Approaching the end of the year, people who came to the ancient city from all over the world to study, work, and travel left one after another, and even the traffic jams were reduced. From the news, Puyang saw the so-called "Spring Festival", and couldn't help but be glad that he didn't have to breathe and smell in the same confined space with so many people.

Picking a weekend, Su Jia took her children to the supermarket to buy big. Most of the meat, vegetables, fruits, snacks and drinks that are easy to store were bought on this day, and I took a taxi downstairs and sweated three times to move them. Only a very small number of ingredients that need to be kept fresh are put in the first two days to go to the vegetable market to buy slowly.

Su Jia sat cross-legged on the sofa in the living room, while directing Puyang to put a large pile of New Year's goods into the kitchen, stuff them in the refrigerator, and put them on the balcony...... While calling the bank's customer service number to check the balance on his card.

Cleaning, sorting debris, throwing away garbage...... This kind of triviality is so trivial that it can almost kill anyone's will, and when someone lives alone, he can force himself to be more diligent, and once he has something to rely on, he becomes more and more lazy.

It's also a shame that the one who is instructed to do this and that is very good at forbearance, so as not to smash frozen tofu in her face for these trivial matters and her unbeaten look.

The boy casually walked behind her, his ears pricked up, just in time to hear a female voice mechanically announcing the number. He silently calculated in his heart for a moment, and came to the conclusion that the balance was not small, about enough for her to live a quarter tightly; But it's definitely not enough to have extra enjoyment. If there is another emergency, I'm afraid she won't even be able to come up with emergency money.

But seeing that the man didn't seem to have any worries about this, he put down his mobile phone and stretched: "The year-end bonus will be issued in two days, let's go buy new clothes to wear for the New Year." "A relaxed face.

Not only does she have a year-end bonus, but she also helps the publishing house proofread for several months, and the remuneration should also be on the card. She proofreads quickly and with high quality, and the publisher is willing to outsource the work to her, only needing to spare two hours a day, and the remuneration is not unreasonable. It's just that this work can't last long, and it can be done for a few months every year.

"I have clothes." Winter clothes are very expensive, and the boy is a good boy who is industrious and thrifty.

He wanted to be frugal, but the man who held the financial power did not appreciate it, and said with a smile: "Oh, you have to dress better for the New Year." ”

I don't know where her enthusiasm comes from, but she always wants to dress the boy as delicately as a picturesque person—although his appearance is already picturesque, neither coarse cloth clothes nor silk satin can hide that beauty.

After waiting for a while and not seeing her change her mind, the young man said slowly, "Oh. He walked behind the screen in the corner of the living room, pulled out an envelope from under his pillow, and handed it to her.

“？”

"I earned it." The young man's face was expressionless, and only his pounding heart expressed his true expectation and pride. Looking forward to the affirmation from her, proud of her ability.

When I opened the envelope, it was neatly filled with two thousand five hundred dollars. Su Jia gasped, raised his eyes to look at the young man, and said seriously: "I can earn more in the future." ”

You don't have to work so hard.

"Where did you get that?" It almost suspected that he had used methods that he should not have used, if she hadn't known the boy's heart so well. So now she was just surprised and curious—he wasn't even sixteen yet.

sat down and counted the work she had done and the corresponding remuneration for her: working part-time at the Guda Fruit Lover Water Bar and earning 1,000 yuan; worked as an hourly worker at KFC for a month and received 1,152 yuan; Sorting out the literature, Professor Shen subsidized 600 ......, "I used some of it." ”

Parents often have this mentality: it is nothing to be tired and tired, and they can't wronged their children; You can do the dirty work by yourself, but you can't let your children do it. At this moment, a pseudo-parent's distress arises spontaneously, and his heart is so sad that he almost cried.

The young man didn't wait for the expected compliment, but saw that her eyes were red, and she looked like she was going to cry or not, and he almost panicked. was at a loss, and was hugged by a handful, and the whole person stiffened into a stone.

Su Jia hung his hands on the neck of the stone carving boy, and was still full of distress at first, but then found out that he was embarrassed, so he simply rubbed and touched, and before he could react, he ate the tofu that he didn't dare to eat because he was afraid of his anger.

Later, the joy of "my family has a child who has just grown up" has completely changed into "the little fresh meat looks good here...... Ah, it's not bad here, let me pinch it again......"

The young man tore the person off his chest with a black face and glared at her angrily: "What are you doing! ”

How miserable am I to live, so that even a child can't look at it, and want to make money for me? After the excitement of eating tofu passed, his mind was occupied by shame again, and Su Jia reflected for a while before he said to the young man: "Yangyang, you don't need to work so hard, I can afford to support you." ”

The young man glanced at her, did not mention his male self-esteem, nor did he mention the heart of his own being disappointed, and only asked: "So how will you stay in the future?" ”

Won't I grow up? Won't you get married? Are you really able and willing to feed me for the rest of my life?

Su Jia was dumbfounded. As a living person, a teenager will grow up. Even just during the time of living together, he grew several inches taller, not to mention psychologically mature.

Growing up means facing all kinds of troubles in the world, and his life path needs to be walked by himself. No one can decide the future for him, and she can't try to keep him airtight anymore, or he will lose the ability to survive in this world.

In the next moment, more panic came over her - the teenager's education made it difficult for him to find a non-manual job, and she saw it as her own mistake.

Later...... What should he do?

The boy had a plan for his future, and this unreliable cousin could barely starve him to death. But he didn't want to talk too much about what he hadn't decided yet, he just said, "If you want to buy new clothes, you can buy them too." ”

After speaking, he couldn't help but regret that his voice was too cold and his tone was too hard, but fortunately, his cousin had long been used to it, and sniffed to accept his kindness: "Thank you...... My sister will definitely love you well in the future! Are you free tomorrow? Let's go buy and buy. ”

The young man didn't know where the laughter of "buy, buy, buy" was, but seeing her laughing and falling on the sofa, almost turning the sofa to the back with her fingers, she hurriedly reached out to support her back, and she couldn't help but loosen her eyebrows and bend the corners of her lips slightly.

The next day, Puyang was going to Mr. Shen's house, Su Jia took advantage of his free time, and the dead beggar Bailai also had to follow: "I won't go in, just say hello to Mr. at the door...... "You must know that Mr. Shen is a god-level existence, but the idol of all the students of the School of History and Culture of Gucheng University, how can Su Jia be an exception?"

"And after that?" The teenager naturally entered the house and enjoyed heating, tea and food, but she did not have such a good treatment.

Su Jia first fantasized about the scene of being appreciated by Mr. Shen and invited into the house for a warm reception, and then shook his head and threw the strange picture out of his mind, "I'm waiting for you at school, so you have to come out quickly, don't make me wait too long." ”

That's it, the two of them were dressed warmly and cleanly, and before going out, Su Jia rushed back and smeared a faint lipstick in the mirror, and changed his expression several times before the young man commented: "Look at my eyes, are they sharp?" Not fierce, right? ”

In fact, the boy didn't want to admit that his cousin was a bit ...... in life Stupid. People who meet for the first time are often deceived by her seemingly intelligent appearance and the calm demeanor exercised in the museum, but once they get along for a long time, the stupid and cute atmosphere keeps coming out, and it is really unbearable.

For example, at this moment, although the makeup is clean and the eyes are decisive, no matter how outsiders look at it, they are excellent white-collar workers with culture and skills, but he still sees a stupid spirit that cannot be dissolved......

When I arrived at the door of Mr. Shen's house, I found that there was no one at home. A small note was posted on the door for Puyang: Mr. Shen took his wife to his eldest son's house for the New Year, because there was no contact information for Puyang, so he could only notify him in this way, and apologized......

The two sisters and brothers glanced at each other, and Puyang said, "Die." "His cousin really didn't have a chance with Mr. Shen - several times during her undergraduate years, the old man taught in person, and she missed something.

"Humph!" Su Jia raised her head arrogantly, "The old gentleman likes you." "No one likes the baby, and the baby is a little emotional!

"My aunts and sisters like me too." The teenager pointed out matter-of-factly.

"......" received 10,000 tons of damage.

In the end, the two of them took the bus to the shopping plaza in the center of the ancient city, picked out a mobile phone, and applied for a card at the nearest mobile business hall - using Su Jia's ID card.

Puyang is now very proficient in using his mobile phone, thanks to the fact that he plays with Su Jia's mobile phone when he is idle. After fiddling around for a while, having installed most of the necessary software, he began to save important numbers again.

Su Jiaka grabbed his neck and threatened: "Write, cousin! ”

The young man used the handwritten input method to write a note full of middle two breath above her number, but at this time Su Jia couldn't take care of him, and she was sweating to deal with the call from her hometown: "Well, Mom...... Oh, if you don't go home for the New Year this year, you can only release it in Chinese New Year's Eve, and you can't go back in time. I'll go back next year when I get my annual leave...... Yes? Another classmate got married? …… No, no, I'm not in a hurry, I'm still young...... I'm still young, if you're in a hurry, hurry my brother first......"

The young man took advantage of her inattention and quietly changed the remarks to: Su Xiaojia.

Don't think he didn't find out, she just saved his name as "Pu Xiaoyang"!

Over there, Su Jia gaged and tried to fool her through, but her mother, who felt that her daughter was getting old and was constantly depreciating, was unwilling to let go gently, and the two of them fought wits and courage, which can be called a big show.

The boy listened quietly and realized that she actually had a family...... By the way, she is different from him, how can she not have a family? It sounds like she's quite close to her family and has a brother. And he, the "cousin from his hometown", is actually unable to return to his hometown and see his relatives.

I have never felt so clearly her abundance and her own nothingness.

"Yangyang, my cousin won't even go home for you, you have to repay me well in the future." Put down the phone and immediately change her face into a wolf, and her grandmother is kind and seductive.

The chaotic thoughts were swept away, replaced by contempt: You just said that you didn't go home because you had to work until the Chinese New Year's Eve!
