"Um."
Huo Jinyan entered the yard and picked up Jiang Mengning who was still sitting on the ground.
"You're such a grown-up, and you're still sitting on the ground and acting like a spoiled brat."
Jiang Mengning complained unconvincedly: "It's all your son's fault. He bullied me. Tell me, if your son and I fell into the river, would you save him first or me?"
She asked jokingly, she didn't mean anything else.
This question was not difficult for Huo Jinyan at all.
"I will definitely save you!"
Jiang Mengning's eyes lit up.
"Really? Oh, you damned bastard, I know you feel sorry for her."
Being pretentious again.
Huo Jinyan got goosebumps all over his body. How could this be so corny?
"Haowen can swim, he can climb up by himself, but you don't know. I will definitely save you."
Jiang Mengning: "...Okay, you're cruel."
Turn around and go back to the house.
Huo Jinyan: "...Isn't it good enough to save you? What did I do wrong?"
He looked at his daughter, who shook her head to indicate she didn't know.
The next day.
It was just dawn when Huo Jinyan went out first, followed by Huo Haowen.
Jiang Mengning was originally going to sleep until the military horn sounded before waking up.
Today was quite unexpected. After Huo Haowen went out, she quietly followed him out.
She really wanted to see what this guy was up to, going out early and coming back late.
After leaving the compound, he walked towards the back mountain.
Across the mountain, there is a brick kiln factory.
The brick kiln factory was already working early in the morning.
Huo Haowen walked over skillfully, pulled a cart, and started loading and unloading the embryos.
Most of the people working with him are adult men, big and strong. He is a tiny guy squeezed in the crowd, like an ant among a group of elephants, who can be crushed by just a kick.
But he worked very quickly. He quickly filled a cart with bricks and then pulled them to the kiln over there for firing.
The bricks were quite heavy, and they filled a cart. The boy was pushing and pulling it with great effort, his teeth clenched and his brow furrowed.
He was afraid of getting his clothes dirty, so he simply took off his clothes and went into battle shirtless.
There was already a deep scar on his shoulder. It was obvious that it was caused by working.
Huo Haowen works fast and runs fast. While others can pull two carts, he can pull three.
After a few times, I was already sweating profusely.
It's natural that the people who work with him are a little jealous of this little guy.
He is so young, but he works so hard. He is competing with them for work!
A very strong man jumped onto the cart while Huo Haowen was pulling it. The sudden weight made Huo Haowen breathless, and under the influence of inertia, he sat down on the ground.
A malicious laugh sounded behind him.
Huo Haowen turned around and glared at them fiercely. Without causing any trouble, he stood up and continued pulling the cart.
The prankster probably thought that bullying a child was pointless, so he continued with his work.
From six o'clock in the morning until eight o'clock, Huo Haowen finished his work this morning.
He still has to come after school in the afternoon.
"Boss, please pay me for these two days' wages. I need them."
"Okay, since you work hard, I'll make an exception for you. One brick is two cents, so you can earn two dollars a day. This is yesterday's and today's money, a total of four dollars. Take it."
"Thank you, boss."
The boy panted, took the money, put on his clothes and ran towards the town.
He walked all the way to the store selling pork.
"Boss, I'm here to pay you back. I'll pay you part of it first, and the rest later."
Li Sanwa looked at Huo Haowen. He didn't remember lending him money!
"When did you lend me money?"
"I didn't borrow it, my mother did..."
"Huo Haowen."
Jiang Mengning's voice suddenly rang out, startling Huo Haowen.
When I turned around, I saw my stepmother.
"You...why are you here?"
