Chapter 92 Sunset and Sunset

Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing went back to their rooms and packed up the luggage that had been sent to them in advance.

"What do I do?"

Chen Mo watched Xu Hongdou taking out things one by one from large and small boxes, including all kinds of cosmetics, skin care products, accessories and clothes, and he couldn't find any way to help.

"I can pack my things myself. I'll know where to put them when I take them." Xu Hongdou sorted them out skillfully.

"I brought my own sheets, quilt covers, and pillowcases. Please help me put them on."

"You brought all this?" Chen Mo took the bedding handed over by Xu Hongdou with some surprise.

"Since we will be staying here for a while, it's better for me to bring these personal items with me so that I can use them with greater peace of mind," Xu Hongdou explained.

"It's different having a woman at home."

Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh. If it were him, a rough man, how could he possibly pay attention to these things.

Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes coquettishly and ignored him.

Chen Mo quickly completed the task assigned by Xu Hongdou.

Fang Shuyun had always instructed him to do these basic housework since he was a child, and she didn't let him be spoiled or lazy.

"You brought these too?"

Chen Mo looked at the dancing cactus in front of him. It twisted when he clapped his hands, and it could also glow, dance, and record.

In addition, there are some small ornaments, such as fruits that look like brains.

In Chen Mo's opinion, it is a bit cumbersome to carry these things when going out.

"Life, understand?"

As Xu Hongdou spoke, she took out another photo frame, which was a family portrait of their family. She then took out a piece of wood and hung it on the wall.

"Our Promise" is written on the wooden board, and it is divided into several sections: "Delicious Food", "Fun Things", "Beautiful Things", "Making Friends", and "The Life I Want".

Obviously it is used to record the following play time.

"We are here to have fun and relax, not on a business trip, so of course there has to be some atmosphere of life." Xu Hongdou looked at the room that instantly became warm and nodded with satisfaction.

"Life." Chen Mo nodded and gently hugged Xu Hongdou from behind.

"What's wrong?" Xu Hongdou asked.

"I suddenly feel that wherever you are, it feels like home." Chen Mo whispered in Xu Hongdou's ear.

Xu Hongdou snorted lightly and did not comment.

"Tell me, when have I ever been included in your family portrait?" Chen Mo asked with a chuckle.

Xu Hongdou smiled and said nothing.

"Your family is going to move in a few months, right? Then I will go back with you?" Chen Mo asked again.

"How do you know this?" Xu Hongdou turned her head to look at Chen Mo.

Their current house is a staircase building. As Xu Jianguo and Liu Guiqin are getting older, it is inevitably inconvenient for them to go up and down the stairs.

Especially Mr. Xu, because of years of hard work, his waist has long been in trouble and sometimes he can't even stand up straight.

So last year, Xu Hongmi and Xu Hongdou each contributed part of the money to buy the old couple an apartment with an elevator to facilitate their future retirement.

"My aunt told me when we were chatting." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Auntie said that the decoration is almost done now, and we can move in after some ventilation."

Xu Hongdou turned around and pinched Chen Mo's face with her hand, "You really know everything clearly."

"What do you mean by inquiring? I just care about you," Chen Mo corrected.

"You quit your job now, and you will definitely come back to help with the move. My uncle's waist can't lift heavy objects, so we are in need of a laborer."

"Just find a moving company." Xu Hongdou blinked. "Besides, I have relatives and friends at home. You don't need to travel so far to come over."

"Hey, it's not as convenient for outsiders as it is for our own people." Chen Mo said seriously, "Besides, the moving company is only responsible for moving, and you have to do a lot of the detailed work yourself."

"Are you not a outsider anymore?" Xu Hongdou tilted her head slightly.

"A son-in-law is half a son, so how can he be an outsider?" Chen Mo said sternly.

"You haven't even been to my house, and you've become my son-in-law?" Xu Hongdou said with a smile.

"I'll be there, that's it." Chen Mo said confidently, "I'll be there, and once I'm there I'll be the son-in-law."

"Who told you that you'll be my son-in-law once you get home?"

"It's ok for the prospective son-in-law to be a stranger anyway."

Xu Hongdou pretended to be dazed, with a smile on her face, but she didn't say anything.

"What's the matter? You eat me up and you're going to deny it?" Chen Mo said with eyes wide open.

Xu Hongdou laughed out of anger when she heard this. She raised her hands, pinched Chen Mo's face and pulled it to the sides, narrowed her eyes and said, "Your shamelessness always exceeds my imagination."

"I want a wife, why should I care about my face?" Chen Mo said vaguely. His face was pinched and pulled, and his words were somewhat lisp.

"What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly." Xu Hongdou said with a smile while exerting force with her hands.

Chen Mo leaned over and hugged her waist. Xu Hongdou let out a soft cry and subconsciously put her arms around Chen Mo's neck and clamped her legs around his waist.

"I can't hear you clearly. Then let's get closer and I'll explain it to you in detail."

"I heard it clearly. Please put me down first." Xu Hongdou said quickly.

"You're just trying to fool me." Chen Mo raised his eyebrows.

"I'm not giving you a cold shoulder."

"Then show some sign of it." Chen Mo gestured.

Xu Hongdou had no choice but to hold Chen Mo's face and kiss him, "Is it okay? Put me down quickly, otherwise..."

Before he could finish his words, Chen Nanxing pushed open the door that was only a crack away, "Have you two packed up?"

Chen Nanxing was stunned for a moment, covered his eyes and turned around, silently closing the door, "I didn't see anything, you guys continue."

Xu Hongdou patted Chen Mo's shoulders twice in embarrassment and said, "Now it's over. Nanxing misunderstood me. It's all your fault."

Chen Mo put Xu Hongdou down and said, "It's okay. We were not innocent to begin with."

Xu Hongdou glared at Chen Mo and pushed him out of the bedroom. "Go out first and tell Nanxing to wait for a while. I'll change my clothes and come down."

Chen Mo went downstairs, glanced at Ma Qiushan who was still meditating, then came to Chen Nanxing who was sitting at the stone table in the yard, and found a stone block to sit down.

"Is it over so soon?"

“It hasn’t started yet.”

"I'm so sorry for interrupting you."

"It's okay, I interrupted you early."

As the two asked and answered each other, Machushan, who was meditating nearby, heard his eyelids tremble slightly. He had the urge to open his eyes, but he held back.

After a while, Xu Hongdou came down from the second floor. She was still wearing a white top and jeans, but she changed into a beige casual jacket, tied a black and white checkered scarf, wore a Pingding straw hat, and carried a bag across her body.

The style is fresh and simple, which makes people shine.

"It's so beautiful, it's a bargain for someone." Chen Nanxing said with a sigh.

Chen Mo nodded in agreement. "Indeed, what good deeds did I do in my previous life to deserve such luck in love?"

Xu Hongdou watched the two people playing tricks as usual, "Okay, let's go, stop making jokes."

"Well, let's find something to eat first."

After the three men left, Machushan, who was meditating, opened one eye. After confirming that the three men had left, he instantly lost his concentration and let out a long breath.

Chen Mo walked in front, while Chen Nanxing pulled Xu Hongdou behind, joking quietly:

"It's broad daylight, you better remember to close the door next time and be careful of the impact."

"No." Xu Hongdou was a little embarrassed.

"Not yet. I saw you two cuddling like that. If I were to run into you later, ugh, I wouldn't dare to think about it."

"It's not what you think."

"How will this situation in the movie play out next?" Chen Nanxing raised his eyebrows with an "I understand" expression.

Xu Hongdou was helpless but didn't know how to explain. Fortunately, they were now serious boyfriend and girlfriend, so it was just a little awkward.

At this time, Chen Mo in front saw a sign of "Ge Sang Hua Restaurant" and turned back to say to the two of them:

"There's a restaurant here, why don't we try this one? There doesn't seem to be much to eat in this village."

"Okay." Xu Hongdou nodded.

"etc."

Chen Nanxing quickly took out a wireless microphone and pinned it to his collar, then took out his video equipment and started filming.

"The food exploration blogger is online." Chen Mo joked.

"Hehe, record your life anytime and anywhere." Chen Nanxing smiled.

"I occasionally take pictures of you two. Do you mind if you two are in the picture? I can edit it out later."

"It's okay with me." Xu Hongdou said.

"It doesn't matter." Chen Mo shrugged.

"OK, let's go."

The three of them walked into the Gesanghua Hotel.

"Hongdou, look, it's a watery girl."

As soon as Chen Nanxing entered the door, he saw a kind of vegetable with long inflorescence stalks soaked in water.

Water lily is also known as sea lettuce, which is quite common in Yunnan. It can be eaten as a vegetable or used as a landscape ornamental.

The emerald green leaves are submerged in water, and the yellow-stamen and white flowers look like stars falling on the water, which is very beautiful.

"This is the fickle girl you've been thinking about." Xu Hongdou also took a closer look.

"There should be a small white flower on the top, but it must have been picked off." said Chen Nanxing.

At this time, a woman wearing local ethnic clothing came out, holding a sign that said "Closed Today." "Boss, are you closed?" Chen Nanxing asked.

The woman was also stunned for a moment when she saw there were other guests, but then she quickly reacted and asked, "Are you three?"

"Yes, is there anything else to eat?"

"Yes, I'll make it for you. Please come in."

When running a business like this, things often go wrong, but there is generally no reason to turn customers away.

The three of them ordered four dishes and a water lily soup.

"Here, the dishes are all here, enjoy your meal." The proprietress brought up the last braised chicken.

"Thank you."

Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing each served themselves a bowl of soup.

"Well, water lily is delicious, fresh, smooth and tender." As a food blogger, Chen Nanxing was the first to give his evaluation.

When the lady boss at the cashier heard this, she smiled and said, "Our braised chicken is also delicious. The chicken is raised at home, and the meat is firm and chewy."

Chen Nanxing tasted a piece of chicken and nodded, "The meat is tender and not dry, and tastes good."

"Really? Are you here for tourism?" the proprietress asked enthusiastically.

"We just came here today and plan to stay for a while."

Seeing that the proprietress was so talkative, Chen Nanxing also became very interested.

"Madam boss, how long have you been running this shop?"

"It's been more than 20 years. In the past, our restaurant was the only one in our village. Those who came here to eat would come back."

"Have you and your wife been driving this business?"

"Yes, the kid went to town."

Chen Nanxing and the proprietress chatted animatedly.

Chen Mo and Xu Hongdou ate quietly. They also saw how Chen Nanxing usually obtained video materials.

The two of them were a little impressed. Although they were not socially anxious, it was difficult for them to chat with strangers so enthusiastically.

The meal was a great success, and the host and the guests enjoyed it very much. At the end, the proprietress even gave them some extra treats.

Four dishes and a soup cost more than 100 yuan. Compared with the prices in the capital, these prices are really touching.

Then the three of them started their official tour.

Ancient buildings, old bluestone roads, flower walls full of pink roses, green wheat fields, and towering old banyan trees.
The breeze blew, everything rustled, the wheat waves swayed, and the horses' hooves on the Ancient Tea Horse Road
Here, you can seem to hear the sounds of nature and time.

Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing were responsible for being beautiful and cute along the way, while Chen Mo was responsible for taking photos and carrying bags.

Chen Mo and the other two came to a meadow. What they saw was lush green lawns, a clear and vast lake, dense and lush pine forests, and leisurely cattle and sheep.

"Is that a horse farm?" Chen Nanxing pointed to a wooden building in front.

"I guess so. You can see someone riding it."

The three of them then walked closer and took a look at the horse farm fence.

"Do you want to ride it?" Chen Mo asked.

"I've never ridden one." said Xu Hongdou.

"Me too." said Chen Nanxing.

"I have only taken photos on horseback at some scenic spots, but I have never ridden on a horse farm."

"Then today is a good time to give it a try."

While the three were talking, Xie Zhiyao, who was brushing the horse's back, also noticed them and walked over.

"Hello, I'm Xie Zhiyao, the owner of this horse farm. May I ask if there is anything I can help you with?"

Chen Nanxing's eyes lit up when he saw that the owner of the horse farm was so sunny and handsome.

"Hello, is this open to the public? We want to ride a horse." Chen Mo said.

"Of course, you are tourists, right? Have you ridden one before?" Xie Zhiyao nodded.

"I've learned it, but my girlfriend and my friend have never ridden it before, so they may need someone to guide them." Chen Mo explained the situation.

Xie Zhiyao glanced at Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing beside Chen Mo. One was stunning, and the other was cute and lovely.

Because she was someone else's girlfriend, Xie Zhiyao glanced at her politely and then looked away.

With just one glance, Xie Zhiyao could tell which one was Chen Mo's girlfriend, because the two looked so good together.

"No problem, just come in from the entrance over there, I'll make the arrangements." Xie Zhiyao stretched out his hand and gave instructions.

"Okay, thank you."

Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing sat on horseback and were led by someone for a slow stroll for half an hour; Chen Mo rode by himself, galloping at the top of his lungs.

"How do you feel?" Chen Mo asked them with a smile.

"It was quite fresh when I first sat on it, but later I felt nothing like it," said Xu Hongdou.

"My butt hurts after riding for a long time." Chen Nanxing said bitterly.

"It might be more fun to ride by yourself. It's really boring to be led by someone."

"In the capital, I have a familiar horse farm club. If you want to learn, I'll take you there later."

"But riding a horse does rub your thighs and buttocks." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Forget it, just try something new and don't suffer this." Chen Nanxing waved his hand.

Xu Hongdou wasn't very interested either, but she still teased Chen Nanxing:
"Yeah, you should drive the car properly first. If you drive a car and hit a tree, you will probably fall into the river if you ride a horse."

"Oh, don't say that." Chen Nanxing wanted to cover Xu Hongdou's mouth.

"It's okay, I already knew about this. I won't laugh unless I can't help it, haha." Chen Mo added.

"Ah—why do you say everything?" Chen Nanxing scratched Xu Hongdou.

Xu Hongdou dodged and ran away, "I told the truth, I didn't make up a rumor."

"You still say that! If you have the guts, don't run!" Chen Nanxing chased after him.

The two were playing on the grass, chasing each other.

"Then we'll leave first."

"see you next time."

Chen Mo said goodbye to Xie Zhiyao and slowly followed the two of them.

Suddenly, Chen Mo heard Xu Hongdou scream and stop in front, and Chen Mo hurried forward.

"What's wrong? Did you sprain your ankle?"

Chen Mo saw Xu Hongdou standing there blankly with her hands covering her nose, while Chen Nanxing was hiding aside trying to hold back his laughter. He felt a little strange, so he ran closer to take a look and couldn't help laughing.

"I won the prize." Chen Mo laughed out loud as he looked at Xu Hongdou who was stepping on cow dung.

Hearing Chen Mo's laughter, Xu Hongdou was a little annoyed, "You are still laughing? Come and help!"

"Okay, coming, coming." Chen Mo couldn't help laughing as he walked over.

Chen Mo supported Xu Hongdou and said, "Pull your feet out of the cow dung first."

Xu Hongdou held on to Chen Mo for support. He stumbled and his feet came out, but his shoes were still in the cow dung.

After Chen Nanxing laughed enough, he didn't just stand there and watched. He found a branch and picked out the shoes.

"What should we do now?" Chen Nanxing asked.

"Take the shoes back and wash them, as for the people"

Chen Mo looked at Xu Hongdou who was standing on one leg, turned around, half squatted, and patted her shoulder, "Come up."

Xu Hongdou leaned over and hugged the broad arms in front of her. She jumped lightly and was steadily caught by Chen Mo and carried on his back.

Chen Mo carried Xu Hongdou on his back, while Chen Nanxing carried the branch with shoes hanging on it, and the three of them walked along the path along the beach.

"The sun is setting!" Chen Nanxing shouted.

"Carrying my wife home." Chen Mo continued.

Xu Hongdou was on Chen Mo's back with a gentle smile.

[The sunset turns the sky red

The sea faces the wind

The sunset is so gentle

The mountains hide in the folds of clouds

Show a dream
Encounter with the stars

"We should have come a long time ago. Look how beautiful the scenery is. Colorful clouds and sunset glow are no longer luxuries." Chen Nanxing smiled happily.

"Ah."

Xu Hongdou responded softly.

When the night wind blows away
Short-lived immortality

and busy daytime
Close your eyes and find

Reasons to breathe

The hand that did not fall empty

Xu Hongdou pressed her face against Chen Mo's back with her eyes slightly closed.

The scenery is picturesque, and my favorite people and best friends are right by my side.

Happiness is already in our hands, how can we not be intoxicated?

At the End of the World

Everything is behind me】
