Auntie Housekeeping: "I also watched it a few times, and felt that the TV show was messed up. I really don't know why it is so popular with children."

Ji Xiao smiled and said, "Children are more capable of accepting new things. Auntie, how old is your granddaughter this year?"

"Fifth grade," said the housekeeping aunt, "her parents said that next year, when she will be promoted to junior high school, she will unplug the TV at home and stop her from watching it."

Ji Xiao was a little unexpected, "Now Xiao Shengchu is under so much pressure?"

The housekeeping aunt said: "Oh, who said otherwise!"

As they chatted like this, the topic gradually changed to other aspects.

There was also a change of guest performers on TV, and it was still full of joy, with bright colors everywhere.

After the lantern was propped up, the housekeeper showed a relaxed smile.

Ji Xiao took the initiative to say: "I'll hang up."

The housekeeping aunt looked at him, smiled, and said, "Hey, good, there's a ladder over there."

In previous years, when Ji Xiao and I were alone at home, Ji Xiao would also be in high spirits, posting Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters.

He also told me that when his parents were still alive, all these jobs were done by his father.

That was 20 years ago.Ji Xiao is still just a little bean, living with his parents in an ordinary residential building.When his father went out without a coat on, Ji Xiao strolled out wearing a sweater too.In the end, she was carried home by her mother, and she came out after wearing a down jacket.

The neighbor's grandma passed by, and would smile and stuff Ji Xiao's pocket with a handful of Chinese New Year candies bought by herself.

While eating candy, Ji Xiao commanded: "It's crooked—it's crooked!"

I went home later and forgot the chocolate in my pocket.When the chocolate was melted by the warm stove in the house and filled the whole pocket, Ji Xiao finally woke up.

He secretly washed the clothes, but the clothes were so wet that he couldn't dry them at all, and was finally discovered by his mother.

Ji Xiao's mother was angry and funny, pinching her son's ear to teach him a lesson.

Later, when Ji Xiao's parents died in a car accident, these memories were buried deep in his mind.Although during the Chinese New Year, my aunt would always treat him more gently.Occasionally, he would also bring him a new dress to wear.But such excitement still has nothing to do with Ji Xiao.

Then met me.When we celebrated the first Chinese New Year, only half a year had passed since I picked him up.

We've kissed, we've had a little more intimate contact.Ji Xiao is going to be raised as a house cat by me, but his vigilance is still there.

I didn't intend to arrange anything.But Ji Xiao's eyes always fall on the lanterns and spring couplets downstairs in the community.When I saw it, I wanted to know that he liked it, so I asked someone to buy it.

He was really happy.After posting the Spring Festival couplets, look sideways at me.

The corridor lights are very bright, illuminating Ji Xiao's face.

I smiled and reached out to him.

He smiled slowly and took the initiative to kiss me.

Ji Xiao wants a home, so I will give it to him.

After that, it is now.

Ji Xiao jumped down from the ladder in the voice of her aunt "Ouch, Ouch", somewhat triumphantly, and said to me, "How is it?"

I said, "Not bad, very good."

Ji Xiao: "Uncle, is he still resting? Why didn't he go downstairs?"

I wrapped my arms around Ji Xiao's waist, kissed him, and said, "Dad will come down after dinner."

Ji Xiao said: "What time is it?"

I said, "After twelve o'clock—"

Ji Xiao: "That's time for lunch."

I paused and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll call him."

Ji Xiao stayed downstairs and went to the kitchen to see how the lunch was being prepared.

I went upstairs and walked slowly to the room in the middle of the second floor.

This villa is located in the urban area of ​​Haicheng, where every inch of land is expensive.All the decorations in the house are in Chinese style. It is said that professional designers and Feng Shui masters worked together to complete the decoration. The overall is elegant and generous, not tacky.

When I think of "Mr. Feng Shui", I can't help laughing.

When I reached the door of the bedroom, I raised my hand and was about to knock on the door, but my movements stopped suddenly.

I maintained the posture of knocking on the door, turned my head, and looked at the door of another house next to me.

I smiled and walked over.This time, he pushed the door open and looked at the man behind the desk.

I said, "Dad, it's time to eat."

The man looked up at me, nodded slowly, and stood up.

I watched my father come to me, still maintaining a smiling face, and said in a relaxed tone: "Yuan Yuan doesn't get along with you very much. Although it can't be seen on the surface, he is actually a little nervous. Dad, you have to take care of him." a little."

My father looked at me from the side, smiled slowly, and said, "Okay."

Let's go downstairs together, to the restaurant.

Because the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening should be rich, the lunch should be much simpler. Three bowls of noodles are served on the table.

When we got to the table, Ji Xiao had just set the chopsticks.

He smiled at us.I thought to myself, what I said before that he has the demeanor of a "young mistress" is really accurate.It's a pity that if Ji Xiao is unhappy, he can't say more.

I sat down with my father.

The richness of the toppings has already spread.I picked up the chopsticks and took another look at Ji Xiao.Seeing him also seemed to move his index finger, and his eyes were bright.

No need to say anything, just start the meal like this.

After lunch, my father asked us to go upstairs to rest.

Ji Xiao originally wanted to say no, but his father's voice was forceful and gentle, and he said, "It's really tiring for you to drive here so early in the morning."

When Ji Xiao heard this, he took a look at me.

I said, "Dad already said that. Yuanyuan, let's go to sleep for a while."

Ji Xiao then nodded.

My room is also on the second floor.

Going upstairs, Ji Xiao rolled around on the bed.I looked at him with a smile and said, "Turn around, do you want to invite the chef here to our side?"

Ji Xiao was clearly moved, but he still asked me: "Then what about uncle?"

I pulled him into my arms, hugged him, and fell on the bed.

Ji Xiao exclaimed at first, but soon relaxed again.

I said, "There is no shortage of chefs on Dad's side."

Ji Xiao thought about it: "That's right."

We played around, drew the curtains, and got ready for a nap.

Before going to bed, Ji Xiao yawned, "Hmm... everything here seems to be new?"

I said: "Before I told Dad that we are coming back, it should be cleaned specially."

Ji Xiao smiled and said, "I originally thought that when I came back this time, I would just take a look at the place where you lived when you were young."

After the words came out of his mouth, he let out a soft "Huh", as if he had added a lot of confusion because of his previous words.

I said, "How many years ago was that? I didn't live in this house when I was young."

Ji Xiao came back to his senses and said, "Uncle was starting a business at that time, right?"

I said, "Yes."

Ji Xiao: "I don't seem to have seen many photos of you when you were a child."

I had a bit of a headache and said, "Let's go in the afternoon, look for the previous photo album."

Ji Xiao smiled and rolled into my arms, "Okay."

We sleep for an hour and get up again.

In the afternoon, I found an old photo album and looked at it with Ji Xiao.

Ji Xiao's fingers slowly rubbed over the child's face in the photo, then looked at me, and said, "It looks like you."

My eyelids twitched, but I still smiled and said, "This is me, of course it looks like me."

Ji Xiao said: "That's right..."

We had a peaceful, calm afternoon.

In the evening, the New Year's Eve dishes are served one by one.

After the housekeepers have prepared these things, they will go home for the New Year. Only me, Ji Xiao, and my father are left in the house.

The municipal government organized a firework show, and as soon as you turned your head, you could see the bright fireworks from the window.

For three people, there are nine dishes, all meat and vegetables are prepared, which is extremely rich.

Portion is not much.Even so, at the end of the meal, there were still some left over.

Ji Xiao and I took the remaining dishes to the kitchen.After returning to the living room, the Spring Festival Gala is just starting.

The opening was a song and dance show, a group of people sang and danced, and it was still lively.

After watching it for a short time, my father showed signs of fatigue again, and sighed: "Sure enough, I'm getting old. Okay, you guys continue to watch, I'll go to sleep first."

I said, "Okay, let's turn the TV down a bit."

Ji Xiao listened, but stopped talking.

After his father left, Ji Xiao said, "Shao Zuo, uncle, is he only downstairs during lunch and dinner this day? You feel tired at other times, and you want to be alone?"

I paused and said, "It seems to be."

Ji Xiao: "Uncle is only under 60 years old. In this state, is the burden too heavy?"

He said that out of pure concern.

I was in a complicated mood, so I held Ji Xiao's hand and said, "I'll talk to Dad about tomorrow and ask him to go for a physical examination."

Ji Xiao: "Yeah." Then he mentioned it again, "It's a good thing you said in advance that this New Year's Eve, there will only be the three of us. Otherwise, Uncle might really not be able to hold on."

I listened and sighed slowly.

Ji Xiao...

The show on TV is still going on.

After worrying, Ji Xiao withdrew his thoughts, snuggled up on the sofa with me, and watched the laughing and laughing on TV.

He peeled the orange deftly in his hands.I peeled one, ate it by myself, and stuffed a few orange petals into my mouth.

I grabbed his hand and kissed his fingers.

Ji Xiao smiled softly and looked at me.

I suspect he wants to kiss me again.But before that, his phone vibrated.

The ringtone broke the intimacy between us.

Ji Xiao glanced at the phone, a little surprised: "Gu Maoheng? What is he calling for?"

I guessed irresponsibly: "Maybe it's New Year's greetings?"

Ji Xiao really didn't believe it, and said, "Impossible."

But still connected.

He put on the speakerphone, and Gu Maoheng's voice came out.

Hoarse and tireder than the last time we met.

Gu Maoheng said: "Mr. Ji, I have something to ask for your help."

Ji Xiao glanced at me, then asked, "What's the matter?"

Gu Maoheng said: "In your company, there is an artist named 'Wei Qianjiu'. I wanted to meet her, but before... something happened."

Ji Xiao's brows became tighter and tighter, "Accident?"

Gu Maoheng didn't say much about it.He mumbled his voice and asked, "Can you arrange it for me?"

Ji Xiao said: "Why do you want to see her? Is it because of the plot of "Past Life"?"

Coincidentally, when Ji Xiao finished speaking, a new program started on TV.

Wei Qianjiu appeared in front of us.

She was wearing a long red dress with elegant makeup, completely different from the villain Yu Shiyun in "Past Life".Singing now, the lyrics are also full of auspicious wishes.

Gu Maoheng said: "No." After a pause, "Not just."

Ji Xiao took a deep breath and said, "Deputy Team Leader Gu, if you don't make it clear to me, I can't arrange it."

Gu Maoheng asked back: "I told you, will you arrange it?"

Ji Xiao was ambiguous, and replied: "It depends on the situation."

Gu Maoheng let out a breath.

He whispered: "I found a friend who took me to meet the suspect in the first transcript. I chatted with her and asked her what the voice that was speaking next to her ear was like. She said , just like that girl on TV that her kids watch all the time."

Ji Xiao: "The girl on TV?"

Gu Maoheng: "Well. I went to her house. In her child's closet, there was a altar with Wei Qianjiu's photo inside. I felt something was wrong, so I went to the second suspect's house and found provided a similar offering.”

Ji Xiao: "For Taiwan...?"

Gu Maoheng: "I'll send you a photo! Mr. Ji, this is really abnormal."

After a while, there was no sound from Gu Maoheng, who was probably operating his mobile phone.

Ji Xiao's phone vibrated again, and it was indeed Gu Maoheng who sent the photo.

We watched as the photos loaded.When the picture appeared clearly, Ji Xiao took a light breath.

Gu Maoheng's statement is not wrong, it is indeed two confessions.

In the middle is a photo of Wei Qianjiu. In front of the photo are "tributes". Besides ordinary fruit snacks, there are also some cosmetics and accessories.

Gu Maoheng called over the phone: "Mr. Ji? Mr. Ji?"

Ji Xiao didn't answer.

He enlarged Wei Qianjiu's photo and looked at it carefully.

On TV, Wei Qianjiu was still singing.

The voice is sweet, clear and moving.

Ji Xiao looked at the phone, suddenly raised his hand, and clasped the lower half of Wei Qianjiu's face.

On the screen, only the girl's eyes and forehead are exposed.

Ji Xiao said abruptly, "I have indeed seen her."

On the other end of the phone, Gu Maoheng didn't understand, so he said, "Hello? Hello?"

Ji Xiao said: "At that time she was wearing a mask, no wonder I didn't recognize her."

Gu Maoheng: "Mr. Ji?"

Ji Xiao said: "We will arrange this meeting."

Gu Maoheng paused and became quiet.

I thought: He himself never thought that Ji Xiao would agree to him.

Gu Maoheng said, "Thank you."

Ji Xiao added: "It will be within a few days. Deputy Team Leader Gu, wait for me to contact you, is this the only call?"

"Yes," Gu Maoheng said, "Don't call me 'deputy team leader', I am no longer."

The author has something to say: The last time Wei Qianjiu appeared was in Chapter 19, a little angel was found.

See you this afternoon.
