In the evening, when the sun was setting, the Cheng family was not lively, and it was a happy scene.

In the courtyard, on the small round stone table, Mr. Cheng, Steward Jin and Old Man Hao were drinking tea and chatting, chatting about some memories of the past, and the three old men laughed back and forth.

The three are old comrades-in-arms and have a lifelong friendship. After Cheng Xin served as a soldier for 8 years, due to family reasons, he had to let him come back to inherit the family business, and he had to leave the army.

The old man Hao returned to Beijing after being discharged from the army, and he had already done the position of regiment commander in the army, and later the two old men discussed settling in the Beijing courtyard, and the houses of the two families were very close to each other, so Cheng Yan, who grew up in his grandfather's house, and Cheng Yan, who grew up in his grandfather's house, got mixed together since childhood.

It wasn't until I went to college that Anxin's parents thought about their daughter and insisted that their daughter go back to Shanghai to study at university.

It is said that the two old people had intended to marry their children in the past, but unfortunately the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and the two worked hard for a long time, but they could not achieve it, so this burden fell on the shoulders of the grandchildren, Anxin and Cheng Yan.

From time to time, there was laughter and the sound of stir-frying, "Okay, another big dish is out of the pot." Cheng Nuo deftly picked up the pot and put the dishes on the plate.

An An watched from the side, and praised him: "Not bad, Sister Nuo, I haven't seen you for half a year, you are good at cooking!" ”

Cheng Nuo was very useful, and said with a smile: "I took a play, and asked the heroine's cooking skills to reach the level of the second-level chef certificate, I signed up for a training class, and it took me a month to get out of the exam." But it's nowhere near your skill. ”

"If you want to say that you are really proficient in all kinds of martial arts as artists, it's amazing!" Anxin said with emotion.

Cheng Nuo smiled and didn't answer. "Is Xiao Yan still at peace this time?" Cheng Nuo's words changed.

Seeing the seriousness of Cheng Nuo's question, Anxin replied honestly: "What do you mean?" ”

"In every way." Cheng Nuo said lightly as he poured some diced shiitake mushrooms into the pot and closed the lid.

An Xin was silent for a while, and said: "It's not the same as before, the big disaster didn't break through, and there were a bunch of small disasters." He won't touch such illegal things as murder and arson, and it is inevitable to get into a fight, drink a little wine, race a car, or something. ”

"I heard that a few days ago, a woman came home and said that she was Xiaoyan's girlfriend. Makes you angry enough, right? Cheng Nuo asked.

An An's face was flushed with anger, and he didn't hide his anger at all, chattering and complaining: "Xiao Che told you that." Hmph, if you don't get angry, you're not a human being, and my cultivation hasn't gotten that good. That kind of vulgar fan, he just plays on the spot. However, his peach blossom luck has come very fiercely recently, and he has been targeted by the eldest lady of the Zhong family. ”

Cheng Nuo just opened the pot and wanted to taste the soup, when he heard this, he put down the pot again and asked suspiciously, "Zhong family?" Miss? ”

"Sister doesn't know, it's Uncle Zhong's daughter who was just righted by his lover. I heard that Mrs. Zhong didn't like their mother and daughter very much, and her life was not very happy. I was pitiful for them, but I only met her when Xiao Yan took me to dinner yesterday, and it was the first time I saw an illegitimate daughter so arrogant, it was not a glorious identity, and I didn't know how to restrain myself. ”

Anxin stopped when he said this, and suddenly thought of the relationship between Cheng Nuo and the Zhong family, Cheng Nuo's mother is the eldest daughter of the Zhong family, and the sister of Chairman Zhong Tiancheng, counting it, Zhong Li is also Cheng Nuo's cousin.

Seeing that Cheng Nuo didn't say a word, Anxin boldly asked, "Sister Nuo, do you recognize this new aunt and cousin?" ”

Cheng Nuo smiled faintly: "I never care about my uncle's affairs. Now that my uncle has recognized them, they are the Zhong family, don't always call them illegitimate daughters and illegitimate daughters, and when it reaches your Uncle Zhong's ears, I'm afraid I'm going to sue you. ”

Zhong Zai's father, Zhong Tiancheng, who is also Cheng Nuo's uncle, is well-known for his love of complaining, and he is afraid that the world will not be chaotic. The relationship between the Cheng family and the Zhong family is very delicate, and Cheng Nuo's mother is also famous, after her death, Cheng Nuo rarely has contact with the Zhong family except for occasionally going back to see his grandmother.

"I'm not afraid. But Uncle Zhong was really romantic when he was young, and when he saw one and loved the other, he didn't know how many illegitimate daughters were left outside. ”

Anxin said happily, Cheng Nuo stopped his movements, glanced at her with disgust, and scolded: "The more you talk about it, the more energetic it gets, after all, it's the elders, let's just take care of ourselves as juniors, and we can't talk about them behind our backs." ”

"Yes, I won't say it." Seeing that Cheng Nuo was a little displeased, he nodded obediently.

"Which man doesn't care, you, don't care about others, it's true to take Cheng Yan seriously." Cheng Nuo quipped.

"Hmph, if he dares to carry me behind my back and mess with flowers and grass outside, you see if I will spare him! Sister, you don't know, the most annoying thing is Cheng Yan, I pinched Zhongli so hard yesterday, but he watched the excitement like no one else, and I was so angry! An An said angrily.

Cheng Nuo laughed haha: "That stinky boy may still be enjoying it." Don't get used to him, scold when you scold, beat when you should! What's the matter, sister to support you! ”

"Sister Nuo is the best!" Anxin gratefully stepped forward to give Cheng Nuo a loving hug.

"However, when the group of little sisters brought by Zhongli wanted to bully me yesterday, Cheng Yan was still protecting me, and I almost broke someone's wrist." Anxin said with some emotion.

"Cheng Yan, this stinky boy, has you in his heart. The boy is inevitably playful, but I know him, don't look at him often angry with you, if others dare to bully you, he won't agree. Cheng Nuo rubbed Anxin's hair dotingly.

"yes, I know." Anxin nodded sheepishly.

Everyone was very happy at a reunion dinner, and Cheng Xin's eldest son Cheng Yuan, who was Cheng Nuo's father, also ended his busy work early and rushed back, he hadn't seen his baby daughter for too long, and he was happy all night.

During the banquet, I don't know who asked, "Where did Xiao Che go, I didn't see anyone all night?" ”

Cheng Yan's face did not change and his heart did not beat, and the atmosphere was heated up again, but Cheng Yuan's gaze at Cheng Yan was a little more dangerous, and Cheng Yan could avoid Cheng Yuan's gaze and lowered his head weakly.

The lightning of the two people fell in the eyes of Cheng Nuo, who had been smiling lightly, and quietly asked Anxin next to him, Anxin whispered in her ear, Cheng Nuo's face was not very good-looking, and he secretly sighed in his heart that his younger brothers were not worried. I thought to myself that it seemed that I hadn't been to Zhong's house for a long time, and it was time to visit my grandmother and the cousin who was unconscious.
