When the two returned to the Jiang family, it was almost dark. Old Wu, who had taken care of them, took a broom to clean the fallen leaves in the yard. When they saw the two, they showed a kind smile, "Here you are back!"

Su Xi handed over the pastry he bought on the way back and said warmly, "I came in a hurry and didn't prepare well. Mr. Ling just bought the pastry. Please give it to Grandpa Jiang."

Mr. Wu took it over and nodded kindly, "Thank you, I've made you spend money!"

Su Xi nodded slightly and walked towards the backyard with Ling Jiuze's hand.

Mr. Wu looked at the backs of the two. He didn't look back until they entered the door. He looked at the pastries in the box, including the carrot cake that Mr. Jiang liked to eat and the hazelnut crisps that he liked to eat.

Mr. Wu's smile became deeper. He put down the broom and slowly went to Jiang's house with the pastries.

The food at night was still delicious and exquisite. During the meal, Su Xi teased, "Is this the Jiang family considered a preferential treatment for prisoners?"

Ling Jiuze chuckled, "Although Mr. Jiang has a strange temper, he is also from a common person, so he naturally has a strong and demeanor."

After saying that, he added lightly, "No one of the Jiang family will be bad!"

Su Xi raised her eyes, her eyes clear, and she pinched her favorite crab leg to him, "The old man will definitely smile secretly when he hears you."

Ling Jiuze suddenly asked, "Where are your family living?"

Su Xi took a bite of crab roe, swallowed it before looking up and said, "Not far from here, the square we rode our bikes to the west, and it's my house."

"Why didn't you say it earlier? We can go over and take a look." Ling Jiuze said.

"I'm just telling you a rough location, and it's still a distance away. Besides, grandpa is not there, what are you going back to do?"

Su Xi said casually and picked up bamboo shoots for Ling Jiuze, "You must not be able to eat this kind of mountain bamboo shoot outside, so eat more."

After dinner, it was completely dark. Mr. Wu came over and took them to the garden to see the ephemerals.

The Epiphyllum is grown under a purple-leaf vine. There are three pots in total, all of which are peacock Epiphyllum.

Under the flower vine, Mr. Wu thoughtfully asked someone to prepare rattan chairs, thin blankets, and hot tea for them, and told them earnestly, "Although it is summer, the night wind is very cool here. You two should take care of yourself."

"Yes, thank you!" Ling Jiuze thanked me warmly.

Mr. Wu looked at Su Xi again, "These three pots of flowers will bloom about ten tonight. I will put them on the table over there. The place where I sleep is not far from here. You can do it if you are thirsty and hungry.

Greet me."

Su Xi said gratefully, "Thank you, Grandpa Wu, we understand, you can sleep soundly."

Mr. Wu smiled and nodded before he slowly walked away with a hunched back.

Ling Jiuze looked at the old man's back and said indifferently, "This old housekeeper is very kind."

Su Xi nodded, "Yes, the old man is a kind person at first glance.

The two sat down on rattan chairs, and the street lights in the yard shone on the flower vines. They looked up and looked like a handful of fireworks, dim and warm.

Ling Jiuze poured water for Su Xi, "Sleep for a while, I will look at these pots of flowers."

Su Xi shook her head, "I'm not sleepy yet, let's chat."

"What are you talking about?" The man leaned on the back of the chair, his figure was quite noble. His beige sleeves rolled up a little, revealing a piece of his wrist. The hazy light shone on it, which was completely pampering and meticulous.

Su Xi thought for a while and asked, "Have you ever thought about getting married?"

Ling Jiuze turned to look at her, his eyes were as dark as the night, and he said lightly, "I'm married."
