Chapter 55: Zhu Yan? Zhu Yan?(2/2)

Zhu Yan handed the bunch of helping flowers to the old man, and the old man hurriedly raised his hand to pick it up.

"Thank you... Thank you..." After taking the flower, the old man seemed very happy. He said thank you several times to Zhu Yan, then turned to the room and shouted: "Leilei! Come out quickly! Someone is giving you a birthday gift!"

A second or two later, the sound of the door being opened with a twisted handle came from the room, followed by a little boy's cheer: "Grandma, I'm here!"

"Dadada..."

A twelve or thirteen-year-old boy with thick eyes and thin body ran to the door with excitement. When he saw Zhu Yan, he immediately cheered and rushed towards him: "Brother Zhu Yan!"

"Hey--!" Zhu Yan bent down and spread his arms, hugged the boy, and smiled and said, "Okay, Xiaolei, it's much heavier than last time. It seems that you are getting bigger!"

Putting the boy called "Xiao Lei" on the ground, Zhu Yan pointed Lu Mingfei and said to Xiao Lei: "This big brother is Lu Mingfei."

"Hello Brother Lu Mingfei!"

The little boy immediately said hello obediently.

"Hello!" Lu Mingfei squatted down and greeted the little boy, "Xiao Lei, right? Today should be your birthday, right? Happy birthday to you!"

"Thank you, brother!" Xiaolei responded happily, "My full name is Zhou Yunlei!"

"Zhou Yunlei... This name is really good."

"This... Xiaolei, do you know this gentleman?"

The old man who was called grandma by Xiaolei seemed to have not reacted to the situation and asked his grandson.

"Well! Grandma, Brother Zhu Yan is the employee of the store I told you that I often take after school!"

"This...oh..." The old man showed a sudden look on his face. She hurriedly thanked Zhu Yan, "Sir, thank you! Thank you for letting my grandson stay in your store to study every day..."

"It's okay, Xiaolei is such a cute child, staying here just makes us attract customers," Zhu Yan waved his hand, "Besides, we opened a coffee shop, just letting customers come in and sit. What's the thanks to this..."

"Then this flower..."

"It was given by our boss!" Zhu Yan replied, "This was given by her privately. Xiaolei has been in our store for several months. It is normal for him to give him a bouquet of flowers on his birthday."

"This is not possible, this is not possible. This child has been troubled by you for several months. How can you still make your birthday spend money..." The old man immediately took out his wallet from his body, "How much does it cost..."

"It's not much money, grandma, don't give it to you. Our store sells flowers at the cost price, but it's not much money."

Zhu Yan immediately stopped her.

After a "fight", Zhu Yan persuaded the old man who insisted on giving money.

"Leilei! Say thank you quickly!"

The old man called Leilei, who was chatting with Lu Mingfei, over again.

"Thank you, Brother Zhu Yan, and I'll have to say thank you to Sister Yueyan for me!"

"Yeah! OK!" Zhu Yan nodded, "How are your recent grades?"

"Chinese language is ninety-nine, mathematics is one hundred, English is sixty-sixty, science is only one point away from the full score of sixty!"

Leilei raised his chest with a proud look on his face.

"Awesome!" Zhu Yan's big hand fell on Leilei's head and rubbed his hair. "Do you know what the bouquet of flowers that Sister Yueyan gave you is of the meaning?"

"Um...I don't know..."

Leilei shook his head.

"This bouquet of flowers is called Fulanghua, which blooms towards the sun like sunflowers, so it is also called sunflowers."

"Oh! I understand! I will work hard to move upward towards the sun every day like sunflowers and fulanghuas!"

"Yes! Xiaolei is awesome!"

...

"Sir, thank you for taking care of our children. I'm really troubled you..."

Leilei stayed outside the house for a while before going back to study. The old man wanted to invite Zhu Yan and Lu Mingfei in for a while, but Zhu Yan declined it on the grounds that there were still flowers to send.

"It's okay," Zhu Yan waved his hand, "But grandma, there's something I want to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

"You just opened the door so casually. You opened it without waiting for me to reply. Now there are many bad people. There are only two of you, your grandparents and grandchildren at home. If something happens..."

"Don't worry, old lady, I'm not old enough to be unclear. I saw you in the eyes of the cat that you don't look like a bad person, so I opened the door for you."

"This bad guy won't write the word bad guy on his face." Zhu Yan pointed to the scar on his forehead, "And do you really think I don't look like a bad guy?"

"Young man, you have a good face. You look like a good person at first sight. You can't make any mistakes..."

...

At the entrance of the residential building in the community, Zhu Yan threw the black garbage bag full of it into the trash can.

"Tsk... This is a bit magical... I'm a little confused..."

Lu Mingfei complained.

"Simply put, the child was named Zhou Yunlei just now. His family was not in good condition. His parents divorced and he was awarded his mother. However, the woman had no education and had to work hard to raise the child. She asked her mother, Xiaolei's grandmother, to take care of the child."

"Then what does he have to do with your store?"

"We run a milk tea shop, which happens to be near the school. The child's mother is busy with work and works overtime all day long. Her grandma is inconvenient to legs and feet. Every time after school, we ask him to stay in the shop until his mother comes to pick her up."

After a pause, Zhu Yan added: "This child can basically study as long as he stays. It can be said that he is quite diligent."

"Where is that flower?"

"My boss gave it to you privately. Xiaolei's family is not in good condition and doesn't have many friends, but for his birthday, he always needs a gift, right?"

"Is the birthday card you put in that bouquet of flowers?"

"Well, I wrote it with my boss."

"Your boss is such a good person..."

Lu Mingfei gave sincere praise.

"Ha... I'm just a stupid girl with a lot of money, but she's really cute. There are a few bouquets of flowers in the box, which she wants to give to others. Do you still want to follow me to deliver?"

Zhu Yan patted the box on the back seat of the car and asked Lu Mingfei.

"Of course, I'm not in a hurry." Lu Mingfei walked to Zhu Yan, "But then again, is it really good that you complain so directly and blatantly that your boss is a silly girl? Are you not afraid that she will fire you?"
