In the past, Mr. Xiao might have believed the words of the young man in front of him.
But after suffering the double "shock" of white plum blossoms and invisible fish in the pond, the old man finally understood this title.
However, he did not embarrass the young man in front of him who seemed a little nervous. Instead, he stepped aside and said, "I am Xiaoxiao's grandpa."
"come in."
"Xiaoxiao, that kid hasn't gotten up yet."
…
Chi Xiuchuan was stunned.
There is an inexplicable feeling of "anticlimactic".
Just when he thought that the old man would not let him pass so easily, the old man just let him in so lightly.
Although he didn't quite understand it, Chi Xiuchuan was naturally not stupid enough to ask why.
It would be great if we could skip the topic just now.
"Excuse me, Grandpa Xiao."
…
He declined Aunt Xiao's breakfast invitation.
It was already a bit rude to come to someone else's house so early than the agreed time. If he did it again, he would be really embarrassed.
Moreover, he had eaten breakfast before going out.
...
This time I came to Master Xiao’s house not because of the dinner party.
He is here to be a driver.
...
Sitting in the living room waiting for Master Xiao.
The tea served by Aunt Xiao on the coffee table was filled with white mist, and the fragrance of tea was overflowing.
...
After sitting for a while, he couldn't help but get up and walk to the yard.
When he walked in before, he wanted to find an opportunity to visit the yard of Master Xiao's house.
...
Because this yard, which is not very big, actually has two ponds of different sizes.
This surprised Chi Xiuchuan, who was seeing such a layout for the first time.
...
He looked at the trees on both sides.
One tree is a sycamore tree.
This is not difficult to recognize.
What surprised him was that the sycamore tree looked very old.
The tree trunks are gnarled, the branches are criss-crossed, and the dense leaves cast large shadows on the water below.
...
In the hot summer, the dim colors look particularly cool and pleasant.
...
Another tree…
Chi Xiuchuan couldn't help but walked over.
Is it a plum tree?
He looked up at the long and strong branches, with green leaves spread all over them.
The faint sunlight outlined a thin halo.
...
This plum tree must be quite old.
Chi Xiuchuan was thoughtful.
...
Moving his eyes downward, he saw a set of stone tables and benches that were rather clumsy.
A round stone table with five stone benches distributed around it.
...
He could imagine that when winter comes and the plum blossoms bloom, Master Xiao and his family will sit on the stone bench and enjoy the plum blossoms.
.....
Chi Xiuchuan lowered his head and looked at the pond under the plum tree.
Apart from being slightly larger than the pond under the sycamore tree, there is almost no difference between the two.
There are duckweeds all over the water.
The clear and clean water surface can be seen between the duckweeds. The sunlight falls on it and sparkles.
...
A golden figure flashed into the corner of his eye.
Before Chi Xiuchuan could take a closer look, he heard Master Xiao's voice.
He looked up, and the next second, a clear smile appeared on his face, "Master Xiao, good morning."
...
"Won't."
Xiao Xiao shook his head, "Have you had breakfast?"
...
"have eaten."
Chi Xiuchuan suddenly looked like he was remembering something, "Master Xiao, you haven't had breakfast yet, right?"
...
"You don't have to worry about me."
"I'll just take a look in the yard."
"May I?"
...
"Can."
Xiao Xiao glanced at the white plum blossoms covered with green leaves.
The eyebrows are slightly curved.
...
He told Mei Nu yesterday.
With Mei Nu's intelligence, she would know what to do without him having to say anything later.
...
"Then I'm going to have breakfast first."
"Well, you can do whatever you want."
...
"correct."
Xiao Xiao stopped his movement to turn around and looked at Chi Xiuchuan, who was a little confused by his words, "Achuan, do you hate desserts?"
...
Chi Xiuchuan:?
Although he was a little confused, he still answered honestly: "I don't hate it."
"Xiuxiu likes to eat desserts, and I always eat them with her."
Thinking of his sister, the corners of Chi Xiuchuan's mouth turned up unconsciously.
...
"Understood."
Xiao Xiao has long been accustomed to Chi Xiuchuan's sister-control attributes.
This time he didn't stop, he turned and returned to the living room.
...
"Xiaoxiao."
Mother Xiao's eyes lit up, she was looking for this child.
"Do you think these snacks are enough?"
Mother Xiao pointed to the three-layer food box on the dining table.
...
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.
They are not going on a picnic.
So many snacks…
...
However, it was Xiao's mother's wish after all. He curled his lips and said, "Mom, thank you."
"That's almost enough."
"You don't have to do it anymore."
...
After breakfast, Xiao Xiao and Chi Xiuchuan drank tea and chatted under the white plum tree.
...
"It turns out this is a white plum tree!"
Chi Xiuchuan suddenly realized, "It must be beautiful when it blooms in winter."
...
"yes."
Xiao Xiao took a sip of tea, and instantly, the rich fragrance of tea lingered in his teeth.
“It’s beautiful.”
He put down the teacup and looked up at the branches above.
The sun shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, casting mottled circles of light.
...
When the time comes, if the green leaves are replaced by white plums, it will be so beautiful, right?
...
"Dong dong~"
There was a sudden knock on the door.
...
"Come in, the door is unlocked."
Xiao Xiao shouted without any surprise.
...
Immediately, he stood up and walked towards the courtyard door.
Chi Xiuchuan stood up.
...
"Big brother!"
The door was pushed open, and a small figure jumped happily towards Xiao Xiao's direction.
...
"Little bell, wait for me."
Yu Baozhu was a little out of breath while chasing.
...
The alley outside Big Brother's door is not wide enough to allow a car to drive in.
So, they all got off the car at the entrance of the alley and walked in.
...
Little Bell ran all the way from the alley entrance to here.
There was a pause when she knocked on the door just now, and she finally took a breath.
As a result, the little bell is running again!
...
Although it was still early, there was already a hint of heat in the air.
Yu Baozhu touched his forehead.
There are slight sweat stains.
So, they were obviously not late, why did they have to run away?!
...
Before Xiao Xiao could respond to the little bell, another crisp female voice came over.
"Big brother."
"Good morning."
Ruan Xinyan, who then walked in, bowed slightly and said politely, "I'm sorry to trouble you today."
...
"Won't."
Xiao Xiao shook his head, "I wanted to see it myself."
"but-"
"Have you made an appointment?"
Xiao Xiao was a little funny, "How come they all arrived together?"
He didn't expect that the three little girls would arrive together.
...
"No (not)."
The three children blurted out almost at the same time.
...
"Little Lingdang and I made an appointment to come together."
