Since Cheng Yun returned to his hometown, he finally left his job as a chef and was demoted to a fire-burner.

Luckily, he's quite fond of fires.

The earthen stoves in the countryside are very large, and an area is set aside for firewood. Set up a low bench, and the person who burns the fire sits on the bench and mechanically sends firewood to the stove to bake the fire, which can not only chat with the relatives gathered in the kitchen if only a family can talk, but also stare at the flame for an hour and slowly let go of empty thoughts.

When he was a child, Cheng Yun liked to squeeze around the stove, chatting with his brothers and sisters who were burning the fire together, or playing with his mobile phone alone, which was very comfortable.

And it's a lot easier than being in charge.

There was a crackling sound in the stove, and the sound of flames burning, and above his head was the sound of Uncle Cheng Yun brushing the big iron pot with a pot, which was very rhythmic.

After a while, Xiao Lori suddenly jumped to Cheng Yun's side and squatted down next to him. It looked up at him, then turned to stare at the fire in the stove with him, its starry eyes shining with the flames.

Cheng Yun glanced down at it, smiled, stretched out his hand to touch its little head, and asked, "Why don't you play with Cheng Yan outside?"

Little Lori narrowed her eyes slightly as if she was enjoying it, and opened her eyes again when she heard the words, revealing a trace of disdain.

Cut! That stupid mortal, how could this king be able to play with her?

Then it glanced at Cheng Yun with dissatisfaction-

Also, don't keep saying that this king is like an ordinary cat!

Soon little Lori narrowed her eyes again, feeling the slight burning sensation from the flames in the stove, and feeling the warm palm of the human rubbing against its head.

Uncle Cheng Yun quickly discovered Little Lori, smiled and said, "What kind of strange cat are you, not only recognize people, but also be so clingy!"

Little Lori opened her eyes like lightning, looked up at Uncle Cheng Yun, and shook her head slightly as Uncle Cheng Yun's figure swayed.

Aunt Cheng Yun, who was chopping vegetables, turned around and said, "This little thing is so beautiful, but don't get dirty by the stove." ”

Cheng Yun smiled and said, "No." ”

Little Lori was stunned, turned her head and looked at the mortal seriously, showing a somewhat surprised and somewhat satisfied expression.

It seems that I didn't expect this mortal to speak so nicely.

Aunt Cheng Yun said again: "No, if you get a pot of soot at that time, it will be more difficult for you to bathe it than to kill it." ”

Little Lori raised her head slightly, looking at Aunt Cheng Yun proudly.

This king is born with no poison and no dirt!

Uncle Cheng Yun laughed and said, "If you wait until you are burned by the torch and become a bald cat, then it will be interesting!"

Little Lori immediately continued to glare at him.

At this time, Cheng Yun suddenly heard some long-lost voices outside, which made him feel a little kind. His eyes lit up and he immediately looked out.

"It seems that the third aunt and the fourth aunt have arrived. He said.

"Mostly. Uncle Cheng Yun looked at his watch, "It's half past ten, it's almost time to arrive." ”

"Call them in to help. Cheng Yun smiled.

Little Lori turned her head to stare at him suspiciously, and then looked out suspiciously.

Third aunt, fourth aunt......

These are two new terms for it.

Old man Cheng's five children died on the surface, but in fact, the family was poor in the early years, and it happened to be in such an era, and the fifth daughter couldn't afford to raise it, so he gave it away. There has been no news since. Professor Cheng is the second son, in addition to the first two sons, Mr. Cheng has two daughters, that is, Cheng Yun's third aunt and fourth aunt, and everyone has a good relationship.

The third aunt is called Cheng Suping, and the fourth aunt is called Cheng Suyu.

The third aunt married a car repair master, named Feng Songhao, and her personality is a little stingy, but she is honest and responsible, and she has opened the car repair shop in the county a few years ago, and her life is not bad.

They have a daughter and a son, who are Cheng Yun's cousin and cousin. My cousin's name is Feng Yujia, who is just one month older than Cheng Yan, but she is one grade lower than Cheng Yan, and she is still in her third year of high school this year. My cousin's name is Feng Yuze, and it seems that he will be in his third year of high school next year.

The fourth aunt has the best family background, and her uncle's surname is Xiao, and she has invested in a lot of businesses. But I don't know why, they always shout that they don't have money, they buy millions of houses, and they have to let Mr. Cheng make up a little bit of decoration. Fortunately, Mr. Cheng was very happy that he didn't ask for Cheng Yun's parents' inheritance, otherwise they would have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for decoration.

No, the fourth aunt and the fourth uncle are still very good to him.

They also have a daughter and a son, the eldest daughter is named Xiao Xuan, who was born in the same year as Feng Yuze, and is also in high school, but it is said that she is a little rebellious. The youngest son's name is Xiao Nian, and he is still in junior high school.

Because Xiao Xuan and Xiao Nian were young and were in Jinguan when they were born, Cheng Yun had relatively little contact with them.

He is more familiar with the lobby brother and second cousin, as well as Feng Yujia, the fourth cousin.

Sure enough, Cheng Qiuya quickly jumped into the kitchen and said, "The third aunt and the fourth aunt have arrived!"

Cheng Yun nodded and said, "I heard the voice." ”

Uncle Cheng Yun reprimanded mercilessly: "I know how to jump around all day long, and I don't know how to come in to help at home......! As a result, you pulled your brother in!"

"Hehe......" Cheng Qiuya was scolded and skinned.

"Eh, this cat is here, too. Cheng Qiuya looked down at Little Lori, "They all said that this is a god cat." ”

"Who are they?"

"It's Feng Han and them...... Can I touch it?"

"Hah!!

Cheng Yun shrugged at her.

Cheng Qiuya was still unwilling, staring at Xiao Loli's face that was still full of fairy spirit even if she was full of anger, and said: "Isn't it sticky to you, you hold it, and I can touch it." I'll just touch it, just take it. ”

"Go, go!" Cheng Yun drove her away mercilessly.

After a while, Feng Yujia and Feng Yuze ran in, and at a glance they saw Cheng Yun who was burning the fire in the stove house.

"Third brother. ”

"Happy New Year, third brother. ”

The two siblings hurriedly laughed and shouted.

"Uh......" Cheng Yun used to think that this title was nothing, but he hadn't heard it for more than half a year, so he actually remembered a certain sketch.

"The third brother moved his buttocks, and I also came in to roast the fire. Feng Yujia leaned over to him, "It's okay to have the air conditioner in the car, but it's cold when you get out of the car." ”

"There's nowhere to go. Cheng Yun said helplessly.

"This cat ......"

Little Lori turned her head and stared at her indifferently.

"Ah!!What a beautiful cat!" Feng Yujia snorted softly, staring at the little Lori without blinking, and reached out to touch it.

"Hah!!" little Lori gritted her teeth and opened her small slap slightly, revealing her sharp claws.

"Shhh

"Don't touch it!" Cheng Yun reminded.

"Can't you touch it? whose cat?" asked Feng Yujia.

“…… It's mine. Cheng Yun said while soothing Xiao Lori's increasingly irritable mood.

"Whew......"

Feng Yujia was a little disappointed.

Looking at the well-behaved little Lori under Cheng Yun, she exhaled in discouragement, so she had to squat down on the edge of the bench and stretch out her two hands to bake the fire.

"Third brother, when did you come back?"

"Came back the other day. ”

"I heard you're a single dog again?"

“…… Oh, yes. ”

"It's a pity, I haven't even seen my last girlfriend, so it's gone. Feng Yujia sighed.

“…… I heard that you have the college entrance examination next year?"

"yes, what's wrong?"

"The results are okay, right?"

"Also...... Not bad. Feng Yujia's expression was a little unnatural.

"It doesn't matter, there's still one semester left, and you can always get into a good university if you work hard. Cheng Yun smiled at this girl, "But I can't relax during the winter vacation, I still have a few sets of exercises that Cheng Yan hasn't finished at home, hell difficulty, you also know how good Cheng Yan is in the exam, if you finish these sets of exercises, you will definitely be able to get as good as Cheng Yan!"

“……”

Feng Yujia's expression was very embarrassed.

It stands to reason that she is still Cheng Yan's sister, although she is only one month older, even if she is only one day older, she is still a sister. But not only is she one level lower than Cheng Yan's younger sister in study, but her academic performance is far inferior. This made her feel extremely frustrated.

Cheng Yan is probably the best handful of 'other people's children'.

And...... Or her cousin!

In the past, her parents also liked to compare Cheng Yan with her, but later they didn't compare, because Cheng Yan had 'changed' into her role model.

"Hmm, why are you looking like that?" Cheng Yunleng said.

"Brother......

"Don't you want to?" Cheng Yun frowned, looked at Feng Yujia's beautiful cheeks, and said, "Shouldn't you be because there are too many people chasing you at school and you don't have the heart to study?" ”

"Third brother...... You're too careful!"

"Huh? Did I guess right?"

"Oops, no!"

"It's okay if you don't have it, it's good if you don't have it, I'll go and tell the third aunt later, I'll bring you Cheng Yan's sprint questions after the New Year, and you can't delay your studies." Cheng Yun glanced at Feng Yujia and stuffed a piece of wood and a small bundle of corn stalks into the stove hole.

"Third brother, I was wrong. ”

"Huh?"

"My third brother is handsome and chic, Yushu is in the wind, and he has a good demeanor, how can he be a single dog! My third brother is not worried about not finding a girlfriend!" Feng Yujia hurriedly said.

"Backache ......"

"I'll give you a beating!" Feng Yujia hurriedly came behind him.

"Leg pain ......"

"I'll beat it!" Feng Yujia took out one hand to beat his leg, and the other hand was still beating his back.

"Comfortable!" Cheng Yun sighed.

Uncle Cheng Yun and the eldest aunt smiled and watched their brother and sister fight, while Feng Yuze had a look of contempt on his face, 'I didn't expect Feng Yujia to be so undisciplined'.

After a while, Cheng Yun's third aunt and fourth uncle all went into the kitchen to help, and Xiao Xuan and Xiao Nian also walked in.

They repeated the plot of marveling at the appearance of the little Lori, wanting to touch it and being scared away by the little Lori.

The kitchen in the countryside is always the busiest and happiest place for the family, especially during the Chinese New Year, which is much more lively and cheerful than in the hall. After Xiao Xuan and Xiao Nian went out, Cheng Yun's third and fourth aunts also came in to inspect several times, but the kitchen didn't need so many people, they just stood and commented on the dishes in the pot, chatted a few words, and then went out again.

However, Feng Yujia and Feng Yuze stayed by the stove hole, talking and laughing with Cheng Yun around the fire.

The kitchen is indeed much warmer than outside.

A moment later, Cheng Yan walked in.

Seeing Feng Yujia squatting next to Cheng Yun, holding up her mobile phone to invite Cheng Yun to watch together, the two of them smiled brightly, as if they were much happier than when she and Cheng Yun were together, she walked over quietly.

"Little Lori, are you okay to sit on Cheng Yun's lap?" Cheng Yan pointed at Little Lori, and then pointed to Cheng Yun's leg, gesturing with all her might, trying to make 'a cat' understand what she meant.

Little Lori fell into thought when she heard this.

In this way, Cheng Yan solved the problem that Feng Yujia failed to solve, and sat next to Cheng Yun generously.

"What are you looking at?" she looked at Feng Yujia with an interested expression.

Feng Yujia was stunned, quickly came back to her senses, and said, "A short video, funny." ”

She also handed it to Cheng Yan.

In fact, she is not very familiar with Cheng Yan, the familiarity between the two is probably about the same as that between them and Xiao Xuan and Xiao Nian, plus Cheng Yan is so good, in her growth process, Cheng Yan is like a big demon king, who has brought her countless troubles, and is still ahead of her, to be honest, she is a little unnatural in the face of Cheng Yan. But no matter how sisters they are, no matter how bad the relationship is, it can't be much worse.

Cheng Yan also pretended to be very interested in watching the video, and a shallow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

She doesn't usually laugh often.
