Notes on life in the urban-rural fringe area

Zhao's mother didn't understand, so she felt that her husband talked a lot of nonsense: "Is there anyone who asks you such a question, you have to take it home when you have a girlfriend? Since we were young and junior high school, we two should stop doing other things, just watch him go Bring the girl home."

While nagging, he filled up the soup in front of her husband. Father Zhao has the habit of drinking soup while eating.

Chu Hongyi held his chopsticks in his mouth, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Xiao Kan is so old, how can he let him be like this, what is he used to?!" Zhao's father snorted angrily.

"I didn't take any medicine today, did I?" Zhao's mother felt that her husband was very strange today. He couldn't see such a big guest in the family. I said to myself, why don't boys force him to start a family and start a career?

"The child is so old, I don't have my own considerations for what to do. I used to tell me not to worry, but now I'm getting anxious. Is it because Lao Li's son married a rich family that makes you angry?!" - --Lao Li, Papa Zhao's colleague, died in the deputy office all his life, and he was like this when he retired. He had no merits and no faults, so he couldn't help but be like this. As a result, because his son climbed up to the lady of a high-ranking official's family, it was inexplicable Just put it right.Zhao's father is a technocratic bureaucrat, no matter in terms of academic qualifications or ability, he is much better than Lao Li. He originally thought that this was an easy promotion opportunity, but he was pried away.Recently, I hugged my daughter-in-law every day and said that the son-in-law party is terrible.Mother Zhao joked that your son-in-law's Yue's family is no worse than anyone else, and it is also a well-known name in Sijiu City. She doesn't have to blame anyone, but he only caresses his daughter-in-law and laughs.

"Why are you talking about Lao Li again?" Zhao's father winked at his wife, but Zhao's mother blocked it directly. Facing her son, her mother was not so rational after all. Although Chu Hongyi didn't know what happened to Zhao's father, but He still smelled a discordant atmosphere, he was always very sensitive when eating, and the mood at the dinner table now greatly affected his appetite.

So he frowned impatiently, but just happened to be caught by Zhao's mother, and only then did he realize that there was really a guest at home.

"Hey, Hongyi, I'm sorry to make you laugh. Your uncle is in menopause, so don't pay attention to him." Zhao's mother won't treat him as a teacher soon because of Chu Hongyi's eye, and her seniority has also been downgraded by a generation: "Come and eat more, hurry up and take you to Quanjude tomorrow, no matter what, you are here in the imperial capital, if you don't eat special dishes, it's like coming for nothing..."

"No, I'll just take him to eat some special Jingbang snacks, he doesn't like duck." Zhao Qikan said.

Zhao's father could hardly sit still.He simply put down his chopsticks and sighed heavily.

Mother Zhao kicked him hard under the table, feeling that the old man was really out of order today.

Chu Hongyi ate his food in suspense, while Zhao Qikan knew that disaster was imminent.

Zhao's father has a characteristic. Zhao Qikan can no longer say whether it is an advantage or a disadvantage. They all say that children are the continuation of their parents' lives. But Zhao Qikan knew that, at least on his father's side, he was a bit redundant.After he became an adult, his father complained more than once, "Don't run home if you have nothing to do. Your mother and I have ruined the good world of two people. Do you have any insight?"

Things like "little secrets between father and son" and "why dad takes his son to do" that I have heard since I was a child have never happened to me.Whatever happened to Zhao's father, no matter how big it was, he would discuss it with Zhao's mother, so the relationship between husband and wife was surprisingly harmonious. Zhao Qikan rebelliously thought it was because his father had a father-in-law that he couldn't afford to mess with, but later he understood , even if Zhao's mother came from an ordinary background, Zhao's father would have no reservations, because in his eyes, from beginning to end, it was only his mother, respect, equality, and love from the bottom of his heart. The desire to be together for a lifetime does not require any verbal commitment, but it is engraved in each other's hearts like a brand.

This is also the path he and Chu Hongyi are going to take, and he doesn't intend to be swayed by anyone's opinion.

really.After the meal, Zhao Qikan was washing the dishes in the kitchen, and Chu Hongyi continued to read a newspaper in the living room. In the master bedroom, Zhao's mother had already learned a lot about the two of them from Zhao's father.

"This is also my guess. Do you think we are going straight to the point of confirmation? Or on the sidelines?" Father Zhao was a little annoyed, but he didn't want to smoke in front of his wife, so he looked at her eagerly with a toothpick in his mouth.

Zhao's mother's reaction was not as intense as expected, but she brought up a matter that had been shelved for a long time: "I have already said to have another one, you are not happy."

"Aren't I afraid of your hard work... I saw that you stayed in the delivery room for so long, and I hated this child a little at that time. How dare I let you have another one?" Zhao's father didn't understand why the daughter-in-law paid so much attention to it. Not on point, but still took her word.

"Actually, this matter..." Mother Zhao sat down, put her arms around her husband's arm, and casually dropped a bombshell: "I have a little idea in my heart..."

"What?!!" Papa Zhao was stunned. For such a big matter, how did his wife, whose heart is wider than the sea, know it? !So he looked at Mother Zhao with a puzzled expression.

"I...hey, I was curious once, and I went to Zhao Qikan's computer to see that kind of film..." After all, he is not a contemporary youth, and Mother Zhao was a little embarrassed, pretending to cough twice and then said: "Not only There are men and women, and there are men and women..."

"Just because of this?? Maybe I'm just curious... The son follows his mother..." Zhao's father was speechless, and his mother ran to his son's computer to browse A/movies. His wife really broke through the mother's new lower limit.

"No, I used to joke with him, saying that you change girlfriends like this every day, and you don't care about anyone. What do you want to do? , as long as I meet that person, I won't have the idea of ​​looking for someone else again. If I can't meet, I can only keep looking for it. I said don't make excuses for your hard work, what if you just can't find a suitable girl Can I still play like this for a lifetime? He also joked at the time, then find a suitable guy, there are so many people on the earth, and there is no one who can make me feel like a jade?!"

"My heart skipped a beat at the time. I don't know if you still remember my cousin? It's my uncle, the man from Uncle Qi Kan's family? He came here when we got married, and the one who settled in Europe..."

Zhao's father thought of that person, and his heart skipped a few times---that was the most beautiful person he had ever seen, no matter if it was a man or a woman.He knows that the daughter-in-law's family has beauties. From his father-in-law to his brothers and sisters, they are all very outstanding. Although in his heart, the daughter-in-law is an unparalleled beauty in the world, but compared with that person, she is still a little behind. He used a vulgar word to describe his feeling when he saw that person for the first time: absolutely glamorous.

In addition to proving his good background and upbringing, every gesture, every look, and every smile is blinding everyone's eyes. To use Zhao Qikan's words to describe this little uncle later: "Bring your own filter." mirror function..."

And that person is also doing a very literary career---a painter.As the only son, he gave up the Nuo family business, angrily wanted to sever ties with him, and went to Spain to study painting alone, and he was also naturalized by the way.This kind of God-blessed darling is a top-notch person regardless of work or study. Not only is he proud in Europe, but he has recently exported to domestic sales. He frequently holds art exhibitions and lectures in Hong Kong and Taiwan. He is often accompanied by a man who goes in and out-- -Outsiders think they are good partners, but those who know the inside know that they are really "partners". They have been married in Spain, and they are legally married.

"So..." Papa Zhao's straight straight man thinking thought of this man, and suddenly came up with a strange logic, "My son is a thousand miles worse than others, and he dares to imitate others." man?!"

"The matter has come to this, of course I hope that my son will see a beautiful girl like you and can't walk, but if he is not, I will..." Mother Zhao closed her eyes: "I can't be cruel like my uncle. My son... I am a woman, so it is good to take care of my own generation, and the next generation can only do their best and obey the destiny..."

Zhao's father looked at his wife for a long time. He hoped that his son would come to Gongqing without any disasters, but he hoped that he would be a mandarin duck with his wife and not be envious of immortals.He was worried about how difficult his son's future would be. On the one hand, it was because of the inseparable blood relationship between father and son, and on the other hand, he didn't want his wife to think too much at this time. As a result, after looking at it today, his daughter-in-law's heart is really stronger than that of the Pacific Ocean. Not narrow, but a heavy burden was suddenly lifted from my heart.Although I still have worries, I don't lose my composure like I did at the dinner table.

"Then how do we find a suitable opportunity to talk to our children? What are the main things to talk about?" Because the emergency standard of the incident was lowered, Zhao's father generally wanted to discuss a common attitude with his wife.
