CHAPTER XXXII
"Jiuxi is a good boy, of course grandpa likes it."
"Then grandpa doesn't like Xiao Mo to accompany grandpa?"
Yu Xiaomo's face was a little ugly, but she still squeezed out a smile and asked, she didn't expect Jiuxi to be so powerful, and she actually bought Grandpa Xiao for a while.
"Happy, how can you not like it. But ah, it's okay for grandpa to have Jiuxi alone, you young people, do your own things, don't delay your affairs because I'm an old man. “
"Why, it's very fun to chat with grandpa."
Yu Xiaomo said with a smile.
"By the way, I see that Professor Xiao has just come out of the kitchen, could it be that Professor Xiao is cooking today?"
Yu Xiaomo asked with some expectation, if it was Professor Xiao who cooked, then she would have to find an excuse to stay anyway.
"Yes, every year Ah Yuan does it himself. If it weren't for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner to eat with the family, grandpa would want to ask you to stay. Grandpa loves to be lively. ”
Yu Xiaomo was stunned for a moment, if she said this, if she said that she would stay for dinner, wouldn't she seem to dislike her family very much.
However, this bargain can't be taken advantage of by Jiuxi alone. Let's just say that because my parents are often outside, I have conflicts with them.
"Grandpa, actually I ....."
"Xiao Mo, although your parents are often abroad, they love you, and that parent doesn't want the best for their children. It's not too early. You, hurry back, don't let your parents worry, go back, just come over with Yu Hua's girl. ”
Xiao Peiyuan said earnestly.
Yu Xiaomo was a little speechless, Xiao Peiyuan directly blocked back what she was going to say, and she didn't even have a chance to speak.
"Then I'll go back first. Grandpa, I'll come back with you when I'm free. ”
Yu Xiaomo stood up in disappointment, bowed to Xiao Peiyuan and prepared to leave, and then remembered that he had another purpose for coming today.
"By the way, grandpa, this is a gift I brought to you, and Professor Xiao's. I didn't know Nine Creeks was here, though, so I ..... Sorry I didn't have a gift for you. ”
Yu Xiaomo said sorry in his mouth, but when he looked at Jiuxi's eyes, he didn't apologize at all. But Jiuxi is also used to it, she prepares a gift for herself, and Jiuxi feels strange.
"It's okay, I didn't know that Xiao Mo would come over, and I didn't prepare your gift."
"It's so polite, you put it on the table, go back, I'll let the nanny put it away." Xiao Peiyuan pointed to the table in front of him.
Yu Xiaomo nodded and put the two gift boxes on the table, which were the gifts she had carefully selected.
If I hope to give it to Professor Xiao, I just took advantage of this opportunity to send it, and he will not refuse.
"By the way, Grandpa's red gift box is for you, and the blue gift box is for Professor Xiao."
"Good, good."
"Then, grandpa, I'll go back first."
Yu Xiaomo hoped that Xiao Peiyuan and Xiao Yuan could say a word at this time to stay for dinner and then go back, even if they said a word to play for a while, but the reality was too skinny, Xiao Yuan didn't raise his head and continued to look at his phone.
Xiao Peiyuan smiled and asked her to walk slowly, she looked at Jiuxi sitting next to Xiao Yuan, and she couldn't get up in her heart, so she left in a huff.
"Grandpa, I also have a gift. I just want to wait for the evening when I finish the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. ”
"Okay, grandpa, when will you put it away?" Although Xiao Peiyuan smiled at Jiuxi, his eyes were full of pampering and satisfaction.
For Jiuxi, it is the person that his grandson agrees with, which is equivalent to the person he agrees with, saying that these days after getting along, Jiuxi is indeed a good person, but he looks left and right, Xiao Yuan doesn't seem to have taken Jiuxi down, Jiuxi is a kind of respectful and admiring to him, as if he has no personal feelings.
That's going to be hard......
Xiao Peiyuan shook his head dissatisfied, it seemed that he still wanted his grandfather to assist.
"Ah Yuan, are you ready?"
Xiao Yuan looked up at him when he heard this, and when he saw him frowning, he frowned and said, "What's wrong with your eyes?" ”
Xiao Peiyuan's face was suddenly embarrassed, and then he coughed twice and said, "Oh, it's a little itchy." How's your meal going? ”
"It's still early, so let's make the ones that need to be stewed for a long time."
Xiao Yuan leaned his back on the sofa, then looked at Jiuxi and said, "Do I have a gift too?" ”
Jiuxi didn't expect him to talk to her suddenly, he was a little stunned for a while, and before he could react, Xiao Peiyuan saw this and hurriedly said, "Oops,"
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Jiuxi hurriedly came over to help him.
"It's okay, it's okay, grandpa go to the toilet. You talk first. Xiao Peiyuan said and slowly stood up, as if he really wanted to go to the bathroom.
"Grandpa, why don't I help you over."
"No, no, you can stay here and grandpa will go by himself."
Xiao Peiyuan stood up as he spoke, and his movements seemed to be faster than just now.
"Do you have a gift for me?"
Xiao Yuan looked at Xiao Peiyuan's back for a second, then turned his head to Jiuxi to speak.
"Well, I just don't know if Professor Xiao likes it or not."
"I like it."
Xiao Yuan laughed lightly, then looked at the time, and said, "Do you want to see fireworks on Riverside Road at night?" ”
"Fireworks?"
Jiuxi has seen that kind of fireworks on TV, and the feeling of a hundred flowers in full bloom can also be applied to fireworks, all kinds, thousands of postures, and different colors.
Xiao Yuan saw the curiosity and hesitation flashing in her eyes, and continued, "There are too many people, and grandpa is inconvenient. Go back later. “
Jiuxi didn't speak, Xiao Yuan sighed secretly in his heart and said, "You have been here for so many days, you have been at home with grandpa, and if you are detained at home, grandpa should have trouble with me." ”
"Okay."
Sure enough, as soon as this sentence was said, Jiuxi immediately agreed.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Yuan began to prepare dinner, and Jiuxi went back to his room to take out the gifts he had prepared. She prepared a set of waist support for Xiao Peiyuan, because of Xiao Peiyuan's grade, his waist is not good, sometimes it is difficult to squat, and he is often sore, so she went to the mall to buy a set, but the price is twice as much as usual.
What Xiao Yuan prepared was a fountain pen, which he bought with the red envelope he gave, although it may not be as good as what he used on weekdays, but it also cost her a lot of money, and it shouldn't be too bad to buy it at the counter.
Thinking that he would send it after he finished dinner, Jiuxi first put the things in a convenient place, and then went to Xiao Peiyuan's room to help him go to eat together.
"Come here."
As soon as Xiao Peiyuan sat down, he took out the red envelope he had prepared and gave one to Jiuxi and Xiao Yuan.
"Grandpa, I ......"
"It's okay, Jiuxi, you take it, the elders can't give it away."
Xiao Peiyuan smiled and put the red envelope in Jiuxi's hand, and when he wanted to give it to Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan avoided it, and said before Xiao Peiyuan was about to lose his temper, "Let Jiuxi help me keep it." “
"You stinky boy, let Jiuxi help you collect ......" Xiao Peiyuan just wanted to scold, but when he met Xiao Yuan's deep gaze, he reacted suddenly, stuffed the red envelope into Jiuxi's hand and said, "A-Yuan may not have time to take it now, you can help him get it." “
"Ah, is that good?"
Jiuxi looked at Xiao Yuan with Xiao Yuan's red envelope, Xiao Yuan nodded, and continued to place the dishes and chopsticks.
Xiao Peiyuan finished giving the two of them a red envelope, took a red envelope from the bag, handed it to the nanny, and said, "This is yours, you have worked hard all these years." ”
Although the nanny has also received red envelopes from Xiao Peiyuan in previous years, she will be moved every time.
"Thank you, sir."
"By the way, Grandpa, I have a gift for you too. You wait for me. ”
Jiuxi stood up and took out all the gifts he had prepared earlier.
"Happy New Year, Grandpa, this is a gift for you." Jiuxi put the gift box in front of Xiao Peiyuan, then picked up a smaller gift box in front of Xiao Yuan, and said sincerely, "Professor Xiao, Happy New Year." ”
Xiao Yuan took it, then took a small box from his pocket and handed it to her, "Happy New Year." ”
Jiuxi was stunned for a moment, then took it, "Thank you." ”
"That's right, Auntie. I've got yours ready, you wait. Jiuxi said and went back to the room to get another box, which she also bought in the mall, it was a baby bottle, imported from Europe, and when I chatted with her before, I learned that her daughter-in-law had just given birth to a big fat boy, and she thought that this bottle might be used.
Because it was the Chinese New Year, Xiao Peiyuan asked the nanny to sit down and eat together.
The nanny likes Xiao Yuan's cooking very much, not only does it look good, but it is also very delicious, much better than what she cooks, but after all, Xiao Yuan has his own company, so it is naturally impossible to cook often.
Jiuxi felt that today's meals were all her favorite foods, so she ate several more bowls.
After using it, Jiuxi and Xiao Yuan accompanied Xiao Peiyuan to watch the New Year program, and finally under Xiao Yuan's eye greetings from time to time, Xiao Peiyuan finally said that he was sleepy and wanted to go back to his room to rest.
"It's still very early, Ah Yuan, do you want to take Jiuxi out for a walk, grandpa remembers that there seem to be fireworks on the riverside today. Let's go over there, grandpa can't stay up and is going to sleep. ”
"Hmm."
Xiao Yuan turned off the TV as he spoke, then went back to the room and took a coat, looked at Jiuxi's skirt, frowned and thought for a while, and said, "You go back and change into simple clothes." ”
"Oh, good."
Jiuxi looked at his clothes, and they didn't get dirty, why should he change them....
After she finished changing her clothes, Xiao Yuan's car was already parked outside.
As the name suggests, the riverside is next to the river and spans a bridge that is divided into pedestrian paths and driveways.
Cars are not allowed on the sidewalk, and no one is allowed to enter the driveway. Compared to the driveway, the sidewalk is more user-friendly, surrounded by greenery and seasonal flowers.
There are sandy beaches on both sides of the bridge, which are made into parks, which are divided into South Riverside Park and North Riverside Park. At this time, there is a place in the north and south parks that is fenced off for fireworks. And on the bridge and on the beach are standing people waiting for the fireworks to go off.
Although the weather was very cold, there were still a lot of people who came, and they came out one by one wearing cotton jackets.
Xiao Yuan parked the car on the side of the road and took Jiuxi to the bridge.
