Ou Xiuhua felt that the world suddenly seemed a little unreal.
The son who originally thought he was living alone and struggling, turned out to be rich in millions.
I originally thought that my son might have bitter feelings towards me, but he took him home calmly.
The thick stack of bills in front of me, including the tax payment certificate...
Based on Ou Xiuhua's background as a professional accountant, once she looked at the past, she felt that it was not fake.
What's more, even if an eighteen-year-old high school student fakes it to deceive his parents, how can he do it so discreetly and in such a professional way?
No matter it's five million, or this bankbook with 867,000 in it.
For Ou Xiuhua, these figures are already huge figures that she has never been able to touch in her life.
The amount of public funds she embezzled before she was imprisoned was far from such a huge figure!
The first thought... I was actually slightly scared!
Having had two failed marriages and one experience of being imprisoned, Ou Xiuhua clearly understands a truth: In this world, money is an extremely terrifying devil that can change human nature!
Subconsciously looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar son, Ou Xiuhua felt vaguely in her heart that in that memory, the face of the little boy pulling at the corner of her clothes and following her pitifully seemed to be gradually blurred.
The young man in front of him still had the same facial features, but his eyes, expression, and temperament all carried an indescribable sense of strangeness.
·
...Actually, Chen Nuo is also awkward.
The middle-aged woman in front of him was the mother of the original owner, but to Chen Yanluo, she was a complete stranger. He had never called her "Mom" and had never lived with her for a day.
After pondering for a while, Chen Nuo said slowly: "Let's live here from now on."
"...Is it really okay?" Ou Xiuhua moved her lips and whispered: "Don't you hate me?"
"..." Chen Nuo thought for a while. If this issue was brought up, it would probably go on forever, so he said softly: "Zi Zi also needs a mother."
This reason is undoubtedly the most valuable.
Ou Xiuhua stopped talking.
"The family's money is all here, eight hundred and sixty-seven thousand, and I will leave it to you for safekeeping." Chen Nuo's words made Ou Xiuhua unable to help but stand up.
"Don't worry yet." Chen Nuo smiled and said slowly: "I usually have to go to school, and in my spare time, I have to take care of the business I partner with, so I really don't have much energy to take care of things at home.
Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, food, clothing, housing and transportation, as well as taking care of little leaves, there are a lot of things, you will do it from now on.
This passbook is considered family money, well... I'll leave it to you to take care of it.
Whatever you need to buy or add to your family, you can take care of it. Anyway...you are better at living than an eighteen-year-old high school student like me, right?"
"Then...it won't take so much, right?" Ou Xiuhua gritted her teeth, but her eyes were already red.
"I'm only eighteen years old." Chen Nuo said with a smile: "An eighteen-year-old child has more than 800,000 yuan on his body. Aren't you afraid that I will learn bad things and lose my money?"
This statement made Ou Xiuhua raise her eyebrows.
My ex-husband Gu Kang is a lesson learned from the past.
"Okay, this matter is settled." After Chen Nuo finished speaking, he yawned: "I didn't sleep well last night. I will go in to catch up on my sleep later.
By the way, should we go out to a restaurant for a meal today? After all, you have just come home, so there must be a sense of ceremony..."
"Yeah, it's okay. Don't go to such trouble. There's no need to spend that money." Ou Xiuhua was a little worried: "I, can I see Ye Zi today?"
"Well, when school is over in the afternoon, Brother Lei will go back to the kindergarten to pick her up..." Chen Nuo glanced at Ou Xiuhua: "If you are willing, let Brother Lei come and pick you up then, and you can go pick up the child together."
"good!"
"Then we still have to have dinner." Chen Nuo thought for a moment: "I'll ask Brother Lei to find a hotel and book a table."
"No! There's really no need!" Ou Xiuhua's voice was choked with sobs: "Just eat it at home, I...I'll do it."
"But there is no food at home."
"I, I'm going to buy it." Ou Xiuhua rubbed her hands and whispered: "I remember there is a market nearby, has it not been moved?"
"Well, it's still there on Tonghuai Street. It's the same place. It hasn't changed."
Ou Xiuhua seemed to feel relaxed suddenly.
Although shopping for groceries and cooking are not big things... having something to do seems to make Ou Xiuhua feel a little better.
Doing something for my children seems to be able to alleviate the anxiety and guilt in my heart a little.
Chen Nuo also knew this very well - at this time, Ou Xiuhua's heart was full of guilt for her child. If she continued to be polite, it would make this poor woman even more at a loss.
It's better not to be polite and let her do some work, do some things, and get busy, but it will make her feel better.
·
After Chen Nuo finished speaking, he went back to his room to rest.
Ou Xiuhua didn't even drink a glass of water at home, so she went out to buy groceries.
Before going out, he didn't forget to boil a pot of water and make a pot of tea for Chen Nuo to cool down.
Ou Xiuhua remembered the location of the wet market, so she walked half a street and detoured to an intersection.
The farmer's market in front of me looks a little different from what I remembered. The intersection has been widened and the signboard is bigger.
There is an extra row of shops facing the street.
Ou Xiuhua walked into the vegetable market and felt the smoke and fire in the world. Her originally anxious thoughts calmed down a little.
I pinched a handful of leeks and bought a dozen eggs - I remember Chen Nuo liked to eat scrambled eggs with leeks when he was a child.
I cut two kilograms of lean meat and bought a handful of edamame rice - I remember that little leaf likes to eat edamame fried shredded pork.
I cut a piece of winter melon and bought some kelp - kelp and winter melon soup is a favorite of children. Yes, I went to the pickle shop and bought two pickles. I cut two pieces and threw them into the soup pot to enhance the freshness.
After thinking about it, I remembered that my son liked to eat duck liver when he was young, so he went to a braised vegetable restaurant and bought half a catty.
As soon as I thought about it, I saw that the quality of the salted duck was not bad, so I cut off a back seat (a quarter, the position of the duck's leg).
In front of the window of the braised vegetable restaurant, Ou Xiuhua paid and picked up the cut duck, then subconsciously took a step back.
Suddenly I felt something stepped on my feet.
Looking back, Ou Xiuhua was stunned.
A foreigner?
She has blond hair and pretty facial contours - well, Ou Xiuhua was a beauty when she was young. According to her own label, the foreign girl in front of her is considered "pretty".
When I realized it, I was stepping on someone else's toes.
Ou Xiuhua was stunned for a moment and was struggling...
It's not that I'm ungrateful, I just don't know what to say.
If you speak Chinese, people may not understand you.
Speaking foreign languages... Ou Xiuhua doesn't know how to speak.
I was stunned for a second.
suddenly……
The beautiful foreign girl seemed a little uneasy and looked straight at Ou Xiuhua: "I'm sorry..."
Ou Xiuhua: "...Huh?"
"I'm sorry, I put my feet in the wrong place."
Ou Xiuhua: "???"
Nivel swallowed hard and said, "Auntie, it didn't hurt your feet, did it?"
Ou Xiuhua suddenly felt...
I...was locked up there for several years.
Is our country already so powerful now???
·
Nivel's face turned red as she looked at the woman in front of her, her heart pounding wildly.
At the same time, he quickly turned his head and glared fiercely behind him.
Behind a fruit stall, Li Yingwan was hiding there, looking cute and cute, holding a watermelon in front of her head.
Crazy!!
You are so tall! You look like a giraffe! You cover your face and think others can’t see it!!
besides!
Why did you push me just now!!
·
In fact, this pair of little allies have been following Ou Xiuhua since he attacked Chen Nuo's house.
Ou Xiuhua was released from prison today, and Chen Nuo went to pick him up...
The two girls actually knew it already.
The source of the news is Brother Lei.
Originally, Brother Lei would never reveal Chen Nuo's personal affairs easily.
But...these two girls are not outsiders!
They are all "little sisters-in-law"...
We are a family!
Brother Lei was embarrassed at that time, so he just said it.
Otherwise... wouldn't I be destroying the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
·
Seeing Ou Xiuhua's confused expression, Nivell finally understood that she was a bit ridiculous just now.
"That... aunt." The beautiful sports girl wiped the sweat from the tip of her nose nervously and whispered: "I am... Chen Nuo's friend."
The Chinese language is a bit stiff, but it is still understandable.
Ou Xiuhua was stunned and nodded subconsciously.
But my heart is still weird.
You are Chen Nuo's classmate...but how do you know me?
Nivel felt that her toes were about to dig out a sea-view room on the ground. She turned to the cute long-legged girl from South Korea who was standing behind the fruit stall holding a watermelon and playing "You can't see me, you can't see me".
: "You, come here quickly!"
"ah!"
Li Yingwan was so frightened that she almost lost her grip on the watermelon in her hand and walked over nervously.
"Um...Hello, aunt! I, I am Chen Nuoba's classmate! I, my name is Li Yingwan, I am seventeen years old, from Seoul, South Korea..."
After saying that, he bowed ninety degrees.
Snap!
The watermelon hit the ground!
The green skin and red flesh suddenly shattered to pieces!
The poor fireflies looked so pitiful that they almost cried!
Ou Xiuhua looked intently at the two girls in front of her.
Each has its own beauty, each has its own good.
In an instant, Ou Xiuhua vaguely guessed something, as she was middle-aged after all.
These two little girls are probably not here for their sons!
With this thought in mind, when he looked at the two little girls, Ou Xiuhua's mood was completely different.
Well...this little foreign girl is pretty, with a...good figure! She is fertile!
This breast, this ass...
And this little yellow girl... She speaks so weirdly in Chinese, is she Japanese or South Korean?
Couldn't he be Vietnamese?
But despite being so tall, these long legs are really pretty.
In the future, if you and Chen Nuo have a child, they will definitely be tall...
·
One large, two young, and three women just stared at each other in shock.
Someone quits!
"Hey!! Don't pay for the watermelon! Sixty cents per pound!!"
·
After walking out of the vegetable market, Ou Xiuhua walked in the middle empty-handed.
On both sides, one is plump and the other is tall, surrounded by two beautiful girls, holding large and small bags of vegetables in their hands.
Outside the vegetable market, there were two cars parked on the roadside. One belonged to a school director's assistant, and the other belonged to the daughter of a South Korean investor.
"Auntie, let's get in the car and go home?"
The two girls spoke at the same time.
Ou Xiuhua was a little confused and hesitated: "No, it's just a few steps away, no need to bother, really no need to bother."
Nivell thought for a moment and then directly hooked up with the person next to the car.
The first secretary of the assistant to the school director, the monitor of Class 3 and 6, immediately ran over with a nod and a bow.
"Hold it carefully."
"Ah? Good!"
The monitor glanced at Nivell and whispered: "Who is this aunt?"
"Chen Nuo's mother."
Monitor: "…………"
Li Yingwan glanced at the monitor, thought for a moment, threw the food in her hand to him, turned around and followed him.
The two girls held Ou Xiuhua's arm with one hand and walked forward.
The squad leader followed...
We are also classmates receiving education in the same school! How come the gap between people is so big?
The whole class knows about Li Yingwan and Chen Nuo.
About the school director’s assistant...only the monitor knows!
After all, he had seen the school director's assistant kiss Chen Nuo in the hotel lobby!!
`
Three women walked in front, and a squad leader walked behind carrying large and small bags.
Two cars were driving slowly and slowly along the roadside.
These two foreign girls seemed to be working hard to please themselves. They didn't speak awkwardly in Chinese, but their eyes were shining.
Ou Xiuhua felt that the most magical day in her more than forty years of life was nothing more than this!
Without fighting, he walked back to the gate of the community and came to the downstairs of Chen Nuo's house.
Nivel took the big and small bags from the monitor's hand.
"What did you see today?"
"I didn't see anything."
"If someone asks you when you go back, do you know what to say?"
"I accompanied you to the city library today to inspect the construction and planning of the library. It has been a busy day..."
Nivel nodded: "Very good, then remember to write a report."
"..." The squad leader sighed: "Okay, I'll leave it to you tomorrow morning."
·
When he returned home, Chen Nuo also came out of the back room and saw Ou Xiuhua coming back with the two girls. Chen Nuo just glanced at her without saying anything. He wheeled his wheelchair to the living room and picked up a book on the coffee table.
Book, flipping through it casually.
Ou Xiuhua was busy pouring water for the two girls, but as soon as she handed over a glass of water, Nivel held the glass and gave it to Chen Nuo with a smile.
Li Yingwan blinked her eyelids - Bichi!!
He quickly picked up a green orange he bought in a plastic bag, peeled it open and handed it to Chen Nuo: "Eat this, add some vitamins."
Chen Nuo glanced at it...I'm not a seafood seller.
Ou Xiuhua watched from the side, not knowing what she felt in her heart.
Relieved? Happy? Weird? Uneasy?
Anyway, there are all of them.
After thinking about it, I simply carried the dishes into the kitchen, washed my hands, and started cooking.
In fact, I haven't held a kitchen knife for several years in prison, and my hands have long since become raw.
At the beginning, the shredded meat was cut into different sizes, ranging in length and thickness.
However, while Ou Xiuhua was doing something, she gradually started to feel something. She felt the voice of young people coming from the living room, and she was standing in front of the kitchen stove... On days like this, I was afraid that she had been there a few days ago.
In prison, you can't even think about it.
Peace and joy!
Two girls also came into the kitchen and wanted to offer some help.
But...after all, he can’t do it!
Li Yingwan is the daughter of a capitalist, and Niver is from a noble family.
Peeling every edamame was so miserable that I almost split my nails.
Chen Nuo seemed to be in the presence of an old god, oblivious to the busyness in the kitchen. He just sat in the wheelchair in the living room, flipping through a book.
Although Ou Xiuhua became more and more confused about the relationship between her son and these two foreign girls... But it was not easy to ask questions when they were in front of her.
But... I have made up my mind! When the guests leave in the evening, I will definitely ask!
Although I feel sorry for my children as a mother, I still have to ask what I should ask!
Chen Nuo's father, Chen Jianshe, is a playboy! Don't give birth to a son who is a little playboy again!
Good people, don't follow those crooked ways!
The two girls don't look bad, but don't bring trouble to others!
It is only right to have one key and one lock.
There are two locks here, what does that mean?
·
By three o'clock in the afternoon, the dishes were almost ready.
Cut and washed, just waiting to be put into the pot.
There is no rush, picking up my daughter first is the top priority.
Moreover, we have to wait for the children to pick up the dishes before putting them in the pot.
If you fry it now, it will be cold by the evening.
As the time approached, Ou Xiuhua became more and more anxious. She almost cut her own fingers when cutting vegetables.
Ou Xiuhua was so distracted that even when the two girls next to her started talking to her, Ou Xiuhua was a little careless.
At three o'clock, Brother Lei came to the door on time.
When he entered the door, he saw two sisters-in-law chatting with Sister Ou. Seeing the harmony of the atmosphere, Brother Lei breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems correct to reveal the information myself.
Ou Xiuhua had been waiting for Brother Lei to arrive for a long time. She quickly got up and wiped her hands, then went to take care of him: "Well, Brother Lei..."
"Don't!!" Brother Lei was startled: "Don't call me that, Sister Ou...just call me..."
Rolling his eyes, Brother Lei said with a smile: "Just call me Xiao Lei. I'm only thirty years old this year, but I'm a little anxious because of my age. Just call me Xiao Lei."
How could Ou Xiuhua really call someone that, but she didn't know what to say, so she whispered: "Um, I..."
"My mother will go with you to pick up Ye Zi." Chen Nuo said gently from the side.
This phrase "my mother" almost made Ou Xiuhua shed tears on the spot!
Brother Lei quickly nodded: "Okay! The car is on the roadside downstairs. Well, Sister Ou, let's leave now."
"...Okay!" Ou Xiuhua glanced at Chen Nuo, said nothing, nodded, walked to change her shoes, and followed Brother Lei out.
After the mother left, Chen Nuo sighed, put down the book in his hand, and turned to look at the two girls in the room.
"Oppa..." Li Yingwan walked over and shouted in a low voice.
Chen Nuo said nothing.
Nivel also walked over and boldly met Chen Nuo's gaze: "It was my idea. If you want to be angry, just do it to me."
Chen Nuo: "..."
He smiled softly and shook his head: "Brother Lei told you."
"Um."
Chen Nuo thought for a while: "Let's stay for dinner tonight. Otherwise, I would be a little embarrassed facing her."
After a pause, he added: "Don't be like this in the future. If you are too enthusiastic, you will scare her."
After saying that, Chen Nuo put down the book in his hand.
Nivell glanced at it, and it was an English book, "Neurobiology, From Neurons to Brain."
"Are you reading this?" Nivel picked up the book and flipped it twice, realizing that she couldn't understand it at all: "Will this help you...recover?"
"You won't know until you look at it. Anyway, it's just idle time." Chen Nuo shook his head.
Li Yingwan bit her lip, squatted in front of Chen Nuo, and held one of his hands with both hands: "Oppa..."
"Okay, I'm just in some trouble for the time being, and I'm not going to die." Chen Nuo frowned and said, "Stop crying."
With that said, Chen Nuo picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of water: "On your side, really... I advise you to give up."
The two girls looked at each other: "..."
"As for me, I want to focus on studying for the time being, so I won't think about emotional matters." Chen Nuo said seriously.
Li Yingwan was stunned for a moment.
Nivel sneered: "Studying, right? Then I will prevent you from graduating!"
Chen Nuo smiled, looked at the two girls in front of him, and then said seriously: "No kidding...really, I meant it, I have said it to you seriously in the past few days.
There are people I like in my heart, even if they leave me, I will not like others."
Nivel sneered: "Humph...them? Look, are you speaking human language?"
"That's right!! Why can't I be included in this 'them'?" Li Yingwan said confidently.
Chen Nuo frowned: "Now you really don't want to talk anymore..."
·
When Ou Xiuhua went to pick up classmate Chen Xiaoye from school, Chen Nuo did not witness it with her own eyes.
Originally, today is not the weekend, and Ye Zi should stay in the kindergarten.
But wasn't Ou Xiuhua coming home after being released from prison, so she brought Ye Zi back temporarily.
When the mother and daughter came home and entered the house, Little Leaf hung on Ou Xiuhua's body like a koala, hugging Ou Xiuhua's neck tightly.
Ou Xiuhua just held her daughter in her arms, as if she would not let go for a moment.
Both mother and daughter's eyes were red, and they clearly looked like they had just cried...
Brother Lei secretly told Chen Nuo that he was indeed crying.
We started crying as soon as we met at the entrance of the kindergarten. We hugged each other and cried together, and then we also cried when we got in the car.
Cried all the way!
"elder brother!"
When he saw Chen Nuo at home, Chen Xiaoye finally came out of Ou Xiuhua's arms. When he walked to Chen Nuo, Xiaoye raised his face and asked a little uneasily: "Can I ask you a favor?"
"Well, you say."
"Mom...Mom...can you live with us? Can mom not leave anymore?"
Chen Nuo smiled, looked at his sister's shining eyes, and reached out to touch her head.
"Then... from now on, let mom sleep on half of your bed, okay?"
"Of course!!!!" Ye Zi screamed, jumped up immediately, jumped into Chen Nuo's arms and kissed her hard: "Mom, will you sleep with me from now on?"
"Well, you don't have to live on campus anymore. You can go home after school every day... From now on, mom will pick you up from school every day and then come home to live there, okay?"
Chen Xiaoye shouted in surprise and immediately started laughing.
But while smiling, the girl shed tears again...
Seeing Ou Xiuhua coming over and hugging her daughter tightly, she looked at herself gratefully.
Chen Nuo sighed inwardly.
His eyes turned to the pot of asparagus placed on the balcony in the living room...
(So, let me help you take care of your family... they will live a very good, very good, very good life...)

[I didn’t watch the European Cup...I didn’t watch a single game of this year’s European Cup. I really spent all my time on work.]
