old love [rebirth]

Such a long-lost reunion is far from what he had expected. Guan Yu has been exhausted all the way, and he has the cheek to ask the school, so he can catch up with a school celebration that he doesn't know what the theme is. There was nonsense at the meeting, from the big African lion to the eight honors and eight disgraces of the motherland, which only made up the 3 minutes.

Naturally, he worked so hard not to say a polite "Long time no see", but the reality is that even though the two of them are sitting side by side and trying to be decent, but apart from these four words, it seems that they really have nothing to say explain.

The thank-you meeting ended very early, and a group of teachers and seniors couldn't make a fuss, but they drank a little too much.Guan Yu originally came here by car, but now he couldn't leave, so he had to ask someone for help.

Hongmao sat in the driver's cab, glanced outside, and waited until the people at the hotel entrance had dispersed before turning to look at the frowning man behind: "You came back this time for him?"

Guan Yu held the cigarette in one hand and remained silent, waiting for the man to get into the car before turning his face.

"Did you get chatting?" Hong Mao also turned his gaze back, curiously said: "No, if we got chatting, you two have to say goodbye right now."

"Don't worry about it," Guan Yu frowned impatiently, and said, "I just asked you to come over and drive a car, you're pushing so hard."

"It's not that I forced you, it's that you're not very promising." Hong Mao turned the steering wheel and got into the traffic, then lowered the window, and said disgustedly: "Brother Chen, did you pour ecstasy soup back then? It's been a few years You still think about it... Hey, I lowered the window to run away, you are not cold, are you?"

Hongmao's baby son was born not long ago, and now his grandma is watching.The old lady was a teacher. She not only looked after the children, but also asked the young parents to lead by example and get rid of all bad habits.Hongmao, an old smoker raised from junior high school, even changed it as soon as he said it. He usually doesn't even dare to take a breath of second-hand smoke.

Guan Yu reached out and snuffed out the remaining half of the cigarette, and didn't speak any more.

After a while, I heard Hongmao say from the front: "How long are you staying here this time? By the way, I just have something to tell you. When we had an activity in our school last time, didn't you just say something about the children in the mountainous area?" This is good, several teachers in the school jointly applied for it a few days ago, saying that they will go to a school in the mountainous area of ​​Gansu to support teaching."

"Support education?" Guan Yu asked, "How long?"

"It's a week," Hongmao said, "it's the week when the school is on vacation. These people all said that they would not delay the start of classes, and according to our school's charging standards, they paid for the books and exercise books to bring to the students over there." past."

"School books?" Guan Yu glanced out the window, but said, "The students over there can't even recognize Chinese characters. How many of them used to teach foreign languages? Are you expecting your children to use the German and Spanish they learned this week to take exams and go to higher education? "The training school he set up with Hongmao specializes in teaching small languages, and half of the training teachers are college students and half are teachers from serious schools.Teachers have families and mouths, and they are usually busy spinning tops for three buckets of rice, so they definitely don't have this kind of thinking, so it can only be those few fresh graduates.

Hearing his words, Hongmao was no longer more amiable than before, and he understood in his heart that those students had made a mistake.

Sure enough, I heard Guan Yu say again: "Tell them, if you sincerely want to support teaching, you should stay in the local school for at least half a year. The courses will be arranged by the local teachers, and you should also stay with the local teachers for food and lodging. If you stay here, you will pay them double." Salary, if you can't stay, come back and pack up and leave."

"Why are you doing this," Hongmao persuaded, "They are just doing it on a whim."

"It is indeed a whim, to support teaching for a week? What do you think? The children over there don't need to grow vision and knowledge, and they don't need college students with a sense of superiority to talk about how exciting the outside world is. They can only learn by keeping quiet. I tried my best to get a high score to leave Dashan. These people said they were supporting teachers, but in fact they just went to make trouble, and they couldn’t even do the fart. Later, they came back after playing enough. Let’s share chicken soup with emotion. Over there, teacher Their prestige has been completely destroyed by them." After he finished speaking, he slowed down, and after a while he said: "Let's look back, we can send out the recruitment brochure again, or find a headhunting company. Her side...dismissed Pay more."

This is not the first time.The reason was that when he was driving to find Hongmao, he almost ran into a girl.He thought that the other party was a student in the school, but when he saw the other party at the meeting, he realized that he was the outstanding teacher of this year.The young romantic girl fell in love with him at first sight, and since then, every word Guan Yu said has been regarded as an imperial edict by her.

Hongmao also felt that this matter could not be dragged on any longer, he thought for a while and said: I will talk to her first, after all, this girl has a good job, and there is nothing wrong with her except that she misses you a little bit.If it doesn't work, I'll replace it. "

Guan Yu has always only paid for the affairs of the training school, so he didn't object when he said that, so he hummed lightly.

The red hair couldn't help teasing again: "You're a black-faced disaster... You only come to school a few times a year, and every time you come back, someone misses you. You said that if you have white spots, it's fine, and you look like an African native. How did those little girls know your nose and eyes?"

When he said this, he suddenly thought of Chen Lou just now, standing tall and tall at the door of the hotel, wearing only a white shirt, the cuffs rolled all the way to the forearm, the exposed arm was whiter than the face of the hotel boy beside him.People like Guan Yu can attract bees and butterflies, so wouldn't Chen Lou's side be flooded?

It's just that Guan Yu's lungs had to be poked when he said this, Hongmao Bendang didn't know, so after thinking about it, he only mentioned another thing: "Chen Lou's grandma is gone."

Only now did Guan Yu's face turn condensed, and he asked, "When did it happen?"

"It's been two or three years. I only heard about it this year from Lu Zhecheng. The people over there are really good. They have been paid for two or three years, and they can't hide it. I stopped the money last month and transferred it to The 'Chunyu' fund has gone..." Just when the phone rang, Hongmao glanced at the screen and said again: "No one will know about the old lady once she leaves, don't you plan to tell Chen Lou?"

Guan Yu remained silent.

Hongmao persuaded: "What is it to be a behind-the-scenes hero? You can tell him before he knows. Besides, if you want to pursue someone, you have to take some practical actions. Why don't you know how to take advantage of these bonus points?"

"No," Guan Yu suddenly recalled Chen Lou's gentle appearance just now, he couldn't see the pain of bereavement, nor the joy of successful graduation.He leaned on the back of the chair and watched the lights outside the car window slide back like water, and said after a long time: "I don't want him to think that I'm using these things to tie him down."

After a while, he arrived at the downstairs of his apartment. It was a deserted hotel-style residence without any fireworks.

Hongmao parked the car, looked at the phone before leaving, and reminded: "But since you are back this time, don't forget about the Foundation's affairs. I have asked you several times over there. As for Chen Lou , you shouldn’t be in a hurry.”

Seeing Guan Yu's surprised face, he lifted his phone and said, "My daughter-in-law has sent a letter saying that Mr. Gao has been admitted to the hospital. He wants me to ask for leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to go and see him."

-

Old man Gao has had a stomach problem for a long time. He used to have bad eating habits. He often forgot to eat lunch when he was busy. When he was at home, he was afraid of wasting food. Sometimes he could eat leftovers for a whole day.This examination was insisted on by one of his former students. Who knew that a big problem was found after the examination: gastric cancer. According to the location of the tumor, it is estimated that half of the stomach will be removed.

Fortunately, the situation is relatively optimistic, and the tumor has not metastasized.The student arranged the time for hospitalization and surgery for him, and the money was paid for him.When Chen Lou received the call, he was going to the airport to see off his mentor and his wife. As soon as the news came out, although they knew that the situation was not very dangerous, the three of them hurried back.

Lying on the hospital bed, old man Gao asked Chen Lou to go back, and quarreled with his old classmates, but he was in good spirits.

Chen Lou didn't dare to ask any more questions, and went to find a doctor by himself.

Fortunately, old man Gao's bed doctor was on duty and told him the basic situation and the operation arrangement. Seeing that Chen Lou took out a notebook and pen and wrote them down one by one like magic, he couldn't help laughing: "Ms. Gao is really blessed. One or two are so careful."

Chen Lou flicked the pen in his hand, carefully wrote down the information just now, and asked without raising his head, "Who else?"

"The one who pays the fee is also a handsome guy." The doctor in charge of the bed smiled, looked up for a while, and then laughed aloud: "Say Cao Cao Cao Cao will be here."

Chen Lou just finished writing, while folding the paper, he turned around and looked behind him.

The person behind was wearing the same shirt and trousers as him, with the neckline slightly open, his gestures were gentle and dignified, his eyes were clear and soft, he was really a handsome guy.What the doctor in charge of the bed reminded Chen Lou, he hurriedly smiled at the people, and introduced himself: "Hello, I am a student of Teacher Gao, and my name is Chen Lou."

The person opposite raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise, then smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, my name is Jiang You."

Jiang You was also worried about Teacher Gao, so he came back after finishing his work.Chen Lou sighed slightly in his heart, and said gratefully: "Thanks to Mr. Jiang being here..." Seeing the other party raised his eyebrows again, he paused and said directly: "That's right, Mr. Gao and I feel like father and son. This time he was hospitalized and underwent surgery. I plan to pay him for the expenses..."

"Oh no, it's not much money." Jiang You smiled, seeing that Chen Lou insisted, coughed a little embarrassedly: "Besides, I'm his... his own son."

Chen Lou: "!!"

Chen Lou would visit Old Man Gao's house almost every year, and he even spent the annual leave before going abroad at Gao's house.At that time, old man Gao was as happy as a child, watching him climb up and down cleaning, and followed him to plant vegetables in the yard downstairs.That piece of land was originally an idle land in the community, overgrown with weeds.Chen Lou got rid of the weeds, and went to the suburbs to buy some chili and eggplant seeds, and helped sow them all.

At that time, Chen Lou thought that Teacher Gao probably had no children.From the time he was in the clinic, what he saw was mostly related to birth, old age, sickness, and old age. At that time, the old lady passed away. He was completely alone, so he silently planned to provide for Teacher Gao's retirement.During that Spring Festival, he calmly bought the other party a new bed, sofa, and TV, replaced the range hood, repaired the doors and windows, and bought a new sewing machine for his wife.

That's about all the sons and grandchildren can do.But what Chen Lou said did not expect that a real son suddenly appeared today.

Of course he was happy for old man Gao, and he was relieved.

Jiang You smiled and explained: "Teacher Gao sent me abroad early in the morning. I just came back two years ago and I often heard him mention you." After a pause, he continued: "I have my mother's surname."

Chen Lou nodded.

Jiang You blinked his beautiful eyes again and said: "It just so happens that the hospital has scheduled the operation on Tuesday, and after the operation, I will be hospitalized for observation. I don't know how to take care of it then, can you teach me?"

After the gastrectomy, a gastric tube and a drainage tube will be inserted, and the healing of the wound will be painful, so attention should be paid to the exhaust process.Chen Lou originally wanted to say that it was fine for me to stay and take care of him, but later he realized that the other party was Old Man Gao's own son. If he learned these things carefully, Old Man Gao would feel better when he was discharged from the hospital.

He deliberately explained the rules and regulations in detail, Jiang You listened and wrote while concentrating, and the two discussed it for a long time before returning.

Chen Lou is still staying at the hotel now, and he doesn't plan to stay permanently in City C, so he hasn't even seen the houses here.Fortunately, I saved all the money at the beginning, otherwise, if Mr. Gao ran out of expenses in the later period, he would not be able to make up for it.He also thought that Jiang You seemed to be one year younger than him tonight, but he was mature and stable, and he was not bad looking. He could even feel a little strangeness when their eyes touched lightly.

Ever since he separated from Guan Yu, he has deliberately ignored this aspect of things, and usually he shuts out both men and women.Fortunately, when doing experiments, the sky and the sky are often dark, and the thoughts in this aspect have faded a lot. Occasionally, I need to watch a movie and do it myself.

He couldn't help but smile when he thought of this. Tonight, a female bank president asked him about his marriage with Guan Yu. Guan Yu answered first, saying that he didn't have a girlfriend. Add the previous sentence.Chen Lou's heart skipped a beat at the time, and he shifted the topic to himself before he could speak.

At that time, he intuitively felt that the second half of the sentence Guan Yu was about to say was "I don't have a boyfriend either." However, he realized afterwards that the other party's success in his career may not be because of his reckless and straightforward temperament, and the half of the sentence blocked by him is also the same. It may be others, such as "I have no girlfriend and a wife", "I have no girlfriend and a partner" and so on.It was just a flash of light at that time, and no one had time to think so much.

Busy and dizzy this day, Chen Lou talked to his instructor again. Fortunately, it was too early for him to go through the entry procedures, so he simply took a leave of absence from the school and planned to report again in a few months.The teachers and leaders of my school are familiar with it, and it is easy to do this.He thought about his plans for the next few days, and when he was about to sleep, he saw his phone light up.

It was an unfamiliar number, and the content was the same: "...I changed my number, and the new number is xxx, please save it." Chen Lou was slightly stunned, and for a while, he couldn't remember when he told this person about the number he was using now. .He stared at the number on it for a long time, and finally raised his finger to delete the message.

And in the apartment behind this hotel, Guan Yu was wearing a bathrobe, watching his wet hair make circles and circles on the phone.There was no reply, so he raised his hand to look at his watch again, making sure that he had sent it for more than an hour, then he put the phone away and walked to the French window.

At midnight, the lights outside the window were sporadic, and the surroundings were quiet.He never fell asleep, and leaned over there with a cigarette in his mouth, lost in thought.When the text message sounded, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he saw himself in the mirror jumping up like a frog with a knee-jerk reflex.

The text message was not from Chen Lou.It was another person: "There is something at home, we can talk about the foundation's affairs at another time."

—

—

Guan Yu established a "Chunyu" foundation two years ago. At the beginning, he didn't understand anything. He only knew how to take part of his savings and put it around to do good things. As a result, the original funds were almost squandered.Later, he finally realized that charity cannot be played like this, so he hired a capable person with a high salary under the recommendation of Guan Yu.

This Neng Ren has a somewhat refined temperament, but he is quite vigorous when doing his work.He first created the foundation's brand projects: charity education and medical assistance for poor children, and then detailed the details of project management, and the money flow is also very clear.Guan Yu admired him somewhat, but every time he went back to China, he was very tight on time, and the two of them had made appointments several times but never saw each other.

In the past, he had something to do, and there was no time for coming and going in a hurry.This time, the red hair decided to clear all the arrangements behind him, but the other party had something to do.

Guan Yu couldn't help but think that this person is young, he seems to be younger than himself, and now that he is doing well in this industry and can be personally recommended by Guan Feng, maybe he has a temperament of arrogance.But the other party delayed, and he didn't force it. He took advantage of these few days to go home and visit his parents, and brought a lot of toys for his little nephew who was just able to talk.

In the past two years, Guan Feng married a wife and gave birth to a child. The formerly handsome and dandy, Yizhihua, now has a fat waistband, and his stomach can't hold it anymore.Seeing Guan Yu's joyful quarrel with the child, he still said in the usual way: "You still don't consider finding a partner?"

Over the years, he saw Guan Yu relying on himself to death as if he wanted to become an immortal, and spending a lot of money on charity, as if he could cut the world of mortals when he followed him, and his heart ached.Later, she married a wife and gave birth to a child, and the family of three worked together together, and this kind of heartache had an extra layer of sympathy.

Guan Yu picked out a toy from his little nephew's mouth, threw it aside and said, "Throw away this toy for him, the little guy dares to stuff anything into his mouth, such small things are not suitable for him."

Speaking of his son, Guan Feng immediately glanced nervously, recognized what Guan Yu threw away, and said, "I will throw it away at night. This is a small plane bought by his grandma. He said your sister-in-law loved it when she was young. I will go to the old man's house tonight." I still have to come over, I’m going to think too much if I can’t see her. I’ll put it away when she’s gone.” He followed along for a long time, and when he saw Guan Yu lowering his head and picking up other things casually, he paused and said, “Don’t talk to me. How did you plan to change the subject? You can't be single for the rest of your life, can you?"

"I know, so don't worry about it." Guan Yu was silent for a moment, and then said: "I'm like this, marrying a girl is harmful to her. In fact, it's better to be single. I probably won't leave when I come back this time. The things at hand are stable and stable, and I will take care of my parents. You have paid a lot for the family these years, and you can live a good life with your sister-in-law in the future."

Guan Feng was speechless for a moment, and could only sigh in a low voice.

When he married his current wife back then, almost everyone around him opposed him.Guan Feng never thought that he would fall in love with a young lady who sat on stage in a nightclub, she was clumsy and clumsy, and her appearance was quite ordinary.Love is a wonderful thing. Sometimes you set a lot of rules and regulations, and you already have a basic portrait of your other half in your heart. Maybe the other person will raise their hand or frown, and these will collapse.

His debauchery in the past was said to be unrestrained, but his wife's short past was an outrage that cannot be tolerated.For this reason, he almost broke up with his family, and his usual business partners, some regretted it, some ridiculed it, and some wantonly insulted it.During that time, he gritted his teeth and resisted, internal and external.Guan Yu didn't know where he got the news, but he came back from Africa without saying a word, and let him concentrate on the outside world, and he took care of the family affairs.

In the end, he really made sense of his parents, chose a weekend, and let his sister-in-law enter the house solemnly.Although the atmosphere was tense and weird at the time, at any rate, the face passed.The two brothers drank together in the middle of the night, Guan Feng cried and laughed excitedly, and vaguely heard his younger brother sigh: "This kind of thing, you have to persevere, no matter how difficult it is, you have to persevere... Otherwise, if you waver, her god It just collapsed."

In the eyes of others, he is selfish, disregarding his family and parents, insisting on fighting for nothing, but in his own view, this is a protection and oath for the people behind him. He will not compromise, and the people behind him just need to feel at ease .It's just that the world is like a tide, people are wrapped in it and bump up and down, not everyone knows it well.

Guan Yu didn't stay long at Guan Feng's house and went back. After another day, the person in charge of the foundation was finally free and asked him to meet at the company.The two of them exchanged a few simple greetings, but he could see that this person might really have something to do with his family.

The other party did not hide anything, smiled generously, pointed to the blue color in his eyes, and said: "I am considered light, and the other one has worked hard. He has been guarding in the hospital, and he has taken more care than my own son."

Guan Yu didn't want to ask other people's family affairs, and said politely: "Now that medical technology is advanced, there is no need to worry too much."

"Well, the operation went well, and you can go to the ground now." Jiang You smiled, pushed away the computer in his hand and introduced: "This is the current situation of the Foundation."

The management framework of the "Spring Rain" Foundation is now becoming more and more mature, and there is a project implementation team responsible for implementing projects. More than [-]% of the projects are led by internal members of the foundation, and the remaining [-]% choose to cooperate with other public welfare organizations .Jiang You made an appointment with Guan Yu this time. First, Guan Yu is the main donor of the foundation. Although he does not usually participate in the management, he has the right to know about it.The second is that the foundation really has a project recently that it wants to cooperate with other people.

"Although we have many projects that fill in the gaps in the government's basic guarantees, compared with other foundations, our adhesion with government agencies is slightly weaker. This cooperation will help improve the social influence of our foundation. Except In addition, I think we can find a way to get the support of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security to establish charitable volunteer workstations across the country, which can also save project operating costs.”

Guan Yu closed the document and said flatly, "How much did you spend on management expenses last year?"

"The total management expenses are 31w, accounting for [-]% of the total expenditure." Jiang You said: "Here, you have always paid for the management expenses alone, so there is no 'misuse of charitable funds', but due to human and material resources constraints, the same management In terms of cost, the projects we complete directly are no more than those completed in cooperation with ngos.”

Guan Yu has always thought about the problem Jiang You mentioned. He had thought too simply about setting up the foundation. Thanks to the help of Guan Feng and a few friends, it was established.Now that it has been in operation, many problems have to be considered, such as the single financing channel, and the fact that they have received so little government support that the social rating has not yet reached 3a, and they cannot enjoy various preferential tax policies.

The cooperation project that Jiang You selected this time is the "Western Medical Plan" project in City Q. City q is located in the southwest of China. The city governs 40 counties and districts, one-third of which are located in the hinterland of the Three Gorges reservoir area.The rural development over there is backward, and the construction of small towns is not high-grade, and there is a huge gap with the consumption level of the urban area of ​​Q City, which is close to the first-tier cities.Especially the medical situation. There is a lack of medical care and medicine in the rural areas, and the hygienic situation is indeed worrying.

This project was decided by a returned overseas Chinese. His foundation has been established for many years. There are as many as five medical poverty alleviation projects this time, with a total funding of tens of millions.The reason why Jiang You was interested in this matter was because the leaders of City Q attached great importance to it, and the municipal government of City Q, the Municipal Finance Bureau, the Municipal Health Bureau and other departments almost fully cooperated.If Jiang You hadn't met this overseas Chinese once, and if one of the five projects this time happened to coincide with their "Spring Rain" Foundation's brand project - disease relief for impoverished children, I'm afraid they would Even sharpening the head doesn't get in the way.

Guan Yu was a little relieved, and then talked for a long time about the allocation of funds and other issues.When the general framework of the matter was finalized, I looked at my phone and found that lunch time had passed.

Jiang You smiled and got up and said: "This matter is not in a hurry. I will go to the imperial capital first in a few days. I will take a leave of absence from the big boss in the past two days. I have to concentrate on serving the old man for a few days."

Guan Yu took a sip of tea from the cup at the side, and a smile appeared on his face: "Go, the weather has changed recently, and it is indeed easy to get sick."

Seeing that the man packed up the computer and walked away at a leisurely pace, he sat for a while before calling Hongmao and asking, "How is Teacher Gao?" Well, I’ve never seen someone strolling around and holding a forum four days after the operation.”

Guan Yu smiled unknowingly, and for a moment felt that what kind of teacher taught what kind of students, Chen Lou was not very safe in the hospital before.

Thinking of this, he felt that the aftertaste of the tea leaves still lingered in his mouth, and it was difficult to distinguish between sweet and bitter.Just like him and Chen Lou, the innocent friendship that has been lost over the years, the friends who have gone away, the elders who have gone away... becoming familiar and strange to each other, missing and restraining each other.
