sky-high engagement

Chapter 389
Without the almighty Akai by her side, the matter of Xiao Nanye naturally fell on Lisa's head.

After deciding on the next itinerary, Lisa immediately helped them book air tickets and hotels.

The location was chosen by Su Mo, a water town in the south, simple and elegant.

They first flew to City H, and then came to this place by train.

Almost as soon as she arrived here, Su Mo fell in love with this place. This place where even the air could smell moist and sweet made her feel more relaxed than ever before. This is the water town!

Seeing that Su Mo was in high spirits, completely different from when he was on the train, Xiao Nanye also relaxed, and pulled her to ask, "Aren't you tired after riding for so long? Go back to the hotel to rest and come out later." .”

"No." Su Mo shook his hand with a smile. She couldn't wait to get to know this place, so she didn't want to go to the hotel.

Xiao Nanye followed her wishes, asked someone to send the salute to the hotel, and accompanied her by himself.

When Su Mo was young, she was very envious that children of the same age could travel with their parents, but she didn't have this kind of treatment.

Because her father's work is very busy, her mother's health is not good, her grandfather is getting old, and her aunt is busy with dating all day long. In short, in her memory, except for the graduation trip that year, she seems to have never left City A.

Later, after her parents passed away in a car accident, her grandfather seemed to have aged a lot overnight. The old man was so worried that she was afraid that such a tragedy would happen again, so she was not allowed to leave the city.

Although the year in Marseille was very hard, there were also many unforgettable memories.

When he came to this place, he inadvertently touched the scene, which reminded Su Mo of those days.

Feeling the people around her suddenly quiet down, Xiao Nanye turned to look at her, "What are you thinking?"

In fact, what Xiao Nanye wants to say is that his girl has always been simple and simple, and she can see through what she is thinking at a glance, so it is really not suitable for such a heavy expression.

Hearing Xiao Nanye's words, Su Mo shook his head lightly, "It's the first time I've seen such a boat when I grow up. I don't know if Grandpa grew up here when he was young?"

What she was thinking just now was definitely not these things. It could be seen that she said that on purpose, Xiao Nanye did not expose her, and continued to walk forward while holding her hand.

The water town is not big, but the road is intricate and complicated. There is a stone bridge not far away, especially there are so many small roads, and every house has the same pink bricks and black tiles.

After you pass a few intersections, you can't even tell the direction, so you don't have the heart to appreciate the misty and rainy Jiangnan, lakes and mountains.

Su Mo didn't expect to find the way back to the hotel, so he simply handed over the matter of remembering the way to Xiao Nanye, and she was only responsible for capturing all the scenery in his eyes.

Xiao Nanye was thinking about where to go at the next intersection after crossing the bridge, when she heard Su Mo's shout in her ear.

"Look, Xiao Nanye!" Su Mo pointed to a fishing boat under the bridge.

The fishing boat was passing under the bridge. Standing on the bridge, you could clearly see the fish in the boat.

The fish was just caught by the boatman, and it was still trapped in the fishing net. It seemed to want to break free from the shackles.

The smile on the corner of Su Mo's mouth disappeared, and he dragged Xiao Nanye, who was still watching, away in a hurry.

Her attitude confuses Xiao Nanye, but this woman has a small brain, but likes to think wildly, he knows all of this.

Seeing her keep looking at the fishing boats in the water along the way, looking like she wanted to say something but dared not speak, Xiao Nanye asked her, "Do you want to take a boat?"

Hearing Xiao Nanye's words, Su Mo's black eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously, "Thought."

When I came here, I naturally wanted to get in touch with this landscape.

In the afterglow of the evening, sprinkled on the turquoise water, a small boat swayed in the water. The people on the boat sat nervously and did not dare to move, for fear of accidentally falling into the water.

Seeing this, the boatman at the stern smiled and said, "You two are from other places!"

He spoke in dialect at the beginning, but Su Mo couldn't understand, so he said it again in Mandarin.

Su Mo nodded and said, "We are from City A."

The man was very talkative. He told Su Mo that in fact he was not a local. He just married here when he was young and lived here for decades.

Chatting with him, Su Mo wasn't so scared anymore, and slowly let go, even daring to put his hand into the water.

In front of unfamiliar people, Young Master Xiao seldom talks, and his body is full of air-conditioning, most people dare not take the initiative to talk to him.

The boatman chatted with Su Mo for a while, and after getting acquainted, he asked her, "This man is your husband! It's almost Chinese New Year, why are you here?"

Hearing his mention of 'husband', Su Mo blushed a little, and secretly raised her eyes to look at Xiao Nanye, seeing that he didn't express anything, she said to the boatman: "My grandfather is from the south. I have heard my family mention it several times. I just want to see it."

The boatman nodded to express his understanding. In fact, most of the people who can really stay in this kind of place are elderly people and children.

Once young people have the opportunity, which one would not want to run to a bustling metropolis?
Su Mo talked about his grandpa. When he was very young, his grandpa's mother took him to City A alone, and never returned to his home.

Grandpa has passed away for many years now, but she doesn't even know where his hometown is.

After hearing her finish, the boatman took the initiative to help her, "After all, I have lived here for most of my life. There are not many people in this town. Tell me, maybe I will know you."

When Su Mo heard that it was true, he told him his grandfather's name, "I remember when I was young, people from my grandfather's hometown came several times, and they would bring a kind of halva every time."

In fact, the crispy candies that Su Mo mentioned are sold in this small town. She found these on the Internet before, which is also the reason why she decided to come here.

She didn't know if grandpa changed his name after he left, and she didn't know whether she should go to the people in her hometown. In her limited memory, she only remembered the halva that she ate when she was a child.

After hearing what she said, the boatman thought about all the people in this town and said: "There are really a few people named Su in this town, but as far as I know, they don't have family members in other places. If you know the truth, if there is such a situation as you said, everyone must have spread the word, so they should not be the people you are looking for."

Although he didn't expect much when he came here, Su Mo still felt a little disappointed when he heard what the boatman said.

Su Mo thought, Grandpa actually wants to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors!
Although he didn't give good looks to the people who came from his hometown every year, Su Mo could feel that he should care, otherwise he wouldn't let them step into the gate of Su's house.

But Su Mo heard from his father that grandpa's mother had a falling out with her hometown, so grandpa was not allowed to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan.

"Let's go with the flow! Maybe I'll find it someday?" Su Mo smiled and said, anyway, she didn't have to find it, she was just looking for an excuse to come out and play!
Seeing that she was thinking so, the boatman laughed along with him, "You girl really understands life."

Suddenly being praised, Su Mo laughed happily, took Xiao Nanye's hand and said, "Did you hear that, don't say I'm stupid next time."

She also believed this kind of compliment, Xiao Nanye looked at her helplessly and shook her head, how else could it be said that being a fool is a blessing!

The boatman saw that their husband and wife got along very well, and judging by their temperament, they should be living well, otherwise they wouldn't be so generous just now.

"What does sir do outside?" the boatman asked Xiao Nanye.

Apart from working outside for a few years when he was young, he has been living here for the rest of his life, and he actually yearns for the outside world in his heart.

I wanted to chat with Xiao Nanye, but every time he opened his mouth, he was silent, at most he would look over because his wife couldn't stand it anymore, but he just nodded slightly.

Su Mo felt a little embarrassed when she saw this, and explained to the boatman, "My husband doesn't like to talk, so don't mind me!"

Of course, the boat owner wouldn't mind, this is his benefactor, so the two of them put aside Young Master Xiao and continued to chat.

Little did he know that the phrase 'my husband' had already made someone happy, and even the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

Feeling that he was holding his hand a bit too hard, it was just holding, but now his fingers were intertwined. Su Mo turned to look at Xiao Nanye, seeing that there was nothing unusual about him, he went to chat with the boatman again.

The boatman knows a lot of things, seeing that they are foreigners, he tells them where there are delicious and interesting places.

Now that the New Year is approaching, many migrant workers are coming back to celebrate the New Year, so the water town is much more lively than usual.

"If you can live until New Year's Eve, it will be really lively!" Said the boatman.

After Su Mo and Xiao Nan went ashore at night, they followed the road pointed by the boatman and walked towards the hotel. The sun set and stretched their shadows.

When he arrived at the hotel, Su Mo found that the hotel was a little different from the ones he had stayed in in the past.

I heard from the boatman before that this is the best hotel in town, and it was run by a foreigner.

However, many tourists who come to travel prefer to live in inns run by locals. Perhaps they feel that living in an inn is better than staying in a hotel!
Su Mo lived in an inn when he was in Lijiang, so the feeling that the boatman mentioned has nothing to do with it.

Like a traditional hotel, this hotel has no place to eat. Su Mo and Xiao Nan went back to their room at night to take a shower and change their clothes. When they went out to eat, it was already dark outside.

There are very few restaurants in the small town, probably because there are relatively few outsiders here. After the two came out of the hotel, they walked a long way to find a place to eat.

It is said that people rely on mountains to eat mountains and rely on water to drink water. This is a water town, so aquatic products are very rich, and the most important thing is freshness.

Even Young Master Xiao, who is so picky about food, drank an extra bowl of fresh fish soup, which was sweet with fat and meat.

Seeing which dish he ate a lot of, Su Mo secretly paid attention to it, and ordered it for him next time he had a meal.

The two had dinner, and walked back to the hotel slowly hand in hand. The thin moonlight fell on them, overlapping the shadows on the ground. At that moment, only the years were quiet.
