Chapter 78: Shangxi Village

The next day, Cheng Haiyi walked to the factory in Baimeixi. He was carrying several sacks with a lot of things in them.

Bai Meixi poured Cheng Haiyi a glass of spiritual spring water, looked at him with confusion and asked, "Why did you buy so many things?"

"Go and recognize your bride!" Cheng Haiyi responded while drinking water. He was panting and thirsty after walking all the way. In this winter, the weather was extremely dry.I don't know if it was because he was thirsty, but he always felt that the water Bai Meixi poured for him was different from the water he drank in the past. It always had a hint of sweetness when it entered his throat.

I remember that when I came here in the past, drinking Gu Lingxi's water also had this sweet feeling. Maybe it was not because of thirst, but because he had Bai Meixi in his heart.Just looking at her quietly like this, his heart felt like honey. But isn't drinking water sweet?

"Acknowledge?" Bai Meixi asked in confusion.

Cheng Haiyi smiled, this little fool didn't know anything.It's no wonder that her mother really didn't get involved in anything other than the betrothal gift when she got married, and didn't even tell her about the matters before the marriage.At any rate, Cheng Haiyi has a responsible mother who explained everything clearly to him before getting married, so that he wouldn't be blinded.

This is the first time to get married, so who knows so many complicated procedures?Doesn’t it depend on how your elders teach you?

"The custom here is that before getting married, the man takes the woman to visit her relatives. This is called 'recognizing relatives'. Since you are going to recognize relatives, you can't go empty-handed, right?" Cheng Haiyi explained.

Bai Meixi nodded clearly: "So there is such a thing!"

Suddenly, he remembered something, raised his head and teased Chenghai, "You know so much."

"My mother taught me this." Cheng Haiyi explained quickly, as if he had been married once and was so familiar with the marriage process.

Seeing Cheng Haiyi's anxious explanation, Bai Meixi couldn't help but be amused by him.

Cheng Haiyi understood that Bai Meixi was teasing him!He smiled evilly and pinched her nose: "Little villain."

Bai Meixi's heart trembled. Cheng Haiyi had had more and more "intimate contacts" with herself recently, and each time he could deeply touch Bai Meixi's heart.

Cheng Haiyi looked at Bai Meixi and explained: "Wait for me first, I will ride the new bicycle back, and then ride the old one to pick you up."

"Is it so troublesome to use? Just go ahead and ride the new one! You have to ride it after all." Bai Meixi said.

Cheng Haiyi shook his head and responded: "New marriage, new atmosphere. I hope that after we get married, everything you use will be new."

"But haven't you already brought your watch?" Bai Meixi retorted.

"That's different." Cheng Haiyi responded firmly, picked up the key to the new bicycle and walked out of the dormitory door.

With a bicycle, the speed is not so slow. Cheng Haiyi rode the new bicycle back and rode the old one over again.

Cheng Haiyi meant to visit the old man at his grandfather's house first, but Bai Meixi followed the memory of the original owner and remembered that his grandfather's family lived in a very isolated mountain, and the name of the mountain village was Shangxi Village.The distance to Shangxi Village is not very close. It takes about two hours just by bicycle, and the mountain road is very difficult to walk. It is basically uphill all the way, with potholes and winding mountains.

Cheng Haiyi hung the things on the handlebars of the bicycle and first let Bai Meixi sit on the back seat of the bicycle. Then he got on the bicycle and drove smoothly on the road.Cheng Haiyi didn't know the way to his grandfather's house, so he had to rely on Bai Meixi to guide him.

This time Cheng Haiyi was not as naughty as last time, and Bai Meixi naturally put her arms around Cheng Haiyi's waist.They felt closer to each other since their last bike ride.

In this conservative age, you have to be so reserved when it comes to dating, and you can't express any thoughts you want to get close to, which is quite frustrating.

There is no good scenery on the mountains in winter. The woods are basically dry, with yellow leaves piled up everywhere. The cold wind blows and hits the face, which is like being scratched by a sharp knife, causing pain.

Bai Meixi held Cheng Haiyi's arm tightly and pressed her body against his back. The two of them cuddled together to keep each other warm.Anyway, there are no people on this mountain road, so there is no need to worry about those strange looks.

Cheng Haiyi felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest when he was hugged by Bai Meixi like this, but he still liked such an intimate feeling, as if Bai Meixi had completely given herself to him with confidence, and there was no longer any grudge in his heart. .

The two-hour journey is neither long nor short.It was another uphill road. When he arrived at his grandfather's house, Cheng Haiyi was already sweating even in the cold winter.

Bai Meixi got out of the car and took out a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe Cheng Haiyi's sweat.This handkerchief was Cheng Haiyi's handkerchief when she was eating Yangchun noodles. She had already cleaned it. She originally wanted to give it back to Cheng Haiyi, but then she forgot about it. Now it comes in handy.

Cheng Haiyi felt warm in his heart when he looked at Bai Meixi's gentle and considerate look.

Most of the homes in the mountain villages are dilapidated. The surrounding walls of the adobe houses are made of accumulated stones from the mountains, and are much shorter than the walls in the countryside.The wooden door had long been worn out and was fixed to the door frame with a few thick iron wires. When pushed, it swayed and made a creaking sound.

When I entered the yard, I saw an old man feeding chickens in the yard. He turned around when he heard the noise. When he saw it was Bai Meixi, a kind smile appeared on the old man's face.

"Ah! It's Xiaomei here!"

Before he could be happy, he noticed Cheng Haiyi standing next to him and saw that he was holding a few sacks in his hand.

At this time, the uncle and aunt in the room heard the sound and hurriedly came out of the room, with happy expressions on their faces.

"Who is this little comrade?" Grandpa stood in front of Bai Meixi and looked at Cheng Haiyi with a scrutinizing gaze. He was wearing a military uniform and was very well-dressed. He also looked resolute and handsome, which made people look very impressed. Likeable.

"Grandpa, this is my partner, Cheng Haiyi!"

When Bai Meixi said this, there was a little shyness in her eyes.And with just this simple sentence, grandpa already understood the purpose of Bai Meixi's visit today. It turned out that she was here to recognize her relatives!

At this time, the eldest aunt also hurriedly came up, looked at Bai Meixi and Cheng Haiyi and said with a smile: "Oh! Look, it's such a cold day, come in and warm yourself up, this mountain road is not easy to walk, right? You must have been exhausted all the way.”

The eldest aunt warmly welcomed Bai Meixi and Cheng Haiyi into the house. The stove was burning in the house and it felt much warmer.

It was the enthusiasm of her grandfather's family that made Bai Meixi truly feel the warmth of her family. This was a warmth that her mother and her brothers and sisters could not give her.
