The phone rang at the right time, interrupting Yan Xi's urge to fight with Fu Yanchi.
The number on Laixian was familiar to Yan Xi, it was Yan Qin.
Although they were only cousins, he and Yan Qin had many connections, and they often attended gatherings in the circle together in Kyoto.
Later, Yan Qin expanded his business in Huicheng, but he was not interested in this. The two of them did their own things, so they had less contact.
Yan Xi snorted and pressed the answer button. No matter how few contacts she made, it would still be better than Fu Yanchi.
Fu Yanchi has never called him, and I'm afraid she doesn't even know his number.
I never considered him a younger brother at all.
"Hey, cousin." After calling out, Yan Xi lowered her head and rubbed her toes against the limestone ground.
Qiqi saw her uncle talking on the phone and walked away obediently, leaving her big pig to accompany her uncle.
The baby stepped on her little water shoes and ran to the kitchen in a bounding motion, her slightly long little arms swaying along with her.
In the kitchen, Zhang Xifeng, Uncle Gui, Uncle Xiang, and Meng Jingxian began to work on dinner again.
Farmers eat early, and most of the time they start cooking dinner before it gets dark.
In addition, there are many people in the family, so it takes a lot of time to keep busy.
When Qi Qi entered, the place was bustling with activity. Four elders of similar age were chatting in pairs, carrying firewood to light the fire, and washing and cooking vegetables.
Things in the kitchen were taken care of by the four adults. Qiqi wandered around but couldn't find any work. She didn't leave either. She would hand a clean wooden basin to the grandmother who was washing vegetables, and give a beating to the mother-in-law who was cooking.
Beat your legs.
Taking advantage of my small body, I was squeezed in all directions.
"Grandma, be careful when washing vegetables. Don't get your clothes wet. You may catch a cold easily."
"Mother-in-law, you have been busy for a long time today. Qiqi will give you a leg massage. When you rest, I will give you a back massage and a shoulder massage. I know how to do it."
Meng Jingxian and Zhang Xifeng were coaxed to smile by the baby's little mouth.
Especially Zhang Xifeng.
As the hostess, she naturally has to be busy when guests come to the house, and she has almost never stopped from noon to now.
Although the work in the kitchen is not heavy, as I get older, I will inevitably feel a little overwhelmed when working for a long time.
And her little Qiqi saw all of this.
For Zhang Xifeng, this feeling of being cared about and cared about was enough to sweep away all fatigue.
"Well, my mother-in-law also thinks that we know Qiqi well and can make people happy." The old woman's eyes were full of smile lines, her heart was burning, and her mouth was teasing.
Qi Qi's little face immediately blushed, but she nodded with bright eyes, super sure of herself, "That's right, Qi Qi has a sweet mouth!"
The adults were so amused that their laughter almost lifted the roof.
The Zhang family's yard is small, and the distance from the kitchen to the loquat tree is only a dozen steps.
What was said inside could be clearly heard outside.
Yan Xi raised the corner of her mouth and laughed before suddenly coming back to her senses, "Ah, cousin, what did you just say?"
The other end seemed to pause for a moment, "Where are you? It's a bit noisy around here."
"We were playing outside. There were so many people and it was so noisy." Yan Xi replied casually, a little absent-mindedly. The little kid in the kitchen was laughing and giggling, and she didn't know where she could get so much happiness.
"Outside? My uncle is with you too? The people in Kyoto said that my uncle didn't go to the company all day today. They were worried that something might happen to him, so people looking for him came to me." The other end smiled, helplessly, "You put it there
Tell me where it is, and I will explain it to them, so that everyone can feel at ease."
"Hey, I don't know where he has gone. I just had a big argument with him this morning and ran out on my own. It's not because of Fu Yanchi's sick boy. Talking about him bothers me, so let's not talk about it anymore. I have a girl.
Just call me and hang up."
After hanging up the phone, Yan Xi slowly raised her eyes, her eyes clear and sharp.
The cousin is trying to trick him.
Hey, this is their Yan family, the most wealthy family in Kyoto.
"Why don't you tell him the truth?"
There was a sudden voice behind him, which scared Yan Xi. She turned around and glared at the man, "I want you to take care of it!"
Fu Yanchi raised her eyebrows, stretched out her long arm, and gave the hairy young man a handful on his head.
"Thank you." he said.
Yan Xi was stunned, and immediately slapped his hand away when she realized what she was doing. Jun's face turned red as if he was angry, "Who dared you to touch my hair?! I'm not on good terms with you!"
snort!
Giving Fu Yanchi a fierce look, Yanxi turned around and rushed out of the small fenced courtyard.
Fu Yanchi looked at the angry back of the young man and whistled in a good mood.
The figure that rushed out was slightly sluggish, and the resentment in his body became even stronger.
Tsk tsk, it’s still the same firecracker that I used to fire up when I was little.
Yan Xi didn't go far after leaving the small courtyard, and stopped at the corner. He really didn't know what to do with the road conditions in front of him, which were unseen in Kyoto Hwaseong.
There was stagnant water and mud everywhere on the road. It was so muddy that your shoes were completely covered in mud when you stepped on it.
The dozen or so steps he took just now were all filled with water. Now the leather shoes are filled with water, and they make a popping sound when he takes a step.
The young master who beats Xiaojinjiaoyugui has never experienced such humiliation and embarrassment.
It's all the fault of that bastard Fu Yanchi!
With a dark face, Yan Xi carefully chose a place where there was no water and squatted down.
The yard was right behind him, the man was shouting about the moon like a rogue, the child was giggling happily and innocently, the vegetables made a sizzling sound when being put into the pot, and the elders started bickering again, creating a murmur of noise.
It seemed extremely lively.
The air, which is especially fresh after heavy rain, is filled with the aroma of vegetables and the unique aroma of wood burning from firewood.
It's all about the smell of fireworks.
Yan Xi was outside the bustle and amidst the fireworks, and her restless heart suddenly calmed down strangely.
He just didn't tell Yan Qin the truth.
As a member of a wealthy family, I have long developed the habit of speaking to others and leaving nine points behind.
It is not appropriate to publicize Qiqi's affairs to the outside world before the family has made arrangements.
Otherwise, Qiqi's peaceful life may soon be destroyed.
Yan Xi snorted.
...He is either protecting Qiqi, or he is too lazy to deal with so many things.
...Even if Qi Qi is protected, it is for the sake of Qi Qi's young age, and definitely not for Fu Yanchi!
"Agui, let's put the dining table in the main room. We can't sit in the kitchen. It's wet everywhere in the yard, so it's hard to set the table." In the kitchen, Zhang Xifeng said while loading the dishes, "dinner will be served soon."
Qiqi skillfully ran to the cupboard, opened the door and took the dishes and chopsticks, "Mother-in-law, let me put the dishes and chopsticks!"
After that, he shouted outside the yard, "Dad, don't call me mom all the time. Please help me move the stool!"
She had to find some work for her father, and she couldn't make him look so useless.
"Qiqi, daddy has no strength!" The man lamented and shook his limp arms to prove that what he said was true. After that, he raised his voice and shouted outside, "Yanxi, slug, come here and move the stool."
Have a meal!"
"Fu Yanchi, if you call me a slug again, I'm not done with you! I'm sick!" The young man rushed back to the yard angrily, extremely angry.
Who hasn’t had a runny nose as a child?
It happened once when he was a child. When he was still more than two years old and was still ignorant, he was caught and laughed at by Fu Yanchi, a bastard, for twenty years!
