Come on, butcher

The dinner was prepared by Zheng Haifei and Aunt Liu, and of course Xiao Xi helped.Da Liu gave Zhuzi a holiday because it was a family gathering.When cooking, both Mama Xiao and Aunt Li wanted to help. Aunt Liu waved her hands and said, "Go and rest, how can I let you cook after coming to my place? Xiao Zheng and I are enough."

Zheng Haifei embarrassedly said to Aunt Liu: "I'm sorry, Auntie, I'm not good at crafting, otherwise you can go to rest."

Aunt Liu smiled and waved her hands: "It's okay, you've done a good job, there are a lot of dishes, you can't do it alone, we can go faster together."

Xiao Xi had seen Zheng Haifei cook in person, and was a little worried about his craftsmanship, but he didn't expect that the cooking was quite decent, especially the stewed soup was so clear in color and rich in flavor, that even Aunt Liu praised it .Xiao Xi whispered to Zheng Haifei: "When did you secretly practice?"

Zheng Haifei smiled and said, "No, if you cook a lot, it will be fine." During that time, cooking for Xiao's father and Xiao's mother was not for nothing. In order to make good soup, he even went to ask the Cantonese chef he met on the boat for advice. How can you not bother to please your father-in-law and mother-in-law.

After working for two hours, a large table of dishes was finally finished, and Da Liu greeted everyone to come to the table for dinner.Xiao Yuhuan saw a large table of people and couldn't tell who was who, but felt that there were too many people, so he asked Liu: "Do you have friends here today?"

Xiao's mother hurriedly said from the side: "There is no one else, but Xiao Zheng and his mother. They helped a lot when you were hospitalized. I invite them to have a meal together."

Xiao Yuhuan heard the words: "Oh, why are you treating guests here at Da Liu's place? You should eat in a hotel outside."

Da Liu smiled and said, "What's wrong with my place? With my place, it's not as good as a big hotel?"

Xiao Yuhuan didn't give Da Liu any face at all, and said directly: "That's natural."

Da Liu didn't feel embarrassed or annoyed, and said with a smile: "A big hotel just has an environment. The taste of my food here is not inferior to any hotel. The proprietress cooks it herself. The quantity is sufficient and the taste is good. You are lucky. You are welcome. , Move your chopsticks."

Mama Xiao said kindly to Aunt Li: "Sister, don't be restrained, be more casual."

Aunt Li was instructed by Zheng Haifei to pretend that Xiao Xi was not there, otherwise Dad Xiao would get angry and spoil the atmosphere of the meal.Aunt Li already knew that Xiao Xi went to become a seaman because she was angry with his father, and now that he wants to come back, his father disagrees, so she is happy to cover up for him, pretending that Xiao Xi does not exist.Seeing that Xiao's mother was so polite to her, she quickly thanked her.

Seeing the actions of the two mothers, Xiao Xi was very moved, for her mother's tolerance and generosity.

Zheng Haifei poured wine and drinks for everyone, raised his glass, and said, "Thank you Uncle Xiao and Auntie, and Uncle Liu and Auntie for their hospitality. I would like to toast everyone."

Xiao Xi heard what he said in a decent way, and winked at him, obviously he did it by himself, but now his parents are the master, he has become a guest, he behaves well, and knows how to please his elders.

Xiao Yuhuan picked up the glass and sniffed it, and said dissatisfied: "Why is mine coconut milk? Pour me the wine."

Xiao's mother hurriedly said, "You can't drink yet!"

Zheng Haifei smiled and said, "Uncle Xiao, get well soon, and I will drink with you next time."

Xiao Yuhuan didn't make a sound when he heard the words, but took a sip of milk from the cup, as if to vent.Seeing that his father was sick, Xiao Xi was no longer as shrewd and capable as before, but he was a bit like a petulant child. This feeling was very novel and cute.

Xiao's mother took food for her husband, and introduced what it was, taking care of it meticulously.Seeing this, Xiao Xi couldn't help feeling sorry for her mother, but she was also very touched. Young couples come to accompany each other. This should be like this between husband and wife. Regardless of poverty or illness, they should support each other and never leave.Thinking of this, I couldn't help turning my head to look at Zheng Haifei. They don't have a marriage contract, so can they stick together like their parents and stay together forever?

Zheng Haifei seemed to know Xiao Xi's heart, turned his head and looked at Xiao Xi, his eyes were full of tenderness and affection.Knowing that Xiao Xi couldn't speak, he spoke up for him: "Auntie, you should also eat more."

Xiao's mother nodded frequently: "Hey, okay, thank you!"

Da Liu said while eating, "Xiao Zheng is really good, capable and filial, you are lucky, Sister Li."

Aunt Li was flattered, nodded with a smile, and did not forget to praise Xiao Xi: "In fact, Xiao Xi is also a very sensible and filial child." Xiao Xi who was eating, the meat that had just been stuffed into his mouth fell off, and he stared at his father in panic. Of course, Aunt Li did not mention herself for no reason, because he was already at the dinner table, but in his father's view, It was brought up for no reason.

Aunt Liu hurriedly took the lead and said: "Yes, Xiao Xi is actually quite good. Poor child, he is floating on the sea somewhere. We eat big fish and meat here, and that child can't even eat vegetables. "As he spoke, he winked at Xiao Xi.Open your eyes and talk nonsense in a serious manner, and you are talking about Aunt Liu.

Xiao Xi almost couldn't help laughing.

Big Liu nodded again and again: "That's right, it's not good to do anything, but to be a seaman. Didn't Xiao Zheng do it before? The hardest and most tiring thing is being a seaman, and he still doesn't have a home all year round. Sister-in-law, hurry up and call Xiao Xi. come back."

Aunt Liu agreed, "Yes, yes. I heard that something happened to the ship Xiao Xi was working on. One of the crew members seemed to be almost paralyzed by the collision. It was a crime. I heard that he was not very old, only in his 20s. I was scared to death when I heard it, but fortunately Xiao Xi is fine."

Zheng Haifei looked at Xiao Xi suddenly, and Xiao Xi was also looking at him. Xiao Xi always remembered Zhang Huayuan's accident, so he didn't tell Zheng Haifei what happened on the boat, for fear that he would be worried, but Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu did not expect to tell it. up.The two looked at each other, and then looked at Aunt Li tacitly.Aunt Li was about to drink a drink, but when she heard this, she shook her hand, and the drink spilled out onto her clothes and trousers.Zheng Haifei and Xiao Xi who were sitting next to her quickly got up to get tissues, Zheng Haifei said with concern: "Mom, are you okay?"

Everyone looked at Aunt Li. Aunt Li put down the glass with trembling hands, her eyes were red. Zheng Haifei wiped the coconut milk on her clothes and trousers with a tissue, and Xiao Xi pulled a tissue and handed it to Aunt Li to wipe her tears.Everyone was a little surprised, why Aunt Li lost her composure.

Mother Xiao asked with concern: "Sister, are you okay?"

Aunt Li shook her head, her throat was a little choked, and she didn't speak.Zheng Haifei comforted her in a low voice: "Mom, don't be sad."

Aunt Li reached out and grabbed the hands of Xiao Xi and Zheng Haifei, choked up and said, "Don't be a seaman, it's too dangerous." As soon as she said this, her tears also came out. After she finished speaking, she hurriedly turned her head and got up. went outside.

The table was full of people quietly watching Aunt Li's changes, full of doubts, but no one spoke.When Aunt Li was far away, Zheng Haifei said in a low voice: "My mother's son died in an accident when she was a seaman. When she heard that someone had an accident on the ship, she thought of her son."

The atmosphere instantly became solemn, no one spoke anymore, and no one ate any more, even Xiao Yuhuan fell silent.

After Zheng Haifei finished explaining, he got up and went to comfort Aunt Li.Mother Xiao looked up at Xiao Xi, with complicated emotions in her eyes, then sighed softly, turned around and said to her husband: "Whether you agree or not, I have to call my son back. I don't want any troubles with my son."

Xiao Yuhuan didn't even hum this time, so she agreed with it.

After a while, Zheng Haifei came back with Aunt Li.Aunt Li apologized embarrassingly: "I'm sorry everyone, I remembered something and felt uncomfortable. It's okay, let's eat."

The meal was a bit dull. Although Da Liu had been enlivening the atmosphere, he couldn't mobilize it, because everyone's emotions were not too high, and Xiao Xi, who was more flattering, was in a state of silence again.

After dinner, Aunt Li didn't stay any longer and went back first.Da Liu said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to touch your mother's sadness and make her sad."

Zheng Haifei shook his head lightly: "Don't blame Uncle Liu, no one wants this to happen."

Xiao Xi knew that this was not only Aunt Li's sad event, but also Zheng Haifei's sad past, so he must be feeling bad at the moment.But in front of everyone, he couldn't say anything.

After Xiao's father and Xiao's mother left, Da Liu asked Xiao Xi: "Uncle, please take you back to school. I have something to tell you."

Xiao Xi glanced at Zheng Haifei, he originally planned to stay today, but Liu said so, he can't stay, so he said: "Okay."

Zheng Haifei looked at him with reluctance in his eyes, but he didn't object, just nodded to him: "Go back and rest early."

Xiao Xi nodded and got into Da Liu's car.In the car, Da Liu said to Xiao Xi: "You call home tomorrow and convince your mother that you want to come back. Your father should not object."

"understood."

"Then wait another ten and a half months before going home. Don't make the matter between you and Zheng Haifei too high-profile, and consider the feelings of us old guys." Uncle Liu continued.

"En." Xiao Xi thought for a while, "Uncle, I want to borrow some money from you."

"How much? What do you want money for?"

Xiao Xi said: "I want to rent the land behind Zheng Haifei's house and build a big shed."

"Grow succulents too?"

"Don't grow succulents, plant some other flowers and plants. Zheng Haifei and I opened a greenhouse together, just to expand the scale."

"What kind of flowers and plants?" Aunt Liu was more interested.

Xiao Xi said, "Maybe grow roses."

Aunt Liu strongly supported: "Okay, it's good to grow roses, I like roses. Aunt supports you."

Xiao Xi smiled: "Thank you, Aunt."

Da Liu asked, "How much?"

Xiao Xi said: "I'm not sure yet, maybe it will cost 20 or [-] yuan, and I won't know until the budget comes out. Is it possible, Uncle Liu?" He can actually borrow money from his mother, but he is afraid that his father will find out and say that he is an old man. , and borrowing Uncle Liu's money can urge myself to work hard to make money and pay off debts.

Da Liu squinted at him: "Tell me in advance when the time comes."

When Xiao Xi heard this, she said happily, "Thank you uncle!"

As soon as he arrived at the dormitory, Zheng Haifei's WeChat came: "Are you in the dormitory?"

Xiao Xi replied: "It's here."

Zheng Haifei's call came in the next second: "Why didn't you tell me about such a big incident on the boat?" Xiao Xi was taken away, so I had to call and ask.

Xiao Xi had no choice but to tell the whole story, concealing the history of his illness and fever, and reassured: "The situation was dangerous at that time, but I am really fine. Didn't I come back intact?"

Zheng Haifei's Adam's apple slipped, and he said in a low voice, "Fortunately, you are fine. You are not allowed to run around in the future, and you must call me wherever you are going."

Xiao Xi couldn't help but think of the things he thought of when he saw his parents during the meal, and a burst of sweetness came to his heart, and he said obediently: "I see, I will call you."

Zheng Haifei saw that he was so cooperative, and the panic and uneasiness in his heart disappeared a little: "Remember to call your mother tomorrow."

"I know. Why do you talk to Uncle Liu?" Having said that, it was very useful in my heart, and then I talked about Uncle Liu's promise to borrow money. Xi went over, and the two went to budget and plan together.Xiao Xi is about to graduate, so this matter should be put on the agenda.

Two days later, Xiao Xi called home, saying that her ship had arrived at a certain port for supplies, and she had come ashore to contact her family, asking about his father's situation.Xiao's mother was considerate, and she didn't wait for Xiao Xi to take the initiative to say that she wanted to come back, so she took the initiative to ask about Liu Qiang's accident in front of Xiao's father. Xi, come back, don't be a sailor, come back, okay? Mom is really scared, thinking of your troubles, I can't sleep at night."

Xiao Xi stammered, "Mom, if I come back now, I won't be separated from Zheng Haifei."

Xiao's mother gritted her teeth with hatred for her son's overreaching, and said vaguely: "You come back first, you can talk about anything when you come back."

Xiao Xi said again: "Does my dad agree with me coming back?"

Xiao's mother looked at her husband, gritted her teeth and said, "Your father also asked you to come back."

Xiao Yuhuan stated from the side: "I don't have it!" But his confidence was obviously lacking.

Xiao's mother turned her head and stared at her husband: "Shut up!"

Xiao Yuhuan didn't speak any more, and turned around to tease the dog.

Xiao Xi accepted it when he saw it was good, and said along the way: "I'll be back when I finish this trip."

Mother Xiao said loudly: "Don't run away, come back to me quickly! I'll call your Uncle Zhang right away."

Xiao Xi was also eager to go home early, so she didn't have to pretend that she didn't exist, so she said, "Okay, I'll call and tell Uncle Zhang myself."

Xiao Xi hung up the phone and immediately called Zheng Haifei: "Haha, I can finally go home in a legitimate way. Come pick me up."

Zheng Haifei didn't ask anything, just said: "Okay." Immediately put down the work in hand.After taking a shower, he changed his clothes and went to pick up Xiao Xi.

Xiao Xi saw that Zheng Haifei still had damp hair, looked at his shirt and trousers, and his shiny shoes, as if he was going to meet his in-laws, and said with a smile, "Have you taken a bath yet?"

Zheng Haifei rubbed the back of his head: "I was mixing soil just now, and I took a shower. Let's go, where is the luggage?" Although the luggage has already been moved home, since it is going home, it must be put on.

Xiao Xi smiled and rolled her eyes: "I'm not going back to my own home today, I'm going to your place. I'm still abroad."

Zheng Haifei understood: "That's not your home anymore, it's your parents' home, and your home is here." After speaking, he pointed to himself.

Xiao Xi blinked: "Yes, that's our parents' home."

If it wasn't at the door of the dormitory, Zheng Haifei really wanted to give Xiao Xi a good kiss.

After getting into the car, Zheng Haifei asked: "I won't go back yet, let's go outside for a walk."

"where to?"

"where do you want to go?"

Xiao Xi looked at Zheng Haifei: "Anywhere? Is it a date?"

"Yeah." Zheng Haifei replied briefly, but the brows could not hide the lightness. After coming back for so long, the two of them still haven't gotten along well.

Xiao Xi looked at the blooming apple blossoms by the roadside, and suggested, "Do you know where the apple orchards can be visited?"

Zheng Haifei thought for a while: "I'll take you to a place."

The car drove to the suburbs, out of the city and headed west, Xiao Xi looked at the road and said, "Isn't this the way home?"

Zheng Haifei said, "Yes."

The car soon arrived at the shed, Zheng Haifei stopped the car and said, "You don't need to go down, wait for me, I'll go get something." After speaking, he hurried down.

Xiao Xi put down the car window and watched Zheng Haifei rushing into the greenhouse. There were figures shaking in the transparent glass greenhouse, and it seemed that there were quite a few guests.Luo Juan saw Zheng Haifei and said something to him. Zheng Haifei waved his hand and walked back.A few minutes later, Zheng Haifei ran out again in a hurry. Luo Juan raised his arms and made a fist movement, still saying something.From the smile on her face, it can be seen that she must be in YY's business with Zheng Haifei again, Xiao Xi couldn't help but shook her head with a smile.

Zheng Haifei jumped into the car and threw the bag in his hand to Xiao Xi: "You take it."

Xiao Xi opened the bag and saw a SLR camera and a large bag of snacks inside. Xiao Xi tore open a salt-baked chicken leg: "When did you buy the snacks?" He loves salt-baked chicken wings.

Zheng Haifei started the car: "I bought it two days ago, and I haven't had time to send it to you, so it just came in handy."

"Hee hee, thank you, it's delicious. Try it." He said and handed the chicken leg that he took a bite to Zheng Haifei's mouth.

Zheng Haifei opened his mouth and took a bite, and said, "You eat by yourself, I will drive."

"Is it delicious?" Xiao Xi rested her elbows on the car window, gnawed on the chicken leg while the wind was blowing, her mood was like the apple blossoms in full bloom in April, bright and gorgeous.

Zheng Haifei took a sneak peek at him from time to time, the joy in his heart rolled up like the bubbles of soda, and made a cheerful puffing sound.

What Zheng Haifei took Xiao Xi to was a farmhouse on the outskirts of the city. The owner had planted an orchard of over [-] mu. At this moment, the apple blossoms were blooming on the branches. From a distance, it looked like a pink spring snowfall.Xiao Xi was jumping and running in the orchard, like a child, and Zheng Haifei, who was stable, was also brought into a wild state by him, and the two played freely for most of the afternoon.When the sun was setting to the west, they went fishing in the water bubble at the end of the orchard. Xiao Xi also caught a red-tailed carp. It was very lucky.

It was time to call it a day and go back to eat. Xiao Xi poured out the red carp from the bucket: "The carp is a mascot, not to mention it is red. Let's put it away. It can be regarded as a blessing for our future, and bless us all in peace." Ann, Enenaiai!"

Hearing this, Zheng Haifei couldn't help feeling funny, and while there was no one around, he quickly pecked Xiao Xi's lips: "Everything is as you wish!"

After dinner, Zheng Haifei drove back to the city.Xiao Xi was tired from playing, and fell asleep not long after getting in the car. When he woke up, he found that he had arrived at Yuexuan Community: "Hey, why are you here? Didn't you go to the shed?"

Zheng Haifei leaned over to take off his seat belt for him, and took advantage of the situation to peck him on the lips: "This is our home." This is the real world of two people, no one disturbs.

Xiao Xi said: "I haven't lived here for a long time, have you cleaned everything?"

"Wait for you to test it, please." Zheng Haifei smiled.

Xiao Xi packed up the house after he came back from Germany, and Zheng Haifei was waiting for the day when he could use it, but it was almost half a month before they came back here.The house was tidied up and furnished very warmly. Xiao Xi entered the house and stretched her waist: "That's right, this is our home!" He and Zheng Haifei bought all the furniture in this house, so they felt very suitable. Mind.

Zheng Haifei said: "You are back now, let's renovate the house next door." Originally, they had already said to renovate, but later the two were forced to come out, and Xiao Xi went out to sea again. Zheng Haifei was not in the mood to do it, so he kept on Shelved it.

Xiao Xi jumped into the lazy sofa and rolled over: "Okay, I have to think about how it should be decorated." That house is their real home, and they need to pay more attention to it.

Zheng Haifei asked Xiao Xi: "Would you like something to drink?"

"Is there any wine?" I had dinner at the farmhouse tonight. The food tasted very good, but I couldn't drink to cheer up, because Zheng Haifei was going to drive, and Xiao Xi kept thinking about it.

"Of course." Not long after, Zheng Haifei brought a bottle of red wine and two goblets.

"Is there any candle?" Xiao Xi tilted his head and asked with a smile.

"No, just wait." Zheng Haifei turned off the headlights, turned on the faint yellow warm lights, then turned on the stereo, played some romantic music, and the atmosphere was immediately restored.

"To our love!" Xiao Xi and Zheng Haifei raised their glasses and clashed, making a crisp and sweet "ding" sound, as if they were finalizing their love.

Zheng Haifei took a sip of wine, put down his glass, and gave Xiao Xi a gentlemanly salute: "Handsome, can I ask you to dance?"

Xiao Xi laughed: "You still know this?"

Zheng Haifei raised his eyebrows handsomely: "Try?"

"Unfortunately, honor!" Xiao Xi raised her hand and placed it in Zheng Haifei's long-awaited palm.Zheng Haifei took his hand and performed a gorgeous spin, and then their bodies touched each other, dancing lightly to the romantic music, dancing their wonderful life.

--Finish--
