While Mrs. Xiao was talking, Grandma Sun interrupted from time to time and said a few words, not only talking about Xiao Kezhong's childhood, but also about Xiao Youduo.
"It's strange to say that compared to when they were young and when they grew up, the two gentlemen seem to have changed personalities." Grandma Sun suddenly said.
Xiao Youduo said lightly: "I have completely forgotten what my temper was like when I was a child."
"That's right, Youduo lost his previous memory after the collision." Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Youduo and frowned, "Did you never recall it later?"
"No." Xiao Youduo didn't care, "Anyway, it's just a memory from childhood. It's not a big deal. If you forget it, just forget it."
Xuan Bao interjected: "Wow, it would be bad if I forget too. I won't remember my grandmother, mother and brothers."
"Nonsense, you are so good, how could you forget it?" Mrs. Xiao scolded with a smile.
"Brother Youduo hit his head and forgot about it. My eldest brother didn't hit his head but seemed to have forgotten a lot of things." Xuan Bao said pretending to be casual, but in fact he was secretly observing Mrs. Xiao.
After being stunned for a moment, Mrs. Xiao asked, "What did your elder brother forget?"
"I don't know. I only heard that my elder brother can't remember clearly what happened when I was a child."
After hearing Xuan Bao's words, Mrs. Xiao was thoughtful, and the little boy turned to Xiao Youduo.
"Brother Youduo, will you rest for a few days when you come back this time?"
"I want to rush back to the academy overnight."
Hearing this, Mrs. Xiao came to her senses and said, "Stay in the house for a few more days to accompany my grandmother."
Xiao Youduo bowed slightly and remained silent. He wanted to say something but did not dare to say it. When he was hesitating, Xuan Bao had already spoken first.
"Grandma, brother Youduo is very motivated. He wants to take the scientific examination."
"Scientific examination? You want to take the scientific examination?" Mrs. Xiao was very surprised.
Now that Xuan Bao has revealed everything, Xiao Youduo has nothing to hide: "Yes, my grandson wants to take the scientific examination."
Mrs. Xiao was silent for a while and sighed slowly: "You want to make a name for yourself with your true skills."
"Brother Youduo is well done." Xuanbao gave a thumbs up, "You are more ambitious than my elder brother."
"I am different from your elder brother." Xiao Youduo showed a wry smile.
"Xiao Liao has treated you badly these years." Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Youduo with a complicated expression, "I don't know what they are thinking, but what should be a treasure is treated as grass."
"It doesn't matter, Youduo will always remember the kindness of my parents in giving birth to and raising me."
"In this case, you should go back to the academy now. It is not safe to travel at night." Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Youduo with a look of relief, "Grandma is not in a hurry to leave. You can come back to accompany me when Mu Mu's day comes."
"Yes, then the grandson will show up and retire."
Grandma Sun was ordered to send Xiao Youduo out, and Mrs. Xiao's eyes fell on Xuan Bao.
"Why is grandma looking at me like this?"
"You and Youduo are more like brothers and sisters. He will definitely hide the scientific examination from your second uncle and his wife."
"Brother Youduo should have only told me before." Xuan Bao's face dropped, "Second uncle and the others only have the bad guy Xiao Youfeng in their hearts, not his son at all."
"Youfeng is also your cousin." Mrs. Xiao frowned displeased.
"I'm so unlucky to have a cousin like him." Xuan Bao crackled and told the story of his relationship with Xiao Youfeng.
Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but get angry as she listened: "That child actually let them develop like this?"
"If grandma doesn't believe it, you can ask around. Everything I say is true."
Grandma Sun went and came back: "What is true?"
"Tell me, what did that little beast Xiao Youfeng do? You actually hid it from me." Mrs. Xiao patted the armrest of the chair.
Grandma Sun quickly knelt down and said, "Old lady, I was thinking that you had just come back, so I was afraid that you would be angry. I wanted to wait until you settle down before reporting."
"So, what Xuan Bao said is true." Old Mrs. Xiao was very disappointed, "It's really a disgrace to my Xiao family."
"Grandma, if Brother Youduo is so good, why don't the second uncle and the second aunt like Xiao Youfeng instead of liking him?" Xuan Bao's big eyes flashed with questions, "Isn't he their son?"
"Youduo came out of Fang Rongru's belly. I was watching him in the house when he was born." Mrs. Xiao also couldn't understand, "Xiao Liao and his wife are blind. How come they don't cherish such a good child?
Father and son are reunited, mother and son are separated."
"Those two are blind. Although that child Youduo didn't say anything, just because he wanted to secretly participate in the scientific examination, it can be seen that freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and he is chilling."
Xuan Bao secretly praised Mrs. Xiao for being so discerning and able to see Xiao Youduo's thoughts right away.
"My mother doesn't know that. No matter how bad my eldest brother is, she loves him very much." Xuan Bao intentionally or unintentionally turned the topic to Xiao Kezhong.
"Tell me, how is your elder brother now?" Mrs. Xiao looked at Xuan Bao with a half-smile, "You are really brave, little guy. I finally saw it. You came here to give me eye drops."
of."
"Grandma is wise." Xuan Bao didn't feel at all flustered by being exposed, or even the slightest bit embarrassed. She raised her smile openly and was filled with dismay.
Grandma Sun was amused by Xuan Bao: "The county master is really cute."
"I'm not cute, I'm bad. Come to grandma and give me eye drops."
Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but laugh: "Look, she still doesn't want to suffer. I said it casually, but she complained."
Since Mrs. Xiao had seen through her little thoughts and the Xuan Bao was not hidden, she reported everything about Xiao Kezhong truthfully.
"I don't understand. As the saying goes, there is truth in the world. The truth is on mother's side. He should defend it, but the eldest brother is indiscriminate. I don't even understand. Is he my mother's son or not?
Second aunt’s son.”
"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Xiao shouted loudly, raising her voice.
Xuan Bao was frightened and had a look of astonishment on her face. Then her eyes turned red and tears rolled in her eyes but did not fall. The little baby sniffed and stubbornly refused to let those two tears fall.
There was guilt in Mrs. Xiao's eyes. Such a little person might be really frightened, but she couldn't tell her to surrender to the little baby.
"Xuanbao, please go back first." Mrs. Xiao gave a look to Grandma Sun, "Send her out."
Xia Yu and Dong Xue's eyes were red when they saw Xuan Bao coming out. They were both shocked. Could it be that the old lady was making things difficult for the county leader? They hurried forward.
"County Master, the old lady didn't mean it, she just blurted it out." Grandma Sun explained to Xuan Bao with a smile.
The corners of the little doll's lips raised into a smile: "It's my fault for making grandma angry. Don't worry, Grandma Sun, I won't take it to heart."
Seeing that Xuan Bao was sincere, Grandma Sun smiled and nodded: "The county master is very transparent, so I won't say more."
"Grandma Sun, stay here. Grandma is without you to serve her." Xuan Bao gave Grandma Sun a gift as a junior, and she hurriedly returned the gift.
