12. Simple happiness

After dinner in the evening, our family sat on the kang and chatted, and the family took the initiative to report their personal situation to their parents, of course, this kid also cleverly omitted all kinds of tangled grievances between us, only said that it was my younger brother, who liked me when he was in school, until he had the opportunity to work with me again later, and decided to chase me.

It can be seen that my father still likes to start a family, but I didn't expect this kid to be quite good at coaxing people, and he and his father are discussing military politics and current rural development. My mother has been very calm, and she has not objected or agreed.

Until the rest time, my father slept in the same room with the Cheng family, and I heard the voice of my dad and the Cheng family talking.

When I woke up in the morning, it was still dark outside, and I looked at the quilt next to me, and my mother had already gotten up. I got dressed and walked to the kitchen, and sure enough, my dad was cooking on the fire and my mom was stir-frying by the pot. The two of them were chatting as they worked.

"I think the young man is good, quite down-to-earth, and looks quite grounded." Dad added a fire to the stove and said.

Mom didn't reply, and was silent for a while before she said, "It's just a little smaller, a few years younger than our Jie." ”

"That's true, but I'm quite calm in my speech." Dad nodded, and then said: "It's also good for our Jie, I don't think this kid has a very soft temper, but it's still very good to Jie, and he's very patient." ”

After breakfast, the work in the field at this time cannot be delayed at all, and my father and mother are ready to continue to pick bags. My mother didn't agree with me, but I heard that I wanted to take him around the mountains and see the scenery, so I agreed to go with me.

The family, who grew up in the city, saw such a large apple grove for the first time, and was very excited, and praised it repeatedly: "It's beautiful, it's really beautiful." ”

The two of us wandered around the nearby mountains for a while, and Chengjia took my hand and said to me excitedly, "Jiabao, your home is really beautiful, I have begun to fall in love with this place." ”

I responded to him with a smile and said, "Yes, the mountains and rivers here are so natural, so pure, I prefer the people here, simple and simple, simple life, simple happiness." ”

"Simple pleasures." Cheng Jia repeated my words and said, "Jiabao, I understand you. We are here, creating our own business, creating our own dream home, sharing the beauty and goodness here, so that more people can experience and be moved. ”

I nodded, still unable to hold back the doubts in my heart, and asked: "Chengjia, do your parents know that you are coming?" ”

Chengjia looked at me, put away his smile, and said with a serious expression: "I talked to my dad before I came to you, about our matter, my dad said that he remained neutral, and he didn't help or favor between me and my mom, let me solve it myself." But I can tell that he admires you, and letting my dad be neutral basically means that he agrees. As for my mother, she has some misunderstandings about you, give her some time, give me a little time, and I will let her accept it. ”

I let out a long sigh and said sullenly, "Last time your mother was like that, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to accept me." ”

Cheng Jia took me by the hand and came to a big rock, arranged for me to sit down, and he squatted down on his knees in front of me, looked at me at eye level, and said, "Jiabao, it's not to accept you, it's to accept us, she is my mother, if she can accept me, she will definitely accept you whom I love." ”

I looked at the serious appearance of the affectionate family, which inexplicably touched my laughter, and I couldn't help laughing, and said, "Why didn't I find you so good at sweet words before?" ”

Cheng Jia pinched my nose helplessly, and said with a doting tone: "I didn't understand and couldn't express it before, but now I'm learning how to express myself, and I won't hide anything from you in the future, I'll tell you, let's solve it together, okay?" ”

"Hmm." I nodded, filled with emotion. Perhaps, this time it can really be successful; Maybe, I can really win this bet.

Chengjia stood up, sat down against me, and said, "Jiabao, you mean it when you say you want to stay, you know that I have always wanted to have my own career." Before, it was because my father had some physical problems, and then something happened later; I lost you, and I was obsessed for a long time. Now that we're together again, especially when we come to your hometown, it touches me deeply and I feel like I'm fighting again. Last time, I talked to my dad about starting a business, and he was very supportive. I think we can really fight for our dreams and ourselves here. ”

I quietly listened to Cheng Jia talk about some of his ideas, looking at the corners of his slightly curled mouth, I felt that he exuded a kind of vitality all over his body, and now he has really changed a lot.

After a stroll, the two of us returned to our apple field, and when we got married, we saw our parents who were busy and wanted to help. I taught him how to pick the bag and jokingly said, "If this apple is dropped, it won't be worth much." That's it, I don't embarrass you, let's compete, if the apple is small or bad, it doesn't matter, if whoever gets rid of the big apple, whoever eats it, what's the matter? ”

Cheng Jia readily agreed, and said with a smile: "It hurts me so much, I know that I like to eat apples, and I think of a way to let me eat more." ”

"Stinky beauty!" I glanced at the family, turned around and got to work.

As a city man who has never worked in the field, Chengjia is already relatively nimble, but picking bags is really a technical job, and in less than half an afternoon, Chengjia has eaten three big apples.

Freshly picked apples are blue-white because they have not been exposed to sunlight, and although they are crisp, they still have a sour taste, and they turn red after a few days of sun exposure, and then they become really crisp and sweet red Fuji apples.

I couldn't help but laugh as I watched the excitement of starting a family change from the excitement at the beginning to the somewhat tangled expression at the back.

When it was time to eat in the evening, the family unsurprisingly had sour teeth. Looking at his wrinkled face as soon as I chewed the rice, I was both guilty and amused, and I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Dad glanced at me, handed Chengjia a glass of cold boiled water, and said, "You are too real, if you drop it, you will drop it, we grow it ourselves, we don't care about those apples." ”

Cheng Jia took the water and said with a smile: "Uncle, it's okay, I like to eat apples, and it's a pity to see that such a big apple has indeed fallen." ”

Looking at his well-behaved appearance in front of my dad, I couldn't help but laugh maniacally again. My father and mother looked at the two of us helplessly, beckoned the family to continue eating, and ignored me.

With the help of me and the Cheng family, the apple bags in the field were finished in a few days.

The two of us used our free time to go around the village to inspect the traffic situation and the sales of agricultural products, and then go to the old branch secretary to discuss it together after we had a detailed plan, and see if we could cooperate with the village.

It was almost time to eat lunch that day, and the phone rang, and I got up and went outside to pick it up. There was only a family of three left in the room, and my mother looked at me and said meaningfully, "Jie, you have been at home for so long, do you have any plans?" ”

"Mom, I haven't thought about it yet, don't worry." I picked a chopstick and put the vegetables in my mouth and chewed, I didn't know what my mother was going to say to me, "I have only been back for less than half a month, you can't stand it, hurry me away." ”

My mother laughed, and then said, "I'm not in a hurry, you can live at home all the time, and the family can live in our house all the time?" The older generation always says, the door is right, the door is right, I heard you talk about the family of the family, we are still different from others. And he is still a little younger than you, although he has repeatedly promised me that he will not let you be wronged, but my mother still wants to remind you that two people live a life, no matter what the conditions are, what their identity is, if they decide to live a lifetime, then they have to learn to put their place in their place. When they are together, those two people are equal. If you have suffered any grievances, don't bear it, there are still me and your father at home. ”

I looked at my mother with some surprise, I never asked too much about me and my mother, I didn't think my mother would think so much. In fact, saying this today should mean that she is quite satisfied with the investigation of the family, and she can pass the test, but suddenly her nose is sore, and her tears can't stop flowing.

When my father saw me crying, he was a little anxious, handed me the toilet paper, and said, "I think that child is good, don't worry about it, aren't the two children very good!" ”

Mom glared at my dad fiercely and said, "Just don't worry about you, don't care about anything." ”

Dad immediately smiled and said, "Isn't this you!" ”

I looked at my parents, I said a word, and felt full of happiness, they didn't have so many tricks in our young people at that time, so many expressions, just simple, introverted feelings, but they can go through most of their lives. In fact, love really doesn't need much, as long as you have a simple and pure heart, everything is enough.

I quietly got up and left the room to my parents who were still bickering, and stood in the small courtyard looking at the family who was still talking on the phone not far away.

In the sun, his figure was so upright, seeing me, waving to me, smiling; I laughed too, and I felt more grounded than I had ever felt before.

After the call, the family slowly walked towards me, step by step, the two of us are like all lovers immersed in sweet love, there is only each other in our eyes, and nothing else.

"I'm done calling." Hey, I'll go~ As soon as my sweet little voice came out, I couldn't help but tremble, wooden way, wooden way, I feel so happy when I think of such a handsome person being mine, so sweet to say.

Cheng Jia was also startled when he heard my voice, and then he tried to control the muscles of his face, forced a smile, and nodded fiercely.

"Forget it, just laugh if you want to, I'm already embarrassed anyway, and I'm not afraid of you laughing." I puffed myself around, "There was good news for you, so I'll wait until you're done laughing." ”

"I'm not..." Chengjia still couldn't hold back his laughter and took my hand, "I'm so happy, it's so good, I like it." Come, tell me one more. ”

I reluctantly tilted my head and gave him a hygienic eye, and said fiercely, "Think beautiful." After that, I wanted to go back to the house.

Cheng Jia grabbed my arm, wanted to hug me but was afraid of being seen by my parents, so he could only continue to hold my hand, smile and say, "I was wrong, but I told the truth." Good ~ What good news do you have for me? ”

I didn't want to tell Chengjia so soon, but listening to his doting tone, I couldn't help but laugh with a happy expression on my face, held his hand with my backhand, and said quietly but clearly: "Chengjia, congratulations on passing the test!" ”

"Pass?" Cheng Jia was a little confused for a while, and repeated in a low voice, "Pass the test, I passed the test." Then the expression on his face changed from doubt to ecstasy, "Baby, are you saying that I passed the test, did I pass the test?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! You've passed! Seeing that he looked a little incredulous, I laughed even harder.

"Great, Jiabao, you know what, I'm ready to fight for a long time. Great, really great! Cheng Jia thought about it all the way, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but grin.

I was still laughing at the stupidity of becoming a family, this guy directly took my hand and walked to the back room, came to my parents, and said incoherently: "Thank you, uncle and aunt, thank you, I will definitely treat Xiao Jie well, please rest assured." ”

Seeing the expression of some excitement in the family, my father and mother looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. Mom then opened her mouth and said: "Xiao Cheng, her father and I are just Xiao Jie, although our family conditions are not very good, but this child also grew up as a baby, we don't have any requirements for you, I hope you can treat her well, you two can be good, we can rest assured." ”

Chengjia nodded, looked at me affectionately, and said to his parents seriously: "Uncle, aunt, don't worry, I will definitely do it." ”
