At ten o'clock, bid farewell to Wanqing.

Chu Tianshu sent her out of the door.

Along the way, the two of them were deeply preoccupied and neither spoke.

When he arrived at the gate of the community, Xiang Wanqing stopped and said, "Tianshu, when my parents return, I will go home with you."

Chu Tianshu looked at her silently, with ups and downs in his heart. He understood that Xiang Wanqing needed to take practical actions to reassure his parents that she was the daughter-in-law of the Chu family.

Father Chu and Mother Chu lived in the master bedroom, and Chu Tianshu lived in the guest room.

At night, Chu Tianshu couldn't fall asleep for a long time. When he finally fell asleep, he had a strange dream.

He dreamed that he and Xiang Wanqing were getting married. They entered the bridal chamber hand in hand and lifted the hijab on the bride's head. Suddenly it started raining heavily. After a flash of lightning, Chu Tianshu discovered that the bride was not Xiang Wanqing but Hao Chang.

Leng Xue, whom we haven't met in time.

Leng Xue looked at him with a smile and said, "Old Chu, I want to give you a son."

Chu Tianshu broke into a cold sweat and woke up with a start. When he opened his eyes, he saw that he was lying on the bed in the guest room. He shook his head vigorously and listened to the faint sound of deep sleep coming from the master bedroom. He felt strangely

Thinking: How could I have such a dream?

Let's calm down and think about it. On November last year, in order to help Wu Mengdie recover her missing laptop, Leng Xue came from Linjiang in the heavy rain and lived in this room and slept on this bed.

In the same situation, some fragments of memory suddenly appeared in my mind.

When he got up in the morning, Chu Tianshu said he would take time off to accompany his parents around.

The old couple seemed to have agreed upon it, but they refused.

Chu's father said, "We are here, but you take leave and don't go to work. This will have a bad impact. The two of us are just strolling around, but you insist on accompanying us, which makes us uncomfortable."

Chu Tianshu knew his parents' temper, so he had no choice but to go to work.

At noon, Chu Tianshu called his parents and asked them if they had eaten.

Chu's mother said, we are just wandering around outside, you don't have to worry about it.

When he got home from get off work, Chu Tianshu went in and changed his shoes. He found that the windows in the room were clear and bright, and it was brighter than before. He knew that his parents couldn't stay idle, so they came back from the street and helped tidy up the room.

Xiang Wanqing arrived early and was helping Chu's mother cook in the kitchen, chatting while busy, as affectionate as mother and daughter.

While eating, Chu's father said, Tianshu, Wanqing, I have discussed it with your mother and will go back tomorrow.

Chu Tianshu said, "No, we will have a rest tomorrow. Wan Qing and I have agreed to go out with you tomorrow."

Mother Chu said: Nothing is getting better. We spent the whole day walking around, and it was almost the same as Linjiang.

Chu’s father said, yes, it’s just such a day and it’s made the two of us extremely uncomfortable, so we should go back.

Xiang Wanqing said, "That's okay. I don't have to go to work. Tianshu and I will take you back so that I can recognize my family."

This sentence made Chu's mother smile. She served Xiang Wanqing some food and said: Wanqing, the house is a mess, don't dislike it.

Xiang Wanqing held the bowl, took the food, and said: Dad, Mom, don't worry, I won't do it. There is a saying that a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as a doghouse at home.

When Xiang Wanqing called her "Mom and Dad", the two old men were filled with joy.

After finishing the meal and clearing away the dishes, the family sat in the living room and chatted.

Father Chu said, Wan Qing, when will we go meet your parents? I will propose marriage to Tianshu. Although we can't come up with any betrothal gifts, we still have to pay attention to the etiquette.

Xiang Wanqing was peeling an apple. When she heard these words, her hand shook and the knife touched her thumb.

Chu's mother was sitting next to her. She moved faster than Chu Tianshu. She grabbed Xiang Wanqing's hand, touched it, and blew on it. It really hurt her from the bottom of her heart.

Xiang Wanqing's eyes were red.

"My child, does it hurt? It's okay. It's just a little skin break and there won't be any scars." Chu's mother comforted Xiang Wanqing softly, but said loudly to Chu Tianshu: "Tianshu, why are you still standing there?

, hurry up and get a band-aid."

Chu Tianshu hurriedly found a band-aid.

Mother Chu held Xiang Wanqing's fingers like a young baby. She carefully helped Xiang Wanqing patch the wound, then handed the knife and apple to Chu Tianshu and said, "Tianshu, remember

Stay here, don’t let Wan Qing peel apples from now on."

Chu Tianshu took it and agreed, but he was wondering in his heart: Wan Qing is not that kind of delicate girl, how could she be so sad after just a little bit of skin?

Chu's father noticed something and said, "Wan Qing, do your parents disapprove of your friendship with Tian Shu?"

Tears welled up in Xiang Wanqing's eyes. She bit her lip and said nothing, only shook her head.

"Child, what's wrong with you?" Chu's mother was a little at a loss. She grabbed Xiang Wanqing's hand and said anxiously: "Did Tianshu bully you? Come, tell Mom, Mom will make the decision for you."

"Mom..." Xiang Wanqing called out, threw herself into Chu's mother's arms and burst into tears.

Mother Chu stroked Xiang Wanqing's hair and cried with her.

Chu's father didn't know what he said wrong, so he just looked at Chu Tianshu.

Chu Tianshu didn't know what was going on, so he stood aside and kept passing tissues to the mother and daughter.

After crying enough, Xiang Wanqing wiped away her tears and told her intermittently the reason for her sadness.

It turned out that Xiang Wanqing's parents were members of the embassy in Iraq. When she was six years old, in order to rescue the Chinese hostages kidnapped by the Japanese, they bravely entered the Japanese camp and replaced the kidnapped hostages.

They came out, but Xiang Wanqing's parents were brutally killed by gunmen in the ensuing firefight.

Later, Xiang Wanqing grew up with her uncle. In order to take good care of Xiao Wanqing and prevent her from being wronged, her uncle missed the best period of marriage. Later, due to work and other reasons, she is still single.

After Xiang Wanqing graduated from the journalism department of the university, she took the initiative to apply to work as a war reporter in Iraq. The area where she worked under heavy gunfire and bullets was the place where her parents died in their early years. She had another important mission here, which was to find her parents.

In the cemetery, you can pay homage to your parents who died young and realize the long-cherished wish in your heart.

The uncle was very worried about Xiang Wanqing's safety. After she completed the set task, he used his various connections in the country to force Xiang Wanqing back to the country.

When Chu's father mentioned that he was going to meet Xiang Wanqing's parents to propose marriage, it touched the pain buried in her heart. And when Chu's mother bandaged her wound, it made her feel like she had returned to her childhood, remembering that she had broken it when she was a child.

Hands, the scene where her mother comforts her.

Xiang Wanqing's story made the Chu family sigh.

Chu's mother stopped crying, took Xiang Wanqing's hand, and said solemnly: "Wan Qing is a good boy who has endured a lot of hardships. He must know how to care and be considerate. Tianshu, you must treat her well in the future.

She, if you treat her a little bit badly, mom won’t allow it.”

Xiang Wanqing was so moved that she hugged Chu's mother with tears and shouted affectionately: "Mom..."

Chu Tianshu's heart trembled and his eyes became hazy.

Early the next morning, Xiang Wanqing rushed to Dangui Piaoxiang. She brought Qingyuan-style breakfast to Chu’s father and Chu’s mother. She also bought a pair of leather shoes for Chu’s father and a scarf for Chu’s mother.

.

Chu Tianshu drove and the family returned to Wangcheng County happily.

More than two hours later, the car arrived at Wangcheng County.

Chu Tianshu's home is in the northwest corner of Wangcheng County, relatively far from the center of the county. It is a welfare house built by the county middle school in the early years. Therefore, in such an old-fashioned community, most of the residents are teachers and family members of the county middle school.

, we have lived together for more than ten years, and the relationship between neighbors is very close. Everyone will take care of each other if they have big or small matters.

Chu Tianshu's house is on the first floor.

When the family came in, everyone gathered around to see the handsome daughter-in-law Chu Tianshu brought back from the city.

The people in the county are very simple. In their view, the county is still a county, and Linjiang City and Qingyuan City are the big cities.

Father Chu held the soft-packaged Yellow Crane Tower cigarettes and spread them to the passing men with a smile.

Mother Chu took out the candies and snacks she brought back from Qingyuan and stuffed them into the hands of the elderly and children.

The aunts and sisters-in-law mainly came to see Xiang Wanqing, and they kept praising:

"Aunt Chu, you are so lucky."

"Sister-in-law Chu, the girls in the city are so charming, tsk tsk, they look like they came off TV."

"Hey, don't tell me, why does it look familiar to me? I seem to have seen it on TV."

"Teacher Chu, Head Nurse Liu, just wait to hold your grandson."

…

Every word you said to me made Chu's mother so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear, and her heart felt as sweet as honey.

Xiang Wanqing took Chu Tianshu's hand, smiled, and greeted the aunts and sisters generously according to Chu Tianshu's introduction. The children took the candies and refused to leave. The friends met Xiang Wanqing.

, everyone was shocked, and the two little guys even made a bet with the candies in their hands. The cause of the dispute was whether this beautiful sister was the host of a TV show.

The bold one came over and took Xiang Wanqing's hand, and asked with wide eyes, sister, are you the host of a TV show?

Before Xiang Wanqing could answer, the adults pretended to scold her, and the children ran out laughing, eating candies, standing not far away and looking around, continuing to point and argue endlessly.

The courtyard was full of joy and bustle.

Chu's mother was busy cooking, and Xiang Wanqing went to help. Chu's father stood in the yard chatting with the teachers.

When packing his things, Chu Tianshu dug out more than a dozen pieces of colorful paper from his father's handbag. Upon closer inspection, they were all advertisements for selling houses. Only then did he realize that his parents had been running outside all day yesterday, and they

Instead of going shopping, I went to various housing sales outlets and collected a lot of advertisements.

Poor parents in the world!

Chu Tianshu's nose felt a little sore, and he calmly put the pieces of paper back into his handbag.

After lunch, Chu’s mother and the mothers-in-law in the yard sat under the big tree at the door and chatted. This was probably a habit she developed after her retirement. It was both chatting and resting. Of course, Chu Tianshu brought a beautiful girl with her today.

When the girl comes back, there will naturally be more topics to talk about.

Xiang Wanqing sat for a while and ate a few melon seeds. She felt that staying there was boring, so she begged Chu Tianshu to take her out for a walk.
Chapter completed!
