Lu Jinnan put the pictures that Lu Xiao picked up on the tea desk, pointed to them and mentioned, “You already know about this?”

Ye Cheng and Lu Xiao stayed collectively virtually every single day. Secretary Zhang mentioned that they needed to eat collectively and go to the bathroom collectively. Some folks within the firm teased that they have been higher than brothers slightly than brothers.

Ye Cheng couldn’t shake his head and admitted, “I’m sorry, Grandpa.”

Lu Jinnan sighed closely and checked out him in disappointment, “I assumed you have been an excellent boy who wouldn’t lie, so let me say one thing like this.”

Ye Cheng lowered his head silently and didn’t reply.

“Inform me the reality, does Lu Xiao dislike this woman, or does he have already got somebody he likes outdoors?”

Lu Jinnan noticed his expression and appeared to note one thing.

Ye Cheng hesitated, however at this second, Lu Jinnan’s cellular phone rang.

He glanced on the display, put it in his ear and mentioned, “Hey, Xiao Li, what’s the matter?”

On the similar time, he waved to Ye Cheng and motioned him to exit.

Ye Cheng breathed a sigh of aid and bowed out of the room.

Not understanding what Meng Li mentioned to Lu Jinnan, he went downstairs to greet Lu Yuelin and hurried out.

Lu Yuelin made an inviting gesture and mentioned, “Xiao Ye, there is no such thing as a one else at residence, let’s have dinner collectively.”

Aside from banquets, household meals and actions are within the outdated constructing on the again.

The outdated constructing is completely different from the earlier one, and it’s extra inclined to the traditional faculty constructing.

Auntie led them via the hall. There was a pond within the yard. From this a part of the highway, the sunshine was a lot darker than within the entrance yard.

Ye Cheng seemed on the different aspect of the pond, the place was the ancestral corridor.

Lu Yuelin didn’t care about his eldest nephew in any respect and politely requested Ye Cheng to sit down down on the spherical eating desk, ready for the chef to convey the dishes one after one other.

Within the earlier life, Ye Cheng had hardly been alone with him, and now he felt awkward all over the place.

Lu Yuelin launched the dishes enthusiastically, and requested him, “What did Xiao Xiao do incorrect? Did he miss out on the account, or did he lose his mood and annoy the client?”

Ye Cheng’s face was mild, and he mentioned, “Do you are feeling sorry on your nephew by asking this? Or, I’ll choose some dishes and put them in a bowl. Would you wish to ship them to him? He will certainly thanks.”

Lu Yuelin was choked for a second, and touched his nostril embarrassedly: “It’s not that I don’t wish to give him meals, the outdated man received’t let him, what can I do?”

In response to the principles of the Lu household, one can’t eat within the ancestral corridor, which is taken into account disrespectful.

To place it bluntly, it’s punishing you in your knees and making you starve.

Lu Yuelin discovered that Ye Cheng couldn’t reveal the information, so he picked up the crab legs of the king crab and gnawed it indifferently.

After the meal, Ye Cheng wiped his mouth and mentioned, “Uncle Lu, I heard from Grandpa, auntie is completely satisfied?”

“Huh? Sure, she simply bought pregnant.” Lu Yuelin put down his chopsticks and mentioned fortunately.

Ye Cheng mentioned: “Congratulations, by the way in which, it’s best for pregnant girls to eat folic acid.”

“What?” Lu Yuelin didn’t know why.

Ye Cheng didn’t say extra, bought up, and left.

Within the afternoon, he completed all of the paperwork within the examine after which went to the kitchen to hang around together with his pockets.

The chef with a beer stomach chatted fortunately with him and gave him just a few items of snowflakes.

Lu Jinnan got here again at supper time, his face seemed cloudy.

Nobody dared to make a sound on the eating desk, and even Lu Yuelin, the fool, restrained himself loads and ate together with his head down.

Lu Jinnan went again to the room midway via the meal, leaving solely Ye Cheng and Lu Yuelin to stare at one another. Ye Cheng discovered it laborious to swallow as a result of he noticed it, and made an excuse to slide again into the room.

Each time he got here to the outdated home, he stayed within the visitor room dealing with the south.

The clock handed eleven, and the home was quiet. Lu Jinnan’s sleep high quality isn’t good, so at night time, nobody walks round the home casually.

Ye Cheng took out the cake given by the chef, turned over the bag of milk that he hadn’t drank at midday from underneath the pillow, and went downstairs at the hours of darkness.

He first discovered the fridge, solely to search out there have been no leftovers in it.

So he opened the kitchen cupboard once more, apart from every kind of unprocessed substances, not even on the spot noodles…

Thankfully, there was nonetheless some white porridge that aunt had not completed ingesting within the pot. He stuffed it with an empty mineral water bottle and walked cautiously in the direction of the ancestral corridor.

Ye Cheng could be very accustomed to the outdated home, the one factor that hinders him is the darkness round him.

As a way to match the constructing complicated within the yard, even the chandeliers within the corridors are imitation historic lanterns.

When the wind blows, the lights and shadows sway, surprisingly.

He wrapped the blanket tightly round him and stepped as much as the ancestral corridor.

Via the crack of the door, the scent of burning incense wafted from it.

Ye Cheng endured the discomfort and quietly shouted on the door, “Lu Xiao, Lu Xiao?”

– No response in any respect.

This canine factor, 80% he fell asleep once more.

He needed to push the door and enter, silently saying “no intention to disturb, sorry sorry”.

The heavy wood door made a creaking sound, which was particularly harsh within the silent night time. The howling of a wild cat got here from the pond, and the water dripped down.

The sunshine from the ancestral corridor came visiting, Ye Cheng was horrified, and rushed in resolutely, shouting, “Lu Xiao!!”

Lu Xiao was sitting on the futon dozing off when he vaguely heard a well-known voice calling him.

He opened his eyes in a trance, and a determine slammed into his arms.

“Ah, ah, can’t there be a light-weight on the door!”

Lu Xiao: “…”

“Why are you right here?” He checked out Ye Cheng in shock, “No, how did you discover this place?”

Ye Cheng took a breath and tried to calm his pounding coronary heart. He mentioned speechlessly, “Can’t the wild cat at residence be caught and sterilized? It has to return a number of occasions a month.”

Lu Xiao was a bit confused.

Ye Cheng shook the bag in his hand and mentioned, “You have to be hungry, I introduced you one thing to eat.”

He rotated and put his fingers collectively once more and mentioned, “The ancestors, can’t bear their little great-grandson to starve.”

“Pfft—” Lu Xiao couldn’t maintain again and laughed.

The primary time they have been punished for kneeling collectively, Lu Xiao hid a roasted candy potato in his pocket with expertise, and took it out for Ye Cheng to eat at night time. At the moment, Ye Cheng was nonetheless very disciplined, and mentioned embarrassedly, “Didn’t Grandpa say that meals isn’t allowed within the ancestral corridor.”

Lu Xiao peeled off the pores and skin of the candy potato, gave him the meat, chewed the meat on the pores and skin himself, and mentioned vaguely, “He mentioned this on objective to make us hungry. My father and my uncles all eat, the ancestors are reluctant to allow us to starve.”

“As anticipated of the daughter-in-law of our Lu household, he’s actually intelligent.” Lu Xiao smiled and took a chunk of the Cake.

He was hungry all day, and his mouth was full.

Ye Cheng checked out him as if seeing Lu Xiao in his reminiscence.

Regardless of how outdated he’s, he’s nonetheless as infantile as ever.

He couldn’t assist however reached out and wiped his mouth, saying, “Sloppy.”

Lu Xiao handed the half-bitten cake to his mouth and mentioned, “It’s Grasp Qiao’s craftsmanship. I’ve liked this since I used to be a baby. You’ll be able to strive it too.”

“I’m not hungry.” Ye Cheng averted his hand, however his abdomen growled.

How may he eat at night time, and now his abdomen began to complain.

Lu Xiao laughed loudly, so scared that Ye Cheng rapidly blushed and coated his mouth.

As a final resort, he took a sip from Lu Xiao’s hand. He didn’t count on it to style actually good, and even he, who didn’t like sweets, discovered it scrumptious.

However sweets are sweets in spite of everything, and Ye Cheng bought bored with it after just a few bites.

However there’s a sort of starvation that makes your husband suppose you’re hungry.

Lu Xiao heard his abdomen growl and insisted on sharing the remainder of the white fungus porridge with him.

Ye Cheng was virtually vomited from the greasy scent, and he resisted saying that he didn’t wish to eat it.

As a way to “coax the disobedient spouse to have an excellent meal”, Lu Xiao recommended that they guess their fists, and whoever wins will drink a mouthful of white fungus porridge.

“Why don’t you drink once you lose?” Ye Cheng mentioned, “I don’t wish to drink in any respect, okay?”

Lu Xiao is fluent in kindness: “Okay, let’s drink when you lose, come on.”

He rolled up his sleeves and held out his proper hand with nice curiosity.

Ye Cheng: “…you’re so boring, are you able to drink it your self?”

“No, darling, don’t make hassle.”

“…”

So the 2 of them performed rock-paper scissors, and whoever misplaced would take a mouthful of porridge, one after one other, to complete the bottle.

Ye Cheng was full, and felt that he was about to vomit when he touched his abdomen.

“I’m going again to mattress, good night time.” He dragged his physique and stood up.

Lu Xiao tugged on the nook of his garments: “Let’s proceed to guess. In the event you win, I’ll sleep with you within the ancestral corridor. In the event you lose, sleep with me within the ancestral corridor.”

Ye Cheng lastly couldn’t bear it anymore, and in entrance of the ancestors, he gave their little great-grandson a kick, “Go away!”

Early the subsequent morning, earlier than the chickens within the cage have been crowing, the sound of “huhuhuhuhu” sounded outdoors.

Ye Cheng opened her eyes sleepily, understanding that Lu Jinnan was operating within the morning.

When he first moved into the outdated home, he didn’t know Lu Jinnan’s habits.

He needed to stand up early that day due to the visitors at residence. He was tossed an excessive amount of the night time earlier than. After brushing his tooth together with his eyes closed within the morning, he was pressured to drink milk by Lu Xiao.

Ye Cheng didn’t like ingesting milk at first, and his rebellious coronary heart was faintly transferring. When Lu Xiao rotated, he pushed open the window angrily and poured the milk down.

The implications will be imagined. As quickly as Lu Jinnan walked out of the door, a glass of milk was poured on him.

Within the chilly winter and twelfth lunar month, Lu Jinnan ran across the yard in a tunic swimsuit.

When he ran to the door of the ancestral corridor, he stopped to see his valuable grandson.

Lu Jinnan pushed open the door and stepped in, solely to see his grandson mendacity on the blanket, sleeping on his again, drooling, and with cake crumbs on the corners of his mouth.

On the navy blue coat, just a few items of white porridge solidified.

Lu Xiao turned over, rolled underneath Lu Jinnan’s toes, tugged at his trousers and mentioned, “I’m so sleepy, child, sleep a bit longer.”

Lu Jinnan: “…”

5 minutes later, chickens and canines jumped within the yard.

Lu Jinnan took the department he folded at random and ran after Lu Xiao within the yard.

“You pungent boy! I requested you to replicate, then right here you’re consuming and ingesting! You’re nonetheless having that nasty dream!”

“Grandpa! I used to be incorrect! When you have one thing to say, don’t do it! I’ll go, how are you going to run so quick…”

Auntie stood by the door with a brush to look at the joy, and greeted Ye Cheng, who had simply come downstairs, with a smile: “Scholar Cheng, get up, Grasp is doing morning workouts, do you wish to include me?”

Lu Yuelin rushed out of the room on the primary ground, his mouth filled with toothpaste, and requested whereas placing on his garments, “What’s the matter? I heard the earth-shattering outdoors early within the morning.”

“Oh, outdated man, that’s a peach tree that I’ve been planting for nearly ten years. Why are you beating it like a feather duster?” Grasp Qiao within the kitchen squatted beside him with an enormous stomach and mentioned regretfully.

After some uproar, within the tea room.

Lu Xiao lowered his fingers obediently and knelt down in entrance of Lu Jinnan.

Ye Cheng stood apart awkwardly, not understanding what to do.

Lu Yuelin probed his head on the door, and was thrown out by Lu Jinnan with a teapot, “Go away!”

The tea room fell silent once more.

Ye Cheng secretly touched Lu Xiao together with his foot, signaling him to take the initiative to confess his mistake.

Lu Xiao seemed cussed and turned his head away angrily.

Seeing this scene, Lu Jinnan’s eyes turned deeper.
