Lu Chaoli raised his lips slightly: "Sit tight."
As soon as he finished speaking, he started the motorcycle again and drove off towards Taohua Village.
Riding the motorcycle he had been longing for for a long time, with his beloved one on board, Lu Chaoli exuded a joyful atmosphere all over his body, and even the air was filled with a hint of sweetness.
The two of them returned to Taohua Village, chatting and laughing all the way. It was just time for dinner. The villagers had just returned from the fields, and when they heard the sound of the motorcycle, they turned their heads and looked back.
Motorcycles are a rare thing in this era, especially in the remote and backward Taohua Village, where most villagers have never seen one.
Now, after hearing the sound, they looked back curiously, wanting to see who had come to their village.
As everyone looked around curiously, Lu Chaoli, riding a motorcycle, came into their sight. When they saw the familiar figure, their eyes suddenly widened.
"Chao, Chao Salute? The person riding the motorcycle is Chao Salute!"
"It really is a court ceremony! I thought it was someone from outside who came to our village, but I didn't expect it to be a court ceremony!"
The villagers stopped on both sides of the road carrying hoes, their eyes all fell on Lu Chaoli in front of them, and started chatting with Lu Chaoli from a distance.
"Chao Li, is this the motorcycle you just bought?"
Uncle Liu looked at Lu Chaoli with a smile. Even though he was old, he was still very interested in things like motorcycles.
Lu Chaoli stopped in front of the crowd on his motorcycle and said, "I just got this from Uncle Xiang. I'll let Uncle Liu try it later!"
Uncle Liu smiled and waved his hands: "I'm too old to learn how to ride a motorcycle!"
The uncles and aunts in the village were interested in the motorcycle that Lu Chaoli was riding, but the aunts and grandmothers all focused their attention on Jiang Li who was sitting on the back of the motorcycle.
"Look at Xiao Jiang, his face is all red. Is he too hot?"
"Are you thirsty, Xiao Jiang? I have some water here, drink some and quench your thirst!"
Aunt Zhang and Aunt Zhou came forward to show concern when they saw Jiang Li's blushing face.
Jiang Li waved her hands quickly: "I'm not thirsty, not thirsty, Aunt Zhou, please don't bother me."
After Jiang Li and Lu Chaoli understood each other's feelings, they did not hide it from the people in the village. Now everyone in Taohua Village knows that Lu Chaoli has pursued Jiang Li, and the aunts and sisters all praise her for being sensible.
After saying hello to the villagers, Lu Chaoli rode his motorcycle and took Jiang Li back home. Lu's father and mother knew that Lu Chaoli was going to the town to buy a motorcycle this time. When they heard the sound of the motorcycle, they were instantly excited.
"Dad, please check if my clothes fit me well!"
Mother Lu said as she turned around in front of Father Lu. This was the first time Jiang Li came to their house for dinner, and Mother Lu was a little nervous.
Father Lu nodded and smiled: "It fits, it fits!"
"What about your hair? Is it messy?"
Mother Lu touched her freshly combed hair and ran to the mirror on the windowsill to look at herself without waiting for Father Lu to speak.
Father Lu also stood up and straightened his clothes: "Mom, stop taking pictures, Chao Li is back with his people, let's go out and welcome them!"
Hearing the sound of the motorcycle getting closer, Father Lu urged and came behind Mother Lu with a smile.
"Come on, come on, this is Xiao Jiang's first time eating at our house, don't just eat by yourself, give him some space!"
"Got it!"
Father Lu responded, and then he and Mother Lu went to the door one after another.
"It seems to be Aunt Lu in front."
As soon as Lu's mother came out, Jiang Li recognized her with her sharp eyes.
Lu Chaoli smiled and said, "Last night I told my mother that I would bring you home for dinner today. My mother was so excited that she didn't sleep much all night, and she got up early this morning to start preparing."
While the two were talking, Lu's father also came to the door. The old couple had smiles on their faces and their eyes followed Lu Chaoli and Jiang Li in front of them.
Lu Chaoli slowed down the car and stopped in front of the door, and the next moment Lu's mother came to meet him.
"Thank you, Aunt Lu."
Jiang Li's eyes smiled into crescents, and she held onto Lu's mother's hand and got off the motorcycle.
"It's too hot, right? Come on, let's go inside. It's cooler there!"
Although it was not the first time she met Jiang Li, Mother Lu was always happy to see her and walked towards home with her arm in an intimate manner.
"Uncle Lu."
When she walked up to Mr. Lu, Jiang Li took the initiative to greet him. Mr. Lu, who was meeting his future daughter-in-law for the first time, clenched his hands nervously, and sweat broke out on his palms.
"It's hot outside, go back inside."
Mother Lu asked Jiang Li to go back to the house, while Father Lu followed Lu Chaoli and pushed the motorcycle into the yard.
Before the two returned to the house, Father Lu patted Lu Chaoli on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, Xiao Jiang is sensible and polite. You can tell at a glance that he is a good kid. Be nice to him in the future, or you will be in trouble if I don't beat you up!"
Father Lu had a very good first impression of Jiang Li and was already in favor of her before she even got married.
Lu Chaoli chuckled: "Don't worry, Dad, I will never bully Xiao Jiang in my life!"
"Why are you two mumbling outside instead of coming in to eat?"
After asking Jiang Li to sit down, Mother Lu turned around and urged the father and son outside the courtyard.
"Right on!"
Lu Chaoli responded, ran to the water tank to wash his hands, then fetched a basin of clean water and brought it into the house.
"Xiao Jiang, come, wash your hands and let's eat."
Lu Chaoli brought the basin of water directly to Jiang Li. Seeing this, Lu's mother hurriedly took a new towel.
"Put it down, I'll go wash it over there."
Jiang Li, who was already sitting at the dining table, whispered to Lu Chaoli.
"No need to run back and forth, I can just hold you and wash you."
Lu Chaoli held the basin and bent over to Jiang Li.
Mother Lu, holding a towel, echoed, "Yes, Xiao Jiang, just sit down. Wash your hands quickly and we'll have dinner!"
Under the gaze of the three people, Jiang Li sat at the dining table and washed her hands. As soon as she finished washing, Lu's mother handed her a towel.
"Come on, wipe it off."
"Thank you, Aunt Lu."
Jiang Li took the towel and wiped her hands. When she was about to stand up and hang up the towel, Lu Chaoli put his hands on her shoulders.
"Just sit there and I'll go."
Father Lu and Mother Lu came in with freshly steamed buns and dishes. Seeing this, they smiled at each other. This kid finally knows how to care for others! After seeing Father Lu and Mother Lu carrying things in, Jiang Li got up from her seat to help.
"Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu, let me do it."
"No, no, Xiao Jiang, just sit down."
As Mother Lu spoke, she placed the freshly steamed buns on the table, and Father Lu also placed the plate of food in front of Jiang Li.
In order to welcome Jiang Li, Lu's mother prepared eight dishes today.
"You must be starving after running around town with Chao Li all morning. Come eat something you want. Try Aunt Lu's cooking and see if it suits your taste!"
Father Lu also agreed with a smile: "Eat quickly, don't be polite here, just treat it as your own home!"
