"Zong Yun? How did you end up here? Lin Xiaowan ran to Zong Yun very happily, and when he saw him in sportswear, he couldn't help but ask, "You won't live here too, will you?" ”

"I'll just stay." Zong Yun casually pointed to the building on the side.

Lin Xiaowan swept to the side, full of surprise: "Where do you live?!" ”

She felt that a person of Zong Yun's status would have to live in a big villa.

Zong Yun understood what she meant, and said with a smile: "I usually live alone, and I don't like the feeling of being empty at home. ”

"Your family ......"

"It's all abroad."

Lin Xiaowan felt strange: "Aren't you reunited during the Spring Festival?" ”

"My parents have been staying abroad, and they value Christmas more than the Spring Festival, and we spent Christmas together."

"I see." Lin Xiaowan expressed his understanding, and then praised, "I didn't expect you to be so handsome in sportswear." ”

"You praise me like this, if you hear it to the 'person with a heart', you must have an idea."

"I don't have an idea." Yan Lingyun stood aside and chuckled, looking at Zong Yun's eyes full of approval.

Lin Xiaowan was shocked to see that her mother's expression was wrong, and hurriedly pointed to Zong Yun and introduced: "Mom, this is my friend Zong Yun." ”

She deliberately put the word "friend" in a heavy bite.

"Hello aunt, I'm a friend of Xiaowan." Zong Yun pretended not to understand Yan Lingyun's eyes, and greeted generously.

"Don't bother you to exercise, I'll walk around with my mother." Lin Xiaowan understood her mother's hatred for her, so in order to avoid her mother's misunderstanding, she waved her hand at Zongyun after speaking, and forced her mother to move forward.

After walking a few meters, Yan Lingyun pointed to the steamed bun shop not far away and asked, "Wanwan, I don't know if this steamed bun shop sells three fresh buns, I haven't eaten them for a long time." ”

Lin Xiaowan knew that her mother liked to eat three fresh buns the most, so she immediately asked her to wait in place and ran to buy buns by herself. When I came back from buying steamed buns, I didn't see my mother, so I hurriedly dialed my mother's phone.

"Wanwan, I remembered that I didn't buy the red envelope that gave you the New Year's money, so you hurry up and go to the supermarket."

"Mom, I'm all working, how can I still ......"

"This is the rule, please be lucky, go quickly, I will go upstairs by myself in a while."

"Do you remember which building our house is on which floor?"

"Mom is not old and confused, go and come back quickly, I have to post Spring Festival couplets in the afternoon."

Seeing that her mother hung up the phone, Lin Xiaowan didn't think much about it, went to the supermarket at the entrance of the community, bought some snacks, and was about to go home, when she received a call from Sun Xinxin, the two of them scalded the phone porridge for a while before turning around and going home. Smelling the smell of food as she entered, she put down her things and went straight to the kitchen.

Yan Lingyun pushed her out: "The meal will be good for a while, go watch TV for a while, don't eat too many snacks." ”

"Got it." Lin Xiaowan stuck out his tongue, turned on the TV, took two packs of snacks, pulled a pillow, curled up on the sofa, watched TV while eating, and glanced at the busy figure in the kitchen from time to time, bursting with happiness.

After lunch, Lin Xiaowan took out the Spring Festival couplets and window flowers.

Yan Lingyun saw the red pile of things, and asked with a smile: "Do you know why Xiao Yu always came to help our family paste couplets so early before?" ”

"It's fun."

Yan Lingyun shook her head: "Our custom here, in addition to reunion on Chinese New Year's Eve, is also a day to collect debts, and at the end of the year, everything that should be repaid must be repaid." But if people post the Spring Festival couplets on that day, according to custom, they can no longer collect debts on this day, and they have to wait for the next year. In the past two years, our family owed Xiao Yu's family a lot of money, and he pasted Spring Festival couplets for us early to remind his parents. ”

Speaking of this, she chuckled very gratefully, "But this child is also too worried, Lao Xiao and his family are also real people, and they have helped our family a lot in the past few years, they like you very much, I wish you were his daughter-in-law, but it's a pity that you and Xiao Yu ......."

"Mom!" Although he was touched by Xiao Yu, Lin Xiaowan couldn't help but interrupt his mother's words.

Yan Lingyun smiled, and the words changed: "Zong Yun, this young man is good, you can talk to someone." ”

"People have girlfriends." Afraid that his mother would ask long and short questions, Lin Xiaowan found a reason that he thought was good to block his mother's mouth.

"Oh?" Yan Lingyun was very surprised and didn't ask anything more.

Lin Xiaowan praised her wit in her heart, pasted the Spring Festival and window flowers, and accompanied her mother to nag for a while, and in a blink of an eye it was four o'clock, seeing her mother enter the kitchen to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, she turned back to the room, closed the door, sat in front of the computer, called Rong Shaochen, and after a while, Rong Shaochen went online and videoed with her.

Looking at the familiar face that appeared on the screen, Lin Xiaowan immediately threw a wink and smiled: "Miss me?" ”

Rong Shaochen didn't answer her words directly, and asked rhetorically, "Did you meet Zong Yun today?" ”

"Yes, his family happens to live in this community, I really didn't expect him to live in a big villa, he is really low-key."

Rong Shaochen pouted: "He only moved opposite you a few days ago." ”

"Huh?!" Lin Xiaowan was very surprised, "What a coincidence." ”

"It's a coincidence."

Sensing the sourness in Rong Shaochen's words, Lin Xiaowan burst out laughing: "You still eat Zong Yun's vinegar?" Didn't I tell you? What he was thinking about was ......"

Rong Shaochen interrupted her: "He used to think about Xiang Zhiyun, but now he may not. ”

Lin Xiaowan wanted to say a word, how could Zong Yun fall in love with me, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he pointed his finger at Rong Shaochen's nose on the computer screen, and said with a smile: "I think Zong Yun is very single-minded, he is so desperate for Xiang Zhiyun, how can he empathize and don't fall in love?" You're thinking too much. ”

"I don't know if he will empathize and don't fall in love, but I know that he is deliberately trying to block me."

"It's definitely impossible to empathize with you, as for adding to your blockage...... Maybe he thinks you're not good enough for me, so he deliberately provokes you like this. Lin Xiaowan originally wanted to make a joke, but when he saw Rong Shaochen's face was slightly gloomy, he immediately smiled and coaxed, "Even if you don't believe him, don't you believe me?" Didn't we say we would trust each other? Okay, don't be so careful, I ......"

Before she finished her words, she felt the door open, hurriedly touched the mouse, quickly clicked on the fork in the upper corner of the video dialog box, didn't want to be dazzled, clicked the minimize key, and wanted to click off again, seeing that her mother had walked into the room quickly, while laughing and asking her to guess who was coming, she had to get up and want to welcome, thinking that her mother didn't understand computers anyway, so she ignored the video for the time being, and asked, "Mom, who's coming?" Are you so happy? ”

She estimated that her aunt's family had come over, and she knew that since her father's death, the family had suffered one after another accidents, and those relatives were afraid of being involved, so they cut off contact with her family, and her family was left with only her aunt and one relative.

"Your aunt and uncle are busy collecting accounts today, so if you can't come, it's Zong Yun who is here." Yan Lingyun didn't notice Lin Xiaowan's strange appearance, and looked at the door with a smile.

"Hey." Zong Yun appeared in Lin Xiaowan's video at the right time.

"You?!" Lin Xiaowan was taken aback, thinking that Rong Shaochen was still watching from the other end of the video, he rushed to the door in a few steps, pushed out Zong Yun, who was still out of Rong Shaochen's video sight, and said with a smile, "Let's go outside to talk." ”

"Why go out and talk? You two ......"

"Mom, what's cooking on the stove? It seems to be burned! ”

"Huh? Have it? Yan Lingyun hurriedly ran out.

Lin Xiaowan took the opportunity to pull Zong Yun out, while praying in his heart that Rong Shaochen didn't hear his mother mention Zong Yun's name.

Feeling Lin Xiaowan's panic, Zong Yun caught a glimpse of the computer screen that was still on, and had already vaguely guessed the reason in his heart, smiled, and turned around quickly to go out, and when Lin Xiaowan closed the door, he asked in a low voice, "Why don't you reply to my message?" ”

"Information?" Lin Xiaowan took out her mobile phone when she heard this, clicked on the information bar, and saw the information she ignored, and couldn't help but be annoyed by her carelessness.

Over there, Rong Shaochen was still unhappy about Zong Yun's move to live opposite her, and at this time, Zong Yun was invited by his mother to spend Chinese New Year's Eve at home, and Rong Shaochen knew that he would be even more unhappy.

Seeing that her mother was still busy in the kitchen, Lin Xiaowan asked in a low voice, "When did my mother invite you?" ”

Zong Yun laughed in a low voice: "We met in the community in the morning, and not long after you left, my aunt came back to me, chatted with me for a while, and heard that I lived alone, so she invited me to come over for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." My aunt was gracious, so I came over cheekily. If I knew you didn't welcome me so much, I wouldn't have come. ”

"No, it's not that you're not welcome, it's ...... Oh, by the way, how long have you been living in this neighborhood? ”

"Three or four days."

Sure enough, it was what Rong Shaochen said!

Lin Xiaowan asked puzzledly, "Why did you think of moving here?" ”

"There are a lot of people in this community, and I want to feel it."

Feeling that Zong Yun's reason was a bit far-fetched, glancing at his mother in the kitchen, Lin Xiaowan hesitated for a moment, and asked Zong Yun bluntly: "Did my mother ask a lot about your personal situation in the morning?" Such as age, family conditions, and whether you have a girlfriend? ”

Zong Yun nodded.

"You also know the relationship between me and Shaochen."

"Huh?" Zong Yun looked at her puzzled.

Lin Xiaowan continued to say frankly: "My mother is more conservative, she wants me to marry a real ordinary family and live a real life. My mother's body has not fully recovered, and the doctor said that she can't be stimulated in any way, and since Shaochen's identity is not within the scope of my mother's acceptance, I have always wanted to wait for her to fully recover before telling her about what happened between me and Shaochen. ”

"So that's the case," Zong Yun suddenly realized, and joked to himself, "It turns out that my aunt is so enthusiastic about me, does she want to recognize me as a fast son-in-law of Chenglong?" ”

"I'm sorry, it's all my mother's wishful thinking, you don't pay attention to her." When Lin Xiaowan said this, he said tentatively, "I only have Shaochen in my heart, and you only have Miss Xiang in my heart, my mother doesn't know that she is messing with the mandarin duck spectrum." ”

Zong Yun laughed when he heard this: "I can't be Chenglong's son-in-law, it should be no problem to come over and eat a few meals, right?" ”

Lin Xiaowan also let go of his heart when he heard this, and happily responded: "It's not a problem to rub rice, I'll cook a few specialty dishes for you tomorrow to taste." ”

"Really? Then I'll bring you the rice wine you sent me tomorrow. ”

"That's it!" Lin Xiaowan made an OK gesture, and was about to ask what Zong Yun liked to eat, when someone knocked on the door.
