"Aunt, I'm fine."
Song Shishi took her aunt's hand and led everyone into the main courtyard.
"Huh? Why didn't I see Xiao Meng?"
My aunt looked around and saw that there was no one in the yard, so she asked curiously.
"He was helping my mother in the small kitchen. My mother didn't want me to get involved, so he went."
Song Shishi let go of her aunt and went to make tea for her uncle and others.
She had specially brought this tea from the military compound.
Her scumbag father has hidden a lot of good things, it would be a waste not to take them.
Zheng Zecheng walked to the table in the yard and sat down with a calm expression.
...
...
He glanced at Zheng Zeqian casually, and that look was like a sharp sword, which instantly made Zheng Zeqian's heart skip a beat.
Zheng Zeqian lowered his head and touched the tip of his nose.
His elder brother's eyes were still as sharp as ever.
Under Zheng Zecheng's gaze, Zheng Zeqian felt inexplicably guilty.
"Shishi, is this the puppy you raised?"
Zheng Yebai was extremely happy when he saw "Little Fifteen" appearing from somewhere.
He teased her twice and looked up at Song Shishi.
"It's called Xiao Shiwu. I raised it when I went to the countryside and brought it back with me when I returned to the city. Now it spends more time with my mother."
She is usually either at work or busy with other things, and often neglects "Xiao Shiwu".
Fortunately, Zheng Peilan also likes "Xiao Shiwu" very much, and they keep each other company, so it's all right.
"Uncle, uncle, aunt."
Meng Xunzhou walked in from the hallway carrying a plate of fruit.
When he saw Zheng Zecheng and the others, he greeted them one by one.
When Zheng Yebai heard Meng Xunzhou's voice, he no longer cared about "Little Fifteen". He rubbed his hands, smiled and went to greet him, calling out, "Brother-in-law!"
Zheng Yebai looked into Meng Xunzhou's eyes, which were as bright as two stars.
Those eyes were full of admiration.
Seeing him like that, the aunt covered her mouth and laughed, "My little Ye has been talking about coming to Xunzhou to play. In his heart, he regards Xiao Meng as a role model."
Song Shishi raised her eyebrows.
She had never realized that Zheng Yebai admired Meng Xunzhou so much.
Zheng Yebai grabbed Meng Xunzhou's arm and said excitedly:
"Brother-in-law, please tell me about what happened in the army. I'm dying of curiosity!
When you are in the army, does everyone carry a gun?
Do you practice every day and can you shoot?
You don't know how envious I am. If I join the army now, will the army accept me?"
Zheng Yebai's mouth was like a machine gun, he kept asking questions.
Meng Xunzhou smiled and patted Zheng Yebai's shoulder, his action was natural and intimate.
"Okay, after dinner, we'll have a good chat. I guarantee you'll be satisfied. There are so many interesting things in the army!"
As he spoke, his eyes unconsciously drifted towards Song Shishi.
Everyone in the family is here today, and Song Shishi has a smile on her face the whole time.
He liked to see her smile.
Song Shishi was chatting with her aunt and the others under the pergola in the main courtyard, while Meng Xunzhou chatted briefly for a few words and then went back to the small kitchen to help Zheng Peilan.
Song Shishi built this pergola bit by bit by herself when the weather started to get hot.
This way, when the sun is out in the summer, you don't have to stare at the sun.
On weekdays, Zheng Peilan likes to grow vegetables and knit in this yard and doesn't go anywhere else.
In the middle of the conversation, my aunt went to the small kitchen for a look, but was driven out by Zheng Peilan.
"Little Fifteen" kept hovering around Song Shishi's feet, rubbing its little head against Song Shishi from time to time, and then lying on its back directly in front of Song Shishi.
That look was just like "seeking momo", which made everyone laugh.
When it was almost noon, Zheng Peilan and Meng Xunzhou came over with a few plates of food. Song Shishi stood up with a smile, looked at Meng Xunzhou, and walked towards the small kitchen to help serve the dishes and get the bowls and chopsticks.
The family sat down at the table to eat, and Zheng Peilan picked up the wine glass in front of her with a smile.
"Shishi, mommy has nothing else to ask for but to wish you good health and happiness. The dishes on the table today are all your favorites, come and have a try."
After Zheng Peilan finished speaking, she glanced at Zheng Zecheng and Zheng Zeqian.
"What happened to you two? Did you have a fight?"
Without waiting for Zheng Zeqian to explain, Zheng Peilan continued, "I've made it clear to you all, today is the day Shishi returns home, if you two want to make a scene, don't do it around her."
Upon hearing this, my aunt also agreed: "That's right, let's eat first, and we can talk about it after we eat."
Zheng Zecheng raised the enamel cup filled with tea.
As a leader, in order to avoid being tricked or schemed into doing something out of line, he simply announced to the public that he was allergic to alcohol.
Over time, Zheng Zecheng also got used to not drinking.
Zheng Zecheng's face was filled with a gratified smile, and he said loudly: "Today is the auspicious day for Shishi to return home. Let us wish Shishi and Xunzhou a long and happy marriage!"
"Thank you, uncle."
During the meal, Zheng Zeqian's mind didn't seem to be here.
His eyes would occasionally glance in the direction of the Chuihua Gate.
Song Shishi naturally knew who he was waiting for.
But today is the day she returns to her parents' home, so Qiao Yanxin and Xu Li naturally want to leave some space in the house for their family.
Zheng Zecheng saw it all and his face gradually darkened.
He cleared his throat twice, and Zheng Zeqian immediately retracted his gaze, then seemingly unintentionally picked up a dish for Song Shishi.
Song Shishi stared at Zheng Zeqian with wide eyes.
My uncle was fine, why did he suddenly add sugar to her?
Isn't this a reminder for her to help cover up?
If her uncle found out about this, she would be dead.
The family finished their meal in harmony, and Meng Xunzhou again offered to wash the dishes.
But his aunt stopped him.
"Go chat with Shishi and your mother, I'll wash the dishes."
As she spoke, the aunt pushed Meng Xunzhou towards Song Shishi.
Zheng Zecheng stood up and glanced at Zheng Zeqian.
"Ze Qian, come with me to the South Study. I have something to tell you."
Zheng Zeqian pursed his lips and slowly moved to Zheng Peilan's side.
"Well, sister-in-law, I'll come with you. You don't know where to put the things in the kitchen."
Zheng Peilan didn't even look at Zheng Zeqian. She picked up the dishes and chopsticks on the table and went after her aunt.
Zheng Zeqian turned his gaze to Song Shishi.
Without waiting for Song Shishi to refuse, Zheng Zeqian whispered, "Don't be disloyal, it's rare for me to ask you for help."
"Uncle, you can only threaten me."
"Hurry up, your uncle will get angry soon, you have to help me block it."
Zheng Zecheng had already gone towards the south study, and Zheng Zeqian was holding Song Shishi and whispering to her behind him.
Seeing this, Meng Xunzhou took Zheng Yebai to help Zheng Peilan and his aunt.
If there is a conflict between the elder uncle and the younger uncle, it would not be appropriate for him to be there.
Zheng Zeqian dragged Song Shishi along and followed Zheng Zecheng into the South Study.
"Brother, what do you want to talk to me about? I've been very quiet recently, so I shouldn't have done anything, right?"
