Is Chapter 7 the savior?
Jiang Xin is like a bird just released from the cage, and he is very novel about the outside world.
Huo Yuanqi was an ordinary person, even more shabby.A room with two bedrooms and one living room, a second-hand car bought from a flea market, and a rich family. Although the car is a good car, it is depreciated after all.
Huo Yuanqi took Jiang Xin with his right hand and walked into the subway entrance, thinking carefully in his heart:
The room where the song was written was cleaned up and used as a bedroom for Xinxin. In the evening, I took out the quilt that I bought for the furniture before and made a living all night. I will buy a new one for him tomorrow. Remember to go to the school to register for him and find another job. Only then...
"Uncle, what are you thinking?"
Jiang Xin moved the hand that was held by Huo Yuanji. Huo Yuanji was born tall, but he was small, and the curls on the top of his head barely reached Huo Yuanqi's chest.Jiang Xin is very white, with thin yellow hair, and he is malnourished at first glance. Since then, he has to drink a glass of milk every day.
Squeak—the subway stopped in front of the two of them.
Huo Yuanqi smiled and said nothing, and took Jiang Xin to the subway.
There were not many people, and Jiang Xinan sat quietly next to Huo Yuanqi. Because the seat was too slippery, Huo Yuanji forgot to pull it.Jiang Xin looked up and suddenly came over to speak.
"Uncle, this is not our car to go home"
"No, let's go to school"
"Ah, going to school now? I... I'm not ready to introduce myself yet"
Jiang Xin blushed a little, the corners of his mouth drooped slightly, and Ren Huo Yuanji, who had a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, gave him a pat on the back.
Huo Yuanqi thought it was funny, when the child was unhappy or unwilling, he didn't cry or make trouble, he just curled his lips, looking at a pitiful little face, in fact, he knew that Huo Yuanqi had him in his heart, he was acting like a baby Woolen cloth.
"Don't want to go to school?"
Huo Yuanqi came to his mind and just wanted to tease him.
"It's great to go to school, you have a lot of friends, and the teacher will like you very much"
"Okay... okay, okay, but I haven't prepared anything yet"
"No need to prepare, just go directly to the classroom and sit down"
Huo Yuanji held back his mind and played tricks.
"Ah? That can't be done, how impolite..."
Huo Yuanqi patted Jiang Xin on the back.
"Here we go, get out of the car"
Jiang Xin was very flustered, and he walked out of the subway slowly, twisting and twisting his two little hands behind his back, and he couldn't hear the cries of the grandma selling roasted sweet potatoes beside him, Huo Yuanqi stopped for a while, but Jiang Xin didn't Seeing it, he walked forward in a self-conscious manner.
"new new"
Huo Yuanqi watched him walk five or six meters away and yelled.
"Do you want to eat?"
Jiang Xin turned his head, Huo Yuanji took the roasted sweet potatoes passed by his grandmother and walked towards him, is it cold?
Jiang Xin licked his lips, and was about to reach out to grab it, but suddenly withdrew his little hand.
"Still... let's not eat it"
Jiang Xin lowered his head and secretly looked at it from the corner of his eye, then licked his lips quietly before speaking.
"If the food is dirty, my classmates will laugh at me and won't be friends with me."
Originally thinking about this, Huo Yuanji pulled Jiang Xin to the side of the road, squatted down slightly and looked at Jiang Xin.
"Xinxin, we don't go to school to go to school. At this time, the high school students have just had their winter vacation. We are going to give you a certificate of school status while the teachers are still there. We have to go to school when the school starts, so we have to prepare early. ?”
Jiang Xin looked at Huo Yuanji and blinked his eyes, and it took a long time before he said a word.
Huo Yuanqi thought he was going to blame himself for making him so flustered and nervous.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xin said:
"Uncle, what is... winter vacation?"
"..." Huo Yuanqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. So after thinking about it for a long time, he just asked this question?
"Xinxin, that's not the point. My brother is bullying you, making you so nervous just now, aren't you angry?"
"angry?"
"Yeah, angry, I made you flustered, I was thinking about introducing myself just now, and bit my lip, I saw it all"
"Ah? You won't be angry. Uncle is so kind. He took me out of the orphanage and bought me new clothes..."
"Jiang Xin!"
In the past two days, Huo Yuanji had never called him Jiang Xin by his first and last name. Jiang Xin was a little timid, biting his lip and lowering his head.
"What... what's wrong, uncle"
Huo Yuanqi had a lot of clues in his heart. He wanted Jiang Xin to be like other children, who would get angry, ignore others, say hate him, and get angry with him.But Jiang Xin didn't. He had a pure mind and was full of gratitude. He only thought of him as his savior, and he didn't dare to call Huo Yuanqi his family.He has never had a family either, so he doesn't know what kind of warmth children from ordinary families enjoy, and so does Huo Yuanqi.
The two of them, one big and one small, have never enjoyed a family relationship, and when they are quiet, there is only endless loneliness and loneliness.Huo Yuanqi thought, Jiang Xin is still young, but he is an adult, and he has never felt the love of his family in the neighborhood or on the street.He was looking forward to being with Jiang Xin, the two of them didn't respect each other as guests, but felt each other with flesh and blood.
Just now, he was looking forward to Jiang Xin throwing off his hand and getting angry, looking forward to Jiang Xin saying that he hates it in a clear and clean voice, but Jiang Xin didn't.There was still gratitude in his eyes.
How can this be family?
Huo Yuanqi calmed down a little:
"It's okay Xinxin, let's go to school"
"it is good"
The principal is an intellectual woman. As soon as the door was opened, Huo Yuanqi was pulled in by her before she could tell the reason, and sat on the sofa in the office. Jiang Xin was a little embarrassed, and obediently stood by Huo Yuanqi's left hand side.
"Principal, I'm here today for my younger brother Jiang Xin. He is going to be 18 soon and has never been to high school. Can he come here directly for his sophomore year?" Huo Yuanqi himself knew that this request was unreasonable, but he Unable to watch Jiang Xin stay away from school, he rolled his wrist, and then spoke.
"Principal, I adopted Xinxin from the orphanage. He is very obedient and won't cause trouble. He went to school half and half before, but I can't watch him grow up like this."
The headmaster looked puzzled, she glanced at Jiang Xin, and said.
"It's not that I don't want to let it go. The main reason is that you lied too much. This kid can only see that he's 14 at most. You told me he's 18. How can I let him read?"
Seeing this, Huo Yuanji took out his certificate and showed it to the principal:
"Principal, I sent my child here to let him study hard. I won't gain anything by lying to you, and I also lost my brother's opportunity to study here for nothing, so I must not lie to you, you see"
The headmaster nodded when he saw the certificate.
"It's true that you are 18 years old, but you haven't been to high school before. Can the child keep up with the progress? Our school needs a higher education rate."
"Principal, you don't have to worry about this. Let him stay here for a month first. If he fails in the monthly exam a month later, we will leave without delaying you."
"this…"
"Principal, this child has suffered a lot before, and he never grew up healthy and happy like other children in his childhood, but he is now by my side. I want him to experience the path that every child has traveled in the future." Huo Yuan Qi Qi said to the principal while watching Jiang Xin touched his little ears.
"Well, let's not apply for the student status. We'll talk about it when he comes. If I don't do well in the monthly exam, then I really have nothing to do."
Huo Yuanqi breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, patted Jiang Xin, and gave him winks.
After Jiang Xin looked at it, he opened his mouth and said "Oh" silently, and walked gently to the principal.
"Principal, thank you, I will not let you down, I can enter the top 100, I promise."
Huo Yuanqi yelled in his heart that it was not good, is this kid short-hearted? How could he get in the top 100 as soon as he said it, and he didn't take the first-year course of high school, so how could he say such big words.
"Principal, this kid is joking! Then I will take Xinxin away first, and we will see you again when we report."
Before the principal could speak, seeing the principal's surprised face, Huo Yuanji murmured that it was not good, hurriedly said goodbye to the principal, and then walked out the door with Jiang Xin in great strides.
"Jiang Xin, I think you are stupid, right? Do you know how many people there are in the school? You can guarantee the top 100."
Before he got out of the school gate, Huo Yuanqi leaned over slightly on the main road, and poked Jiang Xin's forehead with his index finger, angry and helpless.
"Why not? Uncle, let me tell you, I'm really smart."
"Little ghost, does anyone still say that about yourself?"
"I'm not bragging about myself, I mean it"
Jiang Xin was a little cold, he sniffed his nose, and there was a white mist around his mouth.
"Okay, okay, I believe you." Huo Yuanji stood up, thinking in his heart, could it be because of this special function?Two people, one big and one small, walked side by side in the snow, leaving two large and small footprints.
The heating in the house was turned on very high, Jiang Xin kicked off his shoes as soon as he got home, put on the pullover pajamas and fluffy pajamas that Huo Yuanqi bought newly, and had fun in the house.
In fact, he is only 17 years old, just the age when he needs to act like a baby with his family and be full of youth.Huo Yuanqi liked to see Jiang Xin like this, at least he was much better than the day he just came to the house.Huo Yuanqi will always remember how he put on the cotton slippers carefully that day, and how he walked in tremblingly.
Were you scared when he came in?
Was he afraid that the man who brought him home was a villain?
Have you ever thought about forgetting, forgetting, running and forgetting?
But if he wasn't forced to such an extent that it was really hard to live, how could he run out of the yard where he had lived since he was a child?
It's death anyway, so it's better to take a gamble!
That courtyard is a cannibal.
Jiang Xin quarreled for a while, then came over to Huo Yuanqi's side in a sticky way, and the lights in the room were glowing with warm light.Jiang Xin sat on the chair, took off his cotton slippers, put his feet on the edge of the chair, and stared at Huo Yuanqi with his hands on his knees.
"Uncle, what are you doing?"
"what do you say"
Huo Yuanqi was holding the guitar in one hand, and writing and drawing on the paper with a pencil in the other. Jiang Xin didn't understand what those symbols were, some were long, some were round, what were they?
He thought for a long time but didn't have any idea, so he took his arms away from his legs and put them in his arms, his legs crossed in a lotus shape, thinking hard.
After a while, after Huo Yuanqi had just written a few sentences, Jiang Xin jumped off the chair and grabbed his arm, a little excited.
"Uncle, you are drawing... a bell! Isn't that right?"
In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and time goes by quickly. During the day, Huo Yuanji and Jiang Xin nestle at home and watch TV. Huo Yuanji likes American dramas, and Jiang Xin likes animations. They can be very happy just grabbing a remote control.In addition, whether Zhou Songyao came up to make jokes, or went downstairs to the supermarket to buy vegetables, or bought some cat food to feed the little wild cats on the side of the road while taking a walk, daily life was warm and warm.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and this is Jiang Xin's first year here.
On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, two people came back from the supermarket, with big and small bags on their backs, exhausted to death.Although Su An's temperature was extremely low, when he walked home, Jiang Xin's little nose was slightly sweaty.
"Uncle, can I have an ice cream? I'm so hot"
Huo Yuanqi was drinking from a water glass in his right hand, and Jiang Xin ran over and pulled his left sleeve and shook it.
No wonder you didn't drive out just now, and when you came back, you said you didn't want to take a taxi and insisted on walking back. Are you holding back your energy and waiting for me here?
"No, you ate two apples this morning, and you'll have diarrhea if you eat like this."
"But I'm hot and my nose is sweating."
Jiang Xin was very unreasonable, seeing that Huo Yuanqi was no match, he shook even more, pouted and acted like a baby.
"I'll just eat one, isn't it, half of it is okay? Please, uncle."
Huo Yuanqi pretended he couldn't see, and walked away with his legs. He pretended that Jiang Xin would let go when he ignored people, but he didn't expect that the child's hands would slap and fall to the ground before he could move them away.
"What's the matter, does it hurt?"
Huo Yuanji heard the noise, turned his head before he could wait a moment, and saw Jiang Xin holding his right foot and pouting aggrievedly.
"It's...not bad, it doesn't hurt very much."
Jiang Xin squeezed out an ugly smile, and covered his right foot with both hands.Said it didn't hurt, but the eye sockets were reddened, the ground is so hard, and the child has no defense, it must be very painful to fall suddenly.
"Take your hand away and let my brother see it"
Huo Yuanqi frowned, he was in a hurry, he didn't even know whether to rub his hair or touch his little ears.
"Hey, it's my brother's fault, let me take a look, it's too serious, let's go to the hospital"
Jiang Xin lowered his head in thought, and then slowly took his hand away. The wound was not very big, and the scratched skin was about the size of a quail egg. Although there was no bleeding, there was some slight oozing, and he didn't know what happened to the bone. Huo Yuanji was anxious and blamed himself.
"Go to the hospital, okay? My brother is with you"
"Uncle, did you forget? I'll be fine in an hour. I can't go to the hospital. It's time to scare the doctor." Jiang Xin grinned and wrinkled his nose in pain, while stroking Huo Yuanji's forearm with his small hands back and forth .
"Uncle, it really doesn't hurt."
Jiang Xin didn't change, it was still the same, Huo Yuanqi thought, he was still a little angry.
Huo Yuanqi put Jiang Xin's right arm on his shoulder, hugged his waist with one hand, and passed the other hand through the hollow of his leg. He picked up the child and put him on the sofa effortlessly. He wanted to get the medicine box for him. I dealt with it, but then I thought it was unnecessary, so I sat back on the sofa.He looked at Jiang Xin and asked him:
"Xinxin, are you angry?"
"angry?"
"Well, angry"
"No, why should I be angry?"
have to!It was the same rhetoric on the street before going to school that day. What does this kid think of himself?When I came back that day, I wanted to explain this matter clearly to him, but I forgot to make dumplings and buy a bed when I came back. After thinking about it, I just wanted to let him understand it, but the brat couldn't understand it.
"Xinxin, who am I?" Huo Yuanqi took Jiang Xin's Xiaoyuan's shoulders and made him face himself.
"What's the matter, uncle, have you lost your memory?" Jiang Xin stared at him with his eyes widened, his eyelashes flickering.
"..." Why is the child's focus so strange every time?
"Xinxin, I brought you back to prevent you from being hurt. I dote on you and like you. I treat you like a younger brother. What about you? Do you regard me as your own brother?"
Huo Yuanqi looked righteous, he sighed and shook his head.
"You don't, in your heart, I'm not your brother, I'm the one who rescued you from the orphanage. So you often tell yourself, don't be angry with me, and you have to listen to everything I say, because I am Benefactor. Is it?"
Jiang Xin was stunned, this was the first time Huo Yuanqi said such words to him, and his heart was sour.Could it be... Is it wrong for me to be obedient?He felt extremely wronged, and his eyes began to turn red again.
"Xinxin, I'm your elder brother. The two of us are connected on the same household registration booklet. You will live with me for the rest of your life. Aren't you going to be angry with me for the rest of your life?"
Hearing this, Jiang Xin was a little surprised, yes, I have to be obedient for the rest of my life.
"Okay uncle, I will always listen to what you say, and I will never be angry with you, okay? Don't scold me..."
Jiang Xin is like a ten-year-old child, with a simple mind, which makes people reluctant to scold, but also a little stupid.
I can't understand the words, and I still expect him to pass the 100th grade test, what's the dream?Huo Yuanqi clicked his tongue.
"Xinxin, brother doesn't mean that." After understanding the child's brain circuit, Huo Yuanqi was no longer obsessed with making him turn around by himself.
"My brother means that everything should be done according to your own ideas in the future, and you should be angry when you should be angry. For example, when you fell down just now, it was because I didn't pay attention. It was my brother who pulled you down, so you should be angry. I should be blamed for ignoring me. For another example, last time, on the way we went to school together, I made you nervous, I lied to you, teased you, it was my brother's fault, and you should be angry too. Do you understand? "
Jiang Xin was stunned, is...is that so?
Huo Yuanqi likes to sing, and also likes to write songs. Most of the songs he sang when he was resident were written by himself.He is very sunny, and his singing and notes contain tenacity and hope. He likes the whole hall full of longing.
"Why is this a bell?"
Huo Yuanqi felt completely out of reach, so he asked Jiang Xin at a loss.
"This is the bell, there is a small round bell underneath, and it is tied with a string"
Jiang Xin said that he had a nose and an eye. He stood barefoot on the white tiles. The floor was heated, making it very warm and comfortable.One hand was propped on the corner of the table, and the other was pointing at the arrangement Huo Yuanqi was writing.He didn't look like he was joking. Just now, he thought that he scratched his hair in a mess, and the fur was a bit messy, but he looked like a little lion.
Huo Yuanqi put down his pen with a smile, the boy was quite good at associating.
"This is not a bell, but a musical note. Xinxin, do you like singing?"
Huo Yuanqi got up, put the paper away, and put it in the bedroom together with the guitar.Jiang Xin pattered behind Huo Yuanqi's buttocks with bare feet, talking to himself while following him around.
"I like to listen, but I can't sing."
"Okay, just listen to it if you like, I will sing for you in the future"
"what?"
"What's the matter, I don't think I can sing."
"It's not..." Jiang Xin returned to the living room and sat down, tilting his head and supporting himself with his arms.
"This one can buy you roasted sweet potatoes so you can go to school."
Huo Yuanji came out of the bedroom and sat beside Jiang Xin.
"Xinxin, brother's job is to sing in the quiet bar"
It suddenly occurred to him that maybe Jiang Xin didn't know what being quiet was, maybe he didn't even know what it was to sing, so he changed his rhetoric.
"Just sing in one place and get paid."
"Then when are you going?"
"In the evening, pass by six o'clock in the evening, return at ten o'clock, why, are you afraid of being home alone?"
"I'm not afraid, but I want to follow you."
"Well... that's fine, then you can go over with me tonight to have a look, and you won't be allowed to go in the future."
"it is good"
There are quite a lot of people today, and they are sitting all over the place, but it is not crowded.Jiang Xin was pressed by Huo Yuanqi on the seat closest to the stage, and ordered a cup of warm milk.
"Don't run around, I can see you on stage"
Huo Yuanqi put the milk on the table while talking, Jiang Xin picked it up and licked it, sweet!Then he took a big gulp and swallowed it, with milk froth on his upper lip, and smiled at Huo Yuanqi.
"Okay uncle, I'm here to listen to your singing."
The stage was clean and simple, there was no band, only Huo Yuanqi was alone.
He is 23 years old, he is also young, and he has also experienced the precipitation of years and the pressure of life.He is soft and tough, and the songs he writes are mostly warm and kind.Every time it is his turn to take the stage, more people will come here.Life is full of dissatisfaction everywhere, only when listening to Huo Yuanji singing here, time seems to stop.
Jiang Xin sat under the stage, looking at Huo Yuanqi with a smile on his face, but thinking in his heart.
Following Huo Yuanqi back home for just two days, Huo Yuanqi coaxed him to sleep, cooked for him, brought him back from the orphanage, changed his identity, placed him in a school, bought him roasted sweet potatoes, touched He has hair and calls him Xinxin... Over the years, no one has ever spoken to him properly except the security grandfather of the orphanage, and no one has asked him, "Has Tongtong eaten? Did you sleep well? Do you want a drink? "Nobody even took his hand.
Jiang Xin is not stupid, he knows that Huo Yuanji treats him well, he has nothing to pay back, so he can only obediently let Huo Yuanji feel at ease.When he grows up, he will have the energy to give back.Nervously, he raised his arms and unzipped the zipper of the down jacket to his chest, for fear of spilling milk on the clothes.
"Xinxin, does brother sing well?" Huo Yuanqi stepped off the stage and asked Jiang Xin while sitting in front of him.
"It sounds good." Jiang Xinben was looking at the drink list when he saw Huo Yuanqi coming and stood up, ran to the opposite side and gave him a hug, full of the aroma of milk.
Jiang Xin's hair was limp, a little yellowish, and very thin. Huo Yuanji felt a little flustered in his arms. He was surprised that Jiang Xin was not a child who was good at expressing his feelings, so why did he suddenly rush over at this moment.
"What were you thinking just now, why did you suddenly hug me?"
He didn't ask until Jiang Xin let go of Huo Yuanji's neck.
"Also... nothing, just thank you and like you."
Huo Yuanqi is not a straight man, but he knows that Jiang Xin's liking here is pure, without any inappropriate emotions.He is flamboyant and youthful, like the rising sun just pulled out from the horizon, not particularly glaring, but pleasing to the eye.
"Okay, wait a long time, shall we go home?"
After hearing Jiang Xin's words, Huo Yuanqi didn't ask him what he liked about him, or why he said that suddenly. After Jiang Xin said it, he just answered yes.
At 46:23, the lights on the third floor of Building [-] of Qingqiangyuan came on.
The moon is huge, and after the snow melts, it will be a clear sky, and when night comes, the sky is full of stars.The air was cool, the street lights on the side of the road flickered on and off, and the security guards at the gate of the community were still drinking tea.The house is a bit old, but Huo Yuanji doesn't want to change it.
The two crowded each other to keep warm, Huo Yuanji liked it very much, and so did Jiang Xin.
Huo Yuanqi was an ordinary person, even more shabby.A room with two bedrooms and one living room, a second-hand car bought from a flea market, and a rich family. Although the car is a good car, it is depreciated after all.
Huo Yuanqi took Jiang Xin with his right hand and walked into the subway entrance, thinking carefully in his heart:
The room where the song was written was cleaned up and used as a bedroom for Xinxin. In the evening, I took out the quilt that I bought for the furniture before and made a living all night. I will buy a new one for him tomorrow. Remember to go to the school to register for him and find another job. Only then...
"Uncle, what are you thinking?"
Jiang Xin moved the hand that was held by Huo Yuanji. Huo Yuanji was born tall, but he was small, and the curls on the top of his head barely reached Huo Yuanqi's chest.Jiang Xin is very white, with thin yellow hair, and he is malnourished at first glance. Since then, he has to drink a glass of milk every day.

Huo Yuanqi smiled and said nothing, and took Jiang Xin to the subway.

Huo Yuanqi came to his mind and just wanted to tease him.
"It's great to go to school, you have a lot of friends, and the teacher will like you very much"
"Okay... okay, okay, but I haven't prepared anything yet"
"No need to prepare, just go directly to the classroom and sit down"
Huo Yuanji held back his mind and played tricks.

Huo Yuanqi patted Jiang Xin on the back.
"Here we go, get out of the car"
Jiang Xin was very flustered, and he walked out of the subway slowly, twisting and twisting his two little hands behind his back, and he couldn't hear the cries of the grandma selling roasted sweet potatoes beside him, Huo Yuanqi stopped for a while, but Jiang Xin didn't Seeing it, he walked forward in a self-conscious manner.

Huo Yuanqi watched him walk five or six meters away and yelled.

Jiang Xin lowered his head and secretly looked at it from the corner of his eye, then licked his lips quietly before speaking.

"Jiang Xin!"
In the past two days, Huo Yuanji had never called him Jiang Xin by his first and last name. Jiang Xin was a little timid, biting his lip and lowering his head.
"What... what's wrong, uncle"
Huo Yuanqi had a lot of clues in his heart. He wanted Jiang Xin to be like other children, who would get angry, ignore others, say hate him, and get angry with him.But Jiang Xin didn't. He had a pure mind and was full of gratitude.

I want him to experience the path that every child has traveled in the future." Huo Yuan Qi Qi said to the principal while watching Jiang Xin touched his little ears.
"Well, let's not apply for the student status. We'll talk about it when he comes. If I don't do well in the monthly exam, then I really have nothing to do."
Huo Yuanqi breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, patted Jiang Xin, and gave him winks.
After Jiang Xin looked at it, he opened his mouth and said "Oh" silently, and walked gently to the principal.
"Principal, thank you, I will not let you down, I can enter the top 100, I promise."
Huo Yuanqi yelled in his heart that it was not good, is this kid short-hearted? How could he get in the top 100 as soon as he said it, and he didn't take the first-year course of high school, so how could he say such big words.
"Principal, this kid is joking! Then I will take Xinxin away first, and we will see you again when we report."
Before the principal could speak, seeing the principal's surprised face, Huo Yuanji murmured that it was not good, hurriedly said goodbye to the principal, and then walked out the door with Jiang Xin in great strides.
"Jiang Xin, I think you are stupid, right? Do you know how many people there are in the school? You can guarantee the top 100."
Before he got out of the school gate, Huo Yuanqi leaned over slightly on the main road, and poked Jiang Xin's forehead with his index finger, angry and helpless.
"Why not? Uncle, let me tell you, I'm really smart."
"Little ghost, does anyone still say that about yourself?"
"I'm not bragging about myself, I mean it"
Jiang Xin was a little cold, he sniffed his nose, and there was a white mist around his mouth.
"Okay, okay, I believe you." Huo Yuanji stood up, thinking in his heart, could it be because of this special function?Two people, one big and one small, walked side by side in the snow, leaving two large and small footprints.
The heating in the house was turned on very high, Jiang Xin kicked off his shoes as soon as he got home, put on the pullover pajamas and fluffy pajamas that Huo Yuanqi bought newly, and had fun in the house.
In fact, he is only 17 years old, just the age when he needs to act like a baby with his family and be full of youth.Huo Yuanqi liked to see Jiang Xin like this, at least he was much better than the day he just came to the house.Huo Yuanqi will always remember how he put on the cotton slippers carefully that day, and how he walked in tremblingly.
Were you scared when he came in?
Was he afraid that the man who brought him home was a villain?
Have you ever thought about forgetting, forgetting, running and forgetting?
But if he wasn't forced to such an extent that it was really hard to live, how could he run out of the yard where he had lived since he was a child?
It's death anyway, so it's better to take a gamble!
That courtyard is a cannibal.
Jiang Xin quarreled for a while, then came over to Huo Yuanqi's side in a sticky way, and the lights in the room were glowing with warm light.Jiang Xin sat on the chair, took off his cotton slippers, put his feet on the edge of the chair, and stared at Huo Yuanqi with his hands on his knees.
"Uncle, what are you doing?"
"what do you say"
Huo Yuanqi was holding the guitar in one hand, and writing and drawing on the paper with a pencil in the other. Jiang Xin didn't understand what those symbols were, some were long, some were round, what were they?
He thought for a long time but didn't have any idea, so he took his arms away from his legs and put them in his arms, his legs crossed in a lotus shape, thinking hard.
After a while, after Huo Yuanqi had just written a few sentences, Jiang Xin jumped off the chair and grabbed his arm, a little excited.
"Uncle, you are drawing... a bell! Isn't that right?"
In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and time goes by quickly. During the day, Huo Yuanji and Jiang Xin nestle at home and watch TV. Huo Yuanji likes American dramas, and Jiang Xin likes animations. They can be very happy just grabbing a remote control.In addition, whether Zhou Songyao came up to make jokes, or went downstairs to the supermarket to buy vegetables, or bought some cat food to feed the little wild cats on the side of the road while taking a walk, daily life was warm and warm.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and this is Jiang Xin's first year here.
On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, two people came back from the supermarket, with big and small bags on their backs, exhausted to death.Although Su An's temperature was extremely low, when he walked home, Jiang Xin's little nose was slightly sweaty.
"Uncle, can I have an ice cream? I'm so hot"
Huo Yuanqi was drinking from a water glass in his right hand, and Jiang Xin ran over and pulled his left sleeve and shook it.
No wonder you didn't drive out just now, and when you came back, you said you didn't want to take a taxi and insisted on walking back. Are you holding back your energy and waiting for me here?
"No, you ate two apples this morning, and you'll have diarrhea if you eat like this."
"But I'm hot and my nose is sweating."
Jiang Xin was very unreasonable, seeing that Huo Yuanqi was no match, he shook even more, pouted and acted like a baby.
"I'll just eat one, isn't it, half of it is okay? Please, uncle."
Huo Yuanqi pretended he couldn't see, and walked away with his legs. He pretended that Jiang Xin would let go when he ignored people, but he didn't expect that the child's hands would slap and fall to the ground before he could move them away.
"What's the matter, does it hurt?"
Huo Yuanji heard the noise, turned his head before he could wait a moment, and saw Jiang Xin holding his right foot and pouting aggrievedly.
"It's...not bad, it doesn't hurt very much."
Jiang Xin squeezed out an ugly smile, and covered his right foot with both hands.Said it didn't hurt, but the eye sockets were reddened, the ground is so hard, and the child has no defense, it must be very painful to fall suddenly.
"Take your hand away and let my brother see it"
Huo Yuanqi frowned, he was in a hurry, he didn't even know whether to rub his hair or touch his little ears.
"Hey, it's my brother's fault, let me take a look, it's too serious, let's go to the hospital"
Jiang Xin lowered his head in thought, and then slowly took his hand away. The wound was not very big, and the scratched skin was about the size of a quail egg. Although there was no bleeding, there was some slight oozing, and he didn't know what happened to the bone. Huo Yuanji was anxious and blamed himself.
"Go to the hospital, okay? My brother is with you"
"Uncle, did you forget? I'll be fine in an hour. I can't go to the hospital. It's time to scare the doctor." Jiang Xin grinned and wrinkled his nose in pain, while stroking Huo Yuanji's forearm with his small hands back and forth .
"Uncle, it really doesn't hurt."
Jiang Xin didn't change, it was still the same, Huo Yuanqi thought, he was still a little angry.
Huo Yuanqi put Jiang Xin's right arm on his shoulder, hugged his waist with one hand, and passed the other hand through the hollow of his leg. He picked up the child and put him on the sofa effortlessly. He wanted to get the medicine box for him. I dealt with it, but then I thought it was unnecessary, so I sat back on the sofa.He looked at Jiang Xin and asked him:
"Xinxin, are you angry?"
"angry?"
"Well, angry"
"No, why should I be angry?"
have to!It was the same rhetoric on the street before going to school that day. What does this kid think of himself?When I came back that day, I wanted to explain this matter clearly to him, but I forgot to make dumplings and buy a bed when I came back. After thinking about it, I just wanted to let him understand it, but the brat couldn't understand it.
"Xinxin, who am I?" Huo Yuanqi took Jiang Xin's Xiaoyuan's shoulders and made him face himself.
"What's the matter, uncle, have you lost your memory?" Jiang Xin stared at him with his eyes widened, his eyelashes flickering.
"..." Why is the child's focus so strange every time?
"Xinxin, I brought you back to prevent you from being hurt. I dote on you and like you. I treat you like a younger brother. What about you? Do you regard me as your own brother?"
Huo Yuanqi looked righteous, he sighed and shook his head.
"You don't, in your heart, I'm not your brother, I'm the one who rescued you from the orphanage. So you often tell yourself, don't be angry with me, and you have to listen to everything I say, because I am Benefactor. Is it?"
Jiang Xin was stunned, this was the first time Huo Yuanqi said such words to him, and his heart was sour.Could it be... Is it wrong for me to be obedient?He felt extremely wronged, and his eyes began to turn red again.
"Xinxin, I'm your elder brother. The two of us are connected on the same household registration booklet. You will live with me for the rest of your life. Aren't you going to be angry with me for the rest of your life?"
Hearing this, Jiang Xin was a little surprised, yes, I have to be obedient for the rest of my life.
"Okay uncle, I will always listen to what you say, and I will never be angry with you, okay? Don't scold me..."
Jiang Xin is like a ten-year-old child, with a simple mind, which makes people reluctant to scold, but also a little stupid.
I can't understand the words, and I still expect him to pass the 100th grade test, what's the dream?Huo Yuanqi clicked his tongue.
"Xinxin, brother doesn't mean that." After understanding the child's brain circuit, Huo Yuanqi was no longer obsessed with making him turn around by himself.
"My brother means that everything should be done according to your own ideas in the future, and you should be angry when you should be angry. For example, when you fell down just now, it was because I didn't pay attention. It was my brother who pulled you down, so you should be angry. I should be blamed for ignoring me. For another example, last time, on the way we went to school together, I made you nervous, I lied to you, teased you, it was my brother's fault, and you should be angry too. Do you understand? "
Jiang Xin was stunned, is...is that so?
Huo Yuanqi likes to sing, and also likes to write songs. Most of the songs he sang when he was resident were written by himself.He is very sunny, and his singing and notes contain tenacity and hope. He likes the whole hall full of longing.
"Why is this a bell?"
Huo Yuanqi felt completely out of reach, so he asked Jiang Xin at a loss.
"This is the bell, there is a small round bell underneath, and it is tied with a string"
Jiang Xin said that he had a nose and an eye. He stood barefoot on the white tiles. The floor was heated, making it very warm and comfortable.One hand was propped on the corner of the table, and the other was pointing at the arrangement Huo Yuanqi was writing.He didn't look like he was joking. Just now, he thought that he scratched his hair in a mess, and the fur was a bit messy, but he looked like a little lion.
Huo Yuanqi put down his pen with a smile, the boy was quite good at associating.
"This is not a bell, but a musical note. Xinxin, do you like singing?"
Huo Yuanqi got up, put the paper away, and put it in the bedroom together with the guitar.Jiang Xin pattered behind Huo Yuanqi's buttocks with bare feet, talking to himself while following him around.
"I like to listen, but I can't sing."
"Okay, just listen to it if you like, I will sing for you in the future"
"what?"
"What's the matter, I don't think I can sing."
"It's not..." Jiang Xin returned to the living room and sat down, tilting his head and supporting himself with his arms.
"This one can buy you roasted sweet potatoes so you can go to school."
Huo Yuanji came out of the bedroom and sat beside Jiang Xin.
"Xinxin, brother's job is to sing in the quiet bar"
It suddenly occurred to him that maybe Jiang Xin didn't know what being quiet was, maybe he didn't even know what it was to sing, so he changed his rhetoric.
"Just sing in one place and get paid."
"Then when are you going?"
"In the evening, pass by six o'clock in the evening, return at ten o'clock, why, are you afraid of being home alone?"
"I'm not afraid, but I want to follow you."
"Well... that's fine, then you can go over with me tonight to have a look, and you won't be allowed to go in the future."
"it is good"
There are quite a lot of people today, and they are sitting all over the place, but it is not crowded.Jiang Xin was pressed by Huo Yuanqi on the seat closest to the stage, and ordered a cup of warm milk.
"Don't run around, I can see you on stage"
Huo Yuanqi put the milk on the table while talking, Jiang Xin picked it up and licked it, sweet!Then he took a big gulp and swallowed it, with milk froth on his upper lip, and smiled at Huo Yuanqi.
"Okay uncle, I'm here to listen to your singing."
The stage was clean and simple, there was no band, only Huo Yuanqi was alone.
He is 23 years old, he is also young, and he has also experienced the precipitation of years and the pressure of life.He is soft and tough, and the songs he writes are mostly warm and kind.Every time it is his turn to take the stage, more people will come here.Life is full of dissatisfaction everywhere, only when listening to Huo Yuanji singing here, time seems to stop.
Jiang Xin sat under the stage, looking at Huo Yuanqi with a smile on his face, but thinking in his heart.
Following Huo Yuanqi back home for just two days, Huo Yuanqi coaxed him to sleep, cooked for him, brought him back from the orphanage, changed his identity, placed him in a school, bought him roasted sweet potatoes, touched He has hair and calls him Xinxin... Over the years, no one has ever spoken to him properly except the security grandfather of the orphanage, and no one has asked him, "Has Tongtong eaten? Did you sleep well? Do you want a drink? "Nobody even took his hand.
Jiang Xin is not stupid, he knows that Huo Yuanji treats him well, he has nothing to pay back, so he can only obediently let Huo Yuanji feel at ease.When he grows up, he will have the energy to give back.Nervously, he raised his arms and unzipped the zipper of the down jacket to his chest, for fear of spilling milk on the clothes.
"Xinxin, does brother sing well?" Huo Yuanqi stepped off the stage and asked Jiang Xin while sitting in front of him.
"It sounds good." Jiang Xinben was looking at the drink list when he saw Huo Yuanqi coming and stood up, ran to the opposite side and gave him a hug, full of the aroma of milk.
Jiang Xin's hair was limp, a little yellowish, and very thin. Huo Yuanji felt a little flustered in his arms. He was surprised that Jiang Xin was not a child who was good at expressing his feelings, so why did he suddenly rush over at this moment.
"What were you thinking just now, why did you suddenly hug me?"
He didn't ask until Jiang Xin let go of Huo Yuanji's neck.
"Also... nothing, just thank you and like you."
Huo Yuanqi is not a straight man, but he knows that Jiang Xin's liking here is pure, without any inappropriate emotions.He is flamboyant and youthful, like the rising sun just pulled out from the horizon, not particularly glaring, but pleasing to the eye.
"Okay, wait a long time, shall we go home?"
After hearing Jiang Xin's words, Huo Yuanqi didn't ask him what he liked about him, or why he said that suddenly. After Jiang Xin said it, he just answered yes.
At 46:23, the lights on the third floor of Building [-] of Qingqiangyuan came on.
The moon is huge, and after the snow melts, it will be a clear sky, and when night comes, the sky is full of stars.The air was cool, the street lights on the side of the road flickered on and off, and the security guards at the gate of the community were still drinking tea.The house is a bit old, but Huo Yuanji doesn't want to change it.
The two crowded each other to keep warm, Huo Yuanji liked it very much, and so did Jiang Xin.
