"Well, very well, then don't let me see you pleading with me again. Alec patted him on the shoulder and whispered in his ear, "I will never forget how scared you were, my dear brother." ”

He deliberately said what Eric didn't want to hear, and after some provocation, he laughed very happily and walked away.

It seems that he has become accustomed to taunting each other like this with his brother, and he has grown up during this period, and he will not punch him in the face when he is irritable, nor will he show his anger through gritted teeth, but slowly endure it.

The next morning, someone came.

Xia Yining opened the door and saw a middle-aged man standing at the door, dressed with a small flat head, the hair on his sideburns was already white, there was some beard on his chin, eight-figure eyebrows, triangular eyes, his mouth was shriveled and unpresentable, he was wearing clothes from more than ten years ago, and there were some cracked wounds on his hands, which should have just grown.

The man smiled and asked her, "You are Yi Ning, you have grown so big, you look so good!"

Xia Yining nodded and looked at him embarrassedly.

After looking up and down carefully, no matter how she looked at it, there was no resemblance to her father, her father was tall and handsome, but the man in front of her, who claimed to be her uncle, was thin and old, and there was no half-similarity between his eyebrows and eyes, if he had to find a place, it was the nose, which was just as tall.

"Although you may not remember me, but when you were born, I also watched you, your father's affairs, don't be too sad, today, I came to pick you up, there is your cousin, grandpa. The man said, smiling.

The man's smile was particularly ugly, but Xia Yining could see that he should be full of expectations. She never knew that she had a grandfather, and as for that cousin, it should be the child of the man in front of her.

After all, the police have confirmed that he is his uncle, and if he behaves too indifferently, it seems that there is something unreasonable, so he can only tear his mouth open and smile, open the door and say, "Uncle...... Uncle, come in first......" The word uncle, she hasn't gotten used to it yet.

Xia Yining first brought him a cup of tea, and then sat with him for a while, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

In the end, it was Xia Yining's uncle who spoke first and said to her: "I think your father shouldn't have told you that I will tell you, my name is Zhao Yutong, and I am your father's brother, so it is completely correct for you to call me uncle." ”

Is the man in front of him really not his uncle? He blurted out that he didn't even make a draft when he lied.

But if it is really someone pretending, then what is the purpose, Xia Yi thought differently, but she couldn't go with a liar, so she knocked on the side and said: "Uncle, when I was born, you saw it, and you know what my name is!"

Zhao Yutong smiled, understood what she was alluding to, took a sip of tea, just looked like a rural old man, and now he actually said with a bit of pride: "You, you are really shrewd, you want to say, why is your father's surname Xia, but I, my surname is Zhao!" He is also an old fox, how could he not understand.

was pierced, and smiled a little embarrassedly, but this is indeed a question, why is it? Xia Yining's eyes widened, waiting for his answer.

Zhao Yutong fumbled in his pocket and took out a black and white photo, on which were photos of two boys, the taller boy had a serious look, hugging the lower boy, and the lower one was smiling very brightly.

Xia Yining tilted her head and looked at him puzzled.

"This is a picture of me and your dad when I was a kid, hehe, hey, he's with my mom, he's growing up. The implication is that her grandfather looks average, or else he is ugly.

After taking the photo, I took a closer look, and it was really similar to my father, eyes, mouth, I didn't expect her father to be so handsome and cute when he was a child, she finally knew why she looked so good, her parents' genes were too strong.

But he still didn't explain why they weren't the same surname.

"Your father was originally surnamed Zhao, but because of some things, he became Xia Yuhang, so you should also be called Zhao Yining. He sighed and said to her seriously: "Your father has been very enthusiastic since he was a child, Yi Ning, I'm sorry, you ......"

She didn't want to mention Xia Yuhang's affairs more, although she didn't know why her father didn't interact with her uncle, nor did she mention the family affairs to her, and even saw her mother's photo after he left, but she still chose, no matter what, she believed that her father had a reason.

"Uncle, Dad hopes I can be well. ”

"You pack up, if you have anything you need to bring, bring it all, Uncle doesn't lack anything, so you don't have too much luggage. Zhao Yutong put away the photos and looked around the house, it seems that they have lived a good life over the years and have not suffered much.

It was really a big shock to suddenly know that my brother had left this time, and it was simply unexpected.

Xia Yining's speed is very fast, in fact, she doesn't have anything to take, the most is the few books that his father has kept and the notebook that he gave her.

Sometimes, the car was already listening outside, Zhao Yutong looked at the two large boxes of luggage, and sighed: "There are so many things." ”

"I don't have many things, most of them are my father's books, some books he cherishes, I want to take with me, as a souvenir in the future. ”

She didn't tell anyone about today's departure, she didn't contact Mu An, she didn't tell Wang Chaobei, and even Eric didn't know, but she felt that Eric must be watching her leave in a corner.

The car was moving away, the train was slowly leaving here, they had to take the train for hours to get there, she was not familiar with the city in the first place, and now it was like a new place, but this time, there was one less person she knew.

Zhao Yutong patted her on the shoulder and asked, "Yi Ning, if you are sleepy, just go to sleep, and when you arrive, I will call you." ”

Xia Yining shook her head, took out her mobile phone and said, "Don't be sleepy, uncle, if you are sleepy, you will be fine, there are still three hours." ”

Zhao Yu informed that this child is very caring and has a good heart, but he has a rough background and is also a poor child.

Time flies quickly, just now I felt that it was far away, and I arrived at the station in a blink of an eye, Xia Yining wanted to help, but Zhao Yutong insisted that he could take it, two particularly large boxes, it was hard to see, and the things inside were real, but they were really carried by him with two hands, and it looked effortless.

Xia Yining admired him a little, although this uncle looked older than her father, he really had the strength, and he actually walked all the way for more than ten minutes.

I don't know what this uncle does, looking at his clothes, there shouldn't be any too rich life, I was relieved, because the most thing his father left was red banknotes, and he couldn't be stingy, if his uncle and grandfather were not doing well, she would definitely take it out to make up for it.

It's just that her thoughts are all seen by Zhao Yutong, this child's heart is really good, and being able to think of this shows that she is not a person who forgets her righteousness for profit and will betray others casually.

Relieved, he nodded quietly.

"Uncle, have you arrived, how far is it?" Xia Yining frowned and asked with some loss.

After walking for a long time, they did not call a taxi, parked in a residential area, there is a separate house, although it is not like a villa, but the appearance is very beautiful, the direction is also good, more importantly, the environment is beautiful, there are flowers and grass and trees, although it is autumn, but the chrysanthemums are in full bloom particularly vigorously.

Smelling the fragrance of flowers makes people feel refreshed, as if all of a sudden, they will forget all their sorrows, let their brains empty, and feel this moment of relaxation.

Zhao Yutong smiled, pointed to the largest house next to them, and said as he walked: "Hehe, we have arrived, let's come in, your grandfather is in a hurry to see you." ”

Looking at the house in front of her incredibly, this is the best house here, it is much more than the house they live in, Xia Yining has not seen the world, and she thinks that such a good house is too shocking, after all, her life is also very good.

It's just a little hard to imagine, living in such a good house, no matter how you look at the house, it is expensive, and it should be a big expense to be able to live, but my uncle's clothes, such a way of wearing, is unimaginable, saying that he came out of here, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

Follow behind, carefully walk in, the style inside is not very modern, but biased to the taste of the past, an antique feeling, not only the materials and styles used are antique, even the layout should be imitated the way it once was.

"Yi Ning, you wait first, I'll call grandpa, and I'll help you get your room first. Zhao Yutong said as he walked inside, Xia Yining wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to go in, so he could only give up.

In this comparison, it really has a different flavor. She looked around, her hand touching the table.

"This is red sandalwood, smell carefully, there is a faint fragrance, there is a calming effect. A sweet voice remembered.

"Who?" Xia Yining was startled by this voice when she was distracted, and accidentally called out.

Turning around, a white-faced scholar style boy stood there, his face was like jade, and he was smiling, the whole handsome guy looked like a gentle scholar, especially the white clothes, the fabric looked particularly soft.

The boy walked up to her and nodded slightly, smiling very well, as if he was born to smile, in order to be pleasing to the eye, Xia Yining also blushed and nodded a little embarrassed.

"You are cousin Yining, I am your cousin, three months older than you, my name is Zhao Yunxiao. ”

"You, hello, my name is Xia Yining, or, Zhao Yining......" I felt a little rude, I lowered my head and didn't dare to raise it, this is to blame on her uncle, and she didn't know what her surname should be.
