Chapter 815: who is your dad
Chapter 815 Who is your dad?
"Don't make trouble," Li Lei said, "We're almost there."
"Uncle Haichao, are you almost there?" Xia Ling raised her voice and asked Xia Haichao.
Xia Haichao looked at the young couple and said happily: "There are at least three miles of land left."
Xia Ling: "...Li Lei, please let me down."
Li Lei: "I can still carry it. I'll let you down when I can't carry it anymore." Just kidding, even Zhu knew it was a test when he looked at Xia Haichao. How could he dare to let Xia Ling down? When you visit your father-in-law's house for the first time, you must behave well. Otherwise, what should you do if your father-in-law refuses to marry your daughter to him in anger?
No matter how painful and tiring it is, classmate Li Xiaolei can only endure it with tears.
Xia Ling's two calves kicked randomly in mid-air as a protest, but in the end she couldn't resist Li Lei, so she obediently let him carry her. The mountain road was long. Li Lei walked slowly but steadily step by step. He still had time to joke with Xia Ling: "Daughter-in-law, is your husband handsome, mighty or domineering?"
Xia Ling originally wanted to say, who is your wife?
But seeing the faint stains of sweat on his body, a thousand words turned into a soft "hmm".
“That’s it?” Li Xiaolei was dissatisfied.
Xia Ling: "Then what else do you want?"
Classmate Li Xiaolei thought for a while: "Sing me a song."
Xia Ling: "Aren't you childish? How old are you? You still listen to songs while walking."
Li Lei felt aggrieved: "You have never sung specifically for me." It is true that she is a queen, but so many of the songs she sings are for others. At least she wrote a PERFECTDREAM song for Pei Ziheng in her previous life, but what about this life? There isn't even a song for the two of them.
Li Lei thought for a while, "How about I sing a song for you?"
Xia Ling broke out in a cold sweat: "Don't!" It's not like she had never heard Master BOSS's singing voice, the kind that would make a group of singers from Tianyi run away after hearing it. It's okay if he usually sings, but now he's singing on the Xia family's territory? She still wants to be embarrassed.
She said resignedly: "Okay, I'll sing it to you."
After thinking about it, I chose a popular song in recent years: "That year the branches were full of flowers, you stood on the small bridge and the water flowed empty... That year the swallows danced and the orioles flew, and you painted the Shimen Ancient Post like a drunken person. …The flowers are so dazzling in midsummer that they cannot be more beautiful than your eyebrows. There are piles of Sichuan embroidery and brocade. If you look back and smile, three thousand worlds will be reduced to ashes..."
The song is melodious, echoing on the somewhat dark mountain road, far and near, endlessly.
In the mist in the forest, birds flew out and surrounded them in flocks.
Everyone was immersed in her beautiful singing. Even Aunt Liu temporarily forgot her calculations and ridicule. The nearby tribesmen put down their work and talked to each other: "Look over there... Do you see it? It's a phoenix, really. The phoenix is back! Only in the stories passed down by our ancestors can we see this kind of 'birds paying homage to the phoenix'!"
"It's really a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix!" The tribesmen were all excited, but they didn't dare to make any noise. They were mesmerized by her singing, immersed in the wonderful music, and their hearts were filled with reverence for the phoenix.
Li Lei was carrying Xia Ling on his back. As she sang, his steps gradually became brisk and he seemed less tired. He felt like he could walk another ten miles. There was a faint sense of pride in his heart. Sure enough, his own Xiao Ling was the best singer. She was the most perfect existence in the world.
All the way up the mountain.
At the top of the mountain, Li Lei put Xia Ling down.
Xia Ling stopped singing and looked up at the courtyard not far away - shrouded in clouds and mist, the buildings with wood and stone structures, blue bricks and black tiles were magnificent and solemn, rolling along the mountains. At a rough glance, the scale was not small. Ancient buildings in any tourist area.
On the plaque in front of the door, the simple words "Heaven and Earth Palace" are clearly visible.
"This is the residence of the clan leader and his wife, as well as Young Master Mo Yan and Young Master Shao Hui." Xia Haichao told them, "Please follow me." Xia Ling glanced sideways at Li Lei, and Li Lei shook his hand gently He held her hand and gave her a reassuring smile. He led her in and walked through the quiet front yard. Under the porch, someone hurriedly greeted her - the leader was an old man with gray hair, followed by a well-dressed woman, and next to him was Xia Mo Yan and Shaohui.
Xia Ling stopped.
Almost instinctively, she realized who the old man was—
“Daddy!” she choked, calling out all at once.
The old man's face was still calm at first, but after hearing this call, he could no longer hold it in. He quickly responded: "Xiao Ling!" and hurriedly walked down the steps.
Xia Ling let go of Li Lei's hand, ran towards the old man, and hugged him tightly.
Fellowship is so wonderful. Even if a lifetime passes, even if the father and daughter have never met, in the vast sea of people, for many years, they can accurately identify each other with just one look.
A family united by the same spirit.
"Dad..." Xia Ling's voice was filled with tears. In her father's generous embrace, all the suffering and grievances she had suffered in her two lifetimes came to mind, as well as the longing for her family...
"Good boy, my good boy," Patriarch Xia's voice was choked with sobs. The old man's eyes were red, as the old man who had never changed his face even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him said, "My Ling'er, you have suffered so much. My father has finally waited for you..."
The two father and daughter were crying and laughing.
Besides, the elegant woman also came forward and wiped her tears: "Xiao Ling."
Xia Ling left her father's arms, looked at the woman, cried again, and threw herself into her arms: "Mom!"
“Xiao Ling!” The woman also burst into tears and hugged her daughter tightly.
The family that had been separated for decades was finally reunited. Patriarch Xia and his wife looked at Xia Ling from head to toe, but couldn't get enough of it. "You are alone outside and don't know how to take good care of yourself. Look, why are you so thin?" Mrs. Xia said to Xia Ling with pity.
Xia Ling smiled shyly and told her not to worry, she was in good health.
Mother and daughter started chatting about their daily routine without realizing it.
Patriarch Xia, who couldn't say anything, turned his head and realized that there was a young man standing not far away: "Are you Li Lei?" His eyes narrowed slightly, like all father-in-laws looking at their future son-in-law. That way, you are always being picky.
Li Lei's skin tensed up, fearing that he might be disrespectful at all, so he carefully answered: "It's me, Dad."
“Who is your dad?!” Like Xia Moyan when he was called brother for the first time, Clan Chief Xia also felt that this brat was too familiar with himself and did not regard him as an outsider.
Li Lei bit the bullet, and he was not going to compromise on the issue of principle: "Xiao Ling's family is my family, and Xiao Ling's father is my father."
Clan Chief Xia: “…”
Xia Moyan whispered from the side: "Father, have you seen this? This kid just needs a lesson."
