It seems that he has failed in his duty as a father!
Sigh helplessly.
"I'll give your mother the same thing. I didn't care enough about you before. In the future, I will make it up to you."
Huo Haowen took the money, but he did not feel the joy of a child receiving pocket money.
Instead, I became more worried.
It seems that his stepmother must be angry with him.
He still wants to slap himself now.
Why did you just blurt out that your stepmother owed money?
Why!
What should I do now?
After leaving his father's room, Huo Haowen kept lingering at his stepmother's door, not daring to go in.
Jiang Mengning came out and almost bumped into someone.
"Oh, you scared me!"
Huo Haowen looked at his stepmother nervously: "What are you going to do!"
"What am I doing? I'm taking a shower! What else can I do?"
"Oh, then I'll go get you some water."
He quickly went to the kitchen, brought hot water to the bathroom, and prepared the bath water.
Very attentive.
"Well, the water is ready, go wash!"
He handed the towel to Jiang Mengning respectfully.
Jiang Mengning snorted in amusement. This guy wanted to apologize but was too embarrassed, so he proved it with his actions.
What an awkward child.
She took the towel and went into the shower room.
"Thanks, help me get some bath water."
After receiving this thank you, Huo Haowen smiled happily.
The fact that his stepmother can still talk to him proves that she is no longer angry.
That’s good, that’s good. If his stepmother ignored him today, he wouldn’t be able to sleep all night.
"Well, I have my final exam in two days. Actually, I've been studying very hard recently. I'm sure I'll do well this time and won't embarrass you."
Trying to make my stepmother happy by studying hard.
Jiang Mengning's voice came.
"Really? Good luck then."
Huo Haowen was in a good mood and returned to his room with his hands behind his back.
The next day.
Jiang Mengning still woke up to the sound of the horn.
I stretched myself and opened my eyes. Outside the window, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear.
Another beautiful day.
But she seemed to have gotten used to being woken up by the horn, and she didn't know if she would be able to get used to it without this sound in the future.
When I got up from the bed, Nian Nian was already up and brushing her teeth.
Seeing his mother, the little guy shouted happily, "Mom, I didn't sleep in today."
The little girl's mouth was full of bubbles, and she was so cute when she spoke.
"That's great. How about I tell you a story after we finish eating?"
"good."
After breakfast, the two moved chairs to the yard and began to tell stories.
The temperature in the morning is very comfortable. The sun is not very strong, and it feels warm when it shines on people.
Near noon, two people came to the gate of the military district.
"Officer, please excuse me for a moment. We are looking for Jiang Mengning."
The people who came were none other than Mrs. Bai and Bai Huiru.
"Who are you to her?"
Bai Huiru said, "We are very good friends. We are from the town, and our family..."
Only after he introduced himself did the soldiers guarding the gate relax their vigilance.
"Wait a moment, I'll go get someone."
Just then, he met Huo Jinyan halfway: "Captain, there are two people outside the door looking for your wife."
"knew."
He was originally going to go home, but he had to turn back and bring people in.
He saw unfamiliar faces. He didn't recognize these two people in his memory.
I think they are friends Jiang Mengning made outside.
After verifying the information, he led his men into the military area.
"Come with me!"
"Okay, thank you very much, officer."
Mrs. Bai took Bai Huiru and followed Huo Jinyan.
The military district was heavily guarded, with soldiers walking with their heads held high coming and going.
Mrs. Bai couldn't help but ask Huo Jinyan.
"Comrade officer, you know Jiang Mengning, right?"
"Um."
Huo Jinyan gave a brief "hmm" and didn't want to continue the conversation.
He is a slow-warm-up type and is quite cold towards strangers.
"Then do you know who she married? I heard she married a divorced man with two children. What's his situation like? Is he old?"
Huo Jinyan: "...Well, it's quite big!"
Mrs. Bai and Bai Huiru's eyes were filled with anxiety.
Mrs. Bai slapped her thigh in anxiety, "Oh, I was saying that the girl married an old man. What a pity! Such a beautiful girl, how could she have such a miserable fate!"
Bai Huiru's eyes immediately became moist.
"Well, sister Beauty is so pitiful."
Huo Jinyan: "..."
Mrs. Bai did not give up and continued to ask: "Comrade officer, what is that man's temper like?"
" generally."
"Oh, he's old and bad-tempered, and he must not be that good-looking either. Meng Ning is really having a hard time."
Mrs. Bai couldn't help wiping away her tears as she spoke.
"Forget about the past, but if that man continues to abuse her in the future, I will definitely persuade Meng Ning to divorce him. She's such a good girl, even after the divorce, I can help her find a good one, who's much better than an old man."
Huo Jinyan: “…” He didn’t dare to say anything.
Duan Xiaowu followed not far behind them and listened to everything they said.
He wondered to the people around him, "Is that old, ugly, and bad-tempered guy our leader?"
"Uh...it seems so, but it was the captain himself who admitted it."
Duan Xiaowu: "...Why would he insult himself like this?"
"I don't know, I just think that the girl following behind the leader is so pretty! Hehe..." He drooled like crazy.
