the one who lives in my body

It was already getting late when we arrived, and An Guo came to greet us after dinner not long after.

On the Internet, through text messages with my mother, I just found out that my cheap uncle is named Shen Fan.

The Shen family couple originally had three children, the eldest son Shen Fei, the second daughter Shen Yi, and the third son Shen Fan.

I don't know if I can call it "lucky".Logically speaking, if the eldest son committed such a thing, the whole family should not be able to escape, but in the end the higher-ups "showed great mercy" and left a son and a daughter for the Shen family.

And this situation was actually the result of the interference of King Marlon, whose power was emptied at that time.

Maybe it's because the two left behind are really no deterrent. The second daughter, that is, my mother, was just a silly girl who was thinking about love at the time, and my cheap uncle Shen Fan was weak and sick at the time. In addition, he has no ambitions and has been ridiculed by people in the aristocratic circle all the year round.

The only heir of the Shen family who can see clearly is the eldest son, Shen Fei. Unfortunately, he went astray, and after killing his parents, he himself could not escape bad luck.

While eating, I was thinking, if my other uncle is honest and does his job well, will the Shen family not have to suffer?Then can I still be a nobleman?

The sound of the chopsticks being gently placed on the bowl was a bit jarring. I don't know if it's because everyone is not familiar with it. This meal can be said to be extremely dull.

Four people gathered around a table, and a needle could be heard.

Xie Dongrong didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, holding the tableware, gently put the food in his mouth and chewed slowly, with a dignified and elegant demeanor, as if he was more gentle than the "elegant scholar" Shen Fan opposite him.

Although An Guo is young, she has been a princess after all, so there is no need to talk about sitting posture and other issues. Occasionally, she will pick up vegetables for her teacher, Mr. Shen Fan.

Looking at the audience, I suddenly found that among the four people, I was the only one who looked the rudest.

"Little tree?" Uncle Cheap's voice brought me back to my senses, "Why are you in a daze, is the food not to your taste?"

"...No, no..." I sneered, "It's delicious, are these made by the cook at home or... did you cook it yourself?"

As if he was happy for me to initiate the topic, Uncle Cheap put away the tableware, wiped the corner of his mouth, and replied very formally: "My family is poor, so it is not realistic to hire a chef. I usually study the recipes by myself. Today It finally came in handy."

"Wow, I can't see it. What about those potted plants outside? I think they grow very well, and I haven't seen them anywhere else." I noticed it when I was on the road, and I only asked now.

"It's also cultivated by me. I usually like to play with these gadgets to take care of my body and mind. Oh, yes, there is a piece of land in the backyard. It is also very good to grow some vegetables and fruits for self-sufficiency." Uncle Cheap seems to be very happy when I ask about this, His expression at the moment is a bit more than his original temperament, "There is a chestnut tree in the backyard, it is now April, and when I went to see it yesterday, a few flowers have emerged, probably in these few days. God, the Lihua Yong is about to bloom, if only you could see it."

Saying that, Uncle Cheap's eyes slowly turned to the window, and he didn't know what he saw.

This place is really nice and suitable for him. He should be more comfortable living here than living in the center of the capital.

Looking at my poetic and cheap uncle, I can't help but think of my mother who is still worrying about the diamond necklace. She is clearly a family. Why is there such a big difference in ideas?

"Teacher, the medicine has been placed by your bedside, remember to take it." An Guo's words gradually turned to another atmosphere in the room at the right time. Serious and caring little girl, wondering - was she really a princess in the past?

Why come to this house, but feel more like a little maid?

But Shen Fan was obviously not the type who would bully little girls, this An Guo was obviously voluntary.

"Okay, I'm such an adult, how embarrassing to make a child worry about me?" Shen Fan touched her head, "Didn't you say you want to go to the riverside to see the night market?" He said, turning his eyes to me and Xie Dongrong : "It's still very interesting, especially at night, are you interested in going shopping?"

In fact, I wanted to go, but... I couldn't help but glance at Xie Dongrong, feeling that he was not that carefree.

As if spying on my thoughts, Xie Dongrong turned his eyes, "You can go if you want, and see what I do?"

Sure enough, no matter how polite this guy is to others, he will become grumpy and hard when it comes to me.

"You don't want to go?" I asked him.

Xie Dongrong pursed his lips slightly, "There are a few books in the room that I find very interesting."

Hearing this, Shen Fan chuckled, "Then Xiaoshu will go with Guoguo, Dongrong and I will stay home."

"Guardian"?This vocabulary makes my thoughts stagnant. It would be great to have such a home, even if it is only for a short period of two or three days.

·

In the end, I naturally went out smoothly, but... An Guo and I really don't know each other well, she didn't intend to talk to me along the way, so she and Xie Dongrong are somewhat related, tsk, no wonder they are so similar.

This place should be regarded as a small village on the edge of the capital city. The level of science and technology is on the edge of development and underdevelopment. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Compared with the center of the capital city, it has a different charm.

An Guo and I were walking along the river bank, and after a while we heard the noise of the market, together with clusters of lights gradually approaching our sight, interspersed with the light of the water, illuminating our vision.

"It would be great if Mr. Shen came too." I looked down at An Guo's side face, trying to start the conversation in this way.

It was really useful to move Shen Fan out, but An Guo frowned slightly, turned her head and corrected me solemnly: "The teacher has already told you today that he is your uncle, don't call him 'Mr.'."

"Because I'm not used to it yet. I didn't know there was such a person before. Suddenly an uncle descended from the sky. It's too unexpected." I said with a smile.

An Guo was really angry. She turned her face, tried her best to be calm and at the same time said extremely angrily: "The teacher has always known you! How dare you say 'I didn't even know there was such a person'? You are too shameless!"

As we said that, the two of us had already walked to a booth, "I also felt sorry, so I decided to buy him something as a gift... Well, although it may be too late now."

An Guo snorted coldly, "It's already too late."

"So I decided to give you a small gift," I said, and I picked up a hairpin, only to notice that her eyes froze for a moment. When my mother wanted something, she would have that expression. "This will definitely make him happier than me giving him a meeting gift directly, because I see that your relationship is so good."

An Guo didn't change his opinion of me because of this, but said: "Stealing and playing tricks!"

Of course, I bought it in the end, and then she kept a straight face and refused to accept it.

Looking at her expression, I knew she liked it, and finally I stuffed this delicate handmade clip into my pocket, and then I made plans.

After making such a fuss, it still had some effect. At any rate, An Guo was willing to chat with me in the end, so that I would not be too bored.

There are many people who come to this market, among them there are many girls who are about the same age as An Guo. They fly past us with smiles and noises like flocks of little swallows. Wreath of flowers.

Obviously, An Guo was out of tune with them. What she had in her was the arrogance that belonged to a princess and the mature temperament honed in the palace.

Whether these little girls accept her is part of it, but I think more, it may be that she doesn't bother to be with them.

But the light in her eyes that belongs to girls is also real.

After An Guo was far away, I found a woman selling goods in the market and asked, "Sister, do you know where to buy the wreaths on those little girls' heads?" I wanted to make one for An Guo.

Whether she likes it or not is one thing, the key is that if other girls have it, she should too.

"You are from the city." The proprietress looked at me and said with a smile, "This is a custom in the old capital, and now only our place is still doing it. In the past, when the chestnut flowers bloomed, the capital city The girls will wear the garlands made by their mothers and go to admire the chestnut flowers together. Those garlands are all made by their mothers, and they are not sold in the store.”

mother?As I recall, King Marlon's wife died shortly after giving birth to the princess.

Now, King Marlon who had just abdicated quietly left without anyone knowing.

I think An Guo's maturity is not without reason.

In the end, I had to give up the idea of ​​giving An Guoye a whole.

Of course An Guo didn't know what I was thinking. On the way back, she talked more than when she came.

My uncle lived a regular and healthy life. When An Guo and I returned from the market, An Guo looked at the time and said, "The teacher is already asleep. You should go back to your room early to sleep." After speaking, he was merciless turned away.

Looking at her back, I didn't have the nerve to stop her after all.

Because an older brother doesn't know how to get back to the room, it's a bit embarrassing.

But the place is so big, so you won't get lost.

But after going around for a long time, I still haven't figured out the clues of this road.

The main reason is that Shen Fan has too many flowers and plants. I always feel that this one has just been seen before, but when I turn my head, the other one is closer to the one I saw before than the one just now!

So I was dizzy.

Eventually I ended up at a place I've never been to.

I think this may be the tree my uncle mentioned at the dinner table.

Chant chestnut tree.

It was a very big tree, the kind that a person could not hug with open arms, and it was also very tall, its branches almost covered the top of the two-storey house, and it was covered with pink flower buds. Some bloom quietly. I don’t know what a magnificent and magnificent picture it will be when the flowers are fully bloomed in a few days.

But at this moment, even if there are only a few flowers in full bloom under the sparse moonlight, to me, it is a painting that is done in seconds.

Presumably he didn't know I was coming.

He was sitting in a wheelchair, with loose hair, raised his eyes slightly, his calm eyes penetrated the branches of the chestnut tree, as if he saw something else in it.

And I just saw him.
