Xiaohe laughed so hard that the old lady's heart softened into a pool of spring water. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

At this moment, the old lady forgot the grief of losing her daughter.

"Good boy, don't be polite, come up quickly, and sit down next to me. The old lady raised her hand and greeted.

The crane looked up at the old lady. The old lady's spirit was better than a few days ago, with a fallen ponytail, only a passerine-shaped Huasheng and a dark purple undergarment, dressed simply but gracefully and luxuriously. A pair of phoenix eyes, although the side can no longer hide the wrinkles, but still full of charm, when he was young, he must be a great beauty, even if he is old now, and he has lost his daughter, the old lady is still noble, elegant and calm.

Xiaohe couldn't help but step forward, held the old lady's hand, and called affectionately: "Grandmother!"

This voice was obviously closer than just now, and the old lady also heard it, so she squinted and smiled.

Xiaohe actually remembered his grandmother, who had loved her since she was a child, and passed away before she graduated. The son wants to raise but the parent is not there, the modern self is like this, and now there is a grandmother who is only in name, and it makes up for his regrets to some extent.

Xiaohe herself didn't realize that she had slowly gained a sense of belonging to the Zhenguo Mansion.

Xiaohe took the old lady's hand and sat down next to the old lady, and glanced at the two little girls next to him. One is about the same age as himself, with a slender figure, wearing a light blue dress, which reflects the whole person delicately and abnormally. The other was about twelve or thirteen years old, with a round face and childishness, and wore a pale yellow shirt, lively and smart.

The old lady looked at the three little girls in front of her and smiled.

"Come on, Jia'er, Yun'er, I've seen your cousin. ā€

The two little girls stood up and were about to salute the crane. The old lady suddenly turned her head sideways and asked Xiaohe: "By the way, good boy, how old are you?"

The little girl in the blue dress followed her gaze.

Xiaohe was stunned for a moment and said, "It should be fifteen years old!"

Did the old grandfather remember this, this little girl was abandoned since she was a child, and she didn't know the exact date of birth at all.

"In that case, even if you are fifteen years old! Today is the sixteenth day of October, and this is the birthday. The old grandfather then made the final decision.

Xiaohe got up and thanked him: "Thank you, grandfather!" said in his heart, isn't this his birthday on the Gregorian calendar, he is really destined.

Xie Yanjia in the blue dress said happily: "That's cousin Xiaohe, I'm born in July!"

Xiao He hurriedly saluted Xie Yanjia: "Xiao He has seen Cousin Jia. ā€

Xie Yanyun, who was in a yellow shirt, blinked his eyes wide and saluted Xiao He: "Yun'er has saluted Cousin He." ā€

Xiaohe walked to the hall and called the red clothes outside the door, "Red clothes, quickly bring the gift I prepared!"

The red clothes came in, and first saluted the old grandfather and the old lady, and then handed a few purses to Xiaohe.

Xiaohe handed a red one to Xie Yanyun and a brown one to Xie Yanjia.

Xie Yanyun took the purse, and while thanking Xiaohe, he exclaimed: "What a cute little rabbit!"

The front of the big red brocade purse is embroidered with a snow-white rabbit with ears up, which looks very vivid.

Xie Yanyun was overjoyed, and while unpacking the purse, he said: "Cousin Crane is so good, I am a rabbit, ah, another rabbit ......"

Hearing Xie Yanyun's exclamation, everyone looked at her hand, only to see that she carefully took out a white jade seal, and the handle of the seal actually carved a lively rabbit similar to the one embroidered on the purse.

"Ah, grandmother, this rabbit is so interesting, look at it!" Xie Yan Yunxi said: "I want to show the cousins and cousins of the Liu family of the Wang family, I can't envy them to death!"

Looking at Xie Yanyun's smug appearance, Xie Yanjia couldn't help but look at the purse in his hand.

On the dark brown brocade, a particularly fat big gray squirrel, with a clumped body and black eyes, does not have the annoyance of a mouse at all, but the simplicity of a squirrel.

Xie Yanjia smiled, and said in his heart how could there be such a mouse, I used to think that girls were very embarrassed to be rats, if the mice were so cute, who wouldn't like it!

Everyone looked at the Squirrel Seal.

The old grandfather praised it in his heart, he is really a caring person, this gift is so popular.

A childish voice suddenly sounded: "Is it that Xiao Xuan doesn't make a sound, you just forget Xiao Xuan!"

The voice carried a thick grievance: "Grandmother, you don't like Xiao Xuan anymore, you didn't introduce Xiao Xuan to your cousin, so Xiao Xuan didn't receive a gift from your cousin." ā€

The little boy who had been sitting on the side without making a sound pouted, and tears seemed to be falling from his big eyes.

Everyone was stunned and burst into laughter.

The old lady hugged the little boy and called her heart and liver baby, "Hey, how can I forget my little grandson, it's my grandmother who is not good, and my grandmother apologizes to Xiaoxuan!"

Five-year-old Xie Xuan's watery eyes stared at Xiaohe, seeing this, even the grandfather of the old country couldn't help laughing, that expression was really loving.

"There is Xiao Xuan's gift, Xiao Xuan, don't worry!" Xiao He was the most resistant to Xiao Xuan's cute expression, "Look, here, there are more than my sister!"

Xiao He opened the purse with dark patterns of pine needles in his hand and poured out five small jades.

"Oh," Xiao Xie Xuan ran over and looked at Xiao He's hand and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful!"

Xiaohe put the jade on the table, and everyone praised it.

The snow-white lying puppy, the yellow pounced puppy, the pitch-black standing puppy, the light green running puppy, and the lilac curled puppy, the knife work is delicate, and the various forms of the puppy are imitated vividly.

Xie Xuan carefully put the five puppies into his purse and refused to let go.

"Little Crane, which of our works is this, it's very novel," the old lady looked at Little Crane and couldn't say what she liked, well, it was really a kissing niece, "I haven't seen such a lively and cute little animal." ā€

Xiaohe was a little proud, hum, this skill that has been practiced for more than ten years has really not been left behind, even if it has been empty for eight years in the middle. Yes, in the eight years on Duxian Mountain, Xiaohe didn't get a carving knife.

"Back to my grandmother, this is ......" Xiaohe was about to say that he had carved it himself. There was a sound of footsteps outside, "Grandpa Guo, old lady," it was the voice of Mama Zhang, who was close to the old lady, "The prince and the eldest lady, the second lady, they are all here." ā€

"Let everyone come in!" commanded the old grandfather.

General Xie and the eldest lady Wang took Xie Chen and Xie Xun, and the second lady Lin took Xie Heng and Xie Jue into the room and gave the old grandfather and the old lady a salute first. The four of them gave a salute to General Xie and others, and the room was lively.

Wait for everyone to sit down again.

The old grandfather said solemnly: "Today, I called everyone here because I have something to announce. ā€

Everyone was silent.

Grandpa Lao Guo paused for a moment and continued: "Xiaohe is Cai Wei's adopted daughter, and that is our niece. The two of us discussed, and in ten days, we would make up for the little crane and make up the gift, which was to recognize the little crane. ā€

"Little Crane," the old grandfather looked at Little Crane, "You will thank you in the future, and your name will be Xie Xiaohe." ā€

Xiao He hurriedly walked to the middle, kowtowed, and said, "Xiao He greets his grandfather, his grandmother!
