34. Beat the Reservoir Dogs(1/2)
"What a joke, how can I live in your house."
"Do you look like I'm joking?" Fu Shihan said calmly: "My mother likes you, and we have many rooms. It should be no problem to come to your house for a while during the Chinese New Year. I can also help you make up for the lessons."
It sounds reasonable.
"Your parents agree, but my parents may not be able to agree. Just live in your house like this, what will happen."
"When you were a child, didn't you come to your house to live there often? At that time, you said that you wanted to be my mother's daughter and move to our big house."
Huo Yan's face turned red. She couldn't remember the past for many years, and he could still remember it so clearly.
At that time, I just envied Fu Shihan for having such a big home. It was so fun to play hide-and-seek at home.
"Children are talking nonsense and nonsense." Huo Yan said embarrassedly: "Whoever takes it seriously is the fool."
Fu Shihan sighed leisurely, lay on Huo Yan's small bed, and said lazily: "What should I do? I've really become a fool."
Seeing him like this, Huo Yan couldn't bear it and had to say, "Then let's talk about it for the New Year."
Fu Shihan felt spirited again: "A word is decided."
"Hey, who is determined to tell you!"
**
My parents must keep Fu Shihan at home for dinner. Fu Shihan sat next to Huo Yan and picked up two dishes for her from time to time.
Mother Zhou Ruoping was attentive and attentive: "Ahan, now I can find our house, so I must come and play often in the future."
"Auntie, I will come here often." Fu Shihan said with a smile at Huo Yan.
Huo Yan curled his lips and thought to himself, if he had known that he would not have let you go upstairs, and if he ran to her house every now and then, what would it do?
Zhou Ruoping's eyes were filled with a crescent moon: "That's good, what do you like to eat? Tell my aunt that if you want to come over in the future, my aunt will go to the vegetable market to buy it."
Huo Yan was about to say that Fu Shihan liked to eat fish, but Huo Sinuan, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly said, "Mom, let's forget about your cooking skills, don't embarrass you. Also, our family is so young, Shihan comes over in the future and goes to a hotel outside for dinner."
"Yes." Zhou Ruoping smiled awkwardly: "Mom's craftsmanship is indeed not very good. The house at home is also an old one. It's better to invite Shi Han to come if you move to a new home in the future."
I have lived in my house for many years and my furniture was purchased in a few years. I have been a little older and look very old, so I can't compare to the courtyard villa of Fu Shihan's family.
This is why Huo Sinuan never wanted Fu Shihan to come to his house as a guest, and he did not want to be looked down upon by him.
But moving to a new home is not easy. Now that the housing prices are so high, the family has long lost their savings.
Huo Yan looked up and looked at his awkward mother and his father who had not spoken for a moment, and suddenly felt a sense of anger in his heart.
"Sister, our food is so hard to swallow. Have you grown up eating air over the years?"
When she said that, everyone was stunned, especially Zhou Ruoping. She didn't expect that Huo Yan, who had always been timid, would suddenly speak rudely to her sister.
Huo Yan didn't expect that she would say such things. The so-called "those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to Mo are black. She must have been staying for a long time, and her ability to confront others has increased greatly.
Huo Sinuan smiled, but there was a chill in her eyes: "Sister, you have learned to make fun of your sister."
"No kidding, I just think the food my mom cooks is delicious."
The mother looked at Huo Yan in surprise. The words Huo Sinuan said before really made her unable to hold on to her face. However, Huo Yan's words were thoughtful and made her unable to scold her.
This girl is usually silent, so she is protecting her like this?
A warm current surged in Zhou Ruoping's heart.
"And since Brother Han is willing to come to play at home, he will naturally not think that our family is small." Huo Yan continued: "He doesn't like to eat in any big hotel."
Huo Sinuan's face collapsed, she coughed lightly, regaining her face: "That's fine, I'm also afraid that the home is not well received."
Seeing that the atmosphere became more and more awkward, Zhou Ruoping quickly changed the topic and said to Fu Shihan: "We are not doing anything for the winter vacation. You can go out to watch movies often and bring the smoke together."
When Huo Sinuan heard that his mother actually said she wanted to bring Huo Yan with her, she became angry again. Before she could speak, her father said, "Don't Sinuan go to a dance class during the winter vacation? She agreed to go back to her hometown to visit relatives together, so how could she go to the movie again?"
Huo Sinuan hurriedly said: "It's okay, I can squeeze out time..."
However, before she finished speaking, Fu Shihan interrupted her and said lightly: "If Huo Yan wants to watch a movie, I can't get it with her."
My mother saw that the topic on the table became more and more wrong, and finally stopped matching Huo Sinuan and Fu Shihan.
The topic of watching movies was around the mouths of several people, and the theme changed again and again. Huo Yan buried his head in eating and didn't want to get involved anymore.
Huo Sinuan was full of anger and returned to her room after a few bites of food.
After dinner, Huo Yan helped her mother clean the table and wash dishes as usual. Zhou Ruoping looked at Huo Yan's gentle appearance and compared Huo Sinuan's arrogant and domineering appearance for some reason, she felt a sense of guilt in her heart.
She has always devoted all her efforts to the excellent eldest daughter. She has ignored her youngest daughter for so many years. Now her eldest daughter is hard and is becoming more and more domineering to the old couple. She has no longer looked as obedient as she used to be.
The younger daughter Huo Yan is like this from beginning to end. She is not outstanding and doesn't talk much. However, she will help her clean up the dishes after dinner every day. When she is sick, she will stay by her side all night to take care of her.
Just now, Huo Sinuan confronted her in front of an outsider, leaving her faceless, and her younger daughter was also talking to her.
She was clearly well-behaved, and she had ignored her for so many years.
"Yanyan, you go out for a rest. Just come back and leave the kitchen to your mother."
"It's okay." Huo Yan skillfully tied his apron: "I made this big table of dishes today, it must be difficult to pack them up."
It was she who brought Fu Shihan back, so it was also worth helping her mother clean up.
Zhou Ruoping felt more and more guilty, and she secretly wiped the corners of her eyes when she turned her back.
Later, Fu Shihan was about to leave. His father Huo Cun'an said unexpectedly that he would send Fu Shihan downstairs. Fu Shihan saw that he had something to say, so he simply did not refuse and just whispered to Huo Yan: "Remember to call me."
Huo Yan said "Oh" in a muffled voice.
Apart from fighting, the two of them had nothing to talk about, and he also liked to ask her to call him.
Downstairs, Huo Cun'an was straight to the point and said to Fu Shihan: "I don't allow you to hurt any of my daughters."
Fu Shihan was very thoughtful and naturally understood immediately that Huo Cun'an had already understood his thoughts about Huo Yan.
He simply said, "I don't want to hurt Huo Sinuan."
Huo Cunan lit a cigarette for himself and said slowly: "Even if you don't have this intention, your actions have already hurt her. Her dream since childhood is to marry you and become your wife."
Fu Shihan smiled faintly and said, "Uncle, it's better to say that it was your wishful thinking that hurt her."
"you..."
Fu Shihan continued: "I never said I wanted to marry Huo Sinuan, and I can also solemnly tell you that I will not marry her."
Huo Cunan naturally didn't want to lose his attitude in front of his younger generation, so he calmed down his emotions and continued: "I know, now you all want to talk about a free love, and uncle won't force you. Since you said you didn't want to marry her, uncle will naturally do ideological work for her, but what's wrong with Huo Yan!"
Speaking of Huo Yan, Fu Shihan's originally cold and naive eyes also had a little more gentleness—
"I like Huo Yan. A few years ago, my grandfather mentioned that he wanted me to marry the daughter of the Huo family, so I chose her."
When Huo Cunan heard this, he almost choked a puff of cigarette.
"What a nonsense! A nonsense!"
"I'm talking about the heart."
"You are the daughters of our Huo family, and you can choose from them. You can ask for whatever you want?"
It can be seen that Huo Cunan was really angry.
But Fu Shihan's expression was unprecedentedly serious and determined: "Huo Yan called me brother since childhood. If she wanted, she could be my sister for the rest of her life. But if she had even a slight desire for me, it would be beyond the affection of brother and sister, I would not let go."
Huo Cun'an's eyes trembled slightly, and he looked at Fu Shihan. He was neither humble nor arrogant, cautious and appropriate.
This child has been like this since he was a child. He is respectful and polite to his elders, but he will never be foolish and filial. He has his own ideas and opinions, and he is also a satisfactory son-in-law in his work.
It's a pity...
"You have to know that Huo Yan has been honest since childhood, not smart enough, and..."
It is natural that you speak only at the age of five.
Huo Cunan shook his head: "She is not suitable for you, and the Fu family will not agree."
If the Huo family is a good match, the Huo family will naturally not match the Fu family. However, Huo Sinuan is determined to marry Fu Shihan. From childhood to adulthood, she studied dance and piano, cultivated various interests and hobbies, and was admitted to a prestigious university to make herself better and her parents extremely proud...
In the eyes of parents, putting aside family background, Huo Sinuan is worthy of Fu Shihan as far as his children are concerned.
However, before Huo Cun'an finished speaking, Fu Shihan said, "If you like it, you like it. Even if Huo Yan was missing, his arms and legs were broken, I like it."
At this moment, he had a little more youthful spirit and no longer had the same old and persistent appearance.
Huo Cunan choked the cigarette again, and almost raised it up in one breath. Who are you talking about? You are missing your arms and legs!
He sighed: "I can't agree to this matter now. This is too unfair to Sinuan."
"Uncle, maybe I don't have a good time to interfere in your family affairs, but I still want to tell you that since childhood, how much love you have for Huo Sinuan, and how pity I, Fu Shihan, have for Huo Yan."
After hearing this, Huo Cunan was shocked, and the cigarette butts in his hand were shaking.
Fu Shihan bent at him slightly, turned around and opened the car door, started the engine and left.
**
The final exam results were announced on the school’s academic affairs online system.
Huo Yan didn't think how high her score was at first. Until she compared it with other students in the class group, she found that her grades were quite good. Each course was above 90 points. Even the most difficult compilation principle, she successfully got 95 points. More than one-third of the class failed this course, and very few students could get 80 points.
Huo Yan actually got 95 points in this course, which is definitely the first in the class.
