Everywhere you go during peak hours is overcrowded, and the supermarket above the shopping mall is like dumplings at this moment.
There are many promotional activities in this kind of affordable supermarket, and the shops along the way also take advantage of the heavy traffic to promote sales.
Every few steps I was stopped by someone trying to eat or drink.
Fang Ning was not used to it for a while, and it had been many years since she had so casually strolled around a supermarket alone with a man.
Last time.
After thinking about it for a long time, I didn’t remember the last time.
Maybe it's because the two of them are good-looking and look very good together as they walk side by side, attracting many people to turn around and look at them along the way.
An aunt wearing a red apron, who looked quite rich and festive, saw the two of them walking side by side, and immediately greeted them warmly.
She must have been in the sales industry for a long time and is well versed in the way of dealing with things and speaking. Although the two of them came here together, she went straight to Fang Ning accurately.
For most young couples who come to the supermarket, most of the people who make the decisions are women. Auntie understands this very well.
"Oh, what a beautiful lady.
Take a look at the freshly cooked beef in sauce in our store. Come and try it for free. Try a piece.
Our cattle are raised in our own livestock farm, so they are clean and hygienic and the meat is delicious.”

Fang Ning was a little embarrassed, because her polite refusal was fruitless, so the other party's aunt took a toothpick and poked a small piece of beef into her mouth.
Lu Lingyou just stood there as if watching a show, with no intention of helping.
Fang Ning hurriedly took half a step back and took the toothpick from her aunt's finger with a smile.
"Then please weigh some for me."

"okay."

The aunt's face turned crimson when she smiled, and she deserved it quickly.
"Beauty, you two have just got off work.
It is really not easy for you young people nowadays. You are very busy at work. Most of you don't know how to cook after get off work, so you can only order takeout.
If things go on like this for a long time, it’s not good for your health.”

Lu Lingyou grinned at the side and watched the aunt across from him fill a large bag of beef without any care.
Fang Ning was actually not very good at refusing this kind of bargaining, so she could only take out her mobile phone and prepare to pay.
Lu Lingyou moved now. He raised his phone and scanned the code first.
"Let me do it."

The aunt gave Fang Ning a sneaking look.
"Why, I'm not married yet, and the money is divided so clearly.
Beauty, don't blame the aunt for being so verbose.
It is during this time of love that men should be more expressive.
When it comes to love, don’t always follow the latest trends like AAAB. How can you live your life so clearly in the future?”

Fang Ning shook her head helplessly, holding in her words for a long time.
"It's not easy to make money."

Lu Lingyou stood aside and almost had his face cramped with laughter. He picked up the packaging bag and raised his chin towards his aunt.
"Business is booming."

The aunt was beaming with joy.
"This tall guy is so nice.
As handsome as my son."

After leaving the store door, Fang Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But seeing Lu Lingyou's hand full of a big bag of soy sauce beef, I felt a little sad.
"Can this thing be stored? Don't they two have a refrigerator?
How about buying a refrigerator?"

Lu Lingyou licked his back molars, but his mouth still tasted like grass.
"You said you are a rich woman and you are still out of breath.
Why, come here to buy."

Fang Ning quickly followed up. Lu Lingyou's long legs meant he could walk three inches longer than others.
"I don't have the brains for business.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t have transferred all the equity.”

The two found a large cart and followed the bustling crowd inside.
"You didn't retain any equity at all?"

Fang Ning nodded.
“He said he started from scratch, but in fact he borrowed a lot of help from my mother’s family earlier.
It was only after his wings became stiff that he turned against me.
Although my grandfather didn't agree with this marriage at the beginning, and he was still worried about my mother running away from home and getting the marriage certificate without authorization for a long time, but after all, it was his own biological child, so he couldn't turn a blind eye to it, and he had helped overtly and covertly."

Of course Lu Lingyou knew that the man Fang Ning was talking about, who didn't even like to call him by his name, was her father.
But Fang Ning hated his biological father so much that even in the past, he rarely said anything except what was necessary.
It just shows that even though she knew her mother was mentally unstable, she still tortured her with cold violence in the later period.
All in all, the atmosphere at home was inexplicably strange.
"I asked you at the beginning. You said it was because your grandfather discovered that he had the ambition to annex the entire group, so he drew a clear line and stopped providing any assistance.
But I have never understood your father.
He is a businessman and he understands this very well.
Since he was able to grow the company to this scale on his own later, it shows that he has the ability and skills that are beyond the reach of others.
But even if annexation is impossible, there is no need to turn against such a rock-solid backing.
He has many ways to stabilize your grandpa's mood, so why have to stand on the opposite side?
This is not the best choice for a businessman.
To put it bluntly, even if the power of your mother's family just acquiesces in his existence, it is much more reliable than a new partner on the street.
I thought about it later, maybe he was quite competitive, and to put it bluntly, he just wanted to win over others and lose face."

Fang Ning was pulled by Lu Lingyou and avoided the children who were running towards him.
"I told you before, my mother's leg was injured."

Lu Lingyou nodded.
"Isn't that before you were born?"

Fang Ning said that her mother gave up dancing because of an accidental injury.
Afterwards I became depressed and suffered from severe anxiety and depression.
But according to Fang Ning, the doctor had actually told her clearly that her injury did not leave any serious sequelae. If she wanted to continue dancing, she just had to insist on reconstruction and return to [-] or [-] percent of her original mechanical state. The functionality is no problem.
But the human spirit is sometimes so powerful.
Although she was in good health, she would still be awakened by an inexplicable and piercing pain in the middle of the night.
The doctor said that this was like the phantom limb pain experienced by patients after amputation surgery. In fact, it was not real pain, but a mental stimulating pain caused by a huge psychological burden.
Since then, this pain has been with me and never subsided.
"I will come later"

Fang Ning paused, hesitated for two seconds and continued.
"I checked again later.
The so-called solo performance that caused her accident did not exist."

Lu Lingyou paused and looked back.
"What's the meaning."

These details were reviewed by two people, and there was never any doubt about them.
Because her mother has always had this symptom after Fang Ning was born. Everyone said that the injury was caused by a stage accident. Even her mother herself told Fang Ning this.
The two people suddenly stopped in the middle of the crowd.
Fang Ning raised his head and looked at Lu Lingyou with sad eyes.
"The injury on her leg was not caused by an accident during the performance.
possible"

She lowered her head.
"Maybe he hit me."

Lu Lingyou's heart skipped a beat.
No wonder.
He previously thought that Fang Ning was just disgusted with his father, so he later refused to bury the ashes of his parents together, or even allow them to be buried together.
If it was just disgust, this explanation would be reasonable.
But before, he asked how her father's ashes were disposed of, and she said that they were taken abroad and thrown into the sea.
At that time, he felt that it was a bit too extreme.
It turned out to be so.
People were still walking in and out, and the excitement was endless, but at this moment, Fang Ning suddenly felt extremely cold.
Lu Lingyou smacked his lips and spoke after a while.
"Let's buy something first, and we'll find time to talk later."

"it is good."

The two of them bought some vegetable and fruit snacks that are easier to store, and also bought some ingredients for hot pot.
Of course Lu Lingyou didn't agree with her to buy a refrigerator directly, but he still agreed to buy an extra electric cooker.
Zhang Song and his family only have one stove. If you want to have hot pot at their house, you can't have a few people standing around the stove to eat.
After taking inventory, the two of them drove towards the alleys of the old city.
I had called Zhang Song in advance, and the two of them went home and started cleaning as soon as school was over.
Because they had lived in Fang Ning's rather "luxurious" home, they were afraid that Fang Ning would not be used to staying here.
The alley was too narrow and cars couldn't get in, so Zhang Bai had been waiting for the two of them at the entrance of the alley.
As soon as he saw the two figures in the windshield from afar, Zhang Bai immediately jumped up from the ground and waved excitedly to the two people.
"Uncle Lu, sister."

Lu Lingyou got out of the car and glared at him.
"I told you this is a bad guy.
Why am I the uncle and she is the sister?" Zhang Bai grinned with his teeth bared.
"Because you are older than my sister."

Fang Ning finally calmed down a bit and reached out to pat Zhang Bai on the head.
"Go to the trunk and help your uncle get something."

"okay."

Zhang Bai answered quickly and moved quickly.
Lu Lingyou rolled his eyes at Fang Ning again.
"Virtue."

After carrying a lot of things, Zhang Bai led the way, and after a while of twists and turns, he arrived at the entrance of the small courtyard.
This is Fang Ning's first time here.
Although the environment is bad enough, their small yard is quite unique.
Although the facilities in the yard and the house are a bit old, it is not difficult to see that the owner has taken care of and lived here very carefully.
Lu Lingyou said before that before their parents passed away, they should have lived a pretty good life, although even Zhang Song didn't remember much about that time.
Zhang Song was setting up a wooden table in the yard. When he saw the three people coming in, he hurried over to pick them up.
He saw that Fang Ning was looking back and forth at the yard, which was still a little cramped. He wondered if she was a little disgusted by the mess here.
Fang Ning smiled at Zhang Song.
"It turns out there is a tree in your yard."

Zhang Song laughed and wiped the chair with his sleeve before giving up his seat.
The four people connected to a power strip and started eating hot pot in the yard.
During this period, Fang Ning kept asking various questions, but after getting up for a long time, Lu Lingyou didn't show any cooperation.
She was a little angry and kicked Lu Lingyou under the table, but Lu Lingyou didn't even raise his eyelids on the table.
When one kick failed, Fang Ning kicked him a second time and a third time.
When he wanted to kick again, the long legs under the table suddenly and skillfully moved a little to the side. Fang Ning kicked the table leg with a bang, and the whole table shook twice.
"."

Zhang Song and Zhang Bai were eating happily, and all of a sudden they were all eating.
"Sister, what's wrong?"

Fang Ning really had no excuse, and even after thinking for a long time, he didn't know how to explain it.
Lu Lingyou curled up his lips, suddenly put down his chopsticks, and said bluntly.
"Your sister wants to find a tutor for you two to make up for your lessons."

Hot pot is inherently spicy, but I almost choked to death with this bite.
Fang Ning glared at him, why did he tell him so directly? Why did he ask Ah in a tactful way?
Lu Lingyou looked back calmly.
"What's there to stare at? That's the thing. No matter how you go around, it's still the same."

After saying that, he looked at Zhang Song who looked extremely embarrassed.
"I know you don't want to owe others favors.
But it is also true that if you don’t accept help from others, you won’t be able to make rapid progress.
It is impossible for a person to completely put aside all these human feelings and sophistication and live.
Only by accepting help appropriately can you shorten the detour you take.
You only say that your grades have improved, but by how much?
You have been behind on your homework for so long. Can you make up for it just by listening carefully to one or two classes?
You only swear that you want to be a police officer.
But do you know what the cutoff is for the police academy? How far behind is your current level?
Or are you secretly planning to drop out of school and work to support your younger brother’s studies when you reach your age?”

Zhang Song seemed to have been impressed by what he said, lowering his head and saying nothing.
"You usually do calculations clearly. You can remember clearly who gave you a drink or a piece of clothing.
You may be thinking about how much these things are worth, and you will definitely make money to pay them back in the future.
But Zhang Song, let me ask you, when do you plan to pay back? How much do you plan to pay back?"

Zhang Song was about to refute, but was interrupted by Lu Lingyou.
"In that little notebook of yours, you record all kinds of debts, right?
How much does it cost to eat imported biscuits and how much does a hotpot meal cost?
But have you checked Zhang Song and Fang Ning’s refrigerator? A bag of only four hand-beaten beef balls costs more than 300.
The imported seafood you two ate adds up to at least six to seven thousand."

Zhang Song raised his head with wide eyes, his eyes filled with indescribable confusion.
"Also, if you think the clothes Fang Ning gave you two to wear are old, it doesn't matter.
But you don’t know that before you put on that suit of clothes, the clothes tag was still hanging on it.
The clothes of that brand even cost [-] yuan for a base layer vest.”

Fang Ning held Lu Lingyou's hand tightly, but he seemed to have no intention of stopping.
"Tell me Zhang Song, how do you want to pay back?
Are you going to pick up bottles and sell them for scrap metal? Or will you go out to serve dishes and wash dishes and pay back a little bit later?"

The atmosphere dropped to freezing point again and again, and no one spoke.
After a long while, Lu Lingyou took a cigarette in his mouth, then changed his tone and said slowly.
"With this ability, of course no one will have to worry.
But don’t you have it now?
If you want to have the capital to reciprocate with others, don't just push away all the help from others.
Later, when you grow up, achieve your goals, and have the ability to calculate how much, you can add this up again."

Fang Ning kicked Lu Lingyou hard again.
"Stop kicking, your bones will break in a moment."

He patted his trouser legs.
"Your sister is not a philanthropist, nor is she trying to bribe anyone with this favor to gain a reputation.
She just wants to help you."

The corners of Zhang Song's eyes were slightly red, but he also knew that what Lu Ling said was true.
"But."

Lu Lingyou tapped the table with his chopsticks.
"But what?
If you want to keep accounts, no one will stop you.
The money for hiring tutors to make up lessons in the future, as well as other future expenses.
You will issue an IOU to whoever pays for you between the two of us, and you will pay back whatever you have to pay after graduation. If I miss a point, I will have to go to your house."

Zhang Song suddenly raised his head, looked at Lu Lingyou, and then at Fang Ning.
Fang Ning nodded.
"Indeed, that's okay.
But I have to charge some interest, just follow the bank’s normal interest rate.”

Zhang Song hesitated and looked at the two of them for a while, then gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Okay, I'll give you an IOU.
I will definitely pay it back in the future, no matter what, with interest.”

Lu Lingyou bared his teeth and picked up the chopsticks again.
“But there are preconditions.
If you two fail the exam, don't blame your uncle for being cruel."

Zhang Song raised three fingers and said as if swearing.
"I promise.
I will definitely become an excellent police officer, like you."

Then he kicked Zhang Bai hard, who was still a little stunned.
Zhang Bai immediately raised three fingers and said.
"Me too.
I also want to be a policeman like Uncle Lu." (End of Chapter)
