An opportunity that might give my uncle what he wants.
...
When it was still dark on Saturday, Xiao Xiao and others successfully met up with Xu Zizhen at the school gate.
Even in the early morning, there is already a hint of warmth in the air.
…
Everyone took a taxi to the courtyard where Xu Zizhen's grandparents now live.
The ancient building with a strong sense of age made Xiao Xiao and others sigh with emotion.
…
Zhuge Yan and Zhao Lu were whispering behind each other.
“Siheyuan like this is extremely valuable nowadays.”
"Yes, you may not be able to buy it even if you have money."
…
"Xu Zizhen's family should be quite wealthy."
"My ancestors must be from a wealthy family."
…
Xu Zizhen’s grandparents were very happy to see their grandson, especially when they saw that his grandson brought so many classmates with him, they smiled brightly.
Elderly people like to have fun, and they also like children.
…
As the intermediary, Xu Zizhen made a brief introduction to both parties.
The two elderly people are very kind.
Always smiling.
...
After letting Xiao Xiao and others do what they want and telling his grandson to take good care of his classmates, Grandpa Xu went out to play chess with his friends.
The Xu family's grandma was very happy and said that she would cook a big meal for Xu Zizhen and his friends at noon. She also carefully asked Xiao Xiao what dishes they liked and disliked.
After getting the information she wanted, the old lady carried the vegetable basket and went out to the vegetable market to buy vegetables with a smile on her face.
…
After seeing off the old man at home, Xu Zizhen breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he turned around and said to everyone with a smile, "Let's go see my uncle."
…
Xiao Xiao and his group followed Xu Zizhen through the Moon Gate and arrived at the backyard of the courtyard.
…
Xu Zizhen suddenly stopped.
The confusion in everyone's eyes became clear after they saw the middle-aged man under the tree not far away.
That must be Xu Zizhen's uncle.
…
The man is quite tall and thin.
He raised his head and looked at the maple leaves above.
The half of the face facing them was calm and calm, but the serious and immersed eyes revealed a bit of the long-lasting flavor unique to memories.
The aura around the man was faint, exuding a little wistfulness.
It's inexplicably annoying.
…
"Xiao Xiao, can you really help my uncle?"
Xu Zizhen didn't look back, looked at his uncle, and asked in a low voice.
…
"Yes."
Xiao Xiao raised his eyes and looked at the figure among the maple branches, just above the middle-aged man's head.
Snow-white hair decorated with green maple leaves blocked most of the opponent's body, making it difficult for people to see his face clearly.
…
But the lowered head posture let Xiao Xiao know that it was looking at the middle-aged man.
It is within the middle-aged man's field of vision.
However, in the eyes of the man who raised his head, there was nothing but maple leaves...
…
Um?!
Xu Zizhen turned around suddenly and stared at Xiao Xiao with wide eyes.
Can?
What's the meaning?
Is that what he meant?
I made it clear before that I wasn’t sure.
Now I can just take a look at my uncle from a distance, right?
Because it was too unbelievable, perhaps also mixed with excitement, fear and other emotions, Xu Zizhen was speechless for a moment.
His face was stunned, but his eyes were filled with waves.
…
Seeing this, Zhuge Yun helped Xu Zizhen ask his doubts, "Lao San, you mean, you can help Xu Zizhen's uncle find that young lady?"
At the end of his speech, his voice rose slightly, and his tone couldn't help but contain a bit of shock and suspicion.
...
He believed that Lao San was right.
However, the problem that has troubled Uncle Xu Zizhen for so many years was solved by the third brother just by looking at it from a distance?
…
Wait, in this case, Zhuge Yun suddenly thought of a possibility.
Before he could ask, Zhao Luzheng said "ah" with a somewhat strange and hesitant look on his face.
…
"Zizhen?"
A strange man's voice interrupted everyone's inquiries.
They turned around and looked, and sure enough it was Uncle Xu who was walking towards them after hearing the noise.
…
"uncle."
Xu Zizhen put away the "weird" expression on his face and showed a big smile.
"Hello, Uncle Xu."
Xiao Xiao, Zhang Bo, Zhuge Yun, and Zhao Luzheng then shouted politely.
…
"Hey, hello."
Uncle Xu smiled and responded to everyone.
The gentle temperament has no shadow.
If they hadn't witnessed the absent-minded look of the man in front of them just now, they would really have thought that Uncle Xu was not worried about anything in his heart.
…
After Uncle Xu exchanged a few words with Xu Zizhen and Xiao Xiao, he planned to leave.
Since my nephew brought his friends to play today, he naturally couldn't stay here any longer.
"Zizhen, have fun with your friends, uncle will leave first."
…
"uncle!"
Xu Zizhen's voice was somewhat urgent.
…
"What's wrong?"
Uncle Xu looked at Xu Zizhen in confusion, and then he got a little clearer, "Is there anything you need uncle's help with?"
…
"no."
Xu Zizhen shook his head and looked hesitant. He didn't know what to say to his uncle next.
The uncle came so quickly that he didn't ask Xiao Xiao anything.
I'm all in the clouds.
…
Although he was a little confused, looking at Xu Zizhen's solemn expression of confusion, Uncle Xu felt a little funny for no reason.
He raised the corners of his lips and spoke in a warm voice, "Zizhen, just say what you want to say."
"We haven't seen each other for a while, why are you still separated from your uncle?"
…
"No."
Xu Zizhen shook his head hastily.
He has been close to his uncle since he was a child.
Even though the adults in the family told him to stay away from his uncle for a while, he didn't listen.
He also felt very sorry for his uncle.
…
Sometimes it is because you attach too much importance to something that you are more careful about your words, for fear that you may not express your meaning well and cause the other party to misunderstand.
"uncle-"
Xu Zizhen said hesitantly, "Are you still waiting for that young lady?"
...
Uncle Xu was stunned, and his gentle and smiling expression became stiff and unnatural for a moment.
...
He was caught off guard.
He didn't understand why his nephew suddenly asked him this question? Or in front of his friends?
...
He couldn't help but look at Xiao Xiao and the others.
But he was surprised to find that the faces of those children were not as confused as he imagined.
Instead, he was shocked at the beginning and then revealed the slightest bit of understanding.
...
They know his story.
Uncle Xu immediately came to this conclusion.
Immediately, a trace of anger rose in my heart.
Although he didn't like that his nephew used it as a conversation piece to tell his friends.
But it's just that I'm not happy.
After all, he didn't tell the child at the beginning not to tell others about him.
