why not

Come, and without waiting for her to say anything, she wrapped her arms around Yue Xiaolou's waist and directly hugged him down.

Yue Xiaolou sighed without knowing why, a little resigned to his fate.

Seeing an old man looking around at the edge of the field, Gu Linzong quickly jumped out of the cab and walked over with a warm smile: "Uncle, thank you Lennon, otherwise I don't know what to do."

Yue Xiaolou stood firm, his eyes were a little too late to look around, and asked curiously: "Did you really live and grow up here when you were young?"

This place is different from the bustling countryside she imagined. The land is vast and sparsely populated, and the fields are almost barren, with only weeds and wild flowers growing wildly everywhere.

Hardly anyone.

"Both Gu Linzong and I grew up with grandpa, and we can stay wherever grandpa is."

Xie Huaijin was like a worried child, afraid that she would fall if she stepped on a bad road, and held her hand, "At that time, grandpa seldom traveled on business and liked to be quiet, so he basically stayed in the house. No one came, just Concentrate on doing things."

"Oh," Yue Xiaolou instantly conjured up an image.A stern old man with a white beard and glasses, holding a newspaper under an oil lamp and wearing a mandarin jacket.In the deep house, children and grandchildren are taught to read.

By the way, he was holding a ruler in his hand.

Immediately shaking his head, he sighed that he had watched too many TV dramas, and this was not in the Republic of China.Who knew, Xie Huaijin's next sentence would be: "He taught us to read, and he still held a ruler in his hand. If you can't answer the question, hit the palm of your hand."

The corners of Yue Xiaolou's lips twitched: "..."

She asked in a low voice, "Then have you been beaten too?"

"Occasionally, Gu Linzong was often beaten. I remember that when he was six years old, he spread butter on the ruler, caught many mice and gnawed on the ruler, and finally broke the ruler. He pretended to be innocent, but was whipped by his grandfather with a cane .”

Xie Huaijin said amusedly, "It was only later that I found out that Grandpa's study is monitored."

"..."

"Gu Linzong was a little silly when he was a child. Sure enough, there are surveillance. Let me say..."

Yue Xiaolou trembled when he heard her exclamation of unknown meaning: "..."

I thought to myself, the mouse gnawed on the ruler, maybe it was planned by you behind the scenes to fuel the flames.

She opened her mouth, but before she could open her mouth, Gu Linzong who quickly chased after returning the key interrupted her, "What are you talking about?"

Yue Xiaolou didn't say anything.

Xie Huaijin told him, "I'm talking about catching mice and eating a ruler when you were young."

"..." Gu Linzong's brilliant smile froze immediately.

He showed a creepy expression, paused, lowered his voice, and turned to Yue Xiaolou, "Let me tell you, my grandpa is a little psychopathic, just like my sister, he came from the same line as my sister. You have to be careful."

Yue Xiaolou held Xie Huaijin's hand, his heart beating, and he nodded with an undefeated smile: "Thank you, then I know."

"What are you counting?" Xie Huaijin glanced at her, "Am I a psychopath?"

Yue Xiaolou ignored her, and continued to ask Gu Linzong, "When did you start preparing for the ancestor worship? Are there any rules?"

"My sister didn't tell you anything?"

"She said," Yue Xiaolou imitated in a suppressed tone, "it's nothing special."

"This... this can't be said to be wrong..."

Gu Linzong obviously stuttered, which made Yue Xiaolou nervous again. After questioning, he frowned and said: "There are actually quite a lot of rules. There is no way, you have to know how to do business, right? It doesn't matter, there is Wang Yiting Here, she is so funny..."

Xie Huaijin also bent her lips when she heard the words, "You do what I do, don't learn from Wang Yiting, it doesn't matter anything else. If you don't do well, Wang Yiting will take care of you, and you don't need to understand the complicated ones."

"Oh oh..."

Yue Xiaolou nodded again and again, feeling grateful for Wang Yiting, whom he had never met before.

grateful to you.

……

The small path went straight in, and after a few steps, it reached the gate of Xie's ancestor's house.

It is different from Yue Xiaolou's imagination.

Obviously, it was the mansion of a famous family in the past.On the typical gray and white walls of the courtyard house, there are weeds crawling along the top of the wall, and there are cracks on the vermilion gate paint.

It is not as elegant and delicate as Su's garden, and it is not exactly the atmosphere of northern courtyards.The two trees are tall and straight, lush and lush, and there are lush and prosperous weeds under the trees, and the house is hidden under the natural and simple scene.

Living here, the elderly will inevitably want to live in seclusion.

Someone opened the door for them, and walked into a section of road, in front of them was a small bridge with a pond with koi.

Going further inside is the entrance where you need to change your shoes.

"Sister is back?" Aunt Li wanted to help her carry her bag as usual, and looked at Yue Xiaolou beside her, and said with a smile, "Let's go to the restaurant, the dishes are ready."

"Where's grandpa?"

"Study, I'll call when everyone arrives."

Xie Huaijin smiled and nodded.

Except for the living room and the old man's study, which are completely Chinese-style, the rest are all normal room styles.

Yue Xiaolou looked at it without any trace, took a deep breath, his heart was pounding, and he was about to face almost all of Xie Huaijin's close relatives...

She was walking on Xie Huaijin's right, without paying attention to her surroundings.Entering the corridor in front of the restaurant, he was hit hard by someone who suddenly turned around.

"Sorry……"

Yue Xiaolou didn't react, so he apologized first and gave way.

Although she was the one who got bumped, the little girl who bumped into her was obviously more upset than she was. She almost dropped her phone to the ground, grabbed it tightly, and glared at her.

"What look are you in?"

Yue Xiaolou didn't speak.

Xie Huaijin was about to say something when she caught a glimpse of the person walking slowly in front of her, but she didn't say anything.

"Wang Yiting, what are you talking about?"

Mr. Xie came out from the other side, his tone was very light, but he didn't lower his voice, "You are a guest, is she a guest?"

Wang Yiting pursed her lips and reluctantly gave way.

Made a motion to ask her first.

Yue Xiaolou had already stepped aside.Hearing this, he didn't know how to react, so he smiled softly.

She was also not sure if she was supercilious, and she always felt that there were some puns in these simple words.

Xie Huaijin turned sideways and stood side by side with Yue Xiaolou, moved out of the way, and said leisurely: "Of course everyone is a guest in Grandpa's house. Respect the old and love the young. Yi Ting is the youngest and wants to go there early. Xiaolou asked her to be a guest." It should."

Yue Xiaolou was sure, this back and forth was just saying something else.A well-educated person never embarrasses others with his face hidden, and hides hidden thorns in his words. If you can't hear it, you are just stupid.

She was silent, quiet and well-behaved.

Wang Yiting looked at Xie Huaijin strangely, she usually ignored her at all, rarely called her Yiting, she was not used to it.

But Single Cell, she didn't notice anything was wrong at all, since she was given way, she walked in carelessly.

Don't pay attention to the seat, just sit on the chair.

In fact, even the New Year's Eve dinner at home has been arranged, but she always comes late, and she just sits in any empty seat.Don't know the rules at all.

Mr. Xie was still standing there.

He didn't move, but raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "You and Gu Linzong lived here as big as palms, and ran around the house. Now that your wings are hardened, you want to come to be my guest?"

"You can't come to grandpa to be the master," Xie Huaijin replied briefly, smiled slightly, and when she took Yue Xiaolou to sit down, she said, "Yiting sat... Forget grandpa, the family has a meal, Just order whatever you want."

The word "family" is very natural.

Wang Yiting, who just took out her mobile phone, looked up at her, feeling something weird.It seems to have been said, but not sure what it means.

"..."

"Just now when Gu Linzong came to pick us up, he still asked Uncle Zhang for the tractor he borrowed, but the car couldn't drive in at all. When I was young, I always said that I had to work hard to study and earn money to help my grandfather repair the road in front of the house. I finally remembered."

Xie Huaijin changed the subject, and Xu Xu said, "Grandpa, should the road be repaired?"

His mouth softened immediately, and he didn't give Mr. Xie a chance to lose his temper.

Gu Linzong looked at his words and said with a smile: "Grandpa coaxed me. At that time, I really thought that building a road was like a construction project. I didn't dare to mention it without a hundred or two million...Grandpa, sit down."

He ran to the front of his grandpa, and moved the seat intimately, "Uncle, what's the matter with them, they came so late."

Wang Yiting sat casually, so the order of the juniors was random.

Mr. Xie sat in the main seat unchanged, facing them, surrounded by everyone.

"What's your name?" He picked up the hot tea on hand, opened the lid, and asked Yue Xiaolou.

His expression was kind, even with a faint smile on his face.

Chapter 44 044

After Yue Xiaolou answered his name, he smiled obediently, holding his breath and waiting for other questions.

Mr. Xie turned his gaze away.

"It's all here," the aunt brought in the rest of the people, and asked, "It's almost time, should we serve?"

"Dad, has the road at this gate been repaired?"

"dad……"

"No matter what, the ancestral house is for people to live in. It's too inconvenient for us to come here every time..."

Mr. Xie nodded, put down the teacup in his hand, and watched the children chattering one by one.

A group of people entered the room, everyone was well dressed, but they couldn't hide their exhaustion from frowning.Everyone moved in unison, opened the chairs and sat down one by one, complained, and drank water while complaining.

To come here, they took a long detour from the west and had to walk a kilometer.

Usually, there is a special car to pick up and drop off, and the person who sits in the boss chair.It's like receiving corporal punishment.

Mr. Xie slowly scraped off the tea cover, "Who told you to sit in the office all day, your body is stiffer than the old man, and you are so tired from walking so much?"

"Dad, that's not what I said. I'm just like you, and I'm free to take time to exercise. My brother drank with someone until the early hours of the morning. The alcohol poison hasn't been metabolized in the blood vessels. My brother This movement almost caused sudden death."

"Who do you think is going to die suddenly?"

"By the way, dad, why don't we continue with Jiachen's project..."

After exchanging pleasantries, the elders began to chat.

Before officially using the chopsticks, the two aunts distributed menus to everyone seated in order.

Xie Huaijin took it and opened it, slightly startled, "So formal?"

"It's rare for my younger sister to bring someone home. Of course, my aunt is good at what kind of dishes she can cook."

As soon as she said this, everyone paused.

Then, as if he didn't hear anything, he continued to talk about what he was talking about.

Xie Wenyi sat next to his son, turned his head indiscriminately, and asked him in a low voice, "Your sister... what is your grandfather's attitude now?"

Gu Linzong shook his head slightly.

Xie Wenjun, as Xie Huaijin's biological father, exchanged glances with her biological mother, pretending to be deaf and not saying anything.

What to talk about.

Xie Huaijin was more calm, holding the menu in her hand, chatting with Aunt Li who was standing behind her, "All the dishes I cook are what Xiaolou and I love to eat."

Aunt Li laughed crow's feet when she heard the words, raised her lips, and asked Yue Xiaolou: "Does my sister eat glutinous rice balls or dumplings during the winter solstice?"

"Same as Huai Jin."

"She is also from here," Xie Huaijin added, "We are in the same high school."

"Oh oh..."

Aunt Li wanted to continue asking, but the grandpa who was surrounded by his children coughed suddenly, interrupting their happy greeting.

He put down the teacup expressionlessly, "What are you waiting for when everyone is here?"

Wang Yiting picked up the chopsticks naturally, and complained casually, "I can finally eat it? I'm starving to death, it's really..."

Her mother hurriedly gave her a hard look, but unfortunately she was short-sighted and didn't see it.

Holding the chopsticks by himself, he swiped his phone while waiting for the food to come.

The two aunts began to serve dishes.

"Aren't the magazines out? I've collected them all," Xie Huaijin teased Yue Xiaolou in a low voice, not participating in the conversation of the elders, "The cover of the eighth issue of Ruili is the best, do you have a base map for me to save. "

"???"

All the questions Yue Xiaolou was thinking about were blown away, his eyelashes straightened, and soon he forcibly lowered his eyebrows, and whispered in shock, "You... when are you?"

Xie Huaijin raised the corners of her lips, but did not answer.

"Let's eat."

over the course of a meal.

Yue Xiaolou felt the subtle, restrained, but caring eyes of everyone from time to time,

He lowered his head to eat, and gradually calmed down.

call

The enemy doesn't move and I don't move.

Only Wang Yiting, who doesn't know anything, is the most attentive, shielding everyone, playing with her mobile phone under the table, eating while playing, participating in the meal is really purely eating.When it comes to dishes she doesn't like, she just lowers her head and concentrates on playing with her phone.

She still thought it was troublesome to hold the chopsticks, so she slid into the bowl and stood it upright.Play games with both hands free.

"..."

Gu Linzong caught a glimpse, twitched the corners of her lips, and quickly pulled her pair of chopsticks off the tortilla.

Place neatly by the side of the bowl.

When she was almost done eating, Wang Yiting put down her chopsticks and sat there waiting for the meal to end.

Gu Linzong glanced again, and found that her chopsticks were lying carelessly on the bowl, posing as a sign of "chasing customers".

The corner of his lips twitched again, and before the adults noticed, he quickly reached out to straighten her chopsticks.

"What are you doing?" Wang Yiting glanced at him impatiently.

"I," Gu Linzong paused, and said with a good-natured smile, "I'm a bit obsessive-compulsive."

"cut……"

Yue Xiaolou, who sat across from her, clicked his tongue secretly, and couldn't help asking Xie Huaijin: "Is this really your child?"

Xie Huaijin glanced at Wang Yiting, "Every landlord's house has half a silly child, right?"

"Won't he be slapped on the palm?" Yue Xiaolou still couldn't imagine.

"She grew up next to her mother when she was a child. My aunt was reluctant to send her here at such a young age. No one taught me how to behave. When Gu Linzong and I grew up, she often came to learn from my grandfather..."

There is also the second half of the sentence.

Mr. Xie felt that she was "a rotten wood that cannot be carved", and it was impossible to teach her anything.

Even if he didn't say it, Yue Xiaolou could vaguely feel it.

A meal is over.

When the elders were still conversing, Wang Yiting stood up and went back to the room as if her butt was on fire.Xie Huaijin's aunt hurriedly stood up and chased after her, "Wang Yiting, are you in such a hurry to die?"

Xie Huaijin said to her aunt, "There is no need to prepare a guest room for her." Let Yue Xiaolou share a room with her.

"..."

The elders were in such a tacit understanding this time that they didn't even pause, pretending not to hear, and just snapping out of each other's words.

Being brought out by her, Yue Xiaolou was still a little silly: "Why don't I sleep in the guest room?"

"The guest room is on the third floor, haunted."

With Xie Huaijin's light words, Yue Xiaolou froze for a moment, looking at the gloomy corridor after sunset.After a while, he took her arm and said, "After all, it's the ancestral house. It's normal for some invisible people to exist."

"I'm lying to you, I want the second floor, I'm afraid you won't be used to sleeping alone."

Xie Huaijin smiled, "Take you somewhere."

"Isn't it mainly the bed that depends on whether you're used to sleeping?" Yue Xiaolou pursed his lips, followed her happily, and whispered, "Then I'm not familiar with your room, so what should I do if I'm still not used to sleeping?"

"Sleep in my arms, okay?"

Xie Huaijin hugged her closer as he spoke, his tone was light, as if he had said something that couldn't be more ordinary.

Yue Xiaolou thought to himself, who is afraid of whom: "Then I will take it seriously."

Xie Huaijin turned to look at her
