"Xiyan, what are you polite to me, you and Zhibai have been miserable since childhood, both of you are now fatherless and motherless, no matter how busy Baishan Academy is, I have to give Zhibai a month's vacation, otherwise who will take care of you and the child!" Xu Yan looked at Yun Zhibai and Xiyan, these two children were indeed ill-fated, but fortunately they all came over now, seeing Yun Zhibai and Xiyan's faces a little sad, he quickly said, "Zhibai, Xiyan, don't be too sad for the two of you, this person, although you have your own lives, maybe the bad luck of the first half of your lives has been used up, this gave birth to Xi'er, and it will be a good life in the future, Zhibai, don't be discouraged, in the future, God will definitely favor you." ”

Xu Yan patted Yun Zhibai's shoulder and silently cheered him up, Yun Zhibai smiled at Xu Yan and said, "Dean Xu is right, in the future, Xiyan and I will have a good life, thank you Dean Xu for your concern." Seeing Xu Yan say this, the rest of the old gentlemen also comforted Yun Zhibai and Xiyan, and Yun Zhibai also thanked several old gentlemen, these old gentlemen still maintained a neutral attitude in Baishan Academy, of course, those gentlemen who targeted Yun Zhibai naturally did not come to congratulate, and Yun Zhibai did not blame them, after all, people die for money, birds die for food, and they can understand.

The grandmothers in the kitchen heard the sound outside the courtyard, and when Yun Zhibai welcomed these guests into the courtyard, they secretly probed out and counted the number of people, and then sped up, she said to Yang Sanlang and the rest, "I looked, Dean Xu of Baishan Academy is also here, and there are three old gentlemen, let's prepare six breakfasts, Mr. Yun and Xi Niang have two servings, and prepare them together for them to eat, wait for more guests, Mr. Yun and Xi Niang will not have time to greet the guests, Shen Luo, you bring the tray." ”

Shen Luo heard Aunt Gongsun's words, and hurriedly brought three trays, Aunt Gongsun put two breakfasts in each tray, namely a bowl of soup cakes, a bowl of rice porridge, a bowl of mixed noodles, and a fragrant sesame cake made by Zhao Dalang.

Yun Zhibai heard the knock on the door, hurriedly got up and opened the door, and when he saw Yang Sanlang and them coming in with food, he hurriedly took the tray and put it on the generous table in the main hall, and then took the food out of the tray and put it in front of Xu Yan and the old gentlemen.

"Yang Sanlang, Shen Luo, Chu Yue, you guys have really worked hard today, Aunt Gongsun and Zhao Dalang are still busy, you can also sit down and eat, you haven't eaten all morning." Waiting for Yang Sanlang and them to take out all the food and put it on the generous table, Yun Zhibai looked at the food with all the color and flavor, and remembered that his neighbors came over early in the morning, and it must be very hard to make these foods.

"Mr. Yun, we took six portions of food, you and Xi Niang eat together, wait for more guests, you will be hungry just by greeting, then we will go out first, Chu Yue, you are here to help take care of the children." Yang Sanlang nodded humbly at Xu Yan and several old gentlemen, smiled, and Shen Luo also smiled lightly at several gentlemen, and then the two of them walked out of the house with a tray.

Chu Yue took Yun Jinxi in Xiyan's hand, and motioned Xiyan to go to the square table to eat breakfast, Xiyan saw Xu Yan and Yun Zhibai calling her, and saw that she couldn't shirk it, so she could only sit on the table and eat breakfast with everyone.

"Zhibai, these are the neighbors who live next to you, I've heard you talk about it before, no wonder you are reluctant to move out, I see that these neighbors are very enthusiastic and enthusiastic, and your neighbor's cooking skills are also quite good." Xu Yan ate breakfast and praised again and again, and the rest of the gentlemen also gave thumbs up, "This sesame cake tastes really good." "Wow, this dumpling is just right, not hard or soft, and the chewiness is just right." "No one praises this soup cake, this soup cake is really delicious, this porridge is also good, the consistency is just right, the fragrance is very strong, and it is also mixed with a little millet, embellishing this monotonous rice porridge, which is really good!"

Everyone finished their breakfast in the praise, Chu Yue hugged the child, heard the praise of everyone, and was very happy, and when he went to the kitchen to talk to Aunt Gongsun and Zhao Dalang, it is estimated that the two of them are even happier, the person who cooks is like this, seeing the people who eat is happy and refreshing, they are naturally more motivated to be cooks.

Xiyan hurriedly finished eating breakfast, hurriedly got off the table and took the child in Chu Yue's hand, and whispered to Chu Yue's ear, "Chu Xiaoniang, you go to the kitchen to have some breakfast with everyone, don't be hungry for everyone, how can you work on an empty stomach, Zhibai and I can't help it, it's cold outside, it's inconvenient for me to go out with the child, Zhibai is here to greet guests, you go to the kitchen for me to thank everyone, and talk to the two chefs, their cooking skills are really amazing!" ”

Xiyan looked at Chu Yue with a grateful face, and gave a thumbs up again, Chu Yue hurriedly waved his hand and whispered back in Xiyan's ear, "You and Mr. Yun, it's not a family, you don't enter a family, it's all so polite, haha, okay, I'll go to the kitchen to help you convey your gratitude, I asked the Gongsun ladies to eat a little more, don't eat now, wait for more guests, and really don't have time to eat." After Chu Yue finished speaking, he waved his hand at Xiyan and walked out of the main hall towards the kitchen.

"Let me tell you a good news, Gongsun Auntie's cooking skills and Zhao Dalang's sesame Hu cakes are highly praised by the guests, those old gentlemen, they will eat and praise, less than a while, they will eat all the fine, by the way, Xi Niang also specially asked me to thank you, so that we can eat some breakfast now, and it will be too late to wait for more guests." Yang Sanlang heard Chu Yue say that the guests had finished eating, so he hurriedly packed the pastries and dried fruits in the fruit bowl, and walked towards the main hall with the tray and fruit plate, he put the leftover food of the guests on the square table and took it out on the tray, and put the fruit plate on the square table, and the guests could eat pastries and dried fruits while drinking tea.

When Yang Sanlang walked to the kitchen, these neighbors gathered together, the grandmothers began to eat breakfast, which was busy for a while, and they were hungry, and several people gobbled up breakfast, and began to get busy again.

The sky gradually brightened, Xu Yan and the old gentlemen drank tea in the main hall, Yun Zhibai walked to the courtyard to greet the guests, the old Mr. Wen and Zhu Butcher came together, Yun Zhibai walked to the gate of the courtyard, Wen Lao and Zhu Butcher directly congratulated, "Congratulations to Mr. Yun, happy little padded jacket." "Thank you, you two came all the way here, hurry up and sit in the house, you can come, why are you taking so many things!" Yun Zhibai hurriedly introduced Zhu Butcher and Wen Lao into the courtyard, and Zhu Butcher and Wen Lao stuffed the things in their hands to Yun Zhibai.

"The pork that was freshly killed in the morning is very fresh, and it is reserved for the noon feast." Zhu Butcher looked at Yun Zhibai with a smile, he got up very early today, and deliberately went to the pigsty to choose the fattest pig, and selected the best pork and offal, tied it up and brought it to Mr. Yun, Wen Lao also carefully picked a few postpartum recovery tonics and handed them to Yun Zhibai, "These few medicines, give them to Xi Niang to eat, consolidate and consolidate the previous medicinal effect." ”

After Yun Zhibai invited Zhu Butcher and Wen Lao into the main hall, he hurriedly walked into the kitchen with pork and Chinese medicine, handed over the pork to Aunt Gongsun, and put the Chinese medicine in the cabinet, he was embarrassed to arch his hand to everyone, "Everyone, have you eaten breakfast, I can't stay here to help you, I have to go and greet the guests first, today is really hard for everyone." ”

"Mr. Yun, go quickly, we are here, you can rest assured, Yang Sanlang, you and Mr. Yun will bring breakfast in." Yang Sanlang prepared two servings of food, and walked into the main hall with Yun Zhibai, Yang Sanlang sent it in and went out of the house, Yun Zhibai walked into the main hall, and introduced Xu Yan and a few gentlemen to Zhu Butcher and Wen Lao, everyone greeted for a while, and then chatted again, Wen Lao and Zhu Butcher saw the child, so they stuffed the red envelope into the child, this full moon banquet, the red envelope was given only when the child was seen.

A lot of guests came one after another, at dawn, Yun Zhibai finally ushered in Xiyan's grandfather and grandmother, Xiyan's uncle and uncle also came, they came by sedan chair, because they lived far away from here, so it was a little late, but they came after dawn, indicating that they left home very early, the sedan chair stopped on the road outside, and the group walked along the path.

It was dawn, and the morning sun was also sprinkled in the big courtyard, Xiyan heard Yun Zhibai say that her grandfather and grandmother had arrived, and hurriedly hugged the child and went out to greet her, although she said that she resented them in her heart, but because she was a junior, she still had to go out to greet her, no matter what, grandfather and grandmother were still elders. Xiyan saw his grandfather and grandmother, who had not seen him for several years, their backs were slightly hunched, and the breeze blew, blowing the white hair on their heads messily.

Grandfather and grandmother have no majesty in her memory at all, and now they are just two old men with snowy sideburns and frosty mustaches, too, she has also become a mother from a little girl, can grandfather and grandmother not grow old? When the grandmother saw Xiyan holding the child, she trembled and hurriedly greeted her, took Xiyan's hand, and called Yan'er.

Xiyan answered, grandmother looked at the child in Xiyan's arms again, the wrinkles on her face unfolded like a flower, she looked at Xiyan with inquiring eyes, Xiyan hurriedly handed the child in her arms to her grandmother, grandmother held the child, looked at the child happily, the child looked at the old man in front of her, and did not cry, but grinned happily, Xiyan couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it turned out that blood, really nothing can be erased.

"Yan'er, time flies so fast, the last time you came here was when you got married, this time you have a child, this child looks good, looks like you, but it is really delightful and cute." As she spoke, the grandmother took out a jewelry box from her bosom, opened it, took out a gold bracelet inside, and put it on the child's little wrist.

"It's too valuable, I can't take this." Xiyan saw such a heavy gold bracelet, which can cost a lot of silver to build, the grandfather standing on the side saw Xiyan excuse himself, coughed slightly and said, "The gift that great-grandfather and great-grandmother gave to the child, no matter how valuable it is, Yan'er, you can accept it, this child has a hard life, there is no grandfather and grandmother to love her, this bracelet can be regarded as representing our guilt, you just accept it, don't accept it, your grandmother can't sleep all day long, since the day she received your letter, your grandmother has been looking for good goldsmiths everywhere, I found a good one after looking for many homes, and if you don't accept it, won't it make her lose and sad. ”
