Zhu Youning thought about it and understood.

Hangzhou prefect is such a big official, in the hearts of the people of Pingtou, it is the same existence as the "soil emperor", since the old lady Bai recognized the prefect of Lu, and the prefect of Lu was willing to stand up and speak for her and her father, he must feel puzzled, this time maybe he went out to find out the news.

However, her grandmother would directly say that she would keep the meal, which made Zhu Youning feel surprised.

Their family of three has suffered for a year outside, being suppressed and excluded everywhere, and they are almost forgetting the taste of meat when they are living in poverty.

When the Bai family's servant took the Bai family away that day, she threw Zhu Youning on an unfamiliar street, and it was still pouring rain.

Danfan, who is a grandmother, cares a little about Zhu Youning, won't she secretly send someone to ask about her granddaughter's life or death?

But my grandmother didn't.

Moreover, my grandmother, who was a mother, did not object to forcing Bai to remarry the old widower, but she was worried that Bai would lose her life by forcibly slipping on a tire, so she secretly saved her life.

Therefore, in Zhu Youning's heart, the indifference to his grandfather and grandmother is like a mirror.

However, for the fact that his grandmother saved his mother's life, although it was also his grandmother's mood as a mother, Zhu Youning also wanted to be grateful.

Zhu Youning's mind was racing, but it was actually just a blink of an eye.

Zhu Huating recovered from his momentary surprise and said to Zhu Youning with a smile: "Fu Ya'er, since your grandmother has ordered it, you should go and ask for a good night, and your father is waiting for you here." The two big treasurers are waiting for your instructions, and the time for the appointment is almost up. ”

Mother Fang blinked in surprise when she heard this.

First, she didn't expect Zhu Huating to refuse to stay for dinner, and she didn't plan to go to the old lady to say goodbye.

Second, Fang's mother is also very strange about the "two big shopkeepers" in Zhu Huating's mouth.

Wasn't Zhu Huating's family kicked out? The poor outside are about to drink the wind and eat the soil, where did the big shopkeeper come from and ask Zhu Youning, a seven-year-old girl, to show him?

No matter what Fang's mother thought, Zhu Youning immediately understood what Zhu Huating meant when she heard this.

Presumably, my father's heart understands better than her, a newcomer, that my father must have a deeper understanding of the indifference to foreign families when he has no way to ask for help.

What's more, if my father goes in with him now, he won't have to eat a meal of steaks. It's better not to go in and bring shame on yourself.

Zhu Youning smiled and nodded: "Okay, Daddy, you wait here, I'll go and say hello to my grandmother and come out." ”

Bai's eyebrows frowned slightly, looked at Zhu Huating sadly, and said in a low voice: "Master, aren't you going to have lunch together?" ”

Zhu Huating raised his hand to straighten the hosta hairpin that slipped off the sideburns for the Bai family, and said softly: "Today's time is really urgent, and there has been some delay outside the door, if you let the two shopkeepers wait for a long time, it will be rude, and there will be plenty of time to say goodbye to my mother-in-law another day." ”

The Bai family didn't want Zhu Huating to be ridiculed, so he nodded, turned around and instructed Fang's mother: "Then bother my mother to take Fu Ya'er in to greet her grandmother, and I'll go back later." ”

Bai wanted to spend more time with Zhu Huating.

Zhu Youning grimaced at his father, then turned around and called Fang's mother and went to the second gate together.

Zhu Huating's face was hot when he was made by his daughter, and he couldn't help laughing and reprimanding: "This girl is becoming more and more lawless." Having said that, Zhu Huating still likes Zhu Youning's transformation very much.

Bai couldn't help but smile, took Zhu Huating's hand and instructed again.

※※※

Zhu Youning followed Fang's mother all the way into the second door, and went straight to the upper room, and the servants and maids she saw on the road all looked at her with curious eyes, and some of them would stop and salute if they recognized her.

Zhu Youning found that the servants of the Bai family knew her more than the Zhu family.

In my memory, in the past, my father was still the eldest master of the Zhu family, and when the scenery was infinite, relatives from other families were very enthusiastic about their family.

Not to mention that my grandfather and grandmother were kind to my father, my uncle and aunt would often get together with my father for dinner and drink.

Even among the grandchildren, Mrs. Bai also holds her granddaughter a lot, and often praises her sensible and well-behaved in front of several granddaughters of the Bai family, and the cousins who make trouble don't like her very much.

However, in the past year, her uncles and aunts have not appeared in her memory.

Zhu Youning shook his head and smiled.

The two extreme attitudes before and after are really a capital "the world is hot and cold".

"Old lady, Miss Zhu is here." Fang's mother lifted the light green oleander curtain and led Zhu Youning into the house.

Directly in front of the door is a large interstitial screen of a pineapple wood carved maid's vase.

Turning the screen, facing a piece of case, a blue and white porcelain vase is placed on the left and right sides of the case, which is inserted with new flowers, and the picture of flowers hanging on the wall is very appropriate.

When I turned to the side room, I saw the old lady Bai sitting cross-legged on the three-circumference arhat bed near the window, wearing round glasses and squinting at the purse pattern in her hand.

A pretty fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl whispered to the side, and two other younger girls also joined in. I don't know what to say to make Mrs. Bai happy, and the three of them laughed.

The eldest aunt in her early forties who was sitting on the rose chair next to her and the sixth aunt who was about the same age as the Bai family also laughed.

I saw Zhu Youning coming. The eldest aunt smiled and said to the old lady: "Mother thinks about Fu Ya'er all day long, isn't this person coming?" ”

Only then did the old lady put down the purse in her hand, took off her glasses and looked at Zhu Youning, and her smile faded.

The three cousins also leisurely stepped aside or stood or sit, muttering to each other.

"Say hello to my grandmother."

Zhu Youning saluted, and then did not intend to give Old Lady Bai a chance to speak first, and immediately said: "Grandmother, my mother lives in your house these days, and I thank you for taking care of me, and my granddaughter and my father are very grateful. In a few days we will come to pick up my mother, and I will have to bother my grandmother to take care of my mother these days, so that you will have to worry more. ”

The delicate and pretty little girl stood on the ground, her back straight, and she said these words neither humbly nor arrogantly, as if she was not wearing coarse cloth clothes, and the incident with Zhu Huating had not happened at home.

She didn't mean to curry favor, nor did she have the intention of rejecting people thousands of miles away, she just simply thanked Mrs. Bai, and there was no extra word, but Mrs. Bai didn't know what to say for a while.

When Mrs. Bai thought of the recent events, her face was a little hot, and she said embarrassedly: "It's a matter of saying this." ”

Seeing the look of the old lady Bai, the sixth aunt snorted lightly at the right time, and said mockingly:

"Take it back? It's easy to say, can't we take our aunt and grandmother back and continue to eat bran vegetables? What else do you have in your house now? I'm afraid that I can't eat enough noodles, so I'm embarrassed to say with a shy face that I will pick up people? ”
