In the evening, after dinner, Zhu Yuanyu was chatting with his parents.

Then remembering the scene at noon, Zhu Yuanyu asked casually, "That's my aunt's family?"

Wang Chunmei's eyes were sharp, "Son, have you met them?"

"Well, I met in the garden today, saying that it was my cousin, and the other called me my eldest cousin, I don't know when I had such a few more relatives...... Zhu Yuanyu sneered.

Wang Chunmei glared at Zhu Dafu and complained: "Everyone has defected to our house, your father is kind, so he took him in, not to mention you, even I met your aunt for the first time, and I haven't been in contact for many years......"

Zhu Dafu just laughed and didn't dare to say anything.

"Well, your aunt still treated your father well when he was young, and we should take them in, but it is only right for them to find a place to settle down and make a living. After speaking, Wang Chunmei glanced at Zhu Dafu.

Zhu Dafu nodded again and again, "It should be!" and then looked at Wang Chunmei flatteringly.

Wang Chunmei gave him a blank look and didn't care about it anymore.

Zhu Dafu breathed a sigh of relief gently.

While the three of them were talking about something else, a maid came in.

"Master, madam, young master. The maid asked for a goodbye, "Auntie and grandmother are here." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu walked in with a smile.

"Yo, my nephew is also here! Come, come here, I'm your aunt! I've grown so big......" Zhu had a happy expression on his face, as if he wanted to pull Zhu Yuanyu's hand and look at it carefully.

The three of them stood up when Zhu came in, the maid also stepped aside, and Zhu Yuanyu saluted, inadvertently avoiding Zhu's hand.

Zhu didn't notice it, and after Zhu Yuanyu finished saluting, her hand was also retracted, but her eyes were still looking.

Wang Chunmei's eyes flashed with an inexplicable dark light, and she stepped forward slowly, holding Zhu's hand, and said softly: "Auntie, you sit." Come here, serve tea to my aunt, and bring some seasonal fruits from Zhuangzi today, and give my aunt and them a taste. Auntie, you have a good mouth, the lychee on the Zhuangzi is the sweetest, you want to taste it today. ”

Zhu sat down and nodded with a smile, "Okay, good, it's rare that you have this intention, how can I refuse, although I am old and my stomach is not as good as when I was young, but I can still eat a few lychees." ”

"It's not, lychee is a rare thing, mother, you have to eat more, don't waste your cousin's heart." Guo Hua'er squeezed forward, and a heavy smell of fat powder spread, and there was a faint smell of sour sweat.

Wang Chunmei turned sideways and said with a smile: "My cousin has been resting well recently, if there is anything inconsiderate, please bear with me." ”

"Hey, what's the matter, it's all a family......" Guo Hua'er's eyes lit up, she did have a lot of dissatisfaction, since the host opened her mouth, she didn't have to be polite, she smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's-"

"Hey, why don't you come with my brother-in-law? How can this be done, come on, let someone send some seasonal fruits to my brother-in-law, so that he can taste it too." How could Wang Chunmei let Guo Hua'er say it, she interrupted her at that time.

Jokes, a big family came to fight the autumn breeze, and the host's family said polite words, but he still dared to be dissatisfied with the host's family?

Guo Huaer wanted to continue, but the next person brought tea and fruits.

Wang Chunmei greeted warmly, "Auntie, come, try it." Cousin, you can eat too, don't be polite. ”

Seeing that everyone's attention was shifted to fruits, and Guo Huaer was also greedy, it was the first time she had the opportunity to eat lychees, so she swallowed her words back into her stomach, planning to find an opportunity to mention it to Wang Chunmei again in the future.

Wang Chunmei sneered in her heart, don't stop your mouth now.

The lychee sent by Zhuangzi in the south is cinnamon flavor, also known as cinnamon branch, the fruit is round and spherical, the shell is light red, thin and brittle, the flesh inside is yellow and white, soft and full, the core is very small, the taste is very sweet, it is one of the best varieties.

The fruit bowl presented by the maid has peeled lychee flesh and unpeeled whole lychees, which are separated separately, and the peeled ones also have small bamboo skewers, which are convenient for people to eat.

"Son, your favorite lychee, eat one. Zhu Dafu pinched the bamboo skewer with his index finger and thumb, picked up a big and round lychee meat, and handed it to Zhu Yuanyu, he remembered, his son loved to eat lychees when he was a child, so he would ask someone to buy a farm in the south, which was specially used to cultivate lychee trees, and of course there were some other fruits unique to the south, so that when his son wanted to eat it, he could transport it from Zhuangzi. This time, the fruit was also delivered to Beijing by Zhuangzi's people day and night.

Zhu Yuanyu stretched out his hand to take the lychee meat and took a bite, the unique lychee fragrance instantly flooded in his mouth, and the sweet juice enriched the whole taste, he smiled: "It's so sweet." ”

Zhu Dafu smiled with satisfaction, and it was one of his life's goals to bring happiness to his family.

"It turns out that my cousin likes to eat lychees!" Zhu Rumei giggled: "Coincidentally, my favorite food is also lychees!"

Everyone only smiled when they heard this, no one debunked her lies, how did a wild girl who grew up in the countryside have the ability to eat expensive lychees, knowing that she was deliberately pleasing her, it was up to her.

Zhu Yuanyu smiled indifferently, and said to Zhu Dafu: "Dad, how many lychees are there?

Wang Chunmei was very pleased, her son knew that asking about his grandfather meant that he cared about his mother's family, she was worried that her son was not close enough to her mother's family, but now she was relieved, she smiled softly: "I have already ordered someone to send it over, and there is still one at home, enough for you to eat for a long time." ”

Zhufu has its own freezer, and lychees can be placed in it to keep fresh.

Zhu Yuanyu nodded and said, "I want to send some lychees to the General's Mansion and the Xianwang Mansion, is it enough?"

Zhu Dafu and Wang Chunmei didn't ask why, of course their son had his own reasons for sending it, Zhu Dafu smiled and said: "Enough, Zhuangzi sent a few big baskets, you can decide who you want to give." ”

"Oh, the eldest cousin still knows the virtuous king and the general? This is incredible! That's a great nobleman!" Guo Hua'er said as if she had seen someone with her own eyes, with a look of envy and pride.

Zhu Yuanyu tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Hehe." ”

Guo Hua'er stuffed two lychee meat in her mouth as if she didn't want money, and she also picked the big ones to eat, chew it, chew it, and the two small lychee cores flew out of her big mouth and landed on the clean and tidy floor tiles.

She herself didn't realize what a faux pas this was, and it wasn't until Zhu coughed and glared at her that she spit the lychee kernel on the plate that she wanted to spit on the ground again.

She stuffed another lychee into her mouth and muttered: "There are many rules in big households, I don't think I'm just spitting in the countryside, and I haven't seen anyone say anything, just spit out and sweep it clean, it's not that there are no minions, you have to find some work for them, otherwise they all eat dry rice......"

"What are you talking about, eat and swallow before talking!" Zhu Shi trained, and then smiled at Wang Chunmei embarrassedly, "Your cousin is like this, making you laugh." ”

Wang Chunmei's smile was not as good as her eyes, "It's okay, it's understandable." ”

"Hey, how blessed you must be to marry such a virtuous wife as you, it's really blessed by the ancestors!" Zhu smiled and looked at Wang Chunmei with a kind face, then glared at Guo Hua'er and scolded: "Eat less, you will feel good when you get angry!"

Guo Hua'er was dissatisfied, "I've only eaten a few! It's so easy to get angry! Besides, this lychee is a rare thing, and if you miss it, you can only wait for next year, but it's not something you can eat every day......

Zhu Yuanyu put down the lychee in his hand and stood up, "Dad, mother, I'll go back to the room first." Auntie, you eat slowly. ”

Wang Chunmei knew that her son was annoyed, and she also felt annoyed, so she didn't keep him, and whispered to the maid next to her: "Later, someone will send the lychee to the young master's study." ”

Then she smiled and nodded, "Go ahead." ”

Zhu Dafu also smiled and bowed his head, "Don't read too late, rest early." ”

......

Walking on the corridor, Li Zhuangzhuang walked in the direction of the front with a lantern, and the moon in the sky shone silver-white light.

"Zhuangzhuang, wait for you to come to the study, today's lychee is quite sweet. ”

Zhu Yuanyu looked at Li Zhuangzhuang's tall back, and remembered that he seemed to have said that he was fortunate to eat a lychee given to him by someone else when he was a child, and he still remembers that taste.

Li Zhuang turned his head violently, his mouth wide open, "Really, young master, can you give me food?"

"When did I tell you a lie, young master, it's just a mere lychee, and it's up to you how much you want to eat. Even those people can eat as much as they want, why can't you?"

Zhu Yuanyu sneered.

Li Zhuangzhuang smiled, "Young master, are you talking about the relatives you met today? He remembered that the woman who called the young master his eldest cousin today wanted to beat herself, and he remembered this hatred!

Zhu Yuanyu smiled as if he understood his thoughts.

The two of them quickly walked to the study, and someone had already lit the candle first.

"Li Zhuangzhuang, you go to my room and move my pillow and futon to the study for me. ”

Zhu Yuanyu thought of the female ghost Xiao Man in the room, twitched the corners of his mouth, and commanded helplessly.

"Young master, why do you want to sleep in the study?" Li Zhuangzhuang looked puzzled.

"Oh, because there's a female ghost in my room. ”

Li Zhuangzhuang's eyes widened, "But young master, don't you know how to catch ghosts?"

"She's still useful for the time being. Okay, don't ask, go quickly!"

When Li Zhuangzhuang came back with his things, the subordinates who had been instructed by Wang Chunmei also sent lychees to the study.

"After laying out the futon, let's come and eat lychees. Zhu Yuanyu sat on a chair, holding an ancient book in his hand, and said to Li Zhuangzhuang in the middle.

"Hey, okay young master!"
