In the 1970s, I sold my iron rice bowl, stocked up space and went to the countryside

It was agreed before that we would go to Aunt Liu's house for dinner.

Lu Qingyang did not refuse and agreed cheerfully: "Okay, Aunt Liu."

"Little Lu, since you are here for dinner, just bring a mouth, and don't prepare anything else!" Aunt Liu also specifically reminded him again.

"Okay, I'll bring a mouth!"

This is to thank the Shen Mo family, so he is here to eat for free.

Even if he brought something, Aunt Liu probably wouldn't accept it.

Uncle Shen has come to the Liu family with the help of Shen Mo.

There are two brothers in the Liu family, one is called Liu Dong and the other is called Liu Fang. Gou Wa is Liu Dong's child.

Liu Dong is already married, and the older child is Gou Wa.

When Shen Mo came, Aunt Liu immediately brought Gou Wa to kneel in front of her, "Gou Wa, kowtow quickly, if it weren't for this aunt, you would have lost your life."

Gou Wa knelt down obediently.

Lu Qingyang took a closer look and found that Gou Wa's eyes were indeed much clearer, but why was there a hint of unruliness in this clarity?

When he recalled the first time he saw him, he only knew how to smile foolishly.

Why did his eyes now... not look like the innocence of a child.

But there was nothing unusual about his behavior.

Uncle Shen felt something was wrong. In the past, Aunt Liu always asked Gou Wa to call Shen Mo sister, but why did she suddenly change her mind today?

Aunt Liu spent a lot of money this time and put all the delicious dishes collected at home on the table.

Big stew, stir-fried hairy mushrooms, stir-fried vermicelli...

Lu Qingyang was just a foil today. He occasionally raised his glass and drank a few sips with everyone, but more often he just listened with a smile.

Since he drank too much deer blood wine last time, he felt dizzy when he saw the wine, but he still reluctantly drank a few sips.

"Lu Zhiqing, besides Shen Mo, we should thank you the most!" Uncle Liu held his hand and chattered.

"Hey, you are really capable, you jumped into the Ta River and you are safe and sound. It must be the mercy of the river god. Good deeds will be rewarded."

Lu Qingyang smiled lightly, thinking to himself, it was not the river god's work, it was all his own.

"Don't be polite, come, eat more, eat more!" The old man greeted enthusiastically.

Aunt Liu on the side also smiled from ear to ear, praising Lu Qingyang: "Our Lu Zhiqing is a hardworking and down-to-earth young man, very rare!"

They drank homemade sorghum wine, which had a light sorghum flavor.

Lu Qingyang shook his head, "I really can't drink anymore."

At the end, Lu Qingyang really couldn't drink anymore, so he simply lay down on the table, pretending to be drunk to avoid drinking again.

Shen Mo was making grasshoppers for the children to play with. Aunt Liu seized the opportunity and said tentatively:

"Old Shen, what do you think of my son Gangzi? He is strong and good at work! He is twenty this year. If I remember correctly, your son Shen Mo will be eighteen after the New Year, right?"

Grandpa Shen's hand trembled slightly. It turned out that he had other intentions.

"Old Shen, I am really grateful that your son Shen Mo saved Gou Wa. It's just the two of you. Jianming is not coming back. Shen Mo will get married in the future. We know each other well and we are neighbors."

Shen Jianming is the second son that Grandpa Shen cut off his relationship with.

Aunt Liu paused for a moment and continued, "If Shen Mo can become a member of our Liu family, I promise that I will treat her like my own daughter. After all, she is Gou Wa's lifesaver.

Our whole family will remember this kindness and will never treat her unfairly. Gangzi is also a filial child and will be filial to you."

Liu Fang lowered his voice and muttered timidly, "Mom, I told you before that I was reluctant in my heart. "

Aunt Liu waved her hand and pushed him aside, slightly impatient: "Go away, it's not your turn to interrupt this matter."

Turning back, she changed her face to a smile: "Speaking of the betrothal gift, our family will never lack any of the things that should be prepared.

Shen Mo, this child, has a fate with our Liu family. If she can marry here, it will be a close relationship and become a family."

Uncle Shen also knows the old Liu family, at least he will not treat Shen Mo badly.

What he fears most is that Shen Mo will follow her mother's old path, and he has seriously thought about this matter.

"This matter... Let me think about it again, at least I have to wait until next year, the child is still young."

"Not young, when I was Shen Mo's age, Liu Dong was in my belly."

Lu Qingyang, who pretended to be drunk, was unhappy. He didn't expect Aunt Liu to come up with this idea.

In a hurry, he deliberately fell off the chair and interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Oh my, I'm drunk, my head is dizzy."

Shen Mo noticed the movement here and squatted in front of Lu Qingyang:

"Lu Qingyang, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Lu Qingyang stood up, but he couldn't be happy.

When he went back, it had been snowing for a while.

Since the beginning of winter, it often snows every few days in Da'anling.

And today, the snow seems to be more wanton than usual.

Lu Qingyang stretched out his hand and caught the huge snowflakes.

He suddenly turned his head, his eyes fell gently on Shen Mo beside him, and asked softly: "Little Moli, have you ever thought about getting married?"

"Get married?" Shen Mo raised her head and thought about it seriously.

"I only know that when someone gets married, the village is very lively and there are delicious food."

"Getting married means you have to marry into another family, separate from grandpa, and start a new life with strangers. Are you willing to do this?"

Shen Mo frowned: "I will not leave grandpa, no matter how much food I have, I don't want to get married! "

Hearing this answer, Lu Qingyang even felt secretly happy.

Shen Mo is not old enough, how can she marry Liu Fang!

"If you go back and grandpa asks you this question, you will answer him like this, understand?"

"Well, don't worry, I don't want to go to other people's homes, and I don't want to leave grandpa."

After getting her assurance, Lu Qingyang felt a little relieved.

At Aunt Liu's house at this moment.

Liu Fang looked unhappy: "Mom, what are you talking about? You know Shen Mo's situation better than anyone else, why do you let me marry her?"

"What's the matter, Shen Mo is pretty good, what's wrong with her? Speaking of which, you two grew up together since you were young, so you can be considered childhood sweethearts, right? "Liu Fang heard it, and his mouth could not help twitching slightly, and his childhood memories came like a tide. The children in the village were beaten by Shen Mo since he was a child. It can only be ... strong desire to survive. I think of the life after marriage, and look like it every day ... He shook his head suddenly, as if he was going to dispel this suffocating fantasy. "You" "You can't help me, just destroy the happiness of my life?
