When I walked to the entrance of the corridor, I found that my face was still a little hot, so I ran back to the corner of the corridor, waited in the dark corner for the intense emotions in my heart to pass, and then whistled and left to conceal my uneasiness.

When I came with Xu Xiaohu the first two times, I didn't feel scared or uneasy at all.

When we passed the vegetable market entrance, I bumped into Xia Qing who was carrying a vegetable basket.

"Xia Qing, are you shopping for vegetables?" I went up to greet her.

She smiled slightly and said softly, "Yes, why haven't you come home yet?" Aunt Xue next door 23

I turned back and pointed to a piece of houses behind me: "I have a good friend who lives here, and I went to his house to play for a while."

"Oh." She nodded: "I won't talk to you anymore, my grandma is still waiting for me to go home and cook."

"Okay." I looked at her vegetable basket: "Why are they all vegetarian, don't you eat meat?"

She subconsciously hid the vegetable basket behind her, and said cautiously: "My grandma believes in Buddhism and is only vegetarian. I don't like meat, so I didn't buy it."

I nodded and waved goodbye to her.

When they got home, Zhang Xueyan said reproachfully, "Did you study abroad? You just came back now."

"No, our teacher won't hold back classes now." I said to myself, "It's not like you don't know that I like to go out to play. Anyway, I have already finished my homework at school."

"In the past, I couldn't control you. You can play as you like." Zhang Xueyan said solemnly: "But from today on, you have to go home obediently as soon as school is over. Your father gave me custody Oh."

I pulled her arm coquettishly: "Aunt Yan, I know I was wrong. I must go home early in the future."

"Are you so obedient?" Zhang Xueyan asked in disbelief.

I smiled and nodded: "Of course, there is such a beautiful guardian at home, I still don't want to go if you drive me out to play."

"Slick tongue." Although Zhang Xueyan verbally reprimanded her, she had a smile on her face: "Go and wash your hands, I've finished cooking for an hour, and I'm just waiting for you to go home."

During the meal, I asked: "Aunt Yan, Zhou Yatong hasn't come back for several days. When he comes back and sees us like this, he will definitely ask you for money."

In fact, I turned the corner to remind her not to give Zhou Yatong the money I gave her to lose.

Zhang Xueyan said: "No, he won't be home soon."

I laughed deliberately and said, "Why, he lost money and was sent to Shanxi to dig coal?"

Zhang Xueyan looked at me with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about? Like your father, he has gone on a long business trip, and he doesn't know when he will be back."

I clasped my hands together and prayed: "God bless, let him change his ways."

The smile on Zhang Xueyan's face disappeared instantly, and she said sadly, "It's too late."

Based on what she said in the past two days, I realized that Zhou Yatong was definitely not on a business trip, something must have happened, and it was not a small matter.

I tentatively asked, "Aunt Yan, can you tell me about him?"

Zhang Xueyan said in a depressed mood: "Didn't I tell you yesterday, you will naturally know. I can't help him this time... My only task now is to take good care of you. You have to listen to me." Say it. Don’t make me angry all day long like Zhou Yatong did.”

I nodded, comforting her and said, "After dinner, shall I do the dishes today?"

Zhang Xueyan said: "There's no need to be dizzy, let's go out for a walk together in a while."

We went out, and when we were in the yard, we met an aunt in the yard.She walked up with a smile, and said with concern: "Xueyan, I heard that Zhou Yatong of your family... the rumors that have been circulating in the yard these two days can't be true for half a decade or ten years? His father, Deputy Director Zhou is It's not like staying in it for a lifetime...""

"I don't know." Zhang Xueyan avoided her and walked outside.

"Auntie, what's going on?" I asked inquiringly.

The aunt showed a gloating smile: "You don't even know, I think you are a fool when you study. Something happened to your father and his unit." Then she increased her voice: "It's all done by that stinky mouse!" Good thing. Your father, Director Shen, is such a good person, and he was also implicated."

I was dubious and caught up with Zhang Xueyan to ask whether the matter was true or not.

Zhang Xueyan walked with her head down, without saying a word.I knew it was true, and when I thought of my adoptive father's sudden return home that day and the arrangements for me and Zhang Xueyan, I became terrified.

I said, "Aunt Yan, just answer me with one question. Does my dad have to go to jail too?"

Zhang Xueyan still did not speak, but suddenly shed tears.My repeated questioning finally made her squat down and cry out.At that moment, I thought the sky was going to fall down.Her crying has already told me the seriousness of the matter, and it is almost impossible for the adoptive father to go to jail.

I was originally pampered and pampered, but when I thought that I would have no support in the future, and was far away from the only relative, I also cried with her.

"Don't cry." Zhang Xueyan wiped away the tears on her cheeks, turned around and hugged me and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you."

I retorted: "It doesn't matter, my father is not the head of the government, and he is in jail. What will I do in the future? My parents are gone, my adoptive mother is gone, and now I don't even have my adoptive father."
