After enduring the humiliation for five days, An Ran’s father was finally able to send Xia Kun away, the gongcai pig.

He was very resentful about Xia Kun, but he still liked the lively and cute Xia Ke. He kept talking and laughing with Xia Ke when he parted to avoid the embarrassment of needing to say goodbye to Xia Kun.

"Don't hurry to drive the bus, you're waiting for me..."

An Ran appeared outside the house with two bags of things. An Ran’s father was panicked, “You won’t want to go to their house for the New Year, right?”

"Dad, what are you thinking! There are many people during the Chinese New Year, so I'll send them to you."

"Then what are you carrying in your bag?"

"Just a little gift prepared by mom and me." An Ran muttered and turned around.

"I haven't officially met my parents, what festival should I give you? - No, Xia Kun lost to me basketball, so you can't be with him."

"You are so embarrassed to mention that matter! Xia Kun doesn't know how many balls you have given you, so I'm really ashamed." Lin Anran didn't take his father's last duel seriously at all, "Okay... there are many people during the New Year, let's set off quickly."

In fact, Xia Ke doesn't have a long chance to chat with An Ran. After all, the pressure of preparing for the exam is quite high. On the way to the bus station, Xia Ke opened up and left his brother aside. As he talked with An Ran, the topic was on Yang Yaqing.

"Sister An Ran, you are under such a great pressure to compete now. Is this really appropriate to let that Sister Yaqing get along with you?"

"Although your brother is a scumbag, he doesn't love each other when he sees each other. He said that he doesn't feel anything about Yang Yaqing, so he won't develop a relationship with her."

"Well... do you believe my brother so much," Xia Ke stuck out his tongue, "I know, my brother is a very reluctant person. He rarely tells his true feelings in front of others. Sometimes I don't know what he is thinking."

"Yes..." Lin Anran smiled and shook her head, "But when the two of them get along, trust is also a very important part. If they can't even do this, it's hard to say they like it very much."

Xia Ke couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth as she listened to what An Ran said.

"My brother is such a sinful man."

An Ran smiled and patted Xia Ke's head, "Don't be as fickle as your brother in the future."

"Don't worry, Sister Anran, I'm a very dedicated girl." Xia Ke said with a smile.

I just like my brother, no one can compare to my brother Xia Kun.

This year's winter is colder than last year. Xia Kun and Xia Ke's road back to their hometown is very congested, which is very different from the experience when Xia Kun was studying before.

"What's going on..." The bus kept bumping on the road.

"It's because of the high-speed rail. It's said that the high-speed rail station in Hongmei County will pass through our township, and then the land prices will rise slowly."

"The land price has risen, what about our fish pond?"

"Haha, brother, you are driving such a powerful kid. Are you determined to be the leader of the monster thief group who saves the world? Why are you still thinking about getting rich overnight?"

"Just ask casually," Xia Kun said, "But the fish pond should be considered agricultural land in principle. If we sell it, no one can build a house on it."

"Yes, but that guy Xia Xingliang has been looking for someone outside to rely on his connections, and wants to sell the lost fish pond at a high price..."

“…”

Xia Kun looked at his sister who looked dissatisfied, "You have a fight with our dad again?"

"Yeah." Xia Ke nodded, "He took the scholarship you earned from graduating from college and invested again. Now the year is over and I haven't seen half a cent. Last time I went home, my mother told me about these things, so I said a few words to him, and then the argument started."

"So you didn't go home on National Day?"

Xia Ke nodded, "Sister Anran's home is so comfortable... Why should I go back and get angry with my father?"

Xia Kun only contacted his family once a month, which is very low among college students. He really has nothing to talk to with his family.

Xia Kun's father Xia Xingliang basically didn't care how Xia Kun lived outside. He focused on the fish pond business; his mother was also an unintentional housewife, and he called to ask about Xia Kun's recent food and clothing. When Xia Kun asked about things at home, she always said it was okay.

Xia Kun and Xia Ke returned home and saw a middle-aged uncle sitting and smoking at the door of Xia Kun's house. After seeing this, Xia Ke subconsciously hid behind Xia Kun. The middle-aged uncle looked familiar with Xia Kun and stood up and walked forward, "You are Xia Xingliang's son Xia Kun, right?"

Xia Kun nodded, "Uncle... Are you doing something?"

"Do you have a phone call for your dad? I have something to do with you?"

"Well...is he not at home?"

"I'm not here, I've been squatting at your house for several days... Where can people go for this New Year?"

Xia Kun tried to call his father, but the caller ID was turned off.

Xia Kun will no longer try to make calls, "Uncle, just say it, how much money my dad owe you."

"Hey, your child... your child is still--"

"I'm not a child," Xia Kun said lightly, "Tell me how much money my dad still owe you. He is hiding from you like this. He must have no money to pay you back. I have some savings, so it depends on how much I can pay back."

The uncle thought about it and finally took out a wrinkled IOU from his pocket, "Baby, it's not that I'm going to make things difficult for you, you are the pride of our Zhulin Township. Your uncle is here at the school banquet, but your dad is really..."

Xia Kun took the IOU and looked at it, "Fifty thousand, right... How much is the total interest?"

"That's all the interest. Your father asked me to pay dividends at the beginning, but I wanted to take back the money... If your child can't afford this money, it's still--"

Xia Kun took out his phone and tried for a while, checked the balance in the account, "I will transfer 20,000 yuan to you first. Please make a record on your IOU. Once I have collected all the other money, I will return it to you as soon as possible."

"Hey! OK... You are indeed a promising child... Oh, I'm sorry to ask you to pay back the money during the Chinese New Year... I really feel sorry for our family... I've really been unable to get into trouble recently. My second son is running a company outside and has lost more than 2 million yuan in loans. Now the police are still looking for him everywhere--"

"Uncle, please send me your account, I'll transfer you online."

"The account is my phone number, I'll help you lose-"

Xia Kun looked at the uncle entering the password there, then asked, "Uncle, do you know how much money my dad owe outside?"

"I dare not say this explicitly... but relatives and friends should have borrowed it once. In September, your father said he wanted to expand breeding and other things to bring us into the gang. We lent him money for your part, so he contracted dozens of acres of fish ponds. He was originally very prosperous, but he didn't know that someone later reported that there was a problem with the property certificate of the fish pond you father had. The village took back all the newly contracted fish ponds you father could not put in the previous fish ponds, and later a large area died, which caught up with the cold of winter this year..."

The middle-aged uncle left anxiously with his cell phone in his arms. Xia Ke held the corner of his brother's clothes tightly, played with the newly bought flat fruit 11 in his hand, and slowly started sobbing.

"Don't cry, A Ke."

Xia Kun bowed and wiped away the tears from A Ke's face, "Your brother is already grown up now. No matter what happens, as long as your brother is here, our family will not collapse easily."
