Kwun Tong Villa

Jiang Mutang was helpless about the reason why her cousin was afraid of the cold and was reluctant to go out. She looked at the watch and said, "About two hours later, I will pick you up and have dinner together in the evening. The dining venue is far from Hexi. It is not safe for you to drive alone."

"Can you not go to have a meal?" Jiang Sesse said bluntly.

"Do you have other arrangements?"

"There is still a little literature left to read."

"..." Jiang Mutang raised her eyebrows. Anyway, among so many brothers and sisters, she is the type who loves learning independently and spontaneously. "I will pick you up later, and that's it."

She didn't give her a chance to refute.

For the Chinese New Year, write a paper at home?

This reminded Jiang Mutang of his childhood. During the winter and summer vacations, he would learn taekwondo with Jiang Sesse. He persisted for many years. Jiang Shiyi and his wife were busy. Sometimes after the tutoring class, Jiang Sesse would usually come to his house for dinner.

Usually, after a child finishes his meal, he either goes to play or watch cartoons, but she goes to read books.

It makes Jiang Mutang seem particularly ignorant.

Thinking of what happened when he was a child, Jiang Mutang laughed softly, but Xi Chen asked, "Your third uncle is the one with the highest education among all your uncles?"

Jiang Mutang nodded, "Do you know him too?"

"I don't know, but grandpa often mentions it."

Mr. Xi prefers people with high education. Looking at the past, it is rare for even college students to be around him, not to mention undergraduates, but even junior college students. The Jiang family also has a doctorate. It is said that his wife has a high education and her daughter is very successful.

When he was free, he always liked to say a few words. Over time, even if he had never seen him, Xi Chen had a deep impression of this family.

"They have dinner tonight, all of them are acquaintances, and everyone is good, so you don't have any pressure or burden." Jiang Mutang smiled, "By the way, the plum wine you drank at my house yesterday said it tastes good. If you want to drink it, we will go to the Huo family to get some later."

"No."

"It's okay. I'm going to pick Sesse up anyway, and I have to go to Hexi. It's basically the way. I'll call my uncle and ask him to prepare the things in advance."

Xi Chen is an elder in terms of age, so he rarely stays in the capital. Tang Wan has long told Jiang Mutang to serve him well. Everyone else is so familiar with him, there is no need to take care of him too much, so he must take good care of him.

...

Hexi Huo Family

Huo Tinglan had just returned from the martial arts training ground and was sweating all over and had not taken a shower. His father had somehow recently, but suddenly started to train him like he was desperate, saying that he was too weak.

To embarrass him.

Huo Tinglan was inexplicably surprised. He had never lost anyone to him when he grew up so old? Even if he joined the army and said something unreasonable, he was still the leader among his peers. Why did he suddenly say that he was embarrassed?

Anyway, if you ask a few more questions, someone just looks at him, and his eyes are:

Do you not know if you are embarrassed?

What can you do if your dad wants to mess with you?

As soon as he finished exercising, he saw a missed call from Jiang Mutang on his phone. He called back, "Hey, Mutang?"

"Do you still have plum wine?"

"Yes." There are not many people in the Huo family who are good at drinking, so they don't consume much of the alcohol.

"Then I'll get some later."

"Who do you want to give to?" Huo Tinglan knew that Jiang Mutang was not good at drinking. He was choked by plum wine when he was a child. Since then, he has rarely touched wine.

"Hospital uncle."

“That’s not.”

“…”

Xi Chen was next to Jiang Mutang, and heard the conversation between the two clearly. Seeing that he hung up the phone, he asked again, "Didn't he join the army? Why is he still so naive and immature?"

Jiang Mutang coughed softly, and he couldn't tell him that his uncle was still jealous of the two fighting together when they were young.

**

Although Huo Tinglan clearly refused, Jiang Mutang drove straight to the Huo family after taking Xi Chen and his brother out.

He knew Huo Tinglan's temperament very well. Although he said he had no alcohol, he would definitely prepare the drink in advance. He was probably just showing off his words and would not be so naive.

From Kwun Tong Villa, heading west, the tall buildings disappeared from view and replaced by mountains.

"The environment here is pretty good." Xi Chen turned his head and looked out the window.

The snow top has not melted, the sky is full of vast blue, the clouds are few and the wind is clear, and the warm sun is slanting west, and another layer of rose gold powder is sprinkled in the snow forests among the mountains.

"Well, my uncle's house is ahead. Do you still remember?"

Xi Chen came when he was a child, but now he has no impression of it. The only remaining memory is probably that their yard is not like other people planting flowers and plants, but there are some wooden stakes.

The little brother of the Jiang family, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was lowering his head to play with his cell phone, and he was about to win the game.

As a result, the car had arrived at the door of Huo's house. Seeing that he was still focused, Jiang Mutang was unwilling to get off the car, so he raised his hand and snatched his cell phone, "Get off."

"Brother--" Someone immediately got furious, "It's the last point, give it to me quickly."

"Get into the house and play." Jiang Mutang was a little helpless with this younger brother.

He is not like his parents, nor like other uncles. He is very lively. He was ignorant when he was a child. He even asked his father about this:

"Is my brother really your biological child?"

Jiang Jinshang said bluntly: "You were more lively than him when you were a child."

“…”

The three of them entered the house, but it was unexpected that except for a few Huo family members who were chatting, they did not see the rest of them.

"Where have people gone?" Jiang Mutang frowned, "Auntie is not at home?"

"My wife and her wife are not at home." The Huo family smiled and talked to Jiang Mutang, but their eyes kept looking at Xi Chen who entered the house with him and looked at him.

I have heard that the fifth master’s family is entertaining guests recently, and it is probably the one in front of me.

I heard that I had fought with their young master when I was a child, but he looked like this...

Noble and restrained, untainted, and elegant in every move.

The orchid and the jade tree are elegant and charming.

No matter how you look, you don’t look like someone who can fight or roll mud.

"I'm not at home?" Jiang Mutang said he would come and get some wine. Should my uncle really hide?

When I was a child, I was so jealous? So stingy?

"I went to the cellar to get wine." The Huo family said bluntly.

"Then I'll go and have a look." Jiang Mutang looked at Xi Chen, "The cellar is a little dark and cold. Uncle Master, just wait here."

Jiang Mutang caught a glimpse of his younger brother who was still focusing on mobile games, kicked him up, signaling him to take care of Xi Chen, and turned around and walked to the side.

Xi Chen came here today, not empty-handed, but also brought some gifts.

He thought that Huo Qinqi or Shen Shuci was at home and came to the door during the Chinese New Year, but he was always inconvenient to go empty-handed. He never thought that he had never met a master.

"Mr. Xi, have some tea." The Huo family had brewed tea for him and had already started to look for his own young master and lady. After all, it was not good to leave the guests here.

"Thank you." Xi Chen thanked and took the tea with both hands.

The Huo family noticed that his hands were far from his own image. They could see many scars of varying depth and clearness. If you want to eat traditional crafts, you have to endure hardships.

I had a graceful and elegant face, but my hand was so "destroyed" like this, and it was inevitable that I felt a pity.

Xi Chen sat in the living room for a while, looking at the people around him, and was still focusing on watching mobile games, so he wanted to go out for a walk, and vaguely remembered the Huo family's backyard...

There are dogs, horses, and a clump of green plum trees.

"Can I go to the backyard to have a look?" Xi Chen asked.

"Of course." There was no secret in the backyard, so the Huo family naturally agreed.

When the little brother of the Jiang family heard that the uncle was going to the backyard, he hurriedly said, "Uncle Master, wait for me for two minutes. I have two minutes left in this game and it will be over soon. I will accompany you."

"No, you can play, I'll just go out for a walk."

He had been to the capital for two days and went to the Fu family. It was too cold in the capital. Suddenly, he came over and was always a little uncomfortable, so he stayed in Kwun Tong Villa for the rest of his time and never went out much.

Xi Chen stood up and walked towards the backyard under the leadership of the Huo family.

The little brother of the Jiang family frowned, "Uncle Master, don't worry, wait for me for two minutes."

...

A little dick here was whispering. At this time, Jiang Mutang and Huo Tinglan had already come out of the cellar, but they heard that Xi Chen had arrived.

Huo Tinglan had just finished moving the wine and rubbed a little dust on his body and said he wanted to clean it.

"Do you need this? Uncle Master is not an outsider. Besides, I think your clothes look pretty clean."

“A little dirty.”

Huo Tinglan selfishly regards Xi Chen as his opponent. After many years of meeting, he definitely cannot lose in terms of momentum. He then changed into clean and refreshing clothes, washed his face, and looked in the mirror for a long time.

This made Jiang Mutang tease: "Are you going to go on a blind date? It's so particular?"

"Get out!" Huo Tinglan said and pretended to kick him.

Huo Tinglan made a good preparation to enter the living room, and even cleared his throat, but someone was not there at all.
