Nan Xiaonan still hasn't gotten over the flashing memory fragments. He has been following his grandma and refused to leave. If it weren't for the disgust on her face, he would have hugged her arm and not let go anywhere. Brother Nan's brother saw this
It was a strange and complicated scene. Back then, they didn't give the child enough comfort, but now they can't guarantee that they can give him enough security. They are already used to having everything under control, but they still can't do anything about this child.
Relax.
Xu Chengze seems to have a really good relationship with his grandma. It can be said that her grandma likes him very much and her attitude is very gentle.
"Xiao Xu has known how to earn money by working outside at such a young age, and Xiao Nan is still asking for money from home." Grandma looked at Xu Chengze with a smile, seeming to be more satisfied with such a hardworking and hard-working grandson than with this delicate and embarrassing grandson next to her.
.
"I can also work and make money!" Nan Xiaonan refused to be outdone. How could grandma think that others are better than him!
"Stop making trouble!" Nan Qinse gently hit Nan Xiaonan's head with a knife, "Xu Chengze's working outside at this age fully demonstrates his parents' powerlessness. This is determined by real life, not him.
initiative."
Xu Chengze became the center of the topic, but found that he couldn't get in the middle of the conversation anyway. He was in a complicated mood. He sat in the front seat of the car, looking out the window, not knowing whether he should reply.
When Nan Heming was driving back, he would occasionally look at Xu Chengze through the rearview mirror, and raised the corners of his lips when he heard the words behind him: "Aren't we working so hard just so that Xiaonan can have a comfortable future? Now Xiaonan is instead
Going out to work is not putting the cart before the horse? But if Xiaonan wants to go out and experience life, I support it. After all, the more people you meet, the more interesting life will be."
"Grandma!" Nan Xiaonan rubbed the old man's shoulder.
"Go away, don't lean on me. You're so injured and you're crying like that in front of the doctor. If you're not embarrassed, I'm still embarrassed. Look at Xiao Xu. He was so seriously injured and didn't say a word while he was applying medicine.
When I was young, doctors said that Xiao Xu was strong."
Nan Xiaonan felt wronged again: "I'm not crying because of the pain."
"Grandma, Xiaonan was very worried when he heard that you were injured in the hospital, so he slipped and fell at the door when he went out. He didn't cry at all at that time." Nan Qinse explained to Nan Xiaonan, and Nan Xiaonan immediately looked '
It's that 'yes' expression.
"You're such an adult, can you fall down even when you walk? Are you getting older as you live?" Grandma snorted coldly, but her voice was obviously not as confident as before. She glanced at Nan Xiaonan, who was miserable because of her knees.
The wound was stuck to the fabric of Nan Xiaonan's pajamas. When the doctor cut the fabric of Nan Xiaonan's knee, there were obvious scratches on it. The child did not say a word, but he still buried his head in Nan Qinse's arms and was very delicate.
, thinking of this, he started to get angry again, "Look at Xiao Xu, if he was as rough as you, how could he do his work so cleanly and neatly?!"
Nan Xiaonan's whole body felt bad.
Nan Heming couldn't help but laugh when he saw Nan Xiaonan's expression in the rearview mirror. Why could his Xiaonan be so cute?
"Everyone is different. Nan Xiaonan must have different behaviors because of different family environments. Just like the elder brother next to me said, it's because my parents failed to invest and were in debt a few years ago. We are living in a tight situation now.
Damn it, I actually hope I can just go to school without having to think about so many things." Xu Chengze turned back to the old man and said, "Grandma, people shouldn't be compared like this. Nan Xiaonan will definitely be unhappy if you say that.
"
"Look, when it comes to being considerate, Xiao Xu is better." Grandma stabbed the knife in again. Nan Xiaonan shrank to Nan Qinse in aggrieved manner. Grandma didn't like him anymore. The old man glanced at the aggrieved Nan.
Xiaonan moved her mouth, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes showed a little tiredness, "This child has been spoiled by you two as brothers all day long. He is so old that he doesn't even have the ability to bear it. I haven't hurt anything yet. If
One day I will be gone..."
Nan Xiaonan suddenly grabbed her grandma's hand: "Don't say it."
The old man's wrinkled cheeks already showed obvious age. Even under the careful care of the Nan family, aging is still unavoidable. She has already stepped into the coffin with one foot. She doesn't want to die before she dies.
She also couldn’t see that her little grandson, whom she cared about the most, had never been able to be independent.
"Xiaonan, there is no one in this world that you can always rely on. You have to mature quickly."
"Grandma, you can't say that." Nan Heming said in a drawl while driving, with a bit of ridicule, "Xiaonan is sixteen years old, my eldest brother is twenty-six, and I am only twenty-two this year. I am only older.
Xiao Nan is six years old, and Xiao Nan is seventy. My eldest brother may be gone, but I may not be dead. We are already seventy years old. What is the age gap? Of course we have the ability to take care of Xiao Nan for a lifetime. This is what you are worried about.
It’s too much.”
"It's the messy thoughts you have instilled in Xiaonan all day long that have kept Xiaonan from growing up!" The old man became very angry when he heard Nan Heming speak like this.
"What I'm even more curious about is why you always ask Xiaonan to be independent. We are a family. Isn't it good for a family to rely on each other?"
The old man was silent for a moment and looked out the window. From the car window at night, the deep worry in the old man's eyes could be revealed, but she could not express it directly.
Nan Qinse knew what the old man was thinking, or even he thought that the relationship between them and Xiao Nan was slightly abnormal compared to ordinary brotherhood, but so what? They are a family, and isn't the purpose of a family?
Should we protect each other? The old man lost his husband very early and raised Nan Yun by himself. The thoughts of independent and self-reliant women in that era must be different from theirs.
"It's great." Suddenly, Xu Chengze entered among them with an envious voice, "I really envy this kind of family with brothers and sisters, who can help each other when needed. I am an only child.
The pressure of raising a proud family will definitely be very high. If you have brothers and sisters, maybe you can share the pressure a little bit."
"Xiao Xu understands the truth. Brothers can help each other, but they are not as clingy as you all!"
When Nan Xiaonan was still about to say something, Nan Yun called the old man. It was obvious that something happened on the phone. Only now did she see the news, so she called the old man anxiously. Nan Yun had become close to the old man because of these years.
Young Master, they are originally mother and son. Even if there is a gap between them, the dependence and nature of childhood will not be eradicated. Nan Xiaonan found that when grandma and dad talked, she also had a tone that made people want to choke to death. She secretly thought about it.
Is it because grandma doesn’t like to praise people in her family?
"Is this...is this your home?" Xu Chengze's eyes widened when he arrived at the large flat-floor villa. He originally just thought that the old man might have an extra room, but he didn't expect that the entire floor was the Nan family's house.
He stood at the door for a long time, not knowing how to react. He had always heard them talk about a housekeeper before. He thought it was a nanny hired by the family, but he never expected that he was actually a real housekeeper.
"Master Xu, these are your slippers." The brand new slippers are clean. Because it is winter, the slippers are plush. The big pink slippers look a bit like the type that girls like.
"These are the same type of slippers I have." Nan Xiaonan wears rabbit fur slippers, which are white and specially made to look like small animals. "Second brother just likes to buy these flashy things."
"What's so flashy?" Nan Heming looked down at the two little rabbits, "Aren't they cute?"
"I'm a boy."
"Can't boys be cute?" Nan Heming looked at Xu Chengze and suddenly smiled at him. Xu Chengze was stunned by his stunning face that could not tell the difference between male and female, "Do you think Xiaonan is cute?"
"Ah?" Xu Chengze looked strange, and finally nodded under Nan Heming's strange smile, "Cute."
"..." I don't want to pay attention to him.
Xu Chengze put on his slippers. These slippers were very warm. I wonder if it was because of the floor heating. The inside of the slippers did not feel cold at all. Moreover, the texture of the slippers was soft, which gave him a very different feeling of comfort when he looked up and saw Nan Qinsewan.
He picked up Nan Xiaonan by his waist. The boy who was about the same age as him was shouting and pulling Nan Qinse's clothes. His face was full of arrogance. Looking at the endless home in sight, Xu Chengze stood at the door and quietly moved his fingers.
He grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"You and the housekeeper go and choose a room you like." The old man and the young housekeeper beside him ordered, "Find him a room with a bathroom. Don't let him live in Nan Heming's room. Nan Heming spends all day long.
I just want to crawl into Nan Xiaonan’s bed.”
"Okay, old lady, I'll go get ready now. Master Xu can wait on the sofa here for a while. What kind of coffee, milk, tea or juice do you want?"
"Just give me boiled water." Xu Chengze was at a loss and felt uncomfortable all over.
Xu Chengze was sitting alone on the sofa and couldn't help but look around. The whole house was very big. If you lived in a place like this and didn't want to meet, you probably wouldn't be able to. The whole space was not separated by walls.
, it should be that the designer carefully designed the entire living room and divided it with different decorations. Different spaces have different tastes. Just looking at it is more than just a waste of money.
Although he knew that there were many grandmas with wealthy families in the senior citizens' club, he never expected that they would be so wealthy. When he stood up, he could still see the vast balcony outside. The balcony was very clean, even in snowy weather.
It was always cleaned, which was not a luxury he could have imagined.
Although the entire hall looked deserted, Nan Xiaonan's voice could be heard.
"I don't want it, you go away, I want to take a shower by myself, go away! I only hurt my leg, my arm is fine! My hand is just scratched and bruised, do you understand?!"
The boy's voice was crisp and clear, and he could hear it clearly. He could also hear the boy's two brothers coaxing the boy softly. He couldn't hear clearly, but he could clearly feel the full emotion coming from the voice.
The gentleness made the originally spacious and cold hall seem warmer because of the young man.
Is it such a happy thing to have brothers and sisters at home? Xu Chengze lowered his head, feeling envious in his heart. The more envious he was, the more lonely he became.
"Master Xu, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" The young butler stood in front of him.
"fine."
"Please come with me."
Xu Chengze followed the housekeeper to his room. The other party said good night and left. He looked around the room where he was about to sleep. There was a faint fragrance in the air. The sheets and bedding must have been changed. They were nearby.
There was also a new set of pajamas. Xu Chengze touched them with his hands. The material of the pajamas was very good and very comfortable. The whole space was as gorgeous as a hotel. The bathroom was already equipped with daily necessities that were not disposable, and even washing machines.
Personal care supplies were all available, and Xu Chengze sat on the soft bed. In such a space, even if the door was closed, he was still careful not to make any sound.
This is the home of a rich person. Although Xu Chengze was injured, it was not serious. He just needed a period of hot compress. When he turned on the faucet, as expected, all the water came out was hot water. There was also boiled water at the right temperature beside the bed.
There was even a ring button on the bedside. Although he didn't know what he was doing at this specific time, his reason told him not to touch it too much.
After taking a hard shower, Xu Chengze felt that the pores all over his body were open. It felt like all the expensive things were used here. Even the shower gel had a unique fragrance. Because of the inconvenience of his hands, he couldn't blow dry his hair.
, simply went directly to the bed, lying on the soft quilt, Xu Chengze looked at the gorgeous chandelier, this home was full of gorgeous looks that he had never been exposed to before, the life of the rich was really great.
"You have a fever, do you really don't want to be sent to the hospital?"
The familiar voice of a young man sounded in his ears. Xu Chengze frowned, feeling very uncomfortable. His head was swelling and painful, and the place where it came into contact with the soft pillow was even more uncomfortable. He wanted to turn sideways, but he had no strength, so he reluctantly opened his eyes.
His eyes hurt and stung, everything in front of him was blurry, and he couldn't react for a while.
"Don't worry, young master. We have already called a private doctor and he will be there soon."
Xu Chengze raised his eyes and looked to the side and saw the young man sitting at the head of the bed.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" After noticing that he was awake, Nan Xiaonan immediately pounced on him.
"Yeah." I felt very uncomfortable. It was difficult to make even a single sound, and my throat was very sore and dry.
Nan Xiaonan heard Xu Chengze's hoarse voice and looked up at the housekeeper: "Give him some water."
"Okay, young master, let me do it."
Xu Chengze was lifted up. His head was dizzy. He closed his eyes and tried to calm down for a while. Then the warm boiled water flowed down his throat and into his abdomen little by little. The very comfortable temperature made his stomach feel comfortable after not having dinner yesterday.
Much more comfortable.
"He is hungry. Is the chef making porridge?" Nan Xiaonan asked.
"Already ordered."
"Just wait a little longer. You can eat in a while."
It took a while for Xu Chengze's confused mind to realize what had happened. He had a fever. He actually had a fever at someone else's house.
"Young Master, please take the medicine to prevent colds." The housekeeper could not drive away Nan Xiaonan who was standing next to Xu Chengze. He could only think of ways to prevent Nan Xiaonan from catching the cold as much as possible. Once the young master got sick, the whole family would be affected.
Everyone in the family will have a hard time.
"Um."
Xu Chengze watched Nan Xiaonan take the medicine. Although he had a headache, he still felt a strong sense of loss. Only he knew that when he was still suffering from a fever, none of his relatives were around, but the person next to him was obviously healthy but still
There are always people around who care about her. This is probably the difference between people. Grandma is right. Children like Nan Xiaonan never grow up because of the environment. He is really envious of whether he can grow up like this.
Big character.
Xu Chengze's mind was in chaos. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he couldn't help but feel sad. He felt dizzy and sore and weak. He was also injured, making him extremely fragile.
"...He cried." Nan Xiaonan saw Xu Chengze's tears, "He felt very sad."
"This is what happens when you are sick, young master."
Nan Xiaonan looked at Xu Chengze and suddenly said: "We didn't take good care of him. He started to have a fever after sleeping well all night yesterday. It must be our problem."
"It was my negligence." The butler apologized seriously.
The chef brought the freshly cooked white rice porridge, which was delicious. Although he had no appetite, he was hungry after all. Xu Chengze was lifted up by the butler. Although he was weak, he still had the strength to eat. He originally thought that he would taste everything when he had a fever.
It doesn’t come out, but the flavor of the white rice porridge is unexpectedly rich. I don’t know what kind of seasonings are put in it. It is not greasy at all. On the contrary, it has a very refreshing and refreshing feeling. After a bowl of porridge, I seem to have strength in my body. Personally
The doctor also arrived and said that he had a fever today because he caught a cold at night after being frightened yesterday. He just needed to take antipyretics, keep warm and rest well.
Xu Chengze looked at the personal doctor. This family not only has a housekeeper, but also a chef and a personal doctor. It's really nice.
I'm really envious.
"Are you sleepy?" Nan Xiaonan asked.
Xu Chengze shook his head. He didn't want to close his eyes. Once he closed his eyes, the feeling of dizziness would be magnified and very uncomfortable.
"Then let me talk to you?"
"Okay." Xu Chengze agreed.
"Do you want your family to tell you that you live here?"
Xu Chengze answered slowly every time: "It's okay."
"Does your family not care about you?"
"Um."
"But if you get sick, you really want your family to take care of you, right?" Nan Xiaonan remembers that every time he catches a cold and gets sick, he sticks to his eldest brother and his second brother every day. At this time, the eldest and second brother will definitely have someone to accompany him all day long, and then he will
The cold was passed on to the eldest brother and the second brother, and he continued to take care of the sick brother in turn.
"They're very busy."
"I will care about you even if I am busy, right?" Nan Xiaonan sat beside the bed.
Xu Chengze didn't speak this time and lay quietly on the bed. Nan Xiaonan vaguely realized that he might have asked the wrong question.
"You can live in my house with peace of mind. I'll ask the housekeeper to help you move out of the school house, but I can only take care of you for one winter vacation." Nan Xiaonan was very gentle to this young man who wanted to save his grandma. As long as he treated him
Anyone with good relatives is a good person.
"It's too much trouble."
"It's nothing. It's just a meal for more than one person. I have plenty of food at home. My eldest brother and my second brother both said that the holidays are for fun. I even tore up my homework. It's too tiring for you to work during the holidays.
Well, this is still the Chinese New Year, shouldn’t we be reunited during the Chinese New Year?”
"Your eldest brother and second brother are so kind to you."
"Of course the eldest and second brothers are good to me. Not only the eldest and second brothers, but also my parents, the housekeeper, the uncle, the cook, the chef, and the servants are all very good to me."
"I envy you." Xu Chengze's eyes were sour. The more Nan Xiaonan proudly talked about how great his home was, the more serious his inner inferiority complex became. After all, he was not the proud man of heaven, and he would never be the same as the people around him.
Can't compare.
"I also feel that I have a family that can be envied." Nan Xiaonan is not ignorant of blessings, or he knows that he is happy enough. When he wakes up at night, he sees someone who sneaked into his bed without knowing when.
The second brother will think that it is really great that his eldest brother and second brother like him.
"It would be great if I had a family like this."
"You can have it." Nan Xiaonan said, "Although you don't have brothers and sisters, you do have parents. In fact, my parents were not very good to me at the beginning, but they only became better after these years. If my father
It’s even easier when mothers already love each other deeply.”
Nan Yun and He Xuanwan respect each other more than they love each other. Although Nan Xiaonan does not intend to operate, their relationship has been maintained well because someone is willing to tell each other the truth.
With.
Nan Xiaonan actually secretly thought that this should be her own credit, and it was also because her parents had a good relationship.
"It's impossible for me to be like you. You are born different from me." Xu Chengze turned his head and looked at the boy who was even better-looking than him. "There are things in this world that you can't get no matter how hard you try."
Nan Xiaonan thought for a while and finally nodded: "Yeah, I also feel that it's like I study very hard, but I always can't get good grades."
Xu Chengze chuckled: "You have such a family and a worry-free life, so you don't need to care about your grades, right?"
Nan Xiaonan was stunned: "Whether my grades are good or not is not important, but whether I am stupid or not is very important. I can't always rely on my brother for help. I also have to be able to earn something myself."
"Yourself?" Xu Chengze didn't know what kind of malice was spreading in his heart, and he didn't know why he felt resentful. "Have you ever made a penny of money with your own abilities?
