"Hey, Xiaobei, your dad is nagging you right now!" Zou Xiaobei's stepmother Zhou Lianfeng beamed when she saw her stepson.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Zou Xiaobei felt quite complicated, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

It is said that it is difficult to be a stepmother. In his previous life, Zou Xiaobei was not sensible at that time and always had a feeling of resistance towards his stepmother.

Although Zhou Lianfeng was nice to Zou Xiaobei on the surface, she was not her biological child after all.

Aunt Liu slowly walked to the door of Zou Xiaobei's house and continued to say to Zhou Lianfeng: "Those who have studied are different. Your Xiaobei has grown up."

In his previous life, Zou Xiaobei, after his parents divorced, would hang out at the Internet cafe near the school every week until dark before returning home. In the village, he would not greet fellow villagers when he saw them.

Not to mention that I later went to a provincial capital to start a business, and I didn’t even come back many times.

This time, it was rare for Zou Xiaobei to return home so early. When he saw his neighbors, he took the initiative to call for help, which indeed changed a lot.

Facing this combined family, although I don't feel the love at home, I cherish the lost family ties.

I had dinner with my father at noon, chatted for a while with Zhou Lianfeng who was washing dishes, and then came out of the house to find Lin Chuxue.

"Grandma, is Chuxue at home?" Lin Chuxue's home is in a neighboring village, not too far away. Zou Xiaobei rode a bicycle from home, and after about half an hour, he stopped at Lin Chuxue's home.

In front of the door.

"Who are you?" Lin Chuxue's grandmother was drying beans in her yard and asked when she saw Zou Xiaobei lying outside the yard door looking in.

"I'm Chuxue's classmate, and I'm here to see Chuxue." Zou Xiaobei jumped off his bicycle, parked the car at the entrance of the yard, and locked it.

"Oh." When Lin Chuxue's grandmother heard this, she immediately put down the dustpan in her hand, opened the iron gate of the yard, and said to Zou Xiaobei, "It turns out he is Chuxue's classmate, come in quickly, come in and sit down."

After saying that, he raised his head and shouted in the direction of a window upstairs: "Xiaoxue, your classmate is here to see you, come down quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a noise upstairs.

The window was pushed open from the inside, and a little head poked out, it was Lin Chuxue.

When Lin Chuxue saw that the person standing in the yard was Zou Xiaobei, she was startled and then surprised again. She only heard a burst of rapid footsteps from top to bottom.

"Grandma, let me help you." Zou Xiaobei was standing in the yard, waiting for Lin Chuxue to pack up and go out. Being bored, he started to help Lin Chuxue's old grandmother.

"Hey, kid, no, no, no!" Lin Chuxue's grandmother saw this and immediately pushed her away.

"fine!"

Zou Xiaobei owed Lin Chuxue a lot in his previous life.

Now that I see Lin Chuxue's family, I feel a sense of guilt in my heart.

During her freshman year of high school, Lin Chuxue's parents divorced.

Lin Chuxue moved to her grandmother's house in the countryside with her mother.

Although Lin Chuxue is not as doted on by her parents as before, she is still a treasure in the hands of her grandmother and mother.

At first, Lin Chuxue's mother and grandmother entrusted her to Zou Xiaobei with utmost trust, but how could they have imagined that Zou Xiaobei would actually make Lin Chuxue suffer such great injustice in the end.

Zou Xiaobei picked up the dustpan beside him and quickly sprinkled the beans in the dustpan evenly on the straw mat spread in the yard.

"Good boy, such a good boy!" Lin Chuxue's grandmother looked at Zou Xiaobei's quick movements and nodded with great fondness.

These days, it is rare to see such a filial and sensible child, and it is even more commendable that he is willing to help with farm work.

"Xiaoxue, please be safe on the road and come back early!" Lin Chuxue went downstairs and followed Zou Xiaobei to go out. Grandma stood at the door and warned her.

Ever since Lin Chuxue's parents divorced, the divorce rate was not high at that time. Lin Chuxue's mother and daughter suddenly came back, and the neighbors were pointing fingers. Lin Chuxue rarely wandered around the village.

"Come on, get in the car!" Zou Xiaobei pushed the bicycle and pointed to the back seat of Lin Chuxue.

Lin Chuxue didn't hesitate and jumped on Zou Xiaobei's bicycle.

The air in the countryside is still very good.

Zou Xiaobei rode with Lin Chuxue all the way to a farmland near the village, and then stopped.

After Lin Chuxue got out of the car, she looked Zou Xiaobei up and down, and then asked cautiously: "Are you... injured?"

"No, look at me? Isn't this good? Don't worry." Zou Xiaobei said with relief knowing that Lin Chuxue was worried about what happened between him and Liu Qiang.

Lin Chuxue listened to Zou Xiaobei's instructions and returned home first after school, but she was worried about Zou Xiaobei's condition along the way, fearing that Zou Xiaobei would suffer under Liu Qiang's hands.

After arriving home, Lin Chuxue suddenly remembered that Zou Xiaobei said he would come to find her in the afternoon.

However, Lin Chuxue never told Zou Xiaobei her home address. She was so worried at the time that Lin Chuxue never thought of this at all.

Moreover, Lin Chuxue didn't even know the phone number of Zou Xiaobei's home, so she couldn't call him to ask about the situation.

Just when Lin Chuxue was thinking about it at home, Zou Xiaobei actually appeared.

"Tell me? How did you find my home?" Lin Chuxue looked at Zou Xiaobei with some suspicion.

"Haha..." Zou Xiaobei scratched his head, not expecting Lin Chuxue to suddenly ask this.

Because he has memories of his previous life, Zou Xiaobei certainly knows Lin Chuxue's condition very well.

"Student Handbook, I took you to the dormitory building that day. After seeing it in the freshman contact book, I just remembered it!" Zou Xiaobei still used the excuse he used when he first met Lin Chuxue.

"Really?" Lin Chuxue was still dubious, but seeing Zou Xiaobei's firm eyes, she believed it.

No wonder Zou Xiaobei could recognize him at a glance in school at that time. He probably recognized himself after seeing the photo in the freshman contact book.

It's still a bit hot in September.

Especially the afternoon sun is very scorching.

The two of them wandered around for a while, sweating all over their bodies, and Zou Xiaobei couldn't help but feel a little thirsty.

"Chu Xue, are you thirsty?" Zou Xiaobei pushed the bicycle and glanced at Lin Chuxue who was following him. His face was red and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Yeah!" Lin Chuxue nodded.

But in this place, if you want to drink water for a while, there is no place to buy it.

Unless the two of them ride back to the canteen in the village.

Zou Xiaobei turned his head and looked around.

I saw a dozen greenhouses closely connected not far away.

"Come on, let's go there and have a look!" Zou Xiaobei stepped into the car and greeted Lin Chuxue.

"Brother Xiaobei, why did you bring me here?" Lin Chuxue asked in surprise when she saw Zou Xiaobei parked his bicycle next to the greenhouse garden.

"Shh..." Zou Xiaobei raised his index finger and put it to his lips, making a gesture of silencing, then pulled Lin Chuxue over, crouched, and slowly approached a greenhouse.

"Let me see if there is anything to quench my thirst."

This large greenhouse was probably contracted by a large farm owner.

It should be filled with the latest fruits and vegetables.

Zou Xiaobei wanted to see if there was any sweet watermelon to quench his thirst.

"Brother Xiaobei, are you planning to..." Lin Chuxue immediately understood Zou Xiaobei's intention, became nervous immediately, and lowered her voice.

"It's okay. You stand here and help me keep an eye on the bike. I'll go over and take a look. If someone comes, you run away first!" Zou Xiaobei placed Lin Chuxue in a shady place and told Lin Chuxue that he would do it himself.
