C8 Chapter 8

Hu Donghai knew nothing about the current situation of the Hou family. He was afraid of touching the Hou family, so he didn't dare to ask outside. The best way was to wait for his nephew. When he was in a good mood, he would ask him to ask around on the way to the Third Factory.

Ever since Hu Donghai dug out the box, Xiaocan's attitude had become even colder. Xiaocan gave a negative evaluation of his uncle who had suddenly intruded into his life. After being imprisoned for a long time, his brain was already damaged.

Other than receiving a call and going out to unlock the door, Xiaocan basically stayed in his own room. When it was time to eat, he ordered take-out and also ordered a serving for Hu Donghai, but he could not say a word or two in a day.

Xiaocan only wanted to be a free bird, which meant that this child treated money like dirt. This was deeply ingrained in Hu Donghai's heart. But a small bird should let go of itself. What was the difference between being locked up in the house and a bird in a cage every day?

Hu Donghai had been an old bird in a cage for twenty-five years. It was hard to understand how his nephew would compete with the computer in the house every day. He already knew that the thing was called online games. The moment Xiaocan put on the headphones, his soul went to another world.

His nephew's family environment had affected his personality since he was young. He was stubborn and lazy, but at the same time, he had extraordinary skills. This child might have suffered some kind of blow, so he did not mind hiding his talent in this small courtyard.

But Hu Donghai did not dare to say anything. Living together, the biggest moral was to not interfere with each other's private lives. This was what young people knew from the beginning.

Hu Donghai put all his energy into the renovation of the yard, working alone from morning to night. Exhaustion would make one's mind simple, and one's senses numb. He had already cleaned up the weeds by the wall and uprooted the dead trees. The problem was that the roof needed money to build a new layer of protection against the rain. He could not afford it and would not ask Xiaocan for it. Building a house was his own problem. He considered moving bricks at the construction site and saving up money bit by bit.

That night, Xiaocan received a call from an old customer. He went out to unlock the door and returned in the middle of the night. Hu Donghai was originally asleep. When he heard the noise, he got up and secretly opened the door a little. When he saw Xiaocan's appearance, he could not help but be stunned.

Under the light, Xiaocan's hair was messy. He was panting and his face was covered in sweat. Was it that tiring to open the door? Did he suffer a disaster?

Hu Donghai was a little nervous. However, Xiaocan's expression was still calm. He did not seem to be injured when he walked. Hu Donghai restrained himself and didn't dare to go out and ask.

The next morning, Hu Donghai ran in the yard as usual. He shouted, "Admit your crimes. Your future is bright..." However, he was thinking about what happened last night.

Around nine in the morning, Hu Xiaocann woke up and washed up. He ate and everything was normal.

Hu Donghai held back again and tried his best to hold back his words. He farted loudly and dissolved it.

Xiaocan went out to buy a new phone and fixed his card. When he came back, he took a bottle of lemon juice from the fridge. As he drank, he asked indifferently, "Have you never used the fridge before?"

"No. What's wrong?" Hu Donghai finally could not hold it in anymore, "Can you not turn off the lights?" Xiaocan said impatiently.

"Huh?"

"The light in the fridge. Don't turn it off. It's convenient to pick things up." Xiaocan frowned. "It'll light up as soon as the door opens. It takes a lot of electricity. The light bulb is still buzzing."

"It's not the light bulb that's buzzing... Sigh, don't turn off the light anyway." Xiaocan said.

There was a spring by the door of the old refrigerator. Uncle pressed the spring and put it on with a toothpick. The light was off. "There's also the toilet... It's sitting on the toilet. Can you not squat on it? It's dark footprints."

"I can't pull it out while sitting!" Hu Donghai said righteously. Xiaocan spat out the juice.

"Can'er, the world is dangerous. Let me teach you how to practice boxing. I will pass you the dark map. If one day you get blinded..."

"Find someone else for the fight between hooligans. This is a harmonious society!" Hu Xiaocann turned around and went back to his room.
