Chapter 396 Grandma’s Relics (Thanks to my being the leader of the book friend Yao Scar)
"I'm not Chen Yuan..."
Chen Yuan pinched the clip on the mask and covered himself more tightly.
"Chen Yuan, what's wrong with you? Do you have anything to hide?"
Li Wei looked at Chen Yuan very puzzled, wondering why the other party didn't admit it.
"I'm really not Chen Yuan..."
Chen Yuan thought it might be because of the school uniform he was wearing, so he defended: "You may look at the uniform of No. 11 Middle School I'm wearing, and then I look a bit like Chen Yuan, so you think I am Chen Yuan. But, I really No."
"..." Li Wei looked at the person in front of him. No matter how he studied, he found that this person was Chen Yuan, but the other person refused to admit it, so he said, "That Chen Yuan... ah no, he is not Chen Yuan's classmate. You Why come here?"
"Come here for a walk, I used to come here often."
Chen Yuan was right. He had been here several times before he met Xinyu.
"Indeed, the scenery here is quite good and quiet." Li Wei nodded and said in approval.
"So you come here to relax?" Chen Yuan asked concerned.
"Originally it was just to relax, but now..." Looking at her wet self, Li Wei smiled, "No matter what, thank you. Although it caused a misunderstanding, your heart is good, Chen Yuan."
"Although I'm not Chen Yuan, you're welcome."
Li Wei: "..."
What a tough mouth.
Isn't this face the one who did push-ups in front of the whole school that day?
The wall of honor also has you.
When the police came to the school to give a safety speech, you also went up.
Why on earth do you have the misconception that people from Eleven High School don’t recognize you?
It turns out that such a top student is also so naturally stupid.
"Okay, I'm leaving then." Chen Yuan planned to leave.
"I'm leaving too." Li Wei waved her hand.
However, when the two people separated, Chen Yuan saw Li Wei, who was shivering in the cold wind and her teeth were chattering, and asked: "How far is your home from here?"
"Just walk for ten minutes."
"Then why not take a taxi, otherwise you will definitely catch a cold."
"...Ah, it's okay."
Li Wei smiled friendly and refused.
Then, walked to the roadside.
At this time, Chen Yuan suddenly noticed a bright spot.
Why doesn't she come to school and why does she have to wear school uniform?
If you're not going to school, wouldn't you wear something comfortable?
Chen Yuan seemed to understand the reason for not taking a taxi.
She has also become a little bourgeoisie who does not understand the sufferings of people's livelihood.
So, he walked over directly and called Li Wei: "I'm taking a taxi. Come with me. I'll take you back."
"No need, I can just walk back..."
"Taking a taxi is the same as taking one person, and it's the same as taking two people." Chen Yuan said.
And when Li Wei thought about it, it was indeed like this.
Besides, if I walked back by myself, I would definitely catch a cold if the cold wind blew for more than ten minutes.
Taking medicine and injections after catching a cold is more expensive than taking a taxi.
"Okay then, thank you Chen...Buyuan." Li Wei said.
Chen Buyuan did it all.
That's Chen Fang.
Just like that, the two people were waiting on the roadside for a taxi to arrive.
At this time, a gust of wind blew over and hit Li Wei's wet school pants, making her feel like a popsicle, extremely hard.
This kind of penetrating magic attack is much more powerful than ordinary cold wind.
Suddenly, Chen Yuan took off his school uniform and handed it over.
"……Thanks."
Logically speaking, Li Wei should refuse.
But it was too cold and she couldn't stand it anymore.
So, after taking the clothes, she tied them around her waist to block her lower body.
In this way, it is slightly better.
Then, he looked at Chen Yuan, who was wearing a shirt collar and sweater.
"Do I look younger?"
Chen Yuan, who was looking at the road and preparing to take a taxi, asked calmly.
"Hey, why do you say that?" Li Wei asked confused.
"I'm as cold as a grandson, but I'm even younger."
"..." Li Wei was stunned for a moment, and then was amused. Chen Yuan has a bit of humor in him.
Fortunately, the car finally arrived.
Then, Chen Yuan quickly raised his hand.
Just like that, the taxi stopped, Chen Yuan sat directly in the passenger seat, and Li Wei also sat in the back seat.
As expected, he knows how to be measured as he is in the legend.
Although he is very popular with girls, he has never had any scandals with girls.
This is different from the school motto of other schools.
A very serious person.
Apart from scaring himself into the water today, he definitely did something good.
Even if this good deed is suspected of fraud...
After a while, the rental car arrived downstairs at her house.
"I'm here." Li Wei said.
"Okay, let's stop for a moment." Chen Yuan said to the driver.
Then, Li Wei untied the school uniform tied around her waist, but when she was about to give it to Chen Yuan, she found that because she was soaked, Chen Yuan's school uniform was also soaked with moisture.
It will definitely be cold if you put it on.
"Is your home in front?" Li Wei asked when parking the car.
"Ah... I have to turn around." Chen Yuan said.
"Huh? Isn't that the opposite direction?"
Is there any way to go in the opposite direction?
"It's okay, just give me your clothes." Chen Yuan stretched out his hand.
"Since it's the opposite direction, why don't you get off here." Holding the clothes, Li Wei hesitated.
"Okay, master, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Chen Yuan thought Li Wei had something to say and didn't refuse.
The two got off the car in front of a row of old-fashioned apartment buildings.
"I'm thinking that if you go back for a long time, just wait a moment and I'll dry your clothes and give them to you later."
Chen Yuan was so frozen that he couldn't wear these clothes. He would probably catch a cold during this journey.
Li Wei thought so.
"Okay, thank you."
Chen Yuan agreed with a smile.
"Then why don't you..." At this point, she looked back at the dilapidated apartment building, and then said no more.
"It's okay, I'm right here." Chen Yuan said.
"Yes, I'll be right away." Just like that, Li Wei took her clothes and entered the dark apartment building in the corridor, and then climbed up to the third floor from the clanking iron stairs.
Opening the door, you will find a very narrow single room. The room is very dim. After turning on the light, you will see a double bed and a hard desk next to the bed, which is piled with documents.
The semi-open kitchen and a toilet with a glass door facing the bed are all very close to each other, and there is no pattern at all.
Li Wei just like this, after changing her clothes, she turned on the small electric sun, then held Chen Yuan's clothes on it and slowly warmed it up.
After a few minutes, I only had one sleeve dry.
So, she put down her clothes, went to the window, looked down, and found that Chen Yuan was a little younger again.
In this weather, wearing only a sweater is indeed...
A bit 2B.
But this was not Li Wei's point of view, but the people who passed by Chen Yuan looked at him like this.
And he was probably a little shy, so he almost pulled up his mask and changed it into a face shield...
No wonder I have to admit that I am Chen Yuan, it turns out he is so face-saving.
I guess I felt ashamed for scaring myself into the water just now.
Looking at the unexpectedly simple Chen Yuan, Li Wei wanted to wave him up, but then looked back at her humble room...
After struggling, she shouted towards Chen Yuan: "Chen...Buyuan, come up."
At this time, Chen Yuan raised his head and waved his hand: "It's okay, just dry the clothes and throw them off."
"It's going to take a long time. Go upstairs and warm yourself by the fire!" Li Wei said loudly.
It was probably too cold, so Chen Yuan stopped being polite and went upstairs.
Li Wei stood at the door in advance and introduced Chen Yuan in after he went upstairs.
And the moment he walked in, he observed his expression...
However, his expression did not change at all. After he came in, he sat directly on the small stool, put his hands on the small sun to warm himself, and complained: "The people here are quite enthusiastic, and they are all looking at me."
“Wearing a single sweater and shivering in the cold wind in the middle of winter, it’s hard not to notice.”
Also, the person who did this kind of thing is a handsome guy, which makes everyone even more curious.
While Chen Yuan was warming himself by the fire, he also opened his heart.
There wasn't much information, but I knew a little bit about it, which was that she was slightly embarrassed by showing her embarrassment to others.
But fortunately, her reaction made her feel more comfortable.
It looks like the single room can only accommodate two people, and there are some old people's clothes and belongings in it.
So Chen Yuan concluded that she lived with her grandma.
What about her parents?
It seems that I guessed it right, it was because of family reasons that I had the idea of jumping into the river.
No one wants to jump into the river?
Yuan Hei, shut up, you were saved by me!
"You live so far away, why is this point right by the river? Did you not go to school?" Chen Yuan asked curiously.
"Ah, I haven't been to school for a few days." Li Wei said.
"Then when are you going?"
"Well..." Li Wei said casually while helping Chen Yuan dry clothes, "Tomorrow."
"Tomorrow is Sunday."
"Oh, it's Sunday. I've almost forgotten the time... Then let's do it the day after tomorrow." Li Wei said with a smile.
"Do you live on campus or go to school?" Chen Yuan asked.
"I'm a day student."
It is definitely more convenient to live on campus, but the accommodation fee of 1,000 a semester is 2,000 a year.
You can save this money if you live with grandma.
Plus, I live with my grandma, so I can take care of her easily...
No, there is actually no other reason. The embarrassing and practical reason is only money.
In fact, the school knew its situation, so it waived tuition and fees for three years when enrolling.
Eleventh Middle School is still very humane.
At that time, I was still unknown and did not see the potential to reach the grapefruit line.
If it were now, if she went to the principal, even the accommodation and food fees might be waived. After all, she would have a certain chance of getting a Huaqing Jibei quota for the school.
but……
She didn't know how to say these words.
In addition, she was completely unfamiliar with Principal He Hongtao, had never spoken to him once, and had no idea what kind of person he was.
Therefore, she still wanted to hold on.
Let’s wait until the day when we can no longer hold on anymore.
Now that I think about it, grandma is really great.
I was brought up by scavenging. I was able to eat hot meals every day, which contained oil and meat, so I would not suffer from malnutrition. I was also able to earn enough money to buy myself so many educational materials.
And it was also because there were people who wanted to repay her kindness that she, who was not very talented in the first place, studied extra hard just to get into the best university, earn a lot of money, and let her grandma live a good life.
But now, it seems like a certain thread is broken.
The tense nerves relaxed.
After not reading a book for five days, I was able to do such a thing.
So depraved.
She heard that only college students did this.
"Then what will you do after grandma leaves?" Chen Yuan suddenly asked.
"...How did you know?" Li Wei was a little surprised.
How did he know?
Also, does he know who I am?
"47 and I are good friends, so I asked."
"47...Hu Siqi." After Li Wei said this, she looked at Chen Yuan and asked nervously, "Why do you want to ask her this?"
Could it be that he came to find her because of this? Wasn't it a coincidence that she was rescued just now?
But why?
Why do people like Chen Yuan come to see me?
It's surprising that he even knows himself.
After Chen Yuan thought for a while, he explained: "I bumped into him, so I asked him by the way. It's mainly about the promotional video. I have one more scene to shoot with you. Although it's not troublesome, the cameraman keeps taking advantage of me. The fragmented time has a little impact on my study."
"That's it."
Li Wei understood, and then asked, "But the person who shot the promotional video with me is Chen Yuan."
"..."
Chen Yuan slowly took off his mask, put it in his pocket, and announced: "You guessed it right, I am Chen Yuan."
Li Wei: "..."
The least suspenseful episode.
"But I really bumped into you today, and then I recognized you as the Li Wei on the wall of honor." Now that it was all about this, Chen Yuan stopped pretending and confessed.
"Ah, that's it..."
When he said this, Li Wei understood.
However, there were still some surprises.
I was remembered by that Chen Yuan.
"Actually, if you tell He Hongtao about the situation, the school will definitely help you." Chen Yuan said.
"The school knows about my situation, and the head teacher in charge of my grandma's death also knows. Since they didn't take the initiative to talk to me about this, it should be because the school has its own considerations..." Li Wei said.
"You have to take the initiative and not wait passively. I will take the initiative and ask for it."
"Ah? What did you ask for?" Li Wei asked curiously.
"From now until graduation, the school even said it would pay me the tuition and fees for the university, which I paid with my girlfriend." Chen Yuandao said.
"Even your girlfriend's?" Li Wei was shocked.
"Achieving this result is somewhat of a privilege." Chen Yuan said.
"Then can I pretend that I have a boyfriend and get double share?" Li Wei said seriously.
"..." This stopped Chen Yuan from asking, "You are more greedy than I thought."
Then, Li Wei smiled and handed the dry clothes to Chen Yuan: "I'm just kidding, I'm very grateful to have my share."
"Then you come to me on Monday and I will take you to meet He Hongtao." When Chen Yuan saw Li Wei, he thought of another girl who looked very similar to her - Xin Yu.
So, he wanted to help her.
He would feel better if she was nicer.
"um. Thank you."
Li Wei nodded gratefully, then hugged her legs and buried her head in her knees. After a long time, she said in a depressed tone: "How can the gap between men be so big?"
"Why do you sigh like this?"
After Chen Yuan asked, Li Wei bit her lip, stared at the light of the little sun, and murmured: "The first time you met me, you were willing to help me find money for the school. My dad hasn't seen me for several years, and he came back after my grandma died. , left without even saying a few words to me, and even took grandma’s bankbook away.”
"Your dad is really not a..."
Chen Yuan couldn't help but said halfway, pursed his lips, lowered his head, and after thinking for a while, comforted: "With our grades, our income after graduation should be pretty good. The darkness before dawn will eventually dissipate."
"Yeah, just get over it and you'll be fine." Li Wei also encouraged herself.
She knew that the future would be good.
But at this moment, it is still inevitable to feel depressed.
Especially when a relative who has always been around and will never abandon her like them is gone, she can't even imagine who she should share her achievements with in the future.
If Li Wei gets better, those two relatives, the so-called 'parents', might come back to her.
Don’t I have parents again?
hehe.
Li Wei didn't know what to do.
The gloomy past, the difficult present, and the future without any expectations...
It seems that no matter which timeline I am in, I will never be happy.
But she felt sorry for her grandma even more. Her life was much harder than hers, and she had not yet lived the good life she wanted her to live.
If I had known earlier, when grandma was going to celebrate her birthday, she shouldn't have said she didn't want cakes and delicious food just to save money.
In this way, at least grandma can have many happy memories in her life.
Rather than like now.
This world is truly a purgatory.
"Then your grandma, besides the bankbook that your father took away, didn't you leave anything else for you?" Chen Yuan asked with concern.
"Grandma died of overwork. When I came back, she was no longer breathing. I don't know what was left..."
Because Li Wei found hundreds of dollars in cash at home, she judged: "Besides, grandma won't be able to save much money by scavenging."
That's what he said, but after listening to his heart, Chen Yuan felt that these few hundred dollars were definitely not enough for Li Wei to survive.
Perhaps the old lady has some other savings.
Thinking this way, Chen Yuan started the Xunwu Chaozi.
The item you are looking for is: One hundred dollar bill.
Then, on the bed board, in an iron box, there was a roll of glowing banknotes...
"I think old people like to put things under their quilts. Maybe you can look for them."
After Chen Yuan finished speaking, he was ready to get up and leave.
At this moment, Li Wei stood up as if she suddenly thought of something, lifted the quilt, and prepared to lift the mattress...
Because it was difficult for her to lift, Chen Yuan asked, "Do you want my help?"
"I saw my grandma moving the mattress earlier. I asked her to help, but she said no and didn't move it."
After Li Wei muttered to herself, she looked at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan nodded and helped her move.
Just like that, I found a tin box containing biscuits underneath.
Fortunately, grandma hid it well, otherwise her father would have got away with it.
After getting the iron box, Li Wei opened it and saw a roll of crumpled red banknotes, about two or three thousand, tied up with a rubber band.
Next to the banknotes, there is a rather exquisite red medium-sized drawstring bag.
Looking at it, Li Wei picked up grandma's relics with a trembling right hand.
Slowly, open the bag and pour the contents into the iron box.
Da da da……
A golden gold transfer bead fell into the iron box, making a crisp sound.
There were eight in total, and they landed in the cookie box.
Then, there was a roll of invoices tied with rubber bands. After being poured out of the bag, it lay quietly in the iron box.
Chen Yuan was very curious, but Li Wei, who looked confused, leaned against the bed in a daze and sat down on the cold ground.
So, he picked up the roll of invoices and took off the rubber band.
1.01g pure gold transfer beads, the gold price is 256 yuan/g, and the processing fee is 23 yuan.
This should be the price of gold eight or nine years ago, so cheap.
Or gold is a store of value.
Then, Chen Yuan continued to watch.
I found that every year, each one represents a lucky bead, and the year is different.
so……
Chen Yuan, who thought this way, carefully observed the date.
All transfer beads...
The dates are all December 5th.
"Is it your birthday..."
Just when Chen Yuan raised his head to ask, he saw Li Wei sitting on the cold ground, biting her lip in grievance. Her eyes were red, like a stingy child who refused to share her toys with anyone. Holding the iron box tightly in my arms...
