Lin Xia smiled stupidly and didn't answer again.

As he spoke, the car stopped at Mo Lao's residence, his house was located in a remote farm in the eastern suburbs, built a bit like the ancient kind of courtyard, usually in which some flowers and plants were raised, and small animals were raised.

In fact, Mo Lao is a very incomprehensible person, even if Lin Xia has been in a relationship with his master and apprentice for so many years, he is not sure what kind of temperament he is, he is sometimes like a child, no matter how big or small things are willing to deal with others, sometimes he is very stubborn, but no one can change the things he decides.

He is sometimes kind-hearted, sometimes ruthless, and what he wants to do depends on his mood.

He has no wife and children, and loves her and Yun Ze as his own biological children, Lin Xia remembered asking him once why he didn't get married and have children, he only replied that she was still young and didn't understand marriage, in his opinion, marriage and love coexist, if the person who lived with him for a lifetime is not what he likes, then there is no need to stay together.

As a result of his assertion, he was still alone at the age of sixty.

Hearing the sound of parking outside the yard, Mo Lao put down the kettle in his hand for watering flowers, hurriedly greeted him, and said with a laugh, "Lin girl, why did you remember to come to see my old man today." ”

When he came out and saw the person standing next to Lin Xia, he was stunned, and then his face sank, and he said with an unhappy face, "Who is this, didn't you tell you not to bring strangers in?"

A look of apology flashed on Yun Ze's face, he glanced at Lin Xia, walked to Mo Lao's side, and bowed respectfully, "I'm sorry Master, forgive me for coming to see you now." ”

Mo Lao took a step back and immediately waved his hand, "Don't, I'm not your master, I can't afford to be called by you." ”

Others don't understand him, but Lin Xia does, he just says this to be angry with Yun Ze.

walked over and hooked Mo Lao's shoulder, "Okay old man, senior brother has finally come back, do you want to scold him away?" If you really don't want to see him, then I'll just let him go." ”

"Go. Mo Lao slapped Lin Xia's hand away and said dissatisfiedly, "He hasn't come back to see me for five years, I can't lose my temper anymore? And you, even lied to me with him!"

Lin Xia smiled and winked at Yun Ze, Yun Ze understood, hurriedly walked to Mo Lao's side, and said flatteringly, "Master, don't be angry with me, I've actually been thinking about you all the time, but I'm too busy to take care of it, I'll see you as soon as I come back." ”

In front of Mo Lao, no matter how Yun Ze changes, he is always well-behaved and obedient.

Mo Lao wasn't really angry with him, but because he missed him too much, he suddenly saw his beloved apprentice come back, and his emotions were inevitably a little uncontrollable, and when he heard Yun Ze say this, his anger had already disappeared.

Turning around, he patted Yun Ze on the shoulder, and pretended to be angry and said, "Stinky boy, don't think I don't know that you came back to see me for a long time." ”

Yun Ze's face was embarrassed for a while, he knew that Mo Lao was very smart and couldn't hide anything from him.

Ignoring the embarrassment on his face, Mo Lao shook his head helplessly, "That's it, it's good to come back, I'll be relieved to see that everything is okay with you, Lin girl, you go buy some food, and the three of us master and apprentice will have a good drink today." ”

Having guessed that he would say this, Lin Xia said with a smile, "We have already bought vegetables on the way here, you two haven't seen each other for a long time, let's have a good chat, I'll cook this meal today." ”

With that, he took out the ingredients he bought from the car, and went into the kitchen alone, leaving space for the two of them.

In order to give Mo Lao and Yun Ze more time to talk, Lin Xia's cooking speed was deliberately slow, and it took her two hours to finish the meal that could have been cooked in an hour.

At the dinner table, Lin Xia poured wine for the three people, and then picked up the wine glass, "The three of us have not sat at the same table for a long time to eat, I hope the senior brother will not leave again, cheers." ”

The happiest is Mo Lao, the two apprentices can sit at the same table with him to eat, which is something he has been looking forward to for a long time, and he drinks it with a wine glass.

Yun Ze frowned and snatched the wine glass from his hand, "You drink less, I don't plan to leave when I come back this time, there will be many opportunities to drink in the future, don't hurt your body." ”

"Senior brother, just let him drink, he hasn't touched wine for three years, I'm happy today, it's okay to drink something. ”

The older he gets, Mo Lao's body is not as good as before, Lin Xia has been angry with him several times for the sake of his body, and he is also very face-saving to Lin Xia, he has not touched wine for three years, and today is rare to be happy, let him drink a little.

Seeing this, Yun Ze no longer discouraged.

After three rounds of drinking, Lin Xia suddenly remembered something, leaned in front of Mo Lao, and said with a smile, "Old man, your favorite apprentice is back, don't I have to hand you over paintings and accompany you on adventures every year?" It is enough to have him accompany you." ”

After hearing this, Mo Lao immediately blew his beard angrily and glared at him, "Think beautifully, you lied to my fame and want to regret it, how can there be such a cheap thing, I warn you, if you dare to break your word, I can't spare you." ”

Touching his nose stupidly, Lin Xia looked at Yun Ze with a resentful expression, "Senior brother, you can help me say good things, you know that I have always disliked painting......"

Yun Ze smiled and shook his head, "Master has worked hard to cultivate us, but I started my own company, I don't have the energy to continue painting, the matter of the glorious master will be handed over to you, junior sister, don't let senior brother and master down." ”

"Inhumane!" Lin Xia drank the wine from the cup angrily.

"Girl, don't say that about your senior brother, you begged to leave. After a change of words, he said to Yun Ze again, "Don't you want to stay out of the matter, no matter how you mess up, you are also my apprentice, since you are back, also hand me an assignment, let me see if your ability to paint has decreased." ”

As soon as the words fell, Lin Xia hurriedly nodded, "This is a good way, anyway, it will be okay for Senior Brother to come back these days." ”

The corners of Yun Ze's mouth twitched, and he said reluctantly, "Master, don't embarrass me, right?"

He has more important things to do, how can he have the time to paint?

"That's it, if you don't want me to die in the future and have no regrets, just give me honest homework. ”

Lin Xia and Yun Ze's faces changed, and they hurriedly said, "What nonsense, you are very strong, and it is not a problem to live a hundred years old, don't curse yourself." ”

"If you coax the child, don't coax me anymore, I know very well what my own body looks like. Mo Lao's expression suddenly said seriously, "My greatest wish is that you can make a name for yourself in the calligraphy and painting world, and it will not be in vain for me to cultivate you." ”

Lin Xia's expression froze, and he lowered his head and didn't speak again.
