Chapter 221 Poor Golden Coca
"Old Third, has this sycamore tree been in your house for a long time?"

Zhang Bo reached out and touched the trunk of the sycamore tree, which felt slightly rough.

"Well, this tree was planted by my great-grandfather, and it's been ninety-nine years now."

Xiao Xiao also walked forward and touched the bark of the tree, sighing with emotion.

"Chirp~"

A familiar voice suddenly came into Xiao Xiao's ears. Xiao Xiao looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was indeed a pigeon that was about to fly over with an excited look on its face.

Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly at Yu, and although Yu was confused, he slowly stopped.

"Chirp~"

The pigeon standing on the branch called happily to Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao smiled at the pigeon.

"Almost a hundred years old?!"

Zhuge Yun was very shocked and blurted out.

"Wow, that's awesome."

Zhao Luzheng's face was full of admiration as he looked up at the sycamore tree which did not look old at all even though it was nearly a hundred years old.

"Yes."

Zhang Bo also deeply agrees.

"Hey, what is this?"

Zhuge Yun's eyes turned and he saw a tree in another corner of the courtyard.

The tree has a slender trunk, strong branches, crisscrossing thin branches, and layers of green leaves, which makes it more delicate and elegant than the sycamore.

“This is a plum tree.”

"Plum tree?"

Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng also moved their positions to the side of the tree.

"Yes, Baimei."

"Wow, Third Brother, you have a plum tree at home."

“Is this tree also going to be a hundred years old?”

"do not know."

Seeing the confused expressions of Zhang Bo and others, Xiao Xiao slowly explained: "This white plum tree was picked up by my grandmother on the road. She took two years to keep it alive."

"Oh~"

……

"mom."

Xiao Xiao raised his head and looked at his mother who was about to walk into the yard.

"Hello auntie."

Zhang Bo and his companions immediately stopped looking around, returned to the center of the yard, and greeted Xiao's mother earnestly.

"Hello, it's rare for Xiaoxiao to bring classmates home."

Mother Xiao smiled and looked at Zhang Bo and the others with a loving look, "Come in quickly. You must be hot all the way here, right?"

"Go inside and cool off."

"What do you want to drink? What do you want to eat? Tell me."

"You are welcome."

"Thank you, aunt."

The three of them spoke in unison again and followed Xiao's mother into the house one after another.

Xiao Xiao was sensitive enough to notice that Zhang Bo and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but he didn't ask immediately. Instead, he said to Xiao's mother, "Mom, I'll take care of them."

"Yes, auntie, we are embarrassed by your politeness."

"Haha, okay, then feel free to do as you please. You can tell Xiaoxiao if you need anything."

"Well, thank you, aunt."

"Then Xiaoxiao, entertain your classmates. I'll go to the kitchen to cook first."

"Ok."

It was not until Xiao's mother walked into the kitchen that Zhang Bo and his companions' "human-like" image immediately collapsed, and they collapsed on the sofa with a spineless look.

"Ah, cool."

Zhuge Yun let out a comfortable sigh.

"What would you like to drink?"

"Just plain water will do."

Zhuge Yun said lazily.

"Hey, don't you want tea?"

Zhao Luzheng blurted out, "Third brother's family runs a teahouse. Why don't you drink tea when you come to Third brother's house?"
"Stupid, of course you have to go to the teahouse in front to drink tea to feel the flavor. What kind of tea do you want to drink now?"

Zhuge Yun rolled his eyes and spoke in a lecturing tone.

"Oh, that's right."

Zhao Luzheng suddenly realized. "Are there any ice ones?"

Zhang Bo tugged at his collar and closed his eyes, looking at the air outlet of the air conditioner with a look of enjoyment.

"Have."

……

"Gulu~Gulu~"

Zhang Bo and others took the water cups brought by Xiao Xiao and drank them all in one gulp.

"Phew, cool."

Zhang Bo wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth and spoke loudly.

……

"Well, now I have a question for you."

"Why did you all seem relieved when you stepped into my house earlier?"

Xiao Xiao was really puzzled about this.

"Uh, that..."

Zhang Bo and the other two looked at each other, and Zhuge Yun spoke as a representative, "Because we see that your yard is quite old, and we are worried that the decoration of your house is also quite old."

"ancient?"

After a moment of confusion, Xiao Xiao instantly understood what Zhang Bo and the others were thinking.

"Were you worried before that my house didn't even have air conditioning?"

Xiao Xiao said with a smile.

"Hehe~", Zhang Bo and others laughed awkwardly.

It's not their fault that they are so worried.

Whether it was the alley outside or the courtyard inside, they were almost the same as what they saw in TV dramas.

They couldn't help but start to worry that there might be traditional furniture such as octagonal tables and armchairs in the house. They even wondered if there was an altar table in Xiao Xiao's house?
So when they actually walked into the house and found that the decoration inside was completely different from what they had imagined, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Xiao Xiao's home is indeed full of ancient style, but it is only reflected in the accessories and ornaments, such as the antique display cabinet, screens, and even lampshades, which all have patterns of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.

However, some large pieces of furniture are still very modern, such as sofas, televisions, air conditioners, etc. Anyway, Xiao Xiao's family has everything that most people have.

It’s not that they hate Chinese-style furniture, but if they really want to live in it, they would definitely prefer modern furniture to be more comfortable.

……

"Okay, have you rested enough? I'll show you to your room and put your luggage away."

"We can eat soon."

"Then I'll take you to the front for tea in the afternoon."

"it is good."

……

"Hey, Lao San, is your fish still alive?"

After lunch, Zhang Bo and his friends wandered over to Xiao Xiao’s room.

Several people noticed the fish tank on the table at a glance.

Zhang Bo bent his fingers and knocked on the wall of the fish tank, which startled the emperor and caused him to run around in the fish tank, making the culprit look particularly happy.

"Old Three, you got another one?"

Zhuge Yun was the first to notice the light golden fish in the other fish tank.

"But, Third Brother, why do you need two big fish tanks for such small fish?"

Zhao Luzheng was confused, "Can't I just raise one?"

"I like."

Xiao Xiao was brief and to the point.

Zhang Bo and others: ...

"Okay, willful."

Zhuge Yun gave Xiao Xiao a thumbs up.

……

The moment he entered the room, Xiao Xiao heard a familiar voice.

“Chuckle~Chuckle~”

Xiao Xiao looked in the direction of the sound and saw two bighead carps with their mouths wide open, chasing after the golden tetra and playing around.
Well, maybe for the bighead carp, this is just a joke, but the golden tetra is almost scared to tears, right?

No matter how wide it opened its eyes, it still saw nothing, but it felt a dangerous aura following it.

It swam desperately, but the sense of danger did not ease at all.

What is chasing it?

There's obviously nothing, okay?

Is there anyone who bullies fish like this?!
Huang Jin Coke's eyes were filled with tears and he was filled with fear.
