my dream space

Chapter 382 As long as your brother is here

After enduring five days of humiliation, An Ran's father was finally able to send Xia Kun, a pig, away.

The resentment towards Xia Kun is resentment, but he still likes the lively and lovely Xia Ke. He kept talking and laughing with Xia Ke when parting, so as to avoid the embarrassment of saying goodbye to Xia Kun.

"Don't be in such a hurry to drive the car, you should wait for me..."

An Ran appeared outside the house with two bags of things, and An Ran's father panicked, "You won't be going to their house for the New Year, are you?"

"Dad, what are you thinking! There are a lot of people during the Chinese New Year, I'll send them off."

"Then what's in your bag?"

"Just a little gift prepared by Mom and I." An Ran muttered, turning her head away.

"I haven't even met my parents formally. What kind of festival is it? No, Xia Kun lost to me in basketball, so you can't be with him."

"You still have the nerve to mention that! Xia Kun doesn't know how many balls you let, I'm really not ashamed." Lin Anran didn't take Dad's last duel seriously at all, "Okay...there are so many people during the Chinese New Year, let's hurry up lets go."

In fact, Xia Ke usually doesn't have the opportunity to chat with An Ran for too long. After all, the pressure of preparing for the exam is quite high. On the way to the bus station, Xia Ke started chatting, leaving his brother aside and chatting with An Ran. , the topic turned to Yang Yaqing.

"Sister An Ran, you are under so much competition pressure now, is it really appropriate for that sister Yaqing to get close to you?"

"Although your brother is a scumbag, he doesn't fall in love with anyone. If he said he doesn't have feelings for Yang Yaqing, he won't develop a relationship with her."

"Well...do you trust my brother so much?" Xia Ke stuck out her tongue, "I know, my brother is a very sullen person, and he rarely speaks his truth in front of others. I don't know what he was thinking."

"Yeah..." Lin Anran smiled and shook her head, "But when two people get along, trust is also a very important part. If you can't even do this, then it's hard to call it a relationship." I like it so much."

Listening to what An Ran said, the corners of Xia Ke's mouth couldn't stop rising.

"My brother is really a sinful man."

An Ran patted Xia Ke on the head with a smile, "Don't be so fickle like your brother in the future."

"Don't worry, Miss An Ran, I'm a very dedicated girl." Xia Ke said with a smile.

I just like my brother, no one can compare to my brother Xia Kun.

This winter is colder than last year, and Xia Kun and Xia Ke's journey back to their hometown is very congested, which is very different from Xia Kun's previous experience when he was studying.

"What's going on..." The bus kept bumping on the road.

"It's because of the high-speed rail. It is said that the high-speed rail station in Hongmei County will pass through our township, and then the land price will rise."

"Land prices have gone up, but what about our fish pond?"

"Haha, brother, you drive such a powerful car, don't you aspire to be the leader of the phantom thief group that saves the world, why are you still thinking about getting rich overnight?"

"Just asking casually." Xia Kun said, "But the fish pond should be regarded as agricultural land in theory, and if we sell it, others can't build a house on it."

"That's right, but that guy Xia Xingliang has been looking for someone outside through his connections, trying to resell the loss-making fish pond at a high price..."

"..."

Xia Kun looked at the unconvinced younger sister, "Are you and our dad fighting again?"

"Yeah." Xia Ke nodded, "He took the scholarship you earned after graduating from college and invested it again. Now that the year is over, he hasn't seen half of the money. The last time I went home, my mother told me about these things. I just said a few words to him, and then we started arguing."

"So you didn't go home on National Day?"

Xia Ke nodded, "Sister An Ran's home is so comfortable...why should I go back and be angry with Dad."

Xia Kun only contacted his family members once a month, which was considered a very low frequency among college students, and he really had nothing to talk to his family members about.

Xia Kun's father, Xia Xingliang, didn't care about how Xia Kun was doing outside. He was focused on his fish pond business. His mother was also a housewife with no independent ideas. She called Xia Kun to ask about Xia Kun's current food and clothing expenses. When Kun asked about things at home, she always said nothing.

Xia Kun and Xia Ke returned home and saw a middle-aged uncle sitting and smoking at the door of Xia Kun's house. Xia Ke subconsciously hid behind Xia Kun when he saw it. Standing up and walking forward, "Are you Xia Kun, Xia Xingliang's son?"

Xia Kun nodded, "Uncle...what's the matter?"

"Do you have your dad's phone number? I have something to do with your dad."

"Um... isn't he at home?"

"No, I've been squatting at your house for several days... Where can people go when it's Chinese New Year?"

Xia Kun tried to call his father, but the caller ID showed that the phone was turned off.

Xia Kun will no longer continue to try to make a phone call, "Uncle, just tell me how much my dad owes you."

"Hey, you child... It's an adult's business, your child is still—"

"I'm not a child," Xia Kun said lightly, "Tell me how much my dad still owes you. He's been avoiding you so much, so he must have no money to pay you back. I have some savings, let's see how much I can pay you back." .”

The uncle thought for a while, and finally took out the crumpled IOU from his pocket, "Boy, it's not that I want to make things difficult for you, you are the pride of our Zhulin Township, and my uncle also came to your school entrance banquet, but your father is really... ..."

Xia Kun took the IOU and looked at it, "Fifty thousand, right...how much is the total including interest?"

"Forget about the interest. Originally, your father asked me to pay dividends, so I wanted to get it back... You can't afford this money as a child, or—"

Xia Kun took out his mobile phone and fiddled with it for a while, then checked the balance in his account, "I'll transfer [-] yuan to you first. Please make a note of it on the IOU. I'll pay you back as soon as I get the rest of the money."

"Hey! Well... You are indeed a promising child... Oh, I am so sorry to ask you to pay back the money from a child after the Chinese New Year...It is true that our family has been unable to open the pot recently. My second son is running a company outside , the loan owed more than 200 million and disappeared, and now the police are still looking for him everywhere—”

"Uncle, send me your account number, and I will forward it to you online."

"The account number is my phone number, I'll help you enter—"

Xia Kun watched the uncle enter the password there, and immediately raised his mouth and asked, "Uncle, do you know how much my dad owes outside?"

"I don't dare to say this clearly... But relatives and friends should have borrowed it once. Your father said in September that he wanted to expand the breeding or something to attract us into the business. We will lend him money for your sake. He They also contracted dozens of acres of fish ponds. It was booming at first, but someone later reported that there was a problem with the property right certificate of the fish ponds that your father had issued, and the village took back all the fish ponds newly contracted by your father. I couldn’t let go of the previous fishpond, and then a large area died, and this year’s winter was too cold…”

The middle-aged uncle walked away anxiously with his cell phone in his hands. Xia Ke tightly held the corner of his brother's clothes, played with the newly bought Pingguo 11 in his hand, and slowly began to sob.

"Don't cry, Ake."

Xia Kun bowed and wiped the tears from Ake's face, "Your brother has grown up now. No matter what happens, as long as your brother is here, our family will not collapse easily."

　The conflicts between Xia Kun and his father will basically involve very practical issues. This is the meaning of this line, and Xia Kun's growth is also based on this.
