Return To 1998

Seeing Tan Shi's expression, Ge Xiaozhu couldn't help but ask again, Xiao Shi, what do you think? Can you think about my path?

Tan Shi came back to his senses and blushed.

Being chased and asked by her aunt, she couldn't help it.

If she refused, she couldn't say it.

The words of the promise... When it came to her lips, the woman's instinctive restraint made her unable to say it.

Auntie!

She bowed her head embarrassedly, and her face was already red.

Ge Xiaozhu's ability to observe words and expressions is not strong, but at this time, Ge Xiaozhu can still see what Tan Shi's expression means.

Ge Xiaozhu was overjoyed, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Tan Shi's shoulder, leaned into Tan Shi's ear, and whispered, I'm sorry, isn't it? It's okay! Auntie knows what you mean, I'll help you talk to Xiaodao when I come back, Xiaodao If you don't have any opinions, then you two will benefit, and try to get married before the end of the year, okay?

Tan Shi raised his head in surprise, got married before the end of the year?

So fast?

It's only a few months before the end of the year!

Auntie, this, this is too fast?

Tan Shi still couldn't help but express his thoughts.

If Aunt Wan really thinks that she agrees to get married before the end of the year, she will tell her parents and other relatives about it on the phone, and then all relatives will take it seriously, what should she do? Can you still object then?

When she thought that her parents, sister, and other relatives would bombard her with phone calls every day, she was terrified.

If you don't answer those calls, you will have to accept Tang Seng's sermons like chanting sutras. The key is family members and relatives. She can't block the calls of those people.

Quick? Xiaoshi! You and Xiaodao are not too young, so hurry up!

Ge Xiaozhu started preaching mode.

Tan Shi was speechless.

When she left the Xu family, her mind was still confused.

When she got into the car, she didn't even know how she got out of the Xu family villa just now.

To the cousin Xu Tongdao...

To say that she never liked it, she didn't believe it herself.

For so many years, she has almost watched him grow his business little by little, from a small barbecue stall in Shazhou County to the richest man in the province today. His ability is in all the people she knows. Among people, it is absolutely second to none.

And women have Mu Qiang genes in their bones, and they will instinctively have a good impression of good men.

What's more, someone had joked about her and Xu Tongdao before, saying that they should be together.

She was heartbroken then.

only……

After all, they are cousins. Although in the old days, many cousins ​​got married, but now is a new era.

Moreover, Tongdao Xu never showed any interest in her, but just regarded her as a cousin. Gradually, she lost that thought, and An An talked about her partner.

But now that he is divorced and she has been separated for more than half a year, they seem to have the possibility to be together again.

On the way back, Tan Shi kept thinking about it.

...

Tongdao Xu didn't know what his mother said to Tan Shi today.

But he knew what his mother told him the next morning. Valley

Because the next morning, he sent his son and daughter to school, and when he got home, he was called upstairs by his mother, and it was the third floor.

The third floor is where he lives, and no one usually comes up.

In the corridor at the elevator entrance on the third floor, Ge Xiaozhu looked a little excited. He lowered his voice and told Xu Tongdao about the matter. After speaking, he asked him expectantly: Xiaodao, what do you think of Xiaoshi? She also Four years older than you, the key point is that she is your cousin, the cousin of An An and Lele. She grew up with An An and Lele. If you marry her, she will definitely not treat An An and Lele. Too bad, what do you think?

Xu Tongdao was stunned.

Looking at his mother's expectant expression, he was speechless.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Ge Xiaozhu asked, Xiaodao! You talk! What do you think?

Tongdao Xu couldn't help but let out a sigh.

He said funny: Mom! The current law, marriage between cousins ​​is not allowed, so don't ask me what I think, you can ask what the law thinks, okay?

Ge Xiaozhu frowned, The law doesn't allow it?

Xu Tongdao smiled and nodded.

Ge Xiaozhu's expression became tangled, Why isn't it allowed? Why are so many cousins ​​getting married in the past, why are they not allowed now?

Just as Xu Tongdao opened his mouth to answer, Ge Xiaozhu added: By the way, your business is so big now, and you know all the heads of the province. If you really marry Xiaoshi, who would dare to do anything to you? Like? I don't believe it! Can't we pay a fine at the most? It's like the fine for family planning and overbirth, do you think it's okay?

Tongdao Xu felt that he was defeated by his mother.

He wanted to raise his hands in surrender.

He waved his hands again and again, Mom! Don't you say it? I don't want to get married again, and it's not because I can't find a partner, why do you have to drag me and my cousin together? It's not good!

Ge Xiaozhu couldn't help arguing: But, no matter who you marry again, it's better not to marry Xiao Shi! Xiao Shi is An An and Lele's cousin. She married you, and she will definitely not marry your two children. Poor!

Xu Tongdao still shook his head.

But he didn't want to argue with his mother anymore, so he said, Mom, I'll be thirty in a few months. Can you leave my marriage alone? Let me make my own decisions, okay?

Ge Xiaozhu's expression was painful, But, you are only 30 years old, how can you stop getting married?

The mother's expression and her words made Xu Tongdao realize that if he never got married, this matter would probably become a knot in his mother's heart.

Moreover, it is very likely that he will have to do his ideological work every now and then.

But he still had no intention of remarrying at all.

He didn't want to argue with his mother, he sighed, and tried his best to appease her.

As for letting him be with his cousin Tan Shi?

He didn't even think about it at all.

He understood what his mother just meant - the reason why his mother wanted to match him and Tan Shi so much was that she thought that Tan Shi was their relative, her own family, and An An and Lele were both grown up by Tan Shi, So if he is with Tan Shi, Tan Shi will not abuse his two children in the future.

but……

He can't accept it.

He couldn't possibly marry anyone for that reason.

...

this evening.

After his son Xu Le fell asleep, Tongdao Xu came alone to the balcony outside the bedroom, sat in the rattan chair, and smoked silently, feeling a little depressed.

The little cold stars on the night fell in his eyes, and what he felt was loneliness.

He has stated more than once or twice that he does not want to remarry, but everyone around him doesn't seem to support it, and everyone wants to persuade him to change this decision.

His mother even wanted to match him with his cousin Tan Shi today, which made him realize that it was not easy for him to stay single. Why can't I be in charge of my own love life?

Looking up at the few cold stars in the night, his eyes were lonely, but the decision in his heart never wavered.
