This Chinese New Year's Eve was extremely lively, Mrs. Zhao lived in the Lishan Courtyard for decades, this is the first time to return to Kyoto, even Mrs. Zhao laughed and joked, or Xu He and the baby in the belly have a big face, so that the old lady can not be reluctant to part for a day, before she is willing to return to Kyoto after decades of absence.

Yicui Mountain has been full of guests for more than ten days, and there are countless old friends who come to visit Mrs. Zhao.

After Chinese New Year's Eve, the Zhao family gathered together for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and Old Mrs. Zhao did not shy away from Zhao Chenglin's life, so that Zhao Pingjin called him to come over to Lean Cui Mountain.

That was the first time Xu He met Zhao Chenglin, and she was actually very curious about Zhao Chenglin.

Maybe it's because the old feudal monarch of the Zhao family is here, Zhao Chenglin also restrained those uninhibited, very regular New Year's greetings to the old lady and Mrs. Zhao, and said hello to Zhao Pingjin and Xu He, and he also prepared gifts to give to everyone one by one.

Mrs. Zhao happily took his hand and said for a while, and she was not overly warm and intimate, just like treating ordinary juniors.

She and Mrs. Zhao both prepared gifts for Zhao Chenglin, Mrs. Zhao prepared a set of Song Dynasty study four treasures, but the old lady prepared a set of jade jewelry with a very full head, "In the future, I will give your daughter-in-law a dowry, this is the jewelry I married back then, and there is a set for your sister-in-law, this set is for you, you take it back and take it back." ”

Zhao Chenglin looked at Xu He with the brocade box, but smiled at Xu He, it is undeniable that Zhao Chenglin's appearance is really outstanding, even if he is used to seeing a handsome man like Zhao Pingjin, Xu He was also amazed by Zhao Chenglin's smile.

It can be seen how beautiful his mother Yan Yan should have been.

"Sister-in-law, I heard that you also have a younger sister who just celebrated her eighth birthday this year."

Zhao Chenglin put away the brocade box properly, and then came over to talk to Xu He.

When Xu He heard this, he smiled widely: "Yes, she is very naughty, and she is playing in the snow outside with a few brothers and sisters at this time." ”

Mrs. Zhao smiled kindly: "Let them play, it's fun to be open, and the children will have fun during the New Year." ”

Zhao Chenglin stood there with a long body, his slender eyebrows and eyes flew obliquely into his temples, with a light smile on the corner of his lips, he leaned on the alcove a little lazily, the indoor heating was sufficient, he was only wearing a black shirt and trousers, and when he heard the words, he asked the maid to bring his coat over: "Then I will also go out to play in the snow." ”

Everyone laughed, and Xu He couldn't help but smile and look at Zhao Pingjin beside him, but there was a flash of complicated emotions in Zhao Pingjin's eyes.

Only Xu He didn't know anything, he smiled heartily and sincerely, he didn't say anything, and after a while, he quietly went out to stare at Zhao Chenglin.

During the New Year, Xu He dressed Xu Miao very festively, wearing a red Tang dress with white fur edges, two balls in his hair, and a small red lantern on one side.

The half-grown children are not serious when they play, Xu Miao was smashed in the face with a snow ball, and she was about to cry in pain at the moment, but she thought that this was in the 'sister's in-law', and her godmother told her when she came, and she should behave more in her sister's in-law's house, so as not to lose her sister's face, and if she is well-behaved and pleasing, her sister's face will also be bright.

Most of these children are relatives of the Zhao family, and the eight-year-old Xu Miao is already very sensible, she didn't lose her temper, she didn't make noise, she just rubbed her slightly red face, endured it and didn't cry, and walked to the side silently.

Zhao Chenglin stood on the steps, looking at the small figure in the falling snow, obviously there were lights everywhere, and it was very happy, but the child looked so pitiful and lonely.

Zhao Chenglin himself has had countless such moments, when he learned the idiom under the fence when he was very young, he instantly felt that these four words hit his heart.

Although his aunt and uncle love him very much, they are not as good as his biological parents in any way.

At that time, in order to gain a firm foothold in Myanmar, after marrying Wu Youshan, my aunt endured humiliation and burdened her very much, and tried her best to please the people of the Wu family.

No matter how the aunt apologized afterwards and hugged him and cried, but when he was wronged but couldn't refute it, how sad and desperate he should be, how desperate he should be and miss his mother, that feeling, Zhao Chenglin has tasted countless times.

He walked down the steps slowly, his long black coat lined him thin and tall, he looked at Xu Miao at this moment, as if he saw himself when he was a child.

He knows what it feels like, so he's pretty good at coaxing.

Xu Miao covered her face with one hand, stood in the snow, looked at the children who were playing crazy, the feeling of wanting to cry passed, and she couldn't cry, she stretched out her hand, wanting to catch the snowflakes that were fluttering, but the moment her hand stretched out, there was suddenly a huge lollipop in her palm.

Xu Miao's eyes widened in shock, and Zhao Chenglin slowly paced to her, squatted down, and his eyes were level with her: "Meow." ”

He called her by her name, and when Xu Miao's surprised eyes gradually overflowed with joy and disbelief, Zhao Chenglin stretched out his hand and gently scraped her nose: "Stupid, don't you know me?" It's not called my brother yet. ”
