When the marching music sounded, the long-awaited military parade finally began.
When a group of soldiers slowly appeared in front of the camera, the little fellow finally saw what she liked to see.
So, she jumped out of Chen Xi's arms again.
She ran to the steps of the west wing, raised her head and stuck out her chest, waved her arms and kicked her legs, trying to imitate the handsome appearance of soldiers.
The little fellow's little face was tense, and she wanted to pretend to be serious.
But her cute little appearance still made Chen Xi laugh.
There were only the father and daughter in the big yard, but it didn't seem empty at all, because it was full of their laughter.
The little fellow was playing happily, but at this time, Chen Xi's phone rang.
He took out his mobile phone and found that it was not a call, but a video call from Aunt Zhang.
Seeing this, Chen Xi immediately connected the video call, and then waved to the little fellow.
"Hey, you little brat, don't you know how to send a text message to me during the festival? Do you have to let me take the initiative to greet you? "
As soon as the video call was connected, Chen Xi was about to greet Aunt Zhang, but what greeted him was Aunt Zhang's teasing.
Seeing this, Chen Xi immediately raised his hands and surrendered. He quickly pointed the camera at the little fellow and used her as a shield.
"Grandma! Grandma! I miss you so much! "
As soon as the little fellow saw that it was Aunt Zhang on the other side of the video, she immediately waved her little hand wildly at the camera.
Looking at her excited and happy appearance, Aunt Zhang really fell into the trap.
Therefore, she didn't have time to complain about Chen Xi anymore. Instead, she smiled and said, "Aiyo, my good granddaughter, grandma misses you too. When are you going to let dad bring you to Rong City to play again?"
Hearing this, the little fellow immediately turned to look at Chen Xi and asked, "Papa, when are we going to see grandma? I miss grandma. "
After hearing their conversation, Chen Xi couldn't help laughing.
How long had it been since they came back from Chengdu?
Aunt Zhang was still blaming him for wasting money last time, but he didn't expect that she would take the initiative to let them go this time.
It seemed that Aunt Zhang couldn't leave the little fellow.
Thinking of this, Chen Xi held the little fellow in his arms and said to her, "Come, Niannian, let me say a few words to grandma …"
The little fellow nodded obediently, and Chen Xi pointed the camera at himself.
After greeting Auntie Zhang, he said mysteriously, "Auntie Zhang, take a look. Where is this?"
While talking, Chen Xi slowly turned the camera.
After slowly scanning the courtyard with the camera, he turned the camera back to himself.
"Hey, this is … Sihe Courtyard? Have you found Yingying?! "
Auntie Zhang had lived in this place for ten years, so she was very familiar with it.
Therefore, she immediately asked excitedly, "Where's Yingying? "Let me see that girl …"
Chen Xi shook his head helplessly and sighed. "We haven't seen her yet. Maybe it was a bad time. When we came, there was no one at home, so I just brought Niannian here and planned to wait for her here."
"You haven't seen her?"
After hearing this, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but change her expression.
In fact, she really hoped that Chen Xi could find Yingying.
After all, she had been with Chen Xi for a while, and she recognized Chen Xi very much.
She didn't tell Chen Xi where Yingying's house was because she wasn't familiar with Chen Xi and wasn't sure what kind of person he was.
On the other hand, she promised Yingying that she wouldn't tell Chen Xi.
She didn't reveal any information, but Chen Xi still found her, so she couldn't be blamed.
Therefore, Aunt Zhang's first reaction was to be happy for them.
However, she didn't expect Chen Xi to still not see Yingying.
Where did that child go?
Was she still angry with Mr. Qin?
Aunt Zhang was lost in her thoughts as she thought about it.
Chen Xi waited for a while, but Aunt Zhang didn't say anything.
After hesitating for a while, he asked carefully, "Aunt Zhang, do you know Qin Yongyan?"
"Huh?"
Aunt Zhang was stunned. She didn't seem to hear him clearly.
Seeing this, Chen Xi could only raise his voice and ask again, "I mean … you know Qin Yongyan, right?"
"Of course I know him. Mr. Qin is Yingying's father …"
Hearing this, Chen Xi was a little excited. Just as he was about to say something, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but let out a long sigh. She asked with a complicated expression, "Yingying hasn't told you about her family, right?"
"No. Every time I asked, she was a little unhappy, so I didn't dare to ask too much."
"Sigh, so that's how it is …"
Hearing this, Aunt Zhang immediately let out a long sigh, then slowly sighed and said, "Since you've already found her house, then I'll tell you …"
"Okay!"
Hearing Auntie Zhang's words, Chen Xi immediately sat up in excitement.
Aunt Zhang was finally willing to tell him about Yingying's family!
How could he not be excited?
When Auntie Zhang saw his reaction, she smiled in relief.
After thinking for a while, she slowly spoke.
"I remember the first time I met Yingying, she was only eight years old.
"She's actually quite pitiful. Her mother passed away early, so Mr. Qin asked me to take care of her.
"As for me, I've been a nanny for ten whole years … not counting this little one."
Aunt Zhang smiled and pointed at the little one in Chen Xi's arms. Then, she continued, "Yingying is different from other children. She's been very sensible and independent since she was young. She doesn't cry, throw tantrums, or cling to people. I basically only need to cook for her every day. I don't have to worry about her life too much.
"Mr. Qin is also quite an easy-going person, so this nanny job is quite easy and enjoyable.
"Unfortunately, good times don't last long. When Yingying was thirteen, Mr. Qin was transferred to work abroad, so he couldn't be with her every day.
"Think about it, a thirteen-year-old girl who lost her mother when she was young and her father wasn't by her side every day. How pitiful is that?
"At that time, I often asked her why she didn't live abroad with Mr. Qin.
"Speaking of which, that girl was also strange. She would rather be separated from her father than go abroad. She always said that it was better here, but she didn't want to leave.
"There were only three of us in this house. Mr. Qin didn't lack money and didn't rent out the more than ten empty rooms. So when he was transferred, the house became much quieter.
"In the years after that … it was just the two of us living in the compound you're living in now. Mr. Qin would only come back during the holidays, and every time, he would come and go in a hurry."
"In a flash, ten years have passed.
"I watched Yingying go to primary school, middle school, and high school. I was even the one who attended the parent-teacher conference for her …
"When she graduated from high school, Mr. Qin was finally transferred back to China. At that time, my mission was completed, so I planned to go back to Chengdu.
"You don't know, but on the day I left, that girl insisted on sending me to the airport. She cried so hard. I've lived with her for so many years, but I've never seen her cry like that. Sigh …"
At this point, Aunt Zhang's eyes also turned red.
She couldn't help but cry.

She was still writing at three in the morning …
Happy Christmas Eve.
