Chapter 60: She's the Runner-up
I lived in the second uncle's house for a week, and the people in the second uncle's family are very good, and the cousins and aunts are also very good. However, Xun Huan always felt that something was missing.
Yesterday, Wang Ding said that he had returned to Hengyang and wanted to use the prize money of the competition to do a big thing. What kind of big thing is it, Xun Huan is really interested. However, now I live in this mountain, and I am insulated from the world.
In the morning, after Xun Huan was woken up by a chicken, he got up to work quickly. I've been busy in the kitchen, making steamed buns, preparing millet porridge, and washing the dishes needed for noon.
He was about to go out to clean the courtyard when he heard a woman's voice.
Lao Xun, look at you, now that you are a lot older, how can you still have the energy to raise this child?
……
Now there is this good opportunity, this man is a brick factory, very rich, the house is built like a villa, that is, a few years ago, his wife passed, has not married, he passed by here that day, and fell in love with your daughter.
My child is still young and still studying!
So what does it matter, he said that he is only in his twenties, and he can provide for your daughter's schooling, and when she is old enough, he will get married.
No, my daughter is too young.
But, Lao Xun, you see that you are so old, you even have to be supported by others, and it would be good to have a good family to accept your family. In the future, you can also go to live in his house, which is much better than living in your brother's house.
But my daughter still has to go to school!
What do girls do when they go to school so much, and in the end they don't want to get married, and when they go to school in the future, it's even more difficult to find a partner. He opened a big brick factory, with an annual income of tens of millions, and many girls dreamed of marrying into his family.
That's not good, Xun Huan's father sighed.
It's also a good idea! Second uncle's voice.
Xun Huan stood at the door, and he didn't dare to come out.
Lao Xun, you don't think about it carefully, you are so old, you are old, you have no money, and you are sick. How can you have the energy to take care of your daughter? She still has to go to high school now, everything has to be spent, how can it work without money, and it's not a matter for you to live in your second uncle's house every day, there is no shortage of money in that person's house, as long as you agree, immediately go to the city to buy a house for you, and you can buy wherever you want.
This one...... Xun Huan's father seemed to be a little moved. This one...... It's still for her to continue studying, right?
Yes, yes, continue to let her study and wait until she is old enough to get married. That's a lot of consideration for you. Girls, it's better to read well than to look good and marry well.
I...... I...... I'm afraid I won't be able to be the master.
It's okay Luo, marriage events, aren't they all the words of the matchmaker of the parents! She was raised by you, and she can't listen to you, and you didn't hurt her, find a good family for her, and save yourself from suffering in the future.
I heard that he is very rare to your daughter, as long as you agree, the first time you give a meeting gift, it is 100,000. I also want to get a gold card for your daughter and spend it with her.
That's a lot of good! The second uncle was next to him.
……
Later, the voice became smaller and smaller, and Xun Huan could barely hear it. Don't know what they're plotting
Another pillar of incense passed. The woman said goodbye happily, and said, "Your family should think about it carefully, so that I can go there and reply to the message."
What is Dad's attitude in the end, Xun Huan is really curious: Will he sell me for money?
At the breakfast table, the tables of several elders are not very natural.
A few people drank porridge with their heads bored, and the sound of snorting made it particularly harsh.
Xun Huan, Dad suddenly said: Dad is so old, if a family wants to adopt you, are you willing, she can pay for your education, and she can also give you pocket money to spend, do you think it's okay?
Xun Huan stared at his father with his eyes, but he didn't speak. She didn't understand that her father had learned to use the word adoption to deceive her, and if she hadn't heard it with her own ears just now, she would have really thought it was adoption.
The second uncle also broke the silence at this time and said: Xun Huan, you have not had a mother since you were a child, and you have been bullied all the time, if you are adopted, you will be able to live a good life in the future. There is food, clothing, shelter, and there are still people who are in pain.
Dad sighed and said: Xun Huan, it's all because I don't have the ability, I'm worried that I won't be able to raise you at the age of eighteen.
The second uncle said very gently: Xun Huan, as elders, we have eaten more salt than you have walked, and we know what kind of situation is best for you and what kind of situation is not good for you.
Xun Huan saw that they said something about the same, and said very resolutely: I don't want others to adopt, I just follow my father, I don't want to eat too much, just eat porridge. When I went to college, I worked part-time to earn tuition.
Oh, girl, it's going to be so hard, and if you toss around for a few years, you'll be too old. The second aunt opened her voice and refuted Xun Huan's words.
Xun Huansuo didn't speak, and let them show all kinds of advantages and analyze all kinds of pros and cons.
In the end, they asked Xun Huan's opinion, but Xun Huan refused without thinking about it.
In the afternoon, the woman brought a man to the second uncle's house, and several adults chatted happily, and a big Mercedes-Benz was parked on the large flat outside the door.
The conditions are really good, and the man is also handsome. The second aunt couldn't help but admire.
If he hadn't met Wang Ding, Xun Huan might have been at the mercy of adults, betraying his hue to marry him, thinking that he could be a parasite and live in sojourn for the rest of his life.
However, after meeting Wang Ding, I have been working hard to make progress and learning. Now she can understand this situation, this is just a gentle trap of the rich, and after a few years, she has no ability to survive at all, and when she has no social skills, it is also the time when she is forced to leave. And, as a woman, why be a parasite?
Dad was really moved when he saw the Mercedes drive by the man and made generous promises. He called Xun Huan to the side alone, discussed and said: Xun Huan, look at it, this person is really good, if you go over, you will definitely not be wronged.
Xun Huan said anxiously: Dad, do you really want me?
It's not that I don't want you, it's for you to live a better life, and besides, Dad also followed.
Dad, have you ever wondered why people are so good to you, and what use value do you have?
No.
Shouldn't you think about why? It's like in today's society, who can guarantee that you will have the value of being used for a lifetime.
What it means, I didn't understand.
If you don't understand, forget it, if you still treat me as a daughter, I'll go back to the garage of the city government later. If you're going to insist on giving me up for adoption, then I'm going to leave here this afternoon and wander outside.
Xun Huan, I'm ...... I...... Didn't mean not to you.
I won't say too much, a person has to rely on his own hands to work hard for his own life, not to live on someone else, he won't let you live in a sojourn one day, where do you go, then it will be older. Xun Huan was a little angry, and what he said was a little aggressive.
Dad was speechless for a while, and after seriously analyzing Xun Huan's words, he said stupidly: Xun Huan, your analysis is also right, the realm is higher than mine, forgive me for being blind, I can't see the future clearly, Dad is wrong, Dad listens to you, let's go back to the garage, as long as you work hard, you can live. Dad said these words more sincerely, and Xun Huan was more satisfied with what he heard. The two of them decided to go back to the garage in the afternoon and make new arrangements.
Returning to the basement, Xun Huan was surprised to find that the gardenia beans had grown so tall, a pure white petal, swaying in the air, and the dark fragrance was frequent.
From a distance, Xun Huan glanced at the garage, and there were a hundred feelings in his heart.
This is a garage for successful people, and then his family immigrated, so this garage was left unsold, because Dad did something very helpful to him, he let Dad help take care of this garage, and for so many years, they have not come back, so, Dad has been living here.
Passing by Wang Ding's house, Xun Huan subconsciously glanced at it. There should be no one in the house, because the glass windows are tightly closed. Wang Ding's family likes a house with good air circulation, so the first thing he does when he gets home is to open the window, Xun Huan is a little disappointed,
Hooking his head to look at the house, there is a musty smell in the house because he has not lived in it for a long time.
The house is too small, two people do a few hours of cleaning, the house seems very clean and comfortable. Xun Huan picked up the Winnie the Pooh with his left hand, picked up the porcelain doll with his right hand, and lay on it beautifully.
I don't know how Lu Zijian and Liu Jiping are doing, I really want to meet them.
took out his mobile phone, Xun Huan made up a text message, and after carefully checking and finding that there were no typos, he pressed the send button.
Soon, Lu Zijian and Liu Jiping replied to the message.
Zijian said: Sister Xun Huan, you are back, can I go to your house to play?
Ji Ping said: Sister Xun Huan, you are back, can I go to your house to play?
Okay, okay, I just came back, you guys come here, let's sit on the stone table by the flower bed in the community, okay, Xun Huan said and walked out.
Dad asked in surprise: Xun Huan, where are you going, pay attention to safety.
It's okay, it's in this neighborhood. Xun Huan found that his father was becoming more and more verbose now.
Sitting on the stone bench gently, after three years, Xun Huan felt like a world away. Once, when other children were playing in the ground, she stood timidly aside; Once, I was so humble that I didn't dare to sit on this stool, for fear of endless gossip; Once, when it was very dark, I could only dare to sit quietly and play alone for a while.
But now, Xun Huan is sitting here, feeling calm and relaxed. Three years of junior high school, after training her mind and exercising her business, she is no longer the ignorant little girl she was yesterday.
The flowers are still those flowers, the trees are still those trees, but, is this girl still the same girl back then? Xun Huan thought like this, and a subtle smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.
Sister Xun Huan, I'm here! Xun Huan followed the voice and looked over, and saw Liu Jiping's good-looking face.
Ji Ping, I can't imagine that you have grown so much taller. Xun Huan said sincerely. And walked over and touched her head.
I don't know, I don't feel anything myself, and some of the clothes in the first grade are unwearable. By the way, Sister Xun Huan, why are you so tall, I stand in front of you, like Snow White and the dwarf.
Which one is the dwarf, at this time, Lu Zijian also came over. Sister Xun Huan, why did you grow so tall.
Xun Huan suddenly felt a little shy, and he didn't eat much, just kept going long and didn't stop.
As soon as Lu Zijian came over, he asked: Sister Xun Huan, are you back to attend the opening ceremony of Brother Wang Ding's gym?
Yes? Xun Huan looked confused.
Liu Jiping immediately added: Wang Ding's brother's gym will open tomorrow, and I heard that there is also a public welfare action, that is, every formal organization against school violence, which is registered at the police station, is free to enroll, and the character and competition are all competitive.
Is there such a thing? Xun Huan said happily: No wonder he said that he wanted to do something very important.
Why, don't you know yet? In the past few years, you went to No. 1 Middle School, and Wang Ding's brother united with the public security system to form an Avengers against school violence. You don't know yet, I'm now the head of this alliance, and Liu Jiping is the secretary and treasurer.
Are you all going to go there for free training?
Yes, he informed us yesterday that this is the most important public welfare action he wants to do in his life. When he was very young, he had this idea, especially when he saw some news reports that school violence had brought two families into decline, he wanted to do this activity, but at that time, he had no power, little influence, lack of funds, and couldn't do it. Now, however, it's different. He is a world champion, he has a bonus as a starting fund, he has time to have team members, and he has someone to support, so in the future, this public welfare action must be carried forward, and I heard that this organization against school violence will be carried out in the countryside, because there are many left-behind children there.
Xun Huan suddenly fell into deep thought. In this world, some people are born thinking about how they can enjoy happiness, how to have a funny life, how to make money, and how to find a position, but how many people look at that group of disadvantaged groups and complain about their unfair treatment!
Seeing that Xun Huan didn't speak, Lu Zijian patted her hand with his hand and said: Sister, I heard that you went straight to the four famous schools, and you don't have to take the exam, right, they also said that you are the head of the radio station and the host of the program, hey, we have to learn from my sister and become a hard-working person like you, and we must also learn from Brother Wang Ding and become an outstanding champion and public welfare person like him.
Just learn from me, let's learn more from Brother Wang Ding, he is really amazing.
Yes, it's really remarkable, I heard that he has only been in the national team for four years, and he has reached this level, I really can't imagine it.
Well, tomorrow's opening is a big deal, I heard that there are still a lot of champions to perform, and I heard that there is a runner-up who will be a coach here for a long time.
Are you sure? That's great.
Lu Zijian, is your dad back? Xun Huan asked with concern. Compared with the first grade, Xun Huan felt that Lu Zijian seemed to be a different person.
I didn't come back, but now a lot of people care about me. Brother Wang Ding often sent messages to encourage me, and I found that I was so happy.
Brother Wang Ding? Message you?
Yes, he has been keeping an eye on the Avengers on campus and communicating closely with his teachers. He knows a lot about the school, and I heard that one of the purposes for him to learn taekwondo back then was to form a systematic and organized Avengers to fight school violence.
That's what he is! Xun Huan exclaimed.
Several people chatted in this pavilion until late before reluctantly leaving.
Early the next morning, Liu Jiping and Lu Zijian appeared at the door of Xun Huan's house.
Let's go, Sister Xun Huan, the staff has already set up the stage.
Xun Huan was very interested, and followed them to the gym. In the large open space in front of the gym, a huge sign was erected there, and the music of Jinbao was playing in the stereo, and the provincial and municipal television stations had stacked their own photographic equipment there early.
Onlookers rushed over from all directions, and all of a sudden, the entire large leisure venue was full. Xun Huan and Liu Jiping squeezed for a long time before they squeezed to the front row and sat there quietly waiting.
At nine o'clock, the show officially began.
Wang Ding and a few boys walked to the stage together, performed a pint of action, and then began to spin stunts, several people stood in different corners, a group of people stood in the middle, one person stood on the shoulders of several people, and lifted a board in the air. Wang Ding flew up, stepped on a teammate, jumped vertically, and quickly flipped in the air, kicking the board.
Immediately afterwards, a very beautiful female team member, with white and tender skin, apricot eyes and round face, and long black hair, is really good-looking and eye-catching. She walked up to the stage, she first bowed politely to everyone, and then began to play a posture, one move and one momentum, vigorous and powerful, and finally, she raised her right leg and put it upright against her head!
It was so shocking, like acrobatics, the audience burst into thunderous applause. The recording and broadcasting staff of the TV station took turns to change the focus and capture the close-ups of the female team members on the stage.
It's so beautiful! How can the skin be so good! Isn't it that practicing these, my body is better, and my skin is better.
Xun Huan also admired the female player's demeanor, but there was a trace of jealousy in her heart for her beauty, and she felt inexplicably strange.
It's so beautiful, it's so good! Liu Jiping and Lu Zijian also praised.
Then, Wang Ding and the female team members performed a taekwonk dance together, with smart music and beautiful movements, which cheered the whole venue. A pair of eye-catching people danced smartly on the stage, and there was a tsk sound off the stage.
Later, a group of Avengers students who oppose school violence were also invited to go up and receive free admission tickets. Everyone present was moved, and when they knew that establishing such an alliance against school violence was one of Wang Ding's dreams since childhood, they all gave him a thumbs up.
The event ended at twelve o'clock. Everyone reluctantly walked on the way home.
Xun Huan asked Liu Jiping and Lu Zijian: The sister on stage today, is she beautiful?
Beautiful, so pretty. I've never seen such a beautiful woman, she's like a fairy.
Oh. I also think it's beautiful. Xun Huan said stupidly.
I heard that she won the runner-up last time, and she was only a little short of the championship.
The runner-up is not bad, very good.
Xun Huan "......"
Sister Xun Huan, why don't you speak?
Kindness? Xun Huan realized that he was distracted. A faint jealousy struck Xun Huan at once, catching her off guard.
It's really beautiful, Xun Huan repeated again. The two children didn't understand the reason, and looked at Xun Huan.
