Chapter 21 Liang Zongshan's House
Cui Xue followed Liang Xiaoying through many twists and turns, and finally arrived in front of a brick and tile house.
"Mom, are you sure this is the place?" Cui Xue looked at her with some doubt, and found that she also had an uncertain look on her face.
These days, most of the rural houses are still adobe houses, and brick and tile houses are rare. Daliang Village is not bad, probably because of the unity and wealth, the captain's family was the first to build a brick and tile house.
In Daping Village, no one has built a brick and tile house yet, even their family, Cui Xiongnian as the captain, has not built a brick and tile house.
Of course, it's not that they don't have money, but Daping Village itself is not united with Daliang Village, and there are many people who are jealous of the Cui family. If they built a brick and tile house early, I'm afraid they will be watched even more. It is better
to have less trouble than more trouble. Cui Xiongnian thought for a long time and postponed the reconstruction of the house. "I think so... I heard that his house collapsed two years ago and a new house was built. I haven't been here since then, but the location is right." Cui Xue didn't know what else to say. Is her mother reliable? Just thinking about it, there was a noise at the door, and the door opened from the inside, and a short woman appeared at the door. "You..." She looked up and saw Cui Xue and her daughter, stunned for a moment, and then spoke in surprise: "Is it Yingzi?" "It's me, sister, do you still remember me?" Liang Xiaoying calmed down when she saw her. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, but it was the other party who recognized Liang Xiaoying first. After a few greetings, Liang Zongshan's mother Xu invited them into the house. "I haven't seen you for so many years, but you haven't changed at all." Xu looked at Liang Xiaoying carefully and smiled with emotion. Liang Xiaoying was considered to be married well. Her husband loved her and her children were obedient. She lived a comfortable life and naturally didn't look old even though she was getting older. Xu, on the other hand, lost her husband when she was young and raised Liang Zongshan alone. She had endless worries every day, and her life was difficult in the past. Now, she is only a few years older than Liang Xiaoying, but her hair is already full of white. "Old sister, I haven't seen you for so many years, you..." Liang Xiaoying couldn't help choking when she saw her white hair. " Well, no matter how hard the days are, they are all over." Xu's smile did not change, and the indifference in her tone made Cui Xue look at her twice more. Noticing her gaze, Xu turned her gaze to her. "Is this Xue'er? She's grown up so much and looks so good." "Hello, auntie." Cui Xue greeted her awkwardly. "It's our Xue'er. Last time, she said she would introduce your second son to her, but I was busy, so I asked my sister-in-law to come to our house and tell her that she hasn't come to our house for a long time. It's not us anymore." After hearing this, Cui Xue realized that her mother had asked some aunt to be the matchmaker. No wonder she always felt something was wrong. "These are all trivial matters." Xu smiled faintly and said, "Last time, my son and Xue'er had a quarrel, I didn't show up. It was because I was sick. When I heard about it, I immediately asked him to come to our house to apologize. It's a pity..." She didn't say what it was a pity, but everyone knew it. It was nothing more than Cui Xue's failure to be with Liang Zongshan. Therefore, Cui Xue was even more embarrassed. She didn't agree last time, but this time she agreed to date someone and come to see her future husband's family. It was hard not to feel embarrassed. "The children are grown up and have their own considerations, but they are destined to be together after all." Liang Xiaoying said, and told her about their correspondence in recent days and the things Liang Zongshan sent. Hearing that Cui Xue accepted the things and seeing that they came to her house today, Xu's eyes lit up instantly. She was a little excited, but she had experienced too many things in these years and was used to suppressing her emotions. So from Cui Xue's point of view, they only saw her eyes suddenly lit up. "That's great, that's great." Xu spoke for a long time. Apart from these two words, she didn't know what to say to express her feelings. "Xue'er, you and Zongshan are good. If he gets angry, tell your aunt and she will help you vent your anger!" Grabbing Cui Xue's hand, Xu said earnestly. "He can send so many things, so he should have completed the mission. I wonder if he can take another vacation during his unfinished vacation." Thinking of Liang Zongshan coming back, Cui Xue's body stiffened for a moment. Now she has only promised the elders that she is willing to try dating him, and she hasn't had time to tell him in person. If Liang Zongshan comes back before her letter arrives, wouldn't it be embarrassing? "I shouldn't be able to take a compensatory leave, right?" Cui Xue thought about it, and still felt that it was unlikely to take a vacation. Returning to the team means returning to the team, and it doesn't mean that there are no other tasks after the mission is completed. It is estimated that it is unrealistic for Liang Zongshan to come back in a short time. "I haven't seen him once in a year. I don't know if I was right or wrong to let him go." Xu was silent for a moment after hearing this, and couldn't help sighing. "Old sister, you said this, look at how capable Zongshan is now. If he hadn't gone, where would we have this house now? We've had enough of the hard days in the past. Now your son is out there giving you face, and you stay at home, living a good life is better than anything else." "That's right." Liang Xiaoying's comfort had some effect, and Xu no longer had the worry she had just had. They chatted for a long time until they heard thunder outside, and then they realized it was getting late. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, it was a sign of rain, so Xu began to persuade them to go back early, so as not to get caught in the rain. When they were leaving, Xu asked them to take the things they brought back, saying that she had everything here, and she couldn't eat so much by herself. Cui Xue and Liang Xiaoying disagreed no matter what they said, and insisted that they would not dare to come again if she didn't accept it. Only then did Xu accept it reluctantly, but when she sent them out, Xu gave Cui Xue a red envelope. "Good child, take it. This is a meeting gift from your aunt, you must accept it." Cui Xue looked at Liang Xiaoying helplessly, and only dared to accept it when she saw her nod. There is a custom of meeting gifts here. When a woman goes to the man's house for the first time, the amount of meeting gifts given by the man's elders can show how satisfied he is with the woman. This custom may not exist in other places nowadays, but several villages near Daliang Village still retain this custom. After unloading the things, the back seat was empty, and Cui Xue took Liang Xiaoying and drove quickly to Daping Village.
The dark clouds in the sky gathered more and more, which was really disturbing. Cui Xue was so anxious that her bicycle was smoking.
Fortunately, she entered the house before the rain came. In a moment, the heavy rain fell without any warning.
"Ouch, it's really going to kill me."
"If I don't hurry up, we will be drowned."
The laughter of the mother and daughter in the yard was heartwarming in the rain.
