After rebirth, I found out that I have a childhood sweetheart

Although the three families used to have such a good relationship that they would not mind visiting each other and staying overnight, in the past two years, the parents of the Xia and Mei families have hardly interacted with each other, while the Lin and Mei families are very close.

Mei Fang stood up for Lin Youxi at the beginning of last year and helped fight against Youxi's uncle who had been tormenting his family. Youxi's mother, Sister Meijuan, has been taking care of the three children, and she must have been in contact with the Mei family. The two families even have some closer feelings, which can be seen from the purchase today.

Although our Yuanyuan is not as good at studying as Youxi, she is still inferior to the daughter of the Lin family in terms of appearance and personality.

What's more, she is a big star now!

Xia Xun felt that his daughter couldn't let Lin Youxi take the lead because of missing this opportunity, so he had to help his daughter make up her mind:

"If you want to go, why don't you come with us and play for a few days?"

"Can I?"

Xia Yuan's eyes opened wide, and then her tone seemed a little aggrieved, "I only have so much time to spend with you in a year, and I thought you would never let me go..."

"I definitely don't agree with you going alone, but since Youxi is going, there's no problem."

Xia Xun patted his daughter's shoulder and said, "Although mom and dad really want you to be with them, you are not a child after all. You also have the right to make your own choices and the right to pursue happiness..."

Just when Xia Xun was seriously talking to Xia Yuan about the philosophy of life, an expression of disgust suddenly appeared on his daughter's face.

"Dad...it's not that serious yet...don't talk so immaturely. I'm a little embarrassed."

"What does zhong, zhong ni mean?"

"That is to say, Dad, you speak like you are reciting lines!"

"Isn't this just chatting with you..."

"Dad, you are quite interesting sometimes, haha..."

"What do you mean by sometimes? You are being disrespectful."

Xia Xun knocked on Xia Yuan's head and said, "I think you have been led astray by that kid Mei Fang..."

Xia Yuan covered her head and tilted her head, "Don't blame Ah Fang for everything. Is it possible that your daughter has always been like this?"

"Impossible. How can I, as a father, not know my daughter's personality?"

"hey-hey……"

Xia Yuan sat obediently in the car and looked at the scenery. The interaction with her old father somewhat brought back some childhood memories for Xia Yuan.

She vaguely remembers the time when she always pestered her father to lift her up high, asked him to take her out to play, and admired him so much.

However, as time went by, when the object of her admiration gradually changed from her father to Mei Fang, her eyes no longer fell on anyone other than Mei Fang.

Before he knew it, Xia Yuan felt a little sad about the ruthlessness of time when he saw that his once tall and handsome father was now a little out of shape and had some gray hair on his temples.

Xia Xun promised his daughter that she could go to Mei Fang's house with Youxi to play for a while before going back, and then bring them back together after the Mei family came back for the New Year. Mei Lijun had originally planned to pick Mei Fang up the next day, but now it was a good opportunity to save trouble, so Xia Xun directly packed up Liang Meijuan and the three others and took them to Baizhou City, where there was enough space in his six-seater SUV.

On the way, Mei Fang called her parents to explain the situation. When Xiang Xiaoxia heard that Youxi and Yuanyuan would come to her house before the New Year, her voice on the other end of the phone trembled with laughter and she quickly expressed her warm welcome. Her sister Mei Ya was also very happy when she heard about it. Mei Fang could even hear her excited shouts through the phone.

Xia Xun personally sent a large group of people to the door of Mei Lijun's small villa in Baimei County. Mei Ya was there to greet them early. When she saw Xia Yuanlin Youxi get out of the car, she hugged them one by one intimately, and then each of them took their sisters' hands and led them home.

"Wow, Xiaoya, you really change every year. I can hardly recognize you now!"

Lin Youxi also chimed in, "But she gets cuter every year."

"Really... But my parents don't think so, especially my mom."

Meiya stamped her feet in annoyance. "She always says that I am getting more annoying every year."

"Nonsense...I never said that to you."

Xiang Xiaoxia also came to the yard wearing an apron and rubbing her hands to greet everyone: "Come on, come in and sit down..."

"Aunt Xiang...Aunt Xiang, let's come over and play!"

Xia Yuan took Lin Youxi's hand and came over happily to greet Xiang Xiaoxia. Xiang Xiaoxia almost couldn't call out her name for a moment.

"Wow... these two little beauties, they say girls change a lot when they grow up, they are really completely different now."

In Xiang Xiaoxia's impression, Lin Youxi has always been that shy little girl with a runny nose, but now this tall and beautiful girl with outstanding temperament is really far from her memory.

However, although she would not hug herself right away like before, Lin Youxi was still as close to Xiang Xiaoxia as before. She immediately took Xiang Xiaoxia's hand, kneaded it, and squeezed it, "Aunt Xiang, long time no see."

"Yeah...it's been a long time."

Seeing this, Xia Yuan certainly didn't want to fall behind Lin Youxi, so she took Xiang Xiaoxia's arm and asked with a smile, "Auntie, I haven't eaten your cooking for a long time. What delicious food did you make today?"

"Yes, yes, we have everything. They are all your favorites!"

"Have you finished everything? If not, I can help you."

"I can too!"

"No, no, no... You are guests, why are you being so polite here?"

Xiang Xiaoxia held a small cotton-padded jacket in her left hand and another in her right hand. They smelled so good, and were more sensible and well-behaved than her own leaky cotton-padded jacket that made people dizzy. At this time, Xia Xun and Liang Meijuan also got out of the car. Xiang Xiaoxia hurriedly greeted them:

"Old Xia, thank you for sending the kids here. And Sister Meijuan, come in and sit down!"

"Is Director Mei not at home?"

"He's still out socializing today. Why are you calling him Director Mei? That's so strange! Just call him Brother Lijun."

Although Liang Meijuan was the oldest among the adults, she was the one who spoke the least. Seeing that she was embarrassed, Lin Youxi took the initiative to pull her hand and invited her in to chat.

Xia Xun admired the Mei family courtyard renovated by Mei Lijun with great interest, "Brother Lijun's courtyard looks quite stylish."

"He... is just fiddling around. By the way, your family is living in the Imperial Garden now, right?"

“We just moved last summer.”

"Where's that house? Has it been sold?"

"These are old houses. It's hard to sell them. It's good to keep them there."

"That's what I'm saying...your house is pretty good, don't sell it if there's nothing wrong."

Today, Mei Lijun was out working and entertaining people. Xiang Xiaoxia, as the hostess, entertained the big family who came from afar. After dinner and chatting, Xia Xun said it was time to drive back to Baimei County. After repeated attempts to persuade him to stay, he decided to take Liang Meijuan home with him.

Before parting, Lin Youxi talked and laughed with Liang Meijuan along the way and reminded her of many things. She also hugged her tightly before getting in the car. Seeing Lin Youxi and Liang Meijuan go from being strangers at the beginning to being as close as mother and daughter now, Xiang Xiaoxia felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.

Xia Yuan, who always complained that her father did not leave early enough, interacted more with Xia Xun this time. She stood on tiptoe and patted her old father's shoulder to help him brush off the dust on his shoulders.

"Take good care of yourself and mom, Dad."

"Yeah...I know, don't worry."

Xia Xun also followed suit and gently patted his daughter's shoulder. "The daughter of our Xia family is the best daughter. She will not lose to anyone. Do you understand?"

"Dad...you'd better leave quickly! What shameful things are you saying again!"

The interaction between Xia Yuan and Xia Xun made everyone laugh. Before getting on the bus, Xia Xun gave a warning look to Mei Fang, who was sitting next to her family and had no sense of presence.

You are still in school, it is too early to talk about dating.

I can give you some more time to think about it, Mei Fang.

If you dare to make a decision that disappoints our Yuanyuan, I will show you how I will deal with you...

Chapter 267 Extraction of Milk Teeth

Not long after Mei Fang and his team saw Xia Xun and Liang Meijuan off, Mei Lijun drove back in a hurry.

"Where's Yuanyuan? Where's Youxi? Have they both gone home? They wouldn't have gone home as soon as I got here... Oh, then I'm really unlucky—"

Mei Lijun walked into the house complaining and saw Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi watching TV with Xiang Xiaoxia. Upon seeing Uncle Mei coming, the two children hurriedly stood up and greeted Mei Lijun:

"Uncle Mei, long time no see!"

"..."

Mei Lijun was slow to react when he saw Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi. He hesitated for a long time and couldn't call out their names. It was not until the filial daughter beside him hit him hard on the thigh that Mei Lijun finally reacted and looked carefully at the two people who might be candidates for his future daughter-in-law:

"I clearly saw you two last year, but why do I feel like you two have completely different temperaments..."

"Is there such a difference? I just think the two sisters are prettier!"

Mei Ya grabbed her father's clothes and said, "Also, Dad, why are you back so late today? I want to help Mom check if you have been drinking."

"Oh, I didn't drink! I drove back here, how could I have drunk alcohol?"

Mei Ya, the filial daughter and theatrical actress, slapped Mei Lijun's thigh again, "Comrade Mei Lijun! Please be proactive and cooperate with my actions. This is a routine inspection!"

"Alright, alright...I get it." Mei Lijun squatted down and muttered in a low voice, "Since your sister Yuanyuan and sister Xi are here, can't you give your father a little face?"

"It is the ancestral motto of our Mei family not to drink and cause trouble. This is also to let Sister Youxi and Sister Yuanyuan learn the procedures in advance. They will definitely need them in the future."

Xiang Xiaoxia heard her daughter assisting and felt angry and amused at the same time. "Xiaoya, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Meiya made a face at her mother, "I'm not talking nonsense!"

"You are such a talkative girl... you are just like your father and brother! I will teach you a lesson!"

"I'm not being stubborn!"

"Aunt Xiang, Aunt Xiang, it's okay...it's okay!"

Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi pulled Xiang Xiaoxia to stop. The whole family was making a lot of noise in the living room. Mei Fang came downstairs to meet everyone after taking a shower and was almost hit in the face by a flying slipper.

Mei Fang's house had a guest room. Xiang Xiaoxia specially vacated it during the day for Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan to clean it up, and then led the girls to the room, "You will temporarily live in this room for the time being. If you need anything, feel free to say hello to your aunt. Just treat this as your own home, don't be polite!"

"Yeah, we know!"

Xia Yuan smiled and nodded at Xiang Xiaoxia. At this time, Lin Youxi also said, "Don't bother Auntie. We will take care of Ah Fang if there is anything."

"That's right... You can just go find Ah Fang directly."

Xiang Xiaoxia glanced at Xia Yuan, then her eyes fell on Lin Youxi. After looking for a while, she turned and left, returning to her bedroom. Mei Lijun was sitting on the bed happily watching TV. Seeing his wife coming, he hurriedly made room for Xiang Xiaoxia to lie down.

"Hey, honey, don't you think so? It's only been a year since we last met, but I feel like Yuanyuan and Youxi are completely grown-ups now, totally different from when they were little."

"Girls change a lot when they grow up. This is normal."

Mei Lijun slapped his thigh and sighed, "I have to say that the boys haven't changed much. For example, our Mei Fang still looks silly and stupid."

"Is your son stupid? Your son is very smart."

Xiang Xiaoxia rolled her eyes at him in annoyance, "If your son wasn't smart, how could these two girls follow him so devotedly and not even go home for the New Year?"

"That makes sense..."

Mei Lijun thought for a moment and said, "But do you think Youxi is really dating our son? I observed her a little today, but I didn't see how special Ah Fang was to her. She's about the same as she is to Yuanyuan."
