Walking with the Villain, Lou Xiao'e's Alternative Love

This shout was like a spring breeze, instantly warming the entire Xu family compound.

In the yard, everyone in the Xu family moved at the sound, their faces filled with smiles of surprise and anticipation. They almost stepped out of the door at the same time and hurried out to greet them.

"Oh, my son, you are finally back!" Mother Xu's voice was choked with sobs. She held Lou Xiao'e's hand tightly, her eyes full of love and care. "Look, your little face is frozen. Come in quickly."

Xu's father stood aside, patting Xu Damao's shoulder with his hands full of traces of time, his eyes gleaming with relief and pride. "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." He repeated this sentence, as if confirming that the dream of a happy family has come true.

The Xu family courtyard, the home of Lou Xiaoe's husband that she once did not want to set foot in, now has an unusually harmonious atmosphere.

The family surrounded Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao and entered the house. The eldest sister-in-law was busy serving hot tea to them, while the mother-in-law took Lou Xiao'e aside and asked her about her life.

Lou Xiao'e watched all this and felt a warm feeling in her heart.

She originally thought that returning to the Xu family would be more or less awkward and unfamiliar, but she did not expect that her in-laws would accept her so warmly.

The eldest brother Xu Dazheng has a calm and introverted personality. Since he became the pillar of the family, he has been silently shouldering the burden of the family with a hard-working spirit.

The eldest sister-in-law, Li Shengnan, is a typical good wife and mother. She is not only filial to her parents-in-law, but also keeps the house in order.

My eldest niece, Xu Zhen, is eleven years old. She is smart and has excellent academic performance. She is recognized as a good child among the neighbors.

My nephew Xu Bao is only five years old, but he is lively and cute, and he is the happy pill of the family. He always likes to follow his family members and imitate the words and deeds of adults. His innocent appearance often makes the whole family laugh.

The second sister Xu Daye married Zhang Fugui from the next village and now has only one nine-year-old son, Zhang Hao.

Life is pretty prosperous.

Xu Damao, as the youngest son in the family, has been loved by the whole family since he was a child.

Relying on his status as an elder, he always enjoys making his nephews cry, but his childish mischief has become an indispensable bright spot in the family.

Lou Xiao'e was pressed down on the kang by her mother-in-law, feeling a thousand emotions in her heart, "What a good family, but the original owner caused a rift between them. But it's okay, let her take advantage of this opportunity. I absolutely cannot tolerate not taking advantage of this ready-made opportunity."

"Da Mao, we haven't wished our parents a happy new year yet." Lou Xiao'e said as she looked at Xu Damao who was holding Xu Bao lovingly.

"Happy New Year? Haven't we already greeted each other? Why are we still wishing?" Xu Damao said as he kept pinching his nephew here and there.

It is no wonder that Xu Damao failed to deeply understand his daughter-in-law's wishes. In the past, Lou Xiao'e was reluctant to come, and even if she came reluctantly, she was just perfunctory. There was no such thing as kowtowing to her parents-in-law and wishing a happy new year according to custom.

Seeing this, Lou Xiao'e felt both amused and helpless.

She stood up, walked to Xu Damao, took his hand, and said firmly: "Da Mao, I was negligent before. Now that we are married, we should follow the rules. Paying New Year's greetings to our elders is our intention as the younger generation, and it is also a good tradition of our family.

Come, let's kowtow to our parents and wish them good health and all the best. "

Having said that, Lou Xiao'e was about to pull Xu Damao down to the field.

Everyone in the Xu family was shocked by her action, even Xu Damao was in a state of confusion. "Wife, wife, wait a minute, do we really have to kowtow?

"If you don't want to, I can do it myself."

"Yes, I am willing to kowtow." Xu Damao quickly put his nephew down and got down to the ground.

The mother-in-law came to her senses and was about to persuade her son and daughter-in-law to stop, but was stopped by her second daughter Xu Daye, "Mom, since it is Xiao'e's intention, you and Dad should accept it and show your filial piety as your son and daughter-in-law."

The mother-in-law's eyes moved between the children, with complex emotions surging in her heart.

She sighed softly, as if she was saying to herself and everyone present: "Forget it, now that this scene that she never dared to hope for has appeared, she and the old man will no longer reject the children's sincerity.

Mother Xu reached out and pulled Father Xu over and sat him on the chair.

Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e knelt together on the futon placed by their sister-in-law. They knelt side by side. Although their movements seemed a little unfamiliar, the sincerity and respect in their eyes could not be ignored.

The couple kowtowed three times respectfully to Mr. and Mrs. Xu.

"Happy New Year, Mom and Dad! I wish you good health and a long life!"

Xu's father and mother were so moved that their eyes filled with tears, and they hurriedly helped the two of them up.

"Okay, okay! Get up, get up quickly."

"This is a happy and harmonious family!" said the eldest sister-in-law with a smile.

After being helped up, Lou Xiao'e earnestly greeted her eldest brother and sister-in-law and her second sister and brother-in-law, and gave them her most sincere blessings.

The future is still long, and she will work hard with Xu Damao to make this family more happy and harmonious.

My father-in-law smiled and nodded, his eyes full of satisfaction.

At this moment, the cold atmosphere caused by misunderstandings and estrangements was instantly replaced by warmth, and the hearts of the family were more closely connected because of this simple New Year's greeting ceremony.

Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao were just about to sit on the warm kang after greeting each other when they heard their eldest nephew Zhang Hao say, "Aunt, my grandpa and grandma haven't given you the New Year's money yet."

"Hahaha..." Everyone in the room burst into laughter at the child's words.

Xu Damao laughed and joked with his parents, "Yes, Mom and Dad, what Haozi said is right. How can you kowtow without giving lucky money?"

"Uncle, please don't call me by a nickname. My grandma said that 'rat' is not a good word." The little nephew said seriously.

Xu Damao picked up Zhang Hao and shook him up and down, saying, "Don't listen to your grandma. I'm your uncle, how can I cheat my own nephew?"

"But my grandma said you are the most unreliable." Zhang Hao said again.

The second brother-in-law hurriedly took his son down from his brother-in-law's arms, thinking, "If this kid keeps talking, he will definitely get all the words out of his mother."

"Uncle, please hug me, hug me, not Brother Hao." Xu Bao raised his little hands and asked for a hug.

Seeing this, Lou Xiao'e was also very fond of these children. "I packed a few big red envelopes when I went out. Alas! I thought I would give one to any little one who wished us a happy new year. Looks like I have to take it back."

Xu Zhen exchanged glances with Zhang Hao and said, "Uncle and aunt, please sit down and we will wish you a happy new year.

Zhang Hao added: “Yes, yes.”

Next, the three little ones started to greet each other during the New Year.

The first to come out was the eldest niece Xu Zhen. The little girl bowed her head and saluted very straight, "I wish uncle good luck in his work and good fortune.

I wish the old lady eternal youth and a smile on her face.”

After saying that, she winked playfully, which made Lou Xiao'e laugh so hard that she quickly took out a red envelope from her bag and handed it to her, her eyes full of love.

Next came the little nephew Zhang Hao. Although he was younger, he was not at all stage-frightened.

He knelt down on the mat and kowtowed, saying, "I wish my uncle and aunt lots of money.

And... and Day Day Up!" After saying that, he deliberately added a big smiley face, which made all the adults present laugh. Lou Xiao'e was even more so, she couldn't stop smiling, handed over another red envelope, and gently pinched Zhang Hao's little face."

Xu Damao teased, "You have grasped the point, kid. Your aunt and I will only get bigger red envelopes if we have more money. As for Day Day Up, you should keep it for yourself."

There was laughter in the room again.
