Chapter 34(1/2)

Where did a fourteen-year-old boy get so much money? Two hundred and three thousand, not twenty-three yuan! Did they hear it wrong?!

Dad Tan and Mom Tan were the most shocked. They worked hard for more than 20 years. The couple spent a lot of money together and saved only more than 600,000 yuan. The child handed out a card for 230,000 yuan! This is a rich man!

Not to mention that Wu Nian is not yet adult, there will be no place to recruit child labor. Even if he is adult, he will not be able to make so much easily. Dad Tan looked at Wu Nian and his eyes fell on his finger holding the spoon. There were still traces of bruises on the finger, which looked fierce and eye-catching...

Dad Tan suddenly thought of something, and his heart suddenly felt a little slap. He was afraid that Mother Tan would not agree, so he never showed Wu Nian's previous experience information to Mother Tan.

But what can I do to make so much money? For example, the ones written in the Wunian Welfare Home, collecting protection fees, fighting, stealing?! In short, it is not money earned through normal channels. By abiding by laws and regulations, you can't make so much money.

These words penetrated into my mind, and Dad Tan suddenly felt a little restless.

No, Xiao Nian has always been very well-behaved since she came to her home. Even if she knew those bad boys who grew up in stinky ditches, she would definitely be forced and damaged... Now that she has come to her own home, as long as she trains him well and corrects his bad habits, he will definitely not go astray again.

...Dad Tan comforted himself while feeling complicated and pushed the card back: "Since you saved this, you can keep it. The tuition and living expenses are not too much to afford."

Wu Nian seemed to know what he was thinking, looked down at the card that was pushed back, then raised her clear eyes, looked at Dad Tan, and said in a somewhat lost tone: "Uncle, this is just the pension I snatched back from my uncle later, not the money I got with other abnormal means..."

Dad Tan suddenly felt a little embarrassed, thinking that he was too worried, so he hurriedly said, "I know."

"Then accept it." Wu Nian looked at him: "You must know the kindness of raising people. I am already grateful that uncles, aunts and sisters can bring me back. If I eat and drink for free, I will be very sorry."

The boy's eyes were clear and his tone was sincere, and he told Dad Tan's heart to soften. He glanced at Mother Tan, who was still shocked, and looked at the card in his hand. After he hesitating, he took it over and said to Wu Nian: "Then, Uncle, please keep this money for you first. In addition to paying your tuition, you don't need it. You need money at any time and ask for it at any time. You have as much pocket money as Mingming, and you will also have New Year's money during the New Year."

"New Year's money..." Wu Nian murmured. I don't know if it was because of the lights, but his eyes looked a little wet. After a while, he seemed to burst into tears and smiled: "Okay."

After so many years, he has never received New Year's money.

Every year from the end of the year, the ice and snow are broken, firecrackers are heard everywhere, and the streets are lively. There are red Spring Festival couplets in front of every house. My father brings a ladder, the child carries paste, and the mother holds the ladder and starts pasting couplets.

After posting the couplet, every household will fire the first shot of the New Year. In this hustle and bustle, worship the Bodhisattva and make wishes for smooth and peace every year.

Every year at the end of the year, Wu Nian didn't know where to go, so she could only wander aimlessly on the street and watch the lights of thousands of houses light up.

But without his family, no one would sincerely wish him peace and health - so, is this the reason why he never went well?

He never dared to think about New Year's money. He knew that he had wrapped a hundred-dollar banknote with a red envelope and placed it quietly under his family's pillow. One year he bought himself a few golden red envelopes, stuffed several hundred-dollar bills into it in one breath, and then stuffed them under the pillow to sleep.

But he was still unhappy.

When I woke up, I still felt empty when I heard the firecrackers outside that had nothing to do with me.

But this year.

Can he expect to receive real New Year’s money from his family?

So, let him spend the New Year at this home. In that case, when making a wish at the end of the year, he will make a promise and let him spend another year at this home.

...

After dinner, Wu Nian stood up naturally and wanted to clean up the dishes. He bought the dishes and made the rice. How could he still wash the dishes now?

Tan Mingming had enough food and drink, collapsed on the chair, feeling that he was suddenly highlighted by the boy and became a borer at home. At that time, he might be driven out and turned into himself! She was startled, stood up quickly, rolled up her sleeves, and hurriedly said, "You go watch TV, I'll do it."

"What's so good about TV?" Wu Nian bent her lips and said, "I want to help my sister wash dishes, can I wash them together?"

He was quick-handed and snatched the two soup bowls with the heaviest oil from Tan Mingming. He folded several plates and bowls thickly on them, and the table suddenly became empty.

Tan Mingming's subordinates were suddenly empty: "..." What else did she take?! It's rare that she was diligent once, but she had no place to use her skills?!

"Sister, you helped me collect the chopsticks on the table." Wu Nian said innocently: "I can't take it."

Unable to get a big asshole, Tan Mingming glanced at the stacked plates he was holding steadily, and felt deeply saddened. He was afraid that his mother would not accept him entering the house just now, but now compared with this child - he cooked so deliciously and took the initiative to rush to wash dishes, but he only knew how to scramble tomatoes and it took a whim to wash dishes. He only took the whim once a month - he was useless, was he supposed to worry about?!

Mother Tan also glared at Tan Mingming and said, "Tan Mingming, look at her Xiao Nian!"

...Tan Mingming was not upright and picked up the chopsticks in shame and followed Wu Nian into the kitchen.

Wu Nian had already put a pool of warm water and put on gloves. Tan Mingming walked to him and picked up another pair of gloves to put them on. Since he said that he wanted to wash dishes, he had to at least do it. He couldn't seem too embarrassing in front of his hardworking brother.

But she had water on her hands and couldn't get into the gloves at once. With a "slip-" sound, her fingers were only half poked in.

Wu Nian turned her head to look at her, smiled, reached out to help her take off her disposable gloves, then blew her breath into both gloves, swelled the transparent gloves, and took a clean towel to wrap her fingers, and wiped them gently.

Then, he put the gloves on her fingers, and the swelling gloves were easily put into Tan Mingming's dry fingers.

...Tan Mingming was really stunned.

Whether it was her previous life or after she was wearing it, her family was very harmonious. Her parents pampered her and she rarely went into the kitchen, let alone such small living skills. If she couldn't wear gloves, she would always be forced into it...

"Why are you so good?" she couldn't help asking, so she immersed her hands in water and started washing dishes.

Wu Nian smiled and didn't answer. To survive, of course, you have to know a little bit of everything.

He listened to the sound of water and raised his head. The warm yellow lights in the kitchen shone the shadows of him and Tan Mingming on the white ceramic tiles. The two were very close. Tan Mingming lowered his head, looking like a sibling who was shoulder to shoulder.

Wu Nian blinked and raised her lips.

...It looks very warm, as if I can continue like this.

...

At the same time, Tan's mother couldn't help but pull Dad Tan into the room and said suspiciously: "Twenty-three million, where did Xiaonian's money come from? The pensions ten or ten thousand years ago could not have been so much. At that time, 10,000 or 20,000 was a shocking number. Tell me, where did his money come from?"

Seeing that he could not hide it, Dad Tan had to go as far as possible and talk about Wu Nian's previous experience. However, when Mother Tan listened, her brows became tighter and tighter. She really sympathized with the child's experience, but while sympathizing, she couldn't help but feel frightened.

"What if, I mean," Tan's mother said with concern: "What if he continues to do bad things in the future? You didn't say that the reason why the second family who adopted him gave up on adopting him was that he stole it?"

Dad Tan was anxious and hurriedly said, "That's a big deal, look at Xiao Nian, who is clean, seems to be someone who can steal things? I feel that he was wronged!"

...Yes, the child looked so well-behaved, and didn't look like a very vicious person.

If Dad Tan didn't tell her about Wu Nian's previous experience, she would never have thought that Wu Nian had entered the juvenile stewardship several times before. Who was the one who entered the juvenile stewardship, the person who was bleeding from his head.

But now that she knew, the Libra in her heart began to sway again.

"Don't be anxious first." Mother Tan looked at Dad Tan who was anxious, afraid that he would drive Wu Nian out, frowned and said, "Once we adopt him, we have to take responsibility for him. This is not a trivial matter, but a big matter related to how to be a parent. You think too easily. We have raised her since childhood to ensure that she is optimistic and kind, but Xiao Nian came to our house halfway. What if we don't have enough ability and finally let him go astray?"

Seeing that Tan's mother was worried, thinking of the hot Wu Nian's past experience, Dad Tan also knew that what his wife said was still reasonable. He couldn't help but sigh: "What do you think you should do?"

"Let's observe for a while." Mother Tan actually felt helpless and softened... Maybe no one could be softened by such a child with a dark hair and a well-behaved smile... But she was afraid that once adopted, she would face many problems.

She said: "Let him stay at home first, we will take good care of him. In two months, he will be able to integrate into this home and we will go through the adoption procedures."

Seeing that Mom Tan's tone seemed a little soft, Dad Tan hurriedly said happily: "Okay, OK."

——Mom Tan has always been a very stubborn and strong person, and her decision will not change easily. Now, it is not easy for her to accept a completely unfamiliar child.

...

But soon, Tan's mother discovered that things were not that simple.

...

After talking to her father Tan, she opened the door and went out worriedly. Tan Mingming was wearing a down jacket at the entrance and talking to Wu Nian with a smile. She wanted to take Wu Nian to a large supermarket farther away to buy daily necessities.

In the past two days, some of Wu Nian's bed sheets and slippers are all used by Dad Tan. It's really inconvenient if he doesn't have his own ones.

Since you have moved in, you need to buy a complete set of daily necessities.

...In addition, the weather is cold, Tan Mingming feels that he needs thermos, baby warming, scarves, gloves and some clothes, which is convenient for the third year of junior high school to report in a few days. The boy is always dressed thinly, and in the cold wind, just watching makes people tremble.

Mother Tan learned about the child’s past experience. Seeing him standing next to Mingming with a smile, she looked down from time to time and listened to what Mingming said. Her ears were slightly red, and she squatted down with a gentle smile to tie her shoelaces... It was clearly a warm scene between the two brothers and sisters, but for some reason, she was a little...

...I couldn't help but frown.

Such a well-behaved boy has been involved in the junior management office more than once, but why can't he see the anger at all? It shouldn't be like this. Even if the child is a little cold and introverted now, she feels more reasonable, but this child is so gentle and well-behaved, which makes her feel indescribable.

However, no matter what, he is really good at Mingming, so there should be no major problems when going out to buy daily necessities.

So, Mother Tan couldn't help but reminded: "Come back early, I won't come back within half an hour. I'll call you."

"I understand." Tan Mingming said with a smile. She likes to visit supermarkets the most. If it weren't for Wu Nian, she wouldn't have gone out to visit supermarkets. Just so happened that she would buy some raisins and the likes it likes to eat when she went out. It was strange to say that this dog doesn't like eating dog snacks, but she likes to eat things that people eat. Every time she watches TV and eats snacks, it will compete with itself.

...It seems a little unhappy today. I guess it is a new member who has come to my family. It is not adaptable and has a stress response...

So, Tan Mingming thought quietly with a little distressed feeling, buying some snacks to make the dog happy.

She grabbed her pocket money, pulled Wu Nian's sleeve, and hurried out.

After the siblings went out, Tan's mother looked back. After just after dinner, she planned to go downstairs to dance a square dance, but after searching in the living room, she couldn't find the puppy. Hey, has the puppy not appeared for a long time today? What's going on? Are you sick?

Mother Tan was a little worried and started looking around, calling the name "One Million", but the dog didn't respond. She looked around, bent down, and found the dog under the bed in Tan Mingming's bedroom, so she struggled to carry the dog out.

Can……

The dog, who has always been lively and has a bit of a temper, seems to have suffered some psychological trauma today. His two plush front paws covered his eyes without saying a word, just like he was injured. Mother Tan tried to lift its paws from his eyes, but even saw the dog look at him with injuries.

...Although there was no tears in my eyes, that glance clearly contained a point of accusation, three points of aggrievance, and six points of aggrievance, but I wanted to say it but I was about to stop!

...Not to mention why dogs have so many emotions, is it their own hallucinations, but-

What's going on? Are you feeling uncomfortable?! Mother Tan suddenly became anxious.

You know, since she became the most dazzling aunt among the square dance aunties that day, she began to regard this puppy as a lucky baby. If the puppy gets sick, she will be more anxious than anyone else!

But she looked at the dog around, but didn't notice anything uncomfortable. Her nose was normal and moist, and her eyes and ears were all normal. So what was wrong? I was just feeling depressed?

Didn’t Xiaonian take him down to walk his dog all day today? He was bored?

Mother Tan couldn't help but complain to Xiao Nian. Before leaving, she clearly agreed to walk the dog obediently, but why didn't she walk it in the end, and instead made the dog so unhappy.

Mother Tan planned to carry it down. When she saw the aunts, she might leave the house and let the wind go, and it would be in a better mood. So Mother Tan took a scarf of Tan Mingming to wrap it up for the dog and left the house.

After going downstairs and going to the garden, he was soon surrounded by a group of aunts. If it were usual, these aunts wanted to touch the puppy, and the puppy would refuse to be touched with great resistance. But today, it was always lying in Tan's arms with a depressed expression. Even if it came down to touch the fresh air outside, it did not open its eyes, as if it was very sad.
To be continued...
