With the sound of gongs and drums and the sound of firecrackers, the New Year, full of country flavor, is counting the days approaching in such a lively atmosphere.On the day of the New Year's Eve, according to the rules, it is necessary to worship the ancestors and worship the gods. Tang Xiaoran's life in S City is so chic, but it is more uncomfortable than the life in this ancestral house.

There are a lot of rules here, especially unfriendly to girls, although there are domestic servants and neighbors to help her from previous years to now, which saved her a lot of unnecessary work.

But according to her lazy nature, no matter what the big festival is, she can't wait to find her when she has nothing to do.

It was five o'clock that day and was awakened by the sound of firecrackers downstairs. Tang Xiaoran struggled for a while under the warm quilt, and reluctantly got up and got dressed.

Walking out of the door and standing in the corridor on the second floor, the first thing in sight is the green mountains in the distance. A sense of unreality.

She looked at the patio downstairs, and saw that Tang Xiaoyu was already discussing with Dad Tang about what to bring up the mountain.Sacrificial offerings have also been set up on the square wooden table for offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God, chickens, ducks, rice wine, apples, oranges, etc. have been placed beautifully.

...The strange thing is that Tang's father has an extra beautiful face beside him.

Her first reaction was which neighbor, or the person Zhao Boxin invited to help.

But the next second automatically overturned this idea.

From the distance between the two of them, as well as the expressions that appeared naturally when they talked, she smelled something special.

Sensing her gaze, Tang Xiaoyu took the time to glance up while speaking, and winked at her.

When it was time to worship the ancestors in the temple, Father Tang and Uncle Zhao gave instructions to take the woman out, and the people who invited them hurriedly picked up the things for ancestor worship to follow.

Tang Xiaoran walked to the first floor after washing up, walked to the dining table, and took a bowl of light tomato and egg noodles from Uncle Zhao, without rushing to get chopsticks.

When Tang Xiaoyu came back years ago, he went out with a bunch of friends and had a new look. His hairstyle was even more unruly than before, dyed a light maroon.

He was only wearing a shirt and a snow-white knitted sweater over it. Although the trousers he wore didn't have any big holes, there were still a few strands of the former, and the edges of the shiny sneakers rubbed against each other. The fine soil outside the layer.

As if he couldn't feel the cold, he walked a few steps from the courtyard with one hand in his trouser pocket, standing on the edge of the lobby and the courtyard, against the light morning light, he looked like a gentle and jade-like young man.

Tang Xiaoran raised his chin in the direction of the gate, indicating to him what was going on just now.

The boy's expression was obviously a bit unhappy, and the previous gentle illusion disappeared in a second, and his brows were furrowed fiercely, as if everything in this world made him feel uncomfortable.

Turning around the chair beside her, Da Ma sat down firmly, and the impatience in his words revealed:

"Just as you guessed before."

Tang Xiaoran let out a chuckle, leaned over and raised her hands to snort his new hairstyle, and comforted him in his pretendingly fierce eyes:

"With me here, what are you worried about?"

Tang Xiaoyu turned his head away in dissatisfaction, avoided her hand, and said, "Hurry up and eat your breakfast."

Only in those eyes that were exactly the same as hers, the mood was a little calmer.

Tang Xiaoran picked up the chopsticks and stirred, stirring up the thin noodles that were about to become a ball, and eating them in a few strokes while the temperature at the entrance was right.

It wasn't until she had finished her breakfast and heard Tang Xiaoyu say a few words about the woman's background that she saw Tang Xiaozhang coming downstairs.

"Second marriage? She didn't have a child before? Then I think she and Dad are quite suitable——Brother, why did you get up so early? Didn't you arrive at two or three o'clock last night?"

Tang Xiaoyu watched her change the subject disapprovingly, and seeing her so relaxed, the tension in her heart slowly dissipated.

Tang Xiaozhang's sleep was shallow, and the firecrackers were too loud, so he couldn't ignore them even if he wanted to.

Despite trying to fall asleep again, it was obvious that his attempts had failed.

"Can't sleep."

Finding a seat next to the siblings, he answered Tang Xiaoran's question in a flat tone, and turned his head to Uncle Zhao to ask for a light breakfast.

Tang Xiaoran shook his head sympathetically at him. Father Tang's nostalgia for his hometown only tormented a few of them, but this year was better——

"Poor big brother, but I can tell you some good news. This year, someone else can follow Dad. He will definitely not remember us."

"Maybe you won't be found if you secretly follow Brother Gu Heng home in the second year of junior high school~" Tang Xiaoran blinked at him, reminding him with a strong hint.

Tang Xiaozhang: "..."

Why use the word secretly?Isn't it fair and aboveboard?

After thinking about it, he changed the topic a little helplessly:

"Who is the other?"

Tang Xiaoyu said with a serious face, "A woman who may become our stepmother."

Tang Xiaozhang: "..."

He felt like he was missing a lot of things again.

But at the moment, he doesn't care much about his father's love life. Compared with this, he thinks more about how to make Tang's father accept him and Gu Heng.

After noon, I saw the two people who came back from the ancestral temple. Tang Xiaoran used his rebirth skills after a long absence by handing oranges to the new aunt. A little more sincere.

After that, Tang Xiaoyu saw her sitting on a dark wooden chair, with her earphones plugged in, looking like she was wandering away.

When passing by, he asked casually, "What do you think?"

"I'm thinking, life on the third day of the new year is not easy."

Tang Xiaoyu thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what kind of special day it was. Instead, he thought that he had already returned to S City as usual that day, and it was a good day for him to return to the Qingqing Grassland.

So put it aside for the time being.

It wasn't until the third day of the new year, when Tang Xiaoyu visited Xiao's house with Father Tang, that Tang Xiaoyu recalled what his sister said that day.

Looking at the members of the Xiao family in front of him, then at the Zhou family who happened to be guests with them, and then looking back at the uncle who came with him today and his new partner——

What's wrong with this?This is very sad okay!

Under the pressure of his father's gaze, Zhou Haoran had no choice but to move closer to Tang Xiaoran, looked at the fruit plate on the table without words, and asked:

"Eat oranges?"

Tang Xiaoran didn't have time to talk to him, even if he performed a show of eating orange peels in public, he didn't even look at him.

She looked at the girl next to her uncle in disbelief, who was so beautifully dressed that she almost didn't recognize her and didn't dare to recognize her at first.

...Sun Jiali?

All kinds of scenes at school in the past flashed through her mind, why Sun Jiali refused to reveal her partner to her, why she always looked sad that it was difficult to catch up with him, why did she have to treat her when she was drunk last time? Saying that strange question about the Tang family...

Because her mysterious lover is Tang Zhicheng!

Tang Xiaoran looked at her complicatedly, but her friend just smiled at her, and then turned his eyes away.

He didn't care about her scrutiny, but he seemed unwilling to explain his words to her.

But no matter how big the Xiao family's villa is, they are all guests. Most of the time, they can only wander around in the living room, which is about a hundred square meters. It is too difficult to avoid each other.

Especially when they were all greeted by Xiao Wenbo to sit down on the sofa and drink tea.

In order to avoid disputes, Tang Xiaoyu sat in the corner early and gnawed on the sliced ​​cantaloupe from the fruit plate.

His gaze shifted from Zhou Haoran to Tang Xiaoran, and then he looked at his elder brother, thinking of Xiao Shixin who hadn't appeared yet——

I feel like I can watch a once-in-a-century drama today.

Sun Jiali originally planned to sit next to Tang Zhicheng, but the man didn't seem to want her to follow, so she walked straight to the side where the men gathered, said hello to Xiao Wenbo and the others, and then found a seat sat down.

Obviously, this meant letting Sun Jiali rely on herself to have fun.

Maybe it was because of Xiao Shixin's provocative sentence before the Chinese New Year, or maybe it was because she really didn't want to look at her daughter's face anymore. In short, Zhang Linlin no longer wore the same clothes as the servants around her today.

On the contrary, she was dressed brightly, and one could tell her status in this family at a glance.

Especially her attitude when entertaining guests to sit down, anyone with a discerning eye can see the relationship between her and Xiao Wenbo.

Zhou Haoran's mother, as the only genuine wife present, looked a little unhappy when she saw the woman next to the man, who somehow thought of it.

Obviously, it is not easy for the Xiao family to do it for a while when the female relatives gather around a table to chat and gossip like in other families.

Tang Xiaoran's eyes turned from left to right, and after turning around, he didn't have much patience to stay in this strange place, and went to the chessboard room to entertain himself and have some fun.

She was not in a hurry to tell Xiao Shixin that she was here——

After all, looking at the current situation of the Xiao family, she didn't want Sister Xin to look at her and worry about it. She planned to meet him at lunch naturally, and then took Mr. Xiao out for shopping in the afternoon to have fun.

As a result, when she got up, it was as if she had sent some signal.

Jiang Qiushuang brought by Tang's father has been trying to build a good relationship with this junior for the past few days, thinking that if she sees her playing some games, he can just follow her to make up the number.

Seeing them walking towards the chessboard room, Zhang Linlin followed them in order to show her gratitude to the landlord.

Sun Jiali had no one to talk to, so she had to get up and walk over. The gaze of Tang Xiaoran was better than the unfriendly gaze of Aunt Zhou.

Checkerboard interior.

Tang Xiaoran was sitting on a chair by the mahjong table playing with her mobile phone.

When she looked up again, the table was already full of people.

Jiang Qiushuang on the left, Zhang Linlin on the right, and Sun Jiali sat opposite.

All the women who were trying their best to succeed in the position all looked at her.

Tang Xiaoran: "..."

Tang Xiaoran: "???"

Is it too late to put down the phone and say "excuse me" before running?
