As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, the Yuanfu group set off for Qingzhou.

The sky was high and the clouds were light, the autumn breeze was cool, and the carriage seemed to run extremely briskly, and after more than 20 days, they entered the boundary of Qingzhou.

Qingzhou is located in the middle of the Shandong Peninsula, "the east belongs to the wood, the wood color is green", so the name Qingzhou. Although it is not as rich as Hangzhou, this year's wind and rain are smooth, and the autumn harvest is coming to an end, and you can still feel the afterglow of the harvest year.

Soon to the south gate of Qingzhou City, but saw people coming and going, bustling, lively places completely beyond everyone's expectations.

After entering the city, more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages merged into the flow of people, and the speed could no longer be fast, and it took nearly half an hour to leave the street.

Doudou was suffocated in the car, and it was easy to hear the voices outside gradually disappearing, and she couldn't help but open a crack in the curtain of the car and look out, it turned out that the carriage turned into an alley.

Seeing that there was no one around, she simply stuck her head out of the car window, and saw that there was a house not far away that was very different from the style of the Yuanfu in Hangzhou, which seemed to be very simple and atmospheric, and it was a typical northern building.

Probably someone reported the news before, and soon saw the middle door of the house wide open, and two rows of mermaids rushed out. Seeing that the carriage was about to come, the faces of the people showed joy, and after a while, they saw Yuan Zheng, who was dressed in a dark red brocade robe, greeted Xie Fu and his wife with a smile on their faces.

After the greetings, the group was ushered in.

This is a four-entry house, not very big but built very neatly and widely, the front and back are connected to the verandah, there are no precious flowers and plants rockery ponds, only those tall trees are very old, even in such a late autumn looks like a pavilion, it can be imagined that it will be very shady in the hot summer.

Yuan Zheng has been personally supporting the old lady, and when he saw her looking around, he had to apologize: "This place is too simple, and I ask my mother to take care of it." ”

The old lady laughed loudly: "As long as the family is together, the wife and I can live comfortably wherever I live." ”

After more than a year of not seeing each other, the old lady became more and more ruddy, her pace was steady, and she was not even tired from the long journey, obviously because of her grandson. Yuan Zheng secretly said that now that his mother has a grandson, he can finally relax.

When he arrived at the main hall, Yuan Zheng helped the old lady to the seat, and he redressed himself and knelt on his knees, and officially gave his mother a big gift to thank his mother for taking care of his wife and children for more than a year.

The old lady knew his intentions and didn't stop much, and after he saluted, she said: "You should thank Ah Chao well, she has worked hard for bringing two brothers for more than a year." ”

According to the temper of Gu Chao in the past, she accepted Yuan Zheng's gift so calmly as a hero, but today she came over to stop Yuan Zheng's action of preparing to salute her, and said with a smile: "Take your own children, what is the hard work." ”

Such a big change surprised Yuan Zheng, he hadn't seen her for more than a year, and the proud and delicate daughter-in-law in her impression suddenly became so atmospheric and sensible, how could she not make people feel related?

Doudou looked at his father's stunned appearance, handed Yuan Wei, who had been holding her, to Yuan Zheng, and said with a small mouth: "Daddy, guess who this is?"

Yuan Zheng rubbed Doudou's head, he hadn't seen him for more than a year, the second daughter had grown taller, and the signs were more intimate, he didn't pay attention to the rules of "hugging grandchildren and not hugging children", and he didn't hug Yuan Xiang when he was a baby, and he stretched out his hand to the fleshy Yuan Wei skillfully.

Yuan Wei, this kid thief knows life again, he doesn't know where his father is willing to hug him, his fat body twisted and grabbed Doudou's clothes with his little hands, and his little mouth opened his throat and howled.

He couldn't cry anymore, and Yuan Jing, who was playing in the nurse's arms very obediently, also babbled, and the whole room was very lively for a while.

The son didn't give face, Yuan Zheng helplessly pointed at Yuan Wei and smiled: "This must be the second." He pointed at Yuan Jing and said, "This is like the boss." ”

Doudou stretched out his thumb towards Yuan Zheng and said, "Daddy is amazing, but how did you guess it?"

Yuan Zheng turned his mind and joked: "You don't understand this, generally speaking, the eldest is more honest, and the second is more treacherous and cunning, just like you and Xiang'er ......"

Doudou didn't care, only pinched Yuan Wei's little fat face and smiled: "Xiaowei, no wonder our father is so powerful......"

Yuan Zheng was choked suddenly, he didn't even remember that he was also the second.

The rest of the crowd burst into laughter.

※※※※

On the second day, Doudou came to his father's study early in the morning.

She came to the study but not to find Yuan Zheng, but to find Mr. Zhu, Aunt Xie Min asked all her friends in the rivers and lakes to help, and there was still no news of the little fat man for a few months, if it weren't for Mr. Zhu not living in Yuanfu, she couldn't help but come to him last night.

Today's Yuan Mansion is not as big as before, but the outer study is still neatly arranged, and Mr. Zhu works in the West Wing as before.

I haven't seen him for more than a year, and Mr. Zhu is still in thin shape, sitting at the table and preparing to start the day's work.

Seeing Doudou walking into the house with light steps, Mr. Zhu beckoned to her and said with a smile in the same familiar tone as before: "Yuan'er come over and help Mr. calculate this account." ”

Doudou couldn't laugh at all, and walked straight up to Mr. Zhu and said, "Mr. Zhu, is Brother Xiaofei the child of the Cheng family and the Zhu family, or is it your nephew?" Tears flowed from his eyes.

Mr. Zhu's face became very unnatural when he heard this, he pulled Doudou to the chair next to him and sat down, and said with a hint of bitterness: "Yuan'er, Xiaofei is indeed not my sister's child......"

Doudou wiped a handful of tears and said, "Then you already knew about it?"

Mr. Zhu has never felt that it is so difficult to answer a question, and whether the answer is good or bad is even related to his own character.

If he said that he knew about it a long time ago, it means that he didn't care about blood relationship at all, but since he didn't care before, why did he change after he had a nephew? If he said that he only found out after the incident, it can only prove that he is superficial and cold, and the child he has loved for more than ten years just ignores it?

In short, in this matter, he Zhu Yi is not a person inside and out.

After being silent for a long time, Mr. Zhu said, "Yuan'er, do you believe Mr.'s words?"

Doudou hesitated for a moment and nodded vigorously.

Mr. Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Doudou's eyes seriously and said: "I never suspected that Xiao Fei was not my nephew before, and when I knew about this, Xiao Fei had already run away from home, and I asked many friends to look for him, but there has been no news." Yuan'er, over the years, I don't really believe that you can feel Xiaofei. ”

The scenes of Mr. Zhu and the little fat man getting along in the past surfaced in Doudou's mind, she lowered her head in shame, and tears flowed out again.

Mr. Zhu patted her on the shoulder and said softly, "Yuan'er, Xiaofei will definitely find it." Let's treat him as if he went out to practice, no matter whose child he is, he will always be my good nephew. ”

"Yuan'er, you believe Mr. Zhu, he even bought the property for Xiaofei. Yuan Zheng, who was already standing at the door, couldn't help but speak.
