Chapter 270 Sister-in-law

Zhao Hongbing is not the kind of person who takes advantage of others. This may be a pity, but if it really doesn't work, there's nothing wrong with giving up growing mushrooms.

In short, we can no longer let Si Ningning subsidize it out of his own pocket like before.

That's not what humans do.

After Zhao Hongbing finished speaking, he turned to Huo Lang. Si Ningning looked around between the two of them, smiled slightly, and pushed back, "Captain, you guys talk first, I'll go to the team first."

In Zhao Hongbing's eyes, Si Ningning and Huo Lang were usually the kind of people who couldn't get along with each other. They suddenly got together to talk about something. He came here to talk about things, not to delay things.

of.

So, Zhao Hongbing said "Hey...", waved his hand, and said bluntly: "No, Si Zhiqing, this matter is not a secret that cannot be heard, it is just a small matter, not too big or too small. I will finish it

Come on, you and Alang can do whatever they need to do in a while."

"Haha... okay then."

Zhao Hongbing made it clear that there was no need to avoid him. Si Ningning responded with a smile and said nothing more. She stood aside obediently and listened to them.

"Alang, I originally thought that Comrade Yan would stay here for a few more days, so I rushed to the town early this morning and didn't entertain Comrade Yan much..."

"Who knew that during my absence, Comrade Yan had already asked the scorer to take her around the nearby fields. As soon as I came back, Comrade Yan's clothes were all packed, and she said she would deliver them to her after lunch.

She returned to the county...you said this happened, what will happen now?"

He didn't entertain people much. When Zhao Hongfa took people to see the fields, the introduction was not in place. Zhao Hongbing didn't know that. Now that this person was leaving, Zhao Hongbing always felt that he had not seized this opportunity.

This is not to show off, but to let the county officials know that their production team is capable and capable. Then, if they apply for resources layer by layer in the future, the probability of success will be greater, right?

Zhao Hongbing's scalp made a "sizzling" sound when he scratched it, his dark face was wrinkled, and his whole person looked annoyed.

"..." Huo Lang was silent, thought about his words and said: "Uncle, Comrade Yan is not a cadre in the county. She is from the capital city and has other responsibilities..."

"What?!"

Before Huo Lang could finish his sentence, Zhao Hongbing suddenly spoke up with a loud voice, "What? I'm from Beijing, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Wouldn’t it be true that cadres from the capital city have more credibility than cadres from the county?

"Look, look, how could I come to receive the cadres from Beijing and the city without asking the captain? Look at you, Alan, you can do this!"

"..."

"..."

Huo Lang turned his head and looked at Si Ningning. In Si Ningning's dark eyes, he saw not only a flash of smile, but also his own helplessness.

"Uncle, let's talk about this..." Huo Lang rubbed his forehead helplessly with a headache, and probably explained to Zhao Hongbing that Yan Wenshu came here from the capital city to the county because she had a mission and came here to give birth.

The team was just because they were old acquaintances with him, and it was not an inspection.

But as for Yan Wenshu's main mission for this trip, Huo Lang didn't say much.

Zhao Hongbing came back to his senses and realized that everything was due to his misunderstanding. Although he felt a little annoyed, it was not disappointing or angry at being deceived.

Zhao Hongbing scratched the side of his cheek and said embarrassedly: "Oh, oh... I thought it was the leader who came to inspect, but I was overthinking it."

"It doesn't matter if it's not a leader's inspection. It's not easy for a comrade to come all the way here. You should stay for two more days and rest for one thing, and experience our customs and customs is another thing!"

Zhao Hongbing patted Huo Lang's shoulder with his big hand, "Alang, since you are familiar with Comrade Yan, why not go and talk to Comrade Yan? Let her stay for two more days and get to know our people well...

Ah, that culture will be better when you return to Beijing and work with the comrades you work with, right?"

Zhao Hongbing put one hand on Huo Lang's shoulder, curled up the other hand and pointed his index finger in the air, "Alang, as our host, we must maintain the friendship of landlords!"

Huo Lang's peach blossom eyes subconsciously turned to Si Ningning, who was standing on one side.

He didn't forget that Si Ningning had just made a fuss last night, and then he determined that at the critical moment of the relationship, Huo Lang didn't want anything to go wrong.

Huo Lang's eyes met Si Ningning's, and his thin and sexy lips opened and closed and he was about to speak. Unexpectedly, when Zhao Hongbing saw his eyes scanning Si Ningning, he thought he was asking for his opinion, so he spoke first and directly addressed his voice.

Pressed down.

Zhao Hongbing asked: "Si Zhiqing, what do you think of arranging this matter like this?"

Si Ningning moved like flowing water and lifted the broken hair on his left cheek behind his ear. He folded his hands on the side of his abdomen and held the water bottle strap. His big eyes swayed and he quickly glanced at Huo Lang, and then he smiled slightly and sweetly.

He stood up and said, "Very good captain."

This smile and this sentence hit Zhao Hongbing's heart, so Huo Lang's personal opinion became less important, and Zhao Hongbing settled the matter with a wave of his hand.

After Zhao Hongbing left, Huo Lang stood on the tree-lined path filled with dappled sunshine and stared at Si Ningning's face covering her mouth and snickering, "Why don't you ask me what I mean?"

Si Ningning blinked innocently, her long eyelashes forming a shallow shadow under the halo of light slanting down between the leaves, "The captain was here just now, how can I ask? And the captain has said so, how can I respond?"

Are you coming?"

"Aren't you angry?"

Huo Lang groaned and asked the question without answering.

"If she is not your sister, then I will definitely be angry. Now that I know she is your biological sister, why should I be angry? If I am angry, who will I become?"

Si Ningning glared at Huo Lang with a smile on her face, walked around Huo Lang in front with her bulging mouth, and her crisp voice carried a late-summer laziness, "Hurry up! I still have something to give to Comrade Yan!"

"

Huo Lang likes Si Ningning, and he can accept whatever Si Ningning does.

No matter whether you are stubborn, petty or squeamish, he is willing to coax and support you.

Including this time, he was already prepared to coax Si Ningning.

but……

His little girl is not someone who makes trouble unreasonably, and is even sometimes considerate and helps him take care of some problems that he doesn't notice.

Huo Lang felt that his heart suddenly softened, as if a strange and special warmth had been injected into the rigid rules.

Huo Lang's thin lips curved gently, and he took two steps with his long legs to follow Si Ningning, "Si Ningning."

"Um?"

"What do you want to give to Yan Wenshu?"

"...This is a secret between girls, I won't tell you!"

"You've only met her a few times and you already have a secret?" Huo Lang took out Si Ningning's long braid and played with it. His calm and hoarse voice suddenly turned a bit mean in an instant, "If you give her something, that's

Don’t I have a share in it too?”

"There's a ghost!" Si Ningning glanced at Huo Lang angrily and replied speechlessly on the spot, "You don't know what you want?"

"You gave it to me, I want everything."

There is no limit to how sexy an old man can be, and anyone who walks around can use love quotes as common expressions.

Why hadn't she noticed that Huo Lang was so shameless before?

Si Ningning blushed in anger, glared at Huo Lang, stamped her feet fiercely and said, "No!"

Si Ningning bypassed Huo Lang and rushed forward quickly.

Behind him, Huo Lang saw her blushing cheeks and smiled teasingly, muttering "I won't say any more." However, after a few steps to meet his boss Ningning, he suddenly leaned towards him again, his eyes low and low.

He shouted out Si Ningning’s name dumbly:

"Si Ningning."

"Um?"

"As long as you need me, I will always be here." Huo Lang promised solemnly.

Si Ningning's taut face of shame and anger, her slender crescent eyebrows relaxed for a moment, and the proud retort almost blurted out.

Si Ningning stopped talking in time, nodded and drooped her eyelids, and while accepting with a low "hmm", she acquiesced to Huo Lang's promise.

The hands of the big one and the small one that had been let go just now because of Zhao Hongbing's appearance overlapped in the pleasant and quiet path lined with tree shadows, and were held together again.

Huo Lang communicated with Yan Wenshu according to Zhao Hongbing's wishes. He originally thought that Yan Wenshu would stay for a few more days as expected. Unexpectedly, Yan Wenshu refused and revealed his thoughts: "Brother, wait until next time."

I'll come again when I get the chance, this time

Time is a bit tight. In addition to communicating with people in the county, I have other things to do... My dad has a friend here. Before coming here, my dad asked me to go and visit him. Now I am only a few days away from returning.

I can only make a choice and push you first."

As Yan Wenshu spoke, she rubbed her nose with her fingers and laughed. She glanced up and down at Huo Lang jokingly, "Anyway, I'm sure you're doing well and your future sister-in-law is a good person. It's enough that you can interact with Grandma Huo and Grandpa when you go back."

Already."

Seeing that she was still as fond of making small moves as when she was a child, Huo Lang's stern face gradually softened, "Since you have made a decision, I won't embarrass you, but there is something else before I leave..."

Huo Lang turned his head slightly and glanced towards the courtyard door of Zhao Hongbing's house. The sneaky girl was still crouching by the door and looking carefully, but now she was hiding tightly, as if she had received the message in advance.

Not even a hair was leaking out.

Huo Lang sighed in a funny and helpless manner, retracted his gaze, moved closer to Yan Wenshu, and said in a low voice: "Your sister-in-law wants to see you and has something to say privately."

Yan Wenshu narrowed her eyes suspiciously, then widened her eyes in shock at Huo Lang's playful words.

Yan Wenshu suddenly looked up at Huo Lang, her eyes full of disbelief.

Her eldest brother, who has been as cold as a coffin board since childhood, actually has a teasing and joking side??!

Hearing Huo Lang talk about cheese Ning Ning, Yan Wenshu followed Huo Lang and took a look at the door beforehand, and nodded without thinking: "Okay! You can do it anytime!"

"Don't worry, I'll take her with me after you finish your meal." Huo Lang said calmly.

Yan Wenshu nodded, grinning with neat white teeth, "Okay!"

After talking about the business, Huo Lang took out a small roll of money bills from his pocket. Yan Wenshu saw it clearly and immediately waved her hand and said, "Brother, I brought money when I came out from home. I have been eating in the cafeteria these days.

In a commune member's home, I save money on food stamps and I still have a lot of money left with me, so you don't need to give me any more."

"Take it if it's given to you, keep it if you don't need it, and use it as a dowry later." Huo Lang directly put the money note into Yan Wenshu's hand, and after a while he told: "You still have to give what you should give to the commune members' families. Every household has to give it to them."

It’s not easy, and we can’t take advantage of others even if we have something ourselves.”

After speaking, Huo Lang paused, sighed again, and rubbed the top of Yan Wenshu's head like he did when he was a child. "As you grow older, you have to learn a little bit about how to behave in the world."

"I know, brother, my parents always nag these words when we meet. I have already remembered them." Yan Wenshu's eyes turned red.

When I was a child, I lived outside my family. There were many children of my cousins, cousins, and cousins ​​in the compound, but Yan Wenshu was actually the only daughter in the family.

Her parents were busy and she was alone at home when she was a child. Yan Wenshu felt very lonely. At that time, she was autistic and didn't like to talk. Later, during the years when she lived outside her home, she was noisy with a lot of children, and her personality gradually improved.

Change.

For Yan Wenshu, her maternal cousins ​​are her brothers and sisters with different surnames whose blood is thicker than water. Because when they grow up, they accept their missions and go their separate ways, which is unavoidable.

But unfortunately, the brief time of meeting each other has come to an end, and there will be a long time in the future, and we will not be able to see each other again.

It may be one year, it may be three years, or it may be longer...

Yan Wenshu rubbed her face and laughed to lighten the atmosphere, "Now I can feel at ease at home. I no longer have to worry about you not being able to find a wife."

Huo Lang said an inaudible "Hmm", then stepped back and waved to Yan Wenshu, "Go in, I'll pick you up at one o'clock."

"Um!"

Yan Wenshu said "Hmm" loudly. After Huo Lang left, she wiped away the tears from her eyes, patted her face and turned to go into the house.

On the other side, Si Ningning trotted behind Huo Lang in the alley, "What did you say just now? Why did you suddenly lower your voice? I didn't even hear you!"

"I didn't say anything, I just said, 'Your sister-in-law has something to tell you, please take some time before leaving.'" Huo Lang confessed.

Si Ningning stomped her feet when she heard this, stretched out her hand and pinched Huo Lang's waist complainingly, "You don't mean 'sister-in-law' or 'sister-in-law', how can you talk like that!? What will people think later?"

"It's true. I told the truth and I didn't lie. What should I be afraid of?" There was no one in the alley, so Huo Lang took the opportunity to hold Si Ningning's troublesome hand, "And if you don't say that, what should you say? There is an educated youth named Si.

Looking for you? What should I do if she disappears? Do you think so?"

"Then you can't say that. This is a matter between the two of us. How can we make such a big fuss that the whole world knows about it when we haven't even decided yet?"

"Okay, I've said it all and I can't take it back now..." Before Huo Lang could finish his words, Si Ningning frowned and glared at her. Helplessly, Huo Lang spread his hands and compromised, admitting his mistake and coaxing: "Okay, okay, okay.

, I won’t say that again next time, okay? Let’s go, the sun is so strong in the alley, it’s so hot.”

Half persuading and half coaxing, Huo Lang led Si Ningning away. Little did he know that as soon as they left, a head popped out from the corner of the alley.
