As soon as Tong Zhao finished speaking, he received a cold look from Hu Qinrong.
"Then how did you explain it to your dad?! Why didn't you tell him when he called?!"
Tong Mu retracted her head. In the old house, she quite liked her grandfather, who was very kind to her.
It's hard to tell what kind of monsters those other people are.
Tong Zhao also smiled coquettishly, "Honey, don't be angry~"
Hu Qinrong's eyes were filled with anger. If this guy hadn't made his own decision and agreed to let Tong Mu return to his old house for a few days after the phone call, if he had asked them in advance, there wouldn't have been so many problems!
idiot!
Hu Qinrong snorted coldly and turned away, not wanting to pay attention to him.
Just at this time, the door of the old house opened.
An older grandma came out. She was an old woman from the Tong family, and everyone called her grandma.
No one knows her real name.
"Azhao is back?" She walked out with a smile.
They got out of the car quickly.
Grandma watched Tong Zhao grow up, and he has a deep relationship with her.
"Grandma." Tong Zhao came up to greet her, and Tong Mu followed behind.
The old man looked at Tong Zhao now and sighed.
"You must be tired from the journey. The old man is waiting for you inside for lunch."
The weather in mid-spring is not bad, there is no sun and there is a gentle breeze.
It was really noon, and Tong Mu felt her head hurt when she thought of such a big family waiting for her to come for lunch.
She looked back at Hu Qinrong, who also had a heavy look on his face.
In a courtyard with a big family and a big business, rules are more important.
If it had been someone else who had done this, he would probably have ended up like Zhou Can and received a beating.
But Tong Mu was different. She didn't spend much time with the old man when she was young, and she was deeply loved by him.
Tong Zhengli always responded to his granddaughter's requests, and even broke the Tong family's family motto of only passing it on to boys, and wanted to pass on the family business to Tong Mu.
The Tong family's old house and the Zhou family's villa built on the mountain are completely different styles. They are all antique Chinese-style buildings.
It has red bricks and green tiles, and even the handrails are carved with patterns.
Tong Mu walked through a large lotus pond before reaching the main hall.
The main hall of the children's house is also made of wood. The dark red wooden door is wide open, and a group of people sitting at the table can be seen at a glance.
Just looking at it from a distance makes my scalp numb.
Seeing them coming, the people inside stood up.
The old man in a gray tunic suit stood up and took the crutch from the servant.
He looked out the door with a smile, his wrinkled face full of smiles. He couldn't help but took two steps outside, but luckily someone stopped him.
"Oh, sir, it's coming soon. Just stay here and wait."
Tong Mu didn't come back to his old home often, but he would come back one or two days a week to see Tong Zhengli.
"dad."
"grandfather."
Tong Mu followed Tong Zhao obediently and greeted the people around him.
"Second aunt."
"cousin."
"Yiyi."
There were too many people, so Hu Qinrong glanced at her worriedly.
After all, Tong Mu used to be not only stupid, but also blind.
You can't remember the same person if you don't meet him one, two, three, four, five or six times.
"Okay, don't be polite and come in quickly."
Tong Zhengli greeted with a smile, "Mumu, come to grandpa and let me see if you have gained weight!"
Tong Mu rolled his eyes and ran over quickly.
"I seem to have gained a little weight, grandpa."
Tong Zhengli smiled and led Tong Mu to take the main seat at the dinner table.
Grandma went over and asked in a low voice: "Master, should I ask the kitchen to serve food now?"
Tong Zhengli nodded, "Everyone is here. Let's serve the food quickly. Don't make everyone hungry."
Everyone:......
After waiting for so long, I don't see you worried about starving us.
Among them was an older woman who covered her mouth and smiled. Tong Muli was not sure about her relationship, so he only called her aunt.
"Second uncle is indeed the one who loves Mumu the most. She has just arrived and is already in a hurry to eat. Let us see her, and she feels jealous."
Tong Mu turned his head to look at her. This seemed right at first glance, but why did he feel uncomfortable after hearing it?
She smiled and said warmly: "Auntie, what you are saying is that my father is my only granddaughter, and of course he loves me the most."
Tong Zhengli gave birth to a child, Tong Zhao, and he even moved out.
The people who live in the old house now are all the descendants of his brothers.
When he was young, there was a war, and not many people survived. The remaining descendants all lived with Tong Zhengli.
As an elder, Tong Zhengli could not leave such a young child without raising him.
Tong Mu's generation didn't even have an older brother or sister from the same family, and Tong Zhengli felt heartbroken.
He smiled and agreed with Tong Mu's words.
"You're right! Mumu, the kitchen has prepared your favorite dishes. You should eat more later and gain weight."
The people in the old house had always known that Tong Mu was sick, but no one was stupid, and no one would bring this matter up to Tong Zhengli.
In private, I would ask Tong Mu quietly.
But that's just curiosity.
A few days ago, I heard that Tong Mu had recovered from his illness, and many people were watching Tong Mu secretly.
He seems to be able to talk a little better than before and is not so withdrawn.
This makes the old man very happy. He already felt sorry for his granddaughter, but now, he is afraid that he will spoil her to the extreme.
After eating, Tong Zhengli glanced at the servant on the side.
"Has the eldest lady's room been tidied up?"
Grandma hurriedly stepped forward and looked relatively happy.
"It's all set, sir."
This sentence made many people raise their heads with surprise in their eyes.
One of the girls, wearing a white top and with a gentle face, looked as usual.
She put down her chopsticks and looked at Tong Mu.
"Does Mumu plan to stay in the old house for a few days?"
Before Tong Mu could speak, Tong Zhengli interrupted with disapproval.
"Why stay for a few days? I have nothing else to do during the summer vacation. Of course I will stay here forever!"
Hearing this, the woman was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"That's good. We can play together when we are bored on weekdays."
Tong Mu looked up and replied politely.
"Thank you, Sister Yiyi."
"But grandpa, I can't live that long."
Tong Zhengli narrowed his eyes and pretended to be unhappy, "Why, you don't want to stay with me, an old man, for a few more days?"
"No, grandpa." Tong Mu quickly denied, "Although it's nice to be with you, I will miss my parents."
If it were someone else, maybe the old man would ask the couple to move back to their old house.
But Hu Qinrong was different. She had a grudge at the beginning, but even if she opened her mouth now, she would not agree.
And Tong Zhao, he won't be happy either.
Tong Zhengli was silent for a moment and said helplessly: "Okay."
After saying that, he smiled again and said: "But you can stay a few more days this time."
After finally coming back, I have to stay a few more days. Tong Mu nodded.
