Villain: Madam, would you like to dine with me tonight?

"It's all here, what do you think?"

Cao Bin was helpless.

This is the third time Xi Ning has asked this question today.

"Didn't you agree to this before, so you don't want me to go?"

"No...I'm...I'm afraid you won't get used to it if you go there."

"I think you just don't want me to go and take me to meet your family, right?"

"I didn't~" Xi Ning waved her hands in frustration.

"You have it!"

"???"

"Don't you want to go in and take the car?"

"If you don't want to go into the station, just wait here~" Xi Ning whispered.

"Why take the bus? High-speed rail and flights are not much more expensive, and trains are cheaper, right?"

Xi Ning shook her head but said nothing.

At this time, a double-decker bus from 'Magic City - Star City' stopped in front of the two of them.

The car door opened, Xi Ning smiled and shouted softly to the bald driver: "Dad~"

"!!!!!!"

Cao Bin was shocked.

No wonder we have to take a bus, and the person driving the car is my father-in-law!

"Hey~ Xi Ning is here, get on the bus quickly, I've reserved a seat for you, Li, please leave it alone, daddy will help you move~"

"No, I can do it myself."

Of course Cao Bin would not let go of this opportunity.

Just stretch out your hand and get it done.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier that it was our dad's car!"

After complaining softly, he pushed Xi Ning into the car like a gentleman and greeted the bald man.

"Hello, uncle, my name is Cao Bin, and I am..."

"Boyfriend, right? Xiao Xi has told me, boy, this is the first time I have seen Xiao Xi bring someone home, so you have to be nice to my Xiao Xi. If you dare to bully her, we will not forgive you. !”

As he spoke, the uncle stretched out his hand to hold Cao Bin's hand.

"Of course uncle, don't worry I will treat her well~"

The uncle’s hands were covered with calluses and were very hard.

Cao Bin felt a little chilled in his heart.

This felt all too familiar to him.

When he was a child, his two uncles would reach out and touch his face every time they teased him.

Cao Bin, who felt prickly calluses on his hands every time, wanted to curse.

As far as the eye can see, there is indeed a thick yellow callus on the circle where the big brother's right thumb connects to the tiger's mouth.

At a glance, the joint of the index finger is even more obvious.

Just like his second uncle.

The circle of the tiger's mouth is formed by holding the gun for a long time.

The knuckle of the index finger is fed by the bullet when the trigger is pulled!

The person in front of him is either a murderous desperado or a veteran.

The first-line melee troops have to retreat.

It is normal to have calluses on the tiger's mouth in the army, but there are not many soldiers who can feed the calluses on their index fingers with bullets!

Of course, it could also be a professional shooter.

But it is difficult for athletes to have that kind of indescribable aura.

Cao Bin believed that Yi Xining's aura could not be so harmonious and harmonious with a desperado, so he could only be a veteran.

When they sat down, Cao Bin teased Xi Ning: "With my dad's aura, no one would dare to rob him as a driver."

"Our dad?"

"Isn't that right? Isn't your dad my dad? Of course, if you don't think it's appropriate, I can call you eldest brother! You call me dad and I call you brother. We can do whatever we want without delaying our relationship."

Xi Ning pouted slightly in resentment, muttering like a doormat: "Don't think I don't know that you just want to take advantage of me."

Cao Binle.

"Classmate Xi Ning is so smart!"

"???"

There was no conversation all the way, and the ten-hour drive to Xi Ning was very quiet.

What makes Cao Bin even more strange is the relationship between their father and daughter.

I have seen fathers and daughters at odds with each other, and it is the first time I have seen a father and daughter who are not familiar with each other.

It's that kind of reserved politeness.

During several shifts, the driver's uncle came up to ask for help.

It was obvious that he really meant it.

But Xi Ning's responses were very polite, polite and sensible.

How can I put it, it lacks the real 'unbridledness' between father and daughter, and feels a bit foreign!

During this period, Cao Bin asked: "Uncle, won't you go home with us?"

Xi Ning just said dullly: "Dad still has to go to work~"

When they got off the bus at Xingcheng, the uncle didn't bother Xi Ning anymore. He just patted Cao Bin on the shoulder and asked him to take good care of his daughter.

The hesitation to speak made Cao Bin even more curious.

After more than an hour of traveling between CMB and CMB, they arrived at the countryside of Star City.

By this time it was completely dark.

After getting off the bus, I still had half an hour to walk with my luggage.

After Cao Bin heard about it, he caught a passing Sanbengzi and gave the simple elder brother 100 yuan to give him a ride.

Who would have trouble with money?

"Originally my cousin said he would pick him up on a motorcycle, but something happened in the village and he couldn't come." Xi Ning said weakly, "I'm sorry, I'll give you the money later."

"Okay, but you don't need to give me cash. Just use it as an advance payment for food and drinks at your house these days."

"No, you don't need to pay me at my house."

"Student Xi Ning, are you really such a double standard? You have to pay me for a ride in the car, but if I go to your house and eat and drink for free, you don't have to pay, right?"

"???"

In one sentence, I can directly identify classmate Xi Ning.

"Are you afraid that I won't get used to it?"

"Classmate Xi Ning, I'm not as squeamish as you think!"

"???"

Xi Ning remained silent, her face red.

I usually come back alone.

She went to the station by herself and carried her luggage by herself, but Cao Bin didn't let her get started during the whole journey today.

It's a bit unaccustomed to me, but it feels a little sweet to have one more person around me.

"Just send it here, uncle. The road ahead has not been built yet and it is difficult to drive. There are also many forks. It is inconvenient to go out at night for fear that you will get lost."

"Okay, okay, thank you Lameituo~"

The eldest brother Santengzi was caught as a young man, so of course he was happy to see Xi Ning say this.

"Is it still far?" Cao Bin asked.

"There are still a few hundred meters left. Give me your luggage and I'll carry it~"

"How is that possible? I've already mentioned it all the way. You need to mention it yourself when you get in. Then I've mentioned it all in vain. Maybe my family will think I'm abusing you!"

"..."

Cao Ah Man knows how to put on a show.

Although there are no roads built, there are street lights set up by the villagers themselves every ten meters or so.

Not particularly bright, just enough lighting.

"What's so lively over there?"

"I heard from grandma that a neighbor's firefighter uncle died. He is waiting for the body to be returned and is preparing to hold a funeral in the past few days."

While the two were talking, they passed by the brightly lit house and happened to catch the body entering the house.

The square was full of people.

At this time, something unexpected happened to everyone.

An old lady with white hair rushed up and slapped the deceased. After being hugged and stopped by the people next to her, she burst into tears and burst into tears!

"That's the uncle's mother." Xi Ning explained.

Cao Bin looked heavy.

"Although I can understand how this grandma feels, it's still very heart-wrenching to watch."

"It is considered unfilial to give a person with white hair to a person with black hair. A slap in the face means that the mother has forgiven him!"

"How do you know..."

Cao Bin took the initiative to shut up before he finished speaking.

He saw tears in Xi Ning's eyes.

Did the same thing happen at her house?

"Let's go, my house is right in front."

Instead of being shy about being close to home, Xi Ning took the initiative to lead the way.

It was only a few hundred meters away from the funeral home. They walked through a small gravel road and stopped in front of a rough brick house with no exterior paint.

"This is my home~"

Cao Bin looked up and was suddenly startled.

He was shocked when he looked at the plaque on the wooden door that said 'Home of First-class Meritors'.

A common joke in the army: third-class meritorious service is received while standing, second-class meritorious service is received lying down, and first-class meritorious service is received by family members.

First class work.

Not even his two uncles have this kind of honor!

Cao Bin had already guessed something and asked cautiously: "What is this?"

"My dad~"

"One day in the second grade of elementary school, many people came to the house."

"I thought I was happy that my father was back after school, but when I entered the house, I only saw the urn covered with the national flag and this plaque."

The tears finally couldn't help but flow down.

"I never saw my dad again, but I got a lot more dads because of it."

"Actually, I didn't know until much later that my father's ashes were retrieved by the fathers who fought tooth and nail."

"The one in the car today was one of them."

"I took his car just to make my fathers feel at ease. Otherwise, they would come to my house together during the Chinese New Year, buy a lot of things for me and grandma, and even give money as gifts."

Cao Bin didn't speak for a long time after hearing this.

The world is not peaceful, but we were born in a peaceful country.

The peace we enjoy now is due to the countless unnamed heroes who bear the burden and shed blood and sacrifice for us in the darkness.

Xi Ning's father is one of them.

This is her pride and her misfortune.

"I remember Hudan's policy that tuition fees for the children of martyrs are free. Why are you still working in Jinzun?"

"Grandma said that when Dad was still here, he didn't cause any trouble to the country, and now that he's gone, it's even less so."

"I don't want to live on other people's sympathy either."

"Don't you think it's cool to support yourself with your hands?"

Xi Ning raised her head, and the dim light from the street lamp shone on her face, which was particularly fresh and bright.

At that moment, Cao Bin suddenly fell into a trance.

There is a gentle touch somewhere inside.

She could obviously complain with confidence, but she never felt any negative energy in her body.

The world kisses her in pain, but she still responds with songs.

Knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks cannot hurt her at all.

Just like a clear spring in a mountain stream, it is calm and restrained, gentle and peaceful, giving you a full sense of security.

Want to anchor, want to be close, eager to protect her!
