Fire

Penny's smile widened. These two sentences were the conversation between them when they first met!

When they were in junior high school, they represented the school in a district competition. They were in the same school but not in the same class. It was just that Penny often ranked first in the grade, while Zachary often ranked second. After learning that it was each other, the conversation above took place.

Penny looked at Zachary with a smile on her face and said, "Handsome brother, I'm lost. Can you take me home?"

Zachary also smiled and looked at Penny, and replied, "Okay, little sister, come on, brother will take you home."

Zachary reached out and grabbed Penny's hand, and Penny let Zachary pull her down the mountain.

Penny finally got her long-cherished wish after so many years, so she was very nervous about Zachary, and they were always close to each other.

It was not until after dinner that Zachary moved out the home stereo and projector and put them in the yard, leaving the group of energetic students to play there, that he remembered that he had something to ask Penny: "By the way, I don't even know who my father-in-law is."

Penny was very satisfied with Zachary's words "father-in-law" and said to Zachary: "My father's name is Peng Aimin."

Well, although Zachary had never heard of this name before, he could tell from the name that the future father-in-law must be an official, and at least at the municipal or departmental level, otherwise he would not be worthy of the name.

Sure enough, Penny said later: "My father is now the head of the Jiangzhou Municipal Party Committee. My father and your father are relatively familiar with each other and can be considered alumni. Back then, my father was the head of a county-level city under Yuancheng City, and your family has investments in that city, so he is quite familiar with your affairs."

Zachary nodded, thinking that before the accident, his parents were afraid that he would become a playboy, so they brought him up very strictly. No one in the school knew his family background, and only those who had channels to understand his family situation at the time knew some of the circumstances!

Zachary suddenly remembered something and said, "That's not right. Your father is the head of the municipal party committee, and you drive such a cool car. Aren't you afraid of disappointing your father?"

Penny smiled and said, "My grandmother's family is very rich. My mother is the youngest and the most loved by the elders in the family. I am my grandmother's youngest granddaughter, and they also dote on me a lot. That car was given to me after I graduated!"

Zachary suddenly realized. Penny continued, "You must have never heard of my grandfather, because he is from Wu Province. He started doing business after the reform and opening up. He was in industry at the beginning, and later he also entered the real estate, Internet and so on, but he is not famous."

Zachary then said "Oh".

Penny thought for a moment and continued to say to Zachary, "My dad said that something bad is going to happen to that guy."

Zachary's whole body straightened when he heard that. He turned his head stiffly to Penny and said, "Really?"

Penny nodded and said, "Yes, my dad got a little drunk that day and told me that at the dinner table!"

Veins popped out on Zachary's forehead and he clenched his hands tightly. He didn't even feel the skin on his palms being broken by his nails. Penny looked at Zachary a little worriedly. After a long while, Zachary let out a breath, and then he relaxed his whole body and said, "It's good, it's good!"

Only then did he feel his palms... It hurt a little. He put it in front of his eyes and saw that his palm was scratched by his own nails. Penny said with heartache and complaint: "It's been so many years, and you still don't know how to take good care of yourself. Besides, now I am here. Even for me, you have to take good care of yourself!"

Zachary looked at Penny lovingly, running around for him, and said, "It's great to have you!"

Penny smiled happily and said, "Then you should listen to me more!"

Zachary nodded vigorously and said, "Well, listen to my wife!"

Penny smiled and pinched Zachary's waist! He said jokingly, "If you listen to me, then kill the big rooster that despises me and make soup for me tomorrow. I'm almost mad at it today!"

Zachary laughed and said, "I'll catch it tomorrow and let it apologize to you!"

After playing for a while, the two sat together.

Looking at the students who were barbecuing and using KTV at home in the yard, and looking at Penny who was leaning on him, Zachary felt peaceful and thought to himself: "Penny said today that he had let go of the past, and told me that the man was about to get retribution. Isn't he trying to persuade me to let go of the hatred in my heart and live a good life!"

He thought again that he had already despaired of this matter back then, otherwise, he would not have thought of not returning to this city.

After dinner, the group of campers took all their equipment to the camping site they had found in the afternoon. Before leaving, Yang Haiyang deliberately raised the camera in his hand to Zachary, saying that this was the latest infrared camera he bought for more than 100,000 yuan, and see if he could take some shots of wild animals tonight.

Yang Haiyang also told Zachary proudly that he was also a well-known outdoor UP host at Station B, because he took a lot of videos when camping, and he took pictures of wild animals several times. Once in Sichuan, he actually took a picture of a wild panda breaking into their camp in the middle of the night, which made him a little famous.

Zachary smiled and said to him, this place is called Jiulongkeng, and in ancient times, the locals liked to call big snakes big dragons. Maybe you can take pictures of a few super big snakes at night, and you will become famous all of a sudden!

When Yang Haiyang heard him say this, goose bumps suddenly appeared on his skin. He quickly spat a few words and asked Zachary not to talk nonsense. Maybe he was afraid that Zachary would say something nonsense again, so he turned around and ran away. Zachary laughed behind him!

When the students returned to school the next day, maybe they really thought it was very good. Yang Haiyang paid the money very readily. Looking at the minibus going away, Zachary said to Penny beside him: "Ten thousand a day, it seems that things like homestays are very promising!"

Penny rolled her eyes at him and said, "You have a beautiful idea. You are such a shabby place, unknown, and only a few students come here for novelty. Who else will come?"

Zachary said speechlessly: "Then who asked me to run a homestay in the first place?"

Penny looked around and said, "Who? Who asked you to run a homestay? Tell me who is so ignorant and gives bad ideas!"

Zachary smiled at Penny, who looked innocent. He knew that this guy wanted to find an excuse to come to his house at first, but now he can live here openly, so he naturally doesn't want others to join in the fun. Her family conditions definitely don't look down on such a small amount of money!

Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand and pinched Penny's face, saying, "If I don't make money, how can I support you!"

Penny's eyes narrowed when she heard this, and she wrinkled her nose and said, "Then I reluctantly agree with your opinion for the time being."

In the next few days, Penny didn't care about other things, and stayed in Zachary's house every day to touch the dog and play with the chicken. After being severely scolded by Zachary, the big and small Zuanfeng became very humble to Penny, which made Penny very satisfied. That's why she didn't continue to insist that Zachary kill them and make soup!

Zachary also joked that if you come to me every day, do you want your decoration company anymore? The result was a few rolls of eyes from Penny and a few pieces of tender flesh on her waist that turned blue.

However, Zachary and Penny did not expect that a few days later, Jiulongkeng would become a big fire.
