Yingyue was equally puzzled.

"Huo Cheng, which one is that?"

Is it a cheongsam?

Her sweet voice carried a hint of curiosity.

The man, who was always cold to his younger siblings, softened his tone considerably at this moment.

"Um."

"You think it looks great too, don't you?"

Yingyue's voice was excited.

Huo Cheng gave a soft "hmm" again.

"Yingyue looks good in anything."

"Hehe, I like it too! How about I wear it for you to see later?"

"I'll wear it later."

"Huh? Why?"

Yingyue did not understand.

Huo Cheng explained very seriously, "We have to do it in order. First, wear the clothes you bought at the department store."

"Oh, I see! First come, first served, right?"

Yingyue was very obedient. "I know I have to follow the order when I get dressed."

Huo Cheng squeezed her hand, and his mood improved considerably.

The two left while talking.

The brother and sister who remained in the living room had a wide range of expressions on their faces.

My inner feelings were so complex that they defied explanation!

Huo Qing turned her head stiffly, looking at Huo Yan as if she had seen a ghost. "Brother blames me for corrupting Yueyue, but isn't he actually the worst one?"

He's secretly passionate, yet stubborn!

Huo Yan dared not side with his sister and make any comments about his elder brother.

Huo Qing didn't get to complain about her older brother for long.

The phone rang at home.

There's no need to guess who called.

Huo Yan originally wanted to make fun of his sister, but he suddenly discovered a very tragic truth.

That means the eldest brother has a childhood sweetheart.

Although she's a bit slow-witted, she's still a living person, a legitimate woman.

His younger sister was already engaged and had a fiancé; they were just waiting for her to graduate from vocational school so they could get married...

So, out of the three siblings in the family, he became the only one left all alone?

Realizing this, Huo Yan looked up and let out a long wail.

He's so pitiful, he's really so pitiful!

I can't stay at home anymore, I need to go back to school, I need to go back to school right away!

………

A young nanny came to work for the Huo family.

No one knows who started the rumor, but the news spread throughout the entire compound.

Some people are envious of the Huo family.

Why should all the children, even those without jobs, be sent to the countryside?

When it came to the Huo family, they became an exception?

Putting aside the eldest brother Huo Cheng, who broke his leg, the second brother went to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, and the third brother studied at a health school. Why should they not stop their classes and go to the countryside?

Furthermore, in this era where everyone admires hardship, they openly hired a nanny.

Good heavens, this is capitalist behavior!

Some people were unhappy, but they also felt that they had caught the Huo family in a compromising situation.

They secretly reported the matter to the neighborhood committee, the educated youth settlement, and the committee.

We want them to come and teach the Huo family a lesson.

Why should they be allowed to enjoy special privileges?

Yingyue became obsessed with shuttlecock kicking the day before yesterday. Huo Cheng helped her set up the shuttlecock, and she played it for two consecutive days.

Once she had mastered all the basic kicks—horizontal kick, vertical kick, side kick, and backflip kick—she lost much of her interest.

Huo Cheng sat in his wheelchair, reading a book under the eaves.

My gaze occasionally lingered on the people playing in the yard.

Seeing her squatting on the ground with little interest, poking at the feathers on the shuttlecock with her fingers, he closed his book.

"Yingyue, come here."

"Okay! Sure!"

Upon hearing the sound, Yingyue immediately stood up, grabbed the shuttlecock, and ran to Huo Cheng.

"Huo Cheng, did you go out to play?"

The little Pixiu is lively by nature and prefers to play outside.

Huo Cheng took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Feeling bored? Want to go out?"

"Can we go out?"

When Yingyue heard that she could go out, her eyes lit up and she looked very bright.

Huo Cheng's expression softened unconsciously. "It's not very good outside right now, and there's not much to do outside. How about we take a walk around the compound?"

"OK!"

Yingyue has no preference regarding where she goes.

As long as you're not at home all day, it's fine.

After she agreed, she reached out to push Huo Cheng's wheelchair, preparing to take him for a walk in the courtyard to see what new toys the children had.

She asked Huo Cheng to do it for her when she got back.

Before they even left the house, they heard unfamiliar voices at the door.

"Is anyone home? Is anyone there? Open the door."

Yingyue tilted her head and looked at Huo Cheng.

Huo Cheng asked Yingyue to push him to open the door.

"Oh, okay."

When Huo Cheng opened the door and saw the person outside wearing a shirt and a red armband, he knew what was going on.

We know why they came.

"What's going on here, comrades?"

Even though they guessed it, you couldn't tell anything from their facial expressions.

Du Yutao looked at Huo Cheng in the wheelchair and guessed his identity.

Huo Cheng was wearing a faded white shirt and black trousers, with a thin blanket draped over his legs, obscuring what was underneath.

After thinking for a moment, Du Yutao explained his purpose.

“Someone reported that your family is not cooperating with the policy and is not allowing your children to go to the countryside.”

"We've come here specifically to check if this is true."

Du Yutao is a new member of the committee. Today he heard someone report that the Huo family has problems.

The other party spoke eloquently and logically.

He had just joined the committee and wanted to catch a big shot to demonstrate his power.

So without saying a word, he brought his people over.

He brought two people with him. When they saw Huo Cheng sitting in a wheelchair and Ying Yue standing there looking silly, they wanted to force their way in to check on her.
