As soon as Feng Jiang finished speaking, Yan Mo chuckled and said, "Identity? Are there enough socialist successors?"

"My family, Xiaohan, has been awarded the provincial outstanding student. It's not trivial to report a tax evasion! Isn't it? Xiaohan?" After Yan Mo finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Ji Xiaohan.

Ji Xiaohan glanced at him lightly, but didn't speak.

Feng Jian didn't know about this, he stood there for a while, and was speechless for a while.

The expression on his face was unexpectedly deep, much more cautious than a moment ago.

He appears to be weighing the pros and cons thoughtfully.

Whether to pay taxes and fines on the inspected income or give the money to Ji Xiaohan.

The answer is self-evident, a normal person knows how to choose.

Ji Xiaohan didn't continue to speak, just stood there quietly and waited.

Not far from his ear, Yan Mo's hands were still on his shoulders, and he was standing leaning against him in nondescript postures, which gave people the illusion that they were very close.

Ji Xiaohan turned his head, first looked at Yan Mo's hand, then raised his eyes slightly, and glanced at Yan Mo with his usual indifferent eyes.

Yan Mo curled his lips lightly: "Well, I just don't rely on it."

Afterwards, he reluctantly took his hands away, stood up straight, and stopped leaning against Ji Xiaohan.

At the same time, he whispered something in his mouth.

"...? What?" Ji Xiaohan didn't hear clearly, it would be fine to wait for Feng Jian, thinking that Yan Mo had something to say, so he asked for the first time.

"It's nothing." Yan Mo shook his head, pursed his lips and looked at him.

Such an aggrieved appearance was hard to bear, Ji Xiaohan quickly looked away and continued to look at Feng Jian.

After such a while, Feng Jian may have figured it out, or he had other considerations.

After all, if he was really investigated, he would lose more than that.

He finally nodded and agreed to give the money to Ji Xiaohan.

"Okay, I can transfer the money to you, but in this way, our cooperation will come to an end." Feng Jian took out his mobile phone and said to Ji Xiaohan, "However, I also remind you, Ancheng I am familiar with all the galleries here, it’s the same wherever you go, don’t think I’m doing anything to you.”

No matter what Feng Jian said, if this happened, even if Feng Jian was willing, Ji Xiaohan would not cooperate with him again.

Needless to say, Ji Xiaohan nodded in agreement.

As for what he said, all the galleries in Ancheng are like this, Ji Xiaohan still doesn't quite believe it.

Ji Xiaohan watched Feng Jian transfer the money, waited for the mobile phone to send out the sound of the account reminder, and after confirming that he had successfully received the huge sum of 7000 yuan, he put away his mobile phone and prepared to go back home.

Before he left, Feng Jian added another sentence behind him: "Also, I gave you the money, I hope you don't make trouble for yourself when you go back."

This is a threat, and the person who said it clearly understands it.

Ji Xiaohan also understood very well, he never liked to make extra trouble for himself.

After listening to it, he left the gallery without even stopping, and planned not to come here again.

Yan Mo followed behind him, turned his head when he heard the words, narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, and glanced at Feng Jian.

However, before Feng Jian could react, Yan Mo withdrew his gaze and went out again.

Feng Jian watched the two go out, lowered his head, picked up his phone, and contacted his friends.

The evening wind blows, rolling up a burst of coolness.

Ji Xiaohan bowed his head, turned on his phone and sent a message to his mother, telling him that he would be late going back today, and let them eat first, without waiting for him.

After Ji Xiaohan finished sending out, he carried his schoolbag and walked a few steps along the side of the road, when he heard footsteps behind him.

He stopped again, turned around and looked at Yan Mo, his eyes were calm, but he said from a distance: "You can go home now, thank you today."

After speaking, he turned around and continued walking towards the bus stop.

Yan Mo acted as if he hadn't heard him, ignored his words, walked a few steps quickly and followed him, and said in agreement: "Go home, go home."

Ji Xiaohan stood on the side of the platform and left him, Yan Mo smiled at him when he looked over: "I also want to take this bus when I go home."

As he spoke, he took out the bus card from his schoolbag.

Ji Xiaohan looked away again.

The two stood quietly at the bus stop and waited for the bus.

It's just that it didn't last long, maybe less than a minute.

Yan Mo suddenly came over and said, "I know a gallery owner, it's better than here, do you want to try it over there?"

"No need." Ji Xiaohan replied lightly.

Yan Mo said with a smile: "That company won't come up with such crazy ideas, and it will definitely help you sell more valuable."

"No, thank you." Ji Xiaohan was still indifferent.

Yan Mo was puzzled: "Why?"

Ji Xiaohan didn't continue to speak, but just looked at the road quietly.

Even though Yan Mo helped him tonight, his attitude was different from before, not aggressive or provocative, and even enthusiastic.

But Ji Xiaohan still doesn't want to have anything to do with him in his private heart, he just wants to continue to maintain a strange and ordinary classmate relationship with Yan Mo.

Yan Mo watched Ji Xiaohan silently staring at the road with a cold expression, and suddenly, he understood what Ji Xiaohan meant.

A trace of disappointment and rare frustration appeared on Yan Mo's face. He lowered his head slightly, glanced at his feet, and then kicked the edge of the steps hard, as if he was angry and mocked himself.

However, after kicking, he saw Ji Xiaohan's shoes on the side. The uppers of the shoes were washed and turned white, and they looked very old after being worn for an unknown amount of time.

But at this moment, the originally clean upper was already a little gray after running around for a while at night.

Yan Mo stared at Ji Xiaohan's shoes in a daze until the bus stopped in front of them.

When Ji Xiaohan got into the car, Yan Mo came to his senses and followed him.

Donggu Station is one of the two major stations in Anseong. The flow of people is not small. It runs until ten o'clock in the evening and closes every day. The last bus departs at nine o'clock.

When Ji Xiaohan arrived, it was only after eight o'clock, so there was still plenty of time.

After queuing up to buy a ticket, he followed the crowd to get on the train.

Ji Xiaohan casually helped the people next to him put their luggage on the shelf, and then randomly chose a seat by the window to sit down.

He leaned back in his chair and looked out the window, just waiting to go home.

On the other side, Yan Mo followed Ji Xiaohan all the way to the station by bus, and he was standing at the ticket office of the station, flipping through his schoolbag with a troubled expression on his face.

"Young man, do you want to buy a ticket or not?" the station conductor stuck his head out of the window and asked him.

"Sister, is there a place for ICBC to withdraw money here?" Yan Mo asked with a smile when he saw the ticket sales lady asking.

Yan Mo had searched through every corner of his schoolbag, but he didn't find a penny.

There is only one bank card, which is used by his father to transfer money to him every day, and he keeps it in his small pocket.

It is inconvenient not to have a mobile phone, and you can only bring cash, so Yan Mo has to go to get the money first before buying a ticket and getting on the train.

That means, he won't be able to catch up with Ji Xiaohan in the same car.

Yan Mo glanced at the minibus in the station, and the car Ji Xiaohan was in had already started to leave.

But he couldn't help it. After thinking about it, Yan Mo still had to go to the bank to withdraw money first.

The conductor was coaxed by his "sister", and thought to himself that this handsome young man had a sweet mouth.

She looked at Yan Mo happily, and waved to the left: "There is a self-service teller machine on the left side of the lobby, it's very close, go quickly."

Yan Mo hurriedly responded.

Ji Xiaohan looked out the window, he didn't sleep.

When the car started, it happened to pass by the door. He glanced at it, and there was no one at the place where Yan Mo was originally standing.

He must have gone home, and it must be a coincidence that he got off at the station with him just now.

Ji Xiaohan glanced at it, turned around after letting go, leaned on the back of the chair, and closed his eyes to rest amidst the slight shaking of the car as the car moved forward.

It was past nine o'clock when Ji Xiaohan arrived at Qianxian Station.

As soon as he got out of the station, he saw his father sitting on the concrete platform outside the station waiting for him from a distance.

The dim light hit the father's back, dyeing the light white denim jacket with a touch of warm color.

His back is still straight, not yet bent, and his back looks resolute and powerful.

It is such a father who supports the whole family.

Maybe it was because of the sound of footsteps, but before Ji Xiaohan approached, his father suddenly turned his head. His face with a little bit of vicissitudes, he smiled when he saw him: "Are you hungry? I brought two pieces of cake."

Ji Xiaohan walked in, followed his father to the side of the road, and replied: "It's okay, I'm not hungry."

"Isn't it very hard to make up lessons this time? I think you've lost weight?" Father walked to the side of the road and unlocked the electric scooter, pulled it to the middle of the road, and signaled Ji Xiaohan to sit in the back.

Ji Xiaohan sat quietly at the back, and his father drove him in a small electric car, riding home like he did when he was a child.

"No, I'm not thin." Ji Xiaohan sat in the back and held the storage box behind the seat motionless. The car was not big, and he wanted to bend his legs, lest he would disturb his father, so that he would not be comfortable sitting. Ji Xiaohan leaned on his leg muscles to support his feet without moving, hanging on both sides of the car.

My father didn't notice anything in the front, he suddenly remembered something happy, and said: "The project I'm doing this time is coming to an end, I received part of the salary today, and I will be paid tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

This time, the wages have been paid quite a bit. After school starts in a few days, I will give you more living expenses. You don’t need to save on food and drink when you go to school, you know?I will be in my third year of high school soon, so I need to keep up with my nutrition. "

"No, I have enough to eat, give it to my sister." Ji Xiaohan replied softly.

The father said again: "Xiao Yu also asked me to give you more, your boy eats a lot."

Ji Xiaohan was silent for a while, then said: "No, I can't finish the original living expenses, it's enough."

Just at the turning intersection, my father honked the horn, and the conversation was temporarily interrupted. When the horn sound disappeared, he didn't continue to answer it.

The father and son hurried home under the quiet and comfortable lights and night breeze.

Ji Xiaohan's house is located in a relatively remote street. The small electric bike enters the alley entrance. There are two forks in the road. There are low bungalows beside the road, with mottled walls and mixed black and white tones. Don't look at the wild weeds and grass in the corner. The scattered small garbage like fruit peels and confetti seems to be a naturally formed Huizhou architectural style, simple and old, full of the atmosphere of time.

But in fact, it is all a dilapidated image created by time and the baptism of wind and sand.

At the fork, turn left and stop after a while.

The surrounding area is relatively quiet, and no one is making noise outside.

It was pitch black outside.

At this point, most of the neighbors are closed, sitting at home watching TV, and there are few people visiting.

There are only a few sporadic doors that are open and leaking a few lights.

Ji Xiaohan's family is also one of them.

The courtyard door was unlocked, and the light from the house leaked through the gap in the courtyard door, drawing a warm yellow line on the dark road, climbing up to the eaves on the opposite side before disappearing.

Like a dividing line, the entire street is divided into two.

Ji Xiaohan stood in front of the crack of the door, opened the door and walked in. As soon as he stood on the ground in the yard, his younger sister Ji Xiaoyu yelled: "Mom! Brother is back!"

She moved a small stool and sat under the eaves outside the main room, playing with the dog.

You will see Ji Xiaohan push the door in, stand up happily, trot over a few steps, hold Ji Xiaohan's arm, and say with a smile: "Brother, are you hungry? Mom made pork rib soup today, it's delicious Yes, there is also corn, which is so tender! You must like it!"

"Sparse rib soup? Didn't you say that the price of pork has increased?" Ji Xiaohan asked casually, bent slightly, and teased the dog that jumped over to pick his lap with his hand.

I haven't seen him for more than a month, and the dog wags its tail very happily at him.

Behind him, my father carried the electric scooter up two flights of stairs into the yard, and replied, "Fortunately, the price has dropped a bit in the past two days. I bought a few yuan when I came back at night."

Ji Xiaohan and his sister entered the main room together.

The main room is not big, about [-] square meters, with a large square table in the middle, covered with white tablecloths, and several chairs around it.

This is what they usually eat.

Ji Xiaohan first went to the bedroom on the right side of the main room to take a look, and found that his grandfather was still asleep.

"Xiao Han is back? Have you eaten yet?" Grandpa asked slowly, while slowly getting out of bed, putting on slippers, and walking towards the door.

"I haven't eaten yet, Grandpa, go to sleep and don't come out." Ji Xiaohan hurriedly stepped forward to support his grandpa's arm.

"Go to bed at night, I haven't eaten yet, just waiting for you to join me." Grandpa clapped his hands and walked to the table in the main room with him.

"Didn't I tell you to eat first and don't wait for me?" Ji Xiaohan helped his grandfather to sit down, and asked.

"How can that be done!" Mother was serving soup for them, and Ji Xiaoyu was serving bowls outside. Hearing this, he put down the soup bowl and said to Ji Xiaohan, "Brother, you haven't come home for so long, we must have Waiting for you to have dinner together!"

Ji Xiaohan reached out and moved the soup bowl to his grandfather, and whispered: "Grandpa, you drink first, and I will serve the rice."

After speaking, he got up and followed Ji Xiaoyu to the kitchen.

The kitchen was not big, and his father was serving food at the side, so he didn't squeeze in. Instead, he took advantage of his long arms to bring out the dishes and put them on the table.

After a few people were busy, they finally set up their meals, sat down and began to eat.

On the opposite side, my mother picked up a piece of chicken wings for Ji Xiaohan: "I learned from others. I put some cola in it and cooked it. It's quite delicious. How about you eat it?"

"Well," Ji Xiaohan picked up the chicken wings and took a bite, then smiled at his mother: "It's delicious."

"Eat more if you like it." His mother gave him two more pieces.

"School starts on September [-]st, right?" Father suddenly asked, he was using chopsticks to remove the meat from the ribs for grandpa, grandpa was old and his teeth were bad, so he couldn't eat the bones.

Ji Xiaohan nodded: "Well, the same day as my sister."

"Ah, then I will go to the school with my brother to enroll. I don't need you to accompany me." Ji Xiaoyu said to his parents while gnawing corn, and then smiled at Ji Xiaohan, seeking approval: " Brother, do you think so?"

"..." Ji Xiaohan was about to answer "Yes", at this moment, there was a knock on the courtyard door outside the main room.

At the same time as the knock on the door, there was the barking of the dog at home, but the strange thing was that the dog was quiet after barking a few times at the door.

The person who came at the door seemed to be an acquaintance.

Ji's father was still removing the meat from the ribs. When he heard the noise, he stopped his hands. He looked towards the door and said, "It's so late, who will knock on the door?"

"Is it Uncle Li next door?" Ji's mother also raised her head from the bowl and muttered, "He will come to remind everyone to lock the door recently to prevent thieves."

"Prevent thieves?" Ji Xiaohan hadn't heard his mother mention this before, and suddenly asked in doubt: "Isn't this area quite safe before, when did there be more thieves?"

Ji Xiaoyu knew about this very well. After drinking half of the soup, he put down his spoon and replied, "A long time ago, wasn't there a habitual thief in this area when we were young? The one who was arrested and jailed for several years! After a while, it was released again, wandering around all day with nothing to do, and even looked at people's homes, it seems that the mind is crooked, so recently reminded us to lock the doors and windows at night."

After hearing this, Ji Xiaohan put down his chopsticks, put his father on the shoulders who were about to get up, and said, "Dad, you continue to eat, I'll go and see if it's Grandpa Li."

After speaking, he left the table, pushed open the door of the main room, and walked into the courtyard alone.

The yard was full of moonlight, and the dog stood in a corner of the yard, looking at the door, his eyes glowing, but it was really quiet.

It's a bit weird, Ji Xiaohan thought to himself.

He walked to the door and pulled off the lanyard of the courtyard lamp. After the light was turned on, there was another knock on the door.

"Is it Grandpa Li?" Ji Xiaohan lightly picked up a wooden stick and broom placed behind the door, grabbed it backwards, and then undid the small latch of the courtyard door, before shouting: "Is that you?" ?”

No one answered outside the door, Ji Xiaohan raised the stick in his hand, slightly opened half of the door, and when he saw the person knocking on the door outside, he breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time his eyes changed.

Where is Grandpa Li outside!

However, there are no thieves!

The one outside is that annoying classmate Yan!

A classmate Yan was thinking about something and was still in a daze.

Ji Xiaohan didn't speak, and in the next second, he took two steps back and tried his hands to close the door again.
