Hearing the sound, Shu Rao was immediately embarrassed. Didn't he hear everything?
He walked to open the door in a slight panic, his cheeks turning red unconsciously.
Lou Yi walked in calmly, came in front of his grandparents, and said respectfully, "Grandpa and grandma, I know what you are worried about, but please believe me, I am serious about Rao Rao."
"I told Rao Rao from the beginning that I got along with her with the mentality of getting married, so I thought about all aspects clearly. I am a senior colonel and come from a military family. My father is a military commander and my mother is a director.
"Chief, these are all correct, but they don't mean anything. Our family, like other families, also eats three meals a day. My family has already met Rao Rao, and they all like her."
"Furthermore, I am a soldier. I don't have much freedom. The profession of a soldier is very special. I don't have much time to take care of my family. I don't know much about romance and gentleness. I also have a child. If it's really
To say that I have a high profile, I should be the one who has a high profile for Rao Rao. I believe that I am not Rao Rao’s only choice. She will definitely find a better man in the future, so I cherish the opportunity she gave me and will be nicer to her.
."
"Xinxin also likes Raorao very much. I'm not afraid of your jokes. In fact, it was Xinxin who brought me and Raorao together, so don't worry, they will definitely get along better and better."
"Also, I'm in the army and I can't leave Beijing, but I also know that Rao Rao can't live without you, so I want to take you two elders to Beijing. I know you will think that this will increase the burden on Rao Rao, but
In fact, it’s not that serious. Rao Rao wants to open a cake shop. It’s definitely better to open it in Beijing than in Yunchuan. I can help her find a store where the business is downstairs and people live upstairs, so you don’t have to find another place to live.
Yes, and when the store is busy, you can help to check it out at least to save Rao Rao from working too hard on his own. Besides, Shu Jing is also in Beijing now. If he is on vacation, it will be convenient for him to go home."
"Of course, if you feel that it is hard to leave your homeland and don't want to go to Beijing, then Rao Rao and I can help you buy a house here. You can live here in the winter and go to Beijing to escape the heat in the summer. This is also good for your health.
Nowadays, flying is so convenient and we can arrive in a few hours.”
"Grandpa and grandma, that's all I can think of for now. If you have anything else you want to ask, just ask, and I will tell you everything I know."
After Lou Yi finished speaking, the room suddenly fell into silence.
Shu Rao's grandfather and grandmother were both moved by his sincerity. According to Rao Rao, it had only been a few days since they had confirmed their relationship, but he had already thought so much and was so thoughtful, which showed that he was really serious.
Shu Rao was also stunned. Although these words were just his description now, that picture really appeared in her mind, and she felt happy just thinking about it.
There was a sudden surge of sweetness in her heart, but she knew that this was not sweet talk, but a promise, a responsibility, and even a belief.
Although their relationship has just begun, she believes that as long as they work hard, they can really have that happy scene and have a sweet and warm family.
The atmosphere that followed could no longer be described as good. Grandpa Shu and Grandma Shu completely opened their hearts to Lou Yi and completely accepted him as their grandson-in-law, not because of how good he was, but because he knew that for Shu Rao
consider.
Although Shu Rao has been very independent since she was a child and started to bear the burden of the entire family at a young age. She seems to be very strong, but in fact she needs a broad shoulder more than anyone else, so that she can rely on her.
The two old men knew that a responsible and responsible man like Lou Yi could do it.
"Grandma, grandpa, try this. It's a specialty of Beidaihe. It's very suitable for the elderly. My great-grandpa also likes it!" The little devil also showed off his performance, making Grandpa and Grandma Shu very happy.
This kid looks very smart, no wonder Rao Rao likes it!
Not long after, the village chief took the developer to discuss the demolition door to door. The developer gave the villagers a very low appraisal price for the old houses. The two old people began to feel melancholy again, "Although our house is a bit old,
, but it is very stable and cannot be blown away by a tornado..."
Lou Yi nodded silently, the courtyard in front of him, the red-tiled house, and the green vegetable garden, seemed like a scene in a dream.
He looked at the demolition documents and found that the legal basis for the developers was the national regulations on land acquisition for construction. However, they were building commercial houses for profit. They should follow the demolition regulations and must pay villagers compensation for demolition.
But they didn't even mention the money.
So he suggested that the villagers unite to negotiate with the developer. The developer knew that it was in the wrong, so it had to give in and promised to give each villager a certain amount of compensation.
In addition, Lou Yi also proposed that the developer should provide villagers with subsidies for ground attachments and green crops in each courtyard, because every fruit tree and vegetable is the hard work of the villagers and cannot be trampled on in vain.
Seeing that they had met someone who truly understood the law, the developer did not dare to make excuses anymore, so he had no choice but to agree. In addition, he also agreed to other reasonable requests made by the villagers.
Under the supervision of the village chief, the developer re-drafted the demolition agreement. After checking the building wing, Grandpa Shu was asked to put his fingerprint on the paper. The Shu family was the first to sign the contract, and this contract obviously became a
The sample was obtained and provided a basis for the neighbors. The honest villagers will no longer be fooled by the developers.
From the negotiation to the completion of the final contract, Shu Rao stood silently behind Lou Yi. He handled everything properly and she didn't need to worry about it at all. With him here, she didn't have to go to Baidu.
The legal provisions don't even need to be spoken, it feels good to be able to rely on them.
His broad shoulder line gave her a warm and solid feeling, as if he could shield her from all the ups and downs outside, giving her the safest and gentlest care in the noisy world.
As night falls, the hustle and bustle ends, it’s time to leave the building.
Before leaving, he said respectfully to the two old people again, "Grandpa, grandma, please rest assured that I will cherish Rao Rao. If you allow me, I hope you can come to our wedding this time next year."
The two old men looked at each other. Although it was a bit too soon to get married after only dating for a year, Rao Rao is not young anymore, so it would be better to settle down as soon as possible.
Moreover, this man is gentle, sincere and polite. If Rao Rao thinks it is okay, then they will naturally support him.
Although the two old men did not agree directly, their meaning was almost the same, "As long as Rao Rao likes it."
Shu Rao's cheeks couldn't help but feel hot, with two shy blushes appearing.
She sent him out, and the little devil had already played with the neighbor's children. Before he came back, the two of them had some space alone.
The black sky of Khotan was dotted with a few stars, and under the beautiful pergola, the moonlight shone lightly. Although their bodies were not in direct contact, she could clearly feel a hot wave of energy bursting out of his tall body.
The warmth, the warm breath blew against her sensitive ears.
She raised her head and handed him the bag in her hand. In the bag was some simple food and water for him to eat on the way.
Lou Yi reached out to take it, his fingertips easily touched hers, and he couldn't help but hold it. He gently wrapped his hand around her slender waist and held her close to his chest.
Shu Rao's breathing was trembling slightly, and she was very nervous, but she didn't push him away as if she was bewitched.
She couldn't tell whether it was her heartbeat that was erratic or his. In short, it lost its original frequency in a panic.
She smelled the refreshing smell of shaving water on his body, felt him lower his head, touch her cheek with his high nose, and then slowly cover hers with his warm lips.
His strength was gentle but firm, grabbing her breath and sweeping away her reason.
He kissed her lips as soft as petals, and the fragrant breath made him fascinated.
Lips were touching each other intimately, and their hearts were slowly getting closer.

After Ye Xingchen and Lou Xi left Tibet, they did not return to Yunchuan or Beidaihe. Instead, they returned to Beijing first and went to the cemetery.
This day happens to be the death anniversary of Ye Xingchen's parents.
The sky was slightly glowing with white light, and the cemetery was quiet.
The two of them knelt in front of the tombstone, Ye Xingchen's tears fell one by one, and Lou Xi's eyes couldn't help but get wet.
They placed the snowdrops in their arms in front of the tombstone. The flower was brought back from Tibet. It bloomed on the high snow-capped mountains and was extremely holy.
Neither of them spoke, they just knelt in silence until it got dark.
Ye Xingchen gently touched the photo on the tombstone, his eyes were red and swollen, and he was reluctant to part with it.
Lou Xi gently took her hand, held it tightly, and said in an extremely hoarse voice, "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of Xingchen and give her your share of love. But please, please
Allow me to be selfish, I don’t want to see her cry again, so I will come to see you every year on this day, and then on the eve of the Spring Festival every year, we will come to see you together and let you witness our happiness, okay?
?”
The people in the photo naturally won't answer, but their loving eyes are eternal.
Ye Xingchen's eyes were filled with tears, and he held Lou Xi's hand firmly, and the two of them bowed deeply to the tombstone.
Their knees were already numb, so they helped each other get up, and when they left, their fingers were clasped together, so firm.

The dust of the sad past has settled, and the Spring Festival holiday has come to an end.
Ye Xingchen and Lou Xi then rushed to Beidaihe, met their grandfather, said goodbye to Lou Yicheng and Han Fengyi, and then picked up Sisi and returned to Yunchuan together.
Han Fengyi originally wanted Ye Xingchen and Lou Xi to hold a make-up wedding first, but Lou Xi had to return to the team immediately and it was too late, so she had to give up.
But she thought again, maybe next year, Lou Yi and Shu Rao will be able to have their wedding together, and it will definitely be more lively, and she felt a lot more happy.
Life is back to normal, everyone is in their place, but it's a little different.
In the new year, everyone has a new beginning.
Lou Xi returned to the Special Forces Brigade. Having been promoted to colonel, he became the successor of Captain Wu Lie and served as deputy captain.
Ye Xingchen also returned to work in the military hospital. The last person to go to the United States was Jing Sa.
She knew that Jing Sa had really let go this time, otherwise she would not have called Lou Xi and told him about her trip to Tibet.
And Jing Sa didn't leave alone, she took her mother with her.
Before the Spring Festival, Jing's father's case had been investigated and he was cleared.
She thought that Jing Sa and Jing Mu's future would be better.
Lou Yi also returned to the army. The first thing he did was file a love report. Wang Xiaoming's grandfather, Political Commissar Wang, approved it on the spot. Then all the bachelors in the division started partying, but the hearts of the girls in the military art troupe were broken.
land.
Shu Rao soon devoted herself to the cake shop business. She had already made up her mind to accept Lou Yi's proposal and open a shop in Beijing.
Although Ye Xingchen was reluctant to let her leave Yunchuan, she also knew that Rao Rao's choice was right, so she still supported it. She also knew that opening a store required money, and Rao Rao would not easily accept Lou Yi's funding, so she put herself
The money originally intended to buy a car was deposited into Rao Rao's account.
Shu Rao didn't say thank you to her, because that would be too intrusive. He just gave her a hug and started on his way to Beijing.
After Shu Rao arrived in Beijing, the happiest person was undoubtedly the little devil. She even treated the children generously and bought a lot of candies, but the children all had toothaches after eating.
Shu Rao's cake shop soon took shape. She found a friend to rent a three-story store at a low price in the wing of the building. It also has a basement. The first and second floors can be opened. People can live on the third floor, and goods and materials are stored in the basement.
.
The name of the cake shop adopted the little devil's original suggestion - Shuxin Cake Shop.
As soon as you hear this name, you will feel warm.
Before the business of the cake shop even opened, it was already receiving orders and was being rebuffed, because Han Fengyi had already announced that it was her future daughter-in-law's shop, and she asked everyone to support her, so there was an endless stream of distinguished customers.
Shu Rao was suddenly under a lot of pressure, but she has always been brave. During the trial opening period, she had already conquered everyone with her delicious food.
After Shu Rao left, Ye Xingchen returned the rented house and took Sisi back to the new house she bought when she and Lou Xi got married.
It's been a long time since I've stayed here. When I opened the door, there was a strong smell of dust, but there was also happiness in the air.
After cleaning, Ye Xingchen took Sisi out and went to a kindergarten with a good reputation in the city.
Sisi is 3 years old and can go to kindergarten. The little girl is very happy about this, because not only can she play with many children during the day, but she can also go home and sleep with Ma Ma at night. She is as happy as she can be.
happiness.
After Ye Xingchen arrived at the kindergarten, he consulted the principal. The kindergarten opens at 8 a.m. every day and ends at 5 p.m. At noon, the teachers will arrange lunch and let the children take a nap. The kindergarten is normally closed on Saturdays and Sundays, but it will also provide
Ye Xingchen was very satisfied with her daycare obligations. The time coincided with her commuting time, so she decided to help Sisi sign up.
Kindergarten is divided into large, middle and small classes. Of course, Sisi is in the smallest class. In the small class, you don’t actually learn anything. They only teach a few pinyin and Chinese characters every day and write 12345. Most of the other time, the teacher leads the children to play games.
Singing, dancing, etc., but for children, it’s better not to have so much pressure at a young age.
Ye Xingchen helped Sisi register, but she did not let the little girl enroll in school on the same day because she had to help Sisi prepare stationery, lunch boxes and spoons for lunch every day, and quilts for naps. Mother
The two women immediately went to the mall.
After buying all the items, Ye Xingchen sent Sisi to school the next day. The little girl was very cute. The teacher took a fancy to her when she signed up the day before, and the children quickly became attached to her.
Ye Xingchen was very happy about this. The little girl's life was finally normal!
However, she was still a little worried and did not dare to leave immediately. Instead, she hid outside the classroom and secretly observed her for a long time. After seeing that the little girl had been obedient and not uncomfortable at all, she left with peace of mind.
Before leaving, she specifically asked for the phone numbers of the kindergarten principal and all the teachers in the small class, and left her own contact information for easy contact at any time.
Happy and stable days have begun.
However, there was a fly in the ointment. She thought that she was so happy, how could her brother-in-law be alone?
Picked up the phone and called Zuo Lingfeng, "Uncle, there is a nurse from the surgery department in our hospital. She is very nice and pretty. Do you want to meet her?"
Zuo Lingfeng laughed in surprise. Are you asking him to go on a blind date?
"Xingchen, I'm afraid I don't have time!" he declined.
Ye Xingchen couldn't help but feel annoyed, but there was nothing he could do about it. His uncle was going back to the army tomorrow, to the special forces brigade.
