In the middle of the night, this Su family garden fell completely silent.

At this time when he should have been sleeping, Xiao Rin was woken up by the sound of percussion that had never stopped beside him.

"Ning, aren't you sleeping yet?" Xiao Rin, who was sleep-deprived, reached out and rubbed her tired eyes, looking at the energetic guy beside her, she sighed a little distressed. Even if she got up, the culprit next to her didn't react.

She reached out and patted Ling Ning on the back, feeling that her meaning had been clearly expressed.

"It's okay, I'm not sleepy. Ling Ning, who was lying beside her, didn't turn around, her eyes were focused on the PSP, and her fingers didn't mean to stop at all...... She's about to push the boss, and she wants her to stop at such a critical juncture...... Hehe, Rin is so naïve!

Hearing this, Xiao Rin's face suddenly darkened. She snatched Ling Ning's game console over: "...... Stupid, don't look at what time it is. It's already one o'clock in the morning, how can I sleep if you're so noisy! Sleep, I'll give it to you tomorrow. ”

"Rin, don't, give it to me! I'm going to die! I've been playing this level for a long time, please!" The game console in his hand was shot, and Ling Ning immediately screamed. Seeing that the boss was about to be pushed down, at this critical juncture: "Rin, I promise to go to bed after this level, really, I will never lie to you." Oh my god, it's dying!!"

"If you don't sleep, I won't give it to you tomorrow. ”

"Rin, I'll agree to whatever you ask, hurry up and give it to me!?" At this critical juncture, Ling Ning didn't even want to be disciplined. As for what happened after that...... That's what she should think about in the future, if she can't get the game console back now, her night's hard work will be in vain!

"Yo, that's what you said, I wrote it down. Seeing Ling Ning's appearance, Xiao Rin didn't tease her anymore, and handed her the PSP in his hand: "Don't be lazy after you go back, we still have a task to do, don't push it to Xiaoli and them!"

"Okay, okay, I'll see if I'm dead......" This guy's heart is already all on the game. Late, no cure!

"Help you pause, rest assured. "It's immoral to sabotage other people's hard work, and Xiao Rin doesn't have such a bad interest...... Even if this kind of hard work seems to her to be so inferior, so unmentionable.

"Lord Xiao Rin is onboard~" Ling Ning, who continues to play the game, still doesn't play for Xiao Rin Shunmao.

Looking at Ling Ning, who was engrossed in playing, Xiao Rin sighed with a little headache: "You, when will you grow up?"

Finding that the other party didn't pay attention to it at all, Xiao Rin closed his eyes directly and rested.

As for the noisy sounds......

Xiao Rin could only get into the quilt.

......

The night is deep, and the moon is hidden.

High in the sky, except for those few stars twinkling, there was no extra light in the dim sky.

In contrast, the Su family garden at night appears brighter. Pavilions and pavilions, red lanterns are hung at the eaves and doors of each building, one by one, one by one, shining brightly in the cold night.

After clearing the customs, Ling Ning turned off the game console.

She stretched out on the bed, and her unusually beautiful figure showed a perfect S-shaped curve. In the Netherworld Affairs Department, whether it is Xiao Rin or Mo Li Xiaoyin, they are all very beautiful women, each with their own characteristics. However, in terms of appearance alone, she should be the most perfect...... Of course, the figure is also the best. Although there was some boasting, she believed that neither Xiao Rin nor those two imps would object to this.

She really didn't feel sleepy, she came to the window eaves, sat on it and looked at the night view outside the window. Ling Ning was very interested in the lanterns in the distance, she had never seen such an ancient lighting tool in the environment she grew up in...... As if to say, I always feel that the scene in front of me is enough to enter the painting, of course, it is definitely not a beautiful picture.

Looking at these lanterns, Ling Ning inexplicably felt a strange fear.

"Rin, do you like lanterns?"

Xiao Rin, who was not sleepy, poked his head out of the quilt: "...... I guess I like it. ”

"Why, don't you think the lantern feels weird at night? I'm thinking about a question, if someone walks at night, would he rather be dark all the way, or would he rather see these red lanterns on the road?" ”

"This question...... It feels like that's what happened. Xiao Rin made up the scene in his mind, for ordinary people to come, the road at night itself carries fear, if there are red lanterns around him, it will only make people even more afraid.

"What about Rin?"

"Personally, I still like lanterns. Xiao Rin was silent in the quilt for a long time, and said as if muttering: "In the distant past, the lantern was the only light and the only guide on the Yin and Yang Road...... It is also a path that the living point out to the dead. ”

"That's right. Ling Ning was not interested in this knowledge, she was interested in Xiao Rin, and listening to her tone, she seemed to like lanterns. Filled with curiosity, Ling Ning asked, "Besides, does Rin still like lanterns?"

"yes, I like it. When I was a child, I hung lanterns with my father... ”

When he said this, Rin's voice was already very low. Ning heard it clearly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a faint, knowing smile. Maybe that's the real reason, whether the lantern is weird or bloody or brilliant and beautiful in her eyes, but in Rin's eyes it is a memory, a memory full of happiness.

In the darkness of the night, the conversation ended...... Xiao Rin had already fallen asleep.

"Rin is really a happy guy. ”

Ling Ning looked up in the direction of Nanya City in the distance...... Are they alright?

......

In the distance of several pavilions, green smoke drifted in the air.

Musical notes have been coming from the middle of the night to envelop the garden, and it has not disappeared until now.

Gently closing the door of the study, Xun Niang, who had been with Su Yi, was surprised to see a small figure sitting at the door in a daze. Her face suddenly became ugly, and she walked over quickly: "Why haven't you gone back yet?

"Aunt Xun, I'm hungry. Under the red lantern, that figure was the little boat lady who sent Xiao Rin and the two. She was wearing light pajamas, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and looked sleepy.

"Forgot to eat at night?" Xun Niang pulled the girl up from the steps and pulled her face: "How many times have you said it, you have to eat on time!"

"...... who wasn't hungry just now" pouted, and the little boat lady was a little more energetic.

"Really, can't you eat on time? The next time I see your mother, I will let her educate you well. ”

When the little boat lady heard this, she immediately pouted dissatisfiedly, and said reasonably: "Isn't my cousin the same, why does Aunt Xun always spoil her." After saying that, she touched her stomach...... I'm so hungry.

"Now that the eldest lady is now the head of the family, Xiao You should not compare with her cousin. Your mother is not happy to hear this. Xun Niang gently touched her head and whispered.

"Obviously, my cousin is like this whenever Aunt Xun is the head of the family, and she has always been like this. ”

Xun Niang looked at the girl with some distress and decided not to continue on this topic. She took the girl's hand and walked towards a corridor with sporadic red lanterns hanging sporadically, and comforted the boat lady: "Okay, okay, it's Aunt Xun, it's wrong, Aunt Xun will cook food for you." Whatever you want to eat at night, Aunt Xun will cook it for you. ”

The night breeze was very cool, and through the dark red light, the big tree in the small courtyard could be faintly seen.

Da da da, light footsteps gradually faded away in the empty corridor.

The kitchen is a small house not far from Su Yi's study, two floors, about the size of two rooms.

As soon as she entered the kitchen, the little girl lay on the table softly, looking unrefreshed.

Her upper and lower eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and her mouth was sharp: "Aunt Xun, I want to eat Yangzhou fried rice." ”

"There is no ham anymore. "Looking for the ingredients, Xun Niang said.

"Then copy Yangzhou fried rice without ham. ”

"The green beans are gone. ”

"Then don't copy the Yangzhou fried rice with green beans. ”

"There's only eggs left, okay?" Xun Niang looked at the other kitchen again, there were a lot of ingredients, and there were more ingredients for various pastries. But the ingredients for Yangzhou fried rice are only some eggs and chopped green onions: "Do you want to go to the family kitchen, there are all these there." ”

Since then, in order not to leave the eldest lady of the bookstore, Xun Niang has converted this storage room into a kitchen.

Because only the food for the two of them needs to be prepared, there are only some ingredients that Su Yi likes here.

"Xiao You?" took two eggs, and Xun Niang wanted to ask the girl what she wanted to eat. When she turned around, she found the girl asleep on the table. She had one hand under her head, and the other simply hung down.

Looking at the tired girl, Xun Niang showed an extremely gentle smile, she walked to the girl's side, and put her hanging arm on the table: "It's hard work, Xiao You did a great job for the first time today." ”

Now it is no longer than before, and the number of people in the Su family is scarce to less than a hundred.

Except for some puppets, the adult clansmen of the Su family either took care of the clan affairs or left the garden in batches...... Xiao You's parents live outside Su Yuan and are responsible for the food and clothing of the clan. These departed tribesmen rarely returned, except for the monthly clan sacrifice.

According to the clan rules of the Su family, underage clansmen are not allowed to leave Su Garden. More than a dozen children, large and small, live in this garden, and the little one is ...... She was a few years older than the kids and didn't like to play with them.

Xiao You, who was not by his parents' side and was not accompanied by his peers, chose a job as a boat lady.

.........

"Little you, little you. ”

Gently shaking the girl, Xun Niang called softly.

Seeing that Xiao You showed no signs of waking up, Xun Niang put the scrambled egg fried rice in front of the girl and blew softly.

The nose sniffed, and the little boat lady who smelled the fragrance slowly opened her eyes: "Aunt Xun, are you okay?"

"Well, let's eat it, it won't taste good if it's cold for a while. ”

Rubbing her eyes, the little girl took the chopsticks handed over by Xunniang.

Looking at the only Yangzhou fried rice, the little boat lady showed an aggrieved expression: "Aunt Xun...... Only eggs?"

"Well, Yangzhou fried rice with only eggs. Xun Niang said solemnly.

"Liar, it's obviously egg fried rice. ”

took a big bite into her mouth, and the little boat lady pursed her lips slightly.

"After eating, go to bed early, and Aunt Xun will go back with you. ”

"Hmm. Swallowing the rice in her mouth, the little girl asked in a low voice, "Aunt Xun, will you make my breakfast tomorrow?"

"Oh good, your breakfast chef will make it. ”

“...... Stingy, cousin can. ”

"Alas, the eldest lady is too picky eater. Speaking of Su Yi's diet, Xun Niang also showed a distressed expression, but more of it was a pampering that made Xiao Boat Niang envious: "It's not that you don't eat anything that you do alone and one person." Little You, don't learn from your sister. ”

"Uh-huh......" The little girl did not reply, and ate with her head down.

It's late at night

Sending Xiaoyou back to the room, Xun Niang also felt a little sleepy.

accompanied Su Yi until late, prepared dinner for Xiao Rin and the two, and finally served Xiaoyou fried rice.

Basically, she was busy all day, and although she didn't feel tired, she felt deeply tired.
