There was white mist on the indoor windows, and a light swipe of the hand could leave a trace of water stains.
Jian Yao crawled out of bed, Huo Yan had already gone to school, and there were only him and Jian Anzhi at home.
Jian Yao stood in front of the window, looking at the rain-like snow outside, and felt that the scenery in front of him was a little cute, but soon Jian Yao sneezed.
After returning home yesterday with a low fever, Jian Anzhi asked him for a day's sick leave.
After a night's rest, Jian Yao no longer felt headaches, but he got up too early, the sky was just dawn, the hour hand just pointed to six o'clock, and it was not time for breakfast, so Jian Yao went downstairs to get a cup of hot water .
Jian Yao returned to the room with the water glass in his hand, sat there for a while and then turned on the computer.
This computer is rarely turned on. After all, Jian Yao doesn't like to play online games. Searching for information and watching videos can be perfectly replaced by a mobile phone, so the computer has become a decoration in the room, and only Huo Yan occasionally uses it.
After turning on the computer, Jian Yao boarded his penguin, and saw some news.
Those who sent him messages were all friends of the "Original Owner". These friends were still in the capital. Before the "Original Owner" left, they couldn't understand. After all, there were only those who wanted to go to the capital to go to school. It was almost impossible to see people who were born and bred in the capital leaving. The capital went to a small county to study.
Although they didn't understand, the friends still kept in touch with Jian Yao, waiting for Jian Yao to go back to her third year of high school.
Jian Yao's household registration is in the capital, so he can study in another place, but he cannot take the college entrance examination in another place.
In her third year of high school, Jian Yao had to go back to the capital.
"Are you coming back this year for Chinese New Year?"
Jian Yao replied: "I want to come back."
I must go back to the capital during the Chinese New Year. The two elderly people in my family are getting old, and there is no airport in Anyang County. I have to fly to the provincial capital first, then transfer to the nearest city by car, and then transfer to the bus after arriving in the city. It is really troublesome.
Compared with two old people, Jian Yao and Jian Anzhi are safer to move.
The friend was obviously playing with his mobile phone secretly in class. As soon as Jian Yao's message was sent, he immediately replied: "Okay, my brothers will clean up the dust for you at that time. I am in physical education class, and recently opened a new one next to our school. There are many new games in the VR experience hall, let's go together when you come back."
Jian Yao chatted with the other party a few more words.
The "Original Owner" had a not-so-small circle of friends before. There were men and women, all of whom were born and bred like him. The family did not say how rich they were, but the conditions were not bad. In the county seat, a few went to international schools, and two went abroad after high school.
When recalling the "past", Jian Yao realized that what was ordinary in the eyes of the "original owner" and his friends was considered an excellent family environment for him.
Including so many cool brand-name sneakers in the shoe cabinet, the "original owner" went to buy them with his friends.
Originally, the best friends of the "Original Owner" were one woman and three men.
The girl's surname is Zheng, and the original owner is a neighbor upstairs and downstairs, and they have played together since childhood.
The other three are friends who have been dating since kindergarten. They live not far from each other.
The rest are people who have a good relationship, but are far from being best friends.
Sometimes they also call Jian Yao, although they don't contact every day, but when they have time, they will play videos together, either complaining about trivial matters in life, or chatting about Jian Yao's recent situation.
Jian Yao would also talk to them about his own life, so although these four good friends had never met the real Huo Yan, they also knew that Jian Yao had made a new friend who was one year older than them. Lived in Jian Yao's house.
The one who reacted the most was Yang Zijie. Right after Jian Yao finished speaking, he said angrily: "We were worried that going to the county town with you would not make a good life, but in the end not only did we live well, but we also made new friends."
Zheng Ling: "Why do you seem to be jealous? Jian Yao will definitely make friends if he changes schools?"
Yang Zijie said stubbornly: "I'm jealous? I'm jealous. When Jian Yao comes back during the Chinese New Year, I'll kick his ass to death."
Later they also knew that Huo Yan was the eldest master of the Zhou Group, so their curiosity towards Huo Yan became more intense.
Zheng Ling even told Jian Yao to treat Huo Yan better when she called Jian Yao, and asked Jian Yao if she wanted to take Huo Yan to see a psychiatrist—she read too many comments on the Internet, and she felt the same way. occupied the high ground.
But this really made Jian Yao breathe a sigh of relief, he didn't want these "friends" to hate Huo Yan.
Because he doesn't know whether the "original owner" and him will switch back on a certain day. If the "original owner" doesn't like Huo Yan, and the "original owner"'s friends also hate Huo Yan, then after he leaves, he will leave Huo Yan's is still a world full of malice.
He can't break up with these "friends" for Huo Yan, because these friends are not his, but the original owner's.
But he can't wrong Huo Yan because of these "friends", because for himself, only Huo Yan is his friend.
So his only way is to make them get along well.
Fortunately, under his foreshadowing, even if those "friends" in the capital have never met Huo Yan, they all think that Huo Yan will not be a bad person.
The main reason is that it's okay to separate the two places, but Huo Yan will definitely go back to the capital with him during the Chinese New Year. When he returns to the capital, he will definitely not be able to avoid Yang Zijie and the others.
If Huo Yan stayed, he would face an empty house without friends or relatives.
Jian Yao himself doesn't know how many years he has lived alone, but he can accept it on himself. After all, it sounds miserable to be alone, but in fact that is the case. Watch a video on your phone for a while, and the day will pass.
Especially now that there are takeaways, unlike in the past when many shops were closed during the Chinese New Year, it was difficult to buy food.
But Jian Yao can accept it, but he can't accept that Huo Yan has to spend such a new year.
Jian Yao looked at the computer screen for a while, but his friend didn't reply any more messages, so he went to the kitchen to make breakfast first.
He has been really lazy recently, because Huo Yan got up earlier than him, so Huo Yan is almost making breakfast during the recent period, and he is only responsible for eating.
The toast at home was gone, so Jian Yao took dried noodles, cooked two bowls of noodles in clear soup, put a poached egg on top, and knocked on the door of the master bedroom after cooking.
"Why did you wake up so early?" Jian Anzhi yawned and opened the door.
Jian Yao: "Mom, I've made breakfast, come down and eat quickly, I just have something to tell you."
Jian Anzhi wiped his face, wiped back the broken hair on his forehead, and said without energy: "What's the matter? Let's talk about it now, don't play tricks on your mother and me."
"Can you bring Huo Yan back to celebrate the New Year?" Jian Yao carefully looked at Jian Anzhi's face, lest Jian Anzhi would be unhappy, "Otherwise he will have to spend this year alone."
Jian Anzhi: "What are you talking about? You need to worry about this matter? Don't worry about it, I have already arranged it."
"I'll wash first, you eat first."
There is a bathroom in Jian Anzhi's room, so there is no need to go to the first floor, Jian Yao went downstairs by himself.
Jian Anzhi was very fast. It seemed that she only brushed her teeth but didn't wash her face. She sat across from Jian Yao and finished eating the candied poached eggs before she said: "I have discussed with your grandparents, Huo Yan will come with us this year. Go back for the New Year."
"Are you relieved now?"
Jian Yao raised his head and showed a very cute smile at Jian Anzhi.
Because Jian Yao followed his mother's surname, the names of the two elders changed a lot, sometimes they were grandpa and grandma, sometimes they were grandma and grandpa.
In short, no matter how you shout, the two old people will respond.
Not long after breakfast, Second Aunt Huo came again.
This time, not only Second Aunt Huo came, but Aunt Huo also came. They carried bamboo baskets, two baskets of vegetables and homemade pickles, as if they were leaving Jane's family as relatives.
Jian Anzhi treated them very well and even let them sit at home.
Aunt Huo and Aunt Huo didn't know where to stay since they entered Jian Yao's house.
Like thieves, the two walked to the living room on tiptoe. Jian Anzhi told them not to use slippers, but just mopping the floor if they got dirty, but Aunt Huo and Aunt Huo didn't want to. Not daring to sit on the sofa, Jian Anzhi pushed them down one by one.
Second Aunt Huo raised her head to look at the decoration of Jian's house, her eyes were not so much envious as shocked.
She got married when she was 15 and less than 16 years old. Before she left home, she lived in the Huo family's old house next to Jian Yao's house. After she married in the village, the conditions of the house were not as good as the Huo family's. The old bachelor was willing to spend money to marry a wife. But after marrying a daughter-in-law, there is really not a penny.
Although people can't starve to death by guarding the fields, farming is not so easy. You don't have to sow the seeds to get a harvest.
Fertilization and fertilization, and pest control are all labor-intensive. Ergu Huo has grown so big that she has never left Anyang County.
The longest road she walked was from the village to the county. In order to save money on the bus, she got up at four o'clock in the past few days, packed her things, and set off to walk over. It costs two yuan to take the bus to the city.
Before, she would not come to the city to sell vegetables, but sold them to the villagers at a low price. There were also some elderly people left behind in the village who rented out the land, and spent some money to buy vegetables after they stopped farming.
Or go sell vegetables in the surrounding towns.
The best houses she has ever seen are the buildings in the county, so high that even looking up makes her feel dizzy.
Those buildings were already beyond her reach, and she didn't know if she would have the chance to move to the county in this life.
But the moment she stepped into Jian Yao's house, she realized that there are houses in this world that are more beautiful than buildings. The fence at the entrance is covered with vines. Although it's winter, they haven't completely withered. vibrant.
Entering Jian Yao's house, whether it's the furniture or the floor pattern, it's like a house in a TV drama.
She sat awkwardly on the sofa, but her eyes kept looking at the patterns on the cabinet and the decorations on the coffee table in front of her.
Aunt Huo looks a bit more outgoing than the second aunt, and she also dresses more decently than the second aunt. The second aunt wears white cotton clothes, and the aunt wears a wine-red down jacket. Her hair is tied tightly. , The roots of the hair are tearing at the scalp.
But her face looked older than the second aunt.
Aunt Huo has no flesh on her face and her cheekbones are high, so she looks a bit mean. Her voice is also very loud. Not long after she came in, she said to Jian Anzhi: "We don't have any good things here. I brought you some pickles and vegetables. The stewed vegetables are all made by myself, I wear gloves, it is clean!"
Jian Anzhi had already put away her things, and she smiled at Aunt Huo: "Thank you."
Aunt Huo's eyes gradually turned red, and she stood up suddenly, Jian Anzhi and Jian Yao couldn't react, Aunt Huo made a "bang", her knees touched the ground, and she knelt down for Jian Anzhi.
This frightened Jian Anzhi so much that his heart was torn apart. Their family didn't even go to temples, they didn't worship Buddha, and they didn't have the habit of kneeling and kowtowing to their elders during festivals. So after so many years when others were kneeling by others, Jian Anzhi himself I never knelt.
She was so frightened that she couldn't react for a moment, and she froze for two seconds, then hurriedly pulled up Aunt Huo, and said incoherently, "What are you doing? Get up, get up!"
Aunt Huo still had that loud voice, with a local accent: "Erya and I have had a bad time these years, and we have never seen Xiao Yan. I don't know how the child lives. His father is not a thing, mom They are not good people either, logically speaking, they are unreliable couples, we two nuns should take care of them anyway."
"But we haven't been around Huo Gan's house in these years, so we don't know about it."
"It's fine if you don't know. We haven't brought that child up, and we haven't given him a bite to eat, so we shouldn't take advantage of him."
As Aunt Huo spoke, tears came down: "That child has a conscience and still thinks about us. His elder sister and second sister have enjoyed his blessing."
"But how much money does he have in his family? You must be kind enough to raise him and give him money back."
Aunt Huo was talking, her body fell to the ground again, as if she wanted to hit Jian Anzhi again.
Jian Anzhi was confused by what was said and couldn't quite understand it.
"We took the money, and we will admit it." Aunt Huo wiped her eyes with her sleeve, "We have no backbone, but we admit it, and we will pay back the money."
Aunt Huo: "We brought the IOU."
She searched in her pocket, found two pieces of paper, and handed the two IOUs to Jian Anzhi very formally.
Jian Anzhi looked at the IOU handed to him, still in a daze.
She is not like Jian Yao. Jian Yao knew that the Zhou family had given Huo Yan a sum of money, but she never asked about it. Jian Anzhi rarely asked Huo Yan about these things. In her opinion, Huo Yan was not her own son after all. She helped him, not because he regarded her as his own mother.
So there are some things she shouldn't ask.
Jian Anzhi has her own thoughts, but she never told Jian Yao.
In the beginning, I helped Huo Yan because I saw that Huo Yan was a nice person with good conduct.
Later, he helped Huo Yan because Huo Yan had a good relationship with Jian Yao on the premise of his character, and Huo Yan's grades were also good.
Moreover, Huo Yan doesn't need much money, he himself will work during winter and summer vacations, and what she spends money on is just eating and so on.
Anyway, the house is so big, it doesn't matter if there are more than one person.
If Huo Yan achieves something in the future, then Jian Yao will also benefit. If Huo Yan does not achieve anything in the future, then she will not lose much.
Especially since Huo Yan is already seventeen, she will be an adult soon, and she has student loans for college, so she doesn't need to pay much.
Jian Anzhi looked at the woman kneeling on the ground, she might not beat her much, but the two seemed to be of two generations.
So she sighed and said softly: "You guys change this IOU and change it to Xiao Yan's name. I really didn't give the money to you. If I gave it, I have no reason to deny it."
"Xiao Yan has been working part-time during the winter and summer vacations these years, and he usually does part-time jobs when he has time. He should have savings in his hand." Jian Anzhi turned around and shouted, "Xiao Yao! Is the tea ready?!"
Jian Yao immediately went to the kitchen to get a teacup.
Aunt Huo still doesn't believe it, how much money can a child earn as a winter and summer job?Without diplomas and skills, the jobs that can be found are not money-making jobs. Huo Yan can have thousands of Thaksin in his hand, but tens of thousands?This is not what Huo Yan can earn.
Aunt Huo and Aunt Huo killed each other and wanted to give the IOU to Jian Anzhi, and Jian Anzhi would not leave unless they accepted it.
Jian Anzhi also has time to spend time with them: "That's okay, if you don't leave, you won't leave, Xiao Yao, go and clean up the guest room, and then go buy some drinks when you come back. Your mother, I will show you a hand at noon."
"No, no, no." Second Aunt Huo lost her composure, and she quickly said, "We don't live here with you, and you don't cook, we're just here to deliver the IOUs, and we'll leave after delivering them."
Aunt Huo pursed her lips tightly, as if she wanted to follow through to the end what she just said, but she still couldn't help but look at Jian Anzhi's face.
Jian Anzhi took the opportunity to let them sit down again, and the three of them sat in the living room and chatted.
As parents, children are the ones who talk the most. When Aunt Huo and Aunt Huo mentioned their daughters, the expressions on their faces were finally no longer so reserved. They would proudly mention their daughter's grades to Jian Anzhi.
"Her grades have been good since she was a child, and the family can't give her anything. I'm a primary school student. I've been worried that I'll drag the baby down. Fortunately, the baby can do it by himself."
"Xiao Yan's child is also like that, his parents are like him, and his grades are not bad?"
"If parents don't live up to expectations, their children will be more sensible than others." Aunt Huo sighed.
Jian Anzhi quickly got involved in their conversation, and in the end Aunt Huo and Aunt Huo stayed at Jian's house for lunch.
It's just that the people who cook have changed from Jian Anzhi who just revealed his skills to Aunt Huo and Second Aunt.
They didn't need to buy vegetables either. After all, they didn't come empty-handed this time. They brought fresh greenhouse vegetables in addition to pickled vegetables. They didn't have much land, so they couldn't make much money selling fresh vegetables.
There are only so many, no matter how high the seller is, he can't get more vegetables.
So when Huo Yan opened the door, what he saw was a lively and warm scene.
Jian Yao sat on the sofa and watched TV with Second Aunt Huo, while Aunt Huo and Jian Anzhi were busy in the kitchen.
It's not that Second Aunt Huo wants to be lazy, but that Aunt Huo doesn't like her craftsmanship.
The smell of food permeates the house, and the temperature inside is moderately hot and cold.
Huo Yan took off his down jacket, Jian Yao had already stood up and walked towards him.
"Second Aunt." Huo Yan first greeted the Second Aunt who also stood up and smiled at him, then rubbed Jian Yao's hair, leaned over slightly, and whispered in Jian Yao's ear, "What time are they coming?" of?"
Jian Yao: "This morning, we will arrive before seven o'clock."
"Why are you back?" Jian Yao asked strangely, "Aren't you going to class?"
Huo Yan said helplessly: "You forgot? Today is the sports meeting."
Jian Yao: "...I really forgot."
Fortunately, he didn't apply for the project, otherwise it would be troublesome to ask for leave temporarily.
Huo Yan: "You don't have to go in the afternoon, my project is over in the morning."
Jian Yao: "Then what place did you get?"
Huo Yan smiled and pinched the tip of Jian Yao's nose: "Tell me, what number will I get?"
Jian Yao moaned and said, "No. [-] is No. [-]. Fortunately, we are not in the same grade, otherwise we might not be the No. [-]."
Although Huo Yan's grades are very good, Jian Yao feels that if he compares his test scores, he will not be worse than Huo Yan - but since he is the one who cheated, he can't say this, otherwise he will feel shameless.
After Huo Yan changed his shoes, he went to the living room with Jian Yao. They were not interested in TV programs, so they talked with Second Aunt Huo.
Second Aunt Huo first thanked Huo Yan, then praised Jian Yao, and then talked about her daughter.
Jian Yao wasn't impatient either, and chatted with her.
Second Aunt Huo is probably the proudest daughter in her life. She was "sold" by her parents when she was young. Since then, she has no parents, no younger brother, and follows an old bachelor who has no emotional foundation. Live in the countryside.
She has never been out of Anyang County, and has never read any books, so her daughter has become her most proud topic of conversation. She wishes the whole world would know how outstanding her daughter is.
Second Aunt Huo chatted and cried again, she took Huo Yan's hand and said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't go to see you back then and help you, and now I'm still enjoying your blessings, don't worry, Aunt I made your second sister swear, and as long as she has the ability in the future, she will definitely repay you."
"The old Huo family is sorry for you." Second Aunt Huo wiped away her tears.
She looked at Jian Yao again with tears in her eyes and said: "I made a mistake last time, I saw you as a girl doll, don't be angry with me."
Jian Yao waved his hands again and again: "Don't be angry, don't be angry. My grandparents said that I have been delicate since I was a child. When I was a child, I was taken out. People asked my mother why she wore boy's clothes for the girl doll."
Second Aunt Huo couldn't help laughing: "This is a blessing! Girls who look like boys when they are young, and boys who look like girls when they are young, are blessed when they grow up."
Because Aunt Huo was in charge, their lunch was as sumptuous as a village banquet.
In order to have a good intention, Aunt Huo cooked a total of ten dishes, taking the implication of perfection, and filled the table to the brim.
Jian Anzhi also took out her own red wine, and wanted to drink it with Aunt Huo and Aunt Huo.
The two minors, Jian Yao and Huo Yan, are not allowed to drink alcohol, but it doesn't matter, there is grape juice of similar color for them to drink.
They sat around the table, with the snow outside the window and the fireworks in the world inside the window.
A news program was playing on the TV, and Jian Yao poured Huo Yan a glass of grape juice.
When he looked up, he found that Huo Yan was not talking to anyone, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
It wasn't a habitual smile, but a genuine smile that he didn't realize.
Jian Yao's heart suddenly softened.
Maybe Huo Yan didn't say anything, but he also wanted to have a family.
There is a family that can accommodate him.
Jian Yao lightly shook Huo Yan's hand on the table.
Huo Yan's fingers moved slightly, and then he broke free slightly, but he didn't take back his hand, but held Jian Yao's hand instead.
Jian Yao crawled out of bed, Huo Yan had already gone to school, and there were only him and Jian Anzhi at home.
Jian Yao stood in front of the window, looking at the rain-like snow outside, and felt that the scenery in front of him was a little cute, but soon Jian Yao sneezed.
After returning home yesterday with a low fever, Jian Anzhi asked him for a day's sick leave.
After a night's rest, Jian Yao no longer felt headaches, but he got up too early, the sky was just dawn, the hour hand just pointed to six o'clock, and it was not time for breakfast, so Jian Yao went downstairs to get a cup of hot water .
Jian Yao returned to the room with the water glass in his hand, sat there for a while and then turned on the computer.
This computer is rarely turned on. After all, Jian Yao doesn't like to play online games. Searching for information and watching videos can be perfectly replaced by a mobile phone, so the computer has become a decoration in the room, and only Huo Yan occasionally uses it.
After turning on the computer, Jian Yao boarded his penguin, and saw some news.
Those who sent him messages were all friends of the "Original Owner". These friends were still in the capital. Before the "Original Owner" left, they couldn't understand.

In her third year of high school, Jian Yao had to go back to the capital.
"Are you coming back this year for Chinese New Year?"
Jian Yao replied: "I want to come back."
I must go back to the capital during the Chinese New Year. The two elderly people in my family are getting old, and there is no airport in Anyang County. I have to fly to the provincial capital first, then transfer to the nearest city by car, and then transfer to the bus after arriving in the city. It is really troublesome.
Compared with two old people, Jian Yao and Jian Anzhi are safer to move.
The friend was obviously playing with his mobile phone secretly in class. As soon as Jian Yao's message was sent, he immediately replied: "Okay, my brothers will clean up the dust for you at that time. I am in physical education class, and recently opened a new one next to our school. There are many new games in the VR experience hall, let's go together when you come back."
Jian Yao chatted with the other party a few more words.
The "Original Owner" had a not-so-small circle of friends before. There were men and women, all of whom were born and bred like him. The family did not say how rich they were, but the conditions were not bad. In the county seat, a few went to international schools, and two went abroad after high school.

The longest road she walked was from the village to the county. In order to save money on the bus, she got up at four o'clock in the past few days, packed her things, and set off to walk over. It costs two yuan to take the bus to the city.
Before, she would not come to the city to sell vegetables, but sold them to the villagers at a low price. There were also some elderly people left behind in the village who rented out the land, and spent some money to buy vegetables after they stopped farming.
Or go sell vegetables in the surrounding towns.
The best houses she has ever seen are the buildings in the county, so high that even looking up makes her feel dizzy.
Those buildings were already beyond her reach, and she didn't know if she would have the chance to move to the county in this life.
But the moment she stepped into Jian Yao's house, she realized that there are houses in this world that are more beautiful than buildings. The fence at the entrance is covered with vines. Although it's winter, they haven't completely withered. vibrant.
Entering Jian Yao's house, whether it's the furniture or the floor pattern, it's like a house in a TV drama.
She sat awkwardly on the sofa, but her eyes kept looking at the patterns on the cabinet and the decorations on the coffee table in front of her.
Aunt Huo looks a bit more outgoing than the second aunt, and she also dresses more decently than the second aunt. The second aunt wears white cotton clothes, and the aunt wears a wine-red down jacket. Her hair is tied tightly. , The roots of the hair are tearing at the scalp.
But her face looked older than the second aunt.
Aunt Huo has no flesh on her face and her cheekbones are high, so she looks a bit mean. Her voice is also very loud. Not long after she came in, she said to Jian Anzhi: "We don't have any good things here. I brought you some pickles and vegetables. The stewed vegetables are all made by myself, I wear gloves, it is clean!"
Jian Anzhi had already put away her things, and she smiled at Aunt Huo: "Thank you."
Aunt Huo's eyes gradually turned red, and she stood up suddenly, Jian Anzhi and Jian Yao couldn't react, Aunt Huo made a "bang", her knees touched the ground, and she knelt down for Jian Anzhi.
This frightened Jian Anzhi so much that his heart was torn apart. Their family didn't even go to temples, they didn't worship Buddha, and they didn't have the habit of kneeling and kowtowing to their elders during festivals. So after so many years when others were kneeling by others, Jian Anzhi himself I never knelt.
She was so frightened that she couldn't react for a moment, and she froze for two seconds, then hurriedly pulled up Aunt Huo, and said incoherently, "What are you doing? Get up, get up!"
Aunt Huo still had that loud voice, with a local accent: "Erya and I have had a bad time these years, and we have never seen Xiao Yan. I don't know how the child lives. His father is not a thing, mom They are not good people either, logically speaking, they are unreliable couples, we two nuns should take care of them anyway."
"But we haven't been around Huo Gan's house in these years, so we don't know about it."
"It's fine if you don't know. We haven't brought that child up, and we haven't given him a bite to eat, so we shouldn't take advantage of him."
As Aunt Huo spoke, tears came down: "That child has a conscience and still thinks about us. His elder sister and second sister have enjoyed his blessing."
"But how much money does he have in his family? You must be kind enough to raise him and give him money back."
Aunt Huo was talking, her body fell to the ground again, as if she wanted to hit Jian Anzhi again.
Jian Anzhi was confused by what was said and couldn't quite understand it.
"We took the money, and we will admit it." Aunt Huo wiped her eyes with her sleeve, "We have no backbone, but we admit it, and we will pay back the money."
Aunt Huo: "We brought the IOU."
She searched in her pocket, found two pieces of paper, and handed the two IOUs to Jian Anzhi very formally.
Jian Anzhi looked at the IOU handed to him, still in a daze.
She is not like Jian Yao. Jian Yao knew that the Zhou family had given Huo Yan a sum of money, but she never asked about it. Jian Anzhi rarely asked Huo Yan about these things. In her opinion, Huo Yan was not her own son after all. She helped him, not because he regarded her as his own mother.
So there are some things she shouldn't ask.
Jian Anzhi has her own thoughts, but she never told Jian Yao.
In the beginning, I helped Huo Yan because I saw that Huo Yan was a nice person with good conduct.
Later, he helped Huo Yan because Huo Yan had a good relationship with Jian Yao on the premise of his character, and Huo Yan's grades were also good.
Moreover, Huo Yan doesn't need much money, he himself will work during winter and summer vacations, and what she spends money on is just eating and so on.
Anyway, the house is so big, it doesn't matter if there are more than one person.
If Huo Yan achieves something in the future, then Jian Yao will also benefit. If Huo Yan does not achieve anything in the future, then she will not lose much.
Especially since Huo Yan is already seventeen, she will be an adult soon, and she has student loans for college, so she doesn't need to pay much.
Jian Anzhi looked at the woman kneeling on the ground, she might not beat her much, but the two seemed to be of two generations.
So she sighed and said softly: "You guys change this IOU and change it to Xiao Yan's name. I really didn't give the money to you. If I gave it, I have no reason to deny it."
"Xiao Yan has been working part-time during the winter and summer vacations these years, and he usually does part-time jobs when he has time. He should have savings in his hand." Jian Anzhi turned around and shouted, "Xiao Yao! Is the tea ready?!"
Jian Yao immediately went to the kitchen to get a teacup.
Aunt Huo still doesn't believe it, how much money can a child earn as a winter and summer job?Without diplomas and skills, the jobs that can be found are not money-making jobs. Huo Yan can have thousands of Thaksin in his hand, but tens of thousands?This is not what Huo Yan can earn.
Aunt Huo and Aunt Huo killed each other and wanted to give the IOU to Jian Anzhi, and Jian Anzhi would not leave unless they accepted it.
Jian Anzhi also has time to spend time with them: "That's okay, if you don't leave, you won't leave, Xiao Yao, go and clean up the guest room, and then go buy some drinks when you come back. Your mother, I will show you a hand at noon."
"No, no, no." Second Aunt Huo lost her composure, and she quickly said, "We don't live here with you, and you don't cook, we're just here to deliver the IOUs, and we'll leave after delivering them."
Aunt Huo pursed her lips tightly, as if she wanted to follow through to the end what she just said, but she still couldn't help but look at Jian Anzhi's face.
Jian Anzhi took the opportunity to let them sit down again, and the three of them sat in the living room and chatted.
As parents, children are the ones who talk the most. When Aunt Huo and Aunt Huo mentioned their daughters, the expressions on their faces were finally no longer so reserved. They would proudly mention their daughter's grades to Jian Anzhi.
"Her grades have been good since she was a child, and the family can't give her anything. I'm a primary school student. I've been worried that I'll drag the baby down. Fortunately, the baby can do it by himself."
"Xiao Yan's child is also like that, his parents are like him, and his grades are not bad?"
"If parents don't live up to expectations, their children will be more sensible than others." Aunt Huo sighed.
Jian Anzhi quickly got involved in their conversation, and in the end Aunt Huo and Aunt Huo stayed at Jian's house for lunch.
It's just that the people who cook have changed from Jian Anzhi who just revealed his skills to Aunt Huo and Second Aunt.
They didn't need to buy vegetables either. After all, they didn't come empty-handed this time. They brought fresh greenhouse vegetables in addition to pickled vegetables. They didn't have much land, so they couldn't make much money selling fresh vegetables.
There are only so many, no matter how high the seller is, he can't get more vegetables.
So when Huo Yan opened the door, what he saw was a lively and warm scene.
Jian Yao sat on the sofa and watched TV with Second Aunt Huo, while Aunt Huo and Jian Anzhi were busy in the kitchen.
It's not that Second Aunt Huo wants to be lazy, but that Aunt Huo doesn't like her craftsmanship.
The smell of food permeates the house, and the temperature inside is moderately hot and cold.
Huo Yan took off his down jacket, Jian Yao had already stood up and walked towards him.
"Second Aunt." Huo Yan first greeted the Second Aunt who also stood up and smiled at him, then rubbed Jian Yao's hair, leaned over slightly, and whispered in Jian Yao's ear, "What time are they coming?" of?"
Jian Yao: "This morning, we will arrive before seven o'clock."
"Why are you back?" Jian Yao asked strangely, "Aren't you going to class?"
Huo Yan said helplessly: "You forgot? Today is the sports meeting."
Jian Yao: "...I really forgot."
Fortunately, he didn't apply for the project, otherwise it would be troublesome to ask for leave temporarily.
Huo Yan: "You don't have to go in the afternoon, my project is over in the morning."
Jian Yao: "Then what place did you get?"
Huo Yan smiled and pinched the tip of Jian Yao's nose: "Tell me, what number will I get?"
Jian Yao moaned and said, "No. [-] is No. [-]. Fortunately, we are not in the same grade, otherwise we might not be the No. [-]."
Although Huo Yan's grades are very good, Jian Yao feels that if he compares his test scores, he will not be worse than Huo Yan - but since he is the one who cheated, he can't say this, otherwise he will feel shameless.
After Huo Yan changed his shoes, he went to the living room with Jian Yao. They were not interested in TV programs, so they talked with Second Aunt Huo.
Second Aunt Huo first thanked Huo Yan, then praised Jian Yao, and then talked about her daughter.
Jian Yao wasn't impatient either, and chatted with her.
Second Aunt Huo is probably the proudest daughter in her life. She was "sold" by her parents when she was young. Since then, she has no parents, no younger brother, and follows an old bachelor who has no emotional foundation. Live in the countryside.
She has never been out of Anyang County, and has never read any books, so her daughter has become her most proud topic of conversation. She wishes the whole world would know how outstanding her daughter is.
Second Aunt Huo chatted and cried again, she took Huo Yan's hand and said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't go to see you back then and help you, and now I'm still enjoying your blessings, don't worry, Aunt I made your second sister swear, and as long as she has the ability in the future, she will definitely repay you."
"The old Huo family is sorry for you." Second Aunt Huo wiped away her tears.
She looked at Jian Yao again with tears in her eyes and said: "I made a mistake last time, I saw you as a girl doll, don't be angry with me."
Jian Yao waved his hands again and again: "Don't be angry, don't be angry. My grandparents said that I have been delicate since I was a child. When I was a child, I was taken out. People asked my mother why she wore boy's clothes for the girl doll."
Second Aunt Huo couldn't help laughing: "This is a blessing! Girls who look like boys when they are young, and boys who look like girls when they are young, are blessed when they grow up."
Because Aunt Huo was in charge, their lunch was as sumptuous as a village banquet.
In order to have a good intention, Aunt Huo cooked a total of ten dishes, taking the implication of perfection, and filled the table to the brim.
Jian Anzhi also took out her own red wine, and wanted to drink it with Aunt Huo and Aunt Huo.
The two minors, Jian Yao and Huo Yan, are not allowed to drink alcohol, but it doesn't matter, there is grape juice of similar color for them to drink.
They sat around the table, with the snow outside the window and the fireworks in the world inside the window.
A news program was playing on the TV, and Jian Yao poured Huo Yan a glass of grape juice.
When he looked up, he found that Huo Yan was not talking to anyone, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
It wasn't a habitual smile, but a genuine smile that he didn't realize.
Jian Yao's heart suddenly softened.
Maybe Huo Yan didn't say anything, but he also wanted to have a family.
There is a family that can accommodate him.
Jian Yao lightly shook Huo Yan's hand on the table.
Huo Yan's fingers moved slightly, and then he broke free slightly, but he didn't take back his hand, but held Jian Yao's hand instead.
