This stepmother is a bit crazy

Although I'm reluctant to give up, I can't help it.
In the chaotic era, he lost his wife early in life, his son died of illness, his wife ran away with someone, and his only grandson disappeared when he was three years old.

He is the only lonely old man left in their old Dong family.

With them for more than a year, his life has been much happier.

Previously, Goudan and his son had moved away, but now with their big family, he was the only one left in the end.

"Okay, in that case, you can keep the extra rent."

The old man returned the extra money to Zhang Dalan.

When Zhang Honghua saw this, she wanted to be polite to the old man.

Jiang Linran interrupted with a smile and invited the old man: "If you are free, come with us today to meet the way. At noon, I will make barbecue for everyone."

"Um···"

The old man clasped his hands behind his back, suppressed his immediate desire to agree, and deliberately thought for a few seconds: "Then let's go, I just don't have anything important to do today."

Jiang Linran and Zhang Dalan looked at each other and smiled.

Several people took a bus to Gardenia Lane.

Go to Jiang Linran’s house first.

Jiang Linran went in to pack his things and let the old man do what he wanted.

The old man was looking here and there in the yard with his hands behind his back.

Touching his chin, he was very satisfied with Jiang Linran's yard layout, especially the small hand-dug fish pond in the corner.

In the pond, among the small rockeries, there are about a dozen koi carps of different colors that are less than the thickness of a thumb.

The rockery is covered with moss, and an unknown wisteria hangs in the air, bearing small red fruits.

Along the way, there are several flowering trees planted. One of them, a snow willow tree that symbolizes a happy life, has already bloomed small flowers.

On the other side of the yard, there are red roses and pink roses.

"Sister, I'm back."

A clear child's voice sounded.

The old man turned his head and looked.

Next to Zhao Dakui, he saw a handsome boy of eight or nine years old walking in.

sister?The old man looked back at the room. He knew Jiang Linran and Zhang Dalan, Zhang Dalan's sister-in-law and uncle.

So his name is Xiaoran?
Why did she bring back such a big 'brother' after being away for more than a year?

For a moment.

Jiang Linran came out of the house.

Look at the various ingredients Zhang Dakui is carrying.

He asked in surprise: "How has everything been dealt with?"

"I have a lot of family members, so I can handle it quickly."

"I helped too."

Yumo said to Jiang Linran.

Jiang Linran touched his head: "I will reward you later."

The old man was on the side, looking at Yu Mo. He felt a little familiar inexplicably, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

Many people are powerful.

Here, the barbecue stove was set up, and Jiang Linran and Zhang Dalan prepared the simple juice and added honey.

Divide it into two portions, the larger portion with ice cubes is for adults, and the smaller portion is specially for children.

Over there, brothers Jiang Shan, Zheng Hao, Zhang Bing, the village chief and his wife came over with the Xiaotuo brothers and sisters.

When everyone arrived, everyone sat in the yard and started barbecue.

The old man sat next to Yumo and found that he didn't eat onions. Even if Jiang Linran left some onions specially for him, if he accidentally got a little bit on it, he would carefully pick it off with a bamboo skewer.

I don't think it's funny.

Suddenly, he remembered that his son was like this at that time.

Suddenly my heart softened, and when I saw some onions on it, I took the initiative to help him and get it off.

Zhou Zekai, who couldn't come in time, was finally able to leave the unit, take a quick shower, dress neatly, and comb his hair again and again in front of the mirror.

I took photos of the front, back, left and right several times. After I found no problem, I took a deep breath, took out my courage, and came to Zhao's house full of energy.

Walked outside the Zhao family courtyard.

The inexplicable silence in the small courtyard made his heart skip a beat, and he looked inside through the wall.

Suddenly, my hanging heart sank suddenly.Everything that the Zhao family had placed in the yard was gone.

Is it to avoid him?
This was Zhou Zekai's first thought, but he immediately realized that this was impossible.

They are such a big family, where can they go?

"Are you here to see Aunt Zhang and the others?"

A middle-aged woman passing by with a basket asked when she saw him standing there looking around.

"Yes, ask them"

"They moved, to Gardenia Lane. I heard they all bought houses there."

Gardenia Lane?

Zhou Zekai knew that all of them had houses there, but he didn't expect them to move out so quickly. He thanked them, came out and drove straight to Gardenia Lane.

Walking into the alley, a rich and familiar aroma comes to you.

Arrive at the door of Jiang Linran's house.

The courtyard door was open, and there were a lot of people standing and sitting in the courtyard, eating and chatting, and they were very happy.

Jiang Linran, wearing a red round-neck short-sleeved T-shirt and jeans, was sitting in front of the barbecue grill, flipping a handful of beef skewers.

"Little dye."

Zhang Dalan, who was the first to notice Zhou Zekai standing by the door, called Jiang Linran in a low voice.

Jiang Linran raised his head, and the lively atmosphere in the yard suddenly solidified and fell silent.

The two looked at each other.

Zhou Zekai was about to step in.

Zheng Hao ran over, spread his arms, and blocked the door. He was tall and stood on the threshold, barely taller than Zhou Zekai. He raised his chin and pointed his nostrils at him: "We don't welcome you, please leave." .”

Zhou Zekai's gaze passed over his shoulder, locking firmly on the person he hadn't seen for a long time but who appeared in his dreams every night.

Jiang Linran looked at him for a moment and handed the beef skewers to Zhang Dalan.

Get up.

"I gonna go see."

Zheng Hao saw her coming and put his hand on her shoulder: "Ignore him and go back."

Jiang Linran took Zheng Hao's hand off his shoulder.

He raised the corners of his lips and smiled faintly.

"Don't worry, just go in, I'll be right in."

Zheng Hao then took back his hand, glared at Zhou Zekai fiercely, and took a step to the side to get out of the way.

Jiang Linran smoothed his hair, came out calmly and walked to the side of the courtyard gate.

Don't look at him either.

"Tell me, why are you here?"

He would feel better if Jiang Linran avoided him.

"Little dye."

There are many words, but at this moment, I can't say a word, and I don't know what to say.

His deep eyes fell greedily on her pretty face.

In just over a year, she seemed to have matured a lot, and her gentle brows and eyes had gained a bit of perseverance.

"If there's nothing important, I'll go in first, and please don't bother me again in the future."

Jiang Linran, who spoke calmly, turned around after speaking.

Zhou Zekai took her arm.

Jiang Linran lowered his eyes and looked at his hands, then slowly raised his chin and looked at him.

Zhou Zekai let go of his hand.

"I'm sorry, I... Xiaoran, I have a lot to say to you, can you give me a few minutes?"

Jiang Linran looked back into the yard.

"Sorry, I'm not free, and I don't want to hear what you have to say. If you want to lose face, don't appear in front of me again."

Hearing these extremely familiar words.

Zhou Zekai's heart sank to the bottom.
