"Nai, you haven't introduced me to your cousin yet." A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl next to her made a voice at this time, reminding her of her existence.
"Oh oh oh, I haven't introduced you yet, Xiaoyu, this is your second uncle's little girl. She usually can't sit still for a moment, and she is most naughty." Zhou Suqin introduced with a smile.
"Milk! How could I be naughty? I'm usually the most gentle." Xie Xiaoyan stamped her foot and turned away in annoyance. She was still thinking about leaving a good impression on this little cousin she had just met. Now,
All her plans were disrupted by grandma.
You must know that apart from her nephew, a two-year-old baby, she is the youngest in the family. Now that someone is finally here who is a little younger than her, she can't get over the addiction of being a sister.
"Yes, yes, my Xiaoyan is not naughty, she is the most gentle." Zhou Suqin said while holding back a smile.
"Hahaha!"
"Pfft, hahaha! You are gentle, you are gentle, are you trying to laugh me to death?" Xie Xiaohui took a sip of water, turned around and laughed.
"Grandma, look at him!" Xie Xiaoyan angrily threw herself at Xie Xiaohui, and the two began to fight.
Watching the two of them playing around, Zhou Suqin couldn't help but smile and said: "Xiaoyu, your second uncle and his two children are usually happy enemies. When they are far away, they can't think of anything, and when they are close, they fight."
, there is nothing you can do against them. However, they are both brothers and sisters who are good at playing, so let them take you for a walk when the time comes."
The quarrel lasted for a while, but no one stopped them. They all looked at it as a joke, and then both of them stopped.
"Little cousin, I will take you to play tomorrow. I know all the good places nearby." Xie Xiaoyan also patted her chest to show the credibility of her words.
"Okay, Sister Xiaoyan." Although he was a little uncomfortable calling a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl sister, he got used to it.
"It's better to be my little cousin." Xie Xiaoyan finally heard him call her sister, and while talking, she proudly showed off to Xie Xiaohui.
Xie Xiaohui was choked and wanted to refute, but thought that he had offended her once just now, so let's forget it this time.
After the introduction, the family began to work for dinner, and Zhang Yu finally had time to observe the yard carefully.
It was a typical northeastern yard, with both front and back yards very large. The front yard he saw alone was at least half an acre of land.
In addition to the three main houses where grandpa and his family live, there are also three or four houses on the east and west sides, which should be occupied by the two uncles.

Although the two families are not separated now and still eat from the same pot, the land they live in has been divided.
The eldest uncle's family lives in the house on the east side, and the second uncle lives on the west side. Of course, this is because he saw his eldest aunt bringing things out of the house on the east side.
He thought that his grandfather should have thought about it. If he wanted to separate the family in the future, he could just erect a wall in the middle.
While he was looking at the yard, Xie Xiaolin came out of the house holding his son.
"How's it going? Is the yard okay?"
Zhang Yu actually envied this kind of single-family house. The neighbors in the courtyard where they lived were relatively nice. They were not as busy as the people in the courtyard next door, and they were all kind-hearted.
But there are times when teeth still touch lips, and there are times when a family quarrels. When there are more people, there will always be some conflicts. Although they don’t quarrel every day, there will be quarrels every now and then.
And the most important thing is that it is not very convenient. If there is something going on at home or something delicious to cook, everyone in the yard will know about it in a short time.
There really is no privacy at all. Sometimes Zhang Yu feels that he is careful enough in what he does, but he still attracts people's attention and causes people to discuss the affairs of his family behind his back.
But he was asked to move out of the courtyard now, and he was a little reluctant. After all, my sister-in-law and the others were still in the courtyard, and they refused to move out with him.
He has a problem, he doesn't like people paying attention to his private affairs. Too much excitement will upset him, but let him live alone in a courtyard, he will feel lonely and have random thoughts.
In fact, in later generations, many elderly people thought that living in buildings now had no human touch, and neighbors did not interact with each other very much. Some even lived there for several years and did not even know what their neighbors next door looked like.
But he preferred that kind of environment, especially since although he lived in a shared house at the time, he basically only knew what each other looked like, but he didn't know the specific situation.
There is some tacit understanding between them, that is, they never disturb each other, they always keep quiet, but they only nod and say hello to each other when they meet.
Therefore, although Zhang Yu is very quiet every time he is at home, because he knows that there is someone accompanying him next door, this kind of interaction will neither be too lively nor make him feel lonely.
This is the most comfortable day for him, the environment and atmosphere he enjoys the most, which makes his heart settle down.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but smile, "Yeah." Xie Xiaolin mistook his smile for satisfaction with the house and laughed too.
While laughing, she introduced him: "You came late this year and didn't get to eat anything in the yard.
The bigger one here is the jujube tree. It was there before the house was built. It was because of the jujube tree that my grandfather bought this piece of land.
Every year when the dates are ripe, they will attract groups of children to stop outside the door. Although there are no fresh dates at home now, there are still dried dates. I will let you try them later. They are so sweet!
Two grapes were planted at the door. No, now only the grape shed is left. They have only been planted for two years, but they are still growing branches and leaves but no fruit.
There is a persimmon tree in the backyard. Every year at the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, the leaves on the persimmon tree fall clean and are covered with heavy persimmons. Those translucent red persimmons are like little red lanterns..." Xie Xiaolin
Obviously he is quite satisfied with his current house, and he couldn't stop once he introduced it.
"How about it? Do you want to stay for a while?" It was only then that Xie Xiaolin revealed his purpose.
"I..." Zhang Yu didn't know what to say for a moment.
Xie Xiaolin thoughtfully changed the subject, "This is my son. He is two years old this year. How do you want to hug him?"
After saying that, he put the child into Zhang Yu's arms, looked at his stiff look, and burst into laughter. "Xiaoyu, you have to practice hard. In a few years, you will be able to hold your own son."
.”
Zhang Yu hugged the child and looked at the child's confused look at his sudden change of arms. His heart suddenly felt so soft. The innocence of children always makes people feel soft-hearted.
