When the magic flower blooms

The building of the Ming family villa is divided into front and back.In addition to the main house, there is a two-story annex across the garden.

Since Ming's mother had made three chapters, no one was allowed to discuss business affairs at home.Therefore, regardless of elder brother or Ming's father, whenever they arrive at the villa and have to deal with official business, they will voluntarily hide in the annex.

Ming Ruoxing led He Tiansi around the swimming pool that dried up in winter, and came to the annex surrounded by holly trees.Entering the first floor, the wooden floor in the corridor is a bit old, and it creaks when you walk a little.

The two of them walked a few steps along the corridor, and a wooden door in front opened by itself.

"It's you."

The eldest brother of the Ming family poked his head out, with a vigilant look on his face, but immediately relaxed after seeing the person coming.

"Who else can I have if it's not me." Ming Ruoxing said, "Come out for dinner, Mom is urging me."

Ming Ruochen nodded in agreement.After a while, he came out, followed by a middle-aged man of about the same height.

It was the first time that He Tiansi saw Ming Ruoxing's father.

The middle-aged man in front of him is worthy of being an umbrella-level demihuman with the bloodline of the Siberian tiger, and there is a chilling aura exuding between his brows.

Especially the pair of thick sword eyebrows, flying obliquely into the temples, coupled with deep eye sockets and a high nose bridge, give people a sense of majesty.

Ming Ruoxing woke him up from his stupor with a light elbow, and indicated with his eyes what he should do.

"Hello, Uncle! I'm He Tiansi."

Although self-introduction has been conceived several times, but before the battle, he completely forgot, He Tiansi can only use the lowest configuration version.

In the blink of an eye, Ming Ruoxing's father had already arrived in front of He Tiansi.In less than a second, he had already looked at He Tiansi from top to bottom, but he never showed any emotions that could be interpreted, and just kept walking forward.

When Ming Ruochen also left with his father, He Tiansi pulled Ming Ruoxing and whispered.

"Does your dad not like me very much?"

"Don't think about it." Ming Ruoxing was quite sure, "If he didn't like you, he wouldn't agree to bring you back at all. He wouldn't look at you at all either."

In a blink of an eye, the four returned to the main house.The dining room was brightly lit, and other people also came from the living room and sat around the round table.

Ming's father sat at the top, Ming's mother was on the left, and Ming Ruochen and Wu Fei were on the right.Ming Ruoxing sat next to Ming Ma, next to He Tiansi and the otter twins.

"Dad, do you want to say something?"

After sitting down, Ming Ruochen made a suggestion first.

Ming's mother was the first to raise her hand to object: "Hey, it's not your meeting that celebrates the Chinese New Year. Stop talking nonsense. Come, come, let's raise our glasses!"

Although Dad Ming didn't say anything, he was the first to raise his glass in response.Immediately afterwards, the rest of the people also raised their glasses.

"Respect for the whole year that went well."

"May we all be safe and healthy."

"Respect the peace of the world."

"To the auntie who cooks for everyone, Xiao Xing and He Tiansi."

"Regard the Spring Festival."

"Respect...everyone here!"

"........."

The crisp sound of the glass colliding means that the New Year's Eve dinner is about to start, and it also means that a long table game has kicked off.

Ming's mother first served the youngest son: "What have you been doing recently?"

"Nothing special." Ming Ruoxing replied, "It snows heavily in Jinyu Village in winter, and basically people stay in the house. However, He Tiansi's new house also has a lot of improvements, so it's not boring. .”

He Tiansi also hurriedly chimed in: "Yes, Xiao Ming helped me a lot with the matter of the new house."

The sound of "Xiao Ming" immediately made Ming Ruochen's expression strange.

"At home, we usually call him Xiaoxing."

He explained briefly, and then asked Ming Ruoxing: "When do you plan to come back to work? Is there enough money?"

Ming Ruoxing shook his head: "I haven't made any specific plans yet. Jinyu Village is a good place, and I want to stay for a while longer. Money will always find a way."

Of course, He Tiansi was also reluctant to leave Ming Ruoxing just like that.

"Little...well, Xiaoxing lives very well in Jinyu Village. The old people in the village like it very much and take good care of him. Our place doesn't cost much, so he can stay as long as he wants."

To his surprise, Ming's mother actually spoke for him.

"Xiao Xing is not a child anymore, so he doesn't need others to worry about him. I think they are doing well now. And Xiao He has just come into contact with the world of demihumans this year. Someone should help him and guide him. "

"Yes, yes, Auntie is right!"

When it comes to flattering skills, He Tiansi is really not far behind.

"Xiao Xing usually takes good care of me. I didn't understand anything at the beginning, and I relied on his patience to teach. I am very grateful to him. He is really, very gentle."

As soon as these words came out, the twins sitting beside him suddenly laughed strangely.

"Brother Xing Xing is very gentle? He is super violent, okay! Usually he doesn't hurt us at all, and beats people!"

Ming Ruoxing immediately widened his eyes and put on a man-eating expression.

It's a pity that the twins didn't buy his account because of the large number of people.

"Just now we saw that brother Xingxing parked his car in the parking lot and didn't get out of the car. In the car—"

"Chen Dongqing! Chen Dongchun!"

Where did Ming Ruoxing let these two brats publicly execute him, and immediately released a burst of pheromone to frighten the two annoying little otters.

At this moment, the superior who had been silent all this time finally spoke again.

"That's enough. Can't you stop for a day if you celebrate the Chinese New Year?"

As soon as these words came out, both Ming Ruoxing and the otter twins obediently shut up and ate their own meals.

The dining room was eerily quiet for a few seconds, and then Papa Ming's voice sounded unhurriedly.This time it was aimed directly at He Tiansi.

"I heard that you only found out that you are a demihuman this summer. How do you feel now?"

"This is..."

He Tiansi tried to organize his words.

"To be honest, I'm still in a trance now. I always feel like it's a dream, but I'm glad it's not a dream."

Speaking of this, he deliberately glanced at Ming Ruoxing, but it was a pity that Ming Ruoxing lowered his head.

Ming's father then asked again: "Have you been to Yinshan?"

"I've been there, it's an eye-opener. Yinshan is a world of immortals."

"How many peaks have you been to?"

"..."

This topic is a bit sensitive, He Tiansi glanced at Ming Ruoxing from the corner of his eye.And the person who opened his mouth to help him out was Ming Ma.

"Old man, didn't I tell you? I met Xiaoxing and the others in Hefengyuan, and they were still beating the copper tower at that time."

Speaking of this, she twisted and asked He Tiansi again: "Speaking of which, did the two of you go up later?"

"No."

He Tiansi was quite clever now, and quickly shook his head, "The copper pagoda is too difficult to beat, and I almost lost money. I'm afraid."

Only then did Ming Ruoxing answer: "For a pheasant, it's pretty good."

"Brother, so you are a pheasant?!"

The two twins got excited again, "The teacher said that otters sometimes eat pheasants."

"...Really? Your teacher knows a lot." He Tiansi smiled and rolled his eyes silently in his heart.

Of course, the twins couldn't understand the perfunctory, and they boasted even more vigorously: "Yes, our teacher grew up in the palace, of course he is amazing! If you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Wu."

The topic suddenly fell on himself, and the smile on Wu Fei's face froze slightly.

"Ask Wu Fei what to do." Ming Ruochen pretended to ask casually while picking up a chopstick dish.

The twins immediately said: "I saw Wu Fei coming to our school to pick up the teacher from school that day."

Time at the table seemed to stand still for a second.

A second later, Ming Ruochen finally took a look at Wu Fei.

"Is that your girlfriend?" It was still a casual question.

"It's a man, it's a male teacher!" The twins hurriedly clarified.

""

Wu Fei froze for a moment, seemed a little embarrassed, but admitted it anyway.

"That's what happened, but it was only a month ago."

"Introduced by your family? How is it? Have you stayed in the palace?" Ming's mother immediately began to gossip.

Wu Fei smiled helplessly.

"The other party's father is the head of the palace guard, so it is said that he grew up in the palace. But his current job has nothing to do with the royal family."

"It's really not certain."

Ming's mother shook her head, "The people around the emperor have always been appointed, not promoted. Today you are a primary school teacher, and tomorrow you may be an imperial servant. Besides, it is your family who found it for you, right? Then you can't go wrong. .”

Wu Fei didn't know how to respond, so he nodded and smiled.

On the contrary, Ming Ruochen said with a little displeasure: "I haven't written anything about it yet, so don't get to the bottom of it."

His intention was nothing more than to end the topic, but unexpectedly the twins raised their voices instead.

"It's not that there is no horoscope! We have already asked the teacher, and the teacher said that he and Brother Wu Fei are already engaged!"

At this moment, everyone's eyes were once again focused on Wu Fei.

"..." Wu Fei shook his hand holding the spoon, "Don't listen to your teacher's nonsense."

Then he explained to others: "That person likes to joke more, but there is no such thing at all. It's just an ordinary blind date."

"Oh, just kidding, just kidding!"

He Tiansi and Ming Ma first made expressions of sudden realization.Then Ming Ruoxing and Ming's father continued to pick up vegetables as if nothing had happened.Only Ming Ruochen had a dark face, and the chopsticks that were stretched out to pick up vegetables wandered around the table for a few seconds, but still retracted to eat his own rice.

It was Ming's mother who put the food he wanted into his rice bowl for him.

"Speaking of which, Xiaochen, you should hold on tighter. The boss is no longer young, and it's time to think about your own personal problems. Don't always work and work, do you hear me?"

Ming Ruochen changed his usual silent attitude, nodded in response: "Understood."

"And you." Ming's mother deliberately turned her gaze to Ming Ruoxing again, "You look for me too."

"Mom!" Ming Ruoxing knew how to resist, "Could you not mention this disturbing thing during Chinese New Year?"

"If you don't mention it during the Chinese New Year, when do you ask me to mention it?!" Ming's mother proved that she would never see her son a few times throughout the year.

Seeing the mother and son arguing, He Tiansi suddenly put down his chopsticks and coughed lightly.

"Well, Auntie, I actually know that Xiao Xing... actually has someone to date with."

As soon as these words came out, everyone including Ming Ruoxing was stunned.

Ming's mother's eyes widened, she turned her head to suppress her smile, and then asked solemnly: "Really, then how do you know?"

"It's... it's... a girl from our village."

After the first sentence was out of his mouth, He Tiansi had no choice but to continue writing.

"'Girl' has a big house and a big medicine garden. She is also very...beautiful. She is kind-hearted, reasonable, and diligent. The most important thing is that she is so desperate for Xiaoxing..."

What the hell is this?It's simply shame play!Ming Ruoxing bowed his head silently.Ming's mother kept snickering.Wu Fei and Ming Ruochen also showed complicated expressions.

At this time, Ming Ruoxing's father suddenly spoke.

"Xiao Xing, when will you bring that girl back to meet her?"

"forgive me……"

Ming Ruoxing responded vaguely, and at the same time secretly kicked He Tiansi under the table.

Thanks to He Tiansi's "Emperor's New Clothes" impromptu performance, the slightly tense atmosphere at the dinner table began to ease.

It is not easy for this family to get together in different places on weekdays.It's a rare good day, so I will share all kinds of things in this year, big and small.Although there are occasional disputes, someone always comes out to smooth things over.

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and everyone had eaten the main meal and the eight-treasure rice after the meal.Several juniors cleaned up the table and chopsticks separately, and Ming's mother brought the two little otters upstairs to sleep.

After that it was time to split up again.The young people were called to play billiards with Father Ming in the billiards room.
