Chapter 26: Carrying a thorn and apologizing

When I heard that there were "meat swallows" to eat, my saliva was almost flowing down. Meat swallows are a unique snack in Fujian, a bit similar to the "wondun" in the north. The difference is the skin of the bread outside. The skin of the meat swallows is refined with fine meat and starch and other auxiliary ingredients. It looks like paper, white, smooth and fine, and exudes the aroma of meat. It has a bird's nest flavor when eating, which is very refreshing.

In my memory, I have loved this kind of food since I was a child. At that time, my family was not very good. Sometimes when I was sick and didn’t want to eat, my grandfather would take me to the street to the snack bar to ask for a bowl of meat swallows. No matter how unappetizing I was, as long as I smelled the fragrance of meat swallows, I couldn’t help but move my index fingers. When I was young, I actually felt like the New Year when I was eating meat swallows.

It has been a long time since I ate meat swallows, so when I heard that there were meat swallows, I hurried to the kitchen to wash my hands. After a while, our whole family sat at the dining table. My mother first served Xiaoying a bowl of meat swallows. Xiaoying quickly stood up and said:

"Thank you aunt!"

Mom smiled and said, "Sit down quickly, it's the same as your own home here, don't be polite!"

Then she served another bowl and was about to hand it to me, and I said:

"Give it to my dad! He runs outside every day, it's very hard, I'll just give it myself..."

Dad laughed and said, "I'm still sensible!"

My mother gave him a blank look, handed him the bowl, then served me a bowl, and finally made a bowl for myself. Looking at the crystal clear meat swallow in the bowl, I couldn't help but exclaim in my heart, and then carefully scooped one with a spoon and put it into my mouth, and took it lightly. It was so fragrant! I ate it in big mouthfuls, and immediately scooped up another one and put it into my mouth.

When my mother saw my greedy image, she couldn't help but say:

"Eat slowly! It's very hot..."

I said in a slight manner while eating:

"It's delicious! I haven't tasted such a delicious thing for a long time. When I was a kid, I didn't have any meals, so I didn't have to eat!"

I glanced at Xiaoying and said:

"Silly girl, eat quickly! Don't be polite!"

Mom also said, "Yes! Xiaoying, are you not used to our food?"

Xiaoying hurriedly said, "No! No! Auntie made it very delicious..."

The family had a happy lunch and sat in the living room for a while. My parents went to have lunch break. I smiled and said to Xiaoying:

"Silly girl, I didn't lie to you, are you! My parents are very easy-going, and it can be seen that they all like you very much!"

Xiaoying asked happily: "Really? I'm so stupid. Uncle and aunt may be laughing at me in the room!"

I smiled and said, "It is your simple personality that is the most friendly one, which makes people like you involuntarily. Haha, I fell in love with you so much that I love you now... "

Xiaoying gave me a coquettish look and said, "The bad guy is starting to be slick again..."

I laughed and said, "Come on, Xiaoying, I'll take you to my room and have a look! You'll sleep in my room tonight!"

I led Xiaoying to my room. As soon as I entered the door, Xiaoying exclaimed:

"Wow! Changfeng, your room is so beautiful!"

As soon as I looked up, I saw another beautiful computer on the table. My parents must have seen me take away my laptop and bought another one. I knew that they were almost computer-blind. It was useless for them to buy computers. I have not been at home for many years, but my parents still equipped my room with computers, maybe because they were worried that I didn’t bring a computer when I came home! Their care for me was really meticulous!

I said, "These are all the decorations that my parents do, and all the materials are the best. Haha, they are the only son, and they are so precious!"

Xiaoying smiled and said, "I can see..."

Xiaoying lay comfortably on the soft big bed and said to me with a smile:

"Bad guy, go outside and sleep on the sofa! I'm going to take a nap..."

I chuckled and jumped onto the bed, hugged her, Xiaoying screamed in surprise and said:

"Bad Changfeng, what do you want to do?"

I smiled and said, "What do you say!"

After saying that, I turned over and pressed her down, and my hands began to wander around her restlessly. Xiaoying obviously couldn't stand the teasing, and she said with a shortness of breath after a while:

"Changfeng... Stop making trouble... Uncle and aunt are still next door..."

How could I not "make a fuss" at this time? I kissed her lips without saying a word, and at the same time, my hands kept rubbing her smooth skin. Although it was not the first time, Xiaoying soon became moved. She began to kiss me on her own initiative, hugging me tightly with both hands, responding to me warmly. For a moment, my bedroom was suddenly filled with Xiaoying's deliberately suppressed moans and my heavy breathing sound...

After the passion, we lay comfortably on the soft big bed. Xiaoying hugged me tightly, buried her face in my chest, and asked in a low voice:

"Changfeng, what should I do if my father is still angry with me?"

I gently stroked her smooth back and said half-jokingly:

"If they really don't want you, come to my house to live. Anyway, my parents like you very much. Starting today, I will support you..."

Xiaoying said anxiously: "If they are serious, don't joke!"

I also said seriously: "Xiaoying, don't worry too much. You are their biological daughter. How could your father be so cruel? I know you have never disobeyed parents' words since you were a child, so they must be very angry this time, but when you go home in two days, you will have a better attitude towards admitting your mistakes. Your father should not do anything to you anymore. I think he must be very worried about you now, but it is difficult to take back your harsh words. Then you can give him a step down."

Xiaoying nodded silently. I stood up gently, put on my clothes, and said:

"Good Xiaoying, just have a good rest and don't think too much..."

Xiaoying nodded and asked, "Where are you going?"

I smiled and said, "I won't go anywhere, I'll just watch you here, go to bed quickly! Be good!"

Xiaoying closed her eyes obediently, and I sat by the bed, quietly looking at Xiaoying's beautiful face. This is a kind, sentimental girl, a girl worthy of my love for the rest of my life. She put all her thoughts on me, happy because of my joy and sad because of my sorrow. Now she is facing difficulties and wandering between family and love. No matter what her final choice, I have to support her. I have always believed that loving a girl is to make her happy, not to have her. What's more, after I return to this era, all the situations are very different. I now have the confidence to give Xiaoying happiness. Of course, the premise is that I must ensure safety. If I get serious injuries, amnesia, etc., what Xiaoying has to do every day is to worry about me, so what else can I talk about happiness!

Two days passed quickly, and my parents didn't ask why Xiaoying's family came to us in Fuzhou. They were very enthusiastic about her every day and really treated her as their daughter-in-law. After lunch, Xiaoying and I returned to my room. With my encouraging eyes, Xiaoying called the home...

"Hey...Mom!"

My heart was relieved by half, but fortunately her mother answered the phone, otherwise it would have been a lot of trouble. I continued to listen to Xiaoying talking on the phone.

"Mom... How is Dad's health... Oh, that's good, that's good... I want to come home today... Oh... Well, okay, then goodbye Mom!"

As soon as the phone hung up, I couldn't wait to ask:

"How is it, what's your mother saying?"

Xiaoying said: "She said that her father did not agree to me go home...but she did not object, she just sat at home with a cold face..."

I smiled and said, "If you don't object, there is hope. I'll go back with you..."

Xiaoying nodded, we walked out of the room, and my parents and I said:

"Dad, mom! I'll send Xiaoying back!"

Xiaoying also said, "Uncle and Auntie, I have disturbed you these two days..."

Dad smiled and said, "How could it be? We can't be happy if you can come, right? Wife?"

Mom nodded and agreed, asking, "Why don't you play for a few more days before leaving?"

I smiled and said, "She has something to do! Come again in the future! I'll send her home first, maybe I'll come back a little later!"

After saying that, I led Xiaoying out of the house and arrived on the street. We ran directly to Xiaoying's house. After getting off the car, I strode to the door and rang the doorbell. This time the door opened without waiting for a long time. It was Xiaoying's mother, I said:

"Auntie, we're here..."

The aunt glanced at me and said, "You don't go up! I'm afraid that Xiaoying's father would get even more angry when he saw you!"

I couldn't smile bitterly, but I said firmly:

"No, aunt, this incident is entirely caused by me. I can't let Xiaoying be wronged. If the uncle wants to beat or scold him, let him come to me!"

"Why will I beat you and scold you? You are not my son!"

While talking, Xiaoying's father actually walked out. When the aunt saw her uncle coming down, she hurriedly said:

"Why are you coming down? It's windy outside and you're in bad health. Go back quickly!"

The uncle ignored the aunt and just asked, "Has Xiaoying been back for several days? You didn't tell me!"

The aunt stammered for a moment, but did not answer. Xiaoying saw the uncle who had lost a lot of weight, her eyes turned red and she said with a sob:

"Dad! I'm back...How are you in good health?"

The uncle glanced at her and said, "Xiaoying comes in! I have something to say at home!"

After saying that, I turned around and walked upstairs. I hurriedly followed me. My uncle turned around and said:

"I didn't ask you to come in!"

I took two steps forward and said sincerely: "Uncle, Xiaoying ran away from home is entirely because of me. If you want to blame me, blame me! I was seriously injured at that time, and I don't know that Xiaoying left the house with anger, otherwise I would have called her back long ago..."

The uncle stopped and turned around and said:

"I don't blame you for this matter, but I will not agree to Xiaoying being with you anymore."

I looked at him in confusion, and the uncle continued:

"Last time you came to my house, you said you had the confidence to give Xiaoying happiness, but what about the actual situation? You can only show off your courage! You hurt yourself like that. Think about it, how can I entrust my daughter to him if I can't even take good care of myself? How can I feel at ease to let him take care of my daughter? Also, you said you would go back to Fuzhou to work, and you were indeed assigned to me when you graduate, but a few days later, everyone ran away! Then it disappeared for more than a month! What kind of hero did you become?

!And you said you bought a house in Fuzhou. What about the house now? I don’t ask my future son-in-law to be so rich and promising, but at least he must be able to give my daughter happiness. This is the most basic thing! In my opinion, you can’t do it, so while there is nothing happening between you and Xiaoying, you should leave our Xiaoying! Xiaoying only needs someone who can take good care of her, not a hero! If it weren’t for your existence, Xiaoying would have lived a happy life!”

Xiaoying's tears suddenly flowed out, and she whispered:

"Dad... Changfeng he..."

The uncle interrupted her ruthlessly and said:

"Don't say anything! I have decided on this matter. Now you choose yourself. Do you want this family or Lu Changfeng? I won't interfere with you!"

Xiaoying looked at her mother helplessly. The aunt seemed to dare not disobey her uncle's words. She just sighed and didn't say anything. I really couldn't imagine that I was worried about Xiaoying, but now it's my business. The uncle seemed to have expected that I would come, and had already thought about it. He was determined not to let Xiaoying continue dating me. Now he threw this problem to Xiaoying. I was really worried that her spirit would not be able to stand it. Let her choose one on both sides. What a cruel thing! No matter who she gave up, she couldn't accept it. I knew Xiaoying was in a very difficult situation, so I thought about it and said:

"Uncle, don't make things difficult for Xiaoying. She is your daughter. You know her personality best. If you let her choose at this time, she will be driven crazy! Please listen to me and say a few words?"

Uncle looked at me without objection. I saw that he had no intention of objection, so he continued:

"Uncle, I admit that this injury made Xiaoying worry. This is not good for me, but there is a reason behind this injury. It is not convenient for me to explain it specifically, because I am a soldier! I have my discipline. In fact, things are not complicated. As long as I have a heart that deeply loves Xiaoying, other things such as stable work in Fuzhou, self-safety, and the house problems you mentioned are very easy to solve. As long as I am willing to live this kind of life, I can do everything you said tomorrow!"

Hearing my confident words, my uncle looked at me suspiciously, his tone slightly eased, and he said:

"Changfeng, I believe you are sincere to Xiaoying, and your family is also good. Xiaoying should not suffer any grievances if she marrys you, but I am not the one that I care about the most. The biggest reason why Xiaoying continues to interact with you is that your army's work is very unstable. Even if you arrive in Fuzhou, you may have to leave one day with a transfer order. The most important reason is safety issues. It was after you were injured this time that I decided not to let you continue to interact with Xiaoying! If you can't guarantee your safety, how could you be happy to give Xiaoying?"

I said seriously: "Uncle, I just said that as long as I am willing, you can meet your requirements immediately, including the safety issues you mentioned!"

The uncle stared at me and asked, "Why are you so sure?"

I said, "Uncle, I can't tell you the specific reason, but I can guarantee you! If you believe me, please give me a chance to prove that within one month, I will definitely return to Fuzhou to work and buy a good house. And I will never be injured like the last time... Xiaoying and I are sincerely good to each other. It is not easy for us to be together. I hope my uncle can help us!"
