Xiao Shutong walked for a long time with the gift and found the villa area. His father’s place is a bit out of the way. Usually, rich people drive here by themselves. Xiao Shutong sees that the bus can’t go directly, so he always takes the bus to the destination first, then takes a taxi and waits for the bus Also waited a long time.

Knocking on the door, it was a girl with curly hair who opened the door, looking at fourteen or fifteen years old, Xiao Shutong was a little dazed, "Hello, I'm here to pay New Year's greetings, I..."

Before Xiao Shutong could finish speaking, the curly-haired girl opened the door wide, let go of the hand holding the door, "Come in." After finishing speaking, the person had already entered first.

Xiao Shutong breathed a sigh of relief, carried his things and entered the door.

In the big living room, the girl from just now was already sitting on the sofa putting on her makeup, and there was a small bag on the table, as if she was about to go out.

An aunt wearing a gray apron came over from the kitchen, "Hello, may I ask who you are."

Before Xiao Shutong could speak, the curly-haired girl who was sitting on the sofa and putting on makeup said, "He's here to find my father, go and shout for him."

The aunt nodded when she heard it, "Then sit down, I'll call sir."

Xiao Shutong nodded, thought for a while, walked over and sat on the sofa chair beside him.

"You are my father's former son, right? I've heard of you, and I know you too. You're from the high school attached to the middle school." The curly-haired girl was talking to Xiao Shutong while looking at her makeup in the mirror.

Xiao Shutong nodded upon hearing that, "Yes."

"I saw you on our school forum, and I heard from my dad, so I know, you're pretty good."

Xiao Shutong didn't know how to answer, but fortunately, a mature man in casual clothes came downstairs at this time.

Xiao Shutong stood up, "Father, Happy Chinese New Year, this is a small gift, don't dislike it."

Xiao Zhenghao looked at his son, whom he hadn't seen for more than a year, "Come here, buy something, sit down." His voice had the majesty of a superior.

Xiao Shutong nodded, and the aunt who had just followed the call to come down stepped forward to take the gift in Xiao Shutong's hand and walked away.

Xiao Zhenghao was about to say something to Xiao Shutong when he saw his daughter next to him, "Xiao Yao, are you going out?"

Xiao Yao, the curly-haired girl just now, replied, "Yeah, isn't it good-looking, my classmate invited me out to play."

Xiao Zhenghao looked at his daughter, "Those who celebrate the new year, where to go to play, stay away from home, next year will take the high school entrance examination, so you know how to play."

"Oh, Dad, you have to take care of the holidays. School will start in a few days. Our senior high school entrance examination is already under great pressure. It's rare for us to take a break and not let people play."

As soon as Xiao Yao acted like a spoiled child, Xiao Zhenghao became discouraged. He doted on this daughter, "Where's your brother?"

"Who knows him, he hasn't gotten up yet." Xiao Yao didn't care about her twin brother.

"Look at you." Xiao Zhenghao was very helpless with his two children, and saw Xiao Shutong sitting on the side, "Look at Shutong, he is one year older than you, how can he be so sensible."

Xiao Yao was not happy when Xiao Zhenghao praised Xiao Shutong, "What's the matter, Dad, do you want to adopt Xiao Shutong back, and then I don't want me and my brother?" Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Shutong again while talking, "You Don't even think about spending our family's money."

Xiao Yao said and sat next to his father, "Dad, if you say that my brother is not good, it has nothing to do with me. Don't you love me anymore?"

Xiao Zhenghao used such a metaphor, how could it be like what Xiao Yao said, "Oh, you girl, what are you messing around with?"

At this time, another well-dressed woman came down the stairs, "Who did I think it was, it was Shutong."

Jiang Yaxin was a few years younger than Zhang Jingwan, and she didn't look like someone with such a big pair of children at all.

Xiao Shutong stood up again, "Hello, Auntie."

"Hello, sit down, why are you polite?" Jiang Yaxin saw Xiao Shutong stand up and quickly waved him to sit.

While talking, the doorbell rang again, and Xiao Yao jumped up as soon as she heard the sound, "He must have come to pick me up this time." As she spoke, she rushed towards the door with her small bag in her hand, and when the door opened, she faintly heard the boy Xiao Yao turned around and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm going out to play." She turned around and ran away without waiting for anyone's answer.

Jiang Yaxin looked at her fiery daughter, "This child."

Turning to Xiao Shutong again, "Shutong, I heard that you passed the entrance examination to the attached middle school? You must be doing well in your studies."

Xiao Shutong replied politely, "It's okay."

"Xiao Yao and Xiao Wei are also in the attached middle school, and they should be promoted after the high school entrance examination next year." Jiang Yaxin thought she looked at Xiao Shutong lovingly, "If you have anything to do in the future, just tell them, they can help Well, we will definitely help you."

Jiang Yaxin has had some thoughts since the death of Xiao Shutong's grandmother. She was afraid that Xiao Shutong would like to come back to his father because of their family's conditions. But the nature of the return is different.

But if Xiao Shutong knew the comparison, he would know that Xiao Zhenghao's monthly living expenses for Xiao Shutong might not be worth the weekly expenses of Xiao Yao and Xiao Wei.But even if Xiao Shutong knew about it, he didn't have the heart to get angry, he wanted to get rid of such a cheap family relationship even before he was an adult.

Xiao Shutong smiled, "There's nothing to help, I'm fine."

"Yeah, I know you are very good. I think your grandma left you a lot of money. There is no problem in life. Don't worry about the tuition fees. When you go to your college tuition fees, your father will give him what he should pay. Yes." Jiang Yaxin knew that Zhang Jingwan's mother was also an employee, so she must have a pension.

Xiao Shutong didn't know how to answer this sentence, fortunately he didn't open his mouth, just nodded and sat quietly, the pain in his heart was only felt by himself.

That's why, even with his mother, he doesn't like the past, at least he can be calm on the surface, and Liang Zhen can't hurt people, but on his father's side, because of Jiang Yaxin, Xiao Shutong was still young before, and he had never seen them at all. , When grandma died, because Xiao Shutong was not yet an adult, the guardian would be there to deal with these.

I met Jiang Yaxin at his grandmother's funeral. Later, his father brought Jiang Yaxin to pay him living expenses. In the past, his parents would charge the living expenses to his grandmother's card.When grandma passed away, she had to express it in front of Xiao Shutong.

At that time, Jiang Yaxin was very angry. At that time, Xiao Shutong expressed that she wanted to live in a place with grandma's atmosphere, and she didn't want to go to any place. Jiang Yaxin was obviously relieved.

But Xiao Shutong was not an adult for a day, and Jiang Yaxin was always worried that Xiao Shutong knew that his father was richer, and wanted to share a share of the pie.

Xiao Zhenghao also knew about Jiang Yaxin's thoughts. He really didn't have any feelings for Xiao Shutong, and it was impossible to raise him, "Shutong, stay here today, play for two more days before going back."

Jiang Yaxin heard, "Yes, yes, let's play for a few more days."

Xiao Shutong took a deep breath in his heart, "No need, grandma's house is well tidied up and everything is there. I thought that I haven't been out for a long time, and the windows haven't been closed properly. I thought it would be boring to let the room breathe in winter." Words are of course an excuse.

Jiang Yaxin was very happy to hear it, but it was impossible to say clearly, "You child, why didn't you check it when you went out? It's rare to come here. It's more comfortable to live here."

Xiao Zhenghao didn't care much, "You can do whatever you want, stay here today, see what you want to eat and tell your aunt, let the kitchen prepare it."

It is impossible for Xiao Zhenghao to sit here all the time with a child.After speaking, he stood up, "I have something to do in the study."

Xiao Shutong nodded, "Father, go slowly."

Seeing her husband gone, Jiang Yaxin didn't have such a flattering attitude towards Xiao Shutong, "Shutong, just tell me what you want to eat."

"Auntie, I don't have anything to eat, just eat whatever the kitchen cooks." How could Xiao Shutong actually order food just for a polite word.

"Okay, Auntie told the kitchen to make more things that you can't usually eat, and try something new."

Jiang Yaxin called someone to order the dishes for noon and evening, "Also, there are guests coming to pay New Year's greetings today. Prepare more."

The servant obeyed the order and left. Jiang Yaxin continued to chat with Xiao Shutong for a while, and saw her son coming down the stairs, "Xiao Wei, why did you just get up? You played games until late yesterday, so you should stop playing." Games, don't worry about the high school entrance exam."

The one who came down was Jiang Yaxin's son Xiao Wei. Xiao Wei was impatient and someone would say to him when he woke up, "Mom, are you annoying? You've become a yellow-faced woman by nagging every day. Don't worry about whether I can do it or not."

"Brat, who are you talking about?" Jiang Yaxin was definitely not happy to hear what Xiao Wei said. She looked very young, so how could she be a yellow-faced woman.

Xiao Wei ignored his mother, and was stunned when he saw Xiao Shutong, "Who is this?"

Jiang Yaxin glanced sideways at Xiao Shutong, "This is Shutong, your father's son."

Xiao Wei picked up the apple on the table and took a bite, "Why, besides my son, does my father have any other sons?"

Xiao Wei has heard of Xiao Shutong, but he just doesn't want to admit it. The last time his father said about this son, he heard that his studies are very good, and he got into the high school attached to him by his own ability. Hearing such a comparison, Xiao Wei is also happy to think about it Can't get up.

Jiang Yaxin pretended to be angry, "You kid, you know how to talk nonsense." She turned her head and smiled at Xiao Shutong, "Shutong, don't be angry, he's still young. He's not sensible."

Xiao Shutong sneered in his heart, still young?It seems that they are a little more than one year younger than him, and it can also be seen when Xiao Zhenghao cheated.

"It's okay." Xiao Shutong replied coldly and didn't say anything else, Jiang Yaxin smiled, "Xiao Wei, take Shutong to the game room or the audio-visual room later, there are guests here, later there The family also has children, who should be two or three years younger than you, so you can play with them."

Xiao Wei ate the apple, "I don't have the habit of bringing children, I'm going to play games later."

"Play the game for a while, don't be rude, it's your father's partner here, not someone else, don't know how to play in a day." Jiang Yaxin thought for a while, "Your father is such a big company. It’s for you, it’s not in shape, and your dad should be angry if he sees it.”

Xiao Shutong listened to Jiang Yaxin's insinuations, and really felt in his heart why he came here, why he hadn't grown up yet, and really wanted to leave early.

Near the lunch time, Xiao Zhenghao came down, and the guests also came, a family of three, the little boy should be about ten years old, he was quiet and sensible, after the meal, the adults sat in the living room to communicate, Jiang Yaxin winked at Xiao Wei, asking him to lead others Going to play, Xiao Wei didn't dare to go too far in front of Xiao Zhenghao, he talked kindly to please the child, the parents over there were also very happy with this move, and let the child play with his brothers.

Xiao Wei took Xiao Shutong and the little boy to the game room. Xiao Wei didn't know how to take the children to play. There were all kinds of racing cars and video games in the game room. The little boy fell in love with a large track car, so Xiao Wei took the remote control All were given to the little boy to play by himself.

Xiao Wei couldn't stay longer after staying for a while, "Hey, Xiao Shutong, look at him, play whatever you want, I'll go to my study."

Xiao Shutong knew that he was going to play computer games, and he was not qualified to stop him, so he just nodded in agreement.

After Xiao Wei left, Xiao Shutong just quietly watched the little boy amuse himself and play racing cars.

Xiao Shutong came back to his senses when he heard the notification sound of the mobile phone, took out the mobile phone in a daze, saw Ling Shuofang's message, and felt better.

"Shutong, what are you doing? I saw the message yesterday too late, so I didn't reply to you. Thank you for your blessing."

Xiao Shutong smiled, "I'm on my father's side."

Ling Shuofang replied quickly, "Have you eaten yet? Then what are you doing? Do you want to stay over there today?"

Xiao Shutong could feel Ling Shuofang's concern through his mobile phone, "I just had dinner, and I was in the game room with a kid who came to pay New Year's greetings. I won't stay today, and I will go back."

Looking at Xiao Shutong's reply, Ling Shuofang was in a happy mood, imagining Xiao Shutong's earnest typing and felt very cute, "Then when will you come back? Where is your father's house?"

"In the villa area on Changqing Road, I may go back before dinner."

Ling Shuofang was about to ask again when his brother called him, "Shutong, let's talk later, my brother called me something."

Xiao Shutong smiled when he saw the content of the reply, then put away his phone, unable to chat with Ling Shuofang, and fell into a daze again.

Before the little boy got bored playing racing, his parents came to pick him up, and they planned to go back.

Xiao Zhenghao sent the person away, turned around and began to ask questions. "Where's Xiao Wei? Are you going to play again?"

Xiao Shutong definitely couldn't complain, "He went to the study."

But Xiao Zhenghao knew his son better, "This brat, Yaxin, call him down."

Jiang Yaxin looked at Xiao Zhenghao who was about to lose his temper, "Oh, what are you shouting about for the New Year's Eve, let him play when the child rarely has a holiday, and when high school is stressful, he can't play if he wants to."

Jiang Yaxin sat down and said, "The child is still young, you know how to get angry."

Xiao Zhenghao became even more angry when he heard it, "Small! Still young! How old is Shutong, how old is he? Let's see if Shutong looks like him. He plays games every day! Can he do well in the exam?"

Jiang Yaxin also became impatient, especially every time I heard him mention Xiao Shutong to compare the two children, in fact Xiao Zhenghao didn't think Xiao Shutong was so good, it was just a comparison of habitual speaking.

"Shutong, Shutong, then you should recognize your son, don't scold my son."

Seeing that Jiang Yaxin was angry and guilty, Xiao Zhenghao realized that he was comparing Shutong, "What did I say, why did you get involved in this matter again, I just asked you to take care of the child."

Jiang Yaxin was still angry, "I'll take care of it. I'll take care of the child for you at home. The child has no part for you. You don't care. Leave everything to me. Do you know how tired I am every day?"

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay. How can I say that I'm angry again." Xiao Zhenghao began to coax Jiang Yaxin again. Jiang Yaxin looked younger when she was angry, so Xiao Zhenghao also liked Jiang Yaxin like this.

It's just that Xiao Shutong and the servant were watching the whole process, the servant stood awkwardly, and later saw that he had nothing to order, so he quietly moved to the kitchen, so as not to be embarrassed by staying here.

After the two people talked and reconciled, Xiao Shutong said, "Father, I'm going back first."

As soon as Xiao Zhenghao heard it, "I went back? You didn't listen to me asking you to stay for one night."

Jiang Yaxin also hurriedly answered, "That's right, Shutong, let's stay for one night, and it's the same when I go back tomorrow." Jiang Yaxin didn't mention that it was getting dark soon, but she just said that she would stay for one night, but she didn't think so think.

"No, let's talk about it later."

Jiang Yaxin was very upset when she heard Xiao Shutong say that. She still had a chance, but she would not let Xiao Shutong have such a chance.

While talking, Xiao Yao came back, and saw that everyone in the living room was startled when she came back, and she realized, "Dad, Mom, you are all here." She said with a flattering smile.

Xiao Zhenghao looked at his daughter, "Why did you come back now?"

"Hey, Dad, it's not dark yet." Xiao Yao's implication is that it's still early.

Jiang Yaxin began to smooth things over again, "Okay, go and wash it off, the girls run around all day."

Xiao Yao responded and ran upstairs.

Jiang Yaxin looked at Xiao Shutong, "Shutong, wait, I'll get you something."

Jiang Yaxin winked at Xiao Zhenghao, and Xiao Zhenghao followed him upstairs. "Shutong, sit down and wait."

Xiao Shutong nodded, and soon Jiang Yaxin came down, holding a red envelope in her hand, "This is the red envelope your father gave you, take it. If you have any difficulties, just ask, your father will still take care of it."

Xiao Shutong didn't want to take the money, "Auntie, no need, there is really no difficulty."

"Oh, you child, you don't even take the New Year's red envelope." Jiang Yaxin said and stuffed the red envelope.

Xiao Shutong accepted the refusal, "Then Auntie, I'm going back." Then he walked out

Jiang Yaxin followed her to the door, "Oh, I just remembered, the driver is resting today, and we have to go out tomorrow. It's rare to let him have a day off. What's the matter, I forgot to see you off."

Xiao Shutong smiled, "It's okay, Auntie, I'm leaving."

Jiang Yaxin's face was so polite, "Okay, let's go slowly." Seeing Xiao Shutong leaving the door, Jiang Yaxin put away the smirk on her face, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.He ordered the helper to deliver black tea, and went upstairs.

After leaving the door, Xiao Shutong walked on the quiet path, and walked for about ten minutes before walking out of the gate of the villa area.

This side is a bit off, and now it's the Chinese New Year, and there are no pedestrians or vehicles on the road. Xiao Shutong took a deep breath, and walked slowly along the road. The sound that can be heard next to him is probably the cold wind blowing by. sound.

But Xiao Shutong's mind was a little empty at this moment, he didn't want to think about it, and every time he calmed down, he would feel that there was a big stone in his heart.

Xiao Shutong didn't realize it until the mobile phone's WeChat sounded a reminder.

Taking out the phone and seeing Ling Shuofang's name, his nose suddenly felt sore.

"Shutong? Where are you? I haven't finished the question just now, my brother asked us to make an announcement."

"Are you home?"

"Go back before dinner as you said just now, have you arrived yet?"

"Shutong? Hello, look at me!"

Looking at the last message sent by Ling Shuofang, Xiao Shutong burst out laughing, took another deep breath, and held back the tears that had already shed a few drops.

Looking at Ling Shuofang's questioning, he obviously didn't like to cause trouble for others, so he suddenly wanted to tell Ling Shuofang the truth.

Typing with trembling fingers, "I'm preparing to go back."

The other side quickly replied, "Are you on the way?"

Xiao Shutong wiped away tears, and stopped on the side of the road, "Well, there are no cars here, I'll walk for a while to see if there are any buses or take a taxi."

As soon as it was transmitted, the WeChat phone rang, and the voice seemed loud on the extraordinarily quiet road.

Xiao Shutong was in a hurry and obviously didn't want to answer it, so he swiped his finger and touched it, "Shutong, where are you? Are you still on Changqing Road?" Ling Shuofang's anxious voice came over.

Xiao Shutong wanted to speak, but just as he uttered a syllable, he realized that he was trembling from crying, so he quickly hung up the WeChat call.

Send a message to the other side, "I'm almost there, let's not talk about it."

Ling Shuofang had already heard a voice over there, and his heart throbbed. He was very anxious when Xiao Shutong hung up the phone. He was about to continue calling and saw Xiao Shutong's message, so he hurriedly sent it.

"Shutong, wait for me there, I'll pick you up."

After typing the message, they ran out of the room. The whole family was in the living room. They would spend the Chinese New Year together. Ling Shuofang's grandfather Ling Rujin, grandma Zheng Siyu, grandfather Wen Guofeng, grandmother Zeng Yunxia, ​​parents, brother, and his brother Bring back the sister-in-law who just confirmed the marriage news.

Wen Wanshan looked at her younger son, "What are you doing running so fast?"

Ling Shuofang didn't even have time to talk to his mother, and said directly to his brother, "Brother, take me out for a while."

Before Ling Shuoting could speak, his father started to get angry, "What are you doing in such a hurry? Your mother is asking you something."

"Oh, Dad, I'm really in a hurry, can I come back and explain." Turning to his brother again, he stretched out his hand and pulled him up, "Hurry up, brother."

Ling Shuofang hated himself for not being of legal age to get a driver's license.

Seeing Ling Shuoting's family being dragged away by Ling Shuofang, Ling Xueping was stunned, but Ling Xueping said, "This brat, he has been honest for a while, and then started again. Look at him."

Wen Wanshan slapped Ling Xueping's arm, then turned her head and smiled at Su Zhiqing, "Zhiqing, please be considerate of Shuofang, he must be in a hurry to do this, usually this child is very stable."

Su Zhiqing has been dating Ling Shuoting for so many years, and she still knows about his younger brother, "Auntie, I know, Shuoting often mentions Shuofang to me, he is still young, you can see that he is in such a hurry, there must be something wrong. "Su Zhiqing turned to Ling Xueping again, "Uncle, don't blame him, there must be a reason for Shuofang's haste."

"That's right, our Fang'er is always sensible." This sentence was Ling Shuofang's grandmother Zheng Siyu.

"Wait for him to come back and ask what happened, and if he can solve it." Ling Rujin also loved his grandson when he was older. In fact, when he was young, he had the same temper as Ling Xueping, and he was very strict with his son.

"Zhiqing, it's fortunate that you are considerate." Zeng Yunxia said this, and Zheng Siyu agreed.

Wen Guofeng happily watched the fun from the sidelines.

It's quiet here, and he talked about Ling Shuofang who took his brother out. He wished that his brother drove a rocket and could fly to Xiao Shutong's side. Ling Shuofang knew that Xiao Shutong was unwilling to answer the call, so he had to continue sending. Xiao Shutong asked Xiao Shutong to wait for him to pick up a lot of information, but Xiao Shutong could only agree after pushing for a long time.
