268 When I came back from eating with Zuo Qiu, I happened to see him waiting in the lobby.
"Don't run around. I'll ask Shao Huai to pick you up." Yan Beicheng said, obviously thinking of the last time Lin Chu lost his soul and caused the two of them to quarrel. "He is safe with me. Just calm down." Son, don’t be like last time!”
Because he was too nervous about her, Yan Beicheng's tone was a little anxious and stern. If she dared to do it again, he would be really annoyed.
Perhaps because the delivery date was approaching, Lin Chu's temperament slowly returned to the time before pregnancy. Thinking about the emotions he had before, he felt that they were not him at all.
So now I don't feel angry when I hear Yan Beicheng's harsh words, knowing that he is afraid that something will happen to him. And after what happened last time, Lin Chu had learned a lesson, so he wouldn't do it again.
"Don't worry, I'll be here waiting for Shao Huai to pick him up, and I won't run around." Lin Chu promised.
Yan Beicheng hung up the phone, but he still couldn't let go.
Zheng Yuntong heard this and said, "I'll wait here with you. I'll leave after you get in the car."
It's lunch break anyway, so there's no rush.
Lin Chu agreed with a smile, and the two of them went to the cafe behind them.
Five minutes later, Lin Chu saw Shao Huai driving his car, so he said goodbye to Zheng Yuntong and got in the car.
When I arrived at Yanhui, I entered the office and saw Mo Jinxi sitting on the sofa, with McDonald's takeout on the coffee table in front of me.
Mo Jinxi was wearing the uniform of Jixia University, holding a hamburger in his hand and already eating half of it.
Seeing Lin Chu, Mo Jinxi put down the burger, then happily climbed off the sofa and ran over, "Chu Chu!"
Lin Chu had always loved Mo Jinxi, but this time he turned his head and looked at Mo Jinxi seriously.
Mo Jinxi's small body trembled, and she lowered her head with a weak heart, revealing only her dark head.
"You have the afternoon off and no classes?" Lin Chu pursed his lips and asked.
Mo Jinxi sucked her lips and said, "There is no holiday."
"Do your grandparents and uncle know that you are here?" Lin Chu asked in a deep voice.
Mo Jinxi's shoulders shook, and she felt even more guilty. She whispered, "No... I don't know."
"Then you sneaked out by yourself at noon? Do you want to go back to class in the afternoon?" Lin Chu did not sit down and just stood like this, leaving Mo Jinxi standing like this. When questioning, his tone was stern.
Lin Chu had always spoken to Mo Jinxi in a gentle and gentle manner, and he had never been like this before.
Such a stern tone made Mo Jinxi a little scared.
"I..." Mo Jinxi shrank his neck. According to the time it took from Jixia Academy to Yanhui, there was really no time to go back to the first class.
The first class in the afternoon is archery, which is part of the elementary school. When you reach the middle school, the archery class will be changed to a shooting class.
Mo Jinxi thought that it wouldn't be that important to take just one less archery lesson.
"Jinxi, when did you learn to play hooky?" Lin Chu saw it and asked in a deep voice, "When I was in the orphanage, the conditions were not so good and I couldn't let you go to such a good school. It was just an ordinary elementary school. . But you can study hard and never let adults worry. Why are you skipping school now that the conditions are better and the Mo family has given you such good conditions and allowed you to go to such a good school? "
Lin Chu knew in his heart that Mo Jinxi would not act like this for no reason. But even so, my heart is sad. No matter how good the reason is, you should not skip school!
Mo Jinxi lowered her head, tears falling from her eyes, and her little feet moved restlessly on the ground a few times, "I... I miss the old dean and my younger brothers and sisters. I have been home for several months. But grandma just won’t let me see them. Grandpa promised me before that if I complete my studies well, even if grandma doesn’t take me back, grandpa and uncle will take me back to see them. "
"I have done well in my studies. The books at Jixia University are different from those in the previous school, and the courses I study are also different, but I have caught up with them all. Even those courses that I have never studied before, I have never learned before. I have never been exposed to it, but I have tried hard to catch up with everyone else. I have done very well in all my homework. No matter how hard it is, I will grit my teeth and get through it." Mo Jinxi said, feeling a little aggrieved. .
In fact, Lin Chu also knew that Jixia Academy was different from ordinary schools. Nowadays, the slogan of all-round development in education is actually empty talk. Academic performance is still the main focus in schools. It's okay for the first and second grade students, the schoolwork is not that heavy. As the third grade progresses, the study of cultural classes becomes more and more arduous year by year. Especially in the sixth grade when you are about to enter junior high school, those non-written examination courses almost no longer exist. Even if they are listed on the curriculum, they will be occupied by teachers of major subjects and used to make up lessons for students. Everything has to be said by academic performance.
Jixia University is different. It is a truly comprehensive development, taking into account everything from students' cultural classes to physical fitness to spiritual cultivation. In addition to the cultural courses covered by ordinary schools, it also includes physical fitness courses such as horse riding, archery, karate, taekwondo, and Sanda. These are elective courses. Choose two from them to study. Mo Jinxi chose archery and taekwondo.
In addition, there is also camping in the wild. You have to take care of all the food, clothing, housing and transportation by yourself. You are provided with some necessities, and the rest, whether it is making a fire or cooking, you have to figure out how to do it yourself. Disaster survival drills are held from time to time, including survival drills in various natural or man-made disasters such as fires and earthquakes.
What is learned in the textbooks of cultural classes is also different from that in ordinary schools, and the learning progress is naturally different. But the strange thing is that when the students took the college entrance examination in their senior year of high school, they had no problem answering the questions at all. They were no different from the students who worked early in the morning and stayed late in the day, focusing entirely on cultural classes. It's like running on different roads, but still being able to meet at the fork in the road on time and move forward together on that single road.
This was something that Mo Jinxi had to adapt to in a new environment. Getting along with classmates is the least of my worries.
Yan Ningbai was in the same class as him and would never let him be isolated. And Mo's reputation as a grandson also made his classmates treat him equally. No one isolated him or said bad things to him like his classmates in the previous school.
Having just transferred to a new school, the biggest pressure on Mo Jinxi was her schoolwork. There was no need to worry about cultural classes. Although the textbooks are different and the pace is different, Mo Jinxi is always motivated and has studied a lot on his own, so he can keep up. What I couldn't keep up with were the elective courses. I also made a lot of jokes when I participated in a wild camping trip for the first time.
But Mo Jinxi always remembered Chief Mo's promise to him. As long as he completed all his homework well, he would take him back to the orphanage to visit him during his break without taking up his study time. So he has been working very hard, even if he has no foundation at all, he still works hard to keep up with everyone.
During this period, he never mentioned returning to the orphanage. He just tried hard to keep up with everyone's progress. After finally catching up, I asked Liang Xiulin that she wanted to go back to the orphanage on the weekend, but Liang Xiulin refused.
"But... but..." Mo Jinxi clenched her fists and wiped the tears on her face with the back of her hand, "I worked so hard to keep up with all the courses at Jixia Academy and completed them very well, but grandma didn't allow me to go back. Orphanage. Grandpa and uncle are busy working every day and rarely take a break even on weekends. My uncle lives next to the police station and has not been home for several weekends. Grandpa comes back very late every day, and grandma asks me to go to bed early. Every time I go to bed, grandpa never comes back, and when I get up in the morning, grandpa is gone again, and I have no chance to talk to him."
The more Mo Jinxi talked, the more aggrieved she became. Unable to hold back her tears, she simply put her arms across her eyes and started crying.
"But I miss the old dean, I miss Shitou and Tiantian. I told grandma that I showed the report card to her, but grandma just didn't allow me to go to the orphanage or interact with Shitou and Tiantian. Wuwu Wuwuwu! Grandma said..." Mo Jinxi cried hard and burped, "Grandma said that now that I am a child of a family, I can no longer think about the orphanage, and asked me to have less contact with the people in the orphanage. Saying that they... saying that they are not educated enough and that their status is different from mine, they will only drift apart in the future. People who say that we are in two different worlds, even if they are good now, when they grow up and become sensible, their affection will also be Change. Said that Shitou and Tiantian would take advantage of my identity and our friendship to take things from me that don't belong to them."
Mo Jinxi is smart, he can read books and do questions at once, and he has a good memory, otherwise he would not have been able to keep up with the progress of Jixia Academy so quickly. So he wrote down everything Liang Xiulin said to him word for word.
"Grandma said that our identities are different and the paths we will take in the future will be different. We have different experiences and have nothing to say. When I grow up, I will be like my grandfather and uncle, while Shitou and Tiantian will only become one Ordinary people." Mo Jinxi cried more and more, especially when he said these words of Liang Xiulin, he was really sad because his grandma said that about his partner.
Although he is young, he understands these words.
"Grandma said... Grandma said that if I feel sorry for the orphanage, my family can give me more money, but I can no longer play with them. Grandma asked me to spend more time with Ning Bai and my classmates in school, so that they can They are people with the same status as me. When I grow up, the circles and people I come into contact with are also them, and I have no contact with the ordinary circles like Shitou and Tiantian. But... But Ning Bai is my good friend, Shitou and Tiantian Tiantian is also a good friend of mine. I don’t understand what the difference is. They are all my good friends, and that’s their identity. Could it be... Do we still have to have different levels of friends? I didn’t have any family before. The child has been in the orphanage, but Ning Bai has never disliked me. Ning Bai's family has not objected to his association with me, and he always goes to the orphanage to find me."
Mo Jinxi was crying and hiccupping, with tears, saliva, and some runny nose in her mouth. Her speech was not so clear, but Lin Chu could still understand it.
"If Ning Bai's family is like grandma and dislikes my background and doesn't let Ning Bai play with me, then I won't have Ning Bai as a friend for a long time. Now I have no playmates at Jixia Academy." Mo. Jin Xi whimpered and cried, "That's what I told grandma, but grandma still didn't allow it. I figured it out, and grandma took me home, and she didn't plan to let me talk to her again." Contact the dean and the others, and she doesn’t plan to let me go back to the orphanage again.”
"But it can't be like this! It was the orphanage that raised me to this age. Without the old director, how could grandma find me?" Mo Jinxi said, "I told grandma the same thing, but grandma said she No means no."
In fact, Liang Xiulin was also annoyed by Mo Jinxi's questions. She really didn't want Mo Jinxi to associate with the people in the orphanage anymore, not even to have any relationship with them.
Chief Mo and Mo Jingsheng were busy at work and did not care much about home. They were away from home all day long. It was difficult for Mo Jinxi to see them. Therefore, Chief Mo had no choice but to ask Liang Xiulin about Mo Jinxi's situation.
Seeing this going on, Mo Jinxi didn't know when he could go back to the orphanage, so he took the initiative to mention it to Liang Xiulin.
At first, Liang Xiulin could still make some excuses, such as being busy today, having something to do tomorrow, whose house he was going to the day after tomorrow, who he was going to take him to see today, and what he was taking Mo Jinxi to do that day.
In short, my schedule was full and I really didn’t have time to go to the orphanage.
Mo Jinxi was also obedient and sensible. He felt that he was really busy and it was not easy to force him, so he obediently waited for Liang Xiulin to take him back when he was free.
He really missed the old dean so much that he used the mobile phone given to him by Chief Mo to call the old dean.
Liang Xiulin didn't like Mo Jinxi's contact with the orphanage, and also knew about Mo Jinxi's secret phone calls. But since the mobile phone was given by Chief Mo, Liang Xiulin couldn't confiscate it. Besides, when you are at school, you really should have a mobile phone to keep in touch. It is not uncommon for students at Jixia University to have a mobile phone. Even high school students use mobile phones to follow the stock market. If you don't even have a mobile phone, you are called an alien.
Mo Jinxi came here halfway, and it was no secret that he lived in an orphanage before. Liang Xiulin was afraid that Mo Jinxi would be looked down upon by his classmates. Mo Jinxi usually paid special attention to food and clothing, and was no worse than others. Therefore, this mobile phone will not be confiscated under any circumstances.
So when he knew that Mo Jinxi called the orphanage, Liang Xiulin would always appear and urge Mo Jinxi to do other things. Either ask him to eat fruit, or ask him to take a bath quickly, or ask him to go to bed quickly and stop talking on the phone.
Liang Xiulin deliberately raised the volume so that the old dean on the other end of the phone could hear it, so he didn't want to delay Mo Jinxi's affairs and urged Mo Jinxi to hang up the phone.
If it happened once or twice, Mo Jinxi wouldn't think much about it, but it happened too many times, and it happened every time he called. Mo Jinxi also saw that Liang Xiulin did it on purpose.
So later, Mo Jinxi changed to secretly making phone calls.
Since he had phone time, Mo Jinxi couldn't help but think about it. He felt more and more that Liang Xiulin didn't take him to the orphanage because he had such and such things and didn't have time. I'm afraid it was an excuse. So Mo Jinxi tested it a few more times, and it was indeed the case.
Mo Jinxi was also a little annoyed. He didn't understand why grandma prevented him from going to the orphanage. It's not like he was going back to the orphanage to live in. He wouldn't come back. It's like visiting a relative's house. Even if you can't go every week, you can go back often when you have time. What's the problem
The old dean has always taken good care of him, treating him like his own grandson. None of the children in other orphanages are as lucky as them. They are the only ones who have met such a good person like the old dean.
He has always had a belief in his heart that he needs the old dean to survive. He knows that the old dean is old and very big, but he still hopes that the old dean can live a long life and be able to watch him grow up and watch him work. , make your own money. Then he would take care of the old dean, be filial to the old dean, and not make her worry again.
At a young age, Mo Jinxi already knew the saying that a child wants to be raised but cannot be kissed. He read a lot of books in his spare time. After seeing this sentence and understanding its meaning, he remembered it firmly.
He didn't want to wait until he was able to be filial to the old dean, but the old dean was gone.
Although he is in the Mo family now, he will still be filial to his grandparents, but he will not forget the old dean. He wanted to visit the old dean from time to time.
He knew that the old dean had nothing to ask for from them except that they all live well. As long as they were happy in front of her, that was the happiest thing for her.
He didn't want the old director to think that he would forget about the orphanage because he came back to a wealthy family. He was not a white-eyed wolf.
So Mo Jinxi once again made a very serious request to Liang Xiulin to go back to the orphanage.
Because it happened so many times, Liang Xiulin became impatient and simply told the truth to Mo Jinxi.
"Grandma won't let me go and see them. The old dean will think that I have forgotten them and that I won't recognize the old dean and my younger siblings now that I have my grandparents. The old dean will definitely be sad." Mo Jinxi whined. Crying, head hanging, arms on eyes, wiping tears.
"I don't want the old dean to misunderstand me. I'm not a white-eyed wolf after having a family and forgetting about them. I also want to be filial to the old dean. Wuwuwuwu, grandma... grandma just won't take me. No one can take me. I'm going. I miss the old dean, Teacher Yuan and Teacher Wang, Shitou and Tiantian. I haven't seen them since I've been home for so long. They must be very sad and miss me very much. So... So I I came to find you." Mo Jinxi's shoulders twitched, "I don't know the way to the orphanage, and I don't know the name of your company, but I remember this place, the driver... the driver also knows, so That's why I came here. I... I just miss the old dean, I just want to go back and see, wuwuwuwu... "
Lin Chu sighed as he saw Mo Jinxi crying and trembling all over. There is no way to say who is right and who is wrong in this matter.
Both sides are wrong, but they also have their own reasons.
Lin Chu rubbed Mo Jinxi's hair and took his hand, "Okay, stop crying now. Come and sit."
Lin Chu pulled Mo Jinxi back to sit on the sofa. Mo Jinxi's feet could not touch the ground and were hanging in the air. As his body trembled from crying, his feet were dangling.
Lin Chu took the tissue box, put it on Mo Jinxi's lap, and took out a tissue to wipe his tears.
But because of what she said just now, Mo Jinxi felt aggrieved in her heart. She couldn't hold back her tears for a moment, and cried even harder, unable to stop.
Lin Chu saw that this was not a problem, so he pinched a tissue and wiped his tears with Mo Jinxi, "Jinxi, you can cry if you want. After you're done venting, just listen to what I have to say, okay?"
Mo Jinxi hiccupped and nodded, crying so hard.
Lin Chu stopped asking him and let him vent his grievances first. Seeing the McDonald's on the table, he asked Yan Beicheng, "Have you eaten?"
Yan Beicheng nodded and explained: "I came back from dinner with Zuo Qiu and happened to see him waiting in the lobby. He came here earlier and said he was looking for me, but the front desk saw that he was a child and did not dare to let him wander in. However, the school uniform of Jixia University was quite useful. The front desk saw that he was not an ordinary child and was afraid that he would have an accident, so he asked his colleagues to accompany him on the sofa in the hall. He rushed over in a hurry without eating. , asked him what he wanted to eat, and said he wanted to eat McDonald’s.”
Mo Jinxi's twitching voice also became weaker. McDonald's is because he likes to eat it. He didn't have much chance in the orphanage before, so he only ate it once in a while. After returning to Mo's house, even the occasional meal was no longer available, because Liang Xiulin said it was not nutritious and that after eating it, the body was unhealthy and puffy.
I also showed him a report, saying that a foreign reporter conducted an experiment and ate McDonald's for a month. As a result, he changed from a handsome boy to a fat man, and his original appearance was no longer visible.
