CHAPTER XXXI
Time flies quickly, and after Jiuxi gets used to living in the past few days, it will not be so restrained.
Besides, because the Xiao family is only one Xiao Yuan, it was simpler in the past, but this year there is one more Jiuxi, so naturally it can't be so casual.
Early in the morning on Chinese New Year's Eve, Jiuxi felt some thirst and wanted to get up to drink water, and when he arrived at the door, he found that Xiao Yuan was dressed and seemed to be going out.
"Professor Xiao, are you going out?"
"Well, go grocery shopping."
Only then did Jiuxi notice that he was still carrying a handbag.
"Why don't I go with you?" Jiuxi hurriedly said.
"Hmm."
Saying this, Xiao Yuan did not move.
Jiuxi asked suspiciously, "Professor Xiao, do you have something you don't bring?" ”
"Huh?"
"So, why don't you go?"
Jiuxi pointed to the door.
Xiao Yuan looked her pink pig pajamas up and down, and said, "You want to go out with me like this?" ”
"Huh?"
Jiuxi looked at the pink pajamas all over his body in confusion, and suddenly ran back to the room.
"Professor Xiao, wait for me!"
The supermarket where Xiao Yuan went was full of people, and several times Jiuxi was almost squeezed out, and was pulled by Xiao Yuan's big hand and pulled to the people beside him
"It's a bit too many, you go inside me. Otherwise, it will be lost and a little troublesome. ”
"Hmm." Jiuxi looked away unnaturally, knowing that she shouldn't have brought it up to come along.
Not only did it not help, but it seemed to be too confusing.
The speed of buying groceries has also slowed down a lot due to the excessive flow of people, and it has been two hours since I went to pay for it after I bought it.
"That's a lot of people." Jiuxi stood by and watched Xiao Yuan carry things onto the back car.
"Well, you can buy it in advance, but everyone just wants this atmosphere."
Although Xiao Yuan lowered his head, Jiuxi could feel that he was laughing.
Jiuxi felt this atmosphere for the first time, he used to live in an orphanage, and of course there was also the New Year, but it was not as good as this, everything was donated by others, so it was naturally not so complete. This year is the first time she has been by herself, but she feels very happy because there are different people around her who are really good to her.
Whether it is Yu Hua or Professor Xiao or Grandpa Xiao, they are all sincere to her.
Jiuxi once thought about what it would be like to have a family, but in fact, it seems that this should be the feeling now.
After arriving at Xiao's house, Xiao Peiyuan had already woken up, and he was naturally happy to see the two of them go out to buy vegetables together.
"Grandpa Xiao, are you up?"
"yes, you guys came back from your home so early." Xiao Peiyuan pulled Jiuxi to the table and sat down, and the nanny brought milk and bread to the two.
"Thank you"
Jiuxi took it over and started to eat breakfast, as for Xiao Yuan, it was rare to see him eating breakfast together, so he just ignored it.
After eating breakfast, Jiuxi saw that the ones he bought in the morning were still on the kitchen table, and said, "I'll go and help wash the vegetables." ”
"Hmm."
Xiao Yuan had already changed into a set of clothes, ready to deal with the things he had bought after squeezing for two hours.
He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Then you go and change your clothes, you'll get dirty later." ”
"It's okay, grandpa said that he would change into the clothes he prepared for me later, so I can wear this directly."
Jiuxi looked at his clothes, rolled up his sleeves and sorted things together, and then took them to the sink and washed them one by one.
Xiao Peiyuan stood behind them and smiled with relief. After a while, let the nanny help him back to his room to rest.
"Don't disturb them, if you ask me later, you will say that I am tired and go back to my room to rest."
"Yes, sir."
Although the amount of things Xiao Yuan bought was small, there were many types, so it was a little troublesome and time-consuming to wash.
When it was almost noon, these were dealt with, Xiao Yuan looked at Jiuxi and said, "You go and change your clothes first, and I'll make lunch." ”
"Okay."
Jiuxi couldn't do the cooking, so she responded happily, and then went back to the room to take a bath and change clothes, did she want to wear that set of clothes?
After thinking about it, she took out the outfit from the closet and changed it into.
It was changed, but she was too embarrassed to go out.
At this time, there was a knock at the door.
"Miss Jiuxi, the master called you to go down to eat."
"Got it"
Jiuxi took a deep breath and still opened the door.
The nanny was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Miss Jiuxi looks so good in this suit." ”
"Thank you. Is grandpa waiting for me? Let's go down. ”
Jiuxi smiled softly at her, and then walked down to the kitchen.
Sure enough, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Peiyuan were waiting over there.
Xiao Peiyuan saw Jiuxi wearing the clothes he had prepared, so he naturally closed his mouth happily, and hurriedly beckoned her to sit beside him.
"Jiuxi girl, come and sit next to grandpa, this dress is really suitable for Jiuxi girl, Ayuan, take a look."
Xiao Yuan looked at Jiuxi when he heard this, and he was stunned for a moment, after all, it was the first time he had seen Jiuxi wearing a skirt, and then he smiled and said, "It's very suitable for you." ”
"Thank you."
Jiuxi sat next to Xiao Peiyuan and naturally talked to Xiao Peiyuan.
In the afternoon, it is time to start preparing for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening.
Jiuxi wanted to help, but Xiao Yuan refused.
"Let grandpa know, it's probably going to be a fuss. You go and talk to grandpa. ”
.......
Jiuxi thought about it, since noon today, Xiao Peiyuan has been praising this dress to her, if she accidentally gets dirty, she may really be disappointed.
"Then I'll go out first."
"Hmm."
Xiao Yuan nodded, picked up the apron on the side and tied it. Jiuxi took a look before leaving, but he was a little stunned, Xiao Yuan was originally good-looking, and at this time, he was cooking seriously, and he actually had a different feeling.
Jiuxi suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and walked outside to talk to Xiao Peiyuan.
"Jiuxi, you're very happy to come to grandpa. You're going to have to come and see Grandpa often in the future. ”
What Xiao Peiyuan often said to Jiuxi these days is: You have to come to see grandpa often.
Jiuxi nodded, thinking that the school was not far from here, and Xiao Yuan rarely went home, so there was nothing inconvenient for her to come over.
"Grandpa, there must have been a lot of people coming to greet you in previous years. I heard Yu Hua say that every time he was in the third year of junior high school, he had to go door to door to pay New Year's greetings. After such a trip, sometimes it is not necessarily over when it reaches fifteen. ”
Xiao Peiyuan knew that Jiuxi had probably not been to visit the New Year before, and after feeling distressed, he thought that he could take her to visit the New Year this year and let her experience it.
"Grandpa is old, generally, others come to the house to pay New Year's greetings to grandpa. But this year, I just want to go back to my hometown, and they are all friends of my grandfather, so we can go there together. ”
"Grandpa's hometown?"
Jiuxi was a little interested, she always thought that Xiao Yuan was a local here.
"yes, it's a two-hour drive. Soon, but the place was a little more remote. ”
When Xiao Peiyuan talked about his hometown, his eyes were full of longing and nostalgia.
"I often say to A-Yuan, when I die, bury me in my hometown, in this way, it can be regarded as a fallen leaf to return to the roots."
"Grandpa, you will live a hundred years."
"Master, the girl from the Yu family is here." The babysitter walked over and said.
"Oh, then, let her in."
Xiao Peiyuan returned to his usual benevolent appearance, Jiuxi was stunned, the Yu family?
Didn't Yu Hua say that he came over in the third year of junior high school? Isn't it Yu Hua?
"Grandpa Xiao, Happy New Year!"
Before the person arrived, Yu Xiaomo's voice arrived first.
However, Yu Xiaomo did not immediately come to the living room after entering the door, but looked at the direction of the kitchen, and then his eyes lit up, and then he walked to the living room and looked at Xiao Peiyuan.
Yu Xiaomo was stunned for a moment when he first saw Jiuxi, and then jealousy flashed in his eyes.
"Nine, Nine Creek, why are you here?"
Yu Xiaomo tried his best to make his voice sound sweet and peaceful.
When Jiuxi was thinking about how to answer, Xiao Peiyuan on the side said first, "Grandpa invited Jiuxi here." However, how could Xiao Mo have time to come to see his grandfather today. ”
"Because I think Professor Xiao isn't quite busy? There was no one to accompany my grandfather, so I came over. Unexpectedly, Jiuxi was also there. Yu Xiaomo sat beside Xiao Peiyuan affectionately, holding his hand and coquettishly, but he still wanted to ask why Jiuxi appeared in Xiao's house, not to mention that the set of clothes on her body was something she couldn't afford at all, as for why it appeared on her, it must be the clothes that Grandpa Xiao gave her when he saw her pitiful.
Jiuxi is really too shameless, and sure enough, people who are not taught by their parents don't know how to write the word shame. first climbed up to Yu Hua, and now even Professor Xiao is entangled. It's shameless.
"It's okay, it's okay, this year, I have Jiuxi to accompany my grandfather, but thank you very much for coming here."
Xiao Peiyuan said with a smile.
At this time, Xiao Yuan's cooking was over, he unbuttoned his apron and walked out, as if he didn't see Yu Xiaomo, he walked directly to Xiao Peiyuan and said, "I didn't put much sugar in this year's dishes, you should also pay attention to your body." “
"Okay," Xiao Peiyuan smashed his mouth with some pity, and then instantly became happy and said, "It's okay, this year, Jiuxi will eat with grandpa, and I'm very happy if I don't eat sweet." ”
"Grandpa, it's not good to eat too much sugar." Jiuxi also reminded on the side.
"Yes, then Jiuxi must come to remind grandpa often in the future, otherwise grandpa is afraid that he can't help but want to eat sweet again."
Xiao Peiyuan took the opportunity to ask Jiuxi to accompany him more, and Yu Xiaomo was naturally not far behind on the side and said, "Grandpa Xiao, I can also come to talk to my grandfather often, there are not many classes next semester, I can just come." Jiuxi, didn't Jiuxi do an internship at Professor Xiao's company? In this case, there shouldn't be much time for Jiuxi Company School to run back and forth. “
After listening to what she said, Jiuxi said, "I haven't looked at the class schedule yet, but it's okay on weekdays, and I have time on weekends." ”
"Yes, it's good to come on the weekend, just enough to accompany grandpa around." Xiao Peiyuan said with a smile, but he was thinking in his heart that cultivating a relationship with Xiao Yuan from Monday to Friday, and accompanying him, an old man, on weekends, can also enhance the relationship with his granddaughter-in-law, the best of both worlds.
"Monday to Friday, grandpa also has something, don't look at grandpa is old, in fact, some are busy, just on weekends."
"Grandpa seems to like Jiuxi very much."
