Uncle Liu walked in front and knocked on the door in front of the main house, and a thin old man came out of it. Compared with Master Zou, he has less of that kind of wealth and luxury, and more of a very connotative bookish atmosphere, as well as the same pure and pure folk customs here.

"Daddy." Duan Shaoling shouted from afar.

Chen Zui also stepped forward to say hello: "Hello Uncle Duan, I haven't seen you for a long time, and my body looks a lot clearer." ”

"Dad, let me introduce you, these three are my classmates and Chen Zui, who came to our town to play for a few days."

"Uncle Duan is good." The three of them said in unison.

Master Duan smiled and nodded, and kept looking at them, looking at them a little fascinated. The three girls were a little shy, but they didn't feel uncomfortable at all, because his eyes were as righteous as his people, and he admired them as if he were admiring a few famous paintings.

"Dad, why do you look at people like this, they are all girls, they will be shy."

"Hahaha, that's right, there are such rare girls with a refined temperament in a military school."

The three girls were praised and lowered their heads with a little blush, "Uncle Duan has won the award, I don't dare to take it." ”

"When you come here, think of it as your home. The wings on both sides are empty, Shaoling, you go and arrange their accommodation, and then have dinner together in a while, Chen is drunk, you can also have dinner before leaving. After Mr. Duan finished speaking, he went back to the room first.

Li Chengjing and Leng Chuxian saw that Master Duan was talkative and natural, which was much more comfortable than the rich and noble atmosphere of a businessman on Master Zou, and they didn't dare to say anything because Zou Bao'er was here.

"Do you three want to live on the left or right?"

Leng Chuxian said: "Is there any room with two beds, just three people can have a room, we don't want one person to sleep in a separate room." ”

Duan Shaoling thought about it, called Uncle Liu, and asked him to arrange it, see which room can put two beds, and clean it by the way. Uncle Liu thought about it and took them to the wing room next to the main entrance, where Chen Zui and Duan Shaoling helped them with their luggage in the back.

Uncle Liu took them into the rightmost wing, the space inside was quite large, but there was only one bed inside. Uncle Liu asked them to put down their luggage first, and he immediately ordered someone to set up another bed, clean it up, and when they had dinner, they could almost come in and rest.

Duan Shaoling nodded and took them out first.

Walking outside, Zou Bao'er suddenly sighed, "If I hadn't come, you would have just two people in a room, and you wouldn't have to be so troublesome as now." ”

Leng Chu was envious that she would say such an outrageous thing, and Li Chengjing, who just wanted to scold her, quickly pulled her sleeve and signaled her not to say more.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh." Li Chengjing let out a low coughing sound, and the sound spread in the direction of Duan Shaoling.

Since Zou Bao'er recovered from his injury, it seems that he no longer takes the initiative towards Duan Shaoling, and the two will only talk together when everyone is there, and no one has found out that they have communicated alone, of course, including the fact that the two have never been to church together. But no one believes that Zou Bao'er really doesn't like Duan Shaoling, just like they don't believe that Leng Chuxian no longer likes Chen Zui. Zou Bao'er no longer took the initiative to take Duan Shaoling to church, most of it was out of her selfishness, she didn't want too much contact between Duan Shaoling and Xue Qingning.

Zou Bao'er didn't take him there, Duan Shaoling never went to the church again, and never mentioned Xue Qingning in front of anyone. Everyone thought again, it seems that Duan Shaoling's affection for Xue Qingning should only be between friends, if he really likes Xue Qingning and knows the way to the church, wouldn't he run to see her by himself? Feelings are selfish, since he doesn't like Zou Baoer, he will never ignore his feelings because he cares about her face.

It is impossible to say that Zou Bao'er let go of Duan Shaoling, and I don't know if she knows how to follow fate and not force it like Leng Chuxian, or if she understands that it is useless to blindly take the initiative for people like Duan Shaoling, so she chooses another way to overcome his mental defense.

This time when she came to Pingle Town, it seemed that Li Chengjing and Leng Chuxian asked her to come together. Chen Zui didn't have much friendship with her, and Duan Shaoling, as the host, had never officially invited her. Zou Baoer always felt in her heart that Duan Shaoling had no intention of wanting her to come, but she didn't even have a chance to refuse because of the other two girls' face.

Seeing that the subordinates of the Duan Mansion had increased their workload for no reason because of their arrival, they felt even more that if they didn't come, they would probably save a lot of trouble now.

When Zou Bao'er spoke, Duan Shaoling still heard the sound of her words, and Li Chengjing pretended to prompt again. Duan Shaoling walked in front of Zou Bao'er, "Bao'er, don't say that, you are my best friends at school like Cheng Jing and Chu Xian, of course I'm very happy that you can come together, but just make up an extra bed, how can it be troublesome." ”

Duan Shaoling said sincerely, although Zou Baoer was relieved in her heart, but after all, she was only as important a friend as them, and she couldn't help but have a trace of loss crossed by a meteor. But in general, he welcomed himself the same, and he was still a little happy in the end, and for a while, his thoughts were like dipping sauces in a pot.

Zou Bao'er didn't want to worry about this matter anymore, so she hurriedly pointed to the front, "What's behind the two halls?" I want to check it out. Without waiting for Duan Shaoling to explain, he strode forward.

They followed her through the hall on the left. But behind the hall is a verandah, and in the middle of it extends an attic, like a gazebo towering in the air. They ascended from the wooden ladders on either side of the loft, and in the middle of the loft lay a wooden table surrounded by several wooden benches, surrounded by pavilion-like benches.

They sat on the benches, and the sunlight shone obliquely on them through the copper-colored wooden pillars, and they suddenly felt a sense of laziness, and they wanted to lie down on the bench and sleep.

The bottom of the pavilion can accommodate three people to walk at the same time, and the open space in front of the pavilion is planted with long plants, even in such a cold weather, not all of them wither, and you can imagine how vigorous and vigorous it is in summer. There was a flower door in front, and Duan Shaoling said that a little place in the back was a warehouse, and the kitchen and the place where people lived, so they wouldn't go down to find out.

Sitting here, you can get a glimpse of the whole Duan family, the houses and B&Bs on the street, and the sunset slowly and obliquely sinking into the gorgeous and colorful sunset, which is simple and fragrant, and picturesque.

"Shaoling, do you usually eat in this pavilion?" Li Chengjing asked.

"yes."

"I'm still wondering if you don't even have a shade in front of you."

Duan Shaoling smiled, "That's just sitting occasionally." ”

Leng Chuxian also said: "Compared with the same living room, eating here is really comfortable, and your appetite will be three points better." ”

A high-pitched voice came up from behind, "Haha, the girl has a good appetite, I'll eat more in a while." "Master Duan walked up from below, originally they were sitting or reclining, but now they all stood up, "Uncle Duan." ”

"Sit down, you're welcome, this is a small place, and there are not as many rules as in your city."

Having said that, they still stood aside, and it wasn't until Master Duan sat down first that Duan Shaoling pulled them to sit down together. As soon as I sat down, there was a sound of footsteps on the verandah, and when I looked back, it was people who were serving.

Master Duan was puzzled: "Shaoling, when you left home, you said that you and Chen Zui studied in the infantry department, and your infantry department also accepts girls?" These delicate girls don't look like them. ”

Li Chengjing said: "It's the two of them who are delicate, Uncle Duan doesn't count me in." Li Chengjing has been training in the military academy for so long, but her complexion is not very dark alone, and she is still whiter than other boys, but standing with the two of them is not as good as them. The skin texture is not rough, except for some small scars on the palms and slight calluses, there are no blemishes everywhere.

Duan Shaoling explained: "Cheng Jing is our classmate, these two are her roommates, one is studying foreign languages and the other is studying nurses. ”

Master Duan smiled, "Then it seems that the three girls have their own strengths." ”

Chen Zui said: "The old man is right, the three of them are the best girls in our school. ”

"And who is your crush?" Old Man Duan looked at Chen Zui with his eyebrows half-closed.

"When you first entered the door, you didn't say anything, but everyone was tired, only you were in good spirits, and the hall was shining red."

Chen Zui explained aggrievedly: "Cheng Jing is because she is tired of driving, and the three of them have slept in the back for too long, and I sit in the co-pilot to guide Cheng Jing, and I don't feel how hard it is." ”

"Then don't guess, Miss Chengjing is your sweetheart. Am I right?"

The atmosphere was slightly embarrassed, and they secretly said that Master Duan was really powerful, and it could be seen from just a few words.

"Uncle is still so powerful, you guessed it." Chen Zui admitted very freely.

Li Chengjing said: "Uncle is so powerful, please guess if your baby son has a sweetheart." ”

Master Duan looked at his son and shook his head slowly, "I still know what my own son is thinking, he estimates that he hasn't opened up in this area yet, so how can he have a sweetheart." ”

"I don't know if Shaoling can open his mind, but it's true that there are girls who like him." Li Chengjing felt a pair of feet rubbing her knees on the other side, but Li Chengjing did not react.

"No matter what, the girl who likes him won't be as drunk as Chen."

Zou Bao'er didn't want to hear them say this anymore, so she interjected: "Uncle Duan, we all think that the design of your house is very chic, did you build this house single-handedly?" ”

Master Duan said that he studied in Beiping when he was young, and he lived in a courtyard house in Beiping at that time. Later, he started a timber business, and it was smooth sailing, and he made a fortune within a few years. After a few years, after returning to his hometown, he missed the courtyard house he lived in Beiping, so he personally presided over the design and built such a house.

But what he built was still relatively simple, and the courtyard houses in Beiping, large and small, were much more cumbersome and complicated than the ones he built, and they were more than several times more magnificent than this.

After chatting again, they found that Master Duan was quite accomplished in all aspects of human geography and even literature, and he couldn't talk and listen to it inexhaustibly, and the more they talked, the more they rose, and unconsciously, the sky became darker and darker.
