Dear Mr. Lu

The surroundings were quiet, Luo Wencheng waited for a while, and said, "Do you still want to hide?"

After a while, a figure came out from the darkness: "Master Luo."

Luo Wencheng turned to look at the other party: "It really is you, how long have you been with me a week ago."

Weeks ago there was no answer.

Luo Wencheng didn't insist on this answer, he probably followed him since he left Haining. He didn't deliberately conceal his whereabouts. He used his ID card where he should use his ID card, because he didn't think it was necessary to hide. Some people want to find him, even if they are careful everywhere, they will still be found.

But he originally thought that Lu Chong would not look for him.

He was softer and more affectionate than he thought.

Luo Wencheng was a little dazed, and asked Zhou Qian again: "I was able to meet Zhang Qihui smoothly, and I was able to enter the town to become a teacher. Is it because of your arrangement?"

"It's really a coincidence to get in Zhang Qihui's car. The teacher's part was arranged by us." Zhou Qian raised his head and asked, "How did you know that?"

"You may have arranged it quite well, but the principal and teacher in the school are too good at acting." And just as he wanted to get involved in the school, this opportunity came up. The town has never held any interest classes before, could it? Isn't it a coincidence?

Luo Wencheng's tone softened: "Since you're here, please do me another favor."

"You say."

"I want to arrange a safe future for the Zhang family. See if you can help me get an education fund to support the education of the two children on a regular basis until they graduate from college... No, until they work for two years. In my name, let them feel that I am an enthusiastic person in society." Luo Wencheng said as he walked.

Jot it down a week ago, it's simple: "That's it?"

"I have to think about the others."

Although the Zhang family's situation is difficult, it's not so difficult that they can't solve the problem. The main problems are health problems and future problems. With the protection of the education fund, the two young children can relieve the family of a big burden.

But compared to this, Zhang Shujie's problem is actually more serious. His life has almost no future at all. This is not only a financial burden, but also a heavy mental burden.

Luo Wencheng discovered that Zhang Shujie was indeed quite talented in painting, and it would be great if he could take this path. He would go to Zhang's house to teach him every day, and sometimes he would stay for an afternoon. Later, he sent the two small interest classes back after class. Have dinner by the way, and then cook a small stove for the three of them in the evening.

Only Zhang Shujie learns painting systematically every day, and the two small ones draw a lot of things, such as cartoon characters and strange-shaped things. Sometimes Luo Wencheng also teaches some mathematics, sometimes English, and sometimes even cardboard boxes. Interesting handicrafts like models, anyway, whatever the child asks him, he can teach him.

Once the interest came, he took a carrot and carved some cute little animals for the child.

His engraving skills were learned in prison while starving on an empty stomach. It's not very good, but it's not bad either. However, considering that the original intention of learning engraving was to please Luo Kaifang, he didn't like to use it. As a result of this skill, the dragon and the phoenix were so teased by him that they yelled, and instantly gave up painting and became obsessed with carving, which made him have another job teaching carving.

Zhang Qihui felt that it was too much trouble for him, so he said that he only stayed here for two or three months, and he didn't know many people, and he was idle every day, and it happened to be fate with their family, so he didn't come to their house to kill time There is nowhere to go.

Now that he has accepted Lu Chong's help, Luo Wencheng is no longer in such a hurry to make money. Xitou Town has no beautiful scenery, but it is considered beautiful. He draws those houses, water, bridges, rice fields every day, and his days are leisurely idle.

On this day, he was sitting under the big tree at the head of the bridge to draw portraits for people. Luo Wencheng often came to Zhang's house and got acquainted with the people nearby. Today, there was an old man who was embarrassed and wanted him to draw a portrait of himself.

Luo Wencheng agreed when he had nothing to do.

The dragon and phoenix twins ran over suddenly, squatted aside and watched for a long time, the elder sister Zhang Yutong finally said: "Mr. Luo, can you teach us how to carve a lamb?"

"Why do you want to carve lambs?" Luo Wencheng asked. Lambs are not so easy to carve. Holding the carving knife, Luo Wencheng felt quite dangerous.

"We want to give it to eldest brother. Today is his birthday. He is a sheep." The little girl said tenderly.

Luo Wencheng turned his head to look at Zhang Shujie who was sketching a shoe in the small shop.

Twin brother Zhang Yuyang said, "It's not the elder brother, it's the elder brother."

Luo Wencheng was even more confused.

The old man who painted the portrait said: "Is that your elder brother?" Then he said to Luo Wencheng, "There is an elder at the top of their family. I heard that he was taken away by human traffickers when he was very young. Hey, it is also pitiful."

Luo Wencheng was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, he is indeed a sheep, and it is indeed today's birthday, a lunar birthday.

"Do you celebrate your eldest brother's birthday every year?" He asked with a complicated expression.

"Well! Dad will buy a very beautiful little cake, and Mom will make a lot of delicious ones." The younger brother said.

My sister added: "Every one of us will give the elder brother a gift every year, and we put a big box in it, and we will give it to the elder brother when he comes back."

Luo Wencheng fell silent, and after a while he said to the two of them, "Go get a piece of plasticine, and I'll teach you how to sculpt."

Finally Zhang Shujie put down his drawing board and joined in. Luo Wencheng sat under the big tree in front of the canteen and taught the three of them to carve lambs.

Zhang Shujie chose a white plasticine in a regular manner.

Zhang Yuyang chose gold: "Gold is cool."

The little girl directly adjusted the color by herself: "The color is beautiful."

It was not so much a carving, but most of it was kneading. After one afternoon, the three conscientious people made a lamb with their own characteristics, while Luo Wencheng found a piece of wood and carved a wooden sheep.

Sheep are sheep, chubby and curly, and it is very comfortable to lie there halfway, without any worries.

"Mr. Luo, is this also for the eldest brother?" "Little girl Xingxing looks at this little sheep, she is so cute! Look at my own, it's ugly, but it's also cute.

Luo Wencheng looked at the sheep and put it into the little girl's hand: "Well, it's for your elder brother, please help me take it back." "

"Is the teacher not coming? "

"No, the teacher has something to do, so let's go first." "Luo Wencheng returned to his residence. This is the house that Zhou Qian arranged for him after meeting Zhou Qian. It is much better than the previous hotel."

Luo Wencheng stood in front of the window and looked at the fields in the distance. He stood there for more than an hour. The dim sunlight stretched his shadow longer and longer. When he reached the door, Zhou Qian knocked on the door and came in: "Master Luo, what should I do?" time to eat. "

Luo Wencheng didn't move, and said after a while: "Week ago, what did you say I should do?" "

Zhou Qian asked: "Are you asking if you want to meet the Zhang family?" "

"Hmm. "

"I don't know what you think. If it were me, I would recognize you. Mr. Zhang obviously misses you very much. Letting him know that you are still alive and well is a great comfort to him. If you are worried Living together is not comfortable, so I will walk around as relatives in the future, and meet several times a year..." Zhou Qian said, "Of course, this is just my idea. "

Luo Wencheng sighed, and murmured: "It would be great if it was just that simple." "

"If you're in doubt, maybe you can ask Mr. "

Sir...

Luo Wencheng leaned on the wooden window sill and lowered his eyes slightly. The setting sun dyed his eyelashes a slightly drunken color, making his face as smooth and delicate as jade. He was silent for a moment: "Let's eat." "

…

After nightfall, Luo Wencheng couldn't bear it anymore. He went out and walked around, and came to Zhang's house unknowingly. Not far away, he saw Zhang Qihui holding something with a candle, sitting under the street lamp by the river, He muttered something to himself in a low voice.

Approaching quietly, he saw clearly that it was a small cake of seven or eight inches, with a candle lit on it, small and exquisite, quite cute.

And Zhang Qihui was not talking to himself, he was talking to a photo.

"Xiufang, I'm doing fine now..."

"I just miss our son..."

"I don't know if he's doing well or not?"

"Do you know, I have an art teacher here. He is only 22 years old. He is very good-looking and a very nice person. It looks like he came from a good family and has received a good education. If our son can get along with him Just the same..."

"Wherever you are, you can do whatever you want, just don't be like Xiaojie... I'm really scared, you don't know how scared I am..."

"I have raised two more children, and I dare not tell you about them for so many years. You won't be angry, right?... You should be angry. I didn't want to have any more children at first, but I am getting older and look at the house. The place is always empty, and I feel very uncomfortable...Now, now, it's much better..."

"Xiufang, if you can hear me, just listen to me, don't worry about it, go live your own life, just cross that hurdle..."

Luo Wencheng backed away silently. By the flickering water, he raised his hand and brushed the dense and drooping branches of the willow trees.

He suddenly stood still, took out his mobile phone, found a contact, looked for a long time, and finally dialed.

Get through there soon.

"Hello, Wen Cheng."

Luo Wencheng's heart seemed to be stirred, and there was a sudden sourness in his mood, which was neither sad nor happy.

"Sir, today is my birthday." Luo Wencheng said, "Can I ask you something?"

There was a pause: "You say."

Luo Wencheng looked up at the night sky dotted with a few stars, with a smile on his lips: "Happy birthday to me."

At the same moment, Lu Chong stopped the car on the side of the road and looked up at the night sky from the car window. He held up his mobile phone and said in a deep and clear voice, "Wen Cheng, happy birthday."

"Thank you, sir."

beep-

beep beep...

The call was hung up neatly.

Lu Chong put down his phone, opened the small drawer next to it, and took out an exquisite royal blue gift box from it. This was his birthday present, but he calculated according to the Gregorian calendar, so there should be five days left. From the looks of it now, the awkward gift might not be able to be given away.

"Let's drive."

The car drove into the villa, and as soon as he entered the door, the servant said anxiously, "Sir, Ribs has been sleeping all afternoon, and he refuses to get up for dinner no matter how loud he is."

Lu Chong was stunned, and walked in quickly: "Where is it? Did you call the doctor?"

Dr. Wang was squatting by the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, in front of Ribs' favorite cat litter, turning his head and slightly shaking his head at Lu Chong.

Lu Chong's feet stopped, and the **** and yellow cat in the cat's nest was sleeping in a ball, with its fat belly rising and falling.

Lu Chong walked over, squatted down lightly, and touched its back with his hands. A few cat hairs fell off with his movements, and stuck to his hands.

"...How much longer?" Lu Chong asked calmly.

"It's just recently." Dr. Wang pushed his glasses and sighed, "You should spend more time with it these days. You can eat whatever you want, play whatever you want."

But looking at it like this, I'm afraid I can't eat or play.

Lu Chong carefully hugged the big cat into his arms: "I see, you can make a recipe suitable for it to eat now."

…

The weather was very hot. When the elementary school started, the results of the painting competition in the province also came down. Luo Wencheng won the second place this time. The organizer notified him to accept the prize. Luo Wencheng refused to attend, but agreed to go abroad to visit the art exhibition together. And do some exchanges and learning.

Luo Wencheng went to talk to Zhang Shujie, and Zhang Shujie expressed his desire to continue to learn painting about continuing to repair shoes, repair umbrellas and watch shops day after day, or rack his brains to find another way out.

Luo Wencheng asked Zhou Qian to come forward and communicate with the Disabled Persons' Federation in the name of a social sponsor. He wanted to send Zhang Shujie to study in a formal painting training institution outside, and he named a famous master.

The money was in place, the relationship was established, and Zhang Shujie's situation was still there. The Disabled Persons' Federation had no reason to refuse, and agreed to operate on the surface on its behalf, and also fired Zhang Shujie as a local model, which attracted social criticism. Donation, set up a fund to support disabled people to study and work.

After the matter was settled, Luo Wencheng had nothing to worry about. After he bid farewell to the Zhang family, Zhang Qihui personally sent him to the airport one morning.

He will return to the provincial capital first, and then go abroad with those awardees.

But just before boarding the plane, he received a call from Lu Chong.

Luo Wencheng was very surprised. The last time he called Lu Chong was an accident. He warned himself not to contact Lu Chong again, but he didn't expect Lu Chong to call him.

He picked it up: "Sir?"

"Wen Cheng, you... can you come back, ribs want to see you."
