Chapter Seventy-Eight: Swapping Families
After eating dinner at Miaomiao's house, I didn't sit with them for a while, the dining table was cleaned up from time to time, and Chen Nan drove her home in an electric car that now belongs to the hour.
On the way, Shi Miao finally mustered up the courage, hugged Chen Nan's waist, leaned his head on Chen Nan's sturdy back, closed his eyes and listened to the heartbeat of "brother".
"What's wrong? Tired of playing in the afternoon? β
Suddenly being so close to other girls, Chen Nan is still a little unaccustomed, even if he just treats this girl as his own sister.
Shi Miao enjoyed the present time, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
"It's okay, it just seems that I haven't gotten along with my brother for a long time, and I feel a little lazy and comfortable."
Hearing the sound of the second of the strings, Chen Nan didn't know how to reply to her, and didn't speak again along the way, and quietly drove home with the second of the second.
When she arrived downstairs, she seemed to be asleep on the road, so Chen Nan had to carefully carry her upstairs and settle her.
Gently closing the door of Shi Miao's bedroom, Chen Nan still had to deal with the "parents" who were arguing outside the house.
"You promised me not to drink before, but now you drink every day, secretly hiding in the study and drinking, do you think you can hide it from us? As soon as I opened the door, the room was full of alcohol! β
"You think I want to! I'm so tired at work every day, I have to look at your face when I go home, I don't drink some wine, can I relax my tense nerves that have been forced by you! β
Chen Nan opened the door and stood at the door watching the two quarrel. Shi Miao's parents quarreled for a while before they found Chen Nan who was standing at the door, and just wanted to explain to him, but was interrupted by Chen Nan reaching out his hand.
"I don't need to explain it, it's a hassle to find an excuse. If you feel that living together is troublesome and tiring, if you want to separate, separate yourself. Over there, as long as I am still her brother's day, I will take good care of her, and it can be regarded as repaying you for taking care of me for so many years. As for living expenses, it doesn't matter if you give it or not, I got a software and sold it to a large company, and that money is enough for me to spend college comfortably with Shi Miao, so you don't have to worry about it. So be it, you go on, don't wake up too loudly for a second. β
After Chen Nan finished speaking, he ignored Shi Miao's parents, who were a little entangled, and went back to the house to chat with Miaomiao.
Chen Nan: Did you sleep?
Miaomiao: No, I was lying in bed playing with my phone, and I thought I was asleep, and I went out secretly.
Chen Nan: I guess I went outside to find his alcoholic father.
Miaomiao: Huh? Miaomiao's dad is also an alcoholic?
Chen Nan: Originally, it didn't reach that level, at most, it was to use alcohol to kill my sorrows, but I was tired from work and quarreled with my wife's ideas, and I drank to vent. The result of this wish is that the identities of the two families have been reversed, and now it has become that the parents are just separated due to marriage incompatibility, but there is no special reason. At that time, it was still the same as before, the father was passive and drank heavily every day, and the mother was tired of separating and had a new love...... It's a hassle.
Miaomiao: So, it's only sometimes "hurt", right...... It's so miserable~
At this time, he found his father, who was drunk on the overpass, lit a cigarette for him, sat next to him and accompanied him for a while, and then got up and carried him home.
"Hag!"
As if sensing that someone was talking about him, he sneezed and shrugged his nose as he walked on the road, and continued to carry the weight forward.
Miaomiao: Xiao Nan, you, can you help them? Is there any way to do it?
Chen Nan: I don't know about marriage, our two families are quite happy, I don't have that experience~
Miao Miao: Alas, you said that adults quarrel and want divorce at every turn, and they are still drinking, why don't they think about their children?
Chen Nan: The pressure of work and life cannot be vented, some people choose to escape through alcoholism, and some people go home to vent their grievances to those close to them...... The outside world is very complicated~
Miaomiao: No wonder people on the Internet say they don't want to grow up, there are a lot of growing up troubles.
Chen Nan: Okay, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and our current identity is just a student, so we should do what students should do and study hard. Let the adults solve their own affairs, if they want to separate, they will be separated, and when we leave, there will be time to take care of them, Miao Miaomiao, there is a substitute for me, and then I will find a system to get them a fund to solve the problem of living expenses, think about it, even if the parents are separated, there can still be brothers and sisters to take care of each other and accompany each other, it should be okay.
Miaomiao: Now, without parents by your side, is it still ......
Chen Nan: You basically have the memories of the two families now, they have basically grown up as brothers and sisters since they were young, and their parents' sense of existence is very low.
Miao Miao thought about it carefully, and it really was.
Miaomiao: Okay, that's the way it can be...... I'm a little sleepy, I'm going to sleep, let's talk about it tomorrow when we see you at school, good night~(γ ο½₯Οο½₯q )οΎβ‘
Chen Nan: Well, good night, good dreams.
When he got home, he settled his drunken father, and opened Miaomiao's door to see if she had kicked the quilt, a process he had become quite proficient in over the years.
Seeing the heroic appearance of his sister after falling asleep, he helped her cover the quilt funny, straightened the bangs scattered in front of her forehead, secretly said a good dream, and left the room to go back to rest.
The next morning, Chen Nan felt guilty because he couldn't help solve the problem of the parents of the two girls...... It's not like that, it should be more pity, get up early and make a hearty breakfast for Shi Miao.
After getting up in seconds, she looked at the breakfast on the table, and was not as happy as she imagined, she just smiled and thanked Chen Nan, and sat down to eat silently.
"Brother, I, I want to bring some back to school, give, give Miaomiao and them food."
Chen Nan guessed Shi Miao's thoughts, and replied without raising his head as he ate breakfast.
"I have made two other servings, for Miaomiao and Shifen, you can eat yours with peace of mind."
Hearing Chen Nan's words, she was relieved, she now knows that she saves the money for breakfast every day, just for the sake of changing the truck, and when she is moved, she always wants to help.
"Here, you take it and give it to me, I'll go find Miaomiao."
After going out, looking at Shi Miao wearing a hard hat, Chen Nan took a lunch box and gave Shi Miao.
Looking at the lunch box handed over, Shi Miao still tasted a little savory.
"Obviously, you are in the same class as Shifen, and I am in the same class as Miaomiao, how can you ......?"
"After all, that's your future sister-in-law~ Of course I have to pay attention."
Seeing that Chen Nan was so direct, he pouted in seconds, took the lunch box and directly screwed the accelerator, and walked away at a gallop.
"It's strange, when I heard that Brother Nan and Miao Miao were good, I didn't seem to have that feeling of jealousy, didn't I have a crush on Brother Nan? Or do you just want to have a brother like him...... Hours, hours are not so useless......"
Thoughts flowed along the way while driving the car, and she was very entangled now, wanting to continue like this, and wanting to find the brother who was misunderstood by her and abandoned by her.
