Chapter 78
"Ye'an, why don't you call me on your cell phone, I just picked it up." Chen Bailuo remembered just now, but luckily those two people were so drunk that they passed out.
"Ah, my mobile phone broke down recently and I'm repairing it. I called you from an outside phone. Are you busy with something?" I thought I had delayed Chen Bailuo's work.
"No, by the way, what are you calling me for?"
"That's right, do you still remember Ji Chenxi?"
"Ji Chenxi, who is it?"
"It's the child you asked me to take care of first."
"Oh, that's his name. It's the same surname as yours. Has something happened to him?"
It turned out that Bai Luo didn't even know his name, "It's okay, it's just that I think he's old enough to go to school, and there's only a kindergarten in the town, so he can go to school first. It's just that he doesn't have a registered permanent residence, so he can't sign up. So can you think of a way?"
Chen Bailuo was very efficient in handling affairs, and went through all the procedures in one go, and also paid all of Ji Chenxi's tuition fees by the way.
I saw the little guy wearing a white school uniform and plaid overalls, and I found it even more cute.
"Shen Xi, when you enter the kindergarten, you have to get along well with the children, you know, you have to listen to the teacher."
Ji Chenxi nodded.
I took Ji Chenxi to the kindergarten.
"You are Ji Chenxi's parent, you are really young."
"Ah... yes. I will trouble you, Mr. Shen, to take care of our Shen Xi." I could only laugh.The household registration that Chen Bailuo helped to set up, said that I was Ji Chenxi's father, called Ji Xiang, and I was also worried that others would know my real identity.
I bent down and patted Ji Chenxi's small shoulder, "Shen Xi has to attend class well, you know, after class I...cough cough, dad is here to pick you up."
Ji Chenxi just turned his head and ignored me.
I smiled awkwardly at the teacher, "Teacher, Shen Xi is a bit introverted, please take care of me more."
"Ok, no problem."
The teacher wanted to hold Ji Chenxi's hand, but Ji Chenxi put his hands behind his back, suddenly turned his head and said to me: "When you go back to the store, cross the road and look for a car." Then he turned his head and walked into the kindergarten .
My bookstore is opposite the kindergarten, and I noticed the passing vehicles walking slowly towards the bookstore.
The bookstore is only occupied when the children are out of school, and it is very quiet at other times.
There is a photo of me and Ji Chenxi on the cash register. In the photo, Ji Chenxi is rarely smiling. I don't know how hard it took me to make him laugh.
In fact, after having Ji Chenxi, my life has obviously changed, and it really is different when I have one more person to accompany me.And he is still such a cold-looking but warm-hearted child.
The first time I saw Ji Chenxi, I thought he was very similar to Nanfeng Lin in terms of personality and appearance, but now it seems that Ji Chenxi is many times better than Nanfeng Lin.
After waiting for half a year, let's take Ji Chenxi to a better primary school in a bigger city.
I saw that the time was almost up, so I waited at the gate of the kindergarten. During the period, some people greeted me, and I said that I was here to pick up my child.
I looked at Ji Chenxi's small body carrying a big schoolbag, and I reached out to grab it.
"I can move my back, there are not many books in it."
I saw that Ji Chenxi insisted, and went back to the bookstore without saying anything.
There are already several children in the bookstore playing with free toys.
Ji Chenxi took a small book and sat next to me.
I patted him on the back, "No homework?"
"I just did it in class."
The child is still young and only goes to kindergarten. As long as the homework is completed on time, it is very important to have a happy childhood.
The child saw that the books on the bookshelf were messed up, so he ran to clean them up.
"Shen Xi, in order to celebrate you going to kindergarten today, I will make you dinner tonight."
Ji Chenxi's brows knit together on his fair face.
"Hey, Shen Xi, what do you mean, is the food I cook so unpalatable?" I'm not annoyed, but every time Ji Chenxi hears that I'm going to cook, he will say, "You can't eat the food you cook." ' look.
Ji Chenxi piled up the scattered books neatly, "Then let's go home."
I patted his head, "Let's go."
Ji Chenxi always knew that I was hiding from people, but he never asked who I was hiding from, or why I was hiding from him.
I have never used a card, and I have always used cash. Chen Bailuo took it out from City A and delivered it to me.
Even if you don't use Nan Fengyan's card, but use Chen Bailuo's card, the inexplicable consumption records are always in a small town, fearing that Nan Fengyan will be suspicious.
But recently I haven't been able to contact Chen Bailuo, and my money is about to run out.At first, Chen Bailuo wanted to give me a large sum of money first, but after a day or two after the news of my death, Chen Bailuo withdrew so much cash, Nan Fengyan would inevitably check the whereabouts of the money.
In fact, as I said at the beginning, bookstores are only used to pass the time, and there is no money to be made at all. Children usually come to read books for free, and they will not buy them.Therefore, the bookstore can only earn more than 400 yuan a month at most, and after deducting the utility bills, it is only about [-] yuan.
Chen Bailuo has not contacted me for more than a month, and I don't know if he is safe or not.
Ji Chenxi just glanced at the dining table and sat down to eat without saying anything.
Takeaway is too expensive, so recently I cook by myself. Although the food I cook is not delicious, it is not difficult to swallow.
I put the meat on the plate to Ji Chenxi, "Eat more meat."
Ji Chenxi also took a piece of meat from the plate and gave it to me, "You eat too."
I suddenly felt that I really had the feeling of raising a son, and I was also a well-behaved and sensible son.
I think it is still necessary to tell Ji Chenxi about the current situation, because I don't know how long this situation will take, "Shen Xi, you have also found out recently, our family is a little tight financially."
"Ah."
"It's just that I don't know how long this situation will last, and most importantly, we may not be able to stay here anymore."
Ji Chenxi raised his head and glanced at me lightly, "It's okay."
I think that although this child knows more than children of the same age, his reaction is really too flat.
"Shen Xi, don't ask me why, just say 'it doesn't matter'." I smiled helplessly.
"The household registration says that you are my father, and I will follow you wherever you go." The tone was still light.
I have to say that Ji Chenxi usually doesn't like to talk, but every time he says something, I can be moved for a long time.
"Okay, let's pack up later."
I sold all the books and educational toys in the bookstore at half price. The bookstore was half empty, and there were more than 2 yuan, which was enough for me and Ji Chenxi to live for a while.
Time to do some small business.
I went to the supermarket first, thinking that it was almost school time, and I was about to pick up Ji Chenxi across the road, when I saw two black cars parked in front of my small bookstore.
I yelled inwardly that it was not good, and hid aside and watched them secretly.
Looking at the people getting off the car, I tightened my grip on the crutches in my hand, but my body couldn't stop trembling.
I saw the man who had caused my nightmares all my life.
Nan Fengyan got out of the car and looked around, Gu Yechen was still following behind.
At this time, I just saw Ji Chenxi who was crossing the road. He looked suspiciously at several cars parked in front of the bookstore.
Several guards at the door also saw Ji Chenxi and urged him to leave.
Ji Chenxi and Nanfeng Lin look alike, so naturally they are somewhat similar to Nanfeng Yan.
Nanfeng Yan looked at the little boy, "Is this bookstore run by your family?"
Ji Chenxi blinked his big eyes and nodded.
"What's your name?"
"Ji Chenxi." I looked at Ji Chenxi's little hands clutching the corner of his clothes with some unease.
After all, he is only a few years old, and he will inevitably be scared when he sees such a situation.
"Your surname is Ji. The person who runs this bookstore is called Ji Ye'an, right?"
Sure enough, he came to see me.
I looked at Ji Chenxi worriedly from the side, and now I am even more afraid that something will happen to him.
Ji Chenxi tilted his head, "Ji Ye'an, I don't know him."
"Really?" Nan Fengyan narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Brother doesn't like deceitful children."
Ji Chenxi still didn't know anything, and his big eyes were steaming.
"Then who owns this bookstore in your family?"
"My father, Ji Xiang." The little guy's voice was trembling.
This is the first time I've seen Ji Chenxi look so scared.
"Your father?" Nan Fengyan looked complicated, "Then your father...can your father walk on his left leg?"
Ji Chenxi lowered his head in fear, "Dad went out to work before and broke a leg."
Gu Yechen stepped forward, "Nanfeng, this is really just a coincidence, and Ji Ye'an has been with you almost since childhood, how could a child suddenly appear out of nowhere."
"Impossible, he must be An An, otherwise why would Chen Bailuo keep running here."
Gu Yechen hurriedly explained: "Didn't Bai Luo say before that there is a scenic spot near this place, and the Chen family is developing tourism recently, so come over and have a look."
"Impossible! Impossible, An'an must be here!"
As Nan Fengyan said, he suddenly squatted down and grabbed Ji Chenxi's clothes, "I tell you, don't try to lie to me, do you know who your father is?!"
Nan Fengyan went crazy, he didn't care if he was a child or not, I was about to go out, when I saw Ji Chenxi glance towards me, as if warning me not to come over.
Ji Chenxi's face was full of tears, "My father is Ji Xiang, uh...you bully me, let me go..."
"Nanfeng, just let this kid go."
Nan Fengyan glanced at Ji Chenxi again, finally let him go and walked into the bookstore.
While Ji Chenxi was crying, he pretended to walk towards me unintentionally.
Those who followed Nan Fengyan didn't care about a child at all, and just stood guard at the door of the bookstore.
Ji Chenxi just turned around and walked up to me, "Shen Xi, are you okay?"
I wiped the tears on Ji Chenxi's face with my sleeve.
"Stop talking about this, they are here to catch you, let's go." Ji Chenxi's mood changed quickly, and before I could react, he pulled my clothes and walked forward.
