This is the most brutal way to kill someone and destroy their heart.
I guess Ning Zhihuan felt very relieved, and he smiled a lot more often.
Xiao Yuchi saw this and his eyes flickered.
The atmosphere did not change at all because of Ning Hong's departure. Instead, it seemed to become more relaxed.
Time passed quietly, until Old Lady Ning called them to dinner, and then they realized that it was getting late.
Ning Zhihuan, in particular, was woken up from his sleep by someone. The strange thing was that the atmosphere was warm and the people around him made him feel completely safe.
Otherwise she wouldn't have fallen asleep.
I just don’t know what Xiao Yuchi was doing when I was asleep.
Thinking of this, the girl raised her eyelids and glanced at the boy next to her. Her eyes happened to meet his and theirs intertwined in the air.
Ning Zhihuan looked away a little embarrassedly. As for why he felt embarrassed, Ning Zhihuan attributed it to the fact that she slept alone without him, and she felt a little guilty.
What she didn't know was that during the time she was asleep, Xiao Yuchi's eyes were almost always on her.
I was wondering...how could someone sleep so well?
The younger generation, Old Lady Ning, and An Mao were sitting at the table preparing, the women were busy in the kitchen, and the men were rolling up their sleeves to serve the dishes.
Ning Zhihuan discovered that Butler An, who had disappeared for a long time, reappeared at the dinner table without knowing when.
As soon as he saw two people walking towards him shoulder to shoulder, his eyes sparkled.
He looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
In the end, it was Ning Zhihuan who took the initiative to ask, "Uncle An, where have you been? Why haven't I seen you all afternoon?"
An Mao waved his hand happily when he heard this, and seemed to be in a good mood.
"Nothing, nothing, just a little trouble, I'll take care of it."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuchi looked up at him and said nothing.
Ning Zhihuan didn't care, nodded, and didn't ask any further questions.
The dishes were almost served, and it was not difficult to see that Ning Hong, who had been angry and left, had dressed up and arrived late.
After saying hello, he sat down. I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but the position he chose was very tricky, sitting right opposite Xiao Yuchi.
Ning Zhihuan was amused and didn't know why Ning Hong was so thick-skinned.
If it were her, she definitely wouldn't be able to do it.
Even after being rejected so many times, she can still stick to him naturally. Maybe this can be considered a skill of hers.
After all, from another perspective, she is still quite persistent.
The adults also took their seats, and Old Mrs. Ning briefly summarized the year, mainly about what major events and changes had taken place in the year.
It focuses on the story of Ning Zhihuan. It was only at this time that Ning Qinghua, who had been away from home for many years, realized how outstanding his beloved daughter was.
He was excited and thrilled.
He wanted to go around the whole village beating drums and gongs and shouting that his daughter was not stupid at all, but very smart.
Old Mrs. Ning spoke enthusiastically and everyone else found her talk interesting.
People like Xiao Yuchi and Ning Zhilang also have a deeper understanding of Ning Zhihuan.
Ning Hong, on the other hand, looked uneasy.
But for some reason, she didn't say anything to spoil the mood. She just ate her food obediently, and her eyes would occasionally fall on Xiao Yuchi with a bit of impertinence.
Apart from that, there's nothing special.
Only Ning Hong herself knew that the veins on her hands that were holding the chopsticks were popping out. God knows how much effort she had to put in to not say anything.
After Mrs. Ning finished her speech, everyone started eating.
Today's meal can be said to be the most sumptuous meal in the history of the Ning family, no doubt about it.
The Chinese New Year with Ning Zhihuan's blessing is naturally extraordinary.
Everyone was happily eating and talking about family matters. The Ning family didn't have any rules at the dinner table, so everyone just did whatever they wanted.
Except for Ning Hongma's frown, everything else was harmonious.
I was worried before that someone with a cold personality like Xiao Yuchi wouldn't be able to fit into this kind of environment well, and might even find them noisy.
Xiao Yuchi's cold silence also ruined the atmosphere.
I just didn't expect everything to be so surprisingly in sync.
Although Xiao Yuchi still doesn't talk much, he will answer all the questions. His attitude is humble but not servile, nor is he condescending. The way he gets along with people makes people feel very comfortable.
If all else fails, there is still An Mao.
Ning Zhihuan then discovered that An Mao was actually a hidden social expert. In just a short while, he was almost able to ask her father to become his sworn brother.
The meal was filled with laughter, excitement, delicious food and lots of laughs.
Perhaps infected by this atmosphere, even Ning Zhikun started talking more and would make a few jokes from time to time.
"Mom, you cooked this dish so well, you must be crying and arguing, otherwise why is it so salty?"
When Li Xueyan heard this, she was stunned with surprise at first. After Ning Qingzhong gently pushed her, she finally reacted, with tears in her eyes.
"Maybe. I accidentally added too much salt. Otherwise, should I stir-fry some vegetables?"
After saying that, she made a move to take the dishes to the kitchen, but was stopped by Ning Zhikun and Ning Qingzhong who was beside her.
"It's okay, Mom. As the old saying goes, eat salty food and look at light things. There's nothing wrong with that."
Old Mrs. Ning laughed cheerfully and called him a little rascal.
Ning Zhigan was finally not scolded on such a day. After receiving a few glares from Li Xueyan, he restrained himself a little and continued to sweep up the delicacies on the table unscrupulously.
The meal was quite good except that Ning Hong kept wanting to say something but couldn't, which made her feel like she was constipated.
Finally, Ning Qinghua, drunk and dizzy, pulled An Mao with him. The two of them patted his shoulders like brothers and said, "Let's spend the New Year together again next year! There should be more opportunities like this in the future. Come and play more often, right? ... Hiccup"
In comparison, An Mao seemed more normal and could drink much better than Ning Qinghua.
He nodded with a smile and looked at Xiao Yuchi as if asking for credit.
Look at how dedicated he is. He has a good relationship with Ning Zhihuan's father, so he is invited to come more often.
Unfortunately, Xiao Yuchi didn't even look at him and didn't get his "eye contact".
If Ning Qinghua knew that An Mao was coming for his precious daughter, he would probably be chased away with a broom as soon as they met.
After dinner, everyone helped to clean up, pulled the TV cable outside, and set up a large round table, which was filled with New Year's goods.
There are peanuts, melon seeds, pecans, walnuts and countless other small snacks.
Then he put a large pot of charcoal fire under the table to warm his calves.
In such an atmosphere, my heart feels warm.
