Chapter 283: Memories of the old dean! (5,000 words long chapter)
Seeing that his task had been completed, Teacher Hong didn't want to disturb him here, so he simply smiled and said: "Old Dean, please take your time and chat, then I will go to work first."
"Well, you go and do your work first." The old dean nodded and said.
"Mr. Huang, you guys chat, I'll leave first." When Teacher Hong turned around to leave, she smiled at Huang Fei again and said.
"Teacher Lao Hong." Huang Fei thanked him with a smile.
"You're welcome."
Finally, Teacher Hong said something to Yan again before walking out of the room and leaving.
After Teacher Hong left, the old dean looked back at Huang Fei and laughed happily: "People say that naughty children are very smart. Looking at you now, I know that you are doing well!"
"If it hadn't been for the dean taking me in, I don't know what I would be like now." Huang Fei said gratefully. "You are still old and strong now, even better than you were then!"
"Your mouth has become sweeter now." The old dean patted Huang Fei's shoulder again and laughed. "Not bad, not bad."
He said two things in a row that were good. It can be imagined that he was very pleased with Huang Fei's growth.
The child who gave him a lot of headaches back then has grown up, and is now so humble and polite, and knows how to repay gratitude, which comforts him.
In fact, he had noticed very early that Huang Fei had a good heart. And most of the bad things he did were done for others, but he had to punish him.
Because a child doesn't know how to distinguish right from wrong, he always follows his own preferences. In this way, over time he will go astray, and by then it will be too late to turn back.
Although punishing him will make him feel wronged, it is necessary to let him know what kind of things can be done and what kinds of things cannot be done.
Before children have developed a sense of right and wrong, let them know that people must be punished if they do something wrong, and that you don't have to use extreme methods to help others.
"Old Dean, I also brought someone to see you." Huang Fei said with a smile.
"Look, look, I forgot about it when I was so happy." The old dean patted his forehead and laughed apologetically. "You haven't even introduced who this little girl is?"
There have been so many changes over the years that he didn't recognize Yan at all. He just thought she was a strange girl. Although Teacher Hong just introduced her as a child he had taken care of before, he could not see any familiar outline of this girl.
It turns out that women are changing every year.
"Yan'er." Huang Fei turned around and smiled at Yan. "Come and meet the dean. He loved you very much back then."
"Hello, old dean." Yan greeted politely. But his eyes and expression were a little strange, as if he was greeting someone he didn't know.
This can't be blamed on her. Although she came to the place where she had stayed before, she didn't feel familiar at all, as if she was in a completely unfamiliar place. Even when she saw the old dean, her mood did not change much.
I think he is just a kind and approachable old man.
"Are you the little girl who was following Huang Fei all the time?" the old dean said in surprise. He carefully looked up and down at Yan, who had completely transformed into a peerless beauty.
"..." Yan silently smiled and nodded, and glanced at Huang Fei quietly. In fact, she didn't know how to answer this question, because she had no memory of that time, and she couldn't be too rude, so she had to keep silent and smile.
right.
When the old dean saw how elegant Yan Chu was, he couldn't help but shake his head again and said with emotion: "Time flies like water, and it's not the same as before. I really can't bear to accept old age."
"Come, let's sit and chat." The old dean pointed sideways at the wooden sofa and invited.
"Thank you, old dean." Huang Fei and Yan thanked them at the same time.
Then the three of them walked to the sofa and sat down together.
This is a set of exquisite wooden sofas, divided into two sides in an L shape. The longer one is placed on the wider wall, and the sofa on the other side is placed by the window.
Huang Fei and Yan Tong sat on the couch, and the old dean sat on the duplex sofa next to them.
"What business did you come to see me for today?" the old dean was the first to ask. He went to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, and he knew that these young people must have something they wanted.
"Old Dean," Huang Fei said. "Actually, the reason for coming here this time is entirely for Yan'er. For some reason, she has lost her past memory, so I brought her here just to let her experience the past again.
And you have known us since we were very young. I want her to know more about the things that related to our first acquaintance, so I came to trouble you."
When the old dean heard that Yan had lost his memory, he was shocked and asked with concern: "Girl Yan, are you okay? How could such a thing happen?"
"I'm fine. Thank you, old dean, for caring." Yan said gratefully. On the surface, she pretended to be fine, but in fact, she was agitated inside and was not as calm as she appeared.
Huang Fei turned to look at her, gently held one of her hands, smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, no matter what, I will hold on to you tightly."
"..." Yan looked at Huang Fei's affectionate confession and could only smile silently and nodded gently.
"Old Dean, I wonder if there are any photos of us together back then. Could you let us take a look?" Huang Fei asked solicitously. "There are also some things that happened when we first came here. Can you also take a look at us?"
What do you want to say?"
"It's a coincidence." The old dean said with a smile. "Today someone came to look for a child from many years ago and specially called me over. That child happened to be in the same issue as you, so the information and photos are still there.
It’s on the desk, I’ll show it to you right now.”
"Wait a minute." The old dean said as he stood up and walked to his desk.
"Excuse me, old dean." Huang Fei thanked him. This is a good sign. It seems that everything went smoothly today and he was very lucky.
Originally, the old dean had retired and rested at home, so it was difficult for Huang Fei and the others to meet him. However, they happened to meet him here to do something when they first arrived. And he happened to be dealing with the same group of children. This cannot but be said that everything was very interesting.
What a coincidence.
Soon, the old dean came over holding a large notebook, flipped through the information inside, and sat down.
He flipped through it for a while and finally found the photo he needed. Then he put the record book on the table, pointed at the photo and said, "Look, these are the children of your batch who were all here."
Huang Fei and Yan also moved their bodies to look at the slightly yellowed photo on the table...
Old home. {. Lawn. Green trees. Children.
This is the first impression the photo gives.
The background is the old home of that year. A group of children are standing on the spacious lawn, neatly arranged in three rows, with the teacher and the old dean standing on both sides.
There were more than twenty boys and girls aged five or six years old, and the expressions on their faces were really colorful and varied. Some were confused, some were serious, some were laughing, and some had their eyes closed...
"Can you still find yourselves in it?" The old dean sat aside and asked with interest.
Huang Fei excluded all the girls and adults, glanced at the faces of every little boy, and soon found a very familiar child among them. He pointed at the photo and said, "I think this is me?
"
It was a little kid sticking out his tongue and raising two fingers in a victory pose. He looked very naughty.
"It seems that you still have some impression of yourself." The old dean said with a smile.
"The one on the left with a big smile and two pigtails must be Leng Xue, and the one with a bright smile on the right must be Yan'er?" Huang Fei said with a smile.
Huang Fei pointed like this, and Yan looked over curiously. Sure enough, standing next to the funny little boy was a little girl with her head tilted and smiling very happily.
"Yan'er was a beauty when she was young." Huang Fei joked with a smile.
"..." Yan rolled her eyes at Huang Fei and said nothing. She lowered her head again and continued to look at the childish little face in the photo. A familiar yet unfamiliar feeling came to her heart.
"Old Dean." Huang Fei stood up and sat up straight, looked at the old Dean and asked, "How did Yan get here back then, do you still remember?"
"I'll think about it seriously." The old dean raised his head and squinted his eyes and began to think. After a long pause, he turned back and said, "I remembered it. An old friend brought Yan girl to me. He said at that time
We met at the train station, but we couldn’t find the child’s parents for a long time, so in the end we had no choice but to let her live with me. Yan Yatou was about 3 years old at that time. I thought maybe her parents had encountered something unpredictable at that time.
?Otherwise there is no reason to abandon the child."
He was afraid that Yan would be sad, so he gave this more acceptable reason.
In fact, there are only three types of so-called orphans.
Family members are separated. Abandoned by family members. Family members are killed.
Compared with the first two, if a family member encounters a disaster and both of them are deceased, this reason is at least easier to accept than the first two.
Because the first two have reasons for resentment, only the death of a family member is full of helpless sadness.
Lost? Why don't you look for me?
Abandoned? Then why did you give birth to me in the first place?
Of course, in fact, none of the three is completely acceptable, and they are all very sad.
It had been many years since Yan had cared about this problem, but when she heard that she had lost her parents at such a young age, her heart was deeply hurt.
No one in the world can truly ignore the existence of family affection, even a cruel and vicious person, deep down in his heart longs for the affection of his family.
"You and I, I am your family."
Just when Yan became confused and depressed, a warm warmth came from her hand. It was Huang Fei who held the back of her hand tightly and comforted her.
Yan's disappointed mood was slightly comforted. She forced out a smile and said, "I'm fine."
"Child, please listen to me." In order to encourage Yan to be strong, the old dean said meaningfully: "The past is past. The most important thing in life is to live in the present. Do you understand what I mean?"
"..."
Seeing that Yan didn't seem to understand what he meant, the old dean continued to explain: "The past is like smoke and floating clouds. Live in the present, cherish the present. Let go of all psychological burdens and live happily in this moment. Live in the present.
The present means no worries and no regrets. You don’t needlessly imagine and worry about what will happen in the future, so you are worry-free; you don’t needlessly think about and care about the gains and losses of what has happened in the past, so you have no regrets. People can be worry-free.
Live in the present moment regretfully, joyfully and unencumbered by all that arises from the heart.”
"We only have one life, and time is our greatest wealth. The only time we have is the present. With the present, we also have the past and the future. Do you understand?"
"Live in the present. Cherish the present and cherish the future." Yan lowered her head and murmured to herself. She suddenly seemed to understand something.
Since what has been lost is irretrievable, why bother worrying about an illusory dream now?
Now is the time to let go of everything, take every moment seriously, and cherish everything you have now.
Even if tomorrow is the end of the world, so what?
Hasn’t all this come yet?
Since you still have the present, you should cherish it.
"Thank you, old dean." Yan looked up at the old dean with a smile and sincerely thanked him. "I understand what should be done."
"As long as you understand, that's good." The old dean nodded happily and said, "You girl, you are more sensible and reasonable than when you were a child."
Seeing Yan's relieved smile, Huang Fei couldn't help but relax and laugh.
"Old Dean, I want to hear what happened when Yan'er and I first met. Do you still remember it?" Huang Fei asked with a smile.
"Remember, it will be unforgettable for a lifetime!" The old dean patted his knees, with a helpless smile on his face. "That day was a nightmare for me. Because you caused me so much trouble on the first day you came here.
Less trouble!"
"Really?" Huang Fei smiled awkwardly. It seemed that his mischievous temperament was clearly revealed on the first day he entered the orphanage.
"That happened a year after Yan Yatou came."
The old dean said while recalling: "I still remember that day after I took you over from that strange man, I took you to meet the children in the hospital. At that time, you didn't say a word and were always cold.
You put on a face, and you didn’t say anything when I asked you, as if there was something unhappy about you.”
"I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, because basically every child who came to the orphanage looked like that, and they were used to it. As long as they were enlightened after a period of time, their mood would improve."
"However, what I never expected was that when I brought you to the classroom to meet everyone, you got into a fight with your new friend out of anger."
"Ah?" Huang Fei was surprised. "Old Dean, are you going off topic?"
He didn't understand what it meant. Wasn't he going to talk about his meeting with Yan?
Why did you suddenly talk about fighting with others?
"You little brat. I haven't finished speaking yet!" The old dean glared at Huang Fei angrily. Why is this kid still so young? I even praised him before, but now he can't stand still?
"Sorry, sorry. Keep talking, keep talking. Hahaha..." Huang Fei was so frightened that he quickly raised his hands to apologize, smiling and pretending to be stupid.
The old dean rolled his eyes at Huang Fei and continued: "At that time, I was introducing you to others on the podium, but you suddenly shouted 'Ling' and then ran towards Yan Yatou sitting in front of you.
, and you grabbed her hand very excitedly and didn’t let go. At that time, Yan Yatou was so scared that you cried. I was also fooled by your actions."
"An older male classmate next to you couldn't understand what you were doing, so he went up to persuade you to let go of your hands. As a result, we started to fight after pushing and shoving. You gave me a very bad impression at that time. Yan Yatou grew up when she was a child.
It's good to be lovable, but how can someone like you learn to eat other girls' tofu at a young age, or do you have to do it in public when you grow up?"
"Ah?" Huang Fei was stunned. "Is this the first time we meet?"
"Then what do you think?" the old dean asked.
"Hehe." Huang Fei smiled dryly, a little embarrassed. But he was muttering in his heart: Why is it not as romantic as imagined?
It didn't matter that I scared Yan to tears at that time, but it actually caused people to misunderstand that she was a little wolf since she was a child. I really feel sorry for Jiang Dong and his father.
However, he understood somewhat. Perhaps at that time, he suddenly saw someone similar to Yu Ruoling in a strange place, so he thought it was her, and then rushed to catch Yan, which resulted in such a misunderstanding.
"I think this is fate arranged by God." Huang Fei looked back at Yan and said with a smile. "Why else would I arrest you instead of other girls?"
"It seems that you have the potential to deceive girls since you were a child." Yan glared at Huang Fei angrily. If this were not the case, how could he explain that their relationship would be so good after so many years?
Obviously the first meeting was not pleasant. If Huang Fei hadn't been pestering and coaxing her every day, how could it have been like this?
Although she can't recall that childhood memory now, she can imagine that even though it's a nonsense, it can still make people laugh when thinking about it.
Maybe this is how enemies come to be!
All kinds of events can always tightly connect two people together. No matter how you get rid of them, you will return to the place where they met once you complete the circle.
"By the way, old dean." Huang Fei suddenly remembered a previous question and couldn't help but curiously asked: "You said the person who brought me here was a man, so what happened?"
I heard that Xiong Yaohua said before that they lived in Hangzhou, but why did he suddenly come to Jinghai?
Could that man be the one who kidnapped her?
"I was also very impressed by that man."
The old dean said to Huang Fei: "I still remember that it was drizzling that day, and a burly man led you here. An old man and a young man were holding a black umbrella, standing at the door of the courtyard.
Come in, you have to let me go out to see him. He is wearing a pair of sunglasses on a rainy day, he is really a strange man."
"Later I went out to meet him, and he told me that he would entrust the child to me for a year, and someone would naturally pick up the child after one year. At that time, I thought he was the father of the child, but later I found out that he was not. He said that the child
He saved the child from gangsters, so he didn’t know the child’s parents. At that time, I thought this child was very pitiful, so I took the next step.”dd
