Chapter 396 Grandma's Relics (Thanks to My Book Friend Yaoba, the Leader)

"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 have seen the uniform I wore in No. 11 Middle School, and then I looked a bit like Chen Yuan, so you thought I was 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're here just to relax?" Chen Yuan asked with concern.

"It was meant 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 went there too.

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.

"Well, 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 measure things as he says 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.

"Ah? 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, so he didn't refuse.

The two got off the car in front of a row of old-style apartment buildings.

"I thought if it would take you a long time to go back, just wait a little while, I'll dry your clothes and give them to you later."

Chen Yuan was frozen like a grandson, and he couldn't wear these clothes. He would probably catch a cold after all this trip.

That's what Li Wei thought.

"Okay, thank you."

Chen Yuan agreed with a smile.

"Then why don't you..." At this point, she turned her head and looked at the dilapidated apartment building, and then said nothing more.

"It's okay, I'm here." Chen Yuan said.

"Well, I'll be there right away." Just like that, Li Wei took the clothes and entered the dark apartment building, and then went up to the third floor from the iron stairs that clanged with every step.

Opening the door, it was a very narrow single room. The room was very dim. After turning on the light, what you saw at a glance was a double bed and a hard desk next to the bed, with documents piled underneath.

The semi-open kitchen and the toilet with a glass door facing the bed are all very close to each other, with no layout at all.

Li Wei changed her clothes, turned on the electric sun, and then held Chen Yuan's clothes on it and slowly warmed them.

After a few minutes, only one sleeve was dry.

So she put down her clothes, went to the window, looked down, and found that Chen Yuan looked a little younger.

In this weather, wearing only a sweater is indeed...

a bit 2B.

But this is not Li Wei's point of view, but people who passed by Chen Yuan all looked at him with such eyes.

And he was probably a little shy, just pulling up the mask and changing it to a mask...

No wonder he was unwilling to admit that he was Chen Yuan, it turned out that he was so face-saving.

Just now, he probably felt embarrassed to scare himself into the water.

Seeing the unexpectedly simple Chen Yuan, Li Wei wanted to wave him up, but then she looked back at her humble room...

After struggling, she shouted to Chen Yuan: "Chen... Buyuan, come up."

At this time, Chen Yuan raised his head and waved his hand: "It's okay, just throw the clothes down after drying them."

"It will take a long time, go upstairs and warm up by the fire!" Li Wei shouted.

And probably because he was too cold, Chen Yuan didn't say anything polite and went upstairs.

Li Wei stood at the door in advance, and after he went upstairs, she led Chen Yuan in.

And when he entered the door, she observed his expression...

However, his expression didn't change at all. After entering, he sat on a small stool, put his hands on the small sun to warm up by the fire, and complained: "The people here are quite enthusiastic, they are all looking at me."

"Wearing a single sweater in the cold wind in the winter, it's hard not to pay attention to it."

Also, the person who did this was a handsome guy, so everyone was even more curious.

Chen Yuan also opened his heart while roasting the fire.

There was not much information, but he also roughly understood a little bit, that is, she was a little embarrassed by her embarrassment.

But fortunately, his reaction made her feel a little more comfortable.

The single room seemed to be able to accommodate only two people, and there were some old people's clothes and belongings in it.

So Chen Yuan judged that she lived with her grandmother.

What about her parents?

It seems that he was right, because of family reasons, he had the idea of ​​jumping into the river.

Didn't he want to jump into the river?

Yuan Hei shut up, I rescued him!

"You live so far away, how come you are by the river at this time, didn't you 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, Sunday, I kind of forgot the time... Then 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's definitely more convenient to live on campus, but the accommodation fee is one thousand per semester, which is two thousand per year.

If I live with my grandma, I can save this money.

In addition, living with my grandma makes it easier to take care of her...

No, there is no other reason, just a desperate and realistic reason, only money.

In fact, the school knows her situation, so when she enrolled, she directly waived three years of tuition and miscellaneous fees.

No. 11 Middle School is still very humane.

At that time, she was still unknown and didn't see the potential to reach the pomelo line.

If it were now, she would go to the principal, and maybe even the accommodation and food fees would be waived, after all, she had a certain chance to get a Huaqing Jibei quota for the school.

But...

She didn't know how to say these words.

In addition, she was not familiar with Principal He Hongtao at all, and she had never spoken to him once, and she didn't know what kind of person he was.

So, she still wanted to hold on.

When she couldn't hold on any longer, she would talk about it.

Now thinking about it, grandma is really great.

She was brought up by scavenging, and she could eat hot meals every day, with oil and meat in the dishes, so she was not malnourished, and she could also earn money to buy so many teaching materials for herself.

And because she had someone she wanted to repay, she studied harder, even though she was not very talented, just to get into the best university, make a lot of money, and let her grandmother live a good life.

But now, it seems that a thread is broken.

The tense nerves relaxed.

She didn't read a book for five days, and she could do such a thing.

So depraved.

She heard that only college students did this.

"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? Was it not an accident 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 into 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, so..."

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 grandmother's death also knows about it. 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 to ask for it. You can't wait passively. I'll 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.

If she was nicer, he would feel better too.

"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 after my grandma died, When he came back, he 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 knows that the future will 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, in an iron box, there was a roll of glowing banknotes...

"I think old people like to put things under the quilt. You might be able to look for it."

After Chen Yuan finished speaking, he was ready to get up and leave.

At this time, Li Wei stood up as if she suddenly thought of something, lifted the quilt, and prepared to lift the thin mattress...

Because she was struggling to lift it, Chen Yuan asked, "Do you want my help?"

"I saw grandma move the mattress before, and I asked for help, but she said no, so she didn't move it."

After Li Wei said this to herself, she looked at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan nodded and helped her move it.

In this way, a tin box of biscuits was found underneath.

Fortunately, grandma hid it well, otherwise it would have been taken away by her father.

After getting the tin box, Li Wei opened it, and then saw a roll of crumpled red banknotes, about two or three thousand, tied with a rubber band.

Next to the banknotes, there was also a rather delicate red medium-sized drawstring bag.

Looking at it, Li Wei picked up her grandmother's relics with a trembling right hand.

Slowly, she opened the bag and poured the contents into the iron box.

Da, da, da...

One by one, the golden pure gold lucky beads fell into the iron box, making a crisp sound.

There were eight in total, and they fell into the biscuit box.

Then, there was a roll of invoices tied with rubber bands, which lay quietly in the iron box after being poured out of the bag.

Chen Yuan was very curious, but Li Wei, who looked confused, leaned against the bed and sat on the cold ground.

So he picked up the roll of invoices and removed the rubber band.

1.01g pure gold lucky beads, gold price 256 yuan/g, processing fee 23 yuan.

This should be the gold price eight or nine years ago, it's really cheap.

Gold is still a good value.

Then, Chen Yuan continued to look.

He found that every year, each one represented a lucky bead, and the year was different.

So...

Thinking in this way, Chen Yuan carefully observed the date.

All the lucky beads...

The date is December 5th.

"Is it your birthday..."

Just as Chen Yuan raised his head to ask, he saw Li Wei sitting on the cold ground, biting her lips in grievance, her eyes were red, like a stingy child who refused to share her toys with anyone, holding the iron box tightly in her arms...
