Reborn, I will never be a licking dog

Meet family.

The most relaxed people should be Xu Zhimu, who already knew everything, and Xiao Wu, who knew nothing.

Da Huang shook his head and circled around the crowd excitedly.

Early this morning, the family killed a chicken and a duck, and the primary school sister's father went to the town to buy half a sheep, half a pig, and more than ten catties of beef.

I bought it after pushing the cart back and forth on the mountain road for more than two miles.

During the Chinese New Year, there are not as many things to prepare for this day.

"It's all here, the mountain road is not easy to walk, it's hard work, come on, come and sit in the house quickly."

Grandma hurriedly opened her mouth to invite people into the room.

"It's okay, it's not too far away..."

Xu's father and Xu's mother also smiled and walked over.

Entering the house, the furnishings are simple, and there are almost no electrical appliances. The tables, chairs and benches are also old objects that have been used for a long time.

The elementary school sister'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.

"Sit down and rest your feet, 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 wearing famous brands today, they were carefully prepared. Xu's father even combed his hair and touched his pomade, and his leather shoes were also polished.

After all, he is also a member of the system, and he still has some cadre temperament.

Although Xu's mother's conditions were not as good as Xiaomi's mother since she was a child, she still had no worries about food and clothing. In addition, the family's conditions have become better and better in the past two years.

Xu's mother is also paying more and more attention to maintenance, and she seems to have an 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 them.

Xu's mother and Xu's father looked at the room. In their memory, this kind of living conditions had already happened many years ago.

The current society is still in such a poor place, and that girl Liu Ningqing grew up in this kind of place since she was a child.

Thinking about it, they couldn't help feeling sorry for Liu Ningqing.

"Sit down, the stool has just been wiped, it's not dirty."

Grandma looked at the eyes of the two, and smiled a little cautiously.

Thanks to Xu Zhimu's help to renovate the condition of the house, otherwise it would look even more dilapidated. The previous floor was covered with mud and broken bricks.

It might still leak when it rains, and the house will be full of mud...

They knew what the two children were thinking.

But marriage and engagement are, after all, a matter for two families.

What they are most worried about is whether the boy's family will feel that the conditions in the family are not good, and whether his granddaughter will be angry after marrying...

"You are too polite. We came here today to see your elder brother's body. My son is usually careless. Thank you for being tolerant of him..."

Xu's mother looked at the second elder in front of her, and also thought of her own parents.

"Or I'll help with the cooking."

"No, no, how good is this? All of you who come from afar are customers, so let's just cook."

"It's okay, it's my family who are here, and I'll help out, let them drink tea and chat..."

Mother Xu rolled up her sleeves with a smile, and gave Father Xu a wink.

The best way for men to talk is at the wine table, and the fastest place for women to get acquainted is the kitchen.

"Zhimu, don't stand here in a daze, hurry up and help pour tea."

Xu's mother also explained to Xu Zhimu.

"Auntie, let me cook together."

Liu Ningqing also wanted to cook, but was stopped by Xu's mother with a smile: "No need, Qingqing, you can take a good rest, and auntie can go."

Liu Ningqing watched Mother Xu enter the kitchen, because the kitchen at home still burns firewood, so there will inevitably be dust or something.

There is dust on my body every time I burn the pot.

"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.

"Do you want to know what our dad talks about when we sit together?"

Xu Zhimu smiled and whispered in her ear.

Looking at the living room, Liu Ningqing was actually curious about what her father would say to Xu Zhimu's father.

After all, when it comes to marriage, the father of the family usually makes the last decision.

"This... eavesdropping is not good..."

Liu Ningqing blushed a little, but still couldn't bear her little thoughts, she and Xu Zhimu sneaked 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 usually talk very little.

At this moment, the two of them are facing each other, but they don't know how to say a word.

After a while, the primary school sister's father saw that the tea was ready, and brought a cup to Xu's father.

"Let's have some tea first."

"Oh, good."

Father Xu also took it quickly, and then the two of them fell silent again.

Two or three seconds later, Father Xu remembered, 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.

The two lit their cigarettes and took a sip, but the atmosphere was still a bit awkward.

After the meeting, Father Xu still spoke.

"My son sometimes acts frizzy, so he didn't cause any trouble for the family."

"No, no, this child treats Ning Qing very well, and the family also helps a lot, but Qing Qing, this child is introverted, you bother me a lot."

"No, no, Ningqing is a good girl. She is filial to her family and motivated. We all like it."

The two fathers didn't say a word, and finally slowly started talking together.

The two people lying on the window couldn't help but smile at this moment.

Watching two fathers brag about each other's business here, and it's the two of them who are bragging.

This is the approval of the parents. When young couples fall in love, being recognized by each other's family members represents another major breakthrough in the relationship between the two.

Liu Ningqing's face was ruddy, listening to the words inside, her ears were limp.

Xu Zhimu gently hugged her soft waist from behind her, and gently rubbed against her ear.

"It looks like I'll be able to call you wife soon, come and call me husband first."

Xu Zhimu said in a low voice, feeling the temperature and heartbeat of the girl in his arms rising continuously.

Husband and wife, this title is really greasy and sticky to the teeth, like sealed honey maltose, but it sounds enough to make people 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, and it was okay to call privately.

Shouting in front of my grandma, grandpa, and father...it's a bit too shameful.

"The villain's husband is also good, so I'll call him this from now on."

Xu Zhimu kissed Liu Ningqing on the cheek, smiling cheerfully.

Then suddenly I felt something wrong with the eyes behind me.

Turning his head, he saw Mother Xu and Grandma coming out of the kitchen carrying dishes, talking and laughing.

Just happened to see two people hugging each other, Xu Zhimu was still giggling, like an old hooligan, leaning over to kiss the flushed Liu Ningqing.

"me……"

Liu Ningqing was stunned, like a steamed crab, huddled in Xu Zhimu's arms, not daring to show her head.

Mother Xu and Grandma had a tacit understanding and looked at each other.

"Eat, eat, brat, hurry up and serve the bowl."

Xu Zhimu also quickly became more honest, smiled awkwardly, and was about to go to the kitchen to serve dinner.

Liu Ningqing slapped him twice with a blushing face, and went to serve dinner with him.

The dining table is filled with various dishes today.

Chicken, duck, fish, pigs, cattle and sheep, that's all the specifications for Chinese New Year.

Grandma and Grandpa'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 is nothing to eat. Don't dislike the lack of food."

Grandma said something, looking at the room full of work today, and looking at her granddaughter and Xu Zhimu.

Everyone has a happy face on their faces.

"It's a lot, a lot, and we can't eat so much during the Chinese New Year."

Mother Xu said with a smile.

Xu Zhimu brought wine, directly brought over a few boxes of Moutai, took out two bottles and put them on the table, and drank more or less of them.

It was mainly Xu's father and the primary school sister's father, two men who usually seldom talk, but with the help of alcohol, they finally opened up the chatterbox slowly.

"My son has become more and more worry-free these years. Thanks to Qingqing who is watching by his side, otherwise I don't know how many mistakes I will make."

"Qingqing has been introverted since she was a child, and she hardly talked to her peers. It is also thanks to Zhimu who has been enlightening her and taking care of her..."

"Hey, Qingqing is gentle and filial, this silly son of my family is lucky."

Xu's mother spoke, holding Liu Ningqing's hand with one hand, the more she talked, the happier she was, and the more she watched, the more she liked it.

Liu Ning's pure heart seemed to be filled with honey, her eyes were filled with tenderness and happiness.

While eating, the topic of engagement was finally brought up.

Xu's mother kicked Xu's father lightly under the table.

Father Xu received the message that this taciturn man was actually a little nervous at the moment.

It reminded him of the scene when he and his father went to ask Mother Xu's family to ask for marriage.

In the blink of an eye, he became a father.

"I came here today because I thought the two children had such a good relationship. Our family was wondering if we could prepare for the two children earlier."

Father Xu's words fell.

Grandma and Grandpa, as well as Liu Jun, are also looking in the direction of Liu Ningqing and Xu Zhimu at this moment.

At this moment, Liu Ningqing was still eating ribs for Xu Zhimu, the chopsticks paused slightly, and her whole body was ruddy.

He didn't speak, but he did lower his head slightly and sat very close to Xu Zhimu.

Everything is silent.

Liu Jun looked at his daughter, as if he saw the past.

After a moment of silence, Liu Jun spoke.

"As for the matter of 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.

Alcohol surged, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist: "My daughter, she has suffered too much since she was a child. I am a father who is not capable. I'm sorry for her. I don't ask for anything, I just hope...she can live in the future. better."

Liu Ningqing's body also trembled slightly, and when she looked at her father, her eyes also became moist.

Xu Zhimu gently held her hand under the table.

The conditions of the family back then, not to mention the bare walls, were about the same.

Girls are seventeen or eighteen years old, the most beautiful age, but Liu Ningqing can only seal herself layer by layer.

Not to mention cosmetics and brand-name bags, she is reluctant to buy even a new dress. A piece of clothing has been worn for a year or two, and the things used are all sewing and mending.

Even if I buy meat once, it will make Xiao Wu eat more, and I will use steamed buns to dip some vegetable soup...

Such a gentle and beautiful girl suffered all the bitterness in the first half of her life.

Xu's father and Xu's mother also experienced it personally today, and their hearts couldn't help but feel sour.

Xu's father patted Liu Jun's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, we all like Qingqing very much. If others have it, we will not let Qingqing be less. From now on, Qingqing will be our relative." girl."

Saying that, Father Xu raised his wine glass, and Liu Jun touched the corners of his eyes, showing a smile.

"Okay, okay... You are laughing at such a happy day."

"From now on, we'll be a family. Whether you laugh or not, it's all for the good of our children. Come, I'll have a drink with you."

"Okay, drink one!"

……

After the meal, Father Xu and Father Liu both drank a lot, and they are still chatting about the future of the two children.

Xu's mother accompanied the two old people to wash the pots and dishes, and secretly stuffed a big red envelope for Xiao Wu along the way.

At home, there is harmony and auspiciousness.

Both Liu Ningqing and Xu Zhimu drank some wine.

The corners of Liu Ningqing's eyes were moist with tears, 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 a 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."

Holding hands, the two slowly walked out of the courtyard.

In the mountains in October, there is already some slight coolness.

Walking on the path in the forest, Xu Zhimu saw the small stream that came together last time.

It's just that the amount of water in the stream at this moment is not as much as in summer, but it also looks more secluded.

and……

"Zhimu, look...it's the tree we planted last time."

Liu Ningqing pointed to a few small trees in front of her.

That was the last time I came here, planting with Wang Ningning and Chen Wei.

It has been planted for several months.

They all survived and looked a little thicker.

Liu Ningqing pulled him over and looked at the thriving saplings, as if looking at the crystallization of two people.

"It's pretty long."

Xu Zhimu also touched the trunk, and looked at Liu Ningqing with a smile: "But it may take a few years before it bears fruit. Maybe your stomach will be big by then, and the fruit of this tree hasn't grown yet."

"I…"

Liu Ningqing's face turned red again, and she raised her hand to hit him lightly.

"I hate you, can this be the same..."

"Why is it different? Is it the crystallization of our love, or are you planning to give me a big fat son tomorrow?"

Xu Zhimu looked at her with a smile.

Liu Ningqing snorted amused by him, ignored him, and dragged him to continue walking up the mountain.

Soon, far away, I saw a grave.

Behind the grave, a tree has begun to turn slightly yellow in October, and the afternoon sun shines through it at this moment.

It's like, in the misty and rainy colors of the south of the Yangtze River, there is a beautiful girl holding a translucent oil-paper umbrella.

And this tree is like a cover, like an umbrella to shade the sun, and it is not protected from wind and rain.

Xu Zhimu looked at the tombstone. This was the third time he accompanied the primary school sister to the grave.

He originally wanted to leave some distance for Liu Ningqing to confide alone.

But this time, Liu Ningqing grabbed his hand.

The gentle gaze made Xu Zhimu seem to be drowning in her eyes.

The two were speechless, but they understood their intentions.

Liu Ningqing opened the package in her arms, which contained the prepared meals, which were placed in front of the grave one by one.

Liu Ningqing took out a soft cloth and gently wiped the dust in front of the tombstone, but the tombstone was very clean, presumably her father had already been there.

"Mom, I'm here today to tell you some good news..."

Liu Ningqing's voice seemed to be the warm sun in April, she gently grasped Xu Zhimu's hand, she knelt down slowly, Xu Zhimu also followed.

"Mom, you said... You must find the person you like in this life, and you must not compromise your bottom line and drown your tenderness just because of life.

Today, I really did..."

Liu Ningqing was smiling, like a little girl acting like a baby to her mother, but with a little pride.

She looked sideways at Xu Zhimu, all the stunning beauty in the world could be found in her eyes.

"Mom, his name is Xu Zhimu, he is a very mean-spirited person who likes to bully people."

Liu Ningqing suddenly started to complain, Xu Zhimu was slightly taken aback, looking at the somewhat different Liu Ningqing at this moment.

Perhaps, there is no girl who is born so introverted and self-enclosed. Perhaps, the mother of the primary school sister did not leave before.

Liu Ningqing is also a little girl who can be coquettish and willful.

But since her mother left, the burden of the family forced her to grow up overnight.

Maybe, she and An Xiaomi were actually the same kind of person.

However, Liu Ningqing suffered a lot in the first half of her life.

As for An Xiaomi, perhaps she ate the sweetness of the first half of her life.

Xu Zhimu looked at her small appearance who kept complaining, 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 that one, and I can name 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 watch him eat my food, I like his glib tongue every day, and I like his unreserved liking 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...

The roots of her ears were slightly weak, but at this moment she was full of courage, and she held the hands of the two together.

Looking into each other's eyes, she looked at the tombstone again, her pink lips parted slightly.

"Mom... we are getting engaged!"

Liu Ningqing's gentle and firm voice made Xu Zhimu's heart tremble uncontrollably.

got engaged……

This girl who has been obsessed with her for two lifetimes is what she wants most in her heart after being reborn for the first time.

Now, it's really going to happen.

There seemed to be a tsunami-like sound echoing in Xu Zhimu's heart.

The breeze in the mountains in the afternoon also carried the last trace of warmth, and the wind gently rolled the leaves of the treetops.

In the afternoon sun of this misty mountain stream, the warm sunlight penetrates the constantly fluttering leaves, and the shadows of the trees flicker on and off the faces of the two people.

A leaf fluttered down gently, and slowly, it landed on the palms of the two people's interlocking fingers.

It was as if that gentle and gentle woman was gently sending her blessings...

Here we come, this chapter, the primary school sister's route is considered a bit more complete.

The next chapter is Xiaomi.

Thank you for your support, there will be more tonight.

In addition, the monthly pass is the last day tomorrow, and everyone has some votes to see if they can get up to [-]
