Suzhou City, Dengyun Town.

Floral Lane.

This location, as far as Ning Xuanyuan is concerned, has long been familiar with it.

After all, I've lived here for many years.

And the Cao family settled here.

Ten years have passed, and many things in Broken Flower Lane have not changed.

Familiar accents.

Stale wires that are staggered horizontally and vertically, randomly distributed.

and the birds that occasionally fluttered up, and from above the pavilion, a small sky flashed away.

Everything is what it looks like in memory.

Not far from the door, Ning Xuanyuan got out of the car directly, left alone.

As for Yuan Shu, who accompanied him, he didn't keep up this time.

There was a light rain two days ago.

The road in the alley is still a little wet.

"28256, 28257, 282931......"

When, Ning Xuanyuan stood in front of the familiar alleyway wall somewhere.

Three or five children jumping and jumping together, with a fleeting young accent, walked away from him like the wind.

After a few words, Ning Xuanyuan's childhood memories were immediately evoked.

He squinted, couldn't help it, and hummed along, "Machine spirit, chopping kitchen knife, the person who picked, picked, picked, picked over there has already gone home." ”

"Haha. ”

After finishing the song, Ning Xuanyuan stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of his mouth and laughed heartily.

He remembered.

At that time, there was a pond at the end of the roadway.

Every summer, I take a large group of children from the same village to jump into the river to catch shrimp.

Oh yes, and the reluctance on the face.

However, it is still a little trouble Cao Nuo who is following behind.

Pigtails, coarse cloth clothes.

She was used to putting her hands behind her back, deliberately walking crookedly, and she didn't look at Ning Xuanyuan.

After that, I grew up slowly.

Slowly, some of the childhood flavors are gone.

Ning Xuanyuan never complained about Cao Nuo when he grew up, and even said a word of conscience, he hoped that she would live well and be happy.

After all, he doesn't have many friends.

relatives, even more few.

And the Cao family is his relatives.

If Cao Zhen hadn't adopted him back then and gave him Ning Xuanyuan a stable life, this year and today, he might not have the achievements he has now.

Half an hour later.

Ning Xuanyuan, who stopped and watched all the way, finally arrived in front of Cao's house.

It's surprising that today's Cao family seems to be holding some kind of party.

From the open door, at a glance, there are constantly figures coming in and out.

He even saw a child holding a pink egg in his hand, showing off who was bigger and rounder, and at the same time putting his left hand on his right hand, but he was reluctant to eat it.

Of course, Ning Xuanyuan also saw it, the middle-aged man who was sitting in front of the door, erlang's legs, and looking up at the sky.

Maybe he had just taken a puff of dry tobacco, and the middle-aged man coughed heavily, and he couldn't help it, so he took two more sips.

As the saying goes, a few cigarettes afterwards will beat the living immortals.

At this moment.

For the middle-aged man Cao Zhen, the big things are far from being as happy as a puff of cigarette.

"If you are not in good health, you will smoke less, you are over half a hundred years old, and you are still so willful?"

Ning Xuanyuan frowned, jumped over a few figures, stood in front of Cao Zhen, and reminded in a low voice.

It's not an accusation, but a little excitement and emotion.

It's been ten years.

Finally home.

"Lao Tzu is willing, do you want to take care of it?"

Cao Zhen didn't react for a short time, and after pouting and choking back, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

When he drooped his eyelids suddenly.

I happened to see that familiar face.

And, after ten years of wind and frost, it has been as majestic as a mountain.

"Xuan, Xuanyuan?"

Cao Zhen coldly slapped himself, estimating that it hurt too much, and bared his teeth and scratched his face.

After an absurd action, it was determined that the person in front of him was a real living person.

Ning Xuanyuan took off his white gloves, leaned behind his back, and stared at Cao Zhen quietly with a smile, "What's the matter, I don't know your son?"

Step on!

Cao Zhen stood up, looked at it several times, and finally raised his head and laughed.

"Good boy, do you finally remember that you still have a father-in-law? I thought that you would never come back in this life?"

Cao Zhen met Ning Xuanyuan's left chest, and a fist came on the spot.

Ning Xuanyuan smiled and did not move.

In other words, if someone dares to rebel against him like this, within a few minutes, anyone who behaves inappropriately will definitely be killed on the spot.

After all, a meritorious general, with his body as a point, is half a circle, and it is a forbidden area.

Whoever dares to offend will be punished with the crime of disobedience and killed.

But.

The person in front of him is a father-in-law who treats him with nurturing grace, and there are some rules that can be ignored.

"What's the matter?

Ning Xuanyuan looked away, looked into the courtyard, and winked at Cao Zhen.

This question not only made Cao Zhen's face stiff, but also snorted a few times by the way.

Such an act, in Ning Xuanyuan's eyes, somewhat has the appearance of a child being angry.

After being silent for a long time, Cao Zhen waved his hand, shook his head and sighed, "Nuo girl is getting married, today's engagement banquet, no, your stepmother has to show off her beauty, shouting five and drinking, and many neighbors came to congratulate." ”

Nuo girl, naturally refers to Cao Nuo.

Ning Xuanyuan touched his chin, a little surprised, he really didn't expect that the time would be so coincidental.

However, in terms of expressions, there is not much change.

Everything is uneventful.

"Lao Cao, you didn't come to help, just squatted at the door and smoked, don't you know, Nuo girl is engaged today?"

The two didn't have time to say hello yet.

A woman, rubbing her hands against her apron, approached.

The smile on his face had just bloomed, and the moment he saw Ning Xuanyuan at a glance, he suddenly became strange, surprised, excited, and naturally a little inexplicably embarrassed.

"Stepmother. ”

Ning Xuanyuan nodded and greeted with a smile.

Stepmother Han Cui was stunned for a long time before she reacted, "Xuanyuan?

"It's me. ”

With Han Cui's exclamation, the neighbors who had no intention of paying attention and chatting with each other were all attracted, and then turned their heads to look at it.

Ning Xuanyuan!

This name, which has been silent in the hearts of the neighbors for ten years, but has not completely erased the traces, made a group of people stunned.

Even if I didn't think about it for a short time, I was reminded by others and came back to my senses.

"It's Lao Cao's godson, he actually came back. ”

"Think about it, you've been gone for ten years, right?"

There was a whisper.

made many neighbors who still remembered the jokes of the year look complicated again.

"Lao Cao's matter is still angry that Cao Nuo failed to marry this godson, but he didn't think about it, this guy will not return sooner or later, but the appearance of Cao Nuo on the day of his engagement is not ...... Isn't it a kiss?"

"What nonsense? Cao Nuo is a good man, that fiancé is excellent in all aspects, how can he be the son of Lao Cao Zhen's poor and sour son, can he compare?"

One glance at you, one word from me.

It's all over the place.

makes the atmosphere that should be celebrated like being poured a basin of cold water on the head, which is weird and abnormal.
