back to innocence

Fei Yizhen caught up with Ye Minghe at the gate, and shouted, "Minghe!? Minghe!?"

Ye Minghe stopped, turned around and looked at him, and when he saw Fei Yizhen chasing up, he immediately showed a surprised expression.

Fei Yizhen hesitated and asked: "I know I'm a little nosy... What's wrong with you? What happened? Is there anything I can do to help?"

After Fei Yizhen asked this sentence, he was stunned.Because this was the first time he saw Ye Minghe cry.

Ye Minghe's tears fell down uncontrollably, it was the first time Fei Yi could shed so many tears when he saw someone cry.Ye Minghe's originally dark and beautiful eyeballs seemed to have turned into a pair of spring eyes. The tears did not "flow" out, but "welled up". He choked up while crying and said: "My mother...my mother... …dying."

Fei Yi was really stunned, a little confused about Ye Minghe's meaning, and hurriedly said: "How could it be? What happened? What happened to Auntie? Please speak up and don't cry, okay?"

Ye Minghe choked with sobs, and finally explained the matter clearly.

Mother Ye is a widow, her husband died very early, and Ye Minghe was raised by her alone since childhood.In order for Ye Minghe to learn his most talented painting, Mother Ye works three jobs all year round.She works in a fabric factory during the day, goes to the night market by herself at night, and works as a part-time cleaner for two families on weekends.

On Friday night, on the way back from practice, she suddenly passed out.Ye Minghe panicked and sent her to the hospital, but the doctor told him that Mother Ye must undergo surgery.

The Ye family's finances were already tight, and Ye Minghe searched through the family's passbooks, but he still didn't find a fraction of a surgery. There is no way into the sky and no way into the earth.

Last night, he went door-to-door to find every family that his mother had a little friendship with.Poverty has no dignity. Ye Minghe, who lived frugally with his mother since he was a child, also understands this truth very well. He almost knelt down from house to house, but even so, he has received many white eyes and sarcasm in vain. Even if someone deliberately loses face How many are willing to borrow some money, but the amount is still far from the cost of Ye's mother's surgery.

Ye Minghe also knew that the painting teacher had taken good care of him, only charged him a small fee, but spent a lot of time teaching him.It's just that he was really desperate, so he thought of coming over to try it cheekily, which unsurprisingly made the other party feel embarrassed.

He thought of selling blood and kidneys on TV. In despair, he only felt that this was the only way for him to raise money, but he didn't know where to sell it, and he didn't know if a child of his age would sell it, and the other party would accept it. .

So when Fei Yizhen asked if he could help, Ye Minghe couldn't help crying.

He choked up and said: "Surgery and treatment will cost about 20 yuan, and I only have 4000 yuan at present..." He also ignored the question of how to repay the favor owed to Fei Yizhen, and said: "This I will make an IOU for the sum of money, and I will try my best to pay back the debt even if I take a break from school to set up a street stall. Yizhen, can you help me!? Please!"

Fei Yizhen frowned, patted him on the back and comforted him: "Don't be in a hurry. 20..." He was also a little worried. The money in his bank passbook was definitely more than 20 a few days ago. The impulsive investment came to Fei Zhiming's shares in the "Xinbai" community.He is basically at ease now.

He thought for a while, and he could only borrow this money from his parents, but if it was three or two thousand, it would be okay, but Fei Zhiming might not give him an amount like 20.But anyway, he wanted to give it a try.

He said categorically to Ye Minghe: "I'll figure out a way about the money, you are going to arrange for auntie to have an operation!"

Ye Minghe didn't expect Fei Yizhen to agree so readily, with such a firm expression on his face, he was stunned and said, "More than 17...can you really borrow it?"

Fei Yizhen pretended to be relaxed and said: "Did you forget? I have published two books, and the royalties are enough."

Ye Minghe finally couldn't help crying again, but this time he was crying with joy, and he felt relieved suddenly.

Fei Yizhen asked for Ye Minghe's phone number and the address of the hospital where his mother was hospitalized, and hurried home.

On the way, he called Fei Zhiming and told him about the borrowing and the reason. After hearing this, Fei Zhiming was really annoyed, and said, "You have too much money now, right!? Take care of everything? That classmate of yours has no relatives or friends, and needs you to treat his mother's illness at all costs!? Another 20?"

Fei Yizhen also yelled at him, saying: "People are desperate because they have no relatives and friends! He is a single-parent family, with only one mother, and the auntie has worked hard. He does three jobs alone, and there are no relatives at home. He I didn't sleep all night, I begged more than a dozen families, and went to the hospital to stay in bed in the middle of the night! Dad, he and I are classmates anyway, if we are really powerless and can't help, it's fine. Since we can help, you want Am I dying!?"

Fei Zhiming sneered: "Do you know what is dead or not? People may not be able to distinguish between real and fake deaths. If her life is really in danger, ask your classmate to launch a social donation at the school. When the time comes 1000 to [-], I will never give up." No grudges, and no repayment from him."

Fei Yizhen was not really a child, in fact he had guessed Fei Zhiming's reaction a long time ago, but he still suddenly felt a little disappointed.Finally, he begged softly: "Dad, please. If you lend me money, I can pay the IOU, and I will definitely pay it back. I really want to help him. If I die, I will I don’t think I’ll be at ease forever.”

Fei Zhiming's voice was still cold, and he said mockingly, "Do you know how long a lifetime is?"

Fei Yizhen said seriously: "I don't know how long a lifetime is, but I know that if Minghe's mother dies, I will be sad and have nightmares, and that's enough."

As a result, Fei Zhiming told him directly: "The 20 yuan is no longer necessary. If you really can't bear it, you can give him three or five thousand yuan later, and you don't have to pay him back. It's a charity for him."

Fei Yi really felt his heart go cold.

In Fei Yizhen's impression, Ye Minghe has always been a very strong person.He felt that perhaps it was because of Ye's mother's education and influence that although Ye Minghe didn't have a lot of pocket money, he had a lot of self-esteem and almost never took advantage of others.

He is usually very strong, if Fei Zhiming's words reach the other party's ears, it is not doing him a favor, it is the rhythm of revenge.

Ye Minghe may endure all the ridicule and contempt because of being favored, but he will definitely alienate himself in the future.

Moreover, Fei Yizhen didn't want to help him because he wanted to be grateful.

He really regarded Ye Minghe as a friend.

He put down his painting tools, changed his backpack, ran out of the house, and got into the car heading to Fei Zhiming's company.

Fei Yizhen didn't come to the company many times, but there are quite a few people who recognize him. The main reason is that Fei Zhiming has a photo of this young master on his desk, so the whole company knows that their young boss is Yanhe Wang, Fei Yizhen is still very recognizable here.

As soon as he entered the company, a girl he didn't know at the front desk smiled at him and asked, "Are you here to find your father?"

Fei Yi really didn't know the other party, so he just smiled shyly and said "Yes".

Naturally, he has a special elevator card, although he doesn't come here often on weekdays.

Fei Yi really quickly drove the special elevator and walked in, ignoring the whispers of the girls behind: "That is the little boss?"

"It's so handsome, even cuter than it looks on TV. I really want to take it home and raise it."

Fei Yizhen hypnotized himself: I didn't hear, I didn't hear.

When he arrived at Fei Zhiming's office, he knocked symbolically on the door. Fei Zhiming said "Come in", but when he looked up and saw his son, he was stunned.

Fei Zhiming frowned and said, "For your classmate?"

Fei Yi smiled flatteringly: "Dad, you are really clever."

Fei Zhiming said coldly: "It's useless to flatter me. If you say you can't do it, you can't do it. No matter what the reason is, let a middle school student take out 20 yuan - I don't care who your classmate is, no!"

Fei Yizhen sighed, ran to sit down on the desk in front of Fei Zhiming, and said, "Dad, listen to me. This money is what I said I had, and I also said I wanted to borrow it." .Because I believe in Ye Minghe's character, I also regard him as my friend. My friend is in trouble, so I hope to lend a helping hand, it has nothing to do with the amount of money. If I have ten dollars, I will give ten dollars , I will give 1000 yuan for 1000 yuan. The problem now is that I really have the ability to take out the 20 yuan, so I will give it."

Fei Zhiming looked at him sternly: "Where did you get 20 now!?"

"I use the shares of Estar as collateral, Dad, you can lend me 20."

Fei Zhiming was stunned for a moment, then his face became very ugly, and he said, "I thought you valued the shares of "Xinbai"?"

Fei Yi said with a real smile: "Yes, it is very important. However, it is not as important as an important friend, nor is it as important as a life."

Fei Zhiming said angrily: "Why don't you go to Africa to save children in distress!? There are thousands of people waiting for you to save!"

"Because I can't see it, and I can't touch it. Dad, if someone else is going to die in front of me, I'm sure I can't help it. Dad, I can't say that I am a very noble person. Very selfless person, but if someone falls in front of you, and you reach out to help, it shouldn't be that difficult, right?"

"Is it the same thing to lend a hand and borrow 20 yuan?"

Fei Yizhen said seriously: "It's the same. Both of these are things I can do. They won't hurt myself, but they can help others."

Fei Zhiming was furious. He never expected his son to be so stubborn and eloquent. He said, "Fei Yizhen! I have never hit you since I was a child. Do you really want me to set a precedent!?"

Fei Yizhen said: "Dad, when I met Ye Minghe, it was when you were nine years old and you sent me to learn oil painting for the first time."

Fei Zhiming was stunned by the sudden change of topic.

"At that time, he was wearing an old-fashioned school uniform, which was out of tune with the atmosphere of the classroom. You think, who would wear an old-fashioned school uniform on weekends? Of course, you have to change into your own good-looking clothes."

Fei Yizhen smiled: "It was only later that I found out that the school uniform was already his most glamorous clothes. Many of his casual clothes were remade from other people's old clothes, but his mother's craftsmanship is not very good. So his civilian clothes always look a little shabby and eccentric."

Fei Zhiming said without much sympathy: "Are you trying to tell me how difficult their family is?"

Fei Yizhen shook his head and said: "No. What I want to say is that even though for many reasons, many classmates don't like to associate with him, he is still the best student in our studio. His family is poor, and he only has his mother. Without his father, he would not be able to raise 20 yuan for medical expenses... None of this will affect him, there is a soul in his paintings, and he will become a great painter."

Fei Zhiming laughed angrily: "How old are you!? How dare you call yourself a painter?"

"Then let me put it another way - although Ye Minghe is young, he never covets other people's things because of financial constraints, nor does he feel inferior, irritable, or self-defense because of wearing an old school uniform among a group of well-dressed classmates ——He will one day be a great person, a friend I am proud of... Can't you just treat it as an early investment in talent?"

Fei Zhiming looked at Fei Yizhen's pleading face, and finally couldn't help taking a step back, and said, "Yizhen, you are still young, and you may not be as accurate as you think in judging people..."

"If I'm wrong, just think that I spent 20 yuan to buy a lesson. I will learn the lesson, but I will never regret it." Fei Yizhen looked at his father seriously and said firmly.

"It's best for you to think like this, and I don't object anymore, so as not to be a villain in vain." Fei Zhiming pinched his son's soft face and said, "But I can't just take out the money so easily. You turn around and ask your classmate to bring the household registration book, mother’s ID card and medical record. I will only pay after I have read it. The money will also be handed over to the hospital directly, not through his hands. I agreed to these conditions , I will give the money."

Fei Yizhen thought for a while, and felt that these conditions were still within a reasonable range, so he nodded.

After a pause, he asked Fei Zhiming again: "You won't say some ugly things to him then, will you?"

Fei Zhiming was laughed angrily by him again, and said angrily: "Fei Xiaozhen, is your dad such a bad person in your heart!? Since you want to help, unless you confirm that your classmate is a liar, your dad won't just give up. In that way, if you help people with the pole, you still have to hold grudges?"

Only then did Fei Yizhen feel relieved.

After leaving the company, Fei Yizhen started calling Ye Minghe.

It took a long time for someone to answer, but I don't know why Ye Minghe's phone sounded particularly noisy, and the two could barely hear each other clearly.

In the end, Fei Yizhen didn't say what Fei Zhiming meant - what he wanted to say was more complicated, and he spent a while thinking about his words before typing, so as to avoid conveying unfriendly messages to Ye Minghe. I feel that the clarity of this call will affect his expression a lot.

Ye Minghe immediately felt sorry—his phone was an old phone that was discarded from Ye’s mother’s colleague’s house.

Finally, Fei Yizhen simply hung up the phone and decided to go directly to Ye Minghe's home.
