Chapter 4: Xiao An

What Han Jingyi didn't expect was that Lin Xiaoyue drove to her house at night, and the community where the two lived was not too far away.

Early the next morning, the two dressed up a little, made some breakfast, and drove to Jiaoquan County.

Xiao An's family lives in Lai'an Village, which is not remote, driving south along the S206 provincial highway, about an hour and a half by car, Lai'an Village is somewhere on the side of the road.

Since Xiao An went back, under the secret operation of some people, the construction of Lai'an Village has been quite good. Originally, the construction of the new countryside in Ancun was actually suspected of some tofu scum projects, which had long aroused the dissatisfaction of everyone and caused a lot of trouble. At this time, the government suddenly compromised and said that it would rebuild, and everyone applauded and praised the country's good.

However, Xiao An is used to living in the original house, and the demolition is indeed too troublesome, but he has to give an explanation to the villagers, and a large piece of cement on the windowsill of Uncle Zhang's house next door has fallen off. Seeing his attitude, of course, the contractor knew who the key person was, and immediately decided to take a break from the plot of land next to it, and built two rows of houses with the same building type, but very good quality, which were unconditionally distributed to the villagers one by one, which made everyone happy.

Some moved in immediately, and some decided to sell after careful consideration, after all, although the original house was of poor quality, as long as there was no earthquake, it would not collapse.

It didn't take long for the nearby open space to be surrounded by flower beds, trees were planted a lot, and city-standard garbage cans were put every few steps, and even a few small ponds around the village were opened up and slightly decorated.

The only thing that makes the villagers dissatisfied is that the primary school that was originally built at the head of the village and has good facilities and appearance has inexplicably stopped operating, you must know that this primary school costs millions of dollars, and it has only been used for less than a year, and it looks like a new one from the outside. The students had to go to school in the town, and although it was not too far by bus, it was also very inconvenient to go back and forth.

Parked the car, the two went straight to Xiao An's house, when the door of his house was barely closed during the day, Han Jingyi was very familiar with this place, and walked through the lobby to the backyard.

"Mother-in-law, are you busy?"

"Hello mother-in-law!"

There are many potted plants in the yard, and the flower pots are very interesting, there are porcelain jars, there are wooden barrels, and there is even a rice cooker without a lid. There is also a large pond dug near the wall, and many large fish that are not ornamental swim in it.

Under the bright sunshine was a very kind old woman, although she was in her early eighties, she was in good spirits, her eyes were bright, she did not look old at all, and she was shaking from time to time with a large sieve in her hand.

"Alas, it's quiet!" The old grandmother put down the sieve and said kindly: "Not busy, not busy, what are you busy with, I will choose these mung beans and cook some mung bean porridge for An'er to eat, how delicious are the mung beans, you say." ”

Grandma looked at Lin Xiaoyue and said happily: "And you, this girl, is called Xiaoyue, eat here at noon, and I'll go to the vegetable garden to get some small greens later, you can't eat it in a big city!" ”

"Oh, okay!" Lin Xiaoyue looked very well-behaved at this time, she raised her thumb and praised: "Your old memory is really good, and your body is also very good!" I look at Xiao An, I inherited your excellent genes. ”

"What's the inheritance, looking at it is twenty-four, and I don't want to find a daughter-in-law, I nest at home every day, you talk." The mother-in-law looked at Han Jingyi, shook her head and said, "Jingjing, you two have been seven or eight years, I think you two are quite suitable, you can talk about it!" ”

"Mother-in-law!"

At this time, a head suddenly poked out of the window on the second floor, and he shouted with a crooked mouth: "Okay, okay, you two can come up if you want to come up." ”

Seven or eight years? Lin Xiaoyue glanced at her red-faced sister suspiciously, and nodded thoughtfully.

"Hehe, then mother-in-law, we'll go up first." Han Jingyi's face was also a little hot, and she pulled Lin Xiaoyue, who was in a daze, towards the stairs.

"You don't know anything, alasβ€”" Grandma sighed, and picked up the sieve again and shook it, but her eyes were a little contemplative, and she didn't know what she thought.

Xiao An's room is very simple, with a bed, a computer, and a large cabinet combined with wardrobe bookshelves.

The walls are covered with maps and painted with colorful markers. At this time, Xiao An was browsing the web quickly, and if he looked closely, it was a website where information on missing children was collected from all over the world, and there were seventeen or eighteen of such a site, and the tabs were densely opened.

"I didn't eat it, come on, this is the kang dumplings I bought for you on the side of the road." Han Jingyi put a bag on Xiao An's table, sat on the bed unceremoniously, and took one in her mouth first.

"Uh-huhβ€”"

Xiao An sat up straight, stretched his waist, and could hear the crackling sound of his arm and waist, it seemed that he had been sitting for a long time, he nodded and smiled: "I really feel a little hungry when you say it." ”

He stood up, took a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth, and smiled at Lin Xiaoyue: "Miss, don't you eat a little?" ”

Lin Xiaoyue snorted coldly and glared at him, it was not the first time she had contact with Xiao An, she was not an opponent every time she quarreled, and she didn't bother to open her mouth now, she only attacked with her eyes.

Xiao An is dressed very casually, not tall, but not short, about 1.75 meters, wearing a pair of cotton slippers with slag on his feet, a pair of sweatpants with white edges on a black background, and a very wide down jacket with a hat.

What a freak! Obviously not good-looking, how can I look and feel a little more handsome than last time, Lin Xiaoyue secretly complained in her heart, but she couldn't help but say: "Can you take off your hat, it's all April, and you're still wearing a down jacket?" ”

"That's not going to work." Xiao An said with a smile: "I haven't washed my hair for a few days, and those with oily hair can stir-fry." If you put it down, your image will be completely ruined. ”

"Do you still have an image?" Lin Xiaoyue sneered, walked to the window and opened the curtains: "What are you doing when the room is so dark, I see, you have a ghost in your heart!" ”

"I only have you in my heart." Xiao An raised his eyebrows and said in a rather deep voice. His voice is pure, and his intonation is much slower than the average person, which always makes people feel very special.

"You!" Lin Xiaoyue pouted, "Sister, you see him teasing me, he is not a big pervert, he has no skin and no face." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in you, I like your sister like this." Xiao An pinched his chin and looked at Lin Xiaoyue carefully, and said very seriously: "You are also beautiful, but I am not interested in thin bamboo poles, maybe I can consider gaining weight." ”

"Who do you say is the skinny bamboo pole!" Lin Xiaoyue was immediately unhappy, crossed her waist and said, "Don't think that your cheap brother-in-law can talk about me casually, hum!" I was wrong just now, you haven't inherited any of your mother-in-law's excellent genes! ”

"Okay, okay, don't make a fuss." Han Jingyi took a tissue to wipe her mouth, she had expected it in her heart, shook her head and smiled, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Xiao An was picked up by her mother-in-law, how can there be such a thing as heredity?" ”

"Huh?" Lin Xiaoyue was stunned, looking at Xiao An's very tired eyes, and suddenly felt embarrassed.

"Wait a minute, I'll wash my hair!" Xiao An waved his hand and walked straight out of the room.

"Xiao An is adopted... So Xiao Yuan is the granddaughter of her mother-in-law? Lin Xiaoyue was confused, and when she saw Xiao An enter the bathroom, she asked in a low voice.

"No, it's true that Xiao Yuan was adopted, but it wasn't adopted by her mother-in-law." After Han Jingyi finished speaking, she walked outside the door and asked Xiao An softly if she wanted to wash his hair herself, but she was refused.

"What does that mean?" When Lin Xiaoyue saw Han Jingyi return to the room, she was puzzled, and then she squeezed her eyebrows again, "You still say that he is not a cheap brother-in-law, tsk, I have known him for seven or eight years, and I have to help others wash their hair!" Classmates? Hum! You're making a fool of your sister! ”

Han Jingyi's face was slightly red, and she didn't explain anymore, and said: "As the saying goes, when I was seven years old, Xiao An was still an orphan, and he couldn't maintain food and clothing, but he could take in another child who was abandoned on a rainy night, begging and stealing, in this indifferent world, using his weak strength to try to make another lonely and helpless life survive, this is a person's character, it is the essence of a person's pure goodness, you and I may not have it." ”

"It's not the plot of a novel, it's not a story I made up, it wasn't until I was ten years old that my mother-in-law and grandfather took them in." Han Jingyi paused for a while, and then said, "And grandpa unfortunately passed away when Xiao An was a sophomore in high school. ”

"Xiao An, he, he... But... But Tang Yuan... It's missing! ”

"No wonder ~ No wonder ~ " Lin Xiaoyue's eyes were slightly red, and she murmured softly, as a rich daughter who had no worries about food and clothing, it was hard to imagine what kind of hardships Xiao An had to go through to support Tang Yuan, and finally Xiao An went to college, and through extraordinary efforts and intelligence, he actually earned nearly one million assets in just three years, becoming a model in the school, and also making the family live a good life, but I never thought that at this time... Xiaoyuan was on her way home from school... Missing!

God, it's really unfair to Xiao An!

"It is said that the mother-in-law does have a granddaughter, but she is also missing!" After Han Jingyi finished speaking, she could only be silent, although there were a thousand words, but she could only turn into a light sigh.

How so?! Lin Xiaoyue looked at her mother-in-law from the window, and her mood became heavier and heavier.

In fact, Xiao An didn't know Han Jingyi's background until now, although he knew that she was either rich or expensive, his attitude towards her had never changed, as always.

In fact, due to family conflicts, Han Jingyi was smuggled by her mother from the provincial capital to live in Jiaoquan County, and Xiao An met in Jiaoquan Middle School, from the beginning of high school to the third year of college, counting six years of classmates, plus these four years, the two have known each other, and it has been ten years before they know it.

Decade...

Han Jingyi sighed lightly, she still remembers Xiao An's sudden stagnant expression when she received the call that Xiao Yuan was missing, and it was the first time Han Jingyi saw Xiao An's face with a panicked expression, he went crazy, and left the university with only a mobile phone, in the past four years, Xiao An has been looking day and night, and the missing person notices are posted all over the streets and alleys, even if Han Jingyi let her father, who is very energetic in the province, help to find it, but unfortunately the little girl is like evaporating from the world, and she can't find the slightest clue.

It's been four years, even though Xiao Yuan has been declared dead and even her household registration has been cancelled in accordance with the law, Xiao An has no intention of giving up at all, and has always stubbornly searched, so she has snubbed Han Jingyi a lot.

But Han Jingyi didn't blame Xiao An for this, there are few people in this world who know Xiao An better than her, she understands very well what Xiao Yuan means in Xiao An's heart, that is almost half of his life!

"Thin bamboo pole, are you crying? What's wrong! Is there anything unhappy about it that makes me happy? Xiao An walked from outside the door, the weather has been sunny in the past two days, and the warm sun has reflected Xiao An's wet hair into gold, and even his smile has warmed up, perhaps because the sun is good, Lin Xiaoyue's little face seems to be a little ruddy.

Now it seems that the only drawback of this man is that his mouth can move, and it is perfect when sewn up!

The tenderness and pity that was provoked in Lin Xiaoyue's heart suddenly dissolved like ice and snow, and said with a dark face: "If you don't speak, we can still be good friends!" ”

Han Jingyi looked at Lin Xiaoyue, then at Xiao An, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, you two always quarrel when you meet, by the way, have you heard of the recent Mijia Company's virtual realm?" ”

"I heard that the defending title was bought, and I came back from country Y two days ago, so I have to get one." Xiao An took out a hair dryer from the cabinet, thought about it and put it back, lowered his head and replied, "What, a million games, don't you tell me you bought it too?" ”

"Well, Yueyue bought it too." Han Jingyi rubbed Xiao An's hair and said with a smile: "Have you ever understood?" ”

"You guys are such tyrants!" Xiao An coughed and said, "There's a little, it's quite interesting, but I don't have time to play, and I don't have that spare money." ”

Han Jingyi knew that he would say this, and giggled: "I didn't let you play either, I just want to ask you what you think." ”

Opinion? Xiao An smiled and said, "I haven't played again, what can I think?" However, I always found the game to be designed for a strange purpose, and it didn't seem to be for making money. ”

Lin Xiaoyue pouted and snorted, "Then you say, what's strange." ”

"Isn't it strange enough that it's not for money?" Xiao An was a little stunned, and asked rhetorically: "Sima Qian said that the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. The king of a thousand times, the prince of ten thousand families, is still poor, isn't it strange enough not to be for money? ”

Xiao An stretched his waist and continued: "You guys just play casually, I heard that the word of mouth exploded, you have played the void, and you have been killed if you don't have fun, right?" Is that an exaggeration? ”

Seeing the two nodding, Xiao An laughed: "Even you all say so, it seems that this game is really not simple, players with handless and brainless hands should focus on participating, shopping in the game, talking about life with NPCs, talking about ideals, just riding horses and playing in the mountains and rivers, I look at the main quest, the difficulty is absolutely heavenly, and it is not interesting to receive it!" ”

"Xiao An, why are you talking so ugly!" Lin Xiaoyue glared at him dissatisfiedly and said angrily.

"Why are you so excited, I didn't say anything about you, inexplicable." Xiao An looked confused, and stroked Han Jingyi's hair behind her ears, "You don't react when you see Jingjing, you have a ghost in your heart like this." ”

"You!" Lin Xiaoyue was angry, and she had the heart to say that I only have you in my heart, but she couldn't open her mouth, so she could only stomp her feet hard to vent.

"And what are they trying to do?" Han Jingyi had been listening silently, and only spoke at this moment, which also eased the atmosphere slightly.

"Who knows?" Xiao An skimmed his eyes, didn't answer, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that Mijia is using alien technology, maybe they are selecting excellent earth genes through the virtual realm?" Isn't it all written in science fiction? ”

What alien technology! Foolish! Han Jingyi glanced at him, but did not speak, she had seen this many times, every time this guy wanted to avoid something, he would lead the topic like this, this guy might have really guessed something.
