The room where Chen Chen lived was also upstairs in the Shanyi Hall, and it was not very far from the rooms of several of them. The dark night sky shrouded the dark building, making people who have not yet fallen asleep full of thoughts.

Chen Chen lay on the bed like this, feeling the time passing little by little. Although Ye Xianglian and the others often go out to look for work, it is the first time that they have not come back so late, and the two of them are women, and it is still worrying that there has been no news for so long. "I knew I would have asked them where they were before leaving, at least I wouldn't have to wait here like this." Thinking like this, Chen Chen got up from the bed and walked downstairs lightly.

As soon as I got downstairs, I could see a faint light shining in. It didn't look like the light in the store, but the light on the top of the doorway shining through the half-open door. "Are they back?" Chen Chen didn't think about it.

But the figures at the door just stood there, and they didn't look like they wanted to come in for a while. "No, is there a thief?" Chenchen dodged and came to hide behind the table, poking out half of his head to look outside.

The three figures at the door, two tall and one short, seemed to be two tall men, a man and a woman, and the rest seemed to be a child. Let's tell it carefully, is that kid not Han Xueming or who? What is she doing here at such a late hour? There were thousands of questions hidden in his heart, and instead of standing up directly, Chen Chen secretly approached, intending to listen to their conversation first.

"Xue Ming, how are you doing these days? It's cold, remember to add clothes? The woman asked.

"Well, don't worry too much, the sisters here are very good to me, especially a handsome brother who came recently, he is amazing, he can beat the bad guys away in a few clicks!" Han Xueming's crisp voice sounded.

Listening to the content of their conversation, it seems that these two are Han Xueming's mysterious parents? And hearing her say this about herself, the corners of Chenchen's mouth couldn't help but rise, and he almost laughed out loud.

However, the parents' attention was obviously not on Chen Chen, who was in the words, they just sighed softly, and then said: "It's good that someone takes care of you, and we can rest assured that you are doing well." ”

After saying this, there was a sudden silence. In that atmosphere, Chen Chen felt a sense of embarrassment in the shadows. In the end, it was Han Xueming who took the lead in breaking the silence:

"The last time we met, I heard that my dad was working for a big boss, how is it now?"

The man looked like he wanted to establish a tall image in front of his daughter, but in the end, he couldn't help but sigh: "Originally, I was doing some bookkeeping work for Boss Xue, and it has always been quite easy, and the money is barely enough for me to survive." But just a few days ago, Xue Ji's store suddenly declared bankruptcy, and the owner was nowhere to be found...... I still have a few months to pay my salary, and I can't even afford to eat when he runs away......"

After hearing this, the woman on the side showed a worried look. But more helplessly, she held his shoulders and said slowly: "Ah, what should you do then?" As you know, I'm helping out in a tailor's shop now, and I can't even feed myself with the money I give, otherwise I wouldn't have fostered Xue Ming here......"

"What else can we do, we don't have any relatives in this city, so we can only go to that kind of person to borrow some, and let's talk about it after the recent past." His voice revealed a deep powerlessness and vicissitudes.

Speaking of which, Chen Chen also understood that the reason why Han Xueming's parents never appeared was not because they wanted to give up their children, but because the pressure of life in Yunyang City was too great, and ordinary people could not accommodate it at all. The two of them can't even support themselves, and seeing each other a few more times will only add to their troubles.

The three people outside fell into embarrassment again, obviously they were a family, and they should be the closest people, but at this moment, they were divided by the moat called "life", and even at this moment, they couldn't even talk in their throats.

Just when Chen Chen really couldn't hide and wanted to show up, it was Han Xueming who shattered the stagnant air: "I still have some money here, Daddy will take it to the emergency first, if it's not enough, let Xue Ming find a way again." ”

To Chenchen's surprise, in the end, it was Han Xueming who took out some money and handed it to her father. "This, Xue Ming, how can my father take your money!" It looked like he was just as shocked.

"It's okay, it's okay to eat and live here, and it's useless for me to ask for this money. Besides, didn't Dad say that he would earn a lot of money in the future and take Xueming to live in a big house and eat a lot of delicious food. I'll lend the money to my father, and I'll pay it back when that time comes. ”

Completely contrary to Han Xueming's naïve tone, it was her very mature approach, which made it completely unimaginable that these words came from the mouth of a child less than ten years old.

"Snow Tea...... Xue Ming ......" His voice was already nasal, "To have a daughter like you is the most precious treasure in my father's life......"

The three people outside hugged each other tightly, making Chen Chen sigh, it should have been another happy family, but now it has become like this, and even let a child come out to shelter from the wind and rain. Han Xueming is so sensible, she should also know that his father's promise can't be redeemed, but she still chooses to support him and comfort him. It can only be said that each and every one of them is so difficult.

While Chen Chen was still savoring the cause and effect of this incident in his heart, the lights outside suddenly went out, and Chen Chen's subconscious body flashed and hid in a deeper place.

Sure enough, when Han Xueming carefully closed the door, she didn't find that there was one person who was silently eavesdropping in the dark. She just rubbed her hands and feet a little and went upstairs.

Chen Chen thought for a while, got up from the ground, pushed open the door and walked out.

The winter night was silent, and the streets, which should have been seen countless times, were now even darker, and everything that appeared in sight could only be discerned by impressions. The air was filled with a terrible smell, and the cold air made every breath painful.

Looking along the street that stretched into the darkness, two figures leaning up to each other slowly walked slowly in the cold. The back seems so lonely and helpless, but it seems so harmonious on this bleak land, without the slightest sense of disobedience.

Chen Chen wanted to step forward and stop them, but in the end he gave up. There is only a limit to the help you can bring to them, just like the scenery tonight, although the night sky is deep and dark overhead, but when the bright moon is on duty, it will still cast an extremely dark shadow where people can't see it. (Translation: Due to space limitations, I will write it in the next chapter)
