He came out from the inner room.
It was completely dark outside.
The whole family sat neatly around the dining table, ready to have dinner.
In the past.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, except for my uncle's family, all the aunts will follow their uncles to the man's family to celebrate the New Year.
But this year everyone stayed here to celebrate the New Year.
The reason, of course, is because Xu Xiuwen and Ning Wanqiu are here.
What’s different from previous New Year’s Eve dinners is that there’s one more person, Du Qingling, present today.
Du Qingling was sitting quietly beside Ning Wanqiu at this moment, looking well-behaved.
During dinner.
Ning Wanqiu kept picking up food for Du Qingling.
Several aunts and grandmother would pick up food for Du Qingling from time to time.
Ning Wanqiu also asked Du Qingling with concern whether the food was to her liking.
Du Qingling seemed to have never experienced such a situation.
There was some confusion and nervousness at first.
After you get used to it, gradually relax.
There was also a serene smile on his face.
After dinner.
Xu Xiuwen noticed one thing.
Li Lei followed Du Qingling all the time and kept talking to her.
Du Qingling didn't like to pay much attention to him.
Ning Jiali stayed with Xu Xiuwen the whole time.
After seeing Li Lei's behavior.
Ning Jiali couldn't help but say, "Cousin Li Lei is really enthusiastic about her. He has never been so enthusiastic about me."
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Xu Xiuwen and asked, "Cousin, do you like her more too?"
Listening to Ning Jiali's sour words.
Xu Xiuwen smiled.
He didn't say anything, but just touched the girl's head with his hand, ruffling her hair, causing the girl to complain.
It’s hard to say whether Xu Xiuwen likes Du Qingling or not.
But Ning Wanqiu must like Du Qingling very much.
I always take her with me to sleep at night.
The next morning.
After getting up, Xu Xiuwen went to the backyard to wash up.
Du Qingling just got up and went to the yard to wash up.
The two stood in one place.
Xu Xiuwen asked with a smile: "Did you sleep well last night?"
Du Qingling nodded slightly.
"You'll get used to it. I wasn't lying to you. My mom treats other people better than me."
Du Qingling smiled when she heard that.
A cool temperament coupled with a calm and peaceful smile.
There was a moment of amazement.
After brushing her teeth, Du Qingling walked back to the back room.
Xu Xiuwen continued to squat in the yard and brush his teeth.
At this moment, a pair of slender legs came towards him.
Xu Xiuwen turned his head and took a look.
It was his mother, Ning Wanqiu.
Ning Wanqiu approached, glanced behind her, and asked in a low voice: "What happened to Qingling's injury?"
Xu Xiuwen was stunned.
Coming back to his senses, he asked, "Did you see it?"
Ning Wanqiu nodded.
Xu Xiuwen sighed, and then told Ning Wanqiu what happened to Du Qingling.
However, he concealed the fact that he spent 500,000 to buy Du Qingling from Du He.
Xu Xiuwen warned worriedly, "Mom, please don't tell anyone else."
Ning Wanqiu originally thought that Du Qingling had caused trouble and was being scolded by her parents.
After listening to Xu Xiuwen's words.
She was a little dumbfounded.
But he was a teacher after all, so he calmed down immediately.
Thinking of what happened to Du Qingling.
Ning Wanqiu felt very sorry for her.
Ning Wanqiu usually cannot show maternal love to Xu Xiuwen.
Because Xu Xiuwen is too mature and sensible.
Sometimes, Du Qingling even suspected that he was not her son, but someone of the same age.
But now we know what happened to Du Qingling, and the fact that she has no mother.
Ning Wanqiu's maternal love suddenly burst out.
Until before breakfast, Ning Wanqiu was always concerned about Du Qingling, showing a tenderness that Xu Xiuwen had never experienced before.
Xu Xiuwen was watching from the side and felt a little envious.
Ning Jiali felt jealous when she saw how much her third aunt cared about Du Qingling.
Breakfast was noodles cooked by grandma, each person had an egg, and it was served with some pickled side dishes made by grandma.
The breakfast my grandma makes is not as exquisite as those in restaurants and hotels, and the taste may not be as good either.
But Xu Xiuwen ate it with great relish.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon.
After lunch.
Xu Xiuwen suddenly received a call from Xiao Youran.
The girl asked him on the phone when he would be home.
During winter vacation.
Xu Xiuwen spent a very short time with Xiao Youran.
He also felt that he owed Xiao Youran.
Xu Xiuwen said: "Youran, I'm still at my grandmother's house. I may not be able to go back until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Xiao Youran was very disappointed after hearing this.
She stopped talking, and even her breathing temporarily stopped.
This made Xu Xiuwen feel a little distressed.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't have anything to do today anyway, why don't I drive to find you secretly."
After hearing this, Xiao Youran couldn't help but ask, "Really? Xiao Xu!"
Xu Xiuwen said: "If you want to see me, I will go. If you don't want to see me, then I will stay at my grandmother's house."
Xiao Youran shouted excitedly, "I want to! I really want to!"
Because her voice is too loud.
Zhang Ruoshu asked, "What did you say?"
Xiao Youran immediately said: "Nothing."
Then he chuckled into the phone.
Xu Xiuwen was also amused by Xiao Youran's cute laughter.
