Chapter 24: Meet the Parents

I heard Zhang Daqi's slander against me, but I didn't care. Everyone lives in this world, more or less will encounter a few bed bugs, if you are angry with this kind of villain all day long, what is the meaning of life?

Besides, I don't believe that Lao Liu came all the way to change his mind for Zhang Daqi's few words.

I went downstairs, and saw that the face of the insect was a little better, and the mood became cheerful, and said let's go, I'll take you to taste the sour soup noodles in our town, this thing doesn't look cheap, but it's very good, I used to only take the first place in the exam, so I had a chance to taste it.

I took the two girls to a small snack shop not far from the forestry guest house, ordered three bowls of sour soup powder, and put the hot chili oil in it, which immediately made people drool.

I ate to my heart's content, but the two girls were obviously not in the right taste, and Nian Nian frowned, saying what kind of taste is this, a strange sour taste.

I explained to her, saying that Dong sour and spicy, we have a lot of Dong people here, sauerkraut sour fish and sour meat, many are innumerable, they are all local flavors, you may not be able to accept it at first, but when you get used to it, you will feel that this bite is really indispensable.

Nian Nian said I don't want to get used to it, but fortunately I don't have to marry you.

As she said this, she gave the worm a malicious look.

And the worm ...... She actually blushed?

I was both happy and amazed, and when I looked again, I found that there was no -- uh, was it just my delusion?

After dinner, I discussed with them, saying that according to Xiao Liu's current physical condition, he may not be able to withstand Xiaohong's sucking, so I asked him to recuperate for two days first, at least eat well, and on the third day, I was sucking off the residual poison for him, and these two days were enough for us to purchase the corresponding medicinal materials and give him a coordinated treatment.

As for the matter of challenging Dunzhai Gu Miao...... Nian Nian said Aren't you Dunzhai Miao Gu, Lu Zuo is missing now, just let Sister Worm fight with you.

I looked at the worm and said, is this okay?

If you have something to say, don't beat around the bush, it's uncomfortable to listen.

I smiled and said Okay, in fact, in Dunzhai, there is also a person squatting in Gu Miao, I have met with him, he is an old man, I don't know where he retired, he said that he is also a Gu Miao in Dunzhai, but I don't know him, if the worm wants to follow the route of Chi Limei's predecessors back then, you can go and meet him.

Hearing what I said, the worm's eyes lit up at once, and he nodded and said yes, you can go and take a look.

I said I'd go tomorrow, and as for today, it's so late, so why don't you stay at my house -- my home is in the nearby village of Ryoji, less than ten minutes by car.

The worm said that since it was not in a hurry, let's go over.

I didn't object, and after leaving the snack shop, I walked through the town with the two of us to Ryoji, and along the way I seemed very relaxed, and told the two girls about the place where I grew up, and when I passed by the elementary and junior high schools where I studied, I also told them interesting stories about my schooling.

They listened with relish, and before they knew it, they arrived at Liangsi Village, where the proprietress of the village commissary was guarding the door of the store, and when she saw me coming home with the two girls, she couldn't help but smile and shout: "Lu Yan, yes, take your girlfriend home?" ”

The second sister-in-law of the proprietress of the commissary is a loud voice, this roar is like thunder, I smiled wryly and waved my hand, saying no, it is a friend.

The second sister-in-law smiled and said that this girl was really handsome, just like a star on TV.

The second sister-in-law stared at the worm directly, and thought that I would introduce it to her, but I made a sloppy eye and left with someone, and the second sister-in-law muttered behind me, saying Oh, it's amazing, after going out for so long, people have become rude.

I walked for a while, turned around, and said to Worm and Niannian: "I'm sorry, my family is like this, I love gossip, and I like to gossip." ”

The insect pursed her lips and smiled, and Nian Nian said depressedly: "Don't say it, she can see it quite accurately, I, a big living person, are in front of her, and I don't look at me, as if I am a human flesh background." ”

The three of them talked and laughed, but they were also happy, and soon they arrived at my house, I knocked on the door and shouted, "Mom, I'm back, open the door." ”

After shouting twice, my mother's voice came from the courtyard: "Didn't you say that you went after the girl, why did you come back so soon?" ”

Mother's words made me red-faced, and I looked at the side, there were no insects, and Nian Nian squeezed her eyebrows at me, with a gloating expression, and as soon as my mother opened the door, she saw that there were two young girls next to me, and she was immediately frightened, and said Ouch, Lu Yan, what's going on?

I was so stunned by my mother that I also had internal injuries, and said in a sullen voice: "Mom, this is my friend, I came here to do errands, and I am staying in our house for the time being-this is a worm, this is a thought." ”

When the mother came back to her senses, she immediately burst out with great enthusiasm, and greeted with a smile: "Oh, girl, come in quickly, come on, come, I'll go and clean up the guest room for you—have you eaten, I'll make you something to eat when you go back......"

She chattered and was full of joy, I accompanied me for a while, and found that I couldn't interject, but fortunately, the insects were quiet and lively, but there was no cold scene.

After a busy time, when the insects and insects had rested, my mother came and knocked on my door again, looked for me and asked in a low voice, "Lu Yan, which girl is it?" ”

I said vaguely, Mom, whatever you say, it's all my friend.

My mother patted me on the shoulder and said, "You child, you are the meat that fell from my body, can I not know what you want?"

Tell me, which one do you like?

I said which do you prefer?

When my mother heard me ask this, she immediately hesitated, but she actually thought about it seriously, and said that if it was based on her appearance, it must be the best insect girl, but that girl was cold and didn't like to talk, and she might not be suitable for getting along in the future; On the contrary, it's the one called Nian Nian, ouch, the little girl is called a cute, can speak, and her appearance is not bad, she is very lively, and you don't look at her thin, her ass is actually quite round, the outline is good, if you have a child in the future, it will be effortless...... My mother was nagging, and I heard it so much that I hurriedly stopped it, saying Mom, don't say this in front of others.

She glared at me and said I lived to be over fifty years old, and I didn't know this?

You are grateful, which one is my future daughter-in-law?

I lay on the bed, covered my head, and said Mom, don't think about it, it's nothing.

My mother was so angry with me that she choked and said that you are a dead child, you should sleep to death, I heard the propaganda officer in the town say the day before yesterday, saying that our country is now unbalanced between men and women, and it is estimated that there will be more than 10 million men in the future.

Although my mother scolded me, she got up early the next morning and made us authentic oil tea.

For camellia, insects and Nian Nian are no strangers, so they are still appetizing when they eat it.

After breakfast, we set off for Dunzhai, because the insects don't like transportation very much, so I didn't ride my father's favorite motorcycle anymore, and the three of us walked for two or three hours in the early morning breeze and the morning sun, and finally arrived at Dunzhai.

I went straight to Xu Erye's residence, and found that the door was locked, and I didn't see anyone there.

I was stunned, shouted a few times into the house, but there was no response, I was really depressed, and a middle-aged man with a dry tobacco in the neighborhood poked his head out and said Which one are you looking for?

I said I'm looking for Second Master Xu.

The man came out with a dry cigarette, looked at me suspiciously, and said that Second Master Xu went into the mountains, what are you looking for him?

I said that I was the cousin of Lu Zuo, the grandson of Long Laolan, and I had met him the last time I came, and he asked me to come back to him, so I came.

When the middle-aged man saw the insects and Niannian next to me, the suspicion on his face subsided a lot, moved a stool over, beckoned us to sit down, and then said: "He went into the mountain yesterday and said that he would come back today, but I don't know when, you can wait here now." ”

I saw him smoking, and remembered that there seemed to be two packs of Hongtashan in the bag, so I quickly took out a pack, handed him a cigarette, and said Uncle, smoke this.

The middle-aged man took the cigarette, glanced at it, and said, "Hongta Mountain, this is good."

He extinguished his dry smoke, then lit it, took a puff, and inhaled beautifully, and said, "Oh, yes, good smoke is good, but the taste is lighter."

I said that the taste is light, and the harm is less.

The two chatted for a while, and I began to talk to him, saying Uncle, Second Master Xu only came back in the past two years, right?

He said yes, I should say it's only been a few months since he came back.

I said that Second Master Xu is from our place?

He said yes, he was the grandfather of the old Xu family, he went out before the liberation, he was outside all the time, and there was no news, until the beginning of this year, he came back quietly - the people in their room died, scattered, and there was no one for a long time, and the other Xu family members were not close to him, but he didn't mind, and spent money to buy the ancestral house of the old Xu family, and then lived here, growing vegetables in the backyard every day, basking in the sun, and being leisurely.

I roughly inquired about the situation, and only then did I know that Xu Erye was really from Dunzhai.

What has he been doing all these years outside?

My doubts grew more and more in my mind.

The middle-aged man chatted with us for a while, I stuffed the two packs of cigarettes to him, he warmly greeted us at home for lunch, and then we waited until the sun set, that Xu Erye took a soil dog, with his hands behind his back, and slowly walked over from the side of the mountain.

I don't know why, he looks extra tall in the sunset
