Chapter 176: Family Portrait

The quaint courtyard was surrounded by creeper-covered walls, and the morning sun shone lightly on the sisters' faces.

Standing at the gate, Monet felt that he had been sucked in by the surrounding environment, Yin Yin also looked around curiously, at the same time, the courtyard door opened, and a woman in her fifties walked out, "Is it Miss Bai?" ”

"I am, you're Aunt Kang, right? Last time my grandma was hospitalized, I heard her mention you, and you just happened to be on vacation, so you couldn't see each other. ”

Aunt Kang opened the door and welcomed Monet and Yin Yin in, "No, just when I went back to my hometown to do something, her old man fell, and I felt guilty for a long time when I heard the news, and she kept comforting me." ”

"How's Grandma now?"

"The old lady is much better, come with me." Entering the yard is another scenery, a double parallel path, vegetable fields on both sides, just in the summer vegetables grow well, a lot of have been bullied to the road, there is gardening in the vegetable seedlings pinching and pruning, Monet didn't care, walked in only to find that the squatting gardening is Xing Zhaoyang's grandfather, "Why are you here?" ”

Glancing at Yin Yin lightly, the old man seemed to be smiling. "While the sun is not shining in the morning, I will clean the vegetable field, and it is still a little close, you guys go in first, and I will come later."

Yin Yin was obviously very interested in the things in the vegetable field, and took Monet's hand, reluctantly.

Aunt Kang smiled and said, "Miss, the vegetables in this vegetable field will come and pick them before cooking for you later, if you don't dislike it, will you come with me to pick the vegetables later?" ”

"Okay," agreed without hesitation, and then took a step and followed Monet inside.

Aunt Kang introduced as she walked, "Actually, Academician Zou usually prunes the vegetable fields when the sun is about to go down, but today I heard that you are coming, so I deliberately made an excuse to see the old lady first." ”

"Is there any difference between this one step at a time?"

"The old couple is okay at home, and they gamble happily, because the young lady is happy to come back, so they each bet on their own treasures as a bet."

Hey, these old couples are quite good at playing.

After walking for more than ten minutes, I finally arrived at the door of the house, the door was wide open, and the sound of Zhang Luo in the house could be heard far away.

This house is the same as the style of the courtyard, on the way I heard Aunt Kang's introduction, saying that it was the site of the Qing Dynasty, which was bought by Xing Yongli and renovated some, and the second elder has lived in it for more than ten years.

Aunt Kang introduced the guests into the house, and saw that the old lady had just come out of the kitchen, and when she saw Monet and Yin Yin, the old lady's eyes lit up, "Mo Net, you are here, Yin Yin, come and sit down here." ”

On the coffee table, there are dragon fruits, kiwi fruits, etc., all of which are cleanly processed and put in a beautiful pattern in the fruit bowl.

When they first met, the old lady did not immediately hug her grandson and kiss her, but kept her distance, starting with a conversation, starting with the idiom stories that Yin Yin was concerned about, and continuing to talk about the protagonists of Grimm's fairy tales.

Monet sat next to Yin Yin from beginning to end to observe, and found that after only an hour of chatting, the little guy had completely opened his heart to his grandmother, and the distance between the two was almost pasted, and Yin Yin took the initiative to get closer.

Monet clearly saw the smugness on his grandmother's face when Yin Yin approached, and it seemed that the old man was also cautious, deliberately lowering his voice when he said important points.

It was an hour before Academician Zou entered the house, carrying a hurdle with yellow lantern tomatoes and a finger-long delicate gherkin.

In order to attract the attention of their grandson, the old couple really tried their best, and the old man finally won and successfully pulled Yin Yin out of the fairy tale and into the vegetable field.

Sitting on the sofa, Grandma pushed the fruit bowl to Monet's side, "I don't know what fruits you like,

When I called Zhaoyang, he only said a few things, and there was no way, so I let Aunt Kang watch and prepare. ”

"Grandma, you don't need to bother so much, you will always come in the future, if it takes so much trouble every time, then I really don't dare to come again."

"Okay, then treat it as your own home, I see that your face is not very good, are you too busy preparing for the wedding?"

Monet hesitated for a moment, "Wedding...... yes, it's been a bit busy these days. ”

"Zhaoyang's stinky boy is really good, I don't know if I feel sorry for my daughter-in-law, wait until the next time I see him, see how I clean it up."

"Grandma, in fact, I didn't do anything, just some wedding dress choices, wedding pattern choices, he asked me to get an idea...... "I thought about a lot of bridges, and it was easy for the old man to coax over. Monet swallowed dryly. If you really prepare for your wedding like this, even if you are tired, you will be happy and tired. But now......

After getting familiar with the environment, Yin Yin jumped up and down, not knowing where to run. Grandma went to the kitchen to tell me about lunch, and before going in, told Monet to visit casually.

Still not worried about Sahuan's sister, Monet helped the escalator to the second floor.

The staircase has a wooden floor, an old-fashioned floor, and it creaks when you step on it. The second floor of this building was connected later, and there was originally only one floor, but the decoration style is still the same as the first floor, so the layman's perspective does not tell the old and the new at all.

Monet walked down the stairs and saw Yin Yin standing in front of the bookshelf and reaching for books much taller than her.

"Wait, don't move yet, I'll get it for you." Handing the book to Yin Yin, Monet looked up and suddenly became enlightened. Standing outside the door just now, it's really a tube of leopards, this study is actually a lot more than what looks from the outside, it is equivalent to opening up the partition between the second floor and the cubicle, and all the bookshelves are looking at the attic above. You have to look up to see the top.

is similar to the placement of Xing Zhaoyang's family book, the two sisters looked at the book and couldn't move, and turned around in it for a long time.

Near the window, on the windowsill is a cardboard box, about the length and width of a laptop. The box is open, and at first glance it is full of photos and frames.

It should be packed up and ready to be put in the warehouse.

Yin Yin was suddenly interested in the photos in the box, and without saying a word, she took down the box and poured all the frames inside to the ground.

It was too late for Monet to stop her, and she was just about to pack everything back when a family photo caught her attention.

It is said to be one, but in fact, two photos are nailed together with staplers, and there are three people in the top one, and there are also three people in the bottom one.

The key is that this family photo is very strange, and the three people on it can be seen after careful identification: one is Uncle Zou Yuan who has met once, and the other is the grandmother who is now busy working in the kitchen, but the man sitting next to the grandmother is very strange.

And the second photo is the same: one is Zou Ru when he was a teenager, and the other is his grandfather in the vegetable field, and the woman next to his grandfather is very strange. (To be continued.) )
