The door opened from the outside.
Father Xiao walked in.
Father Xiao was a little surprised to see that there were other people at home.
But then he smiled and said to Xu Xiuwen: "Xiao Xu is here too."
Xu Xiuwen immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and said, "Uncle Xiao, my mother is not at home, so I shamelessly came over to have a free meal, hehe."
Father Xiao said, "Why are you so polite? Come anytime you want. Who is this girl?"
Xu Xiuwen immediately said, "This is my cousin. She is staying at my house for a few days."
Ning Jiali immediately stood up and said, "Hello, uncle."
Father Xiao took a closer look and praised, "He's really handsome."
"Thank you, uncle."
Seeing that her father was talking to other people and ignored her, Xiao Youran said coquettishly, "Dad, I'm home and you didn't even look at me. I'm not happy."
Father Xiao immediately laughed out loud, "You are still jealous of Xiao Xu."
Xiao Youran defended herself in a low voice, "I'm not jealous."
However, his insincerity naturally could not escape the eyes of others.
Everyone, including Zhang Ruoshu, laughed.
Xiao Youran felt a little embarrassed and snorted, "Hate it, you all bully me."
As Father Xiao spoke, he walked over, sat down and prepared to eat.
Zhang Ruoshu remained silent.
She suddenly said, "Wash your hands before eating!"
The tone was slightly cold.
Father Xiao was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and stood up to wash his hands.
And Zhang Ruoshu had no intention of serving food to Xiao's father.
It was Xiao Youran who took the initiative to serve the rice upon seeing this.
Then the five of them had lunch together.
Father Xiao asked them a lot about their college life.
Xiao Youran also shared happily.
certainly.
About Cheng Lu and Song Siyu.
She didn't say a word.
Xu Xiuwen noticed one thing.
Zhang Ruoshu was in a bad mood and spoke very little.
When only the three of them were talking.
Only then would Zhang Ruoshu look over here.
And when Father Xiao spoke.
Zhang Ruoshu lowered her head and ate.
Xu Xiuwen vaguely guessed the reason why Zhang Ruoshu was in a bad mood.
Xiao Youran didn't notice that her mother was in a bad mood.
Even Ning Jiali felt it.
On the way back, he also asked him whether Xiao Youran's parents had quarreled.
For some things, it is better to have one less person knowing than one more.
Xu Xiuwen did not tell his cousin about his guess, but instead scolded her, "Why are you so gossipy, little girl?"
Ning Jiali was scolded by her cousin, but she was not angry, she just stopped asking questions.
afternoon.
Xu Xiuwen took Ning Jiali to the street to buy clothes.
Ning Jiali initially refused, saying that there was still a lot of money left from the money she was given for the start of school.
However, under Xu Xiuwen's insistence, he finally accepted it reluctantly.
However, the girl also bought a few clothes for Xu Xiuwen.
Finished shopping.
Xu Xiuwen went to the vegetable market again.
After returning home.
Xu Xiuwen glanced at the time and saw that it would not be long before his mother got off work.
He began to prepare dinner.
Ning Jiali smiled and said, "Cousin, I'll help you."
Xu Xiuwen also smiled, "No need, you should go to the sofa and watch TV."
Ning Jiali wrinkled her nose and said, "Humph, cousin, you look down on me."
But she also knew that she really couldn't help.
I decided not to cause him any more trouble and turned around to watch TV.
Xu Xiuwen was busy in the kitchen.
Ning Jiali was watching TV.
The doorbell suddenly rang.
Ning Jiali thought it was her third aunt who had returned, and immediately came over excitedly to open the door.
After the door opened.
The person outside the door was not Ning Wanqiu.
But it was Xiao Youran.
After Xiao Youran noticed Ning Jiali's expression, he couldn't help but ask, "Lili, are you unhappy to see me? I didn't make you angry, did I?"
Ning Jiali waved her hands repeatedly and explained, "No, Sister Youran, I just thought it was Third Aunt who came back."
Xiao Youran breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Aunt Ning must have the key, why would she ring the doorbell. Lili, you are so cute."
Ning Jiali finally reacted at this time and stuck out her tongue.
After Xiao Youran entered the room, he asked while changing his shoes, "Where's Xiao Xu?"
Ning Jiali said: "My cousin is cooking."
Xiao Youran also saw Xu Xiuwen in the kitchen at this moment.
She continued to ask: "I came to see you this afternoon, but you were not at home. Where did you go?"
Ning Jiali explained: "My cousin took me to the street to buy some clothes."
“I see.”
While Xu Xiuwen was cooking, he asked, "Who's here?"
Without waiting for Ning Jiali to answer.
Xiao Youran took the initiative to say: "Xiao Xu, it's me."
"Youran is here. I'm cooking now. You can chat with Lili first."
"good."
The two women came and sat down on the sofa and chatted for a few words.
The doorbell rang again.
Ning Jiali immediately got up and opened the door.
This time it’s not Ning Wanqiu.
The girl standing outside the door turned into Jiang Ruoyu.
Jiang Ruoyu greeted with a smile, "Lili, I'm glad you're home. I was worried that you hadn't come back."
Ning Jiali asked: "You came to see us this afternoon as well?"
Jiang Ruoyu was just about to say yes.
Suddenly realized.
"Also?" she asked doubtfully.
Ning Jiali smiled and said, "Sister Youran also came here once."
