When Jiang Li arrived at the alley in the west of the city, Pei Zhi and others were already in the yard.
The yard has been renovated very well, and it does look more elegant.
Jiang Li stood next to Pei Zhi, raised her head and said with a smile: "Welcome third brother, you are finally back!"
Pei Zhi looked unpredictable, half-smiling but not smiling: "Jiang Li, you asked me to help you with things as soon as you came back. Is this how you welcome me?"
In the past, Jiang Li might have been a little scared when she saw him like this, thinking that he was moody.
But now, she has almost figured out the temperament of her third brother. She is not afraid at all. Instead, she pulls his sleeves and acts coquettishly: "Of course I have prepared something to welcome the third brother."
It's not strange to see omens for a long time. Only the eldest lady dares to do this in front of the master. However, the master only allows the eldest lady to do this in front of him. If others do this, the master will probably just feel bored.
Shuang Ning felt unhappy when she saw the two of them like this, but she didn't dare to explode in front of Pei Zhi, so she had to endure the dissatisfaction in her heart and glared at Jiang Li secretly.
The master needs help for such a trivial matter, but it is useless.
Jiang Li felt a cold gaze looking at her. She looked around, but found nothing.
Could it be that I am overthinking it?

Jiang Xueshen arrived at Jiang Xi's yard and knocked on the door. The moment Jiang Xi saw her, he paused, and there was a strange emotion in his eyes, which he quickly covered up.
"What are you here for?"
Jiang Xue looked hurt for a moment: "Fourth brother has been very cold to me during this period. I know that many things have made fourth brother misunderstood before. These days, I have been thinking a lot by myself."
"Fourth brother said before that he would give me one last chance, but it still counts."
After Jiang Xi heard what she said, he just stared into her eyes: "I said I would give you one last chance, so of course I meant it."
Otherwise, it would be impossible for two people to talk peacefully here.
Jiang Xue breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"If this is the case, can Fourth Brother please stop treating me like this? Fourth Brother is so cold to me now, and I feel very sad in my heart."
She didn't wear much, her nose was red from the cold, and there were tears in her eyes. She frowned slightly and looked at her pitifully tight figure.
Jiang Xi seemed to be moved by her words, and he asked tentatively: "Then what do you want?"
"I don't want anything else, but every year when the New Year is approaching, my fourth brother would go shopping with me on the street, buy me bunny candy paintings, and set off firecrackers with me, but this year..."
As she said that, she took out the handkerchief again, tears ready to fall, but the handkerchief just blocked the flash of calculation in her eyes.
Fourth brother used to suffer from his own tricks the most, but I wonder if they are still working now.
When Jiang Xi heard what she said, he also thought of the past.
In the past, he loved Jiang Xue in every possible way, even though she was a little younger than him. He regarded her as more important than himself, to the point where she was truly scared to death when holding her in his hands.
But now that Jiang Li has only been back for more than half a year, many things seem to have changed.
He coughed lightly: "It will be the same this year. I'll change my clothes and go with you."
After Jiang Xue heard this, she couldn't hide the joy on her face: "Thank you, fourth brother!"
Jiang Xue was secretly happy and naturally didn't notice the strange look on Jiang Xi's expression when he turned around.
——
The two of them walked to the street together. Jiang Xi bought Jiang Xue her favorite rabbit candy painting as usual, and took her to set off firecrackers, as well as the things from previous years. Jiang Xi bought them one by one.
This was the case for the two of them in previous years.
I still remember that when Jiang Xue first came to Jiang's house, she didn't answer any questions. It can be said that she didn't know anything about her previous memories.
At that time, Jiang Xi actually didn't like her either.
After the little Jiang Xi learned that his sister was missing, he was very sad at that time. His mother suddenly brought back a baby girl and said that this would be his sister from now on.
The little Jiang Xi couldn't accept it at all, so he mostly treated Jiang Xue with cold eyes.
In the first year that Jiang Xue came to the Jiang family, almost everyone except Mrs. Jiang was not welcome. Jiang Xue also lived a miserable life at that time.
I remember that at the end of the second year, it snowed heavily. Jiang Xue and Jiang Xi were only four years old. The snow was very thick and the road was a little unstable.
Jiang Zhou asked Jiang Xi to play with Jiang Xue, but Jiang Xi didn't take it seriously at all. Jiang Xue somehow ran out of the Jiang Mansion alone, or after a long time, the servants couldn't find anyone. find.
Only then did Jiang Xi realize that he might have gotten into trouble, and he felt uneasy. He remembered that Jiang Li had been lost like this before, so he ignored the obstruction and the little Jiang Xi insisted on following them out to look for her.
When she found her, Jiang Xue didn't know who had hit her, and her face was bruised. Some children thought it was fun and kept hitting her with snow.
Jiang Xue didn't know how to resist, so she huddled in the corner, looking pitiful.
At that time, Jiang Xi suddenly thought about whether Jiang Li would encounter the same situation after leaving the protection of his family. The little Jiang Xi didn't know what this sour feeling meant, and he just felt uncomfortable.
The servant scolded the children around him. When Jiang Xue saw him coming to find her, she was obviously beaten severely, but she still smiled at him with her eyes bent.
Spread out in the tender palm, there is a bunch of broken sugar paintings, vaguely in the shape of a rabbit.
The little Jiang Xue just squatted in the corner and shrank, handing the string of sugar paintings in her palm to Jiang Xi.
After Jiang Xue returned to her home, she fell seriously ill. After this incident, Jiang Xi's attitude towards her became much better.
Later, every year at the end of the year, Jiang Xi would take Jiang Xue out to play and buy her a candy bunny painting.
Jiang Xue was gradually accepted by the Jiang family, and slowly became their apple, becoming the most distinguished young lady in Qingzhou...
——
When they were almost done shopping, Jiang Xue gave everything in her hand to the attendant, holding only the bunch of sugar paintings, and said casually: "Fourth brother, I heard that the house in the alley in the west of the city is quiet and quiet. Very, there is nothing better than enjoying the snow.”
"With the weather like this, why don't we go enjoy the snow and make tea."
Jiang Xi looked at Jiang Xue standing next to him and felt uncomfortable in his heart. He said in a calm tone: "The house in the west alley of the city was given to Ah Li by my mother."
Jiang Xue didn't feel the emotion in his words, holding the candy painting in her hand: "We're not going to do anything. I think sister won't mind."
Jiang Xi only felt a little bitter, narrowed his eyes, and finally responded: "Okay."
When did the sister he raised since childhood start to change...
