Yu Zhi felt a little regretful.
It was just as Shi Rui said, there were only him and his grandfather at home.
But no one told her that there are seven or eight nannies here!
It’s not that she hasn’t experienced life surrounded by maids, but that seemed like something from her previous life, and even the memory of it now seemed a little vague.
So when she opened the door and saw five or six people in the yard looking back at her, she was stunned.
It is true that they were all looking at her with kindness and curiosity, but Yu Zhi could hardly bear such enthusiastic gazes.
Later, Shi Rui gave his own explanation. After all, his grandfather was old and it would be inconvenient for him to be alone at home. The house was also very big, so he asked his aunt to help take care of him.
Yu Zhi nodded. Actually, she was just a little scared, but she understood the matter very well.
After breakfast, Shi Rui took her for a walk in the yard. It was more like a tour than a walk.
Yu Zhi once again felt how profound the Shi family's wealth was, and it was probably not much different from the Yu family's status in the past.
I can't help but feel a little relieved, that's good enough.
The two walked side by side. Shi Rui raised his hand to block the branches in front of her eyes and explained, "My parents are probably still traveling somewhere abroad. I'm afraid they won't be back for the New Year."
Yu Zhi was curious. Isn’t the Chinese New Year a big event? Doesn’t it require family reunion?
Seeing her confusion, the man smiled helplessly and said, "Our family doesn't care about this. The two of them are more liberal. They will come back once or twice a year to accompany grandpa, but..."
The girl looked up, waiting for his next words.
"However, I told them that you were here. They should come back soon after the New Year to see you."
Meet...
"Why do you want to see me?" The little alarm bell in Yu Zhi's heart rang instantly. There was something wrong with this person!
Shi Rui didn't feel guilty at all and responded, "Because I told them you're very important to me, right?"
There was indeed nothing wrong with what he said. Senior brother was also very important to her. The girl felt relieved and stopped thinking about it, but she ignored the smile on the corner of the man's mouth behind her.
When I returned to the room, the aunts had already filled the table with red couplets, which looked very festive.
Grandpa waved at them, and as they walked over, they heard him say with a smile, "In previous years, we always had the workers put up the couplets directly. Today, Zhizhi is here, so let's have some fun... what's that called? Ah, a sense of ritual. That's right, let's all put up the Spring Festival couplets together!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other people in the room cheered.
The feeling of the New Year now is actually not as good as before.
Although Yu Zhi did not have any special feelings for that era, she had to admit that the Spring Festival when she was a child was very interesting.
Often one day in advance, all the men, women, young and old in the family will go out to clean the house or paste up Spring Festival couplets. The couplets are usually written by a master, whose calligraphy is not even as good as his father's.
Children love to do these group activities. Even Yu Zhi is no exception. She walks around with her short legs and doesn't feel tired.
Later, when I grew up a little, I knew more or less how to put on airs, and coupled with the deliberate restrictions of my master, I stayed away from this kind of activity.
When I pick it up again now, I feel nostalgic, especially when I do these things with my senior brother.
The little girl's expression became distant, as if she had returned to that place, to those days, and her mood gradually improved.
She thought she would spend the day peacefully, but...
Yu Zhi gritted her teeth and looked at the person in front of her who was holding up the Spring Festival couplets. She began to wonder if she had been kicked in the head just now to think that she would be peaceful when this person was around.
Shi Rui was 1.85 meters tall, more than a head taller than Yu Zhi. Even if he raised his hands high, the little girl would not be able to reach it no matter what.
At first, Yu Zhi really tried to take it seriously. When she stood on tiptoe, she couldn't control her balance and her body involuntarily stuck to this person, but even so, she still couldn't reach it.
The little girl was so angry that her mouth was puffed up and her eyes were wide open.
But Shi Rui felt relieved. The nostalgia and sadness revealed in her eyes just now made him feel panic inexplicably, as if... they were obviously very close, but it seemed like they were thousands of miles apart.
Now, having such a lively girl makes me feel more at ease.
But you can't tease him too much, otherwise it will be difficult to coax him in the future. Shi Rui is very experienced in this regard.
The man returned the Spring Festival couplets to her and rubbed the top of the girl's head, as if to apologize: "Don't be angry, you won't be able to complete the task later."
The task grandpa taught them today was to paste the Spring Festival couplets on the gate.
Yu Zhi pursed her lips, thinking that it was you who was causing trouble, but she still obediently continued to do the unfinished work.
The old man in the distance was sitting on a bench at the door, watching the interaction between the two, and after a while he smiled with relief.
Seeing this, the butler beside him lowered his head, seemed to wipe away tears, and sighed: "Young Master, there is finally someone to accompany you."
The old man nodded without saying anything, his eyes full of kindness and pride.
-------------------------------------
There are many people, and it is indeed lively.
The next morning, Yu Zhi was awakened by the sound outside the window. After washing up and walking out of the room, she found red lanterns hanging everywhere in the house.
Grandpa stood under the tree directing the group, while the others pulled out their phones to record the performance or cheered them on. Meanwhile, the man with the lantern hanging from the tree...
It turned out to be Shi Rui.
She had seen him angry or gentle, but Yu Zhi had never seen him look like this, just like an ordinary child.
His expression at this moment was not very relaxed, and his brows were tightly frowned, but even so, it was not difficult to see that he was at his most relaxed moment.
There is no intrigue or worldly wisdom. Here he just needs to settle down and enjoy the peace of mind that home brings. That's great.
Yu Zhi leaned against the wall, crossed her arms, and looked for a long time.
He finally hung a big lantern securely on the tree branch. Shi Rui wanted to turn around to look at the ladder under his feet, but unexpectedly made eye contact with the girl not far away.
She seemed to have been looking at him for a long time. This realization undoubtedly made him much more excited, and he slowly smiled.
Yu Zhi knew before that this person had a very nice smile, and his smile in different situations would bring different impacts to others.
Just like at this moment, the winter sun shines through the branches onto his face, it is very warm, but not even one ten-thousandth as warm as this man's smile.
Her heart suddenly hit her head, Yu Zhi covered it with her hand and frowned slightly.
The next moment, the girl seemed relieved and raised her hand to greet him.
Let it go, Yu Zhi thought.
Whether you are moved or not, just let it be.
