After the old man's reminder, he suddenly remembered that he really hadn't eaten with Xia Cheng for a long time.

In the past, when he was studying in the capital, he accompanied Xia Cheng when he came back from vacation, but now although he is back to work, he lives alone in a rented house outside, and the time is not very large, so he does not accompany him.

"Okay, okay, then Xia Cheng and I will wait for you to come over." The old man hung up the phone as he spoke, with a deep smile on his face.

After Xia Zhijiu called his friend to explain the situation, he decisively went home and drove to Xia's house.

As soon as he arrived at Xia's house, Xia Zhijiu saw Uncle Zhang standing outside the door waiting for him.

"The eldest young master is back, and the old man has been talking about you." Uncle Zhang said and hurriedly asked the driver to come over and drive the car to the parking lot, and he walked behind Xia Zhijiu, and told him about the old man's current physical condition, "The old man has been a little uncomfortable in the past two days, and the doctor said that it was because of the hot weather." ”

The Xia family is very cool at this time, and the constant temperature is of course not hot, but in the end, there are times when they go out, and they are naturally not as comfortable as at home, and the old man is old, of course he can't stand the sudden change in temperature.

Xia Zhijiu frowned, turned to look at Uncle Zhang, and whispered: "Don't let him go out next time if there is nothing important, it's really hot outside during this time." ”

It's hot at this time, and he can't stand it after standing outside for a long time, let alone the old man.

"I know everything, don't worry, young master." Uncle Zhang said with a smile in his eyes, worthy of being the old man's favorite grandson, and he always cares about the old man.

Unlike the other two......

Xia Zhijiu nodded, went upstairs directly, and met the Lin family in the stairwell when he got married.

Looking at him, Lin Shi was not surprised, but said with a faint sarcasm: "Zhijiu is back, why don't you say hello in advance." ”

This is a change of way to say that he didn't tell his elders when he came back, saying that he didn't know how to be polite.

Xia Zhijiu listened to Lin's words and went upstairs directly without saying anything, then turned around and looked at Lin in the stairwell condescendingly, and said coldly: "Not to mention that grandpa asked me to come back, this is originally my home, go back to your own home, do you still need to greet you from an outsider?" ”

Saying that, Xia Zhijiu didn't care how ugly Lin's face was, he turned around and went to the study directly, leaving Lin standing in place with a pale face.

She has been in the Xia family for so many years, isn't she an outsider? The servants and the ladies of the family have always seen her, Mrs. Lin, not Mrs. Xia.

For so many years, she has never been reconciled, but what can she do if she is unwilling.

Even if the old man agreed with them to call her Mrs. Xia, those people in the Cen family would not agree.

In the past, these two brothers were still young, and she always thought that as long as these two brothers died, the old man would definitely accept her wholeheartedly, but because of the Cen family and the Mu family, she carefully made a few moves, but she didn't succeed, and she was almost caught by them.

Now that both of them have grown up, it is even more difficult to start.

Thinking of this, no matter how unwilling the Lin family was, he could only swallow that breath.

Xia Cheng was sitting in the old man's study with food at this time, and the old man looked at the book and didn't pay attention to him.

"Bang bang bang!" There was a knock on the door, and before the old man could speak, Xia Cheng spoke first, "Come in,"

Xia Zhijiu pushed the door of the door, saw Xia Cheng at a glance, and then looked at the old man who was reading with his head down, and immediately frowned: "Have you finished your homework?" ”

Xia Cheng looked at the person who came in, Xia Zhijiu hurriedly put down the food in his hand, and looked at him with a flattering smile: "Not yet, I'll go over and write it later, aren't I here to chat with my grandfather for a while?" ”

He has never done his homework, but he didn't dare to say it to this brother, after all, since he came to teach English to their class, as long as he assigned the homework he assigned, he would definitely finish it, and he wrote it very well.

But other subjects are different, of course I want to write when I'm happy, and when I'm unhappy, of course I'm too lazy to write.

"Don't go yet, I'll show it when I'm done with my homework today." Xia Zhijiu said with a cold smile on his face, he had seen the reputation of this younger brother as soon as he entered Zhicheng Middle School, but he was busy all this time, so he didn't have time to care about him.

Now that he has time, of course he is ready to discipline this younger brother well.

Xia Cheng sighed helplessly when he heard his words, and finally obediently walked out of the study, he had always only listened to this brother's words, otherwise Xia Zhijiu would have a way to clean him up.

Seeing Xia Cheng go out, the old man put down the book in his hand and pointed to the position opposite him to signal him to sit.

"You have been back to City A for so long, and the number of times you come to see me, an old man, is pitiful, and it is estimated that you will not spend much time with Xia Cheng, what have you been busy with lately?" The old man said and looked at Xia Zhijiu with a smile on his face, but he didn't directly ask him if he had a girlfriend.

After all, it's better for him to want Xia Zhijiu to say this kind of thing in person, and he asked it himself, he didn't want to say it, and he couldn't ask anything.

Xia Zhijiu smiled a little apologetically, and said in a low voice: "I just came back, I am not familiar with many places, and I have been socializing a lot recently." ”

The news of his return was not deliberately concealed, now that he is back, of course those people in the circle will get stuck with him when they get together, so it is true that there have been a lot of socials recently.

"That's right, it's good to get together with friends." The smile on the old man's face deepened by two points as he spoke.

What Xia Zhijiu hated the most before was these entertainments, so he rarely participated, unless it was a particularly good friend, but he didn't expect to go to the capital, but he changed a lot.

Xia Zhijiu looked at the old man's gaze and smiled, and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa called me over this time because there was something?" ”

Looking at the old man like this, his intuition told him that he must have been called over because of something.

"It's just that there are some things, I heard Xia Cheng say it, but he is not the party in the end, so I can't say it clearly, so I thought about asking you to come over and ask." The smile on the old man's face gradually became serious as he spoke.

Xia Zhijiu is the eldest son and eldest grandson of the Xia family, and he is the most beloved and optimistic grandson, his girlfriend is the future wife of the Xia family, he must ask clearly, if it is not right, he will definitely not agree.

Xia Zhijiu frowned when he heard this, he shouldn't have anything to do recently except for socializing at school, besides, he hasn't said a few words to Xia Cheng in the past two days.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhijiu was also a little puzzled, but after facing the old man's serious twilight, he still whispered: "Grandpa, you can say it." ”

"Xia Cheng said that you have a girlfriend at school." The old man got up from his seat as he spoke, put his hands behind his back, and said with some concern, "Of course I don't object to falling in love at your age, but I just don't know what kind of person that girl is, so I'm a little worried about you." ”

For his wife after Xia Zhijiu, he does not require that she must be from a famous family, the way must be right-hearted, what he is most afraid of is that Xia Zhijiu will sink into it, and he can't tell the good from the bad.

Xia Zhijiu listened to the old man's words and suddenly became even more puzzled, his girlfriend? When did he get a girlfriend?

The old man looked at Xia Zhijiu's appearance, and he was also puzzled: "What? Didn't Xia Cheng say that their homeroom teacher was your girlfriend? ”

He was very surprised when he first heard this, and he also thought about what kind of reaction he would have if he asked Xia Zhijiu, but after thinking about it so much, he didn't expect Xia Zhijiu to have this kind of reaction.

"Grandpa, you misunderstood, we are just friends, maybe Xia Cheng heard it when he was joking, he took it seriously." Xia Zhijiu smiled a little helplessly as he spoke, it turned out that the person the old man said was actually Gu Xizi.

The two of them are innocent, as for the words he said today, they are just teasing him, and those people at school are really annoying, if there is a "girlfriend" to help him block it, it should be good.

The old man looked at Xia Zhijiu who didn't want to deceive and joke, and suddenly laughed: "That should be Xia Cheng's mistake, when I heard Xia Cheng say before, I was happy for a long time and worried for a long time." ”

I'm glad that his wooden grandson has finally opened his mind, and I'm worried that he will meet bad people, but now it seems that he, an old man, thinks too much,

"When I have a girlfriend in the future, I will tell my grandfather as soon as possible, grandpa don't worry." Xia Zhijiu said with a faint smile on his face, and his right index finger rubbed the ring on the thumb of his left hand.

The old man nodded, but his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the ring on his hand, and he was stunned for a moment before he sat back opposite Xia Zhijiu, and persuaded softly: "Zhijiu, everything before has passed, I hope you don't just think about the past, think more about the present, Yunsheng has left ......"

"Grandpa!" Xia Zhijiu suddenly raised his voice to interrupt the old man's words, and then met the old man's gaze and forced himself to calm down, and then said in a low voice, "I know, grandpa, don't worry, I'll go see Xia Cheng first." ”

Without waiting for the old man to speak, he got up and walked out of the study, and the old man looked at his back and wanted to say a few words, but in the end he could only sigh.

Yun Sheng has been away for so long, Xia Zhijiu still doesn't want anyone to mention her in front of him, and when he heard Xia Cheng say that he has a friend, he really hopes that he has a girlfriend.

He sighed, looked at the book on the table, and suddenly felt upset.

On the other side, Xia Cheng was watching TV, but suddenly heard the sound of the door opening, thinking it was a servant, so Xia Cheng didn't raise his head and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, just come and see how your homework is doing." Xia Zhijiu said and sat next to Xia Cheng very naturally, his eyes on the TV.

At first glance, when he heard Xia Zhijiu's voice, Xia Cheng turned his head a little stiffly, looking at Xia Zhijiu's side face, he smiled a little embarrassedly: "Brother, why are you here, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Damn, I thought it was a servant, but I didn't expect it to be the ninth ...... of the summer solstice

"It's been a long time, but I didn't expect that the name of a good student has become like this." Xia Zhijiu said and turned his head and glanced at Xia Cheng lightly.

He had heard about his reputation as soon as he had returned, and had seen it with his own eyes.

In the past, Xia Cheng studied well, had a good reputation, and was good at everything, but now he is really 108,000 miles away from before.

Xia Cheng smiled, his face full of embarrassment: "I look like it's time for dinner, why don't we go down first, it doesn't seem good to let grandpa wait for us later,"

If he stayed here alone with Xia Zhijiu again, then he didn't know if he would be able to keep the smile he was now.

"There's no hurry." Xia Zhijiu said and pressed down Xia Cheng, who was about to get up, turned his head and looked at Xia Cheng with a smile and said softly, "I still haven't asked you about something, besides, the two of us brothers finally got together, and I believe that grandpa will definitely not say anything after talking for a while,"

The old man really wished that he and Xia Solstice Nine would get closer, and he really wouldn't say anything, but he didn't want to stay here alone with Xia Solstice Nine!
