The thin-skinned Xu Erlang looked at his elder brother and then at his father. His mouth couldn’t help but Twitch a few times.

In the awkward atmosphere, Xu Qi ‘an cleared his throat and said, ”

“It smells so good. I think I can smell little sister lingyue’s cooking.

“Second uncle, I won’t rest until I’m drunk tonight.”

The awkward atmosphere was broken, and the three men tacitly hid the bag of green oranges by their side, pretending not to see it.

During this process, Xu Qi ‘an glanced at Erlang and saw that his expression had not changed. He had already concealed his embarrassment.

In the past two years, Erlang had grown a lot. When he hung himself in the old house while reciting poems. he was so terrified that he wanted to die on the spot when his family found out … Xu Qi ‘an thought of the past and felt emotional.

The three of them entered the residence and went straight to the inner hall.

The candles in the inner hall were bright, and a few ice dumplings were hanging under the eaves. The aroma of food floated out from the open door.

There were many servants coming and going in the inner courtyard, and a few pretty maidservants were added.

In the month he had been away from the capital, the Xu estate had bought many servants.

many people in the capital’s territory also froze to death. Their families happened to be short of servants, so your aunt asked the housekeeper to buy some servants from the kitchen. At least they had a way to live.

Second uncle Xu said.

Xu Qi ‘an nodded. Although her aunt was narrow-minded, prideful, and thought of herself as a little fairy, she had a lot of flaws. However, a woman who was pampered, carefree, and didn’t need to fight for favor couldn’t have a bad heart.

Lin ‘an was also an example. It was fortunate that Emperor Yuan jing had cultivated for many years and the palace lacked the soil for infighting. If one had lived in such an atmosphere for a long time, Lin’ an might not be as innocent and kind as it was now.

“It’s a year of great calamity, there’s nothing we can do.” Xu Qi ‘an turned his head and looked at Xu nianxin. He smiled and said, ”

“Then why didn’t Auntie buy a Tongfang for Erlang?”

haha! second uncle Xu laughed. the second son will be engaged to the first assistant Minister’s daughter in two months. Your aunt would not dare to offend the first assistant Minister’s daughter.

Xu cijiu furrowed his brows, a little displeased with his elder brother and father’s teasing.

As they spoke, the three of them entered the inner hall, where charcoal braziers for heating were placed in the four corners. There was a sumptuous spread of food on the table, all sorts of delicacies. This was clearly not the norm for dinner at the Xu residence.

His aunt and lingyue were sitting at the coffee table, while Xu lingying and Lina were sitting at the table, staring at the food.

“Lingying, don’t think about eating secretly. Wait for your big brother to come back before you eat.”

His aunt warned.

“Oh ~”

Xu Ling knelt on the stool, her small hands on the edge of the table. She reluctantly retracted her gaze and looked out of the hall, just in time to see the three masters return.

“Big brother!”

ah! the little boy shouted in anger. He jumped down from the stool, put his hands on his waist, and opened them behind him. He buried his head and rushed over aggressively.

Xu Pingzhi and Xu niannian stepped aside at the same time.

The little boy ran into Xu Qi ‘an’s arms.

Such great strength … He was taken aback as he examined his sister. It had only been a month since he last saw her, but there was basically no change. Well, if he had to say it, her face had become rounder.

It was like a round red apple.

This meant that the little Bean’s qi and blood were very strong.

Based on the collision just now, Xu Qi ‘an estimated that her strength was now in the ninth level of the spirit refining realm.

that’s too scary. When I was her age,. couldn’t stop shaking when. was in the horse stance … Xu Qian was shocked.

He touched Xu lingying’s head and glanced at the three women in the hall.

Xu lingyue had already seen Lina before. Lina’s skin was a little fairer. The one who had changed the most was her aunt. Her facial features were beautiful and exquisite, and her skin was fair and supple. Just by looking at her face, she didn’t look like a woman who had raised three children.

Was it the youth retaining pill from Yan Caiwei? The effect is really good. If it was in my previous life, I would have made a fortune. It’s a pity that I can’t go back … He thought with regret.

Aunty and lingyue walked up to him. The former glanced at her nephew to make sure that he was not missing an arm or a leg. Then, she raised her chin slightly and said in a reserved manner,

“You’re back!”

Suddenly, her nose twitched and she furrowed her delicate eyebrows.”It’s the smell of green and orange again. Why is it so strong?”

Second uncle Xu quickly took out the green orange in his hand and smiled without changing his expression.

“Green oranges can cure coughs. I bought them for Ling Ying. I ate one on the way here, so it’s quite flavorful.”

Xu lingying’s face fell when she heard that.

Second uncle Xu glared at him. what are you doing? come and get it.

Xu lingying’s two shallow brows furrowed as he held the bag of green oranges in his arms.

She looked at her father, then at the Qing ju in her arms. Her short and thick fingers fumbled around inside. There were only four, and she felt that she could still do it.

Her two shallow eyebrows smoothened.

“Cough, cough!”

Xu Erlang cleared his throat, took out the paper bag of butter he had hidden behind him, and handed it to Xu linging.

second brother was also afraid that you would cough …

Xu Ling was stunned. Xu Qi ‘an seemed to see a series of question marks above her head.

Xu Pingzhi and Xu niannian, who had thrown the hot potato to the child, sat down at the table in a good mood.

Xu Ling looked like she was about to cry.

Seeing this, Xu Qi ‘an couldn’t bear it, so he said, ”

“Lingying, big brother brought you a gift this time.”

The little boy immediately revealed a bright smile, like the clouds had dispersed and the snow had disappeared. He had forgotten all the unhappy things and said in a tender voice, ”

“Where’s the gift? where’s the gift, big brother?”

Xu Qi ‘an immediately took out the green orange that she had hidden behind her back and put it in the little Bean’s arms.

Xu lingying-

The poor child was stunned. He never thought that his father, big brother, and second brother would treat him like this.
