Eye of Sin

After talking about his willingness to rent a house with Ning's father and Ning's mother, Huo Yan also showed the quality that an actionist should possess-after work the next day, he would bring money to Ning Shuyi's house to pay the deposit and rent up.

This efficiency obviously shocked both Ning's father and Ning's mother, as well as Ning Shuyi's brother-in-law Nie Guang.

Looking at that posture, Nie Guang didn't really believe that Huo Yan would rent the house above his father-in-law's. After all, the house was not small, and it was too big for a single man to live alone.

He thought it was just a play that Huo Yan made to cooperate with his parents-in-law, and used it to prevaricate himself.

Unexpectedly, this guy really came to sign the contract with money.

What's even more outrageous is that if you sign a contract, you will sign the contract. He also proposed that he would not be troublesome, so the rent should be paid annually, and he signed a long-term lease contract with Ning's father.

That night Nie Guang didn't even eat dinner, so he said he had other things to do, and found an excuse to leave early, instead of continuing to talk to his parents-in-law.

After he left, Father Ning did not sign the contract with Huo Yan, but said that he was not in a hurry. When the upstairs is finished cleaning up, can he go in and live in it? It will be the same when he signs again. By the way, he also emphasized that it is not true Long-term lease and annual payment are required.

Huo Yan just nodded and didn't express much.

After that, almost every day after get off work, Huo Yan would go back to her home with Ning Shuyi. It was not Ning Shuyi who invited her, but Ning's father and Huo Yan agreed that the two of them would clean up the upstairs after Huo Yan got off work every day. a mess.

Ning Shuyi didn't think it was necessary, but Ning's father gave a reason that she couldn't refute.

"This little Huo is tall and has a good physique. If there is something that needs to be climbed up and down, won't he save a lot of energy with me! Don't you have the heart to see your father grow old and still have to go up and down?" Climbing up and down?" Papa Ning said confidently.

Ning Shuyi was speechless, she and her sister were of medium height, and her brother-in-law Nie Guang was not considered a tall person, and father Ning's age was indeed risky for climbing high.

But Huo Yan, who was always not close to others, was able to accept such a request from Papa Ning, which surprised her the most.

"You don't think it's because he's too old to refuse my dad, so you're responsive?" After holding back for three or five days, Ning Shuyi finally couldn't help being curious, and asked Huo Yan.

"No." Huo Yan replied very simply, "Because your food is delicious."

Ning Shuyi had never heard such an absurd answer, but the expression on the face of the person who said it was extremely calm and sincere, as if every word came from the heart, leaving her speechless.

In this way, Huo Yan and Ning's father cleaned up together for half a month, and finally cleaned up the original mess upstairs.

Huo Yan didn't have high requirements for living, so he didn't ask Ning's father to spend any more time and effort on decoration. He just re-laid the wooden floor and added simple basic furniture, and the project was considered complete.

On the day Huo Yan officially moved in, he signed the rental contract, and still insisted on paying the rent every year. He paid the whole year's money in one go, which made Nie Guang's face darken again.

Ning's father and Ning's mother were too embarrassed to refuse in front of the eldest son-in-law, so they had to accept the money.

Ning Shuyi knew what his parents were worried about, so after dinner, when Huo Yan offered to help clean up the kitchen, he also went to help, and asked the second elder by the way.

"You pay one year's rent at a time. Although the money is not a huge sum, it is not a small amount!" She asked Huo Yan in a low voice, "If you want to help my parents, you don't have to work so hard!"

"It's okay, I have enough savings on hand." Huo Yan answered calmly as he quickly rinsed the clean bowl.

Ning Shuyi thought for a while: "I heard before that your salary is good, and the money is saved, and there is nowhere to spend it, so I don't know if it is true or not.

Looking at what you mean now, it’s probably true? "

Huo Yan did not answer Ning Shuyi's question directly, but only said: "I have a stack of honorary certificates."

"Huh?" Ning Shuyi was slightly taken aback, not understanding what Huo Yan meant.

"Participate in action, participate in big competitions, and daily assessments. Accumulate first-class merit once, second-class merit three times, and third-class merit...too many to remember." Huo Yan put the cleaned plate aside and drained the water In the basket, "No one is free, there are bonuses in the country and in the localities."

Ning Shuyi knows that there are bonuses for meritorious service, and their game is no exception, but meritorious service requires not only opportunity, but also strength.

She has seen people who have received meritorious service bonuses, but among the people she knows, Huo Yan is still the first one who can save savings with this kind of bonuses.

In this way, Huo Yan moved out of the dormitory in a low-key manner, moved upstairs to Ning Shuyi's house, and became a special neighbor.

During the day, the two of them went to work together, and at night, as long as Ning's father said hello, Huo Yan would go downstairs to grab a meal without saying a word, doing it very naturally.

But in the unit, Huo Yan is still the same, he is indifferent to everyone, not distant and indifferent, but he is not very close to anyone.

Neither he nor Ning Shuyi mentioned the move, and no one in the team knew about it.

Ning Shuyi has mastered the knack of dealing with him during the time he worked with Huo Yan, and getting along with him is very easy and pleasant, so it is not unreasonable for Huo Yan to become an upstairs neighbor and still come to the house every day for dinner. Nothing uncomfortable.

Huo Yan's good habits in the army also made Ning's father and Ning's mother very satisfied. Since he moved upstairs, the two elders no longer have to worry about being disturbed by sudden noises.

The only thing that made Ning Shuyi a little dissatisfied was that the two of them lived so close to each other. Huo Yan took her out for a run to practice physical fitness or something. She couldn't even find an excuse to hide or be lazy.

In this way, another month passed, and the temperature rose day by day. From the initial warm and cold, to the warm spring breeze, it continued to rise all the way, and it was early summer in a blink of an eye.

The early summer in City W is not too hot, and it is even a bit cool in the morning and evening. It can be regarded as the most beautiful and comfortable stage of the year.

During this period of time, the bureau was not too busy. Most of the time, Ning Shuyi and the others were able to commute to and from work regularly. Apart from being on duty, they could eat peacefully at home every night.

It turned out that on an ordinary evening, Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan came back to Ning's father's house after get off work. They had just sat down, and before they even had a mouthful of soup, they received a call, saying that there was a murder in a certain park. , need to rush to deal with it immediately.

Not daring to delay, the two quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks, and hurried to the crime scene.
