In the afternoon, a few traces of white clouds like cotton wool are ethereal, and the hot sun hanging high in the clear blue sky is still hot, and the sound of cicadas is endless. The notes of summer are like a lullaby in the afternoon. People who are not used to it feel noisy, and people who are used to it will not sleep without it.

Chen Xin'er lightly withdrew from the room. Careful backhand to bring the door. said apologetically to the three people standing under the porch: "I'm sorry, my grandfather is taking a nap, I'm afraid the three of you will have to wait for a while." ”

"That's right...... Oh, it's okay, we can wait for him to get up, and then we'll see him again. Zhou Yu said busily.

After knowing that the Chen Bo that the others were looking for was Chen Xin'er's grandfather, he also learned that this old man was the current helmsman of the Chen family. is equivalent to the big man of Hongmen, the uncle who sits in the hall. No matter according to the etiquette of the rivers and lakes, or the difference in seniority, as juniors, they can't take the liberty of disturbing his old man's lunch break. You should see you in prayer. Don't say wait two hours, even if you have to wait for two years. It's just that I came to the door empty-handed for the first time, and I'm really a little embarrassed, but I've already come in. It's not appropriate to go out and buy a new gift again, forget it, wait for the opportunity to make up for it later!

Chen Xin'er smiled slightly and said, "Those three, please come with me." ”

"Excuse me."

Walk through the patio in the courtyard and walk to the front yard. Chen Xin'er led the way in front and said as she walked: "My grandfather will take a nap for about two hours at noon every day, and this habit of his old man has never changed since I was sensible. ”

"The elderly sleep less, and when people are old, it is a good thing to be able to sleep. How much does his old man eat? ”

Chen Xin'er pursed her mouth and said with a sweet smile: "It's very delicious, I have two bowls of rice for every meal, and one meal is almost enough to catch up with my daily meal." Hehe. When it comes to her grandfather's physical condition, Chen Xin'er seems to be very happy. The delicate and white pretty faces are full of brilliance. Along the way, I told the three of them a lot of interesting things about the old man.

When they arrived at the front yard, Chen Xin'er went into the house to wait, but the three refused. Tang Ning pointed to the tall locust tree in the yard with a verdant canopy like an umbrella, flourishing and dense, more than ten meters high, and the two of them couldn't hug it, and said with a smile: "I think it's good to sit down there and wait." There are tables and stools. Take advantage of the shade in the shade. than staying in the house. ”

"Ning Zijian yì is good. Sister Xin'er, we are here waiting for his old man to get up. ”

"Alright then, I'll bring you some fruit, wait a minute."

"Two more bottles of chilled water." With his hands in his pockets, Jiang Tao, who was standing on the side, suddenly said. I didn't have the consciousness of being a guest at all, and my requests were so direct, with a calm face, as if I should still be divided. Fortunately, it was Chen Xin'er who received it, otherwise if it was someone else, it would probably be too lazy to greet them.

"Okay."

Chen Xin'er didn't think it was upset, and turned around and left. Looking at her slender and delicate back, Tang Ning teased: "Zhou Yu, you won't have a sister complex, right?" I see you screaming one sister after another, your mouth is so sweet? ”

"If only she were my sister!" Zhou Yu sighed and sat on the big-bellied round stone bench polished by bluestone. Downing didn't know why he had this strange attitude. Sit across from him. Elbows on the stone table, hands supporting chins, puzzled, with a little curiosity, asked, "Is it convenient to talk about it?" ”

Zhou Yu sighed again and said, "Our Zhou family's yang qi is too strong. Except for some maids, my mother is a woman. I heard from my mother that I originally had an older sister, but before I was a year old, she died. Mom and Dad were sad about this for many years. It wasn't until I was born that things eased a bit. All these years, they didn't say anything, though. But I know that they have never forgotten my short-lived sister whom they have never met......"

"This guy has been arranged by his family to go on blind dates since he was fifteen years old. In the past two years, he has spent more time in our house than in his own home. The reason why I came to study in China is that I have no escaping thoughts in it. ”

"Oh?" Tang Ning's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Is there anything else?" Then he laughed and said, "The fifteen-year-old kid is in a hurry to arrange a blind date?" Your family wants to hold their grandchildren, right? ”

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and said, "It's not a grandson." It's a granddaughter! Including my grandfather, they all want my future child to be a girl. There are too many men in our Zhou family, and girls are scarce. ”

"Then whoever marries into your Zhou family in the future can be regarded as caught. You can't be a baby, right? ”

"Almost!"

"It seems that your sister, who died young, has stimulated the people of your Zhou family from top to bottom. And the excitement is quite big. It's been all these years, and the irritation arc hasn't gone away. ”

"Well, I think so."

"Hehe, then you have to work hard, I think this sister Xin'er is good, she is beautiful, quiet, well-behaved and delicate, Zhong Tiandi is beautiful, she is a rich and noble person who has a long life and is a hundred years old." Tang Ning grinned, leaned closer to his ear and whispered, "Work harder, how about chasing her down?" If you marry her, you will definitely be able to add a little princess to your Zhou family at that time. ”

"Get out!" Zhou Yu glanced at him angrily and said, "Tang Daneng, I don't believe you didn't find out." When Sister Xin'er talked to us, her eyes stayed on you several times, and she looked like she wanted to speak. I see, you should chase after you. If you chase it, the success rate will definitely be much greater than mine. ”

"Hehe, it's not likely. Besides. I am very dedicated to feelings, and I must not be Chen Shimei after entering Beijing. ”

"Cut, what you say is just nonsense that doesn't go through your stomach. There is no such thing as a bad being for men. The red flag at home does not fall. Bunting fluttered outside. Wandering around the flowers, folding flowers with their hands, liking the new and hating the old, and seeing the nature of different thoughts are common diseases of men. Could it be that you are noble and noble? Can you uphold the heart of loyalty and defend your family Feifei like jade? I don't even believe it. ”

"Believe it or not, we'll see."

"Bet?"

"Bet on what?"

"If you Tang Ning likes another woman in addition to your family Feifei in the future, even if you lose, how about it?"

"Bet on it, you lose?"

Zhou Yu patted his chest and said, "Including these more than 100 catties, as long as you ask for it, I will do it." ”

"Deadline?"

"What deadline?" Zhou Yu was confused.

Tang Ning said: "Stupid, I asked for you." If there is no deadline, will this bet continue until you and I are seventy or eighty? Unlimited continuation? Make a lifelong bet? When the old teeth are gone, what is the meaning of winning or not winning, and losing or not losing? ”

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Yes, then ......" He rubbed his fingers, lowered his head and thought about it, then raised his head and said, "Then it will be before the age of thirty." Before the age of thirty, men are young and strong, and it is the time when the physiological functions of the human body are at their peak and the needs are the strongest. It's fair. ”

"Okay, the bet is made!" Tang Ning raised his hand to shoot each other.

Zhou Yu shouted, "Wait a minute, what if you lose?" ”

Tang Ning withdrew his raised palm, touched his chin, and looked up at the sky. He muttered to himself, "I lose? Can I lose? I didn't think I'd lose, huh? ”

Zhou Yu slapped the table with both hands, stood up on the table, and glared at him condescendingly. "Don't think that if you are powerful, you really think you are powerful. Hurry up, less nonsense, what if you lose? ”

Tang Ning pinched the tip of his chin with his fingers and raised his eyes to look at Zhou Yu's angry face. Hehe said: "It's impossible for me to lose anyway." Take 10,000 steps back, if I really lose, then you can do it. You say what's the matter, it's all done, right? ”

"Okay, deal! Jiang boy testified. After speaking, he turned his head to look at Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao, who was sitting between the two of them, nodded in agreement without hesitation. "No problem. The two of you are the actors who sing on stage, I am the audience, and I don't suffer inside and out. I am a Witness. ”

"Good!"

"Good!"

Syllable! A crisp sound resounded throughout the front yard, and the clapping was finished. Both are confident. They glared at each other unconvinced.

"Say what? So lively? ”

A gambling contract had just been made here, and Chen Xin'er, who had changed her clothes on the other side, walked over. A white short-sleeved shirt with a round neck printed with a Mickey motif, and a pair of cropped pants that are also white, with half of the white shiny calves exposed from the knee down. Eyebrow-length bangs, a jet-black hair tied with a snow ribbon, from the back of the neck on two shoulders on the towering chest, the ends of the hair slightly curled.

The lips are red without Danzhu, without makeup, without powder, and the natural snow skin is almost transparent. Good temperament, gentle and lovely, full of youthful breath from the inside out, the whole person looks refreshing and well-behaved. The clear eyes seem to be able to purify the filth of time.

The three of them were amazed. Zhou Yu was even more heartfelt: "Sister Xin'er, you are so beautiful!" ”

It is the habit of Westerners to be very direct when praising a woman. The Orientals, on the other hand, are a little more subtle. Chen Xin'er is obviously not used to this kind of face-to-face praise. For a while, the cheeks that were embarrassed and rosy added a little more delicate. Slightly angry: "What nonsense, I'm just a girl in a small town, where can I be beautiful?" ”

She didn't give Zhou Yu a chance to speak again, and walked forward quickly, carrying a fruit basket in one hand and a tray in the other, in addition to a few cups on the tray, there was also a duckbill teapot with white porcelain and blue flowers. Come to the stone table and put down the fruit basket and tray. In front of each person is a white teacup made of fine porcelain. Picking up the small teapot, he poured tea for the three of them, and said, "Taste it, this is my own iced tea." The effect of quenching thirst and avoiding the heat is better than the water sold outside, so ......" After speaking, he looked at Jiang Tao apologetically, because he wanted cold water before.

Zhou Yu hurriedly said: "Sister Xin'er, don't worry about him." ”

Tang Ning on the side also picked up the poured tea, the water was as blue as blue, clear to the bottom of the cup, and the tea leaves could not be seen. It has a light fragrance. Cold, slightly bitter in the mouth, but not astringent, the aftertaste is tactful in the mouth, long, and the taste is excellent, Tang Ning was surprised: "There is the taste of Fujian's ice core lotus seeds and snow hibiscus." ”
