You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"Do you have any of your things that you want to take back to the Magic City?"

"What is it?" Xiao Yao asked.

"I have sorted them all out for you, you can take a look at them yourself," said Yu Luying.

Xiao Yao ate a sesame seed bun and followed Yu Luying into the second bedroom. In the corner, there was a pile of "documents" that Yu Luying had neatly folded for him.

"Oh," Xiao Yao squatted down and said, "This is good."

The bound volumes of "The Emperor of Science Fiction" from 1994 to 2000 are so thick, with exquisite hard cover, and they look very high when stacked together.

Xiao Yao can still remember the joy he felt when he first got them.

"Okay, okay, okay," Xiao Yao clapped his hands and said, "Take him back to the Magic City."

Next were two hardcover diaries. Xiao Yao opened them and saw that they were indeed his diaries from junior high school.

The boy turned around suddenly and looked at the girl.

"I didn't read it," Yu Luying said slowly, "I just flipped through it and took a look at what it was. I found it was a diary and didn't read it."

"It's okay to watch it, actually." Xiao Yao deliberately downplayed it.

It would be strange if nothing happened.

What if she saw how I fantasized about Tang Xuewei in my diary?

I don't mean anything else, it's just too embarrassing.

Next, Xiao Yao saw a neatly folded, square piece of letter paper.

Xiao Yao carefully spread it out, and what he saw was a piece of letter paper with traces of time and full of ancient atmosphere. The letter paper was square in shape and of moderate size, about 8 inches wide and 11 inches high, meeting the standards of traditional letters.

The color of the letter paper has turned a little yellow, showing signs of time. When you touch it, you can feel that the texture of the paper is slightly rough, and it has an old feel.

"It seems like it was written by your grandfather," Yu Luying explained, "Sorry, I read it secretly."

Xiao Yao shook the letter, sat next to Yu Luying and began to read the letter.

This letter is in vertical traditional Chinese and needs to be read from right to left. If you look closely, you will see that it is written in small characters with a brush and the font is quite beautiful.

"My grandson Xiao Yao:

Show Xin'an.

Grandpa is afraid that his time is running out, and you are the pillar of the family, so I haven't been able to talk to you in these years. Please don't think I'm nagging.

You have been a playboy since you were a child. You will take revenge for any slight. I am very worried.

Your second uncle and your younger uncle are of little use in their lives. Grandpa knows that they owe your father a lot, but they are blood relatives and your father is helpless. I hope that after I am gone, you will do more to mediate between your parents.

When you have a son and a daughter, name the son Yujing and the daughter Changsheng. There is no need to worship the ancestors on festivals and reunions. You only need to bring some wine and offer sacrifices in the east of your home.

I know you are like your father, taciturn and cautious, but remember that young people cannot be like middle-aged people, they must be energetic. "

Xiao Yao sniffed, wiped the corner of his eyes with the tip of his right index finger, and turned the letter over.

"Grandpa has always felt guilty for not taking care of you when you were young. Every time I saw you being silent and having a violent temper, I felt so distressed that I couldn't help myself.

When you get married, hang a three-bang whip on the ancestral tomb to inform the ancestors. I will also be able to see your grandfather in the underworld. Grandson, remember not to cry or be sad. I have taught you not to lose your temper in front of outsiders since you were young. This time is no exception. You must maintain your dignity and learn to hide your talents. You have a mole on your hand, which means your life will be smooth, but remember to be modest and tolerant. When you are looking for a good match in life, remember to do your best and be tolerant. Men should not be too coquettish.

Xiao Wenjin

1997.5.27 "

A drop of water fell on the letter, soaking it immediately. Xiao Yao quickly stretched out the letter paper. Yu Luying took the letter paper and folded it neatly for him again.

Seeing that Xiao Yao was a little agitated, the girl handed him another tissue.

She hesitantly and with a hint of timidity, stretched out a hand, went around Xiao Yao's back, and gently stroked the boy's left upper arm.

Xiao Yao took advantage of the situation and dived into the girl's arms.

"..." Yu Luying was stunned for a moment, then gently patted Xiao Yao on the back and said, "Okay, okay."

"Hey, Xiao Yao, what are you doing here--" At this moment, Yu Lihua pushed open the door of the second bedroom without any warning.

........................................................................

Chapter 224 The Confession of the Little Scumbag

2023-06-05

"Hey, Xiao Yao, what are you doing here--" At this moment, Yu Lihua pushed open the door of the second bedroom without any warning.

……

Then, he went out without saying a word, and closed the door when he left.

Xiao Yao came out of Yu Luying's arms, the two looked at each other, and walked out of the room at the same time.

"What's wrong, Mom?" Yu Luying walked into the dining room, leaned against the door leading to the living room, and manicured her nails.

"It's okay. I wanted to ask Xiao Yao if there is a church in Dongru." Yu Lihua looked a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong? Isn't it early for Sunday?"

"Yes," Yu Lihua said, "I just thought, since we are here, we might as well pay our respects to the saint..."

The four famous laws of the Chinese are "since we're already here", "everyone is dead", "it's New Year's Day" and "the children are still young". It seems that the Chinese who believe in foreign religions are no exception - of course, there is also pilgrimage to worship Buddha, Xiao Yao thought.

The boy scratched his head and said, "I grew up here, but I've never heard of any church here."

I called Xu Ruiyi and Tang Jiaxin to ask, and they both said they didn't know.

Yu Luying sent a message to Tang Xuewei, who said that she knew there was a church in Dongru, but it seemed to be purely a landscape and not a real church.

"Why don't you search it online?" Tang Xuewei said.

"Search online? Why search online? Can't I just call your uncle and ask?" Yu Lihua suddenly had an idea.

"...Hello, Po...it's me..."

After breakfast, Yu Luying helped Xiao Yao pack a snakeskin sack of old belongings. In addition to the Science Fiction Emperor, diaries and the like, there were also some CDs, tapes, old books and gadgets that Xiao Yao listened to when he was in junior high school.

Xiao Yao was a little conflicted. Although there was nothing fun to do in Dongru, he really wanted to spend a few more days on "vacation" with Yu Luying.

What's even worse is that Yu Luying is obviously still bothered by last night's accident. If he can't resolve this issue before returning to Shanghai, and completely ease and normalize the bilateral relationship, then he is worried that he will encounter obstacles everywhere after returning to Shanghai.

Shen Jie's disappearance made him restless, but in the current situation, even if he returned to the Magic City, he didn't know what he could do, and he didn't know where to find her - perhaps, he could discuss it with his daughter?

However, Yu Lihua, who was so big, was standing right in front of him, and it was obvious that Xiao Yao did not have any right to choose.

After packing their luggage, Xiao Yao accompanied Yu's mother and daughter out.

I learned from Bogo that the nearest Catholic church to Dongru is in the next-door Fangbing Town, which is neither close nor far, only about ten kilometers away.

Xiao Yao originally wanted to persuade his mother-in-law to give up, but Yu Luying actually looked like she really wanted to go, so they had no choice but to embark on the pilgrimage together.

Fortunately, the direction of Fangbing and the direction of Modu are on the same side, so they can get on the bus directly from Fangbing and go back to Modu, which is quite convenient.

Xiao Yao suggested that perhaps Xu Ruiyi could be asked to drive them there. Yu Lihua applauded, but Yu Luying refused to cause any more trouble for Xu.

After studying for a while, the final conclusion was that it would be better to take the bus.

The three of them walked out of the Party School, and Yu Lihua turned into a supermarket convenience store to purchase some supplies.

Yu Luying turned around twice with her hands behind her back and took out a pack/a pair of skin-colored pantyhose.

? Why buy this? Xiao Yao was puzzled.

When paying the bill, Yu Luying leaned over and made a gesture to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao walked over, and she searched in his shirt pocket for a long time, then reached into his trouser pocket, searching the left side first and then the right side.

"What on earth are you doing?" Xiao Yao couldn't help but shouted in a low voice.

The boy glanced at Yu Lihua who was comparing the brands and prices in the corner. Fortunately, she was very focused and didn't notice this side.

Finally, Yu Luying took out a 20-yuan note and three or five coins and paid the bill.

"Why are you buying this?" Xiao Yao couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "You have no money on you?"

"Yes, I have money," Yu Luying replied expressionlessly, "This is your compensation to me."

?

"No," Xiao Yao was unhappy: "We are all involved in accidental discharges. Impulsiveness is a matter between two people, not to mention that you were the one who flirted with me first. I didn't really do that, so why did you——"

As soon as he said "What are you doing", he realized that he had said something wrong and subconsciously covered his mouth.

"Are you not pretending to have amnesia anymore?" Yu Luying looked at him, still expressionless.

"So you're mad at me now?"

Yu Luying shook her head: "No, I'm just angry at myself."

Xiao Yao was about to speak again, but saw Yu Lihua coming over with the things she wanted to buy in her hands, so they both shut up tacitly and smiled at each other.

The three people couldn't take a rickshaw and couldn't get a taxi, so Xiao Yao suggested walking to the bus station, but in the end, they still used two rickshaws to solve the problem.

Yu Lihua naturally wanted to ride in the same car with her daughter, but Xiao Yao also wanted to sit with Yu Luying.

"Auntie," Xiao Yao asked with a stiff upper lip, "How about Yingying and I share a car?"

Yu Lihua was a little surprised - she was amazed at the boy's boldness, and also a little surprised by his "clinginess".

"Okay," Yu Lihua was stunned for a moment before she smiled kindly and stood up to get off the car: "You come and sit."

Unexpectedly, Yu Luying grabbed her mother and said, "Don't go. I'll sit with you. Let him take a car by himself."

Yu Lihua was very persistent and forced her daughter to ride in the same car with Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao gave Yu Lihua a grateful look.

In the rickshaw, Yu Luying was forced to sit close to him. Xiao Yao tried to coax her all the way, but Yu Luying just avoided the question and said that it was okay - but she didn't allow him to hold her hand or hug her. Any physical contact would be rejected. She was also depressed and didn't talk to him on her own initiative.

A three-kilometer bicycle ride is not enough to coax a woman who is determined to be with you. Before you know it, you have arrived at Dongru Bus Station.

Fortunately, there was a bus going to Shanghai in ten minutes, which would pass through Fangbing Town.

--split line--

The bus to Fangbing Town - to be precise, it is not the bus to Fangbing Town, but the bus that passes through Fangbing Town, which is not too crowded.

In fact, at a glance, two-thirds of the seats are still empty.

Yu Lihua sat in the first row, while Yu Luying was half-forced to sit in the second to last row with Xiao Yao.

Look, such a good mother-in-law, you can’t find her even with a lantern, Xiao Yao thought gratefully.

He had been pestering Yu Luying for a long time, but there was no obvious breakthrough, so he had to focus on other things first.

"Please call Shen Jie for me." Xiao Yao said to Yu Luying.

"What's wrong again?" Yu Luying's tone was a little impatient: "Why are you here again?"

"She's missing." Xiao Yao said concisely.

Yu Luying took a deep breath and was about to say something when Xiao Yao interrupted her: "This time it has reached almost 24 hours, which is unprecedented. The last time she contacted me was around 11 o'clock yesterday morning."

As he spoke, he took out his cell phone and showed it to Yu Luying.

Yu Luying didn't seem to want to watch it, so she took out her cell phone and called Shen Jie.

The girl frowned and put the phone to her ear and listened for a few seconds, then she took the phone back in front of her, dialed again, and then put the phone to her ear and listened for a few seconds.

"It's not in the service area," Yu Luying told Xiao Yao, "It was not in the service area both times."

"...Why did you change the wallpaper?" Xiao Yao knew that now was not the time to "make trouble", but he really couldn't help it - in fact, he couldn't bear it anymore.

"What wallpaper?" Yu Luying replied coldly.

"The wallpaper on your phone is the photo of the two of us."

"Oh, I just change them for fun every few days when I have nothing to do." Yu Luying said in a nonchalant tone.

"Change it back." Xiao Yao said firmly.

Yu Luying sighed, her body stiff and straight, not moving at all.

Xiao Yao realized that now was not a good time to conduct this kind of "obedience test": "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Yu Luying closed the flip cover of her phone with a "click".

"We need to talk." Xiao Yao said.
