Chapter 556: A Gift for Xiao Xiaoyan
Regarding Yang Xiaolin's answer, Xiao Xiaoyan tilted her head and thought: This should be regarded as a big brother's promise.
When the eldest brother grows taller, he can be his aunt's boyfriend.
It won't be possible to achieve her goal right away, but it shouldn't take long.
Big brother is omnipotent, isn't it just to grow taller, Xiao Yan can grow taller, big brother is stronger than Xiao Yan, of course it's okay.
The poor little girl, in the face of Yang Xiaolin's empty check, did not have any doubts at all.
"Okay, then I also promised the big brother that I wouldn't say those words again until you grew taller. β
"But big brother, you also have to talk and count, and when you grow taller than your aunt, you will immediately become your aunt's boyfriend. β
Yang Xiaolin smiled and nodded, but said secretly in his heart: Even if I grow to two meters tall, it is impossible for me to be your aunt's boyfriend.
Even if I really have that kind of thought one day, how can your aunt look down on a poor student.
"What I say, of course counts. When did I lie to Xiao Yan. Yang Xiaolin squatted down and looked at the little girl.
Xiao Xiaoyan showed a bright smile and stretched out her little finger: "Then let's pull the hook." β
For children, the retractor is an oath and a contract.
When you encounter something that you think is important, you have to pull a hook, otherwise you will not feel at ease.
This is already the second time that Xiao Xiaoyan has asked Yang Xiaolin for a hook in a short period of time.
"Hanging on the hook for a hundred years is not allowed to change ......"
The immature and joyful children's voice came into her ears through the headphones, and Zhou Keyi knew what kind of cute appearance Xiao Xiaoyan looked like at this time by virtue of her imagination.
She was a little envious of that guy, Xiao Xiaoyan used to ask her to pull the hook.
But that guy's performance today is not bad, and he helped her solve her biggest problem recently, so she won't have to hide from the little girl in the future.
As for waiting for that guy to grow taller, he will be his boyfriend...... She is not as simple and naΓ―ve as Xiao Xiaoyan.
That guy is in college, how much taller can he grow.
Zhou Keyi had just relaxed for less than half a minute when she heard Xiao Xiaoyan probably finish hooking with that guy and let out a burst of happy laughter.
Then her heart hung again.
"Big brother, I have prepared so many gifts for you, what gifts did you bring me?" Xiao Xiaoyan asked expectantly.
To be honest, when the average child sees an adult close to them, they basically ask for gifts and food for the first time.
Xiao Xiaoyan was able to mention it until this time, when she was alone with Yang Xiaolin, which is already a very rare sensible.
Finally, I still can't avoid the gift.
That guy was quite comfortable with Xiao Xiaoyan just now, I don't know if he can resolve the unpleasantness again this time and not make Xiao Xiaoyan sad.
Zhou Keyi couldn't help but get nervous at this time, she was the most fond of Xiaoyan's girl.
If Xiao Yan is sad because of her this time, it will be difficult for her to forgive herself.
When Yang Xiaolin heard Xiao Xiaoyan ask for a gift, he was also slightly stunned.
Didn't Miss Tuesday say that you don't need to bring gifts?
But thinking about it, he was relieved again, Xiao Xiaoyan's mother asked him not to bring gifts, because she was afraid that he would break the cost of a student, which was a kind of care for him.
And Xiao Xiaoyan is just a child, and it is normal to ask an adult who knows and likes to ask for a gift.
He didn't think it was Miss Tuesday's trick.
I didn't have time to buy a gift before I came, but it doesn't mean that he will be at a loss for it, embarrassed and helpless.
In the anticipation on Xiao Xiaoyan's face, Yang Xiaolin took out a small round box-like thing from his pocket.
"Xiaoyan, do you know what this is?" Yang Xiaolin handed the small round box to the little girl.
The things sent by the big brother must be good things, and Xiao Xiaoyan took them excitedly.
She held the round box, and saw that the lid was transparent, and there was a "thick needle" with one red end and the other white end.
She shook the round box and found that the red and white needles inside were also turning, and when she stopped shaking, it would slowly return to its original orientation.
Holding it in her hand and pondering for a while, Xiao Xiaoyan didn't even understand what this round box was.
"Big brother, what is this. She had no choice but to ask Yang Xiaolin.
Yang Xiaolin introduced: "This thing is called a compass, and it can also be called a compass." β
"You see these two colored needles, pointing due south and due north. β
"Come, Xiaoyan, you turn in one direction and see if the two needles will also change direction. β
Xiao Xiaoyan did as Yang Xiaolin said, and sure enough, she found that the two needles were pointing, which would change as she turned her body.
If she doesn't turn her body, no matter how much she shakes the round box in her hand, the last two needles will be pointing in the same way.
"It's really ......"
"Big brother, this thing is so amazing, Xiao Yan has never seen such an interesting thing. β
Zhou Keyi, who was eavesdropping, breathed a sigh of relief, she really didn't expect that what she was worried about would be resolved so easily by that guy.
And the gift used is actually just a compass.
"Xiaoyan, do you know what this compass is for?" Yang Xiaolin said.
Xiao Xiaoyan was holding a compass and was spinning around, having a lot of fun.
Suddenly hearing Yang Xiaolin ask, she turned back to the direction facing Yang Xiaolin, and then shook her head a little ignorantly.
"Big brother, isn't this compass just a toy?"
Yang Xiaolin touched her head, smiled and said, "It's not just a toy. β
"This guide is a lifesaver for a lot of people. β
"In the past, when the eldest brother was hunting in the forest, he would carry this compass with him, and he got lost many times, and finally relied on it to find his way home. β
Yang Xiaolin said and began to teach Xiao Xiaoyan how to use the compass.
Xiao Xiaoyan heard that this compass had saved her big brother many times before, and she also changed her playfulness just now, and followed Yang Xiaolin very seriously.
After learning it, Xiao Yan suddenly asked, "Big brother, did you use this compass in the forest before?"
Yang Xiaolin nodded: "It's been used for many years, next time the big brother will definitely buy you a new one and exchange this one back." β
This compass was not specially prepared, but he thought that it could be used as a gift for children.
But it's also an old thing he's used for many years, and it looks a little shabby when used as a gift.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Xiaoyan suddenly said very solemnly to the compass: "Compass, thank you for saving your big brother so many times." β
"If you hadn't helped Big Brother find his way home, Xiao Yan wouldn't have been rescued home by Big Brother. β
The little girl came up with this cause and effect...... Well, it can't be said that it is completely wrong either.
After thanking the compass, Xiao Xiaoyan said to Yang Xiaolin again: "Big brother, I want this, I don't want a new one." β
As she spoke, she held the compass tightly and held it in her arms, as if she was afraid that Yang Xiaolin would want her to go back.
Looking at her appearance of treating the old compass as a treasure, Yang Xiaolin smiled: "Of course it's best if you like it, I'm worried that you think it's too old and don't like it." β
Xiao Xiaoyan shook her head and said, "The new one is not necessarily better than the old one." β
When Zhou Keyi heard this, she gritted her teeth with some indignation and said to herself: "Then how can you be better to the guy who hasn't known her for a long time than to your aunt." β
"Xiao Yan, the whisper is over, shouldn't we go back. Yang Xiaolin said.
Xiao Xiaoyan put the compass back in her pocket and pulled Yang Xiaolin back.
In the living room, there are Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, as well as the eldest lady of the Zhou family, and Zhou Keren, the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Zheng family.
Xiaoyan, Zhou Keyi and Yang Xiaolin went out for a walk, and the three of them did not follow, but chatted in the living room.
The content of the chat is related to today's guests.
"Xiaoyan likes that kid very much. Zhou's mother had a kind smile on her face, she was very fond of this granddaughter.
"It's the first time I've seen Xiaoyan help others with food when she eats. β
Zhou Keren smiled and nodded: "It's the first time I've seen it, and I feel that Xiaoyan has matured and grown up a lot all of a sudden." β
Father Zhou suddenly said: "In the past few days, there has been a rumor about that child, but have you heard of it?" β
"Dad, have you secretly investigated Xiaolin?" asked Zhou Keren.
Father Zhou bowed his head and said: "That kid saved Xiao Xiaoyan, I can't pretend to be deaf and dumb, just act as if something didn't happen." β
Of course, if Xiao Xiaoyan was not saved by him, then it is even more necessary to investigate clearly. β
Zhou Keyi and Zhou's mother both understood the meaning of Zhou's father's words.
Mother Zhou glared at Father Zhou a little dissatisfied: "You men, you just think too much." I saw that the kid had clear eyes, how could he be a bad person. β
Father Zhou smiled and did not argue with Zhou's mother, but continued the topic just now: "It is rumored that the child has a lot to do with the Buddha's grandson. β
"Guy, have you heard the news?"
Zhou Keren nodded: "Xingguo called me a few days ago to tell me about this. β
"But yesterday it was investigated, and Xiaolin and Buddha Ye have nothing to do with each other. β
"The Buddha deliberately spread the news for another purpose. β
Zhou Keren didn't say what the purpose of the Buddha was, and Zhou's father and Zhou's mother didn't ask much.
"Hasn't Xingguo returned to Puhai yet?" asked Zhou's mother.
Xingguo is Zhou Keren's husband, his full name is Zheng Xingguo, and he is also the contemporary head of the Zheng family.
"Probably won't be back until next month. Zhou Keren showed a bit of nostalgia: "Do the math, he has been out for more than two months this time." β
"Xingguo is also very grateful to Xiaolin, if he is in Puhai this time, he will definitely come over today. β
For the eldest son-in-law, Zhou's father and mother are very satisfied.
It is absolutely not enough to describe Zheng Xingguo as young and promising.
Zheng Xingguo is not yet forty years old this year, which is extremely rare for a wealthy family like the Zheng family to be so young, but he has been the head of the family for three years.
And the head of the previous generation of the Zheng family, that is, Zheng Xingguo's father, did not pass away, but had a serious illness five years ago.
After that serious illness, although his life was saved, his body could no longer recover his health, and his energy was even weaker, and he was no longer able to do the work of the head of the family.
Zheng Xingguo, who was only thirty-five or sixteen years old at the time, began to enter the role of the head of the family.
In fact, this is also a test for him, if he can show the ability to become a qualified family head, then everything is good, as the first heir, he will naturally become the new generation of Zheng family head.
If the opposite is the case, and he is temporarily incompetent for the position of head of the family, the position of head of the family will be temporarily handed over to the second in line of succession, that is, his uncle, and Zheng Xingguo will be his first in line again.
Zheng Xingguo showed extraordinary talent and ability, and it only took two years to convince the elders of the Zheng family.
And three years ago, he officially became the head of the new generation of the Zheng family.
In his thirties, he was the head of a wealthy family at that time, and in the era of peace, the entire Huaguo was probably the Zheng family.
It's just that no matter how good Zheng Xingguo is, he is also the head of the Zheng family.
And Zhou's father, that is, the head of the Zhou family, only has two daughters and no sons.
And what's even worse is that Zhou's father doesn't have a brother.
So now the heirs of the Zhou family, in addition to the sisters of the Zhou family, are all cousins who are separated by a few floors.
And Zhou Keren is already the daughter-in-law of the head of the Zheng family, and it is impossible for her to become the candidate for the head of the Zhou family in the future.
Then only Miss Tuesday Zhou Keyi, a suitable home owner, is chosen.
But girls always have to get married.
With Zhou Keyi's background and appearance, the suitors are like clouds.
In case, Zhou Keyi also marries a figure like Zheng Xingguo, what should the next head of the Zhou family do? Is it really necessary to choose people from distant relatives?
Neither Zhou's father nor Zhou's mother wanted to see this happen.
Therefore, for the marriage of the youngest daughter, the husband and wife have been concerned about it since two years ago, that is, when Zhou Keyi was just in college.
"Lovely people, have you found a suitable young person recently? Mother Zhou asked very naturally.
Every time the second daughter was away, the three of them would discuss the matter.
Many young Junyan who came to the house as guests were also discussed and studied by them, and they felt that He Keyi was suitable, and they also had the opportunity to recruit them.
Zhou Keren also understands her parents' thoughts very well, and she feels guilty about the Zhou family and her parents.
In fact, back then, she was cultivated as the next generation of the Zhou family.
She also had the idea of not marrying for the rest of her life and dedicating all her energy, body and mind to the Zhou family.
If it weren't for Zheng Xingguo, her idea would have come true.
You must know that when she married Zheng Xingguo, she was nearly thirty years old, and she could be regarded as an old girl.
"Mom, I don't think it's too anxious about this. Zhou Keren said: "Keyi is still young, and the people she invited a few times ago have already made her a little suspicious. β
Mother Zhou frowned and said: "What is there to doubt about this, it is normal for young people to know a few more friends." β
Father Zhou looked at his eldest daughter and sighed: "Lovely people, although you are all my daughters, you are also very smart and outstanding. β
"But in terms of shrewdness and calmness, Ke Yi is not as much as you. β
"She doesn't have the ability to take charge on her own, and she can't be qualified to be the head of the Zhou family on her own. β
"If the Zhou family is to be handed over to her in the future, there must be a reliable and capable person to help her. β
And this person must not be an outsider. β
Zhou Keren smiled bitterly: "Dad, I will try my best to find a suitable young man and Keyi to know." β
Zhou's mother suddenly said: "Ability is one thing, if you are not pure-minded, even if you become your own person, you can become an outsider in the end." β
"I think the kid has a very good character, very kind, very upright. Xiao Xiaoyan also likes him very much. β
Zhou's mother said, and suddenly found her husband and eldest daughter looking at her in surprise.
"What do you think of me doing this, I didn't say that Keyi would be good with that kid, I just said that I wanted to find someone who was as kind-hearted and upright as him. β
