Notes on life in the urban-rural fringe area

At dinner time, Zhao Qikan went out to buy vegetables, but Teacher Chu didn't want to follow him, so he stayed in his room and read a book by himself. Generally speaking, Teacher Chu is a very easy-going person, as long as he has a book, he can stay anywhere.The Zhao couple heard their son close the door with a bang sound like thieves. Mother Zhao first blamed her son for an enmity with the door, then sneakily knocked on the "daughter-in-law" --- not the son's partner Because my unlucky uncle introduced his lover like this, with a proud and indifferent look on his face: "This is my partner." Then he took the other's hand, admiring the relatives and friends calmly like watching a monkey. Various attitudes of disgust and collapse.

"Little...Little Chu..." Zhao's mother was inexplicably nervous. Chu Hongyi put down the book and looked up at Zhao's mother with calm eyes without any expression.Mother Zhao subconsciously felt that this child was a little bottomless, and then recalled his performance during this period of time. In fact, he was as dull as a scholar, but he was also cute. Mother Zhao thought, if she finds a smart and capable person, her son It may not be able to cover it either.

"Does Teacher Chu have any plans to start a family?" Although Zhao's mother knew the answer, she could only start from this aspect when facing young men of the right age to open up the topic. Just to inquire about your privacy, what's the matter!Zhao's mother can understand rationally, but emotionally she can't accept the reality that she can't hold her grandson for a while.

"I have no plans to start a family with a girl." Chu Hongyi's answer was very flat, saying something like a bomb was as casual as "eat tomato and egg soup tonight".

"..." Zhao's mother found that this person was really not very good at chatting, so she had to ask dryly, "Why? Is it because of the family environment? Or?"

"I don't like girls. It may be born or acquired. Anyway, I am better at getting along with boys than girls. Of course, I am better at getting along with books than boys. But books can't cook..."

Co-authoring you looking for my son means finding a free cook, right? !

Zhao's mother was already laughed out of anger, just when Zhao Qikan came in, and heard this sentence, her face darkened, Chu Hongyi met Zhao Qikan's eyes, and for some reason, felt a little pain in her buttocks.

Zhao's mother and Zhao's father felt that it was a bit redundant to ask what was serious. They were both young, and neither of them knew what would happen in the future. They could still get divorced after getting married and having children, not to mention such a contract It had nothing to do with the program, on the contrary, it seemed that he was mobilizing the teachers, so in the next few days, Zhao Qikan and Chu Hongyi had a good time in the imperial capital for a few days, and when Zhao's parents got to know Chu Hongyi more comprehensively, they felt that there was nothing good about it. I asked, even if this relationship ends, my son will definitely not suffer, but sometimes he will worry about Chu Hongyi.

Chu Hongyi seems to be stupid in all things except that the things in the books seem to be very professional. If he buys something and calculates the wrong account, he can be deceived by the way.

That day, Mother Zhao took Chu Hongyi out to go shopping. Mother Zhao had been spoiled all her life, and felt that taking a handsome guy besides her son to go shopping would be very honorable in front of her old sisters, so she took Mr. Chu with him like this. passed.The old sisters knew that Mr. Chu was a teacher at a good university in the south. The old sisters thought that she was entrusted by a friend to bring the child to the capital for medical treatment.

"Mr. Chu, are you talking about someone yet?" The old sisters found out that such a high-quality boy doesn't have a girlfriend yet. They were all very active, and immediately thought of a few daughters who would match, and hurriedly prepared to find a partner. .As a result, Chu Hongyi said: "No, I can't treat girls..."

The old sisters are getting older, and usually even if they really can't, they will find various reasons to prevaricate, and each of them is stunned. They have never seen such a man who candidly admit that they are "not good", and they can't help showing sympathy. Mother Zhao is afraid of them. Misunderstood, I just stood by to help Yuanhuo, "Mr. Chu is shy..."

But there are not many people who believe it. People admit that they can't do it. If you continue to explain, it seems very pale and weak.

"Mr. Chu is here in Beijing this time?"

"Play." Just this one word, nothing else.

"..." The old sisters sighed with emotion. These days, looking at high-level intellectuals with full beards and tails is actually quite unreliable. Although their children do not have such a high degree of education, at least they are not only physically normal, but also mentally healthy. normal.

Zhao's mother was speechless and choked watching from the sidelines. Unless such a person finds a girl who truly cherishes her talents, and is willing to use herself as a man for her, and is the number one inside and out, and takes care of the family, can he be regarded as reluctantly. Life is good, but now girls are all little princesses. Marrying in the past is not for the purpose of suffering, so it is no wonder that Chu Hongyi has never been in a relationship until now, let alone getting in touch with him. The son crouched on the bed.

Zhao Qikan and his parents got along with each other tacitly in this way. As a result of the relaxation of the mind, the behavior began to become relaxed and casual. The two had breakfast on the last day in the imperial capital. It was a blur, and Zhao Qikan just came out of the kitchen with fried eggs, and felt funny seeing him staring in a daze. Just as he was about to speak, Chu Hongyi already said, "I want to eat two eggs."

Zhao Qikan's thoughts immediately rushed down the three roads, straightened his stride, and said with a cheap smile: "Come on, I'll give you something to eat."

"Don't eat noodles, eat eggs." Chu Hongyi replied solemnly.

This scene happened to be heard by Zhao's mother who stepped out of her bedroom at the same time.Seeing Chu Hongyi's confused face, he felt that his son's smile was really annoying, so he stepped forward and slapped his son on the back of the head: "Don't bully him early in the morning." He then called Chu Hongyi to wash his face. Hong Yi didn't know what happened the whole time, he just greeted his aunt good morning with a smile, and then went to wash up.

On the way to send them to the train station, Zhao's mother liked Chu Hongyi more and more when she saw the obedient and dull Chu Hongyi. The children in the south were soft-spoken and soft-spoken, and their skin was delicate and slippery. worthy of protection.He kept telling him all kinds of common sense in life.Chu Hongyi listened carefully. He has a very good memory. Even if he doesn't know the meaning of some words, he can write them down so that he can look them up when he has a way.

Zhao Qikan was talking with his father, and Zhao's father patted him on the shoulder meaningfully: "Son, since you have chosen this path, you must face the hardships and setbacks here."

"I know, we live with another couple in Shengzhou, and they also..."

"One of the advantages of living in a big city is that although people are indifferent, the advantage is that you can better maintain your privacy. I don't know what you will encounter in the future, but if one day you are not understood and you are wronged, you will be fine. Bring Xiao Hongyi home, the family can't help you to ask for an explanation, at least they can not be like them..."

"Dad..." Zhao Qikan looked at his father. He and his mother were considered a model couple. They had lived a life of love and happiness. It was because of the overflowing happiness that they didn't seem to care about anything. Perhaps it was because he didn't care about many things that he was able to live a happy life. .They seldom say big words such as life and forever, and they don't talk about grand narratives such as the past and the afterlife. They are just like an ordinary couple in some ordinary families, who rarely quarrel and measure each other Live your life well.

Just like him and Chu Hongyi, Qian Yuanzheng and Shen Xiaopeng, none of them know the future they can't grasp, but they will work hard to manage the present.

The author has something to say:

I haven't updated for a long time, and I can't find where the update button is...

Recently, I have experienced some work changes, and I am quite busy...

The writing of this article is actually very unsatisfactory, and the ending is a bit hasty, because the story of the four of them has already been completed long ago. It is frivolous for men and women living in the world of mortals, in their 20s, to promise each other for a lifetime.The meaning of the four of them is that they have been with me for a year and a half. During this year and a half, my friends and I have experienced many things.I have some new ideas about life, future, career, and love.

In my 20s, I am under the pressure of being forced into marriage by my parents, but I may be nozuonodie. I have my own ideas about marriage and childbirth, and I take actions...

The other one is the well-known reason...everyone understands...maybe your understanding and mine are not the same understanding, but in short, the result is like this...

There will be a new article in the near future, so please don't look forward to it too much.
