167 It's Difficult to Be Gentle, But Deep in Love

Xu Cheng's mother held my hand and happily pulled me around the yard. There was a large number of people following behind her. The feeling was really like a leader going to the countryside to inspect. Xu Cheng was already pulled into the living room by a group of men. I was surrounded by a group of women and enthusiastically introduced me to this and that. After a long time of trouble, I couldn't figure out which one was the third aunt and which one was the sixth aunt. I could only call my aunt when I caught the older one, and call my sister when I caught the younger one.

Finally, a call saved me. I ran to the door by answering the phone. When I saw that it was an old man who called me, I was so surprised. I said: Old man, do you think of me?

He laughed happily and said: Girl, where have you been?

I said: Yes, it’s not long since I got off the bus.

He said oh, and then said: I was having fun there.

I asked him mischievously on the phone: Why, the old man misses me?

He smiled again and said: Yes, girl, you are not here recently, and no one has played chess with me.

I said: You wait for me at home, and I will go back after the New Year.

He smiled and said yes, and after a while, he said: Don't let that kid bully him.

I said: Haha, he loves me so don't worry.

He said with some loss: Is that right?... Then I will go back to the mountain to practice.

I suddenly saw the back of an old man walking slowly on the mountain with his hands behind his back. The wind blew and snowflakes were floating, and he was lonely. I said a little sadly: Old man, take good care of himself, I will be back after the New Year.

He nodded, then we exchanged a few greetings and hung up the phone. He gradually became a little psychologically dependent on me. He had probably lived for so many years and had never had such in-depth communication and exchanges with anyone. An old man who has no friends, no many relatives, and devoted himself to practicing Taoism, even if there is a green lamp next to the ancient Buddha, once he touches his heart, he will probably become particularly lonely.

I calmed down and entered the house. When I saw me coming in, a woman who was a few years older than me came over and asked me in awkward Mandarin: Zhizhi, are you hungry? The food is ready, come and eat quickly.

I smiled and said yes, and took her hand straight, and she was immediately flattered. When we entered the house together, I realized that there were men and women who were divided into tables, men and women who were one table. I looked at Xu Cheng quietly, his eyes were full of comfort. I made up my mind and thought about what could it be? Isn’t it just a meal? I have been having so many years of social engagements, but I can’t handle these girls.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt full of strength. So what about the strange environment? I was half a foot in the Xu family's door and was about to become a member of the Xu family's women. Then, just lift up my sleeves and do it! Isn't it just to maintain the relationship between sister-in-law, to give Xu Cheng a face, to leave a good impression in front of his parents! What's the difficulty!

After trying hard to cheer myself up, I calmly entered the table. Haha... the dishes were full of dishes. It seemed that the Xu family really took a lot of effort to welcome our return. Even the roasted lamb and roasted suckling pigs were served. The whole house was filled with fragrance, and various farm dishes were competing for beauty. Some wild vegetables that I had never heard of before were placed on the table. The most was of course chicken, duck, fish and meat. In short, it was a very extravagant rhythm.

I took a breath. It was the first time I saw this kind of affection in my life. Without Xu Cheng beside me, I was really scared when facing the woman with some language communication disorders at this big table. It was okay for me to deal with men and discuss business. It was my disadvantage to ask me to tell a group of women about their long-term shortcomings. At that moment, I was really stage frightened, and the psychological defense line that I finally made for myself was suddenly defeated.

The man had already drunk the table, and the sound of the wine-cutting fists was louder and louder. I looked at Xu Cheng from afar and talked to those men in his hometown dialect, and found that this was the most primitive nature in his body. This was really his root. He had removed all his daily cultivation and airs and drank with these brothers. He could not hear the flattering "Mr. Xu". All he heard was his nickname when he was a child: Ergouzi.

I was suddenly a little amused and crying. When the women called me Ergouzi's wife, I suddenly became even more depressed. I agreed bitterly, with a generous smile on my face. His mother sat next to me and accompanied me, desperately picking up food for me. I said thank you very much. Seeing all kinds of food piled high in the small bowl, I didn't know what to say.

I instinctively picked up those plates of wild vegetables that looked very fresh and crispy. As soon as I got off the chopsticks, my mother started to open it: Oh, you come from all the way, you can't just eat this wild vegetables. Then, come, eat more local chicken here. This mutton is also good. This fish is raised at the home of your uncle's nephew's wife's younger brother, and it is 100% wild...

Well... in one minute, there was another pile of so-called chicken, duck, fish and meat in the small bowl that I had just barely eaten. I felt a little crying and looked at Xu Cheng from a distance. He was already drunk and had no time to care about me anymore.

Poor, the so-called strong woman in the business world, when I got here, I had no way to turn passive into initiative. I saw this kind of situation for the first time in my life, had dinner with so many women for the first time, and felt the feeling of being indifferent for the first time...

When Xu Cheng's mother saw me looking at Xu Cheng from time to time, she held my hand with a smile and said: Daughter, don't worry about Ergouzi, he will drink very well just by making a small amount of alcohol. Just eat yours with confidence and eat more. You are so thin, you have to gain weight when you get here.

I forced a smile and sat straight, for fear of exploding my stomach pressure. I said: Auntie, I'm full, the dishes you cook are so delicious. Look, I've eaten so much.

After I praised this, Xu Cheng's mother became proud in an instant. She said: Daughter, your city people have a small stomach, and you will be full after eating so little. Ergouzi said that you also opened a company, and you are usually very tired, right? I heard from me that you are married, don't go out to work, just let Ergouzi make money alone. You can cook and wash clothes for him at home. Ergouzi earns enough money. As a woman, there is no need to work so hard. Do you think he is a daughter?

It turns out that Xu Cheng's machismo came about. He gave me a vaccination on the way to come. When he came to my house, you would do whatever my parents said. When you return to T City, you can fire at me anyway. But when you arrive in my hometown, you have to be a good wife and give me a face.

I promised it well at the time, but I found that I was completely optimistic about the situation. This was completely beyond my expectations, and it was even more exaggerated than those performed in the TV series of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. I could only respond and not talk much, because I really didn't know what to say, and I was afraid that if I was not used to it, I would just say a few swear words, which would scare the old man to faint.

Seeing that I was so obedient, the old lady was even more proud. Her smug eyes glanced at the whole table, as if she was saying, "Did you see, my prospective daughter-in-law listen to me very much."

Suddenly, the group of women began to praise them, using their dialect to say that the old lady is blessed, Xu Cheng is capable, his wife is capable, his life is good, etc. In fact, the dialect they have is not difficult to understand. After all, they are close to Beijing, and they are almost the same as Mandarin, but they have changed their tone, so I can basically understand the dialect of my mother speaking to me.

I looked at the group of women who were talking, and then looked at Xu Cheng who was drinking higher and higher. I knew I could only fight alone. Well, I drank a sip of water silently, and then forced myself to eat something from the bowl. The meal was so long. When everyone left the table, I ran out of the yard with relief and breathed a sigh of relief.

I sent a text message to Xu Cheng and said: Dear, find a chance to come out quickly.

After sending it, in order to prevent me from being pulled in again, I quickly found a corner to hide myself slightly. As a result, a dog suddenly jumped out from somewhere and barked at me, which instantly scared me to death and ran away without any chance.

The dog was still chasing him. I suddenly bumped into Xu Cheng's arms. Xu Cheng stopped me behind him. The dog turned around and left when he saw Xu Cheng. It was very strange. Could it be that the dog could still smell who is the person here?

The smell of alcohol in his body was swaying and almost fell down. I helped him and said: Husband, why do you drink so much?

He leaned his head on my shoulder and said: The wine in my hometown is very strong, brothers toast me one by one, I have no choice but to drink it.

I frowned and said: I didn’t expect that dealing with your family is more tiring than dealing with business, and my stomach is about to explode.

He slowly pushed me to the edge of the wall, then touched my stomach and said: It's really, round. Wife, did you find that everyone in my family likes you very much?

I glared at him, pouted and said: It's so kind, I can't stand it.

He looked at me with a smile, and his face turned red after drinking, and his body smelled of alcohol. He pressed it down hard, then pried my chin and started kissing me. I hurriedly avoided it, and I said: When your family sees it later, it's true. Dear, you have drunk too much.

He gently blew in my ear and said: I am happy today, I dreamed that I would bring you back and turn you into the wife of the Xu family. Now that it has come true, I am very happy.

I found that after returning to my hometown, Xu Cheng changed. At this moment, he was not like the powerful businessman. He was clearly a prodigal son who had been away all year round. One day he took his wife home and showed it to all the people in his hometown. That kind of simple pride touched me very much.

He kissed my lips regardless of scruples, and stubbornly poked his tongue in, and his hands firmly encircled me in this small world. He said: Wife, it feels great to take you home.

I wrapped my hands around his waist and said: Well... I am your woman, hurry up, let's go in, they should come out to find it later.

He reluctantly let go of me, then took my hand and turned around together. As a result... a row of small spots of different heights stood at the gate, staring at us with a smile with joy on his face.

My face suddenly became so hot that it couldn't be hot anymore! Xu Cheng looked at this scene with laughter and cry, then pointed to the biggest one and said: Shi Tou is obedient, bring his younger brother and sister in.

As a result, the group of children ran in and shouted: Wow, we saw uncle and aunt kissing!
