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

Time flies so fast, and it’s already the sixth day of the New Year.

During these few days, Lou Xiao'e rediscovered how talkative and kind her mother-in-law and her family are.

In order to provide good logistical support, the eldest sister-in-law has not returned to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings yet. The second sister and her family should have returned long ago, but for this rare family reunion, they all accompanied Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e until the sixth day of the New Year.

In fact, at the beginning, Lou Xiao'e had no plan to stay long. She just wanted to stay for one or two nights and then go back, but after getting along with them for so long, she couldn't bear to go back.

There is no banquet that will last forever. After all, we all have our own lives to live.

The mother-in-law looked at her children packing up their things and sighed, "They all left in a flash, leaving only the two of us old people to look after the house."

The eldest sister-in-law quickly took over the mother-in-law's words and said, "When our family is busy in the future, I will stay at the back. It will be difficult for you to have peace and quiet."

"Yes, mom, my elder brother and his wife will be back in two days. I live close to home, so I can come back whenever I want, right?

The only ones who are missing are Damao and Xiao'e, who are usually busy with work and can only come during holidays." Xu Daye said with a smile.

"As long as my parents don't mind, Damao and I will come back often in the future. It's Sunday now. When the weather gets warmer, it will be more convenient for us to come back by bicycle." Lou Xiao'e expressed her opinion.

"No, no, what parent would dislike their children for being annoying? As long as you don't interfere with our own affairs, you can come back whenever you want, and mom will make dumplings for you."

"Mom, what you said really hits the nail on the head.

Every time I go home, it is my greatest happiness to eat the dumplings you made yourself.

But, Mom, we also want to help you share some housework. You and Dad are getting older, so you need to take good care of your health." Xu Daye's eyes were full of concern.

"My dear girls, it is enough for you to have this heart.

Mom can still do this little chores at home, but you guys are working hard out there, so you really need to take care of yourself.

When you come back, Mom will prepare a delicious meal for you. It is better for our family to be happy than anything else. "The mother-in-law's words were full of love.

Just like that, the family said goodbye reluctantly and left.

The figures of my parents-in-law stood outside the gate until they were out of sight.

"Thank you, wife." Xu Damao said, waving the whip in his hand.

"Da Mao, actually I also want to say thank you, but now I don't want to say it anymore, because we are a family, and family members should have forgiveness, tolerance, and more love, right?

No one is perfect, and no one can guarantee that they will never make mistakes, but as long as they can correct their mistakes in time, they are good comrades. "

Xu Damao thought about Lou Xiao'e's words and couldn't help thinking of his past self. He had made too many mistakes...

The life that I always thought was a life of just getting by if I could, and breaking up if I couldn't, seemed so narrow-minded and selfish in the face of Lou Xiao'e's openness and tolerance.

He suddenly realized how important change was.

"Wife, you are right. I used to be too self-righteous. I always thought my decisions were right, but I ignored the feelings of the people around me.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a better husband and a better family member." Xu Damao's tone was full of sincerity and gratitude, and his eyes became more determined.

Many years later, whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Xu Damao would be grateful for the moment that made him wake up. It was Lou Xiao'e's tolerance and love that made him grow from a stubborn person to a husband and father who knew how to cherish and be grateful.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the first month of the year is over.

March 1962, 3 (the second day of the second lunar month)

Dragon looking up

It is early spring, and nature is gradually waking up from its winter slumber. All things are reviving and showing vitality.

Today is Lou Xiaoe’s birthday.

Xu Damao got up early and made a bowl of longevity noodles for his wife.

The noodles were long and thin, wrapped in steam, as if carrying his deep blessings and love for Lou Xiao'e. He sprinkled chopped green onions and dripped a few drops of sesame oil, pouring his endless cherishment and gratitude for his daughter-in-law into every step.

On the dining table, a bunch of wild flowers picked by hand bloomed quietly. Although not expensive, they were fresh and natural.

Lou Xiao'e took the chopsticks and took a slurp. "Oh my god! Is my way of eating not in line with the atmosphere?" Lou Xiao'e asked a little embarrassedly.

"No way, this longevity noodle should be eaten as you like, your happiness is the most important thing." Xu Damao said, putting a peeled egg into Lou Xiaoe's bowl, and continued: "Besides, your straightforward look is exactly what I like most.

In our family, there is no need to stick to formalities. Being relaxed and comfortable is the best way of life.

Lou Xiao'e took a bite of the egg and said, "Xu Damao, I find that you are becoming more and more to my taste."

Hearing this, Xu Damao leaned closer and said, "If it suits your taste, eat more..."

Lou Xiao'e pushed his big face away and said, "I'm talking about noodles."

"I was talking about noodles too..."

After laughing and joking, the couple returned to Lou's house.

At noon, Tan Yali personally prepared a table of her daughter's favorite dishes.

Lou Bancheng looked at his daughter and son-in-law's happy faces and said reluctantly, "Zhao Zhao, Damao, your mother and I have decided to leave in two days.

This house has been sold and the family property has been almost cleared out.

I don’t know when I’ll be back after this trip, you two…” Lou Bancheng paused for a moment, and then said, “Your mother and I have already said what needs to be said. You two take care of yourself, and our family will surely get together someday.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry. Damao and I will take good care of ourselves and keep the house in order. Although we are reluctant to leave you, we also know that this is the right decision.

We will wait for you to come back home."

After Lou Xiao'e finished speaking, she was already in tears.

Lou Bancheng nodded with tears in his eyes. He was well aware of his daughter's growth and understanding.

He patted Xu Damao on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Damo, Zhaozhao is now in your hands.

She is straightforward and sometimes impulsive, so you need to be more tolerant and guide her. When we are not around, you are her support. "

Xu Damao nodded solemnly and said, "Dad and Mom, don't worry, I will use all of my strength to love and protect Xiao'e and never let her suffer any injustice."

Tan Yali was standing aside, already in tears.

She gently stroked her daughter's hair and said softly, "Zhao Zhao, remember to take good care of yourself and don't let your parents worry..."

A family of four sat around the dining table, the atmosphere filled with sadness.

After dinner, the Lou family began to get busy, packing their luggage and preparing everything they needed for the journey.

Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao helped on the side and enjoyed this rare parent-child time.

As night falls, the Lou family's house is brightly lit, but it can't hide the sadness of the impending separation.

"Mom..." Lou Xiao'e's cry tore a hole in the tranquility of the night. She hugged Tan Yali tightly, as if she wanted to engrave this warm embrace in her heart forever. "I don't want you to leave. I want you to stay. I want to be with you and Dad."

Her mother, Tan Yali, patted her back gently, tears glistening in her eyes, but her voice was unusually firm: "Silly child, mother and father will be back soon."

Lou Bancheng walked forward, put one hand on Lou Xiao'e's shoulder, and held his wife Tan Yali's hand with the other hand. The three of them seemed to have become an inseparable whole at this moment.

"Zhao Zhao, remember, no matter where your parents go, we will always be your strongest support.

Come back, my daughter will definitely make us proud."

Xu Damao picked up Lou Xiaoe, who was crying uncontrollably, said goodbye to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and walked towards their small home.
