The plane landed slowly, Jincheng was at the foot, dotted with cities, and on the edge were large green rice fields, tall green trees, and quiet villages.

Because there was no luggage, Dong Xiaokui and Xu Lingxiu walked outside the airport together. Someone was waiting outside the airport for a long time, shouting very respectfully: "Miss Six, Miss Dong." ”

"Let's go." Xu Lingxiu waved at him and opened the car door for Dong Xiaokui.

Dong Xiaokui suddenly felt that this was like a coercion, and after a short pause, she still got into the car. She is not afraid of what lies ahead, but she is afraid that she will not be able to stay with Xu Zhonglin.

"Let's drive." Xu Lingxiu waved at the driver.

The car slowly got on the airport expressway. Dong Xiaokui suddenly said: "Go to Xu Shao's residence first, I'll bring a piece of clothing, Shuzhong is cooler than the capital." ”

The driver answered, asking for the location. Dong Xiaokui reported the address. After a while, they arrived at Xu Zhonglin's residence in Jincheng. Dong Xiaokui took a long-sleeved knitted sweater from the wardrobe to make a coat, and then walked out.

Xu Lingxiu looked at the flowers in the courtyard and said with a sigh: "Second brother, this person is just enjoyment, every place is very beautiful and classical." ”

"He's classical in his own right. Do you listen to him talk and do things, can you see the modern atmosphere? Dong Xiaokui said, but unconsciously remembered the long song of autumn water, how could that guy have a modern atmosphere every word.

"Yes, he can make everyone cry by dragging ancient texts, his history and art of war are excellent, as soon as he talks about it, everyone is in the clouds, and his thinking jumps fast. can't keep up, he has to be scared, his expression is indifferent, in a word: You, forget it. Kill people in multiple seconds. ”

"Hehe, I've heard that Ye San is so painful that he gritted his teeth." Dong Xiaokui also smiled and walked out with Xu Lingxiu.

"Only people like the second sister-in-law are suitable for the second brother. The second sister-in-law is also a classical temperament. Xu Lingxiu looked at Dong Xiaokui with a smile and smiled.

"You have nothing to say to me?" Dong Xiaokui laughed as she walked in the car.

Xu Lingxiu sat next to her and said to the driver, "Let's go, go to the old house", and then turned around and said, "Second sister-in-law, what you said is not right." I am boasting of you. It's not an accusation. I think there is only you who can be suitable for him in this world, you can understand him, you can protect him, and he likes it. To be honest, looking at you, as well as the eldest brother and sister-in-law, I always envy you. I'm always thinking about what kind of people I'm going to meet. Wouldn't it be that good? ”

Xu Lingxiu looked at the scenery passing by the window, looking forward to her future. Dong Xiaokui also looked out the window, and a large number of green trees swept all the way, just like so many years.

The car drove smoothly, all the way out of the city, to the southwest, and arrived at the old house of the Xu family at dusk. At this time, the sun receded, the vermilion gate had the vicissitudes of time, and the wall next to the outer gate had mottled traces. Coming to the old house of the Xu family, Dong Xiaokui thought of the old house of the Dong family in Hexiangdu.

"Grandpa recently suddenly said that he wanted to go back to the old house to have a look, so he came back, and he was inside." Xu Lingxiu said that the two of them went to the old mansion. The old house is a typical ancient house, several doors inside and outside are tight, all of them are very wooden, you can see some years, because there are no traces of moths.

As soon as I walked in, it was a wall of light as usual, and on the wall was a plain relief totem, which seemed to be a dragon and tiger or something, blocked by a few bushes of bamboo, and it was not clear. The sunlight shines obliquely from behind the wall. Dong Xiaokui and Xu Lingxiu turned the wall together, it was the main gate of the front yard, the main gate was wide open, and the courtyard under the red light of the sunset was seen from a distance, and the trees were thick, which seemed deep and long.

Xu Lingxiu jumped and ran inside, smiled at the gray-haired old man at the front door, and shouted sweetly: "Uncle Li." ”

"Lingxiu girl is so fast? The old man is still saying that he is afraid that this girl will not come back until tomorrow. The old man replied with a smile, and his blue cloth shirt looked particularly energetic.

"Grandpa asked me to find my second sister-in-law, so I naturally want to be fast." Xu Lingxiu smiled, beckoned to Dong Xiaokui again, and said, "Second sister-in-law, this way." ”

The old man looked at Dong Xiaokui, his gaze swept lightly, although it was not soft, it was not cold. He nodded slightly and said, "Aoi, right?" The old man is inside, and he happens to have prepared your meal, so it's time to start eating. ”

"It just so happens that I'm hungry. When I was leaving in the morning, I heard that Uncle Li was going to cook by himself tonight? There is assorted tofu fish. Xu Lingxiu is very coquettish.

"You girl's ears. By the way, you don't want to call Xiaokui's second sister-in-law. Your grandfather has never expressed his position on Zhonglin's marriage, and you know that he is not in good health. The old man whispered to Xu Lingxiu, then turned to look at Dong Xiaokui, sighed, and said, "Let's go, you must be hungry." ”

Xu Lingxiu stuck out her tongue and replied in a low voice, "Got it." Turning around and shrugging at Dong Xiaokui, he said apologetically: "Second sister-in-law, I'll call you Xiaokui for the time being, grandpa he has heart disease, you know that the second brother's family affairs were set by grandpa." ”

"It's okay, grandpa must have his plans when he sees me today, and you don't have to interfere." Dong Xiaokui smiled and looked at the courtyard, I didn't see it clearly before, but now I can see it clearly, the grapefruit trees in the courtyard are full of flowers, and under the trees are flower beds, flowers and trees are sparse, and there is also the fragrance of gardenias wafting in the heat wave in the summer evening.

The courtyard of the quadrangle, in the middle is also a wood carved wall, hollowed out, separated from the porch.

The old man Li turned the wood carving to look at the wall first, Xu Lingxiu held Dong Xiaokui and said, "Let's go, it's dinner time, grandpa is in the main hall." ”

Dong Xiaokui followed Xu Lingxiu around the eaves of the corridor and entered the main hall. In the main hall is a serious table of eight immortals, and the bright chandelier is the only modern household item in the house.

On the throne sat an old man, sitting very upright. Dong Xiaokui couldn't help but take a light look, with an inch head, all white hair, wearing a rather classical gray cloth breasted top, her facial features were very thoughtful, although her face was full of wrinkles, but her spirit was strong, Dong Xiaokui was secretly shocked in her heart: It turned out that Xu Zhonglin was so similar to Grandpa Xu, and even the look in his eyes seemed to be the same.

I don't know why, Dong Xiaokui, who was still nervous, suddenly lost his nervousness. always felt that Grandpa Xu might not stop himself and Xu Zhonglin, of course, this is also her ideal, maybe it's just wishful thinking.

When Xu Lingxiu saw Grandpa Xu, he was originally eccentric, but now he also stood very upright, and shouted: "Grandpa, I'm back, and Xiaokui is also here." As she spoke, she pointed at Dong Xiaokui, and then said to Dong Xiaokui: "Xiaokui, this is grandpa." ”

Dong Xiaokui's expression was calm, she inadvertently met Grandpa Xu's eyes, neither humble nor arrogant, not afraid or panicked, she stood still beside Xu Lingxiu, bowed her head slightly, and said, "Hello grandpa, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

She didn't mention Xu Zhonglin at all. Because she saw the move, not took the initiative. In this yard, there is no benefit in taking the initiative.

"Well, I'm tired, let's sit down and eat." Grandpa Xu's voice was loud, very imposing, and also with an indescribable majesty.

"Thank you, grandpa." Dong Xiaokui said that Xu Lingxiu on the side had already sat down.

Dong Xiaokui looked at it, and the upper position was naturally Grandpa Xu, then Uncle Li sat on the left, Xu Lingxiu sat on the right, and Dong Xiaokui naturally sat opposite Grandpa Xu. In fact, this kind of rule is much the same. Dong Xiaokui also felt that it was inappropriate, but since the location had been chosen. Dong Xiaokui didn't have anything to say.

Sit down, the meals are not rich, they are all light dishes, all of them are Shuzhong flavors. Rules such as "don't eat and sleep", "eat silently" and "don't turn over the food" are implemented here. Grandpa Xu did this, Old Man Li did this, Xu Lingxiu did it, Dong Xiaokui naturally knows these truths better, these rules, when I was very young, my father repeatedly taught them, and implemented them at home.

A meal is strained. Dong Xiaokui has always abided by the rules, and has been pondering, if it is a family, here Old Man Li and Grandpa Xu are considered elders, and he and Xu Lingxiu are counted as juniors, if there is no kitchen and kitchen helper here, then this kind of thing of washing dishes and cleaning up will have to be borne by himself and Xu Lingxiu. But if there is a cook or something, do it yourself, and you will have a ** share.

This is really a tangled matter, and I forgot to ask Xu Lingxiu these things in a hurry just now. Dong Xiaokui ate slowly, but Grandpa Xu finished eating first, still sitting on the upper seat, Old Man Li immediately said: "Old man, will you still go to the courtyard to drink tea in a while?" ”

"Well, let's go. In the past, every time I went back to the old house, I would go there to make tea after dinner. It's been years. The old man sighed, Dong Xiaokui listened carefully, and listened with a little sadness and nostalgia. She thought to herself: maybe this old mansion carries his best memories, so she wants to come back and see it. In fact, his heart is not very good, and such a tiring journey is the most undesirable.

"Then I'll get ready later." Old man Li immediately said that he had eaten well.

"You don't have to go. Xiaokui will eat it in a while, prepare it for me. Grandpa Xu said suddenly. Dong Xiaokui was taken aback, and hurriedly looked at Grandpa Xu, but he smiled and said, "Xiaokui, eat slowly, I just finished eating, just move the tea set for me in a while." Clean up here, let's show the girl and Cheng Qi. ”

"Hey." Xu Lingxiu agreed crisply, and Old Man Li also agreed immediately.

Dong Xiaokui nodded, swallowed a mouthful of rice in his mouth, and then replied unhurriedly: "Xiaokui is very honored. ”

Grandpa Xu just glanced at her, his expression was dark, and he couldn't see why. Dong Xiaokui ate two more bites, which were half full, and said, "I've eaten well, Lingxiu and Uncle Li use it slowly." ”

"Xiaokui, is the dish unappetizing?" Uncle Li asked politely.

"No, I don't. The dish is delicious, and I am also from Shuzhong, so I like this dish very much. Dong Xiaokui replied, with a smile on her face. Here, he turned around and asked softly, "Grandpa, do you want to move to make tea now?" ”

Grandpa Xu looked at her, and Dong Xiaokui stretched out his hand to help him. He waved his hand and said, "I don't need to help me for the time being, you can take the celadon tea set in the back room and the tea before the rain with me to the flower pavilion in the backyard." ”
