At noon, it was boring to beg in the east courtyard, but Aunt Zhou was not very angry, but because of this, she was on the defensive, and sent someone to wait at the door, thinking that when Xie Changning came back, she invited him to the west courtyard.

She played extremely well in abacus, but she didn't want to be cut off by Sister Hui.

In the evening, thinking that Xie Changning was almost time to come back, Sister Hui took the maid to the door, and when she saw the maid in Aunt Zhou's courtyard, she had no expression on her face, but she was sneering in her heart.

When the maid saw Sister Hui'er, somehow, she suddenly had a bad premonition, and her premonition was quickly verified. Not long after Sister Hui'er came, Xie Changning came back.

Quanzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and the climate is much warmer than in the north, but it is only early spring, and it is a sunny day, and the morning and evening are slightly cold.

Sister Hui has just recovered from a serious illness, and the whole person has lost a circle, even if the clothes are thick and thin, coupled with the pale complexion, people only feel distressed when they see it. Xie Changning walked to her side in a few steps, and said with a little reproach, "Your body hasn't healed yet, why did you come here to blow the wind." ”

Sister Hui smiled, "I've worn so much, I'm almost too fat to lose my shape, where will I be afraid of the wind." Besides, I'm not a porcelain doll that shatters at the touch of a button, and even the doctor said that I'm almost as good as I am, and my father doesn't have to worry. However, my father himself should pay more attention to rest, although he is busy with official duties, he can't get up from the morning until the evening to return every day, and my mother and I can't wait for you to come back for lunch. ”

When Xie Changning heard this, he was a little relieved and said, "Sister Hui has grown up. As for her three words not leaving Shen Shu, he didn't hear it. Originally, he didn't have any prejudices against Shen Shu, but after last night's incident, he had it, but he didn't like it much, but he felt that her jealousy was too big, and it was a little unreasonable.

Yes, he took Shen Shu's series of reactions as jealousy. But he couldn't think of any other explanation.

After talking to Sister Hui'er, Xie Changning glanced at the maid who came from Aunt Zhou's yard and asked, "What's the matter with Begonia looking for me?"

The maid replied honestly, "My aunt asked the slave to wait for my uncle here, and invited my uncle to Hanlian Courtyard for dinner, and my aunt prepared my uncle's favorite crystal shrimp dumplings." ”

Before Xie Changning could express his position, Sister Hui refused for him first, "You go back and tell Aunt Sù that your father is going to accompany your mother for dinner today, so you won't go to her." After that, he turned his head to Xie Changning and said, "Brother Zhen went to my mother's place with me at noon, and I still refuse to leave at this time, my mother has already asked people to prepare my father's favorite dishes, let's go Father, our family hasn't eaten together for a long time." ”

In her heart, only she, Brother Zhen and Shen Shu and Xie Changning are the real family.

Xie Changning has always been the most fond of Sister Hui, since she has said so, he will naturally not refute it again, making her lose face in front of her subordinates. "You go back and tell Sù Begonia, I won't go to her for dinner, and I'll go to see her later." He said goodbye to Aunt Zhou's maid, and then took Sister Hui to the east courtyard.

Walking all the way, I only heard Sister Hui'er's unhappy voice, "Father, why don't you spend more time with your mother......"

The maid looked at the figure of the two parents in the distance, and breathed a sigh of relief, although no one was invited, there was still the latter sentence, which could be regarded as an explanation on the aunt's side.

――

Shen Shu woke up after only half an hour of napping, and Brother Zhen was still asleep at that time, Shen Shu hesitated for a moment, but decided to wake him up. It's not that I dislike him, but I think that the nap time is too long, and he may not be able to sleep at night.

After Brother Zhen woke up, he was very well-behaved, not noisy or noisy, stretched out his little fat hand and rubbed his eyes, and called Shen Shu to his mother softly.

Shen Shu asked someone to bring warm water to wipe his face for him, and asked him if he wanted to eat. Brother Zhen shook his head and said no, looked at Shen Shu with dark eyes, and asked her to tell a story.

Shen Shu is actually not very good at storytelling, and she doesn't have much inventory in her head, but she still told Brother Zhen another story. After the story was told, Brother Zhen showed that kind of "one more, one more" look again, this time Shen Shu decided to refuse, but under the attack of Bai Nuo Tuanzi's eyes, she decided to change to a more tactful way.

"Well, let's play backgammon, and if you win, I'll tell you another one. ”

No matter how good her tone is and how gentle her smile is, it can't change the fact that this is a bully child. However, the naïve Brother Zhen was still fooled, and after listening to Shen Shu explain the rules of backgammon, he dropped a sunspot on the chessboard with great anticipation.

And then his miserable career began.

As a human being in two lives, Shen Shu's talent in calculation is top-notch, and he is not a problem in Go, not to mention the little backgammon. But at the beginning, she couldn't help but eliminate Brother Zhen quickly, and when she saw his aggrieved appearance, she reacted, this can't work. So in the following game, Shen Shu changed the goal, not thinking about how to win, nor thinking about how to release water, but taking the white chess pieces and posing with various patterns.

After challenging the pattern and challenging the pattern, it can be seen how boring Shen Shu is.

On the other hand, Brother Zhen is much better, except for losing a game quickly at the beginning, he didn't lose every game after that, of course he didn't win, every time he walked with Shen Shu to the chessboard, all the grids were occupied, and it became a tie. Every time he felt that he would definitely win next time, his confidence was stronger and stronger every time, but until Xie Changning came over, he still couldn't win.

Xie Changning and Sister Hui came into the house together, and saw Brother Zhen pinching a chess piece, looking at the chessboard with a tangled face, and finally dropped the chess piece after hesitating for a long time. Shen Shu, who was sitting on his ground, casually landed next to the sunspot.

Seeing that Shen Shu's chess pieces had not fallen on the point that decided the outcome of the game, Brother Zhen hurriedly picked up the chess pieces and occupied the position, and said to Shen Shu happily, "It's a pity that my mother can win if she sees this~"

Shen Shu also said a pity, and then fell behind.

Xie Changning watched it from the side, his face was faintly dark, and Sister Hui couldn't help laughing.

As the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, Brother Zhen himself did not notice it, but Xie Changning and Sister Hui could see it clearly, where did Shen Shu never see that point, she was clearly deliberate, and the white seeds on the chessboard were connected into a Shen character.

Sister Hui saw that they were having fun, and she didn't break it, but said, "Okay, okay, it's time for dinner." ”

Brother Zhen came back to his senses at this time, and looked out the window with a confused look, "Is it time for dinner?" Time flies so fast, he hasn't won a game, and he hasn't heard the story.

The maid came over to collect the chessboard, and Shen Shu and the others moved to the side hall, and after sitting down, it didn't take long for the dishes to be put on the table.

Brother Zhen sat next to Shen Shu, occasionally telling her what she wanted to eat, and Shen Shu stretched out his chopsticks to clip it for him, except for the fish. When Brother Zhen said that he wanted to eat fish, Shen Shu said to him in a righteous manner, "Children can't eat fish, it will get stuck in their throats." ”

Sister Hui also joined in the fun and asked Shen Shu to pick up vegetables. Shen Shu just sandwiched a chopstick dish into Sister Hui'er's bowl, and then saw a pair of chopsticks stretched out from the diagonal side, holding a piece of steamed fish and meat and putting it in front of her and falling into Brother Zhen'er's bowl, it was Xie Changning, after he sandwiched the dish, he said lightly, "The thorn has been picked, let's eat." ”

Shen Shu was silent for a moment, and then continued to eat her own meal. She knew that Xie Changning probably misunderstood something, but she didn't bother to explain to him that she didn't give Brother Zhen a fish because she was troublesome to pick fish bones, but because she was allergic to fish, both physical and psychological.

The originally good atmosphere fell silent and lasted until the end of the meal.

After dinner, Xie Changning got up and left to go to the study, and Sister Hui hurriedly chased him out.

"But what's the matter?" Xie Changning stopped.

Sister Hui shook her head, "Father, don't misunderstand your mother, she didn't pick fish for Brother Zhen'er, not because she was troublesome to pick fish bones, but because her mother couldn't touch the fish, and she would feel unwell after getting it." ”

Xie Changning didn't expect her to say this, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses and touched her head, "I know, it's cold at night, let's go back to the house." ”

Sister Hui rubbed his palm affectionately, "Father, don't work too hard, Mother is worried that your body will not be able to bear it." She actually wanted to tell him not to go to Aunt Zhou's, but she didn't say it, as a daughter, she shouldn't have interfered in her father's house, and she is only eight years old now, it's not good to say too much, if her father suspects that her mother taught her, it will be self-defeating.

When Xie Changning heard this, he paused, then withdrew his hand and said to Sister Hui'er, "I know, you can go back quickly." ”

Sister Hui knew that it was done when she heard what he said, so she laughed, nodded, and turned back into the house.

Xie Changning turned around and took a look, the soft light was dim through the screen window, and the sound of cheerful conversation was faintly heard in the room. He smiled a little helplessly, shook his head, and went to the study.

When Sister Hui returned to the house, Shen Shu was discussing with Brother Zhen, because Brother Zhen wanted to sleep with her, so Shen Shu thought of using the trick in the afternoon to coax him. Brother Zhen didn't know if he saw through her intentions, and shook his head vigorously but disagreed.

Shen Shu had to change the way of flickering, she thought about it, and said to Brother Zhen, "You go back to sleep obediently, and I'll give you an interesting gadget tomorrow, how about it?"

Brother Zhen thought about it, and finally chose the gadget between her and the gadget, and nodded in agreement.

Shen Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

What she didn't know was that solving this small problem, there was a bigger and more troublesome problem waiting for her.
