The cold-faced chief loves the little maid

In the afternoon, the weather changed suddenly. The sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly, but suddenly there was a strong wind and it began to rain. Du Huayue shook the water off the umbrella and muttered: "This is the weather!"

Du Xiaoxian stood by the door, said with a smile: "Brother Ayue, today is the [-]th year, you are not allowed to say that word, if Second Aunt hears it, she will definitely scold you."

Du Huayue also laughed: "That's right, Grandma is old-fashioned, and I don't want to hear unlucky words during the New Year."

Du Xiaoxian asked: "I entrusted you to send the money and clothes to Second Aunt, has she received it?"

"She likes the clothes very much. She said she wanted me to thank you for the money." Du Huayue paused for a moment and said, "Grandma wants me to return it to you, saying that you need money in many places outside, so what if you give it all to her?" ? I want you to keep it by yourself, don't worry about her."

Du Xiaoxian was a little disappointed, "She didn't ask for money."

"Grandmother also said," Du Huayue hesitated, "You have to be careful when you go out alone, make money safely, don't be jealous that others come with money quickly, there are many bad people outside, you must know how to distinguish. She also said that girls are the most important thing It's clean and self-care! I want you to take care of your health!"

Du Xiaoxian frowned slightly: "Second Aunt is afraid of me..."

"Of course grandma believes that you are a good girl, but the money you gave is too much," Du Huayue said, "every time you give it is an integer. Grandma has never seen so much money in her life. She must be scared. I You said it was wrong at the beginning, and you insisted that I remit it, but now you have to return it?

Du Xiaoxian also knew something was wrong, she had only been doing this for a long time, how could she send such a large amount of money back, it was Gu Nianbin who insisted on giving it, saying that she was grateful to her second aunt for taking care of her all these years, as it should be.She was moved by what he said, so she agreed.Unexpectedly, it was self-defeating.

Du Huayue saw that Du Xiaoxian didn't speak for a long time, and comforted her: "It's okay, grandma didn't know you found a rich man, she was just worried, I told her, I will watch over it, nothing will happen to you."

Du Xiaoxian nodded, feeling a little regretful in her heart, earning money to honor her second aunt was her long-cherished wish since she was a child, she didn't expect it to turn out like this, but at least the clothes were collected, so it was her wish.

The two chatted for a while, and A Ling came over to order dinner.Du Xiaoxian didn't eat anything at noon, and was busy talking to her young master, because it was New Year's Eve, and she always felt that eating was different from usual, as if it was very novel.Gu Nianbin didn't feed her as usual, he wanted to leave, but he couldn't bear it, and he got tired of her for a while from time to time.

After a meal, the dishes on the table didn't move much, and they didn't dare to drink too much wine, but both of them seemed a little drunk, because they stared at the love in each other's eyes. .The two sat on the sofa and snuggled together for a long time before Gu Nianbin got up and left.

So at this time, Du Xiaoxian was really a little hungry, so he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.Du Huayue is a person who is happy when he has meat. He picked up a piece of preserved vegetables and meat, and stuffed his mouth full of oil.

The rain outside had stopped a long time ago, but it was snowing heavily again. Because of the Chinese New Year, the lights in the courtyard were turned on, and the snowflakes were falling under the lights, as fine as countless small moths swarming the flames.

"Auspicious snow heralds a good year," Du Xiaoxian said happily, "It looks like next year will be a good one again!"

Du Huayue touched A Ling with a cup, and said, "What does it have to do with you? Do you want to go back and work on your three acres of land?"

Du Xiaoxian withdrew his smile, lowered his eyes, and said, "I'm not going back."

"That's right," Du Huayue said, "I don't want to go back either. How wonderful this city is. When I become famous, I'll take my grandma out to enjoy the blessings!"

A Ling remembered that Du Xiaoxian still had a father, so she said: "Xiaoxian, when the time comes, you bring your father out too, the young master will definitely treat him well."

Du Xiaoxian didn't speak, but Du Huayue muttered in a muffled voice: "Why did you pick him up?"

A Ling was puzzled, but seeing that their expressions were not right, she couldn't ask any more.

But Du Huayue used wine to vent his depression, and poured out: "Her father is not a good person at all. Every time he came back after drinking outside, he beat Xiaoxian, but when he grew up, he beat Xiaoxian less. But as soon as he came back, he needed money. Xiaoxian worked so hard to save some money and gave it all to him. How would she live if she had nothing to eat and clothes? Later, she went too far and sold Xiaoxian. For the old man in the neighboring village, Xiaoxian had no choice but to run out."

"Brother Ayue, stop talking, it's all over." Du Xiaoxian laughed instead: "Don't you think I'm fine now?"

"Now?" Du Huayue looked around at the furnishings in the room, and said lightly, "I hope." In his heart, he still felt that Du Xiaoxian and Gu Nianbin were not suitable, such a magnificent house was not something people like them should deserve. place to stay.

A Ling felt that the atmosphere was not right, so she quickly changed the subject: "With such heavy snow, can fireworks be set off at night? Xiaoxian has been looking forward to this for a long time."

"It's more fun to set off fireworks in the snow." Du Huayue said: "Bury the firecrackers in the snow, and when you light them up, the snow foam will fly all over the place. That's exciting!"

A Ling laughed: "Then you're going to be disappointed, the young master didn't buy all the fireworks with loud explosions that are dangerous, look over there." She pointed to a pile of colorful fireworks by the door of the hall and said: " They are all colorful flowers, the young master picked them himself, they must be very beautiful."

"That's boring." Du Huayue had just returned from the army. He was only in his early twenties, and he was still a child at heart. He looked at the pile of fireworks and shook his head.

"Young master is afraid of scaring Xiaoxian." A Ling knew that he had always had some prejudice against Gu Nianbin, so she said, "Young master will not let Xiaoxian touch anything that is even the slightest bit dangerous."

Du Huayue also understood the meaning of A Ling's words, "I know your young master likes her and treats her well, but,"

"Come on, I'll cut some fruit for you to eat." A Ling interrupted him, and left with a smile.

Du Xiaoxian glanced at Du Huayue: "Brother Ayue, I know that you and Second Aunt are worried about me, but the young master is really a good person and treats me well. He said, don't worry when I get married when I reach the age!"

"There are still two more years." Du Huayue poured cold water on her: "Let's talk about getting married."

For the New Year's Eve, Du Xiaoxian didn't want to discuss this kind of issue with him anymore, so he proposed to set off fireworks. Du Huayue said: "Don't you want to wait for your brother Gu to come back?" After a pause, he said: "What brother, I see You can call him uncle more than enough!"

"Brother Ayue!" Du Xiaoxian made a rare high-profile statement.

But Du Huayue burst out laughing, the Du Xiaoxian now is really different from before, he used to always stand in front of him timidly with his head down, no matter how much he teased him, he didn't make a sound, and when he was in a hurry, he called his aunt, and aunt rushed over Come over and beat him: "Die, you idiot, why keep teasing her!"

He just teased her, but never bullied her. When other children bullied her, he was the one who drove those annoying children away.Now, she talks a lot, smiles a lot, doesn't bow her head all the time, and even dares to raise her voice to call him. The timid and thin little girl who used to hide behind him has grown up.Perhaps, there is also the contribution of that Mr. Gu, but he is always a little uneasy, he has no idea how long the son's favor can last, only this silly girl believes it.

"Let's go, I'll show you the fireworks." Du Huayue walked to the wall and picked up some fireworks for her to hold. The two were walking outside when A Ling called from behind: "Let's set it off now? Let's eat some fruit first." !"

Du Xiaoxian hugged those fireworks, she couldn't wait, it was the first time, she set off fireworks for the first time on New Year's Eve, she wished everyone could watch, she shook her head at A Ling: "I'll eat later, I'm full!"

"Wait, it's cold outside, I'll go up and get you a coat, otherwise the young master will definitely scold me when he comes back and sees you wearing so little outside."

"He won't, I told him, you are not allowed to swear during the Chinese New Year! And I am not cold." Du Xiaoxian said with a smile: "Sister A Ling, you also come to watch the fireworks!"

A Ling had nothing to do with her, she put down the fruit plate and ran upstairs to get her clothes, if Du Xiaoxian really caught a cold, Gu Nianbin didn't care what the New Year was or not, a scolding meal would be indispensable.

When she got off her clothes, she saw Du Xiaoxian squatting on the ground lighting fireworks, while Du Huayue stood aside watching, she hurried over, "Oh, let your Brother A Yue light it, what if it blows up? "

Du Huayue laughed: "Didn't you say that these fireworks are not dangerous? How could they blow up? She didn't let them go, so let her go."

Du Xiaoxian lit the fuse, jumped up from the ground, and ran over quickly. When she stood still, colorful fireworks spewed out from the cannon barrel, like gold and silver rain, and flashed purple, red, blue and green lights, shining all around. sharp.Extremely Beautiful!
Watching fireworks up close for the first time, Du Xiaoxian was so happy that he jumped up like a child, wishing that Gu Nianbin was right in front of him, and wished to share such a happy time with him.

Because it was raining and snowing, Gu Nianbin arrived at the ancestral house in the evening. From a distance, he saw a long string of red lanterns hanging in front of the door, reflecting the old-fashioned eaves, giving it a Chinese New Year atmosphere.There are so many people here, I think it should be lively.

He drove in, but no one came out to greet him. Gu Nianbin thought maybe he didn't hear the movement of his car, so he didn't know he was coming.Parking the car under the tree, he strode into the door, but there was no one in the hall.

This is strange, where are the people who celebrate the Chinese New Year?He raised his voice and was about to shout, when the bead curtain rang, a person came out from the door on the east side, standing tall and smiling, looking at him: "Brother Nian Bin, you are back!"

Gu Nianbin froze there immediately, unable to move, his heart seemed to be surging, and the past swept over in an instant, how could it be her?Could it be her?Waiting hard, missing her hard, and finally removed her from my heart, but she appeared instead, and appeared so suddenly!
"What? You don't recognize me?" Xia Xiaowan slowly walked towards him.
