Chapter 126 Welcome Home
He Zheyan didn't want to answer, but Shen Ruochu urged him, "You have such a weird expression, where are you?"
"...haunted house." He Zheyan sighed and replied.
Everyone present:? ?
Shen Ruochu clicked his tongue twice, "Are all your young people's ideas so unconventional now? You actually went to a haunted house to spend New Year's Eve. You really have an open mind."
He Zheyan was speechless. His cousin was only two years older than them. What did they mean by “you young people”? It's as if she is the elder.
Chao Chao didn't quite understand, so he turned around and asked Yuan Yuan in a low voice, "What is a haunted house?"
"Oh, it's the haunted house. My brother's classmates went there to spend the night." Yuanyuan was very excited and looked at He Zheyan, "Brother, why don't you go? If you go, you can take me with you. I will bring my biubiu lightsaber, which will be very impressive."
As he was talking, he said "Ah" again, "I can also bring sister Chaochao with me. Do you want to go?"
Chao Chao shook his head frantically, his expression terrified as if he didn't know Yuan Yuan at all, and said hurriedly, "No, I won't go, no, no, no."
"Why?"
Why? ? ?
Chao Chao also wanted to ask him why he wanted to spend the night in a haunted house, because it was a haunted house! ! What normal child would go to a haunted house?
Chaochao was very afraid of ghosts. When she was in Shangliu Village, she lived alone in a dilapidated woodshed. Sometimes when the wind was strong, it would make a humming sound when blowing through the house, which was particularly creepy in the middle of the night.
But Hu Baodun often scared her, saying that ghosts liked to eat lonely children in the middle of the night. They would quietly grab the child's legs and drag her away, and she would never come back.
Therefore, Chao Chao always curled up when he slept, and tried his best to tuck his legs into the worn sheets.
Fortunately, she was very tired from work during the day and fell asleep almost as soon as she touched the pillow at night, so she had no time to feel scared.
But despite this, she would occasionally be woken up by the cold in the middle of the night, and then she could only huddle in a corner and stare with her eyes wide open until dawn.
So she really couldn't understand why anyone would take the initiative to provoke ghosts. What if they were dragged away?
He Zheyan was also troubled by his brother's behavior. "Yuanyuan, don't think about it. I don't know where the haunted house they are talking about is."
"You can call and ask."
“…”
"You don't even have your classmate's phone number, do you?"
“…”
"Brother, you're not very popular. I told you that you're so good at studying that people envy you. Be more careful in exams next time."
“…”
"Hey, you're already this old, and you still need me to teach you all these social etiquettes. It's really a headache."
He Zheyan slowly tightened the chopsticks in his hand and looked at Yuanyuan calmly, "Don't even think about the haunted house. If you really want to stay up all night for the New Year's Eve, it's okay. I can make up for it tomorrow night and you'll get over it."
Yuanyuan turned around, got down from the chair and ran away, leaving behind a sentence, "You can't win the argument so you abuse me. What kind of brother are you?"
He Zheyan just laughed, raised his eyes and said to Chao Chao gently, "Ignore him, just eat yours."
Everyone at the table laughed quietly.
Chao Chao lowered her head and drank her soup silently. Although she couldn't understand a lot of the words her cousin and brother Yuanyuan had just said to each other, for some reason, she seemed to have seen a fight with swords crackling.
In the following period of time, Chaochao didn't see Yuanyuan anymore. His mother said that he was avoiding his eldest cousin.
She went to bed early at night because she had to get up early the next morning to dress up.
Chaochao felt a little nervous when she thought about the many relatives she didn’t know coming over tomorrow.
Fortunately, she has traveled to many places with her parents during this period and seen a lot of things, so she can slowly adjust herself.
The next morning, Chao Chao woke up full of energy. After breakfast, Song Zhen brought the makeup artist to do her makeup.
The other party was a young and capable girl. When she saw Chaochao, she started to praise her, saying that she had a good foundation, good looks, and nice skin.
Chao Chao felt embarrassed by the praise, and Song Zhen and Jian Yunsang looked at each other helplessly.
It is certain that Chao Chao has a good foundation and good looks, but her skin... After two years of living in the wind and sun in Shangliu Village, coupled with frostbite in the winter, Chao Chao's skin is really not that good.
I took good care of myself during the days since I came back, and also got some medicine prescribed by the hospital to apply every day, and now I have gotten much better.
Now she does look pink and tender, but if it is really like what the makeup artist said, it is really too exaggerated.
However, they still agreed with what she said. Chaochao's skin was not suitable for using too much makeup. A little foundation would make her look better.
The makeup artist was very skilled and finished Chao Chao's makeup in no time.
The little girl froze and dared not move. She just felt something strange on her face. Then she combed her hair upwards, and soon it became a bun.
After everything was done, the makeup artist placed a mirror in front of Chaochao. The little girl widened her eyes slightly. Is this really her? Is she that pretty?
Jian Yunsang asked with a smile, "How is it? If there is anything you are not satisfied with, you can still make changes."
Chao Chao shook her head quickly, but was afraid that her hair would get messed up if she shook it too much, so she quickly calmed her head and said, "No, I, I like it very much."
She really liked it. Her face was white with a rosy glow, her eyebrows were thin and curved, her lips were painted with lipstick, and they were pink and shiny. She also wore a very beautiful headband with pearls and leaf-like decorations on it, and there were small hairpins on both sides of her hair.
She never knew she could be so beautiful.
After getting dressed up, Chao Chao was taken downstairs by Jian Yunsang and Song Zhen.
Everyone was already waiting downstairs, and they all knew each other, so they were not afraid at all at this moment.
Shen Ruochu took the lead and handed her the prepared gift, "Welcome Chao Chao home, I hope our little Chao Chao will be safe and healthy in the future, smooth and worry-free."
"Thanks."
Soon after, Yuanyuan and others also stepped forward and handed over the things they had prepared for Chaochao, and everyone said welcome home to Chaochao.
She didn't know why, she had been back for a while and was familiar with everyone, but when she heard the words "Welcome home Chaochao", her heart felt sad and she had an urge to cry.
Fortunately, Yuanyuan soon took her out to play and diverted her attention, so that she no longer had to worry about ruining her makeup.
Before long, the invited guests arrived one after another.
Chao Chao instantly became nervous again, especially when she heard the strange voice coming from outside the door. She hurriedly grabbed Jian Yunsang's hand and went forward together.
