In just a few seconds, Xiao Nuo cautiously walked towards Song Peili step by step, and the surroundings were inexplicably quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on the two of them, holding their breath. Xiao Nuo looked left and right, this tense atmosphere made him a little nervous, his little hands were firmly clenched together, and from time to time he had to look back at An Yu who was standing behind him.

Anyu looked at him and smiled, gesturing him to move forward.

Xiao Nuo walked up to Song Peili, opened his hands, and called out in a milky voice, "Grandpa." ”

Song Peili smiled and stretched out his hand to hug him, and happily responded, a simple action, others were greatly relieved when they saw it, He Jiali even reddened her eyes with excitement, held Song Jing's hand tightly, looked at her sideways, and couldn't even say a complete sentence.

Song Jing chuckled and shook her head, held her hand with her backhand, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, calm down." ”

"Good, good. He Jiali took a breath, her eyes fell on her grandson, and when she saw the smile on Song Peili's face, she showed a gentle smile.

Song Jing secretly pushed her, and she walked over and sat beside Song Peili.

"Grandma. When Arnold saw her, he laughed and shouted.

"Hmm. He Jiali smiled and reached out and touched his head.

The atmosphere in the house gradually warmed up, and with one more child, the house was more lively than before. Zhou Yanqing sat aside, watching them laugh and laugh, Song Xihe sat beside him, and would take it out from time to time to take a look, Zhou Yanqing glanced at it with his spare eyes, reached out and picked up the teacup on the table next to him, took a sip, and said with a smile: "It's all a holiday, third brother, are you still so busy with your business?"

Song Xihe heard the sound, the movements in his hands paused, and he quietly clenched his palms, glanced at him sideways, smiled lowly, stretched out his hand to stop his shoulder, and said, "You now have a wife and a son, your third brother and I don't even have a girlfriend, busy with personal affairs, there should be no problem, right?"

"The third brother has a girlfriend?"

"Then if you don't have it, maybe you'll become a girlfriend?"

Zhou Yanqing pursed her lips and smiled slightly, patted his thigh gently, then rubbed it twice, and said with a smile: "If you have a girlfriend, don't hide it." ”

"Of course. ”

The two glanced at each other, and Zhou Yanqing withdrew his hand. The corners of his lips were lightly hooked, and he continued to drink tea. Song Xihe narrowed his eyes, glanced at Zhou Yanqing with his spare eyes, frowned imperceptibly, and tightened his hand, and then put it in his pocket and didn't take it out to play with.

When night fell, the family sat around the table, the dishes were very rich, it was prepared by He Jiali and Song Jing, the two people had a clear division of labor, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in recent years was prepared by the two of them, and there were new tricks every year, this year He Jiali also specially invited the chef back to learn cooking skills, this dish is better than the previous time, and it is the New Year. The dishes served on this plate are not inferior to the banquets of the big hotel.

Color, flavor, and flavor.

Song Jing said with a smile: "Today's table of dishes are all made by my sister-in-law, I promise that I haven't touched a single dish, you can eat with peace of mind." ”

Song Xihe was already moving with chopsticks, and he sighed and said, "Mom, your skills are getting better and better, you can open a restaurant, with a little operation, the business must be very good, maybe you can create your own brand and open a national chain restaurant." ”

"You stinky boy, you still point to me, an old woman, to make money for you? If you want me to make money for you, you can marry me a daughter-in-law this year, give birth to a little grandson and give me a hug, I will cook for you every day, and every day is not the same. ”

Song Xihe smiled and said jokingly: "If you just want to hold your grandson, it's not impossible, I still have this fertility, I don't know if the old lady you mind having a child and not having a mother?"

"You bastard, how old are you!" He Jiali glared at him, stretched out her hand to hit him, pretending to be angry, but the atmosphere was still happy.

He quickly dodged He Jiali's fist, hid behind Zhou Yanqing, revealed half of his face, glanced sideways at Zhou Yanqing, and said, "Let the fourth child work hard, have another daughter come out, and make up a good word." That's it, as for me, don't worry. It is said that a man with forty-one flowers must be a girl killer. I'm not yet forty, and when I reach forty, I'll go and stand in front of the Communication University. ”

"I'm sure to pick a young and beautiful little daughter-in-law for you to come back, now it's better to urge the fourth, the fourth is a ready-made good job." Do you say it's the fourth?" Song Xihe raised his chin and pointed the finger at Zhou Yanqing.

Zhou Yanqing raised his eyebrows, glanced at Song Xihe with a smile, and said: "Third brother, you are not kind like this, I didn't ask you just now, who is the person who is so active in texting, and now you are going to retreat such a difficult task on me." ”

"What, third child, do you have a girlfriend?"

"No, no, no. Song Xihe waved his hand, and then wanted to point the finger elsewhere.

As soon as her eyes fell on Chen Flail's body, she seemed to notice something, and immediately swallowed the food in her mouth, and without waiting for Song Xihe to speak, she said, "Yes, yes, I also saw the third brother always watching and calling, there must be something." With you, we will be generous and straightforward, and we will not bully the third sister-in-law. Look at your secretive appearance, others still think how terrible our group is. ”

Chen Flails said, suddenly as if he thought of something, and straightened his back, "It can't be her, right?"

"Who?" said Carrie, apparently very interested.

Song Xihe frowned and glared at her fiercely, as if he was reproaching her for her unrighteousness.

"It can't be Xiang Ran, right?" Chen Flails grinned, his eyes full of banter.

He Jiali asked, "Which one is Xiang Ran?"

"It's his current assistant, maybe he did it, and he is a person who was trained by the third brother. I used to be a classmate, quite able to endure hardships, the family is ordinary, and I have a younger brother, and my mother passed away two years ago. Now the two sisters and brothers depend on each other. Chen Flail gave a brief introduction.

"As long as the character is good, there is nothing wrong with everything else. He Jiali looked sideways at Song Xihe and said seriously: "When you go back, you let her come to the house for a meal." ”

"Mom, you also believe what the flail said. ”

Chen Flails shook her head and said with a smile: "I'm not talking nonsense, haven't you always had a good relationship?" And I think Xiang Ran also has that meaning, she hasn't found a boyfriend until now." Third brother, you are responsible for others. ”

Song Xihe narrowed his eyes, glanced sideways at Zhou Yanqing, who was sitting on one side, pursed his lips and smiled at the show, and said, "Chen Flail, are you sure I want to bring her back? I seem to remember that when you were in college, you had three very good friends, right? What is the name of the other one......

"Hey, I just have a close relationship with you, and I thought you were having an underground relationship, could it be that I would be wrong?" Chen Flail's words immediately turned away.

Song Jing knocked her head with chopsticks on the side, and said: "You, you, first solve your own affairs before others, it will be twenty-eight after the New Year, you have been in love with Rong Zheng for a few years, it's time to talk about marriage, I see that the parents of the Rong family also have this intention, and they called me a few days ago to say when they will have a meal together." ”

"If you don't speak, I'm not good at making a sound, you and Rong Zheng have a good discussion these days, when can the two families sit down to eat together and talk about the two of you. Don't put it off, it's not good for you to drag it out for thirty years any longer. ”

Chen Flail paused, laughed dryly, waved his hand, and said, "I know, I have a shop in my heart, let's talk about something else happy." Don't talk about it as soon as the New Year comes. What are you doing, you wish I could get married? If I really get married, you will be alone, and you should be lonely. ”

Song Jing patted her lightly and said with a smile: "You stinky child." ”

Song Peili chuckled lightly and said, "You two, sit down and talk about this, the children are annoyed by it, and even I am tired of listening to it." They are also the eldest and the youngest, and they know what they want and what they don't want. The matter of marriage, let it be, the person is right, it is not a problem at any time, and it is not in a hurry. ”

As he spoke, he took an abalone and put it in He Jiali's bowl, "You, you've been busy all day, eat well." ”

Subsequently, the topic at the dinner table shifted from marrying children to other places.

Xiao Nuo only knows how to eat, and since the beginning of the table, this little mouth has never stopped, eating in his mouth and watching in his eyes. He Jiali looked at his appearance, and couldn't help laughing, and said, "Eat slowly, no one will rob you." ”

"Grandma, it's so delicious, I can't wait to have a hundred mouths and eat it together. He pinched a chicken leg in his hand, and his mouth was greasy, and he looked up at He Jiali and said.

Zhou Yanqing said on the side: "Eat with a eating appearance, put down the chicken leg and eat slowly." ”

"Hmm. Xiao Nuo used his body movements to resist Zhou Yanqing's order.

"Put it down. Zhou Yanqing made a face, glared at him, and said, "There must be rules." ”

"He's still young, you let him go, and it's rare for a child to eat so well. He Jiali said.

Zhou Yanqing said: "To be a descendant of the Song family, you must always have some rules. ”

Song Peili stopped his chopsticks, smiled, and said, "It's so small, health is the priority, and the Song family doesn't have so many rules." If he loves to eat, let him eat. ”

He smiled at Xiao Nuo, took chopsticks and put vegetables into his bowl, "Combine meat and vegetables, don't just eat meat." ”

"Thank you, grandpa. Xiao Nuo smiled at Song Peili, couldn't help but pounce, and kissed him on the cheek, kissing his cheek oily.

Song Peili laughed, and his laughter was very hearty.

Song Peili spoke, Zhou Yanqing naturally didn't say anything anymore, Xiaonuo opened his stomach and began to eat, children have a good appetite, and they don't waste it, they don't eat more when they are full, and the teaching is not bad. The fallen rice was immediately picked up and eaten, and it was not wasted at all.

The people next to him watched him eat, and they all felt very interesting and appetizing.

On this Chinese New Year's Eve, Xiaonuo received several big red envelopes. He was also very happy. After the meal, Chen Flails led him outside to set off the cannons.

The countryside is full of New Year's flavor, and it is very lively at home and outside.

……

Edinburgh has a time difference with China, the day before the Chinese New Year, Cheng Xunchun went to Chinatown to shop, bought a lot of things back, and then made dumplings at home alone, and called Yu Xuejun by the way.

Will be hands-free, while chopping the dumpling filling, while saying, "Dad, can you come to dinner tomorrow?"

"Come, come, come. ”

"Then it's decided, I'll wait for you. ”

Then, the two chatted a few more words and hung up the phone.

Cheng Xunxi made dumplings for an afternoon, and when he finished wrapping the last skin, he looked up, and it was already night outside the window.

Chinatown has a strong New Year's flavor. But there is no feeling here, it is silent and deserted.

Cheng Xunxun thought that the first few days were a little difficult, and then she would get used to such a clean and cold day, but she never found that the days in Edinburgh would be so difficult. It's getting harder and harder every day, and I can't get used to it at all.

Every day she always thinks about a lot of things, a lot of people. Maybe it's because of one person, that's why I feel boundless loneliness.

She turned on the light, took the wrapped dumplings, put them neatly in the refrigerator, and after doing all this, she made herself dinner, three dishes and one soup, and she made everything very carefully.

There are four dishes in total, and she takes an hour to cook, an hour to eat, and two hours for each meal. So. It seems like every day will pass a little faster.

After she finished her last bite of food, the doorbell rang suddenly, she stopped what she was doing, stunned for a moment, always felt like a hallucination, and was silent for a while, the doorbell rang again, and she was sure that it was really the doorbell ringing, not the sound on the TV.

She put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up quickly, ran to the entrance door, and opened the door.

Standing at the door was Chen Yujian, the two glanced at each other, Cheng Xunxun did not get out of the way, held the door frame with one hand, tilted his head, and said, "Why are you here?"

"It's a New Year's holiday, what's the matter? You don't welcome me?"

Cheng Xunxun reacted at this time, turned sideways, and said, "How come, I just didn't expect you to come back." ”

"I've lived here for a few years anyway, and I've long thought of it as half my home, and now I'm just going home for the holidays. Chen Yujian carried simple luggage and walked in.

The lights in the house were very bright, and he thought that there were guests at home, but when he went in to look, he realized that she was just at home alone, and the sound of the TV was very loud. The house is very clean, it is simply clean, and there are many large and small potted plants in the house compared to the past.

Chen Yujian put the luggage in his hand, glanced around, found the leftovers on the dining table that had not yet been put into the kitchen, looked back at Cheng Xunxun, who was following behind, and said, "It's not the right time to come back, I haven't eaten yet." You've finished eating. ”

Cheng Xunxun leaned sideways against the wall, clasped his arms in his hands, and said, "You say something nice, I can consider making it for you." ”

Chen Yujian sneered and shook his head, "Are you not happy when I come back?" I thought you would be happy, and happily took the initiative to cook for me." ”

"If you don't leave again, then I'll be happy to cook for you, you're just going home on vacation now, I'm not your mother, what am I happy about." Cheng Xunxun snorted, with a smiling expression on his face, walked straight to the restaurant, packed up the dishes and entered the kitchen, walked to the kitchen door, paused for a moment, looked back at him, and said, "Do you want to eat noodles?"

Chen Yu heard it briefly. Raising his eyes and looking at each other, Chen Yujian showed a gentle smile, nodded, and said, "Eat." ”

Cheng Xunxun also showed a hint of a smile and said with a smile: "Then you wait." ”

After speaking, she went into the kitchen, Chen Yujian took off her coat, sat on the sofa, picked up the remote control, and turned down the sound of the TV.

About half an hour later, Cheng Xunshun came out with a bowl of hot noodle soup, put it on the coffee table, put the chopsticks on the bowl, and said, "Okay, let's eat." ”

She ripped off her apron and sat down on the single couch beside her.

"Didn't you go to work when you came back? Do you have time to take care of it?" Chen Yujian sat forward, picked up the chopsticks, and reached out to touch the anthurium placed in the middle of the coffee table.

"No, I don't want to enter the workplace for the time being, I want to do something else, and I can't think of what to do for a while, so I'm idle at home. In addition to watching TV all day long, I sleep, so I buy some flowers and plants to pass the time. I wanted to buy a dog, but I couldn't think of whether I wanted to buy a large dog or a small dog, so I put it on hold. Do you say I raised the big or the young?" Cheng Xunxun said, raised his hand and nodded his lips, thought about it, and said: "It's better to raise a puppy, it's easy to take care of, but the big dog looks domineering, otherwise I'll raise two." ”

She said to herself, not caring much about Chen Yujian's opinion. He looked at her appearance and smiled slightly, didn't say anything, just lowered his head and began to eat noodles.

Cheng Xunxun listened to the sound of him eating noodles, and soon his attention shifted, with one hand against his head, he looked at him eating noodles intently, and after a while, he suddenly spoke, saying: "Chen Yujian, I want to get married, I want to live the life of two people, one person is too lonely." ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Yujian snorted, and all the noodles in his mouth spit out, followed by a cough, which sounded like he had choked on his organs. Cheng Xunxun was still smiling, but when he saw that he was coughing, he restrained his smile and asked, "What's wrong?"

His face was red with a cough, and Cheng Xunxuan went over to squat beside him. Pat him on the back. Chen Yujian directly took the water cup on the coffee table, took a quick sip, and slowly eased up.

Cheng Xunxun knelt directly on the ground and said with a smile: "What are you doing? You are so surprised that I want to get married, I am twenty-eight years old after the New Year, and it should not be a surprise to want to get married, right? Since I chose to come back, it means that I want to live a dull life, and since I have forgotten all those grievances, I don't want to pursue them." ”

"Since it's an ordinary day, it's natural to get married, what's the matter? Don't you want to bless me?"

Chen Yujian's throat was still a little uncomfortable, and she couldn't help coughing a few times, glanced sideways at her, and said, "Who are you going to marry?"

Cheng Xunxun sat on the ground, leaning on the sofa, looking up at him with a smile. After staring at each other for a moment, she didn't say anything, just looked away, looked at the noodles on the table, and asked, "Do you still eat?" ”

Chen Yujian didn't speak, the atmosphere was slightly stiff, Cheng Xunxun waited for a while, and when he saw that he didn't respond, he was about to get up and go to the kitchen, but before she stood up, her shoulders were suddenly buckled, and then her eyes were dark, Cheng Xunxun hadn't reacted yet, and her lips were soft. His face was close, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, his eyes were slightly deep, and something was churning under his eyes.

Cheng Xunxun's eyes widened, his hands unconsciously pressed against his chest, and he struggled slightly. Chen Yujian raised her hand and clasped the back of her head, a little strong.

"Hmm......" she frowned slightly, leaning back. Chen Yujian knelt on the ground on one knee, clasped her other hand on her shoulder, pressed down a little hard, and Cheng Xunxun lay on the ground.

Cheng Xunxuan was a little shocked by Chen Yujian's actions, she never thought that Chen Yujian would have such a day. She pressed one hand tightly on his clothes, and looked into his eyes full of surprise, and she could clearly see that there was a strong possessiveness in his eyes.

She supported her body with one hand, opened her mouth slightly, and hesitated for a long time before she made a little sound, but before she finished saying this, Chen Yujian had already possessed her and kissed her lips, Cheng Xunxun reflexively lowered her head, but still did not avoid his kiss.

"What are you doing. She tilted her head slightly, but her voice did not fall. And his kiss came up.

He pressed down all over his body, and Cheng Xunxun couldn't support it, so he lay on the ground.

Cheng Xunxun resisted, but the resistance was ineffective, and slowly she stopped resisting. Gradually, Chen Yujian's possessiveness was not only on her lips, he wanted to remove her clothes, but her clothes were the kind of pullovers, and he couldn't pull them with his bare hands, so he reached out and wanted to pick up her clothes.

Halfway through, Cheng Xunxuan grabbed his wrist, his chest rose and fell slightly, Chen Yujian's eyes were filled with unconcealable desire, but her eyes were dull, there was not much passion, and her reason was still there.

She gasped slightly and said, "Do you want to marry me? After marrying me, you will stay in Edinburgh with me, live an ordinary life, and never go back, and never go back, and never care about the affairs of Luancheng, can you? Can you let go of the past and let go of hatred?"

His warm palm was on her waist, and his fingers moved slightly, and Cheng Xunxun could naturally feel it.

The two looked at each other for a long time, Chen Yu simply withdrew his hand, reached out and pulled her clothes off, and after tidying up, when he stood up, he pulled her up with his hand, and straightened her hair, there was a lingering knot between his eyebrows, he touched her cheek, and stroked her lips again.

After a long silence, he showed a shallow smile, withdrew his hand, took a step back, and said, "I'm too tired, I'll go take a shower." You go to rest. ”

After saying that, he lowered his eyes, stopped looking at her, and walked around her to the other side and left the living room and returned to the room, forgetting to take his suitcase, which was like running away. Cheng Xunxun stood in place, put his hands in front of him, heard the sound of distant footsteps, and smiled silently.

It's called a hooligan.

She took a breath, raised her hand to wipe her mouth, and bent down to take the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen.

At about eleven o'clock in the night, Cheng Xunxuan knocked on Chen Yujian's door, put his suitcase at the door, and said, "You were in a hurry just now and forgot to take your luggage, I'll send it to you." Nothing else, good night. ”

"I'm sorry. Chen Yujian said.

Cheng Xunxun had already turned around and heard his apology. He paused, didn't look back, and said, "It's okay. It's like being bitten by a dog. ”

Chen Yujian frowned slightly, pursed her lips, and looked like she wanted to speak and stopped.

Chen Yujian didn't say a word in the end, only said, good night. Cheng Xunxun chuckled, nodded, and said, "Good night." ”

With that, she went back to her room.

The door closed softly, the voice was very soft, but Chen Yujian still heard it very clearly. He also knew very well in his heart that she had finally closed the door in her heart.

He stood in the doorway for a long time before he took a step back and closed the door.

The next day, Cheng Xunxuan looked very excited all day, got up early in the morning, and the first thing he did when he got up was to clean up, and when Chen Yujian got up, he saw her standing on a chair, cleaning the glass window, and then pasting something on the window.

"What are you doing?" he asked, stepping over and holding the chair at her feet.

"The Chinese New Year always has to be a bit of a New Year's look, I have to decorate it, and clean up by the way. Now that you're up, don't be idle, help me. As she spoke, she jumped out of her chair, handed him the sticker in her hand, and said, "You are taller, you come, I'll make breakfast." ”

Chen Yujian naturally wouldn't refuse, I'm afraid that if he refuses, he won't have breakfast.

From day to night, Cheng Xunxi has not been idle, and after arranging the house, he began to work on the evening's dishes, and Chen Yujian helped by the side.

Before she came back, she was a person who didn't like to cook, and after she came back, she actually made a table of dishes, counting more than 30 dishes, and each dish was made by herself. And her dumplings are very beautiful and exquisite, so that she can be a very virtuous wife.

Yu Xuejun came at four o'clock, the table had been set, there were only three people to eat, but Cheng Xunjun had prepared more than 30 dishes, which could be described as grand, if Chen Yujian didn't come back, there would only be two of them, father and daughter.

Yu Xuejun walked around the room and walked to the kitchen door. Looking at the tacit understanding between the two of them, he smiled and said, "Just a few people, how wasteful it is to cook so many dishes." ”

"Then eat more, don't waste my mind. Cheng Xunxun turned around and smiled at him, pushed Chen Yujian with his hand, and said, "You go out to sit with your father for a while, I can handle the rest of the things alone, and the meal will start on time at half past five." ”

As she spoke, she untied her apron from her body.

Chen Yujian didn't say much, just went out, sat in the living room with Yu Xuejun, drank tea and chatted.

After a moment of silence, Yu Xuejun glanced in the direction of the kitchen and asked in a low voice: "What happened to her in Luancheng? Why do I think she came back this time, it seems that she has changed a little, does she remember something?"

Chen Yujian said: "There shouldn't be." ”

"Really, why did she suddenly want to come back? And decided never to go back. What's wrong?"

Chen Yujian shook her head and said, "I don't know, she also told me suddenly, and she didn't say why." ”

Yu Xuejun pondered for a long time, smiled shallowly, and said, "That's okay, I didn't want her to go back, let alone want her to be entangled with Zhou Yanqing again." It's best to stay away, don't worry about what you tell me, I'll still help you, but don't get involved anymore. ”

"You, do you still want to go back to take revenge? Actually, I think you have a good relationship with Xun, if you are willing to ......"

Chen Yujian didn't wait for him to finish, then interrupted him and said, "Yes, I must go back." ”

Yu Xuejun squinted his eyes, pursed his lips and smiled, nodded, and said, "Understood." After that, you better stay away from the early days, I think she is a little dependent on you, which I don't want to see. In the past, when I saw Shun Xun's attitude towards you, it was inconvenient to say anything, for fear that she would be unhappy. ”

"But now it seems that I can't help but say it. I hope she can still be happy and carefree, and it's good for her to forget the past, so I've always disapproved of her going back. She insisted on going before, and I didn't want her to be unhappy, but I always stopped her, and if she wanted to go secretly, she would go, so I clinged to her. Now that she has suddenly returned, something must have happened in Luancheng, and I don't want to see her hurt again. I help you because I'm angry at what they did, not because of their attitude, you see. ”

Chen Yujian lowered his eyes, held the teacup in his hand, and a faint smile hung on the corner of his lips, took a sip of tea, nodded, and said, "I understand." ”

Yu Xuejun smiled, reached out and patted his back, and said, "Just take a breath, don't do too much, that will only retribution, and there will never be an end." I don't want that either. ”

Chen Yujian glanced sideways at him, but smiled silently.

At this meal, the three of them were very full and drank wine. Cheng Xunxun drank a lot happily, and when Yu Xuejun went back, she was already seven or eight points drunk.

Yu Xuejun called a female assistant to come over to take care of her, probably because she was afraid that both of them had drunk and had a bad sex after drinking.

However, Cheng Xunxun took his hand. Hold his arm firmly and say, "Dad, will you stay with me?"

She grabbed it very tightly, her eyes were full of pleading, Yu Xuejun hesitated for a while, thought about it before nodding and saying, "Okay." ”

Then, Yu Xuejun helped her upstairs, Cheng Xunjun sat on the bed and leaned on Yu Xuejun's shoulder, his cheeks were flushed, and he opened his eyes for a while, and a pair of eyes shone under the illumination of the light.

"Dad, can you tell me about me and Zhou Yanqing in the past, what do I love about him, and how good we used to be. She looked sideways at him, and rarely said the words buried in her heart, "After coming back for so many days, I actually think about him every day, what should I do?"

Yu Xuejun paused when he heard this.

Cheng Xunxun smiled helplessly and said: "I don't want to admit it at all, but it's so uncomfortable to hold it in my heart, you are my only relative, I am most relieved to tell you." ”

"You came back because of him?"

She smiled and said, "yes, I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past and be a fool again." ”
