his robbery

Chapter 112 Their lives

When Andre heard that the police had dispersed the people who came to ask for letters, he froze in place, but did not express his opinion.He was tall and strong, but not of a brave nature.Staring blankly at Huo Xiangzhen for a moment, he suddenly realized as if he had just woken up from a dream, and quickly said: "It's okay, it doesn't matter, don't be angry."

He was afraid that Huo Xiangzhen would lose his temper because of this, so he wanted to comfort him incoherently.However, to his surprise, Huo Xiangzhen was very calm this time.Sitting on the sofa, he raised his chin at the biscuit cone on the coffee table: "Just count the number and see how many days it will take."

Andre picked up the biscuit cone, walked around the coffee table and sat beside him.Turning sideways, he poured out the banknotes and ocean in the tube, without counting them, he just said, "Master, there are a lot."

Huo Xiangzhen picked up the teapot and filled the teacup on his own: "Is it enough for the New Year?"

Andre raised his head, blinked his blue eyes and muttered to settle accounts, and finally turned to Huo Xiangzhen and nodded repeatedly: "Enough!"

Huo Xiangzhen took a sip of hot tea, her lips were flushed red: "Okay, let's celebrate the New Year first, and we'll talk about it after the New Year."

Andre stared at his silhouette, eagerly watching his words and expressions.And Huo Xiangzhen put down the teacup and raised his head, looked ahead and asked in a low voice: "What are you looking at?"

Andre withdrew his gaze embarrassingly, and said softly but firmly, "Master, it will be fine."

Although they are not very free and are under surveillance when they go in and out, they have a strong house to settle down after all, and there is a bustling city outside the house.Two people, there is always a way to survive.

Huo Xiangzhen smiled, put his arms around his shoulders and hugged him again, treating him like a little cat and dog brother.

Since the business of selling calligraphy really couldn't be done, Huo Xiangzhen temporarily put his mind to it.Standing up by Andre's shoulder, he said, "Come on, now there is sun outside, let's go for a walk."

Andre immediately stood up and followed him.The two lifted the curtain and left the small building, and Andre asked, "Marshal, do you want to wrestle?"

As Huo Xiangzhen walked forward quickly, he raised his hand and fastened the buttons of his coat.In the end, he lowered his head and tightened his waist belt, and he smiled secretly, with a somewhat sly naughty look on his face: "Go to the garage and see, if there is gasoline, I will take you out for a drive."

After all, Andre is young and still has a bit of childishness. Hearing this, he immediately regained his energy: "Do you drive a car?"

Huo Xiangzhen took out another pair of leather gloves from his coat pocket: "Nonsense!"

When the leather gloves were about to be put on, Huo Xiangzhen glanced sideways suddenly, and found that Andre was happily striding away with his arms open, the chilblains on his hands were completely exposed to the cold wind.Withdrawing his gaze and looking straight ahead, Huo Xiangzhen handed him the gloves: "Put it on!"

Andre subconsciously took the glove, and after taking it, he realized something was wrong, and wanted to put the glove into Huo Xiangzhen's hand again: "No, I don't want it."

Huo Xiangzhen kept walking, and directly raised his hand to hold Andre's wrist, letting him feel the temperature of his palm: "I don't need it."

Andre bowed his head with a smile, and began to put on his gloves.He hates war, he loves peace.He became more and more convinced that he and the commander-in-chief "will be fine" in the future.They are not very lonely and not very dangerous together, they just want to find a meal, it should not be difficult.

There was only one Lincoln left in the garage, and it was full of gas.Huo Xiangzhen can drive a car, but she has never had the opportunity to drive a car herself, and her skills are very unfamiliar.After opening the door and sitting in the driver's seat of the car, he held the steering wheel and took a deep breath, then turned to look at Andre in the passenger seat: "Are you afraid? I'm really going to drive!"

Andre pursed his lips and shook his head with a smile, thinking that Huo Xiangzhen was omnipotent and amazing.Seeing that he was sitting securely, Huo Xiangzhen stretched out his hand and twisted the car key, and started the car slowly.Slowly out of the gate of the garage, he drove forward along the dedicated driveway.The gate of Huo Mansion still has the old threshold, and cars have to go through the side door if they want to get in and out.When the car really reached the side door, the police guarding the door immediately blocked the road nervously.

Huo Xiangzhen stepped on the brake, opened the car window and stretched out her head: "Can't I go out?"

Logically speaking, he can go out, but for the police, it is best for him to stay at home honestly and not go anywhere.After looking at each other in dismay, a police officer stepped forward and asked kindly, "Jing Shuai, where are you going?"

It's pointless to show prestige to the police, so Huo Xiangzhen was also very kind: "Walk around casually, is that okay?"

The police officer smiled and nodded: "Yes, of course." Then he took a step back and stretched out his hand: "Please be handsome."

The police blocking the way also retreated to both sides, allowing Huo Xiangzhen's car to pass through the side door slowly.

The city of Beiping is only so big, if you take a detailed stroll, it will be very exciting; if you drive a car to see the flowers, you will end up wandering inadvertently.Huo Xiangzhen was in good spirits, and wanted to go far away in one go, but before he reached the city gate, he was forced to stop the car by a whole team of policemen.The policemen did not know how long they had been following him. When they appeared, they seemed to have fallen from the sky, their noses and faces swollen from the cold, but their attitudes were very good. Please Jing Shuai not to go further.

Huo Xiangzhen turned the car around without saying a word, and set off on the way home.This trip gave him a clear idea, and he had to go to prison to understand that he couldn't just stay at home in a daze.Having said that, in the end, in Beiping, he was forced to go to Nanjing. After all, Beiping City was familiar to him. When it really came to an emergency, he would not be blinded when he went out.

On the way, he stopped the car and asked Andre to go down and buy an extremely long candied haws.Andre's blue eyes occasionally reveal a touch of sad childishness, and his soul seems to stay in the year when his family was ruined.Huo Xiangzhen couldn't see him like this the most, he would remind Huo Xiangzhen of Bai Mani when he was a boy.The young Bai Mani is the standard younger brother in his heart.

Andre concentrated on eating the candied haws with a look of contentment, which made Huo Xiangzhen feel a little better.When I drove the car home, half of the candied haws were left.Andre asked him shyly, "Marshal, eat?"

After asking, he himself blushed, and felt that his kindness was a little too much to show.Huo Xiangzhen got out of the car and locked the door, his movements were sharp and sharp: "You eat it, I don't like to eat this stuff."

The dinner was a banquet sent by the staff from the restaurant, it was steaming hot and could be called sumptuous.Huo Xiangzhen and Andre were gluttonous relatives, and with the strength of the two of them, they managed to eat a large table of mess.The room was cold, and the two of them washed up and went to bed early, taking advantage of the heat from eating.As usual, Huo Xiangzhen was half lying and half sitting by the head of the bed, flipping through old books in his hands, but his heart was not in the book.As if resigned to his fate, he began to learn to consider some of the most subtle and specific problems in life.Acknowledging fate, but not [-]% acceptance. For example, Mr. Tong's suggestion, he would never adopt it.

He thought that if it hadn't been for the Northern Expedition of the Nanjing government, he would not have fallen into this situation.The Nanjing government took away its own land and army, and put itself under house arrest as a criminal. Now it is like a great benefactor, waiting for itself to reach out and beg for a monthly living allowance of [-] yuan.This, he cannot stand.

After thinking about making a living for a long time, he couldn't figure out what to do.Andre had fallen asleep, and he was very disciplined when he woke up, but he showed his true colors after falling asleep.With his head arched and his feet stretched out, he curled up and snuggled up beside Huo Xiangzhen, like a huge stove cat, a big soft and furry mass.Huo Xiangzhen was his warm stove, he slept peacefully without even snoring.

Huo Xiangzhen turned back and tucked the book back under the pillow, while leaning over and sniffing.Finally, he turned off the light and lay down. He turned his back to Andre and cursed in his heart: "As soon as the weather warms up, let him roll to sleep in the next room. This stinky old man rubbed me all over!"

The closer to Nian Gen, the colder the weather, so Andre took root on Huo Xiangzhen's big bed and slept very soundly.During the day, both of them had nothing to do. Huo Xiangzhen wanted to hang up the lanterns and colored balls that the adjutants had bought in advance, but after trying to do it for a long time, he found that many people had to work together to complete this task. Andre, exhaustion is futile.

He returned without success and went back to his study to study.Andre went over the wall and entered the garden, and found that the scorched earth was covered with layers of white snow, and there were actually several red plum trees blooming after the catastrophe.

Andre broke off a few branches and put them in a vase, and sent them to the study for Huo Xiangzhen to see.Huo Xiangzhen had never been interested in flowers and plants, and Andre even put the vase on the desk, and he just glanced at it casually.

Andre was a little embarrassed, walked around the desk and walked to him: "It's beautiful."

Huo Xiangzhen didn't see how beautiful Hongmei was, but after letting Andre go out and move a chair back, he decided to teach Andre how to write a few words in a serious manner.

Andre is dedicated to learning, but the hand holding the pen is shaking all the time, and the strokes he writes are all wavy lines.Huo Xiangzhen stood behind him, holding his hand and writing slowly.Turning his head after writing a word, he saw Andre frowning his eyebrows and pursing his lips, his blue eyes wide open, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you scared?"

Andre looked up at Huo Xiangzhen, his voice trembling: "The pen is too soft, the hair is too soft."

Huo Xiangzhen supported the desk with one hand, and continued to hold his hand to write with the other: "Idiot!"

From this day on, Huo Xiangzhen began to seriously become a teacher, and would give Andre a class in the morning and afternoon.One taught, one learned, and it was the 29th of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye.

Huo Xiangzhen gave Andre the winter vacation, and Andre ran to the kitchen after dinner and boiled hot water in a large kettle.The Spring Festival is a big festival. You should take a bath and change your clothes to celebrate the festival cleanly.The big pool downstairs is not usable, but there is a bathtub upstairs.He found a shoulder pole and ran back into the building with a big steaming bucket.The water is very hot, and it is still hot even after drying it outside.The hot water in the vat was poured into the bathtub, and a cloud of warm mist suddenly rose.Huo Xiangzhen stood aside, bent down and reached out to test the temperature of the water, then smiled: "Okay."

Huo Xiangzhen undressed and took it into the bathtub, and Andrei also moved a small bench and sat aside.There was a bathtub on one side of his body, and a large bucket of hot water on the other. The water vapor from both sides warmed him, making him squint his eyes comfortably.Huo Xiangzhen let out a long sigh the moment he sat in the hot water, and said "comfortable" to himself.Andre heard it clearly, and subconsciously repeated: "Comfortable?"

Huo Xiangzhen nodded and smiled: "It's comfortable."

Andre looked up at him and saw that he was smiling with his eyelids down, his face was wet, his eyebrows were very dark, and his eyelashes were long.Under the light of the electric light, water droplets dotted his shoulders and chest, and his skin revealed a red-gold luster, which reminded Andre of a god—not a pale and suffering god, but a mighty, pagan one. god.

Andre calmly continued to squint his eyes to be lazy, his body was warm and his heart was very peaceful.

After Huo Xiangzhen took a bath, Andre added half a bucket of hot water into the bathtub, then took off his clothes and stepped in.He knew what was wrong with him, even though he didn't think it was wrong at all.The towel was thickly soaped, he scrubbed himself several times, and finally rinsed himself with the remaining half bucket of hot water.Wrapped in Huo Xiangzhen's nightgown, he came out of the bathroom, and he jumped onto the big bed shivering.Throwing off the quilt and rolling in, he rolled directly into Huo Xiangzhen's arms in a daze.And Huo Xiangzhen embraced him, lowered his head to his neck and took a deep breath.Finally raised his head and let go, he patted Andre on the back: "This taste is pretty much the same!"

Andre blushed, pulled off the front of his nightgown, lowered his head and sniffed.Soap is a good soap, and he also feels that he is now covered with fragrance.

After turning off the lights at night, Huo Xiangzhen didn't turn over to sleep with her back to him.And he smugly curled up into a ball, and after falling asleep, he turned into a stove cat again, and hunched over Huo Xiangzhen's armpit.

On the early morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, Andre got up early, went out to a nearby restaurant, and bought two hundred raw dumplings.Dumplings are frozen like little rocks and can be boiled and eaten at any time.Huo Xiangzhen was not idle either, moving fireworks out of the empty room at the adjutant's office.The fireworks were brought back from the gun factory a month ago, and every year the adjutants would set off fireworks, and he thought this year would be no exception.Unexpectedly, a sudden change happened later, the fireworks were still there, but the people who set off the fireworks went their separate ways.

The fireworks were very heavy, and the adjutant's office was quite a distance from the small building at the back. Huo Xiangzhen looked at the room full of fireworks boxes, almost feeling anxious.He has strength, but he is clumsy when he works, and his strength does not make sense.At the same time, Andre also started working in the kitchen, cutting carrots with a large kitchen knife to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner at night.Just after cutting out a mountain-like pile of diced carrots, a policeman walked in with his head shrugged: "Mr. An, what are you busy with?"

The policeman is the gatekeeper and has no right to enter the house without authorization, so Andre looked at him vigilantly and did not speak.

The policeman smiled, seeing that he was a Westerner, so he spoke very slowly and clearly: "There is a visitor from the east gate, surnamed Ma, and he wants to see you. If it is convenient for you, come with me?"

Andre put down the kitchen knife, and followed the police away inexplicably, feeling a little scared, because he didn't want to see any outsiders at the moment.

When he reached the small door on the east side, he was relieved when he saw the visitor outside - Ma Congrong!

Ma Congrong smiled when he saw him, and then waved to him again and again: "My lord, my lord, my lord, come here!"

Andre trotted over involuntarily. Although he knew that the commander-in-chief and the secretary-general had fallen out, he was still a little happy in his heart: "Miao Chang, happy Chinese New Year."

Ma Congrong was dressed in a suit, with a fox fur collar trimmed into his coat, and the collar was all around, protruding an extremely clean head.Grabbing Andre's hand, he took out a red envelope from his coat pocket, and stuffed it into the other's hand involuntarily: "My lord, thank you for your hard work."

Andre clutched the red envelope, feeling a little dazed, not knowing whether he should take it or not.And Ma Congrong asked: "How is the uncle?"

Andre's tongue was a little messy: "The commander... is moving fireworks and firecrackers."

Ma Congrong knew that his words were not expressive, so he asked again, "How is your food?"

Andre nodded quickly: "It's full."

Ma Congrong's heart turned over - so he was a "full eater"?

Staring at Andre's blue eyes, he continued to ask: "What are you wearing?"

Andre poked his head at him ignorantly: "Clothes?" Then he nodded: "Yes. There are a lot of clothes."

Ma Congrong sighed, and the words "enough to eat" were still ringing in his mind.

Holding Andre's hand, Ma Congrong asked for a long time, and finally gave him a roll of banknotes. Ma Congrong whispered: "You keep it yourself, and weigh the flowers yourself when it's time. Tell the uncle, do you hear me?"

Andre replied seriously: "Yes."

Ma Congrong turned around and walked to his car, opened the door and leaned in, and took out a small square bamboo strip box.The box was also sent to Andre, and he said again: "This is shrimp, you can eat it after cooking. Don't say it was sent by me, but you bought it yourself. He doesn't understand. When you say it, he will eat it." I can believe it. Remember, don’t talk about it, do you hear me?”

Andre picked up the box, thinking that the secretary-general is actually very good, but the commander-in-chief insisted on ignoring him, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Ma Congrong took out a small note from his arms and stuffed it into Andre's trouser pocket: "My phone number is from Tianjin on the top and Beijing on the bottom. If you need anything, please call me. Don't let me know." Uncle is stubborn by himself, do you hear me?"

Andre nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice.When Ma Congrong left, he went back to the kitchen with a box of shrimps in his arms.

Andrei has been busy all day, preparing a messy table of Russian dishes.The prawns were also disposed of by him, and they were cooked in a pot with celery and onions.In the evening, Huo Xiangzhen went into the restaurant and sat down, looking at Andre's New Year's Eve dinner, dumbfounded.Picking up chopsticks and tasting, every dish is sour and sweet.Andre looked at him terrified, not only worried about the taste of the food, but also worried about the prawns.

Huo Xiangzhen really couldn't say "good", but he was so hungry that he ate a lot of soup and water.Finally picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth, he got up with a box of matches: "Go, let's set off the fireworks!"

Huo Xiangzhen lit the fireworks.Bolides rushed into the sky one after another, bursting into red peonies and green peonies.The people who watched the fireworks with Huo Xiangzhen and Andre, in addition to the policemen guarding the gate, were Ma Congrong on the back street of Fufu.

Ma Congrong stood beside the car, his nose was red from the cold, his eyelids were red, and his earlobes were red.I didn't expect that there would be fireworks to watch this year, but it's a pity that I don't have grandpa by my side.

When the fireworks ended, no one stretched out a hand from the cloak and silently handed him a red envelope.

He missed the uncle very much, and he thought that as long as he entered the door, he would be able to restore the old man's life again.What is "eat enough"?Can the uncle still not have enough to eat?

He is very sorry.Last summer, I shouldn't have played tricks on the uncle, let him go hungry for one day, and leave on his stomach the next day.It shouldn't be tit for tat against the uncle, but it hurt the uncle's heart.In detail, he remembered all the benefits of Huo Xiangzhen, and the more he thought about it, the better, so good that he would burn all inside.I thought about it, I thought about it, I almost wanted to kill him.

Since he left the Huo Mansion, he hasn't lived a single day of happiness. Although he still eats well and dresses well, his heart is burning and empty. In his dreams, he is full of uncles, and uncles with naked buttocks.

Some people set off fireworks, some people watch fireworks.The police guarding the main entrance of Huo's Mansion all stood on the street, their heads raised and their eyes wide open.Just when they were pointing and laughing, a group of cars slowly stopped beside them.When the car door opened, Gu Chengxi bent down.

With Gu Chengxi's current status, he can enter and leave the Huo Mansion at will, and the policemen can only stand at attention and salute.But Gu Chengxi didn't say a word.With a small group of guards behind him, he carried a large gift box, crossed the threshold lightly, and went inside.
