If a person looks good, he is already at a great advantage. No matter how good your temperament is, you will really get a big advantage. Because first impressions are really important, and so is appearance.
The "little Taoist priest from the mountains" actually looks like this? Is your demeanor like this
The contrast was so great that when everyone sat down, Father Ruan and Mother Ruan were in a bit of a strange mood.
At least it was confirmed that their daughter's brain had not been caught in the door.
Or it might not be a drawbridge effect at all.
She might just be... just motivated by sex.
Imagine being in danger in the mountains and being rescued by such a handsome guy. It's like the plot of a romance novel.
At this age, Mama Ruan actually feels that...it's not that she can't understand it.
Her mood was very complicated.
"Um, I heard that Xiaowen is..." Ruan's father spoke first, "Grown up in the mountains?"
For those who have experienced life and death, as long as they do not die, they are safe.
Ruan's father, Ruan Aihua, was also born in the city. His ability to listen to dialects is only a little better than Ruan Qing's. He can also understand but not speak.
But he enunciated the words very clearly and spoke at a steady pace. It's not like Uncle Qi's quick words, which sounded like "Uh-huh-huh, blah-blah-blah-blah" in Ruan Qing's ears.
"Ruan Qing." Ruan's mother glared at her, "You let others talk."
"Yes, Twenty-Seven is an orphan and was adopted by the old man from the Taoist temple in the mountains. This old man is the little Taoist boy that Grandpa Seven went to the mountain to find..." Ruan Qing rushed to say.
Zaojiao said his handwriting was ugly. Twenty-seven also said that the Chinese character for sapodilla is ugly. But in Ruan Qing's opinion, the calligraphy of Zaojiao is already very good.
But Ruan Aihua also heard that although Twenty-Qi spoke with an accent, his words were not rustic. You must know that in the dialect of Laomeigou Village, there are many words that you cannot find the corresponding words in Chinese characters.
"That's different. We all start with hard pens, and then learn soft pens later." Ruan Qing said, "People have always been soft pens. It's different."
Because Ruan Qing's grandfather came from Laomeigou Village, this is almost the way he speaks Mandarin.
Ruan Qing had no choice but to shut up.
Ruan Qing said: "It's just that people haven't gone out to receive modern education, it's not that they haven't read books. People have received traditional education in Taoist temples, and they write traditional Chinese characters with a brush. Mom, let me tell you, the characters written on the 27th It’s better than what my dad wrote.”
Dad Ruan was not convinced: "I have been writing for many years."
Twenty-seven's calligraphy is much better than Zaojiao's. After all, he is someone who can even pretend to be a scholar or a noble prince.
Twenty-seven spoke with an accent. He deliberately adopted the accent of Lao Meigou, which was more Mandarin.
People who have been in the system pay more attention to the quality of handwriting. Successful middle-aged and older men in the business world are even better at calligraphy.
But the accent of Twenty-Seven made him feel very friendly.
It seems like a person is just starting to learn Mandarin very hard.
He said: "That's what Ruan Qing said. After my grandfather passed away, I lived alone in the temple and never went out to the mountains. This time, it was Ruan Qing who took me out of the mountains and allowed me to see a lot. Ruan Qing also taught me There are a lot of things. I have been watching the learning videos for the past two days to make up for the lessons, and I realize how far behind I am from the outside world, and I am trying my best to catch up.”
Ruan Qing is not exaggerating.
Twenty-seven is not stage frightened. Although I know that I am definitely far away from Ruan Qing's parents' conditions for recruiting a son-in-law, after all, I won't die, right
He said to Ruan's mother: "Listening to Xiao Twenty's conversation, it doesn't sound like someone who has never read a book."
This was unexpected again, I thought it was an illiterate person.
Ruan Aihua and his wife looked at each other.
"Then how do you live alone in the mountains?" Ruan's mother asked.
This is easy to say. I have told Uncle Qi once before, and now I am just telling it again.
Moreover, Twenty-seven’s experiences of life in the mountains were all real, and they were all experienced by him personally in another time and space. It's very realistic and convincing when told.
Such a good-looking boy has lived such a lonely and primitive life for so many years. Ruan's father and Ruan's mother could not help but feel pity.
Mother Ruan wiped her eyes and said reprovingly: "This is all the government's fault. Since there have always been legends about Taoist temples, we should have sent people to the mountains to check."
She added: "Fortunately, our family Ruan Qing met, which shows that you are destined to our family. Thanks to you, Ruan Qing was saved. You don't have to worry about the future, we can help you arrange it. While you are still young, , learn everything you need to learn first, and then see what kind of job you are suitable for. You are still young and have time for everything.”
Mother Ruan spoke in a very gentle voice and gave a promise.
But there was a needle hidden in her cotton wool, and Twenty-seven felt clear-hearted after hearing it.
From the beginning to the end, the couple never asked "What's going on between you and our daughter?" because if they didn't ask, they could treat it as if it didn't exist. They only regard Nianqi as Ruan Qing's savior, and in return, they can help him gain a foothold in society. Simply simplify and redefine the relationship.
He just doesn't admit his relationship with Ruan Qing at all.
But he had no choice but to accept the words. Nianqi had no choice but to say thank you when Ruan Qing spoke.
Ruan Qing is not stupid either. Ruan Qing can also see the little tricks his parents play. After urging her to go on a blind date all day long, she personally brought one home, and they started pretending to be crazy for her again.
Ruan Qing didn't accept this trick: "You don't have to worry about it. I'll take care of his business. I will take him back to Jiangcheng and let him learn whatever he needs to learn."
She had originally promised to Nian Qi to let him meet her parents as her boyfriend. Now that her parents are playing this trick in front of her, it has aroused her rebellious spirit. Ruan Qing directly held Nianqi's hand and provoked: "Didn't Uncle Xiangyun tell you? Nianqi and I are dating."
Mother Ruan was furious. I hate people who just flip the table. But Ruan Qing just has the kind of character that doesn't follow you in circles and just overturns the table. They've been used to it since childhood.
Ruan Qing said it directly, and Ruan Aihua and his wife could no longer pretend not to know.
Mother Ruan could only say: "How many days have you known each other?"
"Let me do the math..." Ruan Qing counted on his fingers. Of course, what is announced to the public can only be counted from the time she entered the mountain from Laomeigou Village.
"Hey, it's been exactly a week," she said, "We've known each other for a week and started dating. That's it."
I can’t say it’s not possible, but that’s not how things work out. Is it a matter of time? But Ruan Qing has obviously begun to rebel. Ever since she ran away from her wedding, Ruan Aihua and his wife have not dared to push her too far.
Because she can really run.
It was rare for her to go home. If she said too much, she would run away again without seeing anyone.
She also refused to tell them her address in Jiangcheng, and they were not allowed to go to Jiangcheng to harass her.
Having such a stubborn and bad-tempered daughter will shorten your life by ten years!
Father Ruan wanted to speak, but Mother Ruan kicked him and kept a gentle and friendly smile: "We will not interfere in the affairs between you young people. It's just that Xiao Yan's situation is special. If you really do it for his own good, you shouldn't capricious."
"Now that he has come out of the mountains, he has to enter society and settle down."
"And you still have a job, and you still have to go to work. My suggestion is to let Xiao Er stay here in Yanshi, and your dad and I will make arrangements. Whether it's studying or working, I can be better than you in every way."
In fact, I didn't plan this at the beginning. I just planned to pretend not to know and not acknowledge the relationship.
Let it develop naturally.
I thought that Ruan Qing had brought this little Taoist priest from the countryside into the city. After comparing it with myself, the halo was shattered and it ended naturally.
Who knew that the little Taoist priest from the countryside could be such a handsome guy.
Color is also a halo. Unless you gain thirty pounds, you won’t be able to break through. I could only change my mind on the spot.
Ruan Qing asked: "What kind of job are you going to give him? Will he wash leather in the factory?"
Ruan Qing's family makes leather goods. Dad Ruan said, "Look, there are many positions in the factory. Let him learn slowly, and it is not impossible for him to find an administrative or management position in the future."
"I thank you," Ruan Qing said, "but I don't plan to let him enter the factory. You really don't need to worry about this matter."
Ruan Qing was originally a person with a temper. I am especially prone to being irritable towards my parents.
Seeing that both sides were about to get stiff, Twenty-Seven shook Ruan Qing's hand and said, "Ruan Qing."
Ruan Qing glanced at him and closed his mouth.
How could this little Taoist priest control their hot-tempered daughter
Ruan Aihua and his wife were quite surprised and looked at each other quickly.
They don't know that Twenty-Seven is not that powerful to "manage" Ruan Qing. But in his relationship with Ruan Qing, he showed more tenderness and consideration.
Ruan Qing could feel it and responded with enthusiasm and patience. Between lovers, giving and giving should be spontaneous and mutual.
Twenty-seven heard it clearly.
Ruan Qing's parents disapproved of Ruan Qing's relationship with him, and their idea was to completely isolate the two of them physically.
"Uncle, aunt." Twenty-seven straightened his back. Although the situation in front of him was not good for him, he did not feel weak.
"My sister and I have only known each other for seven days. I think it was too short, and I think so too," he said.
The couple looked at each other again.
"Because the time is too short, it is too late to do anything. So today I can only come to the two elders empty-handed. I am broke and destitute. Now I have to rely on Ruan Qing to even eat."
Twenty-seven did not mince words about his current predicament.
"But in the past two or three days I have been out on the mountain, I have seen and learned so much. The prosperity of the city outside the mountain is beyond my imagination."
"In a time of peace and prosperity, people live in peace and contentment. Anyone with sound limbs, as long as they are not lazy or lazy, no matter what they do, as long as they are willing to do it, they will be rewarded for their work."
"I have also thought about the future and discussed it with Ruan Qing."
"A clumsy calligraphy is just enough to catch the eye, and I don't dare to mislead my disciples into teaching calligraphy. But I cultivated a kung fu in the mountains, which is now called ancient martial arts and is not passed down much. I shamelessly boast that I can still master it. You can probably make a living by finding a job teaching people to practice martial arts."
"Too bad, I see many takeaway guys in yellow and blue shirts on the street. They don't have any skills. They can only support themselves through hard work."
"I have hands and feet. Although I lack some knowledge, I am still young. I can learn slowly and I will not starve to death in the end." He said, "Just give me time."
His eyes are very bright, brighter than most ordinary people.
"Ruan Qing and I have feelings for each other, but the time was too short."
"I don't have much money now, and I don't dare to propose marriage now. I just want to ask my uncle and aunt to be tolerant of me and give me some time."
"I hope you don't directly deny Ruan Qing and I's future."
