"That's good. Ever since I parted with you in Yunlai Town, I've been worrying about whether I'll ignore me when you know the truth. A smile appeared on the lips of the sister-in-law of the Xu family, her big eyes flashed, and her voice was crisp.

"Sister Ling is such a good person, how can I give it up." Dong Xiaokui replied. To tell the truth, she really likes this woman, unlike the women of the so-called powerful families she has seen, there is no domineering and powerful atmosphere, and there is no condescending cold eyes. There is a kind of purity all over the body, like a fairy-like woman. It's just that it's so general, and I like it very much.

"Hehe, I like you to call me Sister Ling, don't you? Before you married Zhong Lin, you kept calling me Sister Ling, okay? The sister-in-law of the Xu family proposed very solemnly.

"Good. I like to call it that. Dong Xiaokui replied, with a satisfied smile on her face, like the expression of a child when he gets his beloved candy. Suddenly, she pursed her lips again and said, "However, you still have to call me sister-in-law." That means that you and Zhonglin have a good moon. ”

She said, her eyes were very vivid. Dong Xiaokui's nervousness disappeared completely, pursed her lips and smiled, and asked, "Why did you cut your hair?" ”

She shrugged, grabbed her short hair, looked angry, and said, "It's not that guy who provoked it." I do my hair and ask him if he looks good? He said just a glance and said, 'Beautiful, like an angry hen,' and you look at his man, I have classical hair and let him say that. I'm not happy on the sidelines. He also added insult to the fire, and seemed to comfort and said, 'Good, you don't have that classical temperament, don't do this', so I cut it the next day. ”

Dong Xiaokui covered her mouth and laughed for a while before she said, "Man, sometimes it will make you angry to death." You really can't pay too much attention to what they say. ”

"Xiaokui, will the second uncle say the same?" She suddenly lowered her head, leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"He-" Dong Xiaokui fell into deep thought, thinking about his bits, that guy seemed to be playing tricks on her, hitting her, and scaring her for fun, especially the first time he knew, he always forced her to panic before he was happy.

"How?" Sister-in-law Xu asked very eagerly.

"A brother, what do you say? I guess it's worse than the one in your house. Dong Xiaokui said slowly, thinking that it was a way to live. I like a person, sometimes I always like to tease this person, and I like to see this person's various expressions. Doesn't she like to tease Xu Zhonglin herself? I like to see his various expressions, and in that way, I feel very close to this person.

"Huh? The second uncle usually doesn't talk much, and occasionally comes back for dinner. Mom talked to him, and he asked Mom not to disturb him to taste the food. When I went to see my grandfather, I just played chess and said some strange ancient texts, which I got tired of listening to. Sometimes, when guests come to the house, he just sits and says a word or two once in a while. The whole family said he didn't smile. It turned out that it was all appearances, and the second uncle hid it deep enough. She said, with a look of sudden realization. This woman is very clear, her joys and sorrows are on her face, and she is very relaxed when she talks. But is she really just here to make small talk to herself? The last time she was in Yunlai Town, she actually wanted to identify herself, but no, it must have been because she didn't get the promise of the Xu family, at least not the promise of Xu's mother. Then, this time she showed her identity directly, she definitely didn't have such a ability, and took the lead in coming to see her, and even revealed her identity. If she could, she would have come to Ning Yuan a long time ago.

"He's that kind of person." Dong Xiaokui said lightly, and then changed the conversation and said, "Have you had lunch?" There is a western restaurant nearby, and the food will be able to deal with it. It doesn't seem to be a place to talk here. ”

As soon as these words came out, Sister-in-law Xu said "ah" and said, "I forgot about it." Someone wants to see you. ”

"Who?" Dong Xiaokui immediately asked.

"Secret." Sister-in-law Xu smiled mischievously and put her finger to her lips to silence her.

"Okay." Dong Xiaokui smiled helplessly and asked, "Then dare to ask Sister Ling, do you need to drive or walk?" ”

"Got a car, it's still some distance from that place. You drive along, my car is in front. Sister-in-law Xu said, pointing outside the east gate. Only then did Dong Xiaokui see the guard who came to Yunlai Town last time, who seemed to be standing next to a car with Yunkai, standing straight.

"Good. Then you go first. Dong Xiaokui made a gesture of please, and Sister-in-law Xu had already gone outside the east gate.

Dong Xiaokui drove to follow, and secretly judged in his heart that the person who wanted to see him must be the Xu family, and it was definitely not Xu Baiping or the like. Otherwise, Sister-in-law Xu would not have such an expression.

The car in front is a Mercedes-Benz, and I don't know the price, but it doesn't look like a woman's car. I guess the elder used it. Dong Xiaokui drove to keep up, and gradually, the car went to the small alley next to Q University, and it turned around, but it was a familiar road condition, and it turned out to be just the place where I first saw Xu Baiping. It's just that this time it was a car ride, and I didn't feel very far. This time I was driving, and although there were not many people in the alley, the road conditions were not very good, so I felt a little far.

Finally, the car stopped somewhere, and did not go all the way to the door of the house as it did last time. Dong Xiaokui breathed a sigh of relief, with her driving skills, it was still quite difficult to drive Xu Zhonglin's Land Rover to turn around in this kind of small alley.

got out of the car at the entrance of the alley, and Sister-in-law Xu had already gotten out of the car and ran over to hold her, saying, "At the end of this alley is an old house, which used to be the place where the second uncle and they were punished every time." ”

"Huh? Is it the place where you are punished for facing the wall? Dong Xiaokui was very surprised, last time, Xu Baiping didn't say this.

"Not initially. It is said that when I was first in the capital, my grandmother lived here. took her dowry maid, but together with the war, grandma went out with her grandfather. Later, after settling down, my grandmother still liked it here, and it is said that several uncles were born and raised here. Grandma said it tasted of home. Sister-in-law Xu said as she walked. is defenseless against her, as if she is a family. It's just that Yun Kai next to him couldn't stop coughing a few times.

Dong Xiaokui knew that she was signaling Sister-in-law Xu to stop talking.

Sister-in-law Xu immediately asked with concern: "Yunkai, are you sick?" If you're not feeling well, I'll give you a day off, and I'll drive back by myself later. ”

"I didn't. It's just that suddenly the throat is uncomfortable. Yunkai was also a little embarrassed and immediately replied.

"Oh, that's good. It's hot and dry, and when I go back, I'll ask someone to boil you some herbal tea to remove the fire. Sister-in-law Xu looked at the sky, and said to herself that the weather is indeed too hot, and it seems that there has been a thunderstorm recently. Then, she turned around and said, "I'm most afraid of thunder, so I have to look at the weather forecast today and prepare in advance." ”

"I'm scared too." Dong Xiaokui replied, the two looked at each other and smiled, but walked to the door unconsciously. The furnishings of the courtyard are very similar to the layout of "Wuwei Ji".

However, this vermilion lacquer gate seems to have been repainted recently, and compared to the last time, it has a new look.

"Then I'll check it out and tell you, and you're ready. However, I haven't been to the second uncle's Ning Yuan, and he doesn't like people to go, especially women. I won't even let Xiuxiu go. It's terrifying for the second uncle to start a fire. Sister-in-law Xu didn't stop talking, and added later: "By the way, my name is Yun Luoling, my mother calls me Ling'er, and everyone else calls me Xiaoluo." ”

"It turns out that the eighth aunt said that Xiao Luo is you." Dong Xiaokui said that when she remembered the first time she came here and chatted with Aunt Ba, she mentioned the name Xiao Luo, and Chen Jun seemed to have said that Xiao Luo was Xu Da's wife.

"Aunt Eight actually mentioned me? Alas, I'm busy with photography exhibitions and haven't come to visit her for a long time. Sister-in-law Xu's expression has always been rich, and she has a lot of words.

Dong Xiaokui said very little, only watched Yunkai knock on the door rhythmically, after three rings, the door "squeaked" opened, and the door was opened by a man dressed in black. Dong Xiaokui took a look, this person was not Xu Baiping's entourage, which proved that the person inside was indeed not the boss of the Xu family. At least judging from Sister-in-law Xu's expression, at this moment, she is much more serious.

Walking in, the courtyard seemed to be the same as last year, the tall trees were verdant, and occasionally a small piece of sunlight spilled through the cracks, and the moss on the steps had been removed a lot, as if it had been removed recently. In the fish tank built in the courtyard, there are red fish swimming freely.

Dong Xiaokui looked into the main hall, there was a door hidden, so he couldn't see the people sitting inside, but saw the eighth aunt coming out of it with a dustpan and other brackets, and probably got a lot of snacks in.

"Aoi, you go in. I'm not going in. I'm going to talk to Aunt Eight. I haven't seen Aunt Eight for a long time. Sister-in-law Xu said, then lowered her voice and said, "The person inside is my father-in-law." At that time, I was going out, and he also went out to run errands, and he went all the way. When he saw your car on the viaduct, he stopped and asked me. I'm usually most afraid of grandpa and dad, so you can do it yourself. ”

After Sister-in-law Xu finished speaking, she stuck out her tongue, and immediately ran to the side, grabbed Aunt Eight, and shouted a little coquettishly: "Aunt Eight, I want to eat sweet and sour beans." I haven't eaten it in a long time. ”

Dong Xiaokui paused, a smile appeared on her lips, she should have expected that Sister-in-law Xu's performance must not be Xu Baiping or Xu's mother, but I don't know if it is the old man of the Xu family or Xu's father.

This is confirmed. However, I rarely hear Zhong Lin mention his father, only occasionally I hear it, and I only say that a generation of iron-blooded generals, with extremely accurate marksmanship, is about to come from a military family, is dull, extremely strict with people, and treats children especially well. As a result, the temper is unusually bad. Therefore, the father and son are very wrong. There is only one thing in common, they are persistent in things and people, they both like classical culture, and they are very picky about eating.

Such a person is naturally different from Xu Baiping. When he saw himself, he didn't know how to treat himself as a yellow-haired girl. Therefore, even in the past month or so, Dong Xiaokui has been very calm and has enough psychology to deal with all the people in the Xu family. But thinking that it was the father of the Xu family, I couldn't help but be nervous.

Therefore, in the courtyard, she took a deep breath and stabilized her heart, so that she walked steadily into the main hall without being humble or arrogant. The daylight was just right, just after noon, and there was some oblique light, shining through the gap between the trees, and falling in front of the threshold, like a small piece of bright bedding.

She stood in the doorway and looked down into the hall, where there was still an old-fashioned low-legged wooden table, black lacquered and mottled by time. On the wooden table, small plates with patterns are placed with a lot of snacks. There was a simple gaiwan tea set, the teapot was made of copper, and it was boiling on the fire, and there was hot air coming out of the long spout. This is the equipment of Jincheng's big bowl of tea.

And on the right position, the thin man sitting on the bamboo chair, wearing a dark blue suit, his hair is very short, but he can see that it is a lot whiter, about his early sixties, maybe more than fifty, Dong Xiaokui has never been good at looking at people's ages.

He leaned forward slightly, holding the cup of gaiwan tea, and he said slowly, "Since you are here, come in and sit down." ”

The voice was still low and elegant, which was beyond Dong Xiaokui's expectations, and she responded: "Yes." "Neither humble nor arrogant, he went inside, and sat down opposite him. After looking at it, I found that Xu Baiping was indeed very similar to his father, and Xu Zhonglin was really more like Xu's mother. ......
