After installing the anti-theft windows, Shu Wan took the initiative to invite Huo Zhengye to stay for dinner.
Huo Zhengye agreed with a smile and looked at Shu Wan with tenderness.
Shu Wan dodged her eyes and went into the kitchen.
"Xixi is shy." The crow's feet at the corners of Grandma Huo's eyes spread out.
"Grandma, I'm going to be away for a while. Please take good care of yourself and Shu Wan. Don't let those brats get close to her." Huo Zhengye said.
Grandma Huo nodded and agreed, "Where are you going? There are still housework waiting for you to do."
Huo Zhengye's eyes were gentle, knowing that his grandmother was reluctant to leave him.
"Go somewhere else and come back after a while."
Grandma Huo said, "Then come back soon."
Huo Zhengye hummed softly.
After dinner, Huo Zhengye took the initiative to take on the dishwashing job. After finishing, he did not leave but started repairing things.
He fixed the small water pipe, installed the curtains, and repaired the rusty door bolt and the wobbly stool.
When Shu Wan walked out of the house and relaxed her neck, she saw the man's busy back.
Shu Wan was a little dazed. The man's back seemed to overlap with the father in her memory. When her mother was still alive, her father was also working hard at home to provide for her and her mother. Until her stepmother came... everything changed.
Shu Wan's eyes turned cold, and she turned around and went into the house.
There was a bang of the door closing, Huo Zhengye turned around, but saw only a tightly closed door.
After repairing the things, Huo Zhengye left.
At night, when Grandma Huo was washing her hands, she found that the water flow was much stronger and exclaimed, "Shu Wan, look, the water pipes at home have been repaired!"
Shu Wan was collecting clothes and hummed.
After a while, screams came from the house one after another.
"This stool doesn't shake anymore. You can even dance on it!"
"There was no creaking sound when the door was closed, and the curtains were installed!"
"Did Huo do all this? He's quite a capable guy."
Grandma Huo excitedly shared it with Shu Wan. Seeing that Shu Wan didn't react much, she couldn't help but ask, "These are all fixed, aren't you happy?"
Shu Wan pulled the corner of her mouth, "Nothing."
"Look, not only has everything been repaired, but the house is also cleaned to a shine." Grandma Huo praised over and over again.
Shu Wan interrupted her, "Grandma, what do you want to eat tonight?"
"I want to eat Chinese cabbage and tofu and..."
When Xu Yang heard that Huo Zhengye was going to carry out a mission, he immediately went to his door.
"Old Huo, do you really want to go?" Xu Yang asked.
"Um."
"During the time I'm away, please take good care of Shu Wan and grandma. Also, please look after Huo Miaoyue. If I'm lucky enough to come back, you'll be doubly grateful. If I can't come back..." Huo Zhengye said in a deep voice.
"The success rate of this mission is less than 10%. Why do you have to go? There is still a chance to regret it. Hurry up and talk to Political Commissar Lou." Xu Yang said anxiously.
"I have made up my mind." Huo Zhengye's eyes were firm.
Xu Yang said dejectedly, "Okay, but you must come back safely."
"I will." Huo Zhengye nodded heavily.
"Cousin, are you leaving?" an unbelievable voice came.
Huo Zhengye and Xu Yang looked over and saw that the person who spoke was Huo Miaoyue.
She just came back, her eyes wide open, full of disbelief.
"Your cousin is going on a mission. I will take good care of you during this time." Xu Yang comforted.
