Love is like a dream

Xiao Zhen: Then just go for a walk, it’s better than staying at home.

Me: Ah, Xiao Zhen, have you forgotten that we are in the north, and the weather outside is trembling, where should I go for a walk in the wind.

Xiao Zhen: There is no excuse for being lazy!

Me: Oh, well, I was exposed by you, I'm just lazy and don't like sports.

Xiao Zhen: If you have me by your side, you will love sports. If you don’t move, I will pull you to move, big slob.

Me: Yes, there is nothing I can do if I don’t love you, because I can’t bear your temptation...

Xiao Zhen: I'm talking serious, don't get it wrong!

Me: Haha, I know, my little Zhen likes to be close to nature the most. In fact, I like it too, if there is a good mood, good weather, and the company of people I like.

Xiao Zhen: I will go back to my hometown to accompany my parents tomorrow, and I may go for an outing the day after tomorrow!

Me: Tomorrow I may have to accompany my parents to visit relatives.

Xiao Zhen: It’s really a difficult topic to communicate.

Me: If a relative asks a question that I don’t want to answer, how should I answer it? Goddess, you taught me. You are often asked by reporters, so you must have more experience than me.

Xiao Zhen: Playing haha, playing Tai Chi, pretending to be stupid, what else can I do.

Me: I know all the theoretical methods, but when I encountered constant questioning on the spot, I really wanted to get angry, and I was afraid I couldn't help it.

Xiao Zhen: Yes, that’s how it feels, but you have to hold back, you have to keep telling yourself that you are a lady, a highly educated, well-bred lady, don’t get angry, stay calm, and smile...

Me: Hmph, I'm almost pissed off, and I'm still smiling...

Xiao Zhen: Hahaha, luckily you don't have to face the reporter.

Me: Ahhhh, I hate having to deal with constant questioning.

Xiao Zhen: Alright, calm down, I'll go and pack my things.

In fact, I was not sleepy. After lunch, I just lay on the bed for a while and tossed and turned, played games for a while, and read novels for a while. When I got up, my parents were sitting outside drinking tea and watching TV. The replay of the Spring Festival Gala was on TV.

My mother called me over and said, "Molly, it's okay for a while. You can go shopping with your mother and go to your grandma's house tomorrow to be taken by relatives."

Me: "Oh, okay...Mom, can I not go to visit relatives tomorrow?"

Mom: "Why don't you go, what's wrong with you?"

Me: "There is nothing uncomfortable, I just don't want to leave relatives."

Mom: "Is it because you are afraid that your aunt and uncle will ask you questions that you don't want to answer?"

Me: "Well, it's so annoying, it happens every time, I have to get to the bottom of it, and I can't be in a hurry."

Mom: "What's the hurry? There's no reason for you to be in a hurry in front of the long crime. If you don't want to answer, you can pretend to be stupid, but you can't be in a hurry, you know?"

Me: "Then it's better if I don't go...to save such trouble."

Dad: "No, yesterday your uncle called and asked you if you came back, and your aunt also asked, your aunt and the others are all going, why don't you go."

Sure enough, my father is the highest authority, and I have no words to respond to what he said. Well, the female warrior is going to go to the battlefield tomorrow to kill all those problems.

The next morning, I got up early and finished lunch. I put on this white down jacket that I liked very much. My mother took a look and said, "Is this what you wear?"

Me: "Ah, what's the matter, the new one is not out of date."

Mom: "I'm not talking about your style, I'm saying that it's inappropriate for your visiting relatives to wear white clothes during the Chinese New Year. You should wear something more festive!"

I was about to cry: "Mom, I haven't brought too many down jackets that take up space when I go home these few days. I just carry this one with me. Can you let me go in the cold?"

My mother thought about it for a while: "By the way, didn't you buy me that new red down jacket? I think you can wear it today. Anyway, I dare not wear it in front of your aunts."

Me: "Mom, did you make a mistake? It was bought for you. Although it is red, the pattern and style on it are obviously suitable for your age. Isn't it even more inappropriate for me to wear it? "

My mother simply took it out and put it on me directly: "Look, isn't this very good, what kind of pattern and style, at least it's red, just wear it."

I am completely speechless, this aesthetic, this generation gap, it is simply impossible to communicate, she is wearing a deep purple jacket and padded jacket, which is quite beautiful and appropriate, I wear her red down jacket, is there any reason...

In fact, it is very close to my grandma’s house, only a ten-minute drive away. My mother is always the first to arrive. This time, only my uncle and aunt are waiting for the aunts to come one by one. I find that the people who are not around are always old. It grew quickly, and I didn't go home often during the years of studying in university and working, and it was obvious that my uncle and aunt had aged a lot, and the wrinkles were obvious.

My aunt smiled when she saw me wearing this red down jacket: "Where did you buy the down jacket, Molly? Why does she look like your mother's age?"

I gave my aunt a thumbs up: "Auntie, you are so amazing, you can tell at a glance, this is for my mother, no, she insists on letting me wear it."

Mom: "Also, if I don't let you wear this, it won't look good if you come here in a white down jacket."

Aunt: "Sister, young people don't pay much attention to this nowadays. They think red and green are vulgar, and white clothes are foreign."

Mom: "It's just this time of Chinese New Year that I'll take care of her, and she's only been by my side for a few days..."

One after another, several aunts, uncles, cousins, and cousins ​​also arrived. Think back to these little cousins ​​who were runny-nosed kids a few years ago, and now they have grown into tall and beautiful boys. Those little cousins ​​who were always crying and fussing have also grown into beautiful girls, I have to sigh how time flies.

After dinner, it was time for chatting, and of course I was most afraid of gossiping relatives asking questions. I followed what my little Zhen said, hold back, calm down, pretend to be stupid, smile, and said ten thousand times in my heart, I am a lady lady lady...

Finally it was 4 pm, because it gets dark early in winter, everyone can go back home one after another. When I get home, I feel exhausted physically and mentally. I have a feeling of wanting to escape, but I still want to spend more time with my mother.

In the evening, I sent a message to Xiaozhen: Xiaozhen, I was really questioned again today, I kept calm and smiled as you said, and behaved like a lady.

Xiao Zhen: My Jasmine is already a lady. It is really hard work for you. Every year, I have the opportunity to experience the feeling of being questioned by gossip reporters.

Me: Hmph, I don’t care about experience, what are you doing, have you returned to your hometown?

Xiao Zhen: Here we are. I am planning with my parents to go outing in the countryside tomorrow. What are your plans for tomorrow?

Me: I don't know...so boring.

Xiao Zhen: You also go out for a walk, take a breath of fresh air, okay?

Me: Then let me see if the weather is good tomorrow.

Xiao Zhen: Tomorrow must be a fine weather!
