It was not too late when Xie Tian returned to Dayanglou from Xiangmanyuan, but the smell of alcohol could be smelled from afar.
Tang Haoer was dissatisfied and went to Xie Tian to help him take off his coat, and said angrily: "Where have you been? I drank so much wine."
Xie Tian smiled and said: "A place you would never expect, a fragrant garden, no surprise."
Tang Haoer snorted: "Unexpected, what a surprise. Come in quickly, Tiedan and Niandi are waiting for you in the living room."
"Uh", Xie Tian glanced at Tang Haoer speechlessly. Tang Haoer knew everything.
In the living room, Song Nianni and Xiaoxue Xiaoshuang saw Xie Tian entering the door and hurriedly stood up and were about to kneel down. Xie Tian couldn't help but shouted: "No kneeling. If you want to kneel, I will turn around and leave."
Song Niandi and the other three were stunned. Tang Haoer quickly walked up to the three of them and held them back, saying, "You don't know his temper, just listen to him."
In fact, Tang Hao'er is only three years older than Song Niandi, but Tang Haoer is a generation older than the three of them, and Song Niandi also wants to follow Tiedan and call Tang Haoer godmother.
Xie Tian breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the living room and waved to several people: "Sit down, everyone. Sit down and talk."
Tang Haoer pulled several people to sit on a big sofa. In fact, Song Niandi and the three of them were still children in Xie Tian's eyes, or girls at best.
Song Niandi was sixteen years old, and Xiaoxue Xiaoshuang was only thirteen years old. They were still at school age in Xie Tian's era, but in this era, they had already entered the society early, and they were still in the darkest place in this society.
After comforting the three people, Tang Haoer stood up and poured a cup of herbal tea made from hawthorn slices for Xie Tian. He handed it to Xie Tian and said angrily: "Drink some hawthorn water first to sober up."
Xie Tian took the teacup and drank it in one gulp. He breathed a sigh of relief and handed the teacup back to Tang Haoer. He looked at Tiedan standing aside and asked, "How do you plan to settle your sister and the others?"
Tiedan grinned and said, "Listen to your godfather."
Xie Tian scolded: "You brat, you're so old that you would go to a place like Xiangmanyuan. But it's your fate with your sister, so I won't scold you."
Tiedan smiled and turned around, picked up a box from the coffee table and put it in front of Xie Tian. He looked at Xie Tian and said, "Godfather, I agreed in advance that you are not allowed to scold me. I have saved two dollars, and this is to honor you."
Xie Tian glanced at the box and said with a smile: "Bad boy, looking at the weight of this box, I know that you have been stroking a lot during this time. Do I have to deal with you in accordance with military discipline?"
Tiedan curled his lips and said, "I knew you had to say that. Anyway, you are used to snatching my things. At worst, you can confiscate them. Anyway, I took them out and have no intention of taking them back."
Xie Tian gave Tiedan a slap in the face unceremoniously, glared and cursed: "That's nonsense. When did I steal your stuff?"
"Tch, my godmother's little pistol was captured by me, and the one that belonged to so and so is also mine."
Xie Tian stared at Tiedan speechlessly, raised his chin and said, "Take this back, I won't need it. Now that you and your sister are reunited, you have to find a place to put them. Go buy a house and settle down. Only in this way can you have your own roots.”
Tiedan grinned: "I still have the An family's money."
Xie Tian's eyes widened. Damn it, how many things did you pull? According to military discipline, should he be pulled out and shot?
Tiedan saw Xie Tian's eyes glaring and said hurriedly: "There are not many left, barely enough to buy a small yard."
Xie Tian snorted and asked, "Now that I have found your sister, it's time for you to call me by your name. Niandi, what was Tiedan's original name?"
Song Niandi pulled Xiaoxue Xiaoshuang and stood up and replied: "Coming back to the Commander-in-Chief, I have discussed it with my brother. No matter what his name was before, he will still be called Xie Jin from now on, because this is the name you gave him. From now on I Also taking my brother's surname of Xie is a complete break with my previous life. And the two of them, they will be called Xie Xue and Xie Shuang from now on. The three of us are sworn sisters and we will live and die together from now on."
Xie Tian looked at Niandi with a dark look, "You all took Tiedan's surname, so you took my surname too, but he didn't have much to say about this, so he laughed dryly and said, "That's fine. Forget the past and let's look forward. Sit down, all sit down. Tell me what your plans are for the future."
Because Tiedan and the others were here, it was rare that there were no other guests in Dayanglou tonight.
Niandi and the other three sat down as instructed. Niandi looked at Xie Tian and asked cautiously: "Commander-in-Chief, can I call you godfather like my brother?"
Xie Tian scratched his head with a black line. His godfather and godson were nothing, but the quarrel between his godfather and his goddaughter would be a topic that people would never tire of talking about in later generations. Of course, Xie Tian would not have any thoughts about Nian Di. Yes, in his eyes Nian Di is just a child who hasn't grown up yet, but he knows that if he nods this way, the relationship between Nian Di and him will be different.
Seeing Xie Tian's hesitation, Niandi couldn't help showing a disappointed expression on her face, and Tang Haoer couldn't bear to pinch Xie Tian secretly.
Her life experience is pitiful enough, but if she just wants to be her goddaughter, at least no one will dare to bully her in the future.
Feeling pain in his leg, Xie Tian thought about it and smiled at Niandi: "I don't care what I call you. If you are willing to call me godfather, I will recognize you as my daughter."
Nian Di was overjoyed and hurriedly got up and walked to Xie Tian to kneel down and worship. As a result, she couldn't help but cry after kneeling down.
Xie Tian sighed and helped Nian Di up with both hands. He pretended not to see Xie Xue and Xie Shuang who were eager to try. He patted Nian Di on the arm and said, "The past things are in the past. Let's cut them all off. Forget all the past things. From now on, you can She is my daughter, Xie Baoqing. If anyone dares to bully you, I will tear off their head."
Nian Di cried bitterly and threw herself... into Tang Hao'er's arms, holding Tang Hao'er and sobbing non-stop: "Godmother... Godmother..."
Tang Haoer sighed softly. Although she was a few years older than Nian Di, she was much richer emotionally and experienced than Nian Di. She had a father who was a traitor, a grandfather who was a rich man, and a As an uncle who was a great spy, the intrigues Tang Haoer had seen since he was a child were beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Tang Haoer patted Niandi on the back and looked at Xie Tian and said: "Why don't we talk about anything serious today? They have just come out of that kind of place and they have to go through a process of adaptation before they can make their own choices. I don't think it's better to do this. , let’s arrange for them to stay in the guest room for the next few days. Tomorrow I will take them around and buy some decent clothes. After they are all familiar with it, I can decide how to go in the future.”
Although Nian Di's clothes were bright, she looked like she had come from the dusty world, and the clothes of the two maids, including Xie Xue and Xie Shuang, were not suitable for wearing out.
Tang Haoer's family runs a dyeing workshop to make ready-made clothes. Helping them change into decent clothes is what Tang Haoer is best at.
