compulsory contract

Lu Xingyao returned to his hometown after a long absence.

After getting out of the airport and boarding the train, it was already 5 o'clock in the morning when we arrived at the station.He slept and woke up, woke up and slept again.Hearing the train wheels hitting the rails slowly, it seemed to go back to the night 10 years ago, when he left his hometown to go to college, it was also so early, and he was lying on the couch in the sleeper car, and he could see through the window. The coming lights flickered on and off.At that time, he knew nothing about the future, didn't know what would happen in the future, and didn't know the future fate. He just looked forward to the upcoming unknown with excitement.

And today, 10 years later, with a peaceful heart, he once again set foot on the road home.He has already seen his future path clearly. If there is no major change, he will follow this path until he dies and leaves this world.And this small mountain city, which is almost isolated from the world, brought him great comfort.If you don't think about the future, close your eyes and listen, you will be an ostrich.The hometown is a perfect destination, because there will always be someone waiting for him to come back here, and there is a warm home, even if sometimes his parents disagree with him, even if his parents sometimes don't understand him.But these absolutely can't stop his desire to hug them.

A warm home is what Lu Xingyao has had since the day he was born.He also always hoped that he could build a warm family.Only in this way can we resist the wind and snow of life.

Coming out of the train station, he hailed a taxi.When he was almost home, he found his elderly parents waiting for him in the 5 a.m. freezing wind.

Lu Xingyao's nose was sour, tears almost fell down.He hastily settled the bill, got out of the car door, and called out, "Mom! Dad!"

Only then did the two old men see him.As usual, Father Lu went to get his backpack first.

He refused to give it: "Dad, it's not heavy, you don't need to take it."

Lu's father was very stubborn: "Bring it, I'll get it for you."

Lu's mother smiled and said, "You let him carry it, he likes carrying bags the most."

Lu Xingyao also smiled, and took his mother's arm: "Mom, it's too cold, let's go home."

Mother Lu said, "Go, go home."

The three walked towards the building of the community, and no one mentioned his pregnancy.

When I got home, I looked at the house, and it was familiar and warm everywhere.Their family moved last year and moved to a larger house in the development zone. This house has better lighting and is more transparent. It has a huge balcony and grows all kinds of flowers and vegetables.Everywhere, every place, reveals the style of parents.He used to think that his parents' taste was old-fashioned, but now he realizes how precious it is to be able to live with his parents.

As soon as he got home, his parents were busy making breakfast for him.Parents are older, sleep less, wake up early, and usually start breakfast at 6-7 o'clock.Lu Xingyao took the bag to his room, and once again saw the desk that was obviously much shorter. It was the desk he used to study when he was a child. It was built by his father himself. In the photo frame under the desk lamp, there is a photo of him when he was in college.He picked up the photo frame and looked at his young self carefully. The person inside had been buried in the ruins of time, and now he was standing here, like an old father looking at a young and ignorant child.There are thousands of emotions in my heart.He whispered to Xiao Taozi in his belly: "Little Taozi, look, this is when your father was young, isn't he more handsome than your father?"

Xiao Taozi was probably still sleeping, so she ignored him.

Lu Xingyao smiled and put down the photo frame.Lu's mother's voice came from the kitchen: "Xingyao, take a bath first, and then eat!"

Lu Xingyao responded, and as soon as he returned home, a sense of comfort and freedom overflowed from every pore.He didn't even bother to reply to the messages Xu Yi sent him.

During the meal, his mother kept picking up vegetables for him: "Look at you, you've lost weight, eat more."

While eating, Lu Xingyao said, "Mom, I can get it. I'll do it myself. You can eat it too."

Although Lu's father didn't talk much, he kept paying close attention to him. He would fill another bowl for him when the bowl was empty, and change another dish for him when the food in front of him was gone.

The memory of being doted on revived again, and all the defenses on Lu Xingyao relaxed.He is no longer vigilant against all disturbances in the outside world,

After eating, Lu's father went into the study after eating, and Lu's mother explained: "He, what kind of project is he accepting now, the retiree is re-employed, and he is brought back to work. He is so busy with the country every day. *Like."

Lu Xingyao said: "This is a good thing. Dad has something to do, so he won't be too busy every day to panic."

Mother Lu said: "I want him to have something to do, but I don't want him to be so busy. Alas, what a contradiction! Go to bed, why are you standing here?"

Lu Xingyao scratched his hair, and said a little embarrassedly: "Mom, you really don't want to ask me...?"

"You have been traveling by plane and train, so you must have not slept well. If there is anything else, we will talk about it when you wake up. Anyway, there is no rush." ​​Lu's mother said, "Since everything is like this, there is nothing good about it. Asked."

Lu Xingyao's eyes became hot, and he hugged his mother's waist like when he was a child: "Mom, you are so kind~~"

Lu's mother said, "If I'm not good, how can you grow up so big?"

Lu Xingyao sniffed: "It's still growing well."

Mother Lu smiled and touched his head: "Of course, my son is the most handsome."

Lu Xingyao fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow, and slept soundly all morning. When he woke up, he heard his mother calling for lunch again, and his chest was filled with happiness.As soon as I put on the cotton pajamas and left the bedroom, I received a call from the courier, saying that two boxes had arrived.

Father Lu and Lu Xingyao went downstairs together and brought up two big boxes.

Mother Lu saw the two oversized boxes and asked, "Xingyao, why do you have to bring so many things home?"

Lu Xingyao unpacked and said, "I brought you a box of things, and the rest belong to me and...Xiao Taozi."

"Little Peach?"

Lu Xingyao pointed at his stomach embarrassingly.Mother Lu smiled, and stopped asking questions.

After the family had lunch, Lu Xingyao unpacked the suitcases, took out a lot of clothes bought by his parents, and introduced them one by one: "Didn't I not come back for the New Year a few years ago? I bought you gifts every year. Some were not sent in time, so I brought them all back this time.”

The most joyful thing about bringing gifts to parents is to introduce the origin of each gift, because the son is back, the parents are very happy, and the family tries on clothes, and they spend a day happily.

When the atmosphere became active, Mother Lu asked the question she cared most about: "Your partner, didn't come this time?"

"Subject?" Lu Xingyao was eating fruit and almost choked.If that guy Xu Yi knew this title, he wouldn't know how happy he would be.

"He's too busy with company affairs, filming... so I didn't let him come over."

"Then you..." Mother Lu's eyes fell on his stomach.

Lu Xingyao patted his belly in embarrassment: "It's been 7 months."

Lu's mother's expression suddenly became gentle, and she said to Lu's father: "Our grandson is about to be born."

When Lu Xingyao heard it, he knew that his mother had accepted Xiao Taozi.Mother is the head of the family, as long as mother agrees, father will have no objections.

Sure enough, Lu's father nodded: "Yes. When will you get married?"

Lu Xingyao shook the ring on his hand: "He proposed, but I didn't agree."

The two old men looked at each other, not knowing what tricks the young man was playing: "Why?"

Lu Xingyao smiled and said, "Wait for him to bring the dowry." In fact, he thought to himself that it seemed quite wise not to take off the ring and return it to Xu Yi.At least you can fool the elders.

Anyway, he is not in a hurry to get married now. Once the child is born, he will be able to register, and the government will keep his identity secret.In addition, you can enjoy free enrollment and free medical insurance, and the treatment should not be too good.His financial ability is also good, not to mention raising a small peach, it is no problem to raise a bunch of small peaches.

"You don't need the dowry, Xingyao, don't value material things so much." Lu's mother was anxious to "marry" him out.

"Mom, don't be in such a hurry! People are not in such a hurry to marry their daughter!" Lu Xingyao said half-jokingly.

Lu's mother smiled: "Isn't mother thinking of you? I want you to have a good home and a good person to rely on?"

Lu Xingyao smiled: "Mom, I know. I will handle this matter well, and I will definitely give you an explanation."

Mother Lu said: "The confession is not for us, but for you."

Lu Xingyao rested his head on his mother's shoulder: "Okay, Mom, I understand~~"

Lu Xingyao was exhausted from the journey, so he went to bed early. He had just laid down and was about to fall asleep when Lu's mother broke in and turned on the light in the room.

Lu Xingyao was stabbed by the light, and shrunk straight into the bed. Mother Lu grabbed her hand and handed him a small red cloth bag: "This was given by your grandmother when you were born, and it is passed down from generation to generation in our family. Now it is your turn."

Lu Xingyao opened the red cloth bag suspiciously, and inside was a string of small gold beads.

"When your grandmother was young, she liked gold and made a lot of good jewelry. This is one of her jewelry. It was given to you when you were born. You take it and pass it on to your son."

Lu Xingyao took the string of gold beads: "Mom, do you want me to leave this for Xiao Taozi?"

Lu's mother said: "Yes, this is Xiao Taozi's! Only when a newborn is born, it will come in handy."

Lu Xingyao put the golden bead on his wrist happily: "Okay, I'll take it for him."

Lu's mother nagged for a long time before leaving.Lu Xingyao thought he could finally sleep well, but unexpectedly, the phone beeped again, and a message came.

Picking up the phone, Xu Yi has already sent more than a dozen messages. The earliest one was at 6 o'clock in the morning, asking if he had arrived. There were several messages, but none of them were found. Until the last one, Xu Yi asked sadly: "Xingyao, are you going to ignore me for the rest of your life?"

As soon as Lu Xingyao was in a good mood, he replied to him: "Of course not, I am accepting the passing ceremony of the ancestral gold bracelet."

"What is an 'ancestral gold bracelet'?" Xu Yi replied in seconds.

"My grandmother passed it on to my mother, and my mother passed it on to me a small gold bead bracelet, specially for children."

"Your mother accepted Xiao Taozi?!" Xu Yi was surprised and delighted.

"What if I don't accept it? Anyway, I can't get an abortion."

"Do you still dare to have an abortion? I didn't say it. Even if I agreed, the country would not agree."

"Okay, okay, I'm almost sleepy, and Xiao Taozi should go to bed too... You should go to bed early too." Lu Xingyao threw the phone away, lay down under the quilt, and prepared to have a good night's sleep.

"Xingyao, wait for me, I'll find you right away." Xu Yi sent the last message, but Lu Xingyao didn't see it.He has fallen asleep.
