"Nuannuan, come here, this is your uncle."
The shy and well-behaved little girl walked back carefully, stood beside her mother obediently, slightly tilted her delicate little face, and looked at the middle-aged man timidly.
"uncle."
She called uncle in a tender voice and nervously held her mother's hand. Her uncle was indeed as majestic as her mother said, and the child couldn't help but want to be good when standing in front of him.
"Um."
The middle-aged man also looked at the girl and nodded slowly, not showing too much enthusiasm, but not making people feel cold and distant either.
"What do you think of this tree?"
He stood tall under the tree with his chin slightly raised, his wise eyes behind his glasses staring at the ginkgo tree. He seemed calm and composed, yet it was as if he was looking at an old friend.
Nuannuan glanced at him and then looked at the ginkgo tree, and said in a soft voice.
"It greeted me just now. Nuannuan heard them say hello."
Bai Jianyan's eyes flickered when he heard this - "Why them?"
Nuan Nuan tried to calm herself down and spoke to him in a soft voice. Although she spoke slowly, her words were clear and her voice was soft, which was pleasing to the ears.
She shook her head honestly - "I don't know, Nuannuan heard a lot of noises."
Bai Jinyan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and waved naturally. Nuannuan glanced at her parents, and at their nods, she walked over with her short legs.
Her uncle's gentle big hand landed on her head, pressing it lightly.
"Just come back."
The old tree is spiritual and the little child is cute, a rare, pure and spiritual child.
Nuannuan was standing next to her uncle. She smiled with a smile on her face when she heard the words, and her furry little head arched in his palm.
The Bai family's old house is very quiet, but it is not lonely. Instead, it has a sense of comfort that makes people feel calm.
At this time, a beautiful woman in cheongsam walked out. Just by standing there, one could feel the profound historical beauty she brought with her. She was like a beauty walking out of a scroll, with a quiet and elegant demeanor.
"This is my aunt."
Mother Gu patted her little head gently, then nodded and smiled at the woman and called out.
"Sister-in-law." "Aunt."
Nuan Nuan also called out in a gentle voice, and the beautiful woman smiled. She was almost fifty years old, but time seemed to have stopped for her. Except for the white hair in her hair, she seemed as charming as she was when she was young.
"Nuannuan, come here."
The cheongsam beauty has a gentle voice, and when she smiles, her eyes carry a warmth that brings peace and tranquility.
The little girl looked at her as she walked slowly towards him, and her aunt grabbed her soft little hand and looked at her carefully with a smile on her face.
"That's great. You look a lot like your grandmother. You will definitely be a famous beauty in the future. When you grow up, your father and brothers will have a headache."
Her aunt spoke softly and Nuannuan liked it very much. She couldn't help but move a little closer. However, there was a hint of confusion in her clear eyes about what she said. However, she cared more about another point.
"Does Aunt also know Grandma?"
The cheongsam beauty nodded slowly, took her little hand and walked slowly inside. She looked up at the sky, as if she was recalling something, with a slow smile on the corners of her mouth.
"Yes, she is the goddess of your mother and me."
Nuannuan opened her eyes wide, her grandma was truly amazing, so many people remembered her and admired her.
Of course, after listening to her mother tell many stories about her grandmother, Nuannuan also admires her grandmother very much. Unfortunately, she can't see her grandmother anymore, and she only has a photo of her grandmother that she carefully keeps.
Walking along the corridors with carved beams and painted buildings, we saw many beautiful and elegant rockery ponds and various thriving flowers. Nuannuan felt that her eyes were not enough.
Different from those villas that look grand and luxurious at first glance, the Siheyuan is exquisite in every detail and has another style of beauty.
After we sat down in the living room, my aunt poured tea for everyone in a beautiful and graceful manner. Several people sat on wooden chairs, no one spoke, just sipped tea quietly, but it did not make people feel dull and depressed. Instead, there was a sense of leisure and elegance in the beautiful scenery.
"We couldn't get away to visit Nuannuan when she came back. I will take your sister-in-law with me on her birthday. Mo Hua will be back soon. But I still can't get in touch with Mo Shu. If I can come back on Nuannuan's birthday, I will definitely take him with me."
Mother Gu nodded. "We understand Shu'er's situation, but when will Hua'er come back?"
"He said tomorrow, but you know his character, maybe he will give us a surprise."
Nuannuan held the tea in her hands and drank it in small sips. The emerald green tea in the purple clay teacup looked like a piece of crystal clear jade. The white misty water vapor carried a faint tea fragrance and drifted to her nose, which smelled extremely good.
Nuannuan blew on it and took a small sip. Her clean eyes sparkled with joy, like a crescent moon. Her cute face looked extremely happy.
When the aunt-in-law saw the cheongsam beauty, her smile widened and she couldn't help pinching her little face.
She also had two sons, and she loved this sweet and gentle little girl from her sister-in-law's family very much.
The little girl was gentle and let her aunt pinch her soft little cheeks. Perhaps because she was shy, a touch of light pink like peach blossoms appeared on her milky white face. She was a pink and white ball of milk, and looked extremely soft and obedient.
She sat there obediently without saying a word, but just raised her little ears and listened carefully to what the adults said.
From their conversation, we can roughly guess that the one who is coming back is my second cousin, the one who likes painting.
I just don't know what the surprise they are talking about is.
During this time, my uncle and aunt went to the study. When they came back, my aunt put a emerald green jade bracelet on Nuannuan's small wrist.
"This is the jade bracelet I wore when I was a child. There is no girl in my aunt's family, so I'm giving it to Nuannuan for safekeeping."
The emerald green jade bracelet looked very nice on her fair wrist. But she had a feeling that it must be very expensive. Nuannuan looked at her mother nervously.
Mother Gu was obviously a little surprised - "Sister-in-law, this is not... this is what you have been carrying since you were a child."
It seems that this bracelet is really valuable to my aunt.
The cheongsam beauty just smiled - "It's expensive only because of the friendship of the person who gave it to you. After all, it's a dead thing. People have to wear it and cherish it. If you keep it for too long, it will be a waste of it."
Seeing this, Mother Gu stopped trying to dissuade her and just nodded to Nuan Nuan: "Gifts from elders cannot be refused, so Nuan Nuan, please accept it."
Nuannuan hummed, and placed her slender white hands obediently on her knees, and thanked the woman softly and sincerely.
"Thank you, aunt. Nuannuan will cherish it."
The woman smiled and rubbed her head.
At this time, the majestic uncle also pushed a wooden box in front of her.
“This is a gift from my uncle.”
Nuan Nuan looked at him eagerly - "Can I open it?"
Bai Jianyan raised his hand, took a sip of tea, and nodded slowly.
Nuannuan carefully opened the wooden box, and inside was a seal, a white jade little rabbit seal.
Nuannuan was born in the year of the rabbit, and below the seal is a word “Nuan” carved in seal script.
