Lin Daiyu in modern times

"Hurry up and take care of your grandma and let Daiyu rest." Xu's father looked at his son seriously.

Xu Fan smiled helplessly: "Okay, Dad. You and Mom should go wash up quickly. Also, Happy New Year."

Seeing that he had a good attitude, Xu's father coughed lightly, and walked out with his wife's shoulders in his arms.Mrs. Xu also said to Daiyu: "Good boy, go and have a rest. Grandma will leave it to your elder brother Xu Fan."

Xu Fan looked at Daiyu pitifully, it was too cruel to let him stay here alone.Grandma is also asleep, and he can't read for half a day like Daiyu.Fortunately, Daiyu just nodded and left without actually receiving his gaze.When Xu's father and Mrs. Xu left, Daiyu walked up to Xu Fan and sat down, and said, "Brother Xu Fan, you still have work to do? Grandma is here, just let me take care of it. Anyway, I still have work to do." You need to read. You just go to work."

Xu Fan sighed, and said, "It's still my good Daiyu who loves my brother. But I have nothing to do, it's just a bit boring to be alone."

Daiyu smiled when she heard him act like a spoiled child, and said, "Uncle and auntie just got up and haven't eaten. What I cook is not very tasty, why don't brother Xu Fan cook?"

After hearing this, Xu Fan had no choice but to say: "That's fine. You patronized grandma in the morning and didn't eat too much. Let's eat some together later."

So, Xu Fan went to the kitchen, and Daiyu was still reading in her grandma's room.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was snowing again, and the Xu family did not go out.Mrs. Xu believes in Buddhism, so she eats vegetarian food in the morning.And because grandma also lives in Xu's house now, she didn't go to other places when she originally returned to her mother's house in the second year of junior high school.Only in the third and fourth day of junior high school did relatives walk around with each other.In addition to these relatives in the Xu family, Mrs. Xu took Xu Fan and Daiyu to meet other relatives. Don't dare to underestimate her.

Only the Zhang family, after the new year, Mrs. Xu just sent people to deliver gifts, she didn't walk with them, and the Zhang family didn't dare to be cheeky.Mrs. Xu is a kind person. In the past, for the sake of her sister-in-law and the third wife, even if she knew that the daughter of the Zhang family had some thoughts about her son, she would still interact with them.Just because she knew about Daiyu, Mrs. Xu deliberately ignored them.

Since the Xu family's father married his wife, she has been in charge of the family's human relations.

But I heard the third brother mention it by chance, and Xu's father also went home to ask his wife.Mrs. Xu just said: "Brother Zhuo, what do you think they said about Daiyu? Not to mention that Daiyu is the adopted daughter of Mr. Lin, she is still my apprentice. No matter what happens to Daiyu and Xiaofan in the future, this identity is just a show. Here. If they don’t give me Daiyu face, they don’t give me face. I don’t embarrass them, it’s already for the sake of relatives, but it’s impossible for me to make friends with them .”

Xu's father seldom interfered in these matters. After hearing his wife's spoiled words, Xu's father only thought she was cute and said, "Look at you, I didn't say anything, but I asked you to make such a call." Come on. Since they are the ones who made the mistake first, then I will listen to you. Stop dealing with them in the future."

Only then did Mrs. Xu smile with satisfaction, and said: "That child Daiyu is so pitiful. Don't look at her cute and playful, she hides her thoughts in her heart. The same is true for Xiaofan, old men don't know girls' thoughts. It is necessary I, a female elder, need to take care of her more. I don’t care, from now on, if anyone disrespects Daiyu again, he will hit me in the face. Brother Zhuo, you have to protect us and vent your anger on us mothers!"

"Is this the two of you?" Xu Zhuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.His wife is usually very gentle and has a good temper, but in front of him, she still has a bit of cuteness in her temper.

"Of course it is. If Daiyu and Xiaofan can really be a couple, that would be the best. If not, I also consider her a girl. Let's not say far, just on the first day of the new year, this child's sincerity and filial piety , you can also see it in the bottom of your eyes. The daughter is mother's caring little padded jacket, the two of us don't have a daughter, why don't I recognize one?"

"You, you can't go out and say this. If you recognize her as a daughter, our son will not be in a hurry with you." Thinking that since Daiyu came to Xu's house, his wife has been angry and angry many times.Because of her grandmother's illness, she was once depressed, but now she is much more alive, which is really a good thing.He sighed in his heart, grandma is indeed very old, and any accidents are unpredictable.With Daiyu accompanying his wife, she would feel better if something really happened in the future.

Thinking about it this way, it makes sense for his wife to let her protect Daiyu.

Daiyu still doesn't know the conversation between the Xu family and his wife.He just went out with the Xu family's parents to meet guests every day, and met all the relatives and friends of the Xu family.I also felt Mrs. Xu's sincerity towards me.When she was young, her mother passed away, and the sporadic motherly love she experienced in Aunt Xue later disappeared with the dispute between Mu Shiqian and Jinyu.Now, Mrs. Xu's kindness to her is not to seek her anything. She is alone, has no relatives, no reasons, and is penniless. Mrs. Xu can still treat her like this, which makes her really think of Mrs. Xu as a mother in her heart. .

The Xu family father and son also saw this coming and going.Both of them are happy to see the result - among other things, if Daiyu becomes Xu's daughter-in-law in the future, there is absolutely no need to worry about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.But the mother-child relationship between Mrs. Xu and Xu Fan...may be a bit problematic.Mrs. Xu is so biased now that she no longer treats him as her own.

And when Daiyu asked Xu Fan to send favors, she gave gifts to her first teachers in modern times—the tutors at that time.There are a few classmates who gave some New Year's goods to their homes.

On the eighth day of the eighth day, the partner of Xu's family in the countryside sent another whole leaf of processed wild pork.

It turned out that three big wild boars fell into the trap early this morning, and the man caught them.There were so many of them, two of them were left behind, and the other was sent to the Xu family.There are only four people in the Xu family, how can they eat a whole leaf of wild boar?After thanking the person who sent the pork, he divided the wild pork into three parts and sent it to the homes of the eldest and third brothers of the Xu family.There was still a lot left for her. Mrs. Xu found a chef who made wild boar meat. After cooking, she packed it in a food box and took the gift she had prepared a long time ago to the orphanage.

Only then did Daiyu know that Zhuangzi of the Xu family would send a lot of grain every year.The Xu family has a small population, and the surplus is given to these orphanages.But Mrs. Xu only visits the orphanage at the beginning of each year.This year happened to be Daiyu, so she took Daiyu out together.There is also Xu Fan, who used to go with him occasionally, but this year Daiyu will go with him, so he will definitely go.

Mrs. Xu obviously came here often, and the children in the orphanage knew her.As soon as she appeared, the children gathered around, and Mrs. Xu distributed the candies she had prepared to these children.Daiyu was right next to Mrs. Xu, and she also asked the children to gather together. Seeing the smiling faces of these children, Daiyu's heart moved slightly.

"Auntie, this sister is so beautiful."

"Auntie, I drew a picture for Auntie."

"Auntie, auntie, the dean praised my handwriting and gave me a little red flower."

……

Over there, Xu Fan has asked the driver to help the volunteers of the orphanage move all the things he brought.

Mrs. Xu talked to Daiyu and the children, and Xu Fan went to talk to the dean.First, ask about the situation of the orphanage and whether you need help.The second is to hand over the donation to the dean.

After lunch, the children got to know Daiyu well.Obviously, the children like this young lady who is as beautiful as a fairy and as kind as Mrs. Xu.Then he pestered Daiyu to sing for them.Daiyu hadn't even taken a music class in modern times, and she was busy studying, so she didn't have much chance to get in touch with modern ballads.

Looking at the expectant faces of the children, how could Daiyu have the heart to refuse?Daiyu thought about it for a while, but she remembered a piece of music hummed by the servants of the Lin family. It was Qu Yuan's "Mountain Ghost".Because it was so pleasant to the ear, Daiyu, who had finished reading "Li Sao" and "Chu Ci" early, remembered it.Daiyu blushed and said, "I seldom sing. If I can't sing well, don't laugh at me."

The children surrounded Daiyu, each obediently expressing that they did not know how to do it.They didn't want to listen to songs, they wanted to talk more with their sister.

Daiyu cleared her throat and began to sing.

... If someone is like a mountain...

...the rest of the place is gloomy and the sky is not visible...

Daiyu didn't sing in Mandarin either, she used the Mandarin at that time mixed with Su Bai.She originally had a voice like a yellow warbler, and even though the children in the orphanage didn't understand the content, they were immersed in Daiyu's voice.Some of them were older, and they were stunned for a while.The singing is really nice, and it is a singing method that everyone has never heard before.Those soft and waxy words sang from her mouth, with [-]% emotion.

On the way to the hall, Xu Fan ran into Mu Xiuming, and the two came together.Just happened to hear Daiyu singing outside the hall.Mu Xiuming was surprised and said: "This is not Suzhou dialect." He turned to look at Xu Fan, but he was looking at the hall through the glass window, and he was already insane.Following his gaze, Mu Xiuming saw the winter sun falling on the girl singing in the house through the window.

The pink long skirt reflects people like delicate flowers.

Children, big and small, surrounded her in the center.She sang, and there was a soft light in her eyes.

These people... Even if they are not obsessed with her singing voice, they are also fascinated by her appearance.

This girl...how come she looks more and more beautiful.It's really itchy.
