Xia Xingkong stood on the balcony and looked at the wind chimes that were blown by the wind, Mu Zhan slowly hugged Xia Xingkong from behind in his newly bought slippers, sniffed the fragrance in her hair, and asked softly, "What are you thinking?" ”

Xia Xingkong came back to his senses and chuckled, clenching Mu Zhan's hand, "It's nothing, let's go to your house tomorrow, I want to thank my uncle in person." ”

Mu Zhan was stunned for a moment, then restrained his smile again, and rubbed his chin against Xia Xingkong's hair, "Eh, my family, in fact, ......"

The last time he went home and knelt for a day, Mu Shiyan promised to let go and investigate her affairs thoroughly, he stayed for four days, but only to see Mu Shiyan three times, he was still the same, he ignored him, and when he came back, he buried his head in the study.

He didn't want to see Mu Shiyan much, he just promised Mu Shiyan not to make trouble, as for reflection, to hell with it.

He didn't want her to see him arguing with Mu Shiyan.

Xia Xingkong turned around and let go of Mu Zhan's arm, and looked at Mu Zhan's face seriously, "For the previous matter, I want to visit my uncle anyway, the identity of the granddaughter of the Xia family is inconvenient to go over, but you can go as your friend." ”

Mu Zhan grabbed his hair with his hand, "I don't have a good relationship with him, I don't know if he wants to ......"

Xia Xingkong coquettishly hugged Mu Zhan's arm, "If you really don't want to, it's gone, you ask, okay?" ”

Mu Zhan closed his eyes and pointed to his face, "You kiss me." ”

Xia Xingkong stood up straight and kissed Mu Zhan on the face with a smile.

Mu Zhan smiled with satisfaction.

"Don't get your hopes up, if you can't see Mu Shiyan, I'll take you to my grandfather, okay?"

"Well, I'll go to the toilet first."

Xia Xingkong walked around the corner, secretly glanced at Mu Zhan, who was stunned with his mobile phone, and happily closed the door of the bathroom.

Mu Zhan sat on the arm of the sofa and helplessly dialed the phone and put it aside casually.

"Toot ......"

Mu Zhan instinctively tensed his nerves.

After ringing a few times, the phone was connected, and Mu Zhan's unsmiling voice came from there, "Causing trouble again?" ”

Mu Zhan pinched his phone and tried to calm himself, but his tone was stiff, "No, when are you free?" ”

Mu Shiyan stopped flipping through the information, "Where are you?" ”

Mu Zhan casually looked out of the window, "City A." ”

"Do you know to come back?"

Mu Zhan took a deep breath and asked lightly, "Are you free, do you remember the granddaughter of the Xia family?" She wants to thank you in person. ”

Mu Shiyan did not answer, but moved on to other topics.

"Does your grandfather know you're back?"

"I don't know."

"Just see your grandfather, I'm busy."

Mu Shiyan hung up the phone with a 'snap' after speaking.

Mu Zhan threw the phone on the sofa and scolded, "I...... Exercise. ”

After a while, Xia Xingkong hugged Mu Zhan's head from behind the sofa, kissed him on the cheek, and praised, "It's so fragrant." ”

Mu Zhan held Xia Xingkong's arm and said in frustration, "Daughter-in-law, I'm sorry, he said he wasn't available." ”

Xia Xingkong smiled and said, "This is inevitable, we can't force others." ”

"Shall I take you to see my grandfather?"

"Okay."

In the evening, Mu Zhan called Mu Tang, and when he heard that Mu Zhan was going home, Mu Tangle smiled.

Mu Zhan hung up the phone, his face always warm, "Go to my house for dinner at noon tomorrow." ”

Xia Xingkong sat on the sofa with his feet tilted, leaning his head on Mu Zhan's shoulder, pursing his lips and meditating, "Then what should I buy?" ”

Mu Zhan turned his head and kissed Xia Xingkong's forehead, "Daughter-in-law, I'll just worry about this, don't worry." ”

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Xia Xingkong yawned, "I'm sleepy, can't I sleep?" ”

Mu Zhan rubbed Xia Xingkong's hair, "Sleep." ”

Xia Xingkong got up and walked into the bedroom with slippers, Mu Zhan followed, Xia Xingkong stopped and turned back to Mu Zhan who stopped at the door of the bedroom and pointed to the side, "You will sleep there in the future." ”

Mu Zhan turned his head to look at the bedroom next to him, and asked aggrievedly, "Can you bear it?" ”

Xia Xingkong pursed his lips to stop smiling, "Don't make trouble, go to sleep, good night." ”

Mu Zhan reluctantly walked over, and stuck his head here before entering the door, "Daughter-in-law, good night." ”

The next day, Mu Zhan and Xia Xingkong were dressed neatly, and Mu Zhan took Xia Xingkong to the mall to buy two boxes of tea first, ready to take them back to Mu Tang.

Mu Zhan took Xia Xingkong to the quiet compound of the Municipal Party Committee, a two-lane road, and tall French plane trees on both sides of the road, which looked solemn.

A lifting pole seems to separate two worlds.

Mu Zhan stopped outside an old bungalow and knocked on the door, as if waiting, the door quickly opened from the inside, and a kind old man's face came into view, "Ah Zhan, don't bring the key?" ”

He didn't even want to come back.

Mu Zhan called in a low voice, "Grandpa." ”

Xia Xingkong stood straight, "Grandpa Mu, hello." ”

"Hello, come in." Mu Tang said gently.

After entering the house and sitting down, Mu Zhan put the gift box in front of Mu Tang, "Grandpa, it's for you." ”

Mu Tang took the gift box with a smile, "Don't break the bank in the future." ”

A person who looked like a kitchen aunt came out of the kitchen with water, put it in front of them, and asked with a smile, "Ah Zhan is back." ”

"Aunt Li."

Xia Xingkong took the water cup with both hands, "Aunt Li, thank you." ”

Mu Tang smiled.

Aunt Li smiled and nodded, "Alas, hello. What do I want to eat at noon, I go grocery shopping. ”

"Just buy some and don't be spicy."

"Okay, I'll buy it right away."

Aunt Li put the tray in the kitchen and went out with the food basket.

Mu Tang sat on a single sofa and took a sip of tea, looked at Mu Zhan and said, "Are you coming back and leaving?" ”

Mu Zhan didn't speak.

"Still gassing?"

Mu Zhan squeezed his arms into the sofa, looking irritable, "I didn't have to worry about it." ”

"It doesn't always grow up."

Mu Zhan didn't talk about it, and Mu Tang didn't force him, he glanced at Xia Xingkong, who was sitting on the side, his grandson grew up, and he knew that he had brought the girl back.

It must be the girl who Ah Zhan came back last time to ask his father for help, and she is indeed a good-looking girl.

Mu Tang said unhurriedly, "You haven't introduced your friend to your grandfather yet." ”

Mu Zhan tilted his head and smiled at Xia Xingkong, with an uncontrollable smile on his face.

Xia Xingkong replied politely, "Hello, my name is Xia Xingkong." ”

Mu Tang nodded, "Good name." ”

Mu Zhan proudly hugged Xia Xingkong's shoulder, "She's my girlfriend." ”

Xia Xingkong's eyes widened, neither laughing nor crying, so he had to slap Mu Zhan's hand away and whisper, "Be serious." ”

Mu Tang's expression did not change, and his face was still gentle, "Ah Zhan has grown up, it is normal for you to have a good impression at this age, but you just have to pay attention to proportion." ”

Xia Xingkong looked embarrassed, Grandpa Mu Zhan must have known about her before, and he didn't know what he thought of her in his heart.

It's false to say not to be nervous.

There is no one who knows Mu Zhan better than Mayor Mu.

Knowing that he loves to mess around, he doesn't mix it.

Mu Zhan's face was sunny, "I know, your grandson knows how to measure things." ”

Mu Tang nodded with satisfaction, "Starry Sky, you stay and eat, I'll go out for a walk." ”

Xia Xingkong stood up, "Okay." ”

Mu Zhan pulled her to sit down, "Don't be so nervous, feel free." ”

Xia Xingkong stretched out his hand to pinch Mu Zhan's waist, "I was scared to death by you." ”

"Oops." Mu Zhan grabbed Xia Xingkong's hand and kissed it, "It's the first time I've brought a girl back, and grandpa knows it." ”

Xia Xingkong took back his hand in shame, "Be careful to be seen." ”

"Okay, I'll listen to my daughter-in-law."

She hit him again.

Mu Zhan took Xia Xingkong to his room to rest.

The room was large, cleaned clean, and the floor was warm and clean with a lot of sunlight.

There are also a lot of books in the room, some of which are very new and some of which are old.

Xia Xingkong carefully observed his previous life.

Mu Zhan seemed to have a lot of feelings, and stood silently in front of the desk, without saying a word.

After eating, Mu Tang asked Xia Xingkong to go to the backyard alone.

Mu Tang pinned his hand behind his back and said with a smile, "Starry Sky, your uncle is busy with business, you won't mind, right?" ”

"No, it won't."

"That's good, can Ah Zhan's study be caught? Where do you think you can get the college entrance examination? ”

"With a little more effort, Benyi should be able to do it."

Mu Tang took out a cowhide envelope and put it in Xia Xingkong's hand, "Thank you for your hard work, this is the cost of your tutoring for Ah Zhan, and I will give you the rest after the college entrance examination." ”

Xia Xingkong hurriedly waved his hand, "No, I have my own selfish intentions and want to go to college in the same city with him." ”

Mu Tang said majestically: "If you take it, you can use it as a first meeting gift." ”

Gift.

Xia Xingkong pinched the thick envelope, about 10,000.

She looked at Mu Tang, "It's a lot." ”

"It must be very hard to help him with tuition, you can't leave your own studies behind, if you feel struggling, you learn your own."

Xia Xingkong bent the corners of his mouth happily, "Just when I review it myself." ”

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Mu Zhan is also very quick to learn, and he can understand it at one point."

Mu Tang sighed, "He used to study very well, but his temperament has changed greatly since his mother died, and he blames his father for not communicating well with his mother." ”

Xia Xingkong didn't know what to say for a while, she had no father or mother, and she looked pale and powerless to say anything.

She knows better than anyone what it feels like to lose a loved one.

Saying anything is useless comfort.

Standing silently for a while, Mu Tang spoke earnestly: "Starry sky, you will often come back to play with Ah Zhan in the future, and treat this place as your home." ”

"Okay."

Mu Tang returned to his previous kind appearance, "Go back, if you don't go back, Ah Zhan will come to find you." ”

"yes, okay."

She and Mu Zhan's grandfather talked on the phone after Zhou Yanshao withdrew the lawsuit, knowing that she was studying well, and Grandpa Mu wanted her to help Mu Zhan with tutoring, but she agreed without thinking about it.

Grandpa Mu also wanted to ask her to let Mu Zhan have time to come back and have a look.

When we met for the first time today, she felt lucky to have such a grandfather.

At least not ......

Forget it, I have nothing to say to Xia Zhixing.

Mu Zhan took Xia Xingkong's hand and asked uneasily, "What is Grandpa looking for you?" ”

Xia Xingkong put the bulging envelope in Mu Zhan's hand, "Give me a meeting gift." ”

Mu Zhan opened the envelope and said in surprise, "So many? ”

Xia Xingkong bent the corners of his mouth, and his tone rose, "Hmm." ”

Mu Zhan put the envelope back into Xia Xingkong's hand, "I'll go find grandpa", and ran happily in the direction of the courtyard, "Grandpa......"

It's like a child who doesn't grow up, may you be so happy for the rest of your life.
