The sudden arrival of the four elders of the Ruan family was something no one expected.
Nie Heng was dumbfounded. He glanced at Yangliu Ruan Fengmian in front of him, and then at Grandpa Ruan and Grandma Ruan standing in the yard. He uttered a loud 'fuck' in shock.
"Who are you scolding, brat?" A soft, clean hand mixed with the power of thunder slapped him on the back of the head.
Nie Heng, who was just over 1.8 meters tall, staggered when he was photographed.
He quickly slapped himself on the mouth and begged Yang Liu bitterly for mercy, "Aunt Liu, I was wrong. Please don't hit me. My brain is not working well in the first place. If you hit me again, you will be even more stupid."
"What does my poor brain have to do with me?" Yang Liu retracted his hand and blew on his nails slowly, "Your master smashed those out with a rice bowl."
Nie Heng: "..."
Nie Heng didn't dare to speak. Aunt Liu of the old Ruan family was the oldest, so she didn't dare to offend him.
In the yard, Ruan Qi hugged Grandpa Ruan and Grandma Ruan for a while, and her excitement finally calmed down.
She walked between the two old people, holding one arm in each other, "Grandpa and grandma, it's hot outside, let's go inside and talk."
The little girl obediently supported the old man and walked slowly into the door of the villa.
"Grandpa and grandma!" Nie Heng called someone with a smile, found a few pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet, then turned and shouted in the direction of the kitchen, "Brother Nan! Senior brother! Uncle Ruan and the others are here! Come out quickly!"
The boy's clear voice passed through the living room and into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, the sound of the range hood buzzed, the sounds of chopping, cooking, and the clinking of pots and pans mixed together.
Xu Xiangyang, who was closest to the kitchen door, vaguely heard Nie Heng's shouting. He glanced outside the kitchen and asked, "What is Nie Heng shouting?"
Ruan Munan was busy chopping dumpling fillings, while Xi Jiu was peeling garlic next to the range hood. The noise was so loud that the two of them didn't notice the movement outside at all.
"Did the doorbell ring just now?" Ruan Munan asked while waving the kitchen knife, "It should be Master Beilou who is back. Xiangyang, go out and take a look."
"My croquette can't get away." Xu Xiangyang held the colander and raised his chin at Xi Jiu, "Master Xi, are you going?"
Xi Jiu, who had already peeled three kilograms of garlic, looked at him expressionlessly, then turned on the faucet, rinsed his hands, and turned to leave the kitchen.
At the entrance, Ruan Qi obediently helped Grandpa Ruan and Grandma Ruan change their shoes.
Except for Yang Liu, Ruan Fengmian and Grandpa Ruan and Grandma Ruan were both visiting Yuyuan Villa for the first time. Several people kept looking at the structure of the villa, fearing that their little baby would not be comfortable.
"Daughter, is this villa too small?" Ruan Fengmian visually inspected the size of the entrance hall and said with a bit of disgust, "The area of this entrance hall is not as big as our pig's nest."
Nie Heng: "..."
"Feng Mian is right, this room is a bit small." Grandpa Ruan glanced at the Nordic style shoe cabinet standing on the wall worriedly, "How many pairs of shoes can this small shoe cabinet hold? We wear them when growing vegetables in the fields. There’s not enough room for the rubber boots. Granddaughter, this house is too small, why don’t you get a bigger one?”
Nie Heng: "..."
"Exchange for a bigger one? Land is very expensive in the imperial capital. Don't you know how expensive the house prices are?" Grandma Ruan gave Grandpa Ruan a sharp look, "Xiaoqi has just entered the entertainment industry, how can he have so much money to change a house? Nowadays, in big cities, Houses are expensive, and many people can’t afford them even after working all their lives. If you ask me, it’s better to just buy a piece of land and live comfortably in the house you build!”
Nie Heng: "..."
Is that enough?
When you have enough, buy a plane ticket and go back.
Nie Heng's mouth twitched in silence, while Ruan Qi listened with a smile, not feeling at all that her elders were talking about Versailles.
Yang Liu, who had put on slippers, heard the conversation between her husband and her parents-in-law. She rubbed her forehead with a headache and was about to speak when her eyes suddenly caught sight of Ruan Qi's exposed collarbone outside her T-shirt.
"Baby." Her gaze paused, and her peach blossom eyes, which were very similar to Ruan Qi's, slightly narrowed, "Where did the mark on your collarbone come from?"
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Dad Ruan: The house is too small and is not as big as a pig pen.
Grandpa Ruan: The shoe cabinet is so small that even the rubber boots can’t be put down.
Grandma Ruan: House prices in the imperial capital are too expensive for every inch of land. We don’t have that much money, so we might as well buy land.
Nie Heng: I am so annoyed by Fan.
