Cen Ning's grandfather used to be a war reporter. When Yan Guofeng was in the army, the two had a life-threatening friendship on the battlefield, and they might make an agreement that they would become in-laws.
But it was just a word of mouth, after Yan Guofeng went farther and farther in the military and political affairs, and his position became higher and higher, Cen Ning's grandfather consciously stayed away and returned to his hometown.
But Yan Guofeng spent his whole life in the army, and he attached great importance to brotherhood. Although he hadn't contacted Grandpa Cen Ning for a long time, when he later heard that he passed away and his weak family was left with only orphans and widows, he did not hesitate to send Cen Ning to him. The mother and daughter took over.
Moreover, he felt very guilty.
In fact, he always thought that this old friend would have a good life. When the two of them contacted each other in the early years, the old friend never showed that life was difficult. They even joked about their grandson and granddaughter. So he never doubted it, nor did he try to find out more about it.
He should have thought earlier that Mr. Cen is just stubborn, and he just doesn't want to trouble others.
As for the previous verbal agreement, Yan Guofeng has never forgotten it. But in this age there is no reason to force it, and Cen Ning is indeed still young, so there is no need to emphasize the topic of marriage.
But he swore in his heart that he would never let this little girl suffer any more. If she is willing to marry in the future, then there is absolutely no reason why the Yan family would not want to marry.
"What are you doing while you're standing, and you still don't come over." Yan Guofeng said in a deep voice to his words and deeds.
The eyes of words and deeds raised slightly, and from Cen Ning's angle, he could just see the indifference and indifference in his eyes, but he hid it quickly, he put the milk box aside, and walked over.
After approaching, he nodded to Wei Pinfang who was sitting on the sofa: "Hello."
Detached and polite, can't fault it at all.
Then his eyes fell on Cen Ning again, he briefly curled his lips towards her, and said politely with no expression on his face: "From now on, Auntie and... this sister, if you have any unsolvable problems in life, please come to me anytime. .”
Wei Pinfang hurriedly smiled and said, "You just do what you want, are you in high school?"
Nodding in words and deeds: "Senior year."
"Oh, the grades should be very good. Ningning just entered the first year of junior high school, and her grades are really bad."
Cen Ning's grades were indeed not good, but at the moment when Wei Pinfang praised and belittled her, she suddenly felt inferior and embarrassed. She clasped her hands tightly again, lowered her head and did not speak.
"It's okay. If you don't have good grades, you can catch up. Ningning is still young." Yan Guofeng comforted him, "I can ask Xingzhi to make up for you in the future. His grades are not bad, so if you don't know how to do it, you can ask him."
Wei Pinfang: "Oh, what's the matter? The third year of high school is a critical time. Don't let Ningning disturb him."
"What's the matter, he usually doesn't study at home, he's idle."
Do you not study
Can the grades be good
Cen Ning secretly looked up at the words and deeds, and suddenly felt that his aperture seemed to be a little more.
"All right, come and sit here." Yan Guofeng pointed to the seat next to Cen Ning.
Cen Ning's heart tightened inexplicably, but the next second, the man said, "I'm sweating all over after playing, I'll take a shower first, and you two can talk slowly."
The whole person relaxed for a while, but felt a little lost.
Cen Ning looked up and watched him go straight up the stairs, the white sportswear quickly disappeared at the top of the stairs, like the wind, leaving no room for anyone to stop him.
After the words and deeds, he didn't come down. It wasn't until after dinner time that Auntie Chen, who was cooking at Yan's family, went upstairs to call him, only to see him come out of the room unhurriedly.
In the restaurant at this time, the dining table is full of delicious food, which is so rich that it is extravagant.
At the dining table, there are also more parents who have returned from their speeches and deeds.
Cen Ning ate her meal properly, but occasionally secretly looked at her uncles and aunts who were strangers to her.
Father Yan was very serious and looked a little fierce. Yan's mother is very beautiful. The aunts and aunts I saw in the place where Cen Ning lived were all aged and unglamorous, but the woman in front of me... She should be older than her mother, but she looks really young and beautiful .
"Ning Ning, don't eat at all, eat more, you are too thin." Yan Guofeng took care.
Cen Ning came back to his senses, and quickly picked up a piece of meat: "Yes, I, I am eating!"
"Well, don't be restrained, this will be your home from now on."
"...Thank you, Grandpa."
After dinner, Yan Guofeng asked Yan Xingzhi to take Cen Ning and Wei Pinfang to their place of residence.
In fact, they live not far away, in a small building next to this villa, because it is attached to the villa, so there is a small corridor in the middle.
Yan Guofeng was more caring, he was afraid that Wei Pinfang and Cen Ning would suddenly feel uncomfortable living with them, so he let them live in this independent small building.
It is said to be a small building, but it is not small at all. It has a living room, a kitchen, and two large rooms. After Wei Pinfang came in, he went to the kitchen and living room to look around, while Yan Xingzhi led Cen Ning to look at the room.
"You will sleep here from now on. There is food and drink in the kitchen. If you still need anything, tell Lao Gao, and he will buy it." Yan Xingzhi stood at the door of the room and did not go in. He just explained to her in a business-like manner, "And , your luggage will be delivered to you."
Cen Ning stood beside him cautiously, and nodded upon hearing this.
"Don't go in and have a look, are you not satisfied?"
"No." Cen Ning quickly waved his hands.
As he lowered his words and deeds, he could see the little girl's small palms dangling in front of his eyes, the panic was a little funny to watch.
Cen Ning: "I'm not, not satisfied. This place is very, very good."
"that's fine."
Cen Ning doesn't talk very much, so it's only now that he doesn't realize that she seems to be stuttering.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, but didn't say anything more: "You rest, I'm leaving first."
"Words, words..."
When he turned around, the little girl next to him called him timidly, but when he looked back at her, she blushed and couldn't say his name.
He has lived in words and deeds until now, and he is surrounded by children from aristocratic families. No matter how bad he is, he is still outstanding among ordinary people.
He had never seen such a pitiful and timid person as Cen Ning.
So until now, he is still puzzled by the fact that his grandfather mentioned "she is his fiancee" in the past.
Of course, this matter will not have any impact on him, after all, he is just a kid, what does he know.
Words and deeds: "what else."
"No..." Cen Ning pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Yes, thank you."
"Need not."
Words and deeds left, not long after, Lao Gao brought the luggage of the two mothers and daughters over.
Now that Cen Ning has her own separate room, she is happily arranging her clothes, but her clothes are also pitifully scarce, so when she puts them in the luxurious and bright wardrobe, she looks very sad.
However, this did not affect Cen Ning's good mood.
"Ning Ning."
Cen Ning stopped, looked back at Wei Pinfang who walked into her room, "Mom."
"You said that grandpa has found a school for you, and you will go to school after a while."
Cen Ning was slightly taken aback, "Then, will we still, will we go home?"
"Go home?" Wei Pinfang sneered, "There is no home to go back to. Your irresponsible father just left us dead. Where are we going to go? And who can I support with my body?"
Cen Ning's eyes trembled slightly: "But, this is not our house, how long will we stay..."
"It will be your home in the future." Seeing Cen Ning's ignorant look, Wei Pinfang said seriously, "Your father is sorry for us, and I am sorry for you... But Ningning, now is your chance, you must seize it Opportunity, study hard, listen well, you know."
Cen Ning was half confused and half understanding, she looked at Wei Pinfang's haggard face, and finally responded with a low voice.
**
Yan Guofeng sent a lot of things to the two mothers and daughters, especially Cen Ning. He ordered his people to buy her a lot of new clothes. But in the next few days, Cen Ning didn't see his words and deeds again. He heard from Lao Gao that he went to school. So Cen Ning often sat alone in the small courtyard, staring at this luxurious villa in a daze.
She is lonely, but she is lonely everywhere.
My mother was always bedridden because of her illness. No one was with her when she was at home, and she was not willing to play with her when she was at school. So she is very used to the boring state here now.
On this day, she secretly took out the camera in the suitcase, and sat on a chair in the courtyard to fiddle with it.
This camera was her father's favorite and the only thing left to her. But Wei Pinfang hated the camera very much, so she never took it out in front of her, and would only secretly take it out to take a look when she missed her father.
"Hey, look, it's her, brother Tang Zheng said, my brother's wife!" Suddenly, a boy's voice came from the front, clear and crisp, a little immature.
Cen Ning looked up, and saw several children around her age appeared in the small courtyard at some point.
"..."
"What kind of wife, nonsense, she is far worse than Sister Peiyan." A little girl sculpted in pink and jade sneered contemptuously, and walked up to Cen Ning, "Hey, get up."
"who are you."
"My name is Xue Xiaoxiao!" The little girl is thirteen or fourteen years old, about the same as Cen Ning, but taller by a whole head, "Get up and let me see."
Cen Ning was not used to facing so many people at once, so she kept silent, got up, turned around and walked into the building.
"You are not allowed to go!" Xue Xiaoxiao stopped in front of her at once, and after stopping, she looked her up and down, "Hey, I will only say this once, brother Yanzhi belongs to sister Peiyan, you are not allowed to come here here."
"..."
Xue Xiaoxiao stared, Cen Ning's silent appearance filled her with enthusiasm as if a basin of ice water had been poured on her.
After a few seconds of silence, Cen Ning wanted to walk around her again, and Xue Xiaoxiao was even more upset, so she snatched the camera that Cen Ning was carefully holding in her arms, "Stop!"
With nothing in his arms, Cen Ning looked back at her in surprise, "Give this back to me."
Seeing that she was finally willing to speak, Xue Xiaoxiao said proudly, "No, unless you move away."
"I, don't move."
"If you don't move, I won't pay you back!"
"You, you pay me back."
Xue Xiaoxiao retreated to the side of a few children who were watching the fun, and said arrogantly, "We don't have a country bumpkin like you here, so you leave immediately, and I will pay you back when you leave."
"You, you!" Cen Ning's cheeks flushed, she couldn't say any curse words, so she could only step forward to grab her.
She was very afraid of conflicts with others, but this was his father's camera, and it was also her most precious thing, and she would never let others take it away no matter what.
But after all, there are so many people, and she is short, how could she be able to get what Xue Xiaoxiao was holding.
She was so anxious that she was about to cry, and someone beside her said anxiously: "Xiaoxiao, why don't you give it back to her, what if she cries."
"I didn't make it difficult on purpose, I just asked her to leave here." The child who was used to being spoiled at home said something unreasonable and seemed to be reasonable, Xue Xiaoxiao snorted, "Leave her alone, let's go."
Just as he turned around, he turned back and said, "Hey Cen Ning, let me know when you're leaving, and I'll return your crap at that time."
…
A group of children gradually drifted away, and the sound of sparse conversations also came over.
"Hey, she seems to be crying."
"Cry and cry, what are you afraid of?"
"Ah... what if my brother finds out."
"Words and deeds, do you love me? Do you want Sister Peiyan to make up your homework for you?"
"Yes!"
"That's it. Everyone says that brother Yan doesn't like this person, don't you know that, and you still count on him for support? Are you stupid?"
The author has something to say: Stupid or not? Are you stupid
