"Dongdong, are you okay?

"It's okay, it's not bleeding, it doesn't hurt much now......" I touched my hot face and squeezed out a reluctant smile.

But my uncle's eyes were still sad.

"Don't worry about those people, they're not good, they're all looking at your father's money. ”

"I know, uncle. I nodded, in understanding.

"After I drove them away this time, some people probably won't come back, but some people may still come to them. Dongdong, you might as well move in with your uncle. In the future, your uncle will support you and provide for you to go to college until you start a family...... You should trust your uncle, right?"

"Well, uncle, I know what you mean. But...... I want to stay in this home. I looked into my eldest uncle's concerned eyes and kindly declined his request. "Uncle, I don't plan to go to college, I plan to find a job in the future, and it is enough to live a stable life. ”

"Don't go to college? Your dad has high expectations of you, and he's spent a lot of money on you over the years, right? ”

"I'm sorry. But uncle, I've already thought about it. My dad left me a lot of money...... I don't know how many there are, but I think I'll be able to live a safe life. And I don't have to buy a house, I can live in my own home......" I patiently explained to my eldest uncle.

"That's what I said, but Dongdong, your academic performance is also very good, how can you be so wasted? If you are a student with a poor foundation, there is no way, you can only go to work after the college entrance examination. But you're pretty good, right?

"Nope. Not really. I smiled wryly and shook my head.

My uncle still didn't seem to understand my thoughts, and he tried to convince me by all means, but I still rejected his opinion.

Actually, I also want to go to university. But if I go to college, then I won't be able to take care of Jiaqi anymore. By now, Jiaqi has almost become my only concern. I can't leave her behind.

My uncle sat on the couch that night and talked to me, but I insisted on my idea again and again.

In the end, my eldest uncle couldn't convince me, and he couldn't speak too fiercely, so he could only pat me on the shoulder and ask me to think about it again.

"Dongdong, think about it again. If your dad is still around, he definitely wants you to go to college. Since you insist on refusing to go to your uncle's house, then your uncle will go back first, and you know my phone number, if there is an emergency, you can call me immediately, don't hesitate. In a few days, my uncle will accompany you to the notary office to collect the property, and the inheritance problem will be solved, and you will be at ease. Rest assured, Uncle will always be on your side. ”

My uncle's words moved me very much, and my eyes were sour, and I finally managed to hold back my tears.

When you are wronged, if there is someone who firmly points you out and helps you, that kind of touching is absolutely something you can't ignore and bear.

My eldest uncle eventually left, and my cousin stayed behind to talk to me.

When I was a child, my cousin was arguably the best of my peers. Because I was very naughty and playful with him when I was a child, although I was a lot more introverted after entering puberty, he was still cheerful, which is considered to be the two extremes, but my relationship with him is still very good.

"Dongdong, it's okay, don't be sad. No matter what, brother, I will help you to the end. My cousin patted me on the back and said to me very freely.

"Thank you, Brother Xia Bin. I nodded, looked at the wounds on his face and the somewhat cracked sleeves of his shirt, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Xia Bin, you weren't injured, those people were quite heavy just now, if you hadn't stopped me, I'm afraid I would have been lying in the hospital like my father." ”

"Cut, what will happen to me, you don't know what I can do. Those people are not professional thugs, even if the armed police come, I can do with them, how can they be injured. I didn't work out of the police academy for nothing. ”

Listening to Xia Bin's cousin's words, I smiled reassuringly.

My cousin talked to me for a while, comforted me a lot, and finally I told him to go back early, go back and apply some potion, put a band-aid, and show the infection. He smiled and got up to leave.

"Dongdong, if someone bothers you, you can find me. There are still a lot of brothers who used to mess with me and sell my face, and if they want to do it, they will definitely not suffer. The police chief and the captain of the traffic police force have a good relationship with my father, and you don't have to be afraid of anyone in this city!"

"Well, I see, thank you, Brother Xia Bin. I smiled, got up, and sent my hard-pressed cousin out of the house.

Everything that should be sent away was sent away, and I was left alone in the empty home.

In the past few days, because of the funeral, there are a lot of people coming and going, and there are many people who comfort me and care for me, so I don't feel very lonely.

But when they left one by one, I was the only one left in the empty house. I really felt a strong sense of loneliness and fear.

Blank.

Endless blanks.

Looking at the sofa, TV, table, and coffee table in the empty home, everything is so familiar, no different from before......

But I know that the only difference is that my dad is gone.

He will never come back.

He will never drive the car again, come back to this house, cross his legs, throw his coat on the sofa, sit on the sofa, turn on the TV to watch, and will no longer read the newspaper and drink tea. He won't cook for me anymore, and he won't give me any more surprises in life. finish

This home, this living room, although so familiar, will never be alive again. From now on, there will only be endless loneliness and loneliness.

Looking at the silent living room, I couldn't help but shed a few tears, and after tidying up the teacups on the table and cleaning the living room, I gradually held back my tears.

Finally, I finally thought of Jiaqi, and thought of the only person I was closest to in this world now, and my heart brightened up a little again.

I realized that from now on, it is not only Jiaqi who depends on me, but I will also rely on Jiaqi.

With a tired stroll, I closed the door on the first floor and was about to go back to my bedroom to rest.

After so many busy days, I was physically and mentally exhausted.

Just then, there was another knock on the door outside the house.

Who else could it be so late?

Because there are so many guests coming and going these days, I don't know who else will come at this late hour.

Could it be the people who came to me asking for money?

My heart sank immediately, but the next moment, a woman's voice came from outside the room: "Is there anyone, open the door!"

It's a woman's voice I've never heard before, and it sounds like a woman, and I don't know why there are strange women knocking on the door in the middle of the night, but at least it's not here to beg for money, so it should be easier to talk.

To be honest, I was really tired at this point, and I wasn't going to open the door. But because the light in the hall on the first floor was still on, it was embarrassing if I didn't open the door, so I had to pull it open.

The door opened, and to my astonishment, stood a woman in her thirties, with a beautiful face, snow-white skin, curly brown hair, a purple knitwear, and a bag hanging from her left shoulder. This woman is dressed very stylishly, but she gives people a sense of arrogance and hard to get close to.

I frowned, I had hardly seen this woman, and naturally I didn't understand why she suddenly chose this time to visit my house.

"Auntie, are you ......?" I asked, blocking the door.

The gorgeous woman smiled, unceremoniously, and said to me bluntly: "You are Yang Jiandong." I'm not your aunt, I'm your stepmother. ”

When I heard her words, I felt like a bolt from the blue.

But this woman unceremoniously pushed my hand away, walked past me, walked straight into the house, strode into the living room as if she knew my home very well, threw the bag on the coffee table, and sat on the sofa with her buttocks, crossed her legs, and put her hands on the sofa, looking very casual.

She raised a slender eyebrow, and her black, strange eyes looked at me as if she were a child.

The corners of her scarlet lips, which had been painted with an unknown number of layers of lipstick, also curled slightly, as if laughing at my ignorance.

Looking at this "stepmother", I couldn't hold back the anger in my heart.

I'm an introvert, that's true, but that doesn't mean I don't get angry and I don't explode.
