It is the season of catkins, Xu Jiheng is standing outside, he always can't help but want to rub his nose, he doesn't want to obstruct the view, so he can't help it, Sister Ah and Zhou Gongzi in the lobby have already been courtesy, and there is an endless stream of guests, Xu Jiheng stood under the tree and watched, his expression revealed a little uneasiness.

Unfamiliar environment, strange people coming and going in front of him, from today he doesn't have to go back to that small hut, he will live with Sister in this Zhou Mansion, but Sister A will no longer be his sister alone, she has a husband, has in-laws, and in the future, he will usher in a little nephew or niece as an uncle, Sister Ah will no longer focus on himself, and he is really going to start to be alone.

He looked at this Zhou Mansion, knowing that he would live here in the future, but he couldn't find any sense of belonging for a while.

There was a person walking in front of him, it was Zhao Yu'an, who he hadn't seen for a long time, he walked in front of Xu Jiheng, with his hands behind his back, and still had a warm smile on his face, "Why are you here, my aunt is looking for you inside." ”

There was surprise in Xu Jiheng's eyes, after all, this was the first friend of the same age he knew, if a few words of conversation between them that day could show that they were friends, but Zhao Yu'an's words made Xu Jiheng quickly get rid of this surprise.

The aunt in Zhao Yu'an's mouth is Zhou Gongzi's mother, Sister A's mother-in-law, except for today, Xu Jiheng only saw Mrs. Zhou on the day Sister took him to Zhou's mansion, and said two words briefly, he was a little puzzled, "Looking for me?" ”

Xu Jiheng didn't dare to slack off, he knew that every time he did something in this mansion in the future, he would have to go through it in his mind several times, whether he should do it or not, how to do it, and whether it would cause any consequences. After all, he is Sister A's younger brother, and Sister A married into this house, there are no parents to rely on, and he has little ability to let Sister A rely on him now, what he says and does is linked to Sister A, he can only do everything as well as possible, don't give anything to others, and don't make trouble for Sister A.

Xu Jiheng said solemnly: "But for what? I'll go right away! ”

Zhao Yu'an smiled and nodded, Xu Jiheng turned around and walked forward in a hurry, the smile on Zhao Yu'an's face was a little unbearable, he grabbed Xu Jiheng, his strength was not as good as Xu Jiheng, and he was also taken two steps forward.

"Jiheng, Jiheng, you stop for the time being!"

Zhao Yu'an glanced at the people around him, but no one paid attention to them, so he appropriately amplified his voice a little.

Xu Jiheng looked back at him hesitantly, slowing down, but still didn't stop, "Huh? ”

Zhao Yu'an couldn't help it and laughed, "Auntie, she... Haha, my aunt did want to look for you, but she told me to let me come back to you in an hour, the house is so lively today, how can she go away now? Haha, you're too eager. ”

Xu Jiheng reacted, and there was a hint of happiness in his heart, as if he had escaped a catastrophe, and then he was a little embarrassed.

Zhao Yu'an laughed enough, and said: "It's that I didn't speak clearly, which made Jiheng anxious, I'm really sorry." ”

Xu Jiheng didn't know what to answer, so he only shook his head.

Zhao Yu'an suddenly said: "You don't have to be so restrained, in the future, you will be the little son of this week's house, and we are a real family, whatever you say and do is casual, uncles and aunts are actually very close people, and they like your cousin and sister-in-law, and I like you very much, you don't have to worry too much, just let go." ”

Fu Rusi listened, a little surprised that Zhao Yu'an's mind was so detailed, in the eyes of his peers, Xu Jiheng was actually very precocious, but Zhao Yu'an saw Xu Jiheng's worries clearly, and every word hit Xu Jiheng's heart, and he couldn't help but comment: "But I have such a mind at such an old age, and it will be even more incredible when I grow up." ”

Xu Yun on the side was silent for a moment, and then there was a sneer, and his words were also cold and mocking, "It's really amazing." ”

Xu Jiheng still didn't know how to respond to Zhao Yu'an's words, and it seemed that it was not good to say anything, so he nodded again.

Zhao Yu'an smiled, "I know that you probably won't listen to anything now, but it doesn't matter, after a long time, you will know that my words today are not coaxing you." ”

Xu Jiheng had no choice but to respond, "Hmm." ”

After a while, the slight surprise brought by the reunion of the two came back to his heart, and he asked Zhao Yu'an a little shyly: "You came to the wedding banquet this time... How many days will it last? ”

Zhao Yu'an thought for a while and said, "It's about four or five days, if you want to go out for a walk in the future, you can tell your aunt or cousin, and they will carefully arrange for someone to send you to my house as a guest." ”

Xu Jiheng didn't think about these things, but it was not good to directly wipe Zhao Yu'an's face, so he seriously agreed.

An hour later, Zhao Yu'an took Xu Jiheng to find Mrs. Zhou, Zhao Yu'an sent him to the door and left, and told him not to worry about things like that when he left. Xu Jiheng took a deep breath and entered the door, at that time, Mrs. Zhou was drinking tea, and the maid next to her was gently beating her shoulders to relax, after Xu Jiheng came in, she put down the teacup and did not wave away the few little girls who were waiting on the side.

After Xu Jiheng respectfully bowed, Mrs. Zhou took Xu Jiheng's hand and said gently: "There are too many things these days, I can't find time to have a good chat with you, it's because I'm negligent." ”

Xu Jiheng hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's because I'm ignorant and not polite, so I didn't come to see Mrs. first, and I ask Mrs. not to blame." ”

Mrs. Zhou pursed her lips and smiled, although it was properly maintained, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes still existed, "It's all a family, you don't have to see each other like this, you and your sister lived together in the past, and your family will be us in the future, if you want to say what you want, don't be stubborn, just talk to us, don't be wronged, I don't like to talk about the scene, since I said it today, it means that this is what I really think in my heart." You and your sister have suffered in the past, and they will not suffer again in the future, she is the young grandmother of the Zhou Mansion, the mistress of the Zhou family in the future, and you are the little young master of my Zhou Mansion, and the name is rightly entitled to due treatment. I can assure you that if anyone neglects the young grandmother and young master of my Zhou Mansion, I will not give up easily. ”

Xu Jiheng looked up at Mrs. Zhou, but did not answer, he forgot what was polite or not, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red slowly.

He saw the love and sincerity in Zhou's mother's eyes, and even in his memory for a long time, he had never seen his deceased mother or father look at him with such emotion. What they say the most seems to be that there is something to do here, don't be lazy, hurry, there is still something waiting over there.

Zhao Yu'an stayed in the Zhou Mansion for five days before leaving for home, and for the past few days he stayed with Xu Jiheng every day, and the two would talk about their favorite poems and articles, exchange opinions with each other, and sometimes disagree, depending on whose point of view could convince each other.

Zhao Yu'an's occasional revealed ideas will make Xu Jiheng feel novel.

They would also go to the teahouse to listen to books, or go to the theater to watch a play, and more often the two would stay in the same study, not saying anything to each other, quietly looking at their own books, or practicing their own calligraphy.

Before Zhao Yu'an left, he said that he might not come here to live here again in the past few years, and if he could, he must remember to go to him, Xu Jiheng agreed seriously and said goodbye to Zhao Yu'an.

And as Zhao Yu'an said, before the destruction of the Zhou Mansion, Xu Jiheng had never seen him again.

Master Zhou and Mrs. Zhou treat Sister A like their own daughter, and Gongzi Zhou loves his wife even more, and occasionally the two have conflicts, even if it is Sister A's fault, Gongzi Zhou is still reluctant to say a word. Even if he is angry and doesn't want to stay with Sister A, he will explain his whereabouts before leaving, and wait for Sister A to find him like a coquette. Sister Ah will naturally look for him after she is angry, but most of the time, before Sister Ah can find him, Zhou Gongzi will come back first.

The Zhou Mansion treats Xu Jiheng like a young master, and Master Zhou sometimes teaches Xu Jiheng how to manage the money village when he has free time, Xu Jiheng is smart and learns quickly, and Master Zhou is very pleased. And Mrs. Zhou's change is meticulous, Xu Jiheng's food and clothing don't even need to be distracted by Sister A, she will take care of it herself, and exchange sincerity for sincerity, Xu Jiheng gradually relaxed his mentality, and really regarded Zhou's house as his home.

No matter how precocious he is, it is also a child's nature, even if he is coquettish to his sister, Xu Jiheng, who is rarely coquettish, will occasionally be coquettish to Mrs. Zhou, which makes Mrs. Zhou laugh non-stop.

Half a year later, Sister A gave birth to a little young master for Zhou Mansion, named Lixuan, Zhou Gongzi felt sorry for Sister A's consumption was so big, and he didn't want Sister A to give birth again. Sister still wants to have another eldest lady, so after another year, the Zhou family really added an eldest lady, the Zhou family had already asked Xu Jiheng to name his niece, Xu Jiheng thought for a long time, and only decided on the name when she was born.

Xu Jiheng named her and called Yining.

Four years later, Xu Jiheng was fifteen or sixteen years old, he was a lot taller, and at this time he was not much shorter than Zhou Gongzi.

On this day, he was enjoying the shade under the tree, and his five-year-old little nephew stood honestly in front of him with his hands behind his back, his immature face was full of seriousness, and the white jade dumplings were like white jade balls, which made people look only cute and tight.

It is said that the nephew is like an uncle, although Xu Jiheng's facial features have not fully grown at this time, they have seen Xu Jiheng's adult appearance, if they don't know that what they are seeing at this moment is Xu Jiheng's memories, Fu Rusi really thinks that this little young master is Xu Jiheng's biological son.

Xu Jiheng picked up the book spread on the small table next to him and handed it back to his little nephew, and said with appreciation: "Today I have made a lot of progress, I only memorized half a page yesterday, but today I have memorized all of it." ”

After receiving the praise of his uncle, the little young master held the book and immediately smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth.

Xu Jiheng couldn't help laughing, he rubbed the little master's head, and said softly: "Try not to let others help, just put this book back on the table in the study, and when you come back from completing the task, your uncle will tell you a story." ”

The little young master nodded vigorously, picked up the little short leg and was about to run, the flesh on his face shook and swayed, Xu Jiheng glanced at the little guy who had been waiting next to him, and the little guy immediately understood, and followed behind the little young master not far away.

didn't run a few steps before he bumped into someone, the little young master hurriedly raised his head, and called sweetly, "Mother!" And he continued to run on.
