When I told her the news that Mi Cai's mother was going to visit her, her face suddenly became low. She put down the chopsticks and the bowl in her hand, and was silent for a long time before saying to me: "Zhaoyang, the matter about my parents has always been a pain in my heart, so I never want to mention it to anyone... I don't want to meet her in my heart, at least at this stage."

"I understand, so I have never asked you... But we are not living in seclusion in the mountains and forests. As long as she wants to find her, she will definitely have a way to find us. We have to meet her anyway."

"Do you think so?"

This time I was the one who was silent. After a long time, I raised my head and said to Mi Cai seriously: "Well, because I want to marry you, I hope to get her recognition and blessings, so that we can be perfectly together."

"There is no perfection between us, why do you need her to fulfill our perfection?...Let's have a meal, Zhaoyang, have a good rest after eating. For me, your health and career are the most important thing."

I didn't want to touch her reverse scale again, so I nodded and said, "I understand."

......

After dinner, I took a simple hot shower and lay back on the bed. Mi Cai wore an apron in the kitchen, washing the dishes we had just eaten, and then went to the bathroom to wash. After a while, she entered the room in her pajamas. I was afraid that I would sweat, so I slept with her on a quilt. She seemed to have no thoughts and looked at the information on the civil service exam. I didn't want to fall asleep, so I waited patiently...

She finally looked at me and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"I have something to worry about."

Mi Cai put down the information in her hand, held her chin and looked at me, and asked, "What's the matter?...I won't mess with you today, you're still sick!"

"Just be self-indulgent, who will be with you?"

Mi Cai seemed to be deliberately making fun of me, and said with a smile: "It is a glorious thing to work while sick and go to school while sick. I don't know if it is also glorious if you are sick and loving? Alas! I'm afraid that some people are powerless, so I deliberately say that I am self-indulgent to cover up myself!"

I was completely dissatisfied when she said, and said with a deep expression: "You can tell if you are powerless or not!"

Mi Cai touched my head like a doting child and said with a smile: "Okay, okay... I won't joke with you. Just tell me if you have any worries. Although I know you can hold it in a good way, don't hold it in a bad way, I will feel distressed!"

Seeing her doting on me, the mood of getting married suddenly surged, and I finally said to her softly: "Let's get married. You promised my proposal a long time ago, but you have been hindered by this and that. Now we really have no reason to drag it on. I am very worried that there will be more dreams at night!"

"Actually, we are already living a life after marriage, and the only difference is only two marriage certificates and one wedding."

"Can you get married?"

Mi Cai nodded and replied, "Since I returned to Xuzhou with you, I have been waiting for you to give me a title. I can't propose to you, after all, I'm not a woman like a man."

My emotions reached the peak in an instant, and I sat up from the bed, held her hand tightly, and said in vain: "Then tomorrow, when Dad Ban and my mother come back, we will tell them the news. If they agree, we will choose a good day to get the certificate from the Civil Affairs Bureau, and the wedding will be held later, okay?"

Mi Cai nodded with pain on her face. Only then did I realize that I almost used all my strength to hold her hand, and quickly let it go, and then smiled at her embarrassedly. Mi Cai shook her hand and said, "You, why are you so excited!"

"Can I not be excited? I have been waiting for 27 years, and today I finally waited for the day when I was going to get married. Even if it has not been implemented, I have to use this excitement to remember it for the rest of my life."

Mi Cai shook her head and smiled, then her face became serious again. She said to me: "Zhaoyang, my household registration is still on my uncle's household registration. If we want to get a marriage certificate, we must go back to Suzhou once and get the household registration book so that we can have the conditions to register for marriage!"

I suddenly became nervous again and asked, "He won't make things difficult for you in this matter, will he?"

"Probably not. After all, I have come to Xuzhou with you, and is my niece still important in his heart?... Of course, he will not control my marriage! Our kinship has long been dead in name only!"

I nodded and said, "He can't even control Milan's marriage, so why should he interfere with your marriage!"

......

The next day, Mr. Ban and his mother returned from visiting relatives in the countryside early in the morning. They brought a lot of bacon and sausages, and I also felt the strong New Year atmosphere from these foods that are necessary for the New Year. Because with Mi Cai by my side, I look forward to this year's New Year's Eve dinner. Because the family can sit together and chat and drink. Thinking about it, I already feel drunk. Maybe after Mr. Ban will drink too much, he will generously give me and Mi Cai a big red envelope. I will use the money in the red envelope to buy a set of clothes or bags for Mi Cai. Let's visit relatives and friends together and talk to relatives and friends about their feelings in the past year...

My head is not sick, but I just thought a lot of things like bored, and I didn’t feel tired no matter how I thought about it, but I was content with myself... But I thought of Jian Wei for no reason, and remembered how she should summarize this year, worried that anyone around her could accompany her to spend this new year of family reunion?... My mood suddenly became deeper again!...Jan Wei is really heartbreaking!

My mother cooked a little grass chicken brought back from the countryside into soup, which was my breakfast with Micai and I. Compared to the past, this was obviously a thoughtful breakfast. Although Micai and I were not very accustomed to eating meat in the morning, we were still attracted by the fragrance. After washing up, the two sat at the dining table and waited early.

After a while, my mother brought three bowls of chicken soup and gave it to me, Micai and Ban Dad. She ate the millet porridge left over from Micai and Micai yesterday. Micai was dissatisfied and wanted to give her her chicken soup, but she refused and told Micai: Eating chicken soup with pancakes is the most distinctive and nutritious way to eat in Xuzhou.

Seeing that she and Mi Cai are getting more and more harmonious, I feel that the time is ripe. After coughing, I attracted their attention, and said solemnly: "Dad, mom, don't be busy having breakfast. Mi Cai and I have a very important thing to announce to you!"

Dad Ban and his mother looked at each other, and at the same time put down the chopsticks in their hands, looking at the solemnity on Mi Cai and me with confusion. I gently touched Mi Cai under my feet, indicating that she would announce this moment that can be used as a historic moment in our lives.
