Chapter 723 Extra Story 4 Hugging Left and Right Like a Family Portrait
Cao's Hutong, a small courtyard
"This is Tiga, this is Dyna, Gaia, Aguru... This is the original Ultraman, Seven, Leo..."

Cao Yang, who just entered the first grade, excitedly showed off his collection to his eldest brother Cao Xian who came to the house for the first time——

There are large glass cabinets full of three walls, and nearly a hundred hand-made models of Ultraman, large and small.

I don't know if it's because of strong genes, but Cao Xuan's three children are more or less a bit of collectors.

Cao Yang was still young, and he liked to collect his own toys. Because he loved Ultraman, he was very keen on some Ultraman toys, cards, and models, and spent more than half of his lucky money and pocket money on them.

Cao Li is quite special. She likes to collect other people's things related to her, such as photos with her classmates, gifts from others, classmate records written for her, greeting cards and other items.

Cao Xian is most like Cao Xuan, he never rejects anyone who comes, as long as he likes or is interested in things, he will collect some if he is capable, and his mentality is more Buddhist than his father's, everything goes with fate, and he doesn't force it.

"Very well, this time I know what you gave you for your birthday."

Cao Xian is like a big brother, Cao Yang scratched his head: "I like those sneakers too, you can actually give them twice, one for birthday and one for Children's Day."

Cao Xian: "..."

Cao Li: "..."

But Boss Cao is still "waiting for crimes", and his family status is at the lowest point in history. In addition to facing two children at home, he can still pretend to be a father. In front of other people, he is either a son or a grandson. .

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, Cao Xian's school is also on vacation, and he is about to return to Korea.

Zeng Li was dragging the Cao Li siblings who were rushing to the dining table to wash their hands, and when he turned his head, he saw the grandpa and grandson holding hands. His gaze was slightly fixed, but he recovered in an instant, and he greeted with a smile.

The words from the East and West Palaces, plus the fact that it was related to the health of the old lady, Cao Xuan could only pick up the child.

All kinds of reasons are his faults, so if there is any anger, it will be directed at him. As long as the family is harmonious, he can bear the "sudden fire".

"Don't play for too long, go to bed by then."

However, Cao Xuan was obviously a little unfounded.

Leaving aside the children themselves on this point, the adults have a certain tacit understanding.

courtyard, restaurant

Although she didn't understand it very well, she vaguely felt that her big brother seemed to have awakened some extraordinary attributes.

The elderly in the family are healthy and the world is peaceful, which is why the East and West Palaces are willing to make concessions.

By the way, the courtyard where your sister lives is right behind you. Your younger brother is not as courageous as your sister, so he doesn’t dare to live by himself for the time being. He is still living in the main courtyard, which is close to me and your aunt Hu. I think he will move to your place later. side. "

"Come on, this will be your room from now on, and you will live here when you come home. Everything on the bed is newly bought. Look at what is missing, and I will make it up for you later."

The right and the left are treated equally, caring for the east will never lose the west, caring for the west will immediately compensate the east, and a bowl of water is so safe...

"Brother, what are you looking at?"

Cao Li is not used to his younger brother at all: "Brother, you don't need to comfort him, just tell him the truth."

The two children are still very attached to Cao Xian, the eldest brother, and the adults have always deliberately kept them from mixing in the adults' world, and even deliberately promoted the matchmaking, the relationship between the three is very good.

After fighting for a while, Hu Jing lay on the sofa grinding her teeth with a flushed face, and Mistress Nishinomiya was also innocently dragged into the battle, holding a mirror to look at her slightly broken lips.

"It's not junk!"

The largest three-entry main courtyard is the main living place. Cao Xuan and the East and West Second Palaces live in the middle courtyard of the main courtyard. Cao Yang also lives here. The old couple live in the back yard, and the front yard is some functional rooms.

The word "big" has an obvious logical accent, and Cao Xuan smiled coyly: "The yard is a bit empty, I'm afraid he will live by himself, so take him there to have a look."

The courtyard of Cao Li and Cao Xian is next door to the main courtyard, the area is smaller than the main courtyard, and it will be the residence of their three siblings in the future.

Cao Xuan confessed that he left the three children to play by themselves and returned directly to the main courtyard.

This may also have something to do with the situation of the two.

The main reason is that they are afraid that there will be conflicts between the two parties. When the time comes, the child will feel wronged, and the East and West Palaces will be unhappy. When the new year is coming, the whole family will not have a good time during the New Year.

Seeing this, Cao Xuan was a little disappointed. He had been happy for several days when he had his own yard, but he didn't expect his son to be so calm, which made him feel unfulfilled.

Looking at his younger siblings who were diametrically opposed to each other and wanted to support him, Cao Xian suddenly felt that the days of being an only child were pretty good.

"Learn what?"

Zeng Li is relatively more relaxed. He even sent food and clothes before, and his attitude towards the children is also very kind. He takes care of everything when he comes home.

Cao Xuan and Dongxi Ergong couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. With their status and wealth, they don't have many troubles. The few people who are the same as ordinary people are the old people.

"I don't need him to remember."

Cao Xian looked serious: "Study!"

"You should pay more attention to the way our dad treats the two aunts. In the future, if you meet a boy who behaves like this, except for me and our dad, other people will let him go as far as he can."

Hu Jing sneered and kicked the water towards Cao Xuan with the back of her foot: "This life is bad enough, we don't want to meet you again in the next life."

Before coming here, he had already made mental preparations. Whether it was a child or the Second Palace of East and West, he always felt ashamed.

There is nothing else in Cao’s Hutong except that there are the most rooms. Although this time is a special situation, Cao Xian may not come here often in the future, but after all, it is his own family. Cao Xuan bought a room for him, and the East and West Palaces are all gone. see.

The two of them reached an agreement, but Cao Xuan had some concerns.

Cao Yang had a simple and honest face: "Dad taught me, don't be entangled in making choices about some things, the correct way is to have everything."

Now seeing the grandson and family reunion, the joy and gratification dilute the depressed mood, and I feel that the life is moving forward again, and the mood is better.

In the middle of the night, it is definitely not possible to push the child back to sleep by himself, so he will stay at home tonight, and there is a high probability that he will stay for another day tomorrow to accompany Sun Lan and his wife, and then take Cao Xuan's private jet to send him to Korea at night.

Taking his son around for a while, Cao Xuan pointed to the main room and the west wing.

Although the Cao Family Hutong compound is large, the Cao family has a limited population, and there are not many places where they actually live.

Cao Yang was so angry that he protested strongly against Cao Li's evaluation, and then looked to his elder brother to confirm.

Of course, this is the best way, Cao Xuan wished that the two sides could coexist in such a friendly way, and no matter how regrettable it was, he would not be so cheap as to provoke troubles himself.

Cao Xian is a young and mature child, knowing his status in this family, so he is very sensible and well-behaved.

"Grandpa, let's go."

Not only was her mood depressed for a long time, she even fell ill after New Year's Day even though she was always in good health.

Cao Shuangguo didn't expect to be caught by his daughter-in-law when he got close to his eldest grandson. Hearing this, he hurriedly let go and took the three grandchildren to wash their hands.

The reason for making an exception today is actually because of Sun Lan.

Cao Xian's identity is very sensitive, and the East and West Palaces are more of a tacit attitude, which does not prevent Cao Xuan and his two sons and daughters from contacting him, and even sends some things, but the two do not represent the two people's understanding of this matter. "Cheap Son" accepts it.

Hu Jing was sitting on the sofa soaking her feet with a foot bath bucket, seeing him come back, she smiled coldly.

"Don't, what's the point of living without you, not to mention the next life, I'll have to depend on you two for the next life."

Seeing the embarrassed figure of the old man, Zeng Li pursed his lips, but didn't say anything.

It’s impossible not to go back, Korea also celebrates the Spring Festival, the eldest princess keeps urging, the old president of Samsung misses his grandson...

Seeing that the tone of the East and West Second Palace was a bit wrong, Cao Xuan hurriedly coaxed: "I remember, I will remember, I will remember your great kindness, benevolence and righteousness in my heart, and I will be your cow and horse in the next life. "

The East and West Second Palaces would not target a child, especially in front of parents-in-law.

In fact, at the beginning, the three children were not as close as sisters as soon as they met. Cao Xian, the eldest brother, has paid a lot.

"I know you have to show off your rags again, and I don't like this."

Zeng Li put on the mask, looking at the mess, he was quite speechless, and directly hid aside: "You guys drag it on your own later."

The condition is not serious, but the recovery has not been ideal. The main reason is that the old lady is sad about the death of her brother and sister. In addition, she is getting older, and she is a little worried about the instinct of life and death. After repeated stimulation, she is in a very bad mood and recovers Also slow.

For him, the house is at his fingertips. At this time, he is more interested in the architectural features of the courtyard and designing his own yard. Other emotions such as surprise and excitement are not high.

This dinner was very rich, with eight cold and eight hot soups, dessert and fruit after the meal.

Cao Xuan was also very grateful for this. During the meal, he served his two wives with vegetables and soup. He praised Zeng Li for cooking the soup himself, and praised Hu Jing for the delicious seafood that he specially bought. Thank them thoughtfulness and generosity.

For having a courtyard of his own, Cao Xian accepted it well.

After dinner, Cao Xuan took Cao Xian to see his room.

In April last year, Cao Xuan's aunt died unexpectedly, and in December, Cao Xuan's uncle died of illness.

Old Comrade Cao had been watching him, patted his head when he saw this, took the initiative to take the hand of the eldest grandson, and went to the main courtyard.

The successive deaths of brothers and sisters, and the loss of her closest natal family, dealt a great blow to Sun Lan.

"Does our father know that you are so greedy?"

"Make arrangements for your precious eldest son."

If Cao Xian is picked up at this time, the family will have a reunion "New Year's Eve dinner", which will not only show the attitude of the two of them, but also be a good comfort to Sun Lan. Recovery may also be beneficial.

It is said to be a room, but in fact, once you enter the courtyard, the bedroom is in the east wing. The layout is one inside and one outside. The area is about 40 square meters. The outside is a courtyard, and the inside is modern and newly decorated, which is exquisite and comfortable.

After all, Hu Jing was Cao Xuan's first lover, she was full of confidence, and hated this "bad fate" deeply. Zeng Li was somewhat disgraceful at the beginning, and because of her personality, she was more tolerant.

"Brother, tell him, do you like Ultraman?"

"These two places are also yours. You go back and think about their usefulness. Use them if you can. If you can't use them, I'll change them for you.

Cao Shuangguo came over with his hands behind his back to call a few children, Cao Li and Cao Yang left while arguing, Cao Xianluo was the last to close the door and smiled at Cao Shuangguo.

Zeng Li, who was slapping the mask on his face, told about his arrangements. The child is still young, and it is a bit stressful to live in a yard by himself, and the adults are not at ease.

Since Cao Xian came to China last year, he has never set foot in Cao's Hutong for more than half a year.

"My father is right."

This is also normal, and the main thing is not a serious illness.

After washing their hands, the family sat down to have dinner together, and Sun Lan also came out of the backyard room. Although she didn't show anything special, judging from the external performance, the old lady's mental state was much better than before.

"Xiaoxian, take your younger siblings to wash their hands."

Hu Jing was relatively colder, she was similar to Zeng Li on the surface, but in private she was a little bit annoyed with this child, although she didn't target the child, she often stabbed Cao Xuan in a strange way.

Even though the Cao family is not short of money, there are only a few people in the family, and they are not so extravagant. It is more to welcome Cao Xian + reunion dinner in advance.

Cao Li was still confused, Cao Xian didn't want to say more, but remembering that this is his own sister, he still made a point.

Cao Li is a little bit more knowledgeable, and at first he was somewhat resistant to Cao Xian, but after getting to know Cao Xian slowly, he discovered Cao Xian's strengths, and also found that adults don't dislike playing with them, so he gradually recognized this brother.

"Stop messing around, let's eat."

"go quickly."

Thinking of meeting Aunt Hu and Aunt Zeng just now, Cao Xian was a little thoughtful. He seemed to have vaguely understood how he should deal with the relationship between Japanese female classmate Natsu Hosokawa and Norwegian female classmate Sovia.

After all, he grew up in a Samsung mansion since he was a child. Although the apartment where he lives as a student is not big, it is 140 square meters.

Therefore, whether it was Cao Li or Cao Xian who moved in today, Zeng Li had arranged for a nanny to live in the same courtyard for the convenience of taking care of them.

As New Year's Eve was approaching, seeing that Sun Lan was still in a bad mood, the East and West Second Palaces discussed whether they should take Cao Xian home to coax her.

"If you are a good person, people may not remember it."

"It's okay, I made an agreement with Xiao Liu, she will go to sleep in that yard tonight."

Cao Xuan didn't dodge either, grabbed Hu Jing's feet, and started to fiddle with them. The empress of Donggong was afraid of tickle, and she couldn't care less about being angry, so she struggled to hit him.

So no matter how they feel in their hearts, everyone is still very harmonious on the surface, so that Cao Xuan still has a little regret, thinking that his "fearless sacrifice spirit" of self-sacrifice and family is a bit useless.

Cao Xian kept his eyes on his father's every move, and Cao Li next to him was a little curious.

Fortunately, Cao Yang has never had an older brother. He has been bullied by his elder sister since he was a child. He is young and not very sensible, so he easily accepted this gentle and amiable elder brother.

Cao Li was stunned, but Cao Xian seemed to be quite educated, wishing he could take a small notebook and write it down on the spot: "You don't understand, there is a lot of knowledge here."

The two brothers were chatting lively, when Cao Li with ponytails pushed the door in and glared at his younger brother Cao Yang angrily.

After a while, Cao Li and Cao Yang came here to play with the eldest brother, and dragged him to the gaming room to play computer games.

Treating Cao Xian, the attitudes of the East and West Palaces are generally the same, and there are still some light and heavy ones in private.

.........

Although Sun Lan and his wife have always been not close to their eldest grandson, it is more because of the embarrassment of their daughters-in-law that they are hurting in their hearts, and it is even more or less a knot in their hearts.

Although Cao Xuan was ordered by the two to pour footwashing water and mop the floor afterwards, his face was beaming, and he hummed a little tune on the way to put the children to bed.

"I believe hard work will make it
I believe love makes both

can't wait to hug left and right

Hugging left and right like a family portrait
......"
