Anxious footsteps came, and everyone saw the head of the Ouyang family with a pale face walking in at the door, followed by a few people from Father Shen's housekeeper.

Ouyang Lingfeng, who saw his father coming, immediately stood up, and hurriedly put on a pitiful expression to complain.

But Ouyang Feng obviously didn't eat him, and slapped his son's head in front of him: "Bastard! Bullying again! ”

Ouyang Lingfeng, who was stunned, was just pretending to be pitiful, but now he was really wronged, tears welled up in his eyes, and he looked at his father who beat him even more pitifully.

"Uncle, don't beat Brother Ouyang, he just brought a few people over and scolded my brother, I kicked him in anger, Xiao Nian is also at fault, Brother Ouyang apologizes to his brother, and I will apologize to Brother Ouyang." Shen Nian, who was standing on the side, waited for Ouyang Lingfeng to be slapped by his father before he sensibly opened his mouth to persuade.

Ouyang Lingfeng was simply annoyed by her coy posture, and argued loudly: "Nonsense! You scolded me just now, I didn't beat you, this time you did it first! ”

Shen Nian was so frightened by his roar that he shrank down, his eyes immediately filled with tears, and he was so aggrieved that his crying voice came out: "Xiao Niancai didn't scold, it was my brother who scolded my brother for what kind of poor person, the Shen family didn't deserve to come to this kind of place, I was so angry that I beat my brother!" ”

The little sister Shu Hua next to her saw her good friend crying, hugging Shen Nian and feeling distressed and angry: "That's it!" It is! We were eating well, but Ouyang Lingfeng came over first to scold! ”

Shen Pei, who saw her daughter crying, immediately stepped forward to hug her and coax her, a trace of anger arose in her heart, looked at the pastor who was sitting on the side and bowed her head silently, and turned her eyes sternly at Ouyang father and son opposite: "Mr. Ouyang, Xiao Nian is not a lying child, your son should teach him well." ”

Ouyang Lingfeng was stunned by such a coercive look, and Ouyang Feng also had a headache when he saw the angry Shen Pei: "Yes, this stinky boy in my family is to blame for this matter, how can he bully his younger brothers and sisters, I will definitely let him correct it." ”

Shen Nian is notoriously well-behaved and sensible, today is still a banquet hosted by the Shen family, all kinds of wealthy families and celebrities have been invited, it can be seen how big the momentum is, even if it is an adopted son, no one dares to say anything, and the stinky boy dares to rush up and scold!

He pulled Ouyang Lingfeng, who was pouting next to him, and forcibly apologized to people: "Xiao Nian, don't cry, brother, he didn't mean to, uncle asked him to apologize to your brother." With that, he stared sternly at the son next to him.

Ouyang Lingfeng was frustrated and humiliated, but he didn't dare to fight his father at all now, he turned his head to look at Si Mu with dark eyes, Si Mu's face did not change and looked at him, and finally Ouyang Lingfeng lowered his head: "I'm sorry, it's okay." ”

The pastor, who hadn't spoken since just now, turned his head sideways, and accepted the apology with a cold lowered brow: "It's okay. ”

Shen Nian, who was observing the two of them next to him, sniffed: "Okay, Brother Ouyang apologized, and I also apologized to my brother, I'm sorry, Xiao Nian shouldn't have beaten my brother." ”

Ouyang Feng saw the two reconcile, and eased the atmosphere with relief: "Okay, okay, Xiao Nian is sensible and generous, it's normal for children to make trouble, right, Lao Shen." ”

Shen Pei is not an unreasonable person, his daughter has forgiven, he naturally won't say anything, nodded and agreed.

Just when everyone thought that they were okay and could disperse, Shen Nian's immature voice sounded again: "Uncle, where did Brother Ouyang learn the word poor and untouchable?" Did you teach him? Although we are rich, we cannot feel superior to others. Grandpa often told Xiao Nian that every stitch and thread comes from the masses, and every person is worthy of respect, and my brother's wrong thinking is unacceptable. ”

Ouyang Feng knew the Shen family's actions, even if he usually didn't look down on the poor, but in front of the Shen family, he couldn't wear this kind of hat: "That's right! Xiao Nian is so right, this is definitely not taught by his uncle, it may be that this stinky boy has learned badly outside, and I will find a teacher for my brother to teach him his conduct when I go back. ”

Ouyang Lingfeng looked at his father without tears, it was like this, every time he finished fighting with Shen Nian, he had to be bombarded with a study, Shen Nian was simply a devil!

The dinner party gradually came to an end, and the lively banquet hall gradually returned to calm as the people dispersed.

Shen Nian, who had just bid farewell to Xie Shuhua's children, was wrapped in a thick coat and walked with his head bowed on the marble floor, followed by an equally round pastor.

Suddenly, the black sky was lightly snowing, and it fell to the ground and on their warm velvet hats.

As he walked, the boy looked at the snow in a daze, the cold snow that had been so cold that he could no longer feel a trace of cold, and he felt the beauty of snow for the first time.

Shen Nian, who was walking in front, looked at the snow falling heavier and heavier, turned to look at the boy who was walking slower and slower behind him, and reluctantly turned around and pulled up the stunned Si Mu and ran: "Why don't you go quickly when it's snowing?" I'm going to give you a good workout when I go back this time, I'm walking so slowly, it's too weak. ”

The pastor who was panting after being dragged and running for a while left all the sentimentality just now, and the boy who was always teased by Shen Nian showed some childish shame in a rare way, and retorted in a low voice: "I'm not weak, it's because the weather is too cold." ”

Shen Nian sneered lightly, not dampening his little manly self-confidence, pulling people to speed up and running to the side of the car, quickly stuffing the boy into it, and then skillfully getting into the warm car.

The car quickly drove back to the Shen Mansion in the middle of the mountain, the quiet and dim dense forest was covered with a thin layer of snow, and the brightly lit Shen Mansion gradually became lively with the return of the masters.

The priest who got out of the car behind Shen Nian lowered his head and unconsciously pinched the corners of his clothes, expecting to be severely scolded and warned, but no one in the Shen family mentioned anything at the banquet.

Only Sun Ru, who was full of motherly heart, touched the little boy's head and comforted: "Good boy, it's okay, no one will bully you in the future." ”

Si Mu, who had never felt his mother's care, tried his best to control his actions to dodge, and tried his best to maintain a well-behaved and docile expression.

Late at night, when the boy was sure that he would not be sent away, he breathed a sigh of relief, stared quietly at the top with his big deep eyes in the dark, and closed his eyes after a while.

The ice and snow are gradually melting, the new branches are pulling green shoots, and the time of the New Year's festival full of joy and excitement always passes quickly, and the Shen House, which was originally back to the bustle, gradually returns to the peace of the past with the departure of the family.

Shen Nian took the priest to stand in front of the gate to see off the last old man Shen, the old man who was over sixty years old and should have retired to tease his grandson, for the sake of the country, he still put on a heavy coat, his sideburns that had been weathered and had already turned white like frost, and his straight and neat figure sat on the military vehicle bound for the army base.

In the Shen family, it seems that everyone has their own mission to follow their life, so Shen Nian is always saying goodbye.

Seeing the car go farther and farther, Shen Nian turned his head to look at the incomparably familiar road in the middle of the mountain, took a deep breath of fresh air containing negative ions, turned his head and said to the boy next to him: "Let's go, there is still a lot of training waiting for you when I go back, even if I have to go to school later, you can't relax, keep up with my footsteps as soon as possible, you know?" ”

Brother Simu, who didn't know what was about to happen to him, nodded innocently: "Okay." ”

The delicate and cute little face has grown some meat under Shen Nian's hard feeding, and the originally malnourished and skinny body has also become stronger, and Shen Nian, who has been gearing up for a long time, can finally let go of the exercises.

[Host, he's a real child, you have to pay attention to the intensity.] Tianjiu couldn't help but remind Shen Nian when he saw Shen Nian's eager look.

"Anla, Anla, if you want to become a master, how can you not endure hardships, and I won't want his life, at most the training will be arranged intensively, so that he can think about it all day long."

【…… What if he is too ruthless and rejects? 】

"I took him to a wider world, but I don't allow him to forget that he came from purgatory, and people who don't know how to be motivated and grateful are destined to not go far." Shen Nian didn't want to chase after the mission target like an old mother to feed her, she would give herself twenty years at most to complete the task.

Everything in this world was so real, and the speed of time was so long, that she feared to get lost in it.

*

The warm sun of early spring shines brightly on the new green grass.

On the wide and flat training ground, the boy's cheeks were red and sweating profusely, but his feet were like a thousand pounds of boulders, and his steps became slower and slower with his rapid breathing, and the priest suppressed the pain in his chest and constantly adjusted his breathing and insisted on running.

Looking at the boy who was running fast, Shen Nian finally shouted with compassion to stop, took him to walk slowly and breathed slowly, looking at the boy who was holding his knees and gasping for breath, and said ruthlessly: "The most important thing to control your breathing is running, you are difficult to adapt to at first, and then run 3 laps in the morning every day, take a break and go to class." ”

Looking at Shen Nian, who ran a few laps more than him without panting or getting tired, and was like no one else, the boy who had finally recovered nodded silently.

Since Shen Nian started training him, Si Mu has deeply realized how big a gap there is between himself and Shen Nian, who is only one year older than him, not only well-read, but also excellent in physical strength and martial arts.

Such an excellent Shen Nian has been trying his best to teach him, not only taking him to class and training together, but also taking time to make up lessons for him, from the beginning of the doubt and vigilance to immersion in it, and then to be surrounded by a variety of learning and training tasks without superfluous thoughts.

The busy life of the day gradually filled the bleak and dead world, and the pastor remembered less and less of the gloomy past, and in the life of material abundance, he only immersed himself in study and training.

Day after day, year after year, everything grows and renews over time.
