The man with glasses looked at Yuan Ning.

On the way he and Jia Zheng passed by just now, he happened to hear Yuan Ning rebutting the words of the vendor.Looking at the obedient and timid Yuan Ning in front of him, the man with glasses was a little wary.

The only one who can let him go there in person is naturally the one above him.

That one has two sons, one daughter, and an adopted son. Naturally, there is no shortage of children. It's just that the youngest son of the previous year was lost, and that wife has been very sad.Not long ago, someone accidentally got a photo, saw the cute Yuxue Yuan Ning, and found that he was somewhat similar to the lost young son, so he sent the photo over eagerly.

As soon as the lady saw it, she thought it was her child, but after some people checked it, she found out that it was not.Knowing the child's life experience, the wife felt sorry for the child's life and wanted to adopt the child.So he made a trip in person to ask someone to persuade Yuan's family.

Yuan Ning's calm counterattack just now made the man with glasses feel that this child is not simple.

The most indispensable thing in such a family is this kind of "not simple" child.

You can't just take the child back like this, otherwise the family will be in trouble in the future, and you will have to blame him for it.

The man with glasses said, "Sit down."

The man with glasses had a very calm tone, but Yuan Ning was inexplicably uncomfortable.

This person doesn't like him.

Yuan Ning sat next to Yuan's second aunt, bowed her head and said nothing.He looked at his round fingers, and only hated that he was too young to support himself, had to spend other people's money, and had to rely on others to take care of him.If he was older, he would be able to work as a helper in the town without having to be raised by his second aunt, let alone being someone else's son.

The man with the glasses said, "According to the agreement, we will give you 2 yuan." He pushed his glasses, "Give me an account number, and I will transfer the money directly to the account. Any questions?"

This year, 2 yuan is a lot of money, and you can buy a small house in the town.

The money was negotiated two days ago.The second aunt of the Yuan family glanced at Yuan Ning, who was bowing her head, before saying, "No problem."

Yuan Ning still only gave hair to the man with glasses.He reached into his pocket.People in the village generally don't know how to get a bank card. Two days ago, my second aunt secretly slipped him a card, and said that the password was his birthday, and asked him to keep it safe and not tell anyone.

He thought that the second aunt wanted to save some private money, so he kept it carefully, hiding it in his pocket every day for fear of being discovered.Hearing the conversation between the man with glasses and his second aunt, he already understood what the card in his pocket was, and he also understood that the man with glasses deliberately talked about the "price" in front of him, making him feel that his second aunt was selling him.

Yuan Ning clenched his fists, and his small shoulders trembled slightly.

unacceptable.

The second aunt was already very sad.

Yuan Ning grabbed the hand of the second aunt of the Yuan family.

He decided he didn't like the man either.

The second aunt of the Yuan family forced herself to speak: "Are you leaving today? I haven't cleaned up for Ningning yet..."

The man with glasses said, "You don't need to clean it up." He knocked on the edge of the table, "Everything will be prepared for him when he goes there. After you collect the money, he will have nothing to do with you from now on."

Seeing that the man with glasses wanted to take Yuan Ning away immediately, the second aunt of the Yuan family became anxious: "It was agreed earlier, at least in the first two years, you will send us his photo to let me know that he is doing well—"

The man with glasses sneered inwardly.You have already collected the money, so what are you pretending to be like?But this was agreed in advance, and he would naturally not go back on his word: "Of course, we will definitely do what we agreed to do."

The second aunt of the Yuan family was in a daze: "Okay."

The man with glasses went out and made a phone call. When he came back, he said to Aunt Yuan's family, "The money has already been credited into the account. You can check it. If there is no problem, I will take him away." Seriously, 500 yuan will be used as an "intermediary fee".

Jia Zhengjing's eyes brightened.

The second aunt of the Yuan family said hesitantly, "Are you going to the city to take the train?"

The man with glasses nodded.

One south and one north, it is inconvenient to drive, and the procedures for flying are even more troublesome, so you can only choose the train.

The second aunt of Yuan's family said: "Then I'll go too, I'll go to the city to check." The town is small, and everything can be spread, if she leads Yuan Ning to check the money in the card, it won't take long for the whole town Everyone will know—the second uncle Yuan Ning and the uncle will definitely ask her for money.

The man with glasses pushed his glasses again.He also knows the truth of not revealing money, but he has some insight.It seems that this child is like his aunt.The man with glasses said, "Let's go together."

Second Aunt Yuan's family heaved a sigh of relief.

Jia Zhengjing doesn't have to worry, the most important thing for him to do this business is to be strict about his mouth, who to send to, and how much he charges, Jia Zhengjing will never disclose.After all, he still has to continue to eat this meal. If he reveals it to others, no one will look for him in the future.

After receiving the money, Jia Zhengjing stopped following them.The second aunt of the Yuan family followed to the urban area, and took Yuan Ning to check the balance at the bank where the card was issued.The man in glasses only thought that she wanted to "pay with one hand and deliver with the other", and didn't follow her in. He waited outside and waited for them to come out.

Hearing that the bank teller said that there were [-] yuan in the card, the second aunt of the Yuan family felt a pain in her heart, knowing that this "deal" was considered complete.

Seeing that the man with glasses didn't look over, the second aunt of Yuan's family pulled Yuan Ning aside, knelt down and told Yuan Ning, "Keep the card away, and don't let others know. Auntie knows that you are the smartest, and you never spend money indiscriminately." Money, in the future if——if anything happens, you can use it for emergency.”

Yuan Ning listened to the Yuan family's second aunt's persuasive instructions, and squeezed the bank card that Yuan's second aunt stuffed back into her pocket.

His mind was in a mess, and he wanted to leave the card to his second aunt, but he knew that his second aunt would never use the money in it, so he didn't know what to do for a while.

He was only six after all.

Yuan Ning finally put away the card silently.

He followed Yuan's second aunt out of the bank.

The man with glasses was a little impatient, seeing Yuan Ning coming out, he said with a bit of sarcasm, "Finished the investigation?"

The second aunt of the Yuan family nodded.She took Yuan Ning's hand, put the small palm into the glasses man's hand, and signaled Yuan Ning to take the initiative.

She could see that Yuan Ning had resistance to the man with glasses.People are often so contradictory. She had already prepared for the worst and asked Yuan Ning to keep the money for backup, but she also hoped that Yuan Ning could be accepted by the new family.

Yuan Ning obediently grabbed the glasses man's hand.

Yuan Ning's palm was wet, making the man with glasses frown.He was tired of seeing Yuan's second aunt's "pretentiousness", so he didn't shake Yuan Ning's hand: "Then let's go to the train station."

The second aunt of the Yuan family didn't speak.She stood where she was, with her eyes glued to Yuan Ning.

Yuan Ning followed behind the man with glasses, turning his head every step of the way.When he found that the eyes of the second aunt of the Yuan family were getting redder, Yuan Ning lowered his head and looked at the ground, and stopped turning his head to make her sad.He didn't look up at the road until he turned a corner after following the man with glasses.

The man with glasses let go of his hand and said, "Follow me."

Yuan Ning nodded obediently.

The man with glasses hailed a taxi and told the driver to go to the train station.

As soon as he arrived at the place, Yuan Ning was stunned.

The train station is really big and there are people everywhere.

The outside world is so big, he will never find his way back after this trip.

This is the first time Yuan Ning understands the meaning of the word "little".

At this moment, he is like an inconspicuous sand. He has no idea where he will go or what he can do. He can only be swept up by the waves and blown by the wind, wandering in this vast and lonely world at a loss. .

Yuan Ning raised his head and carefully identified this strange train station.He is not yet literate, so he can only remember the appearance of those words repeatedly.After he finished memorizing carefully, he realized that he was several steps behind.

Yuan Ning trotted to catch up, and reached out to firmly grasp the corner of the man with glasses.

Looking at his crumpled coat, the man in glasses frowned, but Yuan Ning still let Yuan Ning hold on to his clothes.

He didn't want to hold Yuan Ning's sweaty hand again.

The man with glasses bought a ticket and took Yuan Ning into the car.He bought a sleeper berth, all lower berths, with two beds facing each other.It takes more than 20 hours to go back by train from here, and other people got on the train with big bags and small bags. They were relaxed and didn't bring anything.

As soon as the train left, the man with glasses bought some fruit and milk for Yuan Ning, picked up the newspaper and read it himself, as if he didn't hear the word "thank you" whispered by Yuan Ning.

Yuan Ning saw that the man with glasses didn't want to pay attention to him at all, so he sat on the bed obediently, quietly watching the constantly receding scenery outside the window.He had never been on a train, and he looked out without blinking, at the village, at the fields, at the cattle and sheep, and never touched the food given by the man with glasses.

At noon, the man in glasses ordered two lunches and glanced at Yuan Ning: "Eat."

Yuan Ning said "oh", sat down at the table and opened the plastic lunch box.Naturally, the dishes on the train were not that good, but the ones bought by the man with glasses were the most expensive ones, and there were more meat dishes in them than usual.Yuan Ning is not picky about food. He eats all the green peppers, onions, and vegetables that he doesn't like first, and then uses meat to deliver meals, so that the box lunch is clean.He didn't eat slowly, but he was very gentle, and didn't drop half of the food on the table or on his body.

The man with glasses couldn't get used to this food at first, so he didn't want to eat it after taking a few mouthfuls.As a result, when he looked up, he saw that Yuan Ning had finished eating, and was looking at him with disapproval. He didn't speak, but his eyes clearly said "wasting food should not be".Looking at Yuan Ning's clean lunch box again, he suddenly felt that his behavior like this was really intolerable.

The man with glasses picked up his chopsticks again and ate up the rest of the meal. The cleanliness of the lunch box was as clean as Yuan Ning's.There is no way, he has a little obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he feels very uncomfortable when he sees that he is not as clean as Yuan Ning.

The man with glasses looked at Yuan Ning again, and found that Yuan Ning was staring out of the window again.Yuan Ning is indeed cute, with white and tender skin, smooth and full forehead, a straight nose, pink lips, and long eyelashes, like two small brushes, covering her black eyes.

The man with glasses was observing Yuan Ning carefully, but Yuan Ning noticed his gaze and turned his head back.Glancing at the clean plastic lunch box in front of him, Yuan Ning's eyes suddenly brightened, as if to say "you can teach a child".

Glasses man: "..."

Damn it, why can he understand the meaning of this brat? !
