Reborn I will never be a dog lick
Chapter 544 The Agreement Before the Grave
Meet the in-laws.
The most relaxed people are probably Xu Zhimu, who already knows everything, and Xiao Wu, who knows nothing.
Da Huang was shaking his head and circling around the crowd excitedly.
Early this morning, the family killed a chicken and a duck. The younger sister's father went to the town and bought half a sheep, half a pig, and more than ten kilograms of beef.
I had to push the cart back and forth for more than two miles on a mountain road before I bought it.
During the Chinese New Year, there are not as many things prepared as on this day.
"We're all here. We've had a hard time walking on difficult mountain roads. Come on, come and sit in the house quickly."
Grandma quickly opened her mouth to invite someone into the room.
"It's okay, it's not that far away..."
Xu's father and Xu's mother also smiled and walked over.
Entering the house, the furnishings are simple, with almost no electrical appliances visible. Tables, chairs and benches are also old items that have been used for a long time.
The primary school girl'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.
"Everyone, please sit down and have a rest. The meal will be ready in a while."
Grandma looked at Xu Zhimu’s parents.
Although Xu's father and Xu's mother were not dressed in brand-name clothes today, they were carefully prepared. Xu's father even specially combed his hair and applied hair wax, and his leather shoes were polished.
After all, he is also a member of the system, and he still has some cadre qualities.
Although Xu's mother was not as well-off as Xiaomi's mother since she was a child, she still had enough food and clothing, and the family's conditions have gotten better and better in the past two years.
Xu's mother also pays more and more attention to maintenance, and she seems to have the image of 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.
Xu's mother and Xu's father looked at the room. In their memories, this kind of living conditions had happened many years ago.
Today's society is still such a poor place, and that girl Liu Ningqing grew up in this kind of place.
Thinking about it, they couldn't help but feel sorry for Liu Ningqing.
"You guys sit down, the stools have just been wiped and are not dirty."
Grandma looked at the two people's eyes and smiled a little cautiously.
The condition of the house is thanks to Xu Zhimu's help in renovating it, otherwise it would have looked even more dilapidated. The previous floor was covered with dirt and some broken bricks were randomly paved.
If it rains, water may still leak and the house will be filled with mud stains...
They know what these two children are thinking.
But marriage and engagement are, after all, a matter between two families.
What they are most worried about is whether the boy's family will feel that the conditions at home are not good, and whether their granddaughter will be offended if she marries him...
"You are so polite. We came here today specifically to see your elder brother's health. My son usually has a carefree personality. I would also like to thank you for being tolerant of him..."
Xu's mother looked at the two elders in front of her and thought of her own father and mother.
"How about I help cook too."
"No, no, how can this be so good? You guys have come all the way and you are all guests. We can just cook."
"It's okay, here are my family members, and I'm here to help them, let them drink tea and chat..."
Xu's mother smiled and rolled up her sleeves, and then gently glanced at Xu's father.
The best way for a man to have a heart-to-heart conversation is at the wine table, and the fastest place for a woman to get acquainted with her is in the kitchen.
"Zhimu, don't just stand there, hurry up and help pour the tea."
Xu's mother also confessed to Xu Zhimu.
"Auntie, let me cook together."
Liu Ningqing also wanted to cook, but Xu's mother stopped her with a smile: "No, Qingqing, just take a good rest, and Auntie will go."
Liu Ningqing watched Xu's mother enter the kitchen. Because the kitchen at home was still burning wood, there would inevitably be dust and other things.
Every time I burn a pot, there is dust on my body.
"Just let my mother go."
Xu Zhimu came over with a smile and pinched her cheek, then took her little hand and looked at the situation in the living room.
"Would you like to know what our dads talk about when we sit together?"
Xu Zhimu smiled and said in her ear.
Liu Ningqing looked at the living room, actually curious about what her father would say to Xu Zhimu's father.
After all, when it comes to marriage, it is usually the father who makes the final decision.
"This... eavesdropping is not good..."
Liu Ningqing blushed a little, but she still couldn't bear her thoughts. Together with Xu Zhimu, she lay furtively in the direction of the window and looked over.
And in the living room.
Xu's father and Liu Ningqing's father, both of them talk very little.
At this moment, the two of them were facing each other, but they didn't know what to say.
After a while, the primary school girl's father watched the tea brewing and brought a cup to Xu's father.
"Let's drink tea first."
"Oh, good."
Xu's father also quickly took it, and then the two of them fell silent again.
Two or three seconds later, Xu's father remembered and took out a cigarette from his arms and handed it to him.
"Have a cigarette."
"Well, good."
Liu Ningqing's father also quickly took it over.
The two of them lit up their cigarettes and took a puff, but the atmosphere was still a bit awkward.
After a while, Father Xu still spoke.
"My son sometimes acts irritably, but he doesn't cause any trouble at home."
"No, no, this child is very good to Ningqing, and he helps a lot at home, but Qingqing, this child is introverted, you should worry more."
"No, no, Ningqing is a good girl, filial to her family, and motivated. We all like her very much."
The two fathers didn't say a word at all, and finally slowly started to talk together.
The two people lying by the window couldn't help but smile at this moment.
I saw two fathers bragging about each other in business, and it was just the two of them who were bragging.
This is the recognition of parents. When young lovers fall in love, being recognized by each other's family members represents another major breakthrough in the relationship between the two people.
Liu Ningqing's face was rosy, and her ears felt soft as she listened to the words inside.
Xu Zhimu gently hugged her soft waist from behind, nuzzled her ear gently.
"It seems that I will be able to call you wife soon. Let me call you husband first."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xu Zhimu whispered, feeling the temperature and heartbeat of the girl in his arms continue to rise.
Husband and wife, this title is really greasy and sticky, like sealed honey maltose. Just the sound of it is enough to make your mouth full of sweetness.
"...Bad guy..."
But here, Liu Ningqing was still a little shy. After all, she was not engaged yet, so she started calling her husband. It was okay to call her husband in private.
It's a bit too shameful to shout in front of my own grandma, grandpa, and father...
"The badass husband is not bad, that's what I'll call him from now on."
Xu Zhimu kissed Liu Ningqing on the cheek and smiled happily.
Then suddenly I felt something was wrong with the gaze behind me.
Turning around, he saw Xu's mother and grandma coming out of the kitchen carrying dishes, talking and laughing.
Just then I saw the two people hugging each other, Xu Zhimu still laughing strangely, like an old gangster, leaning over to kiss Liu Ningqing, who was blushing.
"me……"
Liu Ningqing was stunned, like a steamed crab, huddled in Xu Zhimu's arms and did not dare to show her head.
Xu's mother and grandma had a tacit understanding and looked at each other.
"Eat, eat, brat, hurry up and get the bowl."
Xu Zhimu also quickly became more honest, laughed twice awkwardly, and prepared to go to the kitchen to serve food.
Liu Ningqing blushed and hit him twice, then followed him to serve the meal.
The dining table is filled with various dishes today.
Chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, cattle and sheep, that’s the size for the Chinese New Year.
Grandma’s idea is very simple. The best way to welcome guests is to arrange the best things in the house.
"The mountains are no better than the cities, and there isn't much. Don't be dissatisfied with the lack of food."
Grandma said, looking at the room full of things done today, and then looking at her granddaughter and Xu Zhimu.
Everyone has a happy face on their face.
"It's a lot less, a lot more. We can't eat so much during the Chinese New Year."
Xu's mother said with a smile.
Xu Zhimu brought wine, moved a few boxes of Maotai, took out two bottles and put them on the table, and drank some of them.
Mainly Xu's father and the elementary school girl's father, two men who usually rarely talk, finally started to talk with the help of alcohol.
"My son has become less and less worry-free over the years. Thanks to Qingqing watching over him, otherwise I wouldn't know how many mistakes he would have made."
"Qingqing has been introverted since she was a child and has hardly spoken to her peers. It's all thanks to Zhimu, a child, who has always enlightened her and taken care of her..."
"Well, this girl Qingqing is gentle and filial. This silly son of mine is very lucky."
Xu's mother spoke, holding Liu Ningqing's hand with one hand. The more she talked, the happier she became, and the more she watched, the more she liked it.
Liu Ningqing's heart felt like it was filled with honey, and her eyes were filled with gentle and happy colors.
While eating, the topic finally came up to engagement.
Xu's mother lightly kicked Xu's father under the table.
When Xu's father received the message, this taciturn man was actually a little nervous at this moment.
It reminded him of the scene when he and his father went to Xu's mother's house to propose marriage.
In the blink of an eye, he became a father.
"I came today because the two children have such a good relationship. Our family was wondering if we could prepare for the two children as soon as possible."
Father Xu finished his words.
Grandma and Grandpa, as well as Liu Jun, were all looking in the direction of Liu Ningqing and Xu Zhimu at this moment.
At this moment, Liu Ningqing was holding the ribs for Xu Zhimu to eat. She paused slightly with her chopsticks and her whole body was rosy.
He didn't speak, but he did lower his head slightly and sat very close to Xu Zhimu.
Everything is left unsaid.
Liu Jun looked at his daughter as if he had seen the past.
After a moment of silence, Liu Jun spoke.
"As for the two children, as long as the children are willing, we have no objection."
Liu Jun looked at his only daughter, and the old father naturally had mixed feelings in his heart.
The wine was surging, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist: "My daughter has suffered too much since she was a child. It's because I, as a father, am incompetent. I'm sorry for her. I don't ask for anything. I just hope... that she can live a better life in the future."
It’s better.”
Liu Ningqing's body also trembled slightly, and when she looked at her father, her eyes became moist.
Xu Zhimu gently held one of her hands under the table.
The conditions of the family back then were similar, not to mention bare-bones.
Girls are seventeen or eighteen years old, the age when they love beauty the most, but Liu Ningqing can only seal herself off layer by layer.
Not to mention cosmetics and brand-name bags, she is reluctant to buy even a new dress. She wears a dress for a year or two and uses all the sewing and mending.
Even if he buys meat once, he will let Xiao Wu eat more, and he will dip some steamed buns into vegetable soup...
Such a gentle and beautiful girl has suffered all the bitterness of life in the first half of her life.
Xu's father and Xu's mother also experienced it personally today, and they couldn't help but feel sour in their hearts.
Xu's father patted Liu Jun's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, we all like this child Qingqing. We won't let Qingqing have it even if others have it. From now on, Qingqing will be our dear one."
Daughter."
As he spoke, Father Xu raised his wine glass, and Liu Jun also touched the corners of his eyes and smiled.
"Okay, okay... Such a happy day makes you laugh."
"From now on, we are all a family. Whether we laugh or not, it is all for the good of our children. Come, I will have a drink with you."
"Okay, have a drink!"
…
After the meal, Father Xu and Father Liu drank a lot and were still chatting about the future of their two children.
Xu's mother accompanied the two old men to wash pots and dishes, and secretly stuffed Xiao Wu a big red envelope along the way.
At home, everything is peaceful and peaceful.
Liu Ningqing and Xu Zhimu both drank a little.
There were moist tears in the corners of Liu Ningqing's eyes, and she looked at Xu Zhimu.
She knew that after today, the two of them could really get engaged.
"Zhimu, I want to go somewhere."
Liu Ningqing took out a basket covered with cloth from the room, walked over and gently held Xu Zhimu's hand.
Xu Zhimu looked at her and nodded without hesitation.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
The two held hands and slowly walked out of the small courtyard.
There is already a slight coolness in the mountains in October.
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, but it also seems more peaceful.
and……
"Zhimu, look...it's the tree we planted last time."
Liu Ningqing pointed to a few small trees in front.
That was planted with Wang Ningning and Chen Wei last time I came here.
It has been several months since I planted it.
They all survived and looked a bit stronger.
Liu Ningqing pulled him over and looked at the saplings growing vigorously, as if they were looking at the crystallization of two people.
"She looks pretty good."
Xu Zhimu also touched the trunk and looked at Liu Ningqing with a smile: "But it may take a few years for it to bear fruit. 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, how can this be the same..."
"Why is it different? Are they all the result of our love, or are you planning to give birth to a fat son for me tomorrow?"
Xu Zhimu looked at her with a smile.
Liu Ningqing snorted at his amusement, ignored him, and pulled him to continue walking up the mountain.
Soon, from a distance, I saw a grave.
Behind the grave, a tree has begun to turn slightly yellow in October, and the afternoon sun is shining through it.
Just like a beautiful girl holding a translucent oil paper umbrella in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.
And this tree is like a canopy, like an umbrella to protect it from the sun and protect it 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 so that Liu Ningqing could talk alone.
But this time, Liu Ningqing grabbed his hand.
The gentle gaze made Xu Zhimu feel as if he was drowning in her eyes.
The two of them were speechless, but their thoughts were clear.
Liu Ningqing opened the package in her arms. Inside were the prepared meals, which were placed one by one in front of the grave.
Liu Ningqing took out a soft cloth and gently wiped the dust in front of the tombstone. However, the tombstone was very clean. She thought that her father had already been here.
"Mom, I came today to tell you some good news..."
Liu Ningqing's voice seemed like the warm sunshine of April. She gently held Xu Zhimu's hand, and she slowly knelt down, and Xu Zhimu followed suit.
"Mom, you said... You must find the person you like in this life. You must not compromise your bottom line and drown your tenderness just because of life.
Today, I really did it..."
Liu Ningqing smiled, like a little girl acting coquettishly to her mother, with a little pride.
She looked sideways at Xu Zhimu, and traces of all the stunning beauty in the world could be found in her eyes.
"Mom, his name is Xu Zhimu. He is a very evil person who likes to bully others."
Liu Ningqing suddenly started to complain. Xu Zhimu was slightly stunned and looked at Liu Ningqing who was a little different at this moment.
Perhaps, no girl is born with such introversion and self-isolation, perhaps, before the primary school girl’s mother left.
Liu Ningqing is also a little girl who can be coquettish and willful.
But since her mother passed away, the burden on her family forced her to grow up overnight.
Maybe, she and An Xiaomi are actually the same kind of people.
However, Liu Ningqing suffered a lot in the first half of his life.
And An Xiaomi may have eaten the sweetness of the first half of her life.
Xu Zhimu looked at her little appearance of complaining constantly, and then looked at the tombstone in front of him, feeling a little distressed in his heart.
"Mom, I have really found it now. I have found the one. I can tell 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 like to see him gorge on the food I cooked, I like his smooth tongue every day, and I also like his unreserved love for me..."
Liu Ningqing has always been a girl who is shy about talking about love, but today, she said a lot in one breath...
Her ears were softening slightly, but at this moment, her whole body was full of courage, and she took the two people's hands together.
Looking into each other's eyes, she looked at the tombstone again, her pink lips slightly parted.
"Mom...we are getting engaged!"
Liu Ningqing's gentle but firm voice made Xu Zhimu's heart tremble slightly.
got engaged……
This girl whom I have been obsessed with for two lives is what I want most in my heart when I am reborn.
Now, it is really coming true.
There seemed to be a tsunami-like voice constantly echoing in Xu Zhimu's heart.
The breeze in the mountains in the afternoon also carries the last trace of warmth, and the wind gently rolls the leaves on the treetops.
Under the afternoon sunshine in this hazy mountain stream, the warm sunlight shines through the constantly fluttering leaves, and the shadows of the trees flicker on the faces of the two people.
A leaf fell gently, and slowly landed on the palms of two people with their fingers intertwined.
It was as if that gentle and gentle woman was sending her blessings gently...
