flirt with a rich man
Chapter 33 Gossip and broken words
After all, it was his son, Hou Hao reluctantly collected his expression, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't vent his anger, so he put on his clothes and went out to open the door.
Seeing that no one opened the door, Zhang's mother pulled Yiming, "Maybe your father is out, so go to grandma's first." Yiming agreed dejectedly.
At this time the door opened, Yiming saw that Hou Hao was smiling and rushed over, he almost fell to the ground without paying attention to the threshold.
Hou Hao sighed slightly, helped the child up, "Walk carefully."
Zhang's mother looked suspiciously, but she couldn't see anything with the bedroom door closed, "Is Xiao Zhuo not here?"
Hou Hao half-smiled: "Xiao Zhuo was not feeling well and fell asleep."
"Then I won't go in to see him." After saying goodbye to Yiming, he entered his house.
Yiming leaned on Hou Hao's thigh and rubbed his eyes, feeling unmotivated, "Dad is not well yet."
He didn't move, bent down to pick up the child and whispered, "Your father is fine." After entering the room, Yiming wanted to come down to see Xiao Zhuo, and went straight to the bedroom, "Dad."
Xiao Zhuo covered his eyes under the quilt and panted, quickly put on his clothes and lay down, and became very careful as soon as he came, kicked off his shoes, climbed onto the bed and lay on him, worried: "Daddy, you will get better soon."
He happened to be lying on his old waist, and with a muffled snort, Xiao Zhuo blushed, "Get up first." His voice was hoarse.
Hou Hao calmed down his emotions and carried the child down, "I'll accompany you to take a nap, and your father will also take a nap."
"It's already past noon." Yiming lowered his head, biting his fingers, "Can I sleep with my dad? Dad will coax me to sleep."
"Come up."
Immediately showing a smile, Hou Hao climbed up with all his hands and feet. Hou Hao's face turned blue and purple and pulled the little guy who was about to enter the bed, "Take off your clothes and go to sleep."
"Okay undress."
Hou Hao didn't speak for a while, and quietly helped Yiming take off his clothes. The room was eerily quiet.Xiao Zhuo felt that the smell in the quilt was unpleasant, so he got up and piled it on the stool and took out another bed from the closet, which was exactly the one that Hou Hao bought that day.
Why do you need to change the quilt? Yiming took off his clothes and only had a cotton sweater and cotton wool trousers. The pattern is Pleasant Goat. He liked it very much. He couldn’t move on Xiao Zhuo’s body. He felt uncomfortable and adjusted his position slightly, “It’s not warm in the quilt anymore. .”
Patting Yiming's butt lightly, Xiao Zhuo closed his eyes and felt that his hands were very wet, and the child's neck was still steaming, so he asked, "What did you play, you're sweating all over."
Yiming raised his head slightly, rubbed his eyes, and laughed: "Dancing, a lot of people are dancing."
Xiao Zhuo wiped off his sweat with a piece of paper, probably a group of elderly grandparents dancing in the square.He spotted movement in Hou Hao's lower body and slowly turned his head, "Do you want to take a bath?"
Pinching the bridge of his nose to relax, he also had this idea.
"Isn't Uncle Hou cold in the shower now?"
"not cold."
"I really want to take a shower too."
"No, you will be sick, sleep."
Yiming didn't say that he was going to take a bath, but moved up and hugged his father's neck tightly to sleep.
Thinking of the sound of water in the bathroom, Xiao Zhuo closed his eyes, patted the child with his hands, and unconsciously lost consciousness.
The weather was severe cold, Hou Hao adjusted the cold water temperature and gritted his teeth for a while, finally he calmed down and felt uncomfortable. The fragrance of wintersweet in full bloom was strong, and a layer of fragrance wafted in the bedroom. Seeing Xiao Zhuo and Yiming hugging each other, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he was careful. Going up to kiss Yiming, he couldn't help but chuckle when he heard the slow and rhythmic breathing of the two.
He looked at Xiao Zhuo, from the conflict at the beginning to the peaceful coexistence now, thanks to Yiming being in the middle, Yiming likes to open his mouth when he sleeps, and the saliva slipped across his chin and onto Xiao Zhuo's clothes while he was asleep, Hou Hao wiped it off carefully Seeing the other party's dissatisfaction, he turned his head to the other side with a hum.Xiao Zhuo also moved his hand to touch his son and fell asleep after finding nothing unusual.
He didn't know when the weight became heavier, he clasped Xiao Zhuo's hand and held it in his own, a stern look flashed in his eyes, his hands were about the same size and his fingers were interlocked one by one, he felt that he was hard again, at thirty and At Li Zheng's age, he couldn't extricate himself once he tasted something, and he couldn't help but want to swallow it when he thought of being interrupted.Seeing that the little guy was fast asleep, he gently carried it away from Xiao Zhuo and placed it between the two of them.
It really looks like a family of three.
There is no rush, he can wait slowly, take his time.
……
It feels good for Zhang Kai to get along with Lin Xia for a few days, the girl is lively and she understands that he likes to do modeling, and he later found out that Lin Xia also plays games, if this is not fate...
He didn't sleep all night, rummaged through tangled clothes but couldn't find any decent ones, it's all because he stayed in the house for too long, went out to buy a set of clothes early in the morning, and Zhang's mother couldn't pull them back.
"What's going on, boy, is he sick?"
Zhang's mother smiled, "His dad, my son has a girlfriend!"
"It's really not easy." Tsk-tsk twice, it's not because he deliberately looked down on his son, but Zhang Kai was beaten for being too gangster since he was a child.
It was quite embarrassing to stand in front of Lin Xia.
"you……"
Seeing that the man hadn't left yet, Lin Xia covered her mouth and smiled, "What's the matter?"
It was difficult to speak, Zhang Kai was impatient and scratched his hair, remembering that his hair had been specially groomed and put it down, the couple on the opposite side of the road came out with a dog, he was very envious when he saw it, and suddenly his brain opened.
"Lin Xia...you...do you like small animals?"
Lin Xia couldn't help hearing it, but seeing his shy look like a big girl, she couldn't help but shouted, "I don't like snakes." If it's a cat, I still like it very much.
He quickly waved his hands, opened his mouth and coughed twice, "Do you like dogs?"
"Like it."
Zhang Kai immediately put on a smiling face, "I have a dog at home. I have raised it for many years. It is ugly but it is very docile and will protect the master. My mother is too old to keep it. I want to ask you if you want it?"
So that's what happened.
Lin Xia said: "Now I'm busy with work and may not be able to keep it. How about I ask my friend for you? I have a friend who runs a pet center."
"No need, I just wanted to ask you. It's better to be raised by acquaintances. I don't worry about people I don't know. My dad said that no one wants it, so he kicked it out."
"How could it be like this!" His face darkened, he shouldn't have adopted him if he couldn't take good care of it, "If the dog doesn't live a long life, it will be gone, how can you be so cruel!"
Zhang Kai raised his head to see Lin Xia getting angry and panicked, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I'll go back and persuade you."
Lin Xia remained silent, thinking in her heart, "Let me go first."
Bowing as if facing an amnesty, he opened his face with a smile, "Then I'm relieved."
"What breed is your dog?"
"Pretty ordinary."
"talk."
"Singles."
Lin Xia couldn't help being stunned, blushing for a moment and hurriedly turned away, then turned to see Zhang Kaizi, turned around and was about to leave.
"Hey, you haven't said whether you want it or not." Could it be that he has no feelings for him in a hurry?
Deliberately lowering her face, Lin Xia said impatiently: "Didn't you say you want it? If you ask me again, I won't want it."
"Okay, okay, I won't say!"
Looking too silly, Lin Xia lowered his head to hide his smile, and calmed down when he thought about his ex-boyfriend, "Did Xiao Zhuo tell you about my ex-boyfriend?"
Zhang Kai stretched out his hand, "My love experience is only once, when I was in elementary school, I usually used my hands but never went to that kind of place!"
Also, how could the object of introduction not be introduced clearly.
Standing feeling cold, Lin Xia rubbed her hands to express her concerns, "I was afraid that you might have a reaction, since you didn't, I promise you."
The other party insisted on sending her home, and she didn't want to lose face. How could she expect to meet a family she didn't want to run into as soon as she arrived downstairs.His face was pale, and he pulled Zhang Kai to turn around.
"Lin Xia!"
Opened to see that the aura was wrong, and asked: "Is he..."
"Wang Xuegang, my ex-boyfriend."
The whole family was waiting at the door. The old lady stepped forward and pointed at the woman and yelled, "You demon ruined my son's life! I won't allow you to break up!"
"You don't care." Lin Xia's tone was very strong, "You all knew that he had AIDS and didn't tell me. Now it's all up to me. Why do you drag me with you if you die? Are you the emperor or someone else?" Yes He no longer has any feelings, especially when she is leaving the family. The old lady is not allowed to say that her son will have no wife in the future. If it weren't for her, people in the community would not know that he has AIDS.
"It's only natural to break up if you don't agree with your relationship. Why do you have to be by your son's side!" Zhang Kai has just become a boyfriend and girlfriend, and Zhang Kai is very strong and passionate, eager to show himself.
"Who are you!"
Lin Xia stopped Zhang Kai but did not.
"Her boyfriend!"
Now the Wang family members present were staring at each other with three pairs of eyes, and the old lady was about to breathe fire, and she was about to hit her with clenched fists, shouting: "You little slut, how long did it take to break up with Xue just now? The last one, I can't kill you and me!"
The scene immediately became chaotic, the community was very quiet, and everyone downstairs could hear any movement downstairs, and those who liked to gossip would stick their heads out.
Lin Xia was anxious and could only protect herself by Zhang Kai.
……
It was snowing heavily again, and there was a vast expanse of white downstairs. Yiming looked outside and saw that it was all white, "Dad, I want to build a snowman." Hou Hao was busy processing documents and looked outside, and said lightly, "I can't wait until the snow falls again." go."
"Ok."
When the snow stopped in the evening, Xiao Zhuo dragged Yiming downstairs to see if the vegetables he planted in the flower garden were not frozen to death.When the other party approached, it was really true, hair and clothes were messy, and there were several bloodstains on his face.
"Otaku also have a day to fight." Xiao Zhuo straddled the flower garden and confiscated it.
Zhang Kai looked irritated, seeing that there were not many people around, he took off his coat and helped his subordinates, "Lin Xia's ex-boyfriend's family is really top-notch, and they have to be responsible for going to Lin Xia's house every day and blocking the downstairs."
"Responsible for what?"
"Fame! The old lady said that if her son's reputation is ruined, he will have no children and grandchildren. She hates Lin Xia."
Xiao Zhuo said: "Then you started fighting with the old lady?" Just wanted to say bold.
"Bah! Who fought with the old lady? His son hit her, and the old lady scratched her face. I didn't dare to fight back because I was afraid that she would fall and rely on me." It was a very happy day, but it was a cross. , He casually wiped the snow and sat on the edge of the flowerbed, and said slowly, "I just confirmed my relationship with Lin Xia, you see, I went to buy some clothes." Touching his face, the scratches on it hurt.
Xiao Zhuo was quite surprised, this person was afraid of running into a scoundrel.
"Leave them alone, they are still pestering me, we two call back."
"Brother, you are really righteous." After poking Xiao Zhuo with his hand, he suddenly felt panicked. He looked up at Hou Hao, who was standing at the window and watched clearly from the third floor, with no expression on his face.
Panicked, Zhang Kai quickly patted his butt and went home
Bloody storms are inevitable, the two living rooms are only separated by a wall, a big movement can be transmitted immediately, the sofa has a new cushion, it is very soft and thick to the touch, and I don’t know when Hou Hao will buy it Yes, Yiming was playing with a durian in his arms when he heard a voice from the other side of the wall.
"Uncle Hou, are they arguing?"
Xiao Zhuo muted the TV and pricked up his ears, and then turned off the mute, "Dad doesn't know either."
"Oh." He lowered his head and continued to tease the durian.
The sound insulation of the old house is not good, Hou Hao is not used to staying in a quiet place for a long time, it is too noisy.
Not long after, the doorbell rang, "I'll open it." Xiao Zhuo got up and opened the door, and it really opened.
"My mother got angry and said that AIDS has an incubation period. Wait for three months to test again. If it is not positive, she will agree to my relationship with Lin Xia."
Xiao Zhuo said: "It's normal, anyway, it's impossible for you to get married so soon."
Zhang Kai didn't even change his clothes, "She said that if the matter with Lin Xia's ex-boyfriend is not resolved, I will be too hungry to walk around."
"It's also normal. No one wants to marry a wife and bring trouble."
"Hey." Zhang Kai said, "Didn't you help me? No matter what you say, it's all on my mother's side, whether it's brother or not."
"But your mother is right. From her point of view, it is not unnecessary to worry."
Hou Hao didn't ask about things, but he knew the same thing by listening left and right. He stood up from the sofa and walked to Xiao Zhuo's side, and casually asked, "The family already knew that their son had AIDS, right?"
Open nod.
Hou Hao was expressionless, took out his mobile phone to search the address book, and quickly sent a text message, "Tomorrow this lawyer will follow you to Lin Xia's house, so you can ask Lin Xia to take you to your ex-boyfriend's house, and the lawyer will tell them How to solve it, you can ask Lin Xia to ask for some youth compensation, and the whole family will definitely not dare to come again."
"It's that simple?"
"How complicated do you want to be." Hou Hao sneered, if he had no choice but to go private, he would go to work, and a scare would be enough.
Hurriedly writing down the mobile phone number, Zhang Kai didn't expect the man to help him.
Hou Hao saw through the mind of the person opposite at a glance, "Your house is too noisy."
Forced to smile, the stinging pain on his face was unbearable, and he said bitterly: "Do you have a band-aid?"
"Yes, you wait."
Putting on 4 band-aids, the whole face was disfigured. When he opened it and saw that both of them were looking at him, he felt that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he said thank you and ran away.
Cautiously opened the door of the house and rushed in, seeing Zhang's mother glaring at him angrily, embarrassed, "Mom."
It was a rare time to be a matchmaker, and the two of them felt a sense of accomplishment when they saw each other Xiao Zhuo. They never expected that the family would play a scoundrel and think that Lin Xia had solved it.
"Thank you."
Hou Hao stared at him for a while, then forcibly grabbed Xiao Zhuo, and forcefully said, "You're welcome."
"I'm not coming back tomorrow."
Xiao Zhuo said, "Oh."
After the male and female protagonists get married on TV, the male protagonist goes to work, and the female protagonist goes up to say goodbye with a kiss and smile, "Come back early."
Xiao Zhuo pointed at the TV, "Can't you just say 'come back soon'?"
The smile on his face disappeared, Xiao Zhuo tilted his head, "I can't." He hummed lightly, not wanting to communicate, coaxing Yiming straight into the bedroom.
Hou Hao opened his mouth, but closed it honestly.
Seeing him coming up, Xiao Zhuo pulled up the quilt and turned over to face him.
Hou Hao took a deep breath and then exhaled, "I have no other meaning." He groped for the other party's hand, and he didn't think it was very beautiful, but he liked it, "I just want to hear it, it seems that someone really wants me to Come back early, it's like home."
As far as I can remember, I was alone, in an empty room, in an empty home, wanting to feel cared for, maybe it was just something I said unintentionally.
In the darkness, only Xiao Zhuo's back could be vaguely seen, and he didn't move.
There was no reply for a long time, Hou Hao smiled wryly, and said to himself: "I'm not sure about the number of days. If it's quick, it's one day, if it's slow, it's three days. I'll come back sooner."
Look, ignore him.
The next day Xiao Zhuo got up and Hou Hao was no longer at home, Yiming was carried to sleep with him, his clothes were neatly folded on the chair as usual, last night's sigh seemed to be in his ears, he adjusted his emotions Go to sleep again.
He has always been in a light sleep, and he didn't notice any movement.
Zhang Kai and Lin Xia waited at the appointed place until the lawyer was smiling, and led them to Wang Xuegang's house.
Wang Xuegang's family are all ordinary workers, and it is not easy to provide for a college student to come out. Thinking of relying on their son to enjoy themselves, they did such a scandal. Their parents' protective psychology made them hate Lin Xia, and they saw people shutting the door with a 'bang'.
The lawyer was dressed in a black suit, with shiny leather shoes, and a pair of thin-rimmed eyes with an expressionless expression on his face. He raised his hand and stared at the doorbell.
I think he is also Hou's special legal adviser, and he was transferred to deal with this small emotional dispute.
The doorbell kept ringing, and Zhang Kai was so shocked to see the lawyer's tugging action, thinking: The lawyers hired by powerful people are different, so he immediately gave a thumbs up.I am even more grateful to Hou Hao.
The neighbors on the opposite side couldn't bear to open the door to face Wang's house and just smashed it, "Are you deaf! Do you know this is a nuisance to the people!"
The lawyer paused slightly, and within a few seconds, the door opened.
It's Wang Xuegang.
Seeing that Lin Xia had hired a lawyer, all three members of the family were obviously a bit confused, Wang Xuegang was the most, and said in a low voice: "Our matter will be settled in private, is it necessary to hire a lawyer?"
Lin Xia sneered, "How to solve it in private, living with you and raising your family is a waste of my life?"
Wang Xuegang shut up and couldn't speak.
The old lady yelled loudly: "It's either a marriage or 20!"
"20?" Lin Xia felt that he was really blind at the beginning, "Why give 20!"
"Just because you ruined my son's reputation! I won't be able to find a wife in the future!" The limited culture couldn't think of the word on TV for a long time, and said tremblingly, "That's what damage fee."
The lawyer pushed the mirror frame and said coldly, "Reputation damage fee."
"That's right!"
Wang Xuegang didn't want to be too stiff, "Mom, we can't do this!"
The old lady kicked it over and cursed: "Is it easy to save food and money for your study! Shut up!"
Very sure that this family is barbaric, the lawyer turned to look at the scratches on the faces of the two parties, "We should indeed pay compensation." Before they exclaimed, he waved his hands and continued, "But you also attacked my client personally and even let her live. The reputation in her community was discredited, and she was stopped and beaten at the door of her company, which caused the person involved financial, reputation, and spiritual damage."
I didn't understand a bunch of words, so the old man yelled: "Since you also feel that you need to pay compensation, there is no nonsense!"
The lawyer ignored him and asked Lin Xia, "Did you spread the news about his AIDS?"
"No, it was they who yelled so loudly that everyone knew about it. They didn't admit the illness at first, but they changed their tune after the evidence was overwhelming."
"Very good." The lawyer took out the documents from the bag and placed them on the table, "Since we can't reach an agreement, we will go to court. I will ask you to pay compensation for the response loss. In addition, I can tell you very clearly that you will lose the lawsuit." It's over." No more nonsense, he motioned to leave.
Zhang Kai completely became a fan of the lawyer, and pulled Lin Xia to follow.
The whole family swallowed their saliva watching, the lawyer spoke in a cold voice and faced the unfriendly, they were pulling their throats just to cheer themselves up, the three of them were about to leave the door in the blink of an eye, the old lady gritted her teeth and said, "Wait a minute!"
The lawyer immediately withdrew his foot, pushed the frame of the mirror and turned his head. You're the only one who can act blindly, but I can't?
Zhang Kai came out of Wang's house with a relaxed face, and bowed deeply to the lawyer, "Thank you so much."
The lawyer withdrew his hand and didn't take it seriously, his tone was cold, "If you want to thank me, thank my boss."
Lin Xia didn't understand, "Who is your boss?"
"Hou Hao."
The woman's body tensed instantly, and the lawyer left before she could react, "Open up, is Hou Hao that Hou Hao?"
If it is true, the news spread in that group...
"Yeah, that's Hou Hao, he's amazing." He was still complacent.
"How did you know him?"
"Xiao Zhuo, Xiao Zhuo knows."
Something seemed to be broken in my mind, shattered into pieces,
Lin Xia couldn't believe it, "Xiao Zhuo is gay?!" I thought Chao Chen was joking, but now that I think about how anyone would make fun of her sexual orientation, she is really stupid.
"Keep your voice down." Then he covered Lin Xia's mouth.
"You don't discriminate against them, do you?"
Zhang Kai restrained himself and laughed, and said solemnly: "Lin Xia, you were introduced by Xiao Zhuo, and I really like you too, but I want to say something, Xiao Zhuo is my brother, if you can't accept his words, let's go too Not together, the wife is for life, and so is the brother."
Lin Xia froze, and suddenly smiled, "I've heard the news a long time ago, but I'm a little surprised when it's confirmed, I can accept it."
No wonder she said that sentence suddenly, Zhang Kai also wondered where she had leaked her words.It's all said and there is no need to worry about it.
The hands were clenched quietly, the nails were stuck in the flesh, Lin Xia hid the emotion in his eyes, and waited until the nails were stuck to white, and the pain in the five fingers was unbearable before gradually letting go. At the same time, he relaxed his shoulders and gently stroked the stuck marks Sighing, he stepped forward and opened his arms around the ring actively.
"Don't be angry when I said that just now, I just care about Xiao Zhuo."
"It's okay, I also care about this good friend."
……
The man was shrouded in a dim environment, and only a small light above his head was turned on in the room. If a couple came to open the room, it would be quite romantic.The location of the floor is excellent. Standing in front of the window, you can overlook the most expensive location. Los Angeles, also known as the City of Angels, is the second largest city in the United States after New York. Now that night falls, the city is still bustling and dimly lit.
Hou Hao looked at the watch and stopped working, leaned back on the chair to rest, and kept rubbing the center of the mobile phone to heat up in his hand. He didn't dial it until the sky was slightly bright.
Working overtime and staying up late often happens, Hou Hao raised his spirits, and after the two parties submitted the materials, he called his assistant to stop: "Book a plane ticket for the evening."
"it is good."
Waving and interrupting the assistant's movements, the assistant waited for a long time without hearing the order and looked up curiously, "I have something to do tomorrow, it's uncertain."
It's not always good to stick together. Thinking about it this way, he diverted to Hou Jingna. Hou Jing was busy with the company's affairs and had not fulfilled her promise to return to China. Seeing Hou Hao's unexpected surprise, "He came to me on his own initiative."
"You are my sister, I can come anytime."
The little princess hadn't seen her uncle for a while and she missed her so much, she yelled: "Uncle, I miss you."
Hou Hao smiled and picked her up and turned around twice before putting her down, hooking her nose and saying, "I miss you too."
It seemed that something was different, my uncle would never do such an action, the little princess attributed it to the fact that 'uncle misses her', she pulled her uncle to the piano, and said, "I learned to play "Croatian Rhapsody" .”
He was still smiling one second, and played seriously the next second, "Santa Fe plays well."
Hou Jing covered her mouth and smiled, "She's just waiting to play it for you."
"How are you getting along with your family? Why didn't I bring Yiming with me this time? I haven't formally greeted him yet."
Hou Hao smiled lightly, "I'm here to talk about cooperation, I can't bring a child and Xiao Zhuo will definitely not allow me to bring it out."
Hou Jing didn't ask what she wanted to ask, so Hou Jing patted her younger brother on the shoulder, "I can talk about your business, and I will definitely say it. The new year is approaching and the company has a lot of things to do. I will give you a reassurance first, and I will see you after the New Year."
"Up to you." No rush.
Early in the morning Xiao Zhuo pulled his son up to eat, and carried him to Zhang Kai's house after dinner, "Stay well at grandma's house."
Yiming still wanted to sleep, so he nodded in a daze
As soon as Xiao Zhuo was satisfied, he went to work, and Yiming followed Zhang's mother to the square to dance. When he went out, he saw a person facing him and said in surprise, "Uncle Hou!"
The man stepped forward and hugged her, "Morning."
"You're off to work."
"Yes, I just came back." Nunu gestured to the suitcase next to him, and Yiming giggled.
Yiming curled his lips and said, "You didn't tell me when you went out."
Hou Hao rubbed off the most porridge stains on children, and he could still smell the baby cream on Yiming's body when he probed forward, "You must tell me when you go out in the future."
Only then did Yiming nodded in satisfaction, and went to the square dance with his grandma.
Mother Zhang looked the man up and down, then quietly looked away.
In the early evening, a few strangers came into the store. They were around 20 years old with wild eyes, and they looked like the gangsters around them.
Throwing out the fruit 6s and turning on the screen, the ruffian said: "Can I use the voucher?"
Li Wen was timid, Xiao Zhuo stepped forward, "It can be used."
"Come on, I want everything in your store."
Could it be that the person who came was a local tyrant, and disgust flashed in Xiao Zhuo's eyes, "Wait a minute." The smiling eyes of the curly-haired man in the lead made him very uncomfortable, like a snake, maybe it will bite you at any time, pass by him and smell it carefully Is it the bad perfume smell, the unpleasant frown, or the good smell on Hou Hao.
Unexpectedly, one hand touched his waist, and Slippery Qiu slid up the spine. The nausea burst out from his heart. Xiao Zhuo turned around and tried to block it, with a cold face, "What are you doing?"
"It's nothing, it's just..." The curly-haired man leaned closer to his ear, and said softly, "Look at your back being straight."
There was a burst of laughter around, at this time a customer wanted to come in to buy some snacks but was blocked outside, looked suspiciously and ran away immediately.
No matter how stupid you are, you will understand that there is something wrong with you.
Li Wen ran to the operating room and pulled the master, and said in a trembling voice: "I heard that there are gangsters, no... no, it's just... that's it."
Through the glass, the master looked at picking up the rolling pin, and Li Wen was even more flustered when he saw it. Hey, don't look at the master, who is fat but manly!
"Master, don't be impulsive."
The master glared at him, "Stop yelling." He looked back at the situation outside.
"Hey brother, you have changed to a fruit phone!"
"Hey, that day at the supermarket, a student didn't pay attention to his pocket, so I just borrowed it for fun. There is no lock. Didn't this be given to me on purpose?"
"Brother, you are amazing."
Xiao Zhuo's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly took away everything and packed it slowly, "685 yuan and 5 cents, I'll count it as 680 for you."
"Well, come Meituan."
The sweeping aunt came back after throwing out the garbage and saw so many people that she didn't look like a good person. She was frightened and ran to the back to not come out.
Verification, checkout, leaving, the process is no problem.
After confirming that the person was gone, Li Wen came out in a hurry, "I thought they were going to smash the store."
"Look at you." The master scolded, "I usually call myself a woman, so I don't want to be ashamed."
Li Wen stuck out his tongue, "I am a female man."
"Xiao Zhuo, I don't think these people are good people." The master was much older and worried.
Xiao Zhuo's complexion became extremely bad, the feeling of being touched just now was disgusting, if greasy earthworms crawled around on you, silently cleaned up the counter, fixed an area with a rag in his hand, and said after a long time: "The goods are out of stock." , If the income is not good at night, I will not make up for the time being, so let’s get off work.”
His intuition told him that it was not that simple.
Thinking of Hou Hao inexplicably in his heart, Xiao Zhuo put on his scarf and shook his head, feeling extremely heavy. It's almost Chinese New Year so don't let anything happen.
It was still early, and Xiao Zhuo came back to catch up with the old man in the alley to close the stall. He has been selling tofu nao at the entrance of the alley since he was a child. When he was a child, a bowl cost 5 cents, and now it costs 3 yuan. The price is very low and the taste is good. The young people around him basically I grew up eating.
"Grandpa, do you still have tofu brain?"
The old man looked at the pot slowly and said, "Yes."
"Give me a bowl and pack it up."
"It'll be fine right now."
Wrap up your clothes tightly, the alley is crowded but cold, Xiao Zhuo looked at the old man wearing an old jacket, and seemed to be sore, "Grandpa, where are your children?"
"In Shanghai, I just gave birth to my grandson this year." There was a smile in his eyes, the most ordinary happiness, "I'm getting old, I won't be able to work after a while, my son said to pick me up."
After receiving the four plastic boxes, Xiao Zhuo looked at them, and the cold wind went straight into his clothes, "Go back early, it's too cold."
Mother Zhang was chatting downstairs, Yiming was building a snowman on the other side, and Xiao Zhuo shouted from a distance, "Xiao Yiming!"
Hearing his father's voice in a daze, Yiming raised his head and grinned, "Dad." He ran over and accidentally slipped, and jumped forward on the snowman. "You're so annoying, I've piled them up for a long time." People in the same community know each other, Xiao Zhuo remembered calling Xiaotian, parked the car and wanted to help him, but Yiming got up wobbly and timidly said: "I'm sorry, I'm not On purpose." Grandma Xiaotian also persuaded, "Just pile up another one."
"Hmph." Puzzled, Xiaotian gave a fierce look, "Children without mothers are annoying."
He was far away and couldn't hear what he said, Xiao Zhuo saw Yiming was about to cry, and ran to him, "Don't cry."
Yiming immediately pouted and endured, not crying.After receiving the plastic box, it was hot and steamy, and he smelled the smell and said in surprise: "Tofu brain!"
Xiao Zhuo thought to himself, his son has a pretty good memory.He touched his little head and said, "Go back and eat it quickly."
"Yeah!" He hugged and walked back.
"Grandma, I want to eat too."
"Go and play by yourself, I don't have time to buy it for you."
Xiao Tian saw the kid smiling, and looked at the big snowman that took a day to build. He competed with his friends to see who could build the biggest snowman. Now that all the annoying things have been piled up, how can he get No.1, and the tofu brain he doesn’t have? eat, hum!
Without saying a word, he grabbed a big snowball and threw it at the kid.
Yiming focused on the things in his hands. Uncle Hou had been watching from the front. He was just about to wave, when his head was hit hard, and his body immediately fell forward. In response to lunch, the tofu brain flew out and 'slapped' attached to the plastic box He fell to pieces.He wiped his hands hard on the concrete floor.
Before he could utter the word "ah", Yiming was stunned by the fall, staring at the tofu brains gathered in small pieces in front of him, he got up alone, and felt the pain only when he noticed the pain in his palm.
Hou Hao took a step faster than Xiao Zhuo, saw the child's palm was bleeding a lot, walked up to Xiaotian with a coldness, "Apologize."
There was a lot of movement, and Zhang's mother also ran over to comfort Yiming. The child just threw himself in his father's arms and looked at the tofu nao on the ground without saying a word. His eyes were wet and he didn't move, with tears in his eyes, looking pitiful.
"Does your leg hurt?"
The child shook his head.
The baby was bleeding from the fall, Grandma Xiaotian hurriedly stopped the man, "Hey, the child is still young and ignorant, so don't worry about it."
Xiaotian hid behind his grandma and stared at Yiming, sticking out his tongue complacently, as if saying: It deserves it!Yiming didn't cry when he saw his eyes were red.
"Children are not a reason not to bear the consequences, you, apologize."
A few old ladies also came out to watch the movement, and they all chattered to help Grandma Xiaotian, "It's not common for adults to care about children like this."
Someone responded, Grandma Xiaotian was more imposing, touched her face and said to Xiao Zhuo: "The child is young and ignorant..."
"My mother saw that this kid took the initiative to smash my son. The child is so small, Yiming is two years younger than him! Why don't you say let my brother!"
"He's not my younger brother, but I have a mother!" Xiaotian feared that the world would not be chaotic.
This sentence ignited the trio, and Zhang's mother waved her arm, "The neighborhood has been in the neighborhood for so many years, Grandma Xiaotian, how did you teach your grandson to speak!"
The old man blushed and shouted: "Why, isn't it true!"
I don't know where Yiming got the courage, he rushed out of his father's arms with red eyes, rushed up to push Xiaotian, "You lie, you liar! You villain!"
Xiao Zhuo gasped, the height difference between the two children was two heads, Yiming must have been beaten, and sure enough, he was immediately pushed down by Xiaotian, but fortunately Hou Hao caught it and did not fall to the ground.
Hou Hao raised his hand, Xiao Zhuo thought he was going to make a move, would it be worth it?He hurriedly stopped him, but he didn't know that the other party was picking up the child by his neck.
That feeling was like hanging himself, Xiaotian's face flushed immediately and he had difficulty breathing, the strength of the man's hand control was not good, but it was more than enough to make him sad, Grandma Xiaotian yelled and hit Hou Hao.
"Apologize!"
Xiaotian was finally scared, and nodded while crying, Hou Hao calmed down after slapping him, "Apologize."
"Yes... I'm sorry..." Xiaotian finished speaking tremblingly, and the door of the hiding room could not be closed.
Grandma Xiaotian saw that the two big men hated her, she sat on the ground and cried loudly: "Oh my god, Lao Xiao's family gave birth to a good son who bullied us!"
"You judge me and bully me as an old lady, what a little genius, my wife, take me away, you can't live it!"
Yiming had never seen such a scene before. He hugged Xiao Zhuo's leg and held him tight. Hou Hao picked him up expressionlessly, swept the child's hand and his heart twitched violently, and kissed him, "Go home." No matter Xiao Zhuo Permitted or not, dragging people upstairs.
And Xiao Zhuo didn't struggle until the red seal was squeezed out.
What Xiaotian said irritated him, Xiao Zhuo took out medical alcohol and washed Yiming, his hands were even trembling slightly without any rules.
Yiming held back his tears and didn't cry, "Father."
"Do they say that so often that you don't play with them?"
"Well, I don't have a mother or a father, and I don't look like you."
It's not that Yiming is introverted and doesn't like to take the initiative to find children to play with, it's that they don't regard Yiming as a partner at all!
His face was too ugly, Hou Hao came over to take over the work in hand, and supported him with one hand, "You go out first, I'll do it."
In a daze, he recalled all the broken words he heard in the past few years. He thought he took good care of his son, but he never asked who he played with. He was always alone.
What's the use of persisting, Xiao Zhuo covered his face and said weakly: "Move to your house, I..."
The landline rang, and after a glance, it hadn't rang for many years. After hesitating, he answered, "Hello."
"Excuse me, are you Xiao Zhuo?"
"Yes, I am."
……
Hou Hao wiped the wound carefully, and his movements were gentle, "Cry if you want to cry, uncle don't
Seeing that no one opened the door, Zhang's mother pulled Yiming, "Maybe your father is out, so go to grandma's first." Yiming agreed dejectedly.
At this time the door opened, Yiming saw that Hou Hao was smiling and rushed over, he almost fell to the ground without paying attention to the threshold.
Hou Hao sighed slightly, helped the child up, "Walk carefully."
Zhang's mother looked suspiciously, but she couldn't see anything with the bedroom door closed, "Is Xiao Zhuo not here?"
Hou Hao half-smiled: "Xiao Zhuo was not feeling well and fell asleep."
"Then I won't go in to see him." After saying goodbye to Yiming, he entered his house.
Yiming leaned on Hou Hao's thigh and rubbed his eyes, feeling unmotivated, "Dad is not well yet."
He didn't move, bent down to pick up the child and whispered, "Your father is fine." After entering the room, Yiming wanted to come down to see Xiao Zhuo, and went straight to the bedroom, "Dad."
Xiao Zhuo covered his eyes under the quilt and panted, quickly put on his clothes and lay down, and became very careful as soon as he came, kicked off his shoes, climbed onto the bed and lay on him, worried: "Daddy, you will get better soon."
He happened to be lying on his old waist, and with a muffled snort, Xiao Zhuo blushed, "Get up first." His voice was hoarse.
Hou Hao calmed down his emotions and carried the child down, "I'll accompany you to take a nap, and your father will also take a nap."
"It's already past noon." Yiming lowered his head, biting his fingers, "Can I sleep with my dad? Dad will coax me to sleep."
"Come up."
Immediately showing a smile, Hou Hao climbed up with all his hands and feet. Hou Hao's face turned blue and purple and pulled the little guy who was about to enter the bed, "Take off your clothes and go to sleep."
"Okay undress."
Hou Hao didn't speak for a while, and quietly helped Yiming take off his clothes. The room was eerily quiet.Xiao Zhuo felt that the smell in the quilt was unpleasant, so he got up and piled it on the stool and took out another bed from the closet, which was exactly the one that Hou Hao bought that day.
Why do you need to change the quilt? Yiming took off his clothes and only had a cotton sweater and cotton wool trousers. The pattern is Pleasant Goat. He liked it very much. He couldn’t move on Xiao Zhuo’s body. He felt uncomfortable and adjusted his position slightly, “It’s not warm in the quilt anymore. .”
Patting Yiming's butt lightly, Xiao Zhuo closed his eyes and felt that his hands were very wet, and the child's neck was still steaming, so he asked, "What did you play, you're sweating all over."
Yiming raised his head slightly, rubbed his eyes, and laughed: "Dancing, a lot of people are dancing."
Xiao Zhuo wiped off his sweat with a piece of paper, probably a group of elderly grandparents dancing in the square.He spotted movement in Hou Hao's lower body and slowly turned his head, "Do you want to take a bath?"
Pinching the bridge of his nose to relax, he also had this idea.
"Isn't Uncle Hou cold in the shower now?"
"not cold."
"I really want to take a shower too."
"No, you will be sick, sleep."
Yiming didn't say that he was going to take a bath, but moved up and hugged his father's neck tightly to sleep.
Thinking of the sound of water in the bathroom, Xiao Zhuo closed his eyes, patted the child with his hands, and unconsciously lost consciousness.
The weather was severe cold, Hou Hao adjusted the cold water temperature and gritted his teeth for a while, finally he calmed down and felt uncomfortable. The fragrance of wintersweet in full bloom was strong, and a layer of fragrance wafted in the bedroom. Seeing Xiao Zhuo and Yiming hugging each other, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he was careful. Going up to kiss Yiming, he couldn't help but chuckle when he heard the slow and rhythmic breathing of the two.
He looked at Xiao Zhuo, from the conflict at the beginning to the peaceful coexistence now, thanks to Yiming being in the middle, Yiming likes to open his mouth when he sleeps, and the saliva slipped across his chin and onto Xiao Zhuo's clothes while he was asleep, Hou Hao wiped it off carefully Seeing the other party's dissatisfaction, he turned his head to the other side with a hum.Xiao Zhuo also moved his hand to touch his son and fell asleep after finding nothing unusual.
He didn't know when the weight became heavier, he clasped Xiao Zhuo's hand and held it in his own, a stern look flashed in his eyes, his hands were about the same size and his fingers were interlocked one by one, he felt that he was hard again, at thirty and At Li Zheng's age, he couldn't extricate himself once he tasted something, and he couldn't help but want to swallow it when he thought of being interrupted.Seeing that the little guy was fast asleep, he gently carried it away from Xiao Zhuo and placed it between the two of them.
It really looks like a family of three.
There is no rush, he can wait slowly, take his time.
……
It feels good for Zhang Kai to get along with Lin Xia for a few days, the girl is lively and she understands that he likes to do modeling, and he later found out that Lin Xia also plays games, if this is not fate...
He didn't sleep all night, rummaged through tangled clothes but couldn't find any decent ones, it's all because he stayed in the house for too long, went out to buy a set of clothes early in the morning, and Zhang's mother couldn't pull them back.
"What's going on, boy, is he sick?"
Zhang's mother smiled, "His dad, my son has a girlfriend!"
"It's really not easy." Tsk-tsk twice, it's not because he deliberately looked down on his son, but Zhang Kai was beaten for being too gangster since he was a child.
It was quite embarrassing to stand in front of Lin Xia.
"you……"
Seeing that the man hadn't left yet, Lin Xia covered her mouth and smiled, "What's the matter?"
It was difficult to speak, Zhang Kai was impatient and scratched his hair, remembering that his hair had been specially groomed and put it down, the couple on the opposite side of the road came out with a dog, he was very envious when he saw it, and suddenly his brain opened.
"Lin Xia...you...do you like small animals?"
Lin Xia couldn't help hearing it, but seeing his shy look like a big girl, she couldn't help but shouted, "I don't like snakes." If it's a cat, I still like it very much.
He quickly waved his hands, opened his mouth and coughed twice, "Do you like dogs?"
"Like it."
Zhang Kai immediately put on a smiling face, "I have a dog at home. I have raised it for many years. It is ugly but it is very docile and will protect the master. My mother is too old to keep it. I want to ask you if you want it?"
So that's what happened.
Lin Xia said: "Now I'm busy with work and may not be able to keep it. How about I ask my friend for you? I have a friend who runs a pet center."
"No need, I just wanted to ask you. It's better to be raised by acquaintances. I don't worry about people I don't know. My dad said that no one wants it, so he kicked it out."
"How could it be like this!" His face darkened, he shouldn't have adopted him if he couldn't take good care of it, "If the dog doesn't live a long life, it will be gone, how can you be so cruel!"
Zhang Kai raised his head to see Lin Xia getting angry and panicked, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I'll go back and persuade you."
Lin Xia remained silent, thinking in her heart, "Let me go first."
Bowing as if facing an amnesty, he opened his face with a smile, "Then I'm relieved."
"What breed is your dog?"
"Pretty ordinary."
"talk."
"Singles."
Lin Xia couldn't help being stunned, blushing for a moment and hurriedly turned away, then turned to see Zhang Kaizi, turned around and was about to leave.
"Hey, you haven't said whether you want it or not." Could it be that he has no feelings for him in a hurry?
Deliberately lowering her face, Lin Xia said impatiently: "Didn't you say you want it? If you ask me again, I won't want it."
"Okay, okay, I won't say!"
Looking too silly, Lin Xia lowered his head to hide his smile, and calmed down when he thought about his ex-boyfriend, "Did Xiao Zhuo tell you about my ex-boyfriend?"
Zhang Kai stretched out his hand, "My love experience is only once, when I was in elementary school, I usually used my hands but never went to that kind of place!"
Also, how could the object of introduction not be introduced clearly.
Standing feeling cold, Lin Xia rubbed her hands to express her concerns, "I was afraid that you might have a reaction, since you didn't, I promise you."
The other party insisted on sending her home, and she didn't want to lose face. How could she expect to meet a family she didn't want to run into as soon as she arrived downstairs.His face was pale, and he pulled Zhang Kai to turn around.
"Lin Xia!"
Opened to see that the aura was wrong, and asked: "Is he..."
"Wang Xuegang, my ex-boyfriend."
The whole family was waiting at the door. The old lady stepped forward and pointed at the woman and yelled, "You demon ruined my son's life! I won't allow you to break up!"
"You don't care." Lin Xia's tone was very strong, "You all knew that he had AIDS and didn't tell me. Now it's all up to me. Why do you drag me with you if you die? Are you the emperor or someone else?" Yes He no longer has any feelings, especially when she is leaving the family. The old lady is not allowed to say that her son will have no wife in the future. If it weren't for her, people in the community would not know that he has AIDS.
"It's only natural to break up if you don't agree with your relationship. Why do you have to be by your son's side!" Zhang Kai has just become a boyfriend and girlfriend, and Zhang Kai is very strong and passionate, eager to show himself.
"Who are you!"
Lin Xia stopped Zhang Kai but did not.
"Her boyfriend!"
Now the Wang family members present were staring at each other with three pairs of eyes, and the old lady was about to breathe fire, and she was about to hit her with clenched fists, shouting: "You little slut, how long did it take to break up with Xue just now? The last one, I can't kill you and me!"
The scene immediately became chaotic, the community was very quiet, and everyone downstairs could hear any movement downstairs, and those who liked to gossip would stick their heads out.
Lin Xia was anxious and could only protect herself by Zhang Kai.
……
It was snowing heavily again, and there was a vast expanse of white downstairs. Yiming looked outside and saw that it was all white, "Dad, I want to build a snowman." Hou Hao was busy processing documents and looked outside, and said lightly, "I can't wait until the snow falls again." go."
"Ok."
When the snow stopped in the evening, Xiao Zhuo dragged Yiming downstairs to see if the vegetables he planted in the flower garden were not frozen to death.When the other party approached, it was really true, hair and clothes were messy, and there were several bloodstains on his face.
"Otaku also have a day to fight." Xiao Zhuo straddled the flower garden and confiscated it.
Zhang Kai looked irritated, seeing that there were not many people around, he took off his coat and helped his subordinates, "Lin Xia's ex-boyfriend's family is really top-notch, and they have to be responsible for going to Lin Xia's house every day and blocking the downstairs."
"Responsible for what?"
"Fame! The old lady said that if her son's reputation is ruined, he will have no children and grandchildren. She hates Lin Xia."
Xiao Zhuo said: "Then you started fighting with the old lady?" Just wanted to say bold.
"Bah! Who fought with the old lady? His son hit her, and the old lady scratched her face. I didn't dare to fight back because I was afraid that she would fall and rely on me." It was a very happy day, but it was a cross. , He casually wiped the snow and sat on the edge of the flowerbed, and said slowly, "I just confirmed my relationship with Lin Xia, you see, I went to buy some clothes." Touching his face, the scratches on it hurt.
Xiao Zhuo was quite surprised, this person was afraid of running into a scoundrel.
"Leave them alone, they are still pestering me, we two call back."
"Brother, you are really righteous." After poking Xiao Zhuo with his hand, he suddenly felt panicked. He looked up at Hou Hao, who was standing at the window and watched clearly from the third floor, with no expression on his face.
Panicked, Zhang Kai quickly patted his butt and went home
Bloody storms are inevitable, the two living rooms are only separated by a wall, a big movement can be transmitted immediately, the sofa has a new cushion, it is very soft and thick to the touch, and I don’t know when Hou Hao will buy it Yes, Yiming was playing with a durian in his arms when he heard a voice from the other side of the wall.
"Uncle Hou, are they arguing?"
Xiao Zhuo muted the TV and pricked up his ears, and then turned off the mute, "Dad doesn't know either."
"Oh." He lowered his head and continued to tease the durian.
The sound insulation of the old house is not good, Hou Hao is not used to staying in a quiet place for a long time, it is too noisy.
Not long after, the doorbell rang, "I'll open it." Xiao Zhuo got up and opened the door, and it really opened.
"My mother got angry and said that AIDS has an incubation period. Wait for three months to test again. If it is not positive, she will agree to my relationship with Lin Xia."
Xiao Zhuo said: "It's normal, anyway, it's impossible for you to get married so soon."
Zhang Kai didn't even change his clothes, "She said that if the matter with Lin Xia's ex-boyfriend is not resolved, I will be too hungry to walk around."
"It's also normal. No one wants to marry a wife and bring trouble."
"Hey." Zhang Kai said, "Didn't you help me? No matter what you say, it's all on my mother's side, whether it's brother or not."
"But your mother is right. From her point of view, it is not unnecessary to worry."
Hou Hao didn't ask about things, but he knew the same thing by listening left and right. He stood up from the sofa and walked to Xiao Zhuo's side, and casually asked, "The family already knew that their son had AIDS, right?"
Open nod.
Hou Hao was expressionless, took out his mobile phone to search the address book, and quickly sent a text message, "Tomorrow this lawyer will follow you to Lin Xia's house, so you can ask Lin Xia to take you to your ex-boyfriend's house, and the lawyer will tell them How to solve it, you can ask Lin Xia to ask for some youth compensation, and the whole family will definitely not dare to come again."
"It's that simple?"
"How complicated do you want to be." Hou Hao sneered, if he had no choice but to go private, he would go to work, and a scare would be enough.
Hurriedly writing down the mobile phone number, Zhang Kai didn't expect the man to help him.
Hou Hao saw through the mind of the person opposite at a glance, "Your house is too noisy."
Forced to smile, the stinging pain on his face was unbearable, and he said bitterly: "Do you have a band-aid?"
"Yes, you wait."
Putting on 4 band-aids, the whole face was disfigured. When he opened it and saw that both of them were looking at him, he felt that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he said thank you and ran away.
Cautiously opened the door of the house and rushed in, seeing Zhang's mother glaring at him angrily, embarrassed, "Mom."
It was a rare time to be a matchmaker, and the two of them felt a sense of accomplishment when they saw each other Xiao Zhuo. They never expected that the family would play a scoundrel and think that Lin Xia had solved it.
"Thank you."
Hou Hao stared at him for a while, then forcibly grabbed Xiao Zhuo, and forcefully said, "You're welcome."
"I'm not coming back tomorrow."
Xiao Zhuo said, "Oh."
After the male and female protagonists get married on TV, the male protagonist goes to work, and the female protagonist goes up to say goodbye with a kiss and smile, "Come back early."
Xiao Zhuo pointed at the TV, "Can't you just say 'come back soon'?"
The smile on his face disappeared, Xiao Zhuo tilted his head, "I can't." He hummed lightly, not wanting to communicate, coaxing Yiming straight into the bedroom.
Hou Hao opened his mouth, but closed it honestly.
Seeing him coming up, Xiao Zhuo pulled up the quilt and turned over to face him.
Hou Hao took a deep breath and then exhaled, "I have no other meaning." He groped for the other party's hand, and he didn't think it was very beautiful, but he liked it, "I just want to hear it, it seems that someone really wants me to Come back early, it's like home."
As far as I can remember, I was alone, in an empty room, in an empty home, wanting to feel cared for, maybe it was just something I said unintentionally.
In the darkness, only Xiao Zhuo's back could be vaguely seen, and he didn't move.
There was no reply for a long time, Hou Hao smiled wryly, and said to himself: "I'm not sure about the number of days. If it's quick, it's one day, if it's slow, it's three days. I'll come back sooner."
Look, ignore him.
The next day Xiao Zhuo got up and Hou Hao was no longer at home, Yiming was carried to sleep with him, his clothes were neatly folded on the chair as usual, last night's sigh seemed to be in his ears, he adjusted his emotions Go to sleep again.
He has always been in a light sleep, and he didn't notice any movement.
Zhang Kai and Lin Xia waited at the appointed place until the lawyer was smiling, and led them to Wang Xuegang's house.
Wang Xuegang's family are all ordinary workers, and it is not easy to provide for a college student to come out. Thinking of relying on their son to enjoy themselves, they did such a scandal. Their parents' protective psychology made them hate Lin Xia, and they saw people shutting the door with a 'bang'.
The lawyer was dressed in a black suit, with shiny leather shoes, and a pair of thin-rimmed eyes with an expressionless expression on his face. He raised his hand and stared at the doorbell.
I think he is also Hou's special legal adviser, and he was transferred to deal with this small emotional dispute.
The doorbell kept ringing, and Zhang Kai was so shocked to see the lawyer's tugging action, thinking: The lawyers hired by powerful people are different, so he immediately gave a thumbs up.I am even more grateful to Hou Hao.
The neighbors on the opposite side couldn't bear to open the door to face Wang's house and just smashed it, "Are you deaf! Do you know this is a nuisance to the people!"
The lawyer paused slightly, and within a few seconds, the door opened.
It's Wang Xuegang.
Seeing that Lin Xia had hired a lawyer, all three members of the family were obviously a bit confused, Wang Xuegang was the most, and said in a low voice: "Our matter will be settled in private, is it necessary to hire a lawyer?"
Lin Xia sneered, "How to solve it in private, living with you and raising your family is a waste of my life?"
Wang Xuegang shut up and couldn't speak.
The old lady yelled loudly: "It's either a marriage or 20!"
"20?" Lin Xia felt that he was really blind at the beginning, "Why give 20!"
"Just because you ruined my son's reputation! I won't be able to find a wife in the future!" The limited culture couldn't think of the word on TV for a long time, and said tremblingly, "That's what damage fee."
The lawyer pushed the mirror frame and said coldly, "Reputation damage fee."
"That's right!"
Wang Xuegang didn't want to be too stiff, "Mom, we can't do this!"
The old lady kicked it over and cursed: "Is it easy to save food and money for your study! Shut up!"
Very sure that this family is barbaric, the lawyer turned to look at the scratches on the faces of the two parties, "We should indeed pay compensation." Before they exclaimed, he waved his hands and continued, "But you also attacked my client personally and even let her live. The reputation in her community was discredited, and she was stopped and beaten at the door of her company, which caused the person involved financial, reputation, and spiritual damage."
I didn't understand a bunch of words, so the old man yelled: "Since you also feel that you need to pay compensation, there is no nonsense!"
The lawyer ignored him and asked Lin Xia, "Did you spread the news about his AIDS?"
"No, it was they who yelled so loudly that everyone knew about it. They didn't admit the illness at first, but they changed their tune after the evidence was overwhelming."
"Very good." The lawyer took out the documents from the bag and placed them on the table, "Since we can't reach an agreement, we will go to court. I will ask you to pay compensation for the response loss. In addition, I can tell you very clearly that you will lose the lawsuit." It's over." No more nonsense, he motioned to leave.
Zhang Kai completely became a fan of the lawyer, and pulled Lin Xia to follow.
The whole family swallowed their saliva watching, the lawyer spoke in a cold voice and faced the unfriendly, they were pulling their throats just to cheer themselves up, the three of them were about to leave the door in the blink of an eye, the old lady gritted her teeth and said, "Wait a minute!"
The lawyer immediately withdrew his foot, pushed the frame of the mirror and turned his head. You're the only one who can act blindly, but I can't?
Zhang Kai came out of Wang's house with a relaxed face, and bowed deeply to the lawyer, "Thank you so much."
The lawyer withdrew his hand and didn't take it seriously, his tone was cold, "If you want to thank me, thank my boss."
Lin Xia didn't understand, "Who is your boss?"
"Hou Hao."
The woman's body tensed instantly, and the lawyer left before she could react, "Open up, is Hou Hao that Hou Hao?"
If it is true, the news spread in that group...
"Yeah, that's Hou Hao, he's amazing." He was still complacent.
"How did you know him?"
"Xiao Zhuo, Xiao Zhuo knows."
Something seemed to be broken in my mind, shattered into pieces,
Lin Xia couldn't believe it, "Xiao Zhuo is gay?!" I thought Chao Chen was joking, but now that I think about how anyone would make fun of her sexual orientation, she is really stupid.
"Keep your voice down." Then he covered Lin Xia's mouth.
"You don't discriminate against them, do you?"
Zhang Kai restrained himself and laughed, and said solemnly: "Lin Xia, you were introduced by Xiao Zhuo, and I really like you too, but I want to say something, Xiao Zhuo is my brother, if you can't accept his words, let's go too Not together, the wife is for life, and so is the brother."
Lin Xia froze, and suddenly smiled, "I've heard the news a long time ago, but I'm a little surprised when it's confirmed, I can accept it."
No wonder she said that sentence suddenly, Zhang Kai also wondered where she had leaked her words.It's all said and there is no need to worry about it.
The hands were clenched quietly, the nails were stuck in the flesh, Lin Xia hid the emotion in his eyes, and waited until the nails were stuck to white, and the pain in the five fingers was unbearable before gradually letting go. At the same time, he relaxed his shoulders and gently stroked the stuck marks Sighing, he stepped forward and opened his arms around the ring actively.
"Don't be angry when I said that just now, I just care about Xiao Zhuo."
"It's okay, I also care about this good friend."
……
The man was shrouded in a dim environment, and only a small light above his head was turned on in the room. If a couple came to open the room, it would be quite romantic.The location of the floor is excellent. Standing in front of the window, you can overlook the most expensive location. Los Angeles, also known as the City of Angels, is the second largest city in the United States after New York. Now that night falls, the city is still bustling and dimly lit.
Hou Hao looked at the watch and stopped working, leaned back on the chair to rest, and kept rubbing the center of the mobile phone to heat up in his hand. He didn't dial it until the sky was slightly bright.
Working overtime and staying up late often happens, Hou Hao raised his spirits, and after the two parties submitted the materials, he called his assistant to stop: "Book a plane ticket for the evening."
"it is good."
Waving and interrupting the assistant's movements, the assistant waited for a long time without hearing the order and looked up curiously, "I have something to do tomorrow, it's uncertain."
It's not always good to stick together. Thinking about it this way, he diverted to Hou Jingna. Hou Jing was busy with the company's affairs and had not fulfilled her promise to return to China. Seeing Hou Hao's unexpected surprise, "He came to me on his own initiative."
"You are my sister, I can come anytime."
The little princess hadn't seen her uncle for a while and she missed her so much, she yelled: "Uncle, I miss you."
Hou Hao smiled and picked her up and turned around twice before putting her down, hooking her nose and saying, "I miss you too."
It seemed that something was different, my uncle would never do such an action, the little princess attributed it to the fact that 'uncle misses her', she pulled her uncle to the piano, and said, "I learned to play "Croatian Rhapsody" .”
He was still smiling one second, and played seriously the next second, "Santa Fe plays well."
Hou Jing covered her mouth and smiled, "She's just waiting to play it for you."
"How are you getting along with your family? Why didn't I bring Yiming with me this time? I haven't formally greeted him yet."
Hou Hao smiled lightly, "I'm here to talk about cooperation, I can't bring a child and Xiao Zhuo will definitely not allow me to bring it out."
Hou Jing didn't ask what she wanted to ask, so Hou Jing patted her younger brother on the shoulder, "I can talk about your business, and I will definitely say it. The new year is approaching and the company has a lot of things to do. I will give you a reassurance first, and I will see you after the New Year."
"Up to you." No rush.
Early in the morning Xiao Zhuo pulled his son up to eat, and carried him to Zhang Kai's house after dinner, "Stay well at grandma's house."
Yiming still wanted to sleep, so he nodded in a daze
As soon as Xiao Zhuo was satisfied, he went to work, and Yiming followed Zhang's mother to the square to dance. When he went out, he saw a person facing him and said in surprise, "Uncle Hou!"
The man stepped forward and hugged her, "Morning."
"You're off to work."
"Yes, I just came back." Nunu gestured to the suitcase next to him, and Yiming giggled.
Yiming curled his lips and said, "You didn't tell me when you went out."
Hou Hao rubbed off the most porridge stains on children, and he could still smell the baby cream on Yiming's body when he probed forward, "You must tell me when you go out in the future."
Only then did Yiming nodded in satisfaction, and went to the square dance with his grandma.
Mother Zhang looked the man up and down, then quietly looked away.
In the early evening, a few strangers came into the store. They were around 20 years old with wild eyes, and they looked like the gangsters around them.
Throwing out the fruit 6s and turning on the screen, the ruffian said: "Can I use the voucher?"
Li Wen was timid, Xiao Zhuo stepped forward, "It can be used."
"Come on, I want everything in your store."
Could it be that the person who came was a local tyrant, and disgust flashed in Xiao Zhuo's eyes, "Wait a minute." The smiling eyes of the curly-haired man in the lead made him very uncomfortable, like a snake, maybe it will bite you at any time, pass by him and smell it carefully Is it the bad perfume smell, the unpleasant frown, or the good smell on Hou Hao.
Unexpectedly, one hand touched his waist, and Slippery Qiu slid up the spine. The nausea burst out from his heart. Xiao Zhuo turned around and tried to block it, with a cold face, "What are you doing?"
"It's nothing, it's just..." The curly-haired man leaned closer to his ear, and said softly, "Look at your back being straight."
There was a burst of laughter around, at this time a customer wanted to come in to buy some snacks but was blocked outside, looked suspiciously and ran away immediately.
No matter how stupid you are, you will understand that there is something wrong with you.
Li Wen ran to the operating room and pulled the master, and said in a trembling voice: "I heard that there are gangsters, no... no, it's just... that's it."
Through the glass, the master looked at picking up the rolling pin, and Li Wen was even more flustered when he saw it. Hey, don't look at the master, who is fat but manly!
"Master, don't be impulsive."
The master glared at him, "Stop yelling." He looked back at the situation outside.
"Hey brother, you have changed to a fruit phone!"
"Hey, that day at the supermarket, a student didn't pay attention to his pocket, so I just borrowed it for fun. There is no lock. Didn't this be given to me on purpose?"
"Brother, you are amazing."
Xiao Zhuo's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly took away everything and packed it slowly, "685 yuan and 5 cents, I'll count it as 680 for you."
"Well, come Meituan."
The sweeping aunt came back after throwing out the garbage and saw so many people that she didn't look like a good person. She was frightened and ran to the back to not come out.
Verification, checkout, leaving, the process is no problem.
After confirming that the person was gone, Li Wen came out in a hurry, "I thought they were going to smash the store."
"Look at you." The master scolded, "I usually call myself a woman, so I don't want to be ashamed."
Li Wen stuck out his tongue, "I am a female man."
"Xiao Zhuo, I don't think these people are good people." The master was much older and worried.
Xiao Zhuo's complexion became extremely bad, the feeling of being touched just now was disgusting, if greasy earthworms crawled around on you, silently cleaned up the counter, fixed an area with a rag in his hand, and said after a long time: "The goods are out of stock." , If the income is not good at night, I will not make up for the time being, so let’s get off work.”
His intuition told him that it was not that simple.
Thinking of Hou Hao inexplicably in his heart, Xiao Zhuo put on his scarf and shook his head, feeling extremely heavy. It's almost Chinese New Year so don't let anything happen.
It was still early, and Xiao Zhuo came back to catch up with the old man in the alley to close the stall. He has been selling tofu nao at the entrance of the alley since he was a child. When he was a child, a bowl cost 5 cents, and now it costs 3 yuan. The price is very low and the taste is good. The young people around him basically I grew up eating.
"Grandpa, do you still have tofu brain?"
The old man looked at the pot slowly and said, "Yes."
"Give me a bowl and pack it up."
"It'll be fine right now."
Wrap up your clothes tightly, the alley is crowded but cold, Xiao Zhuo looked at the old man wearing an old jacket, and seemed to be sore, "Grandpa, where are your children?"
"In Shanghai, I just gave birth to my grandson this year." There was a smile in his eyes, the most ordinary happiness, "I'm getting old, I won't be able to work after a while, my son said to pick me up."
After receiving the four plastic boxes, Xiao Zhuo looked at them, and the cold wind went straight into his clothes, "Go back early, it's too cold."
Mother Zhang was chatting downstairs, Yiming was building a snowman on the other side, and Xiao Zhuo shouted from a distance, "Xiao Yiming!"
Hearing his father's voice in a daze, Yiming raised his head and grinned, "Dad." He ran over and accidentally slipped, and jumped forward on the snowman. "You're so annoying, I've piled them up for a long time." People in the same community know each other, Xiao Zhuo remembered calling Xiaotian, parked the car and wanted to help him, but Yiming got up wobbly and timidly said: "I'm sorry, I'm not On purpose." Grandma Xiaotian also persuaded, "Just pile up another one."
"Hmph." Puzzled, Xiaotian gave a fierce look, "Children without mothers are annoying."
He was far away and couldn't hear what he said, Xiao Zhuo saw Yiming was about to cry, and ran to him, "Don't cry."
Yiming immediately pouted and endured, not crying.After receiving the plastic box, it was hot and steamy, and he smelled the smell and said in surprise: "Tofu brain!"
Xiao Zhuo thought to himself, his son has a pretty good memory.He touched his little head and said, "Go back and eat it quickly."
"Yeah!" He hugged and walked back.
"Grandma, I want to eat too."
"Go and play by yourself, I don't have time to buy it for you."
Xiao Tian saw the kid smiling, and looked at the big snowman that took a day to build. He competed with his friends to see who could build the biggest snowman. Now that all the annoying things have been piled up, how can he get No.1, and the tofu brain he doesn’t have? eat, hum!
Without saying a word, he grabbed a big snowball and threw it at the kid.
Yiming focused on the things in his hands. Uncle Hou had been watching from the front. He was just about to wave, when his head was hit hard, and his body immediately fell forward. In response to lunch, the tofu brain flew out and 'slapped' attached to the plastic box He fell to pieces.He wiped his hands hard on the concrete floor.
Before he could utter the word "ah", Yiming was stunned by the fall, staring at the tofu brains gathered in small pieces in front of him, he got up alone, and felt the pain only when he noticed the pain in his palm.
Hou Hao took a step faster than Xiao Zhuo, saw the child's palm was bleeding a lot, walked up to Xiaotian with a coldness, "Apologize."
There was a lot of movement, and Zhang's mother also ran over to comfort Yiming. The child just threw himself in his father's arms and looked at the tofu nao on the ground without saying a word. His eyes were wet and he didn't move, with tears in his eyes, looking pitiful.
"Does your leg hurt?"
The child shook his head.
The baby was bleeding from the fall, Grandma Xiaotian hurriedly stopped the man, "Hey, the child is still young and ignorant, so don't worry about it."
Xiaotian hid behind his grandma and stared at Yiming, sticking out his tongue complacently, as if saying: It deserves it!Yiming didn't cry when he saw his eyes were red.
"Children are not a reason not to bear the consequences, you, apologize."
A few old ladies also came out to watch the movement, and they all chattered to help Grandma Xiaotian, "It's not common for adults to care about children like this."
Someone responded, Grandma Xiaotian was more imposing, touched her face and said to Xiao Zhuo: "The child is young and ignorant..."
"My mother saw that this kid took the initiative to smash my son. The child is so small, Yiming is two years younger than him! Why don't you say let my brother!"
"He's not my younger brother, but I have a mother!" Xiaotian feared that the world would not be chaotic.
This sentence ignited the trio, and Zhang's mother waved her arm, "The neighborhood has been in the neighborhood for so many years, Grandma Xiaotian, how did you teach your grandson to speak!"
The old man blushed and shouted: "Why, isn't it true!"
I don't know where Yiming got the courage, he rushed out of his father's arms with red eyes, rushed up to push Xiaotian, "You lie, you liar! You villain!"
Xiao Zhuo gasped, the height difference between the two children was two heads, Yiming must have been beaten, and sure enough, he was immediately pushed down by Xiaotian, but fortunately Hou Hao caught it and did not fall to the ground.
Hou Hao raised his hand, Xiao Zhuo thought he was going to make a move, would it be worth it?He hurriedly stopped him, but he didn't know that the other party was picking up the child by his neck.
That feeling was like hanging himself, Xiaotian's face flushed immediately and he had difficulty breathing, the strength of the man's hand control was not good, but it was more than enough to make him sad, Grandma Xiaotian yelled and hit Hou Hao.
"Apologize!"
Xiaotian was finally scared, and nodded while crying, Hou Hao calmed down after slapping him, "Apologize."
"Yes... I'm sorry..." Xiaotian finished speaking tremblingly, and the door of the hiding room could not be closed.
Grandma Xiaotian saw that the two big men hated her, she sat on the ground and cried loudly: "Oh my god, Lao Xiao's family gave birth to a good son who bullied us!"
"You judge me and bully me as an old lady, what a little genius, my wife, take me away, you can't live it!"
Yiming had never seen such a scene before. He hugged Xiao Zhuo's leg and held him tight. Hou Hao picked him up expressionlessly, swept the child's hand and his heart twitched violently, and kissed him, "Go home." No matter Xiao Zhuo Permitted or not, dragging people upstairs.
And Xiao Zhuo didn't struggle until the red seal was squeezed out.
What Xiaotian said irritated him, Xiao Zhuo took out medical alcohol and washed Yiming, his hands were even trembling slightly without any rules.
Yiming held back his tears and didn't cry, "Father."
"Do they say that so often that you don't play with them?"
"Well, I don't have a mother or a father, and I don't look like you."
It's not that Yiming is introverted and doesn't like to take the initiative to find children to play with, it's that they don't regard Yiming as a partner at all!
His face was too ugly, Hou Hao came over to take over the work in hand, and supported him with one hand, "You go out first, I'll do it."
In a daze, he recalled all the broken words he heard in the past few years. He thought he took good care of his son, but he never asked who he played with. He was always alone.
What's the use of persisting, Xiao Zhuo covered his face and said weakly: "Move to your house, I..."
The landline rang, and after a glance, it hadn't rang for many years. After hesitating, he answered, "Hello."
"Excuse me, are you Xiao Zhuo?"
"Yes, I am."
……
Hou Hao wiped the wound carefully, and his movements were gentle, "Cry if you want to cry, uncle don't
