"You said I missed him last night! I didn't sleep well this night, so I patronized and thought about him, but he was fine, early in the morning, without even leaving a word, I opened my eyes, and there was no shadow of the person...... Ouch my mother, this unconscious bastard, I'm so angry......"

Zhang Shuzhen rubbed her stomach, intestines, liver, spleen and lungs, and complained to Huo Jianfeng with complaints.

Early this morning, Huo Jianfeng came to the courtyard. I was going to come over early to talk to Dachao, but when I got here, they had already gone out to do business, and I don't know how long they had been gone, and Wang Wenyuan also said that he hadn't seen him since he got up at four o'clock.

Hearing the old lady's complaint, Huo Jianfeng persuaded: "Mother, he didn't go out to drink again, why are you angry?" Maybe he was drunk last night, and he ran away in the morning when he was embarrassed to face everyone, so don't be angry, I'll talk to him when I get back, and help him solve his mood......"

Zhang Shuzhen said with an air bag: "It's still untied, I've seen enough!" That immoral thing is holding a baba peg to twist the flower and not changing that guy, his twisting strength came up, and there was no persuasion ......"

Huo Jianfeng said: "This hasn't been said yet, how do you know that there is no solution?" Maybe I don't need to solve it, people have already figured it out! ”

"Just him? You dream, that thing, it's better to drill the horns, and if you get in, you won't bring it out, if you don't believe it, you'll just walk and see......"

Zhang Shuzhen was full of resentment towards his youngest son, and he complained endlessly when he mentioned it.

Huo Jianfeng persuaded the old lady a few words, and when he saw that the chaos was not there, he left.

With a total of half a month's vacation, he still has a lot of things to do, but he can't afford to delay.

Today, he mainly wanted to go to see Huo Changsheng and ask him about the whereabouts of the two children......

And at home, Han Mingxiu is not idle, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, she wants to clean up the house, so she took the nanny aunt and the three children, and began to clean up with her arms and sleeves.

A few people were working in full swing, and Xiao Jing suddenly came.

She came to return the book, and when she saw Xiao Jing, Han Mingxiu was stunned for a moment, at this time period, shouldn't she be working at the eldest sister's house, why did she come here?

She didn't know that Xiao Jing planned not to work at her eldest sister's house in the future, but thinking of the chaos last night, she immediately guessed seven big eight.

In order to confirm his guess, Han Mingxiu specially asked: "Hey, don't you have to go to the market to sell crabs today?" ”

Xiao Jing smiled shyly and said, "I'...... I've not been in good health lately and can't go to the market. ”

"Oh, that's resting at home, huh?" Han Mingxiu then asked.

Xiao Jing said: "Sort of, but it's not a complete rest, my grandmother and I paste matchboxes every day, and we can make money, but we earn less......"

Speaking of which, Han Mingxiu completely understood.

Xiao Jing definitely didn't go to the eldest sister's house to do it, and people would rather paste matchboxes to earn a few cents a day than go to the eldest sister's house to earn the "huge money" of two yuan a day.

It seems that this girl is also quite stubborn, and she is determined to refuse the chaos.

Han Mingxiu felt a little regretful in her heart, but she still enthusiastically asked Xiao Jing if she would borrow a few more books to go back.

When Xiao Jing heard this, she quickly nodded gratefully, "Sister Han, thank you so much." ”

Han Mingxiu took Xiao Jing to the study, and this time, Xiao Jing picked two more books, and the ones that were "Jane Eyre" and "Women's Paradise" were selected.

These two books have one feature in common with Pride and Prejudice, both of which tell the story of a domineering president who falls in love with Cinderella.

Through the books that Xiao Jing loves to read, it is not difficult to find her personality characteristics.

She must have longed for a romantic love, and the man she liked was also the kind of successful person with social status and wealth.

In this way, the chaos is even more useless.

Actually, Xiao Jing is not wrong to think so, as a woman, who doesn't dream of marrying a man who is rich and status, romantic and loved?

Who would want to marry a poor and statusless dick man?

It's just that I hope she doesn't lose herself easily for this dream.

Sometimes, dreams and principles, desires and bottom lines are only one step away, and the slightest mistake is a thousand miles......

"Sister Han, I see that your house seems to be cleaning, what else is there, I'll help you do it!"

Xiao Jing was embarrassed to always read other people's books for nothing, but she didn't have anything to give to Han Mingxiu, so she had to offer to help Han Mingxiu work, wanting to repay the kindness of others who lent her books through her own labor.

Han Mingxiu said with a smile: "No need, the work is almost done, there are some small jobs left, I want to exercise my children's housework ability, just leave it to them." ”

Xiao Jing listened and said with admiration: "Sister Han, you really know how to educate children, generally people with conditions like yours, children are used to being like little ancestors, how can you let them work?" ”

Han Mingxiu waved his hand and said with a smile: "The ancients had clouds, and habitual sons are like killing sons, I always remember this ancient precept." ”

Indeed, the second uncles Han Zhide and Huo Changsheng are the best examples, she doesn't want to make her children accustomed to being waste wood that is not diligent and does not divide the grains......

After Xiao Jing left, Han Mingxiu took the children to continue cleaning, and she praised the little ones from time to time. Even if they are young and some of the work is not thorough, she encourages them to work hard, so that the children can feel different happiness in labor and play.

A few children are responsible for the sanitation of the low parts of the house, for example, wiping the corners of the walls with a rag, brushing the toilet, or mopping the floor, and Xiaobai (the dog in the house) is responsible for running around, running upstairs and downstairs happily, and making trouble......

Han Mingxiu and Aunt Zhang were responsible for cleaning the glass in the house. Huo Jianfeng said that he would wipe the glass outside the house, and he would clean the dust on the roof.

Men should be left to do the men's work, and now women and children can do what they can.

Uncle Gao and Aunt Gao also wanted to help, but Han Mingxiu said nothing. he

The old couple are in their sixties, she is not worried about letting them climb the heights, not to mention the danger, it is not good to have a good year after being tired, it is better to let them go to the kitchen to cook......

In the evening, Han Mingxiu went to the courtyard.

She already knew that Xiao Jing was not working in the courtyard, so there was no need to hide anymore, and she could go to the courtyard openly.

When she arrived at the courtyard, the eldest aunt was holding the beans and stuffing, the eldest sister and Xiaomeizi helped her hold it together, and the rest of the people had not come back.

Seeing Han Mingxiu coming, Zhang Shuzhen said happily: "Xiu'er, you came just in time, I washed rice, and when you go back later, bring some tastings to Brother Gao and Sister-in-law Gao, although it is not a good thing, but it is a little bit of my heart." ”

Uncle Gao and Aunt Gao have always been very grateful for the care of Han Mingxiu's family, Zhang Shuzhen and Wang Wenyuan have always been very grateful. Therefore, every time they eat something good at home, they think about sending it over to express their gratitude to Brother Gao and Sister-in-law Gao.

Of course, Han Mingxiu was happy to let several old people get along in harmony.

Seeing that the eldest aunt took the initiative to give Uncle Gao and Aunt Gao bean buns, Han Mingxiu also said happily: "Great, it just so happened that Uncle Gao said that he wanted to eat bean buns the day before yesterday, originally I wanted to buy some yellow rice and buy it myself, but it happened that your family made it, so I saved my energy......"

With that, she went to the kitchen to wash her hands, rolled up her sleeves, and came over to make beans and stuffing with her aunt and sister.

"Auntie, Jianfeng came over in the morning, right? Did you talk to the chaos? ”

Han Mingxiu pulled out a ball of bean paste from the basin and asked as he grabbed it.

Zhang Shuzhen said: "I'm here, it's just that when he came, the immoral thing was gone, and he left quietly early in the morning, even your uncle and I don't know when he left, Jianfeng didn't block him, so he went to the prison to see Huo Changsheng's bad seed......"

Huo Jianfeng told Han Mingxiu last night that he was going to see Huo Changsheng in prison today, and Han Mingxiu didn't think it was strange when he heard his aunt say this.

"By the way, auntie, I'm back in the middle of the day, did he say anything? Mood better, right? ”

"When he came back, he looked like a wandering ghost, humming like someone owed him 80,000 debts, and I didn't like to look at him." As soon as the chaos was mentioned, Zhang Shuzhen was angry.

Han Mingcui brought a pot of bean bun stuffing to the kitchen, and brought an empty basin to put on the kang. Then she glanced at Zhang Shuzhen, who was puffing up, and said to Han Mingxiu: "I haven't been in a good mood for the past two days, and I haven't talked much when I came back, but my mood is quite stable, and I haven't done anything out of line." ”

"Cut, what else can he do? Can you still wipe your neck and hang yourself? Bear egg thing, isn't it just chasing a little girl and not catching up? A big drink is enough to choke, if he dares to be a man again, see if I don't slap him with a big mouth! The eldest aunt shouted vigorously on the outside and on the inside.

Han Mingxiu hurriedly smiled and persuaded: "But something else, aunt, the mood has been low in the past two days, and it is the time when you need family affection and warmth, you can't hit him again, don't stimulate him again." ”

Zhang Shuzhen pursed her lips, although she also recognized Han Mingxiu's words in her heart, but she said stiffly: "Who sparked him?" I don't even bother to look at him, I don't dare to build a half-strong thing, Jianfeng has grown up since he was a child, no matter how big things happen, he doesn't frown, he's good, just for a yellow-haired girl to die or live, I knew that he was such a calf, he shouldn't have given birth to him in the first place......"

Han Mingxiu said: "The chaos matures late, and it is still uncertain now, and it is inevitable that you will be overly emotional when you encounter something. ”

"He's choked, I think he's like him, and he won't grow up when he's eighty." The eldest aunt muttered angrily.

Because of the current state of chaos, Zhang Shuzhen couldn't scold him in front of him, so she had to scold him behind his back to relieve his anger and vent his dissatisfaction and worries......

While a few people were talking, Huo Jianfeng came back.

After entering the house, he first stood in the doorway, fluttering the snowflakes on his body and hat.

"Is it snowing?" Han Mingxiu hurriedly got off the kang, took a towel and simply wiped the bean bag filling on her hands, and reached out to take her husband's coat and hat.

Huo Jianfeng said: "It's been down, it's been more than half an hour, but it's not big." ”

"It's not raining, and you still have so much snow on you?" Han Mingxiu shook the snowflakes on his coat twice, and then put them on the back of the chair in the hall.

Huo Jianfeng said: "Aren't I riding a tricycle? Motionless in the car, with snow scraped on his body. ”

"By the way, have you seen Huo Changsheng? Have you found out the whereabouts of those two children? Han Mingxiu asked.

Hearing the words "Huo Changsheng", Huo Jianfeng's sword eyebrows couldn't help frowning, and said, "I saw ......."

"Oh, what's going on with him now? Did you say anything? This sentence was asked by Zhang Shuzhen, and she has been paying attention to Huo Jianfeng since he entered the house.

Huo Jianfeng walked into the kitchen to wash his hands, and replied while washing:

"He's not very good now, he's skinny and thin, as soon as he sees me, he cries and asks me to get him out, he doesn't want to think about it, I'm just a soldier, what can I do to get him out of a prisoner sentenced to life imprisonment?"

"What about his two children? He didn't say where the two children were. Han Mingxiu had been following Huo Jianfeng, and when he saw that he had finished washing his hands, he intimately handed over the towel.

Huo Jianfeng said while wiping his hands: "At first, he didn't say it, he didn't tell me until I promised to get him out, and then I told him that if he didn't say it, I wouldn't care, anyway, it was his child, since he didn't care about the child's life or death, what did I care about them?" Later, when he saw that I was resolute, he had to tell me. ”

"Oh? So where is the child? Han Mingxiu was more concerned about the whereabouts of Huo Changsheng's two children, and the most important thing was to know if they could be recovered.

Huo Jianfeng said: "The eldest of the two children asked him to sell to Cheng Yungui's family, and the younger one asked him to sell to a trafficker named Zhang Qiangzi in the county, I plan to go back to my hometown tonight to see how the two children are doing, if not, I will redeem them and raise them for my aunt." ”

Han Mingxiu listened and said, "Since you have found it, then bring more money back, in case the lions of the people open their mouths, if the money is not enough, there is no way to redeem them." ”

Zhang Shuzhen said dissatisfiedly: "It's really cheap, that Huo Changsheng is really cheap, he sold his own son, and the money was squandered, but we want us to take the money to redeem him, and we have to spend money to support him, I really don't know if I should have been him or owe him in my last life!" ”

Han Mingcui comforted and said: "Auntie, don't be in prison with him, think about it, even if we take some unjust money, we can't hurt our vitality, now, we are living well outside, but he, he has to spend his whole life in a prison cell, in fact, it's quite pitiful......"

was persuaded by Han Mingcui like this, Zhang Shuzhen's mood improved.

Yes, when she thought of Huo Changsheng, the bastard squatting in prison, she wanted to slap her thigh with hatred.

It seems that God is still relatively fair, and for a bad person like Huo Changsheng, he should be allowed to end up like this.

The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and soon it was goose feathers. Soon, several of the people who sold crabs at home came back, and the chaos also came back, but because he might have been hit too hard, he drooped his head as soon as he came back and didn't talk to anyone.

There will be a lot of people, and Huo Jianfeng is not easy to enlighten him, for fear of hurting his self-esteem, so he didn't say anything.

After dinner, he went back to his room in a big mess, and Huo Jianfeng followed suit.

Dachao lives alone in the west wing, the space is relatively independent, and talking to him here can protect privacy well.

Seeing that the eldest brother followed up, Huo Jianfeng didn't use Huo Jianfeng to open his mouth, and he knew what Huo Jianfeng meant.

"Brother......," he cried out, and stood there with his head drooping.

Huo Jianfeng patted him on the shoulder, "Sit down, we haven't talked together for a long time, and my brother will have a good chat with you today......

Da Chao said, "Brother, do you want to tell me about Xiao Jing?" ”

Seeing the chaos, he didn't shy away from it, and brought it up directly, Huo Jianfeng simply opened the skylight and said brightly, "Yes, what do you think of Xiaojing?" ”

Da Chao patted the stack of books on the lid of his cabinet and said, "I went to buy all the textbooks for elementary school today, and I will study hard from tonight to try to catch up with her as soon as possible." ”

"What? You said...... Do you want to learn? Hearing the words of the chaos, Huo Jianfeng's jaw almost dropped in surprise.

You know, the most annoying thing about the big chaos from childhood to adulthood is studying, I think it was because he didn't like to study at the beginning, he was beaten by his aunt and ran all over the place, and even lost one of his shoes......

But that's it, he still doesn't like to learn, and he can't learn even if he is killed.

However, such a person actually bought all the primary school textbooks and wanted to study, can you not be shocked?

"Are you sure you really want to learn? Not three minutes of blood? Huo Jianfeng was deeply skeptical of the words of the chaos.
