Chapter 38 "The Kite Runner" 10 This family is not a yangjian person
Bai Luo followed He Houzi into the old house of the He family.

This is a three-story mansion located in a wealthy area, and its exterior decoration style is close to Chinese Hui style.Blue bricks and black tiles, with high eaves and teeth.

After entering the door, Bai Luo found that the decoration inside the house was also Chinese-style.There are ebony cabinets, rosewood coffee table, and thick curtains half-blocking the bright light from the window.The whole house is dimly lit, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

A middle-aged man with a goatee and a black silk Tang suit came out with a smile, half of his face was swollen, and he didn't look like a good person.

Beside him was a young and beautiful woman with a protruding figure and delicate makeup on her face.

He Houzhi said: "A Yueduan, this is my father He Jiang. This is my aunt Liu Haitang."

Bai Luo lowered his eyebrows and greeted his uncle honestly.

He Jiang looked at her with a beaming smile and said, "This girl is so cute. She looks much prettier than in the photo."

But the aunt said: "Although this little girl looks quite honest, her family background is not very good. Her father heard that she is quite promiscuous."

He Jiang clicked his tongue: "Begonia! Don't say that about him!"

Bai Luo pretended not to hear Haitang's words, and thanked meekly.

Behind the man was a gloomy-looking woman in a dark green velvet cheongsam.

He Jiang: "A Yueduan, this is my mother."

Bai Luo honestly called Auntie again.

Mrs. He looked very proud, she only nodded slightly.

He Jiang said with a smile: "Sit down for a while. Auntie is cooking the rice soon. Ah Yueduan, you can try our auntie's cooking in a while."

Bai Luo nodded, and followed He Houzhi to sit on the Chinese-style ebony sofa in Old He's house.She saw several oil paintings hanging on the wall, some had specific shapes, while others were just abstract large spots of color.But the color spots are not ugly, and some of them can vaguely reveal the artistic conception of misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River or plum blossoms in the snow, which is quite beautiful.

He Jiang watched Bai Luo look at the painting, and began to proudly introduce it to her.

"Yue Duan, this one is "Treading the Snow and Looking for Plum Blossoms", which I won an international award in 13. This is the most proud abstraction I have drawn so far. In order to paint this painting well, I made a special trip back to the I went to the country and sketched in a plum garden in Jiangsu for a whole year. Later, this painting was taken by a wealthy businessman, and he offered 3 million yuan to buy this painting, but I didn’t agree.”

Bai Luo: "Wow, this painting is not simple."

He Jiang waved his hand, his brows were full of complacency.

"Hey, that's true. The artistic conception is the most important part of this painting, and ordinary people really can't draw it with such vigor."

Bai Luo praised repeatedly.

After a while, Bai Luo looked at a photo with a black frame facing the door, and leaned over to look at it again.

It looked like a family portrait, with a dark green landscape painting in the background.The whole family stood together, although everyone had a smile on their faces, but the smile was always a bit fake, which made people uncomfortable.

The photo shows a large family, some people Bai Luo has seen before, but some have not.

Standing at position C are He Jiang and Mrs. He.Beside He Jiang stood the young and beautiful Begonia.

Behind is a group of juniors.He Houzhi He Renzhi, a young man he had never seen before, and a little girl, that should be He Yuezhi, He Houzhi's younger brother and Yang Zhi's younger sister that Bai Luo had heard about.

He Houzhi said: "Yuezhi and Yangzhi are the children of my aunt Haitang. My aunt is actually... not just my aunt."

Bai Luo let out an oh, understood.

He Houzhi said: "These two are out for a walk right now. You should be able to see them when they come back for dinner later."

Bai Luo nodded, carefully memorizing the faces of everyone in the photo.But with such a large number of people, how could they just remember it?
Bai Luo's temples began to throb slightly.

......................................................

Bai Luo and the He family sat on the sofa and waited for the two children to come back.

The meal was ready long ago, and my aunt put it under the heat preservation cover to keep it warm.

After waiting for half an hour, the two children still did not come back.

Mrs. He said: "Why don't we have dinner first? Ah Yueduan came to our house for the first time today, so don't make people wait."

Haitang said: "Hey, as long as your daughter-in-law is from the He family, my two children are not from the He family? After a while, the two of them will come back and eat our leftovers, will they feel better?"

Mrs. He was upset: "You pick on me again! I'm not saying that I really don't want to wait for those two children, the main reason is that the whole family is still waiting here! You can't be too ignorant, right?"

Haitang pouted, and patted He Jiang's sleeve lightly.

"Lao He, she is cruel to me again~"

He Jiang felt very helpless towards this stupid and domineering sister-in-law.

"How can this be fierce? My wife just said a few words to you. Alright, Haitang, let's just wait for those two children."

So the whole family sat on the sofa again and waited for the two unlucky children.

Another half an hour passed, and the two children still didn't come back.

Mrs. He was impatient to wait, and said to He Jiang: "Jiang, why don't we eat first. Today is the first time A Yueduan came to our house, so don't make the guests wait..."

He Jiang thought for a while and said, "Then let's eat first. Haitang, tell the children to come back early next time."

Haitang pouted unhappily: "Old He, you too, for an outsider, you didn't even wait for your own children."

He Jiang didn't say a word, and ordered the nanny and auntie to set the table and serve the food.

The food of this rich family is really delicious.

It's just that halfway through the meal, the door of the He family was suddenly slapped loudly.

The auntie nanny hurried over to open the door, and a pair of little brothers and sisters rushed in directly from the door.The big one is fifteen or six, and the small one is twelve or three.The young man has dreadlocks, and the young girl is wearing clothes that don't match her age. They all look a little crazy.

"Dad, we're back!"

"Hey, did you start eating first?"

The little girl said to herself, walked to the table, without washing her hands, reached out and grabbed a chicken leg and gnawed it.

"Auntie, the chicken legs you stewed today are unpalatable! Why is it still sweet and sour? Don't you know that I like clear stewed ones?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Bai Luo.

"Is this my elder brother's girlfriend? The one who made his debut by scolding his own father for writing a book?"

He Jiang was a little embarrassed.

"What are you talking about Yueyue! Hurry up and call sister-in-law!"

He Yuezhi pouted lightly.

"I don't want to call her sister-in-law! Isn't she just the kind of woman who uses our family's money to save seeds for my eldest brother to have children! Why should I call her sister-in-law!"

He Jiang pulled his face down, and slapped He Yuezhi's small face the size of a palm.

He Yuezhi screamed and cried.

"Dad, you hit me! You actually hit me! Wuwuwu, what are you doing!"

The whole family became flustered and hurried to persuade them.

Bai Luo was also persuading him in vain, the temple throbbed again.
