Nie Wenyuan’s tone remained unchanged, with a serious face, “Hold on.”

Huang Dan’s body trembled, “It hurts too much.”

Nie Wenyuan lowered his eyelids and kept moving his hands. He was like a strict father teaching his son who lacked common sense, “Don’t use any strength, the injury on your shoulder will be fine.”

Huang Dan grabbed the man’s hand, and there was an obvious cry in his voice, “Forget it, Jiujiu, please leave me alone.”

Nie Wenyuan looked at the hand holding him, his brows furrowed slightly, “Crying again.”

Huang Dan let go of the man’s hand, he didn’t turn around, his back was still facing the man, his shoulders trembled slightly, “I’m really afraid of pain.”

Nie Wenyuan held the young man’s shoulders and pulled him over. As expected, he saw a face full of tears, “When did you get this problem?”

Huang Dan was in severe pain, but he didn’t forget to correct it seriously, “It’s not a problem.”

Nie Wenyuan’s brows all knitted together, “Crying like this just after applying medicinal wine.”

Huang Dan suppressed his sobs, “I’m just afraid of pain.”

The room was filled with the smell of medicinal wine, which was a bit pungent. Jiujiu and nephew went around and around, still spinning in place, without taking a step.

Afraid of pain, how afraid? Only the person involved knows that unless the pain he feels is calculated using data and a machine with the same data is created so that someone can experience it, outsiders will never be able to feel it.

There is still a bias in the word empathy.

A part of the blue shirt of Huang Dan was wet from crying. The color of that piece was dark and conspicuous, and it was still gradually spreading.

Nie Wenyuan nodded, “Go and wash your face.”

Huang Dan wiped the tears rolling down his chin and shook his head, “Wait a while and wash it when it doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Otherwise, it would be all in vain, and he knew that.

Nie Wenyuan looked at his little nephew, and finally showed a strange expression as if it was the first time he saw him, but it disappeared in an instant. He was addicted to cigarettes, and he didn’t put it in his pocket, leaving it in the study.

“Why did you do that at that time?”

Nie Wenyuan asked this question very abruptly, without beginning or end, which made people wonder what it meant.

Huang Dan understood it immediately. He wiped his face with his hands, “I didn’t think about anything at the time.”

This man would not believe it, Huang Dan knew, he was waiting for the other party’s next evaluation and judgment on him.

Nie Wenyuan’s eyes closed, “Did you make that move at that time to impress your Jiujiu and arrange for you to enter the New Century Project?”

Huang Dan raised his head abruptly.

Nie Wenyuan was looked at by his little nephew with tearful eyes, and his heart twitched slightly, it was so fast that it disappeared without a trace before he could catch it, “If Jiujiu is wrong, you can overthrow it.”

Huang Dan’s eyelids trembled slightly, tears rolled down his cheeks one by one, he cried silently, without saying a word.

Nie Wenyuan didn’t open his mouth either, the wrinkles between his brows got deeper and deeper, and the shadows became heavier and heavier, which made the righteousness between his brows and eyes fade a lot, and there was a hint of irritability that is eager to replace it.

There was a wisp of vegetable fragrance squeezed in through the crack of the door. It came by itself, and dragged the smell of oil smoke. As soon as it came in, it rushed towards Jiu and nephew by the bed recklessly.

The pain in Huang Dan’s shoulder slowly eased. He got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face and return to his room.

Nie Wenyuan was still sitting in the original position, covering the lid of the medicinal wine, and said without raising his eyelids, “Don’t sleep on your shoulder injury.”

Huang Dan said, “I know.”

Nie Wenyuan didn’t mention that matter again, he took the medicinal wine in his hand, “Come to Jiujiu tomorrow, and I will rub the medicinal wine on you.”

Huang Dan’s eyes were red, as was his nose. He opened his mouth and his voice was hoarse, “No, Jiujiu, please give me the medicinal wine, and I will do it myself.”

Nie Wenyuan said, “It’s up to you.”

He handed over the medicinal wine in his hand, “Don’t provoke Xiaowei in the future.”

Huang Dan caught the medicinal wine, rubbed the bottle with his fingertips, and said warmly, “Got it.”

Grandma Wu’s voice came from outside, shouting that the meal was ready and asking them to come out for lunch.

The fish caught in the morning were three big ones, all braised, divided into three plates, and placed in three different positions. One plate was facing Nie Wenyuan, one was facing Nie Xiuqin, and the other was facing Grandma Wu, skipping Huang Dan.

Huang Dan didn’t show any dissatisfaction. He lowered his eyes to pick up the white rice, and stretched his chopsticks into the plate in front of Nie Wenyuan. Anyway, all his favorite food was here.

Grandma Wu saw that he was so impolite, so she coughed, “Xiao Yu, don’t you like lentils?”

In front of Huang Dan was a plate of fried lentils, chopped into small pieces, with shredded red peppers in it, green and red, it looked appetizing, but he didn’t like lentils, “Well, I don’t like it.”

Grandma Wu said angrily, “How can you be such a picky eater? Come on, eat some lentils.”

As she spoke, she used her chopsticks to pick up lentils for the young man.

There was a chopstick of lentils in Huang Dan’s bowl, but he didn’t put them on the table in front of everyone, embarrassing Grandma Wu, and didn’t eat them, just left them there.

Even so, Grandma Wu was still unhappy, and she started nagging again, “There are only a handful of lentils picked from the ridge of the field a few days ago, what a good thing, and now I can’t eat anything, and it’s all washed away by the water.”

Nie Xiuqin sighed sadly, “The flood will not recede for a day, and it will be inconvenient to go out.”

Grandma Wu didn’t want to talk about the flood at all, she wanted to talk about the bad manners of the brat, but unfortunately no one spoke to her, so she had to sulk and eat.

The table became quiet, except for Grandma Wu, who was eating the food with her mouth closed and making a squeaking sound. She had a habit of picking the food on the plate with her chopsticks, which she did every time.

The older generation came from poverty. Grandma Wu only ate vegetarian dishes, either eggplants or cucumbers. Occasionally she would pick up a few radishes she had pickled herself. They were not crispy and were very soft.

Nie Xiuqin smelled the medicinal wine and said, “Xiao Yu, is your shoulder okay?”

Huang Dan said it was all right.

Nie Xiuqin’s sigh was drowned in the bowl.

Nie Wenyuan eats very quickly. He holds a rice bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other. From time to time he picks up vegetables and cooks rice without saying a word. Usually he eats his favorite dishes alone, and there will be a lot leftover. Now that there are more people, and there was almost no food left on the plate.

Huang Dan picked up the two potato slices stuck to the edge of the plate and ate them, then picked up one of the plates in front of Nie Wenyuan, poured the vegetable soup on top of the rice in his bowl, and lowered his head to scoop it into his mouth.

Nie Xiuqin’s eyes were filled with surprise, “Xiao Yu, Auntie remembers that you used to hate potatoes. Not only did you pick them all out and throw them away, but you also kept a straight face and refused to let others eat them. You said you would not be nice to anyone who ate potatoes.”

Huang Dan’s voice was vague, “The taste has changed.”

Nie Xiuqin chuckled, “Things have changed for the better. Picky eating affects your body. You should eat more other dishes to achieve balanced nutrition.”

Grandma Wu understood a little bit, “He doesn’t even eat lentils, it’s strange that he can have a balance.”

Huang Dan knew that the old lady really didn’t want him to eat Nie Wenyuan’s favorite dishes. She always felt that they were prepared for Nie Wenyuan and others could not touch them.

He chewed slowly, finished the soup and rice in his mouth, and then ate fish.

Nie Wenyuan had a plate of fish left over there, but only the meat on the belly of the fish was missing. A small half was in his belly, and most of the rest was eaten by his nephew.

Grandma Wu put her chopsticks on the mouth of the bowl and took the rag next to her with withered hands and wiped the table, “I won’t cook fish tonight. If you eat two meals in a row, you will easily get internal heat.”

She picked up the plate in front of Nie Wenyuan, ” This fish hasn’t eaten much, so Xiao Yu, you can eat it tonight.”

Huang Dan said, “I don’t eat fish backs, there are many spines and they will get stuck.”

Grandma Wu glared at him, feeling that he was picky, she didn’t say the bad words, and changed to something else, “Isn’t there a fish tail?”

Huang Dan said that he doesn’t eat the tail either, “I only eat the belly of the fish.”

Grandma Wu had age spots on her face. When she smiled, a bunch of wrinkles formed on her face, and the age spots were also crowded together. “That’s a coincidence, you and your Jiujiu have the same taste.”

Nie Xiuqin nodded in agreement, and said yes, “It’s good Xiao Yu. You used to be very picky about eating before, but now it’s really good.”

Nie Wenyuan remained expressionless.

When clearing the dining table, Grandma Wu’s face was so long that she almost caught up with the donkey.

Nie Wenyuan was going to the embankment in the afternoon to see the situation of the blockage, accompanied by several big figures from T city, all of whom had donated more than 100,000 yuan.

Huang Dan heard Nie Wenyuan calling and knew what was going on, so he said he wanted to go too.

Nie Wenyuan took off his watch and threw it on the table, “Don’t make any trouble.”

Huang Dan said, “I’m going to see the People’s Liberation Army.”

Nie Wenyuan rolled up his cuffs, smoothed out the tiny wrinkles, “You can watch it on TV.”

Huang Dan said, “It’s different, Jiujiu, I won’t make trouble for you, I will be very good.”

Hearing this, Nie Wenyuan turned his head to look at his nephew. The other party’s face was full of seriousness, without the slightest sign of joking. He looked away, buttoned the top button of his shirt, and stretched out his hand to straighten the neckline. “You can go, but don’t run around.”

Huang Dan couldn’t see the man’s Adam’s apple, which was covered by his collar, “Okay.”

He asked in the next second, “Jiujiu, if you fasten it so tightly, won’t it be hot? It’s over 30 degrees today, which is very uncomfortable.”

Nie Wenyuan said no.

Huang Dan looked at the man, he didn’t seem to be sweating, he was a little envious, unlike himself, who was sleeping on the bed with his shirt off, sweating profusely from the heat, and sparks appeared in his hair and fur.

Before going out, Huang Dan went to the room to change out of Nie Wenyuan’s long clothes and trousers, and put on the white vest and large pants he brought.

Grandma Wu was standing in the living room, and when she heard Nie Wenyuan say that she needed to prepare two pairs of rubber boots, her eyelids twitched, “You want to take him out? There is a flood outside. It’s such a mess. With such a naughty punk around, I don’t know how much trouble it will cause. How about letting him help peel peanuts at home?”

Nie Wenyuan held a cigarette in his mouth. He shook his hand holding a match to extinguish the flame, “I have promised Xiao Yu.”

Grandma Wu said, “There is no need to take him along.”

Nie Wenyuan said, “Mama Wu, I’m his Jiujiu, so I can’t break my promise.”

Grandma Wu couldn’t understand how much credibility was needed for such a reckless kid. “It’s not that I have any prejudice against him, it’s just that he’s like that. He just knows how to mess around all day long, and he can’t learn well in his whole life.”

Nie Wenyuan played with the matchbox.

When Grandma Wu saw that he didn’t say anything, she continued, “Like his Gege Xiao Fei, who can study, graduated from college, and is sensible, that is your big nephew.”

Nie Wenyuan took a puff of cigarette and said, “No one is.”

Grandma Wu was stunned. Her voice sounded much older, “Anyway, the Nie family was very kind to you back then.”

Nie Wenyuan threw the matchbox on the coffee table, closed his eyes and puffed out smoke.

Grandma Wu watched this man grow up, took care of him for decades, and spent more time with him than his parents. She treated him like her own son, but she still couldn’t see through it. She couldn’t see it at all.

The living room fell silent, and Grandma Wu hesitated to speak, but in the end she didn’t open her mouth again.

When Huang Dan came out of the room, he noticed something was wrong with the man on the sofa. He didn’t say anything, he just walked over and waited for the other person’s movements to change according to the situation.

Nie Wenyuan finished smoking a cigarette without saying a word, stubbed it out and put it in the ashtray, he stood up and walked out the door.

Huang Dan followed quickly.

The embankment of T City is to the west. A short distance away, the car was forced to stop. They took a boat instead. After getting off the boat, they had to walk. Every time they lifted up their rubber boots, they would bring out a puddle of mud.

Nie Wenyuan walked easily, but it was very difficult for Huang Dan. He was panting from exhaustion. When he got there, he didn’t feel tired anymore because the scene in front of him took away all his attention.

The People’s Liberation Army soldiers wore dirty camouflage uniforms and orange vests. They carried sandbags weighing dozens of kilograms and blocked the embankment one by one.

Nie Wenyuan went to talk to the leader, but Huang Dan did not go. He stood on the dam and saw a People’s Liberation Army soldier slumped on his comrade, his legs stretched out weakly, and his feet had been soaked in the water for too long, and their flesh color had disappeared.

Huang Dan glanced towards the embankment. In his field of vision was a rolling flood, and the camouflage uniform sandwiched in the middle was very eye-catching.

When he saw that some citizens participating in the flood fight had heat stroke and needed help, he immediately went over to pull them out. He could only do this and could not do anything else.

The surrounding air is extremely turbid, and the smell of soil is very strong, which clogs people’s nostrils, oppresses nerves, and makes people dizzy easily.

Huang Dan glanced at him unintentionally. He walked not far away and saw a monument of life and death, with bright red words written on it —— the embankment is still there and people are still there, and we swear to live and die with the embankment!

Looking at the content on the monument, Huang Dan felt something in his heart, which was heaviness. He had never felt this kind of mood before. This time he traveled back in time to fight against floods. It seemed that he was deliberately trying to make him fully understand the meaning of these words.

With the wind blowing, Huang Dan’s face was wet and sweaty. He came back to his original position and stood there. Before setting off, he promised Nie Wenyuan that he would be good.

Nie Wenyuan was still talking to people over there, with his back to Huang Dan, the hair on the back of his head was shaved, revealing his slender neck, which made people want to reach out and touch it when they saw it.

Just as Huang Dan was about to shift his body’s center of gravity from the left to the right, he saw a People’s Liberation Army soldier carrying a sandbag coming this way, and he suddenly fell forward.

Huang Dan was the closest to the People’s Liberation Army. He jumped down without hesitation and ran forward. He originally wanted to support him, but the weight he passed on was too heavy and he couldn’t stand still, so he used himself as a backing.

Several dozen kilograms of sandbags plus the weight of the youth were all pressed down on Huang Dan’s back. His face was buried in the mud and he could not make any sound.

Person from the People’s Liberation Army lay prone on Huang Dan’s back, his body twitched a few times, and then he stopped moving.

The others reacted and hurried forward to pull him aside to rescue him, but they failed to save him, saying that he had lost his breath and heartbeat and died of overwork.

Huang Dan’s mouth was full of mud, and his teeth were knocked against his lips. He was pulled to the dam by others, and he took the water handed to him in a daze and rinsed his mouth. He coughed loudly, and his face was covered with tears, which diluted the muddy water on it.

The People’s Liberation Army soldier was carried away by his comrades. Huang Dan recognized him as the one who had pulled him from the barrel onto the boat and sent him out of the city last time. He was about the same age as the original owner. He disappeared as soon as he left. When he left, he was still covered in sweat and mud.

Huang Dan stared blankly with tearful eyes and didn’t move for a long time.

Nie Wenyuan patted the young man on the shoulder, and handed over a light gray handkerchief.

Huang Dan took the handkerchief and blew his nose, a trace of sadness suddenly appeared in his heart, people are really weak at certain times.

Nie Wenyuan knelt down and said, “You did a good job.”

Huang Dan learned from the memory of the original owner that Chen Xiaorou, Chen Fei, and Zhou Weiwei wanted to get a compliment from their Jiujiu, and they tried their best to use tricks every time they met, but they never succeeded.

Among the three, Nie Wenyuan paid more attention to Zhou Weiwei. The original owner didn’t care, but Gege and Jiejie did. Especially Jiejie, she cared a lot.

Huang Dan’s thoughts returned and he returned the handkerchief to the man.

Nie Wenyuan looked at the handkerchief stained with snot and tears, as well as large swathes of mud. He didn’t pick it up, “Take it back and give it to Mama Wu to wash.”

Huang Dan stopped his hand, folded the handkerchief and stuffed it into his pocket. He had come out of the mud and was dirty from his hair to his toes, so he didn’t bother to care, “Jiujiu, what are we going to do next? Go down and help?”

“You don’t have to go, wait here for Jiujiu.”

Nie Wenyuan left after finishing speaking. When he reappeared, he put on a camouflage uniform and an orange vest, shuttling through the ranks of the People’s Liberation Army, without feeling a little abrupt.

Huang Dan narrowed his eyes. The man had an aura about him who had been a soldier, and his figure was very tall and straight, which others did not have.

Not long after Nie Wenyuan joined the flood fight, Huang Dan heard a voice from behind, “Yo, who did I think it was? It turns out to be Director Nie.”

The voice was very familiar, Huang Dan turned his head, and saw Boss Wang, who is Wang Ming walking slowly with his followers. There was mud around the leather shoes and on the trouser legs. While touching the big jade ring on his hand, he smiled as if he had seen something funny, which was disgusting.

Wang Ming waved his henchmen to wait behind him. He came closer and said in a low voice, “Boy, I have never seen any nephews or nieces around your Jiujiu outside. He can bring you out, not afraid that you will cause him trouble, it seems that he has begun to recognize you.”

“Congratulations, work harder to gain his trust. By then, it will be much easier to complete what I told you. It seems that the day when we are all happy will not be too far away.”

Huang Dan ignored him.

Wang Ming joked, “Like a clay doll. Why, rolling in the mud?”

Huang Dan still didn’t respond.

The veins on Wang Ming’s forehead were protruding. If there were not many people around, his feet would have been kicked up. Really don’t fucking know how high the sky is. “You know, I looked for your Ge before I looked for you.”

Huang Dan’s nerve endings trembled, and he waited silently for the next sentence.

Wang Ming maliciously cut off the conversation and said, “Want to know? Go and ask yourself.”

Huang Dan，“……”

He glanced at Wang Ming’s hand, not to look at the jade ring finger, but to find a black mark under the jade ring finger, which seemed to be tattooed, a string of letters?

Is the jade ring covering the imprint underneath? What will it be?

Without stopping for too long, Huang Dan withdrew his gaze before Wang Ming’s alarm bell rang. He organized his thoughts, stuffed the information he had in hand, and waited for confirmation before sorting it out again.

At this moment, Nie Wenyuan suddenly turned around and looked over.

Huang Dan’s face remains unchanged.

Wang Ming glanced past him, smiled inexplicably, then looked at Nie Wenyuan, gave him a thumbs up, and praised nonchalantly, “Director Nie is old but still vigorous.”

He pointed to the people around him and made up things, “Your nephew told me just now that you are very strong. Really, you didn’t see it, when he mentioned you, his eyes were shining.”

Huang Dan’s mouth twitched.

Nie Wenyuan looked at the young man, he turned his head away and continued to carry sandbags.

Wang Ming relaxed his muscles and said, “Now that Director Nie has gone down, I can’t just stand aside and watch the fun. Xiao Hu, go get me a set of clothes that are the same as Director Nie’s!”

His voice was neither high nor low, enough for everyone around him to hear.

The faces of the other big shots in T City turned purple. They stared at Wang Ming and cursed in their hearts. Damn it, didn’t they agree that they were just here to show off and not do anything else? What rubbish is this now?

There was nothing they could do. Many people were watching. They all put on their equipment, blended into the ranks of citizens and the People’s Liberation Army, put some mud on their bodies and carried sandbags to show off.

After more than ten minutes, when Nie Wenyuan raised his hand to wipe his sweat, he turned his head and glanced. The young man was still squatting there obediently, not running around, not causing chaos, and doing what he said.

Wang Ming also looked over, with a bad look on his face. He depended on seeing how little nephew was doing tricks on the embankment, and Jiujiu cannot be made fun of, and all the role models and images are swept away.

It turned out to be a good thing, the little nephew who loves to make troubles turned out to be a good baby.

On the other side, Grandma Wu opened the door for Liu Quanwu, “It’s unlucky for you to come. The director is out.”

Liu Quanwu changed his shoes and asked, “Did he go to the factory?”

Grandma Wu shook her head and said that the dam was blocked, “He also took Xiao Yu.”

Surprised expression appeared on Liu Quanwu’s face, “When did Xiao Yu come here?”

Grandma Wu got angry when she mentioned this, “For a few days, he didn’t do anything from morning to night, just wandered upstairs and downstairs. I don’t know what kind of tricks he wanted to play.”

Liu Quanwu smiled, “With Wenyuan here, Xiao Yu will be honest.”

He took off the hat on his head and said, “Mama Wu, I see there are women’s shoes at the door. Is there anyone else there?”

Grandma Wu sighed, “Look at my memory, Wenyuan’s Jiejie and her daughter are both here, and they came on the same day as Xiao Yu.”

Liu Quanwu said clearly, “Well, there’s a flood outside, and the terrain here in Wenyuan is good, so it’s safe here.”

Grandma Wu said that was not the case, so there were too many people. She wiped her hands on the rag, “Do you have anything to do with Wenyuan? He doesn’t know when he will be back yet. Why don’t you watch TV for a while and I’ll finish washing the rest of the clothes?.”

Liu Quanwu said yes, “Mama Wu, go and do your work, you don’t have to worry about my side.”

Grandma Wu said yes, “There is boiling water in the kitchen, and the cup is on the coffee table. If you want to drink water, you can pour it yourself.”

She went into the bathroom and closed the door. She had just washed the clothes in the basin, and before the water was clear, she heard loud noises coming from outside, making the listeners tremble.

Grandma Wu hurried out, and there was soapy foam on the ground. She slipped, and at the critical moment she stretched out her hand to hold the stool. If the fall had been firm, she might not have been able to get up.

After patting her chest and reciting Amitabha several times, Grandma Wu went out cautiously. She felt like she had walked through the gate of hell. She didn’t care about the fear and ran upstairs, sweating profusely from exhaustion.

“Quanwu, what’s wrong?”

Liu Quanwu covered his forehead, and blood flowed out from between his fingers. He had scars on his face, which was already ugly. When the bright red blood got on it, he looked ghostly and terrifying.

Grandma Wu stopped wiping sweat with her hands, and the next moment she screamed, “Why are you bleeding so much? Did you hit it somewhere or……”

Before she finished shouting, she heard screams coming from the room, and now she could more or less guess what was going on.

“Quanwu, weren’t you watching TV downstairs? Why did you go to Xiaowei’s room?”

Liu Quanwu covered his forehead and walked forward, “It’s not easy for me to come here. I just want to see Xiaowei. I haven’t paid much attention to her recently because work in the factory is hectic.”

Grandma Wu’s waist hurt when she looked at the blood dripping on the ground. Wiping the floor was not an easy task. “You visit her to suffer humiliation. Why was she stimulated?”

Liu Quanwu kept walking, “It’s all my fault.”

He sighed, “I thought Xiaowei’s condition had improved, but I didn’t expect it to get worse. I just said a few words to her, and she suddenly smacked something at me, and head was smashed open. “

Grandma Wu said, “Nah, sometimes she is almost the same as before. She will dance, eat, sleep and read.”

Liu Quanwu stopped, “Really?”

Grandma Wu said cannot wrong, “She just can’t remember the situation when the accident happened, otherwise the culprit would have been arrested.”

Liu Quanwu said, “Let her take time, this matter cannot be rushed.”

Grandma Wu nodded and said, “It’s not a matter of urgency. She can recognize people now and will get better sooner or later.”

Liu Quanwu immediately asked, “Xiaowei can recognize people? When did it happen? Why didn’t Wenyuan tell me about such a big thing?!”

He seemed very excited, “Over the years, I have treated Xiaowei as meimei and taken care of her as a daughter. However, Wenyuan didn’t regard me as a Xiongdi, and even hid Xiaowei’s affairs from me.”

Grandma Wu didn’t like others to say that Nie Wenyuan was wrong, so she spoke for him, “Wenyuan is too busy, it’s normal to not think about it, besides, Xiaowei can’t recognize everyone.”

Liu Quanwu asked, “How do you say this?”

Grandma Wu said, “Xiaowei only recognizes Wenyuan now. When her mother speaks, she doesn’t react at all.”

Liu Quanwu sighed a long time, “It will be fine.”

Grandma Wu saw that his forehead was bleeding, “Are you seriously injured? If not, I’ll call Wenyuan and ask him to send someone to take you to the hospital.”

Liu Quanwu said it wasn’t serious, “I’ll leave first, I have something to do, and come back when I have time.”

“Mama Wu, please say hello to Xiaowei’s mother for me. She was comforting Xiaowei in the room, and I couldn’t say anything. “

Grandma Wu agreed. She sent Liu Quanwu away, looked up at the stairs, muttered something, and then continued to wash clothes. After washing, she went upstairs to see the situation.

Zhou Weiwei took medicine and fell asleep, and Nie Xiuqin had a bloody tooth mark on her hand.

Grandma Wu’s eyes turned red, “Xiuqin ah, you are always like this ever since, it’s really not a problem.”

Nie Xiuqin looked tired, and said with a wry smile, “Otherwise, what can I do? If I don’t let her bite me, she will bite herself. Mama Wu, do you think we have been punished by heaven? How could this happen?”

She choked up in pain, “But we haven’t done anything that harms heaven, and heavenly punishment shouldn’t fall on us?”

Grandma Wu wiped her tears and sighed inwardly.

This is fate.

When Huang Dan came back in the evening and heard Grandma Wu talking to Nie Wenyuan, he realized that Liu Quanwu had been here during the day and had stimulated Zhou Weiwei.

“It’s all right now.”

Grandma Wu went to the kitchen and said, “Xiao Yu, come over and help.”

Huang Dan went to serve the dishes on the table, then went to the room to get clothes to take a shower, changed the dirty clothes and sat back on the table.

Nie Xiuqin didn’t go downstairs, and there were only three people along with Huang Dan for dinner. Grandma Wu was nagging alone throughout the whole process. She said that she was scared to death, and said that Xiaowei, that child’s illness had caused her mother a lot of pain.

Huang Dan had something on his mind, so he didn’t go to Nie Wenyuan at night. He lay in bed early and thought about it, sorting out the information he had over and over again.

At noon the next day, something happened that could be big or small. Zhou Weiwei disappeared.

Huang Dan was taking a nap in his room when he heard a heartbreaking cry and woke up.

Nie Xiuqin was about to run outside, but Grandma Wu grabbed Nie Xiuqin, and the two of them were chattering at the door, crying with snot and tears.

Grandma Wu is very old, and her body is incomparable to Nie Xiuqin, who is much younger than her. Nie Xiuqin really exerted all her strength to drag her outside.

“Xiao Yu, Chen Yu, your BiaoJie ran away—”

Grandma Wu yelled, and the person was all dragged under the eaves by Nie Xiuqin.

Huang Dan didn’t even wear any shoes, and he ran over barefoot, comforting the middle-aged woman who was on the verge of collapse, “Auntie, I’m going out to find BiaoJie.”

Grandma Wu hurriedly said, “Let Xiao Yu go find him. He is a boy with quick legs and is familiar with this area.”

Nie Xiuqin’s body trembled, and she grabbed Huang Dan’s arm forcefully, “Xiao Yu, you must get your BiaoJie back, aunt beg you……”

Huang Dan said that I would, “Grandma, help take care of my aunt.”

As he said that, he ran out. His young and flustered figure was quickly soaked by the flood, and his pace did not slow down at all.

Grandma Wu was stunned for a while, and she said to herself, “So well-behaved, really change in character?”

Nie Xiuqin paced back and forth anxiously at the door, her tears never stopping.

After all, Grandma Wu had both feet in the coffin standing inside, she calmly called Nie Wenyuan and told the matter.

Nie Wenyuan couldn’t get away because he had something to do, so he sent a few people back to look for.

When Nie Wenyuan came back from dealing with the matter, Zhou Weiwei still hadn’t been found. He frowned, “Where’s the person?”

Several people were covered in muddy water, and their clothes and trousers could not be seen in color. They shook their heads, not daring to breathe.

Nie Wenyuan looked at his little nephew, who was rubbing his eyes and seemed very uncomfortable. He had already stepped forward before he could realize, “What’s wrong?”

Huang Dan said, “The mud got into my eyes.”

Nie Wenyuan raised his chin and said, “Go and rinse it with water.”

Huang Dan rushed over, his eyelids were trembling, his eyes were red and bloodshot, he walked up to the man, raised his face and said, “Jiujiu, can you help me take a look?”

Nie Wenyuan’s eyes looked down.

Huang Dan waited for a long time and there was no response. He called out, “Jiujiu?”

Nie Wenyuan looked away, “There is nothing dirty.”

Huang Dan said, “I still feel uncomfortable.”

He rubbed his eyes, but his hand that was raised in the air was stopped. Nie Wenyuan said, “Don’t rub it with your hands, it will get better later.”

Huang Dan stopped rubbing it and squinted his uncomfortable eye, “Jiujiu, where did BiaoJie go?”

Nie Wenyuan said, “She should be nearby, not have gone far away.”

Huang Dan said, “We searched everywhere.”

Nie Wenyuan didn’t answer. He called a few people in the living room outside the door and gave orders calmly, asking them to go to a few spots and search carefully.

More than an hour later, Zhou Weiwei was found and brought back.

Nie Wenyuan’s prediction was correct. She didn’t run very far at all. She was in a forest behind the house. Several trees to the east were washed down by the flood. She was lying under the strange-shaped branches.

The clothes Zhou Weiwei was wearing were similar in color to leaves, so Huang Dan and the others passed by her several times without even noticing.

If Nie Wenyuan hadn’t pointed out the woods, Zhou Weiwei might have been turned into a corpse when she was found.

There was a cut at the corner of Zhou Weiwei’s eye, scratched by a branch, and her skin was white with blisters which was a little disgusting, but she didn’t notice it and sat on the bedside blankly.

Nie Xiuqin applied medicine to the wound at the corner of her daughter’s eye, and she cried softly, “Xiaowei, if something happens to you, your mother will not be alive. I will go with you to meet your father underground.”

Zhou Weiwei’s eyes were empty and she didn’t give any response.

Huang Dan and Nie Wenyuan left the oppressive room together, he called the other party to stop, “I have something to tell Jiujiu.”

Nie Wenyuan walked to the study.

Huang Dan followed him and closed the door after entering the study.

Nie Wenyuan lit a cigarette, took a long puff, and said, “Talk.”

Huang Dan said, “That time I went to BiaoJie’s house and mentioned my Ge and my Jie in front of her, and she lost control of her emotions. A few days ago, I mentioned Quanwu Shushu, and she was also like that, suddenly knocking me down. But if I mentioned others, she won’t have any reaction.”

Nie Wenyuan, “Go on.”

Huang Dan said, “Quanwu Shushu came to see her yesterday, and something almost happened to her today.”

After a pause, he said, “I always feel that these things are a bit strange, Jiujiu, do you think I am thinking right?”

Nie Wenyuan exhaled a puff of smoke, “Jiujiu is investigating, and there will be results soon.”

Huang Dan said, “More than a month has passed and there is no evidence.”

Nie Wenyuan said, “Trust Jiujiu.”

Huang Dan pursed his lips, “Has Quanwu Shushu entered the New Century Project?”

Nie Wenyuan, “Yes.”

Huang Dan said, “I want to go too.”

Nie Wenyuan raised his eyebrows and said, “He is responsible for supervising the delivery of building materials. What are you going to do?”

Huang Dan told the truth, “I will supervise Quanwu Shushu.”

Nie Wenyuan looked at him with raised eyebrows.

Huang Dan said, “Quanwu Shushu is Jiujiu’s, your person. If anything happens to him, Jiujiu will be implicated.”

Nie Wenyuan flicked the ashes into the ashtray, “Jiujiu will tell you two things. First, your Quanwu Shushu is not Jiujiu’s person. Second, he is responsible for his own business.”

Huang Dan just looked at the man and didn’t speak.

Nie Wenyuan half-closed his eyes and smoked, “Jiujiu thought you would mention your Ge’s job.”

Huang Dan said, “Jiujiu already mentioned my Ge’s job when we had dinner at my house. He has just graduated and has little experience. So he probably needs some practice.”

Nie Wenyuan raised his eyelids, hard to notice anything, “Wait for news.”

Huang Dan said, “Thank you, Jiujiu.”

Nie Wenyuan pinched the bridge of his nose with one hand and said, “Get out.”

Huang Dan walked to the door and said, “Jiujiu, smoking is bad for your health.”

The man behind him didn’t make a sound, Huang Dan knew he heard it, so he didn’t say any more, it’s not good to say too much.

If the fight against the flood fails, the People’s Liberation Army will not leave.

Huang Dan has been living here with Nie Wenyuan, and Grandma Wu is even more displeased with him. As for the reason, it probably feels that he is getting closer to Nie Wenyuan, and Grandma Wu is afraid that he will affect Nie Wenyuan’s future.

In the eyes of Grandma Wu, Huang Dan is just a little punk, and the mud can’t hold up the wall. This idea has been deeply ingrained. It can’t be pulled out, nor it can’t rot. It just stays there.

Huang Dan didn’t take it seriously, it is very difficult to change a person’s thinking, let alone the older generation.

Moreover, the original owner was indeed a bit messy in the past. If he did not tell the good things he did, nor did the other person involved, no one would know, but everyone would know the bad things.

Nie Youxiang called twice. Huang Dan knew that Chen Xiaorou’s art performance had been postponed and was not in a good mood. He also knew that Chen Fei had not found a satisfactory job and had too many ambitions to put into practice.

According to Nie Youxiang, the eldest son was delayed by his Jiujiu, and felt resentful.

It’s a family, one doesn’t help with this, if anyone say it, no one’s face can hang up, so it can only be kept secret and not let others know.

Nie Youxiang asked Huang Dan to mention this matter to Nie Wenyuan, “Xiao Yu, your Ge is feeling depressed right now. Although he didn’t ask me to tell you, he must be counting on you to speak up for him. Whether his starting point after graduation is high or low depends on you.”

Huang Dan said, “Jiujiu has made a statement. No one can make him change his decision, not even me.”

Nie Youxiang said on the other end of the phone, “Your aunt told your mother, I, that these days you always go to your Jiujiu’s room and his study. Even your Ge and your Jie are not allowed to go there. It means that your Jiuju treats you much better than before, and it’s not the same thing at all.”

“You just do what I say, that’s it. I’ll go make soup for your Ge. You have to be obedient to your Jiujiu and don’t cause trouble. Do you hear me?”

Huang Dan said, “I heard it.”

Nie Youxiang was going to hang up the phone, but when she heard her son’s obedient tone, she sighed involuntarily, and her eyes turned red, “Ai, mom sees that you are really learning to be obedient and good, if your father was still alive, How good that would be.”

“Don’t talk, don’t talk, you have to learn more from Jiujiu, if he can introduce you to something to do, it doesn’t matter what it is, as long as you don’t mess around like that in the future, your mom, I, can wake up laughing from dreams. “

Really hung up this time.

Huang Dan sat on the sofa. He drank the remaining half of the glass of water and became thoughtful.

It’s been very peaceful recently, Liu Quanwu hasn’t shown up, Zhou Weiwei is also very quiet, nothing happened.

Huang Dan and Nie Wenyuan were getting along better and better, and the appointment time with Wang Ming was getting closer. It was not clear what would happen.

The worst thing is probably not being caught by Wang Ming’s men and beaten to death. The original owner did take the 10,000 yuan, and Wang Ming might take advantage of this to cause trouble.

If Wang Ming’s matter is not resolved, Huang Dan dare not have any relationship with Nie Wenyuan beyond Jiujiu and nephew. In this era, once someone discovered them, the consequences would be tragic.

Huang Dan’s head was aching. He rubbed his hands vigorously on both sides, feeling a little uneasy, and wanted to see if the money was still there.

One morning, Nie Wenyuan went out. Huang Dan watched him leave from the window, and then he felt relieved.

While Grandma Wu was busy, Huang Dan sneaked into Nie Wenyuan’s room and went straight to the place where he hid the money last time. It was a hard wooden partition but there was nothing there.

Huang Dan took a breath, he looked closer, groped around, but still found nothing, ten thousand yuan was really gone.

Who took it?

Huang Dan immediately thought of Nie Wenyuan. After all, this is his room, and he has more opportunities than anyone else.

But assuming it was Nie Wenyuan, if he discovered the money, even if he wouldn’t call people to inquire about the situation in a big way, he would still investigate. As long as he does that, he will definitely leave clues.

Huang Dan can be sure that Nie Wenyuan has relaxed his guard against him these days, even the barrier of isolation has been removed, and he is trying to accept this little nephew.

Besides Nie Wenyuan, who else could it be?

Huang Dan suddenly remembered that Liu Quanwu had been here three days ago. He and Nie Wenyuan were not there at that time, but only Grandma Wu, Nie Xiuqin mother and daughter. Could it be that the other party took the money and took them away?

Liu Quanwu has been gambling for these years, and even chopping off his fingers and being slashed on the face can’t stop him from gambling, which is enough to show that his gambling addiction is astonishing, and the temptation of money will be terrible for him.

Huang Dan pressed his temples. Go out first. Think about it after going out. This is not a safe place. He can’t calm down.

After closing the cabinet door, Huang Dan turned around and went to the door to open it. He saw Nie Wenyuan standing at the door with a cigarette in his hand, his brows furrowed, and his dark eyes swept over him.
