The rows of houses in the courtyard are neatly arranged, but most of them are dilapidated, and you can see that they are in disrepair.

Grass grew everywhere on the ground, green and secluded, covering the entire courtyard.

Only a path led to the gate and the nearest room.

The door of the house was wide open, and inside the door was a large living room, which was very clean, but there was only an offering table and a spiritual table, and next to the spiritual table, there were some blackened fruits and incense.

Apart from that, there was nothing else, empty, and unusually deserted.

Yue Shaoan looked at Gao Chong suspiciously.

Gao Chong shook his head and looked at Zhuo Yan.

Looking at Zhuo Yan again, he didn't mean to explain, after closing the door, he strode forward and said, "Please!" And he said no more.

Yue Shaoan nodded, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and walked into the hall.

At first, when I looked outside, I only felt that the hall was relatively empty, but now when I walked in, I found that the hall was unusually large, and the empty hall was open like a martial arts training ground at this time.

The more you look closely, the more strange it becomes.

Just when Yue Shao'an was in shock, Zhuo Yan stepped forward and said, "Yue Shao'an, please wait a moment, my mother is sick, and it is inconvenient to meet guests if I don't know the way, so I will go in and ask." Please forgive me, Mr. Yue! ”

"Hmmm! There you go! Yue Shaoan nodded.

Zhuo Yan turned around and walked towards an inner room.

Yue Shaoan turned his head violently, grabbed Gao Chong and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"This ......" Gao Chong smiled bitterly and said: "As you can see from the outside, Zhuo Yan's family used to be very rich, but the family was in the middle of the road, and by the time of his father's generation, it was already poor, and he sold a lot of furniture in the family, and when he came to Zhuo Yan, there was no income, if it wasn't for his mother's insistence that the ancestral property was not destroyed, this yard would have been sold by Zhuo Yan to his mother for medical treatment!" ”

"Oh!" Yue Shaoan nodded and sighed, "So that's the case-"

……

"Mr. Yue! Mother please! Zhuo Yan came out and said.

"Hmm!" Yue Shao'an snorted, and walked towards the inner room with Zhuo Yan and Gao Chong.

Enter the inner chamber.

The household utensils that greeted me were still a limited number of items, and there was nothing other than tables, stools, and beds.

On the wooden bed near the wall sat a woman, who looked to be about forty years of age, with a fair complexion and a delicate countenance, and a pair of eyes that shone with a glittering light.

The handsome face and high nose bridge indicate that she must have been a beautiful woman when she was young, but at this time her figure was unusually thin, her cheeks were slightly sunken, her face was slightly pale, and a pair of thin hands were stacked together at her knees, with a faint smile on her face.

After seeing Yue Shao'an come in, the woman got up slightly, looked at Yue Shao'an's face, and whispered with a little surprise: "Presumably this is Mr. Yue!" ”

Yue Shao'an nodded, and before he could speak, Gao Chong suddenly said: "Aunt Zhuo, are you asking knowingly, I often come, you have already known each other, then the remaining one is of course Mr. Yue!" ”

Aunt Zhuo smiled slightly and said, "Gao Chong, you kid dare to make fun of Auntie!" ”

"Aunt Zhuo, how dare I!" Gao Chong laughed.

Aunt Zhuo smiled lightly, turned her head, and said to Yue Shao'an: "Mr. Yue, please take a seat!" The humble house is shabby, slack, don't be surprised! ”

Yue Shao'an saw that Aunt Zhuo's words were decent, dignified and beautiful, and knew that she was speaking sincerely, and it was not a perfunctory greeting. In order to make Aunt Zhuo feel relieved, he grinned loudly and walked to the stool and sat down casually.

Stretching out his hand to beckon Gao Chong to put the fruit on the table, he picked up some at random and handed them to Zhuo Yan to clean. After that, he smiled and said: "Aunt Zhuo, you don't have to be polite, just treat me like a junior!" My name is Yue Shao'an, you can also call my name directly! ”

Aunt Zhuo heard this in the ears of Zhuo Yan's mother, and suddenly felt very surprised, Yue Shao'an was Zhuo Yan's husband, and he could have a relationship with his peers, and she knew the gentlemen of Jinghang Academy, each of them had an unusual status among the commoners, and this Mr. Yue actually had no shelf like this.

Aunt Zhuo hurriedly said: "Then how to make it, you are Zhuo Yan's husband, we should be equals!" ”

"Aunt Zhuo!" Yue Shaoan waved his hand and said, "I am their husband, that's their business." In your case, I am a junior, and you can treat me just like you do to juniors, don't be too polite! ”

At this time, Zhuo Yan happened to walk in with the washed fruit, and listened to Yue Shao'an's words word for word, and was moved in his heart, so he hurriedly brought the fruit over and said, "Mr. Yue, please use it!" ”

Yue Shaoan waved his hand and said, "I don't know how to be polite, Aunt Zhuo is here, how can you give it to me first!" Go and send it to your mother first! ”

Zhuo Yan looked at his mother, and then looked at Mr. Yue, and was even more grateful to Mr. Yue in his heart, when he was in the school, except for Gao Chong, everyone else looked down on him, originally he thought that Mr. Yue was also such a person, but he didn't expect Mr. Yue to treat himself so well.

Zhuo Yan's eyes were slightly red, he couldn't hold back the tears, turned around and walked to his mother's side and said, "Mother! You eat! ”

Zhuo Mu touched his forehead dotingly and said, "Let's put it first!" ”

He turned to Yue Shao'an and said, "Mr. Yue hasn't eaten yet, has he?" ”

Yue Shaoan frowned and said: "Auntie, didn't I say it, it's good when I'm a junior, don't call me Mr., it sounds awkward." You can call me Shao'an! ”

Aunt Zhuo still wanted to say something, but looking at Yue Shao'an's insistent eyes, she sighed slightly, and said in her heart, okay!

Then, he said with a smile: "Shao, Shao'an!" You haven't eaten yet, have you? ”

Gao Chong smiled: "Eat-"

Yue Shao'an glared at him angrily and said, "The child is going, the adult is talking, what is the intervention!" ”

Gao Chongzhi turned his head and pursed his lips, and went to talk to Zhuo Yan.

After Yue Shao'an left Gao Chong, he did not directly answer Aunt Zhuo's words, but asked rhetorically: "Auntie, have you eaten?" ”

Aunt Zhuo smiled and said, "I've eaten, you haven't eaten, I'll cook for you!" ”

Yue Shao'an observed Aunt Zhuo's complexion and found that her illness was actually not very serious, and although her body wasting was related to her condition, it seemed to be caused by malnutrition.

After carefully observing, Yue Shaoxin had a plan, and said with a smile: "Auntie, we haven't eaten!" ”

After listening to Yue Shao'an's words, Aunt Zhuo also smiled, but said with a guilty face: "Okay! Then I'll cook! Shao'an, it's just that the food is simple, don't dislike it! ”

Yue Shao'an thought of this kind of link when he looked at his expression before, although Aunt Zhuo really wanted to keep herself to eat, but her family was poor and there was no good food, so she had this question in her heart, otherwise! Why ask them if they have eaten, just do it.

Yue Shao'an, who knew the truth, how could he embarrass the eldest mother, so he raised his hand and motioned to Aunt Zhuo, who was just about to get up, to sit down, and then said, "Auntie, to be honest, I came here specifically to borrow the kitchen from you this time." I have long been sick to my stomach when I eat the food in the cafeteria in the academy every day, and I have long wanted to eat a meal that I made myself, but there are no kitchen utensils in my residence. I'm here today, and I'm going to show off my skills! Don't stop me, I'll let you taste my craft later! ”

After saying that, Yue Shaoan stood up.

Zhuo Yan and Gao Chong had already left the inner room, and they didn't know what they were talking about in the hall, so Yue Shao'an went straight out and looked for them.

Aunt Zhuo wanted to stop it, but when she saw Yue Shao'an's serious appearance, she smiled and shook her head and didn't say anything more.

Gao Chong and Zhuo Yan were talking and laughing until they were happy, when they suddenly saw Xing coming, they hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Yue, are you going to leave here?" ”

"What are you going to do?" Yue Shaoan hugged the necks of the two and said, "I haven't eaten yet, how can I go!" ”

"Eat?" Gao Chong exclaimed: "Haven't you eaten it?" ”

Mr. Yue glared at him and said, "You talk a lot!" As he spoke, he put his arms around the two and walked out.

"Mr. Yue, how can you go out for dinner?" Zhuo Yan wondered.

"Buy the ingredients!" Mr. Yue agreed, then turned back to the inner room and said, "Auntie, let's take these two boys to buy ingredients, and we'll be back later, you can sit down for a while!" ”

In the inner room, hearing the eldest mother's promise, Yue Shaoan let the two go.
