It is said that Yao Jingjing drove three jumpers to the town, and met little Alexander on the way, Alexander got into the car, and accompanied Yao Jingjing to the town to sell goods as usual, acting as a translator.

"Yao Jingjing, have you had guests at home these days?" Little Alexander also heard the rumors about Yao Jingjing in the village, and he couldn't help but be curious.

"Yes, his name is Ivan, and you will call him brother in the future."

"Listen to what you mean, this Ivan is going to stay for a long time?"

"Well, that's the way it looks like at the moment."

"Who is he? Why live in your home? This is what little Alexander is most curious about.

"Ivan, he was Sergei's former assistant, and after I moved to this village with Sergei, Ivan got another job. No, on the phone the other day Ivan learned about Sergei's situation and drove over the same day, and he offered to stay and take care of Sergei. ”

"Assistant? How can there be such a heartfelt assistant! Little Alexander didn't believe in this set of arguments.

"Ivan has always treated Sergei as a father, he has been working by Sergei's side for ten years, and the two of them are like father and son."

Little Alexander frowned suspiciously, he still didn't quite understand this kind of relationship that was not father and son but father and son.

"Yao Jingjing, there have been some rumors in the village recently."

"What rumors?"

"It's about you and that Ivan."

Eh, Yao Jingjing was stunned, as if she had guessed something, and said suspiciously: "About me and Ivan?" Uh, what's the rumor? ”

"It's hard to say that the relationship between the two of you is unclear."

Yes, she should have thought of it a long time ago, the countryside is like this! The people of this village like to gossip when they have nothing to do, and they can make up flowers when they have nothing to do. Yao Jingjing frowned in displeasure.

"I didn't have anything to do with Ivan, he used to be Sergei's assistant, I had a master-servant relationship with him, now it's a friend, he helped me take care of Sergei, I'm very grateful, after he came, Sergei was a lot happier, and my pressure was reduced a lot."

Little Alexander didn't reply, he didn't know much about this kind of adult hardship at the moment.

"By the way, doesn't this Ivan have a wife?"

"As far as I know, he is not married, and according to him, he seems to have no relatives anymore." In fact, Ivan's age is about the same as Yao Jingjing, why he didn't get married in his 30s, this is Ivan's private matter, and Yao Jingjing is inconvenient to ask.

At noon, Yao Jingjing came home from the town, her face was not very good, and she didn't talk much.

At lunchtime, after Ivan fed Sergei, he sat at the table to eat, and caught a glimpse of Yao Jingjing with his head down, expressionless, and said tentatively: "Jingjing, what happened in the town today?" ”

Yao Jingjing glanced at Ivan and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about whether to tell Ivan about the rumors in the village.

"Is there anything you can't say?" Ivan also saw Yao Jingjing's embarrassment.

"Ivan, or else, you'd better go."

"Why? You're going to drive me away? ”

"Well, I'm not driving you, alas, it's just that you're a young man, trapped in this countryside, it's not a problem, you should go back to Moscow, that's where you should live."

"I'm definitely leaving, but only after my boss recovers."

"Sergei is my husband, I will take good care of him, you better go."

Ivan saw that Yao Jingjing was a little abnormal, and asked, "Jingjing, is something happening?" As soon as you come back today, you won't look good. ”
