Re-enter the Xiao Mansion
Another week passed, and when it was the day to return to the Xiao family's house, Xiao Ling drove, with Lin Yi in the co-pilot, Vivian and Pete in the back, galloping on the highway in the suburbs.
Pete's dog head looked out excitedly through the car window, and the tongue that spit out fluttered in the wind, Vivian and Xiao Ling were also very excited, and cheerful tracks were playing in the car stereo, only Lin Yi was a little worried in his heart, he was already a little afraid of Xiao Ling's father, since he was arrested last time, he was even shorter in front of Xiao Yunshan, like an angry little daughter-in-law.
The vehicle turned into the gate of Xiao Mansion, Lin Yi saw that the courtyard was very deserted, no wonder, the first time I came here is Xiao Ling's seventeenth birthday, the whole Xiao Mansion is brightly lit and lively, the second time I came to Xiao Ling's eighteenth birthday, it is also the same lively, it is the first time to come here on weekdays, there is no special celebration of Xiao Zhai, it is big and deserted, the bushes and lawns in the courtyard are meticulously trimmed, the plane tree grows taller, outside the culvert where Xiao's parents live, the leafy creeper is covered with a wall, it is very beautiful and elegant.
"Uncle Zhao," Xiao Ling nodded to the housekeeper waiting at the door, and after Lin Yi let a baby and a dog get out of the car, he also walked up with a smile, he remembered that the second time he came to Xiao's house was the Pine Garden Pavilion that Uncle Zhao led him to.
"Come back more in the future, you see how deserted this courtyard is, Mr. Xiao and Mrs. miss you." Uncle Zhao looked at Xiao Ling with a kind face, and then looked back at Lin Yi.
"Hello! Uncle Zhao, I'm Lin Yi, and this is my daughter Vivian."
"Hello grandpa!" Vivian took Lin Yi with his small hand and greeted him generously.
Uncle Zhao smiled and nodded at the two, opened the door and invited everyone in, Bai Su was sitting in the living room near the window and fiddling with her flowers and plants, and when she saw the arrival, a kind smile bloomed on her face.
"Xiao Ling, Lin Yi, Vivian, you're finally here"
"Hello grandma!" Vivian looked at Bai Su with a smile, children are very sensitive to people's aura, and she instinctively felt that the person in front of her would be her good partner.
Bai Su was also happy to see this pink-carved doll, "Good baby, no wonder your grandfather likes you when he sees you, it's really a little sweetheart." ”
"Mom, where is Dad?" Xiao Ling asked.
"In the study, I said that when you come over, let Lin Yi come in and find him." Bai Su teased the child and said casually.
Lin Yi's face showed a hint of nervousness, and he tried his best to hide it, "I passed that aunt." ”
Bai Su nodded slightly, and when Lin Yi turned around, he glanced at Xiao Ling for help, and Xiao Ling gave him an understanding look.
Lin Yi knocked lightly on the door of the study, "Come in." Xiao Yunshan's voice sounded low, and he couldn't hear his emotions, Lin Yi cautiously pushed the door in, and saw Xiao Yunshan frowning and staring in front of the chess board.
"Will it go down?" Xiao Yunshan asked without raising his head.
"A little." Lin Yi replied honestly.
"Come and sit down, and accompany me for two plates." Xiao Yunshan rearranged the chessboard.
Lin Yi sat down, wanting to ease the awkward atmosphere between the two sides, "Uncle Xiao, let's bet on winning or losing." ”
"How to bet?"
"......." Lin Yi thought about it, and it was said that a frank meeting would be conducive to breaking the ice in the relationship, so he tried to ask: "Take off a piece of clothing if you lose a game?" ”
Xiao Yunshan squinted at Lin Yi, and Lin Yi quickly retracted his neck.
"You bastard boy really ..... think I'm going to be scared?!"
After the first game, Xiao Yunshan's coat was taken off, and after the second game, Xiao Yunshan took off his shoes, and the third game was ...... By the fourth game, Xiao Yunshan couldn't help it and roared, "Do you know a little bit?" ”
Lin Yi is wronged, he really just knows a little!
Xiao Yunshan craned his neck and looked at the window, "Ah! Vivian fell."
Lin Yi hurriedly ran to the window and looked out, except for a few sparrows that fell on the grass, there was no figure in the yard, and when he returned to his position to look at the chessboard, he puffed out his cheeks angrily.
The old god of Xiao Yunshan flicked his fingers there: "You have to learn to hide your expression." ”
"Compared to you, I am a baby, and I have the right to reveal my true feelings...."
Syllable! Without waiting for Lin Yi to finish speaking, another slap was slapped on the back of his head, Lin Yi almost fell forward, and then Xiao Ling pushed the door in with Vivian and Bai Su in his arms, and saw Xiao Yunshan teaching Lin Yi barefoot barefoot.
"Stinky boy, don't you know how to respect your elders?! Does playing cards and chess with your elders make you win? You have to lose skillfully when you lose, and you don't understand this? Every time he said a word, he fell into the face, and Lin Yi, who was patting, hugged his head and screamed.
"Ahhh Can you stop hitting me in the back of the head all the time, I'm stupid and lose all of your Xiao family! ”
"What did you say, stinky boy? You tell me again?! Xiao Yunshan patted Lin Yi's hand at an unabated speed, and continued to pat it bang.
Xiao Ling and her mother looked at each other and smiled, exited the room, closed the door, and let the two people in the study exchange their feelings in a special way.
At lunchtime, Lin Yi shook his dizzy head, came to the restaurant, and when he saw the dishes in front of him, his eyes suddenly lit up, his saliva flooded, he raised his eyes and looked around, and when he saw Uncle Zhao, he found that he cleared his throat and turned to leave.
"Why is today's dish so greasy? Either sweet or meat? Xiao Yunshan was a little dissatisfied.
“……..”
“.…….”
No one answered him, and everyone bowed their heads.
"Vivian come over here," Xiao Yunshan put the prawns on a plate and carried the child to the chair next to him.
"Grandpa eats."
Vivian directly grabbed the prawns with his small hands and stuffed them into Xiao Yunshan's mouth, Lin Yi was surprised to see that Xiao Yunshan actually opened his mouth to take it, and was touched by Vivian with sauce and touched the child's head approvingly.
At this time, Lin Yi felt that the most favored person in the Xiao family was Vivian, the person with the lowest status....Could it be himself?
stayed in Xiao's house for a day, and when he left at night, Xiao Yunshan was already playing with Vivian on his back, and it took a long time to pull Vivian away from her favorite grandfather's back, and she fell asleep in the car on the way back.
The next morning, after Lin sent Vivian to the school bus, he rushed back upstairs, squatted beside Xiao Ling's bed, and looked at Xiao Ling who was huddled in a ball with a worried face.
I don't know if it was because the night breeze blew too much yesterday, and Xiao Ling got a bad cold.
"Is it uncomfortable?" Lin Yi said and put his hand on Xiao Ling's forehead.
"Uh-huh...," Xiao Ling replied vaguely.
"How....what should I do? Going to the hospital? Lin Yi was flustered, and he couldn't think of anything he should have done, by the way, Xiao Ling had a fever before, and he took care of it once, ice pillows, wet towels, antipyretics, and gruel..... so he hurried to act as soon as he thought of it.
Give Xiao Ling the ice pillow and wet towel to use, feed the medicine, Lin Yi squatted on the side of the bed and guarded, Xiao Ling's eyes opened a slit, feeling that Lin Yi was about to cry, he was really worried about his appearance, although he was unwell, he was very useful in his heart.
It turns out that happiness is these trivial things, but ..... although it is so....It's really cold, shouldn't you keep him warm and make him sweat at this time? It doesn't matter, because it was given by Lin Yi, Xiao Ling's whole body trembled, gritting his teeth and persevering.
"Xiao Ling....Xiao Ling!" Lin called one by one, and Xiao Ling sat up trembling all over.
"What's going on? You seem to be more serious? ”
Xiao Ling raised her hand and took a tissue, wiped the frozen snot, and said with a black line, "No... It's okay....don't worry, ahem...."
"What! And just worse than the state!! Let's eat some of this first..."Lin Yi brought the porridge over.
"Is it cooked for me?"
"Well, you can't go without food all the time! Eat it! ”
"Thanks... Thank you! ”
Xiao Ling held the hot bowl and was moved, Lin Yi obviously didn't even know how to cook, so he actually made porridge for him, picked up a spoon and put colorful pasty objects into his mouth.
Burst! Suddenly, he turned his head sideways, like a Coke that had been shaking for a long time to open a can, and it squirted out in an instant.
"Ahem!! Belch! Ahem! "Covering his mouth and coughing.
"What's wrong?!" Lin Yi said nervously.
"No, it's not, ahem... cough cough cough...."Xiao Ling denied it on her lips and cursed in her heart, why does it taste like this!! it! Do you make porridge with?! Murder of your own husband?!
"Does it smell weird? I'll try it too! Lin Yi picked up the porridge bowl guiltily, scooped up a spoonful and was about to send it to his mouth, but was snatched away by Xiao Ling.
"No! Lin Yi, it's delicious!! Let go!! Xiao Ling gulped the porridge into her mouth, forcibly swallowed the vomiting, and poured it directly into her throat, thinking that if Lin Yi ate such a thing, maybe he would really go into shock and die——!!
After eating the porridge cooked by Lin Yi, Xiao Ling lay back on the bed half-dead, and saw the petals on the windowsill fluttering and falling, bitter and desolate, as if she saw her old age.
"Xiao Ling, your state has become worse." Lin Yi lay on the head of the bed with extreme worry, "Go to the hospital, if you can't move, call an ambulance." ”
"Heh....hehe...no....it's okay, it's winter, I'll always catch a cold, it's good to wake up..... don't leave me alone....."
"Xiao Ling......."
Lin Yi was so sad that he was about to cry, he had never seen Xiao Ling so uncomfortable, when Xiao Ling's mobile phone rang on the bedside table, and Lin Yi picked it up.
"Oh, oh....Auntie"
"Yes, it's you, Lin Yi, what about Xiao Ling?"
"That, that, what should I do, aunt..."
The tension on the other side of the phone increased, "What's wrong?" Quarreled? ”
"No, it's not like that....."
Lin Yi took his mobile phone and walked to the window, Xiao Ling looked anxious, no, Lin Yi, you can't tell your mother, you will definitely rush over.....
"Even if I have a fever and cough, I don't go to the hospital and lie in bed......"
After a phone call, Lin Yi happily returned to Xiao Ling's side, "Aunt said that she was coming, do I want to prepare something to eat, it is far from your house here, I will definitely stay for lunch!" ”
Xiao Ling smiled awkwardly on her face, and shouted frantically in her heart, don't! Murderer Ah, Lin Yi!
Lin Yi was busy in the kitchen, cutting the potatoes and beef into pieces and putting them in the cooking pot, and adding some of the various seasonings that Xiao Ling would put in, feeling that the color was not beautiful enough, he threw a few green vegetables into it, cooked it for a long time, and said to himself: "This is done, the color looks good." ”
Xiao Ling quietly hid at the door, holding on to the wall and barely standing, her heart was about to blurt out, don't look at the color, Lin Yi! To taste it! If he said he would do it, Lin Yi would definitely press him back to bed, if his mother ate the food made by Lin Yi.....
Will this be the grave of all of us today.....?
"Ahh No more fruits! Going to buy it! As soon as Lin opened the refrigerator and looked at it, he turned off the gas and hurried out.
Xiao Ling hid, and after Lin Yi left, he quickly picked up the messy clothes on the sofa and on the ground, thinking to himself, if he cleaned it, he would think that Lin Yi did it! The next time Dad sees Lin Yi, he won't chase after him! After cleaning up the living room, I came to the kitchen, took some soup made by Lin Yi with a soup spoon, and put it in my mouth.
Burst! Coke bursts again.
…….
An hour later, Bai Su and Lin Yi entered the house with a smile and a smile, Bai Su was surprised when he saw the neat and clean room, "It's very clean!" ”
Lin Yiyi wondered, is it so clean?
"Lin Yi, did you cook this?" Bai Su picked up the soup spoon and tasted the beef broth in the pot.
"Ah, yes!" Lin Yi hurriedly followed.
"It's delicious, I heard you don't know how to cook."
"Is it delicious?" Lin Yi also hurriedly took a soup spoon, took a bite and put it into his mouth, and his heart was suddenly clear, woo! It's really delicious! Obviously the first time to cook....
Lin Yi's children's hearts bloomed, and the house was unconsciously cleaned up, and the cooking was also at this level! He thinks maybe he will be unexpectedly good at living!
Xiao Ling, who was lying on the bed on the second floor, was weak and only had one breath left, and Bai Su nagged distressed when he saw Xiao Ling's appearance, "Just listen to Lin Yi!" Why not go to the hospital? Even if you want to get an injection, you have to get it well! Well? ”
Xiao Ling was powerless to reply, and lay down a tear silently.
"This, let's give it to him when Xiao Ling is rested!" Bai Su handed a white box to Lin Yi.
"Cake? Auntie, why does Xiao Ling like sweets so much? ”
"I guess it's because of a memory from my childhood!"
"Memory? What is it? Please tell the story of Xiao Ling when she was a child! ”
"Mom!" Xiao Ling said weakly, "I want to sleep." ”
Bai Su smiled, he was driving me away, "In the future, you ask him yourself, Lin Yi, as soon as I see you, I will remember the words in the Book of Songs." The peach is dying, scorching its glory. The son is home, and it is appropriate for him to live in his room. The peach is dying, and there is a fact. The son is home, and his family room is appropriate. The peach is dying, and its leaves are blooming. The son is home, and it is suitable for his family. You have to listen to Lin Yi well, you know? ”
Bai Su explained to Xiao Ling, and then went downstairs to eat the beef soup that Lin Yi specially made for her before leaving.
Lin Yi returned to the bedroom and sat next to Xiao Ling, holding an apple that had only been peeled and only the shell was left.
"What is that bunch of words that Mom said?" Xiao Ling asked.
"Oh, my aunt praised me for being a good daughter-in-law." Lin Yi handed the husk to Xiao Ling.
"Heh....hehe....." Xiao Ling laughed dryly twice and closed her eyes.
If you beat him to death, he won't admit that his good daughter-in-law is him.
