On the way to the gleaning place, the driver of Zhou had just entered the suburban road, and the wheels ran over the gravel and made a "clattering" sound. The further you go in, the potholes and the bumps are terrible.

The gleaning house is located next to a ruined house on the outskirts of the city. If it weren't for your own driver, it is estimated that no taxi would want to come here. Because no one eats and runs in such a desolate place, carrying people bumpy away, and coming back empty of dirty bodies. The road is secluded, not only can you not run a second business there, but you also have to take the car wash fee, if you count the expensive fare, customers feel that it is not worth it.

The reason why Jiang Xiaomian and Wu Yuanhao are neighbors and playmates is because the Jiang family lived in this private house back then.

Now, after years of torture, the houses here are old doors of rotten wood and small buckles of firewood, and small snails can be seen crawling lonely next to the mossy bricks under the weeds.

The car continued to drive forward and stopped in a courtyard. The shelter looked a little more habitable, though the exterior walls were almost blackened by the wind and the sand and rain wipers.

"It's Sister Wu, and Sister Xiaomian... They're back—" A girl of almost ten years of age, who had been leaning against the iron pole at the gate of the gleaning lodge and watching, saw them coming, ran into the house and cheered, took the key, and ran out again, the running girl, whose name was British.

More than a dozen children in the back also came out with Daying, each calling at the gate, their faces full of joy to see them.

Daying took the key and opened the iron bar, she was the oldest of the children, helping Wu Yuanhao lead the younger siblings.

"Uncle Zhou, come, move things here."

Those children gathered around Jiang Xiaomian, but they actually knew that they didn't open the package, and it was full of food, clothing, learning and play. When every child sees Sister Xiaomian, they know that something good is coming.

But these children don't know that when Jiang Xiaomian is as old as them, they will also take their own things to share with their brothers and sisters in the gleaners. But at that time, it was just a loaf of bread, or a few wild fruits, and it would never have been as rich as it is now.

Suddenly, the black clouds in the sky overwhelmed the city.

Driver Zhou urged: "Miss, it's time for us to go, it looks like it's going to rain, and it's going to be dark later, and the road is getting harder to walk..."

Wu Yuan listened to it well, and he didn't keep it, and gently urged Jiang Xiaomian to go home: "Go, you have to go back to school tomorrow!"

"I'm leaving, and when something happens, you can call me." Before leaving, Jiang Xiaomian told them.

"Hmm." Wu Yuanhao nodded.

Jiang Xiaomian returned to Xian's house and saw that the meal had already been set up at home.

"Mom, my sister is back..."Koizumi was the first to see Jiang Xiaomian.

Xian Xiuyuan also followed Xiaoquan's voice, put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "I'm back, come, it's time to eat."

Jiang Xiaomian looked at it, didn't see Xian Xinchen, and asked, "Where is Brother Xinchen?"

"He's in the company!"

When Jiang Xiaomian heard that he was working overtime, he inevitably felt a little distressed in his heart, and he stopped talking, bowing his head and eating sullenly.

Bai Shengxue came up with a soup pot on the side: "This kid has worked too hard for the company." Not to mention other days, I called him from noon on Saturdays or weekends, and I came back so late every time. ”

Just as they were chatting, Xian Xinchen came back from outside

How did Cao Cao get there, he was generally nagged by others. So, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

Jiang Xiaomian put down the chopsticks in his hand: "I'm full, you eat slowly."

Passing by Xian Xinchen with a strange face, he didn't even say hello, and went upstairs directly.

Seeing this, Xian Xinchen reluctantly smiled and asked, "What's wrong with Xiaomian, you went up when you saw me coming?"

"I want to ask you, have you offended her? Go back and wait for me to beat you! Xian Xiuyuan smiled.

"What's the matter, she may be tired, she seems to be thin and black in military training these days!" Bai Shengxue said.

Xian Xinchen sat down to eat, and Xian's father remembered and said: "I saw in the newspaper that the completed real estate has been greedy for the land on the outskirts of the city, and I heard that it is going to be demolished and relocated to a big boss to open a factory."

"Which side of the city?" Bai Shengxue asked casually.

"It's the outskirts of Erxi Road..."

When Bai Shengxue heard Xian Xiuyuan say this, she couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Oh, there are a group of children living there, which are used to build factories, how bad it is to affect them!"

They didn't see Bai Shengxue's worries, because it was the old place, how could Bai Shengxue easily mention it.

"Xinchen, why don't you go over tomorrow to take a look, that group of people can't wait to turn into vampires to squeeze the villagers dry." Xian Xiuxuan thought about it and spoke.

Xian Xinchen inadvertently agreed, not caring at all what his father said. The rain outside the window suddenly poured down, and the sound of the rain made people restless, and his mind was still in the back of Jiang Xiaomian who had just gone upstairs.

Tonight, many people couldn't sleep.

Jiang Xiaomian and Xian Xinchen still didn't say a word. Xian Xinchen's memory has always known what the separation between the two is.

In the year of Jiang Xiaomian's high school, Xian Xinchen went to help her go through the transfer procedures, accompanied her to pack her things, and the two passed by the library when they left school with a box of books.

Jiang Xiaomian stopped by to return the books to the library, and Xian Xinchen sat under the kapok tree outside the library and waited. He glanced at the bookcase he had brought all the way, and wanted to pull out a book and wait for Jiang Xiaomian, but saw a picture book.

Xian Xinchen smiled, because this was Jiang Xiaomian's meeting gift to her when he entered Xian's house. Over the years, she has been kept long enough.

opened the painting book, but Xian Xinchen saw what he didn't want to see the most, and that thing was the person Jiang Xiaomian was drawing.

The sketch on the first page is very naïve, torn from somewhere else and pasted on it, with a date on the bottom, drawn very early. The picture shows a little boy running towards the girl with a lunch box.

Xian Xinchen knew at a glance that this painting was the story of Xian Xinchen and Jiang Xiaomian who first met on the construction site when they were children.

Then turned over, on every page behind, Xian Xinchen saw his own sketch portrait, full of a whole book, the intention and affection between the strokes, and the decent outline, these were all painted by Jiang Xiaomian when he grew up over the years.

Xian Xinchen is at least six or seven years older than Jiang Xiaomian, so he is more sensitive and mature than Jiang Xiaomian. Between them, it is impossible.

That day, Xian Xinchen did something that only he knew, he secretly threw the sketchbook in the corner of the bench while Jiang Xiaomian had not come down from the library.

If this sketchbook is seen by the family, it will be such an embarrassing and serious thing. Xian Xinchen thinks that he has done a very rational job, and now, Jiang Xiaomian still thinks that he was lost on the plane or in the taxi.

You can lose your sketchbook, but you can't lose your feelings. Xian Xinchen vaguely felt that Jiang Xiaomian's feelings for him were terrible.

Because, if you are a blood relative, you are not legally allowed to get married, and if it is passed on, it is also unacceptable to my father and Aunt Bai.

Xian Xinchen has never been moved by Jiang Xiaomian, for the fact that she is his sister, it is too deep in his heart, he doesn't need to suffer, the person who suffers is Jiang Xiaomian.

After all, there will be a long time from now on to live under the same roof, and every time Xian Xinchen faces her, he has to pretend that nothing happened, and the more this happens, the more awkward he becomes.

The pouring rain outside the window made people feel more and more panicked, "With such a noisy rain, I don't know how Xiaomian can sleep." Xian Xinchen gasped.

The reason why Jiang Xiaomian avoided Xian Xinchen was because she noticed that Xian Xinchen had been in the circle of friends around her, emphasizing that he was her brother.

For Xian Xinchen, this is an indifferent fact, but for Jiang Xiaomian, it is a helpless fact.

Jiang Xiaomian was worried and couldn't sleep.

Jiang Wanguan only held the note left by Han Feiran during the day, lying on the bed and recalling his handsome and glowing appearance when he presided over the freshman activities, and he spoke fluently, which seemed to be an aspiring young man. Besides, now that he has found money, the more he thinks about it, the more he has a good impression of him.

She got up, picked up her phone, and sent a message to the number on the note.

Han Feiran, who was half-asleep, heard a text message ringing on his mobile phone, and when he got up to look at it, it was an unfamiliar message:

"Hello, I'm Jiang Wanguan, thank you for picking up my wallet today."

After receiving this, Han Feiran was so happy that he made a noise on the old wooden bed at home, and held his mobile phone while thinking about how to reply.

"Thank you for today's work in the flower shop? Such an important thing can't be so hasty, you have to treat it in person and thank you! Han Feiran had all kinds of thoughts in his heart.

Han Feiran treats girls as shy as Xiang Dongyang treats sketch girls who are just beginning to fall in love.

He simply boldly let go and replied: "My name is Han Feiran, a junior in the law department, I like you a few times, can I get to know you?" ”

Han Feiran clicked send after typing, and carefully saved Jiang Wanwan's number, for fear that it would disappear automatically.

Jiang Wanguan was naturally a little happy after receiving such a text message.

There are many boys who like Jiang Wanguan in high school, Han Feiran is the most bold, straightforward and outstanding, Jiang Wanguan was immediately very proud, "It seems that I am also very charming!"

Later, Han Feiran asked Jiang Wanguan about his preferences, and Jiang Wanguan responded one by one. She thought to herself that this was a suitor who had come to her door, and that she was still a good suitor.

The next morning, on the potholed road of Erxi Road, a car was parked, and because the wheels were pitted, a group of people cursed rudely from time to time.

"Damn the rain, it rained all night, shit! Is there any treasure on this road? Someone dug a big pit to grind people!"

"This place is remote, why did you get such a drudgery, boss?"

The three or five of them complained to each other, and the car broke down again at this time, and they were stuck in a yellow pit with thin mud and couldn't get out.

"Damn, this broken car should be scrapped!"

"Hey, boss, did you say that the orphanage is easy to talk to?" One of the boys said as he handed over the tool.

After a while, a bully man with a gold necklace and tattoos crawling all over his arms and arms put away his tools from under the car and threatened: "It's not even an orphanage there, let's just threaten it in the past, maybe they won't even have to pay the money, and they will get out!" ”

"Look at the car, can it start?"

One of them got into the car and tried it: "Okay!"

"Then don't get in the car quickly, let's go!"

They drove on, and after crossing the yellow mud road, they came to the door of the gleaning house.

Daying walked out of the door, spreading out the quilt, and suddenly saw this group of people standing in a row at the door.

"Little girl, open the door!"

They saw Daying come out and rudely kick the barrage and scream.

Daying was frightened by this scene, the door couldn't withstand such a toss, and it wouldn't be good if it fell apart, so she hurriedly ran in to find Wu Yuanhao.

When Wu Yuanhao went out to see, he opened the door, and a group of children saw these three or five big men, all hiding behind Yuanhao, "Sister Wu, I'm afraid..."

The leader said: "Little girl, don't be afraid, my uncle is here to send you money!" ”

Wu Yuan saw their dress, either bandits or hooligans, and asked fearlessly, "What are you doing here?"

The group of people saw that the person in charge was a yellow-haired girl, where did they take it seriously, and raised their toes: "This land belongs to us to build a real estate contract, and the tiles and houses here will be demolished soon, you can move away!"

Wu Yuan heard it well, and hurriedly retorted and reprimanded: "I have the title deed, you dare to move!"

"Haha, we've inquired a long time ago, you pull the owner of the deed out of the loess, maybe our brothers will be scared immediately!" The Overlord laughed and said that he had extinguished the last vestiges of their defenses.

Wu Yuanhao gave Daying a look, and Daying knew what he meant, and quietly slipped into the house.

In Xian's house, Jiang Xiaomian was about to go out, when her mobile phone rang, it was Wu Yuanhao and they called.

"Sister Xiaomian, come quickly!"

"Daying, what's wrong?" Jiang Xiaomian knew something was wrong when she heard her hurried voice, and hurriedly asked.

"Sister Xiaomian, there are a few hateful murderers who are coming to drive us away."

Jiang Xiaomian suddenly glanced at the newspaper that Xian's father casually put on the table last night, and the words "built real estate construction and renovation in the suburbs of the second west" were eye-catching.

"Okay, I know, it's okay, don't worry, I want to find a way, I'll come right away." Saying that, he hung up the phone and hurriedly went to find Xian Xiuyuan, but Uncle Xian was not at home at this time.

Jiang Xiaomian had no choice but to knock on Xian Xinchen's door.

Xian Xinchen opened the door, looking at her appearance, she didn't know what was going on: "Xiaomian, what's wrong?"

"Brother Xinchen, can you think of an idea to stop the demolition of the suburbs of Erxi City, that group of people is simply too domineering, they seek personal gain, and they will definitely not compensate much!"

Xian Xinchen felt a little helpless in the face of Jiang Xiaomian's request: "Why have I never heard you say that you have anything to do with that side, what's wrong?"

"There's a gleanyard in that area, and a bunch of homeless kids live there..."

It turned out that Xian Xinchen didn't know where the Jiang family lived, let alone that there was a gleaning place there, otherwise Shengxing Real Estate would be fine every minute if he intervened in the matter.

Suddenly, I heard that I had heard such a thing somewhere, yes! Xian Xinchen remembered that his father had instructed him last night.

"Let's go!" Xian Xinchen pulled Jiang Xiaomian out of the door.

A group of people were frozen in the gleaning house, and Wu Yuanhao ran into the house with the children, locked the door, and refused to come out.

"Boss, what if they don't come out?" A few people smashed the door, and the children were scared to cry for a long time.

Only Daying didn't cry, she was the bravest among the children. After all, he is still a child, and he can't help but tremble on the side, "Why hasn't Sister Xiaomian come yet..."

When Wu Yuanhao heard this, he hurriedly raised his index finger and leaned against her lips, suggesting that Daying should not say it.

The group of people outside became more and more impatient, "I said girl, this is not a way, you should come out and discuss." "The leader urged again and again.

Wu Yuanhao still didn't dare to speak out, dragging them down.

After a while, "Hey! Top dog! What do you see I've found? ”

The man didn't know where to find a torch.

"If you don't come out, I'm going to burn down the house!"

"Sister Wu, Sister Wu... What to do" The children wept and desperately came to ask.
