Que Yining felt a little strange, but before she had time to continue observing, Hou Manni returned to her usual appearance, as if the moment just now was just her illusion.

Hou Manni: "What's the matter? Is there anything you can do with your brother? You can tell me. I'll go home and tell him later."

Que Yining shook her head: "It's okay, I just asked curiously because he didn't come back."

You Lan smiled softly: "You are such an old man, and you are still so clingy to your brother. You woke up so late. Did you go to bed late yesterday and eat something?"

Que Yining: "Eat it, it's delicious."

You Lanqing: "Did you eat it with a smile?"

Que Yining: "Xiaoxiao, no, I didn't see her, I thought she was taken out by you."

Hou Manni smiled wryly: "I'll go and have a look."

Xiaoxiao is the daughter of Hou Manni and Que Linyang, whose name is Que Ying.

The original owner didn't have a deep impression of her niece. Logically speaking, the original owner had such a good relationship with her elder brother, and her relationship with her elder brother's daughter should not be bad, but the original owner had never seen her many times since she was a child.

Xiaoxiao is a very introverted and even autistic girl, ten years old this year.

Yesterday, Que Yining didn't see this little niece at all, she had been hiding in the room and didn't come out.

After a while, Xiaoxiao was led downstairs by Hou Manni.

She was wearing a red velvet skirt, her face was tender and fair, her appearance was inherited from her mother, her oval face and big eyes showed that she was a beauty.

Seeing many people sitting downstairs, she lowered her head in fear.

Que Yining looked at her calmly, watching her sitting on the sofa like a little quail, coaxed and played by Que's parents and Que's mother.

She grabbed her skirt, looked at the toys in her grandparents' hands, and smiled timidly.

Que Yining sat aside and looked at her quietly. Sometimes a child's state can clearly reflect the internal situation of that family. If the parents are loving and the family atmosphere is good, even if the child is naturally introverted, it shouldn't be so serious. .

Que Yining wanted to know if it was Que Linyang's fault, she had to get to know him.

Whether it's his network, his social status, or his family status.

"Smile, can my sister-in-law come to play with you?"

Que Yining fell towards Xiaoxiao's side, meeting Xiaoxiao's face.

Xiaoxiao stopped smiling immediately, her nervous eyes kept rolling, looking at Hou Manni from time to time.

Que Yining looked at Hou Manni pretending to be depressed and said, "Is Xiaoxiao so afraid of me? Am I too scary?"

"No, she has been like this since she was a child, and she is very afraid of people," Hou Manni explained, signaling with her eyes to smile and not to be afraid, "This is sister-in-law, don't be afraid."

Xiaoxiao pursed her mouth tightly, lowered her head and picked at her fingers.

Seeing that the atmosphere had cooled down, of course You Lanqing would not embarrass her daughter so much and continued to coax her granddaughter to play.

"Smile, grandma will test you to see if you have studied well in school."

Nodding with a smile, his facial expression relaxed a little.

You Lanqing took the test of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within ten, and she answered it quickly with a smile, almost without thinking.

You Lanqing increased the difficulty, said the addition and subtraction within a hundred, and Xiaoxiao quickly answered it.

Hou Manni: "Mom, you can also try addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within a hundred."

Que Zixi on the background board was stunned: "Isn't this too difficult for elementary school students?"

For multiplication and division within a hundred, even junior high school students or high school students will be stunned for a while before calculating.

Hou Manni said with some pride on her face, "Xiaoxiao is very smart."

She touched Xiaoxiao's hair affectionately: "Maybe this is a gift from heaven to her."

You Lanqing tried to say multiplication and division within [-], while Que Zixi was holding a calculator beside him, but the speed with which he pressed the calculator was not as good as what he said with a smile.

Que Yining was also quite surprised by this level, she pointed to the sofa and had an idea in her mind.

Que's father and Que's mother didn't plan to go to the city so soon, so they set up another mahjong table, Que Zixi couldn't, and Que Chuling and Hou Manni joined in.

This gave Que Yining a chance. She sat next to Xiaoxiao and played various games with her.

Xiaoxiao seemed to relax a bit, under Que Yining's two hours of perseverance, Xiaoxiao was already able to hold her finger.

Que Yining kissed her cheek, smiled and blushed in embarrassment.

"May I take you to paint?"

She nodded with a smile, showing an interested expression.

Que Yining took her upstairs, found drawing paper and pens for her, and accompanied her to draw.

"Look! Elephants!"

Que Yining drew a stick figure of an elephant, put it on his face and mooed.

"Sister-in-law, that's a cow call."

With a smile on her face, she looked at Que Yining's paintings of other animals, saw those vivid stick figures, and asked Que Yining to teach her softly.

"Okay, look, it's drawn like this."

Que Yining held Xiaoxiao in her arms, held her little hand and taught her how to draw.

The sun shone in, filling it with golden light.

"I've been drawing for so long. Let's draw one last picture. Let's just draw our own home. Let's compare which one of us can draw faster."

Que Yining held the drawing paper and shook the colored pencils with a smile.

The smile on Xiaoxiao's face faded a little, and he nodded hesitantly.

Adults often think that children know nothing, but in fact, they know a lot more than adults think.

Seeing Xiaoxiao's painting, Que Yining thought it was so.

It is true that Que Yining took advantage of the children intentionally, but she was not out of bad intentions, at least those companionships were not all purposeful.

The color of Xiaoxiao’s painting is not dark, even warm, but there is a long black line in the middle that runs through the entire drawing paper, dividing the person representing father and mother into two sides, and the person representing her The little man stands in the middle.

Que Yining hugged her in her arms and combed the little girl's messy hair.

She was dexterous and helped Xiaoxiao tie a beautiful hair.Xiaoxiao looked at himself in the mirror, and the smile returned to his face.

Que Yining asked her, "Smile, how is mom treating you?"

Smile and nod.

Que Yining: "Then how is Dad treating you?"

Smile and nod.

Que Yining: "Then how is father treating mother?"

Xiaoxiao nodded subconsciously, shook her head again, and nodded again, with a tangled expression.

Que Yining: "Stop worrying about this, change to another one, then do you think your father treats me well?"

Looking at her with a smile, the child's eyes were clean and clear, showing hesitation clearly.

Que Yining thought she didn't know, and she asked this question on a whim. The child might not know their relationship, but Xiaoxiao surprised her.

Smiling: "Mom said, Dad pretended to be nice to you."

The little girl's voice was timid, and the occasional quarrel between her parents kept replaying in her mind. She clearly remembered every word and every expression they said.

Children can remember a lot, but they lack judgment.Xiaoxiao didn't know whether she should say it, nor did she know what the consequences would be if she said it, so she struggled in her heart, but the balance finally leaned towards the aunt who just played with her all the time and she thought it was very good.

But after she finished speaking, she became scared again, broke free from Que Yining's embrace, covered her mouth and wanted to run out.

Que Yining grabbed her hand and gently comforted her back.

Que Yining: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you didn't say anything, this is a secret between us, I won't tell anyone, and neither will you, right?"

Xiaoxiao nodded, Que Yining touched her little face and smiled at her.

Xiaoxiao calmed down, lowered her head and said, "Auntie, what are you painting?"

She couldn't understand, didn't she mean to paint her own house, why were there so many flowers in her aunt's painting.

"Because there are a lot of flowers in my home, so I drew so many flowers."

Que Yining smiled and tore up the drawing paper in her hands.

In the place where her parents and siblings rest forever, a large field of wild flowers grows.

Que Yining didn't ask anyone to clean them up, she lived in a tall building not far away, and looked at them day and night.

"Since it's a secret, of course it can't be known."

Que Yining threw the torn paper into the trash can, and Xiaoxiao followed her lead by tearing up her own painting and throwing it into the trash can as well.

"Auntie, can I call you later?"

"Of course, I'll help you store the number in your watch, and if you miss me in the future, you can call and send me a message at any time."

Que Yining had always suspected that Que Linyang's purpose was impure. Although there was no evidence, she believed in her intuition, and now she replied with a smile, which confirmed her guess and that Hou Manni must know something.

Que Yining entered her number into Xiaoxiao's smart watch, and squatted down to look at the little girl.

"Xiaoxiao is not worried about being discovered by Dad, will he be unhappy?"

Xiaoxiao shook his head: "I can prevent him from finding out."

Que Yining stroked her hair rewardingly: "Xiaoxiao is really smart."

"Aunt actually doesn't like Dad very much, does she?"

Looking at her with a smile, he suddenly asked a question.

Que Yining was startled, remembering that when she heard the news in front of Xiaoxiao just now, she didn't pretend to be angry or sad, and subconsciously neglected to act in front of the child.

"Because liking is something that goes away, and your dad lied to me, so I don't like him that much."

She leaned against the little girl's forehead and said to her with a chuckle.

Que Yining was concerned, she knew that Xiaoxiao was very smart, if she could use Xiaoxiao's clichés today, it was inevitable that Que Linyang or Hou Manni would also use her clichés.

She couldn't help sighing in her heart, she was such an annoying adult.

Xiaoxiao didn't want to go downstairs, so Que Yining sent her back to her room.

When I came out of the room, it was very quiet outside, and I didn't know when the mahjong tables were scattered.

Que Yining held the handrail of the escalator and looked down, the lobby was empty.

The stairs of the old house had been in disrepair for a long time and the wood was rotten. This year, a new one was specially replaced. Que Yining stepped on it with cloth shoes, silently.

The wind blows over the dried flowers on the porch, making them sway to and fro.

Que Yining looked around, walked past the main house, and arrived at the backyard.

The walls were covered with dry branches and leaves, hanging limply.

There are whispers whispering, blowing along the wind.

Que Yining walked around the corner, her eyebrows raised lightly.

On the return trip that night, everyone set off back to the city, Que Linyang left first, so Hou Manni and Xiaoxiao sat in Que Yining's car.

Que Yining turned the steering wheel and looked in the rearview mirror, then asked Hou Manni a question.

"Sister-in-law, are you familiar with Que Chuling?"

"There is no familiarity between aunts and sisters." Hou Manni pursed her lips, raised her head and looked at Que Yining, "but Second Sister is indeed not an easy person to get along with."

There was a bit of helplessness on her face, as if she was extremely sincere.

"She has such a poisonous mouth, who would like her."

Que Yining agreed and continued to drive while looking ahead.

Que Yining suddenly felt a little boring, but Gu Shanxue was more interesting.
