Chapter 4: The middle of the night when I couldn't sleep

The current seemed to be a little unstable, and the light bulb flickered on and off a few times. The atmosphere that shrouded the ancestral hall was even more weird. He Niannian's face turned pale suddenly, even an atheist was really difficult to keep calm in this atmosphere.

"In the middle of the night, do you want to wake up the neighbors?" Xue Yihuai really deserved the word "elusive", standing behind her and putting a hand on her shoulder. He Niannian was caught off guard again and shouted out again. Xue Yihuai walked over her body, "It's me!"

He Niannian didn't have any extra thoughts, and he threw himself into his arms and trembled a little, Xue Yihuai wanted to laugh at her, but he couldn't bear it. patted her on the back and said softly: "The voltage is not stable, don't scare yourself." ”

The temperature from him gradually calmed down: "Just now, as soon as I turned around, I saw a dark shadow flashing in front of me, and then the light also flickered on and off. I really didn't mean to, it was really scary just now. ”

Xue Yihuai let go of her and suddenly couldn't help laughing, if he guessed correctly, the so-called flashing black shadow should be the rumored ...... Mouse!

Also, it is normal for so many pastries and fruits to attract mice. This is the old town, mostly aborigines, all of which are bungalow compounds. The rat thing is sparse and normal here. But for her, who grew up in the city, the horror of mice and ghosts is not much different.

The lantern was refueled a few times, but it was still about four hours before dawn. Xue Yihuai actually brought the notebook, and in the middle of the night, she stared at the wick, but he stared at the computer screen. Several times, she almost fell asleep, and Xue Yihuai would unceremoniously pat her with a feather duster.

"He Niannian, you dare to fall asleep, believe it or not, I sneaked away. These words were so powerful that she was forced to pinch her thighs to force herself to stay awake because of the fear in her heart.

It was already half past four, and there was still no light in the sky. He Niannian's expression was a little forbearing, as if he wanted to stop talking. Xue Yihuai didn't squint, in fact, he had already noticed her expression. He didn't want to be silent, and he didn't know how long she would have to endure it.

"Uncomfortable?"

"I ...... I want to go to the toilet, can you accompany me to it?" He Niannian blushed, he had endured it for an hour, but the sky was just not a little translucent.

"The gall of the rats is bigger than yours. Although his mouth was unforgiving, his hand had already pulled her.

The public toilet is actually not very far from the ancestral hall, and it is lit on the side of the road. On the way back, Xue Yihuai no longer held her hand. The two walked side by side, but they were relatively silent.

She still took a nap unconsciously this night, and the strange thing was that she actually fell asleep on Xue Yihuai's shoulder. The belly is as black as him, and he didn't even serve her with a feather duster, this mind is really more difficult to guess than the sea.

dragged his tired body back to the old house to make up for a sleep, and slept until five o'clock in the afternoon. As sad as she was, there was still an hour before she had to go to the ancestral hall again and light the lamp.

With a long sigh, she realized that after arriving at Mélon, she had not eaten a good meal. Mrs. Xue is not easy to be, and the daughter-in-law of the Xue family is even more difficult to be. If she knew that the price was so big, she shouldn't have coveted Xue Yihuai's beauty......

Mrs. Xue's face seemed to be singing a "The Biography of Liu Yi", but unfortunately, the dragon girl was still there but there was no Liu Yi. Xue Yihuai sat in front of her with a bowl of noodles, and the aroma instantly caused her stomach to sing about the empty city.

He Niannian glanced at him, and he couldn't imagine that a businessman with a lot of opportunities would even read idle books. Unceremoniously took the bowl from his hand, and halfway through the meal, he was in a terrible mood. At the urging of Sister-in-law Jiang, He Niannian set foot on the road to the ancestral hall alone.

Behind the carved panes, a pair of eyes watched her leave. It wasn't until he couldn't see it that he withdrew his gaze and chuckled: "I'm afraid of being like that, and I still have to be stubborn and don't ask for help, wait until it gets dark to see what you do......"

Most of the people living in the old city are middle-aged and elderly, and they basically turn off the lights and go to bed at 11 o'clock. As soon as the surroundings were quiet, He Niannian began to jump a little abruptly in his temples, and he felt a little chill down his back even though there was no wind.

With a squeak, the hidden gate in the front yard opened by itself, and He Niannian's heart jumped to his throat.

In the rainy city of Méron, fortunately it has not rained for a few days. Tonight is even more moonlight, and the silver light sprinkled in the courtyard has subtracted a little bit of yin. She walked out, and just as she wanted to tie the gate in the front yard, she snapped a hand on the door.

"Xue Yihuai, people are scary and will scare people to death!" The owner of this hand is the elusive Xue Yihuai. It's almost twelve o'clock at this time, and this guy is wearing a tracksuit, which is really incomprehensible, "It's all this time, don't you sleep at night, are you just running?"

Xue Yihuai stretched: "Yes, in the middle of the night when I can't sleep, come out for a run." Of course, I'm mainly here to supervise the work, is the everlasting light still on?"

Looking at his back, He Niannian unconsciously hooked the corners of his mouth. His mood at the moment should be sunny.

"You came here so late on purpose, did you come to accompany me!"

Xue Yihuai glanced at her and said with a smile: "It's said that you can't sleep and come out to run, how can you still put gold on your face? Mrs. Xue, it's not a good habit to be amorous, you have to change!"

He Niannian sneered: "Mr. Xue, straight male cancer is also a disease, and it must be treated!" Even if he didn't admit it, she still wrote down this love.

On the third night of the long lantern, Xue Yihuai went to the ancestral hall to accompany her until dawn for the same reason. She didn't know what Xue Yihuai thought in her heart, but the warm current flowing in her heart was enough for a feeling to take root and sprout.

The three-day hellish vigil finally came to an end, but it was the fifteenth day of the new year. On the fifteenth day of every lunar month, the family has to get some sacrifices to worship God, and these sacrifices naturally fall on the head of her new daughter-in-law. But fortunately, this time, Jiang Xinle also participated.

Although Jiang Xinle is a strong woman, she didn't expect that the kitchen was not ambiguous at all. After being smoked by a burst of incense, candles, and paper money, the sacrifice to the god is over.

Jiang Xinle was in charge of dinner, He Niannian snorted, and before the meal began, she looked at her daughter-in-law and said a little seriously: "Tomorrow I will go back to Cangning first, according to Mei Long's custom, the new daughter-in-law still has to stay at home to take care of the elders for a month before she can go out." You have to take good care of your grandfather, and you must remember that your father went to the pillar incense on the fifteenth day of the new year. ”

As soon as He Niannian responded, Xue Yihuai said: "I have to go back in two days, and I have to come forward with an acquisition case." "Yes, she is left alone to face the eccentric old man Xue, she has seen her gloomy life......

Before she knew it, it was September, and she had been in the strange city of Meron for half a month. There are still ten days left before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, her life should be restored. She was looking forward to the arrival of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but she didn't know that the Xue family was only the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In the days when he was alone with Old Man Xue, He Niannian could be regarded as doing his best. Although there is still some distance from the granddaughter-in-law in his mind, when Old Man Xue occasionally praises her. The real revolutionary friendship with Old Man Xue was still on that dark and windy night.

She didn't know at the time that that night was Xue Changhua's birthday, and the old man probably missed his son too much and fell ill. But the bottle containing the heart-saving pill was empty, and He Niannian also happened to have insomnia before he heard that something was wrong in Old Man Xue's room, but fortunately, he took medicine in time and sent it to the hospital to turn the corner.

In those days, He Niannian was guarding Old Man Xue every step of the way. Although he is still very picky, He Niannian is gradually getting closer to him.

On the day Old Man Xue was discharged from the hospital, He Niannian was full of joy and said that he was ready to make moon cakes by himself. Unexpectedly, Old Man Xue's face sank suddenly. After a long while, Old Man Xue sighed: "It's been a long, long time since our family had a Mid-Autumn Festival, and we almost forgot what kind of festival it was." Nian Nian, do you feel wronged by marrying into the Xue family?"

Old Man Xue's face was covered with vicissitudes, but his eyes were brighter than anything else. He looked at her, she couldn't lie: "I feel wronged." However, my mother said that this is a must for all women. ”

Old Man Xue chuckled: "Do you know the reason why our family is only in the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
