Lin Xun glanced at the stool that Grandpa Lu handed over, but did not sit down.
Instead, he followed him involuntarily and slowly came to the slightly old tile house.
As soon as he stepped into the tile house, he saw a lamp emitting a faint yellow light. In the middle of the house,
A large stove was particularly eye-catching, with a huge iron pot placed steadily on it, and the pot lid was tightly covered.
A stream of hot air was constantly coming out from the gap of the pot lid, curling up.
Grandpa Lu stood aside, grabbed a handful of dead wood in his hand, and gently threw it into the fire under the stove, and a "crackling" sound came.
"How is it? Are you living well in Haipu City?"
Grandpa Lu showed a kind smile, chatting with Lin Xun while burning the fire.
"It's okay." Lin Xun nodded.
"Really? That's good... I see you look very bad, why did you come back so early? Did you not rest well?"
Throwing the last piece of dead wood in his hand into the stove, Grandpa Lu stood up and looked at Lin Xun.
"You are so young, but your hair is so white. You must be working too hard, right?"
"Oh, by the way, come with me. I have a gift for you."
Suddenly, Grandpa Lu seemed to remember something, his face lit up, and he hurriedly pulled Lin Xun to the next room.
"Gift? What gift?" Lin Xun was stunned.
Soon, Grandpa Lu rummaged in the cabinet in the room for a long time and took out a rolled-up paper from it.
"Here, open it and see for yourself."
"What is this?"
Lin Xun took the paper in his hand and opened it.
There was a painting inside.
In the center of the painting, the extremely vivid character was Lin Xun.
Around Lin Xun, there are seven lively and lovely children. Some of them have bright smiles, and some look focused, as if they are having an interesting interaction with Lin Xun.
The background of this painting is the small courtyard full of warmth and memories. Every plant and tree in the courtyard is delicately depicted, as if people can feel the gentle breeze and the tranquility of the years.
"Qiqi, Yueyue, Xiao Nuomi, Tiantian..."
"Is this what they drew?"
Lin Xun looked at the characters on the screen with doubt. Each of them has different personality characteristics. Some are well drawn, and some are crooked, full of childish and clumsy fun.
There are not many children in the orphanage, only 7 in total, and the oldest is only twelve or thirteen years old. They are all children who are not wanted nearby.
It can be seen that each character in the painting was drawn by themselves, so the style of each character is different.
Lin Xun smiled as he looked at it.
Although this painting is not particularly professional, it is a special gift for Lin Xun.
"But, Grandpa Lu, why did you give me a gift?" Lin Xun was very puzzled.
"Child, have you forgotten? Tomorrow is your birthday!"
Grandpa Lu looked at Lin Xun in surprise.
"You kid, don't you even remember your birthday?"
"Tomorrow... is my birthday?"
Lin Xun was shocked when he heard this. He really didn't know.
At that time, grandma regarded the day when she picked up Lin Xun as Lin Xun's birthday.
When grandma was still alive, she would always remind him in advance. Now that grandma is gone, he almost forgot his birthday. Unexpectedly, there are still people here who remember his birthday. A warm current surged in his heart.
"Yes, look, you have forgotten it yourself because you are busy, right? These little ones remember it clearly. They marked your birthday on the calendar and started preparing gifts for you a month in advance."
"They thought about it for a long time and decided to give you a painting." Grandpa Lu smiled when he said this.
"I should have given it to you on your birthday, but I know you won't be here for long, so I'll give it to you in advance."
"Who drew the 'I' in the middle?"
Lin Xun pointed at himself in the middle and asked.
"Haha, this is what I drew. How is it? Not bad, right?"
Lin Xun nodded. Grandpa Lu's drawing was indeed good. You can tell at a glance that it was him, much better than other children's drawings.
"That's not right. How did Qiqi draw it?"
Qiqi's right thumb was born missing.
But there is his shadow in the painting.
When mentioning Qiqi, Grandpa Lu's face showed a trace of relief.
"Qiqi has always remembered what you said, that he should learn to write by himself. After you left, he has been practicing writing with his left hand. At first, he was very unfamiliar, but the child worked very hard and practiced from early in life.At night, writing and drawing with the left hand is not a problem at all. "
"So that's how it is..."
"This child is great, he really learned it..."
"Grandpa Lu... What a delicious smell! What did you make for breakfast this morning?"
A childish voice came from outside the house.
A little girl ran into the house with the childish voice.
The little girl looked about seven or eight years old, and her thin body looked particularly thin. Her hair was a little dry and messy, scattered on her shoulders casually. There was a little dust on her face, but her big eyes were bright and clear, like two black gems.
She was wearing a shabby dress, full of patches, and the color had long faded. She was wearing a pair of old cloth shoes that didn't fit her feet, and the edges of the shoes were worn out.
"Ah! It's Brother Xun! Brother Xun is back! "
Seeing Lin Xun, the little girl suddenly became excited, and hurried to Lin Xun's feet and held his trouser legs tightly with both hands.
Lin Xun also showed a warm smile when he saw the little girl, and then Lin Xun squatted beside the little girl and scratched her nose with his fingers.
"Yueyue, have you been obedient during this period?"
The little girl blinked her big eyes, looked at Lin Xun and nodded solemnly.
"Brother Xun, I have always been serious and obedient. I go to the nearby area with Brother Xiaoqiang every morning to pick up firewood for burning, and I have recently learned to farm. By the way, Brother Xun, come with me!"
Speaking, Yueyue pulled Lin Xun to the corner of the small yard.
Here is a vegetable field, and the vegetables in it are green and lush.
"Brother Xun, look, I planted all the vegetables here! Hehe..."
Yueyue's face was filled with a proud smile, and two cute little tiger teeth were inadvertently exposed.
"Wow, Yueyue is so great! Then Brother Xun must reward you! "
Suddenly, Lin Xun appeared with a lollipop in his hand, as if by magic.
"Is this for me?!" Yueyue was delighted.
"Of course, Yueyue is so great that she deserves a reward!" Lin Xun nodded.
"Yeah yeah yeah, thank you, brother Xun! They are still sleeping, I'll go wake them up! "
Yueyue stuffed the lollipop into the outer pocket of her worn-out clothes, and then ran into another small tiled house with a happy pace.
Lin Xun stood up and looked at Yueyue's back as she left, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. Although these children live a hard life, they are full of hope and vitality. They try to live in their own way. Lin Xun looked at the painting in his hand again. This painting seems to be more than just a painting, but also the children's love and expectations for him.
He remembered the scene when he first came here.
At that time, he was only a teenager, and this orphanage had just been established. Accompanied by his grandmother, he came here.
Although this orphanage is shabby, it is full of warmth. Grandpa Lu takes care of these children with his kindness and love, giving them a home in this world.
At that time, Lin Xun looked at these orphans, as if he saw his former self. At that time, Lin Xun secretly swore in his heart that he must do his best to make them live as well as possible.
Time flies so fast, and another ten years have passed in a blink of an eye.
He came with his grandmother that year, but now he is the only one left.
