After the weather cleared up, he and Li Long drove the big truck to the county.
He parked the truck at the entrance of No.1 Middle School and said to Li Long, "Wait for me at the restaurant. I'm going to the next No.1 Middle School."
He felt that he had neglected Teacher Jin for the past two years. He wondered how the old lady was doing. She used to take care of him and even Four. It was only reasonable for him to visit her again.
Li Long said, "I'll wait for you then. Otherwise, it will be hard for you to find a taxi later."
There were not many taxis in the county. He suggested to his brother to start a taxi company, and his brother agreed immediately. This made him very happy. Collecting junk could no longer satisfy his career ambitions.
The dignified Boss Li was a junk collector. He didn't even bother to hand out business cards. Although he didn't need to hand out business cards most of the time, he was already a celebrity in the county. There were very few people who didn't know him from outside and at business occasions.
Li He waved his hand. "No need. Go and prepare the food. If they arrive early, it will be bad for them to wait for us. I'll take a taxi later. "
Li Long nodded in agreement. If the guests arrived early and neither of them was there, it would be bad.
Li He met Old Guan from the security department at the school gate. After exchanging a few words, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his bag and threw it to him.
Old Guan caught it without hesitation. When he saw that it was a foreign cigarette, he was very happy.
Old Lady Jin opened the door and saw Li He. She was very happy. "Come in. Why did you bring gifts? Your sister gave me a lot of gifts last year. Look at the cabinet. You haven't even finished the milk yet. Your brother often comes over. I have never bought gas before. Your brother brought it all to me. "
She felt a little proud. It was not because they gave her anything, but because she felt that she had not been forgotten. At her age, she was always afraid of being forgotten.
"It's my pleasure. How have you been recently? " Li He did not greet her. He sat on the chair and saw that she was about to pour him tea. He hurriedly stood up and stopped her. "I'm not thirsty. I'm really not thirsty. Don't bother. You can sit here too."
The old lady was helped to sit down and said, "It's fine if you don't want to drink it. I'm in good health. I can eat and sleep well. You don't have to worry about me. I heard that your child is almost three years old? "
"He's three years old. He's very naughty." Li He didn't know what to do with Li Lan.
Teacher Jin could not help but sigh. "Very good, very good. Thinking about it so quickly. Your children are already so big, how can we not be old? Think back to when you first came to school here. You were so skinny. I was worried that you would be blown away by the wind. Look at how strong you are now. "
Li He smiled helplessly and sighed. "At that time, there were many children in the family. There was nothing I could do about it. It was hard for me to even eat. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to continue my studies in high school. I would have gone home to earn some work credits. "
"Isn't it because you didn't live up to expectations? If you don't live up to expectations, no matter how others help you, it's useless. Do you still remember, in the middle of winter, under the school's streetlights, your hands were frozen, and you stomped your feet while holding a book? At that time, I was thinking that you would definitely be successful in the future. I'll take it that you're the most promising among all my students. "
"Then it seems that no one is more hardworking than me." Li He shamelessly boasted. Not only did he have to read under the streetlights in winter, he also had to do it in summer. In order not to disturb the rest of his roommates, he would usually feed the mosquitoes under the streetlights in the middle of the night. He even had to bring a bag home.
However, in order to remember a few more English words and model English essays, he felt that it was all worth it.
"There are many people who are more hardworking than you. If you ask me, it's definitely Ye Zhi who is the most hardworking. Do you still remember that girl?" This time, the old lady did not agree. Suddenly, her face turned gloomy. "It's a pity. I suggested her to repeat the course, but she didn't agree. A few days ago, when we were talking, we even felt sorry for her."
"It's quite a pity." Li He finally remembered this girl from his memory. It was because she had helped him with a meal, or rather, a biscuit.
This girl was also very beautiful. Her family conditions were relatively good. Her parents were both in the government agencies.
She never ate in the school cafeteria. In the envious eyes of many people, she rode a brand new and beautiful bicycle home every day to eat.
Such a beautiful girl with good grades and good family conditions, Li Lao 'er was not qualified to be friends with her. However, in his heart, she was undoubtedly a fair, rich and beautiful goddess. He even had to look up to her when he talked to her.
Although the two of them only sat in the front and back seats, they never said more than a few words. Although it was related to the atmosphere of the clear division between men and women, at the same time, it was also because of Li Lao 'er's inferiority complex. His shabby and shabby appearance made him unable to lift a little bit of confidence. It was not because of the girl's arrogance.
This girl was very natural and unrestrained.
The only thing she said was that Li Lao 'er's stomach made a sound first. That day, he waited for the food to be delivered from home. He had been hungry for a whole day. His stomach was barely supported by plain water. During the evening self-study, his stomach rebelled and made a series of growls. He only hoped to end the self-study early and find a companion to steal some food from the fields outside. However, he was also worried. What food could he find in the fields in winter?
Hou Yali, who was sitting in the front row, heard it and quietly stuffed a pancake into his mouth.
"No, thank you." Li He blushed and declined in a low voice. He must not lose his integrity in front of the goddess. Starving to death was a small matter, but embarrassing himself was a big deal.
Unexpectedly, Ye Zhi said righteously, "Students should help each other. Please don't stand on ceremony."
Although it was in the middle of winter, he felt the warmth of spring. He swore to repay it.
However, the two of them did not say a word after graduation.
Later, he heard people say that Ye Zhi did not do well in her exams and made some mistakes. After crying, she did not want to repeat her studies anymore. Under the arrangement of her parents, she entered the county oil factory.
After he entered university and went out to work, life was not as smooth as he had imagined. There were many bumps and bumps. The pressure from his family and personal made him unable to breathe. The goddess of the past also disappeared from his mind.
Of course, now that he thought about it, it was just a childhood fantasy. It was hard to make it real.
The old lady continued, "I'll cook lunch. You can eat at my place."
"It's okay. I have something else to do at noon. " Li He looked around the house and said, "Teacher Jin, I'll help you hire someone to take care of you. It's not convenient for you to cook with this body."
The old lady said, "Thank you. You guys have given me a lot of money over the years. I have nowhere to spend it, so I've been saving it. I'm thinking of hiring someone. I've also asked someone to look for someone, but there's no suitable one yet. It's not that I want someone to do the work for me. I'm just afraid that one day I'll accidentally die in this house and no one will know if I stink. If I hire someone, she can deal with this old bag of bones in the first place. "
Her words sounded very lonely.
"No, no, you're thinking too much, Teacher Jin. If you have any difficulties, just call my brother. This is his home phone number. " Li He wrote the number for the old lady. At the same time, he could not bear to hear it. He took out a stack of money from his bag and said, "Teacher Jin, this is a small token of my appreciation. Take it, don't save money."
"Aiya, you damned child. How much have you already given me? You can't give me anymore." Such a thick stack of money frightened the old lady. She hurriedly picked it up and stuffed it back into Li He's bag.
"No need, this is for you." Li He stood up, picked up his bag, and hurriedly ran out, ignoring the old lady's shouts.
When he reached the school gate, he saw someone waving at him from a car.
Li He looked at the fat man. He could not remember who he was, but he felt that he had seen him somewhere before. It was very familiar.
"Brother Li, don't you recognize me? I'm Xiao Zhao! "The fat man got out of the car and got closer to Li He so that he could see him more clearly.
