Looking at the layout, it is similar to the Su family's yard, except that it is smaller in size.
As soon as Hu Xiaoxiao entered the courtyard, she shouted to the main room, "Mom, I'm here with Ruanruan and Xiao Chengjin!"
Almost as soon as Hu Xiaoxiao's joke ended, the door of the main room was opened from the inside, and Wei Hong walked out with a smile, "Ruanruan is here! Xiaoxiao said early in the morning that you will definitely go to see her today. Urgent I hurriedly went to wait for you! I really waited for you! Come on, come in, it’s cold outside!”
Although the sun was shining outside, the air was still cold, and a gust of wind made people shrink from the cold.
After being pulled into the main room by Hu Xiaoxiao, Su Ruanruan found that the main room was still in a mess and many things were not placed properly.
Hu Xiaoxiao turned a blind eye to this and pulled Su Ruanruan into the east room.
In the east room, there is a large table next to the window. There are stools next to the table and two chairs on both sides of the table.
The windows were lined with glass, and the sunlight shone in through the glass, spreading all over the table and floor.
Hu Xiaoxiao asked Su Ruanruan and Xiao Chengjin to sit down, but he didn't do it. He turned around and went out again, "Wait for me for a while!"
After a while, Su Ruanruan saw Hu Xiaoxiao through the window.
Hu Xiaoxiao went to the smaller room on the east side and came out with a teapot in one hand and a stack of small teacups in the other.
Apparently, that room should be the kitchen.
After Hu Xiaoxiao came in, he placed the quilt on the table and poured tea into it with a teapot.
The teapot and teacup are both dark brown, and Su Ruanruan can't tell what they are made of.
As soon as the tea was poured out, Su Ruoran smelled the aroma of tea.
She doesn't drink tea, but Su Aimin likes to drink it, so she is no stranger to the aroma of tea.
"Drink some tea to warm yourself up! My eldest brother brought this back. It tastes a bit bitter to me. I don't know if you like it or not."
Su Ruanruan took a sip and wrinkled her nose, "Actually, I feel a little bitter."
"Then next time you come, let's drink brown sugar water!"
Hu Xiaoxiao said and started laughing.
Su Ruanruan put down the tea cup and held Hu Xiaoxiao's hand, "Xiaoxiao—"
Su Ruanruan hesitated, she didn't know how to ask.
Before Su Ruanruan could figure out how to ask, Hu Xiaoxiao spoke on her own.
"My mother and I, as well as my brothers and sisters, all live here. This yard is rented by my brother. When we have money, we will buy this yard. My dad went back to live with the Hu family."
"Then your parents."
"My mother wants to divorce my father. My father doesn't want to, but my mother said that sooner or later we will divorce."
From the beginning to the end, when Hu Xiaoxiao said this, his expression was extremely calm.
After she finished speaking, she even smiled at Su Ruanruan, "Ruanruan, I know you are worried about me, I am fine, really! I hope they two get divorced as soon as possible!"
"You don't know, since I was a child, I have watched my father listen to my mother's advice and give him whatever he wants. When we still lived in the Hu family, my mother had to do laundry, cooking and cleaning the yard when she came back from work. My grandma is healthy but does nothing. Every month my parents pay their salary, they have to hand it over to me, and she has the final say on what to eat and wear."
"My mother is partial to my aunt and my aunt's family. She uses my parents' salary to support their family."
"I was admitted to high school this year, but my grandma didn't want me to go, so my mother made a big fuss."
