It is a very formal and grand thing to recognize ganqin in Haizhou.

Only between friends with excellent relationship, or when they meet the younger generation who they like very much, can they recognize the next relationship, and after the recognition of the relationship, it will basically last for a lifetime.

When the post-80s and post-90s grew up, they dealt with this kind of relationship more casually. Sometimes, before a child was born, they had found a bunch of parents. However, in Haizhou in the last century, there was rarely a child with several parents, or an adult with several sons or daughters. Generally speaking, a child only There is a godfather and a godmother. An elder has only one son or daughter at most. The older generation attaches great importance to this relationship. To some extent, it is much more important than the Western Godfather.

Haizhou people attach great importance to commitment, not only to the formal marriage, but also to the brotherhood among friends. They do not worship at will. They should not only have the right feelings, but also pay attention to commitment and rules. If their parents and grandparents die, they should wear filial piety according to the rules, but also to filial piety. Unlike children in their thirties and fourths years later There are dozens of hundreds of brothers, but they worship at will and get along with each other at will. If they keep in touch ten years later, one or two will be good.

When Li Mu and Li Ziwei went home together, they called their mother. Mom and dad didn't expect Li Mu to go home ahead of time, so they hurriedly started to arrange dinner and answered Li Mu's phone. Li Ma suddenly got nervous and asked Li PA, "what do you say if Ziwei isn't happy?"

Li Pa said, "I don't think so."

Li Ma said, "I don't know, but I don't know the bottom of my heart. We've never known girls before, and we don't know what the rules are in Ziwei's hometown."

Li Pa said with a smile, "as long as the girl agrees, we will follow the rules of the other side of the family. Besides, the girl may not dare to directly agree. It must be discussed with her parents."

Li Ma nodded and said, "Ziwei's parents are still very good people. At first glance, they are standard intellectuals. It seems that they are all teachers, right?"

"Ziwei's mother is a teacher, and she has retired. Her father is an official of their local education bureau. But in the early years, it was the people's teacher. Later, she was transferred to the Education Committee. When I saw Ziwei last time, her father said that he was going to leave, too."

During the Spring Festival, as Li Mu's personal assistant, Li Ziwei has been following Li Mu all the time. In order to make her reunite with her family, Li Mu specially invited her parents to Haizhou for the Spring Festival. Li PA, Li Ma and Li Ziwei's parents had several days of contact. They had a good impression on them, especially on Li Ziwei.

Li Ziwei was born into an intellectual family. Her parents were the last batch of college students who had been admitted to university by their real talents before the cultural revolution. After graduation, both of them devoted themselves to the education industry. They were busy in the field of education for half their lives. Both of them were very good in character, temperament, knowledge and conversation.

Li Ma said with a smile, "if Ziwei's parents agree, six of our families will have dinner together sometime, and we will have a girl later."

"It's just Li, just like my daughter..."

Li Ma nodded, "yes, they are all from your old Li family."

Li PA nodded and smiled, and said, "before you have a son, you always want a daughter in your dreams. If you are a daughter, I'm afraid you won't have the achievement of our son today!"

Li Ma shook her head and said, "if Xiaomu is really a girl, I can't bear her hard work. When she graduated from college, she would go home to be a civil servant, have a stable job, and don't marry far away, so she can accompany us more."

After that, Li Ma said: "you see now, your son hasn't graduated from university and runs around the world all day long. I'm afraid that I can't see him for several times in a year. No matter how great the achievements are, it's hard for the three of us to get together?"? Achievements are made for outsiders. The happiest day for a family is to keep one's face. "

"You are right." Li PA nodded and sighed, "in the future, I have to persuade my son to have more children!"

……

Li Mu didn't tell Li Ziwei about her mother's willingness to recognize her as a daughter, but she thought all the way in her heart.

In his last life, Li Mu often listened to his mother's exclamation. He envied others who had daughters, especially those who kept them by his side. Even when he became a family, he could meet each other every day. After he had children, his parents could help to take them with every day, and the life of the old couple was full.

Unlike her, her son can go back three or two times a year when he is away from home all year round, and every time, he only has a few days to come and go in a hurry. Before he can be a mother, his son will go again.

Life in the last life is not in this order. Mama Li has worked hard for most of her life. When she gets old, her son can't stay by her side. It's sad for her.

Li Mu always thinks that he owes his parents a lot, but he is struggling with life and reality and fails to fulfill his obligations as a good son. At that time, whenever he heard that his mother has a fever and a cold, Li Mu felt very sorry. He usually didn't accompany her. He had a headache and fever and couldn't go home to take care of her. At that time, Li Mu often fantasized that if he had a sister, or It's nice to have a sister who can watch her parents at home.Just because I always know my mother's regret, Li Mu has no objection to the fact that she wants to recognize Li Ziwei as a daughter. On the contrary, in his heart, he supports this matter very much. The only hope is that his parents can treat Li Ziwei sincerely and exchange her sincere feedback. In that way, it can make up for the mother's inner one Sorry.

When the two returned to Ziyun villa, Li PA and Li Ma were still busy in the kitchen. As soon as Li Ziwei got home, she hurried to the kitchen to help him. She took Li PA's job and said that she would not let him work again. In her words, "I'll work with my aunt in the kitchen. Uncle, please go and chat with Mr. Li."

"Li Ma said with a smile," your uncle probably wanted to go out and smoke for a long time. He is addicted to smoking

Li Ziwei said: "although it's very difficult to quit smoking, my uncle usually tries to smoke less. I'll go back to my friend and bring you some nicotine gum. When you want to smoke, you can chew two. It can reduce the intake of cigarette oil."

"And this kind of thing?" Li asked curiously? "

Li Ziwei nodded and said:" it has been sold for a long time in the U.S. market. It's FDA certified and safe. Its principle is actually the same as that of people's dependence on tobacco. You are addicted to smoking, but you are only addicted to nicotine, but you are not addicted to tobacco tar. If you are addicted to smoking, you need to take nicotine. Nicotine gum is added with naturally extracted nicotine Ding, but there is no tobacco tar, so it's much healthier. After all, the most harmful elements in tobacco tar are various elements and heavy metals. "

Said Li Ziwei: "and that thing can reduce your dependence on cigarettes, while using it, while reducing the amount of smoking, after a period of time may be able to give up smoking completely."

As soon as Li Ma heard this, she said in a hurry, "it's very reliable! Lao Li, I'll ask Ziwei to buy some for you later. "

"If I can quit without pain, I'm sure I have no problem. In fact, I also want to quit. After smoking for so many years, I can't quit at once."

Li Ma nodded and said with a smile, "OK, I know what virtue you are. If you want to smoke, you can smoke one in the yard."

"Li Pa said with a smile:" OK, then you are busy living, I steal a lazy

When Li PA came out of the kitchen, Li Mu was checking the mail through the laptop in the living room. Li PA took out a cigarette from his pocket and said to Li Mu, "son, go out and have a cigarette."

Because I know that Li Mu occasionally smokes, and Li PA sometimes throws a cigarette for Li Mu, and the two smoke together, but Li Mu has almost no addiction to cigarettes, so he smokes much less than him.

Li Mu put down the computer and went to the yard with his father. The weather in Yanjing began to warm in April. The two men sat down on the wooden bench beside the villa yard. Li Dad took out two cigarettes and handed Li Mu a cigarette. Li Mu took the lighter from his father's hand and helped his father light the cigarette first, which lit the one he was holding.

After smoking two cigarettes, Dad Li pointed to a small vegetable field that had been opened in the yard and said proudly, "look, your father hasn't planted the field in 30 years. It looks like a kind of thing."

Li Mu helplessly looked at the ridges of land in the yard and said with a smile, "at your age, is growing vegetables particularly fulfilling?"

"Not only a sense of achievement, but also nostalgia and freedom," Li said with a smile

As he said it, Li dad sighed: "when I was a child, I was not in such a mood to farm. When I was a child, I was lazy. Your grandmother forced me to work in the field with a stick. At that time, apart from going to school, I was doing farm work, so I never thought that farming was a kind of enjoyment. Every day, I thought about how to get rid of the loess land. So I picked up your grandfather's off class mine after graduation from high school But it's hard for your uncle. I put your grandfather's work on top. He can't read and read, so he can only farm in his hometown. Sometimes when I think about it, I always think it's not right for him. "

Li Mu nodded and said, "but you have been trying your best to help my uncle for so many years. Now he has a good life and will be better in the future."

Li PA smiled: "yes, it's much better now."

Speaking of this, Li Pa said: "your uncle just got rid of the Loess field. I've been away from the Loess field for 30 years. Now you let your uncle plant the land. He's afraid that ten thousand people would not like it, but I'd like to make a plot of three parts of the land. When those peppers, eggplants and tomatoes grow up, they will be green and green, and they will be happy to see it.". In another ten or eight years, I'll go with your mother to find a spring like place with four seasons to build a house and rent some fields. In addition to planting vegetables, we can also plant fruits and melons to see your future sons and daughters, what they like to eat, and what I'll plant with your mother... "

Li Mu suddenly came up with an idea and said, "Dad, I'd like to buy you a piece of land in the northern suburb of Yanjing. I'd like to find a good place near the mountains and rivers, buy a piece of land to build a villa, and then open a few acres of land to get an orchard, a greenhouse and a flower house. Later, I can take over my grandparents!"
