Start with "pro"

Aunt Liu didn't move.She sat across from her stiffly, and involuntarily straightened her body, as if she was facing a formidable enemy.

This feeling was so inexplicable but it made her nervous, she had a terrible premonition, a voice in her head reminded her to leave quickly, don't stay here and listen to Zheng Yuming's nonsense, but her body couldn't move an inch, she could only sit there silently Put on a gesture of resistance.

Zheng Yuming clenched his fist unnaturally, and continued: "It should have been given to you long ago, but I was afraid that Mr. Qi would think too much, so..."

"Now you are not afraid of him thinking too much?" Aunt Liu stared at him, her eyes were red, a little scary, "Xiao Zheng, let's talk about what you have to say, what are you doing like this?"

"Auntie..." Zheng Yuming shouted, quickly lowered his head, and said in embarrassment, "I...I asked you out today, but actually...I want to ask you something."

Aunt Liu had a strong premonition, and she used the posture of holding up the cup to drink tea to cover up her uneasiness: "What's the matter?"

Zheng Yuming raised his head slightly, trying to keep his expression and tone calm as usual: "I'm afraid I won't be able to stay with Qi Jun in the future."

The cup in Aunt Liu's hand fell from her hand, the small blue and white porcelain cup knocked on the wooden table and made a dull gurgling sound, and the hot tea spilled out, splashing her all over.She didn't seem to notice, but just glared at the person opposite: "What are you talking about?! What do you mean you can't be with him anymore? Can you say such unlucky words casually?"

"I..." Zheng Yuming rarely faced the powerful Aunt Liu directly, and was speechless for a while.

Aunt Liu brushed off the water stains floating on the cashmere coat, raised her hand to stand up the cup, and the bottom of the cup hit the table heavily, making a loud bang.She lowered her eyes, picked up the hot water on the small stove, poured tea into the cup slowly, but said very sternly in her mouth: "Speaking out is like pouring out water, it's hard to regret when it's so hot. You young people are irritable, and you never speak with your brains. Do you know what it means to be cautious? You said you can’t be with him, why, you still want to get married when you are seriously ill? Don’t be afraid of illness, our family is governed, and you want to marry a wife? Then don't provoke my son back then! If it wasn't for these two things, why would you separate from me!"

She has an ordinary face, and when she smiles, she looks like the most ordinary and enthusiastic aunt on the street, but when she gets angry, her almond eyes widen and her red lips curl coldly, she has the majesty of an empress dowager.Liu Qijun was most afraid of his mother's staring eyes. Zheng Yuming didn't see much, so he was naturally unprepared. He froze in his seat, completely forgetting that Liu Qijun provoked him first, so he could only grumble, "No...not..."

"Then take it back!" Aunt Liu snorted, then picked up the teacup and drank half a cup to calm herself down, reminding herself of what her son had said to her in advance a few days ago.She took a deep breath and let it out slowly, looked at Zheng Yuming, and said slowly, "Yuming, what's the problem, tell us, what can't be solved by our family? You can't do it, There is Xiaojun, if he can’t do it, we are here.”

This was said in a friendly and gentle manner, without any unfamiliarity or politeness.Zheng Yuming's eyes were slightly red, and he turned his head uncomfortably.Although Aunt Liu did not have confidence in the relationship between him and Liu Qijun at the beginning, since they officially met, Aunt Liu really treats him as a family member, and she often thinks about letting them go home for dinner together on weekends, and what gifts the client gave Will also specially leave a copy for him.Although he has not been to Liu's house again because of his busy schedule, he has always missed the kindness of his uncle and aunt.

Now that he is about to say something that hurts their son, Aunt Liu still thinks of him everywhere.

Such a good elder, how can he let him speak out the words in his stomach?

Seeing his struggling expression, Aunt Liu softened her heart a bit, but she hardened her heart when she thought of what he might say, and persuaded her little by little according to what her son taught her: "Xiao Zheng, I know that your mother's illness makes you feel sick. You are very worried, and you must feel uncomfortable taking care of her abroad during this period of time. But you can't be so confused. "

"Auntie..." Zheng Yuming turned his face away, smiled wryly, and stared at her blankly, "You know what I want to say, don't you?"

Aunt Liu's complexion changed, and she was furious: "I don't know what you are going to say!"

"You know..." Zheng Yuming paused, and then said, "You don't know, so let me say..."

Aunt Liu immediately lost her temper: "What are you talking about! Drink tea!"

She was so childish that Zheng Yuming laughed bitterly, and the big stone in his heart was lifted a little bit.

Normally, he might still tease Aunt Liu's childishness, but now he just reached out to refill her a cup of tea, and said slowly, "Auntie, let me finish my sentence."

Aunt Liu pursed her lips and looked at him with a stiff face.

"My mother had an accident this time, and it really scared me." Zheng Yuming started with this sentence, but the expression on his face was very calm, as if he had settled a lot after going through these days. "I probably haven't told you, what kind of personality are my parents? They are very independent and have their own careers. Probably because they are engaged in art-related industries, they have many common languages ​​and their personalities are weirder than others, but They hit it off very well, for so many years, although they are not close to me, the relationship between husband and wife is very good."

Aunt Liu listened quietly.

"My mother was in an accident this time, and my father was also frightened. Except for the necessary things to go out, he would stay with her, just within her reach. For more than a month, I helped take care of my mother, and my father also stayed behind. At home, it is rare for a family of three to get together so well, and there are not so many messy entertainments. To be honest, since I can remember, there have been no more than five such days." Zheng Yuming moved the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to make a Joking expression, but the content of the words is too bitter, his smile looks very ugly.

So he pursed the corners of his mouth and continued: "This kind of life is too real and homely. It's not a big deal, but it's very reassuring. Someone in the family is thinking about it, caring about it at all times, and saying good night to each other before going to bed. I used to think that on such a day, finding Only the right person can be found, so I tried my best to get in touch with different people. I searched for a long time...in fact, I can’t say how long, for about a few years, there were all kinds of people around me, but I still didn’t have a sense of belonging. Later I I just went to the dating agency to ask you for help..."

Speaking of this, he showed a sincere smile: "At that time, the people in the dating agency said that you were the gold medal matchmaker in the store. I heard the recommendation for a while, and went to you with the mentality of giving it a try, and then...you Let me know Liu Qijun."

Aunt Liu's nose was sore, and she continued: "Yeah, I just asked him to go over to make up the number. Who knew that you knew each other like this, and you really got together later."

"Thank you, really." Zheng Yuming glanced at the envelope on the table, and said with a smile, "Actually, I think the money is too little. It's really a big loss for you to introduce such a good person to me."

"What's wrong, my son likes you." Aunt Liu sniffled and scolded with a smile, "My white-eyed wolf, ever since I met you, even his parents have been forgotten."

A little shyness floated on Zheng Yuming's face, but he just smiled softly: "How could that be?"

Aunt Liu was stung by the sadness mixed with happiness in his eyes, she turned her face away and continued to expose her son's shortcomings: "He has made money by having you. Where can I find a good boy like you?"

"What's wrong with me?" Zheng Yuming asked lightly, before she could answer, Gu Zi continued, "I'm about to break up with him."

"..." Aunt Liu glared at him immediately, as if she was very angry at his stubbornness, "What are you going to do? Are you guys at odds with each other or is there a property dispute? Is he sorry for you or are you sorry for him?"

"Not at all." Zheng Yuming said calmly, "It's just that my parents are getting older, and they also want to enjoy the family happiness. As a son, how can I not satisfy this small wish? You see, things in the world That's how it usually is. What I've been looking for for so long, they're looking for, and around, and we've found it, it's just . . . too far away."

Aunt Liu immediately said: "Let them go back to China for the elderly! We have good greenery, good air, convenient transportation, and very prosperous traffic. There is air conditioning in summer and heating in winter. There are no typhoons or earthquakes. My community is the most suitable for the elderly. Lao Zhang in the next building has started to grow vegetables on the roof! And Aunt Bai..."

She kept talking, and she didn't even know what she said.It's just that Zheng Yuming's words made her so sad that she couldn't help nagging.The other party just listened quietly without interrupting her, but her gaze became softer and brighter. Afterwards, when she saw the tears in Zheng Yuming's eyes, she could only stop dryly, and asked with some grievances: "Why are you crying? I haven't cried yet!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that she had already choked up, and her tone had changed.

Zheng Yuming didn't explain, but just looked at him with a pair of forbearance tearful eyes, let the tears blur the lens, forced the feeling of gradually breaking down in his heart, and said word by word: "Auntie, I'm sorry, I know I'm not good, please trouble me You have been hurting you and your son for so long, but... I'm really sorry, I... I... I dare not look for him first, I'm afraid I won't dare to see you after I finish speaking..."

Tears were streaming down his cheeks. He kept the same posture, not daring to wipe them off, but said intermittently in a voice that had changed its tone: "Actually, I've been thinking about it on the plane, what should I tell you, I typed a lot of drafts, but it was useless... I originally thought, give you the introduction fee, and give you a little more, please find him a better person..."

When Aunt Liu heard this, she became furious, and was about to yell at this heartless person, when he bit his lip and sobbed a few times, tears streaming down a dike, with a sad expression: "But I can't bear to... Auntie, I can't bear it... He is so good, I found him so hard, I love him so much... How can I be willing to give him up to others? But... But I want to break up with him, I don't want him, Why should I not let others like him? I am still afraid that he will be angry and hate me... Aunt... Am I being selfish? "

His body began to shake, and his thin body was crumbling.
