"It's really delicious."
After Xu Zizhen swallowed a mouthful of maple leaf cake, he couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing the old lady's confused look, Xu Zizhen explained, "Uncle told me that the maple leaf cake made by grandma is delicious."
"He loves to eat."
"Yeah?"
After being stunned for a moment, the old lady smiled happily and said, "When your uncle comes next time, I will make it for him too."
"Um."
Xu Zizhen grinned.
Uncle will be happy.
...
"Ouch~"
The next second, the maple leaf cake in Xiao Xiao's hand disappeared.
He calmly took another piece of maple leaf cake.
No one noticed this little episode.
...
Maple leaf crisp.
Father Xiao and Grandpa Xiao can also do it.
The menu of Xiao's Tea House is not fixed throughout the year.
Instead, seasonal tea and snacks will be available.
This is also widely praised by customers.
...
"Master Xiao Xiao."
Um?
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
He looked sideways.
I caught a flash of red out of the corner of my eye.
He stretched out his hand.
A bright red maple leaf fell into his palm.
"I want to eat maple leaf crisp."
...
Xiao Xiao:......
This guy......
He closed his palms and shook his head slightly.
...
"Master Xiao?"
Because of his position, Xu Zizhen raised his eyes and saw Xiao Xiao's inexplicable movements.
"What's wrong?"
...
"ah?"
Others also turned to look at Xiao Xiao because of Xu Zizhen's words.
"What's wrong?"
"The third child?"
...
Master Xiao?
The two old men were a little surprised by their grandson's name for classmate Xiao.
Last time...
Is this what your grandson calls classmate Xiao?
They don't remember.
Anyway, it's a strange title.
...
"Can I take the maple leaf cake and eat it under the maple tree in the yard?"
Xiao Xiao smiled.
...
Everyone was stunned.
"Lao San, you are so elegant."
Zhuge Yun twitched the corner of his mouth.
Going to eat maple leaf cake under the maple tree?
hehe.
...
"Oh, of course."
Xu Zizhen nodded blankly.
"Really, Grandpa, Grandma?"
...
"Ok, Ok."
The two old men reacted with smiles on their faces.
"That-"
"Ding dong~"
The doorbell rang from a door not far away.
...
The two old men looked calm.
The smile between his eyebrows turned into helplessness.
They looked at Xu Zizhen, "Xiao Zhen, please take your friends to the yard."
...
Xu Zizhen shook his head, "Grandpa, grandma, I'm with you."
Then he turned to Xiao Xiao and the others, "Master Xiao, this is not your first time here."
"You should know the way."
"I'm sorry, you go ahead."
"I'll be here in a minute."
...
"he came?"
Zhuge Yun asked clearly.
...
"should be."
Xu Zizhen is actually not sure.
But besides that person, who else could it be?
Just now, his attention was focused on the maple leaf cake, but he forgot to tell his grandparents the purpose of coming here.
"You came too early."
Xu Zizhen murmured.
...
"Because today is a weekend?"
Zhao Luzheng guessed.
"He's hardworking enough."
Zhuge Yun twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Come here early in the morning on the first day of vacation."
"Didn't he already know that he was working so hard?"
Zhang Bo rolled his eyes.
...
"Why?"
The two old men were a little confused.
This is......
"Xiao Zhen, have you told them all?"
...
"Um."
Xu Zizhen nodded.
"I told them about Hong Feng."
...
"That's it."
The old lady smiled.
The old man frowned, "It's true, you kid, what do you tell your classmates about this kind of thing?"
...
Xu Zizhen is quiet.
He just felt upset and couldn't help but talk to others.
...
"Grandpa Xu, we asked Xu Zizhen."
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows were slightly curved.
"yes."
Zhuge Yun answered, "He looked like he was worried."
"I'm in a trance even while walking."
"We couldn't help but ask him."
“After all, there is strength in numbers.”
"Maybe there's something we can do to help with what's bothering him."
...
"Thank you."
A faint smile appeared on the old man's face, "You are interested."
"But you also know."
"This matter is simple to say, but it is also very troublesome."
"Don't worry, we will take care of it."
...
Zhuge Yun opened his mouth.
For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
He knew the old man didn't believe they could be of any help.
Although this is indeed the case.
They really don't have a clue about this matter.
The only suggestion is what Lao San said to Xu Zizhen before.
...
"Oops~"
The old lady whispered, "Hurry up and open the door."
They were so busy chatting here that they forgot to open the door for others.
...
"Need not."
A male voice came in.
"I'm in."
...
Facing the eyes that were all looking at him, the man showed a slightly apologetic smile.
"Excuse me."
"Because no one came to open the door, I tried to push the door."
"I didn't expect the door to be unlocked."
"I just came in on my own."
"terribly sorry."
The man bent slightly.
"I took the risk."
...
"You're so-"
"it's okay no problem."
Before Xu Zizhen finished speaking, he was interrupted by the old lady.
The old lady waved her hand.
"We were here chatting and forgot to open the door."
"You might as well come in by yourself."
Not a stranger anymore.
Besides, there are so many people at home now, what danger can there be?
...
Xu Zizhen:......
He had nothing to say about his grandmother.
But this man...can he really not see that he is not welcome?
There is simply no self-knowledge at all!
Don’t you know how much trouble you have caused to others?
Although...this man also helped grandma...
Ah~
So annoying.
Xu Zizhen frowned.
...
"Did I come at the wrong time?"
The man scanned the hall.
So many people were really beyond his expectation.
...
"Wow~"
Zhuge Yun whispered.
"Look."
“It’s really a watch strap with a maple leaf pattern.”
"Shirt with dark maple leaf pattern."
Zhao Luzheng's lips moved.
"Didn't any of you see his vest?"
Zhang Bo tried his best to lower his voice.
What a distinct maple leaf pattern.
Still in color.
...
"Nothing."
The old lady smiled and greeted the man, "Sit down."
"They're going to the yard right away."
"In the yard?"
The man's eyes lit up, "Can I go too?"
...
here we go again.
Xu Zizhen's brows furrowed even more tightly.
As soon as he comes here, this person will go to the courtyard.
I'm going to see that maple tree.
The love on his face...
He was a little impressed at first.
But after a while, when he saw that expression again... he wanted to punch him.
Inexplicably annoying.
Phew~
Xu Zizhen took a deep breath silently.
calm.
He needs to calm down.
...
"certainly."
The old lady agreed without surprise.
Every time this person comes, he has to see the maple tree before leaving.
To be honest, my own maple tree -
Although that maple tree has some complicated senses due to some special reasons...
