After a short time, passing through the village, the carriage came to Xu Dongsheng's house at the end of the village, an old wooden house, with a fence in front of it to form an empty yard, and the wall was about half a person high.

A middle-aged couple in the yard was drying rice and corn, it was Xu Dongsheng and Xu Jie's parents Xu Guosheng and Li Xiulian, hearing the sound outside the yard, Xu Guosheng and Li Xiulian, who were busy working, also stopped what they were doing, looked up outside the yard, and just saw Xu Dongsheng driving at the front of the carriage, Xu Dongsheng also saw his parents, and shouted from afar.

"Dad, mother!" Xu Dongsheng shouted from afar, his face showed joy, he has been in Lantian Town for most of the time since following Uncle Jiu, and there is not much time to go home, he has not returned home for a long time, and when he sees his parents, he has a kind of cordiality, Xu Jie in the back carriage also heard the voice of his eldest brother in front of him, and he quickly lifted the curtain of the carriage, stretched his head out, and shouted: "Dad, mother!"

"Dongsheng, Xiaojie!" Xu Guosheng and Li Xiulian in the courtyard saw Xu Dongsheng and Xu Jie, and their faces showed surprise, but then they were puzzled, first glanced at Lin Tianqi who was driving in the carriage behind, and felt a little familiar, as if they had seen it before, but they didn't expect it for a while, and then looked at the carriage in front of them, and at this time, Uncle Nine also opened the curtain of the carriage: "Master Lin." ”

This time, Xu Guosheng and Li Xiulian recognized it, Lin Tianqi and they couldn't remember it for a while, because they had only met Lin Tianqi once, and it was two or three years ago, and it was normal for them not to remember it for a while, but Uncle Jiu's words, the two naturally remembered it clearly, when Xu Dongsheng apprenticed to Uncle Jiu, his son's master, it was naturally impossible for the two not to recognize it.

"Quick, master, go and open the door, it's Master Lin and Dongsheng who are here, go and see the door." Recognizing Uncle Jiu and his party, Li Xiulian hurriedly put down the work at hand, urging Xu Guosheng to trot to the door together and open the courtyard door, at this time, the carriage also arrived at the open space outside the courtyard gate, stopped the carriage, and Xu Dongsheng was the first to jump down from the carriage: "Dad, mother!"

"You kid, Master Lin won't say it sooner if he wants to come. Li Xiulian said on the lips, slapped Xu Dongsheng lightly, walked forward quickly, and warmly greeted the ninth uncle who came out of the carriage with Xu Guosheng: "Master Lin", "Master Lin", "......"

The husband and wife saw that Uncle Nine was very enthusiastic, with a kind of respect, and Uncle Nine also greeted the two with a smile, and at this time, Lin Tianqi and Xu Jie also walked down from the carriage behind.

Xu Jie called her father and mother and ran over happily, while Lin Tianqi walked up to his master from behind, then looked at Xu Jie's parents and said politely.

"Hello uncle, good aunt...."

Lin Tianqi politely called the two, Xu Guosheng is thin, ordinary, dark-skinned, and somewhat similar to Xu Dongsheng, while Li Xiulian is obviously more beautiful, with willow eyebrows and big eyes, although she is old, and life in the countryside looks relatively old, and her skin is poor, but she can still see her young beauty from her face, which is somewhat similar to Xu Jie.

Obviously, Xu Dongsheng and Xu Jie, two siblings, Xu Dongsheng's genes were inherited from his father, and Xu Jie's genes were inherited from her mother.

"This is Tianqi, I haven't seen you for a few years, you're so tall, and you've become handsome. ”

At this time, Xu Guosheng and Li Xiulian also recognized Lin Tianqi, although they didn't remember it at first, but now that they saw Uncle Jiu, the two of them also remembered their sons.

"Quick, quick, come in, sit, sit,.... Master Lin, please ....."

After saying hello, Xu Guosheng and Li Xiulian hurriedly and warmly greeted the group into the courtyard.

"Good. Uncle Nine nodded with a smile, and then instructed Lin Tianqi and Xu Dongsheng: "You are two senior brothers and sisters, take out the things too." ”

"Yes, master. The two brothers answered, turned around and walked towards the carriage.

"I'll help too?"

Xu Jie Dao also followed Lin Tianqi to the carriage behind, while Xu Guosheng and Li Xiulian led Uncle Jiu into the courtyard, but their eyes couldn't help but glance at the back, especially when they saw Xu Jie following Lin Tianqi, they couldn't help but look at each other, and they all saw the different colors in their eyes.

The two of them were keenly tight, and they felt something, but they didn't speak, and enthusiastically led Uncle Jiu into the courtyard, and then went to get snacks and make tea, and after a while, Lin Tianqi, Xu Dongsheng, and Xu Jie also took out the prepared gifts from the carriage and moved them into the courtyard.

"Boss, you first accompany Master Lin and Tianqi to chat for a while and drink tea, I'll go get rice, Dongsheng, you go catch a chicken, and then kill the duck raised in the backyard, Xiaojie, you and I go to the garden to pick vegetables." ”

After boiling the tea, Li Xiulian said to Xu Guosheng again, let Xu Guosheng be responsible for greeting Uncle Jiu and Lin Tianqi, and instructed Xu Dongsheng to catch chickens and kill ducks, and then he took a basket, called Xu Jie and walked out of the yard to his vegetable garden.

"Xiaojie, you tell your mother, what's going on?"

As soon as she got out of the yard, after walking on the road and seeing that there was no one else, Li Xiulian immediately tried to see the dagger and asked Xu Jie.

From the first appearance of Uncle Jiu and Lin Tianqi, she and Xu Guosheng felt unusual, and then saw so many gifts taken down from the carriage behind, although they hadn't opened it yet, they didn't know what the gifts in those boxes were, but Li Xiulian and Xu Guosheng had already keenly felt the unusual.

After only herself and Xu Jie were left at the moment, Li Xiulian immediately asked the question in her heart, in fact, the main purpose of her letting Xu Jie and herself go to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables was to ask this, as for picking vegetables, one person was completely enough.

Xu Jie was questioned by her mother, and her face turned red all of a sudden, and she said-

"Brother Lin and Master Lin are here to propose marriage this time. ”

"Propose. Li Xiulian was shocked, but she was not too surprised, and then asked: "You and Master Lin's big apprentice..."

"Hmm. Xu Jie blushed and nodded.

Li Xiulian paused when she heard this, then stretched out her finger and poked Xu Jie's forehead, pretending to be angry.

"Stinky girl, such a big thing, why don't you squeak at home in advance. ”

"This, isn't this coming back now?" Xu Jie whispered.

"You. Li Xiulian's tone choked, and she seemed to be a little angry, but then her expression softened and asked, "Tell me honestly, mother, when did you and Master Lin's big apprentice start, where did you go, how are others, do you really like him....."

"Lin.... Brother Lin is very good, I ..... I like him a lot...."

Xu Jie's speech was a little hesitant, and she always felt a little embarrassed to talk about this kind of topic with her mother.

"And does he like you?"

Li Xiulian asked again, looking at Xu Jie seriously, she felt that this point was the most important, two people got married, the most important thing is whether the two parties really like each other, only if both parties like each other's marriage, it is happy, otherwise if it is just one party's single liking, then even if they get married, this marriage may not be happy.

"Well, Brother Lin said that he will take care of me for the rest of my life. ”

Xu Jie said in a low voice, and after saying this, her whole face turned red.

When Li Xiulian saw Xu Jie like this, she immediately couldn't stop sighing and shook her head, because she had already seen that her daughter had been completely trapped, and she estimated that if she asked anything about Lin Tianqi at this time, Xu Jie would only say good, not bad.

"Mother, do you agree?"

After a pause, seeing that her mother didn't speak, Xu Jie couldn't help but raise her head to look at her mother and asked, with a look of nervousness and expectation, as a child, her marriage naturally hopes to be recognized by her parents.

When Li Xiulian heard this, she was not angry.

"The way you are now, even if I don't agree, will you still listen to me? ”

"Hey, the girl doesn't stay. ”

After speaking, he deliberately sighed again.

Xu Jie blushed and lowered her face, but her heart was sweet, she knew that her mother said so, so the marriage was basically agreed.

........................

"Crackling... Crackling ....."

Not long after, outside the courtyard of Xu's house, the sound of firecrackers sounded, and Xu Dongsheng ran to the courtyard and set off a few strings of firecrackers, as if swearing to celebrate.

"Dongsheng, what's going on, look at your jubilant appearance, what's the happy event, is it that your kid is looking for a girl...."

The neighbors in the village were alarmed, and a middle-aged man who was familiar with Xu Dongsheng looked at Xu Dongsheng and asked with a grin.

"Uncle Zhao. Xu Dongsheng also looked over when he heard the middle-aged man's voice and shouted with a smile, and then said: "It is indeed a happy event, but it is not me, it is Xiao Jie, Xiao Jie and my senior brother are engaged." ”

Xu Dongsheng greeted the man with joy.
