Chapter 153 Engagement
The mighty army returned to the village, and naturally received a warm welcome from the villagers.
Many people cheered on both sides of the road, and the sound was louder and louder.
But some people cheered, and some people were sad.
Those who did not see their relatives in the crowd, their expressions gradually changed from expectation to worry, and finally to desperate pain.
Che was already accustomed to these scenes, so there were not too many emotional fluctuations.
But Hong next to him was different. She was once like some people in the crowd, looking forward to the return of her beloved, but she only got the news of death.
So Hong's expression was inevitably moved.
Che noticed this keenly.
Therefore, Che held Hong's hand tighter.
"I'm here."
Hong turned her head to look at Che, then stopped the tears brewing in her eyes, wiped her eyes with her little hand and said, "Okay."
Those bright red eyes looked particularly beautiful.
Che's mind suddenly moved, and he gently pulled Hong to him, and then pecked Hong's pretty face lightly.
This time, Hong just leaned her little head against Che's chest, as if listening to Che's heartbeat.
In the back, Xihi Zhenhong showed a kind smile of an old father, as if she could already see her future with children and grandchildren.
In the team, Kakashi couldn't put down the manuscript of the intimate paradise, and Asuma turned his head to one side, staring at the people on both sides of the street in a trance.
At this time, the two Uchiha boys waved their hands to attract Asuma's attention.
"Tonghuo, Tiehuo, you are here."
Tonghuo and Tiehuo broke into the crowd directly, "Asuma, where is the eldest brother?"
Asuma pointed to Che and Hong who were intimate on the side and said, "You'd better not go up and disturb them."
Tonghuo shook his head and said, "I said this is our eldest sister-in-law a long time ago. How about it, your brother has good vision, right?"
"It's worthy of being a brother!" Tiehuo raised his thumb and said excitedly.
"We will go to the eldest brother later, and we can't disturb the intimacy between the eldest brother and his sister-in-law." Tonghuo said solemnly.
Tiehuo nodded solemnly.
The troops returning to the village conducted a simple inventory in front of the Hokage Building and then dispersed and went back to their homes.
Che naturally followed Zhenhong and the father and daughter Hong back to Xiri's home.
Zhenhong bought bags of food on the way, as if ready to show off her superb cooking skills in the evening.
When the three returned home, a white cat rushed from the room to the entrance, as if to welcome the three shit shovelers.
"Hong, didn't you put Baitang in someone else's house for foster care?"
Che saw Baitang, who had grown much bigger, and felt a little strange for a while, but the white fur and red eyes were still quite characteristic.
"No need to foster, Baitang is very smart."
Hong squatted down and touched Baitang's head. Baitang looked very well-behaved in front of Hong.
"So that's it. Although it's not a ninja cat, it has some ninja cat blood and inherited the intelligence of ninja cats."
Although Xiri Zhenhong didn't see Baitang much, she did analyze the reason why Baitang was so smart.
"The cats in Grandma Cat's house have some ninja cat blood to a greater or lesser extent." Che of the Uchiha clan has the most say in this.
There is half a year's supply of cat food in the house. Baitang eats cat food when he is hungry, turns on the tap to drink water when he is thirsty, and even takes a bath by himself. He goes out to play when he is bored, and hides at home when it rains. He has surpassed most of the naughty children.
"Not bad, not bad. Speaking of which, Baitang can be regarded as my first grandchild."
Xihi Zhenhong walked to the kitchen with the ingredients and gave Baitang a fresh river fish to taste.
Che and Hong also entered the kitchen to help Zhenhong.
Soon, a large table of freshly baked delicious dishes was presented.
Half of it was seafood that Xihi Zhenhong and Hong liked, and the other side was meat and sweets that Che liked.
Seafood grilled fish platter, wasabi octopus, sashimi, squid nigiri sushi, grilled sea bream, clam miso soup, grilled meat, three-color meatballs, tempura, sukiyaki.
These have already filled up the big dining table of the Xihi family.
In fact, according to the eating habits of Japan in the previous life or the Fire Country in this life, there are few opportunities to fill the table with such rich dishes.
It’s just that this time is the first dinner of Xihi Makoto and his daughter and Che after the war, so it seems particularly formal.
Che just reached out to pick up the chopsticks and eat heartily, but was interrupted by Makoto.
"Che, have you forgotten another important thing?"
Che asked in surprise: "Engagement?"
"Of course, this is our top priority now." Xihi Makoto nodded heavily.
"But this shouldn't be more formal..." Che looked at Hong, and for the first time he felt a little unsure of what to say.
Hong kept her head down, as if the table in front of her was more attractive than Che in front of her.
Xi Ri Zhen Hong said earnestly: "This is already formal enough. Besides, you and Hong grew up together. Do you still need me to formally introduce each of you?"
Che said obediently: "That's not necessary, Uncle Zhen Hong. I am willing to get engaged to Hong, but I don't know if you are willing to do it, and I am not sure if Hong is willing."
"Of course I am willing to do it. Che, you are my family. Hong, are you willing?" Zhen Hong asked Hong Wen again.
Hong finally raised her head and looked at Che with affection.
"I do."
"Good!" Shinhong clapped happily, and then took out a pair of rings from his arms.
"You are both underage, so I will pay for the engagement rings, but Che, when we get married, you can't let me buy rings again."
Shinhong said and showed the two the styles of the rings.
Two gold rings are inlaid with a round and plump pearl.
This is the most perfect ring for the aesthetics of people of Shinhong's age.
But Che and Hong also think it's good. Although it's a bit exaggerated, it still reveals a graceful beauty.
Che took the ring and put it on the middle finger of his left hand.
Hong put it on the opposite middle finger of his right hand.
Neither of them is a physical ninja, so wearing rings does not affect the battle.
"Che, Hong, are you sure you won't regret your feelings for each other?" Xiri Shinhong asked the first question.
"No regrets." "No." The two answered.
"Okay, then as Che's elder and Hong's father, I will be the witness of your engagement ceremony. I hope that you two can support and take care of each other in the future. Can you do it?" Xixi Zhenhong asked the second question.
"Yes." "Okay." The two answered again.
"That's it... It's over. I'm relieved. Che, I'll entrust Hong to you." Xixi Zhenhong said with a long breath.
"Uncle Zhenhong, you are still in your prime, how can you talk about entrusting. Che persuaded him.
Hong also nodded in agreement.
Zhenhong said: "In the world of ninja, how many people can guarantee that they will always be there? Okay, let's not talk about this, let's start. "
"I'm starting!" x3
