Yuan Ning returned to the capital after the turmoil ended.The new school year was about to start, so he went back to take care of the dormitory and Zhang Xiuyan's side, and took the mountain goods to Yuan Bo's house.No matter how many people he met in the capital, the ones he was closest to were Yuan Bo's family.Yuan Bo is back and is planning to take the college entrance examination again this year. The school has already started ahead of schedule. When he returns home, he will study hard.

In Yuan Ning's heart, Yuan Bo has always been a reliable elder brother. When he suddenly saw Yuan Bo studying his homework with a bitter face, he felt a little novel, and always took the opportunity to give Yuan Bo fruit and tea to walk around in front of Yuan Bo twice. Don't think of yourself as an outsider.

Yuan Bo stared at Yuan Ning for a long time, and could only put down his book to talk with Yuan Ning, and asked Yuan Ning what he did during the summer vacation with a sullen face.Knowing that Yuan Ning was running errands for the Calligraphy Association and the Ceramics Association, Yuan Bo warned: "Others ask you to do things to train you. Don't be afraid of hard work. Work hard and don't let people down."

Yuan Ning agreed with a smile, and then asked how the financing of Yuan Bo's family hotel was going.Yuan Bo has benefited a lot from the exchange and study in the past year. He knows that Yuan Ning has a flexible mind, so he took out the accumulated materials for Yuan Ning to read, and asked Yuan Ning to give some reference opinions by the way.

When it came to business, Wu Yinghao and Yuan Bo's mother also came together, and they worked out the general framework together.

Before I knew it, it was meal time, and my younger brother Yuan Guang came back with a football in his arms.Yuan Guang was very happy after seeing Yuan Ning, and he pulled Yuan Ning and Yuan Ning to talk about how he kicked the football team of his rival head to the ground today.

Yuan Bo patted the dancing Yuan Guang: "It's time to eat, go wash your hands quickly, look at you rolling in the mud all morning, you smell of sweat all over your body!"

Yuan Guang held his head aggrievedly, and said, "You just can't see me getting close to Brother Ning."

Yuan Bo kicked his ass: "Your skin is itchy!" He turned to look happily at Yuan Ning, who was arguing with him and Yuan Guang.

Yuan Ning said: "It's good to be lively." Because of the lack of time, Yuan Ning has never participated in team sports that require tacit understanding, such as football and basketball. Seeing Yuan Guang having such a good time is also happy for Yuan Guang .

Yuan Bo reached out and rubbed Yuan Ning's hair: "You are not a few years older than him."

Yuan Ning said with a sullen smile, "You're not a few months older than me."

The two looked at each other, both showing comfortable smiles.Even if he didn't suffer too much, seeing a family fall apart with his own eyes had a great impact on him and Yuan Bo. Yuan Guang was young at the time, and his life got better and better later on, so he was naturally different from them.In any case, they are great now, and there is no need to dwell too much on the past.

After Yuan Ning and Yuan Bo's family had dinner, Yuan Guang took Yuan Ning to the club owned by Wu Yinghao to watch the live football match.Yuan Ning thought that Lin Dashi and the others were there, and waved goodbye to Yuan Bo, who had to study hard, with a smile, and went to the club with Yuan Guang.

This year's Football Sub-League has already kicked off, and Huaguo is facing the danger of being eliminated. This afternoon is the decisive battle!

The coach announced that there would be no training in the afternoon. Everyone gathered in the movie room to watch the game. There was a bit of racing on the road. After Yuan Ning arrived there, the game was about to start.

Most of the club is male, only a small group of female players, they don't like to squeeze together with the sweaty male players, they went to another smaller viewing room, so Lin Dashi's side is all male.In the summer, the players are less particular. Some of them lift up their jerseys, and some are shirtless. There are dozens of beers on the table and peanuts and other snacks on the table. It looks like they are eating and drinking. Look at the posture of the ball.

Yuan Ning looked white and clean, and he didn't get along with the others in the room, but Lin Dashi had become the core of the club. Seeing Lin Dashi directly pulling Yuan Ning to sit beside him, the boss's son followed Yuan Ning like a little tail. It was accepted by others in a short while.

The game has just started, and they still have time to gossip.Someone cracked open a bottle of cold beer, and handed the steaming low-alcohol wine to Yuan Ning: "Little friend, do you want to drink?"

Before Yuan Ning replied, Yuan Guang was eager to try: "I drink, I drink!"

Yuan Ning grabbed Yuan Guang's hand, and said in a tone of patriarchal disapproval: "You are not allowed to drink if you are not of age."

Yuan Guang was drooping.

The person who opened the wine deliberately put the wine to his mouth and took two sips, teasing Yuan Guang and Yuan Ning: "What's the point of not drinking some cold beer on a hot day?"

Yuan Ning smiled calmly: "My family doesn't allow me to drink."

The others yelled at Lin Dashi: "Look at his flaunting vigor, Dashi! He is so good-looking? He is a high-achieving student? He fell in love when he was underage. Be careful, I will report you to the boss!"

Yuan Guang also stared round.

Yuan Ning rubbed Yuan Guang's head, and rubbed back Yuan Guang's curious eyes.He and Mr. Han have an agreement to disclose their blood relationship when they reach adulthood. Before that, he must confess to Mr. Han.On Yuan Bo's side, he didn't intend to hide the truth. After the tough battle with Mr. Han, he would explain it clearly to Yuan Bo and the others.

Let them know now.

Yuan Ning narrowed his eyes with a smile: "Are you envious or jealous?"

Yuan Ningming's swaying smile was too dazzling, and the others could only cast unanimous contempt on him.

In the 10-minute game, more than half of the first half was deadlocked.The Huaguo team cooperated well, but their fatigue gradually showed. They conceded three goals in a row and withdrew with a tragic score of 0:3 in the final match of the Asian League.Yuan Ning felt that the atmosphere in the club fell into an unspeakable depression. Every time it seemed so close to victory, every time he worked so hard, he still couldn't make it up.

Yuan Ning said goodbye to Lin Dashi and sent Yuan Guang, who was in a bad mood, home.When it was time to part, Yuan Ning swept Yuan Guang's head and said, "It will be up to you later."

Yuan Guang paused his gaze, and said firmly, "Yes, it will be up to us in the future!" Yuan Guang regained his usual vitality, and looked at Yuan Ning and secretly laughed, "Brother Ning, if I go in and tell Brother that you are talking about If you are in love, will he come out immediately and catch you and teach you a lesson?"

Yuan Ning: "..."

Yuan Ning cursed twice with a smile, and sent Yuan Guang back quickly.Yuan Guang laughed and said, "Brother Ning, don't worry, I will keep the secret for you! I also have a girl I like!" After he finished speaking, he let go of his feet and ran in without telling Yuan Ning not to Chances of puppy love.

Yuan Ning shook his head.Today's children are really little ghosts!

Yuan Ning decided to report Yuan Guang on the next phone call with Yuan Bo.After all, what Yuan Guang likes is girls, if the little boy is too impulsive, "human life" will be caused!

It was not too late, Yuan Ning went home to get the materials, went to Li Yunjing and Professor Gan respectively, and handed over the materials collected during the Huaiqing trip to them.I don't know if it was an illusion, but Yuan Ning felt that Li Yunjing and Professor Gan looked at him so alike, they looked the same!

The bright eyes probably expressed "this kid is really a good labor force".

Yuan Ning put oil on the soles of his feet and slipped away.It was late in the evening when Yuan Ning went to the Han family to visit the second elder of the Han family. He also brought a lot of mountain goods, which were still very fresh.Mr. Han was also at home, and was talking with Ms. Li under the grape arbor. When Aunt Su said that Yuan Ning was here, he snorted and asked someone to bring Yuan Ning over.

Ms. Li took Mr. Han's hand and told Mr. Han not to curse when they met.Mr. Han can be cruel to everyone in his life, but he can't be against Ms. Li. Seeing that he has already protected Yuan Ning before scolding Ms. Li, Mr. Han's heart is even more sour.When Yuan Ning came over, his tone was still not very good: "You still know to come? Your grandma has been looking forward to your coming since you were on vacation, but you only called and said that you went to Huaiqing. I heard yesterday that You want to come back today, your grandma was waiting early in the morning, and only now is waiting for you!"

Mr. Han's tone was aggressive, but what he said made Yuan Ning feel a little guilty.If Mr. Han scolded him for disobeying the arrangement and going to Huaiqing, he might argue with Mr. Han, after all, he didn't want to get too involved with the Han family.Although the relationship between him and the second elder of the Han family is not as rigid as the relationship between Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhang, he also hopes to make it clear: he recognizes the second elder, not the Han family.

It's just that Mr. Han's every sentence is about Ms. Li, and Yuan Ning feels guilty.He pulled a chair and sat next to Ms. Li, held Ms. Li's hand and talked to Ms. Li.With Yuan Ning, Ms. Li would not care about Mr. Han, and immediately asked Yuan Ning how he was doing in Huaiqing with concern, and whether he was hungry and sunburned.

Mr. Han said: "It's not a barren mountain over there. He's going to the urban area. There will be no problems with basic necessities of life." As he said this, Mr. Han's eyes still scanned Yuan Ning up and down. , observing every change in Yuan Ning's body.

Compared with last year, Yuan Ning has grown a little taller, and he will definitely not look short among his peers.But after going out and running for the whole summer vacation, his skin is still not much tanned, and Mr. Han doesn't know whether to like his rosy face or throw him to a special training camp for training.If he didn't know that Yuan Ning is not a person who doesn't know the limbs and the grain, Mr. Han really doesn't like Yuan Ning's soft and gentle appearance.

Mr. Han said: "I don't think he's skinny at all, and he's not tanned. He's more energetic than before. Don't worry about him. With his personality, it won't be his turn to suffer." See Yuan Ning's defense!Others are trying to find ways to get close to the Han family, but Yuan Ning is lucky. If you give him something to do, he will put oil on the soles of his feet and slip away faster than anyone else!This slippery guy, who can handle him?

Ms. Li said softly, "Don't you have business to attend to?"

Mr. Han stared at Yuan Ning.

Yuan Ning smirked.

Ms. Li opened her mouth to drive people away, so Mr. Han could only go upstairs to "work".

Yuan Ning chatted with Ms. Li for a long time, and then had dinner together.It wasn't until Ms. Li felt sleepy and returned to the room that Mr. Han had the opportunity to call Yuan Ning to the study.

Yuan Ning wiped honey on his mouth, and called out sweetly: "Grandpa, do you have something to do with me?"

"Of course there is something to do, there are many things to do!" Mr. Han gave Yuan Ning an angry look, and asked Yuan Ning to sit down at the desk.He asked about Yuan Ning Huaiqing's affairs.After learning about Zhang Xiu's clean-up work that combines strictness, toughness and softness, Mr. Han said with emotion, "You are the most courageous brother in your two generations." A young man who has just barely two years old can get things done In this way, it is really remarkable.

When mentioning Zhang Xiuyan, Yuan Ning naturally looked proud.He picked out some of Zhang Xiuyan's plans.

Mr. Han said: "If I were your grandfather, I would never push you out like that." Everyone knows the virtues of Uncle Zhang's family, and only Mr. Zhang is still immersed in the arrogance of the elders. No matter what you do, your son is your own son, as long as you give him some sweetness, your son will come back obediently.

But when Mr. Zhang is full of wings and no longer needs that bit of "sweetness", what can Mr. Zhang do to save his son?For the sake of an idiot, an incompetent and vicious "eldest son", it is simply too stupid to push out the second son who is all excellent in the whole family, and the youngest son also leaves home to do research and never comes back all year round.

Thinking of Mr. Zhang's lesson from the past, Mr. Han's tone softened: "I know you don't want to get too involved with the Han family. But as your grandfather, it shouldn't be too much to hear about your future plans, right?"

Yuan Ning fell silent.People like Mr. Han are so smart, you can tell what you think with just a glance, not to mention that Mr. Han just said that he would arrange something for him during the summer vacation, and then he went straight to Huaiqing.Yuan Ning paused, and said frankly: "My plan is that I will go wherever my elder brother goes in the future. I will accompany him to do whatever my elder brother wants to do."

These words made Mr. Han frown.He knew that compared to the Zhang family who raised Yuan Ning, he and Ms. Li couldn't win by just playing the emotional card.After recognizing Yuan Ning's grandson for so long, he has somewhat figured out Yuan Ning's temper.This kid looks soft, but in fact he is very stubborn, with the same temper as him.This child is affectionate, but he also has his own ideas, and will never blindly follow anyone's opinions.

Mr. Han said: "You are you, and your elder brother says your elder brother. Even if you and your elder brother have a good relationship now, there may be differences in the future. How can you unilaterally tie the future to your elder brother?"

It's not one-sided!Yuan Ning retorted in his heart, but didn't say it out of his mouth, but said firmly: "Brother and I will not change."

Yuan Ning's tone was so determined that Mr. Han's heart skipped a beat twice as he secretly observed Yuan Ning's expression.Mr. Han said sullenly: "You are still young, that's why you have such an idea. Nothing in this world will never change, even a father and son, or brothers may have rifts - like your father and your grandfather They are the same, not to mention that you and your elder brother are not blood brothers. Even if you can guarantee that you will remain the same, can you still guarantee that your elder brother will remain the same?"

Yuan Ning was still young after all, so he said without thinking, "Of course the eldest brother will not change." Their lives have long been intertwined, tightly entwined with each other, like two vines entwined with each other, and the vines have long been intertwined. Caught in each other's flesh and blood, it would be futile for anyone to separate them, they would just tear them apart.Mentioning Zhang Xiuyan, Yuan Ning unconsciously felt a little softer on his face.

Mr. Han didn't stay on this topic for too long, and asked about some details of Yuan Ning's stay in Huaiqing.Except for the busyness at the beginning, Yuan Ning basically stayed with Zhang Xiuyan, so he naturally kept the same sentence in his answers.

It was not until the rest time was approaching that Mr. Han sent Yuan Ning away.He walked to the balcony of the study and looked at the dark blue night sky with his hands behind his back.He remembered that Zhang Xiuyan was very jealous of him, but he still came to deal with Han Sheng's family because of Yuan Ning's matter; he remembered that when Yuan Ning came to the door, he would inevitably call Zhang Xiuyan, the two brothers seemed tacitly close.

He remembered that the junior he was optimistic about stood with his eldest son, saying that the relationship between them was not just the friendship between Zepao, they wanted to stay together for a lifetime.

all my life?Easier said than done!

He thought about separating them temporarily, letting them calm down.As a result, such a point has become a permanent separation between heaven and man, and there is a wall between father and son that can never be pushed away.

Mr. Han stood for a while with his hands behind his back, feeling that the summer night was a bit chilly.

At this age, Mr. Han has figured out many things.None of them are good, except for Han Chuang, who is not particularly outstanding, but Han Chuang is born to love freedom, so he is destined not to be restrained in order to support the Han family.In the past two years, he has paid attention to the people in the side branch, and quietly left some positions and opportunities to them. They are all from the old Han family, and it is already this era. Let them go if they can.

The movement on the Han family's side was not as loud as that on the Zhang's side. In the past two years, they have changed silently and quietly, not attracting many people's attention.

Mr. Han sighed.If he still doesn't understand why Yuan Ning said that he had to be an adult before formally recognizing him as a member of the Han family, then his life has been wasted—that child has already been prepared to be "severed" by him at any time.Mr. Han returned to the desk and sat for a while, then picked up the phone and dialed a number.

After hearing "Hello" from over there, Mr. Han said, "It's me."

On the other side of the phone is Zhang Xiuyan who is far away in Huaiqing.He paused after hearing Mr. Han's voice, and said, "Mr. Han, do you have anything to do with me?"

Mr. Han said, "How long are you going to keep it from me?" His grandson is protected by Ms. Li, so he can't scold him too fiercely. This guy who kidnapped his grandson is different.

Zhang Xiuyan frowned.In an instant, he understood what old man Han was referring to from the angry tone of old man Han.

Zhang Xiuyan said: "Ningning and I are just thinking about how to better get you to accept our affairs."

Hearing Zhang Xiuyan's straightforward words, Mr. Han was immediately annoyed: "What if I don't accept it no matter what?"

Zhang Xiuyan said: "Then Ningning and I will try our best not to appear in front of your eyes."

Mr. Han blew his beard and stared: "Are you still threatening me?" He snorted coldly, "Have you ever thought about how difficult this road is? Would your father agree to your nonsense? If the child suffers because of this Wronged--"

"No, please rest assured." Zhang Xiuyan said, "Father and the others have already agreed."
