After dressing as a villain, I'm with the paranoid male protagonist.

As the new year approached, Zhang Qianrou took He Nanlou and Qiao Annian's two children back to Jiangcheng for the new year.

Zhang Qianrou called the driver a day in advance.

The driver arrived in Huai Town around noon. In the morning, Zhang Qianrou packed the salute in advance and put it downstairs. It was the same three suitcases as when he came. The difference was that there were several more large and small bags.

The driver carried the suitcase to the trunk, and Zhang's father was also busy getting the things he and his wife bought into the car.

Zhang Qianrou helped her father take a few bags, and the things were heavy, "Dad, Mom, there are really too many things, otherwise, you should take some back? I will accept the vegetables you grow, and the others are like pigeon eggs. , and milk, you don’t need it, you can keep it for yourself and add some nutrition.”

Zhang's mother on the side said: "The pigeon eggs are for the two children, not for you. There is also this milk, as well as snacks. I know you can buy everything in your city, but these pigeon eggs are from you. I bought it from my aunt’s house. The pigeons in her family usually fly out, which are different from the kind of pigeons that are raised in captivity and kept in cages. I heard that the eggs of this kind of pigeons that fly out are more nutritious and the children are smarter.

Isn't there an entrance exam every year in the next semester?At that time, the pressure of study must be great.After you go back, you stew some pigeon eggs for him every day to make up for it.Xiaolou, too, look, this child, apart from a little flesh on his face, has too little flesh on his body and arms, so give him more meat.do you know? "

Zhang Qianrou looked down at the basket full of pigeon eggs: "But you and Dad bought too much, there are so many pigeon eggs, you can't finish them..."

It's not that Zhang Qianrou has never refused these things, but no matter what she says, the old man just doesn't listen to her.

Sure enough, this time the persuasion was still ineffective.

"I can eat it, I can finish it. I get up every morning and steam four, and the two children each have two pigeon eggs for breakfast. When I come home from school in the evening, I have soup or a small bowl of egg custard or something. , eating six or eight a day... It seems that one basket can't be eaten for a few days, Taiping, should we buy another basket?"

"I said yesterday that one basket is too little, and you said one basket is enough. Look... I'll call Dexin's wife's house right now..."

Zhang Qianrou hurriedly stopped her and said, "Dad, Mom, enough is enough! It's not like you don't understand Niannian, 3-minute heat. Let him eat pigeon eggs for a week, and he will definitely get tired of it."

"Is there any? I buy crabs every day these days, and I haven't gotten tired of eating them every year."

"That's because he likes to eat seafood, but pigeon eggs..."

"Pigeon eggs are small, tender, and can be eaten in one bite. Niannian will definitely like it, right, Niannian? Eh? What about Niannian? This kid, didn't he just walk by our side? Where did you go? Where did you go?"

"Grandma, I'm here."

Qiao Annian ran out of the house with his hands in his pockets, and He Nanlou followed him leisurely.

The two moved and remained silent, with distinct personalities.

Zhang Qianrou: "Why did you run back again? Did something fall?"

Qiao Annian took out the phone from his pocket and shook it: "My phone fell on the table."

"You, you are always so careless. Check again, is there anything missing? Have you brought homework, books? And Xiaolou, Xiaolou, have you brought all your own things Is there anything left?"

Qiao Annian nodded: "I've brought everything, and I've brought everything from the small building. I checked everything for him."

Zhang Qianrou glanced at him: "You almost dropped your phone just now, why are you still checking for Xiaolou?"

Qiao Annian touched the tip of her nose, "Mom, save me some face in front of Xiaolou."

Both Zhang's father and Zhang's mother laughed, while Zhang Qianrou shook her head without laughing.

...

It was cold outside, so Zhang Qianrou asked the two children to get into the car first.

Zhang's mother took her daughter to the side and spoke, "Qianrou, if you go back this time, if you come back again, it must be next year. Grandma Niannian, are you really going to take the child to talk about it?"

The daughter has been back for such a long time, except that she took the child to see the old lady at Qiao's house on the day of her return, and has been living at home since then.Of course, Mother Zhang is very happy that her daughter and grandson can live at home for such a long time, but after all, Niannian is also someone else's grandson, and she is afraid that Qiao's family will have opinions.

"Mom, do you know why Niannian refused to go with Qiao Yongjian when he came to our house, and then the Qiao family never mentioned about letting Niannian go back to live for a while?"

Zhang's mother sighed, "I know, it's probably because you caused Yongjian to be hospitalized, right? You must have thought that if you let Niannian go with Yongjian that day, Yongjian wouldn't drive too fast and get out on the road. It was an accident, so I simply did not mention the matter of taking the child back."

Anyway, having been in-laws for a few years, Zhang's mother knows a little bit about the character of the old lady of the Qiao family.

Zhang Qianrou smiled: "Let me tell you, she is afraid that after Nian Nian is taken over, I will feel worried, and always go to Qiao's house. The old lady is too late to hide from me now."

Zhang's mother wondered: "It's all right, why is she hiding from you?"

So Zhang Qianrou took the two children to the hospital to visit her ex-husband that day. The old lady asked her to borrow money. I told my mother about the completely different attitude.

At the end, Zhang Qianrou said indifferently: "After all, there is not only one grandson."

If the old lady only had one grandson, Nian Nian, she would probably want to take Nian Nian back. At most, if she asked to borrow money, she would just not take her.

But the Qiao family still has Qiao Zhuoxi, so Nian Nian is naturally not so rare.

After hearing this, Zhang's mother didn't speak for a long time.

"This old lady..."

Simply powerful and selfish.

Zhang's mother is kind and doesn't want to talk about people behind their backs.

"Forget it, this person is like this. Isn't that the old saying, it's always easy to add flowers to the cake, but difficult to give charcoal in the snow. Her reaction is also human. But Qianrou, there is no problem with Mr. He's business? If you really If you are short of money, you tell mom that we have saved all the money you have saved for me and your father in the past few years. In addition, your father and I have also saved some money..."

Zhang Qianrou's eyes were hot, "No. In fact, I have never asked about Weishen's business matters, and he would never tell me about them, let alone take my ID card for loans. Another thing, even if it is him If there is any problem in the business, he can just sell some collectibles, or a certain real estate, or find friends in his circle for a turnaround. It is enough for him to tide over the difficulties. Where does he need my help? I will give you and Dad’s money , you don’t need to save it specially, you and Dad can buy whatever you want, you don’t need to save so much. I still have some money on hand..."

"Your dad and I are old people, and there are not many places to use the money. If you still have some money on hand, you can save it yourself. It will grow bigger and bigger every year, and there will be more places to use the money in the future. That's fine, Get in the car first, lest the driver wait too long." Mother Zhang patted her daughter's arm.

"Then you and Dad take good care of yourself."

"Well, let's go."

Mother Zhang sent her daughter to the car.

Qiao Annian lowered the car window, raised He Nanlou's little hand, and waved to the two elders, "Goodbye, grandpa and grandma."

He Nanlou: "..."

Zhang's mother smiled and said, "Niannian, see you in Xiaolou."

The husband who was not good at words kept his hands behind his back, but kept looking at the two children reluctantly.

The driver started the car, and Qiao Annian kept waving to the two elders. He didn't put down Xiaotuanzi's arm until the car drove away.

"Niannian, close the car windows, it's cold, it's not good to catch a cold when you turn back."

"Ah."

Qiao Annian responded, and reluctantly rolled up the window.

He turned his head, and through the rear window, he could still see two elders standing at the door of their house, looking in the direction of their car...

...

"Come on, let's go in too."

The car disappeared at the intersection, Zhang's father turned his head and said to his wife.

Mother Zhang nodded, and the two returned to the house together.

Back in the house, Zhang's father, whose body was a little cold from the wind, picked up the thermos cup on the table, intending to drink some hot water to warm his body, when he suddenly saw a red envelope on the table, which was originally pressed by the thermos cup.Puffy, not like an empty one.

Zhang Chengping paused when he unscrewed the lid of the cup. He put down the thermos cup in his hand, picked up the red envelope on the table, opened it, and saw a stack of hundred yuan bills.

Zhang's mother closed the door and came in. Seeing the red envelope in her husband's hand, she asked strangely, "Hey? Is there any favor at home that I don't know about recently? How did you pack so much money?"

Zhang Chengping turned his head, wondering: "Isn't this red envelope yours?"

Zhang's mother was even more surprised and said: "I made it? No. The family has no favors to leave recently."

Father Zhang was puzzled: "It's strange, what's the matter with this red envelope?"

Mother Zhang frowned, "Could it be that child Qianrou left behind?"

"It's not a year or a festival, and it's not my or your birthday. What kind of red envelope did she give us?"

"There's no one else at home, so it must be Qianrou. Wait a minute, I'll call and ask—"

"Wait, Panlan, look, here's a note."

Zhang's father found a note in the red envelope, and Zhang's mother urged him to take out the note.

Zhang's father took the note out of the red envelope, and Zhang's mother leaned over to read it together——

"Grandpa, grandma, happy new year! This is my New Year's red envelope for you. I wish grandpa and grandma good health and all the best, long life and long life! I love you every year." Behind the note, there is also Draw three hearts with a red pen.

"Every year?!"

Zhang Chengping and Dai Xianglan were surprised at the same time.

Zhang's mother was surprised: "Well, how could this be wrapped every year? When was it wrapped every year? How come I don't know at all?"

Zhang's father guessed: "Do you think it is possible that they let Niannian off just before they got into the car? Didn't you call Niannian at that time, that Niannian was not on the side, did you run out of the house? Maybe it was that It was time to let it go secretly."

The more Zhang's mother thought about it, the more she felt that it was very likely that it was released at that time, "They must have not driven far at the moment, so I will call them and tell them to drive back quickly and return the red envelope to the child."

"Well, hurry up and call."

Mother Zhang picked up the mobile phone on the table and called her daughter.

In the car, Zhang Qianrou received a call from her mother.

"Hey, Mom."

Hearing that his son had wrapped more than 2000 red envelopes for his mother, Zhang Qianrou was very surprised, "You said that you and your father have wrapped more than 2000 red envelopes every year?"

"That's right. It's more than 2000, and there's still a fraction of 80. Qianrou, why did you give the child so much money?"

"I haven't given him so much cash, and I don't bring so much cash with me, but he has his own New Year's money, and I store it in his own card for him. It may be using the New Year's money in the card, at home. Cash at a small store nearby."

"Forget it, now is not the time to talk about this. Where are you now? Qianrou, let the driver drive back, ah. Your father and I will return the red envelope to Niannian. Really, he is a child, Give me and your dad some red envelopes."

Qiao Annian in the back seat heard the conversation between the mother and daughter, and shook his head silently at Zhang Qianrou.

Zhang Qianrou then said to the mother on the other end of the phone: "Mom, we are driving a long way now. If we return to the city too late, we may be stuck on the road. You should collect the red envelopes every year first. As for the New Year’s red envelope I gave you at that time, his money, I’ll just pay him back later.”

"That's it. That's fine. Then you must remember to give him the money."

"Well, I must remember."

"That's fine. Then you ask the driver to drive slower and more steadily. Safety is the most important thing."

"Okay, I know."

After finishing the call with her mother, Zhang Qianrou turned her head and asked in surprise, "When did you leave the red envelope for grandpa and grandma? Also, where did you get the red envelope from?"

"I bought it at the small shop near my grandmother's house. I bought a stack of red envelopes, and I also bought some food and drink. I patronized their business. So I exchanged cash with the proprietress, and the proprietress readily agreed. .”

Zhang Qianrou found that she could hardly keep up with the growth of the year.

Like patronizing the boss's wife's business and exchanging a large amount of cash with the boss every year, she would never have thought of it at the age of twelve or thirteen.

Zhang Qianrou asked him again: "Then why did you think of giving red envelopes to grandpa and grandma?"

"Grandma gave me 500 before, and I returned it back, but my grandma refused to accept it. I thought, since Chinese New Year is coming, I will give my grandma and grandpa a red envelope, just to make sense of it. You don't have to transfer the money to me, if you put If the money is transferred to me, then it cannot be regarded as my New Year’s blessing to grandpa and grandma, and the blessing will not work.”

Zhang Qianrou also knew that her mother would secretly stuff pocket money into Niannian.

In the past, she criticized Niannian for taking money from Niannian, but she didn't expect...

It's just that after a few months, Niannian actually knew that he had to return the money, and rewrapped a red envelope for grandpa and grandma.

"Okay, okay. I won't transfer the money to you."

Zhang Qianrou replied, thinking about celebrating the new year this year, she would give a big red envelope to Niannian and Xiaolou's two children.

...

They set off early, and when they arrived in Jiangcheng, it was still bright. Unlike the last time, when they arrived in Huai Town, it was already dark.

Small red lanterns have been hung up everywhere in the community, and the arrangement is very festive and lively.

Qiao Annian turned his face to the car window, and rows of red lanterns passed before his eyes.

In previous years, the closer to the end of the year, the busier he was.

Unexpectedly, this time he would have the most relaxing holiday in his life at the end of the year.

At this time, the other friends in the studio must be very busy, right?

He is not here, and I don't know if the studio can continue to sit...

He Nanlou followed the boy's line of sight, not understanding what to see with these lanterns.

After a while, the He family's villa arrived.

There was a lot of luggage, Zhang Qianrou asked the servants to come out to help, and she also entered the house with big and small bags.

She ordered the servants to put the vegetables and pigeon eggs in the kitchen. When the door was closed, Zhang Qianrou suddenly remembered that her bag was left on the car, so she had to go back to the car to get it.

When the driver was about to drive, he found the lady's backpack on the co-pilot and hurriedly brought it back.

...

"A countryman is a countryman, whoever returns with a bag of vegetables is so funny."

"That's not it. I looked at it just now, and it's all some worthless cabbage, Chinese cabbage, and sweet potatoes. They are deadly and worthless. My God, can't these things be bought in supermarkets? It's worth bringing them from home. come over?"

"These dishes are still covered with dirt, making the floor dirty. I don't know what my wife thinks."

"What can she think? She is from the countryside, so she is used to it."

At the door of the kitchen, Zhang Qianrou slightly closed her fingertips holding the bag.

She knew that the servants of the He family didn't think highly of her all the time, and sometimes they would talk about her secretly behind their backs.

The salaries of these servants are paid by Weishen's secretary, and they are all found by Weishen's secretary. It's not easy for her to dismiss her, or even say something too serious.

Zhang Qianrou bit her lip, pretending she didn't hear anything, and just about to turn around, she only heard a voice between a boy and a boy, with a voice that is unique to teenagers, sounded behind her.

"I don't know if you are princesses or princesses?"

The three servants were taken aback. They turned around, and when they saw Zhang Qianrou, Qiao Annian, mother and son standing at the door of the kitchen, their expressions became awkward and uneasy.

Ma'am, why didn't Madam go back to the car to get her bag? Why did she...

Zhang Qianrou asked in a low voice: "Niannian, didn't you go up with Xiaolou?"

"I forgot to bring my schoolbag."

After Qiao Annian answered Zhang Qianrou's words, he turned his head, "It's a good thing I went downstairs to get my schoolbag, otherwise I wouldn't have heard such a wonderful conversation, princesses, are you right?"

Qiao Annian had a smile on his face. He was good-looking, and his smile was sunny and bright. He was likable to look at, but what he said made the three maids extremely embarrassed.

"Joe, Young Master Qiao..."

Qiao Annian didn't need to think about it, he also knew that such discussions must have happened more than once.

With Yuanshen's bad temper, it's no wonder that he can endure it, and it's no wonder that Yuanshen acts like a monster every day at home, listening to people talking about his own mother behind his back every day, and may even look down on him, who can bear it?

Qiao Annian put on a straight face: "If you still want to continue working here, I don't want to hear similar discussions in the future. Have you heard it all?"

Qiao Annian didn't see any fear on the maid's face.

That's right, after all, he is a "fake prince" and a "fool".

But at this time, even if the fox pretends to be the tiger, he still has to calm people down and say, "Or do you think that I don't have the right to fire you? Or, when Uncle He comes back, let's try?"

Sure enough, when He Weishen was mentioned, the expressions of the three maids immediately changed.

"Young Master Qiao, we know."

"We won't be anymore.

"Ma'am, Young Master Qiao, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, we won't do it again next time."

Joannian: "Clean up the kitchen."

"Yes."

...

Qiao Annian took her schoolbag and went back to her room.

"Knock Knock-"

The door was knocked softly.

Qiao Annian put her schoolbag on the chair and looked towards the door.

Zhang Qianrou walked into the room and said in a low voice, "Niannian, I'm sorry, it's all about my mother's fault."

Qiao Annian looked confused: "?? What's wrong? Why are you apologizing to me when you're so nice?"

"Mom knows, because you have been wronged a lot these years..."

Joannian was silent.

He understands what it's like to depend on others.

When he was a child, because his father went out to work, he was fostered by relatives for a period of time, and he was kicked around.

The original body's situation was much better than his.

At least, Zhang Qianrou never gave up on him no matter how difficult the situation was, and insisted on bringing his son by his side.

Qiao Annian said seriously: "You are wrong. You should have suffered a lot for me these years."

Zhang Qianrou was taken aback.

"Mom, do you really like Uncle He? You should have saved some money over the years, right? Have you ever thought about...leaving Uncle He?"

Zhang Qianrou immediately looked outside the door nervously.

"Niannian...you, why do you think so?"

"I understand that you were with Uncle He before, mostly because of me. Now that I'm older, you can think more about yourself. Do you really like Uncle He? So much that even if he is not After marrying you, are you willing to waste time with him like this?"

From his time in the book to the present, he has never seen how He Weishen stayed at home. He suspected that He Weishen was purely looking for a woman to take care of Xiaotuanzi. In short, the relationship between Zhang Qianrou and He Weishen was not like normal lovers at all.

"Niannian, you, you don't understand...you know him deeply, he has helped our mother and son a lot."

"He's not a philanthropist, and he must have other plans. You don't need to be too grateful to him, the best you can do is a mutually beneficial relationship."

Zhang Qianrou: "...No, it's different."

Zhang Qianrou lowered her head slightly, she was always the one who received favor.

If it hadn't been for a long time, Zhang Qianrou's behavior didn't look like she was fascinated by He Weishen, and she didn't look like she wanted He Weishen's money. Qiao Annian would have suspected that Zhang Qianrou was a brain of love, otherwise who would be so unknown and so innocent? people live together.

It couldn't be that He Weishen saved Zhang Qianrou's life, so Zhang Qianrou lived with someone else and took care of his son, right?

"Mom, no matter what you decide, I will support you."

Zhang Qianrou's eyes were slightly red, she held Qiao Annian in her arms, "Niannian, thank you."

Qiao Annian is still not very used to physical contact with Zhang Qianrou, so he broke away from the other party's hug.

"Mom, you must be tired just after you came back, so go back to your room and rest first."

Zhang Qianrou still had luggage to pack, so she didn't stay in Qiao Annian's room too long, "Mom has ordered the kitchen to cook, remember to ask Xiaolou to go downstairs for dinner later."

"Oh, I see."

Qiao Annian closed the door and returned to the room. The first thing he did was to hold up his "small building".

"Small building."

The light strip around the robot's eyes lit up, "Brother Niannian, where have you been? Xiaolou hasn't seen Brother Niannian for several days, and I really miss Brother Niannian."

The expression on his eyes also turned into a sad expression, which made Qiao Annian feel distressed.

"I miss you too, I will never leave you for such a long time next time, and I will take you with me wherever I go, okay?"

"Really? Brother Niannian is not allowed to lie to Xiaolou."

"Well! I won't lie to you! I promise to keep my word!"

In the room, because the "Small Building" turned on automatically, and received the real-time images and conversations transmitted by the system, He Nanlou saw Qiao Annian and the little robot hugging each other, face to face: "..."
