Chapter 19 Dumplings
When Dean Li said this, Zhang Fugui was not angry.
He just put down the tea cup in his hand and said righteously: "Dean Li, you can't say that. I was in the second grade of elementary school and got a good rank in the exam. Dean Wang can vouch for this."
When Dean Li heard Zhang Fugui's rebuttal, he smiled and nodded in agreement.
Then he explained to Guan Yu: "Well, he did get a ranking. He got into the top ten in the exam. He passed ten students in total. He took the tenth exam. Dean Wang told me later."
Zhang Fugui said unwillingly: "Then don't you blame me for the lack of students? Who made our place remote at that time and there were so few students?"
"Yes, the city did not develop so fast at that time, and this was actually the countryside." Dean Li said while recalling the past.
"But, I remember Dean Wang said that you were two years older than the other sophomores." Dean Li asked.
At this time, Zhang Fugui was completely speechless. He had a short-term water bottle and sipped it by himself.
In Guan Yu's ears, he could only understand 70% to 80% of these words.
But he could feel that Dean Li really loved and cared for Zhang Fugui, so he could tell Zhang Fugui's life so happily.
Because Dean Li is really enjoying all this happily.
At this time, there were several knocks on the door.
After getting Dean Li's permission, a round-faced woman in her fifties walked in.
Seeing this round-faced woman, Zhang Fugui stood up immediately and hugged her.
"Mother Li, do you miss me?" Zhang Fugui asked happily.
This mother Li, whose real name is Li Rong, is Director Li's biological sister. She has entered this orphanage since she was young.
It can be said that when Dean Li came later, in addition to him being a good person, he also had a huge reason for working here with his sister.
Zhang Fugui was raised by Li Rong and three deans.
The three deans have different terms of service. Although Zhang Fugui regards them as his fathers in his heart, he usually only respects him as dean.
Only Li Rong, Zhang Fugui would only call her "Mother Li" and never changed her name.
Guan Yu originally planned to get up to see the ceremony.
However, Dean Li next to me stopped him and said with a smile: "Young people, you don't have to have so many etiquette. Drink tea, drink tea."
Here, when Zhang Fugui was holding Li's mother happily, he suddenly noticed that Li Rong's eyes were a little red and swollen.
"Mama Li, have you ever cried?" Zhang Fugui asked.
"Why are you crying? After you left, there were so many troubles that made me cry." Li Rong pretended to have a sullen face, and then laughed to prove that he was fine.
But Zhang Fugui saw it and always felt that the other party was hiding something from him, so he didn't reply and just looked at Dean Li.
The moment he turned around, he saw Dean Li making a face towards Mother Li.
Before Zhang Fugui could open his mouth, Li's mother said: "Fugui, are you hungry? I'll make you and your friend a bowl of dumplings. I just made them this morning, made with beef and green onions."
After saying that, he gently broke away from Zhang Fugui and walked out the door.
Seeing this, Zhang Fugui had no choice but to say, "Mother Li, you go and do your work first."
Li Rongguan left the office with a smile.
"Dean Li, what's going on? Did something happen in our hospital? Don't hide it from me." Zhang Fugui asked.
Dean Li was still very sure and said: "What could happen? You kid, why do you seem to be expecting something to happen?"
After speaking, he turned to look at Guan Yu, looked up and down, and saw the man in front of him wearing a straw hat and shorts, with a face like Guan Gong.
After all, he was well-informed, so he confidently asked: "If I'm not mistaken, you are engaged in art."
Guan Yu didn't understand what he meant, so he looked at Zhang Fugui and asked for help.
Zhang Fugui said quickly: "Second brother is actually doing some small business with me."
"Small business? What kind of business can you do, and where do you get the capital?" Dean Li asked doubtfully.
Zhang Fugui had an idea and said bravely: "We recycle old products, and the cost is not particularly high."
No, it is indeed an old product, but it is too old. It is almost a national treasure-level cultural relic.
Zhang Fugui thought of the golden seal of Mr. Guan, but did not dare to tell the truth.
Dean Li nodded and said with great satisfaction: "Well, I am a little tired, but it is also a good way to rely on one's own efforts and do a good job."
After Dean Li finished speaking, Zhang Fugui took out four stacks of banknotes from his body.
Exactly 40,000 yuan.
Zhang Fugui put the money on the table and said to Dean Li: "Dean, please accept this money first."
Dean Li looked at Zhang Fugui in surprise, and then at Qian.
He smiled and said: "Is recycling old things so profitable now?"
Zhang Fugui grinned and replied: "I went to the bank to rob this in the morning. It's interesting."
"Put me down, you're just robbing a bank, and you don't even know which way the bank door opens."
Dean Li knows Zhang Fugui well. Although this kid is incompetent in literature and martial arts, he definitely doesn't have any bad intentions.
If you let him go to the street to look at beautiful women, he can stand there all day long without getting tired.
But if you ask him to act like a hooligan, the kid himself will have to blush first.
Zhang Fugui did not refute what Dean Li said, but pointed to Guan Yu and explained to Dean Li: "I have made a big deal with my second brother in the past two days. This money is to honor you and Mother Li."
After listening to Zhang Fugui's words, Dean Li picked up the money on the table, picked it up in piles, fiddled with it with his hands, and then put it under his nose and smelled it.
Finally, he pushed the money back to Zhang Fugui and said, "Keep it for yourself. You are not young anymore and you have to think about the future. Your mother Li and I have a salary, so you don't have to worry."
"No, I still have some over there. If you don't like it, I'll get you some more." Zhang Fugui said with a smile.
Dean Li turned a deaf ear to Zhang Fugui's answer.
"De Xing, why don't you say you are a millionaire? Come on, I accept your offer and you can take the money back."
Dean Li stated his attitude and it cannot be changed.
After he finished speaking, he took Guan Yu's hand and said, "In the future, I have to ask you to take more care of Fugui. This boy's life has been bad since he was born. If he makes any mistakes, you should take more care of him."
After saying that, he stood up and bowed to Guan Yu.
Guan Yu quickly helped Dean Li up, then looked at Zhang Fugui, indicating that something was definitely going on.
Before Zhang Fugui opened his mouth to speak, Dean Li said first: "Fugui, you have been in our orphanage for more than twenty years. You know the rules of our orphanage. We will never recognize the children you take out."
It turns out that since the establishment of this orphanage, it has set a rule that any child who is adopted will not be contacted by the orphanage unless there are legal issues.
This is done firstly to follow the original intention of not repaying kindness, secondly to reassure the parents who come to adopt, and thirdly to try not to affect the growth of the child as much as possible.
So over the years, none of the adopted children have come back.
It also means that every childhood playmate of Zhang Fugui eventually left him.
Zhang Fugui heard what the dean said at this time and knew that there was something in his words, so he asked: "I know this, what's the matter?"
Dean Li was silent for a long time, and then said tremblingly: "Since you know, you also know... Although you have not been taken away, but... you have grown up, so you don't have to do it again in the future.
Back."
The last few words seemed to exhaust all Dean Li's energy.
After he finished speaking, he sat back on the chair, picked up the tea cup, and used the gesture of drinking tea to cover up his inner feelings at this time.
But he didn't notice that the cup of tea had actually bottomed out long ago, leaving only the last layer of the most bitter and thick tea.
Zhang Fugui's face was full of disbelief at this time, and he said: "Stop making trouble, Dean Li, you have to have a certain temper when joking."
It's just that his voice has become a little hoarse.
It can be seen that he is trying hard to control his emotions.
Dean Li did not reply and just continued to pretend to drink tea.
The joyful scene a moment ago had now become extremely weird. Guan Yu didn't know what to say, so he had to push Zhang Fugui back to his seat first.
After a while, Li Rong came in carrying two large bowls of dumplings.
He placed the dumplings in front of Guan Yu and Zhang Fugui respectively, and urged softly: "Eat it while it's hot. If you don't have enough of your favorite beef balls, tell me there's still more in the pot."
Dumplings to give away, noodles to welcome the new year.
