Huo Yan was stunned, got up, took out a pack of things from his cabinet, walked out of the office quickly, and caught up with Ning Shuyi who was walking ahead on the first floor.
Ning Shuyi was upset and anxious at first, so he just walked quickly and didn't pay much attention to his surroundings. When he got downstairs, he realized that there was someone following him. He turned around and saw that it was Huo Yan, and he was a little surprised.
"Where are you going?" She thought that as soon as she left, there was a new task on her back.
"I'm going to help you." Huo Yan replied, "You have been living in your work unit for the past few days. Your house is in a mess and you need help."
He picked up the bag of things in his hand again: "There are also uncle's shoes and clothes. I have washed them and dried them."
"Okay, thank you then!" When Ning Shuyi thought of the state of his home before, he was not polite to Huo Yan and readily accepted his kindness.
Because they caught up with the evening rush hour, when the two of them arrived at Ning Shuyi's house, the house had been briefly dealt with. The things that Ning Shuyi had originally put on the sofa and furniture to prevent water dripping from the ceiling had been removed. Dad and Ning's mother were sitting on the sofa in the living room, frowning.
Sister Ning Shuyue was sorting out the daily necessities brought back by her parents.
Seeing that Ning Shuyi was back, Ning's mother quickly got up to greet her. Seeing that there was someone behind her daughter, she quickly recognized that it was the new colleague, and quickly greeted Huo Yan: "Little Huo is here! Oh, tell me, I'm so sorry, the house is in such a mess..."
"It's okay, I'm here to help." Huo Yan handed over the clothes and shoes he was carrying, "I borrowed uncle's clothes for temporary wear last time, and they have been washed now."
Ning's mother took the bag of clothes and shoes from Huo Yan's hand, her expression a little confused, as if she was a little confused about the situation.
Ning Shuyi had no choice but to talk about the incident when he came back and found the house flooded by water running upstairs, and also mentioned the help provided by Huo Yan.
"Shouldn't you be back in two days?" After finishing speaking, she asked Ning's mother with some doubts.
Before he finished speaking, a man walked out while making a phone call. When he hung up the phone, he looked up and saw Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan.
"Hey! Xiaoyi is back! Is this your colleague? Wait, sit down! Sorry, the house is a bit messy." Nie Guang saw his sister-in-law rushing home, stuffed the phone into his pocket, and started scrolling Shirt sleeves, "Tell me what's going on! I've only been out for a few days, how did our family end up like this!"
Fortunately, I was the one who sent my parents home today. If they came back on their own and saw the house turned into like this when they walked in, they might be so frightened!
You are the one who is busy all day and night when the work is busy, so you know that you will definitely not be able to take care of this at home. "
Ning Shuyi looked at him without saying anything. Nie Guang felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her. He quickly rolled up his sleeves and walked to Ning Shuyue: "Wife, just leave this job to me. You can accompany me." Mom and dad just sit and talk!"
Ning Shuyue was taken over by her husband and could only stand up. When she looked up and saw Ning Shuyi looking at her, she smiled at her and signaled her to greet Huo Yan: "Xiaoyi, the guests are here. As a family member, you need to greet me warmly! Let me sit down quickly, don't stand there!"
Huo Yan had no intention of sitting down. He saw Ning's father getting up and seemed to want to clean up something, so he walked over and said, "Can I help you?"
Ning's father originally wanted to be polite to him, but he turned to look at Huo Yan's size, then changed his mind and reached out to pat his shoulder: "Young man, then come with me. Uncle really needs your help with something." Help me!
Otherwise, my altitude is really not high enough. Now that I am older, I am somewhat unsafe on ladders. "
Huo Yan nodded and followed Ning's father to the back.
Ning Shuyi has not been back these days, but because the upstairs has been dealt with, the leakage has not continued. Except for a few large and small water marks on the ceiling, and the original latex paint has peeled off, everything else is fine. , finally not as wet and damp as before.
Despite this, no one has come back to live for many days, but the home still seems to be peaceful.
Feeling a little embarrassed, Ning Shuyi and her sister accompanied Ning's mother to clean up everything in the house, wiping down what needed to be wiped and tidying up what needed to be organized.
Nie Guang looked very enthusiastic in the back and kept trying to help, but he couldn't help much.
After all, he was really not very good at doing housework. Finally, he hesitated and decided to go to the other side to find his father-in-law to see if there was anything he could do to help.
With more people and greater strength, it didn’t take much effort to clean up the house. Ning’s father took his son-in-law and Huo Yan upstairs to see the situation. As soon as he opened the door and saw the mess inside, his blood pressure almost dropped immediately. Jump up.
This was obviously not a task that could be dealt with in one go. After struggling for a while, it seemed that it was already past the normal dinner time.
Ning's father wanted to go to the kitchen to make some food for everyone, but Ning Shuyi stopped him.
Considering his father's age and not wanting to make him too tired, Ning Shuyi ordered a meal and delivered it without much effort.
Although the takeaway food is not as good as Ning's father's craftsmanship in terms of color, flavor, or texture, it is very comfortable to have a warm meal when you are tired and hungry.
After eating, Ning's mother made tea, and several people sat in the living room, chatting while eating.
"You kid! Ever since you were little, you have always reported good things but not bad things!" Ning's mother looked at the thick black circles under her little daughter's eyes and criticized her, but in fact she felt distressed. "You can still bear it this time." How big! How dare you hide such a big thing from us!
I heard Xiao Huo say just now that you have been living in the workplace these days?
How can I have a good rest? It’s just nonsense!
If you had told me and your dad what was going on at home earlier, would we have come back earlier to clean up and deal with it, and you could have come back earlier and had a good rest! "
"Mom, you're thinking too much!" Ning Shuyi smiled and waved his hand, "Even if you come back and clean up our house like a palace, I won't be able to come back for those few days! I was tied up by the case. I'm in the workplace, and it's not just because of trouble at home."
"Anyway, it's your fault for not telling us!" Ning's mother glared at her, "You're still asking Xiao Huo to come over and help clean up together! You're causing more trouble for me!"
"It doesn't matter to me." Huo Yan shook his head seriously.
"Ahem." Nie Guang, who had not spoken much since finishing the meal, suddenly cleared his throat, successfully making everyone else in the living room turn their attention to him, "Dad, Mom, Our family’s losses this time are not small!”
