In the evening, Xiao Yue came back, feeling cold.
"It's snowing?" Shi Ye looked at the snowflakes on his body, stunned for a moment, and ran to the door to look. The sky was full of snowflakes, falling down one after another. Soon the ground was covered with a white layer, covered in silver, clean and beautiful.
She stretched out her hand to catch a few snowflakes. Xiao Yue's clothes were already draped over her. She said softly, "It's cold. Go back to the house."
Shi was also in a good mood and sighed, "Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. Next year will definitely be a good year."
Xiao Yue hummed lightly, patted the falling snowflakes on Mi Ye's shoulders, and pulled her back to the house.
Tong Muzhen was also busying around, pouring water for Xiao Yue, wiping the water drops on his clothes, and saying that she had bought him a few pairs of wool socks. In short, she was very thoughtful, which made Xiao Yue feel a little uncomfortable.
He reached out and held Tong Muzhen, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mom, don't be so polite."
Hearing him call "Mom", Tong Muzhen's eyes turned red again, but she quickly wiped them and waved her hand, "No, you're welcome. I just felt bad thinking that you've been alone outside for so many years and Mom hasn't taken care of you."
Shi also watched, sighed softly, and went upstairs, leaving the rare time together to Xiao Yue and Tong Muzhen.
The truth has come to light, and it has created an indelible gap between Xiao Yue and Tong Muzhen.
Tong Muzhen's indecision, Xiao Yue's pain, and the miserable ending of his previous life, make it difficult for both parties to go back to the past.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yue went upstairs to call her. As soon as they went out, they saw Xia Yun coming out of the room.
She was still wearing sunglasses and looked weird. She glanced at the two of them, said nothing, and hurried downstairs.
Shiya looked at Xia Yun's back and sighed softly, thinking that it was really bad luck that "bright big eyes" were gone.
After going downstairs, Xia Yun was already sitting at the table. Tong Muzhen brought out the dishes and frowned at her appearance, saying, "Why do you wear sunglasses at home all day? Aren't you uncomfortable?"
Xia Yun's voice was a little stiff: "No, no, it's not uncomfortable, I'm not uncomfortable."
Hearing her say that, Tong Muzhen didn't bother to care about her. When she saw Shiye and Xiaoyue coming down, she smiled and greeted them, "Xiaoye."
Shi also stepped forward and looked at the table full of delicious food, his eyebrows curved: "This is my aunt's cooking skill."
Hearing this, Tong Muzhen burst out laughing: "It's not my craftsmanship, most of it was done by you, you are praising yourself? Ah Yue, look at your wife, you have no shame, you don't even blush when you praise yourself."
Xiao Yue chuckled, looked at Shiye tenderly, and nodded, "Your craftsmanship is indeed good."
Xia Yun sat aside, watching the three people having fun, lowered her head, but sneered in her heart.
"Why hasn't your dad come back yet?" Tong Muzhen set the table, took off her apron and walked towards the door.
"It's snowing so heavily, I'll go take a look." Xiao Yue stopped her and looked towards the door. It was already dark.
Tong Muzhen nodded and watched Xiao Yue go out. After a while, he came back with Xiao Fengnian following him.
They were both silent, one in front and one behind. Tong Muzhen noticed something was wrong and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"It's okay, let's eat." Xiao Fengnian took off his coat, washed his hands, walked to the table and sat down at the main seat.
Looking at the table full of food, thinking that Xiao Yue and Shi would be leaving tomorrow, Xiao Fengnian had a complicated look in his eyes, and said to Tong Muzhen, "Tonight is different, go get some wine, let Ah Yue and I have a few drinks, we haven't had a drink in a long time."
Tong Muzhen felt unhappy, but didn't say anything. She nodded and took a bottle of white wine.
Xiao Yue glanced at Shiye, as if asking a question. Shiye was slightly surprised. He really didn't expect Xiao Yue to be so self-aware. He chuckled and said, "It's rare that Uncle Xiao is in such a good mood. Let's have a drink. It's OK as long as it doesn't delay our departure tomorrow."
Xiao Yue hummed lightly, looking so well-behaved that Xia Yun, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but clench her chopsticks again.
In her previous life, she had successfully conquered Xiao Yue, but had he ever been so considerate to her?
Xia Yun bit her lip, and her eyes behind the sunglasses unconsciously glanced at Xiao Yue. Such a handsome male protagonist was obviously hers, but she missed him again and again, and in the end it fell to Shi Ye, the control group. It was ridiculous.
She stuffed a mouthful of food into her mouth, then hesitated. The food was just the right amount of saltiness and had a tangy aroma.
Xia Yun wanted to cry again. How could she be inferior to Shiye in every way? Didn't their fates swap?
When Xiao Fengnian saw that Xiao Yue even asked Shi Ye about drinking a sip of wine, his expression became more complicated.
Xiao Fengnian personally poured a glass of wine for Xiao Yue. Looking at this son who made him so proud, he felt even more uncomfortable.
He drank it in one gulp and said in a deep voice, "Ah Yue, you have to take good care of yourself when you go to the northwest. The conditions there are not as good as those in Yandu, and the environment is harsh. You have to be careful in everything you do. If you encounter any difficulties, don't bear it alone, be sure to tell dad. No matter what time, we are a family, this is an ironclad fact, and it will never change, remember it!"
Xiao Yue looked at Xiao Fengnian's expression, nodded, picked up the wine cup, and drank it all in one gulp.
"You have nothing in your stomach, so drink less and eat more dishes. Today's dishes are all made by Xiaoye, come and try them." Seeing that Xiao Fengnian was about to pour wine again, Tong Muzhen hurriedly stopped him and picked up a few chopsticks of dishes for both of them.
"Did Xiaoye do it?" Xiao Fengnian glanced at Shiye, then at the table full of delicious food, and he finally felt relieved. Even if this daughter-in-law was disrespectful to the elderly and loved to be stubborn, she at least had some merits that she could show off.
He took a bite, his expression relaxed, and he silently praised, "It's delicious."
Shi also curled his lips, in a good mood, and rarely did he bully Xiao Fengnian.
Xiao Fengnian ate a few bites of food, poured a glass of wine, and suddenly asked, "Are you not planning to hold the wedding in Yandu?"
Shi didn't plan to speak, and Xiao Yue put down his chopsticks and replied calmly: "Xiao Ye and I are both border guards. Since we are going to have a wedding, it would be best to have it witnessed by our comrades. As long as the marriage report is submitted, the wedding is just a formality."
Tong Muzhen disagreed: "How can you say that? How many times can a woman get married in her lifetime? I must give Xiaoye the best. Why don't we hold the wedding in Yandu? Mom will prepare it for you and make sure it's decent!"
Seeing her eager expression, Shi also said hurriedly: "Aunt, I like weddings in the northwest. The desert, Gobi, wilderness and grassland are full of beautiful scenery. It is unique and different. I like this kind of free wedding."
This was not a lie. Compared to inviting a large group of people to a banquet in the city, sitting together eating and drinking, and watching her and Xiao Yue like watching monkeys, it would be better to go to the northwest in military uniform and have a wedding that belongs to only the two of them.
Seeing the longing in Shiye's eyes, Tong Muzhen sighed and said softly, "You have grown up and are going to get married. It's your own wedding, so you can do whatever you want! But auntie probably can't go, so you guys take care of yourself."
