Shen Xingzhou raised his eyebrows slightly: "I haven't heard that the man asked his uncle to come to the house when he was engaged. He will be invited when he gets married..."
She frowned slightly: "Don't you have a good relationship with your uncle?"
Why does this tone sound...
He smiled slightly, his eyes dimmed, "He is very good to me, but Xiaoxiao, he also has a son."
Fu Xiao stood up from the recliner, walked over to him, touched his head, and coaxed him gently: "Be good, my family will be your family from now on, I will give you half of my brother."
"Hehehe," Shen Xingzhou couldn't help laughing, he put his arms around her waist and sat on her, buried his head in her neck and laughed non-stop.
"Why are you so good?"
Fu Xiao stammered, "I just see that you are unhappy."
"I'm not unhappy," Shen Xingzhou said with a faint smile, "My uncle feels guilty towards my mother, so he cares about me. I don't have any grudge against him, but he has done what he should do."
He played with her little hands and continued, "If there are more, it would be bad to trouble him."
"After all, he has a family too,"
Fu Xiao asked, "Is it your aunt who has something against you?"
"Not really..." Shen Xingzhou smiled and shook his head, "She had sympathy and love for me because I lost my mother at a young age, but as I said, she has her own son. No matter how much she pities me, she can't bypass her son."
His aunt is a family-oriented woman who takes care of her husband and children and raises them to take care of them in their old age.
"When the Shen family's grandfather divided the family property, what he gave to my mother was money, and what he gave to my uncle were connections and a political position..."
Fu Xiao lowered his eyes.
Money in that era...wasn't a good thing.
It seems that Grandpa Shen is also a son-in-law.
As if he could see what she was thinking, Shen Xingzhou leaned over to kiss her lips, “It’s because of this… that uncle feels guilty towards her.”
"But they have more and more sons and grandchildren... their lives are getting more and more difficult. Seeing that I am getting better and better, and thinking of the money I had in the past, my aunt suddenly felt uncomfortable, so she felt towards me... well..." He thought for a long time but couldn't think of an adjective, and finally said: "It's a bit awkward..."
After all, my aunt didn't scold him or beat him, she just no longer had the same sympathy for him as before.
Fu Xiao nodded to show his understanding.
Everyone has this mentality: when you are weak, he may pity you, but when you live better than him, he will feel unbalanced.
"But what you have now... is all earned through your own hard work,"
Shen Xingzhou smiled and interlocked his fingers with her, "Indeed, but I was able to get up, and it was indeed because of the money from the Shen family..."
Fu Xiao curled his lips lightly: "Being able to protect this money and use it to get something, this... is your ability."
"Hmm..." He pretended to think, then nodded in agreement, "Then I am indeed very capable..."
She sneered: "Shameless,"
"Who is the matchmaker you hired?"
Shen Xingzhou's expression paused, then he smiled and said, "Secret..."
He kissed her forehead and said, "Go read a book. I'll take you home after I finish reading these account books..."
"Um,"
After sending Fu Xiao back to the compound, Shen Xingzhou walked out of the compound again, and it was already getting late.
Instead of going home, he drove to the outskirts of Beijing, walked to a remote small courtyard, and knocked on the door.
The person who opened the door was a girl of about fifteen years old. When she saw him, a different light flashed in her eyes, "You are here again..."
“Come in…”
When she reached out her hand, Shen Xingzhou took a step back and said calmly, “I’m here to find Ai Lao…”
The little girl curled her lips and turned sideways, "Grandma Ai has already entered the house..."
Shen Xingzhou just stood in the yard, looking at the master bedroom with the lights on, and bowed, "Mr. Ai...boy Shen Xingzhou, I am here to disturb you again,"
After saying this, it seemed as if he didn't expect the person inside to answer.
He just stood straight at the gate of the yard.
The little girl looked at him like this and scratched her head in confusion, "What a fool..."
Grandma Ai has clearly refused, so why does she still come every day?
He came here and didn't say anything, just standing here.
Standing guard?
She walked into the room and saw an old man lying on the bed, sleeping in an upright position, with his hands clasped in front of him and breathing lightly, obviously soundly asleep.
The little girl tiptoed to the small bed outside and lay down.
You know what, that big brother outside is really handsome.
Watching him these two days, she even drank two extra bowls of rice.
It would be nice if I could hold his hand tomorrow.
Thinking about beautiful things, she smiled and slowly closed her eyes.
Shen Xingzhou, who was standing outside, looked at the crescent moon in the sky, tenderness flashed in his eyes. He wondered if the moon would be as beautiful on August 13th.
When I woke up in the morning, it was just dawn.
The old man lying on the bed opened his eyes, slowly sat up, and called the little girl's name: "Swallow..."
The little girl rubbed her eyes and sat up. She came over and helped her up. "Grandma Ai, why did you wake up so early today?"
The old man sat in front of the dressing table, combing his graying hair with a wooden comb, and looked at her in the mirror. "Is the guy outside still here?"
The little girl tilted her head to look outside and said with a smile, "Grandma Ai, he should be going to buy breakfast now."
Aixia neatly tied up her hair with a hairpin and said, "When someone comes, ask him to wait. I have something to say..."
"Okay,"
