When it was time for dinner, the family returned to a happy scene, and Xiaowen's mother went to the supply and marketing cooperative, exchanged half a catty of meat for half a month's food stamps, and made her favorite fried pork.

"Xiao Mu, eat more. Xiaowen's mother eagerly added a few slices of meat to his bowl, which made him a little flattered.

"Auntie, you and Uncle eat more. I'm young, just eat noodles. Mu Yi hurriedly said a few polite words.

"Young people should eat well and grow their bodies. I can't digest this old bone after eating too much. Xiaowen's father smiled happily. Mu Yi heard Xiaowen say before that her father's name is Ding Lei, who is over sixty years old, and her mother's name is Liu Chunfeng, who is only in her forties. Although the two are old husbands and young wives, their relationship is very good.

Xiaowen on the side is also full of happiness, for her, this is the best day, with her own parents and a beloved man, compared to the dark life of the forest farm, this is simply heaven.

"Xiao Mu, what do you do, are you usually busy with work. "Xiaowen's father talked about this first topic, in this era, the most important thing is the ingredient issue, and no one is an exception.

Mu Yi had a very good attitude: "Uncle, I am a farmer, I have more than 20 acres of land, and I am busy for four or five months all year round, and I am idle the rest of the time." ”

"Hello farmer, the roots are red, Xiaowen is very good with you. Xiaowen's mother nodded with satisfaction, it was her greatest wish that her daughter could live a stable life.

But Ding Lei, who is a major general, is not so satisfied: "The peasants are good, but they also have to have a head." It's always in the field, what will I do in the future? ”

"I said Lao Ding, you manage so much, it's hard to protect yourself, and you still want to be promoted and make a fortune. Xiaowen's mother suddenly changed her face, threw her chopsticks on the bowl, and twisted her face to the side.

Mu Yi panicked all of a sudden, just now, how could he mention his work problem, the old couple turned their faces: "Uncle and aunt, I am still young, and there is still a long way to go." Rest assured, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know how to get motivated. ”

As soon as these words came out, Mu Yi felt that something was not right, and in this way, didn't he admit his identity as a son-in-law.

Sure enough, Xiaowen's mother's face immediately melted like snow, revealing a spring breeze on her face: "The person Xiaowen likes will definitely not be bad." My daughter has been high-spirited since she was a child. Don't pay attention to your uncle, I've been worried and scared all my life, and I'm not worried when I finally come out. ”

Xiaowen's father also laughed, after all, he was a person who had been in a high position, and he couldn't change his habit of wanting to give advice when he saw a young descendant. Seeing that he had ruined the atmosphere at the dinner table, he didn't say anything else, just asked Mu Yi to eat more.

After dinner, while the mother and daughter were cleaning up the table, Ding Lei quietly called Mu Yi into the back room.

"Uncle, is there anything wrong with you?" Mu Yi was the first to speak, he really hoped that this future father-in-law would not be satisfied with him, so he would be at ease.

But it backfired, and the future father-in-law patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's nothing, I'll hand it over to you Xiaowen, and you have to be good to her in the future." ”

Mu Yi nodded mechanically, he couldn't be at this time, and said that he didn't like other people's daughters.

"Just now, Uncle just gave you a heads-up. After all, Xiaowen was born in the city, and I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to stand the environment in the countryside, so I asked her everywhere to transfer her back to the city. Do you understand what I mean?" Ding Lei said in a roundabout way.

Mu Yi didn't know what he meant, Lao Ding didn't want Xiaowen to go back to the countryside with him to farm. This just gave him a chance to shirk.

"Uncle, I understand. Xiaowen did suffer a lot in Yunnan, and I couldn't bear to let her go back to the countryside. If you think it's inappropriate for her to follow me, I can think about it again."

"Dad, what are you talking about!" Xiaowen opened the curtain of the inner room, her eyes were red, and Xiaowen's mother, who was following her, was also indignant.

"Old man, are you going back the more you live? Xiaowen's mother angrily removed the door curtain, "It's not enough, you want to break up the two of them?"

"I, I. Ding Lei was dumbfounded for a while, he didn't know how to explain, he just wanted Mu Yi to stay in the city and not return to his hometown in Yunnan, but he didn't expect to cause such a big misunderstanding.

Mu Yi, the initiator, was also very helpless, who would have thought that the mother and daughter who were busy cleaning up the table would be eavesdropping outside, he could only help: "Uncle didn't mean that, he just"

"Mu Yi, you don't have to worry. I, Ding Xiaowen, have followed you in my life, no matter where you go, I will go with you. Xiaowen hugged Mu Yi angrily and demonstrated to her old father.

"Well, what's going on. Ding Lei patted the armrest of the wheelchair vigorously, "I don't object to you being together, I just don't want you to suffer in the future." ”

"Follow Brother Mu so that you won't suffer, he is the best person in the world. Xiaowen didn't understand the meaning of her father's words, but she still didn't give up.

Xiaowen's mother is also sighing on the side, constantly turning over the old accounts of the past few years, what is the official, she doesn't care about her family, how hard she has been at home all these years, and I haven't seen anything good about the official's wife.

Ding Lei's face was flushed with suffocation, and he almost didn't get angry. Originally, the family was finally reunited, and they should be happy, but the house was full of gunpowder.

Mu Yi sighed secretly, and now that he has no way to stay out of the matter, he has to say: "Aunt Xiaowen, you misunderstood, my uncle means that he doesn't want me to go back to the countryside of Yunnan, and plans to let me stay in Taiyuan." ”

"Yes, yes, that's what I mean. Lao Ding finally caught a sensible master, and quickly nodded in agreement.

"This is not very good" Xiaowen's mother stopped nagging, the old man's words can be said in her heart, who doesn't want their daughter to stay by her side, but after looking at Mu Yi, she felt embarrassed, "After all, Xiaomu is a man, and there are parents at home, how can you go to our house upside down." ”

Xiaowen hurriedly spoke: "Mu Yi's family is gone, and he is the only one left." After finishing speaking, he felt that it was not appropriate to say this, and hurriedly said to Mu Yi: "I didn't mean that, just to talk about the situation at your home." ”

Now, Mu Yi also plans to explain to him: "Uncle and aunt, blame me for not making my situation clear." I am from Mujia Village in Tonghai, Yunnan Province, and I am the only one left in Mujia Village after the earthquake in the first half of the year, and I have lost my memory, but I have been wearing a ring on my right ring finger, which means that I may have been married before, and my wife may still be alive. I don't want to delay Xiaowen, whether this thing can be done or not depends entirely on what your second elder means. ”

As soon as Mu Yi finished speaking, Xiaowen pinched him fiercely behind his back. She had known about Mu Yi's ring for a long time, and she had also said that even if his wife found her in the future, she would definitely have no regrets. But she can't say this in front of her parents, it's tantamount to a big problem for herself.

Unexpectedly, the two old men were overjoyed, and Lao Ding thought for a while and said: "It's been almost a year since the earthquake, and if your former wife is really alive, it's impossible not to go back to you." I was married before I married your aunt, and that's nothing. Besides, even if you have a ring, it doesn't mean that you have ever been married. It is unlikely that the customs of the Westerners will reach the village so quickly. ”

Xiaowen's mother also nodded in agreement: "It's not a big deal." Speaking of which, Xiao Mu is really pitiful, there are no relatives at home, and he is lonely when he goes back. We have a lot of relatives in Taiyuan, the New Year is booming, and your uncle's hometown Yuanqu, several villages are surnamed Ding, that's a lot of fun."

The two of them revealed a meaning in and out of their words, they didn't mind if he had been married before, they just wanted to know if he wanted to stay in Taiyuan. After all, it's a shame to plug in the door, if it weren't for Mu Yi's situation without a family, I'm really embarrassed to mention it.

Mu Yi didn't expect this to be the case, the last excuse was so simple to dissolve, he was about to bite the bullet and say that he still wanted to go back to his hometown in Yunnan, but Xiaowen spoke first.

"Mu Yi didn't plan to go back this time, you don't have to worry. ”

Xiaowen's mother immediately narrowed her eyes into a line: "That's it, that's good." ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier, you kid. It took me a long time. Lao Ding smiled with his eyes, "Then let's do it." Xiao Mu's household registration work or something will be handed over to me. It's getting late, so rest early. ”

Mu Yi was frightened enough by Xiaowen's words, and looked at her incredulously, so he almost asked directly in person when he said this.

Xiaowen winked mischievously at him, and went to the room outside the courtyard to clean up the bed with pride.

"It's really miserable for the whole family. Mu Yi patted his head, looked at the happy family on his face, and suddenly felt that this was not bad, "Forget it, if you come, you will be safe, how can I be such a big man, how can I be twisted into a sedan chair." ”

A year has passed in a flash, although Ding Lei's chest was snapping at the beginning, promising to solve the problem of household registration and work for Mu Yi, but he has not been settled. As soon as the festival arrived, he sighed that the world was hot and cold, and the old subordinates ignored him.

There is no local hukou, and the marriage of the two has been delayed. At this time, getting married is not a trivial matter, not only requires the man and woman to issue various certificates, but also the unit to issue a special letter of introduction.

This summer, Lao Ding had an accident again, and he was taken away again when he was just able to get off the ground. Only then did the whole family know that he was released back by the old leader in the name of medical parole, and now that he is well, he can only go in again.

Xiaowen's mother is like a frightened bird, she can't stand the fright anymore, for fear that Xiaowen and Mu Yi will be implicated. After thinking about it, she finally made a decision to let the two of them go to Yuanqu's hometown to hide for a few days to avoid the limelight.

In order to reassure the old man, Xiaowen left the house in tears and took Mu Yi to board the train to Yuanqu.
