The late autumn in the imperial capital is very different from the one.

Unlike the south, which begins to rain as soon as autumn begins, the autumn in the north is really high and cool.

Not only is it rarely raining, but even cloudy weather is rare.

Ling Li squinted his eyes slightly, raised his head slightly, and felt the power of a round of scorching sun in the clear blue sky.

The sun was shining warmly on her body, and she even took off her coat and wore only a sweater.

And the old man in front of him is dressed in winter clothes. A thick sweater, a thin cotton jacket, a cashmere scarf around his neck, and a velvet hat on his head.

At such an age, it is no longer possible to see that the facial features are not the same as Nanzhiyi - an old man who is close to 100 years old, the muscles on his face are atrophied and collagen is lost, and there is only a layer of skin full of folds, wrapping the bones.

When they first came, there was an aunt in her fifties who accompanied her grandmother - it is said that it was the family's nanny Cao's mother, who had been in the Nanjia family since she was in her thirties, and she had been close to her family for more than 20 years in the wind and rain.

The parents of the Nan family are very busy, and the pair of sons are also different from each other, and the one who usually takes care of his grandmother is Cao's mother.

Seeing Ling Li and Nan Zhiyi coming, Cao's mother said that she went home to cook, and let them go home after accompanying her grandmother.

She was obviously very curious about Ling Li, but she was also very careful and didn't look at her too much, which made Ling Li feel good.

"Obviously, what do you say, what is Xiao Yi doing in Xichuan?"

Ling Li was still thinking back to her impression of Cao's mother just now, and Grandma Nan's words with a strong accent rang in her ears again.

Ling Li was a little helpless, and corrected again: "Grandma, I'm Ling Li, not Mingming." Also, Teacher Nan is in Funan, not in Xichuan. ”

Grandma Nan is old, her eyes have cataracts to see clearly, her ears are back, and her thick Huacheng accent makes it really difficult for Ling Li to communicate with her.

After seeing Grandma Nan for at least more than an hour, she barely got used to her grandmother's accent, and she finally understood what she was talking about.

Grandma Nan was very kind, smiling, and as soon as she came up, she held Ling Li's hand and refused to let go, so enthusiastic that Ling Li was a little flattered.

But there was no way to talk about it that day. What she said had no effect on Grandma Nan at all.

Grandma Nan has heard it since they met, and has been calling her Ming Ming since then, and has always stubbornly believed that Nan Zhiyi is in Xichuan and not in Funan.

The two provinces are good adjacent, but they are completely different in terms of name, economic status and climate, except for the fact that they can eat spicy food.

Ling Li didn't know how many times she had corrected her grandmother, and she didn't know how many times she had asked the same question.

But Nan Zhiyi took the trouble to correct her grandmother over and over again, and she had to follow up.

When facing Nan's grandmother, Nan Zhiyi, a person who is disgusting, has extraordinary patience.

No matter how many times Grandma said the same thing, he listened carefully, and no matter how many times Grandma Nan couldn't hear his reply, he would repeat it word by word - the volume was slightly louder, slowing down the speed of speech, not like a conversation with grandma, more like interacting with a babbling child.

Ling Li, who has experienced death, understands his actions very well - suddenly faced with the fact that his family members who have long been accustomed to being around him are leaving, in addition to being difficult to accept, he is trying to keep his relatives for a longer period of time.

As dusk approached, the sun set and the wind began to blow.

If the warm sun during the day gave Ling Li the illusion of a warm winter, the temperature was at least ten degrees lower after the wind rose, and told her with a shiver that this was a real north.

The nurse had already brought a large cloak to wrap her around her, and then trotted her back to the ward.

Not long after, the doctor came, and when he saw Nan Zhiyi, he greeted him with a smile: "Xiao Yi, come back to see grandma." ”

It seems that he is very familiar with it.

Nan Zhiyi nodded in response, and then pulled the doctor out of the ward and asked, "Can my grandma go home today?" ”

The doctor looked embarrassed, picked up the case in his hand and frowned for a long time, still shaking his head apologetically.

"Let's observe for a few more days, if there is no major change in the indicators, it is okay to be discharged. It's just that, with the current situation of the old man, I'm afraid that winter and spring will be difficult, and the winter in the imperial capital is especially sad. ”

"Then if grandma goes back to her hometown in the south, will it be better for her health?" Nan Zhiyi asked anxiously.

The doctor pondered it and said, "It's not impossible, it's just that the distance is far away, and Grandma Nan's body is only afraid that she won't be able to get on the plane or take the car, and I'm afraid that she won't be able to withstand the toss." ”

After a few more words of discussion about Grandma Nan's physical condition, the doctor left.

Nan Zhiyi's eyes were gloomy, he clenched his fists and sighed deeply.

Ling Li patted him on the shoulder: "Go in and accompany grandma." ”

They spent almost the afternoon in the sanatorium, and they didn't leave until it was dark.

Nan Zhiyi was still reluctant to leave, but his grandmother urged him to go home and let him go home to accompany his parents, after all, he hadn't seen him for more than half a year.

On the taxi back, Ling Li was afraid that Nan Zhiyi would be depressed, so she kept looking for a topic, and pretended to be relaxed: "I haven't seen my grandparents, let alone grandparents, so I don't know how to get along with the elderly." Fortunately, grandma couldn't hear it clearly, otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to pass the test today. ”

After speaking, he raised his eyes and looked a little cowardly: "And your parents, am I okay like this?" ”

Nan Zhiyi smiled and grabbed her right hand, put it in the palm of his hand, and raised his hand to brush the long bangs on her forehead, and said, "Perfect, beautiful, it's best to see your parents tonight." ”

The imperial capital's rush hour is worthy of its name, and in just three kilometers of road, they were stuck in a sea of cars and couldn't move, at least for an hour.

When they returned to Nan's house again, it was already half past seven - Nan's father had already called before this, saying that the meals were ready, and asked when they would be home.

The implication is to euphemistically say - don't let mom and dad wait too long, little rabbit cub.

Ling Li began to feel uneasy as soon as she got out of the car, and looked at the Nan family, which was already brightly lit, and her palms began to sweat.

Nan Zhiyi shook her fingers, gently raised her hand to her lips, and pulled it down.

Then, exaggeratedly: "Come on!" Female King Kong, you can! ”

Half an hour later, at the long dining table in the living room, Nan Huairen and Ganwoyu, Nan Zhiyi and Ling Li sat on both sides, eating quietly.

The Ganwo language is a typical strong woman dress. The hair is just over the ears, slightly fat, and from the facial features, it is not at all like Nan Zhiyi, and it is not beautiful. And Nan Huairen, the father of the Nan family, fully shows the strength of paternal genes.

He has a gray beard, wears glasses, and is fatter than the two brothers Nanzhijun and Nanzhiyi, but his facial features are really carved out of the same mold.

It seems that he should be quite handsome when he is young.

The Nan family pays attention to food and does not say anything, and Nan Zhiyi, who is usually restless and talkative, has also changed to a person, sitting upright, not squinting, and eating quickly and in small bites.

And Ling Li tried her best to reduce the sound of chopsticks hitting the dishes, but fortunately, she was not a person with an anxious personality, and she could chew slowly when eating, so she could barely cope with it.

There are more than a dozen dishes on the table, and the taste is also from all over the world, and there are all kinds of cuisines. In Nan's father's words, he didn't know what Ling Li liked to eat, so he told Cao's mother to make more.

When he said this, he smiled very gently, which made Ling Li's anxiety about being driven ducks on the shelves to see his parents be eliminated by most of them.

However, even with Nan's father's gentle words, which came from Nan's mother's aura of not being angry and arrogant, it still made Ling Li more and more nervous.

This made Ling Li a little unappreciative.

Actually, Cao's mother's craftsmanship is very good, and the taste of these dishes is not bad - in Ling Li's eyes, it is quite delicious, and it is no wonder that Nan Zhiyi's food tastes picky.

But Gan Woyu's gaze on her from time to time with a little scrutiny still made Ling Li a little timid.

And, the feeling is familiar.

It took her a while to react, and it seemed that Nan Zhijun had also looked at her like this-just like the bottomless martial arts alliance master swept over with a light glance, and the budding disciples of a certain sect felt the embarrassment of being seen through the nineteenth generation of their ancestors.

"People don't talk much" - this is Ling Li's first impression of Ganwo language.

was worried about when this meeting would end, Nan Zhiyi suddenly turned his head to the side, and quickly threw a wink at the stunned Ling Li, making her almost squirt a mouthful of soup out of her mouth.

It's easy to endure without losing her temper, Ling Li's face is flushed.

Suddenly hearing the sound of the bottom of the bowl touching the tabletop, Ling Li looked up and saw Gan Woyu put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and said, "I've eaten well, you eat slowly." ”

After she finished saying this, her head turned slightly towards Ling Li, and her voice was a little softer: "Xiao Li eat well, don't be nervous." ”

Gan Woyu got off the table, Ling Li was not so nervous, and finally finished the meal without any danger.

After eating, she consciously helped Cao's mother clean up the table and clean up the kitchen.

Cao's mother kept saying that she didn't need her to do it, let Cao's mother come, Ling Li insisted on refusing, and she must finish it.

Let's not talk about whether it is polite or not, she is used to doing these jobs at home, especially during the time at her uncle's house, she washed most of the dishes and chopsticks in the small restaurant.

Cao's mother saw that she couldn't resist her, so she let her go, and she kept praising Ling Li's quick hands and feet.

Gan Woyu happened to go into the kitchen to pour water, and saw Ling Li rinsing a dish under the faucet, pushed his sliding eyes, and said in a rigorous voice: "Yes, from the perspective of fluid physics, this way you wash dishes is basically the most water-efficient and effective." ”

Ling Li was shocked to realize that there was a person behind her, and her scalp was numb with fright.

And Ganwo's words of praise for her also made her uncontrollable embarrassed, and said timidly: "I didn't think about it so much." ”

"Without theory, instinct is formed, which is more valuable, more capable than Jinran." Gan Wo replied, and went out with the cup again, leaving Ling Li messy in the wind.

Nan Zhiyi poked in from the kitchen door with a gloating head: "I told you not to earn to show that you didn't listen, you know how powerful my mother is, right?" ”

Ling Li finished what she was doing with trepidation, and hurriedly fled from the battlefield, afraid that Nan Huairen would come to patrol the field again and analyze her washing dishes from the perspective of big data.

The ordeal didn't end there, though.

When meeting at other people's homes, the dinner table basically finishes asking questions, and when it is placed at Nan's house, it starts after dinner.

In Nan's study, Ling Li, who was sitting side by side with Nan Zhiyi, became nervous again.

It was just foreplay, and now, it's finally time to start the substantive cross-examination.

I don't know if Nan's parents will be prejudiced against her background and education?
