Chapter 157: Sister Xie, a Flower in Full Bloom (Part 3)
Xie Dingyuan's feet paused.
Zhong Ziang's alarm bells immediately rang: "Just a joke, hehe..."
The uncle and nephew went downstairs one after the other.
Xie Yunzao quickly called out, "A Yuan, it's time to eat."
"Um."
Zhong Ziang said in a gloomy tone: "Mom, you didn't even call me."
"Why do you need to yell? No one is more enthusiastic about eating and drinking than you."
Zhong Ziang: “…”
The Xie family does not have the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping, but Xie Dingyuan does.
So, at the huge dining table, everyone else was chatting in low voices, while Xie Dingyuan was the only one concentrating on eating.
When others sit there, it is as if they have their own barrier, separating the two worlds.
Fortunately, everyone has gotten used to it over the years. If Xie Dingyuan suddenly becomes talkative one day, that would be terrifying.
Ms. Fu used a serving chopstick to put a large red shrimp into her son's bowl and said, "Ayuan, eat more. You've lost weight after being in Linhuai for so long."
"Thank you, Mom."
Ms. Fu looked at him with such heartache.
Zhong Ziang curled his lips. Has he lost weight?
No way!
As for his uncle's abnormal eating habits, even the salt intake is strictly calculated. He doesn't smoke or drink, and he doesn't touch anything that is too salty or spicy. He is a walking health machine.
The words fat and thin do not appear in his description.
Only the old lady's mother can see the thin man.
Unexpectedly, Xie Yunzao also nodded: "Xiaojiu often stays in the lab, locked up all day, and can't eat well. He needs to supplement his diet."
Then, he picked up another big red shrimp for him: "Steamed, fresh and healthy."
Zhong Ziang: “…” The rice in the bowl suddenly lost its fragrance.
Xie Dingyuan glanced at the big red shrimp in the bowl and said nothing. Even if he ate it, his selenium intake today would exceed the standard.
After dinner, Xie Dingyuan rested for a few minutes, drank a cup of green tea, and went to the garden as usual to digest the food.
Although Zhong Ziang had seen him countless times in Linhuai, he still couldn't help but admire his uncle's abnormal self-discipline.
Awesome.
After a while, Xie Yunxiang and his family arrived.
Zhong Ziang stood up and called out, "Second Aunt."
"We are handsome again."
"hey-hey……"
Then Xie Yunlan, Xie Yunshu, Xie Yunxuan and Xie Yunmiao also came with their families.
Zhong Ziang readily agreed: "Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt, Fifth Aunt, Sixth Aunt."
Then each aunt praised him one by one——
"Angang is getting taller again."
"The eyebrows and eyes are different when they grow out. They are more handsome than your father."
"You dress pretty cool, right? Isn't that the trend these days...who wouldn't love sunglasses?"
"Our Xie family has good genes. Look at Ang Ang's little face. He inherited all the good qualities of his grandparents."
Zhong Yunyi, who was sitting aside, looked at the group of sisters-in-law in front of him and said, "Well, keep smiling."
As for whether it’s genetic or not, it doesn’t matter. It’s not important. As long as everyone is happy.
Ms. Fu heard a noise in the living room and hurried out of the tea room.
Then, a group of women surrounded him like butterflies——
"mom."
"How's your health lately?"
"I heard Xiaojiu is back, so I brought Ah Xiao over to see him. Originally, Lao Cen wanted to come too, but something unexpected happened in City A, so he rushed over to deal with it overnight."
"Where are Dad and Xiaojiu? Why haven't we seen them for so long?"
"I brought a lot of things."
“I just bought some.”
"What a coincidence! We sisters all thought of the same thing!"
"It's not hard to come back, so why would I come back empty-handed?"
As soon as he finished speaking, drivers from every company came in one after another, carrying large and small bags.
Soon, the living room coffee table, sofa, and chairs were piled up and finally placed on the floor.
The pile is as high as a hill.
Zhong Ziang swallowed his saliva. His cousin Cen Jiuxiao stood next to him with the same dull expression.
“…My mom and the others are so scary.”
Zhong Ziang reacted and counseled him earnestly: "It's okay, just get used to it."
Cen Jiuxiao: "...No wonder Wei Ge refused to come and would rather stay at home playing games..."
Ming Wei is the son of Xie Yunxuan, the fifth son of the Xie family, and the cousin of Cen Jiuxiao and Zhong Ziang.
"What's that?" Zhong Ziang snorted, his expression a bit like, "I've seen a lot of things before." "You're so surprised because you haven't seen anything bigger."
"Huh? Bigger?" Ming Wei's scalp tingled. "Brother Ang, don't lie to me."
"Tsk, believe it or not." He still didn't want to say it!
"Axiao——" Xie Yunmiao called him.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
"Go look for your uncle in the garden. It's so hot out here, so you don't have to worry about getting a heat stroke."
“…Oh.” Cen Jiuxiao left with his head hung low.
In fact, he did not have a deep impression of Xie Dingyuan, because they had very few opportunities to meet. He was usually not at his grandmother's house. He either heard about his deeds from his mother and aunts, or learned about it from textbooks or extracurricular reading materials.
But this did not hinder his admiration for his uncle. It was like looking at a "great man" in a window or appreciating the "collection" of a museum. Although he could not get close to him, it did not diminish his admiration for him.
Of course, there is also a lot of awe.
Imagine that this person, who is seen as a distant figure by others and often appears in news reports, is actually your own uncle?!
Isn’t this thrilling enough?
But his mother never let him talk nonsense outside, and only said: The nature of your uncle's work is special, so he should keep a low profile if possible, and we can't cause trouble for him.
Cousin Mingwei was also told the same thing.
Cen Jiuxiao arrived at the garden and found Xie Dingyuan without much effort. Under the scorching sun, next to the flower stand, surrounded by rockery, strange rocks and shady green trees, he was strolling leisurely, calm and composed.
"Uncle..." He walked over and called out.
"Ah Xiao?" He stopped. "Is there something wrong?"
The boy's eyes flashed with surprise, "Uncle still remembers me?"
"You look a lot like Sixth Sister."
Cen Jiuxiao blushed: "My mother asked me to come to you, saying that it's hot outside and it's easy to get heatstroke..."
Knowing Xie Yunmiao's temperament, he hummed softly, "Let's go."
"ah?"
"Don't you want to go back to the house?"
"Oh!" Cen Jiuxiao followed happily.
…
inside the house.
Xie Yunlan had sharp eyes and she noticed Xie Dingyuan almost as soon as he came in.
The smile seemed to overflow from his eyes: "Xiaojiu is back!"
Xie Dingyuan's back stiffened.
Then, several sisters surrounded him like bees to flowers.
Xie Yunxiang's eyes sparkled with tears: "I haven't seen you for a year. You've become darker and thinner."
"Fortunately, your appearance hasn't changed. You're still as handsome as before." Xie Yunlan smiled and patted his shoulder.
Xie Yunshu scolded: "It's fine that we don't talk on the phone normally, but now you have a stern face when we meet."
Xie Yunxuan felt distressed: "Fourth sister, you know Xiaojiu's personality, why would you say that to him? He finally came back once..."
Xie Yunmiao nodded: "That's right! Come, Xiaojiu, I bought you something to wear, come and take a look..."
"I bought you some things like razors, but you're so used to the old ones that you don't even know how to get new ones."
"I asked your brother-in-law to get you some equipment abroad. Didn't you say last time that you couldn't buy it in China..."
In this way, Xie Dingyuan was surrounded by flowers and walked into the living room.
Hmm…stiff toes.
The third update, two thousand words, just finished coding, UI Nan is warm.
Xie Jiujiu: Do you have a sister?
Jiang Fuyue: No.
Xie Jiujiu: I have eight [smiles]
Just wave your hand and ask for a ticket~
