Ding ding ding.
Xiao Zheng was woken up by the intense ringing of his phone. He picked it up and saw that it was Ye Canghua.
Perhaps he was led astray by Elder Lin, Xiao Zheng didn't have much respect for Ye Canghua, a proper elder. Of course, Ye Canghua didn't put on any airs. He often put his arm around Xiao Zheng's shoulder and called him brother.
If it was in the past, Xiao Zheng might have hung up right away and gone back to sleep before calling Ye Canghua. But now, he had firsthand information about his mother-in-law. Xiao Zheng still gave her the most basic respect.
"Old Ye." Xiao Zheng rubbed his eyes and leaned against the bed. "What's up?"
The person on the other side of the phone paused, then smiled and said, "Did I disturb your rest?"
It was his mother-in-law's voice …
Xiao Zheng's scalp went numb. He sat up straight and was no longer sleepy.
Ye Canghua was Old Ye.
Ye Yuhua could also call her Old Ye.
It was just that the difference between before and after was a little too big. Xiao Zheng couldn't say it out loud.
He quickly came back to his senses and said, "Mother-in-law, why are you up so early?"
After asking, he felt that it was nonsense.
How could he not know that his mother-in-law woke up early?
He shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Yes. I just had morning tea with the old man. "Ye Yuhua smiled gently. "Are you free today? The old man wants to invite you over for a meal. "
"I'll go as long as you do it," Xiao Zheng joked heartlessly. "I won't hide it from you. The Ye Residence is great, but the food isn't to my taste."
Xiao Zheng was the first person in history to be picky when eating at the Ye Residence.
Of course, Xiao Zheng said all this nonsense just to say a few more words to his mother-in-law. He didn't really dislike the food at the Ye Residence.
"Sure." Ye Yuhua smiled. "Tell me what you want to eat."
"I'll eat whatever you make. I'm not a picky eater. "Xiao Zheng acted obediently and asked. "Mother-in-law, have you been living in the Ye Residence these days?"
"En." Ye Yuhua smiled gently. "I haven't talked to Old Master all these years. Consider it an apology. "
He said that he wanted to chat with the old master and apologize. Actually, that was not entirely true.
Ye Fenghuang descended the mountain.
During this period of time, the doorsill of the Ye Residence was almost worn down. They were all old friends who could be seen in public. No one dared to disturb her when she was still on the mountain. But since he had returned to the secular life and returned to the Ye Residence. Ye Fenghuang had to see her.
Xiao Zheng could also think of this, so he didn't want to disturb his mother-in-law.
After chatting for a while, Xiao Zheng got up to wash up, put on his clothes, and went out.
Today was the weekend, but Elder Lin had a few emergency meetings to host. Therefore, he went out early. A sandwich was left on the table, and a note was left on it. The handwriting was meticulous and not at all graceful. Instead, it was extremely sharp: Don't eat cold food.
Four words and a sandwich were enough to show how meticulous Elder Lin was in his life.
Xiao Zheng had a basic requirement for food, but it wasn't too high. In addition, the food conditions overseas were limited. He often had to eat when he was hungry, so he didn't really care about hot or cold. Elder Lin noticed Xiao Zheng's bad habit, so he would occasionally remind him. Of course, Elder Lin had a sense of propriety in this area. He wouldn't say it every now and then, but would occasionally mention it to let Xiao Zheng know what to do.
After finishing the sandwich, Xiao Zheng brought the gift to the Ye Residence.
He hadn't been to the Ye Residence for a while, so Xiao Zheng felt a little awkward. After all, Elder Ye had helped in the anti-terrorist operation. No matter how close they were, he still had to show his respect.
If he went early, he could chat with the old master and show his respect.
After driving into the courtyard, Xiao Zheng immediately saw Ye Canhua kicking rocks at the door with a cigarette in his mouth. He looked a little depressed. He seemed to have something on his mind.
However, when he saw Xiao Zheng drive in, he squeezed out a smile and went up to greet him.
"You're here so early?" Ye Canghua smiled and didn't help Xiao Zheng take the gift. She squinted her eyes and teased. "You've become a profiteer."
Xiao Zheng smiled. "These are all worthless things. Shouldn't you at least show some respect? "
After rejecting Ye Canhua's cigarette, Xiao Zheng looked at him. "Something on your mind?"
Ye Canhua didn't hide it and shook his head. "It's nothing. You'll know in a while."
"What is it?" Xiao Zheng's interest was piqued.
"My sister is leaving tomorrow," Ye Canhua said helplessly as he puffed out a mouthful of smoke.
"Where to?" Xiao Zheng was tongue-tied.
Didn't she already renounce asceticism? Was she going back to Feng Ming Mountain?
Xiao Zheng was a little anxious.
"Not Feng Ming Mountain." Ye Canhua saw through Xiao Zheng's thoughts and shook his head. "She said she's going to travel around the country. Look, isn't it still the same as becoming a monk? It's just that she used to cultivate, but now she's changed to an ascetic monk mode. "
Ye Canhua looked dejected. It was obvious that she had some complaints about Ye Yuhua not taking over the Ye family.
Xiao Zheng rubbed his eyebrows and said with a bitter smile, "My mother-in-law really can't stay idle for a day. Originally, she was discussing with Old Lin about moving to our house. "
Ye Canghua cast a sidelong glance at Xiao Zheng. "Are you sick?"
"Hmm?" Xiao Zheng was also stunned by Ye Canhua's scolding.
"With the relationship between my sister and my niece, if they live together, won't they bring disaster to you?" Ye Canhua rolled his eyes. "You're not usually this stupid, are you?"
Xiao Zheng shrugged. "It doesn't matter if they bring disaster, but it's more important to promote their mother-daughter relationship."
After a pause, he didn't dwell on this issue and continued to ask, "Didn't my mother-in-law say why she's looking around? There's no purpose? "
"Whether there's a purpose or not, I don't know for now." Ye Canhua said with a strange expression. "I only know that the old guy, Bai Wuxia, will follow her."
"Mother-in-law agreed?" Xiao Zheng was surprised.
They were both monks, so it was useless for outsiders to say anything. But now that the two of them had returned to secular life, if they stayed together like this … The meaning would be very different.
"She didn't agree or object," Ye Canhua said. "But we've survived those 20 years. Even if my sister objects, Bai Wuxia probably doesn't care. He still has to follow her. "
Xiao Zheng said with a bitter smile, "Uncle Bai really plans to go down the dark path."
"Actually, it's good to have him follow. At least the problem of safety is guaranteed. I don't have to worry about this. "Ye Canhua put out the cigarette butt and patted Xiao Zheng's shoulder. "Come, let's go in. The old man knows you're coming, so he's waiting in the living room. "
He didn't continue to pester Xiao Zheng to persuade Ye Yuhua. He also knew that ordinary people couldn't change his sister's decision. Even if he listened to Xiao Zheng's persuasion, it wouldn't be good. Fortunately, he let it go.
Xiao Zheng entered the living room and happened to run into Lord Ye drinking tea. Tang Yue sat on the side, peeling oranges and serving the old man.
"Lord Ye. You're getting more and more energetic. "Xiao Zheng greeted him and put the gift aside.
Lord Ye Smile said, "Come, accompany me for a game."
Recently, after being killed by Ye Yuhua, Lord Ye no longer humiliated himself, so that Ye Canhua wouldn't laugh at him.
Xiao Zheng's chess skills were good. He wasn't a master, but he wasn't bad either. He nodded and said with a smile, "Then you have to let me win."
Tang Yue said with a smile, "That's hard to say. Our master has been suppressing a bellyful of anger recently. "
