When Song Yingwan went out, she saw Xie Ci standing at the dining table looking at her with a smile on her face, her eyes as bright as if they were filled with stars.
She was stunned for a moment, turned her head to avoid his sight, and asked softly, "Where are my grandparents?"
He stood there and said warmly, "I went to play chess at my neighbor's house."
"oh."
She nodded and asked, "What do you want to eat in the morning?"
Thank you, "Are the steamed buns and fried dough sticks good?"
Song Yingwan curled her lips and said, "Okay."
Upon seeing this, Xie Ci came over, took her hand, and led her to the chair next to the dining table. He put his hands on her shoulders, and Song Yingwan followed his strength and sat down.
Standing and sitting, she could only look up at him.
He thanked her and bowed slightly, staring at her with his eyes fixed on her. His eyebrows were bent downward, and his eyes were full of smiles.
Song Yingwan's face heated up when he looked at her, and she said coquettishly, "Don't look at me like that."
The corners of his mouth curved deeper, "What should I do if I can't help it?"
She raised her head, met his eyebrows, and then moved downwards, finally settling on his lips. Her mind uncontrollably recalled the ripples caused by the soft touch on her skin last night.
Unable to help herself, she raised her waist slightly, grasped the clothes on his arms with both hands, and pressed her lips to the corners of his mouth, as if she wanted to keep that smile forever.
The next second, the distance was opened again. If it weren't for the warm touch at the corner of his lips, Xie Ci would have thought it was his imagination.
His eyes darkened for a moment, he pursed his lips silently, and stared at her intently, but it disappeared for a moment. He tilted his head and chuckled, the tenderness and love in his eyes clearly visible.
Song Yingwan couldn't help but smile, looked at him and said softly, "Thank you, I'm hungry."
He lowered his eyes to look at her again and said warmly, "Okay, I'll be here soon--"
"my dear."
***
The two of them had the most delicious breakfast this morning, and even the rainy weather became no longer annoying.
After the meal, Song Yingwan still felt a little sleepy, so he thanked her and went back to sleep with her. The rain outside was heavy, but the inside was warm enough.
But fortunately, the weather cleared up in the afternoon. Xie fulfilled his promise yesterday and took Song Yingwan to see the unique old city. They walked in the narrow alleys, as if time had stopped.
She went to the dazzling shopping mall again, and thanked her as if she was addicted. She wanted to buy everything for Song Yingwan. She didn't leave behind anything like watches, clothes, and shoes. She felt that she wouldn't have to buy anything in the next year.
After the two of them had fun for two days, it was time to go back. On the last day, everyone came to Grandma Xie's house for lunch. Even Xie Jianguo rarely said anything inappropriate.
Originally, Jiang Meilin was also clamoring to follow. Although she has added another boy to the Xie family, she has never set foot in the compound, let alone met the two elders of the Xie family. Without Xie Jianguo, she wanted to enter. Can't get in either.
Therefore, since the first song, no two elders of the Xie family have spoken, and no one outside has admitted that she is the wife of the Xie family. This song is a thorn in Jiang Meilin's heart.
She originally thought that after having a child, her position in the Xie family would be stable. The Xie family had no choice but to accept her no matter how unwilling they were to admit it. Therefore, she was very cautious during the tenth month of her pregnancy, fearing that something might happen to the child.
But who would have thought that up to now, she had not even seen the shadow of Xie's family, as if they were not mother and son at home. She was so angry that she could only hold it in her stomach.
So when she finally got a chance, she tried her best to pass. Even if she knew there were words of thanks, she didn't care. But after she said both good and bad things, Xie Jianguo wouldn't let go, and she didn't pass the first hurdle.
This brief introduction made Jiang Meilin doubt her life. What kind of person did she marry?
It was still Xie Zetian who sent them off on the day they left. Originally, Grandma Xie and Grandpa Xie wanted to go with them, but Song Yingwan was worried about the crowds at the train station and didn't want the two elders to go back and forth. In the end, she thanked them and only let Xie Zetian go. deliver.
Before getting on the train, Xie Zetian patted Xie Ci's arm and said, "Be careful on the road. I'll treat you to a drink when you come back next time."
He thanked him with a faint smile and said, "Okay."
After a pause, he added, "Grandpa and grandma have done the hard work for you."
Xie Zetian raised his thin lips slightly, "I understand, you don't need to worry about it here."
He tilted his head and said calmly, "As long as I'm watching, that woman can't cause any trouble. It's your turn."
After thanking him, he looked at the man, his lips gradually tightened, "Thank you, brother."
Xie Zetian glanced at him but said nothing. He turned to Song Yingwan and nodded before saying, "Okay, let's get in the car. Remember to call home when you get there."
Without saying any more words of thanks, he held Song Yingwan's hand and said goodbye, "Brother, let's go."
Song Yingwan also continued, "Goodbye, brother."
Xie Zetian leaned in front of the car and watched the two people's figures drifting away. He turned around and left only when no one could be seen.
It happened to be morning when the two of them arrived at the county seat. After getting off the train, they went to call their families. Then they went to a state-owned hotel for lunch, and then took the bus back to Qingshan Commune in the afternoon.
When we arrived at Liujia Village, the sun had already begun to set. An aunt in the village was sitting in front of her house choosing vegetables. When she saw them, she raised her voice and said, "Hey, Song Zhiqing and Xie Zhiqing are back?"
When Song Yingwan heard this voice, she felt inexplicably friendly and said with a smile, "Well, where are you choosing the dishes?"
The aunt said in a hearty tone, "I'm coming over for dinner tonight. I happen to have a lot to do."
Song Yingwan said, "No need, we're home in two steps."
Then I met a few villagers walking around on the road. I nodded to those I didn’t know and said hello to those I spoke to. In this way, the distance from the village entrance to my home took more than 20 minutes. .
After Xie Xi found the key and opened the door, the two of them finally arrived home.
Looking back, Song Yingwan felt funny. When he first went to the countryside, the educated youth were the educated youth and the villagers were the villagers. The boundary between the two sides couldn't be clearer. But now it doesn't matter so much. As expected, people are still emotional animals.
Before leaving, the two of them stored all the daily things in the cabinet, so the room only needed to be cleaned a little. Seeing that it was getting dark, Song Yingwan asked Xie to clean the kitchen first. Don't delay. Wait a moment. Cook.
She was cleaning the room in the house. When it was her turn to say goodbye to the room, she was a little hesitant. She didn't know whether she should do it or not. The two of them slept in separate rooms before, but after returning this time, whether they were in the Song family or in the Xie's family, both of them are in the same room, and now their relationship has taken another step forward.
They had never discussed this matter before they came back. After hesitating for a long time, Song Yingwan simply cleaned up together. It didn't take much effort anyway.
