Cao Yang has always been a man with patience, perseverance and excellent psychological quality.
So he endured Xia Rou's bold bullying, fooling around and sneaking all the way to Xijiang. During this period, Xia Rou avoided them many times and went to the corridor to make phone calls, even texting with others with a smile on the corner of her mouth before boarding the plane, turning off her mobile phone at the last moment, and so on. He did not move. See it in your eyes and remember it in your heart.
Even as soon as the plane landed, Xia Rou couldn't wait to turn on her mobile phone to send text messages without thinking about getting up to get her luggage. Cao Yang gritted his teeth... and endured it.
He opened the luggage compartment above his head, took out her coat first, and yelled at her: "Put it on."
Western Xinjiang is much colder than the east. Although they took the business aisle to get off the plane, the temperature in the tens of meters long corridor bridge from the plane door to the building body was enough for Xia Rou to bear.
"Hey, hey, right away!" Xia Rou typed on the phone without looking up, and didn't pick up the phone until the sending was over, and got up to take her coat.
Cao Yang: "..." Humph!
Several cars came to pick them up. Cao Yang pushed Xia Rou to Cao An's care, and took a car with Cao Xiong.
Xia Rou didn't see him again until dinner time.
"Finished with the entertainment?" she asked, "Where's Uncle?"
"I can't get out of my body." Cao Yang said.
Xia Rou didn't care, Cao Xiong was like this wherever he went. It will be soon enough for her to see him tomorrow.
She then continued to lower her head... to look at her phone.
Cao Yang's face turned black!
"Xia Rou!" He knocked on the table with his knuckles, and scolded, "When did you develop this bad habit! Is it appropriate for you to be a bow-headed family when eating as a family?"
It is really inappropriate, and it also violates the family tradition and table manners of the Cao family. What's more, it's still a big Chinese New Year.
Xia Rou stuck out her tongue, and hurriedly said to Wei Qi one last time: [I was scolded! I'm going to collect my phone!]
Wei Qi replied with a crying face.
Xia Rou put away her phone, but she couldn't hide her sweet smile from her raised mouth.
Cao An glanced at Cao Yang's dark face, feeling that he couldn't watch Xia Rou continue to die, and gave her another chance very loyally: "Who are you chatting with, so happy?" Girl, brother can only help you Here it is, be conscious and recruit quickly!
Pian Xiarou didn't notice it, and casually said perfunctorily: "Student."
Cao Yang: "..."
Cao An: "..."
Both Cao Bin and Cao Xing couldn't bear to look directly and turned their heads away. Just staring at the phone screen, smiling for a while, smiling for a while, with a sweet face...
Who are you kidding
After dinner, I went to the hot springs, surrounded by ice and snow, the snow beside the pool was as thick as a palm, but the pool was steaming.
The boss here prepared a separate pool for the Cao family. There is a passage connecting the building. Half of the pool is stacked with stones to resemble a cave, and the other half is completely open-air. Looking up, you can directly see the dark blue starry sky.
Cao Bin and Cao An came from the passage wrapped in bathrobes, and Cao Yang and Cao Xing, both able to swim in winter, came directly wrapped in bath towels.
After entering the pond, Cao Yang asked, "Where is Xiao Rou?"
"Girls, change clothes slowly." Cao An guessed.
Just as he was talking, a person who looked like a cotton ball came out of the passage.
Xia Rou wrapped herself in two bathrobes, walked to the edge of the pool, quickly took off her bathrobe, and slipped into the pool with a "plop". The movement was too loud, and hot water splashed Cao Yang's face.
"Ah~ It's warm!" Xia Rou comfortably retreated into the hot water.
Cao Yang: "..." wiped his face.
This kind of vacation is more relaxing than ever.
The men are also out of business, and Xia Rou has no endless vacation homework. Soaking in hot springs under the ice and snow night sky couldn't be more comfortable.
Cao Xing disappeared without knowing when. Cao An informed him that he just fell in love with a waitress and went to hook him up.
The remaining three brothers shook the dice and competed for wine.
Cao An wanted to ask Xia Rou to come with him, but Cao Yang stopped him.
"I'm used to her drinking! What's wrong!" Cao Yang scolded.
Cao An was discouraged, and said a few words: "Isn't it Chinese New Year, let's have some low-grade ones..." Cao Yang stared at him, dared not let go, and went to Cao Bin to fight for a drink.
It doesn't matter to Xia Rou, she is actually not good at drinking, she only drank it twice in the past three or four years.
Once he was in a bad mood and was so drunk that he passed out. Once he was in a good mood, high, and grabbed Cao Yang and poured a little wine to go crazy. Since then, I have become afraid in my heart, and I dare not drink casually. Afraid that the capacity for alcohol is too low, I will get drunk as soon as I drink.
When you get drunk, you go crazy.
As a person who has secrets, she dares not have a second time when she tells the truth when drunk.
Cao Yang glanced at her. I don't want her to drink because I don't want to see her cry. I don't even want her crying to be seen by others. It was enough for him to know her unhappy and depressed appearance.
He handed over the health-enhancing hot drink that he had ordered for her a long time ago: "Drink this."
Xia Rou is busy, her phone is covered with a waterproof membrane, and she is busy chatting with Wei Qi!
She stared at the phone, took the cup with one hand, took two sips, put it on the stone by the pool, and continued to send text messages with full attention.
Not even a "thank you"!
Cao Yang: "..."
Cao Yang felt that his patience had almost bottomed out!
After traveling for a long time, he returned to his position just now, soaked in the slightly scalding water, staring at this damn girl...
After Cao Bin and Cao An drank a few cups, the mobile phone by the pool rang. He climbed out of the pool, put on his bathrobe and went to the warmth of the tunnel to answer the phone.
After talking on the phone, he returned to the pool and put the phone on the small table. Just about to take off his bathrobe, he looked up and saw Cao An in the pool leaning against the open air, drinking by himself. Cao Yang was looking at something intently...
He followed Cao Yang's gaze, but saw Xia Rou laying on the warm boulder by the pool, concentrating on fiddling with her phone.
She was wearing a two-piece swimsuit, most of her body was stretched out of the water, and her waist was slender and white. Swaying gently with the background music by the pool...
Cao Bin was slightly taken aback.
Going to look at Cao Yang again, he met Cao Yang's piercing eyes.
The two brothers looked at each other for two seconds, before Cao Bin looked away.
Go hunting the next day.
A world of ice and snow, a piece of snow white. The open-top off-road vehicle pulled up two long snow dragons and chased the flock of wild sheep running ahead.
Xia Rou is wearing goggles, from head to toe, professional outdoor thermal clothing, and the heat preservation measures are in place. She was in the same car as Cao Yang and Cao Bin, huddled in the back seat and watched.
She has always lacked interest in this sport, and she can't stand the Cao family man's liking.
And there are obviously several hunting grounds in the country, but they like the hunting grounds in Xijiang the most, and they like to come here in winter.
It is said to be wild animals, but in fact they are all artificially bred and raised in hunting grounds. But Cao Yang and the others think that animals in cold places, even in captivity, are more wild than animals in other places, and they are more exciting to hunt. So they like to run to the western border most.
It's not the first time Xia Rou has come here, anyway, she is just a follower, as long as she is responsible for keeping herself warm.
Cao Yang and the others obviously enjoyed it.
On their side, Cao Bin was driving, and Cao Yang stepped on the seat and pressed his arms against the windshield. After a "bang" gunshot, a bunch of blood burst out from the running sheep in the distance.
Cao Xing in the car over there was not to be outdone. After a gunshot, another sheep fell down in the flock.
In the white snow is a large expanse of bright red.
After having fun, the prey was loaded in the trunk, and they walked back.
On the way, Cao Yang suddenly asked Cao Bin to stop.
There are several pheasants in the distance, standing on the snowdrift, the colors are bright.
"Xiao Rou, come here!" Cao Yang called Xia Rou to get out of the car and handed her the gun. "Remember how to shoot?"
"Remember." Xia Rou nodded.
As a child of the Cao family, Xia Rou is no stranger to guns. They often go to the shooting ranges around the provincial capital on weekends.
"It's tight, this gun has a lot of recoil." Cao Yang wrapped Xia Rou in his arms and helped her support the heavy gun body.
Xia Rou doesn't like hunting big animals, wild sheep or something. She always felt unbearable. For pheasants, the acceptance level is much higher. So every time Cao Yang would find this not-so-cute little animal to hunt for her.
Cao Bin took advantage of this opportunity to light a cigarette.
Looking sideways at his elder brother who was almost holding Xia Rou in his arms, his brows were slightly frowned...
At night, there is a barbecue, and there is also a big pot of stew, and what they eat is the prey during the day.
Cao Xiong also finally appeared.
"The hunting grounds in the north are more interesting. Even the animals in the hunting grounds in the south are soft." He said.
All the men in the family nodded approvingly.
Xia Rou was speechless.
When the phone rang, she looked down, and when she put it down again, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Cao Bin glanced at her, then suddenly smiled and said, "Seeing that you are so happy, who is it?"
Xia Rou prevaricates: "Student..."
"Oh, classmate..." Cao Bin took a breath and smiled.
Suddenly, he grabbed Xia Rou's phone. Xia Rou rushed to grab it, but she couldn't grab it better than Cao Bin.
Cao Bin didn't really read her chat content either. He glanced at the other person's name and turned the phone over: "Wei Qi? Who is it? Be honest!"
"Student..." Xia Rou blushed.
"Student..." Cao Bin smiled lovingly, "Then I'll call and ask, what's the matter with this classmate Wei, who harassed our family Xiarou all day long, and it's been an uneasy life for years."
The gesture is about to dial it.
"Don't! Don't!" Xia Rou tried to stop him.
Cao Bin looked at her with a smile. Everyone else is also waiting for the next article.
Xia Rou saw that she couldn't hide it anymore, under the gaze of several people, her cheeks were slightly warm, and she admitted: "My boyfriend..."
Cao Bin laughed, and then returned the phone to her.
"How old are you? What grade are you in? What do you do at home?" Cao Xing asked repeatedly.
Cao Xiong also looked at Xia Rou, waiting for an answer.
Xia Rou had no choice but to confess honestly: "I have been working for a year, and I am my senior sister's senior... "
"What about home?" Cao Xing asked.
"Well... His father is a professor, and his mother is a middle school teacher." Xia Rou answered honestly.
That's outsiders. Several men thought about it.
I heard Xia Rou say again: "Brother has seen it before."
Everyone turned to look at Cao Yang.
Cao Yang raised his eyebrows.
"It was the drama we acted in on New Year's Day, the one who played the male lead. The one that slapped me, you said it was fake..." Xia Rou reminded him.
Cao Yang was stunned.
Unexpectedly, I remembered a bunch of young boys and girls chirping about how well the male lead and the female lead match...
He just laughed.
"The young man is very handsome." He said, "It looks like a good match for Xiao Rou."
Cao Xing and Cao An were a little surprised that the eldest brother would let this little thing who dared to hide his love affair so lightly go. It's better to be a girl, if you want to let them go, if you dare to disobey the eldest brother, the belt has already been pulled on your body.
When he said that, Cao An made a fuss and asked Xia Rou if she had any photos. Xia Rou couldn't carry him, so she had to show him the selfie with Wei Qi. Cao An whistled, "You don't look bad."
Everyone passed it on, and it was passed to Cao Yang. Cao Yang stared at the smiling faces of the young boys and girls in the photo for a moment, and then passed it on to Cao Bin.
After dinner, Cao Bin smoked a cigarette and chatted with Cao Yang.
"No background at all, is it appropriate?" he asked.
He didn't expect Xia Rou to find someone outside the circle. They all thought that Xia Rou would find a suitable person in the circle to fall in love with or something.
"It's just a relationship, it's not a marriage." Cao Yang said indifferently, "She is only so old, so she should have a few conversations in college."
In this age group, it is normal to fall in love once or twice, and not too many times three or four. You have to go through these things in life before you can slowly mature. Who didn't come here like this.
The boss said so, so Cao Bin didn't worry about it. No matter how worried he was, he couldn't beat Cao Yang.
From Xiarou to Cao's house, Cao Yang was worried about every food and clothing. The parent meeting was held by Cao Yang.
As long as Cao Yang is watching, other people don't need to worry about Xia Rou's affairs.
He took a drag on his cigarette, glanced at his elder brother, turned around to find Cao An and the others went to play mahjong with Cao Xiong without saying anything.
Cao Yang sat on the sofa with one ankle resting on the other knee, exhaled a long puff of white smoke, and looked at Xia Rou on the card table from afar.
She has reached her prime and is blooming beautifully.
There will be a young and handsome boy who will hold her hand and kiss her lips.
