Chapter 1016: Repay the Favor to Those Who Were There
Chapter 1016: Repaying the Gratitude to the People of the Past
Brother Mo reached out and held Ella's hand, giving her silent support.
Shen Lu turned to look at Chongming and said: "We Chinese people attach great importance to friendship. Back then, he saved our father and aunt. Now, we will repay this kindness for our father."
Shen Qi also said: "Drink water and remember the source. If this uncle hadn't saved my aunt and father back then, we wouldn't have what we have now."
He Yi Ning nodded, and Brother Mo also agreed.
Brother Mo held his child in one hand and his beloved wife in the other, and said with emotion: "I am the one who should thank him the most. Without him, how would I have the happy life I have now?"
"Why aren't we?" He Yi Ning and Shen Lu answered in unison.
Chongming seemed to understand a little bit. He nodded and said: "As long as it is something you say is right, I will do it."
So what if he doesn't understand the kindness and kindness of people?
As long as Shen Lu asked him to do something, he would do it.
He only needed to protect Shen Lu and his deeply loved heart, that was enough.
"Without further delay, let's go there quickly." Ella said: "This uncle is not only our benefactor, but also a member of our Lin family. But the relationship is a bit distant. By our generation, there is basically no blood connection. According to Due to my seniority, I still have to call him uncle."
Shen Qi nodded: "I understand. We have to call him grandpa."
"Yes." Ella turned to look at Chongming: "I don't need to warn anyone else, but I want to warn you. This uncle used to be a hero. Although he is old now, I hope he can still get it. Our respect and respect. Chongming, as an aunt, I ask you to restrain your aura for the time being, because this uncle was really powerful when he was young, and he could tell the difference between you and us. "
Chongming nodded: "Yes, aunt."
Only then did Ella laugh and said, "Come on, let's go there."
The group set off again and drove towards a very remote nursing home.
This nursing home is located in a local countryside, backed by a green mountain and surrounded by a stream. The environment is quite good, but the popularity is too low. Almost no one comes here.
The people living in this nursing home are basically lonely elderly people who are sent here to take care of themselves at the government's expense.
Lin Xu is also one of them, but he is the only one who used his pension to move in.
The elderly man, who is nearly ninety years old, has very poor physical functions.
Even so, his mind was still clear.
When Shen Qi and his party appeared in front of him, his turbid eyes stayed on Ella and Shen Qi for a long time before looking at He Yi Ning, Shen Lu, Chongming, and Brother Mo.
"Uncle, I am the little girl who was rescued by you during the earthquake. Do you still remember?" Ella squatted down and said softly: "Back then, you were a very outstanding investigator. When I went home for vacation, we encountered a major earthquake. At the most critical moment, you rushed into the house and snatched my brother and I out of the precarious house. The moment you left the room, the house collapsed. My parents never came out of it."
Lin Xu's eyes were distant for a moment, and he thought for a long time before slowly speaking: "More than forty years ago."
"Yes, it's been fifty years now!" Ella whispered: "I am the little girl back then, and the little boy is my brother. They have both passed away."
Shen Qi and Shen Lu immediately went over and introduced themselves: "Grandpa Lin, we are Lin Yuxiang's children. We are late, we are here to see you."
Lin Xu grinned. He had lost all his teeth, but his eyes were still sharp.
"That little baby's child is already so big." After Lin Xu said this, there was a long silence.
"Grandpa Lin, thank you for your righteous deeds back then." He Yi Ning also thanked him.
Lin Xu just glanced at He Yi Ning and didn't answer anything.
What Ella said is right.
Even though the old man is already octogenarian, his intuition is still very accurate.
He was keenly aware of the differences between He Yi Ning and Chong Ming. He doesn't say it, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know.
Even if they restrain their aura, the nobility of their bodies cannot be concealed.
Lin Xu ignored He Yi Ning, but said to Ella and Shen Qi, "What are you doing here?"
Ella answered carefully: "We want to take you back for your retirement, is that okay?"
Lin Xu shook his head slightly: "No need. I have a pension. It's good to live here."
Ella and Shen Qi looked at each other.
The old man is only patient with girls, other men don't even look at her.
No matter how good-looking He Yi Ning and Shen Lu were, they wouldn't pay attention to them.
Shen Qi explained: "Although the environment here is good, the conditions are a bit rough after all."
"The environment back then was worse than now. There is nothing wrong with it." Lin Xu replied: "I appreciate your kindness. Go back. There is no need to come back. An old man who is about to die has nothing to see!"
After saying this, old man Lin Xu turned his wheelchair and left.
Looking at the old man's leaving figure, Shen Qi and Ella looked helpless.
I found the dean of the nursing home, who was very enthusiastic.
Even if he didn't know who these people were, he could guess from their clothes that they were children from wealthy families.
So, it was a buy one get one free deal!
"Director, when was Elder Lin Xu sent here?" Ella very tactfully pushed a bank card over and said, "This is what we sponsored to the nursing home, please don't refuse."
The director's face was really happy, how could he refuse, and happily put it in his pocket.
The director replied, "Old Lin, he was sent here more than ten years ago. There are not many people in his family, they are all gone. After his only child died, the government sent him here."
"So he has no other relatives?" Shen Qi asked.
"What relatives could he have? All his other relatives died during the earthquake. So many people died that year. How many families were left intact? Including my family, there were many casualties." The dean replied: "After the earthquake, when the reconstruction was underway, Mr. Lin was introduced to another family and had a child. More than 20 years ago, his wife passed away first, and he and his child depended on each other for life. As a result, the child was weak and sickly since childhood, and he was unable to have children when he grew up. The two bachelors just made do with each other. Ten years ago? Mr. Lin's son got a serious illness and spent all the family savings. They sold the house but couldn't save him. The day his son died, Mr. Lin was also dying and couldn't even walk. Then the government saw that there was no one to take care of him, so they sent him to me. So, who are you to him?"
