After talking to Ning's father and Ning's mother about his willingness to rent a house, Huo Yan also showed the qualities that a doer should have - after work the next day, he took the money to Ning Shuyi's house to pay the deposit and rent.

This efficiency obviously frightened Ning's father and Ning's mother, and Ning Shuyi's brother-in-law Nie Guang was also taken aback.

Looking at that posture, Nie Guang didn't really believe that Huo Yan would rent the house upstairs from his father-in-law, after all, the house area is not small, and it is really too big for a single man to live alone.

He thought that this was just a play that Huo Yan made in order to cooperate with his parents-in-law, and used it to prevaricate himself, and he said that it would be forgotten, and he would not move the real chapter.

I didn't expect this guy to really come to sign the contract with the money.

What's even more outrageous is that when he signs the contract, he also proposes to be afraid of trouble, so the rent should be paid annually and sign a long-term lease contract with Ning's father.

Nie Guang didn't even eat dinner that night, so he said that he had something else to do, so he found an excuse to leave early, and didn't continue to have nothing to say in front of his parents-in-law.

After he left, Father Ning did not sign a contract with Huo Yan, but said that he was not in a hurry, when the upstairs was cleaned up, whether he could go in and live, and it would be the same to sign it when the time came, and by the way, he also emphasized that he did not really need long-term rent and annual payment.

Huo Yan just nodded, and didn't say much.

Almost every day after that, after getting off work, Huo Yan would follow Ning Shuyi back to her house, not that Ning Shuyi invited, but that Ning's father agreed with Huo Yan that the two of them would clean up the mess upstairs together after Huo Yan got off work every day.

Ning Shuyi felt that there was no need for this, but Ning's father gave a reason that she couldn't refute.

"This little Huo is tall, his physique is good, there are some things that need to climb up and down, can't I save a lot of effort with him! Do you think that your father is old, and you still have to climb up and down?" Father Ning said confidently.

Ning Shuyi was speechless, she and her sister are both medium height, and her brother-in-law Nie Guang is not a tall person, and Ning's father is indeed risky to climb high at this age.

But Father Ning made such a request, and Huo Yan, who has always been not close to people, was able to accept it happily, which was what surprised her the most.

"You can't be embarrassed to refuse my dad because he's old, so you can respond to your requests, right?" After holding it for three or five days, Ning Shuyi finally couldn't help but be curious and asked Huo Yan.

"It's not." Huo Yan replied very simply, "Because your family's food is delicious."

Ning Shuyi had never heard such a ridiculous answer, but the expression on the face of the person who said this was extremely calm and sincere, as if every word was from the bottom of her heart, which made her speechless.

In this way, Huo Yan and Ning's father cleaned up together for half a month, and finally cleaned up the original mess upstairs.

Huo Yan's requirements for living are not high, so he didn't let Ning's father spend any more time and energy on any decoration, but just re-laid the wooden floor and added simple basic furniture, which was considered complete.

On the day Huo Yan officially moved in, he signed the rental contract, and still insisted on paying the annual rent, and paid a year's money in one go, which made Nie Guang's face dark again.

Ning's father and Ning's mother were embarrassed to refuse in front of their eldest son-in-law, so they had to accept the money.

Ning Shuyi knew what his parents were worried about, so after dinner, when Huo Yan took the initiative to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, he also went over to help, and by the way, he helped the second elder to inquire.

"You pay a year's rent at a time, although this amount of money is not a huge amount, but it is not a small amount!" She asked Huo Yan in a low voice, "If you have the heart to help my parents block it, you don't have to fight so hard!"

"It's okay, I have enough savings." Huo Yan rinsed the clean bowl and replied calmly.

Ning Shuyi thought for a while: "I heard before that your salary is good, and you have money in hand, and you don't have any place to spend it, and I don't know if it's true or not.

Now look at what you mean, is this really the case?"

Huo Yan did not answer Ning directly

In this question of calligraphy, I just say, "I have a stack of honorary certificates."

"Huh?" Ning Shuyi was slightly stunned, not understanding what Huo Yan meant.

"Participate in the action, participate in the big competition, and have daily assessments, accumulating first-class merit once, second-class merit three times, and third-class merit...... It's too many to remember." Huo Yan put the washed plate into the draining basket on the side, "None of them are for nothing, and there are bonuses at the national and local levels."

Ning Shuyi knows that meritorious service has a bonus, and their bureau is no exception, but meritorious service requires strength in addition to opportunities.

She has seen people who have won meritorious service bonuses, but among the people she knows, Huo Yan is still the first one who can save her savings with this kind of bonus.

In this way, Huo Yan moved out of the dormitory of the unit in a low-key manner and moved upstairs to Ning Shuyi's house, becoming a special neighbor.

During the day, the two of them went to work together, and at night, as long as Ning's father said hello, Huo Yan went downstairs to eat without saying a word, and it was extremely natural.

However, in the unit, Huo Yan is still the same, he is indifferent to everyone, not estranged and indifferent, but he is not very close to anyone.

Neither he nor Ning Shuyi mentioned the matter of moving, and no one in the team knew about it.

During the time that Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan have worked together, they have mastered the knack of dealing with him, and they are very easy and pleasant to get along with, so there is no uncomfortable feeling that Huo Yan has become an upstairs neighbor and comes to the house to eat every day.

Huo Yan's good habits in the army also made Ning's father and Ning's mother very satisfied, since he moved upstairs, the second elder no longer had to worry about being disturbed by the sudden noise.

The only thing that made Ning Shuyi a little dissatisfied was that the two of them lived so close, Huo Yan grabbed her to go out for a run and practice physical fitness or something, she couldn't even find an excuse to hide and be lazy.

In this way, another month passed, and the temperature rose day by day, from the initial warm and cold, to the warm spring breeze, and continued to go all the way up, and in a blink of an eye, it was early summer.

The early summer in the city is not too hot, and it is even a little cool in the morning and evening, which can be regarded as the most beautiful and comfortable period of the year.

The bureau is not busy during this period of time, and most of the time Ning Shuyi and they can commute to work normally, except for being on duty, they can eat at home every night.

As a result, on an ordinary evening, Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan returned to Ning's father's house after work, and just sat down, before they even drank a mouthful of soup, they received a phone call, saying that there was a murder in a park and needed to be dealt with immediately.

The two people didn't dare to delay, hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and hurriedly rushed towards the scene of the crime.
