"Little girl, Grandpa Zhou won't stay to eat with you. There is a naughty thing at home. I need to take care of it. I'll give it a chance next time." After saying that, Mr. Zhou stood up from his seat.
Although he doesn't like Shen Tian, he still can't argue with the younger generation. "Girl Shen, I'll leave first. I'll say hello to your grandpa later."
"Okay, see you, Grandpa Zhou." Shen Tian still didn't like this old man, but she still maintained her gentle and graceful manner, and said to him with a smile.
And when Mr. Zhou stood up to serve, she had already consciously stood up from her seat, quietly waiting for him to finish speaking, and then raised her feet to the courtyard. She turned towards him and bowed slightly, her face gentle. Said, "Okay, Grandpa Zhou, walk slowly."
Mr. Zhou looked at her movements, his eyebrows relaxed, and he smiled with joy. There was really no comparison, so he didn't know how big the gap was.
It seems that she has been brought up by a very good tutor. She is so polite to others, gentle to the core, elegant in every move and every smile.
Her parents really raised her very well, and she doesn't look like a girl from an ordinary family, nor does she look like a girl from a small town.
Rather, she looks like a rich boudoir from a scholarly family.
"Okay, see you next time, little girl." He nodded towards her, then swung his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, listened to his words, and strode out of the courtyard.
The warmth was felt until his back disappeared from sight, and then he straightened up and turned back. Except for the old lady, who was calm and composed, there was no surprise or surprise at her actions, but her eyes were full of appreciation and satisfaction.
On the side, Shen Tian, who sat down from beginning to end, first captured the eyes of the two old men with anger and tenderness, and finally the old man Zhou whom she hated left.
She... what is this? Bowing to see her off? Was this in ancient times or in the Republic of China? How could such red tape and etiquette appear on a woman in the 21st century?
Shen Tian looked at Wenqing with shock and surprise. It wasn't until the old lady's voice came out that she came back to reality.
"Sister-in-law Yuan, go to the kitchen and see how lunch is being prepared." The old lady ordered to Sister-in-law Yuan who was standing beside her.
"Okay" Sister-in-law Yuan said and left.
"The temperature is a bit high, let's go back to the house," the old lady said, standing up from her seat, and the warmth next to her hurriedly walked over to support her arm.
Seeing this, the old lady patted her gently, nodded to her, shouted to Shen Tian, "Let's go give birth to a girl." After that, she and Wen Qing walked outside the pavilion.
When Shen Tian saw this, she stamped her feet angrily and took a step slower, but she quickly stood up and caught up with the old lady and walked to the other side, "Grandma Xu, let me help you."
The old lady felt embarrassed and nodded "Yeah" out of kindness.
With the old lady's permission, Shen Tian arrogantly gave Wenqing a contemptuous and arrogant look from above.
Wenqing looked away calmly, and earnestly helped the old lady walk, paying attention to the road conditions.
Seeing Wen Qing's reaction, Shen Tian felt like she was punched on the cotton. It didn't hurt or itch, but it was enough to make her angry.
"Grandma Xu, I remember when I was little, I loved coming to your house with my grandpa the most. You treated me the best, and you always left candies for me to eat." Shen Tian helped the old lady walk and said with a smile. Thinking about things from childhood.
"Well, your grandpa loves you the most and takes you with him wherever he goes." The old lady couldn't remember whether she specially left candy for her, but every time a child came, she would take out candy to treat her.
"Yeah, grandpa loves me." Shen Tian responded shyly, "But I like coming to your house the most, and I like to play with brother Xu Du even more."
"Brother Xu Du was also kind to me at that time. He often took me to play with Brother Gu Cheng and Brother Xiao Yi."
"I remember one time Brother Gu Cheng robbed my candy and I cried very sadly. Brother Xu Du gave me his own and even beat Brother Gu Cheng for me."
Shen Tian chattered endlessly, with a continuous smile on her face, especially when she talked about Xu Du, she looked like a young girl with a shy look even though she was not here.
The old lady listened and occasionally responded, without answering directly or asking questions, just letting her enjoy herself.
Brother Xu Du, who listened tenderly to her silent words, was very amused, but she did not show it, nor did she meet her provocative and vague eyes. She helped the old lady to sit in the room. , and went to get her tea.
"Xixi, stop working and sit down." The old lady waved her hand and said.
"Okay." He responded warmly and sat down next to the old lady.
Shen Tian still smiled and talked about her childhood. When the old lady asked Wen Qing to sit next to her, she could only sit in the guest's seat. She was very dissatisfied, but she still smiled and looked forward to it.
"Where are you from, Sister Wenqing? Her accent doesn't sound like a local." Shen Tian showed a sweet smile and asked in a pretentious manner while holding her throat.
She hated the fact that she only said a few words, but every word sounded as soft and sweet as the call of an oriole.
She already thought her voice was sweet and nice, but after listening to her voice, she felt that there was a voice that sounded better than hers. It came out completely naturally without any modification.
"I'm from Pingcheng." She looked at her tenderly and replied.
It turns out that he came from a small city, so no wonder other than that face, everything else looks like a small-minded person.
"Oh" she replied boringly, but also wanted to know how she met Brother Xu Du, how did a foxy girl from a small town use any means to get in touch with Brother Xu Du.
"How do you and brother Xu Du know each other?" she asked harmlessly, seemingly curious.
"We..." Before Wen Qing could figure out how to say it, Sister Yuan's voice came.
"Old lady, Miss Wenqing, Miss Shen is ready to start dinner. Please move to the restaurant." Sister-in-law Yuan came over and shouted to them.
Shen Tian didn't get the answer yet, and she didn't laugh at her. She was very unhappy to be interrupted, but she kept her face well.
"Let's go, let's eat first." The old lady said.
After lunch, the old lady asked someone to prepare cakes and send them away. Even if Shen Tian wanted to stay, she couldn't stay shamelessly, so she had to smile and promise to come visit her next time, and left with the cakes. .
The old lady had a rule of not talking during meals and sleeping, so it was quite peaceful while eating, but Shen Tian always found a way to use things to ridicule the warmth of the old lady and provoke the old lady to reminisce about the past.
"You don't need to accompany me, an old lady, you should go and have a rest. Later, when the sun is not so bright, I will take you out for a walk."
The old lady had the habit of taking a nap, and she felt soft-hearted as she helped her lie down and stayed with her in the house. She was really more considerate than the brat.
"Okay, I'll draw the curtain for you." Wenqing saw that it was not easy to disturb her, so she fixed the quilt for her, went to close the curtain, and walked out.
The little woman outside the door smiled at Wen Qing and reassured her that she would take care of her here. Although she didn't see her very often, every time she looked like a fairy, she made the servants of the old house feel happy and reborn. favorite.
After nodding warmly and thanking her, she walked gracefully and swaying towards the side room. The little maid was still not satisfied with what she saw.
Returning to the room, she sat in front of the desk on the window sill and carefully and cherishedly opened the book "Fireworks" given to her by Mr. Zhou.
The writing retains the mark of time, and the color of the illustration on the cover has faded slightly due to the passage of time, but the overall look is particularly new.
The inner pages are also very clean, the handwriting is very clear, and the paper is soft and light, unlike the stiff paper of today's books. It can be seen that the owner cherishes it and often reads it, because the footers are curled after repeated reading.
Mark of.
She opened the cover and looked at the vigorous and powerful black fonts added in the blank space. She touched them with her slender fingers, and her heart was filled with endless ripples.
Grandpa Zhou's writing is good, and the handwriting is also good. Mr. Zhenzhenzhen, her beautiful face, is soft and gentle at the moment.
Every line in his words was filled with the spirit of human beings. She liked the people and things he wrote very much, and she could see the human world he described in his words.
She couldn't help but want to share the joy of this moment with her good friends. She took the mobile phone that she hadn't touched all morning, turned it on, and found that there were a lot of messages on it, as well as two unseen calls from ten minutes ago.
She clicked on WeChat, and the person pinned to the top indeed had unread messages.
Get the mobile phone and call back--Xu Du
Although Xu Du has WeChat, he mostly chats with Wenqing via phone, video, or voice, and rarely talks to him via text.
According to him, it is time-consuming and cannot achieve the desired effect.
Wenqing clicked the phone and called back. The other end rang for a second, and then she was answered, and then his low and magnetic voice came.
"Why did you just reply?" He was slightly dissatisfied that it took her so long to get her cell phone to reply to her call.
"Just returned to the room." After explaining Wenqing, she was worried that he would take up this topic, "Have you had lunch? Today Master Bai made you your favorite stir-fried pork slices with lettuce."
"Yes, I've eaten." Xu Du responded with a smile listening to her soft voice.
"That's good, we've also eaten. Master Bai also made a braised fish, which is particularly delicious." He said with a warm smile, holding the microphone.
"Well, if you like it, let him cook it at night." Xu Du agreed. She likes to eat fish, shrimp and seafood, which is not like ordinary people at all.
Because Pingcheng is not a coastal place.
"I want to eat sweet and sour fish tonight." She said with a warm smile.
"That's fine, we'll eat whatever you like," Xu Du said indulgently.
The little girl has now slowly opened her heart to herself, and she can really act like a little girl, being naughty, lazy, and teasing herself.
"You're so kind!" Wenqing was pampered by him without any principle, grinning happily.
"Who is good, eh?" Xu Du asked with a low voice and raised his lips.
"Brother, brother is the best." His warm and reddish cheeks were blown away by the cool summer breeze.
"Be good." Xu Du replied with a smile.
"Xixi looks very good today, brother hasn't told you yet." Xu Du thought of the scene in the courtyard this morning.
The girl was wearing yellow silk, embroidered with lotus leaves, looking forward to the brilliance, smiling happily. What was amazing was not only the morning light, but also his gaze.
He had always known that she was beautiful, but she was wearing a cheongsam, and he was amazed again. She was beautiful beyond description. Her every frown and smile brought out the charm of a beautiful woman; looking at her, she was charming and captivating. She was not as beautiful as a fairy.
Fairy.
She is his little fairy.
Wenqing was stunned for a moment, but with the current coming from the microphone and his pure voice, she came to her senses, as if she was shy, and then looked forward to the clear sky outside the window with her beautiful eyes.
"Why don't you say anything?" Xu Du knew that she must be blushing again at this moment.
"..." Warmth.
"Thank you, brother." He hesitated, and in the end he could only murmur these four words like a mosquito.
