Chapter 161 Xuemei pushes marriage
After several hours of bumpy driving, when the train arrived at Xinshui Station, it was already evening. After Zuo Jun and Xuemei walked out of the station with their things, they directly hired a taxi and went straight to the countryside.
Zuo Jun and Xuemei hadn't been back for several years, and when they actually stepped into their hometown, they couldn't help but be excited. They sat in the back seat, and when they saw the familiar scene, their hands couldn't help but clasp together
After an hour's drive, the taxi first arrived at the village where Xuemei's family lived. Under Xuemei's guidance, the taxi went directly to the front door of her house.
As soon as the taxi stopped, Xuemei's family heard the sound of cars outside and rushed out, her parents and younger brother, as well as a few relatives and friends
It turned out that before Zuo Jun came back, he called his parents and asked his father to inform Xuemei's family of the news that he brought Xuemei back
Xuemei's parents were overjoyed to learn that their daughter had returned from a 'foreign country'. The whole family mobilized and killed a 'minor' pig, and the family, along with a few close relatives and friends, waited for the arrival of their daughter and son-in-law.
When Xuemei didn't get home yet, her heart beat a drum, although she was not very far from her mother's house all these years, but because she escaped from marriage, and this kind of thing happened with Zuo Jun outside. She went back even more shamelessly, although Zuo Jun had already helped her lie to her mother's family, and even sent money in her name to her mother to treat her eyes. However, there is still a hurdle in her heart that she can't overcome.
When she saw her parents, younger brother, and relatives and friends pouring out of the courtyard, the long-lost family affection made her forget all the estrangement and unhappiness. When she saw her mother crying and shouting her nickname, she couldn't control her excitement anymore, and after getting out of the car, she immediately threw herself into her mother's arms, and the two of them cried together
The father, younger brother and relatives and friends next to him all cried
Zuo Jun's eyes were also moist, and he took the opportunity to greet Xuemei's father: "Uncle Liang." Are you okay? ”
Xuemei's father recognized Zuo Jun at a glance, he no longer has the prejudices of the past, and now Zuo Jun is a successful person who came back from abroad. He immediately enthusiastically took Zuo Jun's hand and asked for warmth.
After Xuemei and her mother vented to each other, Xuemei greeted her father, younger brother and relatives and friends
At this time, Xuemei's father shouted: "Everyone come into the house, it's getting dark, my daughter and aunt are hungry, right?" Let's start eating! ”
When Xuemei walked into the courtyard and looked at her family's old house, she couldn't help but be stunned, only to see that the house was already dilapidated. It has become several dilapidated houses.
She couldn't help frowning and said, "Dad, our house is so broken, why don't you clean it up again?" ”
Xuemei's father couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's hard to say!" I'll tell you later. ”
Xuemei was embarrassed to ask more in front of everyone.
Tonight, Xuemei's house was very lively, and Zuo Jun was eating at her house, while introducing what he had seen and heard abroad from time to time
Xuemei hadn't been there after all, and when someone asked about her, she was covered up by the left army. In fact. Even Xuemei was infected by Zuo Jun's words, and she listened to them with relish.
After eating, all the relatives and friends had dispersed, and the left army saw that it was not too early. left Xuemei at her house, and she was going back to her own house in the neighboring village.
Xuemei's family sent it out, and Xuemei's father was a little embarrassed and said, "It's too late now, let Xuemei visit your parents tomorrow!" ”
Zuo Jun hurriedly said, "No need. Tomorrow I will come over again with the two elders and formally propose to you. ”
Seeing Zuo Jun being polite, Xuemei's parents were moved.
When the left army returned to his house alone. His parents had been waiting for him for a long time.
Zuo Jun is different from Xuemei, since Xiao Yue came to his house, he has opened the bond between him and his family, and he has been in constant contact with his family since then. Therefore, his situation does not need to be explained to his family.
When Zuo Jun told his family about the process of finding Xuemei again, this also made his parents, sister and others sigh
Zuo Jun's mother suddenly thought of Xiao Yue, so she asked Zuo Jun: "What about Miss Xiao?" Is your relationship just a general friendship? ”
Her words touched the sore spot of Zuo Jun, and he knew that after he was reunited with Xuemei, this was a big blow to Xiao Yue, who had been waiting for him for the past few years, but what could he do?
He was silent for a while before replying: "I love Xuemei, I will not be separated from her in this life and this life, I will handle the relationship with Xiao Xiao correctly, please rest assured." ”
Zuo Jun's mother said with some pity: "That girl is from a big city, and she looks no worse than Xuemei, if you forget it like this, it's a pity." ”
Without waiting for Zuo Jun to speak, Zuo Jun's father immediately reprimanded: "What do you know about this old woman?" We must trust our son's vision, and we must never interfere in the children's affairs in the future. ”
Zuo Jun explained at this time: "Xiao Xiao is indeed a very good girl, she is also sincere to me, but Xuemei grew up with me, she has occupied my whole heart, Xiao Xiao and I have only suffered abroad together, and I also know that she has a good impression of me, but in my heart, except for Xuemei, I really can't tolerate a second girl." ”
Zuo Jun's father immediately said: "Child, no matter who you choose, your family will support you!" ”
Zuo Jun took the opportunity to speak: "I want to take this opportunity to accompany your second elder to Xuemei's house tomorrow to propose marriage, and immediately set the family affairs and open the marriage introduction letter."
Zuo Jun's mother smiled: "Then it's better to take the opportunity to get married." “
Zuo Jun's heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "I actually have this meaning, I have already bought a house in Dejiang, and now there are friends there to help us decorate a new house. ”
Zuo Jun's father immediately said: "Okay then! Wait until tomorrow we will go to the in-laws' house together, discuss with the in-laws, and take the opportunity to handle the children's marriage. ”
Besides, at Xuemei's house, after seeing off Zuo Jun and all relatives and friends, the family of four closed the door and chatted
Xuemei saw that the walls of her house were cracked, and she was worried: "How can we live in our house?" It's winter soon, not only is it not warm, but it's not safe to live! ”
Xuemei's father couldn't help but sigh heavily and said: "This house can't be repaired, so I can only tear it down and rebuild it, but it's all because your father is incompetent." In the past few years, you sent back the money for your mother's medical treatment. The harvest at home has not been good in the past few years, and your brother and I don't know any crafts, and the life of the family has been tight, how can we have the money to build a house! ”
Xuemei's mother's eyes were also moist and said: "Your brother is only one year younger than you, a child as old as him is a father here, and he was given a target last year, but because the family is poor and can't afford to build a house, the woman's parents have always disagreed." ”
Xuemei's younger brother listened to this. I also lowered my head sadly.
After Xuemei learned about these circumstances, she asked, "Don't worry, if we rebuild our house and do a happy event for my younger brother, how much will it cost?" ”
Xuemei's father replied: "Our house needs at least more than 20,000 yuan to be rebuilt, and your brother's marriage cost is at least 100,000!" ”
Xuemei couldn't help but be surprised: "Why do you need to spend so much to solve a marriage?" ”
Xuemei's mother took over and said: "Whoever marries a daughter-in-law is like this, and the bride price for the woman's family alone has to come up with seventy or eighty thousand." If you take less, people won't do it. ”
She saw that Xuemei bowed her head and didn't speak, so she asked again: "You and Zuo Jun have made a lot of money abroad all these years, right?" I remember when I treated my eyes, you sent us 10,000 yuan. It's been less than a year since you left the country, so what's the economy doing now? Can you help the family again? ”
Xuemei was a little embarrassed, her savings were less than 20,000, although the left army had some money. However, I heard that it would cost more than 300,000 yuan to buy that house, and then buy furniture and household appliances. Where is there so much money to help the family?
But when she looked at her parents' expectant eyes, she couldn't bear to say no, so she had to reply: "Wait until I discuss it with Zuo Jun!" ”
Late at night, Xuemei slept back to her former boudoir, she lay here, recalling that she had climbed out of the window in the room back then, and since then she has been 'wandering' with Zuo Jun, and she can't help but feel emotional.
How is Brother Liu doing now?
She tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and she didn't feel that she remembered Liu Cheng again
She immediately picked up her mobile phone and dialed Liu Cheng's number again
Liu Cheng's mobile phone was still turned off, which gave her a sense of foreboding. She still had doubts about Liu Cheng's claim that she already had another girl, and now Liu Cheng suddenly disappeared, which gave her an ominous premonition.
Her heart became more and more chaotic, lying on the bed, holding her mobile phone, dialing Liu Cheng's mobile phone number once a while, but the more she couldn't get through, the more scared she became, and she was not confused until it was almost dawn
After Xuemei's mother got up. Seeing that her daughter was still lying on the bed and asleep, I thought she was tired from the car, so I didn't wake her up, helped her cover the quilt that had been kicked off, and left the room again.
When it was almost eight o'clock, Zuo Jun accompanied his parents to Xuemei's house to propose.
Xuemei's parents were very kind to Zuo Jun's family at this time, and they approached the three of them to the room as if they were VIPs.
Zuo Jun's parents often come here and are no strangers to this place, and they quickly chatted enthusiastically
Zuo Jun didn't find Xuemei, so he asked, "Where is Xuemei?" ”
Xuemei's mother said embarrassedly: "That child may be tired, and he hasn't gotten up yet!" ”
Zuo Jun said 'oh', didn't say anything, and sat down to talk to his parents about his marriage with Xuemei's parents
When Zuo Jun's father proposed to hold a banquet in his hometown immediately, Xuemei's parents naturally had no opinion, and they immediately agreed.
Zuo Jun's father smiled: "Okay then! Zuo Jun They have a lot of things to do in Dejiang, and they will be delayed here for a few days, I think tomorrow's day will be good, and I will let the two children go to the township to open a letter of introduction, tomorrow your family will set up a banquet first, and the day after tomorrow my family is doing it, what do you think? ”
Xuemei's father clapped his hands and agreed: "That's great, my family just finished killing pigs, and it won't be a problem to hold a few tables of banquets tomorrow." ”
"That's good! That's what we're done. Zuo Jun's parents said in unison.
At this moment, Xuemei suddenly walked out of her boudoir, and her first sentence shouted: "No, Zuo Jun and I can't get married!" ”
Her words surprised everyone at the scene, Zuo Jun didn't expect Xuemei to have such a reaction, he was surprised: "Xuemei, what is this for?" (To be continued......)
