The engagement banquet came to an end, and the time came to four or five o'clock in the afternoon.

At four or five o'clock in winter, the sky is already a little dark.

Xu Zhimu seemed to have forgotten about An Xiaomi, and took Liu Ningqing to greet the guests at each table.

There aren't many people here today, but they're all very important relatives or close friends.

Xu Zhimu's grandmother and several aunts and uncles also came, looking at Xu Zhimu and Liu Ningqing holding his arm.

Before you know it, you've grown so big.

Xu Zhimu, who is dressed in a straight suit, and Liu Ningqing, who is dressed in a white wedding dress, although it is said that on the day of marriage, all the brides and grooms are the most beautiful.

But this pair is really good-looking, a bit too much, Xu Zhimu in a suit and leather shoes is like a humble and polite noble son, with a confident and gentle smile on his face, which makes people always feel that he is not just a twenty-year-old young man.

And today's heroine next to her, a white wedding dress still can't hide her slender figure, she quietly held Xu Zhimu's arm, but also greeted everyone generously, and in terms of appearance and temperament, she did not lose An Xiaomi.

The two of them stand together, completely talented and beautiful.

"This is my aunt and my uncle."

"Auntie, uncle..."

Xu Zhimu introduced with a smile, and Liu Ningqing greeted him with a smile behind him.

Several people at the table stood up with a smile and said hello, and a middle-aged woman came to Liu Ningqing, looking up and down with a liking.

"Okay, our family Zhimu really married a good daughter-in-law, come here is the red envelope that my aunt prepared for you."

The middle-aged woman took out a red envelope and stuffed it into Liu Ningqing's arms.

"This, you can't ask for it..."

Liu Ningqing was a little at a loss, because she was just engaged, and it always felt a little bad to receive red envelopes at this time.

"If there's anything you can't want, you have changed your mouth and called my aunt, this is considered a change of mouth fee, you must accept it!"

The woman smiled, and the more she looked at Liu Ningqing, the more she liked it.

"Take it, auntie's mind."

Xu Zhimu also nodded with a smile, my aunt's relatives are the closest in addition to the direct family.

Liu Ningqing accepted it with a little blush.

The woman also looked at Xu Zhimu again, and said with relief: "You kid too, I always feel that you are a little older, and you are engaged in a blink of an eye, my eldest nephew can be regarded as promising, and I will know to others well in the future, when will I have a child, my aunt will knit a new dress for the child in advance." ”

"Auntie, don't worry, we will work hard."

Xu Zhimu nodded solemnly.

Liu Ningqing's face turned red, and she didn't know what to say.

After that, Xu Zhimu's uncle also prepared a red envelope and patted Xu Zhimu on the shoulder.

When my uncle was a child, he took Xu Zhimu to the river to fish and buy him a toy gun or something, and after all, he was the son of his own sister, and he was still very fond of him since he was a child.

"Good boy, grow up, let your mother hold the eldest grandson as soon as possible in the future, and I will take him down to the river to fish in the future, hahaha......"

"Forget it, uncle, when you were a child, you took me down to the river to practice holding your breath, and you almost drowned me, you forgot how my mother hammered you?"

"You kid, tear down your uncle's platform!"

Saying that, everyone present couldn't help laughing, these funny things when they were young are also unique memories between relatives.

Saying goodbye to relatives, the two of them continued to walk forward, Xu Zhimu turned his head to look at Liu Ningqing who was in a daze with a red envelope in his hand, and he said with a smile.

"My relatives usually get along quite easily, and they may say whatever they say casually, don't worry."

Xu Zhimu thought that her relatives had just mentioned the matter of giving birth to a child, which made her feel embarrassed.

"No, it won't."

Liu Ningqing suddenly blushed and shook her head, she held the red envelope in her hand, and a touch of gentle emotion appeared in her eyes: "Actually, I envy you for such a relationship,"

Xu Zhimu looked at her, and followed her gaze to the guest seat.

In the position of relatives, only Xu Zhimu's seven aunts and eight aunts are located, and Liu Ningqing's side, except for her family, not a single relative has arrived.

"My relatives, they used to think my family was poor, and they were afraid that my family would borrow money... They broke off a long time ago, and now I can't even remember what they looked like... So I envy you that there will be so many people who are good to you when you are a child. ”

Liu Ningqing said slowly, and smiled a little complicatedly.

Xu Zhimu understands this situation, especially the poorer the place, in fact, the more explicit human nature is often revealed.

Poor in the downtown area no one asks.

Especially in that kind of isolated mountain village, it is not easy to support yourself, without money, there is no noble humanity, this sentence is true to some extent.

However, Xu Zhimu also felt very sorry for her, Liu Ningqing's life when she was a child may be much harder than she originally understood.

He went over and gently hugged her in his arms and rubbed her soft cheeks: "It's okay, my relatives will be your relatives in the future, didn't you hear?" My unreliable uncle also said that he would take our children down to the river to fish in the future."

Liu Ningqing's eyes flashed with a hint of tenderness, and looking at Xu Zhimu's eyes, he couldn't help but smile stupidly.

The banquet is almost over, and the invited guests are ready to leave one after another.

As night fell, almost all the people in the hall left one after another, or they were drunk in the hotel and went to rest.

Xu Zhimu and Liu Ningqing are two families sitting together, although they are engaged, but according to folk sayings, now the two families can call each other in-laws.

Father Xu and Father Liu both drank a lot of wine today, but they were both uncontrollable joy.

"Today's engagement is finally over, and we will be in-laws in the future, thank you for handing over such a good girl as Qingqing to Zhimu, we will treat her well."

Xu's father's face was flushed, he was usually old and steady, but today he is also chattering non-stop, an old father, can see that his son has a successful career, marries a wife and has children, and he will have the face to face the ancestors and ancestors in the future.

"Whether it's a child like Zhimu, it's good for Qingqing, and it's also filial to adults, so we can rest assured."

The Liu family also said with a sigh.

"Yes, yes! Since the appearance of the eldest brother, Sister A's smile has become more every day! ”

Xiao Wu ate the lobster meat, and also raised his oily little hand in agreement.

"Wow!" Rhubarb is also gnawing on bones under the table at the moment, and they are all bones of meat.

The dog thought to himself, he didn't forget to take me to eat meat for hundreds of miles, this big brother decided on his own!

Xu Zhimu and Liu Ningqing looked at each other, and they couldn't help but smile.

"By the way, the children also want to buy a house in Zhengcheng, we have already chosen a good location, the environment is good, the transportation is convenient, and it also relies on an international kindergarten and a primary school in the city center, so the children will go to school directly in the future......"

"That's good, now they are also in their sophomore year, and they will be juniors soon after the start of school, and I heard that college students will start internships in their junior year, and they are all starting to prepare for having children."

The parents of the two parties were discussing enthusiastically.

Father Xu and Father Liu drank a lot more and were helped to rest.

The hotels are all already rented and they are all here to rest today.

Xu's father called An's father during the period, but he was explained by An's father that he still had work tomorrow, and he brought it over in a word.

Liu Ningqing's grandparents were also old, and they were busy working early this morning, and they all went to prepare for bed.

Xiao Wu, a child, slept when he was full, and his stomach was bulging when he ate rhubarb, and he was happily napping in Xiao Wu's room.

Mother Xu was busy serving tea back and forth.

Although Xu Zhimu also drank a little wine, his mind was extremely clear.

The engagement banquet finally ended smoothly and happily.

But there is one more thing that has been pressing on Xu Zhimu's heart.

At the dinner table just now, Xu Zhimu never said anything about An Xiaomi, after all, there is still a junior sister's family.

If Xu's father and Xu's mother knew about this, no matter what choice they made, they would definitely be uncomfortable in their hearts.

This day that everyone has worked hard to create must let this day pass.

Liu Ningqing went back to the room and talked to her grandparents again.

And Xu Zhimu was sitting in the living room, his suit had not been taken off, and he looked out of the door silently.

Although it is engagement,

At this time, a cup of hot tea was placed in front of him.

"If you don't accompany your daughter-in-law, why are you staying here?"

Mother Xu looked at her son.

Xu Zhimu took a sip of tea, looked at his mother, and actually thought about whether to tell her about An Xiaomi.

"Xiaomi, did she go home to rest?"

However, Xu Mu suddenly sat next to him and asked.

Xu Zhimu was a little unexpected: "Mom, why do you ask that?" ”

Mother Xu sighed in her nose: "Just the two of you are careful, can I still see it?" Xiaomi's character, it is impossible to say goodbye on such an occasion, what happened to her? ”

Xu Zhimu looked up and looked outside, and smiled helplessly: "Mom, Xiaomi, she ...... Suddenly fainted and was taken to the hospital. ”

"What, what?"

Mother Xu still didn't expect it, and the hot kettle in her hand was almost not steady.

She stood up abruptly and looked at her son, her eyes full of worry: "Xiaomi, how is she now?" ”

"In the hospital, I invited a specialist, and I am still in a coma, but my condition has stabilized."

Xu Zhimu said slowly, and Xu's mother paced back and forth.

"Then why don't you ...... Huh. ”

She wanted to ask why she didn't say it earlier, but the next moment she figured out the good intentions of An Xiaomi's family.

"Xiaomi, this hard-working child, you say it's okay, what's the matter."

In Xu's mother's eyes, tears were about to roll: "Now that the wedding is over, should we go and see?" ”

"My dad, they drank a lot today, and they still need you to take care of them."

"Then what should I do, if I don't go to see this, what do I think in my heart......"

Mother Xu said helplessly.

Xu Zhimu also looked up at the ceiling, and just wanted to nod and say something, when a gentle voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Mom, I'll go with Zhimu."

Xu Zhimu and Xu's mother turned their heads to look, Liu Ningqing, who was dressed in a white wedding dress, slowly walked from behind them at this moment, and she came bathed in luster.

Coming to Xu Zhimu, she pursed her lips, and finally showed a smile, a white wedding dress was also as beautiful as angel wings under the light.

"Before I get here, though, I'm going to one last place."

……

Xu Zhimu and Liu Ningqing got into the car and began to drive in the direction of the street.

A fork in the road out of the hotel.

One was the road leading to the hospital, while the vehicle was heading the other.

Mother Xu held the kettle in her hand, looked at the place where the vehicle left, and finally just sighed and nodded.

The vehicle returned all the way back to the entrance of the family home.

Xu Zhimu looked at the familiar family courtyard, he looked sideways at Liu Ningqing, she was dressed in a white wedding dress, and her eyes were shining at the moment.

Just now, the last place Liu Ningqing said.

It's home.

In the morning, they change their wedding dresses from home to get engaged, and they also return home in the evening to change their wedding dresses.

In this way, this engagement can be regarded as a real successful end.

"We're home."

Xu Zhimu smiled slightly, got out of the car first, and then came to the other side, helping Liu Ningqing open the car door, Liu Ningqing stretched out a hand, gently put it in Xu Zhimu's hand, and stepped down from the car with her slender legs in high heels.

The two men held hands and slowly walked up the stairs.

At the door of the house, there is also a big red Xi.

The moment you open the door gently and turn on the light, the familiar home is full of lights.

These are all adults start to dress up early in the morning, in the small room, there are only two people at the moment, there is no luxury and excitement at the engagement banquet, the lights are yellow, but they are extraordinarily warm.

Perhaps, this is something that only the family can give.

Xu Zhimu looked at Liu Ningqing, Liu Ningqing looked around at this moment, with a faint warm and happy luster in his bright eyes.

"Qingqing, there are some things I want to say to you."

Xu Zhimu didn't want to spoil the warmth at the moment, but there was no point in delaying some things.

Liu Ningqing turned her head to look at him, but she gently stretched out a finger and gently placed it on Xu Zhimu's lips.

"Chiki, do you remember the last time you danced with me?"

Of course, Xu Zhimu remembered that it was the night when Liu Ningqing put on a wedding dress for himself for the first time.

"Of course I do."

Xu Zhimu nodded.

Liu Ningqing handed his hand to him again: "Then dance with me again, okay?" ”

Her smile was warm, and her eyes were like stars in the sky in the pale yellow light.

"Okay."

Xu Zhimu slowly held her jade hand, and the other hand gently hugged her light and slender waist, the wedding dress shook gently, in this small living room, the festive dress of the lights was not inferior to the magnificent hotel hall.

The two of them swayed in the living room, as if in the middle of the dance floor.

Liu Ningqing was put on some thin makeup by the makeup artist, and her originally beautiful face became more and more exquisite at the moment, and this holy and noble wedding dress also made this girl who used to blush for a long time when she looked at him, and now she looks more and more mature.

But in Xu Zhimu's eyes, she and herself will always be the moment when they first met.

From self-isolation, to gradually walking in the sun, from not daring to look at others at the beginning, to now being able to stand in the spotlight.

All the beautiful moments that belong to her are cherished in Xu Zhimu's heart.

"Zhimu, what are you talking to, you can say it to me now."

Liu Ningqing was still snuggled in her arms, the two of them moved quietly, her gentle eyes flashing.

Xu Zhimu looked at her, and those churning memories gradually formed a complete symbol in his mind.

His gaze became firmer, and he spoke as he held her waist.

"Qingqing, I like Xiaomi, I know I'm a jerk, but I also promised her that I will not give up on her in this life, no matter whether she survives this injury or not, I will love her for the rest of my life.

It's like loving you and never changing. ”
