Bai Xiao looked around the room, and this box looked out of place with this coat, and nothing else had changed.

But it was these two things that made her heart lake, which had just calmed down, usher in a new round of waves.

If it's really him......

Bai Xiao didn't dare to think further, she ran out of the main house, looked around the yard but didn't find anything unusual.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the kitchen.

Bai Xiao came back to his senses and immediately ran into the kitchen, only to see Yu Jingxi sitting on the ground, with a large pot lid and a small bench lying next to him.

The little guy was stunned, clutching his little fingers, while the pot on the stove was steaming, and a white mist lingered throughout the kitchen.

Obviously, Yu Jingxi smelled the fragrance of rice and was greedy, but he was accidentally scalded by water vapor.

Bai Xiao hurriedly picked him up and pressed his red fat fingers into the cold water, and the little guy immediately bared his teeth, but did not cry out in pain.

There was burn ointment in the medicine cabinet at home, and Bai Xiao took it and applied it to him.

Yu Jingxi sat on the small bench, a cool breeze came from his fingers, and he let out a long sigh of comfort, "Apply a little more." ”

Bai Xiao knocked his head with ointment, "Let's see if you dare to eat it next time!" ”

"Is it okay if I want to eat that colorful meal?" Yu Jingxi leaned over his round little face and said flatteringly.

Bai Xiao knew that he probably saw the eight-treasure glutinous rice on the steaming rack, and was about to serve him some, when the courtyard door suddenly opened with a "squeak".

Grandma's familiar and friendly laughter sounded in the courtyard, as if she was talking to someone, "Just put it here, and I'll use it up in a while." ”

Bai Xiao put down the bowl in his hand and turned to walk out of the kitchen.

In the spacious yard, in addition to the smiling grandmother, there is also a man's slender and straight back.

Dark blue slacks, black turtleneck sweater, sleeves pulled up to reveal half of the lean forearms, those bony hands, clean nails, but at the moment carrying an old bucket, the well water in it occasionally dangled out of the bucket and sprinkled on his shiny black leather shoes.

"Xiaobai, who's coming?" Yu Jingxi stepped out of the threshold with his little short legs blankly.

When he saw the man in the yard, he was the first to scream: "Dad! Why are you here! ”

"Arrived?" When grandma saw Yu Jingxi, she was so happy that she immediately opened her arms, "Come, let grandma take a good look, I haven't seen it for a long time." ”

Yu Jingxi threw herself into her grandmother's arms and shouted sweetly: "Grandma! ”

Then my grandmother noticed Bai Xiao outside the kitchen door, "Go and get a basin of hot water and wash your hands for Xiao Shao." ”

Xiao Shao? Bai Xiao looked up at Yu Shaoting.

Yu Shaoting didn't look at her, and said very calmly: "No, I'll just go in and wash." So saying, he swept her into the kitchen.

Grandma had already urged Bai Xiao: "What are you doing standing here stupidly?" Why don't you go in and pour water for Xiao Shao? He was not familiar with ...... at home."

"I'll clean up my room." Bai Xiao walked to his room without looking back.

Entering the house, Bai Xiao closed the door, leaning on the back of the door, she touched her face, it was so hot that she could boil water, and her heart beat fast, she was still lucky, but she didn't expect it to be him, when did he come, and, why did you come here, what did you come for?

One question after another followed, and Bai Xiao slammed the door with the back of his head, trying to dispel the irritability and panic of this moment.

——————————

The moment the door of Bai Xiao's room closed, Yu Jingxi left his grandmother's arms and ran into the kitchen with a cigarette.

Yu Shaoting was washing his hands, his slender fingers were dipped in the basin, his movements were slow and orderly, and his height did not match the cramped and simple kitchen at all.

Yu Jingxi glanced at the door a few times, and then whispered, "Dad, what are you doing here?" ”

Yu Shaoting glanced at him, and his tone was not salty or light, "Do I want your approval when I come?" ”

"Dad, do you also want to celebrate the New Year with Xiaobai?" Yu Jingxi suddenly changed his attitude and asked shyly.

Yu Shaoting took a towel and wiped his fingers elegantly.

Yu Jingxi had already said with a yearning face: "I came to Xiaobai just to celebrate the New Year with her, to sleep with Xiaobai, and to have a reunion dinner with her." ”

Seeing that Yu Shaoting didn't speak, he looked at the door again, and after making sure that there was no one, he became a little bolder, "Dad, I regret it." ”

Yu Shaoting just poured the water in the basin, and when he heard this, he looked up at Yu Jingxi, who was pursing his mouth.

"I thought I could treat her as a stepmother, but I found that I still couldn't let go of my feelings for Xiaobai, and she liked me too." Yu Jingxi looked at Yu Shaoting, who had never said much: "Dad, you give her to me, we really like each other." ”

"When did I say let her be your stepmother?" Yu Shaoting threw out a sentence coldly.

Yu Jingxi was almost stunned by this sudden "good news": "Dad, are you sure you're not joking with me?" ”

Yu Shaoting had already opened the door of the kitchen and went out.

——————————

Bai Xiao stayed in the room until her grandmother called her outside for the third time before opening the door and going out.

Some things and some emotions all came to me the moment I saw Yu Shaoting. Even if she provoked it first, it was even more difficult for her to really face him calmly than to ascend to the sky. Was he her first man, or was he the first man to possess her in that situation.

What Yu Shaoting said that day was like a barb growing in her heart, and she felt uncomfortable when she touched it lightly......

Grandma was very warm to entertain the Yu family father and son. In the past, when Bai Qiuhua's family still lived here, they only knew about making trouble all day long, and they wanted to take some money from the old man during the New Year, except for the noise was Wu Xiumei's crying, it had not been so lively for a long time.

Bai Xiao saw Yu Jingxi, who was standing in front of the chicken pen with a small bowl to feed the chickens, and was a little distracted for a while.

"What are you thinking?" A deep male voice struck her nerves through the layers of mist.

Bai Xiao tilted her head slightly and found that Yu Shaoting had been standing diagonally behind her for some time.

The midday sun was warm, and he didn't put on his coat, and his tall figure cast a shadow on her.

Bai Xiao could even sense his gaze on her face, and when she saw that he was suspected of deliberately closing the distance between the two, she raised her hand and hooked the hair on her sideburns, and then walked down the steps without a trace to help her grandmother serve food.

——————————

Grandma was making a big pot of white rice, and when she saw Bai Xiao come in and stopped, "I see what's wrong with you today?" ”

"Is there one?" Bai Xiao avoided his grandmother's scrutinizing eyes and took out four bowls from the cupboard, "Maybe the train is too long." ”

"Listen to Xiao Shao, Jing Xi specially came to you from Fengcheng?" Bai Xiao snorted, and when her grandmother saw her absent-minded, she looked outside, "How did Xiao Shao know the address of our house?" ”

Comprehending the meaning of his grandmother's words, Bai Xiao denied: "I didn't tell him." ”

"And what do you think in your heart?"

Bai Xiao looked at her grandmother puzzled, and didn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a while.

Grandma looked at her with a hint of worry in her eyes: "You divorced Qiyou, is it because of you?" ”

The question that wanted to speak again and again made Bai Xiao still feel aggrieved, even if Grandma Zhidao said this because she didn't know.

"Little white little white!" Yu Jingxi shouted to her happily as she walked into the kitchen.

Grandma looked at the lovely and sensible Yu Jingxi, sighed slightly, and stopped asking Bai Xiao, but went out with two dishes instead.

Bai Xiao washed Yu Jingxi's hands and urged him to go to the main house, while he took away his disordered thoughts and walked to the stove to serve dinner.

——————————

Bai Xiao went over with three bowls of rice, Yu Jingxi was sitting on the bench, shaking two calves that couldn't reach the ground, occasionally stretching out his little hand, taking advantage of people's inattention, quickly scooping up a little vegetable and stuffing it into his mouth and swallowing it, seeing Bai Xiao coming in, he hurriedly got off the stool and ran over to help her get the rice bowl.

Yu Shaoting was not at the table, but he didn't see him when he passed by the courtyard just now.

But Bai Xiao didn't ask him where he went.

She turned around and went to the kitchen to get the remaining bowl of rice, and her grandmother reminded her while setting the dishes: "I haven't taken chopsticks yet." ”

"Okay." Bai Xiao touched Yu Jingxi's soft hair, and as soon as he entered the kitchen, he saw Yu Shaoting, who had just disappeared.

He was standing next to the cupboard drinking water, as if guessing what she was going to take, he opened the cupboard and took four pairs of chopsticks and handed them to her.

Bai Xiao went to pick it up, but he didn't let go, she didn't even lift her eyelids, she simply didn't take it, and walked straight out of the kitchen past him.

——————————

Bai Xiao felt that she and Yu Shaoting had returned to their previous ambiguous/ambiguous state, and even surpassed it.

This ambiguity suddenly overwhelmed her.

When eating, Bai Xiao deliberately chose the stool farthest away from Yu Shaoting, and when she sat down, Yu Shaoting glanced up at her.

Even though his grandmother complained a lot about the relationship between Bai Xiao and Yu Shaoting, she still warmly beckoned him to eat more vegetables, so he didn't get cold after a meal.

Bai Xiao put down his chopsticks and stood up suddenly, "I'll pour soy sauce." ”

Grandma looked at her in surprise: "What do you want soy sauce for?" ”

Yu Jingxi also stared at Bai Xiao's red cheeks with a pair of big round black eyes.

Only Yu Shaoting didn't look up from beginning to end, he ate methodically, as if he didn't see Bai Xiao's strangeness.

Bai Xiao glared at Yu Shaoting opposite with a little annoyance, and then walked out of the main house quickly, the cool wind blew away the red tide on her face, but there was still that tingling feeling on her calves, just now under the table, Yu Shaoting's feet kept hooking her, and then kept rubbing along her calves.

Why didn't she find out that he was so unserious before?

Bai Xiao was upset and didn't want to go back to eat, so he walked out of the yard with his hands and pockets, wandered around the neighborhood, and saw Yu Shaoting again.

Somehow, the first word that popped into her mind was haunting.

Bai Xiao turned around and left, and walked a long way before looking back, but Yu Shaoting didn't follow.

She stood by the lake for a long time, and thought about it a lot, feeling that it was a bit funny for her to run away, obviously it was her home, even if she wanted to leave, he would go.

On the way back, several aunts and aunts sitting under the locust tree not far from her home greeted her.

"This is Shinoshino, right? The years are not forgiving, even Xiaoxiao's child is so old in the blink of an eye......"

Zhilu said that they must have misunderstood that Yu Jingxi was her child, and just wanted to explain, someone came over with a rice bowl.

"Xiaoxiao, your husband bought such a big TV for your grandmother, will it not fit in the house?"

"So that's your husband? I'll just say, when did we have such a handsome man in our village, just now he drove a car and asked for directions, you don't know what to do, the little girls in the small supermarket at the entrance of the village stared at him and looked straight at him. ”

Bai Xiao found that she had no room to intervene at all, obviously everyone thought that Yu Shaoting was her husband, and it was difficult for her to distinguish between a hundred mouths.

"He's really not my ......"

"Mrs. Yu!" A loud voice interrupted her from far and near.

Bai Xiao subconsciously turned his head, and saw the villagers hurrying over with a man wearing a shopping mall uniform.

"Xiaoxiao, why are you still here? You're installing a TV at home, and your husband doesn't know which room to put it in, and grandma tells you to go back quickly! ”

The mall staff handed over a book and a pen: "Mrs. Yu, please write down your contact information and address." ”

The aunts who were chatting vigorously just now realized that Xiaoxiao's husband's surname was Yu, not the surname Pei ......

As soon as Bai Xiao returned to the door, he saw a mess, and Yu Jingxi moved a small bench to guard the door.

"I bought this egg steamer and put it in the kitchen, wrong, wrong! It's over there! ”

The little guy was nibbling on a banana while commanding, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply ran in to lead the way, and was very busy.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Bai Xiao was pulled into the corner by his grandmother and asked: "You have an honest relationship with your grandmother, what is your relationship with Xiao Shao?" ”

Bai Xiao's temples ached: "We are really not what you think. ”

"What's that? It doesn't matter that he will buy so many things for no reason? Will his son pester you like this? ”

Bai Xiao looked at the people coming in and out of the yard, and after a while, he said, "Qiyou met the girl he liked, and he wants to marry her." ”

Her voice was calm, as if she was talking about someone else's family, but when her grandmother heard it, she instantly fell silent.

Bai Xiao thought that she couldn't stand the stimulation and felt uncomfortable, but she heard her grandmother's sigh: "If that's the case, it's better to leave." ”

Yu Jingxi came out of the kitchen, wearing a brand-new frying pan on his head, the little fat hand covered his mouth and nose, and pretended to cough a few times, seeing Bai Xiao immediately pounced, pulled her and walked to the main house: "Xiaobai, I just sent a big TV, you go and see if you like it." ”

In the main room, the first thing that attracted Bai Xiao was not the fifty-two-inch LCD TV, but Yu Shaoting, who was squatting there wearing gloves.

"Xiaobai, do you like it? This is the latest model of the year. Yu Jingxi put his little hands behind his back, holding his little belly, and looked proud.

Bai Xiao stood at the door and watched Yu Shaoting's every move, when he raised his arm to wipe the sweat with his sleeve, she couldn't tell the feeling in her heart, when he noticed her gaze and raised her head to look over, she turned around suddenly, and left the main house as if she was running away. Yu Jingxi seemed to be stuck behind her with her little tail, and trotted step by step, "Xiaobai, what's wrong with you?" Xiaobai, Xiaobai? ”

A lot of new appliances and furniture have been added to the old house, and she really doesn't know which shopping mall in Ludao is still delivering Chinese New Year's Eve.

"If you don't like it, we'll let them send it back." Grandma stood beside her and patted the back of Bai Xiao's hand comfortingly, "Grandma still has some money here, you go and return it to Xiao Shao, just treat it as if we bought it ourselves, if it's not enough, grandma will find a way." ”

Yu Jingxi got a lollipop out of nowhere, and while licking it, he looked up at Bai Xiao for a while, and then looked at his grandmother.

Bai Xiao looked at the newly decorated house, and saw that her grandmother really went back to the house to get the money, so she hurriedly grabbed her: "I don't dislike ......"

Even if she wants to pay back Yu Shaoting's money, she should pay it back, and she doesn't want to be unhappy because of the New Year.

Grandma breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on her face, and clenched her hand: "It's hard for Xiao Shao to bother so much, don't let him live up to his intentions," she said, pulling Bai Xiao aside and whispering: "It's not bad for me to look at Xiao Shao, although I have a child......"

"Grandma, where do you think you are?"

Grandma pretended to be displeased and glared at her: "I'm from here, can't I even understand this little thing?" You're only twenty-four years old this year, will you live like this for the rest of your life? What should I do when I'm gone and you're alone? It's rare that this kid Jingxi likes you so much now. ”
