Chapter 728 Uncle Xu

There will never be such an opportunity again.

An opportunity that might allow my uncle to get what he wants.

When it was still dawn on Saturday, Xiao Xiao and his companions successfully met up with Xu Zizhen at the school gate.

Even in the early morning, there was already a hint of warmth in the air.

……

They took a taxi to the courtyard where Xu Zizhen's grandparents now lived.

The ancient building with a heavy sense of age made Xiao Xiao and his companions feel deeply moved.

……

Zhuge Yan and Zhao Lu were whispering in the back.

"Siheyuan like this is extremely valuable nowadays."

"Yes, even if you have money you may not be able to buy it."

……

"Xu Zizhen's family should be quite wealthy."

"My ancestors must be a big family."

……

Xu Zizhen's grandparents were very happy to see their grandson, especially when they saw that he brought so many classmates with him, their faces smiled even more happily.

Old people like lively places and they also like children.

……

As a middleman, Xu Zizhen made a brief introduction between the two parties.

Both elderly people are very kind.

Always smiling.

After letting Xiao Xiao and the others do as they please and instructing his grandson to take good care of his classmates, Grandpa Xu went out to play chess with his friends.

Grandma Xu happily said that she would prepare a big meal for Xu Zizhen and his friends at noon, and she also carefully asked Xiao Xiao what dishes they liked and disliked.

After getting the information she wanted, the old lady went out to the vegetable market to buy vegetables with a basket and a smile on her face.

……

After seeing off the elderly people in his family, Xu Zizhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he turned around and said to everyone with a smile, "Let's go see my uncle."

……

Xiao Xiao and his group followed Xu Zizhen through the moon gate and came to the backyard of the courtyard.

……

Xu Zizhen suddenly stopped.

The doubts in everyone's eyes turned into clarity when they saw the middle-aged man under the tree not far away.

That must be Xu Zizhen’s uncle.

……

The man was tall and thin.

He raised his head and looked at the maple leaves above.

The half of his face facing them was calm, but the serious and immersed look in his eyes revealed a sense of the distant memories.

The aura around the man was faint, revealing a hint of melancholy.

Inexplicably, it makes people reluctant to disturb.

……

"Xiao Xiao, can you really help my uncle?"

Xu Zizhen didn't turn around, just looked at his uncle and asked in a low voice.

……

"Yes."

Xiao Xiao raised his eyes and looked at the figure among the branches of the maple tree, just above the middle-aged man's head.

The snow-white hair decorated with green maple leaves covered most of the other person's body, making it impossible to see its face clearly.

……

But the posture of lowering its head made Xiao Xiao know that it was looking at the middle-aged man.

It was within the middle-aged man's field of vision.

However, in the eyes of the man who looked up, there was nothing else except maple leaves.

……

Ok? !

Xu Zizhen suddenly turned around and stared at Xiao Xiao with wide eyes.

can?

What do you mean?
Is that what he meant?

I clearly said I wasn't sure before.

Now, is it enough for me to just glance at my uncle from a distance?
Because it was too unbelievable, and perhaps mixed with excitement, fear and other emotions, Xu Zizhen was speechless for a moment.

His face was stunned, but his eyes were filled with emotions.

……

Seeing this, Zhuge Yun helped Xu Zizhen to ask the question in his heart, "Third brother, are you saying that you can help Xu Zizhen's uncle find that young lady?"

At the end, his voice rose slightly, and his tone was filled with shock and doubt. He believed that the third brother was right.

But, the problem that had troubled Uncle Xu Zizhen for so many years was solved by the third brother just by taking a look from a distance?

……

Wait, in this case, Zhuge Yun suddenly thought of a possibility.

Before he could ask, Zhao Luzheng cried out "Ah", with a strange and hesitant expression on his face.

……

"Zizhen?"

The strange man's voice interrupted everyone's questioning.

They turned around and saw that it was Uncle Xu who had heard the noise and was walking towards them.

……

"uncle."

Xu Zizhen put away the "strange" expression on his face and smiled widely.

"Hello Uncle Xu."

Xiao Xiao, Zhang Bo, Zhuge Yun, and Zhao Luzheng then called out politely.

……

"Hey, hello."

Uncle Xu responded to everyone with a smile.

There is not a trace of gloom in her gentle temperament.

If they had not seen with their own eyes the dazed look of the man in front of them just now, they would really have thought that Uncle Xu was not worried about anything.

……

After Uncle Xu exchanged a few words with Xu Zizhen, Xiao Xiao and others, he planned to leave.

Since his nephew brought his friends to play today, it would be inappropriate for him to stay here any longer.

"Zizhen, have fun with your friends. Uncle will leave first."

……

"uncle!"

Xu Zizhen's voice sounded somewhat anxious.

……

"what happened?"

Uncle Xu looked at Xu Zizhen in confusion, then he understood a little, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

……

"No."

Xu Zizhen shook his head, looking hesitant. He didn't know how to tell his uncle what to say next.

Uncle came too quickly and he hadn't asked Xiao Xiao anything yet.

I am completely in the clouds.

……

Although he was a little confused, Uncle Xu found Xu Zizhen's face full of confusion inexplicably funny.

He curled his lips and spoke softly, "Zizhen, just say whatever you want to say."

"I haven't seen you for a while, why are you still alienated from your uncle?"

……

"No."

Xu Zizhen shook his head hurriedly.

He has been close to his uncle since he was a child.

Even though there was a time when the adults in the family told him to stay away from his uncle, he didn't listen.

I also feel very sorry for my uncle.

……

Sometimes, it is because we attach too much importance to something that we choose our words more carefully, fearing that we may not express our meaning well and cause misunderstanding to the other party.

"uncle-"

Xu Zizhen said hesitantly, "Are you still waiting for that young lady?"

Uncle Xu was stunned, and his gentle and smiling expression became stiff and unnatural for a moment.

He was caught off guard.

He didn't understand why his nephew would ask him this question out of the blue? In front of his friends?
He couldn't help but look at Xiao Xiao and the others.

However, he was surprised to find that the children's faces did not show the confusion as he had imagined.

Instead, he was stunned at first, then revealed a hint of understanding.

They know his story.

Uncle Xu came to this conclusion immediately.

Immediately, a trace of anger rose in my heart.

Although he didn't like his nephew telling his friends about his own affairs.

But I just don't like it.

After all, he didn't tell the child at the beginning not to tell others about his affairs.

But what is the situation now?
