to be stingy with his health.
But not long after, the money was automatically returned. He always said that he had money and asked me to keep it for myself!"
Song Shijie said softly to Jiang Shuo: "Listen, when Dad was a child, he was also very independent and strong."
"I know. He told me that because of his handicap, he was often bullied by those naughty kids." Jiang Shuo said distressedly.
Mu Huiying nodded slowly after hearing Jiang Shuo's words, her eyes full of heartache and helplessness:
"In a few days it will be Teacher Gu's death anniversary, and Xiaoji goes to pay respects to the deceased every year without fail.
He is a child who values friendship and loyalty. Teacher Gu is not only his enlightenment teacher, but also a guide on his life journey.”
The car fell silent for a moment, with only the sound of gentle wind blowing through the window, as if it was also sighing for Xiaoji's rough experience.
At this moment, RVs were flowing in the bustling streets and gradually arrived at the gate of the Red Star Welfare Home.
Director Guo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, leaned out of the car window and waved to the security guard. The folding door slowly opened, and the RV drove steadily into the yard of the Red Star Welfare Home.
The luxurious RV instantly attracted many people in the welfare home to look forward to it. The RV was parked steadily in the parking space in the yard, and its luxurious appearance made people admire it.
Dean Guo got out of the passenger seat early and stood aside waiting. Mu Huiying held Shen Rou's hand and gently reminded her, "Sister, be careful."
As Shen Rou walked, she sighed: "This place has changed so much! I remember when we celebrated the New Year together here before, there was a pavilion here."
Director Guo came forward with a smile on his face and explained, "We have replanned the area so that the venue will be more spacious for the orphans and children in the welfare home to have physical examinations.
The pavilion was demolished and a long corridor was built to facilitate queuing and leisure. The big pharmacy over there was also opened by Xiaoji. "
Song Shijie and Jiang Shuo also got out of the car, and their eyes were all directed towards the old pharmacy.
At this time, a childish but firm voice sounded: "Grandpa, today we are visiting the orphans in the welfare home. Do you need a free consultation? I can help the grandparents and children feel their pulses and consult with them."
When Director Guo heard this, he walked over quickly, smiled and said in agreement: "Choubao, you can do whatever you want. I believe that all the lonely elderly people in the Red Star Welfare Home will like you."
"Really? Grandpa Guo, then I'll go in and find them!" Jiang Shuo said, and ran to the backyard like a happy little deer.
Mu Huiying and Shen Rou shouted at the same time: "Slow down, stinky baby, don't fall."
Xiao Yue helped the old lady out of the car steadily. Dean Guo quickly extended his hand to support her and said, "Hey, old lady, please go slowly. Please follow me." A group of people followed Dean Guo towards the backyard.
As soon as I passed through the hall door, I saw pairs of old men and women dancing to cheerful music in the yard.
The cheerful rhythm makes the kind smile on the old lady's face even more amiable.
"Oh, when I hear this waltz, every cell in my body wants to dance! Haha... I haven't exercised for a long time, and I feel like my arms and legs are out of control." The old lady said with a smile.
Dean Guo responded with a smile: "You are still in your prime. Did you see the old lady in the cheongsam? She and her husband are about the same age as you."
Although he never had children in his life, he adopted many children from poor mountain villages, and all of them became national scientific research backbones.
Her name is Xu Wanfang and her husband is Peng Yuyan, a veteran. I met her at Xiaoji Hospital when I had a car accident.
The two elders almost died in the hospital, but fortunately Yu'er's medical skills are superb, and they are now the healthiest two in the welfare home!"
Everyone's eyes were cast towards the old lady Xu Wanfang in cheongsam, their eyes were full of admiration and praise, and the welfare home at this time was filled with more warmth and vitality because of their arrival.
