"I'll say it again." Xu Douxiao saw that Ning Jun was frightened by his sudden anger, and softened his tone, "Let's deal with the two of us, don't bring Yuan Ben, you said you want to tell my parents, I have no opinion, I will cooperate when and in any way." ”

"Then it might as well be now. I have a vacation, you don't have a job, and today we'll make this clear. ”

"Okay."

So an hour later, they appeared in the waiting hall of the train station, the ticket back to Xu Douxiao's hometown was lying in their respective wallets, they had also traveled together in the past, all laughter and laughter went smoothly, Ning Jun also felt lucky to find a good man who had withstood the test of traveling together, and now he only felt ironic when he thought about it, he didn't want to look at him again, and put on headphones to close his eyes.

Xu Douxiao also felt depressed and ran outside the hall to smoke.

When he was standing at the door and smoking, he received a call from Yuan Ben.

He cleared his throat, trying to keep his voice sounding unremarkable, "Hey." What's wrong? Can't write it again? “

"My dear. I need to go back. Yuan Ben's voice was a little panting, and the background sound was very messy, like a noisy place in life, "I called from the museum just now, let me go to the unit tomorrow to cooperate with the investigation and listen to the results." Unfortunately, the plane and train were out of tickets, and I grabbed the last ticket for the long-distance bus and had to leave immediately. ”

"You're at the station?" Xu Douxiao felt that God was still on his side, so he coincidentally matched Yuan Benfa far away, and his voice was a little unstable when he didn't control it.

Yuan thought he was angry, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Dou Xiao, I'm sorry, I don't want to leave you alone in the hotel, but the urgency here, I bought a ticket and went straight to the station, I wanted to take a detour back to see you, I really don't have time." ”

"It's okay, I'm not angry." Xu Douxiao comforted him, "Work is important, are you going to resume your work?" ”

"I don't know very well, but Qin Momo said that the tone of the mouth has changed recently, let's go back and take a look."

"Okay, be careful yourself." Xu Douxiao instructed him, "Send me a message when it's time." ”

"Okay, okay. I'm going to get in the car, you also pay attention to your body, call us. Yuan Ben paused, and his voice lowered, "I love you." ”

"I love you too." Xu Douxiao slowly spit out a puff of cigarette, the taste of tobacco and mint lingered in his mouth, it was still bitter and astringent just now, because this sentence became sweet and cold, he felt that he had the strength to fight against the world again.

He extinguished his cigarette on the trash can, turned and walked back to the waiting hall, where the train to W City was about to depart.

W city is not far from S city, also belongs to the south of the Yangtze River, the climate is similar, but the eating habits are far from the same, compared to the thick oil red sauce, the chili pepper here is more popular, seeing that it is about to enter October, it is still like a stove, after nightfall, the earth releases the heat that absorbs the day.

Xu Douxiao and Ning Jun didn't have any luggage, they traveled lightly all the way, when they arrived at Xu's house, it was only eight o'clock in the evening, the time for dinner had passed, and it was too early to eat supper, Xu Douxiao called home in the car, did not say anything specific, only said that he was on a business trip nearby, and he happened to come with Ning Jun, and there were some things to say to the second elder.

The most anxious saying in the world is "something is not easy to say, face to face", which usually means that the matter is not small, difficult to solve, sad and gratifying, and the face-to-face interview gives a time difference, and the person waiting to talk has enough time to cranky himself and scare himself. Mother Xu sat on the edge of her seat when she answered the phone, and pulled Xu's father to analyze when the two children needed to come over together.

"I always feel that something is wrong, and it is not a good thing." Mother Xu walked from the kitchen to the living room, then from the living room to the bedroom, and finally turned back to the living room and stood with her waist crossed in front of Father Xu, who was concentrating on watching the seven sets of agricultural wealth programs in the central government, "If it was a simple door-to-door visit, she wouldn't have been in such a hurry, she didn't mention it when I talked to Ning Jun on the phone two days ago." ”

"Oh, don't scare yourself, the two of them have been talking for so long, and they are even engaged, maybe there is something good, but it's just not good to talk about it on the phone." Dad Xu couldn't watch TV left and right, so he took a sip of a cup of tea and comforted him.

"Why can't good things be said on the phone?" Mother Xu glanced at him, "Isn't your son just sending a message for such a big thing as being engaged." ”

"There are some good things that are not easy to say." Xu's father gestured in front of his stomach, and Xu's mother immediately understood, screamed, covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

"Oh, it's really hard to say. The son is really, how can a body like Ning Jun still toss back and forth. After she was happy, she began to be anxious again, "Then you have to prepare for this wedding quickly, otherwise it will not look good in a wedding dress when you are old, and you will make people say that we have no rules." These two people are really, carelessly, too carelessly. ”

"I'm guessing it maybe."

"Your mouth, the most ingenious." Mother Xu recognized that this was the case, "Oh, there are too many things to be busy with, I haven't seen my in-laws yet, I don't know what I think over there, hey, it's too rushed, it's too rushed." Luckily, I was prepared. ”

Seeing that her anxiety changed from being overwhelmed to being mixed with anxiety, Father Xu shook his head, and then lay comfortably on the sofa and continued to read his "Bamboo Rat Farming".

Within a few minutes, Xu's mother took out a thick binder from the study, which is the homework he has done since Xu Douxiao's adulthood, about the customs and taboos of the wedding, the market price of the bride price, the telephone number of the wedding company, the style of the host, the style of the wedding scene (with Chinese and Western style as the two categories, and the following is also divided into several sub-categories according to the theme), wedding dresses, Chinese dresses, makeup artist information, team information, wedding photography, etc., but all the information related to the wedding is classified and sorted out. Contains text and pictures, constantly updated with fashion trends, each piece of information has a serious comment on the rules and rules of the mother in italics, and its content is rich and detailed, I am afraid that many people who are professionally engaged in wedding work can not compare.

She has been doing this rigorous work for 12 years, the binder is getting thicker and thicker, and the popular style of the wedding has been reincarnated, Xu Douxiao is finally willing to get married, and the binder can finally come in handy.

"What are you doing lying there?" Mother Xu took reading glasses and spread out her wedding ceremony on the dining table in the living room, "Hurry up and go out to buy vegetables!" My son and daughter-in-law will be back in the evening. ”

"It's past eight o'clock when they arrive, what are they going to eat?" Dad Xu was too lazy to move, "I have already eaten in the car." ”

"Can you eat anything on the train? It's just a casual makeover! Can Ning Jun's current body survive? Why don't you care at all, that's your own grandson, the root of your old Xu family! ”

Father Xu had no way to refute it, he could only blame himself for guessing just now, and even the gender of the child had been arranged after such a short period of effort. He shook his head, resigned himself to changing clothes and buying vegetables, listened to Teacher Xu's arrangement, and purchased a melon, fruit, vegetables, Qin, meat, eggs, and milk that should be good for pregnant women, which are rich in variety and expensive, and are a grade that Chinese New Year's Eve meals can't catch up.

Before six o'clock, the old Xu family made all the dishes into semi-finished products, and they waited for the little two to enter the door and fry them.

As soon as Xu Douxiao and Ning Jun entered the door, they saw such a warm welcome and forcibly suppressed their joy, and after they announced the answers, they smiled lovingly and said, "After all, my parents are from here, and I have already guessed it" - such a turbulent atmosphere.

"Oh, why is Ning Ning's face so ugly, is it uncomfortable to sit on the train?" Mother Xu liked Ning Jun very much when she saw her, she had a gentle and considerate personality, she looked white and clean, she took care of Xu Douxiao very well from head to toe, she was completely like an ideal daughter-in-law, and every time she called, she wanted to chat and was afraid that her daughter-in-law would run away. Seeing her face blue today, she was distressed, so she hurriedly welcomed her in and arranged it on the sofa, and instructed Father Xu to serve the soup, "Auntie knows that the food in the car is not delicious, and it is ready, you drink this soup first, and it has been boiled for more than three hours, it is very nutritious." ”

"Thank you, Auntie." Ning Jun took a sip of the soup, and Father Xu watched her drink it happily, and hurried back to the kitchen to cook.

"Wait a minute, Ning Ning, it's all your favorite dishes."

The more considerate the second elder of the Xu family took care of her, the more uncomfortable Ning Jun's heart became, the warm heat of the soup made her eyes red, and tears fell uncontrollably, smashing into the soup bowl drop by drop.

Her crying frightened Mother Xu: "What's the matter, Ning Ning?" Why are you crying? Is Xu Douxiao bullying you! Tell Auntie and I'll teach him a lesson! ”

Ning Jun just cried and didn't say a word, Xu's mother had to turn her head and ask her son, who had been silent: "Xu Douxiao!" What's going on! You bullied Ning Ning?! Good two people, why can't you give in more? ”

Xu Douxiao didn't speak, standing there like a piece of wood, his face was no better than Ning Jun's, Xu Mu suddenly realized that this sad and gratifying news was probably not developing in a happy direction.

She steadied herself and sat on the single sofa on one side: "What happened to the two of you?" I didn't make it clear on the phone, and I didn't say anything when I came back. No matter what the matter is, listen to my old woman's advice, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, it is not easy to take a step back is a step, and it is not easy to find someone who can spend your life together. ”

Hearing her say "spend your life together" Ning Jun cried even more, Xu Douxiao gritted his back molars and took a deep breath, and Xu's mother continued: "Since you want to go home and talk to us, then say it, the old man will help you set up a reason, some things are the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear." ”

"He's going to break up with me." Ning Jun sobbed and complained, "Because of Yuan Ben!" ”

The words 'break up' and 'Yuan Ben' exploded in Xu's mother's head like two bombs, and their power was no less than the two dropped on Hiroshima.
