"Mom, they're out ......!"

Li Xingruo, who was lying in the window, hid behind the curtain and secretly looked down, just like in his childhood, when he saw his parents go out, he could put down his books and watch cartoons.

But now it's different from when she was a child, she doesn't watch cartoons anymore, her parents are not at home, and she can do more adult things.

Lin Lu stood behind her, a pair of thick and warm hands came from behind her, gently landed on her flat lower abdomen, and also stood with her in the window, while peeking out through the gap in the curtains.

The afternoon sun was shining, an electric car drove out of the door leisurely, and the future mother-in-law drove the future father-in-law back to the village outside the town.

"Hey, isn't Uncle Li going back by car?"

"Stupid, my dad just drank, my uncle and they came back tonight, he must still drink, and my mom can't drive, so they will ride an electric car back."

"Sister Xingruo, I feel like I see what we will look like in the future."

"What does it look like?"

"It's like an aunt carrying Uncle Li, and you'll be carrying me when the time comes, isn't it the same?"

Listening to Lin Lu say this, Li Xingruo suddenly felt quite romantic, just like seeing young men and women walking hand in hand in the park on weekdays, it will not feel romantic, but seeing snow-white grandfathers and grandmothers walking hand in hand in the park will feel particularly romantic, time is the best catalyst for everything.

"Then my sister will take you to do some things that adults do!"

"What's the matter?"

Lin Lu came to his senses as soon as he heard this, and his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up, thinking that Sister Xingruo was really bold, as soon as Uncle Li and Auntie went out, would she dare to do adult things with him?!

"I'll take you for a ride, too!"

“……”

"What's the deal with your disappointed expression?"

"I thought ......"

"Why do you think?!"

"I didn't ...... I thought that the electric car at home was ridden away by my aunt, but I didn't expect Sister Xingruo to have one? ”

"Of course, my one was won in my own lottery, and the one my mother rode was bought by herself."

"That's great, let's go for a ride now!"

"Pack up your things first!"

Li Xingruo slapped away the pig hand he was holding on her waist, Lin Lu had to go over to get the suitcase, the two of them didn't bring much clothes when they came back this time, they were all packed in a suitcase.

There are three rooms on the second floor, and last night, Chen Yingping had already cleaned the second floor, cleaned up her daughter's room and Lin Lu's room, laid clean sheets, and replaced them with clean bedding.

"You're going to sleep in this room tonight!"

Lin Lu's room is separated from Li Xingruo's room by a living room, because this room is not usually inhabited, and the furnishings and arrangements are very simple, and the other room is Li Xingruo's study, which also has a small bed, but more is all the books and learning materials she has accumulated over the years, and the little girl has not lost any of them, and even the textbooks from elementary school are still kept.

"I thought my aunt would arrange for me to live with Sister Xingruo."

"What do you think, my mother didn't let you go up to the third floor to live!"

Lin Lu opened the suitcase, took out a few pieces of his clothes and put them on the bed, and the rest were Li Xingruo's things.

"Sister Xingruo."

"What's the matter, if you dare to sneak into my room in the middle of the night, if my mother knows, I will definitely let my dad discount your legs."

“…… I didn't say that again! Even if Sister Xingruo invites me to go, I don't dare to go! ”

"Hmph, I think that's what you think."

"Sister Xingruo, don't spend my belly with your own heart!"

"And what do you want to say?"

Li Xingruo sat on his bed, after all, this is her home, although this is his bed at this time, but she feels that it is also her bed, and lay down on his bed with a big grin, humming and rolling on his quilt, she likes the smell of the clean quilt mixed with laundry detergent and sunshine.

"Sister Xingruo, did you say that Auntie, did they suspect that we already had something?" Lin Lu also lay down beside her and whispered in her ear.

"Which what?" Li Xingruo blushed slightly and glared at him.

"That's what Sister Xingruo thinks now."

“…… How can it be?! ”

She has always been a good girl in front of her parents, but just thinking about this kind of thing makes her face smoke rise from shame.

Not to mention, Lin Lu reminded her that Li Xingruo recalled carefully, as if when she first came back, her mother looked at her with more scrutiny and curiosity than usual.

"They asked you?"

"No, how can you ask me, I look like an honest person."

"Phew!"

Li Xingruo rolled her eyes, if this stinky forest road was an honest person, there would be no hooligans under the sky, it was okay in the past, but now when she hugged her, those hands always drilled into her clothes when she had the opportunity, and she wanted to chop him with a knife.

"Don't care what my parents think, anyway, when you're in front of them, you give me honesty, don't move your hands or feet."

"How dare I! It seems that the person who did this is Sister Xingruo, right! ”

Li Xingruo pounced on him, rode on him, covered his head with a pillow, and the two were very happy.

Sure enough, the time when Lin Lu came back with her became much more interesting, someone accompanied her to talk and chat, and someone accompanied her to play without shame, instead of going home in the past, she stayed on the second floor alone and bored, and it is estimated that she is also playing with her mobile phone on the sofa with her legs crossed.

How can mobile phones have fun with forest roads.

Li Xingruo climbed on Lin Lu's back and lay on his stomach, and asked him to be a horse for her, she patted him, and Lin Lu bleated, carried her suitcase to her room and helped her pack her things.

"You're a horse! Not sheep! How can a horse bleat? ”

"And what do you call a horse?"

"The horse is barking!"

"Sister Xingruo learns like this, I don't learn like it, then I'll ride you next time."

"Get out, who's going to give you a ride! Hurry up, hurry up, go away! ”

"Sister Xingruo sent the wrong instruction, the password is wrong, I won't leave."

"Drive~! Drive~! ”

"Bang!!"

Lin Lu ran all over the house with her on his back, and Li Xingruo lay on his back, hugging his neck tightly, giggling happily.

Girls are like this, as long as someone is pampered, no matter how old she is, she will be like a little girl who has not grown up, such a sweet and sweet mood is the best tonic for reducing age.

Compared with the room on Lin Road, the furnishings and arrangements in Li Xingruo's room are much richer, and it has a strong taste of a girl's room.

"Oops!"

Li Xingruo, who was taking clothes from the suitcase, said with annoyance.

"What's wrong?"

"I forgot to bring the little quilt back!"

“…… What is the origin of Sister Xingruo's little quilt? ”

"From small to large."

"Shouldn't I have been using it since Sister Xingruo was a baby?" Lin Lu was shocked.

“……”

If Li Xing didn't answer him, it was the first time in so many years that she actually missed the little quilt when she traveled, I hope the little quilt doesn't blame her.

"It's all your fault, it's all your fault."

"Sister Xingruo forgot to bring it herself, what does this have to do with me......

It must have something to do with this stinky brother, he slept with her these days, so she didn't sleep with the little quilt these days, and she slept very well, because she brought Lin Lu back this time, so she forgot about the little quilt, who is to blame, if you have insomnia tonight, he will definitely be responsible.

Lin Lu opened her wardrobe curiously, in addition to her previous textbooks, her school uniform was still kept, Lin Lu took her school uniform out of the wardrobe as if she had found a treasure.

"Is this the uniform of Sister Xingruo's high school?"

"yes, oh don't you turn it out, wait a minute, get dirty......"

"Sister Xingruo, quickly change into a school uniform, I'll take a look!"

"No."

"Put it on, doesn't Sister Xingruo want to experience the youth who used to wear school uniforms? Change, change, change. ”

“…… I really can't help you. ”

Lin Lu was holding a winter school uniform jacket, which was different from the black and white color scheme of his high school uniform, and she was wearing a blue and white color.

Not to mention, my twenty-two-year-old sister put on this sixteen or seventeen-year-old high school uniform, and the pure and youthful feeling of youth immediately came to the surface, which made Lin Lu's eyes suddenly light up.

"It's really good, Sister Xingruo's school uniform should be kept well."

“…… I seem to see your dirty thoughts. ”

"I didn't say anything!"

Lin Lu seemed to be looking for treasures, looking for traces of Li Xingruo's growth, from her room to the study, looking at the textbooks she had used before, Sister Xingruo is really amazing, since elementary school, her grades are so good, he saw her previous homework books and test papers, the paper has begun to yellow with the precipitation of time, the clumsy and cute handwriting, as well as all the awards she won when she was studying, and the teacher's message on the student card......

On the bookshelf, Lin Lu also found several of her photo albums, it turned out that Sister Xingruo in her childhood actually had short hair like a child, looking like a little boy, ugly and cute, and then after junior high school, she gradually grew up, and also kept long hair, and when she was in high school, her hair was cut shorter and became shoulder-length, and then now, the length of her hair is up to the waist.

From these items and photos of her, Lin Lu saw all the details of the growth of this sister next door, so Sister Xingruo became more and more real in his eyes, he seemed to see her whole life, and sighed that such a lovely sister appeared by his side.

Probably this is the biggest takeaway from this trip to Liangxi, Lin Lu feels so truly integrated into her life journey for the first time.

"Oh, don't look at it! Ugly! What's there to see! ”

"No, Sister Xingruo is very cute."

Li Xingruo pounced, snatched the photo album in his hand, closed it and put it back in its place, and didn't show it to him again, he always felt that there would be more black history.

Looking at the time, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and I was supposed to rest, but at this time, both of them were in good spirits, and even if they were lying in bed, they would never sleep obediently.

Li Xingruo opened the drawer and took out the key to the electric car: "Let's go, my sister will take you to have a good walk in Wutong Town!" ”

"It's really fake, does Sister Xingruo know the road?"

"Put away your contemptible words! In Sycamore Town, I won't get lost with my eyes closed! ”

With a gift to her grandparents later, Li Xingruo locked the door and took Lin Lu to ride her winning Xingruo electric car around Wutong Town.

As a tour guide, she was in charge of riding, and Lin Lu stuck behind her like a backpack, and the electric car rode slowly and leisurely, and he looked curiously and seriously at the town where she grew up.

"This is the market!"

"It's so hilarious!"

"It's a holiday, it's very deserted on weekdays, like the New Year or something, it's very lively, and people who go to work outside are back."

Li Xingruo is keen to take Lin Lu to places in the town that have her unique memories, such as this barber shop, and she told Lin Lu that it was here to cut her hair when she was a child.

"Does the boss just cut his head?" Lin Lu said with a smile.

"Hey, how do you know?"

"I see that Sister Xingruo often cut her hair super short when she was a child."

“…… You know what, short hair is easy to take care of! ”

"Is this Sister Xingruo's previous middle school?"

"That's right, my sister was the first in the school back then!"

"That's amazing."

"I saw that this small stationery store at the school gate has been open for thirty or forty years, and it has been there since my father was in middle school."

"Antique!"

"Uh-huh, almost, and this sugar water shop, the sugar water in it is very cheap."

"Then Sister Xingruo, doesn't she go to eat sugar water every day?"

"How could it! At that time, I didn't have much pocket money, ten yuan a week, and I had to buy a notebook! ”

"Hey, is this Uncle Li's hardware store and Aunt Chen's clothing store?"

"Eh, can you recognize it?"

"Sister Xingruo said before, Uncle Li and Auntie's shops are next to each other, and now that both of them are closed, you can guess it at a guess."

"Hmph, it's the town that's too small!"

Yes, Wutong Town is really small, but Lin Lu feels very rich, walking in it has a feeling that even time has slowed down together, nearly half of the various small shops seen are open for more than ten years, in the context of the ever-changing times, the signboards of these small shops have not even been changed, and a proper shop has been passed down for three generations.

It took half an hour, the two of them finished visiting Wutong Town, maybe in the past when he came to such a town, Lin Lu may not have the slightest wave, but this is the town where she was born and raised, with her emotional blessing, Lin Lu is a good stroll, he will fantasize about her walking in such a small town, who she meets, what words she will say, the bits and pieces of life, and depict her now one by one.

Leaving the town, Li Xingruo drove him on the country road back to the village on an electric car, and at about four o'clock in the afternoon, a few white clouds floated in the sky, which would bring a big shade, and the two rode under the shadow of this cloud.

On both sides of the country road are vast fields, as far as the eye can see, there are rice trees fluttering in the wind, a large green field, the sky is blue and clear, the stream that winds far away has a gurgling stream, and a few ducks float by the pond, occasionally stepping on the green waves and flashing their wings on the water, tilting their heads to look at them curiously.

Li Xingruo told him that the rice planted now is the second crop, and that the rice planted in June has now begun to tassel, and it will be ready to be harvested in another month or two.

"Has Sister Xingruo ever cut rice?"

"Yes, but I'm tired! Now most people rent harvesters to harvest, and the village has also engaged in a project to let people in the city experience harvesting, and many people in the city came to experience it last year. ”

"Isn't this the same as picking strawberries and citrus, you have to pay for it yourself, and you have to calculate the price by the pound when you are done, and it is ......expensive."

"That's right, you must not be so stupid to experience, you have to be laughed at by the people in the village to death, pay money to do farm work, and be idle."

"I don't cut crops, and when the autumn harvest comes, I bring a sketchpad to sketch."

"Well, the scenery is really good."

As the car drove into the village, Li Xingruo pointed to a small two-story building, where her grandparents lived.

There were two cars parked at the door, as well as the electric car that Uncle Li and Aunt Li rode over, the door of the small courtyard was open, and from a distance, Lin Lu heard the bustle in the small courtyard.

"My uncle, they're back!"

"It's over, Sister Xingruo, I'm a little nervous again."

"There are a lot of people, anyway, you can just call me whatever I want."

The two got out of the car, took the salute, and walked into the courtyard side by side.

Lin Lu guessed right, there were really many people in the courtyard, although there were only a dozen or so, but in his eyes it was like a black one, as he walked in with Li Xingruo, everyone in the courtyard stopped talking, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes focused on him together.

Among them, two old men, Lin Lu could guess that they were Li Xingruo's grandparents, and two pairs of middle-aged people and women, estimated to be her uncle and aunt, and then there was a young man older than Li Xingruo, estimated to be her cousin, the girl who looked like a senior sophomore or so was probably Li Xingruo's cousin.

"Xiao Ruo Xiaolin is back, your grandparents and uncle are chatting about you, it's just right to come back, Xiao Ruo, you introduce them to you!" Chen Yingping, who was on the side, smiled first.

Although Lin Lu was a little nervous, he was still very calm, and before Li Xingruo's introduction, he was not stage frightened, with a sunny and hearty smile on his face, he nodded lightly to everyone who came over.

The uncle on the side also hurriedly moved two chairs over and put them on the coffee table for them to sit down, and the third uncle also began to pour tea with a cup, and the grandparents were a little presbyopia, and they also leaned over slightly with a smile to see the young man's face.

"He, he's Lin Lu."

Obviously, compared to being in her own small home, in such a big family, Li Xingruo was more nervous and shy than Lin Lu, and after introducing Lin Lu to everyone, she introduced her family to Lin Lu.

"This is my grandfather."

"Hello grandpa!"

"Grandma."

"Hello grandma!"

"Oh yes, the young man is so tall!"

"Uncle."

"Hello uncle!"

I have said hello to my relatives separately, and I know each other.

This big family is very enthusiastic, but Lin Lu doesn't need to think about any topic to chat, everyone will take the initiative to ask him questions, Lin Lu only needs to answer generously, and many times he doesn't need to answer, because Uncle Li and Aunt Chen on the side will help them answer, and he and Li Xingruo are only responsible for being an atmosphere group and laughing.

"I said Ah Hua, look at Xiao Ruodu has brought her boyfriend home, when will it be your turn to bring a girlfriend home for everyone to see?"

“…… I'm not looking for it! ”

Hearing this, Li Xingruo had no choice but to say sorry to his cousin in his heart, cousin, I didn't mean to backstab Brother Hua! If they don't rush you, they'll come to me!

"Yes, yes, Brother Hua, you should hurry up and find a girlfriend! I want to see what my future sister-in-law looks like! Li Xingruo also made up for it.

Don't really say it, from being a marriage urging army to a marriage urging army, don't talk about this feeling!

My cousin suddenly felt big, why did Xiao Ruo suddenly get off the list? The little cousin is only in his first year of high school, isn't this pure and pure for him to fight alone!

Compared with the lunch meal, the dinner in the evening is much more lively, everyone sits around a huge round table, the table is full of delicacies, grandparents usually stay at home and are deserted, today to see such a person, if you also brought your boyfriend to the door, the mood is also extraordinarily high.

"Xiaolin, be your own home, don't be polite."

"Mmmm, it's so hearty!"

The elders were too enthusiastic, Lin Lu ate so much that his stomach bulged, and he accompanied his grandfather Uncle Li to drink two glasses of wine.

After dinner, the moonlight also fell, grandma began to worship the moonlight, and Lin Lu and Li Xingruo also went to burn incense together.

Cousin Ahua also made a few Kong Ming lanterns, and called Lin Lu Li Xingruo and his little cousin to go outside to play with the lights.

The candle flame reflected the faces of the two, and Lin Lu and Li Xingruo jointly held up the Kong Ming lantern.

"Is Sister Xingruo's wish finished?"

"Alright! Put! ”

The sky lantern carrying the wishes of the two floated slowly, and under the reflection of the moonlight, a deep and beautiful trajectory was drawn.
