Chapter 27 My, Brother Xiaoci,

there was some snow on the road, so the car didn’t drive very fast, and stopped and stopped at the traffic lights. When Qiu Xingci arrived at Xiaocheng’s grandma’s house, it was already past ten in the morning.

The yard of my grandma's house is very clean. There are no flowers planted in the flower ponds on both sides of the road. Instead, some small green rapeseed that can grow in winter are planted.

One glance at it and you are healed by the vitality of green.

The gate inlaid with iron bars was not closed, and Qiu Xingci called directly: "Grandma, I'm here."

He carried his things and walked directly in.

There was steam rising from the chimney, and it was obvious that the timing was a coincidence, just in time to catch up with my grandma and her family making lunch.

The first one to notice him was his little cousin Jiang Shengli. She was watching TV in the living room and looked surprised when she saw Qiu Xingci.

She is not tall, wears a beautiful red strawberry woolen dress, has a round face, and has a small dimple when she smiles.

"Brother Xiaoci, you are here."

Qiu Xingci walked in with a smile and said: "Happy New Year." Jiang Shengli smiled

and stretched out her hand: "Just a blessing is not enough. Congratulations on getting rich. Here is the red envelope. "

We are of the same generation. When you ask me for a red envelope, are you trying to give me a senior rank?" Qiu Xingci smiled teasingly.

Jiang Shengli laughed and said, "You didn't ask for it for me. I asked for it for our baby."

"Baby?" Qiu Xingci looked at her cousin's immature and young face with confusion on her face.

This is not yet old enough, where did the baby come from?

Jiang Shengli pointed to the dog squatting by the door wearing a festive red little dragon dance suit and said, "Let's meet him, this is your little nephew."

Qiu Xingci suddenly realized it, and looked convinced and envious.

"Auntie actually allowed you to keep a dog."

Jiang Shengli looked proud, "I spent a long time, tried every means to request, and worked hard to get the first place in the class, and then I got this reward." "

That's what I should be given. A red envelope for my niece to celebrate." As he spoke, Qiu Xingci dug into his left pocket, found a prepared small red envelope, and handed it to his cousin.

"Take it, it's not much, but you can contribute to my nephew's dog food."

Jiang Shengli took the twenty-dollar red envelope and smiled, and was about to continue talking to Qiu Xing. , at this time the old man behind him came from the side hall near the kitchen, wearing reading glasses and a kind smile on his face.

"When I heard the voice, I felt like Xiao Ci was back."

Jiang Shengli turned around and said, "Grandpa."

Qiu Xingci looked at the old man with more pale hair than the last time we met, with mixed emotions.

Thousands of words were choked in his heart, and finally they merged into a big smile, and he said: "Grandpa, happy New Year, and good luck in the Year of the Dragon!"

In fact, he thought a lot when he came, and drafted it, but when they met, Qiu Xingci became clumsy. .

His blessing was clumsy and he didn't even finish it, but the old man didn't care about the formality at all.

The old man wiped his hands on his apron, smiled happily, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes relaxed a little: "It's good to be here. Your grandma was talking about you just now, saying that it snowed yesterday, and I don't know if the road will be easy to walk today." , I’m afraid you’ll be stuck in a traffic jam.”

They walked to the living room while talking.

"It's okay, there's not much snow on the road, and there's not much traffic jam on my road." Qiu Xingci explained a few words to reassure the old man.

At this time, grandma came over with a plate of fish.

"You're just in time, grandma is about to cook."

"Let me help you, grandma." Qiu Xingci put the gift box he was carrying aside, and before he could speak, he was disgusted by his grandma.

"Tell me about you. You are still studying. You come here as soon as you come. What else do you want to buy?" Grandma sighed and said, "How much money do you students have? If you are so busy spending this money, you might as well save it and eat more." Order some food."

Listening to the old man's concerned words, Qiu Xingci felt a little hesitant. He didn't know what to say, so he just replied awkwardly, "It's okay, I didn't spend much money."

"It's just a little food to satisfy my craving for the New Year. Qiu Xingci took out one of the pastries packed in a gift box and handed it to grandma. He said, " Grandma

, don't you love mung bean cake? This one was bought from a particularly delicious store I met last time. I think you must like it."

Another gift he bought was a box of milk: "Drink more of this every day to supplement calcium."

The smile on the grandmother's face was very kind: "You kid..."

Chat. Looking at the sky, he asked casually: "By the way, why didn't you come with your parents this time? Why did you come alone?"

Qiu Xingci was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

After hesitating, he still pretended to be peaceful, found an excuse, and complained half-truthfully: "Because I miss my grandma so much. If there are too many people together, everyone will talk and talk at every turn, and I can't tell the difference." That's the sentence.

In that case, grandma, you might not be able to take care of me, so I came here by myself.

"You are so old, you still act like a child." Although grandma said some blame. Then, the smile on his face became even brighter, obviously he was flattered by his grandson's words.

Qiu Xingci smiled and helped his grandmother put all the gift boxes in the back hall near the kitchen.

In fact, New Year's gifts are sent back and forth between relatives. Qiu Xingci is not sure how many of these boxes of gifts will be left here in the end, but even if he only leaves one or two boxes, it can be regarded as a sign of his filial piety.

After going to school in other places, he saw less and less the elderly at home. Qiu Xingci really missed everything here.

Although the room he once lived in was filled with other items and occupied most of the traces of his existence, there were still some old books in the corner that he used when he was in school.

Qiu Xingci turned over a few pages and felt nostalgic when he saw his childish and meticulous handwriting.

Whether he was chatting with his grandmother or seeing the room he had lived in before, Qiu Xingci had an indescribable feeling that time flew by so fast.

Qiu Xingci had a delicious lunch, and the fish stewed by grandma was as delicious as ever.

Qiu Xingci's good mood lasted for a long time, until in the afternoon, he saw an unexpected visitor, which broke the calm and caused a ripple in his heart.

Far away, he heard someone calling the door outside the yard.

There have been many people coming to pay New Year's greetings in the past few days. When the two old people heard this, they guessed that a relative was coming and happily greeted them.

Qiu Xingci fell behind his grandparents and walked over to see who was coming.

He found out that it was the grandson of his neighbor's grandmother, carrying two boxes of holiday gifts and visiting the house to pay New Year greetings.

This extremely familiar, handsome young man had a smile on his face and was taller than the last time we met.

"Grandpa Jiang, Grandma Zhou, Happy New Year!"

"I'm here to give you two happy New Year greetings. I wish you two elders good luck and good luck in the Year of the Dragon, good luck and peace."

Grandma Zhou was very happy: "Oh! , it’s Xiaochi, happy year of the dragon.

You are so sweet.”

As she spoke, she dug around and found a big red envelope and stuffed it into it.

After some polite refusals, the young man smiled sweetly and accepted the offer unceremoniously.

This kid grew up here, and he often came here to have a meal when he was in school. He often came to pay New Year greetings. Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Zhou didn't regard him as an outsider, and they were quite happy to meet him.

"Xiaochi, come inside and talk. It's a little cold in the yard.

Come on, there's a heater inside."

The two old people talked and felt that they were very destined.

"What a coincidence. Your brother Xiaoci is here today. You two often play together when you go to school. Now it's just the right time to chat and get together."

"Really? That's great."

His voice was very surprised. Qiu Xingci It sounds fake when I hear it.

Very good?

Both of them are like this, what good can they do if they meet again?

Feeling awkward, Qiu Xingci turned around and went to the living room first.

Looking at the back of his former lover, Chi Chengye smiled and did not say hello immediately.

After entering the door, he took off his coat, carried the gift box and walked to the sofa in the living room, bent down and placed these things in the corner against the wall.

Qiu Xingci wrapped his arms around him, sat upright with a tight body, and pressed the remote control on the side of the sofa.

I accidentally glanced at the man's chest and found that when he bent down to put the gift box, his black sweater made his waist very narrow. It seemed that he had been exercising a lot.

This stinky brother is still pretending to be stinky after 800 years of separation, and he is still dressed like a male model during the New Year greetings.

Is this a New Year greeting or a walk on the catwalk?

The New Year's greetings were so exaggerated and sounded better than what he said, so I lost.

Qiu Xingci gritted his teeth and quickly looked down at his unsatisfactory, slightly bulging belly after eating too much just now. He felt like he had lost again in an instant.

hateful!

If I had known, I would have gone out to read the almanac today.

While he was secretly comparing each other's status, Chi Chengye sat on the side of the sofa and greeted Qiu Xingci.

The voice was gentle and strangely familiar, but it had a colder quality than the voice he was familiar with.

"Long time no see."

These words were full of sighs, but I couldn't tell what the emotion was.

Qiu Xingci was stunned for a moment, feeling that the voice... seemed a bit like the game he often played together recently.

Really very similar.

If it weren't for the fact that these two people's common accounts were different, the most recently used heroes on their accounts would also be different. For a moment, Qiu Xingci suspected that they were the same person.

But it can't be the same person, they are too different.

Qiu Xingci sighed with emotion, and after some reflection, he realized that he actually had some voice control, and all the sounds he liked to listen to were of the same type.

He hummed uncomfortably and looked over with wandering eyes: "Yes, long time no see."

The next second, the handsome young man turned his head, his dark brown eyes unblinking, looking straight at Come over and look at Qiu Xingci.

"Xiao Ci, how are you doing recently?"

Someone said, looking at each other is like kissing without lust.

Qiu Xingci felt that this was wrong, and looked at each other with some people, as if he had been kissed passionately several times.

Qiu Xingci had already thought about it, and in front of the two elders, no matter what he was thinking, he would not show it.

Covering up their past entanglements, they are like strangers who have not seen each other for many years. Just say hello and exchange a few pleasantries.

It's just that there is always a difference between plans and reality. Hearing the name Chi Chengye used to greet him and the look in his eyes that didn't hide his feelings at all made Qiu Xingci a little furious.

As if he had refused to correct his identity many times during the ambiguous period when he was resisting, he turned around and shouted: "No matter how big or small, call me brother!" The

black and red clothes made the young man's eyes look like a wolf. He was so aggressive that his Adam's apple rolled up, and he bowed his head and smiled submissively, as if he had achieved a certain purpose, his eyes were happy.

"Yes, brother."

"My... brother Xiaoci."
