Although Xu Jie is still wearing a mask, he can now look directly into Wen Yan's eyes and speak.
Although his voice lost subtle pitch changes due to damage to his vocal cords.
But Wen Yan could still feel the tenderness in his tone and the love of a father for his daughter.
"Wen Yan, I don't know what the family members who usually get along with you call you. Can I call you Yan Yan?"
"Of course, that's what they usually call me."
Xu Jie nodded: "Yan Yan."
He called out tentatively first, as if even these two words were precious to him.
"Yan Yan, everything about you is simply a gift from God to me. I am really happy that you exist in this world, and I am also happy that you are living so well now. Really, this is all I mean it from the bottom of my heart. But please forgive me, I really don't want to scare you.
"Your eyes are very beautiful, as beautiful as your mother's eyes. What you see should be beautiful things. Not a face like mine. I am really, really sorry for you mother and daughter, in this life I don’t know what I should use to repay it. The only thing I can do now is not to disturb you, not to drag you down, not to embarrass you and scare you. So I can’t take off this mask today.”
In fact, Wen Yan can understand Xu Jie's current thoughts.
She nodded: "I understand. I don't have to force you, and I won't do anything to make you feel embarrassed. But there is one thing you are wrong about. You are not something bad in my eyes. Things. When my mother told me the dream, she said it’s not your fault, so don’t blame yourself.
"The fact that I was adopted by such a good family in the orphanage may be a blessing that you bought for me. You helped the children in the orphanage go to school, so a kind man came and took me back home. They gave me the care of my relatives, a comfortable life, supported me in studying and going to university, and introduced me to the world. I believe it is all because of you.
"Otherwise there are thousands of orphans in the world, so why was it that I was adopted by such a kind family?"
Wen Yan's words greatly comforted Xu Jie.
Tears filled his eyes again: "The Shen family is a kind family, and you are also very kind. They taught you well. If this is the cause and effect I brought to you, that would be really great. I will still do it Use the time I have left to get on with it.”
People need to be driven and have faith in life, especially in a situation like Xu Jie's. Wen Yan supports him in doing good deeds, but when doing good deeds, he must set a scale based on his own situation.
"Dad Xu," Wen Yan thought for a while and finally tried to persuade her, "I admire what you have done, but you must first ensure your own living conditions. I heard from Director Wang that you are basically taking everything into account now." I have donated all my allowances, and I live on the salary of one or two thousand yuan from working in the factory. Have you considered changing the current situation?"
Xu Jie shook his head: "I won't move away. I took the initiative to find that job myself. I didn't even ask for a salary at the beginning. As I told you, it used to be my and your mother's home. As long as it's there, If I don’t tear it down, I will never leave it until I die.
"The person in charge of the park later found out about me, so he insisted on paying me a salary. Even though it was just a tin hut, it still had all the necessary things. It had air conditioning, a kitchen, and a wooden roof on the roof. Solar water heater. My life is really not as bad as you think.
"I also own real estate in my hometown, but I don't want to go back to live there. Only by living in that tin hut can I feel at ease. Farming and raising cats all year round, I really feel good about it.
"Now that I know you exist, I can still look for your videos on my phone every day and watch them. If you don't mind, I can also send you messages. I can still come and talk to your mother every now and then. This is the past. Do you know what I have never dared to ask for for more than ten years? I feel that I am very happy now. I don’t want to change anymore.
"I don't need you to help me improve anything, and I don't need you to bear any legal responsibility for me. I'll be satisfied if you just call me Dad Xu."
"Okay." Wen Yan sighed softly in her heart. We are really the same people, but they are all different. Everyone's way of surviving and living in this world is different.
But there is no doubt that just choose the one you are most comfortable with.
She respects Xu Jie's choice.
"Then don't change. I usually reply to messages when I see them. It's just that sometimes I'm busy with work and I may not reply in time. But it's just not in time. There must be no other meaning. So you are welcome to send me messages."
"good."
"I will also visit you when I have time in the future."
"Actually, no need to bother."
"How troublesome it can be, I just want to see you once."
"Okay, thank you. By the way, I have one more request."
"What?"
Xu Jie looked at the food on the ground with some embarrassment: "Can I pack all of these and take them away?"
"sure!"
Without saying a word, Wen Yan immediately knelt down and started cleaning up.
Xu Jie wanted to help, but seeing her quick movements, he couldn't get in the way.
He looked at Wen Yan and felt extremely satisfied.
His and Xiaorou's daughter is really good!
After packing the lunch box, Wen Yan handed it to Xu Jie together with the bag.
"You should go back too, it's time to rest. There will be plenty of time to see mom in the future."
"good."
Xu Jie also wanted to walk a few more steps with Wen Yan, even if he didn't say a word along the way.
The two of them descended the stairs slowly and quickly, and finally completed the short section of the road.
"Then I'll ride back."
Xu Jie said goodbye to Wen Yan first and walked in the direction of his electric car.
Wen Yan followed him two steps, then stood there and watched him go.
As a result, no one expected that Xu Jie's electric car suddenly stopped after running for more than ten meters.
He tried several times, but the car couldn't start again.
When Wen Yan saw this, she immediately ran over.
"What's wrong? Is the car out of battery?"
"It still has electricity. I charged it all day before going out. I don't know what went wrong."
Saying that, Xu Jie got out of the car and started to check.
Looking at the dilapidated car body, Wen Yan couldn't help but ask, "Have you bought this car a long time ago?"
"It's been over ten years."
"It's been a long time. Why don't you just scrap it and I'll give you a new one?"
"No," Xu Jie refused immediately, "Maybe it can be repaired."
"You know how to repair it yourself? But there are no tools here."
"I'll take another look and maybe it will work."
Xu Jie tried to push the car body, but this time it was wrong.
The rear wheel immediately fell apart. If Wen Yan hadn't quickly bent down and reached out to stop it, the wheel would have rolled two miles down the slope.
She looked at Xu Jie, feeling a little embarrassed for the unsatisfactory car.
"You see, it chose to be scrapped on its own."
"Are you okay?" Xu Jie quickly threw away the car and held on to the wheel. "Did I hit you? Are you dirty?"
"No, this guy is so slow that he hasn't even had time to touch me."
At this time, Shen Jingxiu also got out of the car and walked over.
After a few people discussed it, they decided to put the scrapped car here first.
Xu Jie took Shen Jingxiu's car back to his scrap park, and then drove his Sanbengzi, which he usually used to collect scraps, tow the scrapped car away.
Although Wen Yan felt that there was no need to get this scrapped car, Xu Jie still insisted on doing so.
When getting in the car, Xu Jie kept holding the meal bag Wen Yan gave her.
He didn't talk much. Although Wen Yan could be a talker, she didn't want to make an awkward conversation, so she suggested that he lean on his seat and squint for a while.
It wasn't until they reached their destination that Wen Yan called him softly.
"Dad Xu, we're here."
Xu Jie immediately opened his eyes: "Okay, thank you. You can go back directly."
After saying that, Xu Jie opened the car door and got out of the car.
However, Wen Yan was not in a hurry to leave because he saw a man smoking standing at the door of the tin house.
This man's face looked very fierce, and Wen Yan felt a little uneasy subconsciously. So I decided to stay in the car and observe.
She opened the car window halfway and could clearly hear the man talking to Xu Jie.
Especially since the man has a loud voice.
"Where have you been, Third Brother! I've been waiting for you for a long time. Who is that? How did you get out of their car? It's a luxury car."
Xu Jie didn't want people to know about his relationship with Wen Yan.
He casually explained: "My car broke down, and they were kind-hearted people who gave me a ride without any problems."
"Which car? That second-hand eDonkey of yours? I told you a long time ago that I would give you one as a gift. You haven't wanted it. Now, let's go back to the road. Now, I'll give you the cardboard box you don't want this month. You delivered it, neat and clean!"
"Thanks."
"Thank you! I also brought you meat. If I hadn't brought you meat, I would have left long ago because I was afraid that the wild cats you adopted would eat it, so I wouldn't have waited for you here. I was so cold that I couldn't even drink hot water. No need to drink."
As he said that, the man entered the tin hut with Xu Jie.
The two said something else inside, but Wen Yan couldn't hear it.
But when he came out, the man suddenly knocked on the driver's window.
Shen Jingxiu lowered the window, his face was naturally stern.
The man with a fierce look smiled and handed a cigarette to Shen Jingxiu.
"Thanks, buddy, thank you for sending my brother home."
Although Shen Jingxiu didn't have the habit of smoking, he took a look at the polite man and took the cigarette.
"You are welcome."
When the man saw Shen Jingxiu taking the cigarette, he became even more enthusiastic.
"Let me tell you, this buddy of mine is a good man. If you help him, you will definitely be rewarded. Come on, drive slowly on the road. This road is not easy to drive."
Shen Jingxiu nodded to greet this man.
After the man drove away, Wen Yan got out of the car.
Just at this time, Xu Jie also walked out of the tin house.
He was a little surprised to see Wen Yan still there.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
Wen Yan smiled: "Is that your friend just now?" She thought he had no friends except Wen Chengcai.
Xu Jie nodded: "That's right. Do you remember the person in charge of this park that I just told you about? It was him. My current salary was paid to me by him. He came to deliver paper shells to me today. In his factory He would regularly give me cardboard boxes. He knew that I sold these to donate money to the children.”
Wen Yan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt very embarrassed: "That's because I'm superficial. I only saw his appearance just now and thought he was a bad guy looking for trouble. I really took it for granted."
"Don't say that. You are right to think so. Especially if you are a girl, it is not without benefit to think bad things about strangers."
"Well," Wen Yan nodded, "Since he's not here to cause trouble, I'll leave first. I may have to go back to the mountains to film a movie soon, and there may be no signal when I join the set."
"Then you must take care of your body."
"I will, and so will you."
On the way back, Wen Yan didn't sit in the back anymore, but got into the passenger seat.
There was still the cigarette that Shen Jingxiu had just picked up in the car. Wen Yan reached out to take it and played with it between her fingers.
Shen Jingxiu glanced at her: "What are you thinking about?"
She doesn't seem to make any small moves at ordinary times. She must have something on her mind when she does such a small move.
Wen Yan came back to her senses because of Shen Jingxiu's question.
She asked Shen Jingxiu: "Do you smoke?"
Shen Jingxiu shook his head: "No."
"Then you still accept it," Wen Yan looked at Shen Jingxiu with a smile, "I know that brother, you are actually a very gentle person at heart. If you didn't accept this cigarette just now, that person will definitely not tell us that we will Something like a blessing or something.”
Shen Jingxiu was silent for a moment, and then said: "Isn't there a lyric that says, 'If you are willing to peel off my heart layer by layer, you will find, you will be surprised.' It’s like when you see that man for the first time, you intuitively think he’s not a good person. But that’s not necessarily the case.”
"Yes!" Wen Yan sighed exaggeratedly, "In these short few days, I really have a lot of emotions! Brother."
"Um?"
"Brother!!"
"What's wrong?" Shen Jingxiu looked at Wen Yan, "Speak."
Wen Yan sat up from the chair and said in an excited and determined tone, "I suddenly want to do something! I really want to do something."
"Oh?" Seeing how excited she was, Shen Jingxiu couldn't help but become interested, "What's the matter?"
But Wen Yan smiled: "I can't tell you now! But I just really want to."
"Then that's too unkind of you. Isn't it just to whet my appetite?"
"Because it's just an idea now, and we need to find someone to implement it together."
Shen Jingxiu immediately frowned: "So the person who is together can't be me?"
"Well..." Wen Yan thought about it seriously, "We can't do it now, the time is not yet ripe."
Shen Jingxiu shook his head helplessly. She was the first person who dared to tempt him and sell him off like this.
But he really couldn't do anything to her.
After all, if this matter were to be dealt with by others, he could handle it with a cold look.
"Okay, remember to tell me when the time comes, but I don't want to be the last to know, okay?" (End of Chapter)
