Chapter 822 Xu Hongmi Arrives

Xu Hongdou shook her head and said, "It's nothing. I might be dazzled. Everyone looks like my sister!"

Lin Hao knew that the person sitting over there was her sister Xu Hongmi, so he smiled and said:
"No way, is your sister so terrible that she has left you with a psychological trauma?"

"You don't even know how hateful Xu Hongmi is..."

Speaking of Xu Hongmi, Xu Hongdou immediately opened up and told Lin Hao everything about how Xu Hongmi bullied her when she was a child.

Lin Hao was so amused that he couldn't help but think that Xu Hongdou's sister was so funny. She was completely different from Xu Hongdou.

"The path I've walked the most since I was a child is Xu Hongmi's routine. If she wasn't my sister, I would have dealt with her long ago!"

"Who do you want to deal with?"

"Auntie!"

At this moment, two voices came from behind Xu Hongdou.

Hearing two familiar voices, Xu Hongdou turned her head and was stunned for a moment.

"Sister, Lingling, why are you two here?"

Hearing Xu Hongdou still slandering her, Xu Hongmi came over with a bell.

Xu Hongmi sat down next to Xu Hongdou with a smile and said:
"I heard that someone wanted to deal with me, so I came here. Tell me, how do you want to deal with me?"

Xu Hongdou glanced at Xu Hongmi without saying a word, then picked up her niece Lingdang and said:

"Lingling, do you miss your aunt?"

Little Bell nodded obediently and said, "Yes!"

"Give your aunt a kiss." Xu Hongdou put her face in front of Xiao Lingdang.

"Trojan horse!" Xiao Lingling kissed Xu Hongdou on the cheek without any hesitation.

Xu Hongdou picked up Lingling and sat her on her lap. She then cut a piece of pancake and put it in Lingling's hand:

"Lingling is so good. Come and try the pancakes here. They are delicious!"

"Thank you, auntie!" Little Lingdang said thank you obediently and then started to eat the pancake in small bites.

After coaxing her niece for a while, Xu Hongdou realized that she had not yet introduced Lin Hao and Xu Hongmi, and she quickly introduced the two of them.

"Lin Hao, this is my sister, Xu Hongmi!"

"Sister, this is my friend, Lin Hao!"

"Hello, sister!" Lin Hao greeted Xu Hongmi.

Xu Hongmi looked Lin Hao up and down. Although Lin Hao was very handsome, his ability to use a big snake with a stick made her a little wary.

But he still nodded and said:

"Hello, I've seen you in Hongdou's video. Thank you for taking care of our Hongdou during this period!"

"We all live in the same courtyard, and given our relationship, no one takes care of anyone else!" Lin Hao said with a smile.

"Hmph! You're sure you can talk!" Xu Hongdou, who was holding her niece, gave Lin Hao an appreciative look.

Xiao Lingdang looked at Lin Hao, then looked at Xu Hongdou and asked, "Aunt, aunt, is this my uncle?"

Lin Hao was immediately amused by Xiao Lingdang. He was willing to call this little darling the best wingman.

"Lingling, don't shout at him like that. You should call him Uncle Lin." Xu Hongdou blushed a little when little Lingling asked her this.

"Hello Uncle Lin, you can just call me Lingling!" Little Lingling was very sensible. After listening to her aunt's explanation, she immediately changed her words.

Listening to the babyish voice of Little Bell, Lin Hao thought it was so cute, so he smiled and praised:
"The bells are so cute!"

"Uncle Lin, you are also good-looking!" Little Bell said in a baby voice.

Xu Hongmi, wearing a bell, sat opposite Xu Hongdou and Lin Hao.

While Xu Hongmi was arranging company matters on her phone, she looked around at Xu Hongdou and Lin Hao.

Finally, he fixed his gaze on Xu Hongdou, and then laughed mercilessly:

“You’ve gained weight!”

Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes beautifully, not wanting to pay attention to her sister, and Xu Hongmi followed suit and said:
“It’s dark too!”

Xu Hongdou took a deep breath. Xu Hongmi's words made her feel like a lump in her throat. She said speechlessly:

"Haha, you are really good at talking!"

"Thank you for the compliment!" Xu Hongmi ignored Xu Hongdou's verbal attack and even smiled.

Xu Hongdou knew her sister was teasing her, and asked speechlessly, "Why did you come here suddenly?"

"Give you a surprise!" Xu Hongmi said as a matter of course.

Xu Hongdou was speechless, then said: "At least tell me so I can send someone to pick you up!"

"No need, that B&B has airport pick-up service!" Xu Hongmi replied casually while operating her mobile phone.

Seeing that Xu Hongmi kept his phone in his hand and took the time to talk to him, he immediately said dissatisfiedly:
"Can you please stop playing with your phone!"

"Why are you playing with your phone? I'm working!" Xu Hongmi said to the phone again:

"Give me the plan in half an hour, OK!"

After finishing the work, Xu Hongmi turned her gaze to Lin Hao. Lin Hao was as quiet as ever and just watched the two sisters bickering with each other.

But at this time Xu Hongmi turned her anger on Lin Hao.

"What's going on with you now?" Xu Hongmi didn't beat around the bush and asked Lin Hao and Xu Hongmi.

"Well, Hongdou and I have a mutual affection for each other, and I'm pursuing her!" Lin Hao nodded and admitted it decisively.

Hearing this, Xu Hongdou couldn't help but smile. She was very satisfied with Lin Hao's answer.

However, Xu Hongmi did not want to give up, and the following question followed:
"By the way, the last time I watched your video, Hongdou said you were a painter?"

Facing Xu Hongmi's question, Lin Hao replied calmly:

"Yes, it's mainly painting. I visit wonders and beautiful sights everywhere, and then put the beautiful scenery on paper!"

"So besides painting, do you have no other job or career?" Xu Hongmi continued to ask.

"Yes, I have recently fallen in love with carving. I am learning from a non-legacy wood carving master in Yunmiao Village. It feels quite interesting!"

As soon as Lin Hao finished speaking, Xu Hongmi frowned slightly.

It is obvious that Xu Hongmi is not very satisfied with Lin Hao's work.

The first impression is that this man is a bit indecisive and his job is unstable.

Lin Hao had already guessed it when Xu Hongmi asked, after all, the profession of painter itself is unstable.

However, even though he knew this would happen, Lin Hao did not think of hiding it. He just told Xu Hongmi his true thoughts at the moment.

However, Xu Hongmi thought about what Lin Hao said in her sister's video. He had a car and a house in Beijing, so she thought it shouldn't be too bad. She prepared to find a chance to test it again.

Xu Hongdou naturally noticed Xu Hongmi's expression and knew that her sister was trying to find out Lin Hao's background.

However, Xu Hongdou pretended not to see it and did not explain other things about Lin Hao. She did not want to tell her directly!

Xu Hongmi was amused when she saw her sister's proud look. After so many years, her sister hasn't changed at all. "Waiter~!" Xu Hongmi pointed at Xu Hongdou with her chin: "Waiter, the coffee is cold!"

Xu Hongdou took a deep breath, anger rising in her heart. She glared at Xu Hongmi and rolled up her arms. She was so angry that she wanted to hit someone!
As expected, Xu Hongdou was easily controlled. Just when Xu Hongdou was about to lose his temper, Xu Hongmi smiled and said:

"That's great. You're really serious about volunteering. When are you going back?"

Xu Hongdou calmed down for a moment, then said nonchalantly: "The holiday isn't over yet!"

"Hey, honesty is the foundation of all virtues!" Xu Hongmi said, sitting upright: "I called your hotel and they said you resigned!"

"You had the guts to lie to your parents and say you were going to take three months off. I knew there was something wrong with you!"

Xu Hongdou did not continue to argue with Xu Hongmi. Thinking of Chen Nanxing's matter, she said sadly:

"I'm afraid that my resignation will worry my parents, so I'll tell them when I go back!"

Seeing Xu Hongdou's sad face, Xu Hongmi asked with concern: "Why did you resign?"

Xu Hongdou said in a somewhat depressed mood: "I just don't want to do it anymore!"

"What do you mean by irrelevant?" Xu Hongmi asked puzzledly.

"Take a rest!" Xu Hongdou then shook her head and said, "Even if I am just a spare part, I still need maintenance!"

Hearing this, Xu Hongdou asked bluntly, "Have you rested enough? Have you taken good care of yourself? What are your plans for the future?"

Xu Hongmi's three fatal questions left Xu Hongdou speechless, so she said indignantly:
"It was all good, but your question to me instantly brought me back to my work life, like being asked to work overtime on a long weekend, and my boss giving me a lecture and asking me about my work arrangements for the next quarter!"

"Hey, you get angry when I ask you a question!" Xu Hongmi said with a smile, "I just said one sentence, and you keep talking nonsense!"

"Okay, I won't ask any more questions!" He said to Xu Hongmi and Lin Hao solemnly:

"By the way, I have a very important video conference tonight, it will take a long time!"

"So I won't have dinner with you guys tonight!" Then he told Xu Hongdou, "Little Bell, help take care of it!"

"Okay, I'll send it back to you after dinner tonight!" Xu Hongdou nodded.

"No need, she will sleep with you tonight!" He pushed Lingling's suitcase in front of Xu Hongdou and said:

"I still have work to do over there, so I'll leave Bell to you. Her things are all in the small suitcase next to it!"

Seeing Lin Hao having fun playing with the bell, Xu Hongmi also wanted to know more about her, so she had to finish the work at hand first.

"I want to sleep with my aunt, I want to sleep with my aunt!" Lingling happily hugged Xu Hongdou and said coquettishly.

"There's really nothing we can do about you!" Xu Hongdou said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll leave first!" Xu Hongmi stood up, took her things, and left quickly.

But before leaving, he reminded Xiao Lingdang:
"Lingling, remember to listen to your aunt, okay?"

"Well, I'll listen to my aunt!" Then he waved to Xu Hongmi and said, "Goodbye, Mom!"

"Bye~!"

After Xu Hongmi left, Xu Hongdou asked Lingdang, "Hey, what do you want to eat tonight?"

When Xiao Lingling heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she said without hesitation: "Mao Duoli!"

"Mao Duo Li?" Xu Hongdou had no idea what it was, so she looked at Lin Hao for help.

"Lingdang wants to eat Mao Duoli!" Seeing Lingdang nod, Lin Hao said with a smile: "Then uncle will buy it for you later, okay!"

"Thank you Uncle Lin, Uncle Lin is the best!"

Seeing that Lin Hao knew all of this, Xu Hongdou asked curiously, "What is Mao Duoli?"

Lin Hao smiled and said, "It's sour jujube cake. Haven't you eaten it before?"

"No!" Xu Hongdou blinked and then said, "No, I haven't even heard of it!"

"Come on, Lingling, uncle will take you to buy some Mao Duo Li!" Lin Hao reached out and picked Lingling up and said, "Come out to eat Mao Duo Li, is there anything else you want to play?"

Xiao Lingling held Xu Hongdou with one hand and Lin Hao with the other, and the three of them walked together like a family of three.

And Xiao Lingdang shook Lin Hao's hand and said, "Uncle Lin, I want to see Xiao Ma!"

"Okay, Uncle Lin will take you to see the pony now!"

Faced with the little angel's request, Lin Hao naturally would not refuse. He walked out of the restaurant holding the little bell.

Lin Hao randomly found a store and bought a bag of Maodoli, and then Xiao Lingdang started eating it without hesitation.

Lin Hao took one and handed it to Xu Hongdou and said:
"This is a specialty of the south of the colorful clouds. It is a gelatinous pastry made from tamarind juice. It tastes sour and sweet. Would you like to try it?"

Xu Hongdou tasted one, and the sweet and sour taste immediately made her eyes light up. Then she smiled and said:

“It’s tender, glutinous and delicate, with a rich fruity flavor and a sweet and sour taste. No wonder children love to eat it!”

As they were talking, the three of them arrived at Xie Zhiyao's horse farm, but Xie Zhiyao was not there today. It was said that he had gone to discuss something.

After talking to the staff at the stable, Lin Hao brought the two of them to the stable.

After arriving at the horse farm, Xiao Lingling became more lively: "Auntie, this pony is so cute!"

Xu Hongdou smiled and picked up the conscienceless little Lingling and said, "Do you want Lingling to feed the pony?"

"Can I?" Little Bell pointed at herself with some doubt.

Lin Hao touched Xiao Lingdang's head lovingly and said, "Of course you can. Xiao Ma will definitely like Xiao Lingdang very much."

"Then I'm going to feed the pony." Little Bell was so happy.

After feeding the pony, Xiao Lingling started clamoring to ride a horse again, so of course Lin Hao had to satisfy her.

So Lin Hao led the little cutie out of the stable, Lin Hao mounted the horse holding the bell, and then he flipped over and got on.

"Lin Hao, be careful. Lingling is still young. Don't ride too fast with her!"

"Don't worry. Are you still unsure about me?" Lin Hao said with a smile.

Then Lin Hao gently squeezed the horse's belly, and the little cutie began to walk closely.

Looking at the two people, one big and one small, riding on the horses, Xu Hongdou quickly spoke up to remind them. She had not forgotten how Lin Hao galloped on his horse before.

"Ride a big horse, ride a big horse!" Little Bell shouted excitedly.

"Don't worry, I'm not that unreliable."

Lin Hao was speechless. After all, Lingling was someone else's child. It was impossible for him to ride a horse with a child of four or five years old?

Even if he doesn't consider himself, he has to consider the feelings of the child's parents. If he rides away on horseback with Xiao Lingling, Xu Hongmi will probably chase him with a knife and chop him.

"Yes!" Xu Hongdou nodded decisively.

Lin Hao rolled his eyes, then looked at Xu Hongdou and asked, "Do you want to join us?"

"Yes, auntie, let's ride horses together!" Xiao Lingdang excitedly invited Xu Hongdou.

"No, you two just have fun, I'll record a video!" Xu Hongdou rejected Lin Hao's invitation to horseback riding without even thinking.

Xu Hongdou didn't want to ride the horse, and Lin Hao didn't try to persuade her. He just pinched the horse's belly, and the little cutie started trotting around the horse farm.

"Oh, the big horse is running!" Little Bell was not afraid at all, but seemed very excited.
