Chapter 995: The icing on the cake
"Aren't the people of this Xiao family wanted by the whole family, and they have long been gone? Why did they all come back all of a sudden?"
"Yes, the gate was closed when I passed by this morning. ”
"Aren't you afraid of being arrested if you come back so blatantly?" the men whispered.
After all, the affairs of the Xiao family have been in trouble for so long, I am afraid that the whole of Kyoto knows the situation. So when I suddenly saw Xiao Dong and others busy in the yard, I couldn't help but be curious.
Xiao Dong stood up and shouted outside, "What are you doing? Do you want to have dinner together, it's just right, the meal will be ready soon?"
Seeing Xiao Dong speak, those people didn't dare to continue talking, and left in a hurry one by one. After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, no matter how good the Xiao family is, it is not something that anyone can afford to provoke.
Xiao Mei patted Xiao Dong's shoulder and said, "Whatever others like to say, just say it, let's just ignore it?"
"What they say, I don't care, it's not enough to be at the door of someone's house, isn't it a little immoral, I didn't slap their ears in the past, I'm already a good person. Xiao Dong pursed his lips and said.
"You, you, when will your temper change?" Xiao Mei couldn't cry or laugh.
Xiao Zhan grinned and said: "These people should be taught a lesson, otherwise, they will all be bullied by my Xiao family." Let's come back this time, but if we want to revive the prestige of the Xiao family, we can't let people look down on it!"
"You two...... What a good brother!" Xiao Mei glanced at angrily.
The yard is busy, weeding, cooking, and drinking tea, which is full of warmth. By the time the sun was about to set, the entire yard had been cleaned.
Xiao Mei exhaled lightly and said with satisfaction: "I finally have the appearance of home!"
"After so many years, nothing has changed. Xiao Zhan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Especially this big plane tree, which has been there since we were children, just like our patron saint." Although we are a little older, we are still flourishing and sheltering us. ”
"Yes, think about how fast time flies, at that time, we were still children climbing trees and playing, and in the blink of an eye, we all grew up. Xiao Mei said with emotion, "The Xiao family has a tree, and the pavilion is erect!"
Xiao Dong squinted and smiled, and said, "Sister, I look at Tingting Gaili, it should be you, right? Otherwise, in the future, the cucumber girl will become a yellow-faced woman, I don't think anyone else would dare to ask for it?"
"Hey, you stinky boy, you dare to bury me?" Xiao Mei grabbed Xiao Dong's ears and scolded angrily, "Sister's affairs, can you take care of it? Let me ask you, what about your wife? Why hasn't you come back for so long? You say that you, a manly man, can't even find your own wife, what's the use?"
Xiao Dong bared his teeth and said, "Sister, if you are light, you will almost be turned into Maitreya Buddha." My wife, I'm sure I'm going to get it back one day. ”
At the mention of Lan Siying, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, to put it mildly, he didn't even know which one of his wives was?
First Lan Yi of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, and then the queen of the elf clan, their appearance is exactly the same as Lan Siying, but their personalities are different, as if they represent Lan Siying's different personalities.
Until now, Xiao Dong couldn't figure out why there were so many blue shadows?
Could it be that the demonic power in the body was stimulated, and Lan Siying was still separated?
Thinking of this, he was depressed.
"Boy, what's wrong?"|Seeing Xiao Dong silent, Xiao Mei let go of her hand and said, "I'll just joke with you, as for it?"
"No, am I the kind of person who is stingy?" Xiao Dong came back to his senses, grinned, glanced at Xiao Mei, and said, "Speaking of age, among the few of us, of course, the eldest brother is the biggest." Look at him, so far, he hasn't even found a sister-in-law, shouldn't he be criticized?"
"It's time to fight!" Jian Wushuang couldn't help but say beside him.
"What you said yours, why did it get on me again?" Xiao Zhan had a feeling of lying down, and said, "It doesn't matter to me, it doesn't matter if I fight a bachelor in this life, as long as everyone is together and everything is safe, that's enough." ”
"How can this work? You are the eldest grandson of the Xiao family, and you still beat a bachelor, if this is spread out, you will not be laughed to death?" Xiao Dong said, "No, since you are back now, you must find a sister-in-law to come back." Sister, do you say?"
"That's right, you're all thirty years old, hurry up and start a family. Tomorrow, we will look for him and try to marry his sister-in-law. Xiao Mei also coaxed.
Xiao Zhan's old face turned red and said, "The farther and farther, your sister-in-law, do you still need to find it?"
"Could it be that the eldest brother already has a partner?" Jian Wushuang was beside him, and talked curiously.
"No!" Xiao Zhan glared at and said, "Hurry up and finish the work in your hand and get ready to eat." ”
"Big brother, don't take you like this, bully children. You have to make it clear today, whether there is someone in your heart, if so, bring it back to everyone to see. Xiao Dong said that it was not a big deal.
At the mention of this, Xiao Zhan dodged, and seemed to be a little embarrassed: "It's nothing, don't guess, what's right, it's all done, eat, eat, your stomach is about to be hungry." ”
"I see, the eldest brother is not eighty percent, he has blushed even when he greets girls since he was a child, and he is not good at falling in love at all. Xiao Mei quipped beside her, "We have to help with this kind of thing, otherwise, a passive person like him, even if he meets someone he likes, he won't take the initiative to speak." ”
"That makes sense, why don't we look for the eldest brother tomorrow?" Xiao Dong said matter-of-factly.
The two sang and harmonized, only to make Xiao Zhan run away: "I won't talk nonsense with you, let's eat!"
Xiao He did a good job, and the two of them carried out a big table and placed it in the courtyard, and then lit the lamps and lanterns, and for a while, the entire courtyard was brightly lit, looking warm and lively.
"Come on, come on, eat, everyone hurry up and wash your hands and serve on the table, otherwise it will be cold in a while!" As the chef tonight, Shangguan Shiwen gave full play to her virtuous and virtuous virtues, eighteen dishes, made with beautiful colors, flavors, and tastes, which aroused everyone's appetite, and they all hurried around one by one, eager to eat quickly.
Even Jian Baili couldn't sit still, after all, after being imprisoned in the undead breeding base for such a long time, he couldn't find how many years he hadn't tasted delicious food.
"Wow, Sister Shiwen's craftsmanship is really not covered. Xiao He frustrated his hands and said with a look of impatience, "This skill can at least be a five-star chef!"
"Yes, without diamonds, how dare you do porcelain work!" Shangguan Shiwen said proudly, "You eat first, there are still a few dishes in the kitchen, I'll get them!"
"I'll try it first!" Xiao He reached out to grab a chicken claw, but was accurately caught by Xiao Mei, slapped back and said, "Stinky boy, there are no rules, the elders haven't served it yet, you have to eat it first!"
"It's all my own family, what's the rules and regulations, it's so troublesome to eat!" Xiao He pouted resentfully.
Xiao Zhentian laughed and said, "That's right, it's not in the way, everyone is hungry, just eat quickly, don't worry about us." Old Jian, let's have a drink together, shall we?"
Jian Baili nodded, his appetite was great, and he sat in the upper seat with Xiao Zhentian.
"Grandpa, before you start eating, you can say a few words!" Xiao He said.
"Say a few words?" Xiao Zhentian nodded and said, "Okay, just say a few words." We've all been separated, we've been separated since childhood, we've left home halfway, and we've joined new friends, but no matter what, we're always together. Hopefully, in the Xiao family compound, we are all a family. You will not leave me, and we will celebrate our return this time!"
"Oh mom, I'm moved!" Xiao He immediately clapped his hands and applauded, the mouth in the northeast, the one that he learned was called a slip, which made everyone laugh.
"Then let's eat!" As Xiao Zhentian's words fell, everyone grabbed their chopsticks together, and they were not polite, and devoured them.
After suffering so many days outside, they can be said to have not eaten a good meal for a day, and they applauded one by one.
Push the cup and change the lamp, and there is laughter.
Just when everyone was halfway through eating, a car suddenly stopped outside the gate of the compound. From above, walked down a pair of brothers. They look exactly the same, and it's not clear who is who?
Seeing that the people inside were eating, he was slightly embarrassed, but he still walked up with a smile on his face and said, "Everyone is eating, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm disturbed, I heard that Old Man Xiao is back, and our brothers, on behalf of the Qian family, came to visit." ”
In their hands, they were still carrying large bags of gifts, obviously coming prepared.
Xiao Zhentian was obviously very happy today, and said, "It's a guest, Xiao He, hurry up and set the dishes and chopsticks!"
"No need, Old Man Xiao, we've already eaten. I'm just here to visit you, and if there's nothing to do, we'll go back first. Qian Dabao and Qian Xiaobao hurriedly said.
"I'm very satisfied that you can come and visit me, an old immortal. As for the gifts, take them all back, I can't afford it, old man. Xiao Zhentian was lukewarm, waved his hand and said.
"Old man, as the saying goes, courtesy is light and affectionate, let's just show a little affection, you can accept it. Qian Dabao said with a smile.
Xiao Zhentian was about to refuse, but Xiao Dong grinned and said, "Since you have a good heart, let's stay, is there anything else?
"No, no, Old Man Xiao, Brother Dong, you go on, let's go back first!" The corners of Qian Dabao and Qian Xiaobao's mouths twitched, even if they were so blatantly ordered to be evicted by Xiao Dong, they didn't dare to be the slightest dissatisfied, and obediently retreated like a grandson and left the Xiao family compound.
Xiao Zhentian frowned and said, "Xiao Dongzi, what do you want their things for?
"Grandpa, since people took the initiative to send it to the door, don't be in vain. Xiao Dong grinned, "Anyway, they are so thick-skinned, I guess they won't cry when they smoke their ears." ”
"Hmph, they are all snobbish, smelling the wind, and when they heard that we were back, they hurried over to have a look. This is clearly the weasel giving the chicken a New Year's greeting, and he didn't have a good heart, so he came to inquire about the news. Xiao Zhentian snorted, "There is no charcoal in the snow, the icing on the cake, but there are many people." ”
