Chapter 188: Sunset Afterglow and Group Photo
There was a festive red lantern hanging at the door, Xiao Junnian bent his arms slightly, and waited for Li Zhi to come up gentlemanly.
Li Zhi put his hand on Xiao Junnian's arm, and the two of them stepped into the high threshold of this compound together, and they happened to be greeted by acquaintances.
Xiao Huaizhi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw Li Zhi who appeared in his house, and when he saw the smug look on Xiao Junnian's face, he knew that this younger brother definitely didn't have any good ideas in his heart.
Xiao Junnian: "Brother, this is my sister, Li Zhi." ”
The man's gaze fell on Li Zhi's beautiful face, and the other party's eyes were full of smiles, "Mr. Xiao, meet again." ”
Xiao Huaizhi nodded, "Let's go into the house first." ”
Although the scale of Old Man Xiao's birthday banquet is not large, the power of the Xiao family is already large, not to mention Old Man Xiao's younger brothers and sisters, just his married son and daughter have brought their families over, grandchildren, grandchildren and other younger generations.
Three generations are in the same house, and there are thirty or forty relatives of all sizes, and there are four tables in the courtyard of the house alone.
Xiao Huaizhi and Xiao Junnian are both Old Man Xiao's own grandsons, and their aunt's family gave birth to a daughter Xiao Yinyin, but there are not many other cousins and cousins, and some relatives from their mother's mother's family who have a better relationship also came to celebrate Old Man Xiao's birthday.
At a glance, it seems that there is only one outsider, Li Zhi.
Xiao Junnian didn't think there was any problem, he took Li Zhi around the whole time, introduced Li Zhi to his relatives at home, and praised him, in short, the Xiao family's impression of Li Zhi was quite good.
"Auntie, she is my sister who takes special care of me, I just graduated before and I don't know anything, it was my sister who hired a teacher to teach me from scratch, do you see if my acting skills are very good now?"
The woman in comfortable clothes nodded and smiled at Li Zhi, turned her head and patted Xiao Junnian's shoulder and said, "When our family grows up, we will bring our friends home, yes, it's good, keep it up." ”
"Uncle, uncle, look at who I brought here?" Xiao Junnian smiled innocently, "Our boss! Li Zhi! I'm amazing, right?! ”
The man was upright, and at first glance he was an upright person, he nodded, and greeted Li Zhi with a smile, "Our family is young and simple-minded, so I will ask Miss Li to take more care of him in the future." ”
Li Zhi also replied with a smile one by one.
She had never known that a man's experience could be so exuberant, and he took her almost all over in front of half of his relatives.
If it weren't for Li Zhi's speed, Xiao Junnian would have been eager to introduce them all, and he was going to take her to another room to continue the introduction.
In the face of Li Zhi's euphemistic refusal, Xiao Junnian looked at Li Zhi as if he didn't understand, he really liked her, but he couldn't say why, he liked her inexplicably, so he wanted to introduce her to his family.
"Then I won't introduce the others, sister, you come with me to see grandpa, I'll give grandpa a birthday gift."
Mr. Xiao's wife died very early, and now he lives alone, he has long since retired, and he drinks tea and teases birds every day, and his days are quiet and comfortable.
in the house.
Old Man Xiao sat in a rocking chair and listened to the Yue Opera repertoire on the old radio, which his wife liked to listen to most when he was young, and Li Zhi didn't know much about it, only a little bit about it.
Xiao Junnian took Li Zhi into the house, and as soon as he entered the door, he raised his voice and shouted, "Grandpa, look at who came back to see you." ”
As soon as Old Man Xiao opened his eyes, he heard Xiao Junnian's joyful voice, "It's your baby grandson who is back~"
The old man looked at Xiao Junnian's eyes lovingly, but the aura around him could still see his demeanor when he was young, and when he saw Li Zhi beside Xiao Junnian, he wondered, "Who is this?" ”
Xiao Junnian excitedly introduced, "Grandpa, she is my boss Li Zhi." ”
Li Zhi also smiled and took the initiative to say hello, "Grandpa Xiao, happy birthday." I took the liberty to disturb today, I heard Jun Nian say that you love tea, a few days ago I brought some tea from the Hangzhou Tea Garden, these tea leaves are produced by my grandfather after his retirement, I hope you will like it. ”
When it comes to Old Man Xiao's current status, he has never seen any treasure, and he has never drunk any tea.
Today is his birthday family banquet, Li Zhi's door must be a gift to congratulate, but he will definitely not accept it if it is too valuable, this tea is produced in the tea garden contracted by Li Jing'an in his spare time.
A gift without a price is also the most priceless.
Old Man Xiao nodded, and smiled and let people accept Li Zhi's gift, "Okay, good old man, I'll be good for you, your grandfather and I also knew each other when I was young, go back and say hello to him for me." ”
Li Zhi responded with a smile.
Xiao Junnian pulled Li Zhi to sit down beside him, beckoned her to drink tea and eat snacks, while he leaned over to Old Man Xiao and whispered, "Grandpa, let me tell you, my boss is amazing, and he is good to me." ”
"I'll show you the dormitory arranged by our company, this is our company's canteen, the food is good, right? I feel that my craftsmanship is no worse than that of Aunt Wang, let me tell you, I am also a rich person in the card now......"
Xiao Junnian kept sharing with Mr. Xiao the interesting things he had learned in the past six months, as well as the things he had learned since entering "Wuxing Entertainment", and the new friends he had made, which showed that he was in a very good mood with the naked eye.
As soon as the boy opened the conversation, he didn't stop.
Li Zhi is also calm, listening to Xiao Junnian and Old Man Xiao not shy away from her chat, drinking tea quietly, and from time to time when Xiao Junnian throws the topic to her, she can also pick up the conversation in time.
She could see that Xiao Junnian was helping her.
This young man's delicate heart is very clear, he may have thought of it as early as when she met him and mentioned his brother Xiao Huaizhi.
He was using his own methods to help her expand his family's network, thinking of this, Li Zhi couldn't help but sigh, Xiao Junnian trusted a person so easily, and he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing for him.
There were other relatives and friends who came to greet Mr. Xiao, Xiao Junnian took Li Zhixian and left, she knew that he hadn't come back for a long time, so she asked him to chat and play with his relatives.
She found a small corner to stay in by herself, looking at the warm reunion of this family, and missed her mother a little.
How good would she be reborn before her mother died? It's a pity that there are no ifs in life.
Li Zhi sat in the garden and watched the sunlight gradually set, the garden was full of succulents planted by Old Man Xiao, and the pots were quite cute in the afterglow, and a person suddenly sat on the chair beside him.
Xiao Huaizhi's voice was two degrees warmer than before, he also looked at those meaty, and said to Li Zhi beside him, "Those are raised by my grandmother, after she left, grandpa will take care of it every day, and the more he raises it, the more he raises it, and before he knows it, he raises a whole yard." ”
He didn't ask Li Zhi why he would come back with Xiao Junnian, he believed that his younger brother now had the judgment that an adult should have, and he would choose to take Li Zhi home to celebrate his grandfather's birthday, there must be a reason for him, even if he is an elder brother, he has no right to ask.
The sound of a "click" to take a picture.
Pull back Xiao Huaizhi and Li Zhi's thoughts as they watched the sunset in a daze.
Li Zhi turned around and saw a lovely girl, the Polaroid camera in her hand, who was holding the newly taken photo at the moment, raised it and said with a smile, "Brother, Sister Li, the back and sunset of the two of you just now are really beautiful, I couldn't help but take a picture." ”
