Love belongs to the mountains and seas, I don't belong to you

When Lin Cong and Xiang Shao returned, they met Aunt Wang at the door of their house.

"Oh, I was just about to look for you guys, but I didn't expect to run into you." Aunt Wang said.

"What's wrong, Aunt Wang? Is there something wrong?" Lin Cong asked.

"Your uncle Wang asked you to bring your uncle to our house for dinner. Just think of it as treating your uncle on behalf of your grandmother."

There is a custom in Tong Village that when a girl meets her boyfriend for the first time, a table of delicious food will be prepared, commonly known as the "son-in-law banquet."

Xiang Shao didn't know what was going on. He looked at Lin Cong, wanting to hear what Lin Cong had to say.

"Okay, thank you Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang." Lin Cong agreed readily.

Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang watched Lin Cong grow up, and it was difficult for Lin Cong to refuse this kindness.

"Why are you being so polite to us? I'll go prepare the food first, and you guys can come over soon!"

"Okay, we'll be there soon."

After Aunt Wang left, Xiang Shao asked Lin Cong, "What does this mean?"

"It's a kind of etiquette. When meeting the girl's boyfriend for the first time, the elders will treat him well." Lin Cong explained.

"So that's how it is." Xiang Shao nodded, "You go in first, I'll get some things from the car."

"it is good."

Lin Cong rested in the house for a while. After waiting for a while, Xiang Shao still didn't come back, so she wanted to go out and look for him.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw Xiang Shao coming over with a bunch of things.

"What is this?" Lin Cong asked in confusion.

"Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang are treating me, so I can't go empty-handed. Fortunately, there are some things in the car that can be considered gifts."

"Thank you. I was planning to buy them gifts tomorrow."

Lin Cong's eyes were filled with emotion. She understood that everything Xiang Shao did was ultimately because he cared about her.

Seeing the tears in Lin Cong's eyes, Xiang Shao smiled helplessly, "Why are you crying again?"

Lin Cong shook his head.

Xiang Shao gently kissed Lin Cong on the face and said, "Let's go, silly boy. Don't make them wait anxiously."

Lin Cong said "hmm" and followed Xiang Shao like a kitten.

When we arrived at Aunt Wang's house, the food was already on the table.

"Hey, Xiao Cong, come here quickly, come here quickly!" Uncle Wang came forward.

"Hello, Uncle Wang."

"This must be my boyfriend, he's so handsome!" Uncle Wang praised.

"Hello, Uncle Wang. You can just call me Xiang Chen." Young Master Xiang said politely, "I've prepared some gifts. Thank you and Aunt Wang for your hospitality."

"Good, good, good!" Uncle Wang said several good words. He felt that Lin Cong had good vision.

Several people sat around the dinner table, looking very happy.

Young Master Xiang specially accompanied Uncle Wang for a drink.

"Uncle Wang, he can't drink much, so you have to be more tolerant of him." Lin Cong said.

"Look at this, Xiao Cong is so crooked!"

Aunt Wang followed Uncle Wang in laughing.

"It's okay, Uncle Wang, let me toast you first!" After saying that, he drank the wine in one gulp.

Uncle Wang was very happy, "Okay, okay!"

Seeing this, Lin Cong stopped trying to dissuade him.

After three cups of wine, both Xiang Shao and Uncle Wang felt a little tipsy.

Uncle Wang started talking about the past, and Lin Cong joined in the reminiscing.

Aunt Wang was busy in the kitchen. Seeing Lin Cong and Uncle Wang chatting animatedly, Xiang Shao went to the kitchen.

"Aunt Wang." Xiang Shao called out.

"Why are you here? Go eat and eat more!"

"Aunt Wang, I have something to ask of you." Xiang Shao's expression was very respectful.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Aunt Wang picked up the towel and wiped her hands.

Xiang Shao took out a key and handed it to Aunt Wang, "Aunt Wang, this is the key to grandma's house, take it."

The door lock of grandma's house was replaced by Xiang Shaoxin. Because Lin Cong couldn't find the key, he could only break the old door lock open when he came.

"What does this mean?" Aunt Wang was a little confused.

"Lin Cong and I may not be able to come back often, so please take some time to help clean grandma's house when you have time. And also help water and prune the flowers and plants."

"So this is it. Don't worry, it's no problem." Aunt Wang took the key happily.

Xiang Shao took out another envelope, which looked quite thick.

"And this, Aunt Wang, take it."

Aunt Wang took the envelope, opened it and saw that there was a stack of money inside.

"I can't accept this. Take it back." Aunt Wang declined.

"Aunt Wang, take this. This isn't a salary or anything else. It's a token of my appreciation. You know, after grandma passed away, Lin Cong has no relatives. You and Uncle Wang treated me so warmly today. In my eyes, you are my elders."

Aunt Wang thought: Xiao Cong has really good taste, this boyfriend is impeccable in every aspect.

"Aunt Wang, please accept it."

"Okay, I'll take it. But what made you want to clean Grandma's house?"

"I'm afraid that when Lin Cong comes back, he will be sad to see the messy house." Xiang Shao said truthfully.

"Oh, it's hard for you to be so thoughtful."

"So, thank you, Aunt Wang."

"Do not worry."

Young Master Xiang bowed slightly to Aunt Wang and then left.

Lin Cong was still chatting with Uncle Wang.

"You! You were a naughty kid when you were little. There was nothing you wouldn't do, even climbing up the roof and tearing off the tiles!" said Uncle Wang.

Xiang Shao sat down, looking curious, "Uncle Wang, what did Lin Cong do?"

"That's a lot. I remember one time she put eggs in her bed to hatch chicks and they shattered all over the bed. Her grandmother chased her all over the alley."

After saying that, Uncle Wang laughed out loud.

Xiang Shao also laughed and asked, "Were you so naughty when you were a child?"

At this time, Aunt Wang came over and said, "Xiao Cong was really naughty when she was little. Everyone in the neighboring village knew this crazy girl."

Lin Cong was a little embarrassed, "It's okay."

Uncle Wang waved his hand. "Come on, you've got so many 'glorious deeds' that I can't even count them on two hands."

Xiang Shao looked at Lin Cong and laughed.

Lin Cong stepped on Xiang Shao's foot under the table and said, "Don't laugh."

"Uncle Wang, is there anything else?" Xiang Shao glanced at Lin Cong with a wicked smile and continued to ask.

Now, Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang couldn't stop talking anymore and started to talk non-stop.

There were bursts of laughter at the dinner table.

When we got back, it was already very late.

Today, Young Master Xiang did drink a little too much, and Uncle Wang's wine was also quite strong, so he felt dizzy.

He lay on the bed, fiddling with Lin Cong's fingers.

Lin Cong turned his head and saw Xiang Shao smiling with a flushed face.

"If you can't drink, don't drink so much. Don't try to show off." Although Lin Cong's words were a bit blaming, his tone was happy.

Major General Xiang placed Lin Cong's hand on his face and said, "Feel it, you feel like you're getting a fever."

Lin Cong propped himself up and looked at Xiang Shao, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Xiang Shao pulled Lin Cong into his arms and said, "No. I'm just a little sleepy."

"Go to sleep." Lin Cong said gently.

Xiang Shao rubbed Lin Cong's hair with his chin and murmured, "Lin Cong, I love you."

Lin Cong smiled and leaned into Xiang Shao's arms, "Xiang Chen, I love you too."
