Meet the family.

The most relaxed people should be Xu Zhimu, who has known everything for a long time, and Xiao Wu, who doesn't know anything.

Rhubarb shook his head and circled around everyone excitedly.

Early this morning, the family killed a chicken and a duck, and the father of the primary sister went to the town to buy half a sheep and half a pig, as well as more than ten catties of beef.

I pushed the cart back and forth and walked more than two miles of mountain roads before I bought it back.

There are not as many things as prepared on this day during the New Year.

"It's all here, the mountain road is not easy to walk, it's hard, come on, come and sit in the house quickly."

Grandma hurriedly opened her mouth and asked for someone in the room.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not far......"

Xu's father and Xu's mother also smiled and walked over.

Entering the house, the simple furnishings, almost no electrical appliances, tables, chairs and benches, are also old objects that have been used for a long time.

My elementary sister's father went to boil hot water to make tea.

Grandma took a towel and carefully wiped the stool that had been wiped several times.

"Sit down and rest, and the meal will be ready in a while."

Grandma looked at Xu Zhimu's parents.

Today, although Xu's father and Xu's mother are not wearing a famous brand, they are also carefully prepared, Xu's father also specially combed his hair and touched the hair wax, and his leather shoes are also polished.

After all, he is also a member of the system, and he still has the temperament of some cadres.

Although Xu's mother's conditions since she was a child are not as good as Xiaomi's mother, she is also worry-free about food and clothing, and the family conditions have been getting better and better in the past two years.

Mother Xu also pays more and more attention to maintenance, and she also looks like a leisurely woman in the city.

In short, the temperament of the two people is so incompatible with this small house and the old furniture around it.

Mother Xu and father Xu looked at the room, and in their memory, this kind of living condition was many years ago.

In this society now, there is still such a poor place, and Liu Ningqing, the girl, grew up in this kind of place since she was a child.

Thinking about it, their hearts couldn't help but feel sorry for Liu Ningqing.

"Sit down, the stool is freshly wiped and not dirty."

Grandma looked at the eyes of the two people, and smiled a little restrainedly.

The condition of the home is still thanks to Xu Zhimu's help in renovating it, otherwise it would be even more dilapidated, and the previous ground was all dirt and a little broken bricks were casually paved.

If it rains, it may leak and the house will be covered in mud......

They knew what the two children were thinking.

But getting married and engaged, after all, is a matter of two families.

What they are most worried about is whether the boy's family will feel that the family conditions are not good, and whether their granddaughter will be angry when they marry it......

"You are so polite, we are here today to come to see your second elder's body, my son usually has a big personality, and thank you for tolerating him..."

Mother Xu looked at the second elder in front of her, and also thought of her father and mother.

"Otherwise, I'll help with the cooking."

"No, no, how good is this, you all come from afar, you are all guests, let's cook."

"It's okay, it's my own family when I come, I'm here to help, let them drink tea and chat......"

Mother Xu smiled and rolled up her sleeves, and then gently gave Father Xu a look.

The best way for men to talk is at the wine table, and the fastest place for women to get acquainted with is the kitchen.

"Zhimu, don't be stunned here, hurry up and help pour tea."

Mother Xu also explained to Xu Zhimu.

"Auntie, let's cook together too."

Liu Ningqing also wanted to cook, but was stopped by Mother Xu with a smile: "No need, Qingqing, you can take a good rest, just go Auntie." ”

Liu Ningqing watched Xu Mu enter the kitchen, because the kitchen at home still burns firewood, and it is inevitable that there will be dust or something.

There is dust on your body after every time you burn the pot.

"Just let my mom go."

Xu Zhimu smiled and came over and pinched her cheek, then took her little hand and looked at the situation in the living room.

"Do you want to know what our dad is talking about when we sit together?"

Xu Zhimu smiled and said in her ear.

Liu Ningqing looked at the living room, and was actually very curious about what his father would say to Xu Zhimu's father.

After all, when it comes to marriage, it is usually the father in the family who makes the last decision.

"It's... It's not good to eavesdropping......"

Liu Ningqing blushed a little, but she still couldn't bear her little thoughts, and looked over with Xu Zhimu sneakily in the direction of the window.

And in the living room.

Xu's father and Liu Ningqing's father, both of them usually talk very little.

At this moment, the two of them are facing each other, but they don't know how to say a word.

After that, the father of the primary sister watched that the tea was brewed and brought a cup to Xu's father.

"Let's take a cup of tea first."

"Oh, good."

Father Xu also hurriedly took it, and then the two of them fell silent again.

After two or three seconds, Father Xu remembered and took out a cigarette from his arms and handed it to him.

"Let's smoke a cigarette."

"Well, good."

Liu Ningqing's father also hurriedly took it.

The two of them lit cigarettes and took a puff, but the atmosphere was still a little awkward.

After a while, Father Xu still spoke.

"My son is frizzy sometimes, so he didn't cause any trouble for the family."

"No, no, this kid is very good to Ning Qing, and he has a lot of help at home, but it's Qingqing, this kid is introverted, you have bothered a lot."

"No, no, Ning Qing is a good girl, filial to her family, and motivated, we all like it very much."

The two fathers didn't say a word, and finally slowly began to talk together.

The two people lying on the window couldn't help but smile at this moment.

watched the two fathers blow each other in business here, and it was the two of them who blew it.

This is the recognition of parents, young couples fall in love, and can be recognized by each other's families, which represents another major breakthrough in the relationship between the two people.

Liu Ningqing's face was ruddy, and listening to the words inside, her ears were soft.

Xu Zhimu gently hugged her soft waist from behind her, leaned into her ear and rubbed it gently.

"It seems that I will really be able to call your wife soon, come and call your husband first."

Xu Zhimu whispered, feeling the temperature and heartbeat of the girl in his arms constantly rising.

Husband and wife, this title is really greasy and sticky, like sealed honey maltose, just sounding enough to make people's mouths full of sweetness.

“… Badass ......"

But here, Liu Ningqing is still a little shy, after all, she is not engaged yet, so she starts to call her husband, and it is okay to shout in private.

When you shout in front of your own grandmother and grandfather, as well as your father...... It's a bit too shameful.

"The bad guy husband is not bad, I'll shout this in the future."

Xu Zhimu kissed Liu Ningqing's cheek and smiled happily.

Then I suddenly felt that something was wrong with my gaze behind me.

As soon as I turned my head, I saw that in the kitchen, Mother Xu and Grandma were talking and laughing and walking out with dishes.

Just happened to see the two of them hugging each other, Xu Zhimu was still smiling, like an old rascal, leaning over to kiss Liu Ningqing, who was flushed.

"I... I ......"

Liu Ningqing was stunned, and the whole person was like a steamed crab, shrinking into Xu Zhimu's arms and not daring to show his head.

Mother Xu and Grandma had a tacit understanding and glanced at each other.

"Eat, eat, stinky boy, hurry up and serve the bowl."

Xu Zhimu also quickly became a little more honest, laughed awkwardly twice, and was ready to go to the kitchen to serve food.

Liu Ningqing blushed and hammered him twice, and followed him to serve the meal.

Today's table is full of all kinds of dishes.

Chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, cattle and sheep, the specifications of the New Year are like this.

Grandma and Grandpa's idea is very simple, and the best way to greet guests is to arrange the best things in the house.

"The mountains are no better than the cities, and there are no things, so don't dislike the lack of vegetables."

Grandma said, looking at the room full of things done today, and then at her granddaughter and Xu Zhimu.

Everyone has a happy color on their faces.

"It's a lot, it's a lot, and we can't eat so much during the Chinese New Year."

Mother Xu opened her mouth with a smile.

Xu Zhimu brought wine, directly moved a few boxes of Moutai, took out two bottles and put them on the table, and drank some more or less.

Mainly Xu's father and the primary sister's father, two men who usually talk little, finally slowly opened the conversation with the strength of wine.

"This son of my family has become less and less worry-free over the years, thanks to Qingqing watching by his side, otherwise I don't know how many mistakes I have to make."

"Qingqing has been introverted since she was a child, and she has hardly spoken to her peers, and it is thanks to Zhimu that this child has always enlightened her and taken care of her......"

"Ah, Qingqing, this girl is gentle and filial, this stupid son of my family is blessed."

Mother Xu opened her mouth and said, holding Liu Ningqing's hand with one hand, the more she talked, the happier she became, and the more she watched it, the more she liked it.

Liu Ning's heart seemed to be filled with honey, and her eyes were full of gentle and happy colors.

While eating, I finally brought the topic to engagement.

Mother Xu gently kicked Father Xu under the table.

Father Xu received the information, and this silent man was a little nervous at the moment.

reminded him of the scene when he and his father went to Xu's mother's house to ask for marriage.

In the blink of an eye, he became a father.

"I came here today, I also thought that the relationship between the two children was so good, and our family thought that we could prepare for the two children earlier."

Father Xu's words fell.

Grandma and Grandpa, as well as Liu Jun, are also looking in the direction of Liu Ningqing and Xu Zhimu at this moment.

At this moment, Liu Ningqing also gave Xu Zhimu the ribs to eat, the chopsticks paused slightly, and the whole person was ruddy.

didn't speak, but he did bow his head slightly, and sat very close to Xu Zhimu.

Everything is in plain sight.

Liu Jun looked at his daughter, as if he had seen the past.

After a moment of silence, Liu Jun spoke.

"The matter of the two children, as long as the children are willing, we have no opinion."

Liu Jun looked at his only daughter, and the old father's heart was naturally mixed.

The wine was surging, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist: "My daughter, I have suffered too much since I was a child, and I am not capable of being a father, I'm sorry for her, I don't ask for anything, I just want to ...... She'll be better off in the future. ”

Liu Ningqing's body also trembled slightly, and when she looked at her father, her eyes moistened.

Xu Zhimu gently held one of her hands under the table.

At the beginning, the conditions of the family, not to mention the four walls of the family, were almost the same.

Girls are seventeen or eighteen years old, the most beautiful age, but Liu Ningqing can only close herself layer by layer.

Not to mention any cosmetics, brand-name bags, even a new dress, she is reluctant to buy a dress, a dress has been worn for a year or two, and the things used are sewn and repaired.

Even if he buys meat once, he will let Xiao Wu eat more, and he will use steamed buns to dip some vegetable soup......

Such a gentle and beautiful girl, but in the first half of her life, she endured all the bitterness in life.

Xu's father and Xu's mother also experienced it today, and their hearts couldn't help but be sour.

Father Xu patted Liu Jun's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, we all like Qingqing's child very much, and if others have it, we won't let Qingqing be less, and in the future, Qingqing will be our daughter." ”

As he spoke, Father Xu raised his wine glass, and Liu Jun also touched the corner of his eye, revealing a smile.

"Good, good... Such a happy day makes you smile. ”

"In the future, we will all be a family, whether we smile or not, it's all for the good of our children, come, I'll drink one with you."

"Okay, drink one!"

……

After the meal, Father Xu and Father Liu drank a lot, and they were still chatting about the future of the two children.

Mother Xu accompanied the two old men to brush the pot and wash the dishes, and secretly stuffed a big red envelope for Xiao Wu by the way.

At home, there is a peaceful atmosphere.

Liu Ningqing and Xu Zhimu both drank a little wine.

Liu Ningqing's eyes kept moist tears in the corners of her eyes, and she looked at Xu Zhimu.

She knew that after today, the two of them could really get engaged.

"Chiki, I want to go somewhere."

Liu Ningqing took out a basket covered with cloth from the room, walked over and gently took Xu Zhimu's hand.

Xu Zhimu looked at her and nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

The two of them held hands and slowly walked out of the small courtyard.

In October, there is already a slight coolness in the mountains.

Walking on the path in the forest, Xu Zhimu saw the small stream that he came with last time.

It's just that the amount of water in the stream is not as much as in summer at the moment, but it is also more secluded.

And......

"Chiki, look... It's the tree we planted last time. ”

Liu Ningqing pointed to a few small trees in front of her.

That was the last time I came, and I planted it with Wang Ningning and Chen Wei.

It's been a few months since it was planted.

They all survived, and they looked a little thicker.

Liu Ningqing pulled him over, looking at the little saplings that were thriving, just like looking at the crystallization of two people.

"It's good."

Xu Zhimu also touched the trunk of the tree, and looked at Liu Ningqing with a smile: "But if you want to bear fruit, it may take a few years, maybe your belly will be big by then, and the fruit of this tree has not grown yet." ”

"I..."

Liu Ningqing's face suddenly turned red again, and she raised her hand and hit him gently.

"I hate you, can this be the same......"

"How is it different, is it all the crystallization of our love, or are you planning to give me a big fat son tomorrow?"

Xu Zhimu looked at her with a smile.

Liu Ningqing snorted at him, ignored him, and pulled him to continue walking up the mountain.

Soon, in the distance, I saw a tomb.

Behind the grave, a tree, in October, had begun to turn slightly yellow, and now the afternoon sun was shining through.

It's like, in the smoke and rain of Jiangnan, a beautiful girl holding a translucent oil-paper umbrella.

And this tree, like a cover, like an umbrella to shade the sun, is not protected from wind and rain.

Xu Zhimu looked at the tombstone, this was the third time he accompanied his junior sister to the grave.

He originally wanted to leave some distance for Liu Ningqing to talk alone.

But this time, Liu Ningqing grabbed his hand.

The gentle gaze made Xu Zhimu seem to drown in her eyes.

The two of them were speechless, but they knew their minds.

Liu Ningqing opened the package in his arms, which contained the prepared meals and placed them in front of the grave one by one.

Liu Ningqing took out a soft cloth and gently wiped the dust in front of the tombstone, but the tombstone was very clean, and if I thought about it, my father had already come.

"Mom, I'm here today to tell you good news......"

Liu Ningqing's voice seemed to be the warm sun of April, she gently grabbed Xu Zhimu's hand, she slowly knelt down, and Xu Zhimu followed.

"Mom, you said... In this life, you must find the person you like, and you must not compromise your bottom line and drown your tenderness because of life.

Today, I really did ......"

Liu Ningqing smiled, like a little girl coquettish to her mother, and with some little pride.

She looked sideways at Xu Zhimu, and all the stunning colors in the world could be found in her eyes.

"Mom, his name is Xu Zhimu, a person who likes to bully people and is very bad-hearted."

Liu Ningqing suddenly began to complain, Xu Zhimu was slightly stunned, looking at this somewhat different Liu Ningqing at this moment.

Perhaps, no girl was born so introverted and self-isolated, perhaps, before the mother of the elementary school sister left.

Liu Ningqing is also a little girl who can be coquettish and willful.

But since her mother is gone, the burden of the family has forced her to grow up overnight.

Perhaps, she and An Xiaomi, in fact, are the same kind of people.

It's just that Liu Ningqing endured hardships in the first half of his life.

And An Xiaomi, maybe he ate the sweetness of the first half of his life.

Xu Zhimu looked at her small appearance of constantly complaining, and then looked at the tombstone in front of him, but he felt a little distressed in his heart.

"Mom, I've really found it now, I've found that one, and I can name the boy I like without hesitation.

Mom, I like him, I like this boy who bullies me every day and always takes care of me.

I love watching him munch on my cooking, I love his flamboyant tongue every day, and I love how much he likes me without reservation......"

Liu Ningqing has always been a girl who is ashamed to talk about love, but today, she said a lot in one breath......

Her ears were slightly soft, but at the moment she was full of courage, and she took the hands of the two people together.

Looking into each other's eyes, she looked at the tombstone again, her pink lips lightly opened.

"Mom... We're getting engaged! ”

Liu Ningqing's gentle and firm voice made Xu Zhimu's heart tremble slightly.

Betrothal......

This girl, who has been obsessed with two lives, is reborn in one life, and what she wants the most in her heart.

Now, it's really going to happen.

Xu Zhimu's heart also seemed to have a tsunami-like voice constantly echoing.

The afternoon breeze in the mountains also carried the last trace of warmth, and the wind gently swept the leaves of the treetops.

Under the hazy afternoon sun of the mountain stream, the warm sunlight shines through the fluttering leaves, and the shadows of the trees flicker on the faces of the two people.

A blade fell gently, and slowly, landed on the palms of two people's interlocking fingers.

It's as if that gentle and gentle woman gently sends her blessings......

Here, in this chapter, the line of the junior sister is more complete.

The next chapter is Xiaomi.

Thanks for the support, there was still in the evening.

In addition, the monthly pass is the last day tomorrow, and everyone has a vote to see if they can go up to 2,000
