Yes, my mother made it clear that she wanted to separate us. If we continue to ask questions knowingly, we are waiting to be slapped in the face by my mother. So after Luo Xiangdong and I looked at each other without trace, we had to endure it secretly.
Luo Xiangdong stood up and said, "Uncle and aunt, please rest early. I'll go over first. See you tomorrow."
My parents greeted him with a smile, and Luo Xiangdong glanced at me secretly. The eyes were full of resentment. So why am I not? It's just that due to my mother's intimidation, neither of us dared to say anything.
After Luo Xiangdong left. There are only three of us left in this house. My mother seemed like nothing was wrong. He stretched and then said: "I'm tired, take a bath and go to bed."
I asked, "Did you bring your pajamas?"
My mother said, "Take it."
My dad was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV. My mother took her pajamas and went into the bathroom to take a shower. I ran back to the guest bedroom and secretly called Luo Xiangdong, who answered the call almost instantly.
I said: "Xiangdong..." There was a hint of jealousy in my voice.
Luo Xiangdong's first sentence was: "What do you mean, aunt? He doesn't want us to be together?"
I held my tongue and whispered, "She just doesn't want us to live together before we get married."
Luo Xiangdong suppressed his voice and said, "It's not the first day we've lived together."
I said, "You don't have a daughter. You don't understand."
My parents often say that if I were a son. You can let me go as long as you don't rape or kidnap me. Whatever you do. But not the daughter. The daughter is the caring little cotton-padded jacket of her parents. If others were to wear it, would they agree
Luo Xiangdong asked: "How many days do uncle and aunt plan to stay in Night City?"
I replied with a slumped face: "How did I know?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "I abstained from sex before, and now I have to abstain from sex?"
What he said made me want to cry. I was lying on the bed tossing and turning, thinking only about how I couldn't touch Luo Xiangdong, who was just across the door.
I was talking on the phone with Luo Xiangdong here, when someone knocked on the guest bedroom door, and my father's voice came from outside the door: "Zijin, your mother asked you who washes your hair?"
"Oh, come on, wait a minute."
I took my cell phone and quickly said to Luo Xiangdong: "My mother can't find a place to wash her hair. I'll go there first and talk about it later."
After hanging up the phone, I got up and left the guest bedroom and came to the bathroom door.
My toiletries all had foreign characters, and my mother couldn’t tell them apart, so I read them to her one by one.
When I closed the bathroom door and turned around to walk to the living room, my dad waved to me, and I walked over and sat down next to him.
My dad handed me a big strawberry and I ate it cross-legged.
He said: "Your mother and I didn't cause any trouble to you this time, did we?"
I raised my eyebrows and said, "What did you say? Did you do it on purpose?"
My dad smiled and said, "My daughter has grown up, and soon there will be someone she wants to marry. I'm afraid that if I come to see you again in the future, I have to say hello to you in advance, otherwise you won't be able to schedule it."
I said, "Don't say you're not married now. Even if you are married, I'm still a member of our Lao Liang family. You and your mother can come whenever you want. You don't have to choose a day."
My dad stretched out his hand to touch the top of my head, his eyes full of love and... sourness. I really looked at him and saw tears gradually gathering in his eyes.
I felt sad in my heart, but I had to hold back the energy and said as a joke: "Oh, what are you doing?"
My dad also opened his eyes slightly, and it was obvious that he was holding back. He raised the corners of his lips and said with a forced smile: "Dad is thinking about when you will get married..."
The sour taste of strawberries began to gradually spread in my mouth, throat and heart. I was already crying, but now that my dad had touched me like this, I felt even more sad.
I held his hand and said, "Don't feel bad. Who has given birth to a daughter before she gets married? Besides, I'm not getting married right away, so your tears fell a little early."
My dad nodded hard and said: "I have been thinking about what kind of person you will marry in the future. I used to want to find someone for you in Liangcheng, at least close. I can take a look at it whenever I want. Just call you and ask you to go home for dinner. Now..."
They say that men don’t shed tears lightly, but it’s really just that they haven’t reached the sad point yet.
I felt very uncomfortable in my heart, but I couldn't shed tears freely. I had to smile and say: "It's okay, I'm saving money now. After I save for five years, I can afford a house of 40 to 50 square meters. I’ll pick you up and live here with my mother.”
My dad said: "We never worry about your work. You have to be strong and don't work too hard to make money. Isn't all the money your mother and I save belong to you? If you want to buy a house in Night City, we will give it to you." You take the money.”
I shook my head and said: "How can you count the house I bought with the money? No, I have been living at home for so many years. Now that I can support myself, you and my mother will be fine. Pay more attention to your health. I can't do anything here." not worried."
Fifteen minutes later, my mom came out of the bathroom wearing pajamas and her head wrapped around her head. Seeing my dad and I sitting on the sofa with tears in our eyes, she said, "You go take a shower while I talk to Zijin."
My dad got up and left, and my mom took the same position next to him.
My mother talks to me from a completely different standpoint than my father. She always starts from the most practical point of view. First of all, he asked me straight to the point: "Zijin, are you and Luo Xiangdong in a normal relationship?"
I was still a little confused when she asked this question, so I couldn't help but ask: "What is a normal relationship?"
My mother stared at my face and said nonchalantly: "Don't let him take care of you. Your father and I won't be able to bear it, and our family is not short of money."
I rolled my eyes speechlessly, slapped my thigh, and said, "Mom, your thoughts are really avant-garde."
My mother was not joking at all. She said seriously: "There are many temptations in big cities. Mom knows you are not such a child, but she is still worried. After all, Luo Xiangdong's background..."
In fact, my mother's worries were completely within the normal range. It was just that I wanted to laugh inexplicably, so in order to dispel her worries, I had to tell her clearly about Luo Xiangdong's kindness to me bit by bit.
Hearing this, my mother said ambiguously: "You kid has a clear heart. You believe whatever others say. You usually have a job, and he also has to go to work. When you can't see him, do you know what he is doing?"
I gave an example: "Even if I find an ordinary man, he can't stay at home like a housewife all the time, right? If I find someone who needs to be looked after, then I don't have to go to work, I might as well just be tailing him all day long. Just follow him."
My mother frowned slightly and said, "Look, you're here again. Can Luo Xiangdong compare with ordinary men? You don't even believe it when I say it, don't say he is so rich. Even if he has no money, just with his appearance, he can still win." If he doesn't have a lot of little girls jumping on him, can he control him once or twice, or for a lifetime? You are always so careless, and you didn't believe me when I asked you to watch Chen Wenhang more..."
"Don't mention him to me, it'll make you sick."
My mother said: "You give me an example, and I'll give you an example too. It's all happening in front of you, I can't tolerate your disbelief. How many men can control themselves? It's all about relying on Are the women around you watching? If you continue to be so careless and don't gain wisdom, your life in the future may not be easy or difficult. "
My mother is not pessimistic, but from the perspective of an experienced person and an elder, she is trying to help me avoid some detours. But for me, first of all, I instinctively rejected these words, thinking that Luo Xiangdong would not make the same mistakes that ordinary men would make. Secondly, I don’t want to look at someone all day long. Not only will I be tired, but so will Luo Xiangdong.
But these words are still like seeds, quietly sprouting in my heart, and I have to pay attention to them.
My mother also said to me: "Women's youth is limited. Since you told us from the bottom of your heart that you like Luo Xiangdong and are committed to him in this life, then your father and I have nothing to say. But we have to have a prerequisite. , You can't keep spending it like this, at most two years. If you two can't get married within two years, then you can just separate. "
I raised my eyebrows and said, "There are many people who have been dating for seven or eight years before getting married."
My mother glared at me and said unhappily: "Do you have a hole in your head? Seven or eight years? How old are you in seven or eight years? Whenever Luo Xiangdong wants to marry, there are always people vying to get married. You What? Does your family have hundreds of billions? Is your father Luo Zhenye? I get angry when I hear you say this!
I couldn't even utter a single word of what she said. The key is that I never thought about the deadline. Now that my mom mentions it, I take it seriously.
I always say I don’t think about the future, but when will it end? Even if I risk my life and never marry anyone else, how long can Luo Xiangdong stay without marrying? He is already twenty-nine this year, and the Luo family will only let him play for another three to five years at most. By then he will definitely get married, but must the candidate be me
If I have to wait until the moment Luo Xiangdong marries someone else before I am willing to let go, then will I be able to say as frankly as I do today that I have no regrets
Leaning on the sofa, I lowered my eyes slightly and was in a daze. I have to say that my mother brought me a new level of conversation.
By the time my dad came out of the bathroom, he clearly felt that something was not right about the atmosphere in the living room. He asked: "What happened again?"
I didn't say anything, so he asked my mother: "Did you tell Zijin again that there are things that are not there?"
My mother was still not happy, she glared and said, "What I said is really for her good! You know how to deal with those useless things, and what you say is not on point!"
My dad said: "Don't make your child unhappy when you come. When the time comes, you can pat your butt and leave, leaving Zijin alone and feeling aggrieved in the night city."
My mother said, "What's there to be aggrieved about? Being aggrieved means she has found the wrong person."
My dad said: "If I had known you were such a nagging person, I shouldn't have brought you here..."
Seeing that the two of them were about to fight again, I quickly said: "Two, two, are you here to compete in the ring, or are you here to relax?"
They were all doing it for my own good, but I didn't expect that when they arrived, the person who opened the door would be Luo Xiangdong in his underwear, right
Sigh... After all, it was just a fault of the wrong family.
