Finally, after the old lady had calmed down for quite some time, Old Man Xu coughed, his cracked lips disappearing:
"Ahem... Everyone, come inside and sit down to chat."
Standing here at the village entrance for a while has already attracted the attention of quite a few people.
Old Xu and the others weren't bothered, but considering their nephew's unusual profession and that incident back then... so many years had passed, the villagers should have almost forgotten about it. Since they had forgotten, there was no need to remind them.
Because, no matter who brings it up, it will only cause more harm to Xiao Dan.
Ye Wanying supported the old lady; to be precise, the old lady never let go of her hand.
Old Man Xu walked at the front, while Gao Dan lagged behind.
......
The Xu family.
Old Master Xu couldn't sit still at all; he paced back and forth in the main room.
"Are you here yet?"
She would occasionally ask the maid beside her.
Forehead...
"Master, we haven't received any news from the master and mistress yet. They probably haven't arrived."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Xu's beard wrinkled:
"Why haven't we arrived yet?"
The servants had no idea about this, and they all silently lowered their heads, making Old Master Xu's old face turn completely dark.
Suddenly, they could faintly hear voices coming from outside the courtyard.
The old man pointed excitedly:
"Quick, go and see!"
"Okay, sir, don't worry, I'll go take a look right away."
When the servants ran to the door, they could see their master walking ahead, with his wife behind him, arm in arm with a young girl, smiling. At the very back was a tall and upright figure. At that moment, how could they not understand?
He immediately started shouting at the top of his lungs into the house:
"They're here, sir, they're here."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Xu took a step forward, seemingly about to rush over, but after taking one step, he sat back down.
What's going on?
The old man reached out and pinched his face, trying to remain calm.
Wow, so that's how it is!
The Xu family, from the very old patriarch up, are all such drama queens, aren't they?
Look at the little old lady, Old Man Xu, and now look at the old man, this idea really fits perfectly.
At the front gate, Old Man Xu walked in first and saw the servant running back into the house. He knew what the servant was going in to do and frowned helplessly.
The people following behind weren't blind; they saw Old Man Xu cough again.
"Well, Xiao Danying, the old master was so excited to know you were coming that he had someone guarding the door the whole time," she explained.
There's really no other meaning behind it.
The couple laughed in tacit agreement. Ye Wanying still didn't speak, clearly leaving the opportunity to speak to the man behind her. Otherwise, who knew when this man would open his mouth?
So, you absolutely can't waste any opportunity; you have to use it!
Gao Dan didn't say anything, but simply moved his feet, which was enough to convey his meaning.
The old man craned his neck, but unfortunately, due to the angle of view, he still couldn't see the people outside, which made him so angry that he started blowing his beard.
The maid saw everything clearly from behind and chuckled to herself.
As soon as Old Man Xu walked in, he saw the servants all smiles and the old man inside behaving in a very childish way.
"Ahem, Dad, Xiao Dan and the others are here."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Xu sat up straight, his face finally regaining its composure.
