Chapter 44: Talking about conditions
Xiao Qinian got out of the car, looked up at the balcony somewhere, and asked lightly, "What sound?" Woman's? ”
How is it so familiar?
"Go back to the eldest young master."
Uncle Chang smiled slightly and said, "It's the little young master's tutor who is talking, and it is estimated that the little young master has made some mistake and is about to be punished." ”
"Punishment?"
Xiao Qinian looked at the open-air balcony thoughtfully, and suddenly laughed, "This time the tutor is not simple, even that kid dares to teach a lesson." ”
In normal times, only he, Xiao Churui, bullied the tutor.
And those tutors dare not speak out, thinking that as long as they tie up with the two young members of the Xiao family, the future will be limitless, so each of them holds Xiao Churui in the palm of their hands.
But the more Xiao Churui was coaxed, the more unhappy he became, and now he changed his methods to be ruthless, but he stayed and stayed for six months.
This masochist constitution does not know whose inheritance it is.
Xiao Qinian sneered, and without waiting for Uncle Chang to say good things for Xiao Churui, he walked into the gate of the old mansion without looking back.
Hearing that he was coming, Mrs. Li pulled Xiao Yelin to wait in the living room early in the morning, and the moment she saw Xiao Qinian, the smile on her face suddenly bloomed.
"Coming back?"
"Nope."
Xiao Qinian glanced at her indifferently, "This is not my home, please trouble Mrs. Li to figure it out before speaking." ”
This conversation has been repeated more than once, but Mrs. Li asks it once a year, and she is not discouraged at all.
But hearing him say this, Mrs. Li will inevitably be a little disappointed, and the smile on her face will falter.
Just when Xiao Yelin was about to open his mouth to comfort his wife, Xiao Churui suddenly screamed angrily from the second floor: "I don't do it, I just don't do it, it's useless if you kill me!" ”
"What's going on?"
Xiao Qinian looked at a certain door with interest, and Mrs. Li on the side saw that he had said more than before, and hurriedly explained to him: "It must be that Chu Rui doesn't want to do math problems, he is most annoyed by this." ”
Laugh at.
Xiao Qi spit out a sentence contemptuously: "Out of breath." ”
A primary school math problem is called like this, and he still dares to call the board? Who gave him the confidence?
Just when he was full of disdain, Mrs. Li on the side was looking at him with a smile and a smile, and said in her heart: I said one more word, keep up the good work!
So, she didn't hesitate to take out her son as a background board: "Chu Rui, where is your brother smart, otherwise he won't get a zero score every time, or ...... Teach him, right? He's very happy, and last time he praised you for being a great brother! ”
Someone cornered by a math problem: Mom, when did I say that? Don't talk nonsense with your eyes open!
"Teach?"
Xiao Qinian hooked the corners of his mouth, "Isn't he already taught, and he still needs me to teach?" Mrs. Li inevitably thinks too highly of me. ”
After saying this, without waiting for Mrs. Li to speak again, he turned his head to Xiao Yelin on the side and said, "I have something to discuss with you, go to your study." ”
Consult?
Xiao Yelin was stunned, didn't he just want to see the photo this time?
Seeing that her husband was motionless, Mrs. Li hurriedly pushed: "What are you doing in a daze, go quickly, everyone has already gone upstairs." ”
This reminder made Xiao Yelin, who was a little stunned, react at once, and then quickly followed under the urging of his wife, thinking about how to create a harmonious topic.
However, before he could come up with a solution, the two of them had already entered the study.
In desperation, Xiao Yelin could only invite the young man in front of him to sit down, and then turned around to get his mother's photo.
The photo is placed in the dark compartment, and no one usually dares to move it, only Xiao Yelin himself occasionally turns it out to take a look.
Sometimes Xiao Qinian was helpless, so he muttered to himself to the woman in the photo, hoping that she would have a spirit in heaven and could help him.
He really didn't want him and her only flesh and blood to hate him all the time.
This feeling...... It's like Ling Chi.
Xiao Yelin looked at the photo in his hand with a complicated expression, and was silent for a while, before turning around and handing it to the young man sitting on the sofa.
"You just said you wanted to discuss something with me, what?"
"Wait a minute."
Xiao Qinian took the photo and looked at it very intently, as if she wanted to imprint her appearance deeply in her mind.
I don't know how long it took, he finally put down the photo and said, "I want to take this photo away, and you can open it on the condition, as long as it is within my ability." ”
The flat tone was like a huge bomb that detonated on the top of the middle-aged man's head!
And sure enough, he asked for it.
Xiao Yelin looked at him in a daze, and sat down slowly for a long time, relieved and a little overwhelmed at the same time.
Yes, how could he, who lost his mother at the age of four, be willing to watch it once a year? After all...... The original photo of his mother had already been buried with the ashes, and if he wanted to find something about his mother, he could only come to Xiao's house.
Can...... It's too fast.
Xiao Yelin didn't want to hand over the photo to him yet, once it was handed over to him, they would really ......
"How,"
Xiao Qinian looked at him coldly, a little displeased: "Look down on my promise? Or did you not intend to give me the picture at all? ”
The young man's increasingly cold tone made Xiao Yelin feel a little powerless.
He sighed, "You misunderstood, I'm just not sure ...... your promise"
"Can you take it seriously, can you?"
Xiao Qinian looked at him sarcastically, "It's good for you to put a hundred hearts, I'm not like someone, who regards the mountain alliance and sea oath as a fart!" ”
This familiar taunt made the middle-aged man's face even more ugly, but he didn't get angry, just looked at him very sadly, trying to explain something, but couldn't say anything.
In his eyes, no amount of explanation is a cover-up, right?
Xiao Yelin sighed slightly: "Since you have said so, then I am welcome." You can take pictures, but you have to come to Xiao's house once a week for a meal, how about it? ”
"Weekly?"
Xiao Qinian frowned.
used to come to the Xiao family once a year, but how did it suddenly become weekly? This is too cheap Xiao Yelin, right?
So, without thinking about it, he vetoed: "It's impossible every week, at most once a month." ”
"Twice a month."
Xiao Yelin retorted without hesitation, and said with a smile: "It's just a meal, if you don't agree, then the photo is ......."
Before he finished speaking, the young man in front of him got up suddenly, and then strode forward and put the photo on his desk: "I'll think about it again." ”
After speaking, he slammed the door and walked out, obviously angry by Xiao Yelin's robbery.
Twice a month?
He actually had to spend one meal a month looking at the hypocritical faces of the couple twice!
But the thought of seeing my mother every day......
Xiao Qinian's tense face softened slightly, and he was hesitating whether to agree, when the oncoming Mrs. Li smiled at him gently.
"Qi Nian, have you had breakfast?"
"I've eaten it."
He opened his eyes and said nonsense, and the next second he was seen through by the smiling Mrs. Li: "Have you really eaten?" You've just ...... Are you eating sugar? ”
