sky-high engagement

Chapter 403
Xiao Zhendong wanted to see Xiao Nanye, of course not to beat him up again.

When going up, Xiao Moqing patted Xiao Nanye on the shoulder at the stairs and said, "Go! Talk to grandpa."

Seeing Xiao Moqing, Xiao Nanye guessed that the purpose of the old man calling him over must be related to the person he mentioned at the dinner table.

The grandpa and grandson closed the door and talked for a long time in the study.

"Grandpa, can I come in?" When Su Mo knocked on the door and went in, seeing that Young Master Xiao was intact, the stone in his heart dropped.

She brought the noodles in, put them in front of Xiao Zhendong, twisted her fingers a little awkwardly and said: "Grandpa, I just learned it from Aunt Liu, try it."

"You did it?" Xiao Zhendong believed what she said when he saw the irregular knife skills in the bowl.

He picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, and immediately realized that it was different from Aunt Liu's noodles. After a few more mouthfuls, he said to her, "The noodles are not chewy enough, so don't be lazy when kneading the noodles."

After finishing speaking, I realized that Su Mo was beaten today and hurt his arm, probably because of this reason.

I thought she was going to bring up this reason, but who knows that this girl is so cute and silly, she nodded vigorously and said: "Well, I know Grandpa, I will make it for you next time."

Xiao Zhendong paused with the chopsticks of the noodles, looked up at Xiao Nanye, "Stupid people are blessed."

Su Mo looked blankly at Xiao Zhendong, then at Xiao Nanye, who was resting all day, and nodded half understanding, "Oh!"

Anyway, what grandpa said is right, you can neither doubt nor refute, otherwise you will be beaten again.

Seeing her simple, honest and dull appearance, Xiao Zhendong suddenly became in a good mood, and the gloom accumulated all afternoon disappeared.

He waved his hand to the person standing in front of him stupidly and said, "Okay, stop standing there, go out if you have nothing to do!"

After the old man had spoken, Xiao Nanye got up and walked over, holding Su Mo's hand, "Let's go! Go back and rest."

Young Master Xiao had been thinking about going back to rest, but Su Mo still remembered something else, so he quickly grabbed Xiao Nanye and said, "Wait, we haven't paid grandpa New Year's greetings yet!"

Xiao Nanye thought that if she was not allowed to worship this year, she would definitely not be able to obediently go back with him, so she let her go.

Su Mo was dissatisfied with Xiao Nanye's solitude, turned his head and glared at him, then walked up to Xiao Zhendong, bowed obediently and said, "Grandpa, Happy New Year! Momo wishes you good health and all the best!"

Seeing her cautious look, Xiao Zhendong/suddenly wanted to tease her.

He put down his chopsticks and looked at her deliberately with a serious face, his eyes seemed to see through her thoughts, "I can't help but want to cheat the old man for the lucky money?"

After hearing this, Su Mo quickly waved his hands and explained, "No, Grandpa, I don't."

Of course Xiao Nanye knew that the old man was deliberately teasing her, just like his grandfather, he knew that his little white rabbit was pure and cute, and he liked to bully her.

Seeing his wife being bullied, Xiao Nanye walked over with a dark face, grabbed Su Mo's hand and walked out.

"Grandpa, I really don't, don't be angry." Su Mo was dragged by Young Master Xiao, and kept turning around to explain, with a pitiful expression on his face.

Xiao Zhendong couldn't help laughing, and waved to those who had already walked to the door: "Come here."

Grandpa smiled, does it mean that he is not angry anymore?

Su Mo also wanted to come over, but Young Master Xiao wouldn't let her, and opened the door with a black face and was about to leave. If you let me come, come here. Think of it as calling a puppy!

Her own woman can only bully herself, Young Master Xiao is protecting her shortcomings.

Seeing that Xiao Nanye didn't intend to stop, Su Mo became anxious, and begged with one hand on the door, "Xiao Nanye, Grandpa has something to tell me."

Seeing her as worthless, Xiao Nanye looked at her coldly, "Are you going?"

"Xiao Nanye..."

With a long ending, Su Mo looked at him pitifully, "Xiao Nanye, just let me say a few words to Grandpa! Just a few words."

Just as Xiao Nanye was about to say no, the little loach in his hand had slipped away.

Deliberately acting coquettishly and pretending to be pitiful with him is actually to slip away, this cunning woman.

Xiao Nanye let out a cold 'hum', and wanted to threaten to leave, but he didn't take it seriously at all, and waved his hand and said, "Xiao Nanye, wait for me downstairs first, I'll find you later."

This girl is typical of killing donkeys, Xiao Xiao's face turned green when he was annoyed, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart, Su Xiaomo, you idiot, if you are bullied again later, don't come to me and cry.

In addition to the army stick, grandpa also has a horsewhip!
After seeing Xiao Nanye leave, Su Mo closed the door and walked over, only to be in front of him, so he felt a little belatedly apprehensive.

Holding the hem of the sweater with his fingers, he said awkwardly, "Grandpa, do you have something to tell me?"

While eating noodles, Xiao Zhendong pointed to the sofa next to her, "Sit down and talk."

"Oh!"

After Su Mo sat down, Xiao Zhendong continued eating noodles.

There are plenty of ingredients in this bowl of noodles. There are chicken, shrimp, green vegetables and wild rice stems, plus garlic and shallots, all of which are dishes he usually likes to eat, and the taste is also very suitable.

I'm afraid even Xiao Nanye's grandson doesn't know what his old man usually likes to eat?
If Aunt Liu didn't tell her these things, it meant that she really cared about his grandfather.

Thinking that this child was also bullied by his grandson and suffered great grievances, that's why he did such a thing, Xiao Zhendong suddenly felt a little guilty.

With deep love and deep responsibility, he actually felt very distressed when he hit her.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhendong put down his chopsticks, looked up at Su Mo and said, "Xiao Su! Would you mind sitting with my old man for a while longer?"

"No." Su Mo shook his head and said, "Grandpa, eat the noodles first. It won't taste good if it's cold. I'll walk around the room."

Xiao Zhendong nodded, and continued to eat his noodles.

When you are old, you can't digest well, and you can't eat too much. This is what my grandfather said when he was still alive, and Su Mo always remembers it.

So when she cooked the noodles just now, she put a lot of vegetables in it, but not many noodles.

Xiao Zhendong quickly ate up a bowl of noodles, put down his chopsticks and called Su Mo, "Xiao Su, come here."

Su Mo was originally looking at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall in the room, but when he heard the sound, he immediately walked over, took a wet towel from the coffee table and handed it to him to wipe his hands.

Xiao Zhendong wiped his hands, pushed the noodle bowl aside, lowered his head, took out a palm-sized wooden box from the desk drawer, pushed it in front of Su Mo and said, "There is no red envelope, this is a New Year's gift."

Although Su Mo said that he didn't want lucky money, he was very happy to have gifts to receive.

"Thank you, Grandpa." Su Mo smiled contentedly, and opened the wooden box Xiao Zhendong gave her. Inside was a piece of red silk and a white jade bracelet wrapped inside.

Because of Mr. Su's relationship, Su Mo has been fascinated by it since he was a child, and his love for antiques exceeds that of his peers.

Seeing the white jade bracelet in the wooden box, Su Mo's eyes lit up immediately, ignoring Xiao Zhendong who was still at the side, he picked up the bracelet and looked at it carefully.

Su Mo fell into the habit of appreciating antiques when she saw them. She fiddled with the bracelet in her hand, looking at it and said, "Look at this piece of jade. I have seen it in my collection room, and it seems to be an object from the Song Dynasty."

While looking at it, she used her hands to feel the lines on it, "The rich and noble flowers are blooming, and the peonies carved on it are so beautiful. Such jade wares were rare even at that time. They must be treasures of dignitaries." Bar!"

After speaking, he looked up at Xiao Zhendong, "Grandpa, are you going to give me such an expensive bracelet?"

Xiao Zhendong was really surprised by Su Mo's performance at such a young age, with such an in-depth understanding of jade wares. It can even be said to be amazing.

However, what his Xiao family is looking for is a hostess, not an antique connoisseur. If she only has this, it is not enough to entrust her with a heavy responsibility.

Seeing that Su Mo was still playing with the bracelet repeatedly, Xiao Zhendong asked her, "Do you dare to accept it?"

"Thank you, grandpa!" Su Mo thanked with a smile, took the bracelet and put it on her wrist. This is a New Year's gift from grandpa, why not?
If Young Master Xiao was here, he would definitely praise the woman's wit.

As for Xiao Zhendong, Su Mo's reaction surprised him again.

I remember that when she decided to give the bracelet to Ling Anan, she once refused, saying that the bracelet was of great significance and was too expensive, so she refused to accept it.

Compared with Ling An'an, Su Mo can be regarded as a domesticated little white rabbit at best, and she wears it on her hand without even thinking about the responsibility that her mother-in-law dare not take on.

The bracelet fit on Su Mo's wrist. It was not too big or too small. She liked the sound of hitting the jade. She happily raised her hand and kept flipping the bracelet with her fingers.

"This bracelet is so beautiful, I will show it to Xiao Nanye later." If you want to show the young master, if you don't come to pay grandpa New Year's greetings, what will you lose?
Her happiness seemed to be contagious, it was rare to see such a childish side of her, Xiao Zhendong smiled and shook his head, and asked her, "Do you know who this bracelet belongs to?"

Su Mo shook her head, then nodded again, she wanted to know who this bracelet belonged to before, so she looked at Xiao Zhendong with wide eyes.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhendong didn't intend to show off. He tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Your grandma's ancestor was a wealthy family. During Song Huizong's reign, there was a third-rank official. It is said that this bracelet was a reward from Song Huizong."

"Is it something from the palace?"

Su Mo opened his mouth wide in surprise, and looked at the two eyes of the bracelet, which were obviously brighter than before. "I know Song Huizong, he is very talented. When I was young, my grandfather asked me to practice his thin gold body."

This is not the first time she mentioned her grandfather, last time when she was making tea, and when she was playing chess, Xiao Zhendong asked her curiously, "You also learned your ability to appreciate antiques from your grandfather?"

"Uh-huh."

Su Mo nodded vigorously and said: "When I was a child, there was a collection room at home, and there were all grandpa's treasures in it. Every time he heard that there were good things, he would take me there with him."
