Nie Xiangsi stares at Zhan tingshen inconceivably.


    Zhan tingshen''s eyes were warm and smiling. The frequency of shaking from the corner of her mouth showed that the little girl was speechless, but he obviously didn''t want to explain anything.


    ……


    It''s new year''s Eve in the blink of an eye.


    The old house is decorated with lanterns. Red lanterns are hung around the old house. The couplets are pasted on the double doors, which are written by Zhan Yao himself.


    In addition to lanterns, neon lights are also strung on the trees on both sides of the yard, especially flashing.


    Nie Xiangsi is fully armed. She is wearing a long white down jacket and a red skirt. Her skirt can show the hem of her down jacket. She has a scarlet scarf around her neck and a thick red woolen hat on her head. She is standing in the yard with a pair of combat deep leather gloves and a torch in one hand.


    Zhan Yao and Zhan tingshen stood behind her as if they were guarding her.


    Zhan Jinyao and Zhan Tingxiu are also watching.


    Zhan Jin, Sheng Xiuzhu and Zhan Jinwen stood on the steps out of the hall.


    Sheng Xiuzhu was very happy to see Nie Xiangsi. She said to Zhan Jinwen, "Jinwen, do you want to play?"


    Zhan Jinwen looks at Nie Xiangsi holding a torch around Zhan tingshen and Zhan Yao. She laughs like a trumpet flower. Don''t mention putting her eyes on it. Hearing the words, she immediately sniffs and says, "I don''t want to play. It''s all children''s play. How old is Nie Xiangsi, pretending to be tender and lovely. It''s funny!"


    On New Year''s Eve this year, Sheng Xiuzhu was in a good mood. Hearing what she said, she raised her hand and touched her head. "You are about the same age as Acacia. You are 20 years old. Acacia is only 18 years old. Aren''t you all children? Children are looking forward to the new year, so they are especially happy during the new year. "


    Zhan Jinwen said, "are you still a child when you are 18? I don''t think it''s harmful... "


    Before Zhan Jinwen finished speaking, a faint light suddenly came from the front.


    Zhan Jinwen''s heart jumped and her mouth pursed tightly subconsciously.


    Sheng Xiuzhu looked at Zhan tingshen, laughed and sighed, "I see this family, only your third brother can cure you."


    "..." Zhan Jinwen raised her mouth, didn''t answer Sheng Xiuzhu''s words, and stomped to Zhan tingshen.


    Sheng Xiuzhu looks at it with her eyebrows gently.


    "Third brother, you haven''t talked to me since you came here today? Are you still mad at me? " Zhan Jinwen drags Zhan tingshen''s arm and looks at Zhan tingshen wrongly.


    Zhan tingshen''s face was flat. He looked down at her and didn''t speak.


    "... third brother, I listen to you and apologize to Nie Xiangsi." Zhan Jinwen frowned and her eyes were slightly red.


    Zhan tingshen took another look at her and said in a light voice, "get along well with Sisi in the future. Don''t be willful."


    "I..."


    Zhan Jinwen instinctively wants to retort, but as soon as she opens her mouth, Zhan tingshen looks at her eyes coldly. Leng swallows the words that climb to her throat. Her eyelashes droop slightly. She puts on a gentle attitude and says, "I know. After all, acacia is my niece. I''m her elder. I''ll get along with her in the future. "


    Zhan tingshen heard that "acacia is my niece after all." his cold brow stirred, and he pursed his thin lips without saying anything.


    Zhan Jinwen was silent for a while. She raised her eyes to Zhan tingshen and said cautiously, "third brother, you are not angry with me, are you?"


    "Well." Zhan tingshen said.


    Although the tone is still as cold as ever, Zhan Jinwen is very happy to hear this.


    Smile on tiptoe to embrace him, "third brother, happy New Year!"


    Zhan tingshen put his hands on Zhan Jinwen''s arm. Instinctively, he wanted to push her away, but when he heard her, he gave her a slight pat on the shoulder.


    Sheng Xiuzhu looks at his brother and sister and smiles happily.


    Zhan Jin looked at Zhan Jinwen''s brilliant smile, and his habitual face became a little loose.


    Nie Xiangsi caught a glimpse of them embracing each other from the corner of her eyes. She was stunned and continued to put her fireworks tube.


    ……


    The family had dinner on New Year''s Eve. Zhan Tingxiu and Zhan Jinyao had their own circle of friends, so after dinner, they got together.


    Zhan Jinwen loves live broadcasting very much. She is a little well-known, um... Netizen.


    As soon as Zhan Tingxiu and Zhan Jinyao leave, she goes back to her room and plays live.


    Zhan Yaosheng, Xiuzhu and Zhan Jin sat in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala.


    Nie Xiangsi knew that Zhan tingshen and Zhai Simo would gather to play mahjong all night on the 30th of the lunar new year.


    In the past, Zhan tingshen would take her, but every time she could only stay up until two or three o''clock, she couldn''t afford to go to the rest room to have a rest. At dawn, Zhan tingshen would ask her to get up and go back to the old house together. The family went to the cemetery to pay New Year''s greetings to the late grandmother and other ancestors of the Zhan family.


    But this night, Nie Xiangsi doesn''t plan to go with Zhan tingshen.


    Zhan Yao has a tradition of keeping the new year''s Eve, so every new year''s Eve Zhan Yao keeps the new year''s Eve.


    Some years ago, Sheng Xiuzhu and Zhan Jin would still be with them. However, in recent years, they are getting older and can''t bear to watch the new year''s day all night. Therefore, neither of them is watching the new year''s day, and the younger generation is not particular about it. Only Zhan Yao is left.


    Nie Xiangsi doesn''t really understand Zhan Yao''s insistence on keeping the new year.


    He is now in his nineties. If he goes to bed late, he will feel uncomfortable and can''t breathe well.


    But every year on New Year''s Eve, he still insists.


    Don''t want to fight Yao alone another night, so Nie Xiangsi decided to accompany Zhan Yao tonight.


    When Nie Xiangsi tells Zhan tingshen what he plans to do, Zhan tingshen doesn''t say anything, but when Nie Xiangsi sends him out of the gate, he drags Nie Xiangsi over the stone pillar on one side of the gate and kisses him fiercely.


    Nie Xiangsi almost died of his kiss!


    When he left, Nie Xiangsi''s legs were too soft to speak. If she was not afraid that he would laugh at her, she would sit on the ground.


    Zhan tingshen, with a deep smile in his eyes, touched Nie Xiangsi''s hot face and told her to wait outside for a while before going in.


    Nie Xiangsi asked him why.


    This "old" hooligan even said that her mouth was too swollen and could be seen


    Why is her mouth swollen?


    Moreover, since I know that I will be seen, I am still pro so hard to bully people, right!


    ╭(╯ ╰)╮


    ……


    At night, Sheng Xiuzhu and Zhan Jin went upstairs to have a rest before eleven o''clock.


    Zhan Jinwen came down from the upstairs and went upstairs with her snacks and drinks. She never came out again, but she didn''t go to bed so early.


    The TV in the main room is on and a comedy is on.


    Nie Xiangsi and Zhan Yao are sitting in the sofa. They are looking at each other quietly and laughing from time to time. They are very harmonious.


    After 12:00, Zhan Yao worried that Nie Xiangsi couldn''t bear it, so he began to chase her upstairs to have a rest.


    How can Nie Xiangsi go upstairs to sleep at 12 o''clock?


    Besides, who can sleep at 12 o''clock?


    At two o''clock in the night, Zhan Yao turns down the volume of the TV. Looking at Nie Xiangsi, who is sitting beside him and whose eyelids begin to fight up and down, his turbid eyes are happy.


    Even his own can''t do what Nie Xiangsi thinks of him.


    Such a kind and considerate child, even if there is no such thing... He is willing to adopt her and treat her well.


    Think of that.


    Zhan Yao''s eyes were deep, and his face was a little dignified.


    Feeling that he could sleep to death in the next second, Nie Xiangsi suddenly inhaled and sat up straight on the sofa, pinching his thigh with his hand.


    Zhan Yao was stunned, and his thoughts in his eyes were swept away. He looked at Nie Xiangsi with a smile, "you girl, do you want to go to sleep?"


    Nie Xiangsi rubbed her thigh, pouted her lips and sat down beside Zhan Yao. She put her hand around Zhan Yao''s arm and put her head on his shoulder. Her voice was dumb and sleepy. "I''ve agreed to stay with you. If I go to bed now, what''s the point of my staying here? "


    Zhan Yao touched Nie Xiangsi''s head and said, "your heart is too much for grandfather to receive. Go upstairs and have a rest


    Nie Xiangsi shook his head, raised his eyes and looked at Zhan Yao obstinately, "you can insist, so can I. So, I won''t go to bed. If I say I''ll stay with you for the night, I have to stay to the end. It''s a matter of credibility. "


    "Oh." Zhan Yao said with a smile, "what''s your reputation with granddad?"


    Nie Xiangsi also laughs, "too grandfather, you insist on keeping the new year every year, don''t you think about not keeping it for a year?"


    Zhan Yao shook his head, "No."


    Nie Xiangsi looked at him, "because this is a tradition, so you want to pass on the tradition?"


    "Zhan Yao stared at Nie Xiangsi for a while, but still shook his head gently," inheritance is only part of the reason. "


    "There are other reasons?" Nie Xiangsi sits upright and looks at him curiously.


    "Well. It''s your grandmother Zhan Yao''s mouth moved and his eyes flashed with memories and happiness.


    Grandma?


    Nie Xiangsi was puzzled.


    Zhan Yao turned his head and looked ahead. He patted Nie Xiangsi''s hand on his arm and said slowly, "you haven''t seen your grandmother, so you don''t know how good your grandmother is."


    Nie Xiangsi pursed her lips.


    Although she has never met her grandmother, she has heard Sheng Xiuzhu and Zhan tingshen mention it.


    Even Sheng Xiuzhu is full of praise. Zhan Yao''s mouth rises as soon as he mentions it. Other Nie Xiangsi is not clear, but he must be very kind.


    "In our time, we didn''t fall in love freely as you do now. We were all the orders of our parents and the words of the matchmaker. I didn''t meet your grandmother before we got married. Your grandmother is from other provinces. Wedding night is the first time I met your grandmother Zhan Yao''s tone is sweet.


    Nie Xiangsi couldn''t help but talk.


    "I''ll tell you secretly that I fell in love with your grandmother at first sight." Zhan Yao pursed a smile at the corner of his mouth, and his old face turned red.


    Nie Xiangsi looks straight and happy.


    Zhan Yao was a little embarrassed when he saw Nie Xiangsi staring at him with a smile. After adjusting his expression slightly, he continued, "your grandmother is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Not only that, your grandmother is also a talented woman. She can draw, write poems, play the piano, dance and everything. I''m fascinated by your grandmother. Cough... "


    Zhan Yao realized that Nie Xiangsi was still two generations away from him. It was hard to avoid being serious when he said this in front of the younger generation, so he coughed and stopped in time.


    Nie Xiangsi is happy to laugh, staring at Zhan Yao''s small eyes.


    "... you child!" Zhan Yao is embarrassed and angry.


    "Granddad, I didn''t expect you to be a lover when you were young." Nie Xiangsi laughs.


    Zhan Yao''s old face turned red, feigning anger and staring at Nie Xiangsi, "are you bad?"


    "Ha ha, I..."


    "Who is bad?"


    What else did Nie Xiangsi want to say? A cold voice suddenly came from the door of the main hall.


    “……”。
