Enron to the East

An Yu first took the two repairmen to see things, Zhuo Weidong waited alone in the yard.

The children looked at this stranger curiously, and they were a little afraid to get together. Only Xiaoxiu, who was usually not talkative, approached him quietly.

"Uncle, are you brother's friend?"

Feeling the corner of his clothes being pulled, Zhuo Weidong saw the thin boy standing behind him.

His intuition told him that the elder brother mentioned by the boy was An Yu, but how could he become an uncle.

He knelt down and pointed at himself: "Little friend, do I look much older than your brother?"

Xiaoxiu was stunned by the question, turned her head to look at An Yu who was talking to the maintenance master in the corner, then looked at the adult in front of her, tilted her head and thought for a while: "You are not old, but you are an uncle!"

Zhuo Weidong's head was full of black lines, and when he was about to speak, an old man's voice came from behind him: "The children are used to being called Brother Ayu, don't mind."

He turned his head and saw a woman with gray hair.Guessing that the person in front of him might be the person in charge of the orphanage, he stood up and said hello: "Hi, I'm An Yu's friend, and my name is Zhuo Weidong."

Dean Hong smiled kindly: "Hi, hello, I'm Hong Guixiu, the dean here. This is the first time for this child, Ayu, to bring friends here."

Zhuo Weidong was a little surprised by these words, and he grinned brightly.

"Ayu has a heart. I didn't even think about repairing these things, but he noticed."

Zhuo Weidong hesitated, and asked, "Has An Yu lived here since he was a child?"

The question was tactful, but Dean Hong understood it.She asked in surprise: "Why, didn't Ah Yu tell you?"

"An Yu doesn't talk about his own affairs."

After speaking, he seemed to feel uncomfortable, so he hesitated and said, "Sorry, shouldn't I ask?"

Dean Hong shook his head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, Ah Yu doesn't mind my background. You are the first friend he brings, and he cares about you very much."

As she spoke, her eyes became distant, as if recalling.

An Yu was placed at the gate of Xiangyang Orphanage when he was only a few months old. Hong Guixiu, who was not the director at that time, found him early in the morning.

Later, people from the orphanage went to the police station to report the case, but unfortunately there was no surveillance at that time, and the time when the child was abandoned was in the early morning, and there were no witnesses at all, so everyone decided to keep the child after discussion.

"We named him An Yu, and we also hope that he can grow up safely and smoothly, and that he will be healthy and prosperous in the future."

Dean Hong smiled, "Ayu himself is up to the task, he never let us worry about it, now he lives well, and often helps the orphanage."

When he was a child, An Yu looked thin and frail, and he looked soft-tempered with delicate features, but he actually had a lot of ideas in his heart.

Because of his outstanding appearance, many people who came to the orphanage to adopt children at that time liked him, but he just refused to follow him, and as time passed, no one was willing to consider him anymore.

In order to reduce the burden on the orphanage, he went to work illegally when he was fourteen or fifteen years old. He never spent money from the orphanage from high school to college.

Sometimes Dean Hong thinks about it, what she provided An Yu was just a shelter from the wind and rain, but he never forgot the kindness of the orphanage.

Zhuo Weidong stared at the thin young man surrounded by children, slightly moved.

Feeling his gaze, An Yu raised his head and looked back, with a gentle smile on his lips when facing the children.

Zhuo Weidong was stunned, all his senses were occupied at this moment, and he saw nothing in his eyes except the smiling person.His heart was beating like a drum, and as the man got closer and closer, his figure continued to grow in size.

An Yu was stared at by his fiery eyes, and panicked in his heart.He forced himself to be calm, raised his hand and waved in front of the other party's eyes: "I'm back to my senses."

It's embarrassing to watch people lose their minds.Zhuo Weidong smiled a little embarrassedly, trying to divert the other party's attention: "You and the children have such a good relationship."

In the small yard, the children chased and played, their immature faces were full of innocence.

An Yu's gaze was soft, revealing a gentle look that made Zhuo Weidong's heart beat endlessly.Unavoidably losing his composure again, he coughed lightly and looked away, but he didn't know that this scene was caught by Dean Hong next to him.

She looked at Zhuo Weidong carefully, then nodded secretly.

"Ayu, you haven't officially introduced this gentleman to me yet."

"Ah, I'm sorry." An Yu pulled Zhuo Weidong up and approached Dean Hong: "Mother Hong, this is my friend Zhuo Weidong, he is an excellent lawyer."

Dean Hong looked at the two with a smile: "Actually, we have just met."

Seeing An Yu was slightly surprised, he said again: "You have never brought friends here, so of course I need to get to know them better."

Since Zhuo Weidong himself asked for help, An Yu naturally would not be polite, and took advantage of the fact that the sun was still not high, and dragged him to clean the inside and outside of the house.

Poor Lawyer Zhuo couldn't even clean up his own home, but he insisted on keeping the orphanage in order.

When it was almost lunch time, Dean Hong asked the two to stay for dinner, but An Yu promised Xiaoxiu to take him out to buy books.Dean Hong remembered Xiaoxiu's birthday in a few days, so he let them go.

Before leaving, An Yu was dragged into the room by Dean Hong and muttered for a while, and when he came out and saw Zhuo Weidong who was teasing Xiaoxiu, a strange look flashed across his face quickly.

Because both of them drove the car, when Zhuo Weidong saw An Yu hugging Xiaoxiu intimately and bringing him into the car, he couldn't help but began to envy the skinny little boy.He couldn't see such a gentle look along the way!

The speed of going back was very fast, and I took Xiaoxiu to have dinner in time for lunch.

Regardless of Xiaoxiu's young age, he is a small book fan. He has read a lot of books since he started to read, and he has read more than half of the books in the small room in the orphanage.

No, he couldn't move as soon as he got to the bookstore.An Yu followed behind him funny and distressed, giving advice to the little guy from time to time, even Zhuo Weidong quietly left halfway without noticing.

By the time the little guy said he had chosen it, it had been more than two hours since he entered the bookstore.

Only then did An Yu realize that there were fewer people, and he searched left and right but did not see anyone, so he made a phone call.

"I'm at the door, you guys just come out." The person on the other end of the phone said.

An Yu led Xiaoxiu towards the door, and found that the crowd outside gathered in twos and threes, as if they were looking at someone.

"surprise!"

Passing over the people blocking the door, the besieged person was finally revealed.The man was dressed in a well-tailored suit. He was handsome, upright and extraordinary. What didn't match him was the cake in his hand.Perhaps it was because of this that it aroused the crowd's attention.

Zhuo Weidong's tall body stood in the crowd, holding the very miniature cake, smiling brightly at the two who had just come out.

"cake!"

Xiaoxiu ran over in surprise, pulled Zhuo Weidong by the corner of his clothes and looked up, shyly in excitement: "Uncle, did you buy the cake for me?"

Zhuo Weidong bent down and handed him the cake, patted his head: "Little guy, happy birthday!"

Xiaoxiu smiled, and said in a crisp voice, "Thank you uncle."

Zhuo Weidong patted his head again, coaxing him: "Good boy, call me brother."

"But you are an uncle."

The little guy tilted his head and thought for a while, and still called him uncle.

An Yu burst out laughing.Originally, he looked at Wen, one big and one small;

Xin's interaction felt warm and swollen, but the little guy's words made him laugh.

Zhuo Weidong gave him a helpless look, and continued to coax the little guy: "Hey, I'll give you a big surprise when I call you brother, okay?"

Xiaoxiu blinked, with a troubled expression on her face, she couldn't help turning her head to An Yu, seeing the latter nodding, she obediently called "Brother".

Zhuo Weidong was happy now, and readily took out the chinchilla hidden behind him.The Totoro doll was not big, so it was well hidden by Zhuo Weidong, but half of his body was covered by Xiaoxiu's embrace.

An Yu was a little surprised, but when he realized it, he was slightly moved.This chinchilla was clearly the one that Xiaoxiu had glanced at several times when passing by.

"Thank you brother!" Xiaoxiu cried out willingly this time.

It was still early, and it was rare for Xiaoxiu to come out once, so the two simply took him for a walk around.

The little guy was bouncing in front, and the two adults followed slowly behind.

"I've never seen Xiaoxiu so lively."

"Thank you." An Yu glanced sideways at the person beside him, with gratitude in his eyes.

"Thank you, this is a little guy who hurts people." Zhuo Weidong looked at him with a smile on his face, "Just like you."

Really, thank you can also be molested.An Yu glared at him speechlessly.

After walking not far, Xiaoxiu stopped suddenly.An Yu took two steps forward to ask, pointing to a begging man a few steps ahead, and asked in a muffled voice: "Brother, can we help him?"

Zhuo Weidong noticed that the little guy used "can you help" instead of "go to help". I don't know if he was thinking too much, but he always felt that the emotions in it were cautious, restless, questioning and judgment.

An Yu looked in the direction he was pointing. The begging man was about 40 years old. He was not disabled. He just sat on the ground with a numb expression. It is because the family is in difficulty and asks kind people for help, etc.

He patted the little guy's head, with a gentle smile on his lips: "Do you think Xiaoxiu can help?"

The little guy seemed to be very distressed about this problem. He frowned and thought for a long time, then squeezed his fist as if he had made a decision: "We will only help him once, and we won't help him in the future. He has to rely on himself!"

When he saw An Yu nodding, he handed the Totoro into An Yu's hands, ran towards the man, and pulled out the small purse that he had been hanging around his neck.

Zhuo Weidong took two steps forward and stood side by side with An Yu, watching the skinny boy carefully take out a stack of money from the simple purse.

The money is wrinkled, ranging from fifty cents to one yuan.He squatted down and put the money in the bowl, looked up at the person, and said with a clear and crisp voice that is unique to children, "I helped you, but you have to rely on yourself in the future!"

Later, when Zhuo Weidong recalled this incident, he tried hard to think about the expression of that begging man at that time, maybe it was astonishment, or maybe it was the same numbness as before, he couldn't remember clearly.

At that time, all he could see was the smiling and sad side face when he watched the little boy do what he believed.
