Lin Jiaruo's hunch was right.

Early the next morning, as soon as Lin Jiaruo got up, two of the four big maids beside Xu's side, Du Juan and Huang Li, came over, saying that Xu was going to call the maids in Lin Jiaruo's house to come over for questioning.

"Shall I go and say hello to my grandmother by myself?" Lin Jiaruo asked, and began to draw the route from Jiqiu Courtyard to Ciyin Hall in his mind.

"Madame asked the slave to accompany the girl to the Ciyin Hall to say goodbye!" The cuckoo said with a grin.

Lin Jiaruo was a little reluctant, the cuckoo fur was frizzy, she was pulled by her all the way to trot yesterday, and she almost fell down, not to mention, her hands were blue when she came back, and now she still feels a faint pain when she thinks about it.

But the mother and relatives have spoken, and Lin Jiaruo is reluctant and difficult to refuse.

"Then you are not allowed to hold my hand!" Lin Jiaruo said with a bluffed face.

The cuckoo looked at her as a child and looked serious as an adult, and thought it was so cute that she didn't even hear what she said and nodded with a smile.

Lin Jiaruo saw Du Juan's casual look, and intuitively distrusted her, so he simply put his hand in his sleeve.

You can't hold my hand, can you?

Lin Jiaruo thought proudly.

When Lin Jiaruo arrived at Ciyin Hall, everyone saw a pink carved girl with her hands in her sleeves, her eyes dark, and her face with an alert expression with a little pride.

The second girl, Lin Jiazhi, rushed over and rubbed her for a while, and said with a smile: "Ah Ruo is chubby, it's so cute!" ”

But as long as a woman is eighty or eight months old, she doesn't like to hear the word "fat"!

Lin Jiaruo is already a five-year-old girl! The word "chubby" is an absolute insult!

But no matter how hard the five-year-old Lin Jiaruo resisted, he couldn't escape the clutches of the ten-year-old Lin Jiazhi, as for the elders who didn't care about the children's fighting, Lin Jiaruo had to look at the lobby sister on the side for help.

"Don't make a fuss!" Lin Jialan reprimanded in a low voice, "Let grandmother see what kind of system it is!" ”

Lin Jialan is the eldest granddaughter, and she is very majestic in front of the sisters, Lin Jiazhi was said by her, although she muttered "Grandmother doesn't care", she still obediently let go of Lin Jiaruo.

As soon as Lin Jiaruo was free, he ran behind his eldest sister and grimaced at Lin Jiazhi.

Lin Jiazhi wanted to rush over to catch her, but when she heard her mother-in-law Sun's dry cough, she gave up.

Not long after, the two little cousins who lived in the front yard also arrived, and only the lobby brother Lin Zhizhi, because he was studying in Xiaoshan Academy, would only appear on the fifteenth and sixteenth of each month.

It just so happened that Old Madam Lin also got up and asked people to come out and call them in.

The two little cousins were still going to the clan school, and after listening to a few words of concern, they left, leaving the ladies to chat with Mrs. Lin.

After Lin Jiaruo followed her sisters to say hello, she familiarly touched the last position, climbed up by herself, sat upright, pretending to be listening to the adults, but in fact she was wandering out of the world.

Suddenly heard his name: "Ah Ruo, do you miss your father?" ”

Lin Jiaruo reflexively straightened up and shouted loudly: "Think!" ”

The adults in the house smiled heartily, and Mrs. Lin smiled kindly: "Come back this time, tell him to stay until your mother is born before leaving!" ”

It turns out that Daddy is coming back!

Lin Jiaruo's father is the youngest son of the Lin family, the old lady's sweetheart, named Lin Shisheng.

Lin Shisheng is a merry and talented man, he doesn't go home all day long, he either travels to study or goes to meetings, Lin Jiaruo can't even remember what he looks like, how can he miss it?

"You children should greet people well, don't lose your manners!" After the old lady said this, she waved her hand to let everyone disperse.

Lin Jiaruo's eyes rolled, quietly rubbed to Lin Jialan's side, and asked in a low voice, "Big sister, who does grandmother let us call?" ”

Lin Jialan glared at her lightly, but still told her: "It's my cousin and cousin of Uncle Jinling's family, and I came to live in our house with my third uncle for a while." ”

Lin Jiaruo said "oh", she vaguely remembered that her aunt's family was a very famous family in Jinling.

Back to Jiqiu Courtyard, as usual, I went to Xu's room to have breakfast together.

Lin Jiaruo saw the Ying'er in her room at a glance, but she didn't care if Xu left her to wait for her to go back together.

After breakfast, Lin Jiaruo relayed the only two pieces of news that her grandmother heard from Xu: "Grandmother said that Daddy is coming back-" She didn't pay attention to the specific day she came back, worried that Xu would ask, so she wanted to say the next thing.

Unexpectedly, Xu snorted coldly and said, "It's time for him to come back!" ”

Lin Jiaruo said in surprise: "Mother, do you know? Daddy wrote to you too? ”

Xu snorted coldly again.

Lin Shisheng will write a letter to her, and there will be a ghost! It's just that the day in the previous life impressed her.

Lin Jiaruo let out an "oh" and said another thing: "The cousin and cousin of the eldest sister Uncle Jinling also followed my father to our house to play!" ”

Xu was stunned for a moment: "Your eldest aunt's maiden nephew?" "I don't seem to have come in my previous life?

Lin Jiaruo nodded: "Yes." Mother, is my big sister's cousin older or younger than me? ”

"Two years older than you." Xu replied nonchalantly.

These two brothers will be great characters in the future, the elder brother later fell into the flower and married the daughter of the prime minister, and the younger brother is even more...

The two brothers of the dragon and phoenix in that kind of person have always been disdainful of Lin Shisheng, how could they come with him?

Speaking of which, in his previous life, he saved it, but he could save it for a while, but he couldn't save it for a lifetime...

In any case, their mother and son always owe him a great favor.

Thinking of this, Xu's face softened, and he instructed Lin Jiaruo: "The two cousins of the Gan family are good, you have to treat them well!" ”

Lin Jiaruo promised in his mouth, but he didn't think so in his heart, the cousin of the Gan family is here, and he has his own big brother and big sister to entertain him, where can I get my turn!

After the meal was finished and the words were finished, Lin Jiaruo jumped off the stool, and said with crooked eyebrows: "Mother, I'm going out to play!" ”

The little girl's carefree appearance made Xu's heart melt, touched her head, and laughed softly: "Go, remember to come back for lunch!" ”

Lin Jiaruo walked out with brisk steps.

As soon as one foot crossed the threshold, the person stopped and looked back in surprise: "Ying'er, why don't you leave?" ”

When she screamed, Ying'er's head was buried in her chest.

"My mother hasn't had time to tell you about this, from now on, Ying'er and Bai Lu won't be by your side." Xu looked at her with a smile.

Before Lin Jiaruo recovered from the shock of the gentle and considerate Ying'er being driven away by her mother, she heard Xu make up for it again: "The cuckoo will follow you in the future!" ”

Lin Jiaruo looked at Xu with a thunderbolt expression.

The nurse who can sing and sleep will drive away, and the warbler who can make snacks and embroider purses will also drive away, and give her a cuckoo who can pinch and hurt people!

Is this my own mother?

The left wrist suddenly ached, and Lin Jiaruo took a deep breath-

"I don't—" The scream echoed through the air.
