cool autumn

The girl hugged the teddy bear and stared blankly at the beautiful brother in the beautiful portrait in front of her. Tears were condensed in the sockets of her eyes. She wanted to confirm whether Zhou Ran really wanted to buy her house. , but she opened her mouth but was unable to speak. After a moment of hesitation, she hugged the little bear tightly and staggered to stand up, making gestures with both hands. Zhou Ran could only roughly see that she seemed to be telling herself to wait.

Seeing the little girl running away quickly, Zhou Ran couldn't help but smile with the corners of her mouth curled up. Compared with the despair just now, this kind of spiritual and forward-looking vitality is more attractive.

Taking advantage of the time when the little girl ran away, Zhou Ran strolled into the gate. The inside was empty, only a few wooden stools and a dilapidated small table were scattered here and there. These are the meals specially given to the little girl by the old man next door for the past two days, but today a group of uninvited guests broke in before they could clean up.

The house faces south from the north, and the house is in a good shape. The white ash on the wall is still very new. It should be a new house that has just been built in recent years.The hall is very wide, and there is a small room connected to the left. Zhou Ran plans to ask the engineering team to dismantle it and open it up into one piece. It is just right to use it as a storefront. The washing machine and other things in the house have been removed, and the washing powder on the ground seems to have been kicked by someone, and it is scattered all over the floor. Zhou Ran noticed that there seems to be a small warehouse behind the kitchen. It is used to store things and put dry goods.

Go upstairs along the stairs, there are four rooms on the left and right sides, and each of them has a small toilet.The layout of the first bedroom is obviously more mature, and the clothes on the floor are thrown everywhere. It is obvious that the group of people came to rummage through the boxes just now to find money. I also know, who would forget to bring those people on the road? Valuables, leave it behind.The second and third rooms should be children's rooms, and the other one is a study room, and most of the things in it have been emptied.Zhou Ran rubbed his chin, it was just right, and it saved him the trouble of finding someone to clean up these things.

Because he was afraid that the little girl would not be found when she came back, Zhou Ran didn't stay upstairs too long, just took a few casual glances and then went downstairs.

Going out of the gate, I saw the little girl pulling two old people over, one of them was the old man who was pushed to the ground just now.Just now he yelled at his wife to quickly pour him the medicinal oil, and after a few flips, the little girl came to the door, saw her gesticulating in a hurry, and pointed at the girl next door. The house, I roughly guessed that someone was looking for her to buy a house, and he didn't care about the bruises all over his body, so he quickly put on his clothes and dragged his wife to come.

"You said you want to buy a house?" The old man slowly stood up straight, looked up and down Zhou Ran with bright eyes, and asked.

Zhou Ran nodded with a smile, touched the back of Er Bao's neck, paused, and replied, "Yes."

The old man dubiously looked at the half-grown child in front of him, and saw that he was not dressed like an ordinary child, but you said that this child looked expensive, and he said he wanted to buy a house as soon as he opened his mouth. If it’s not in the downtown area, then it’s meaningless for him to come here. The deserted area is not as fun as the downtown area outside.

After thinking about it, the old man felt that it was not credible. He couldn't be making trouble sincerely, right?Thoughts were going back and forth in his heart, but he waved his right hand on his face, asking him to go to the next room to discuss in detail.Anyway, he had to try it out, he didn't want to give up this rare opportunity.

Zhou Ran calmly looked back at the old man, followed behind the three of them with a faint smile, and couldn't help but smile when the little girl looked at him eagerly.

After entering the next room, the old man asked his wife to bring two glasses of water, and then he asked Zhou Ran to sit down and talk with him, while the little girl hugged the teddy bear tightly, looking at Zhou Ran nervously, There were two big black eyes staring at the thin face, which felt particularly abrupt.

After a moment of silence, the old man spoke first, "Why do you want to buy a house here? As far as I know, there are many houses for sale in the downtown area not far away. You can buy them there." .”

Zhou Ran reached out to pick up the white porcelain bowl filled with boiling water, lowered his head and took a sip. It was probably boiled water from a well, and there was a unique sweetness of well water as soon as he entered it. Well, so there is this guess.

"I came here today just to find a house that suits me. Because I will be studying at the second high school near here soon, because my current residence is inconvenient, and I don't like living on campus. That's why I decided to buy a house, and you don't have to worry about the boy teasing you." Zhou Ran sat down and explained in a calm tone.

The words are sincere, and the old man is half relieved, but, "Will your parents agree with you to buy a house here? Can you make up your mind?" Although it is very close to the school, it is not If other places are prosperous, children like Zhou Ran's current age generally like to gather in lively places. The old man is really worried that the children will not be able to hold on, and they will regret it within two days.

Zhou Ran smiled, not annoyed by the old man's questioning of him, but still gently explained to him: "There are only me and my mother in the family, and my mother also means the same thing, as long as I fancy a place, I will be with her Just say hello."

Hearing that the child in front of him said that he was in a single-parent family, the old man and his wife looked at each other and had an idea in their hearts.However, selling a house is a big deal. They are not related to the little girl and they are not hers, so they can't sell the house for her, can they?Moreover, when he thought of the group of vicious people just now, the old man was also a little worried, "Si Yue, do you still have the house property certificate at home? Or was it taken away by your parents as well?"

The little girl's full name is Tao Siyue, and her nickname is Erya. Because she was born in April and she is a girl, her parents chose this name at will.

Siyue still hugged the teddy bear tightly, listening to them attentively, and hearing her Grandpa Xu's question, she hesitated for a while, biting her back molars, as if she had made some important decision Yes, he generously handed out the little bear in his arms, and the old man couldn't help laughing, rubbed his chin and explained: "I'm not talking about this, it's the real estate certificate, do you understand the real estate certificate? It's just... ..."

Before he finished speaking, Si Yue reached into the belly of the broken toy bear, and took out a crumpled piece of vermilion paper with the words 'property certificate' written on it. A big character, the old man who choked suddenly got stuck in the middle of the conversation, neither swallowed nor spit out, it was really interesting that he couldn't go up or down.

When I opened it, I saw that the first column of the real estate certificate stated that the head of the household was a person named Tao Dayong, which was Erya's grandfather's name.Tao Siyue will always remember that before his grandfather died, he looked at him so firmly and gently, and told him that he must take good care of this thing, and he couldn't let his son of a bitch get it. The house is given to the beast.Siyue doesn't know why her grandfather hates her father so much, but her grandfather has always been very kind to her, and she can't live up to his expectations.

In fact, April knew that her parents would not take her away and would abandon her.That night when she was thirsty, she got up to drink water. She accidentally saw the lights in the study room bright as day, so she wanted to take a look. She heard her parents whispering about what to pack and take away, how to plan the route and how to use Erya's exist to create the illusion that they are still there.They talked a lot, but April only remembered one sentence, they only took their younger brother away, and they wanted to abandon themselves.

They didn't know that when they sneaked away in the middle of the night without looking back, Siyue stood at the window and watched them go without saying a word. She was expecting them to turn around, even if they really disliked her. She is cumbersome, and she dislikes that she can't share their burden. If you want to get rid of her heavy burden, can't you just turn around and look at yourself?But, no, they left without hesitation and without nostalgia.

Siyue felt that her heart seemed to have followed them away step by step and died.

When the old man looked carefully at the real estate certificate, Zhou Ran also glanced at it. It was okay not to look at it, but he frowned when he saw it, "It seems that I can't buy this house for the time being." Zhou Ran He sighed.

The old man raised his eyebrows and asked in a strange tone: "Why?"

Zhou Ran pointed to Tao Dayong, the head of the household in the first column, and explained: "It is said that after Tao Dayong passed away, the heir in line who can take over this house is his son, wife and grandchildren, but the heir in line It's April's parents. As far as the current situation is concerned, April's parents have absconded with debts, so the inheritance right of this house falls on April, but April is not yet an adult, so before he becomes an adult, she There is no right to sell the house at all."

The old man and his wife coveted each other. They both knew nothing about the law, and basically knew nothing about it. Hearing what Zhou Ran said, they didn't know what to do?

Just when he was worried, he heard a loud and clear voice outside the door, "Grandpa, Grandma, I'm back." Hearing the voice, the old man hurriedly took his wife out together, and seeing that it was indeed his grandson, he suddenly felt Like a backbone, he welcomed people in.

This young man is called Xu Sizhu. He looks like he is in his early twenties with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Zhou Ran's eyes hurt a little.

The old man and his wife took each side, both of them were smiling and holding the hand of their grandson, chatting and asking questions, so affectionate.After a while, he pulled someone to sit down, briefly said a few words about Si Yue's family, and finally told him about buying a house with a sad face, hoping that he could find a way to solve it.

The black guy rubbed his head, turned his head to look at Zhou Ran for a long time, and then slowly answered the old man's question, "Grandpa, I'm not very clear about this, or I'll ask our captain to help you figure out a solution." Son, he knows a lot." This Xu Sizhu is actually a soldier, and he just happened to be home on a day off today, so it must be a coincidence for him, otherwise it really wouldn't happen.

Zhou Ran knocked unconsciously with his index finger a few times before saying: "Actually, there is no other way. As long as you help Siyue find a guardian, the matter is half done."

guardian?The old man and the three looked at each other, and the young man in black also had an idea in his heart. After thinking for a while, he smiled at Zhou Ran and said, "We still need to make a careful calculation of this matter, or you can leave your number first." I've settled this matter, and I'll contact you again."

Zhou Ran smiled, nodded irrefutably, and left with Er Bao in his arms.

At the end, Zhou Ran glanced back at the house, well, if nothing goes wrong, the house is undoubtedly his.

Zhou Ran's lunch was settled in a small restaurant. On the way home, he called Zhou Huaning, explained the situation of buying a house, and then listened to Zhou Huaning on the other end of the phone who was silent for a few seconds, solemnly expressing that I'll be back in two days.For Zhou Huaning, no matter how mature and stable Zhou Ran is now, in her eyes, Zhou Ran will always be her child. How can she stay in Chunlin Town without worry when buying a house is such a big deal? Whether you hear it or not.

Zhou Ran looked at the number in his hand that was instantly hung up, and suddenly remembered that Huo Wendong had installed another independent shielding system in his mobile phone when he left in the morning. The other card installed in the mobile phone could be reached by no one except the two of them. You can't get in between the two of you.Reminiscent of Huo Wendong's complicated and deep emotions when he left, my heart began to feel heavy and uneasy.

When he got home, Zhou Ran fell headlong on the bed. The clean sheets just put on in the morning had a fresh smell of washing powder, which slightly washed away the pain in his head, and he heard it for a few seconds without closing his eyes The sound of the doorbell made Zhou Ran's temples thump.

Annoyed, he grabbed his hair casually, but Zhou Ran pulled the hem of his clothes and got up to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, I saw Su Yaozheng, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, leaning gracefully on the door frame and posing poss. When he saw Zhou Ran, he smiled. A little princess came out.

"Beautiful brother, do you miss us?" Su Yanbao pouted and asked with a smile, and Su Beiling next to him also had an expression of "If you dare to say it's not you, you're dead".

Zhou Ran squatted down with a smile, touched the heads of the two little babies, nodded and said in agreement: "I think about it, I really think about it, I plan to see you in two days." Then she turned her face and waited for their respective Fragrant one.

After waiting for a long time without seeing them leave, I heard two little guys, Su Yanbao and Su Beiling covering their faces shyly, pinching their voices to imitate the heroine in the TV: "Oh, I always ask others to take the initiative, but they are all Not reserved anymore."

Zhou Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, they must have been the ones clamoring to kiss him before, but she had no choice but to lower her head and kiss each of their faces before entering the door contentedly.

As soon as he entered the room, Su Yao collapsed on the sofa carelessly, patted the sofa and shouted: "Ah Ran, hurry up, hurry up, we are dying of thirst, hurry up and pour some glasses of water." drying.

Su Yanbao and Su Beiling also looked extremely thirsty, but when Zhou Ran said that he wanted to make honey water for them to drink, Su Yanbao took the initiative to run over and offered to help.

Because a lot of honey was exchanged from the monkeys in the small woods in space before, Zhou Ran usually soaked some honey water to drink, and this kitchen often kept jars there, and now it is just right for entertaining guests. .

While scooping honey with a spoon, Zhou Ran turned his head and asked the child, "What's wrong with your little dad?" He looked extremely tired.

Su Yanbao was strolling in the kitchen idly, and when she heard the question, she glanced outside mysteriously, and then told Zhou Ran in a low voice, "I'll tell you, but you can't tell anyone else," Zhou Ran nodded. Then he said again: "Actually, we are running away from home now."

Zhou Ran raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice, "Why?"

Su Yanbao shook her head, also with a puzzled look on her face, "I don't know, anyway, the eldest daddy was very happy at his birthday last night, but when we wake up, the little daddy will be unhappy again."

Stopping the movements of his hands, Zhou Ran squinted his eyes and recalled that Su Yao was leaning against the wall just now, looking coquettish and coquettish, but in fact his whole body was sore and tired. He couldn't help but smiled meaningfully, and didn't forget to ask Su Yanbao something, "What about your big daddy?"

The child pouted and shook his head, "We ran out while Big Daddy was out, and he doesn't know yet."

Zhou Ran stirred the honey water in the glass, and asked her to take it out with a smile, "I'll bring you some more jam, and you can take it out for them to drink first, okay?"

Su Yanbao nodded cheerfully, and took out the plate carefully, while Zhou Ran turned around and found the jars of jam he usually kept in the cupboard, because Zhou Huaning liked to dig out the jars of jam when he was watching TV in his free time. A small bowl is eaten while watching TV, so Zhou Ran is also used to put several kinds of jams of different flavors and save them for her snacks.

Su Yanbao, Su Beiling, the two little ones drank the honey water, turned on the TV, and watched cartoons while holding a bowl of jam and eating happily, while Su Yaozao hurriedly ate a few bites, then lay down on the bed Catch up on sleep on the sofa, while Zhou Ran continued to tap on the computer.

When it was time for dinner, Su Yao woke up very prepared, and asked Zhou Ran sleepily, "What's for dinner?"

Zhou Ran looked up at the alarm clock, and said calmly that he didn't know how to cook. As a kitchen killer, Su Yao decisively pulled the two little ones and went out with Zhou Ran, cooking?It's a joke, and I'm not afraid that the kitchen will be scrapped by him.

On the way, the two children kept lying on the window chattering and discussing what to eat, but in the end they couldn't argue, it was Su Yao who made the decision and went to a small restaurant with a unique style that they usually go to.

When they arrived at the place, Su Yao led a group of four people to find a relatively inward seat, and was ordering food, when his eyes suddenly turned, he became a little surprised.

"Aran, I actually saw an animal that looks so similar to you." He widened his eyes and described it bluntly.

Zhou Ran was drinking tea with his head down, when he heard this, he looked puzzled and asked, "What?"

Su Yao covered his mouth and laughed tremblingly, pointing to a place not far from them: "Duck, hahahahaha..."

Zhou Ran turned his head and looked far away, and couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, isn't it just a 'little duck'.
