Xiao Ce was listening to Xiao Ping's interrogation, quite impatient.

"Oops~ Can you stop asking, I have nothing to do with her!"

Xiao Ping glared at him angrily, turned his head to Xiaolian and smiled again, but he didn't ask any more, just because the children were embarrassed.

Several people sat down around the table, and after a while, little maids began to serve dishes one after another.

After driving for so many days, although Ami didn't starve, she never had such a big table of dishes in front of her.

In addition, after getting out of the car, she was really tired, and she hadn't eaten after resting for so long, and looking at these dishes at this time, she had a great appetite.

Xiao Ping looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Yu'er, Xiaolian, you don't have to be polite, we are all from the rivers and lakes, and we don't have so many rules, just be in our own home." ”

Ami nodded with some urgency, and finally reached for the food on the table.

Aunt Qin picked up the chopsticks and added vegetables to Xiao Ping, and Xiaolian also followed Aunt Qin's example, and took the vegetables and handed them to Xiao Ce's bowl.

Xiao Ce frowned, looking disgusted, but he didn't refuse.

Xiao Yan looked at the few of them, chewing slowly, with a melty smile on his face.

Snow was blowing outside, the wind was blowing, but inside the house, it was warm.

Ami doesn't remember how long it had been since she had eaten like this, as if there had never been such a scene in her memory for the past twenty years, and now, through the other world, through someone else's body, she was able to experience such a joyful experience.

I don't know if it's gratifying or sad.

While eating, a few people chatted with each other, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Xiao Ping raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Ce, looking a little hesitant, "Ce'er, let's spend the New Year at home this year, Yu'er and Xiaolian finally came here, so don't go." ”

Ami was a little startled, raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Ce, but saw that his face was a little unkind, and she was not ready to deal with Xiao Ping.

At this time, where else can Xiao Ce go when he is not at home?

Moreover, isn't it normal to spend the New Year at home, why did Uncle Xiao say that?

Ami didn't think much about it, after all, it was someone else's family matter, and she couldn't interfere.

Xiaolian also looked up at Xiao Ce with some curiosity, and wanted to say something, but it could be seen that the rest of the people were silent, so she had to lower her head and pretend not to hear.

Xiao Ping seemed to expect that Xiao Ce would not care, and he was not annoyed, "Ce'er, you haven't spent the New Year at home for a long time, this time it's rare for people to be so ......"

When Xiao Ce heard this, he slammed down the bowl and sneered, "Father, take a closer look, are there really all the people?" ”

Hearing him say this, the faces of everyone present changed.

Xiao Ping's face was a little ugly, but he didn't say anything more.

Ami only noticed at this time that Aunt Qin was Xiao Yan's mother, but Xiao Ce's mother, she had never seen her after staying for so long.

It's a backyard thing.

Ami thought about it, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and smiled lightly, "Uncle Xiao, Aunt Qin, Yu'er has eaten, go back and rest first." ”

As he spoke, he secretly kicked Xiaolian under the table.

Xiaolian reacted and immediately stood up.

When Xiao Ping heard Ami's words, he also stood up, his expression softened, "Okay, okay, you go and rest first, if there is anything, just tell your subordinates." ”

Ami bowed her head slightly, then left the table with Xiaolian and walked out the door.

When I opened the door, the cold wind outside rushed into the house, and the snowflakes were rolled up on my face, turning into water in an instant, and I felt a little chilly.

She wrapped her hair around her body and walked out quickly.

After walking for a distance, he suddenly heard a crisp sound of broken bowls from the dining hall, followed by Xiao Ce's angry shouting.

"Family? Who is the family with whom? Shall I keep it for your family? ”

"Oh~ Ce'er, if you're willing to stay, of course it's a good thing, how can you add to the blockage?" It's Aunt Qin.

"Let's go! Let him go! Don't stand in the way! ”

"Master, Ce'er hasn't spent the New Year at home for so many years, and there is already a lot of gossip outside......"

"Yes, it's not good to spread your Aunt Qin's reputation, right?"

"No...... No, Ce'er......"

Ami shook her head, sighed, and continued walking towards the wing.

I thought that there would be more people coming over to join in the fun, so as not to look lonely, but I didn't expect that the Xiao family was also a difficult scripture to read, but I don't know why Xiao Ce was so hostile to Xiao Ping and Aunt Qin.

Xiaolian glanced back a few times, her expression was a little worried, but she had to follow back to the wing room first.

Winter nights are always exceptionally cold.

As soon as Ami returned to the wing, she quickly packed up and lay down.

Xiaolian watched Ami fall asleep, quietly opened the door and walked out.

The night was as deep as a cold pool, and the snow was still falling, so she rubbed her hands together and walked out with a little concern.

Not far from the wing, there was a small lake, and Xiaolian walked and walked to that vicinity.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of something falling to the ground not far away, she came back to her senses, followed the sound, and saw Xiao Ce sitting by the lake, with many empty wine bottles poured beside him.

She hurriedly ran over and squatted down beside Xiao Ce, a little anxious, "Brother Xiao Ce, why are you here?" ”

Xiao Ce saw that it was her, and he didn't say anything, and drank by himself.

Xiaolian knew that he was in a bad mood, so she didn't say anything more, and sat quietly next to him.

After a long while, Xiaolian spoke softly, "Brother Xiao Ce, do you know, in fact, my father and mother left me when I was very young, and for more than ten years, I have been wandering, living on the charity of well-wishers, and I really have no choice, so I will steal." ”

"Sometimes when I was caught, they would beat me up, and many times I felt like I was going to be unable to survive."

As she spoke, she smiled, "It wasn't until later that I met Sister Ami. ”

She turned her head to look at Xiao Ce, "At least, you're luckier than me." ”

At this time, Xiao Ce was already a little drunk, looked at Xiaolian with a confused look, was stunned for a long time, and suddenly smiled, and in that smile, it was full of desolation and helplessness.

"You don't understand."

As he spoke, he turned his head again and picked up the bottle.

Xiaolian looked at his side face and propped up her chin, "Okay, I don't understand, then you tell me that I don't understand." ”

Xiao Ce shook his head and ignored her.

Xiaolian didn't ask any more, just sat next to her.

After a long time, she didn't feel a little cold, she rubbed her hands, shrunk her body, and her voice trembled a little, "Brother Xiao Ce, it's so cold, I'm ...... I'll send you back. ”

She waited for a while, but there was no movement around her, and when she turned her head to look, she found that Xiao Ce was already drunk.

She hurriedly got up and grabbed Xiao Ce's arm on her shoulder.

She looked around, but she didn't see anyone, so she had to hold him and walk forward first.

After walking for a long time, I found someone and asked Xiao Ce's residence.

After Xiaolian put him on the bed and lay down, she was already sweating profusely.

She tucked the corners of the quilt for Xiao Ce, and was about to turn around, but her wrist was suddenly held, and when she turned her head, she heard Xiao Ce muttering softly.

"Mother's ......"

Xiaolian was stunned, only to feel that her face was a little hot, she touched her cheek with her other hand, and reached out to try to pull away Xiao Ce's hand, but after picking it for a long time, that hand didn't move at all.

She sighed and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Looking at Xiao Ce's eyebrows, she felt a sweet feeling in her heart, and she laughed unconsciously.

When he sent Xiao Ce back, he was sweating, but at this time he calmed down, and the cold wind that seemed to be like nothing poured in and blew on his body, and he couldn't help but shiver.

Xiaolian trembled and wanted to pull her hand out, but found that she couldn't use her strength, her whole body was soft, and her brain was a little dizzy.

Things in front of her became more and more blurry, and as soon as her head sank, she lay on the edge of the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
