Hong Xiao left, holding a bunch of packed barbecue in his hand, which was forcibly given to him by Father Lin.

Hong Xiao did not pretentiously give money, let alone mention the matter of paying, this simple man repaid Hong Xiao's kindness with his own actions.

After Hong Xiao returned home, the nanny Li Guilan hugged Xiao Diandian, as well as Yu Linglong and Shen Luomin, all sitting on the sofa in the living room and watching TV.

As soon as Hong Xiao entered the house, everyone's eyes flew over.

Hong Xiao clearly saw a trace of relief in the eyes of Yu Linglong and Shen Luomin, thinking about it, they had been worried about their safety.

As for Xiao Diandian, when he saw his father coming back, he flew into Hong Xiao's arms, showing his dependence on his father to the fullest.

"Be smaller, and see what Dad brought you back?" Hong Xiao raised the barbecue in his hand.

"Ah, it smells so good, Dad is so nice." Dian couldn't wait to take the barbecue and ran back to the sofa.

Since seeing the unusualness of the little ones, Hong Xiao no longer looks at the dots with the eyes of normal children.

This little guy is cute in all other aspects, and he has no problem eating so late.

Shen Luomin saw that there was something to eat, so he also came over and shared the delicious food with Xiao Diandian, while Yu Linglong was as cold as ever, just glanced at Hong Xiao, didn't speak, and turned around and went upstairs.

At this time, the nanny Li Guilan also discovered that the relationship between Hong Xiao and Yu Linglong was not ordinary, the people in this villa, plus Hong Yuyan, the relationship seemed to be a little complicated!

Soon, a large bag of barbecue was wiped out by Xiao Dian and Shen Luomin.

After eating, he snuggled up in Hong Xiao's arms, and his little face was full of happiness.

……

Early the next morning, Hong Xiao was once again woken up by a little bit of hunger. It seems that after the little dot came, Hong Xiao was not the first person to get up in the villa.

After making some food for Xiaodian, Hong Xiao actually received a call from Lin Ran.

This was the first time Lin Ran had called Hong Xiao.

It turned out that after Father Lin went back last night, the more he thought about what Hong Xiao had done, the more grateful he became.

He felt that a barbecue could not repay Hong Xiao's kindness at all, so he asked Lin Ran to invite Hong Xiao to be a guest at home.

In fact, being a guest is a superficial article, and Father Lin wants to know Hong Xiao's true thoughts.

Father Lin wanted to match Hong Xiao and his daughter, but he didn't know what Hong Xiao thought, especially because his conditions were very poor, and he was worried that Hong Xiao would not accept it.

So if Hong Xiao comes to the house as a guest today, he can also observe Hong Xiao's reaction.

Lin Ran didn't know why, he simply thought that his father wanted to thank Hong Xiao, so he called Hong Xiao early.

Hong Xiao naturally had no problem, and discussed with Lin Ran on the phone, leaving home on time at ten o'clock, and he should be able to reach Lin Ran's house in half an hour.

Thinking about it now, it seems that Hong Xiao and Lin Ran have changed from strangers to friends in a matter of a few days.

Fate is such a thing, it's really wonderful, of course, I also have to thank Jin Zicheng and Zhao Song for helping in the middle.

When the time came to half past nine, after Hong Xiao greeted his family, he was about to leave, after all, when he went to someone else's house, he had to bring some gifts.

But this time, Xiao Dian must follow Hong Xiao, no matter how Li Guilan persuades, it is useless.

In the end, Hong Xiao still couldn't resist the little bit of tears and compromised.

After Hong Xiao left with a little bit, Shen Luomin at the dining table quietly said to Yu Linglong beside him: "Linglong, do you know where Hong Xiao is going?" ”

"How do I know?" Yu Linglong's face was indifferent.

"I know! Would you like to hear it? Shen Luomin said with a wink.

Yu Linglong didn't seem to care at all: "You dead girl, you can say it if you want to, just say it if you don't want to say it." ”

"Oh!" Yu Linglong's reaction made Shen Luomin's interest greatly reduced, and he sighed, "Since you don't want to know, I won't tell you that Hong Xiao went to Lin Ran's house as a guest." ”

After speaking, the little girl lowered her head and sneered, secretly paying attention to Yu Linglong's reaction from time to time.

As soon as she heard that Hong Xiao was going to Lin Ran's house, Yu Linglong felt a little uncomfortable somehow, and lost interest in the food in front of her, so she stopped eating it after two bites hastily.

"Xiaomin, I won't eat it, you can eat it yourself." After speaking, Yu Linglong put down the dishes and chopsticks and ran to the sofa to watch TV.

Shen Luomin looked at Yu Linglong as she tried her best to pretend that nothing happened, and snickered while eating.

……

Urban villages are a unique phenomenon in the process of urbanization in mainland China.

In the process of rapid expansion of the built-up area of the city, the rural areas that were originally distributed around the city were incorporated into the territory of the city, surrounded by rows of high-rise buildings, and became "villages in the city".

The density, longevity, poor quality and poor sanitation of bungalows are the biggest characteristics of urban villages.

Of course, not all of the urban villages are bungalows, but there are also some buildings, but most of these buildings are three-storey or below, and all of them are used for rent.

Hong Xiao's previous home was in an urban village, but it was much better than the urban village where Lin Ran's family was located.

It is said that poor mountains and bad waters produce bad people, and it is indeed a miracle that such a beautiful girl as Lin Ran can grow in this environment.

"Daddy, where is this? It's dirty. Xiao Dian said that it was dirty, but he didn't dislike it at all, and looked around on tiptoe.

"Dad will take you to meet an aunt, a very beautiful aunt." Hong Xiao's car couldn't drive in, it was parked on the street outside, and he could only walk in with a small dot in one hand and a gift in the other.

"Beautiful? Can't you call your sister? My mom said that the beautiful aunt was going to call her sister! Dotted asked, a little puzzled.

"No, you have to call Auntie." Hong Xiao said.

"Oh, well, Diandian likes pretty aunts the most, just like Mom." Xiao Dian said happily.

Soon, Hong Xiao found Jinyang Hutong in Lijiazhuang, where Lin Ran's home was located.

There are not many decent cars in the entire urban village, and the thirty or fifty thousand are already very good.

Hong Xiao pulled a little bit and followed the house number to Lin Ran's house.

No. 18, Jinyang Hutong, Lijiazhuang.

This is it.

Looking at the dilapidated far gate in front of him, he could guess that the conditions of Lin Ran's family might be very poor, even in this urban village, the conditions of Lin Ran's family should be low.

Hong Xiao knocked on the door, and after a while, Lin Ran's voice sounded: "Who?" ”

"It's me, Hong Xiao......" Hong Xiao said.

The people inside the courtyard gate obviously quickened their pace, and soon, Lin Ran opened the door, saw Hong Xiao, and smiled: "It's here!" ”

"Yes, here we are." Hong Xiao picked up Diandian and said to her, "Diandian, this is your Aunt Lin Ran, call Auntie quickly." ”

Xiao Dian nodded obediently and shouted, "Auntie is good, Auntie is so beautiful." ”

"Hello, you're so cute." Lin Ran didn't know who Xiao Diandian was, but he was very happy to be praised for her beauty by such a young child.

"Xiao Ran, is Hong Xiao here?" As he was talking, Father Lin's voice came from the house.

Lin Ran's house is a bungalow, a very old one, with red brick walls, wooden windows, and rusty iron door panels.

"Well, it's Hong Xiao here." Lin Ran's voice was very flat, but he could still hear a hint of joy.

"Hong Xiao is here! Quick, get inside! Father Lin walked out of the house happily and hurriedly greeted.

He kept staring at Hong Xiao's face, others would think that he was polite, but in fact, he was observing the change in Hong Xiao's face.

If Hong Xiao expressed some dissatisfaction, or dislike, Father Lin would definitely not be happy.

Fortunately, Hong Xiao's living conditions have been very poor since he was a child, and he has experienced too much in the past few years abroad, and he has slept in the jungle for I don't know how many nights, so how can he care about the quality of the environment.

Seeing Hong Xiao's indifferent face, Father Lin was so happy in his heart!

It seems that Hong Xiao is not mistaken!

"Uncle." Hong Xiao called someone, and then said to Diandian: "This is Grandpa Lin, say hello to Grandpa Lin." ”

Dian said obediently: "Grandpa Lin is good." ”

"Huh!" Father Lin agreed, and then noticed that there was a cute little girl in Hong Xiao's arms.

Father Lin beckoned Hong Xiao into the house, and then said to Hong Xiao: "Hong Xiao, there is nothing to eat at home, so I just made a few small dishes, which have been prepared, and I will prepare some barbecue for you." ”

No wonder Hong Xiao saw that all the barbecue tools were put up in the yard just now, and it turned out that they were prepared for himself.

Hong Xiao was moved in his heart, it must have been Father Lin who saw that he liked to eat barbecue last night, so he specially prepared it today.

This is the only thing that the simple father Lin can do for himself.

Suddenly, the smell of the barbecue outside became excited, and said happily: "Dad, it's so fragrant!" ”

With this words, Lin Ran, the person in the room, and Father Lin at the door all noticed Diandian's address to Hong Xiao, and they were stunned for a moment.

When Hong Xiao saw it, he knew that they had misunderstood, and he had to open his mouth to explain the matter.

I don't know why, after listening to Hong Xiao's explanation, Lin Ran and Father Lin's hearts were relaxed, if Hong Xiao really had such a big daughter, they really didn't know what to do.

Father Lin continued to be busy, and Lin Ran was talking to Hong Xiao in the house.

With a little bit of this pistachio, the two of them didn't feel embarrassed, and they talked very easily.

Hong Xiao keenly noticed that on a small table in the room, there were some daily necessities and a few photos.

There are three people in the photo, among which the man is Lin's father, and the child should be Lin Ran, when he was so young, Lin Ran was very beautiful.

As for the other woman, it should be Lin Ran's mother.

Seeing Hong Xiao paying attention to the photos at home, Lin Ran took the initiative to speak; "This is the only family photo we have, and my mom left me when I was very young.

In my memory, my mother left very few pictures, and every time I think of my mother, I look at the photos.

Dad said that Mom is a very kind and virtuous woman, and being able to marry Mom is the greatest happiness in his life. ”

Hong Xiao sighed a little, Lin Ran's life experience is really unfortunate.

But why not!

"To be honest, I'm quite envious of you, at least I've seen what my mother looks like, at least I've had my father accompany you, I haven't even seen my parents."

Lin Ran raised his head suddenly, looking at Hong Xiao's lonely appearance, his heart was blocked.

It turns out that this man who seems to be strong and resolute and full of magic has such an unknown side.

"I'm sorry, I don......'t know," Lin Ran said apologetically.

Hong Xiao waved his hand and said, "After so many years, I have long been used to it, it's nothing, is my uncle's barbecue almost ready, let's go out and have a look." ”

After speaking, Hong Xiao walked out of the house.

Lin Ran looked at Hong Xiao's pretended to be free and easy, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Order this snack small, and when I saw that there was something delicious, I forgot all the others, and first went to Father Lin's to ask for a string of chicken wings and nibbled on it.

Just when Hong Xiao was also attracted by the aroma and wanted to eat first, in the alley outside the courtyard, there was a sudden noisy noise.
