After hearing Chen Xiao's words, Mrs. Xiao's eyes flashed with a strange look, and then he smiled softly and said seriously: "Don't talk nonsense, be respectful to your ancestors."
Then the old man sighed and said quietly: "Speaking of which, our Lingnan branch can prosper. If Xiao Mingyue hadn't been born in the past, I don't know where he is now."
Chen Xiao looked at the old man in surprise, but the old man had already picked up the cup of tea in front of him, took a sip, and then said with a faint smile: "Okay, I am tired from the journey, and I really don't have the energy for a young man like you. Young people have more energy, I'm going to rest, you can take your time here and watch."
After a pause, he warned: "You will live in this house first. It's best not to go to the front if you have nothing to do. Hehe! Those people in the family may have opened their pockets for you to get into before you come back. . You kid, you should stay in my back house for now. Don’t wander around if you have nothing to do. As long as you are in this back house, no one will disturb you. Well... someone will bring it to you when it’s time to eat. . Live in the left wing at night, and there will naturally be someone to take care of you in everything you do."
When the old man said this, he deliberately glanced at Zhang Xiaotao and said with a slightly weird smile: "My old man doesn't care much about young people's affairs, but since you are in my house, you must abide by some rules. The little girl will stay in the right wing at night, hehe... You young people must not go into the wrong room because of your blindness."
After hearing the teasing meaning in these words, Chen Xiao didn't say anything, but Zhang Xiaotao suddenly blushed with embarrassment. Although she has deep feelings for Chen Xiao and has already identified with Chen Xiao, she is still a Yunying girl after all. Although the two are close, they still maintain their affection and politeness - of course, If Chen Xiao made such a request, Zhang Xiaotao would naturally be absolutely willing to do so. It's just that when the two were in Japan before, Chen Xiao still had some concerns. But now, after Chen Xiao lost his memory, he was even more separated from Zhang Xiaotao, and he didn't have many intimate actions.
"The old man is disrespectful to his elders. This kind of thing can be said to us young people!" Zhang Xiaotao raised her eyebrows. She was a little pepper-like person. Old Mrs. Xiao laughed: "Junior? Since you consider yourself my junior, didn't you almost kick my old man that day?"
Zhang Xiaotao blushed with embarrassment, but quickly stood up, bowed to the old man, then brought a cup of tea to the old man honestly, and said cautiously: "I really didn't know your identity at the time. I was the one who offended, Old man, you are so generous, just drink this little girl’s cup of tea.”
Old Mrs. Xiao laughed, as if he was very proud, but in the end he took a sip from the tea cup, and then patted his thigh: "Let's go, you little men and women, I won't delay you from saying something considerate to yourself."
Watching the old man walk out of the back door of the hall, Zhang Xiaotao was dejected and sighed. He ran to Chen Xiao in a few steps, stretched out his hand and pinched him, saying angrily: "It's all you! I'm afraid the old man still hates me in his heart." !”
Chen Xiao smiled slightly and looked at Zhang Xiaotao. Although he lost a lot of memories, he could feel that being with this girl made him happy. And you can fully feel the girl's deep affection for you in the subtleties of every move she makes every day. This extremely integrated pleasure seemed to come from an instinct. Even though there was a blank in his memory, this feeling made Chen Xiao enjoy it very much.
After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly gently pulled Zhang Xiaotao into his arms and sat down. When Zhang Xiaotao was pulled by him, there was no way he could resist his sweetheart's affectionate move. He sat on Chen Xiao's lap and immediately hooked his arms around Chen Xiao's neck. His face was full of joy, and he looked at Chen Xiao in surprise.
Since reuniting with Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao has no memory of him. When the two are together, Zhang Xiaotao often takes the initiative to be intimate with Chen Xiao, but Chen Xiao is vaguely resistant, let alone taking the initiative to be intimate with him. move. At this moment, Zhang Xiaotao suddenly pulled herself into her arms. Zhang Xiaotao's heart was filled with joy. Her bright eyes were full of tenderness, almost dripping with water. Her little head rested docilely on Chen Xiao's shoulder, and two slender fingers were on Chen Xiao's shoulders. On the neck gently scratched.
Chen Xiao also felt an inexplicable tenderness in his heart. The girl in his arms was his girlfriend. Although he could not remember what happened between the two of them, this kind of intimacy seemed to be something that could transcend memory. .
Chen Xiao's hands had already been placed on the girl's soft and slender waist. Zhang Xiaotao suddenly trembled, opened his bright red mouth, and glanced at Chen Xiao with resentment. Chen Xiao smiled softly and whispered: "Thank you."
"Huh?" Zhang Xiaotao's eyes were a little confused.
"Thank you for accompanying me." Chen Xiao said softly: "You accompanied me all the way from Shanghai to here, and you even put down your work..."
Zhang Xiaotao shook her head, but she just hugged Chen Xiao's neck and looked tired at his shoulder.
At this moment, Chen Xiao only felt that her arms were filled with the warm fragrance of soft jade, and she felt indescribable peace and joy in her heart. It was as if all the pressure had disappeared, and she was extremely light. At that moment, she held Zhang Xiaotao in one hand and a family tree in the other, and carefully Turned over.
After all, Zhang Xiaotao is a girl, her physical strength is not as good as that of men, and she has long been tired from traveling all the way. Now she is leaning in Chen Xiao's arms, feeling happy and relaxed in her heart, and she falls asleep after a while.
Chen Xiao flipped through this genealogy, but he seemed to read it with gusto. He had to watch the sun set in the west before he finished reading the genealogy. Feeling a little sleepy, he dropped the book in his hand and glanced at the person in his arms. He saw Zhang Xiaotao sleeping soundly, with soft breathing, a slight blush on his face, and a rosy little mouth facing him. Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel a little itchy in her heart, and a surge of tenderness surged up in her heart. She couldn't help but lower her head and give a gentle kiss to the rosy little mouth.
Zhang Xiaotao hummed softly, as if talking in his sleep. The smile on Chen Xiao's face was very gentle, and he gently picked her up and walked out of the main room.
The wings on both sides of the house had been packed up. Chen Xiao carried Zhang Xiaotao into the wing on the right, put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and then got up and left. Just after Chen Xiao left, Zhang Xiaotao, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the door resentfully, and sighed softly in his heart: "Coward." But then he touched his mouth, and suddenly felt ashamed again. Unable to suppress it, his face flushed and he shrank his head into the quilt.
The two of them had clearly established a relationship before, and they kissed and hugged each other, but now after Chen Xiao lost his memory, all these actions were like a young man and woman falling in love for the first time, with a certain green sweetness.
Chen Xiao walked into the courtyard alone, looking around with his hands behind his hands.
The old man's inner house is closest to the hillside, but there is a bamboo forest planted on the side of the mountain. I guess this old man is also a very elegant person.
It is said that there is bamboo to live in, meat to eat and wine to drink.
It was just approaching evening, but the humidity on the mountain side was not small. Chen Xiao stood for a while, blowing the wind, and couldn't help but feel ethereal, as if he was standing in the valley, looking at the green mountain. , sucking out all the distracting thoughts in my heart.
He silently looked at the bamboo forest in front of him. A breeze blew through, and the bamboo forest swayed. Chen Xiao stared quietly. Suddenly, he felt something in his heart. He couldn't help but raise a finger and gently pointed at a green bamboo in front of him. One stroke…
Silently, a bamboo leaf blown down by the breeze was split into two by an invisible force, and landed gently at Chen Xiao's feet!
Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes, raised his fingers, and looked at his fingertips quietly, gradually feeling a different mood from the past few days. A smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of my mouth...
"I... seem to be 'back' again." Chen Xiao stood in the courtyard and murmured to himself.
…
Dinner was brought by the two young men who specially served Mr. Xiao in the inner house. They included a large bowl of roasted pork with bamboo shoots, a plate of green vegetables, a plate of cucumbers, and a plate of fish fillets. The meat and vegetables were well matched, and they looked fresh and delicious. There is a small pot of light rice wine with a big index finger. Chen Xiao drank all the wine and ate two bowls of rice with the vegetables. Apparently a great appetite.
In the evening, Chen Xiao came to the bamboo forest in the courtyard again, trying to capture the feeling of the evening again. But after standing for a while and feeling something in his heart, he suddenly heard the door of the courtyard behind him being pushed open forcefully. Someone's footsteps came in hastily.
"Hey! Is this the boy they said my grandpa brought back to you!?"
There was a voice behind him that was obviously that of a young girl.
Chen Xiao turned around with a smile and saw a chubby little girl standing in front of her. She seemed to be about the same age as herself. She was a little short and chubby, but her face was pretty, with just a few light freckles dotting her cheeks. But he didn't know why, his eyes were wide open and his cheeks were bulging, and he was glaring at himself angrily.
"Huh! It's you!" The fat little girl glared at Chen Xiao fiercely: "You are the toad who wants to marry Sister Xiao Qing! I tell you, don't even think about it! Sister Xiao Qing won't die I will marry you! Humph! She is not at home now! If she were here, she would have broken your legs long ago!"
As she said that, the little girl waved her fist fiercely: "Look what I do! What are you looking at! I'm going to beat you up!! I'm protecting you, others don't dare to hit me! I dare! Look again! Look at me again You’ll have to look for teeth all over the place!”
After saying that, he suddenly ran over and picked up a broom from the ground in the yard. It was probably dropped by a servant. He held it with both hands and pointed it at Chen Xiao: "I'm warning you! Now that I'm not here, you should get out of here! Otherwise..."
