In the early morning, the sun had not yet risen from the horizon, and the mist had not yet dispersed, but the village in the valley was already bustling with activity. Chickens crowed, pigs snorted, dogs barked, and the voices of the people who got up early in the morning to carry water and the clanking of pots and ladles formed a simple and warm symphony of village life.
On the road outside Wudaokou Village, a large and burly pickup truck slowly drove over.
Yang Yi, who was in the driver's seat, felt even more nervous when he was close to home. Although he was still smiling and looking calm, his heart was beating like a drum. He was worried that he would be exposed!
Beside him sat Murphy, who was even more nervous!
Last night, Murphy did not sleep well in the car. When she woke up early in the morning, she knew that they were almost home. She asked Yang Yi to stop by the roadside for a while so that she could wash her face with mineral water. Then, she looked at the rearview mirror and tidied her hair and clothes for a while. If Yang Huan had not said that the old man at home did not like women to put on makeup, Murphy would probably have to dress up again.
But even though she was fully prepared, she still looked serious when they were about to arrive. Her hands tightly grasped the hem of her clothes, and she was so nervous that she was like a string that was about to break.
Yang Yi was afraid that she would be too nervous, so he arranged for Murphy to sit in the front passenger seat. Yang Huan sat in the back seat and took care of Xi Xi, who was still sleeping soundly. It was not time for the little girl to get up yet!
"Yes, it's right in front of us. We're almost there. Turn at the intersection and drive down. Brother, you should remember where our house is," Yang Huan reminded him.
"Yang Yi, why don't we wait for Xi Xi to wake up before we go there? She's still sleeping. Isn't it rude? "Murphy suddenly leaned over and said to Yang Yi with a frown.
It was just an excuse. Both Yang Yi and she knew it.
Yang Yi reached out and patted the back of her hand. Then, he smiled as he drove. "Don't be nervous. Look at you. Come, give me your hand and relax. Don't be afraid. My parents won't eat you. Just face them as usual. They'll like you. Trust me. "
"Really?" Murphy placed her hand in Yang Yi's big palm and asked in a weak voice. She sounded like she was wronged, and also like she was begging. She wanted to get Yang Yi's affirmation again and again … Actually, she was acting coquettishly.
"Really! Of course! "Yang Yi shook Murphy's hand and said with certainty.
In fact, he did not know, but at this moment, Yang Yi had to show confidence so that Murphy would not be so afraid.
Yang Huan stared at Yang Yi and Murphy holding hands, and couldn't help but shake her head secretly. She was a little overwhelmed by their love.
…
On the other side, in the Yang Family's courtyard, Yang Qing was waving a long thick knife and chopping firewood.
Behind him, Yang Chonggui was in a horse stance, punching out slowly. Although his movements were slow, each punch was like a dragon or a leopard, full of vigor.
"Chopping firewood, eyes, accurate, hands, steady, strength, ruthless! One chop, you can see the bottom. One chop, you can cut it in half. You can't just chop it in and smash it … "Yang Chonggui didn't even look at Yang Qing, but his voice echoed clearly in the courtyard.
Yang Qing couldn't help but turn around and explain helplessly, "Dad, I know what you're saying. But today's firewood is different. It's much harder."
"Do you want me to chop one for you? I, Yang Chonggui, have chopped firewood my whole life. I've never seen anything that I can't chop! "Yang Chonggui stared at him.
Yang Qing looked at Yang Chonggui's eyes and immediately cowered. He smiled bitterly and turned his head away, continuing to chop firewood.
"Diligence is the key to success. Your talent in martial arts isn't bad, but your tenacity is lacking. You have a bit of energy, but it's all in the field." Yang Chonggui snorted and said.
"It's easy for you to say that. If Qing doesn't farm, is our family going to eat the northwest wind?" Dong Yue`er walked out of the kitchen. She wasn't happy to hear him talk about her son like that.
Yang Chonggui did not say a word. He pretended that he did not hear anything and continued to practice his martial arts. Although his movements were slow, every punch was powerful and had some skill.
"Qing, help me catch the chicken from yesterday. I'm thinking that Huanhuan, Tiezi, and Tiezi's wife will be here soon. Let's starve the chicken for the morning and clear its stomach. We'll kill it at noon. "Dong Yue`er said.
"Okay!" Yang Qing quickly put the chopping knife aside, clapped his hands, and walked towards the oxcart where the chickens were lying.
"Di di!" Suddenly, a loud and clear sound of a car horn came from the courtyard entrance.
The door of the Yang Family's courtyard wasn't a grey-green closed iron door, but an iron gate that stretched as far as the eye could see. Therefore, the three of them turned around and saw a big car that they had never seen before parked in front of the gate.
What's going on?
Before they could think of the key point, Yang Yi had already gotten down from the driver's seat. Yang Huan also jumped down from the back seat.
Yang Yi was still thinking about how to greet them. Yang Huan was more lively. She grabbed the iron gate happily and shouted, "Dad, Mom, I'm back! Second Brother, quickly open the door and let Big Brother drive the car in. "
"Dad … Mom …" Yang Yi only called them twice in the end. In his memory, Yang Yi used to call them that too. Because of his personality, Yang Yi decided not to change too much.
Dong Yue`er reacted the fastest. She walked over with a smile and rushed to open the door.
At this moment, Murphy, who was in the front passenger seat, hesitated for a moment. Then, she unfastened her seat belt and opened the door. However, as soon as she got down from the car, the three people in the courtyard all looked at her.
Murphy froze. She was so nervous that she was about to suffocate.
She wasn't even this nervous when she went on stage for the first time when she was little!
Fortunately, Murphy's mind didn't go blank. She still remembered to be polite. She sincerely bowed to the front and said in a low voice, "Uncle, auntie, nice to meet you …"
Actually, she should have called them uncle. Yang Chonggui was obviously older than her father … However, Murphy didn't think so much. She was so nervous that she could only say what was in her mind.
The first impression was very important. Dong Yue`e had a good impression of this "eldest daughter" at first sight. She was pretty and tall, with a good figure and a curvy figure. Even though she was wearing a winter coat, Dong Yue`e's judgment was very accurate! And she took the initiative to greet them. Although she looked a little shy, who wouldn't be shy when visiting a family for the first time?
"Well, well, this is the one Qing mentioned …" Dong Yue`er wanted to put on the airs of a mother-in-law, but she couldn't. She opened the gate with a smile and said.
How should I address her?
Yang Yi went around, reached out and took Murphy's hand. He squeezed it gently to calm Murphy down.
"Mom, this is Murphy, my wife. This is our mom and dad. This is my brother, Yang Yi. I introduced them to you before. "Yang Yi smiled and said," And, you should change the way you address them. Don't call them uncle and auntie. Call them mom and dad! "
Dong Yue`er was stunned when she heard this.
Wife? Call them mom and dad? What stage are they at now?
Could it be that her words really came true? They got married in private?
Yang Chonggui just walked over. He heard Yang Yi's words and his eyes widened.
Yang Qing felt his father's imposing manner. He stopped and shrank back, pretending to help open the gate and avoid the battle.
Murphy didn't notice that she was flustered by Yang Yi calling her "my wife". She was happy and shy, so she was even more obedient. She bowed slightly again and whispered like Yang Yi, "Mom … Dad …"
Yang Chonggui frowned and wanted to say something, but Dong Yue`er took the initiative and didn't give him a chance to speak.
"Don't stand at the gate. You're home. You'll be laughed at if you stand outside. Come in quickly. Tiezi, look at you. You didn't say anything, but you drove a car and even brought a big girl home. It's a good thing to have a happy event in pairs! Why didn't you tell us in advance? "Dong Yue`er reacted. Although she was complaining, she still greeted them with a smile.
However, at this time, there was some movement from the open door on Murphy's side.
