The three of them hugged for a long time, and Ai Qing was still immersed in the ocean of family affection and couldn't extricate himself, which was a feeling he had never had, but he was looking forward to it.

Hou Zhiyuan looked up and saw Liu Yun'er standing at the door, alone, she was wearing the same set of clothes that Ai Qing bought for her today, pure and beautiful, like a white lotus that had just come out of the water.

"Son, who is this?" asked Hou Zhiyuan.

Liu Fen and Ai Qing let go of their shoulders and turned their heads to look at the door, Ai Qing patronized her emotional catharsis and almost forgot about Liu Yun'er.

"This is a friend of mine who came back with me on purpose. ”

Ai Qing didn't tell Er the truth directly, because he was afraid that if the two old men suddenly appeared a daughter-in-law, they might not be able to accept it.

"What a beautiful girl, come on, let Auntie see. Liu Fen wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and waved her hand at Liu Yun'er.

Liu Yun'er walked to the three of them shyly, she was embarrassed to disturb the reunion of the three after a long absence.

"Hello uncle and aunt, my name is Liu Yun'er, you can call me Yun'er. Liu Yun'er bowed slightly politely and said.

"Yun'er, Yun'er, good name! It's cold outside, let's go into the house and sit!" Hou Zhiyuan's face bloomed.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and Liu Fen pulled Ai Qing and Liu Yun'er into the house.

The area of the thatched house is still very large, and it may also be because the space inside the house is large, so it is significantly large, and the lighting of the house is very poor, and the house is dim and dark in the daytime.

The yellow-brown wall is slanted, and there is a photo of the old couple when they got married, and there is a big "囍" character on it, but the photo has been yellowed, and the face cannot be seen clearly, as if it is a mosaic.

Leaning against the wall, a large black cauldron of oil is placed on the stove, next to a pile of firewood for making a fire, and a large water tank is placed there, and the water drunk in the countryside is pure groundwater, which will have a slightly sweet taste.

In addition to the living room, there are three rooms inside, one bedroom on the left and one on the left, and the innermost utility room.

"Come on, come on, this is the house where the monkey lived when he was a child. ”

Liu Fen pushed open the bedroom door, her eyes were slightly red, looking at this room full of memories, Hou Yan was born in this room, and grew up here, it has been almost thirty years, unforgettable.

Ai Qing looked at the unfamiliar room, it turned out that Hou Yan lived here when he was a child, it was simple enough, and it was a little shabby.

"You two sit down first, this kang will be hot immediately, your father and I will make dumplings for you, your favorite cabbage filling!"

Liu Fen said while holding Liu Yun'er's little hand, and pinching it from time to time, she was so satisfied with Liu Yun'er, although Ai Qing didn't want to tell the second elder about the relationship between the two of them, but they all brought the family, can it still be bad?

Liu Yun'er was so happy to be pinched by Liu Fen, don't look at her always calling Liu Fen an aunt, she has long regarded her as her mother in her heart, especially Liu Fen still likes herself so much, which makes her previous nervous mood swept away.

"Mom, don't bother. Ai Qing didn't feel a little awkward when she called Liu Fen, but called her more kindly.

"It's not troublesome, your dad went to Lao Wang's house to buy a little stupid chicken, and he will stew chicken for the two of you later!" Liu Fen's smile did not diminish from the beginning.

Liu Yun'er gently hugged Liu Fen, although her height was not high, she was much more than Liu Fen.

"Thank you, Auntie!" Liu Yun'er said.

Liu Fen gently patted Liu Yun'er on the back, laughed happily, and walked much more neatly than just now, and the whole person returned to the light, and seemed to be more than ten years younger.

Ai Qing and Liu Yun'er were left in the bedroom, Liu Yun'er was sitting on the kang, hard and a little awkward, she was still the first time to come to the countryside.

Ai Qing wandered around the room, looking at the facilities inside the room, the bronzed and worn bookcase, and a mirror with several black and white photographs sandwiched between the borders of the mirrors.

He picked up the photo, this is a photo of Hou Yan and his parents when he was a child, Hou Yan in the photo is only a few years old, the second elder behind him is still very young, Hou Zhiyuan is wearing a military uniform, and Liu Fen is wearing a simple cotton coat.

There is also a photo of Hou Zhiyuan and Liu Fen when they got married, Hou Zhiyuan was wearing a black Mao suit, Liu Fen was wearing a bright red, and the heavy makeup was painted, and you could feel the joy at that time through the photos.

"Monkey, did you grow up here?" Liu Yun'er took the photo in Ai Qing's hand.

"yes, don't you think it's shabby?"

Seeing such an environment, Ai Qing can imagine how hard Hou Yan's life was when he was a child, no wonder Hou Yan is reluctant to mention what happened when he was a child, this is an inferiority complex caused by the family environment.

Liu Yun'er didn't answer his words, her eyes were glued to the photo in her hand, and she didn't understand, as if she was stunned.

"What's the matter, were my parents good-looking when they were young?" said Ai Qing with a smile.

"I've seen this photo!" Liu Yun'er said, picking up the wedding photo.

Ai Qing was stunned, he never expected Liu Yun'er to say such a thing, how could she have seen the wedding photos of Hou Yan's parents?

"You're wrong, aren't you? You're here for the first time in my house, so how can you see this picture again? ”

Liu Yun'er said in a firm tone: "No, I must have seen it, and it's this photo." ”

"Where have you seen it?"

"I forgot, many years ago, because I remember what your parents wore when they got married. ”

Ai Qing didn't think much about it, just thought that Liu Yun'er was wrong, otherwise there was no reason to explain.

Liu Yun'er saw Ai Qing's look of disbelief, and her firm attitude just now was also a little shaken, could it really be that she remembered it wrongly?

"Okay, don't think about it, how about I hug you?"

"Well, how about you tell me about when you were a child?" Liu Yun'er said.

"Uh...... Why don't you tell me about it first? and then I'll tell you about it. Ai Qing was speechless.

Liu Yun'er has a brother named Liu Weihao, who is ten years older than her, and is thirty years old this year, serving as a soldier in the army, and the specific military rank Liu Yun'er only knows that he is a non-commissioned officer, and she has no interest in the army.

Her father is the only one of the men in the family who is engaged in politics, because her father Yanagisawan has been weak since he was a child, and he went to be a soldier for a year, but he couldn't stand the high-intensity training in the army, so he ran home to study hard, and finally was admitted to the civil service and worked in the government.

Liu Zejun's discipline of Liu Yuner is much stricter than that of Liu Weihao, he believes that girls should live a simple and simple life, and cannot engage in some bells and whistles, which is also the most fundamental reason why Liu Yuner's freedom is restricted.

Liu Yuner has not worn too bright clothes since she was a child, no makeup, no perm, no shopping, all the things that girls like seem to have nothing to do with her, she also tried to resist, but the thoughts of the whole family are extremely unified, that is, his brother is more fond of her, sometimes secretly takes her out to play, and finally has to be taught a lesson.

She thought she would be able to free herself after graduating from high school, but she was arranged to study at a police academy, and the military-like management made her beautiful illusions shattered, and bad things followed the same, and she was told on her twentieth birthday that she was going to marry Qiao Jian of the Qiao Group.

This is what happened later, Liu Yuner committed suicide, Ai Qing endured the pain to save people, not only the salvation of life, but also the salvation of the soul, he changed Liu Yuner's lifestyle, gave her what she wanted the most, and also got her beloved other half.

"Meeting you is the greatest luck in my life!"

Liu Yun'er lay sideways beside Ai Qing, staring at Ai Qing's side face with bright eyes.

"Who isn't? You taught me what it means to be loved. ”

Ai Qing picked up her hand and put it on her heart, her head slowly approached Liu Yun'er, her lips curled slightly, and just as she was kissing, the bedroom door was suddenly opened from the outside.

In the process of Liu Yuner's self-description, more than half an hour passed unconsciously

"Children, the dumplings are ready, let's eat the dumplings first!"

Liu Fen pushed open the door and called the two of them to eat, just when she saw the scene in front of her, she retreated outside the room with a little embarrassment.

She trotted briskly to Hou Zhiyuan's side, leaned in his ear and said happily: "Old man, my daughter-in-law has fallen! I just saw ......."

The smile of the second elder became brighter and brighter, they all felt that Liu Yun'er was a good girl, and it was a blessing for her son to have such a girlfriend!

"Let's go to dinner!" Ai Qing still kissed Liu Yun'er on the lips.

"Oh no, it's embarrassing! Mom will laugh at us. Liu Yun'er said with a red face.

"Before you get through the door, you're calling Mom?" Ai Qing pinched the tip of her nose.

Liu Yun'er glared at Ai Qing in shame, and said arrogantly, "What, you don't want to marry me?"

"Think, hahaha!"

The four of them gathered around a round table in the living room, and there were five plates of dumplings on the dark red wooden table, all of which were full, and it didn't look like four people could finish eating them at all.

"Mom, are you doing too much?" said Ai Qing with chopsticks.

"This is your favorite food! Before, you could eat four plates of these dumplings by yourself. ”

Liu Fen said while sandwiching dumplings into Ai Qing's bowl, Ai Qing was dumb at this time eating Coptis chinensis, and she couldn't say anything about her suffering, even if she was willing to eat it, she couldn't eat like this, she would die of it.

Ai Qing picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth, and when he bit it, the soup in the dumpling skin gushed out in his mouth, and there was a special taste in the fragrance, which was the taste of his mother.

"Dada~"

Ai Qing's tears dripped in the bowl, her mouth instinctively chewed the dumplings, her nose kept twitching, the dishes and chopsticks in her hands trembled unobediently, and the whole person was confused.

However, it was only half past three in the afternoon, and Hou Yan actually woke up early, which had never happened before.
