The fine snow fell down and covered the faces of the people, and this snow fell on the faces, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into water. Ji Anning was very impatient, and after reaching out to smear his face, he whispered to Ji Li beside him: "Brother, the eldest aunt just told me that the old lady was in a bad mood early this morning, and asked us to be governors." I don't know if the old lady's mood has improved at this time, will we be allowed to enter the house quickly and say goodbye? ”

After Ji Shuli and Ji Anning returned to Ji's house, accompanied by the little uncle of the Tian family, they went to inform Ji Shouye and his wife, who were in charge of the family, first. After they put down their luggage, they went directly to the old garden to greet Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji. Along the way, they met several people who came and went, and when they saw that their eyes were full of joy and greeting each other, they greeted them one by one.

When they arrived at the old garden, there were fewer people, and the looks of the people who came and went were vigilant, and after they saw Ji Shuli and Ji Anning's brothers and sisters, they saluted silently and hurriedly left the vicinity of the old garden. Ji Shuli and Ji Anning's originally happy faces gradually converged on the smiles on their faces. When Ji Li heard Ji Anning's words, he tried his best to protect Ji Anning by his side, and reached out to her forehead, wanting to shield her from the snow.

Ji Anning stretched out his hand and ripped it off, rudely pressed it into his pocket, and said with a strange mouth: "Brother, it's cold outside, your hand is used to hold the pen, and it can't be frozen." Ji Li looked at her with a smile and said, "Ning'er is not angry?" Ji Anning breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and said, "After a while, the old lady has something, and my brother and I will hide from the snow under the eaves." ”

Ji Li looked at Ji Anning's appearance, and he smiled and said to her, "You." Uncle is at home today, and the old lady won't let us wait outside. Ji Anning nodded lightly, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Brother, it's the New Year, and I'm one year older." Ji Li looked at her smiling eyes and asked with a smile: "Ning'er, what gift do you want your brother to give you for the New Year?" ”

Ji Anning looked at him with a grin, and whispered: "Brother, in the New Year, you can come to accompany me more when you are free, this is my New Year's gift, okay?" Ji Li blinked vigorously, looked down at the fat and short little man beside him, he nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, my brother will accompany you more." ”

The old garden has arrived, and Mrs. Ji really has something, so she needs Ji Li's brother and sister to wait outside for a while and go in to say goodbye. The brother and sister stopped under the eaves, watching the snowflakes fluttering and fluttering, and the uncontrollable cold wind blew and blew, and the brother and sister got closer together. After a while, their brother and sister entered the warm room, and greeted the old lady Ji who was sitting on the couch, and the old man glanced at the two of them, then waved at them, and said very considerately: "It's cold, don't delay here, go back and rest early." ”

Ji Li's brother and sister quickly went in and out, they went to the door of the old lady's room, and were soon welcomed by the old lady's people, the servants served them with hot water and wiped their faces and hands, and the old lady beckoned them to sit on the warm kang quickly. The old lady sat cross-legged across from each other, and greeted the two of them with a warm smile to drink a bowl of hot ginger syrup. Ji Lili's brother and sister were very obedient, and after drinking a bowl of sugar water, they all felt warm.

Mrs. Ji smiled and said: "In the past, our family was poor, and the children's cotton clothes were thin, and your eldest and second uncles came back from outside, and I was worried that they would catch a cold, so I always asked them to drink a bowl of ginger syrup." Now that the weather is cold, the two of them often come to me to drink sugar water. Ji Shuli and Ji Anning obediently listened to the old man talk about the past, and when they saw the loving smile on her face, the brother and sister nodded again and again and said, "Grandmother, the sugar water here is delicious." ”

Mrs. Ji persuaded the two of them to drink another bowl, but the brother and sister quickly refused, saying that they wanted to eat Chinese food with their stomachs saved. Mrs. Ji smiled and left her grandchildren here for Chinese food, and sent someone to say hello to Bushi. The sound of the wind and snow blowing the window outside, hearing the people in the room frowning slightly, Mrs. Ji asked people to get two futons, she personally wrapped Ji Li and Ji Anning with quilts, and asked people to take off their coats and quickly take them to dry.

The warm quilt, the brother and sister accompanied Mrs. Ji for a conversation, and they both felt like they wanted to sleep, and they gave the old lady a glass of water and arranged to sleep directly on the kang. The fragrance of the food in the room came out, Ji Li gently shook Ji Anning awake, he took the dazed Ji Anning into the inside to freshen up, and only withdrew when he saw that she was gradually sobering, and saw that the servant woman was nearby, so it was convenient for her.

Mrs. Ji sat at the edge of the dining table, and after beckoning Ji Li to sit down, she looked at him with a smile on her face and said, "Li'er, you are a good brother who will take care of your sister." Ji Li blushed and whispered: "Ning'er is very well-behaved and obedient, just now she was suddenly woken up by me, so she was so confused." She doesn't usually act like this, although she is young, she does all these little things of her own extremely well. ”

Ji Shuli is very proud of Ji Anning's cousin, he feels that although his sister is young, she is quite self-reliant, after Tian's departure, he was also worried that Ji Anning would not be able to take care of himself, and a few days later, he saw that Ji Anning could dress and eat and other things, and he could be thoughtful without the help of others, so he gave up in order to facilitate him to take care of Ji Anning, he thought about living alone with her in the three gardens.

Ji Anning sat back at the dining table, she looked at Mrs. Ji with some embarrassment, and said, "Grandmother, I'm asleep." Mrs. Ji looked at her with a smile and said, "With grandmother here, it doesn't matter if you fall asleep." After Ji Anning smiled at Mrs. Ji with a pair of eyes, she turned her head to thank Ji Li and said, "Thank you brother for taking care of Ning'er." Ji Li looked at her with a smile and said, "No thanks." ”

Mrs. Ji moved the first chopsticks, and Ji Lili's brothers and sisters followed suit. Mrs. Ji took care of Ji Li's brother and sister's diet very carefully, and the brother and sister were a little supported by their full meals, and they were taken around in the room by Mrs. Ji. When Mrs. Ji was about to take a lunch break, the brother and sister left the old garden.

Ji Shuli and Ji Anning entered a garden, and when the main room was lively, the big house and the family were all talking in the room. After they saw Ji Li's brother and sister come in, Ji Anyu reached out and pulled Ji Anning to her side, pinched her ears with two slender fingers, and said, "Ning'er, you who don't want a sister if you have a brother, come, you say, what are you going to punish you for?" Ji Anning called Bu Shi with a smile: "Auntie, Sister Yu bullied me." ”

Bu Shi smiled and slapped Ji Anyu with his hands together, and said to her, "Ning'er, I'll help you hit her." She turned her head sideways to Ji Anyu and said, "Yu'er, let go of your sister's ears, you're going to tear it up, Ning'er won't be able to marry a lover in the future." Bush visibly soothed the child's demeanor and amused the people in the room. Ji Shouye also laughed to help Ji Anning, and said to Ji Anyu: "Yu'er, let go, for your sister to marry a lover, you can't tear her little ears." ”

Ji Anyu deliberately let go of her hand with an aggrieved face, and said to Ji Anning: "Ning'er, you sister-in-law, why are you so inconsiderate of my sister, you don't learn from other people's sisters on weekdays, so that I can put on a posture of being a sister in front of you at any time." Ning'er, I'm so sad. I didn't use any force with this hand, and everyone was afraid that I would touch you. ”
