Wuyi, unaware of his parents' origins, was relatively kind to Shitou due to various concerns. However, compared to Ping'an, who was six years older than him, he didn't have so many concerns.

He had his childhood memories, and he remembered one thing deeply: when he was a child, every time his cousins ​​came to visit, they would take advantage of his family.

How much brotherhood can you allow a paranoid person to retain?

Even on June 1st, because several elders in the family were worried about his different status, they always taught him the dark side of reality. How much affection did he still have for his relatives?

So the nine sons of the dragon are all different, but genetically speaking, they are essentially the same.

The group arrived at the old house while talking, and the rain had stopped and the sky was clear.

Compared to the joy of Zhang's father and mother seeing the next generation around them, the three brothers smiled at their unexpected cousins.

After Ping'an instructed Aunt Yuan and the others to prepare noodles for dinner, he said goodbye to Father and Mother Zhang and left. It was time for him to go and pick up his mother. Although the rain had stopped and the sky was clear, he didn't know if there would be another rainstorm.

As for Liuyi, after Yi Tangtang, who stayed at the old house to accompany Xiaojiu, had greeted Zhang's father and mother, he waved at her and asked, "Where's Xiaojiu?"

"She insists on staying in the kitchen to help." Yi Tangtang frowned helplessly, "But I don't know how to cook or do housework. What should I do?"

"You should learn from my mother in the future. She is a good cook." Liuyi smiled and stroked her hair. He would never say that there is no need to learn cooking because he has an aunt at home.

Since he had chosen this girl as his wife, he would not allow his spouse to be a rich lady. If such an outstanding person as his mother could do it, why couldn't others do it?

Of course, his next job will not allow his future wife to have everything handed to her. He will have to stay in the special brigade outside Beijing for a few years, and perhaps he will have to go to the grassroots level in the future.

Yi Tangtang clenched her fist and waved, "Okay, I'll try my best to learn my godmother's skills. But, Brother Liuyi, my godmother said that my embroidery skills have reached a master level, so you have to give me a reward."

Liuyi looked at her sly smile and chuckled to himself, "Okay, tell me what you want."

Wuyi, who was standing by, listened to Zhang's mother and the others chatting together. He turned around boredly and moved closer to them. "What are you talking about? You look so happy."

"No, Brother Wuyi, Xiaojiu is too busy to help in the kitchen."

"That damn girl, didn't I tell you that my family isn't the Zheng family?" Wuyi turned around immediately after hearing that. "I have to go see what she's doing."

Liuyi scratched Yi Tangtang's nose and said, "You naughty boy!"

Yi Tangtang laughed happily, tugged at his sleeve, and motioned him to follow her.

Liuyi raised his eyebrows and followed her out of the front yard and into the main yard without saying a word.

"Brother Liuyi, do you want me to tell you a secret?"

Seeing the little girl's mysterious expression, Liuyi rarely showed a bright smile and looked at her lovingly, "Another new discovery?"

Yi Tangtang looked at him blankly, then covered his face with his hands, "Don't laugh, I'm talking about serious matters." And don't send a message, my heart is beating so fast.

Liuyi glanced at her blushing face, looked away, and walked towards the main courtyard living room first, and asked casually, "Okay, let me hear about our little Tangtang's business."

Yi Tangtang followed closely, stretched out his hand to hold his arm, and lowered his voice, "Xiaojiu has a bill book. It's so thick that I can remember every single item when I sneak a peek at it."

"oh."

"Didn't godmother give her several pieces of cloth last night? I saw her registering before going to bed, but I didn't expose her and pretended to be asleep."

"Oh, is that it?"

"Oh, of course it's more than that." Yi Tangtang curled her lips, "Brother Liuyi, you underestimate me. She also has a gold-inlaid jade pendant hanging around her neck. Isn't that strange?"

Liuyi's eyes flashed, "Is there a problem?"

"Not really. I deliberately showed her the jade pendant I was wearing, and she took it off to show me. It was a very ordinary mutton-fat jade. She said it was a relic left to her by her mother. I was just wondering why the Zheng family didn't leave?"

As they were talking, the two entered the living room. Liuyi pulled her to sit down and warned her, "Don't be curious. Everyone has their own secrets. If she doesn't tell you, just pretend you don't know."

"Yeah, I understand. If she doesn't tell me, I won't ask. My godmother said that it's best to stop when dealing with others. If you tell the truth out of kindness, you're just giving them something to hold against you."

Liuyi shook his head with a laugh. "So, my mom has already given you some valuable information, and she's even telling you this?"

"Of course." Yi Tangtang shook her head proudly. "Who am I? Her only goddaughter."

"Then the surname should be Zhou."

Yi Tangtang stared at him, neither nodding nor shaking his head, covering his mouth and laughing silently.

Pink bubbles were scattered everywhere, and in the kitchen, Wuyi was leaning against the door with his arms folded, looking at the steaming Xiaojiu with his head tilted.

This girl is really good at work. Look at how neat she is. She looks just like her mother! If she looks fine after a few more days, why don't you ask her mother to adopt her as your daughter?

Fortunately, Yi Tangtang didn't find out about this, otherwise she would really fight you to the death. She is proud that she is Zhou Jiao's only goddaughter.

There are so many benefits to being his goddaughter. Not to mention whether the public funds for going abroad are enough to fill her stomach, just think about it, since she is his own sister, how can he treat her badly?

Of course, if he treated her well, she would have to be filial to his mother in the future. In the future, he would cook more dishes to appease his mother and accompany her shopping more often. Then his mother would have a caring little cotton-padded jacket.

Wuyi was secretly happy about his plan. After Xiaojiu had served the dishes, he waved to her and said, "Girl, I want to discuss something with you."

Aunt Yuan happily snatched the wooden shovel from her hand and pushed her, "Go play with them, you've already taken away a lot of my work."

Xiaojiu smiled when he heard that, smoothed his clothes, and walked to Wuyi, "Wait a minute, I'll wash my hands."

Watching her turn on the faucet, Wuyi glanced around and asked somewhat unhappily, "Didn't my cousin's wife and cousin tell me they would come over to help?"

Xiaojiu paused, then turned off the faucet, shook his head, and changed the subject, "What do you want to talk to me about? Has it been dealt with over there?"

Wuyi tapped her head and said, "You're deliberately changing the subject. You're really petty. They're outsiders, besides my grandparents. Just treat them normally. There's no need to cook for them yourself."

Xiao Jiu stared into his eyes for a moment and nodded, "I understand."

"You know what..." Wuyi glanced at her and immediately swallowed the indecent word. "We are not those people from the Zheng family. Just feel free in my house. Don't you little girls like flowers and plants? It would be nice to play in the backyard with Xiaotanger."

Xiao Jiu smiled and said, "Okay."

"Look at how beautiful your smile is. Not so ugly anymore." Wuyi pointed in a direction considerately. "Come on, I know you're not used to interacting with strangers. I'll take you to the backyard. I have a study in the yard. Have you read those books? They're all very good."
