While playing with my sister-in-law, the sound of a man and a woman chatting came from outside the door. The doors of this old residential building are not soundproof, and the sounds outside the door can be clearly heard inside, as well as inside and outside the door. Can hear.
"Sister, my parents are back."
Chu Yu put down the exercise books and looked at the closed door. I immediately became nervous. I really wanted to see him. I met Chu Yue’s parents and wanted to talk to them, but I was afraid, afraid of her parents’ attention, afraid of not being accepted by them. After all, I am an unemployed vagrant now, with no job, no house or car, so I just rashly followed They chatted about what to do if these topics were brought up.
I sat quietly on the sofa. Chu Yue leaned towards me. She stretched out her hand and held mine, interlocking her fingers. She comforted me softly and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. I am your strong backing, they will not make things difficult for you, believe me."
Chu Yue looked at me firmly. When I looked into her eyes, the tension in my heart relaxed a lot. , her hands were very warm, and I nodded. At this time, the door was not opened, but there was a sound.
"Old man, did you say that Chu Yue came to the house in advance?"
"Just come. What are you worried about? Could it be that you are worried about her boyfriend?" "Friends?"
"Well, he came all the way from Shanghai to Suzhou. I heard that he quit his job specifically to come here because of Chu Yue. The food we bought was normal. He was in Shanghai. After living in Shanghai for two years, I am probably used to eating delicious food in Shanghai. Do you think he can appreciate our food?"
"Hey, just worry about it, those rich people actually don't like it?" They like to eat the home-cooked food of our people. Their appetites are not that sophisticated. They like this kind of food with the warmth of family and the smell of fireworks."
"Oh, I'm just worried, if it happens. What should I do if it's not to his liking? Should I go back to Shantang Street to buy some snacks? "
"Hey, you don't understand, I can't tell you, you just have short hair and short knowledge."
p>
"Why am I short-sighted? I'm just worried. He is accompanying Chu Yue to endure hardships. How wronged Chu Yue was in Shanghai? When she came back, she looked depressed and lifeless. She looked at him all day long. Looking in the direction of Shanghai, this time she came back and brought back her boyfriend. He is probably the person she misses all day long. I also have to take care of his needs."
"Hey, there's this. "Why don't you care about your daughter? You know that you drink and play cards all day long, and you don't even care about your two daughters when you come back from work. Xiaoyu's studies are among the best in the class, and the principal even comes here in person. The class praised her, and I only found out about it after attending the parent-teacher meeting."
"Oh, you have to pay attention to it, don't regress, and buy her some exercise books."
Sitting on the sofa, Chu Yue and I set our eyes on Chu Yu and snickered. Now Chu Yu could not resist the sadness of writing an exercise book. Chu Yu looked helplessly in his hands.exercise book, and then rolled his eyes at us who were snickering.
I looked at Chu Yue who was snickering, and she actually cried for me behind my back. When I heard the conversation between my uncle and aunt, I realized that I had already imagined how Chu Yue was at that time. Sadness, so reluctant to give up, so unwilling to give up, in contrast to her current laughter.
It was me who hurt her and made her feel wronged. It was my lack of choice that made her leave Shanghai and return to Suzhou alone. She noticed my gaze and regained her previous expression. He asked: "Why are you looking at me? Is there something dirty on my face?"
I smiled and said, "There is no dirt on my face. I just think you look good and you have such a bright smile." "
Chu Yue's face turned red for a moment. She looked away and said shyly: "Where is it..."
I slowly closed it. Eyes, I kissed her. This is what I owe her, and I want to make up for it all. She was stunned for a moment, and then obeyed. At this moment, with a "click", the key turned and the door that was isolated from the world opened. The desolation outside is isolated from the warmth here, forming two completely different worlds.
"Mom and Dad, do these shoes look good on me?"
Chu Yu greeted him with a smile. The aunt looked at Chu Yu bouncing in front of her and moved towards the shoes on her feet. Looking at the new pair of shoes, I couldn't help but sigh: "Oh Xiaoyu, these shoes are so beautiful and they suit you very well. Alas, where did you get the new shoes?"
Auntie looked at Chu in confusion. Regarding Yu's new shoes, Chu Yu happily replied: "My brother-in-law brought them to me as a meeting gift. There are many gifts on the sofa, as well as cigarettes and wine for Dad, as well as Mom's necklace and bracelets." "
After saying that, Chu Yu stretched out her hand and pointed at us kissing on the sofa. She just turned around and said, "There..."
My uncle and aunt looked in the direction she pointed and saw a shocking scene. My aunt couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands. She was very shocked. Chu Yu coughed a few times, feeling very embarrassed. She avoided her eyes. When she heard the sound, Chu Yue and I After we separated, we saw the three people standing at the door, and our faces suddenly turned red. We were immersed in our own world just now, and the outside world couldn't interfere.
I didn’t realize that my uncle and aunt had come in and let them see this embarrassing scene. I was speechless and sat on the sofa, lowering my head slightly and looking away. On the other hand, it was Chu Yue, She was very calm and looked directly at the three of them.
"It's normal for young couples to fall in love. Don't stop just because we've arrived. You go about your business while I cook."
The uncle said with a smile. I took the plastic bag with vegetables in my hand and walked quickly to the kitchen. I looked at Chu Yue and signaled her what to do next. She held my hand, led me to stand up, and came to my aunt, "Mom, this is My boyfriend, Yan Xiangyang, just call him Xiangyang."
Chu Yue introduced me, I bowed politely and said kindly: "Hello, aunt, I will take you to sit on the sofa.Sit down and I'll wash the apples for you. "
"Oh, no need to bother, I can do it myself. You are a guest, how can you ask the guest to help? You and Chu Yue just sit on the sofa, chat and watch TV, and I'll go cook something for you with your uncle. "
My aunt declined my kindness and trotted towards the kitchen. During the short journey, she kept covering her mouth and snickering. After entering the kitchen, she got busy and whispered to her uncle next to her from time to time.

"Brother-in-law, you are so bold, you just left my sight and kissed me for a few seconds, awesome. Force it.
Chu Yue gave us a thumbs up and walked to the sofa, "Chu Yue, do you think my uncle and aunt accept me?" "
I asked Chu Yue beside me worriedly, looking at the backs of the two people working in the kitchen, feeling uneasy. Chu Yue held my hand and replied firmly: "I definitely accept it. , they have never smiled like this usually, they must be very satisfied with you. "
Chu Yue smiled at me and pulled me back to the sofa. Chu Yu had already picked up the TV remote control, turned on the TV, and started searching for the animation he wanted to see. I looked at the table As a gift, I picked up a bottle of Yanghehaizhilan wine that Chu Yue bought. It cost nearly two hundred dollars a bottle. It was very expensive. It was specially selected by Chu Yue and it was also my uncle’s favorite drink.
The uncle was wearing a brown shirt, black baggy trousers, and a pair of reflective leather shoes. His hair was a typical three-quarter length, but there was some white hair on the temples. The aunt was wearing a colorful dress, and her hair was Very long.
I kept watching their backs while working in the kitchen. They were talking and laughing, and the smell of rice came, which was very tempting. Chu Yu, this little girl, Chu Yu ran in secretly, took a few pieces of vegetables on the table with his hands, and ate them secretly. When his aunt discovered him, Chu Yu ran out in embarrassment. Behind him came his aunt's accusation, "This girl, can you be more civilized?" , there are guests at home, pay attention to your behavior, be a gentle lady, what did the teacher teach you at school? ”
Chu Yu sat back on the sofa again with a nonchalant look on his face, and his aunt didn’t criticize her anymore. It’s very warm here, warmer than my rental house, and it feels like home. Looking at Chu Yu’s expression, I can’t help but recall that when I was a child, I would eat vegetables secretly with my hands and be scolded by my parents, just like Chu Yu.
I felt very lonely in Shanghai and came home after a busy day. I cook, wash clothes, and sleep by myself. I am very tired. In the end, I fall asleep alone without company. It is different here. In Suzhou, I experience the warmth of being in a foreign place. I am very nostalgic, as if I have returned to my own home.
I started to miss my hometown, and I don’t know when I can go back. I want to accompany my parents and eat their cooking. I can only choose a holiday to go back to visit them and give them a surprise. I won’t report it when I go back. Let’s take a look. How did they feel when they suddenly saw me?
Auntie walked out.In the kitchen, I urged us to eat. I held Chu Yue’s hand, followed by Chu Yu, and came to the kitchen. There were five pairs of bowls and chopsticks on the dining table. My uncle spooned the rice for us one by one. “Wow, it’s so rich. There's also sweet and sour fish."
Chu Yue sat down, picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and started eating, then smiled, "It's delicious, come on, Xiangyang, you can eat a piece of fish too, sweet. It’s sour and tender.”
After that, Chu Yue put a large piece of fish into my bowl, and poured a layer of the accompanying sweet and sour sauce on my rice. Delicious, my aunt looked at us with a smile and said with a smile: "Xiang Yang, don't mind, come here as if it were your own home, eat freely, eat freely, eat whatever you want, don't mind, don't be restrained "
I nodded to my aunt, took a bite of fish and a few mouthfuls of rice. There were very few fish bones, basically none. My uncle took out a bottle of Yanghehaizhilan wine from under the table and opened it. He took off the seal, looked at me and said, "Xiang Yang, do you drink? Have a glass?"
I stood up respectfully, then held up the glass at hand, and my uncle poured me a full glass. I said thank you and took it back carefully. Chu Yue looked at me worriedly and said softly: "Drink less and don't be greedy. Drinking will damage your liver and make you drunk easily."
I nodded and took a sip. I took a sip of wine. The alcohol content was over 50 degrees, which was better than beer. My uncle raised his glass and said happily, "Here, let's make a toast."
I raised my glass and clinked it with him. I deliberately lowered the mouth of the cup for a few seconds, and my uncle smiled happily. During the dinner, my uncle, aunt, and Chu Yue kept picking up food for me. I almost never picked up food. The only time I helped Chu Yu pick up a piece of tofu was because The tofu she had picked up was either broken or only half of it. I gave her a whole piece.
After dinner, Chu Yue and her aunt were cleaning up the meal, and I was taken to the balcony by my uncle. I lay on the guardrail and looked at the night view of Suzhou. He took out a pack of Su cigarettes from his pocket. I took one in my mouth and gave one to me. Faced with my uncle's kindness, I couldn't refuse. Even if I started to quit smoking, I couldn't help but touch a little more. I lit the cigarette.
Looking at the night scene, there are no high-rise buildings with luxuriant wealth, no need for desire, there is only the desire for life, and book friends who support their ideals by the moat, Shantang Street is for those who want to witness the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River. Built for travelers with a sense of style, I really like these first-, second- and third-tier cities. They are full of fireworks and homes everywhere.
"Xiang Yang, this is my eldest daughter Chu Yue. She is my darling. I don't trust her when I hand her over to you. I want to see you act responsibly towards her. Even if you are Coming from Shanghai, you are used to the life there, but when you come to Suzhou, you have to act like an ordinary person."
My uncle said to me seriously, his eyes flashing neon in the distance. At the Gate of the East, I said slowly: "I will be responsible for her. In Shanghai, she accompanied me through the troughs, she accompanied me to endure hardships, and she witnessed medecadence, witnessed my corruption, but did not leave me or abandon me because of this, always by my side, no matter the wind and rain, he always encouraged me to move forward. I have no reason not to choose her, not to choose a woman who loves me so much. . ”
I put out the cigarette, and my mouth was a little bitter. I had just drunk a little too much, and I couldn’t walk. My uncle kept drinking me, in order to get me drunk and make me tell the truth in my heart. He said, "I won't ask you for a house or a car. I want my daughter to marry a good man. No bride price is required. The house in Chuyue will be used as a dowry. I have a car in my name, a Toyota Camry, which can also be used as a dowry." I only want my daughter to live a better life. I am not a good father. I spent very little time with her when she was a child, so she relied on myself. When she was in school, she had excellent grades. Other children with the same ranking had parents. I didn’t give her any rewards. During her coming-of-age ceremony, her parents took her on trips, but she played with Xiaoyu at home. "
Uncle said in a mature voice. I still nodded and turned to look inside the house. Chu Yue was standing at the door, looking at me worriedly. I knew she was worried about me. She was afraid. My father gave me a hard time, so I smiled at her and told her not to worry about me, I was fine.
"I know how to take care of her, uncle, I will make her happy, I will make her happy." To be the happiest woman in the world, since she chose to be with me, I will not let her be wronged. I quit my high-paying job in Shanghai for her and returned to Suzhou with her. This is my proof that I love her. Proof that in the face of interests, I choose love. "
I responded seriously, and my uncle nodded. He smoked slowly, and the cigarette was only half-burned. "Okay, let's just talk about this. At the dinner table, you had a good drinking capacity. I almost couldn't grasp it, otherwise I would have failed. "
My uncle chuckled, and I suddenly remembered something, so I asked: "Uncle, don't you like to drink the blue of Yanghehaihai? I bought you a few bottles of Ocean Blue, and a few cigarettes. I put them on the table in the living room. Why don't you go and take a look? "
When he heard about cigarettes and wine, my uncle immediately put out the cigarette in his hand and looked at me doubtfully, "Really? "
I nodded. He smiled happily and hurried back to the living room. He picked up a bottle of Ocean Blue and a piece of Suyan and looked at it. Chu Yue gave her aunt the bracelet and necklace she bought. Take it with you, Chu Yu eats QQ candy and watches the animation with relish. The whole family is warm and harmonious, and I can see it all.
Maybe I have found it, found the ideal in my heart, and protected it. Chu Yue, let her live happily.
I took out a lollipop from my pocket, opened the package and put it in my mouth, murmuring to myself: " Candy is still delicious, sweet and heart-warming..."
The world is a big place and there are many inns. It is not as good as traveling alone in a foreign land and encountering another kind of warmth.
