The man nodded, although he was still lazy, but it was a little better than the previous appearance of sitting on the side of the road at any time, and he reached inside, but with a bit of gentlemanly demeanor, he said, "Go in first." My name is Zhai Xi, and I am Zhai Xu's second brother. You can just follow him and call me second brother. ”

Isn't Zhai Xu an only child? Why is there still a second brother? Maybe it's my cousin. Le Xiaoxiao remembered that last time Zhai Xu mentioned that he had an uncle, this was probably his uncle's child?

"Second brother is good." Le Xiaoxiao called out obediently. Zhai Xi seemed quite satisfied, and led Le Xiaoxiao to the courtyard.

Entering the gate is a shadow wall, mottled with some traces of oil paint, turning a corridor, passing through the weeping flower gate, and bypassing a huge jujube tree. The smile on Le Xiaoxiao's face was already a little stiff, okay, now it really feels like Lin Daiyu has entered Jiafu. After the last dinner, Le Xiaoxiao once again had a new understanding of Zhai Xu and his living environment.

Le Xiaoxiao's nerves that had just tensed up were instantly shattered by the figure in front of him. Zhai Xu was wearing a gray home clothes, Tara was wearing slippers, carrying an antique-like big pu fan in his hand, and he walked along the shady place at the base of the wall, kicking Ritara's stroll over, I have to say that Zhai Xi next to him is really Zhai Xu's second brother.

Le Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh out loud, watched Zhai Xu come over, held a pu fan to cover Le Xiaoxiao's head, and said, "It's a big sun, and I don't wear a hat or anything." Zhai Xu tilted his head and glanced at Zhai Xi, and then said, "You met at the door?" It's rare that you're a lazy person willing to come over and eat? ”

"That's right, my future brother-in-law is here, your second brother and I have to give some face, don't we?" Zhai Xi was lazy and didn't even seem to bother to hook the corners of his mouth, but he could see a smile in his eyes.

"Now you know it's my second brother? Why didn't you hide from the ghost shadow and pretend that the Zhai family didn't have you like that? Zhai Xu pursed his lips, took Le Xiaoxiao with ease, saw Le Xiaoxiao struggling, and glanced in the direction of Zhai Xi. This time, Zhai Xu was even more dissatisfied, so he had to retreat and take Le Xiaoxiao's hand and walk forward.

Zhai Xi looked at the little couple walking hand in hand in front of him, he didn't seem to have the slightest consciousness of the light bulb, tilted his head and said to Zhai Xu: "You have to hide, our family is honest with you, as soon as the old man speaks, you will obediently roll back from abroad." If I had your ability, the American emperor who relied on the emperor of the sky would not come back after death. ”

Zhai Xu...... Honest ...... Le Xiaoxiao bit her lip and snickered. was discovered by Zhai Xu, secretly pinched the meat on the back of her hand and twisted it gently, and when she saw her quickly put away and snickered with an expression, she rubbed again with satisfaction, and then said in a rather meaningful tone: "I can't hide from the first day of junior high school, but I can't hide from fifteen." ”

Zhai Xi showed a bitter face, shook his head and said: "Zhai Xu, your kid has hurt me, what about the united front, brotherly love?" Our brothers can still help each other if they don't get married, and when you get married, all the old man's attention will be on me. Wait for your life, my God, I guess I can find a place deep in the mountains and old forests where there is no signal to hide, or the whole family will miss me to death. ”

Zhai Xu said leisurely: "Don't, I'm still waiting for the day when my daughter sweetly calls you second uncle." I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Le Xiaoxiao finally couldn't help laughing, although Zhai Xu's mouth said that my daughter made her face red, but she couldn't help but can't help but cry out sweetly "Second master" The picture of the little girl with big eyes in her brain calling "Hello second master" really couldn't help laughing. Le Xiaoxiao apologized repeatedly, waved her hand at Zhai Xi's complaining face, and said with a smile, "Your brother has a good relationship. ”

The brothers chatted with each other, which made Le Xiaoxiao feel a lot more comfortable and diluted the nervousness of meeting her parents. After turning another corridor, it suddenly opened up in front of me, revealing a small square courtyard. There are three spacious north rooms on the front, wings on the left and right, and an elm tree on one side of the courtyard.

Under the eaves, Zhai Xu's parents stood together and held hands intimately, chatting with the old man sitting in front of them. The crane-haired old man held a tea jar, drank tea, and watched two old hens in a corner of the yard chasing ants all over the ground to eat.

The two brothers of the Zhai family saw that the old man had obviously restrained his previous hippie smiling face, and their expressions were a lot more respectful. Especially Zhai Xi, after calling grandpa, quickly hid to the side. Zhai Xu was obviously much calmer, secretly squeezed Le Xiaoxiao's hand, and said, Grandpa, Xiaoxiao is here.

The old man of the Zhai family was not as majestic and difficult to get along with as Le Xiaoxiao imagined, so he chatted with her quite casually, and then turned his head and asked Zhai's mother to ask if the kitchen was ready, don't starve a few children.

What made Le Xiaoxiao breathe a sigh of relief was that the Zhai family seemed to have separate tables for the elders and juniors. Looking at the two tables in the restaurant, the dishes on the table seemed to be different, and when he was hesitating and not knowing what to mean, Zhai Xu pulled Le Xiaoxiao and Zhai Xi to consciously sit at a table outside.

When she saw the dishes on the table, Le Xiaoxiao was still a little taken aback. I thought it would be a very traditional dish, but it turned out to be a home-cooked dish that combines Chinese and Western styles. A dry roasted fish, a plate of braised prawns, grilled chicken, and sauced duck are not to mention. A plate of piping hot tonkatsu is still smoking, and a small plate of spicy soy sauce is served on the side. A large salad bowl holds a potato salad, soft and glutinous potatoes, served with cucumbers, ham, carrots, hard-boiled eggs, and homemade mayonnaise, tossed in a large pot.

When Le Xiaoxiao didn't react, the Zhai brothers had already filled half a bowl of potato salad with a big spoon and ate it.

"Yo, it's been a long time since I've eaten Aunt Zhang's potato salad. I still remember when I was a child, this pot was all eaten by our brothers. It's still the same taste, so nostalgic. Zhai Xi half-closed his eyes and sighed in enjoyment.

Zhai Xu also gave Le Xiaoxiao half a spoonful and said, "Aunt Zhang, let's be children." You also taste, the love of our brother when he was a child. I don't think it's new now, but it was a rare delicacy twenty years ago. There is also pork cutlet, Aunt Zhang's specialty dish, which is definitely better than the outside. ”

Le Xiaoxiao glanced at the other table, and there was really no such dish on the table of the old man of the Zhai family and Zhai Xu's parents. As you can imagine, in the early years, it was all about satisfying the tastes of picky eaters, and now it leaves a nostalgia for the old days.

I tasted it in small bites, homemade, but delicious. It's the kind of delicious taste that I feel amazing in the first bite, delicious in the second bite, and then I can't help but feel that I can't stop taking one bite at a time. And if you eat too much, you won't feel greasy or sad, only satisfied. Unconsciously, Le Xiaoxiao also followed the Zhai brothers to eat half a bowl of potato salad.

The old man of the Zhai family didn't talk much when he ate, occasionally chatting a few words, commenting on the dishes, but the whole restaurant was quite quiet.

Suddenly, a sweet female voice at the door said with a smile: "Ouch, look, I said that I came early, I made the two of us feel like we were here to eat, I'm really embarrassed." ”

Le Xiaoxiao turned her head, the girl in the red dress almost staggered over, walked to the bottom of the steps and stopped, her face was obviously pale, and she blurted out to Le Xiaoxiao: "Why are you here?" ”

Chen Yaxin stared at her round eyes with an unhappy face, Le Xiaoxiao had a big mouthful of pork chops stuffed in her mouth, she was eating to her heart's content, and she couldn't speak, so she had to smile slightly, and then covered her mouth and continued to chew.

Chen Yaxin was even more unhappy at this time, and she was about to open her mouth with her eyebrows raised, but Chen Siyuan next to her interrupted her with a gentle mouth: "Yaxin, go and say hello to the old man first." ”

"Oh." Glaring at Le Xiaoxiao reluctantly, Chen Yaxin ran into the house obediently, and called out crisply, "Hello Grandpa Zhai, grandpa is really getting younger and younger, and he is more energetic than Yaxin before he went abroad!" Hello uncle and aunt, Yaxin is here, I wanted to come back later, but I was afraid that you would rest at noon, so I had to come and have a meal! ”

Old man Zhai said with a smile: "The little girl of the Chen family, her mouth is sweeter when she comes back from abroad." Siyuan is also here, okay, there are many people. Go and ask Aunt Zhang to add two stools, and go to Zhai Xu and they can make do with two bites. ”

Zhai's mother brought two stools to Zhai Xu's table, and she didn't care about the younger generation, so she went back to eat with the old man.

Zhai Xu and their round table were originally three people, and the three of them naturally sat in a triangle, and Le Xiaoxiao was a little closer to Zhai Xu. At this time, after moving two chairs, Le Xiaoxiao automatically and consciously stood up and moved the seat to Zhai Xu's side. As soon as Zhai Xi leaned next to Zhai Xu, Chen Yaxin stuffed the stool between the two of them and sat down.

Zhai Xi was hit by the leg of the stool, gasped, patted Chen Yaxin's shoulder, and said, "I said Chen Da...... Miss, even if you have a wide heart and a fat body, you don't need to take advantage of this ...... What a land, right? ”

Chen Yaxin glanced at him and said, "Zhai Er, your mouth is itching again, right?" ”

Zhai Xi moved the bowl to the side, sat directly opposite Zhai Xu, and said with a smile: "Miss Chen, this is in our Zhai family, your old man has to be somewhat restrained, not to look at my Zhai Xi's face, but also to see our Zhai Xu's face, right?" ”

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" Chen Yaxin rolled her eyes, turned her head to look at Zhai Xu, and immediately changed into a beautiful smile, "Zhai Xu, are you welcome to come to the door?" ”

Zhai Xu smiled indifferently and nodded at her, Chen Yaxin didn't have time to be happy, but she heard Zhai Xu say, "I'm not welcome." ”

"Hahaha!" Zhai Xi laughed unscrupulously.

"Shut up!" Chen Yaxin stepped on Zhai Xi's foot when she raised her foot, turned around, half-hung her head, put on a crying expression, and said aggrievedly, "Zhai Xu, how can you be like this, you wouldn't have talked to me like this." ”

After waiting for a while, Chen Yaxin didn't hear Zhai Xu speak, and looked up timidly with a pitiful expression, Zhai Xu smiled gently, pinched the peanuts in front of him with his left hand and ate them, and ...... with his right hand

Le Xiaoxiao was full, to be precise, she was eating, but the elders didn't move, and the Chen brothers and sisters hadn't eaten yet, and it was not easy for them to talk about walking. On the side, Chen Yaxin kept talking, Le Xiaoxiao was naturally too lazy to listen to her confession to Zhai Xu, and she was unwilling to quarrel with her on such an occasion, but listening to this background sound, Le Xiaoxiao actually said that she was a little drowsy.

It's not good to be confused, Le Xiaoxiao cheered up, simply grabbed Zhai Xu's right hand, and played with his fingers. Zhai Xu's palm is not wide, but the fingers are very long, and the bone joints are not very prominent, but the strength of the fingers can be faintly seen under the thin skin and flesh. Le Xiaoxiao rubbed one of Zhai Xu's fingers with both hands, Zhai Xu's hand is very soft among men, in the words of the old man, it also looks like he has never worked since he was a child.

Le Xiaoxiao was concentrating on playing, Zhai Xu just looked down at her playing, and after a while, he pinched a peanut and stuffed it into Le Xiaoxiao's mouth, but Le Xiaoxiao shook her head and dodged it, muttering, she couldn't eat it anymore if she ate too much.

The two of them were tired of being left behind, Chen Yaxin was so angry that her lungs were about to explode, even when Zhai Xu was good with herself, she had never spoiled herself like this, or rather, she had never seen Zhai Xu use this doting soft expression to any woman.
