I am the strongest sheriff on the surface

Chapter 407 The Mysterious Old Couple

While Xiao Cheng was thinking, Zhang Shunian opened a bottle of white wine he had brought and shouted to open the table, then poured a full glass for everyone on the table, except of course Xiao Nannan.

At this moment, she had already killed four sweet and sour pork ribs, and she kept boasting about how delicious they were, and she was moving towards the fifth one.

Zhang Shunian raised his wine glass, glared at Xiao Cheng and said, "How do you drink this wine?"

"How do you drink and how do I drink!"

Xiao Cheng stared back without showing any weakness.

"Do you two still want to drink?"

Both of them were taken aback at the same time, then turned their heads to look at Zhang Yujin who had made a sound, and immediately wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost.

"Hehe..." Zhang Yujin chuckled and raised his glass: "You can drink whatever I want today!"

After speaking, he raised his neck and downed half a glass, then raised his wine glass to everyone.

Xiao Cheng was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhang Shunian, then at Da Xiong, and found that neither of them had any strange expressions, so he stopped thinking about it, raised his glass and drank half of it.

After that, everyone ate, drank and chatted casually, all talking about some parents' gossip.

Am I thinking too much?
Today is just like Aunt Zhang said, but everyone can't get together?
Ever since Zhang Yujin seemed to be a little tired when he was in Zhengxin Martial Arts, and then to the strange behavior of the two elders recently, although Xiao Cheng didn't say anything, he was always worried.

Seeing that the old couple can eat and drink today, and they seem to be in a good mood, Xiao Cheng slowly let go of his hanging heart.

At this time, Zhang Shunian raised his wine glass and said to Xiao Cheng, "Come on, let me have a drink!"

Xiao Cheng smiled and raised his wine glass to touch Zhang Shunian, and then the two drank the little white wine left in the glass in one gulp.

"Xiao Cheng, I have something to tell you..."

Zhang Shunian wiped his mouth, and said casually while picking up vegetables.

Here it comes...Xiao Cheng's heart moved, he put down his wine glass and listened attentively.

"It's like this. Tomorrow, I will accompany Aunt Zhang to her natal home. It will take at least three days or at most five days. I will put Nan Nan here with you first!"

That's it?

Xiao Cheng always thought that the old couple had some serious matter, and they had been arguing for a long time just to entrust him to take care of Nannan...

What a big deal!
He immediately agreed.

"En." Zhang Shunian nodded and didn't say anything more, but Xiao Cheng felt that for a moment, the old man's expression was a little sad.

Maybe it's my own illusion... Xiao Cheng comforted himself like this.

After a while, the food and drink ran out, and Big Bear took over the task of cleaning the battlefield by himself, not letting anyone touch it.

Everyone was also happy to relax, and knowing that Big Bear would not care, Zhang Shunian pulled Xiao Cheng to chat about Go, while Zhang Yujin and Nan Nan sat on the side of the sofa and talked.

Why is there something wrong with Aunt Zhang today... Xiao Cheng ran the train with his mouth full to deal with Zhang Shunian, and at the same time peeked in another direction.

He found that Zhang Yujin had been talking to Nan Nan, and he seemed to talk a lot.

Too many to mention!
After thinking about it, he curiously let go of his listening.

"Nannan, grandpa and grandma are not here these days, you have to listen to your father!"

"Well, I know grandma."

"Eat and sleep on time!"

"Good grandma."

"And no picky eaters!"

"I know!"

"When it's cold, remember to put on more clothes. Your father is a magistrate, and sometimes he's too busy to take care of it!"

"Don't worry grandma, you and grandpa will be back soon!"

"Yes……"

"..."

Xiao Cheng withdrew his hearing, his brows gradually wrinkled together.

Aunt Zhang's words are not quite right... He looked at Uncle Zhang suspiciously, and found that the old man was also looking at him secretly, and even averted his eyes.

No... Xiao Cheng asked seriously: "Uncle Zhang, is there something wrong between you and Aunt Zhang? Maybe I can help you if you tell me!"

"It's okay, what can we do!"

Zhang Shunian hurriedly replied: "Just to accompany Yujin back to his mother's house to do some errands. Nan Nanma is going to elementary school. I don't want her to delay her studies, and it's not convenient to take a child with her on the road."

This is true... Hearing what Zhang Shunian said was reasonable, Xiao Cheng stopped asking.

"Let's leave early tomorrow morning. Let Nannan stay with you tonight. Nannan has the key to the house. If you need to get Nannan's clothes or something, you can go downstairs to get them. Don't worry about taboos."

Zhang Shunian continued: "As I said just now, the shortest is three days, and the longest is five days. We will definitely come back a year ago, and we will celebrate the Spring Festival together."

Xiao Cheng counted the days in his mind, and there were still seven days before the Spring Festival. Why did Mr. Zhang and the others come back, so he nodded to express his understanding.

Zhang Shunian nodded, pondered for a while, he greeted Zhang Yujin, and gave Nannan a few words, and the old couple went downstairs together.

The room suddenly fell silent.

Big Bear was still struggling with the pots and pans in the kitchen, Xiao Cheng and Nan Nan stared wide-eyed, not knowing what to do.

Seeing that it was still early, Xiao Cheng simply turned on the TV and tuned to the animation channel, which made Nannan cheer.

Xiao Cheng looked at the busy cartoon characters on TV, and secretly lost his mind.

He always felt that there was something wrong with Uncle Zhang and his elders today, but he couldn't figure it out.

Maybe it's because I think too much, there's nothing wrong with it!

Xiao Cheng shook his head, and complained about the cartoons Nan Nan watched, which made Nan Nan's boss unhappy, and shouted for Xiao Cheng to shut up and go away.

But Xiao Cheng never got tired of it, he babbled endlessly, the angry grandma directly turned off the TV, and went into Xiao Cheng's room sullenly.

"Hey..." Xiao Cheng stepped on his heels: "Nannan, don't just get under the covers, go wash up before going to bed!"

Nan Nan glared at him, slowly climbed out of bed, pouted and went into the bathroom.

Not long after, Nan Nan came back with water dripping on his face, Xiao Cheng smiled, took a towel and gently wiped Nan Nan's face.

"Nannan, is there something special about your grandparents that won't take you with them?"

After thinking about it, Xiao Cheng still didn't give up, and decided to talk to Xiao Nannan: "I guess they must be going on a trip, and they didn't take you with them!"

"Ha ha……"

The corner of Nannan's mouth curled up: "Forget it, I thought everyone was as naive as you. Grandpa and grandma didn't tell me what they were going to do, so don't stay here endlessly!"

Are kids nowadays so easy to cheat?
You still call me naive?
Really... Xiao Cheng stopped talking, let Nan Nan lie down, and then he got into the bed from the other side.

"Dad, tell me a story, or I won't be able to sleep!"

Come on!

My buddies already knew that there must be this repertoire... Xiao Cheng thought for a while, then opened his mouth and said, "Once upon a time..."

I guess I was tired today, after talking for less than 5 minutes, Xiao Nannan fell asleep with a smile on his face.

Xiao Cheng stopped talking, helped Nan Nan tuck the quilt, and lay down himself.

As soon as he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with the images of tonight. Xiao Cheng's heart was in a mess, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, and he didn't close his eyes until the sky was getting dark.

The next day Xiao Cheng overslept, and it was Nan Nan who woke him up.

Looking at the time, it seemed that he was going to be late for school, Xiao Cheng was very busy, but fortunately, Da Xiong had already got up early and prepared breakfast, which prevented Nan Nan from going to school hungry.

Looks like I'm going to set an alarm clock... Xiao Cheng, with a steamed bun in his mouth, ran downstairs with Nan Nanfei in his arms. When he reached the fifth floor, he opened the door and took a look, only to find that the building was empty. .

This old couple is really early enough!
No longer thinking about it, Xiao Cheng turned Nan Nan in his arms upside down, and quickened his pace...
