After Fan Yuzhuo returned home, Xie Ying finally relaxed at her grandma's house.
My mother took her to the largest department store in the provincial capital, bought her a set of New Year clothes, took her to eat delicious hot pot, and even asked her if she wanted to go to the indoor playground for a while. Xie Ying smiled and said
: "Mom, I am fifteen years old. After the Chinese New Year, it's sixteen. You still think I'm a primary school student!"
"In a blink of an eye, you have grown so old... Although you often see you now, in your mother's heart, you are still a baby!"
The three words "little baby" have great magic power. Xie Ying, who is strong all her life, almost turned into a whimper, and was in her mother's arms and acted coquettishly.
Considering that Xie Ying was going back to her hometown for the New Year, her mother bought a lot of gifts and asked her to bring them to her family. Xie Ying went to her grandfather's study to do her homework. Fan Yuzhuo packed her luggage in the room. Xie Ying's grandmother came over and asked secretly: "You
Are you really planning to send Xiaoying back to her hometown for the New Year?”
"Didn't you agree? My parents-in-law are eagerly looking forward to her going back!"
"But Xiaoying is also our granddaughter. You can't leave her here for the New Year just because she is the 'granddaughter'!"
Fan Yuzhuo said gently: "Mom, we have all the people in our family, but where is my in-laws' home? I am Xiaoying's mother, and I want to stay with her more than anyone else. However, when I think of my in-laws, I have no conditions.
Make concessions.”
"Oh, too, they are really pitiful." Grandma sighed, "But your heart is too soft. Your daughter wants to be raised by your in-laws. Xiaoying is well-behaved and sensible, and I really can't bear to leave her."
"Mom, didn't Xiaoying come to accompany you on your own initiative? Didn't she come here every holiday? This was also what my parents-in-law took the initiative to send her over, and they were still very reasonable."
But grandma was still not convinced: "She was so close to her grandparents, but coming to my house was like a strange little customer... Whenever I think of this, I would think that she is really a granddaughter, just close to our family.
Don't get up."
"Mom, the reason why Xiaoying is not close enough to our family is not because you are the "outside grandma". "Fan Yuzhuo whispered: "We should look for the reason from the atmosphere of our family."
The two of them calmed down and listened to each other. Grandpa was talking to Xie Ying about "Das Kapital".
Fan Yuzhuo shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Not to mention a high school student who is not very experienced in the world, even a middle-aged man who has experienced vicissitudes of life, I may not understand it."
The two uncles took their girlfriends home for dinner, and Xie Ying finally didn't have to accept grandpa's extracurricular tutoring. Grandpa cordially met the visiting guests in the study, asked about their recent work situation, and asked them about their next stage of work
Important arrangements were made for related matters such as feelings, career, etc. The four young people listened quietly, and Xie Ying slipped into the room and kneaded melon seeds.
Grandma’s family has so many delicious foods, but what she misses the most is the candied haws she bought on her way off work and the roasted sweet potatoes she put in her arms. That is the winter delicacy.
During the meal, Xie Ying saw what the two (future) aunts looked like. Although they were young and beautiful, and dressed dignifiedly, in Xie Ying's opinion, their mothers were the most beautiful.
Everyone was eating quietly, feeling a little embarrassed. Xie Ying remembered her grandfather's yard again. When guests came to drink at home, the yard was always noisy, with the sound of urging and laughter endlessly, even the restrained brother Zhou Er
, can be infected by the lively atmosphere and quarrel with everyone.
"You are Xiaoying? Your uncle often mentions you to me."
My aunt's words broke Xie Ying's thoughts, and she said hurriedly: "What do my uncle say to me?"
"He said you are optimistic and strong, have good academic performance, and are singing great."
Xie Ying said shyly: "I am just an ordinary high school student... not as good as my uncle said."
My aunt said gently: "When we get married, would you like to sing a blessing song for us? "Agreement" will be great. Then we will be very happy!"
"Of course I do it! That's my honor!" Xie Ying saw her mother's encouraging eyes and said with a smile: "As long as I can catch up, I will sing for you."
"I often hear your second uncle talk about you." The second aunt also interrupted, "In order to take care of your grandparents, you have always stayed in your hometown. No matter how good the environment in the provincial capital is, you have never wavered. Your second uncle said
Although you are a girl, you are very loyal and filial."
Not long after my second aunt graduated from college, she still looks like a childish college student. Maybe she is not as steady as other adults, but what she says is the most real. Xie Ying has very little interaction with her two uncles, and she thinks they treat her.
The praise only stays on the surface of politeness. Unexpectedly, they actually know her very well...jujia?y.??m
My second uncle said embarrassedly: "Xiaoying is indeed popular. If it weren't for her deep feelings for her grandparents, I would be willing to let her live in our house."
Xie Ying giggled and answered appropriately: "It's not easy to raise children. My grandparents have worked hard to raise me. I have been here for so many days, and my grandparents have worked much harder than usual. I will do it in the future
I come here often because I grow up, so I don’t have to add too much burden to adults.”
"Oh, Xiaoying's little mouth, why is she so good at speaking?" Grandma raised her glass of wine and suggested that everyone drink a glass of wine: "This glass of wine is for the smart and cute baby Xiaoying."
...It was the "baby" again, and Xie Ying's heart was almost melted. Although grandparents were very serious, through these names, Xie Ying could sense their feelings - they really love themselves!
The adults praised Xie Ying for being able to speak. She blushed when she was praised and said, "My grandparents are welcoming and hospitality, and often entertain guests at home. Every time the guests come, we have to learn to toast. Xie Jing is so young, and he still knows to carry him.
The wine glass says auspicious words!”
Xie Ying's grandmother's family had different opinions on adopting Xie Jing. What's more, their reasons for adopting Xie Jing are so outrageous. If they say it out, others may not believe it, but instead laugh at them. But so many years have passed, Xie Jing has also
When they grow up, they don’t have much time to say anything else.
The supper that day was the most comfortable meal Xie Ying had ever had at her grandma's house. But she keenly realized that the two aunts and mothers were not close to each other. They didn't talk much to their mothers because they sympathized with their mothers or
Look down on your mother?
Lying in the quilt, Xie Ying discussed this issue with her mother. Fan Yuzhuo smiled and asked, "Isn't it because they envy me?"
"Your life is so hard, why do they envy it?"
"Because my love with your father is very romantic, it's so romantic." Fan Yuzhuo looked at the ceiling with bright eyes: "Their marriage will be very successful, because it was carefully selected by parents of both sides. And I and I
Your dad is so exciting... More importantly, with such a cute baby as you, how could they not envy it?"
"Brother Chen!"
"Um!"
When Chen Changqing was walking on the road, he would say hello or nod when he met someone he knew.
But no matter who it is.
Everyone had no extra expression on their faces, as if they were very indifferent to everything.
Regarding this.
Chen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Department, it is an institution to maintain the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.
It can be said.
In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone's hands were stained with a lot of blood.
When a person is used to life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When Chen Changqing first came to this world, he was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.
The Demon Suppressing Division is very big.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppression Department are all powerful masters or those with the potential to become masters.
Chen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressing Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian and the other is the Demon Elimination Envoy.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts with the lowest level of Demon Elimination Envoy.
Then he will be promoted step by step and will eventually become a guardian.
Chen Changqing's predecessor was an intern in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest-level Demon Suppression Envoy.
Have the memory of the predecessor.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long, Chen Changqing stopped in front of an attic.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppression Division, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and it presents a different tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppression Division.
At this time, the attic door is open and occasionally someone enters and exits.
Chen Changqing just hesitated for a moment and then stepped in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
A scent of ink mixed with a faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow frown instinctively, but it stretched quickly.
The bloody smell on everyone in the Demon Suppression Department is almost impossible to clean.
