A girl of sixteen or seventeen years old came running gracefully, with long flowing hair, bright black eyes, and a charming and charming look.
Chen Xinzhi was slightly stunned and looked at her steadily.
Everyone laughed one after another.
"Yo! Xiaoxin is back!"
The arrival of the beautiful girl instantly enlivened the atmosphere in the hall, adding a cheerful and youthful tone.
When Xue Xin saw Zhu Achun, she smiled in surprise and rushed forward.
"Auntie, long time no see! Auntie, I wish you a happy new year and good health!"
Zhu Achun hugged her and narrowed his eyes with a smile.
"Our little Xin has grown a lot taller! Look, she's already taller than me! She's become a girl, and she's so beautiful that even my aunt can't see her!"
Everyone laughed.
Xue Ling said warmly: "She and the third child have both grown a lot this year, half of their heads have grown taller.
The third child is now almost 1.75 meters tall, and she is also almost 1.7 meters tall."
Zhu Achun caressed Xiaoxin's long hair lovingly, "The children are all like my wife and husband. They are tall and good-looking.
Where did Xiaoxin go just now?
Want to pay New Year’s greetings to your elders?”
Xiaoxin snuggled next to Zhu Achun, giggling happily.
"After the reunion dinner, I went to pay New Year's greetings to my master.
His house is very lively tonight, with dozens or twenty children, grandchildren, and granddaughters making a lot of noise.
They wanted to stay up late and let me stay too.
I said it was too late to go home, so I sneaked back.
My brothers said they would light up fireworks in the garden tonight to celebrate the New Year, and I don’t want to miss it.”
Zhu Achun smiled: "Be careful when playing with fireworks."
"Um."
Xue Xin nodded obediently and said with a smile: "Brothers don't dare to buy big fireworks, they are the kind that are small and can be held in the hand one by one.
Auntie, don't worry.
We don’t dare to play with fire.”
Liu Ying on the side said lovingly: "It won't be too cold during the Chinese New Year this year. We seniors also plan to go to the garden with you to play."
"Okay!"
Xiaoxin cheered.
Zheng Duoduo grabbed the snow-white scarf around her neck and asked jokingly: "What about me?
What should I wish you?
I haven’t seen you say hello to me for a long time!”
"Brother Toto!"
Xue Xin hugged his arm and said sweetly: "I wish you a lot of money, a lot of beauty, and a lot of beauties around you!"
Zheng Duoduo laughed loudly and surrounded her.
"No matter how big or small you are all day long! I call your dad 'Brother', and you all call me 'Brother'! The generations are all in chaos!"
When he lived in Ronghua Mall, he was only a teenager. Tietou was a little younger than him, and everyone else was a few years younger than him.
Cheng Huanran and Xue Yang played behind them all day long and refused to call them "uncle". They always called them "brother."
Later, when Xiao Chong and Xiao Xin were born, they started shouting together, and they got used to it.
Everyone laughed.
Xue Xin frowned mischievously and said with a smile: "How old uncle! You are only in your twenties and thirties, so you are so anxious to be a little old man?"
Zheng Duoduo smiled fondly: "Naughty devil!"
Zhu Achun took Xiaoxin's hand and pointed to the corner.
"Xin'er, look! Who's coming over there?"
Xue Xin looked along her hand and saw two men standing in the dim light.
At first glance, she saw her father. The man next to her was in a straight suit. He was actually half a head taller than her father. He was tall, thin and straight, cold and noble, and had a very powerful aura.
It was a little far away and a little dark. She couldn't see the other person's facial features clearly, but she had an intuition that the man was handsome and his eyes were staring closely at her.
Forehead?
Maybe it was because the other person's eyes were too eager, and she felt that her face felt slightly warm.
"……who is that?"
Zheng Duoduo smiled and narrowed his eyes, urging: "If you go over and take a look, you will know?"
Zhu Achun pushed her gently and said warmly: "Go, go and have a look."
"oh."
Xue Xin stood up and walked forward with a little trepidation.
At this time, Xue's father shouted: "A Yuan, the cold water bottle here is empty."
Cheng Tianyuan "Hey!"
With a cry, he hurried away.
Xue Xin's eyes flashed slightly, her eyes widened, and she looked at the tall man in front of the family portrait with confusion. She felt that his strong aura was inexplicably familiar, but his facial features clearly told her that she had never seen this man before.
What's even more strange is that the man looked at me strangely.
Her face turned red unconsciously and she stopped walking.
This man...she probably doesn't know him.
Chen Xinzhi looked at the slim girl in front of him and didn't know how to react for a long time.
Seeing her stop, he slowly walked forward.
The cute little girl who loved to laugh has grown up. It was originally only as high as his knees, but now it is almost as high as his chin.
Looking at her big, bright and dazzling eyes, he smiled unconsciously.
"how?
Don’t recognize it?”
He gently pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a row of white teeth. The familiar look and eyes made Xue Xin freeze on the spot.
Suddenly, a familiar smile flashed through her mind, and then she blurted out: "Brother Tietou?"
The man was stunned for a moment, then smiled again.
"It seems that Xinxin still remembers me..." Xue Xin stared in surprise, looking at him in disbelief, and unconsciously rushed forward with her feet.
"Oh my god! Brother Tietou! It's really Brother Tietou! I remember - I remember! I remember you don't smile very much, but you look great when you smile - your teeth are white! Just like in my memory!"
She was so excited that she couldn't speak coherently. She leaned in front of him and looked at him happily.
Chen Xinzhi was surprised and flattered.
When he ran away from home, she was just a little girl of five or six years old.
She could still remember him, and she also remembered that he didn't like to smile much.
Maybe he was too excited, so he suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms! Xue Xin giggled happily.
When she smiled like this, Chen Xinzhi's arm around her froze, and his handsome face was vaguely stained with embarrassment.
Xiaoxin looked at him with a pretty face and a sweet smile.
"Brother Tietou! You are finally back! We missed you!"
Chen Xinzhi looked at Keren'er who was so close, and his heart softened unconsciously, and a tenderness filled his eyes.
"I'm back, and I will visit the imperial capital often in the future."
Before, he was so busy that he could only communicate with his mother and Duoduo by phone or video.
His mother reminded him to contact Cheng Tianyuan and his family and gave him the phone number.
But for some reason, he never dared to call that overseas number, even though he had already memorized the number in his mind.
Xue Xin's pretty face turned slightly red as she listened to his already changed male voice, and took a step back.
"...Brother Tietou, are you here to celebrate the New Year with Auntie and Brother Duoduo?
How long...will you stay in the imperial capital?"
Chen Xinzhi nodded slightly and replied: "About a week."
At this time, Zheng Duoduo waved and shouted: "Hey! Come here quickly! These nuts are so fragrant!"
“Come and try it!”
Xue Ling shouted with a smile.
Chen Xinzhi nodded in response and quickly turned to look at the little guy in front of him.
Xue Xin met his stern eyes, feeling her ears warm, and hesitated: "Um - you go drink tea and eat nuts first.
