Chapter 177 Showing Off
Ya Ya didn't understand. She opened her eyes wide and asked in confusion, "Daddy, why? Why don't you recognize me?"
The little girl looked so pitiful that even Huo Chunyan couldn't bear it. She used to like Ya Ya very much, and the child was innocent and shouldn't have had to go through all this. But there was nothing they could do; things had already come to this, and they couldn't acknowledge Ya Ya anymore.
Howard lowered his eyes: "Go with your grandmother."
He didn't explain much, after all, Ya Ya was just a child and couldn't understand at all. She would naturally understand everything when she grew up.
The mistake was made by Feng Xiuhe, but Ya Ya has to pay the price.
But there's nothing we can do; sometimes that's just how fate is.
Howard sympathized with Ya Ya, but he was not a saint and could not pay for Ya Ya's future.
Ya Ya opened her mouth, wanting to ask something, but Feng's mother pulled her over: "Alright, you're useless too. Since no one wants you, just leave."
She glared at Howard and said angrily, "Howard, you don't even want a daughter that's given away for free. I hope you won't regret it later."
Howard remained silent, his expression indifferent.
Mrs. Feng left unhappily.
Seeing this, Huo Chunyan felt a mix of emotions: "Brother, I'm so glad you didn't soften your heart. I was really worried that you would take Yaya in."
Howard is kind-hearted and might actually do such a thing, but although Ya Ya is pitiful, she is Feng Xiuhe's child with another man, and she absolutely cannot be taken in, otherwise Howard will become a laughing stock.
Fortunately, Howard ultimately declined.
Howard smiled and said, "What do you take me for? Of course I'll refuse."
In the afternoon, the group set off together for Shanghai.
The situation in Shanghai is better. They found an orthopedic doctor to examine Howard's leg. Although Howard's leg is broken, the doctor said it can be cured with surgery and subsequent training.
After paying the fees, Huo Chenzhou stayed in Shanghai for two days. After Huo Hua's surgery was over, he hired a caregiver to take care of him. By then, his vacation was almost over, and everyone needed to go back.
However, Howard still needs to continue recovering from his injury.
To be fair, Huo Chenzhou originally wanted to stay with him a little longer, but he had to go back.
Huo Chunyan said, "I can take care of my brother here, since I don't have a job right now anyway."
She rented a house in Shanghai and moved in with Huo's mother.
Shen Zhixia thought it was a good idea. After settling down, she and Huo Chunyan went shopping. At that time, Shanghai was still very prosperous, and there were many things for sale on the streets.
The two bought a lot of things, all of which were purchased with Huo Hua, but in the end, Shen Zhixia bought a watch.
Watches were expensive and hard to buy at that time, but Shen Zhixia had a watch voucher in her space that was about to expire, so she bought it.
Huo Chunyan asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law, is this a men's watch? Did you buy it for my brother?"
Shen Zhixia nodded: "Yes, I saw that the watch on his wrist was all torn."
Huo Chenzhou usually wore a watch, but it was very old. During the conflict in town last time, his watch cracked a little, but it wasn't actually broken and could still be used to tell time. However, it looked too shabby.
Shen Zhixia bought him one as well.
On the way back, Huo Chenzhou said, "I've already bought tickets for tomorrow. We'll go back tomorrow. If there's anything you need to buy here, you can buy it now. You won't be able to buy it after we get back."
It must be admitted that Shanghai is indeed a great place, much more prosperous than the military camp.
Shen Zhixia glanced at him and nodded: "I understand, there's nothing to buy."
After she finished speaking, she took out a watch and handed it to Huo Chenzhou: "Here, this is for you."
Huo Chenzhou was stunned for a moment and did not move for a long time.
Shen Zhixia asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"
"I like it, but honey, I already have a watch, why are you still thinking of buying me one?"
Shen Zhixia looked at the watch on his wrist with disdain: "You should just throw away this broken watch of yours, it's already rotten anyway."
As she spoke, she took off Huo Chenzhou's watch. Huo Chenzhou's watch had been repaired many times, and it looked bumpy and uneven.
To everyone's surprise, Huo Chenzhou put the watch away, saying, "Even if you don't wear it, you should put it away."
This man is usually quite generous to himself, but I didn't expect him to be so frugal at heart. He even puts away an old watch. But that's normal. Watches are different now than they are in later years. Watches are quite valuable now, and not everyone can afford to wear them.
Shen Zhixia nodded and said, "Okay, then you can wear this new one from now on."
After Huo Chenzhou realized what was happening, he put the new watch on his wrist, his face full of smiles.
This was the first time a girl had given him something, and it was a novel feeling. He couldn't quite describe the feeling, but he just felt a warm glow inside.
It's so good to have a wife.
Shen Zhixia bought a lot of small clothes on the street this time, so she went to see the two children and changed them into their new clothes.
During this time, the two children woke up and looked very happy.
These two children are not difficult to take care of, since they are almost always sleeping.
She looked at them, somewhat dazed, and suddenly thought how wonderful it was to be a child. Every day there were no worries, all she knew was to sleep, and when she woke up she would eat. Everything seemed so wonderful.
In the afternoon, Huo Chenzhou went up to Huo Chunyan, rolled up his sleeves, and rested his right hand on the table, seemingly deep in thought.
Huo Chunyan did not notice her.
The two babies woke up, and she picked them up and played with them with a smile.
"Da Bao, Er Bao, I have to take care of my brother this time, so I won't see you for a while. But don't worry, I'll be back soon," Huo Chunyan said reluctantly.
She has been taking care of the two children since they were born, and they have developed feelings for each other. Now, the thought of leaving them for so long makes her feel very sad.
Huo Chenzhou took the child and deliberately showed off the watch.
Huo Chunyan noticed this time and said, "Brother, this is a watch your sister-in-law bought for you. She spent a long time choosing it."
Huo Chenzhou coughed and casually remarked, "Really? She spent a long time choosing?"
"Yes, I went out to buy it with her. She said your watch was broken, so she bought you a new one."
Huo Chenzhou smiled modestly and said, "She's always like this when she buys things; she just likes to pick and choose."
