When he walked to the door, Mr. Kesma looked at Alyssa with some worry. He thought this girl was pretty good.
Of course, this was definitely not an idea born out of feeling a little bit guilty because he kicked Alyssa unconscious and took away her child. This girl who was willing to be mediocre without fighting or snatching was much better than other girls. Even Kinsel is not as good as her.
In the eyes of Mr. Kesma, Alyssa has a very high score. Mr. Kesma is a person who is willing to be mediocre. Judging from the fact that he has been living in seclusion in Alfalfa Town until now, this is not that he is pretending. What role do you play, but really enjoy this kind of life.
Everyone's attitude towards life and pursuit of self-worth are different. Some people like to live in the spotlight, and every comment made on them by others can make them excited for many days.
But there are also some people, like Mr. Kesma, who are willing to be a farmer, run an ordinary family, and then watch the children disobey one by one and do things that make him angry.
Based on the pursuit of an ordinary life, he felt that a girl like Alyssa was the girl Du Lin should really marry. She would not show up in public and would only take care of the children at home. There was no more reassuring girl than this.
He gave Alyssa an encouraging look, and then took the hands of his two grandsons and walked into the room. In any case, he didn't want the fighting outside to affect his two grandsons.
Alyssa couldn't understand what Mr. Kesma's encouraging eyes meant. What should she do
If it were in the past, she might have considered it this way, because Du Lin was not married yet after all. Although the possibility was slim, there was still a slight chance.
Now, he doesn't think about it at all. He is already married, and it is useless to have any thoughts. Moreover, Alyssa still has some fears in her inner world.
The girl who married Dulin was a noble daughter of the Timamont family. With such a girl and such a family background, she was a little afraid that she and her two children would become "people blocking the road" in some novels and movies, and she was eventually hidden. Her true identity, Ophelia, and the family behind her were not tolerated, disappearing into the vast sea of people, as if they had never existed.
She didn't tell anyone else about her anxiety and uneasiness. If she did... In fact, there was absolutely no chance that anything would happen. She was just scaring herself. She didn't mention it for the time being, but the two children's surname was Kesma.
One person stood on the steps and the other stood at the bottom of the steps. The two women looked at each other. Just when Alyssa was considering whether to leave here first to ease the increasingly tense atmosphere, Ophelia walked up the steps and stood on the steps. Her side stretched out his hand to her, "Nice to meet you..."
Alyssa looked at Ophelia's outstretched hand and was silent for about four or five seconds. Then she smiled, stretched out her hand and shook Ophelia's hand, "Me too."
As soon as the two people's hands touched, Du Lin nodded, his left hand gently pressed on Ophelia's waist, and his right hand gently placed on Alyssa's waist, looking inwardly without asking. Go.
After being pushed by him, the two girls, who might have wanted to say something else, gave up for the time being and accompanied him into the house.
Mr. Kesma's house has been repaired, and pest control is necessary every year. Now that the children have left the house, except for Mr. Kesma and Mr. Kesma, it is actually empty, giving people a sense of A particularly deserted feeling.
Think about it, there used to be a total of eight children in the family, not even enough for each of them to have a bedroom. Merlin and Kinsel were still squeezed into the same room at that time, just because they were twins.
Looking at now, the children running around the house seemed like yesterday in a daze, but when I came back to my senses, many years had passed. More than eight years had changed from everyone's life in the blink of an eye. Slip away.
The next time you don't pay attention, it may be a few years or more later.
With so many people back at home all of a sudden, the deserted house became lively again. Mrs. Kesma happily brought snacks and water to everyone, and asked Kinsel to help make lunch together.
The atmosphere in the room was a little stiff. Mason glanced at Emil, who stood up with understanding and asked to visit the room where Mason slept when he was a child. As soon as these people left, the atmosphere in the living room began to change again.
Alyssa took the initiative to pour some water for Ophelia. The cup was the only tea set in the house used to receive guests. The surface of the cup was somewhat damaged, revealing the underlying color inside.
In some places that are difficult to reach with brushes, there are still traces of traces that have not been cleaned.
The pure silver kettle has lost its snow-white silver color, and the gaps between the carved patterns have turned black. I don’t know if it’s because of dirt or other reasons.
The entire kettle was yellow and black, plus the smell of inferior scented tea inside. Ophelia looked at the tea that was gradually filling into the cup, and suddenly felt a little dizzy and her eyes were a little dark.
Growing up in a noble family, when had she ever used such...old and dirty utensils as a living utensil
Each piece of daily utensils has a dedicated person to maintain it. Once there is a small flaw in any one of them, it may just be due to irregular use that exposes a pinhole-sized primer, or there are scratch marks. This whole set Utensils will be put away or thrown away.
"Life is art, and how to live is to taste art!" This is the answer given by an artist of noble origin when answering a reporter's question.
He may not be able to represent all nobles, but his words and his attitude towards life are the attitudes of most nobles.
To be honest, these things made Ophelia very uncomfortable. The hands she pinched began to gradually become stronger, and her smile became a little stiff.
Alyssa seemed not to notice. After pouring water for Ophelia, she poured a cup for Dulin and herself. Then she picked up her own cup and took a sip, "Newly dried wild maple." Flowers, they taste great!”
Wild maple is a kind of wild flower that is relatively common around Alfalfa Town. It is in bloom all year round, and it is always stubborn and strong.
Most of the time, this wild flower is purple or cyan. The flowers are only the size of a thumbnail, but there is a lot of nectar in the stamens, and the pollen also has a special fragrance.
For a long time, wild maple flowers have been the main source of sweetness for most people in the town, especially children. When Du Lin was a child, he often went out with the big guys to pick wild maple flowers and suck the nectar inside.
Later, life got a little better, the method of making maltose also appeared in the village, and there were fewer people picking wild maple flowers.
Later, most of the wild maple flowers only had two uses. One was to pick them, wash them and dry them, and then use them as the main raw material of scented tea.
Another use is to pick, wash and marinate them together with maltose and honey in a sealed bottle. After at least forty-five days of blooming, the fragrance of wild maple flowers can completely penetrate into the maltose and honey. When needed, Take a spoonful or brush a layer on it during dessert. It is not only sweet and delicious, but also has a special fragrance.
This is a specialty of Alfalfa Town and a favorite among children.
When people are young, they are often attracted by all kinds of stimulating, fresh and sweet flavors. That is because they are still young and desire more vivid and exciting flavors to shock their senses.
But after a person reaches middle age, it is absolutely impossible to fall in love with sweets. Instead, it is the slightly bitter fragrance that attracts the most attention, because this is life.
Du Lin also picked up the cup and took a sip. He blinked and let out a long sigh. It still tasted the same as before.
Alyssa lowered her head and looked at the tea cup in her hand and smiled without saying a word, instead of taking a sip, as if it were some great treasure.
Ophelia looked at the cup on the table. She didn't want to give up at the first sight. She stretched out her hand and took the cup in her hand. The inexplicable greasy feeling between her skin and the cup made her face paler. .
Obviously all her troubles could be solved by just lowering her head and taking a sip, but this made her feel overwhelmed.
Dulin also noticed Ophelia's discomfort at this time. He could understand that he was not a typical male chauvinist. Some people using male chauvinism to attack him was simply the greatest slander against him.
"Not everyone can adapt to the taste of wild maple flowers..."
It's okay that Du Lin didn't speak. He said these words to help Ophelia out of trouble, but the little girl gritted her teeth and took a small sip, and the sound was louder when drinking.
She didn't completely put her lips on the rim of the cup, but left a little distance to suck up the water from the rim of the cup, so that she didn't need to touch the cup, although it was very unsightly and immoral to do so.
But she couldn't help it, that cup looked too dirty to her!
After drinking some water, her expression became lively, she raised her eyebrows and put the cup back on the table, "The taste... I don't know how to describe it, it's very unique!"
This was completely unnecessary, but for some reason Ophelia, who had always been docile, suddenly started to show her teeth. Fortunately, she was a girl, and no matter how bad she was in declaring her sovereignty, it would not be too scary.
If it were a boy, he would probably have to pee in the enclosure.
But..., this is not an option. He looked at Ophelia, then at Alyssa, and suddenly said, "How about you two just have a fight..."
With a thud, there was a slight banging sound in the corridor outside the door. Dulin knew without guessing that it was Mr. Kesma who was eavesdropping. He didn't care that the old guy outside was still so naughty at his age. He looked at it very sincerely. Two girls, "I think fighting can quickly solve the trouble you are currently encountering. Put on protective gear and then have a fight. No one will be hurt!"
Ophelia and Alyssa both looked at Dulin stupidly, completely unable to believe that Dulin's idea was so weird. Is this still Dulin
It must be, at least Mr. Kesma thinks this kid is so fucked up and doesn’t know who he looks like.
Go to bed. I will have an examination and biopsy tomorrow morning. Go to bed early today.
