Yuan Ning lowered his eyelashes, and could only see Zhang Xiuyan's long legs.He could feel that Ms. Xue liked him, and Zhang Xiuling liked him too.But the man with glasses was sent by Mr. Zhang, and the person who picked him up at the train station was Zhang Xiuyan. Whether he can stay here should be decided by these two people.

Yuan Ning quietly raised his head, looked at Zhang Xiuyan's straight back, unconsciously straightened his small waist, and followed Zhang Xiuyan closely with his short legs.

Walking to the study, Zhang Xiuyan stopped and knocked on the door, and a solemn male voice came from inside: "Come in."

Yuan Ning walked beside Zhang Xiuyan, and quietly raised his head to look at the desk.The desk is full of documents, but they are piled up neatly and look very neat.The man with spectacles sat on one side in a precarious manner, closed the document in his hand, and looked up at them.Obviously, the topic in the study didn't stay on him for too long, and he had already talked about other serious matters.

The only child in the family who is not afraid of Mr. Zhang is Zhang Xiuyan.Zhang Xiuyan glanced at Yuan Ning, and said to Mr. Zhang, "Father, this is Yuan Ning. He just arrived today."

Mr. Zhang nodded: "Assistant Han said just now." He looked at the timid Yuan Ning, "I will listen to your elder brother from now on."

Yuan Ning whispered, "Okay."

Mr. Zhang frowned.He doesn't like children who are too weak, especially boys.He said indifferently: "As for the name, you choose it yourself. First, it is still called Yuan Ning, so there is no need to change it; second, it is changed to Zhang Xiuning, and the character generation is the same as Xiu Yan and Xiu Wen."

If someone made a point next to him, he would definitely let Yuan Ning choose the second one, so that he could be accepted by others more quickly, and he could officially become Zhang's family member.

But no one mentioned Yuan Ning.

The man with glasses opened his mouth, but he still didn't speak in the end.He has already been a villain all the way, so why come to pretend to be a good person at this time?

Yuan Ning's heart pounded when he heard Mr. Zhang's words.His surname was left to him by his father, and his first name was given by his mother. Although there is only a simple word "Ning", it is full of mother's expectations for him.If he could keep using this name, he would naturally not want to change it.

Yuan Ning's eyes lit up slightly: "Is it really possible not to change it?"

Mr. Zhang said: "Yes."

Yuan Ning said, "Then, then I won't change it."

Mr. Zhang nodded.He told the man with glasses: "Go back and go through the adoption procedures."

Zhang Xiuyan frowned, and his scrutinizing eyes fell on Yuan Ning. The face similar to Mr. Zhang had the words "dissatisfied" clearly written on it.

He had a premonition that this brat would definitely cause trouble for him often.

This kid is so stupid.

When Zhang Xiuwen came, Mr. Zhang also asked the same question. Zhang Xiuwen was so smart that he agreed to follow the repairing generation.This kid is unwilling to change. When he says "this is my younger brother" to others in the future, he will inevitably have to explain it to others.Thinking of how much time would be wasted, Zhang Xiuyan looked at Yuan Ning even more dissatisfied.

Yuan Ning had been paying attention to Zhang Xiuyan all the time, and when he found that Zhang Xiuyan was looking at him coldly, his heart was pounding.He wanted to open his mouth to ask himself if he made the wrong choice, but he was nervous and unable to speak, he could only look at Zhang Xiuyan cautiously, his eyes filled with fear and doubt.

Zhang Xiuyan said, "Call me father."

Father?Yuan Ning thought this title was weird.Do you want to be so formal at home?But he didn't need to call Mr. Zhang's father right away, instead he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and obediently called out: "Father."

Mr. Zhang nodded and turned to Zhang Xiuyan: "Xiu Yan, take your fifth younger brother to see the house." The Zhang family ranks regardless of gender, Zhang Xiuyan is the first, Zhang Xiuling is the second, and Zhang Xiuwen is the third. Zhang Xiuming, who had lost track of him since then, was fourth, and it was Yuan Ning's turn to be fifth.

Is this a pass?

Yuan Ning stood still.

Seeing that Yuan Ning couldn't react, Zhang Xiuyan reached out and grabbed Yuan Ning's hand, and directly pulled Yuan Ning out.

Soft, sweaty, and so tiny.

Zhang Xiuyan pinched the little palm he was holding, and frowned even tighter.

Stupid and skinny.

Slow to respond and timid.

I got nervous and stuttered.

——This brat is really a little trouble.

Zhang Xiuyan led Yuan Ning around half a circle on the second floor and came to his room.Of course, this was not the room Ms. Xue prepared for Yuan Ning. After judging Yuan Ning as a "little trouble", Zhang Xiuyan decided to keep Yuan Ning under his nose.

Zhang Xiuyan opened the door of the room, led Yuan Ning in, and said, "From now on, if you live here, if you don't like what's inside, ask Auntie to come in and take it away and replace it with a new one." He stood by the table, raised his hand and knocked on the edge of the table, "My room is next to me. If you have anything you don't understand, you can come to me and don't make up your own mind. Do you understand?"

Yuan Ning said obediently, "Understood."

Only then was Zhang Xiuyan satisfied.He called Aunt Shen, the helper at home: "This is Aunt Shen, if you need anything, you can find her." After speaking, he turned to Aunt Shen, "Aunt Shen, please bring the things Mom prepared to this room."

Aunt Shen knew that Zhang Xiuyan had always been in charge of family affairs, so she immediately turned around to fetch things.

Soon, Yuan Ning's room was filled with all kinds of clothes and toys. Aunt Shen hung the clothes in the closet one by one, and put the toys on the table and in the toy bar.

The toys look brand new, including car models, airplane models, ship models, building blocks, chess and cards, Transformers, etc., which are more abundant than any stall in the town.The wardrobe is full of seasonal clothes, but the styles are different. There are sportswear and casual wear. Even pajamas occupy a closet.

Yuan Ning also bought new clothes for the New Year, but Yuan Bo said that he didn't want to buy them specially for him. Because of this, the second uncle closed the door and argued with the second aunt for two days.

Yuan Ning reached into his pocket and touched the bank card given to him by his second aunt.

The second aunt must know the situation here, but she still left the card to him.

The people in the Zhang family are also very nice.

He must be obedient and grow up quickly.Only when I grow up can I repay my second aunt and my new family.

And help the fish.

Yuan Ning went through the things that should be remembered in his mind, and seeing that Aunt Shen had packed up, she whispered, "Thank you, Aunt Shen."

Aunt Shen glanced at Yuan Ning, smiled and said, "You're so cute." She asked kindly, "Can I call you Ning Ning?"

Yuan Ning nodded.

Aunt Shen said with concern in her eyes, "I'm sleeping in the corner room, you can find me there if you need anything."

Yuan Ning thanked again.

Zhang Xiuyan left early, and as soon as Aunt Shen left, Yuan Ning was the only one left in the room.Yuan Ning stood there looking at the pile of toys on the table without moving, his eyes fell on the fairy tale books on the desk.The reason why Second Aunt was persuaded was because he and Yuan Bo were going to study.Studying must be expensive, right?Mr. Zhang, will they let him go to school?

Yuan Ning went to the table and opened a book of fairy tales, carefully identifying the words and pinyin in it, but found that he didn't know any of them.

Yuan Ning was very frustrated.He glanced at the pile of toys, worked up the courage to walk out of the room, and knocked on the door of the next room.

Zhang Xiuyan opened the door, his expression was as stern as usual, and he never forgot to maintain his elder brother's majesty.

Yuan Ning staggered and shouted: "Big brother."

Zhang Xiuyan frowned.

Yuan Ning said, "I don't want toys."

This brat is actually not satisfied with all the toys that Ms. Xue picked?Zhang Xiuyan's tone was not kind: "If you don't want it, ask Aunt Shen to take it away."

Yuan Ning was taken aback, seeing that Zhang Xiuyan was about to close the door and ignore him, he quickly grabbed Zhang Xiuyan's sleeve.

Zhang Xiuyan looked at him.

Yuan Ning was scared to tears by his eyes, but he still said the words in full: "I don't want toys, can I go to school in exchange for tuition fees?" After speaking, he exhausted his courage and looked at Zhang Xiuyan. , eyes filled with apprehension and hope.He can't let his second aunt down, he must fight hard for the opportunity to study.

Zhang Xiuyan was stunned for a rare moment.

Could it be that in this little guy's heart, the Zhang family can't afford him to go to school?Looking at the little boy in front of him who was only a little taller than his waist, Zhang Xiuyan had an inexplicable urge to hug him.

Zhang Xiuyan has always disliked being close to others, so naturally he would not take action.He asked, "Have you been to kindergarten?"

Yuan Ning shook his head.

Zhang Xiuyan asked, "Are you literate?"

Yuan Ning shook his head.Although both parents had gone to college, they seldom had time to spend with him, let alone teach him to read and write.At that time, he was still young, and his parents felt that there was no need to worry. No one thought that he would not have the opportunity to teach later.

Zhang Xiuyan said, "What about the number?"

Yuan Ning said, "Second Aunt taught me."

The second aunt kept accounts every day, and occasionally taught him to recognize them.The other second aunts dare not teach, fearing that it will be difficult to correct mistakes in school.

The second aunt was going to grit her teeth and let him go to school with Yuan Bo.Originally, he and Yuan Bo's tuition fees would be covered by selling the pigs raised at home. Unexpectedly, there was swine fever, and all three pigs died, so they lost everything.The second aunt went back to borrow money from grandma to buy piglets, but she didn't borrow money.Later, the second aunt went back to her mother's house to borrow it with a shy face, but the second uncle took half of it to gamble. It happened, and I was reluctant to see a doctor in order to save tuition.It was precisely because of the embarrassment at home that the second aunt was persuaded by Jia Zhengjing.

Yuan Ning looked at Zhang Xiuyan anxiously.

Zhang Xiuyan said: "Good schools have to take exams for admission, and there is still half a year left, so the time is not too short. I will hire you a tutor to teach you the basics."

"Tutor?" Yuan Ning was a little puzzled.

"Just ask a teacher to teach you at home." Zhang Xiuyan explained patiently.

Yuan Ning said "Oh", indicating that he understood.He couldn't help asking, "Is it going to cost a lot of money?"

Zhang Xiuyan told a white lie: "Not much." Although it was several times higher than the school tuition, the Zhang family was not short of this money.

Yuan Ning happily promised: "I will study hard!"

Yuan Ning smiled like that, as if the whole world lit up.

Zhang Xiuyan was dazzled by his smile.

Zhang Xiuyan quietly tore off the "little trouble" label on Yuan Ning and replaced it with a new one.

— Big trouble.

After the family had lunch, the tutor Zhang Xiuyan had found for Yuan Ning came to their door.It is a 20-year-old college student named Meng Zhao, from the Agricultural College.This was not Zhang Xiuyan's ideal candidate, but an acquaintance recommended that Meng Zhao was very patient and was relying on work-study programs to earn living expenses.Zhang Xiuyan learned about the grades and character of several candidates, and finally chose Meng Zhao from the shortlist.

Zhang Xiuyan saw Meng Zhao and personally checked him before leading him to Yuan Ning's room.Yuan Ning was supposed to take a nap, but he couldn't sleep, he was always waiting in the room.

Hearing the knock on the door, Yuan Ning immediately jumped up from the bed and ran over to open the door like a little rocket.Without Zhang Xiuyan opening his mouth, Yuan Ning obediently called out: "Teacher!"

After calling Yuan Ning, he still looked at Meng Zhao brought by Zhang Xiuyan with burning eyes.During the meal, Yuan Ning heard Zhang Xiuyan talking on the phone with someone. This teacher is a college student!How great are college students!Just as great as mom and dad!

Meng Zhao was taken aback by Yuan Ning, who was full of admiration, and immediately fell in love with the student he was about to teach.

Zhang Xiuyan: "..."

How can he be inferior to this Meng Zhao?

The author has something to say: Big Brother: The baby is not happy, and the baby will have a little emotion.

Ning Ning: Brother's face is so scary, did I do something wrong again?So disturbed_(:з」∠)_
