The old lady was very dissatisfied with her son's answer, and shook her head: "What is this called?" Go and call them out, and today there are distinguished guests, and I will introduce you to you. ”

The boss hurriedly turned around and went into the house, and after a while he led a string of girls out.

They were all little girls, the oldest of whom was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and the youngest of whom was only five or six years old. The old lady smiled and said that the eldest ones were her daughters, and the younger ones were her granddaughters, and they were all about the same generation.

As soon as they came out, they were all happy: "Mom, are you back?" What to buy? ”

When the old lady heard this, she smiled and pointed to the basket in Ao Yu's hand: "Look! It's something you've always wanted to eat, I'll cook it in a while, and today Yu'er is here, and we'll eat it together as a family. ”

When the children heard this, they all looked at the basket in Ao Yu's hand.

But they soon noticed that the people carrying the baskets all showed puzzled expressions and asked, "Mom, who is this young man?" Why haven't you seen it? ”

"Him?"

The old lady turned her head and looked at Ao Yu with a smile: "You don't know him, he is Xiaoqian's son, called Ao Yu, you can just call him Ah Yu or Yu'er." ”

"Akane's son?"

When several people heard this, they all showed a puzzled expression but couldn't say anything wrong: "Ao Yu? Why does this feel weird? ”

"What do you say?"

The old lady showed an unhappy look when she heard this: "Yu'er finally came once, what is your expression?" Yu'er will stay in our house for a few days, you are not allowed to bully him! ”

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

A few people hurriedly rounded: "There is a guest you like at home, and we are too late to be happy?" How could they bully him? No, no, no. ”

Others also hurriedly agreed: "That's it!" Hospitality! ”

The old lady was very dissatisfied with this statement, and said with a straight face: "I'll say it again, Yu'er is not a guest, his mother Xiaoqian is my daughter, he came to our house to go back to his own house, understand?" ”

When her children and grandchildren heard this, they all nodded as if they understood something.

followed by a different closeness to Ao Yu, in the eyes of outsiders and even Ao Yu himself, it was a kind of closeness that exuded family care.

Only I don't think so.

Secretly pulled Ao Ning: "Why are there so many people in Ao Yu's grandmother's house?" Do you know his grandmother? Have you seen it before? ”

Ao Ning shook his head: "I don't know! We are not born by the same mother, and the attitude of the family towards the two of us is different, I have been practicing and guarding the mountain since I was a child, or I was locked up at home by the teacher to study, and I have never even gone down the mountain, how can I know the people of Ao Yu's grandmother's family? ”

As soon as I listened, okay.

"But I know one thing,"

Ao Ning said: "Ao Yu's mother is his grandmother's youngest daughter and his grandmother's favorite child. His mother has passed away, and I wonder if the family will be reunited here. ”

"Are you stupid?"

Xie Sifei on the side couldn't help but lower his voice and complained to him: "When people die, they will go to the Netherworld, what kind of place is this, how can they meet here?" ”

Ao Ning nodded again and again, he was confused.

"What are you boys talking about?"

Suddenly, the old lady's voice came from the door: "Aren't you tired standing outside?" Why don't you come in yet? ”

Ao Yu also stood at the door with a basket: "Come in, it's all at the door, you're welcome." ”

You're welcome!

As soon as Xie Sifei heard this, he swaggered behind Ao Yu and went in. I, Jiang Sichen, Xie Sifei and his entourage, also followed closely and entered the courtyard full of dog's tail flowers.

This yard is really big, and it is said that the three in and three out are small.

In the middle of the courtyard is a large lobby that is estimated to accommodate hundreds of people. Before, I didn't understand how this Ao Yu's grandmother, an old man, lived in such a big yard, but when I saw so many people in their family, I immediately understood.

Entering the lobby, Ao Yu was surrounded by them, all clamoring to see what was in the basket.

For a while, there was a lot of noise in the lobby, as if the water in the pot was boiling.

"Ahem, ahem!"

The old lady was very dignified, and only coughed lightly, and the hall fell silent, and even a needle could be heard falling on the ground. The old lady glanced around and asked, "What about your father?" Why didn't you see it? ”

The eldest son hurriedly pointed to a pillar: "Dad is there!" ”

Everyone looked over with his fingers, and saw a white-haired old man in a cotton and linen Tang costume squatting under a pillar at the entrance of the lobby, with his hands in his sleeves and an unhappy expression.

"What's wrong with him?"

The old lady was also quite unhappy when she saw the old man: "Yu'er came to the house today, why did he still look unhappy?" Isn't this a welcome Yu'er? ”

The eldest son hurriedly lowered his head and promised: "Yes, yes." Dad said you can bring someone to the house casually and don't say hello to him. ”

When the old lady heard this, her face softened.

She shouted to the other side of the pillar: "Old man, Yu'er is not an outsider. ”

"Humph!"

The old man was still unhappy: "What are you doing?" There is no shortage of people in our family. ”

In that way, how angry and angry you are, it seems that when Ao Yu comes to their house, he will eat their family poor. In short, Ao Yu, an uninvited guest, is very unwelcome.

As soon as the old lady heard what it was called, she ran over and reasoned with the old man.

"What's going on?"

I quietly pulled Ao Yu over: "Didn't you say that your grandfather likes you the most?" Why this expression? ”

"yes."

Ao Yu didn't understand: "My grandfather used to like me the most, and every time I went to my grandfather's house when I was a child, he would hug me and kiss me." I don't know what's wrong today, maybe we didn't tell him and made him angry, right? ”

I don't think so.

How can an elder, if he really likes his grandson, get angry over the trivial matter of not greeting them at home? Normally, not only will they not be angry, but they will be overjoyed.

Unless......

Thinking of this, I kept an eye on it.

On the other side, the old lady who was theorizing with the old man had already erupted, and she pointed to the old man's head and said, "Anyway, now that Yu'er has come, you give me some spirit and don't trouble him." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left, and after walking a few steps, he fell back: "Don't talk to him either." ”

"If you don't say it, you won't say it!"

The old man also seemed to have eaten gunpowder, and his temper was hot: "Who rarely talks to him?!" ”

After speaking, he gave Ao Yu a blank look.

When Ao Yu saw his grandfather like this, he originally wanted to go up and ask his grandfather if he was uncomfortable, but when he saw his grandfather's sharp eyes like a blade, he still stopped.

Several children hurriedly surrounded the old man and persuaded the old man, saying that Yu'er is also Xiaoqian's son, and he didn't have to show his face when he finally came to the door. Plus, it's just a few more people and a few pairs of chopsticks, and people don't live there or anything.

The old man didn't listen to any persuasion, and still kept a straight face.

"Leave him alone!"

When the old lady saw that the old man didn't eat oil and salt, she didn't persuade her, so she took the basket from Ao Yu and handed it to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl: "You go and make this thing, remember that it's best to boil it first and then steam it, or stew it with you." It's a rare thing, and I've been looking for it for a long time. ”

Her daughter took the basket and walked away without saying a word.

"Do what you should do."

The old lady pointed to her sons and daughters-in-law: "Don't pestle here, go and turn over the dried beans at each door, don't dry on one side and have no color on the other side." ”

Several people listened to the instructions and hurriedly scattered.

There was only a group of little girls and little boys left in the lobby, all of whom surrounded Ao Yu, and some even pulled Ao Yu's sleeve: "Big brother play with me, play with me." ”

Looking at the harmonious scene in front of her, the old lady sitting on the throne showed a satisfied smile, took a sip of the tea in her hand, and beckoned me: "You guys, sit down." ”

I sat down and looked at the old man behind the beads.

He still had a very unhappy expression, staring at Ao Yu as if he owed him eight hundred yuan.

Ao Yu was playing very happily with the group of children, but a casual glimpse of the old man's unwelcoming or even hostile gaze suddenly lowered his head.

Maybe he doesn't understand why his grandfather, who has always liked him, doesn't welcome him at all.

After a while, it was time to eat.

A large family gathered around a large table at the back of the lobby, sitting together happily, and the dishes on the table were also dazzling and countless.

In this netherworld, there is everything.

"Come on, come on."

The girls in charge of cooking brought a large casserole at this time, and the lid on the casserole did not block the fragrance inside, it was a very peculiar and very attractive taste, and I had never eaten it.

The rest of Ao Yu's grandmother's family was the same, they were all looking forward to the things in the casserole, just waiting for grandma to open the lid under the order, and at this time they stretched out their noses one by one to smell it.

"Lift the lid!"

A glutinous voice said, "It's so fragrant!" I can't help it! ”

"What's the hurry?"

Grandma smiled and said, "Look, I patronized that there was something delicious today, and I even forgot to take the bowl, right?" It's empty in front of us, what are we going to eat? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

When the eldest son heard this, he hurriedly stood up and patted himself: "Look at my head, I can't even remember this little thing, you all sit, I'll go get it with the second child." ”

As soon as the second child heard the eldest brother's words, he hurriedly stood up.

The two went to the kitchen together, and after a while they brought out a large stack of blue and white porcelain bowls and blue and white plates, and the girls who cooked took out chopsticks and spoons, and divided a pair of chopsticks for each of them.

Because I was a distinguished guest, I deliberately used a bowl with yellow patterns and enamel.

"It's so exquisite!"

Ao Ning sat next to Ao Yu, and when he saw that the pattern of each bowl was different, he patted Ao Yu: "Hey, hey! You show me your one, I'm the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea and the Peach Festival, what about you? ”

Ao Yu handed over his bowl: "I don't know much about Chinese culture, so I don't know this pattern. ”

"You really are."

When Ao Ning heard this, he accused: "I don't even know the things of our ancestors, how can I be a Chinese?" After I go back, I will definitely make up for my cultural knowledge! Let me tell you, you are the fifth son of Dengke, what kind of story is it..."
