"Old Man Chen, you're here." As soon as Shen Dongli heard this voice, he quickly stood up.

"Yes, Mr. Shen is eating, but I didn't come by chance." When the visitor saw that there were still dishes and chopsticks on the table, and some dishes were even steaming, they knew that the time they had come was not quite right.

If some people think more about this and think that they are here to eat, he really didn't expect that his family would eat so late.

In fact, in the past, it took a lot of mornings, but today is mainly a fuss from sunspots, and the central government has delayed a lot of time.

"It's okay, there's nothing to do, let's just talk about it." Shen Dongli glanced at Ah Xiu, and saw that her face was as usual, so he relieved himself.

He was afraid that because of the arrival of Old Man Chen, it would affect Ah Xiu's eating.

Ah Xiu had no appetite at all because of the sunspots, and when he saw a guest coming at this time, he took the opportunity to say, "Then I'll pack up my things." ”

In the past, half of the time this bowl and chopsticks were washed by Shen Dongli.

Although he still insisted on the idea of "gentlemen are far away from cooking" at the earliest, but later, he had no money and didn't work, which made him really not very interesting to face Ah Xiu.

So I started trying to do what I could, even though I broke several bowls at first.

But even now, Shen Dongli has not learned to wash clothes, and every time Ah Xiu washes his clothes, he has to blush.

Ah Xiu was not his maid, so every time he saw Ah Xiu washing clothes, he would think of the words he said to him before his sister, who was eight years older than him, was about to get married.

She just wants to marry an ordinary person and wash his clothes. Have a big fat son, that's enough.

Back then, her sister was going to marry an original partner who had just died. A man in his fifties, his sister committed suicide a year later.

Because the man was abusing her behind his back. She couldn't stand it anymore.

But externally, it is said that it is due to illness.

And now, when he sees Ah Xiu washing his clothes, he will imagine that the wife he will marry in the future will do the same to him......

"This is Mrs. Shen?" Old Man Chen felt a little familiar when he saw this figure, but because Ah Xiu kept his head down, he couldn't see his face, he only felt that Shen Dongli's wife looked like she was still very young, and that body looked no more than eleven or twelve years old.

However, Shen Dongli himself is only fifteen years old.

"Nope. No. When Shen Dongli heard this, his face turned red all of a sudden.

He himself felt panicked when he thought about this aspect a little on weekdays, not to mention that now that he said it so bluntly, his face could burn red all of a sudden.

"Old Chen?" When Ah Xiu heard this voice, he felt very familiar, and he didn't feel anything at first, but when he looked up, he saw a familiar face.

Isn't this the old man I just met an hour ago?

This Shen Dongli's guest turned out to be him?

Ah Xiu really has no way to connect two people in one, one is a beautiful boy. One is a bad old man, one is a nerd, and the other is a master of Xinglin.

"You're the little girl from before." When Chen Lao saw Ah Xiu, he was also stunned. Then there was a big laugh: "This is really fate!" ”

"Old Chen, then you sit down first, and I'll serve you a pot of tea. You talk. Ah Xiu quickly put away the dishes and chopsticks.

When I bought this house, Daddy originally bought it with only two people in mind, so I only bought three rooms. One kitchen, one hall.

Originally, Shen Dongli's room was specially used to stack sundries. Later, he was allowed to live.

It's just that compared to the other two rooms, both in size and orientation, they are not very good.

But he never complained about anything.

Ah Xiu originally didn't like to have an extra stranger in the family, but after a long time, and the wine father was always not at home, even if Shen Donglian's force value was almost zero, at least it made her feel a lot more at ease.

Although he was clumsy, he often helped her and burned a fire for her, which surprised Ah Xiu and was also a little relieved.

If he didn't know how to pay, Ah Xiu would have kicked him out of Lu a long time ago.

Anyway, the kick that the wine daddy kicked was already good.

"I'm sorry for you." Shen Dongli said softly to Ah Xiu, he felt that Ah Xiu was very tolerant of allowing him to bring guests in, but he didn't expect her to help him entertain, which made his heart rise all of a sudden.

"It's okay, you can talk to Chen Lao first."

To be honest, Ah Xiu's enthusiasm is really not for Shen Dongli, she just has a good impression of Chen Lao, especially when he helped him just now.

What Shen Dongli thought about was completely self-inflicted.

After the two sat down, Senior Chen looked at Shen Dongli carefully, nodded all the time, and saw that Shen Dongli's expression was getting more and more weird, so he said, "You are the son of Miss Lin Wanqinglin." ”

Shen Dongli was shocked in his heart, there was already a guard in his eyes, and the smile on his face disappeared all at once.

Chen Lao shook his head slightly in his heart, he was really young, and he had been protected so well since he was a child, and he couldn't disguise it on the surface.

It's just that this kind of true temperament is like the young lady of the Lin family.

"Don't be too nervous, I only taught Miss Lin for two years." Old Chen's voice was very calm, deliberately soothing Shen Dongli's tense emotions.

"You taught my mother?" Shen Dongli didn't completely let down his guard, but after hearing what Old Chen said, there was a hint of curiosity in his expression.

"Back then, your mother was interested in medical skills, and it happened that I ...... I went to your mother's house to make a western seat, but your mother was only five years old at that time, and later because of the difference between men and women, I left the Lin family. Old Chen's words were a little vague.

Those years were the most depressed time for him, he was not skilled but had ridiculous self-esteem, and was disgusted by the people around him, but he couldn't get out of that dead end.

When he thought that he would live like this in his life, he met Lin Wanqing, the eldest lady of the Lin family, who was only five years old at the time.

He worked as a teacher in the Lin Mansion for two years, and although he left later, everyone remembered that he was from the Lin family, and they were a lot more polite to him.

He did that after that. There is a lot of credit to this experience.

It's just that he figured it out later and got tired of that circle. I returned to my hometown.

Unexpectedly, he heard that the Shen family had embezzled disaster relief medicinal materials. Full of news that the door was raided.

Only the son-in-law Shen Dongli who went out to study at that time was left in the family, he remembered that the old lady of the Shen family was also from this side, so he kept some eyes, but he didn't expect that the hard work paid off, and he really let him find it.

He has always wanted to repay the love back then, and he originally thought that there was no hope in this life.

After all, the Shen family is in the capital, and they can be regarded as upstarts.

It's really like a tiger!

"Then ...... you" Shen Dongli's eyes were slightly red when he heard Old Chen talk about his mother. He didn't expect to meet his old friend here.

"Knock knock." Chen Lao gently tapped the table with his fingers twice, and then his expression changed, and he smiled very kindly: "I have been hearing recently, Mr. Shen, that you have a calligraphy family of your own, and I came here to ask for advice." ”

Shen Donglian's reaction was obviously not as fast as Chen Lao's, and there was still a trace of sadness and confusion in his eyes.

"Old Chen, come and try this tea." Ah Xiu came out with a teapot, but it was not a teacup that matched the teapot, but two large bowls.

The teacups at home were broken because she moved before, and she is not such a reserved person. I took two bowls as a match.

"What kind of tea is this, the smell is very fresh." Chen Lao didn't take it seriously, but when Ah Xiu poured out the tea, he sat up straight all of a sudden.

This smell is different from ordinary tea leaves. It has an indescribable freshness, but it also lacks the charm of other teas.

"This is peppermint tea, which clears away heat and relieves heat. It can also reduce stagnation and help digestion, so it is just right to drink in summer. Ah Xiu poured tea for both of them as he spoke.

Now there is already tea though. But she can't afford to drink good tea, bad tea. She might as well drink plain water.

So there was no such reserve at home, and when the guests came, Ah Xiu thought that there was no tea to entertain, so he temporarily thought of mint tea.

Although this tea is not on the big table, it is better to have new ideas, and it is still very good to drink it once.

"Not bad." Listening to Ah Xiu's introduction, Chen Lao immediately took a sip, and the coolness went down his throat all of a sudden, on such a day, drinking such tea is a kind of enjoyment, if it is chilled again, it will be better.

"How did you come up with the idea to make tea out of this mint leaf?" Chen Lao asked with some curiosity, this mint will be used in medicine, but few people will drink it like this, and there is some faint sweetness in it, presumably some sugar is put in it.

However, the dosage is relatively small, so that people can not easily notice, and they will not feel sweet.

"It's just a whim."

"It's really a girl, and she's ingenious." Chen Lao praised without hesitation.

If the wine father knew that his daughter was praised for her ingenuity, he might be in tears.

"Ahem, then you can continue to talk, I'll go back to my room." Ah Xiu was a little embarrassed when he heard Chen Lao praise himself like this, and felt that he was ashamed of it.

"Tea is in the kitchen, if it's not enough, remember to add it." Ah Xiu and Shen Dongli gave a word of advice and went back to the room.

She had just deliberately moved closer to Shen Donglian, and his eyes still had a hint of red, although it was not obvious, but Ah Xiu's profession had created her more sensitive observation than ordinary people.

Thus came to the conclusion that although they seemed to have just met in front of themselves, things were certainly not so simple.

Sometimes it has to be said that a woman's intuition is accurate and terrifying.

But Ah Xiu is not the kind of person who is curious and loves to gossip.

She felt more that more things were better than less, and as long as their relationship didn't affect her life, she could be regarded as ignorant of the Tao.

As for the small details that were observed, just throw them all aside.

It doesn't matter what Shen Dongli's true identity is, or what it has to do with Chen Lao, it doesn't matter about her. (To be continued......)
