Sweetness

Xu Qingning didn't intend to confront the old man about the marriage contract. After careful consideration, she sent a message to the three-person group at home.

Big sour: "Your daughter who just finished the college entrance examination is going to get married."

Chai Peiyun: "What happened baby?"

Xu Canyan: "What's wrong with you?"

Xu Qingning snorted coldly, and typed angrily: "Ask grandpa, the fiancee has come to the door, and the wedding is estimated to be held in two days."

As if she thought it was not enough, she added another sentence: "Mom, congratulations, two people will be able to call your mother soon."

"..."

So early the next morning, Xu Canyan and Chai Peiyun and his wife came to Mr. Xu's study.

"Dad, about the marriage..." Chai Peiyun was anxious, seeing the old man's face and hesitated: "She didn't make it clear, what's the matter with marriage?"

"Literally." Xu Yushuo took a sip of tea and looked at them calmly.

"That's Dad, you recently found a marriage for Suanyou?" Chai Peiyun asked tentatively.

Seeing the old man's calm expression, Xu Canyan thought of something: "Dad, is it your old comrade-in-arms who came here?"

Grandpa Xu laughed angrily, and sipped the tea in his hand on the solid wood tabletop: "How can you put it so wickedly, it's his granddaughter. I remember that you two also agreed to this marriage before?"

At the mention, Chai Peiyun also remembered.

At that time, she had only entered Xu's house not long ago. Perhaps it was because of her personality that she didn't like the old man very much. Fortunately, she was upbeat and soon became pregnant.

When the child was two or three years old, an elderly woman suddenly came to the house, also holding a child in her arms.

She was curious, and asked Xu Canyan, only to find out that it was the wife of her father-in-law's old comrade-in-arms. The comrade-in-arms had saved the old man's life on the battlefield, so the old man respected this family very much, and had a faint intention to marry the two children.

Chai Peiyun was very unhappy at the time, but the old man's decision was never objected to, and she vaguely heard that the woman was going to take the child back to the countryside to live in seclusion. She thought in her heart that when the two children grew up, the matter would be gone , and then reluctantly agreed.

But she didn't expect that after more than ten years, that child really came to her door and wanted to marry her family.

Chai Peiyun almost couldn't stand upright, he barely supported Xu Canyan beside him, and couldn't help but say: "Dad, you are still so young, getting married...isn't it appropriate?"

"I didn't say to let the two children get married right now. The child just came here this time to ask for an answer, so you just nod in front of her to give her a reassurance."

Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, Chai Peiyun secretly pushed Xu Canyan in his hand, motioning him to talk, Xu Canyan calmly said after thinking deeply: "Dad, the marriage is about to be settled all of a sudden, with his sour personality, I'm afraid he won't agree."

"Isn't it because you spoiled the child?!" Xu Yushuo became angry when he mentioned this, and the mustache on his lips trembled: "The granddaughter of my comrade-in-arms is so well raised. Sour together, what can she not be satisfied with?"

"Yes, yes." Xu Canyan nodded hurriedly, and echoed: "I'm just afraid of being sour and wronged."

"It would be bad if this repayment turned into revenge." Xu Canyan raised it again.

These words obviously touched Grandpa Xu's heart. He fell into deep thought, staring at the ups and downs of tea in the cup, and didn't say a word for a long time.

**

It is rare for the Xu family to gather together today.

Everyone heard that the sour fiancée came to the door, and they came to Xu's house to see the girl. Even the eldest sister Xu Qingke, who was always busy, stopped her busy pace.

The old man of the Xu family has three sons and one daughter, and the son has a grandson. Now the whole family is full, and the whole long table is full.

Tian Tian sat on Grandpa Xu's right hand, being scrutinized like a rare animal in a zoo.

"Dad, this girl looks really juicy." The one who spoke was Xu Canqiong, the only daughter of Grandpa Xu. She was also spoiled and didn't have so many scruples. Wife."

"That's right, I like this girl right away, what's her name?" Xu Qingning's aunt said, and a group of people turned their attention back to Tian Tian.

"My name is Tian Tian." Xu was afraid of misunderstanding, Tian Tian explained: "It's Tian Ye's Tian."

"Ah! Coincidentally, isn't it? One is sour and the other is sweet. It seems that there is such a saying as a natural couple." After the second aunt drank, Tian Tian's explanation did not have the effect it should have at all.

Tian Tian was slightly embarrassed, and sat quietly beside Mr. Xu, and with Mr. Xu's protection, he said: "Okay, stop staring at the little girl when you've seen enough, is it because the food is not delicious enough or the food is not good enough?" eat?"

As soon as the old man spoke, those curious or probing eyes disappeared for a moment.

Grandpa Xu used the serving chopsticks to pick up a dish for her: "Come on, eat, Mrs. Xu's cooking is good, you should eat more."

"Thank you, Grandpa Xu."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Qingning, who had arrived late, sat beside Chai Peiyun and snorted.The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and it happened to be heard by Grandpa Xu.

"What are you humming so strangely?" Grandpa Xu raised his head, saw her big fiery red hair, his brows were so wrinkled that they could pinch mosquitoes to death, and he said in disgust, "Why did you mess with your hair? You dyed it red?"

In the entire Xu family, Xu Qingning was the only one who dared to quarrel with Xu Haoshuo: "You said you would leave me alone after the college entrance examination, so it has nothing to do with you if I dye my hair green."

"Yes, it has nothing to do with me." Grandpa Xu was not too angry, but only looked at the little girl beside him: "It's just a grievance."

Xu Qingning: "That's none of her business."

"Sour!" Chai Peiyun's eyes signaled her not to choke, but Xu Qingning was almost suffocated, her cheeks puffed up, and she didn't take it seriously: "It was originally, can't I make decisions about my hair?"

In the hall with a cold atmosphere, a soft voice rang out, dispelling the silence: "Red is pretty, I like it very much."

Everyone seemed to come to their senses, and persuaded the old man: "Dad, that's it, don't meddle in young people's affairs, as long as Tian Tian likes it, isn't it?"

Grandpa Xu also nodded after being persuaded: "Yes, as long as Tian Tian likes it."

Xu Qingning hummed thinking, like it?She's going to dye her hair green tomorrow.

Xu Qingning didn't want to go downstairs to eat because she was afraid that everyone would tease her or laugh at her. Unexpectedly, as soon as she took her seat, the topic turned back to the marriage contract.

"Dad, what do you think about such a sweet and sour marriage?"

"Yes, since the two children are still so young, it's inappropriate to get married, isn't it?"

"Should we get engaged first?"

You and I talked about the marriage contract. Xu Yushuo looked at Xu Qingning's parents and motioned for them to make a statement. Chai Peiyun took out the countermeasure discussed with Xu Canyan just now, and said, "Dad, can you see if this is okay?" , Sour will report to the university in one month, Tiantian and Sour are about the same age, why not arrange Tiantian to Sour's school and let them study for four years first?"

Xu Qingning frowned: "Why? I didn't go to an agricultural university." That girl knows how to grow vegetables to feed chickens, so what can she know.

Chai Peiyun told her to shut up.

Xu Yushuo obviously thought that his daughter-in-law's suggestion was good, and looked at the little girl beside him: "How do you feel about Tiantian?"

"I don't need to go to school. Grandma has already taught me from elementary school to university. I don't need to go to school."

"Oh?" Xu Yushuo knew Meng Yi's ability clearly, and knew that this was true, so he said with a smile, "It's okay not to go to school."

Someone was surprised: "Grandma taught?"

"Yes." When talking about grandma, Tian Tian is always proud, "Grandma is very powerful, so I don't have to go to school."

Seeing that the plan was going to fail, Chai Peiyun was afraid that the marriage would be settled in this way, so she said, "Dad, you see that the people who come from the Little Girl Mountain may not know their own level well. Why don't you go to school for a few years and get a diploma?"

Xu Yushuo frowned, and retorted: "No need."

"Actually, the mountains are not as backward as everyone thinks." Tian Tian's voice sounded at the dinner table, soft but unbelievable: "There is a TV at home, and my grandma and I also watch the news to know what changes have taken place in this society. There are also TV sets at the foot of the mountain. I can buy a lot of daily necessities in the city, and it’s not completely blocked. In terms of knowledge, maybe I don’t know my own level, but I trust grandma, and I think that knowledge is enough, and a diploma is not necessary.”

After she finished speaking, everyone was silent, especially Xu Qingning.She felt that these words were addressed to her, and the girl had the words 'the mountain is so good, you come back with me' written all over her face.

"How important is a diploma? Look at her little girl, are you people who have studied for a few years more ashamed?"

Tian Tian felt that Grandpa Xu was protecting her regardless of right and wrong, and hurriedly said: "It's still important. Because I plan to go back to live in the mountains, so it's not that important."

"Back to the mountains?" Chai Peiyun was stunned again when she heard this, and Xu Qingning quickly responded, complaining: "Yes, and she still wants to take me back to the mountains."

Her gaze focused on Tian Tian again, Tian Tian realized how unrealistic the idea of ​​her taking someone back to the mountain was, and said, "You can wait until Suan Suan has finished school. If she doesn't want to go back to the mountain then , and then discuss."

Xu Qingning said foolishly: "There's no need to discuss it. I can tell you right now, I won't go."

Tian Tian only thought that she was expressing her opinion, and nodded calmly: "Okay."

"?" I wanted to be rude.

"It's good in the mountains, but it's fresh in the city. Tiantian will stay here for a few more days, and take advantage of the sour summer vacation. Let's go out for a stroll together." The second aunt said to ease the atmosphere.

The words of Xu Qingning's refusal came to her lips, and she heard someone answer: "Maybe not, I plan to go back tomorrow."

"Go back tomorrow?"

"Well, there are still many things to be busy at home, I didn't want to stay for so long."

Xu Qingning was happy, but Chai Peiyun was about to die of worry.

According to the old man's opinion, the little girl will have an attitude when she comes here, and she plans to leave tomorrow, which means that the marriage between the two will be settled tomorrow?

Chai Peiyun's brains turned quickly, and she had already said: "Let's stay a few more days. Even if there is nothing to see in the city, then next Friday is Grandpa's birthday, Tiantian doesn't want to participate?"

Xu Qingning looked at her mother like a stranger——

Tian Tian looked at Grandpa Xu: "Is your birthday next Friday?"

"Yes. So do you want to stay for a few more days?" He asked her. The reason why he didn't mention it in the morning was because he didn't intend to use this matter to trip up the little girl.

Tian Tian hesitated for a while: "Then can I use your phone to call the neighbor's aunt?"

Xu Qingning choked: "Don't you have a mobile phone yourself?"

"I do not have."

"?" She was so calm?

So at the dining table, the whole family of the Xu family, a dozen or so people whose name would be famous outside, quietly listened to the little girl's entire phone call.

The content is nothing more than explaining that the chickens need to be fed, the vegetables need to be watered, and the cucumbers are ripe, so they can be picked.

"Okay." Tian Tian thanked her uncle who lent her the phone back.

The eldest aunt clapped her hands and praised: "That's a good relationship. It's just that Suan is fine for the summer vacation, and I can take Tiantian out for a walk."

Xu Qingning: "?"
