This seems to be... Uncle gave him
Ouyang suddenly recalled the time when Lin Suizhou slapped him. He didn't pay attention at the time, but now that he thinks about it, it's clear that he stuffed something in when he wasn't paying attention.
Ouyang pursed his lips, clutching the note and struggling in his heart.
His thoughts were a little chaotic, his breathing was short, and his vision was a little blurred.
Ouyang closed his eyes, in the darkness, various chaotic images flashed in front of his eyes, some were living with his grandmother, some were arguing with the first day of junior high school, and there were shallow smiles...
These are the most precious memories for him, memories that he will never forget in this life.
Finally, the nanny's ferocious eyebrows and Qiulan's thin smile appeared in front of my eyes.
He doesn't belong here.
At this moment, this cognition made him extremely clear.
He is leaving.
Ouyang took a deep breath and opened his eyes, looking around, the room was dark. He glanced upstairs and after making sure no one came down, Ouyang dragged his injured body to the phone.
With trembling hands, he finally picked up the phone and entered the number slowly.
There was a beeping sound from the phone, and the waiting time was short but long. Finally, the phone was connected, and a man's deep and magnetic voice came from the other end, "Hello."
Hearing this voice, Ouyang burst into tears.
Ouyang tugged at the phone line, his voice trembling: "Uncle, I... I want to go home."
He really wants to go home, really wants to...
"I want to get out of here..."
Ouyang couldn't help sobbing, Lin Suizhou on the other end of the phone had deep eyes, he listened quietly, and after a while he said slowly: "Okay, I'll take you home."
The phone hangs up.
In fact, Lin Suizhou and Jiang Tang were not far from the bungalow, and they were worried about leaving Ouyang there alone. After sending them back to the hotel on the first day of junior high school, the two of them had been waiting here for Ouyang's call.
At this moment, Jiang Tang, who was drowsy, woke up instantly. She rubbed her eyes and sat up from Lin Suizhou: "Did Ouyang call?"
"Um."
Hearing his answer, Jiang Tang let out a long sigh of relief: "Great, let's go there now."
Lin Suizhou glanced out the window and nodded in response.
The driver followed behind.
When we arrived at Xiaoyanglou, the driver rang the doorbell.
It's not too late now, except for Qiu Lanyi, the nanny is still awake.
Soon, the nanny came downstairs. She looked around, but she didn't see Ouyang's figure. Then she noticed that the light in the bathroom was on. After a cold snort, the nanny came to the door and looked out from the cat's eye.
Or the two people during the day.
The nanny frowned, and it was not easy to drive away directly, so she patiently asked, "Do you have anything else to do?"
"We have something for Ouyang, put it down and leave."
"What?" The nanny was very vigilant.
Lin Suizhou: "Some money, did he sleep? If he didn't sleep, I will trouble you to hand it over."
money…
The nanny's eyes lit up immediately, she rolled her eyes, and opened the door without saying a word.
Looking at Lin Suizhou and Jiang Tang at the door, the nanny's attitude changed 360 degrees. She bent down slightly and smiled flatteringly: "Ouyang is asleep, you give me the money, and I will give it to him later."
Jiang Tang, who was standing beside Lin Suizhou, looked behind her.
Under the dim light, Ouyang was covered with scars, and stared at her with red eyes.
Jiang Tang's heart was shocked by that miserable appearance, and he kicked the nanny with his foot.
The kick was swift and strong, and the nanny staggered back a few steps, and fell to the ground with a thud. When she fell to the ground, the flower pot was not easily brought down, and it crackled and shattered all over the ground.
Her eyes widened, her expression startled.
"Yangyang, come here."
Ouyang bypassed the nanny and hid behind Jiang Tang.
"Let me see." She squatted down and looked Ouyang up and down.
The little guy's scalp was torn open, blood scabs had already formed, and his face and body were covered with bruises and pinches. Jiang Tang was heartbroken, and carefully stroked his red and swollen left eye, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." He shook his head and gave a miserable smile.
Jiang Tang's tears almost burst into tears.
The movement below has disturbed Qiu Lanyi, who was resting upstairs, footsteps came from above, followed by a woman's lazy voice, "Aunt Liu, why are you so noisy?"
Seeing Qiulan come down, the nanny scrambled to sit up, slapped her thigh and cried, "Ma'am, these people rushed in just to beat me, you need to ask us for an explanation!"
When Qiulan saw it, she was stunned.
He stood tall and tall at the door, the cold moonlight stared at his eyes with indifference, the man was noble and indifferent, without restraint.
Lin Suizhou.
Qiulan is no stranger to him.
Next to him is his wife.
"This is not Boss Lin." Qiulan quickly regained her senses, with a half-smile on her face.
She walked down the stairs and glanced at Ouyang who was in Jiang Tang's arms, "Where are you doing?"
Ouyang firmly held Jiang Tang's hand and didn't speak.
"Not yet." Qiulan ordered in her calm voice.
Ouyang still didn't move.
Qiulan snorted and laughed: "Do you know each other?"
Jiang Tang stood in front of Ouyang, blocking Qiulan's sight.
She said: "Ouyang and I are friends, may I ask who you are?"
Qiulan looked proud: "I am her mother."
"Mother?" Jiang Tang squinted her eyes, "If I remember correctly, Ouyang's mother has passed away. May I ask what kind of mother you are?"
Qiulan glanced at Ouyang: "Ou Pingyun is my husband."
Jiang Tang understood.
This woman is probably the Mrs. Ou who was so clever in the plot of the original book and caused the ruin of Ouyang's family. She used fallacies to kill Ouyang's biological mother, Xu Qingqing, and portrayed herself as a kind and generous wife, making everyone around her sympathize with her. When Ouyang grew up, she came to revenge and fell into her hands more than once.
Compared to Ou Pingyun, Qiu Lanyi was the real big boss. She didn't have any mercy in her heart, and the rest was just scheming.
"Your son was physically abused by the nanny, did you know about this?"
Qiulan's expression was still cold, she folded her arms around her chest, and looked at his nanny coldly: "I only come here every now and then, and the children are brought by Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu, did you hit someone?"
The nanny looked up: "I..."
"Okay." Qiulan waved her hand, "You don't need to work here anymore, just pack up and get out, I'll have someone transfer your salary to your account."
When she heard that she was going to lose this easy job, Nanny Liu's heart skipped a beat, and she quit immediately. She patted her butt and stood up from the ground, "Ma'am, you can't do this, I will do everything you tell me."
Qiulan's face remained unchanged: "Where is the evidence? Do you have any evidence?"
evidence…
The nanny was dumbfounded, where is the evidence for her.
"On the contrary, if you abuse children, it's fine if I didn't sue you. Now I'm still beating you up. Get out, I don't want to see you."
At this point, if she said more, she might be persecuted.
Aunt Liu was still a little reconciled, but she didn't dare to do more. She lowered her head, obediently went to pack her luggage, and then left the small western building.
As soon as the nanny left, only Qiu Lanyi was left in the living room.
"Even if you are Ouyang's friends, you can't break into a private house? You're breaking the law." Qiulan lit a cigarette, looking at Jiang Tang and Ouyang disdainfully from the corner of her eyes.
Jiang Tang smiled and said, "We were invited in by your nanny, it's not considered trespassing."
"What do you two want to do here?"
Jiang Tang was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, and said directly: "I don't think Ouyang is suitable to live here, we decided to take him out of here."
"Okay." Qiulan agreed without hesitation, "You can take him away, but let's make it clear first, if you decide to adopt him, he will have nothing to do with the Ou family in the future, let alone appear in front of us."
"Of course, even if you don't say it, I will do it."
Jiang Tang knew that Qiulan hated Ouyang's existence very much, and wished that others would come to take over the offer. Now that they came, she naturally had no reason to refuse.
"It would be best." Qiulan stood up, "His things are upstairs, you pack them up and leave."
Jiang Tang led Ouyang up to pack the luggage he needed, while Lin Suizhou and the driver waited quietly below.
Qiulan sneered; "Mr. Lin's vision is not very good, and the wife he found is too hot-tempered."
Unlike other women, she is either afraid of Lin Suizhou or fawning on her. She is not afraid, and she will hate anyone who doesn't like her, and Lin Suizhou is no exception.
Lin Suizhou lowered his eyes lightly: "It's better than Ms. Qiu."
Qiulan's expression changed instantly.
Everyone in the circle knows what kind of virtue Qiulan once married. If anyone has bad vision, she has the worst vision.
Soon, Jiang Tang led Ouyang down from above.
He only carried a schoolbag with his personal items in it. As for the one Qiulan bought for him, he didn't bring any of it.
"To be on the safe side, let's sign an agreement later." Qiulan hurriedly got rid of this trouble, for fear that he would accidentally come back again.
Jiang Tang's eyes narrowed: "Of course, I'm also afraid that what you say won't count."
She embraced Ouyang and pulled him away from this small western-style building.
In the car, Ouyang leaned against Jiang Tang and fell into a deep sleep.
Looking at the tired little face, Jiang Tang was very distressed. After gently stroking the hair, she whispered, "I seemed to hit someone just now."
Lin Suizhou smiled: "Didn't you fight?"
Jiang Tang nuzzled: "I mean, I want to hit that Qiu Lanyi, it's really annoying to look at."
Lin Suizhou's smile deepened: "If you really fight, we will be in trouble."
"I know." No matter how impulsive she is, she won't be out of her mind. Even if she feels unwilling, she can't really have a physical conflict with Qiu Lanyi. Otherwise, let alone taking Ouyang away, I'm afraid I'll have to take it in myself.
"I'll definitely vent my anger on Ouyang." Jiang Tang pursed her lips and secretly made up her mind that Ouyang was more or less her half son, and she couldn't let people bully him for no reason.
The car left the town and entered the city.
The night scene is bustling, and the shops on the street are hung with colorful lights, welcoming the second day of Christmas.
Ouyang's eyelashes trembled and he woke up slowly.
He got up and looked out the window: "Can you stop the car?"
"But we have to go to the hospital first."
Ouyang shook his head: "I want to go down and buy something."
With his stubborn eyes, Jiang Tang couldn't refuse, so he ordered the driver to stop the car by the side of the road.
Jiang Tang followed behind Ouyang.
He limped to a store, Jiang Tang looked up and found that it was a jewelry store.
Ouyang opened the door and walked in.
The blond-haired and blue-eyed salesperson was wearing a red-and-white Christmas dress, smiling affectionately and sweetly. Ouyang didn't look sideways, went directly to the counter, then pointed to the cabinet, and said in not-so-fluent English: "Please give me this place."
Jiang Tang lowered her eyes and looked over.
It was a delicate little hairpin, in the shape of a sunflower, with a small rhinestone in the middle. The price was not expensive for her, but it was sky-high for a child.
When Jiang Tang was about to take out his wallet to pay the bill, he saw Ouyang opened his schoolbag and poured out all the banknotes in the piggy bank, which happened to pay the fee this time.
"Please wrap it up for me."
"OK."
After the salesperson packed the hairpin in a small box, he also gave him a lollipop: "Merry Christmas."
Facing that heart-warming smile, the haze in Ouyang's heart was swept away: "Merry Christmas."
Saying goodbye to the salesperson, Ouyang left the jewelry store contentedly holding the box.
With people coming and going on the street, Ouyang looked up at Jiang Tang, with a slightly apologetic tone: "Sister, I'm sorry..."
Jiang Tang lowered her eyes: "Why are you apologizing to me?"
He bit his lower lip: "I don't have money to give you Christmas presents."
Jiang Tang was taken aback for a moment, and then, pity filled her.
She embraced Ouyang's thin shoulders: "I have already received it. It is the best gift for Ouyang to come back to me."
His widened eyes were full of astonishment, and then tears welled up in his eyes.
"Come on, we're going to the hospital for an examination."
Ouyang frowned: "I don't want to go to the hospital..."
"What's wrong?"
"Today is Qianqian's birthday." He stroked the box with his little fingers, "I want to give her the dress."
Jiang Tang's eyelashes trembled: "So... this gift is for Qianqian?"
"Yes." Ouyang nodded.
Before I came to the city with my teacher to buy class supplies, I accidentally found this jewelry store, and I accidentally fell in love with this small hairpin. At that time, I thought, Qianqian would look good on it, although I don’t know why He can see Qianqian from time to time, but he still decides to buy the things.
So Ouyang picked up some scraps to sell when he had nothing to do, or helped his classmates and neighbors build grass to earn pocket money. He was afraid that the nanny would know that these operations were done secretly. Just in time for my birthday.
Ouyang looked at Jiang Tang anxiously: "I want to give Qianqian a gift myself, can I?"
Under the neon light, his eyes were clean and expectant.
Jiang Tang couldn't refuse a child's wish, so he finally nodded.
Seeing her promise, Ouyang smiled again.
Re-boarding the car, the car deviated from the track and went to the hotel.
At this point, the children had already fallen asleep and took Ouyang into the room. Jiang Tang and Lin Suizhou were waiting at the door, but did not follow.
Ouyang tiptoed into the room, and Qianqian was sleeping soundly with the bear doll in his arms. He blinked, not wanting to disturb her, and carefully placed the jewelry box next to her pillow, then turned and prepared to leave.
However, at this moment, someone grabbed his sleeve.
On the first day of the junior high school, he turned his head and met a pair of foggy eyes.
Qianqian tilted her head, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth; "...Brother Ouyang."
Ouyang suffocated for breath, and was at a loss for a moment: "Did I wake you up?"
He shook his little head lightly.
"That… "
"What is this?" Qianqian noticed something beside the bed, and reached out to open it.
He blushed: "Birth, birthday present."
Qianqian puffed up her cheeks and looked at the clock: "But it's 0 o'clock now, and Qianqian's birthday has passed."
"... Oh." Ouyang lowered his head, his expression instantly lost.
Covering her mouth shallowly, she giggled and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
She stretched her arms to grab the clock out, turned the hour hand to 11 o'clock with her fingers, and said to Ouyang, "Look, it's Christmas Eve again."
Ouyang was so shocked by Qianqian's coquettish operation that he couldn't speak.
Not only Ouyang, but also Jiang Tang, who was peeking outside, was shocked. Did her little daughter's intelligence be used in the wrong place? ? ?
Qianqian opened the box with her chubby little hands, and the sunflower hairpin reflected a faint luster under the orange light. She let out a wow, her eyes full of love.
"Before... I accidentally broke your hairpin, and this is for you, if you like it."
"I like it." Qianqian hugged the hairpin lovingly, smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Brother Ouyang."
He turned away, very shy.
Qianqian blinked her eyes, and when she caught a glimpse of his face full of wounds, her expression immediately became sad, and her small hand carefully touched the corner of his bruised mouth: "Brother Ouyang, do you feel pain?"
"I don't hurt."
She still looked like she was about to cry.
Ouyang hurriedly said: "Really, I don't feel pain. If you don't believe me, take a look."
As he spoke, he pulled his injured face hard.
The movement was a little awkward, and she grinned in pain.
Qianqian got up and held his face, closed her eyes and kissed his wound, "The pain flies away, so it won't hurt~~"
I guess it worked.
Ouyang felt... I really don't feel any pain anymore.
The corners of Lin Suizhou's eyes twitched outside the door, and he was about to rush in to settle accounts with that kid.
Jiang Tang hurriedly pulled him back: "Zhou Zai, don't make trouble."
Lin Suizhou gritted his teeth secretly. He decided that when this kid Zhang grows up to be 18 years old, he will be left behind.
