Chapter 32: The First Heart-to-Heart

"I'm back, I'm going to wash my hands and get ready for dinner. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" My cousin looked at Su You, whose eyes were red like a rabbit, and when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them back raw.

Su You barely pulled a smile from his tired face, he knew that his cousin was actually worried about him, "Auntie, don't worry, I'm fine, I'll go wash my hands." With that, he walked into the bathroom.

Su Zuo also watched Su You stagger into the bathroom and wanted to follow.

"Zuo Yi", it was my cousin who spoke.

Su Zuo also turned to look at the graceful and luxurious woman in front of her, the years had left almost no traces on her face, much younger than her actual age, but at this moment her face was full of worry, she seemed to be a few years older than when she first met him, he stared at each other like this, and did not make a sound.

"Ayou, this child was born with a hard life, and both parents died when he was young, and you must know this," the woman said, tilting her head and taking a deep breath, as if trying to hold back the tears that were about to fall, "Although he lives in our house, and although I regard him as my own, that child never wants to open his heart to us, and everything is handled by himself, and I, as an aunt, am also distressed..." But as long as he's happy, we don't care, but, you know? When he comes back this time, he has changed a lot..."As she spoke, the woman looked at Su Zuoyi.

"Change?" Su Zuo was also surprised.

"In the past few days, I have found that the child will only show an expression that should belong to his age in front of you, when we were in front of us before, he was sensible, and his uncle and I also hope that he can be like other children, occasionally coquettish with us, a temper tantrum or something, but Ayou he is too well-behaved, he is cautious when facing us, and we are careful not to approach his side."

"That's it!" Su Zuo also looked thoughtfully at the bathroom, the door was still closed.

"I don't mean anything else today, it's just that as an elder, I hope that Ayou can live like an ordinary child, so I'll ask you in the future to care about him and open his heart, okay?" Tears crossed her fair face, and the woman didn't wipe it, looking at Su Zuoyi intently.

"En", Su Zuo also replied, walking to the bathroom.

Walking to the door, Su You happened to come out of it.

"Uncle? You're washing your hands, too! I'm waiting for you here, you hurry up. Su Youbi was a lot more energetic just now, and his eyes were not so red, probably because he washed his face just now.

Su Zuo also nodded, walked inside and washed his hands, "Just now your aunt said that you have changed a lot. Su Zuo also felt the chill brought by the biting cold water across the back of his hand, and said flatly.

"Oh, yes, what did she say?" Su You lowered his hands and leaned against the door frame.

"She said you're getting lively." Su Zuo didn't plan to tell Su You the content of the conversation, you know, how could he, who had been mixed with Su You since he was a child, not know about Su You's changes, and how could he not feel distressed! It's just that there are some words that are better buried in your heart.

"Is there one? I don't feel anything. ”

"Have you two washed your hands? Hurry up and come over for dinner! "From the cafeteria came my aunt's voice.

"Hey, it's coming!" Su You replied, looked back at the uncle, who had already cleaned up, and walked towards the restaurant together.

"From now on, you can't go anywhere, make dumplings with me at night, and pick up God when the time comes." At the dinner table, my aunt said to the group of young people in a stern voice.

Yi Shui, as your returned child, didn't know what kind of custom this was at all, and looked at Su Youtou questioningly.

Su You also noticed Yi Shui's gaze, swallowed the food in his mouth three or two, and explained: "This is our custom here, every Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone rarely goes out, at night the family gathers around to make dumplings, and then will pick an appropriate time to 'pick up God', that is, to welcome the God of Wealth, in the new year to please a good lottery, when receiving God, we have to set off firecrackers, cook dumplings, and then everyone eats together, basically that's it." Su You said everything he knew, and he didn't know if Yi Shui understood.

"But, I don't know how to make dumplings." Yi Shui looked at his cousin.

My cousin smiled like a spring breeze: "It's okay, my aunt will teach you later, it's very simple, don't worry, Xiao Yi."

As soon as seven o'clock in the evening, my cousin couldn't wait to pull Yi Shui into the kitchen, and called this nephew and daughter-in-law "dumplings", in fact, she wanted to explore the origin of this "rich daughter", and also checked Su You by the way. Su You looked at his cousin with a look of "no other intention", sighed, and pulled Su Zuoyi into the kitchen.

"Why is it just you, where is your cousin going crazy again?" The cousin asked Su You with a serious face.

Su You recalled that when he had just had lunch, Jiang Ling was sneaking around in the room and didn't know what he was doing, and when his cousin asked like this, Su You knew a rough idea.

"Maybe my cousin is in the room, I'll take a look."

Su You came to Jiangling's room, pushed the door and saw that a cool air was blowing in his face, Su You couldn't help but shiver, the window was wide open, the sheets were twisted into a rope and went down from the window, where was there still a trace of his cousin, and he didn't know where to go crazy for a long time.

Su You stepped forward and closed the window, not locked, afraid that when Jiangling came back at night, he would still come back from this window, and even the sheets were placed untouched.

"Ayou, what is your cousin doing?" From the kitchen came my cousin's inquiry.

"Auntie, Xiaoling is playing LOL, so I'm not embarrassed to disturb." Su You returned to the kitchen, sat at one end of the table, and arranged the dumplings they had wrapped one by one.

"It's finally finished, but I can take a break......" Su You stretched his waist, pinched his pantothenic shoulder, and said tiredly.

"Okay, okay, you guys also go out for a walk, don't think I don't know Xiaoling and he slipped out to play again, you finally came back once, Ayou, you take your uncle to meet your friends too, Yi Shui just stay and watch TV with me." With that, my cousin kicked them out of the house.

It's embarrassing to mention the word friend, Su You has never had any friends since he was a child, some are just enemies and passers-by, of course, he doesn't want his uncle to know, so he stood at the door in a daze and racked his brains to think.

"Let's go see the dragon rain." The uncle looked at Su You, who had a bitter face, and knew Su You's difficulties, so he proposed to see Long Yu.

This sentence seemed to be a life-saving straw, Su You nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, this kid is enjoying happiness at home, I don't know if it's all cool, I have to go and see, I have to go and see." ”

"When I was young, I don't know if it was because I lost my parents at a young age, all the children alienated me and bullied me, and I put up with them once, twice, three times...... Finally one day, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I pushed the big fat man who always took the lead in bullying me into the river, and didn't rescue him until he was discovered by adults," Su You looked at the road on the ground in front of him, kicked the empty cans on his feet, and said casually, as if all this was just him telling other people's stories, "That big fat man was severely frostbitten, and since then, his left leg has been limping, and when he sees me again, it's like a mouse seeing an old cat, hehe, you say it's ridiculous... …”

Su You reluctantly told his story, although the uncle was still walking on the side in front of him without responding, but Su You knew, and the uncle was listening carefully.

Su Zuo also walked silently, and he listened to every word of his young nephew in his heart. When he first met Su You, and when he saw Su You with loneliness in his eyes, he asked himself if it was because of his departure that the kind-hearted Su family suffered a catastrophe, or if the Su family had already fallen into the full set of thieves when he took him in. All in all, Su You, the only descendant of the Su family, must be protected and will not let him receive the slightest harm.

Long Yu's home is a single-family, two-story retro building about an hour's journey from Su You's cousin's house, and from the outside, including the structure of the courtyard, there is not much extravagant decoration. The entrance is a small domestic ornamental fountain, flanked by tall black pines, and the lawn is covered with thick vegetation, but it is also covered with a layer of snow at this time, and it should be a good pleasure to lie on in summer.

This is the first time Su You has visited Long Yu's family, they were all in the countryside before, and the two children were mixed together all day long, at that time, he just knew that Long Yu's parents were taekwondo masters, and the family was very good, and he never realized that Long Yu was a rich second generation. When he grew up, Long Yu always lived outside alone, and he often pulled Su You to accompany him, because his parents often worked overtime and traveled on business trips, and the days spent in hotels were longer than those at home throughout the year.

"I didn't know until today that this kid Dalong turned out to be a rich second generation, no, I have to pay for hard work with him for so many years, and knock him hard!" Su You turned his face sideways and looked at the uncle, and said seriously.

Seeing his nephew tell a joke like this, Su Zuo also felt very funny, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Huh? Brother-in-law? You laughed? What are you laughing at? What's wrong with what I'm saying? Looking at Su Zuoyi's smile that had barely appeared, Su You was furious.

While he was talking and laughing, the door opened, and the owner heard the sound.

"Ayou, when I heard it, it was your boy's voice, what kind of wind blew you here?" Before Su You could react, a black shadow rushed out of the house and pounced on Su You's body, Su You was defenseless and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, the uncle next to him helped him.

"Damn, Dalong, you bastard, Lao Tzu came to see you with good intentions, but as soon as I saw you, I almost turned my face to see Grandpa Hades!" As he spoke, Su You kicked Long Yu to the side and rubbed his neck that had just been hugged by Long Yu.

"Aren't I overjoyed, who asked you to come to see me, you don't know, I'm going crazy when I'm stuck at home this day, but fortunately, a few brothers came to save me!" Da Long said as he handed a welcoming look to Su Zuoyi behind him, who nodded slightly.

Su You glanced at Dalong and stopped arguing with him, "Are uncles and aunts at home?" ”

"No, they haven't been home for almost a month, and they probably have forgotten that there is a son like me." Dalong pouted unhappily like a child.

Hearing this, Su You was forbidden, and hurriedly asked, "Then what should you do when you eat?" It can't be instant noodles that I've eaten for a month, right? ”

"Haha, how is it possible, come on, come on, it's weird cold outside, go, go into the house and warm up." As he spoke, he pulled Su You and Su Zuoyi into the house.

Like the exterior, the decoration of the lobby on the first floor is simple, but it does not lose the atmosphere, which makes people feel relaxed and comfortable.

Su You and Uncle sat down on the sofa in the center of the park, Su You still looked around, "Hey, I said Dalong, your home is good, this decoration must cost a lot of money, right?" I didn't see it, it turns out that you are still a rich second generation! ”

Da Long, who was coming over with hot coffee, also glanced around with Su You's gaze, and said: "These are all left by my grandfather, if only I was a rich second generation, I can make all kinds of girls, why bother pretending to be a rich second generation like now, no one believes it yet." Dalong handed the coffee to the two of them and took a sip himself.

"I've never heard you mention what your grandfather does. It was not easy for him to save such a large villa in his time. Su You asked.

"I don't know exactly what it is, but it seems to have something to do with archaeology, because my grandfather died shortly after I was born, and my parents didn't allow me to ask around, and I only found out by secretly asking my grandmother, but my grandmother also passed away a few years ago." Dalong gave a bitter smile.

Su You didn't ask more questions in his eyes, Dalong's family background is very good, in the eyes of outsiders, this is an enviable family, but after all, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and others will never know the difficulties of their own family.

The two chatted hotly in the hall, and Su Zuo listened attentively on the side, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two, until it was about to get dark, and Su You was reluctant to leave.

It was in front of Da Long and Uncle that Su You had the expression he should have at his age.
