Nan Xiaonan didn't have much time to stay in the countryside, but Nan's brother enjoyed the care of Nan Xiaonan in the countryside.
It must be said that Nan Xiaonan’s skills in taking care of others are at the full level. Nan Heming also understood Nan Heming’s fear of dry toilets, so the next morning he went to the small independent dry toilet that used to be around the house.
It was a place used before there were no toilets in the village. It had been abandoned because it had not been used for a long time. Nan Xiaonan cleaned the inside, spread plastic bags with snacks on the ground, and reluctantly arranged a clean toilet for Nan Heming.
use.
Not everyone can adapt to the taste of wild vegetables, but Nan Xiaonan noticed that everyone and even the butler had different preferences for the dishes.
I went back to the river very early the next morning, filled the mineral water bottle with stream water and some sand and water plants, put the small fish in and brought it back to the house.
In the morning, I made pancakes with my grandma, and then fried dried fish. I processed the uneaten wild vegetables with my grandma and wrapped them for the housekeeper.
Nan Heming sat on a small chair in the courtyard, looking at the chickens and ducks running in front of the door, and raised his head: "Brother, am I a waste?"
"It's just that I'm not good at life here." Nan Qinse, who was also taken care of in every possible way, said in a deceptive tone.
Nan Xiaonan seemed to have unlimited energy when she returned to the countryside, and it really made Nan's brother see what it means to be a naughty kid.
"No wonder I get up so early. It turns out that I have so much energy and nowhere to vent it." Nan Heming frowned, "Why don't we create some entertainment venues at home?"
"The current house is not big, so it is not suitable for this. Besides, the kindergarten is enough for him to vent his energy."
The only problem is that Nan Xiaonan has been suppressing his true nature, and it is unconscious. This situation makes it almost impossible for them to do anything, because even if they ask directly, Nan Xiaonan does not have this understanding.
He doesn't trust them. Although he likes them, he doesn't trust them.
This is simply tricky.
When bidding farewell to her grandma's house, Nan Xiaonan sat in the car, put away her active clothes, and put on clean clothes. The cute and well-dressed child looked up at the old man eagerly, without saying goodbye coquettishly or saying anything.
He said he wanted to stay, but he just watched calmly, holding the hard-boiled egg that his grandma put in his hand.
"Then I'm leaving?" Nan Xiaonan raised her head and looked at the old man.
"Let's go." After grandma finished speaking, she turned around and left tremblingly, without even saying goodbye.
Nan Heming hugged Nan Xiaonan, while Nan Qinse stood in the distance and looked down at the short Fan Yiheng.
"Do you like Xiaonan?"
Fan Yiheng didn’t say anything.
"Now Xiaonan is leaving with us, do you want to follow Xiaonan?"
Fan Yiheng still didn't speak. The child had been following Nan Xiaonan silently. If he hadn't heard the child speak, he would have thought he was mute.
Hearing that Nan Xiaonan was about to leave, Fan Yiheng's expression finally changed. Under Nan Qinse's gaze, the child's face gradually became ferocious and distorted, as if it was about to settle on a sad face, but the child seemed not to know how.
Like the sadness that comes naturally, it is twisted and ugly, with snot flowing out of my nose, but no tears.
Nan Qinse frowned. In her impression, Fan Yiheng was at least clean. When he was a child... he was really a slug.
"Are you willing to abandon your father and follow us?" Nan Qinse lowered his head, and a white paper appeared in his hand. The paper was folded into a square, and inside was Nan Heming's mobile phone number. "If you are willing, just call this.
At that time, I will give you a new identity. You can go to school, have enough food, wear nice clothes, and play with Xiaonan. Once you decide, tell me about this matter before you decide.
Can't tell anyone."
There is basically no suspense about how a child will choose. All Nan Qinse wants is a reason for 'his own choice'.
Fan Yiheng stretched out his black claws that were as thin as bones. Nan Qinse tried to put the paper into Fan Yiheng's hand, but unexpectedly, the child grabbed Nan Qinse's sleeve without thinking. His eyes widened.
Looking straight at Nan Qinse: "I want to be with the boss."
Nan Qinse's eyes finally showed interest: "You can think about it more, there is still enough time. If you accept it, then you will not have a father in the future."
"I don't want a father." Fan Yiheng's voice was hoarse, probably the sequelae of not speaking for many years, "I want the boss."
This is really...
Nan Qinse raised the corner of her mouth and put away the note: "I understand, you wait for me here, I will come to pick you up."
Because Nan Xiaonan only had two days in the countryside, he knew that it would be a long time before he could come back next time. They took a long car ride to reach grandma's house. He couldn't walk to grandma's house with these legs.
Before leaving, Nan Xiaonan did a lot of things he would do at grandma's house, and even fed the ugly guard dog until it had a round belly.
"Xiaonan, we're going home." Nan Heming said.
"Um."
Nan Xiaonan was very tired and fell asleep in the car. Nan Heming picked Nan Xiaonan up and returned to the room.
Taking off the child's shoes and socks, Nan Heming hugged Nan Xiaonan and gently smelled the fragrance of milk on Nan Xiaonan's body. Probably because he had been running and jumping in the woods all morning, he could smell the faint fragrance of green grass.
"How do you plan to adopt Fan Yiheng?" Nan Heming asked.
"It's not adopted by the Nan family." Nan Qinse casually pulled out a foreign book from the bookshelf that no one would notice, opened it, and found a lot of marks written densely in French, with the translated meaning and the book
There is absolutely no consistency in the stories in the book. These are the memories of the future that Brother Nan compiled after his rebirth, and they were all recorded just in case.
Nan Qinse sketched out a few words from French. Nan Heming lowered his eyes and saw it, raising his eyebrows in surprise: "Which one of them do you want to adopt Fan Yiheng?"
"Um."
These are all future business giants who have yet to make a fortune, and many of them are founders of technologies that can change the world. All of these people are the targets they have sorted out to focus on cultivating.
"Although Fan Yiheng is dull, he has good learning ability. Send him to be adopted by them, and provide him with enough financial assistance. This not only gives him a sufficient identity, but also allows him to invest in advance. It can also be regarded as placing one of his own." Nan Qinse said with a smile.
, "He has been with Xiaonan for many years, and it is considered a favor no matter what. With this level of status, he can also do things that he did not dare to do before."
Nan Heming narrowed his eyes and said, "When people gain confidence, they become bolder. What if he really becomes the rich second generation and has the courage to confess to Xiao Nan?"
"He Ming, although it's still early to ask, I still want to find out." Nan Qinse's eyes were on her second brother. Nan Heming, who probably didn't care about lovers, instinctively looked down upon her, "You are
What do you think about Xiaonan’s future search for a lover?”
"If he likes it, give it to him."
"Then why can't Fan Yiheng do it?"
"He doesn't deserve it!"
Nan Qinse frowned. Nan Heming's relationship has never been smooth. Jiangshan's nature is easy to change and hard to change. Even rebirth cannot make them abandon the bad roots in their character overnight. Nan Heming has too much control over Nan Xiaonan.
Strong, if there is resistance, bad results may occur.
Even so, Nan Qinse can't guarantee that he doesn't have any problems. Fortunately, a good mood for this child can change their extreme personality.
"Forget it." It's too early to make any conclusions now, Xiaonan is still too young.
"Then how do you get in touch?" Nan Heming tapped the name, "Who specifically do you want to give it to?"
"I have their current basic information and location. Now is probably the time when they are suffering from lack of money. Next is what you are best at, my second brother."
"Using the tool man on a daily basis?" Nan Heming raised his eyebrows. His eldest brother was really good at calling people as always.
"please."
"How should we discuss this with Fan Yiheng's father?"
"Give me some money."
"That kind of man is the type to pester you endlessly."
"Then let him not have the courage to pester you."
Nan Xiaonan sneaked under the quilt and opened her eyes. When she woke up in the middle of her sleep, she heard her eldest brother and her second brother chatting. Although she couldn't quite understand what the brothers were talking about, they seemed to be planning something terrible.
Just like those villains on TV who secretly discuss things in the dark, Nan Xiaonan swallowed.
——
My father and mother seem to be very happy recently.
Nan Xiaonan also gradually understood He Xuanwan's character. Generally speaking, she didn't have to worry too much when she was in a good mood. She even brought Nan Xiaonan cakes that were hard to buy when she was in a good mood. His mother is beautiful.
He's gentle, but has a bad temper, and then... he doesn't seem to like his brothers very much.
"What are you doing standing there?" He Xuanwan looked in the rearview mirror and saw Nan Xiaonan walking quietly at the door. She turned around and said, "Come in."
"Mom." Nan Xiaonan stood in front of He Xuanwan, "Mom is very beautiful today."
"Um?"
"Every time mom smiles, she looks particularly beautiful."
"Wouldn't it look good if you don't smile?"
"If I don't smile, I'll look good, but I don't dare to talk to my mother." Nan Xiaonan's eyes flashed with anticipation, "Every time my mother smiles, it's like the sun has come out."
He Xuanwan looked down at the child. Even Nan Yun had never praised her for her beautiful smile. For some reason, He Xuanwan asked, "Can mom put on that outfit for you to see?"
"OK."
Nan Xiaonan sat obediently on a chair on the side. He Xuanwan changed into a long skirt in the dressing room and fiddled with her fingers in boredom until He Xuanwan called his name.
Nan Xiaonan turned around. The white slim-fitting long skirt highlighted He Xuanwan's well-maintained figure. The graceful arcs ran from top to bottom. She had a very good temperament and her whole person looked exceptionally bright. She put on the white dress
She was wearing high heels. She was not tall, but her calves were straight and white, and she looked extremely graceful.
"Does it look good?" He Xuanwan asked.
"It's very beautiful, like a big goose."
"Goose?" He Xuanwan was stunned.
"The goose is very beautiful. When its white wings are spread out, it is prettier than any other bird. The goose's neck, like its mother's body, is very beautifully curved." Nan Xiaonan said sincerely.
"Really?" He Xuanwan knew the image in Nan Xiaonan's mind. Although this metaphor did not make her happy, she raised her hands and tied her long hair behind her head, and said to the child, "Mom will attend the day after tomorrow.
It’s a very, very important banquet, and I will tie up my hair at that time. I will definitely need a particularly beautiful necklace, but my mother doesn’t know what kind of necklace I should choose.”
"necklace?"
Only then did Nan Xiaonan notice the different necklaces placed on He Xuanwan's dressing table, with different styles and shapes. Looking back and seeing her mother's fair neck, Nan Xiaonan lay on the dressing table and fell into deep thought.
Noticing that Nan Xiaonan was serious about choosing a necklace she liked, He Xuanwan sat aside and chose beautiful decorations with her children? He Xuanwan had never thought about it before, but unexpectedly, it felt good.
She had been very afraid of this child.
She was beautiful, but as her belly got bigger and bigger during her ten-month pregnancy, she began to gain weight. Her beautiful face no longer existed. She couldn't put on makeup and her body reactions became more and more severe. She suffered from pain, weight gain, and illnesses. Until one day, she finally saw
She collapsed the moment she saw herself looking haggard and ugly in the mirror.
She has always been beautiful, and her beauty is accompanied by her better life trajectory than ordinary people. Once she loses her beauty, she seems to have lost her direction. These are all symptoms brought to her by the birth of this child.
After giving birth to the child, she clearly left behind the lump of flesh that made her look even more ugly, but she couldn't return to her former appearance. If she had this child, would she no longer be as glamorous as she had always been afraid of?
What does she look like as a housewife? Will she get older and older? Will she lose all her energy and energy because of this child?
At first, she tried to be a good mother, but Nan Yun was away from home for a long time, and she couldn't sleep alone every night. The child was always eating. Late one night, when she unconsciously exposed her chest to feed the child, she suddenly...
Strands of messy hair fell in front of her eyes, and her hair was withered and yellow. She didn't even dare to get up and look at herself in the mirror. How scary and embarrassed she looked at that time?
Is Nan Yun refusing to go home just because she dislikes her current appearance?
At that time, all rationality disappeared in an instant, leaving only endless pain and hesitation.
The symptoms of depression were out of control, and she even wanted to personally end this lump of flesh that had taken away her glorious life. Loneliness and helplessness instantly invaded all her nerves.
"Mom has many necklaces. Are these all given to mom by dad?" Suddenly Nan Xiaonan's voice broke her fugue.
"No." He Xuanwan took out a few necklaces from it, "These were given to me by Brother Yun."
Nan Xiaonan raised her head and looked at the necklaces.
"Brother Yun is not the kind of careful man. He is not very good at giving away things, and he is not very good at choosing things. Just like this one, it is very rustic. He bought it when I agreed to get engaged to him. It is too ugly to bring with me.
, but the price is very expensive, so I almost forgot about it when I kept it."
The necklace in He Xuanwan's hand was decorated with three plum blossoms relying on each other. Nan Xiaonan vaguely felt as if she had seen a similar pattern on her grandma's pillow towel, with bright red gems resting on it. Nan Xiaonan couldn't tell what was rustic, but this
The necklace is very beautiful.
"Then mom will just bring one, right?"
"Why?"
"No matter which necklace mom wears, it looks very beautiful. I can't choose. But mom said that she is going to attend a very, very important banquet. Since it is a very, very important banquet, it is a gift from dad to mom. Dad loves mom.
, will you give this necklace to your mother? It will bring more happiness to your mother!"
"Who told you that it would bring happiness?" He Xuanwan laughed. If it weren't for Nan Xiaonan being too young, she would have thought that the child was flattering her.
"Don't my parents often give me snacks? At that time, as long as I had snacks, I would be very happy. I would share them with my friends, who would also be very happy. The snacks were gifts from my parents, so I was very happy.
If you are happy, then if your father gives your mother such a gift, your mother will also be very happy."
He Xuanwan was stunned for a moment and looked down at the plum blossom necklace in her hand.
happy?
How did she feel when she received this necklace? She couldn't remember. She just didn't wear it because she thought it was too ugly, but she kept it. As long as she took it out, she would remember that it was an engagement gift.
What it contains is the memory of her love with Nan Yun. He Xuanwan curled her lips unconsciously: "Maybe, I haven't brought it with me anyway. Maybe... there can be unexpected contrasts?"
He Xuanwan carefully put back all the other necklaces and put the necklace on the surface. Nan Xiaonan lay on the dressing table: "Did I help mom?"
"Yes." Before He Xuanwan could react, her hand had already touched the top of Nan Xiaonan's head. The soft hair under her hand was strange and gentle.
He Xuanwan looked at Nan Xiaonan lying in a small ball on the dressing table, and suddenly realized that she had always been aware of it.
This child is innocent.
It was their decision to conceive him, and it was their decision to give birth to him. From the beginning, the child had no choice. In the final analysis, it was just that when she was weak and vulnerable, she deceived herself and blamed others more than her.
Weak children are just here to deceive the inner balance.
Nan Xiaonan sensitively noticed the emotional changes of Nan Yun and his wife. Not only her mother, but her father also looked very happy.
Banquets are a very happy thing, Nan Xiaonan thought.
I secretly popped my head out to take a look while the housekeeper was bringing coffee to Nan Yun, and sure enough I saw Nan Yun, smiling and in a good mood.
"Xiaonan, come here."
Hearing Nan Yun's call, Nan Xiaonan quickly came to Nan Yun's side. Nan Yun picked Nan Xiaonan up and put her on her lap, and opened the photo on the computer: "Which one of these sets of clothes looks better?
"
Do the clothes look good? Nan Xiaonan opened her eyes hard and looked at them. There were several suits on the computer. Nan Xiaonan, who still didn't know how to distinguish the suits, pulled at the table and felt dizzy.
"I don't know." In the end, Nan Xiaonan, who was extremely confused, could only give this answer.
"Hahahaha, you are still young, of course you can't understand." But Nan Yun touched her chin with interest, seeming very happy.
Not understanding what happened at all, Nan Xiaonan could only raise her head and ask: "Is dad happy because he can buy new clothes?"
"Of course not." Nan Yun laughed dumbly. Is buying clothes the only thing that makes children happy?
Nan Xiaonan sat on Nan Yun's lap: "Mom bought a super nice skirt."
"Well, she has always had good taste, so don't worry."
"When I go to the banquet, my mother will bring a necklace that my father gave to my mother." Nan Xiaonan thought for a moment, "It's in the shape of a small red flower. There are three of them. My mother said she would bring it because it was a gift from her father."
Nan Yun frowned and thought, has he ever given such a necklace?
"Mom will be very beautiful that day. If dad can praise mom's necklace again, mom will be very happy." Nan Xiaonan seemed to have thought of that scene and smiled happily, "The way mom and dad looked like giving gifts back then,
I also want to see."
"You weren't there yet!" Nan Yun hit Nan Xiaonan on the head.
Nan Yun noticed that since Nan Xiaonan came back from her grandma's house, her attitude towards him had become much more unrestrained. Apparently, the child began to explore after testing his bottom line. She had never experienced such obvious flattery from a child. Nan Yun
There was no stopping it either.
Nan Xiaonan returned to the room happily, quietly opened the door and peeked to see if her two brothers were doing their homework well.
"What's wrong?" Nan Heming stopped writing when he saw Nan Xiaonan, "Why are you smiling?"
"Mom and dad said they were going to attend a very important banquet." Nan Xiaonan was carried on Nan Heming's lap and held the table. "They are very happy."
"Ah, that's it." Nan Heming seemed to have thought of it, "It is indeed something that should be happy."
Such a banquet was originally inaccessible to the Nan family based on their capital, but due to the sudden rise of the party during this period and the guidance of the Huang family, Nan Yun had already received the invitation letter, which was obviously a confirmation of the Nan family's performance.
"I will go that day too." Nan Qinse raised her head and said, "Father has already told me that you can take Xiaonan alone that day."
"Huh?" Nan Heming was stunned, "You want to go too? But I want to go too? I have promised Huang Hai a long time ago. When the time comes, I will go to Huang's house first and go with Huang Hai."
This time it was a banquet hosted by the Feng family. He had promised Huang Hai a long time ago, and he also planned to meet Feng Yi.
"Um?"
Then who will take care of Xiao Nan?
Nan Xiaonan dragged her head with her hands: "Can I stay at home with my uncle?"
"...No!" Nan Heming hugged Nan Xiaonan, "It's a holiday that day, how can we let Xiaonan be alone."
"Can I be alone?" Nan Xiaonan said matter-of-factly. He was also at home with his uncle when his brothers were in class.
