"Bang bang bang!" Xiao Niannian stepped on her feet and reached out to knock on the door of Sheng's house hard.
After a while, someone came to answer the door.
The person who opened the door was Uncle Qin, the groom, who was also responsible for looking after the Sheng family's home and nursing home on weekdays.
Seeing that it was Xiao Niannian, Uncle Qin showed a hint of joy on his face and quickly pulled her in.
"My wife is losing her temper in the house. Girl, go and have a look!"
Sheng Ziyi was a man of his own words. When he lost his temper, servants like them did not dare to express their anger, let alone come forward to persuade him.
But little Niannian was different. Sheng Ziyi doted on her. Whenever she came, she would always smile and tell the cook to prepare delicious food.
The Sheng family's courtyard is much larger than the Shen family's small courtyard. It is a large courtyard with two entrances, divided into front and back yards. Next to the main room is a wing room, and there are east and west wing rooms on the left and right.
Before moving in, Sheng Ziyi specially repaired the house.
There are carvings on the pillars, and lanterns are hung on the eaves and corners.
There are some exotic flowers and plants planted in the courtyard. The whole house is both grand and elegant. It is the most beautiful and largest house that Xiao Niannian has ever seen.
It is said that this house is the private property of a wealthy family in the city. It was built at that time to come to Taoli Village to recuperate.
Who would have known that as soon as the house was built, the man died of illness before he even moved in.
No villager in Taoli Village could afford such a large house, so it remained idle.
Only an owner like Sheng Ziyi, who is not short of money, can buy a big house casually.
Xiao Niannian heard from her mother that Aunt Sheng made money from business, and she didn't know what kind of business she did.
But in these ancient times, it is indeed admirable for a single woman to do this.
Walking into the backyard, Sheng Ziyi's scolding voice became clearer and louder.
"If you learn like this, how will you fulfill your father's last wish in the future?"
She held a bamboo slip in her hand, which contained an excerpt from "The Doctrine of the Mean" written silently by Xie Yunzhi.
There was not a single typo in Xie Yunzhi's silent writing yesterday, but today she made several typos. She was angry about this.
Sheng Ziyi was filled with anger and picked up a ruler from the desk.
She looked at Xie Yunzhi coldly and condescendingly, without any emotion in her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Stretch out your hand."
Xie Yunzhi stretched out his hand with an expressionless face, palm facing up, and resignedly waited for the ruler to fall.
"Aunt Shengliang~"
At this moment, a soft and waxy voice sounded.
The two of them looked at each other and saw a pink and tender little ball at the door. It was Xiao Niannian.
Seeing that it was her, Sheng Ziyi looked a little guilty and put the ruler back calmly.
"Nian Nian, why are you here? Are you alone?"
Sheng Ziyi looked behind her, fearing that Li Rulan would also come and see this scene.
After all, he promised her to be gentler to Xie Yunzhi in the future. If she saw this scene, she would inevitably become angry again, and then she would have to coax him for a long time.
Xiao Niannian nodded, "Yes, I sent you a few."
Sheng Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief and pinched Xiao Niannian's fleshy face. A touch of tenderness appeared on her face, which was completely different from the cold look just now.
"That's good, come and follow my aunt, and she will take you to eat cakes."
Little Niannian comes here almost every day, and she also asks the cook to prepare pastries in advance, waiting for the arrival of the greedy cat.
Before leaving, she turned back and said a cold word to Xie Yunzhi.
"Copy "The Doctrine of the Mean" to me ten times today, and you are not allowed to sleep until you finish copying it."
"yes."
Xie Yunzhi lowered his head, but when he raised his head, he saw Xiao Niannian turning back and giving him a proud look.
He stood there in a daze until the two figures, one large and one small, closely together, walked into the corridor and could no longer be seen.
He felt a little lonely and a little envious.
The last time my aunt held my hand was when she went to Shen's house on New Year's Eve last year.
This year, let alone holding hands, my aunt never looked at me more than checking her homework.
He studied hard and was meticulous in his homework, thinking that he could make his aunt closer to him.
But no matter how good his calligraphy was, even his master said he was a genius, and his aunt never praised him.
So he learned to do the opposite and deliberately wrote a few wrong words in today's homework.
He just hopes to attract his aunt's attention and let her talk to him for a while.
He felt that even if his aunt scolded and scolded him, it would be better than just ignoring him every day.
He misses his father and mother so much, he really wants someone to hold his hand, and he is so envious of little Niannian being loved by so many people...
But now, he can only stay alone in this room.
But what does that girl's look mean when she leaves?
It happened to be a coincidence that every time his aunt lost her temper and wanted to hit him, she was interrupted by the appearance of that girl.
Could it be that that girl deliberately chose this moment to appear and save him from the fire and water?
Xie Yunzhi shook his head, feeling that his idea was a bit funny.
That girl is not yet a year old. She doesn't know anything except eating. She looks naive. How could she be so smart?
However, no matter what, the girl saved herself from a few beatings.
He curled his lips in a self-deprecating tone, turned around lonely, and prepared to complete the homework assigned by his aunt.
At this moment, a small pink figure ran in and held his big hand with a soft little hand.
"Yunzhiguoguo, let's have some snacks together!"
Little Niannian was panting, her big eyes were dazzling, and she looked extremely cute.
Just as Xie Yunzhi was about to nod and say yes, he suddenly felt his palms a little sticky.
He stiffened, quickly let go of Xiao Niannian, and looked at his fingers.
I saw a lot of yellow sticky objects on his fingers, which looked like...
Xie Yunzhi swayed and almost lost his balance. He asked with trembling lips: "What is this...?"
Xiao Niannian rubbed her hands and said sheepishly: "Oh, please tell me, I'm going out today..."
"Okay!" Xie Yunzhi tried his best to control himself from fainting and said through gritted teeth, "You don't need to say any more, I understand..."
Then he passed Xiao Niannian and ran like a gust of wind to find water to wash his hands.
"Hahahaha..." Xiao Niannian looked at him running away in embarrassment and burst into laughter.
Smiling, she didn't dare to delay, and quickly raised her legs to follow.
"Yun Zhi Guo Guo! It's not as purple as you think, it's spicy like pumpkin!"
She forgot to wipe her hands while eating pumpkin, and when holding hands, she accidentally rubbed the hand of Xie Yunzhi, who has a mysophobia.
When I saw his appearance just now, I remembered my reaction when my saliva dripped onto his hand last year, so I started to play tricks on him.
After running for a while, she caught up with Xie Yunzhi.
Xie Yunzhi paused and looked at Xiao Niannian in disbelief.
"Are you telling the truth? This is a pumpkin, not that one?" This chapter has been completed!
