The vacation time passed quickly.

The day after we came to the beach villa for vacation, Xu's father and Xu's mother also drove there.

One is to go on vacation together. I came here to help Xiaomi’s mother pack her things and prepare to return to Zhengcheng.

Father An's job became busier during the holidays, so he didn't come with him.

"mom!"

"mom."

When Father Xu and Mother Xu arrived, An Xiaomi and Liu Ningqing almost shouted in unison.

"Hey! Mom misses you so much, come and show her."

Xu's mother happily walked over, touched An Xiaomi's head, and then asked Liu Ningqing's body carefully.

"Yaya is here too. Does she look taller?"

Xu's mother also pinched Bai Yaya's head, which made Bai Yaya's face flush.

"aunt."

Ye Luojia stood behind everyone, waiting for them all to say hello, and then greeted them politely.

"Jiajia, before I came here, I heard from Zhimu that you were here too. You are usually so busy at work, so you should come and relax together."

When Xu's mother saw Ye Luojia, she no longer felt as alienated as before, and walked over with a smile.

After all, from now on it is her daughter-in-law, and her son is the one causing trouble. What she, a mother, can do is to keep this big family harmonious and not become a powder keg.

"Uh-huh."

Ye Luojia nodded, thinking that a major event in his life would soon be determined.

She felt excited and anxious.

"Zhimu, did you buy this villa again?"

Father Xu looked at this magnificent villa, looking back and forth. He never thought that he, an ordinary working-class person, could one day live in such a magnificent seaside villa.

Xu Zhimu nodded: "It's not too far from the school and the environment is good. I can bring them here to stay for two days during the holidays."

Saying that, Xu Zhimu smiled again: "Dad, let me tell you that you and my mother should stop working. Why don't we live here? We usually go to the beach to set up a stall and buy some swimming rings, swimsuits, trunks and the like. The income

It’s much better than working at work, the environment is nice and life is comfortable.”

Xu's father clicked his tongue and shook his head: "Forget it, your mother and I are used to working and living in Zhengcheng. We have been Central Plains people all our lives. We must have rheumatism to come to the sea to take care of our elderly. We'll stay with you in our hometown.

Let’s take one-third of an acre of land.”

Xu's father waved his hand. In front of outsiders, he was more proud of his son's current achievements than anyone else, but in front of his own family, he still liked the life he was accustomed to.

Neither arrogant nor impetuous, this is the stability of an old man.

"Dad, I have something else I want to tell you."

Xu Zhimu looked at his mother who was surrounded by girls, and then pulled his father aside.

"Are you kidding something good?"

Xu's father has also been frightened by his son for the past two or three years. He always does something beyond his knowledge.

"How about saying that a son is better than a father?"

Xu Zhimu chuckled.

Father Xu's mouth twitched, and the two of them came to the backyard: "Okay, okay, tell me what you want to say quickly."

"Dad, I won't beat around the bush with you. I plan to hold a wedding with Jiajia. For the specific time and preparations, I would like to ask you and mom to go to Kyoto to talk to Jiajia's father."

Xu Zhimu directly expressed his thoughts.

Xu's father was actually mentally prepared for the incident, but he was also shocked on the outside and tender on the inside.

He stood for a while, stretched out his hands and rubbed his face, looking helpless as a middle-aged man.

He touched his arms and wanted to smoke a cigarette to calm down.

But I remembered that on the way to Binhai, Xu's mother confiscated all the cigarettes on his body because she was worried that his smoking would expose the little girls to second-hand smoke.

When Xu Zhimu saw his father's action, he immediately took out a pack of cigarettes from his body. Although he didn't smoke, he always had a pack ready for meetings so that he could talk.

"Come on dad, my son will order some for you."

Xu Zhimu smiled and took out the cigarette and handed it over. Father Xu felt a little speechless at this moment.

But I still took it and took a sip.

He blew out a puff of cigarette and calmed down before saying, "Have you told your mother about this?"

"Not yet. You are the head of the family. I am going to open up the family tree of our old Xu family. Of course, I have to ask you what you want first."

"Come on, stop flattering me."

Father Xu glared at him, but these words still made this middle-aged man feel a little bit happy.

After all, men, especially men with traditional thinking, are still very keen on carrying on the family line and having more children and grandchildren.

"I heard you say that the only child in Jiajia's family is her father?"

"Well, Jiajia's mother passed away due to illness many years ago. Speaking of which, her experience with Qingqing is quite similar. The only difference is that she is not short of money, but she is even more lacking of love."

Xu Zhimu's words made Xu's father silent for a while.

In fact, whether it is Liu Ningqing, An Xiaomi or Ye Luojia.

Any one of them is a good girl with no faults. If Xu Zhimu can marry one of them, it will be a great achievement.

Moreover, they knew about Liu Ningqing's life experience, and she was now pregnant with the Xu family's flesh and blood.

No matter what, they cannot be sorry to Liu Ningqing.

Father Xu took another puff of cigarette: "What are you going to do in the future? The wedding can be held, but who will you register with in the end? What will you do if relatives come during the holidays?"

"Dad, do you think the wedding is more important, or the piece of paper?"

Xu Zhimu asked back.

"Of course they are all important. This is a guarantee."

After Father Xu answered, Xu Zhimu continued.

"Actually, this thing only started with your generation. Back then, my grandparents still had arranged marriages. We didn't even see each other once before we got married. Didn't they live a good life afterwards?"

"How do you compare with their time?"

Father Xu said angrily.

In that era, let alone a marriage certificate, many people even saw their significant other for the first time when entering the bridal chamber.

Just like opening a blind box, if you say something to the neighboring village, the most you can do is ask the team leader, village chief or the like to come over and say some auspicious words, put two tables on it, and you are officially married.

"Times are different, but the principles are the same. Whether you get married or get a certificate, it is not necessary. For now, the certificate only restricts the lowest legal bottom line, but it cannot restrict people's hearts. My feelings with them

No need for a piece of paper to prove it.”

Xu Zhimu said calmly and smiled: "Of course I know what you and mom are thinking. Qingqing is the girl I actively provoke and she is also my favorite. No matter what, she will always be my wife.

I will also give her everything she wants."

Father Xu listened and didn't know what to say for a moment. If Xu Zhimu was just an ordinary person.

Then he will definitely show the dignity of an old father and make him make a choice even with the seven wolves.

But now Xu Zhimu can take charge alone, and many things that ordinary people cannot understand are no longer impossible for Xu Zhimu.

Therefore, Father Xu could only sigh in the end.

He said: "Your mother and I are both old, and now we just want to see you start a family, wait for your grandchildren to be born, and live a good life in peace and stability.

When you grow up, we will no longer care about what you want to do. Your mother and I will take care of the relatives at home.

But you have to handle the matters between you and them yourself."

Xu's father threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground and stamped it out. Xu Zhimu nodded.

"Don't worry, Dad."

…

Two days later.

Xu Zhimu took his parents, and Ye Luojia on the plane to Kyoto.

Xu's father and Xu's mother knew that the other party was a big shot. Although they were half in-laws, they still felt a little unsure when they really wanted to meet him.

"Son, do you think your father and I should go shopping for some clothes?"

Xu's mother felt that it was the first time she visited the house and the other party was a big shot, so she couldn't embarrass her child.

"No, you usually wear fine clothes. Relax, I'm not nervous. Why are you nervous?"

Xu Zhimu responded with a smile.
