Chapter 52 Huo Wanwan
In the small foreign-style building of the Huo family in Jiangcheng, the sound of kicking and stomping downstairs came from the second floor. Huo Wanwan came downstairs wearing a pair of slippers.
Huo Wanwan, who is the same age as Tang Nian, scratched her hair randomly: "Mom, where is eldest brother?"
Huo Wanwan didn't know about Huo Jinnan's trip to Baoshan Village. Today, the 6th, she came back from boarding school but didn't see her elder brother, so she asked.
Xu Yunqin was cleaning up in the kitchen. She heard her daughter's voice and thought of her son going to Baoshan Village. She could not relax her brows for a long time.
Especially when Huo Jinnan went to Baoshan Village, she inevitably met the Tang family. She said angrily: "Your eldest brother is out of luck. He was assigned to Baoshan Village by the school."
How did Xu Yunqin know that it was actually Huo Jinnan who specifically chose to go to Baoshan Village as a volunteer?
"Ah?" The beautiful Huo Wanwan heard this and said in surprise: "I went to Baoshan Village! Why didn't I know what happened when? Did the eldest brother go back to live in our old compound?"
Xu Yunqin looked at her daughter strangely: "A few days ago, he probably took the key from home. Wanwan, why do you ask this?"
Huo Wanwan was wearing slippers, grinning, and hurriedly went into the room to change clothes, "I haven't been back for a long time. Since the eldest brother is in Baoshan Village, I will go over and have a look! I just want to meet the eldest brother too!"
Huo Wanwan, who grew up in Baoshan Village, also has certain feelings for Baoshan Village.
She laughed twice and went back to the room to change clothes.
"Huo Wanwan! What are you doing in Baoshan Village? It's a mess over there, don't go there." Xu Yunqin shouted angrily, even if her son went to Baoshan Village, her daughter actually wanted to go too?
They really didn't know what to say. They thought back then, she and Huo Feng looked forward to going back to the city every day, but these two children liked going to the countryside.
Xu Yunqin stood at the door of Huo Wanwan's room with a sullen expression: "Wanwan, are you going to be like your brother and piss me off to death, one by one, why do you want to go back?"
"Mom, isn't this eldest brother here? Besides, I grew up there and am very familiar with him. If not, there's Uncle Tang. I haven't been back for a long time. Mom, I'm leaving."
Huo Wanwan went to a boarding school in junior high school and seldom went back to her home, let alone Baoshan Village.
She changed into a white shirt, wore a pair of wide-leg nine-point pants, and a pair of black leather shoes with one strap. She waved to Xu Yunqin with a happy face and went out directly.
Xu Yunqin, who was following behind, couldn't stop him.
Standing at the door of her house, Xu Yunqin looked at Huo Wanwan's back disappearing around the corner, and waved her rolling pin angrily.
Feng Meilan, the next-door neighbor who came back from outside, saw Xu Yunqin and narrowed her eyes with a smile: "Sister-in-law Huo, what are you doing?"
Xu Yunqin was wearing autumn clothes and long trousers, and she was holding a rolling pin in her hand. She came out in a hurry and didn't even take care of her hair. She looked really embarrassed.
She coughed lightly: "...It's okay, you just came back from shopping for groceries?"
Xu Yunqin glanced at Feng Meilan's hand before stopping her and asked politely.
Suddenly, Xu Yunqin remembered that Feng Meilan had a daughter who was the same age as Huo Jinnan. She had just been admitted to college this year. She was a very scholarly girl. She had met her several times during the summer vacation.
She is from the city, is their neighbor, and has been admitted to university. No matter how you look at it, Jiang Rou is more suitable for Huo Jinnan than Tang Nian from the village.
Xu Yunqin had always disagreed with the marriage Huo Jinnan had decided on, so naturally she would not miss any opportunity to change it.
Her son has a high vision and is very picky. Maybe when he goes to Baoshan Village to meet Tang Nian this time, he will take the initiative to break off the engagement. Xu Yunqin smiled at Feng Meilan: "Your Jiang Rou went to school? Where is she?
Read it?"
Mentioning her daughter, Feng Meilan smiled even deeper, raised her chin, straightened her body, and said proudly: "Well, she is studying in Lincheng. Our family Jiang Rou is pretty good. I thought she had passed the junior college exam, but she didn't.
University."
In this era, most people go to technical secondary schools after junior high school. High school and junior college graduates are all highly educated, let alone university.
Feng Meilan was extremely proud.
Xu Yunqin complimented her a few words appropriately, but she couldn't stand Feng Meilan's always complacent sense of superiority, so she went back to the house without saying a few words.
On Baoshan Mountain in Baoshan Village, the rising sun passed through the clouds and mist, shining on the ground little by little through the overlapping branches and leaves of the trees.
Tang Nian and Huo Jinnan had already climbed the hillside and started collecting herbs.
Tang Min, who didn't know anything, couldn't even tell the difference between poisonous mushrooms, and was even said to be picking medicine. She followed Huo Jinnan dully, always looking for an opportunity to talk to Huo Jinnan.
In contrast, Tang Nian stayed far away from Huo Jinnan and carefully collected herbs.
However, all she was thinking about was the engagement. She had not had time to think about it for a while. Today, after Tang Min reminded her, she thought about it again.
She pursed her lower lip lightly, and it seemed that she had to put the matter of breaking off the engagement on the agenda as soon as possible.
Tang Nian, who was thinking about it, didn't notice Huo Jinnan suddenly approaching. It wasn't until Huo Jinnan turned sideways and a face with a ghostly ax and a magic sword appeared in front of Tang Nian that she sat on the ground in fright.
Tang Nian took a few breaths and wiped his forehead in shock: "Brother Nan, do you know that being scary can scare people to death?"
"Are you scared?" Huo Jinnan pursed his lips tightly and immediately helped Tang Nian up: "Girl, what are you thinking about? You are so fascinated." "Ah!! There is a snake! Help!!"
Suddenly Tang Min's scream interrupted their conversation again.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Min leaned towards Huo Jinnan, his hands ready to hug Huo Jinnan's arms. Huo Jinnan's reaction and agility were beyond ordinary people. When Tang Min
When he was about to pick him up, Huo Jinnan took a step forward quietly, causing Tang Min to miss him.
"Ah!" Tang Min yelled again to cover up his discomfort.
Huo Jinnan looked coldly into the bushes. It was no surprise that there was a snake here. He quickly picked up the snake. A small grass snake was quickly caught in Huo Jinnan's hand.
Huo Jinnan deliberately took the snake's head in the direction of Tang Min. Tang Min was so frightened that she jumped back and did not dare to approach Huo Jinnan at all.
"Sister! There's a snake!" Tang Min hid behind Tang Nian.
Tang Nian had already seen snakes when she and Huo Jinnan met for the first time. Although she was also afraid of snakes, she was much calmer now. She said in a gentle voice: "There are more than just snakes on the mountain. If you are afraid, you will be afraid of snakes in the future."
Just don’t come up.”
Tang Min shivered.
Huo Jinnan raised his eyebrows at Tang Nian with a subtle expression: "Xiao Niannian, aren't you scared?"
