Chapter 078: An Unexpected Discovery
Chapter 078: An Unexpected Discovery
Xu Da stopped under the tall sycamore in the courtyard. The sycamore tree has dense leaves, and the sunlight shines through the occasional gaps, revealing fine spots of light, which is very cool. He stood inside, his figure was about the same as Xu Er, and the whole person was also standing upright. The Xu family seems to stand very special and always have special spirits.
He must have been calculating the time, and every second was a waste for him. Still, he waited there good-naturedly. There was not a trace of impatience in his expression.
Dong Xiaokui is naturally not a person who deliberately delays time. So he walked out quickly, stood on the steps, and said, "I don't beat around the bush." I wonder, why today? What motivates you to drink tea today? ”
He didn't answer right away. Dong Xiaokui added: "Some time ago, I can understand that Zhong Lin was injured, his temper is stubborn, and it is inconvenient for you to come forward. But why today. ”
Yes, she really wanted to know what Xu Er had done, so that the Xu family had to come to her today to talk. Even today, if she chooses to let go of his hand, she must know the cause and effect.
Xu Da only glanced at him and said, "Last night, although your affairs were counted as crypto. However, some people can also know. It's amazing how you've done. However, do you think Zhong Lin's ability to control the overall situation will allow last night's incident to happen? What scares you will get? ”
The two rhetorical sentences completely dug out the temptation in Dong Xiaokui's heart. She froze in place. Last night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the horror was uncertain. Her eyes were full of bloody horror. I didn't sleep well all night. In the morning, he was willing to buy feminine products for her, which was considered very lovely, and her heart fluctuated.
So, she didn't dig deeper. However, in the car, she originally wanted to overcome the fear of last night. So, I slowly tried to think about something else. But he didn't dare to think about it, but he had doubts. Xu Er is decisive in killing, has always controlled the overall situation, and is calm and self-controlled. Ye San said it, and Li Yongfeng also said it. So, how could this man allow those two fish to appear in the parking lot?
She was vaguely puzzled, but she didn't dare to think about it. So, he told himself that he was only a man, not a god. He can also be negligent and occasionally lose control of the situation. In July, wasn't his life hanging by a thread?
However, Xu Da's arrival had to make her reconsider her possible doubts. After some hesitation, he finally asked the question when he was about to leave.
"Of course, you should understand why he did it." Xu Dali straightened his clothes, and his tone was light and light. Dong Xiaokui was a little uneasy, her heart was full of taste, and she pursed her lips tightly.
She didn't speak, just looked at Xu Da. He frowned lightly and said, "Don't blame him, he took risks, naturally he also wanted others to see your good." However, this kind of thing can't be hidden from grandpa. However, I really couldn't imagine that Zhong Lin would do such a stupid thing. ”
Dong Xiaokui pulled out a smile and continued to be silent. It's just a slight sting in my heart, thinking: You have always regarded him as the glory of the family, the embodiment of the honor of the family, who ever thought that he would be tired and sad. Will be stubborn, will have their own dreams.
Xu Da saw that she didn't speak, so he said, "Okay." I have to go, or I'm going to be late. ”
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Dong Xiaokui again. She saw his eyes, too, as if to see something in her face.
She had a vague guess before, so she wasn't so flustered that she couldn't help herself. She tried her best to calm down and said to him, "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for inviting me to drink tea, I won't delay Mr. Xu's time." ”
Xu Da's eyes were calm, and he said, "I'm leaving, Chen Jun is outside, he will send you back." I hope Miss Dong can think clearly about what is best for Zhonglin. Although, Zhonglin is good to you. ”
"I know." Dong Xiaokui replied and asked again, "Can I sit here for a while?" ”
"This is the former house of the Xu family. In the past, I studied at Q University and lived here. Zhong Lin also lived here for a year. If you need it, ask the eighth aunt just now. Xu Da walked out patiently and explained.
"Thank you." Dong Xiaokui stood under the eaves of the porch and whispered. watched Xu Da bypass the wall and disappear. She felt no strength at this moment, almost struggling, and went back into the room, leaning on the chair and sitting down, leaning against the back of the chair. A sour nose.
Only then did she understand why Xu Er kept saying sorry as if he was a promise, holding her in shock, and said, "It's me who didn't think it through." I won't let that happen. ”
At that time, she always felt that he was stupid, and that he could control the unexpected.
However, only now did she understand that this man who seemed to see through the overall situation had actually done such a stupid thing. Is he too confident, or is he too trusting of her?
Either way, though. She finally sensed his eagerness from the matter. He wanted others to see her abilities and affirm her.
It's so silly. She pursed her lips, tears finally welling up, and she pulled the carved wooden window to prevent the light from shining too clearly on her tears. Don't let the eighth aunt wandering outside the window see her sadness.
She lowered her head and looked at the clear texture of the wooden table. After a long time, I suppressed the turmoil in my heart and calmed down to analyze this matter. Xu Er did this too recklessly. First of all, this is a public matter, and although he handles it like this, although it has the effect of killing two birds with one stone, it is not a distinction between public and private. This kind of thing, in the army, will be punished. Even if the army can treat this incident as an accident and not pursue it, the Xu family still has strict family rules. Since Xu Da has said it so clearly, it means that Xu Er's mistakes have made the Xu family intolerable. That's why Xu Da invited her to tea today.
No wonder he went out in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to eat lunch. In the morning, the call was made over and over again. He didn't take it, pressed it off, and so on and so forth. Presumably he knew who it was, and what to do with him.
"Xu Zhonglin, you are such a fool." She murmured, tears welling up again.
At this moment, she really wanted to see him and hugged him tightly. However, he is either in the army or in the Xu family. From the arrival of Xu Da, it shows that the matter is very serious, at least from the perspective of the Xu family, Xu Er's move is very serious.
He doesn't know what to do now. I don't know who I'm facing at this moment, and I don't know what I'm going through. She wanted to hear him, she wanted to call him, but she didn't. said to himself again: "Xu Zhonglin, what a big fool." ”
Suddenly, there was a slight knock on the door. Dong Xiaokui immediately wiped her tears and asked, "Who?" ”
"Miss Dong, do you need anything?" The old woman outside the door asked, her voice very gentle, sounding very cultured.
Dong Xiaokui stood up and said, "Thank you Aunt Eight, I'm just a little hot, just sit here, Aunt Eight don't care about me, just go and be busy with you." ”
"Usually, I'm the only one living here, and I don't have much to do. It's rare for someone to come, and I'm happy. Aunt Eight is still standing at the door.
Dong Xiaokui turned around and looked at her, the kind woman and smiled at her. Dong Xiaokui also smiled back.
"Later, when you have time, you can come and sit." She said, her tone unrecognizable.
"Thank you, Aunt Eight." Dong Xiaokui smiled at her.
But she turned around and said to the courtyard, "Xiaojun, come and sit down." Dong Xiaokui saw Chen Jun standing in front of the flower garden next to the wall.
Chen Jun didn't speak, just strode over, bowed to Aunt Eight, and said, "Aunt Eight is good." ”
The eighth aunt smiled, very loving, and said, "You have been busy, and it is rare to come back to see me, and the eighth aunt thinks that you have forgotten me." ”
Chen Jun immediately said, "Eighth aunt, how could Xiaojun forget you." It's just because you have to protect a little all the time. ”
"Okay, since Miss Dong is Zhong Lin's friend, you can sit with her. I'm going to get some of your favorite snacks. The eighth aunt was very happy and turned around and went out. Only Chen Jun and Dong Xiaokui were left, and they glanced at each other.
Although the two have not been together for a short time, this relationship is really strangers. Dong Xiaokui turned around and sat on the chair, Chen Jun stood for a while, picked a remote place, and pulled a bamboo chair to sit on. The two were separated by a long distance, and did not speak to each other.
The surroundings were very silent, Dong Xiaokui looked at her mobile phone by herself, wrote a text message, and wrote: Zhonglin, I miss you. Then delete; After that, he wrote: Zhonglin, how are you? Then it was deleted again; After thinking for a moment, she slowly typed a few words: Zhonglin, what to eat for dinner. I want to eat with you.
Finally, she felt that this sentence was very reliable, so she pressed and sent. Then, anxiously waiting. As expected, Xu Er did not respond. Text messages or phone calls, no.
She was a little worried, and a little bored. Leaning back in a chair. Suddenly, Chen Jun said, "Miss Dong, what did Dashao tell you?" ”
He was originally a person who didn't say much, but he didn't expect to take the initiative to ask this sentence. Dong Xiaokui turned her eyes at him suspiciously, and asked rhetorically, "Do you know what you're asking?" ”
His face was still so cold, and his face had not changed at all, and he nodded to this Dong Xiaokui and said, "I know." However, I care a little less. ”
Dong Xiaokui naturally knew that Chen Jun valued Xu Er's life more than his own. This is also what Xu Erzeng inadvertently said, Chen Jun's three injuries were all to save his life.
"Mr. Xu just invited me to tea and talked about last night." Dong Xiaokui said casually, but he inadvertently raised his eyebrows to look at Chen Jun, wanting to further confirm his guess from his expression.
Sure enough, Chen Jun frowned and hurriedly asked, "What did Da Shao say?" ”
"Didn't say anything. It's just to thank me for being able to think about Zhonglin. Dong Xiaokui replied calmly.
"Really?" Chen Jun didn't seem to believe it.
Dong Xiaokui smiled lightly and said, "Otherwise, what do you think?" ”
Chen Jun's brows tightened, and he seemed to hesitate for a long time before he said: "I am an orphan, adopted by the Xu family, and I have been in the Xu family since I was a child, and I grew up with Xu Shao. Receive all kinds of training, and be beaten and punished together. I know better that Da Shao is a human being, and he can't come for such a thing. What's more, he sees the big picture and sees it clearly. ”
It turns out that this guy was also adopted. It's not that the Xu family doesn't have the role of a big girl, but it's just that the adopted man is a man. Today, Chen Jun is also regarded as a good hand of the Xu family. But what the hell is this guy trying to figure out? Dong Xiaokui didn't understand, and she didn't want to figure it out, in short, her decision must not let him see through. So, she asked rhetorically: "Otherwise, why do you think Mr. Xu is here?" ”
He didn't speak again, pursed his lips tightly, and seemed a little sulking. Fortunately, the eighth aunt walked in, with a round dustpan in her hand, and a plate was placed, and the plate was filled with sugar and beans, as well as osmanthus cakes, finely chopped small black melon seeds, etc.
Odds and pieces, but some of the food in the twenties and thirties of the last century, in the alleys and halls. Dong Xiaokui looked at it, but was happy, and asked the eighth aunt: "These, but you did all of them?" ”
The eighth aunt nodded and said with a smile: "In the past, Xiaojun and Zhonglin liked it." He also said that when he married his daughter-in-law in the future, he had to let me pass on this craft. ”
"Huh? It's true? Is this what Xu Shao said, or did Chen Jun say? Dong Xiaokui talked to Aunt Eight, after all, she didn't want her to see any clues.
The eighth aunt put the plate on the table and said, "Zhong Lin said it." Xiao Jun also asked for this. Isn't it, Joon? Aunt Eight is not mistaken. ”
Dong Xiaokui glanced at Chen Jun, he had a very embarrassed look on his face, and replied embarrassedly: "That's right." ”
The eighth aunt was very proud of her memory, and chattered for a while, saying, "The diary boxes of the two of you are still with me." Later, if you marry a daughter-in-law, remember to come back and get it. Aunt Eight has taken care of it for you. ”
Dong Xiaokui was very curious, and while tasting the sugar poured beans, she asked, "Aunt Ba, what diary box?" ”
"The diary written by Zhong Lin and Xiao Jun said that it was for the person who will go together in the future." The eighth aunt was full of interest. Chen Jun finally shouted calmly: "Eighth aunt." What do you do to her? ”
The eighth aunt was not happy, and began to count: "When you were young, you still talked to the eighth aunt, but now, when you come back one by one, you are bored." Fortunately, Xiao Luo and Xiu Yatou sometimes sent things over and talked to me. I can't talk to this girl now? ”
"Aunt Eight, no. You can say something else, what do you say those do. Chen Jun couldn't help but stand up, as if admitting his mistake.
"Hmph, what did I say, you're still against it?" The eighth aunt was not very happy, looked at the table, and said, "Girl, it's rare for you to come today, I'll make tea for you." I'm good at my craft. ”
Dong Xiaokui still wanted to be polite, but the eighth aunt went to make tea in a hurry. Dong Xiaokui glanced at Chen Jun and asked with a look. Actually, she didn't want to ask anything. Chen Jun was uncomfortable, so he actually recruited himself, cleared his throat, and said, "Eighth Aunt is Grandma Xu's maid." In his early years, he married into the Xu family, and later, he took care of Xu Shao's father. After the birth of the three brothers, especially the eldest and youngest. Xu Shao's parents are very busy, and they don't feel at ease when they are handed over to others, so they are handed over to the eighth aunt to take care of. Therefore, everyone wants to be close to her. ”
Chen Jun of Mu Ne actually said so much at once. Dong Xiaokui let out an "oh" and asked, "Who are Xiaoluo and Xiu Ya?" ”
Ask casually, anyway, it's boring, there are some things to do, so you don't have to think so much.
"Xiao Luo is a young lady, and I have known Da Shao since childhood. The show girl is a cousin of Xu Shao. Chen Jun knows everything.
Dong Xiaokui let out an "oh", continued to eat melon seeds, and looked out the window lazily, the carved beams and beams on the eaves of the corridor were also good. I don't know what kind of mood the people who built this house had in mind.
Just like today, what kind of mood did Xu Er have when he bought such a civilian house? Although it is said that "the big is hidden in the city".
Unconsciously thinking of Xu Er again, she was finally a little uncalm, raised her eyebrows to look at Chen Jun, and frowned, not knowing what she was thinking. She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Chen Jun, did you say that Xu Shao would come back to accompany me for dinner?" ”
He turned his eyes to her and said calmly, "Yes." ”
"I'm always afraid he's busy." She said casually.
"Xu Shao is not sure of everything, and he will not give promises easily. If he said it, he will. Chen Jun said, it seemed that he was a little aggrieved for him.
Dong Xiaokui let out an "oh" and ate snacks by herself. The eighth aunt moved a small stove, tea making utensils, etc., and asked Chen Jun to help with it. Although the eighth aunt is an old woman, her hair is almost completely white, her movements are still healthy, and her posture of making tea is very elegant.
Dong Xiaokui couldn't praise much, she just talked about the eventful years when she followed her young lady and uncle to fight in the south and the north, and there was an irrepressible light on her face. Dong Xiaokui just smiled and occasionally interjected a sentence or two.
Later, I drank tea, and it was cooked just right. She couldn't praise much, and the eighth aunt smiled. Finally, Yu Yao's call came. Asked her where she was, said that the Dai brothers and she was in the café outside the east gate of Q University, and asked her to go quickly.
Dong Xiaokui got up apologetically and said to Aunt Eight that she had an appointment and wanted to leave. The eighth aunt is just a lonely old woman, and when she heard it, her face was a little depressed. But finally it was said, "You go busy, you have time to play." ”
Dong Xiaokui smiled, and she added: "Since you were brought by the boss, and you know Zhong Lin and Xiaojun, you must be a good girl, and you often come here to play when you have time." ”
"I will." Dong Xiaokui smiled and replied crisply.
The eighth aunt sent her and Chen Jun out, and at the door, the eighth aunt suddenly said to Chen Jun: "Xiaojun, is Zhonglin a favorite person?" ”
Chen Jun was about to open the car door, when he suddenly turned around and asked, "Aunt Eight, what's wrong?" ”
"Hmph, I asked him, and he just laughed and didn't speak. Didn't you come back the other day? He took away the jade bracelet you ordered back then. Didn't you say that if you liked it, you would give it to her? It's a shame that I'm going to find someone from the jade family. Aunt Eight looked like "you can't hide it from me".
"I don't know." Chen Jun couldn't help but glance at Dong Xiaokui.
"Come on. Let him bring it back another day to show this old woman. But, then again, when are you going to take that bracelet of yours away? Aunt Eight asked.
Chen Jun coughed a few times, immediately opened the car door, and said, "Eighth aunt, Miss Dong has an urgent matter, I will tell you about this jade bracelet another day." ”
"You guys one by one. When the boss married Xiao Luo, he came to get the jade pendant, hum, he still told me so. The eighth aunt was very displeased.
Chen Jun smiled, and Dong Xiaokui said goodbye to the eighth aunt, and had to greet him politely. But there is a dark tide surging in my heart. He actually extracted the jade bracelet that seemed to have a significant meaning. ......
