After getting on with the enemy

The conflict between Zhou's mother and daughter is not complicated. In short, Zhou Xiyun pointed out her sexual orientation. Zhou Huiwen couldn't accept it. She thought it shouldn't be. She thought it was just unconsciousness. If you don't agree, you can't reason with them, and you can't communicate with them, so there is a stalemate again and again, and the two sides break up if they can't agree.

Zhou Huiwen is more stubborn and strong, and doesn't care about Zhou Xiyun's other aspects, but it is definitely not allowed to be gay, no matter what.

The attitude of being a mother is very firm and a bit extreme. At first, she just wanted Zhou Xiyun to try blind dates, and didn’t force her to get married when she would like to get married. But when Zhou Xiyun said that she didn’t like men, Zhou Huiwen couldn’t bear it anymore. Insist on forcing Zhou Xiyun to choose between two, either get married or leave the house.

Zhou Xiyun's attitude is also resolute. Marriage is impossible, so don't even think about finding a man to live in this life, and will not compromise.Since my mother can't tolerate her "problems" for the time being, and can't accept her unusualness, then she will move out of the compound first, and wait until Zhou Huiwen changes her mind before going back. This will not hinder Zhou Huiwen's eyes in the short term, and avoid the dilemma situation escalated.

As for severing the relationship, this was Zhou Huiwen's unilateral idea. Zhou Xiyun still accepted this shit and wouldn't really leave it alone.

After all, it was Zhou Huiwen who worked so hard to bring Zhou Xiyun up. These years, she has never treated Zhou Xiyun harshly. She has devoted herself to cultivating her since she was a child.

There is no such ruthless approach, it is too heartless.

Zhou Xiyun was quite sensible, and never said a single serious word from the beginning to the end. Even if what Zhou Huiwen said was ugly, she didn't argue much, and she didn't want to make it too embarrassing.

Some things can't be forced, you can only do your best to do what you can.

Just as Qiao Yan originally thought, the last cold war between the mother and daughter was indeed related to this matter, but the situation in the freshman year was slightly different.

In her freshman year, Zhou Huiwen took the initiative to ask Zhou Xiyun if she had a boyfriend in University A, and kindly and openly suggested that if her daughter could meet someone she liked, it would be okay to talk to her.When you are young, you always have to keep some memories. University is not high school, and there are no more young people falling in love on campus. It is not surprising for boys and girls with restless hormones to find a partner, and experiencing emotions properly can also enrich themselves to a certain extent. experience.

When Zhou Xiyun was [-] or [-] years old, he was not very wary of relatives around him. Before that, he always thought that Zhou Huiwen was a very avant-garde and tolerant mother. Not interested, don't like this category.

As a result, disaster happened as soon as the words came out, the smile on Zhou Huiwen's face faded instantly, his expression became extremely ugly, and his face was so dark that water could drip out.

At that time, Zhou Xiyun hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation. He misunderstood being a mother because he couldn't digest it for a while, and he couldn't react, so he subconsciously explained it and told him that homosexuality is a normal person and not a monster.Zhou Huiwen's expression was even more frightening, colder than the twelfth lunar month.

After that, Zhou Huiwen beat Zhou Xiyun for the first time in more than ten years.Zhou Huiwen insisted that Zhou Xiyun's three views were immature, and she had a deviation in self-cognition, and ordered her to correct it.Zhou Xiyun didn't understand why Zhou Huiwen was so extreme, so he left impulsively.

The reconciliation in college was all facilitated by the help of Qiao's family. In recent years, Zhou Xiyun and Zhou Huiwen have not brought up the past again, and they each took a step back in tacit understanding, until the blind date at the birthday party on Sunday became the fuse, causing conflicts to erupt again.

Zhou Huiwen acquiesced that Zhou Xiyun had compromised a long time ago. She didn't understand why Zhou Xiyun was still like this, and why she couldn't correct it after so many years. She was so angry that she almost fell ill.

Zhou Xiyun also didn't understand what Zhou Huiwen was working so hard for. He knew that her orientation had been fixed, but he just wanted to change her, hoping that she could recover.

Everything Zhou Huiwen has done since then, including getting Zhou Xiyun to communicate more with Qiao Yan, is all done secretly, trying to use the influence of people around her to correct Zhou Xiyun, hoping that she can live like an ordinary girl, can Get along "normally" with friends and relatives around you.

Both parties have their own choices, and no consensus can be reached.

Zhou Xiyun didn't mind telling Qiao Yan the truth, he didn't hide it, and told everything.

Qiao Yan had never experienced this kind of situation, so he didn't know how to answer the question.Having been neighbors for many years, she knew the Zhou family well, and knew how Zhou Xiyun would feel towards Zhou Huiwen. It would never be hatred or resentment, not even blame, but more likely, she was helpless and had to do it as a last resort.

They have been dependent on each other for so long, and the family relationship can't be broken at will.If Zhou Huiwen could really grit his teeth and give up his daughter, Zhou Xiyun would not be able to respond in the same way.

Qiao Yan moved his lips, opened and closed hesitantly for a while, and then asked softly, "Did Aunt Zhou hit you?"

Zhou Xiyun shook his head, "No."

The answer is so fast, it is a lie.

Qiao Yan raised his hand to touch this person's cheek, stroking her skin with his warm fingertips, caressing her once and for all.

Zhou Xiyun let her touch her and sat still.

Qiao Yan said: "Next time, don't provoke Aunt Zhou face to face, don't be direct." Zhou Xiyun said: "No."

Qiao Yan taught: "Sometimes lying doesn't hurt a piece of meat. Anyway, you are you, and others can't force you. You can verbally agree. Whether you do it or not will be seen later."

Zhou Xiyun: "That's different."

"What's the difference? The consequences of being dealt with are the same, no difference." Qiao Yan said, rubbing Zhou Xiyun's neck, "Isn't he good at reading, and now you are stupid, are you stupid?"

Zhou Xiyun grabbed her arm and rubbed her face repeatedly.Qiao Yan asked softly again: "Does it hurt?" Zhou Xiyun said: "It's okay, I didn't kill you." "Where did you hit?" "Nowhere." "Show me." "It's really all right."

Qiao Yan took Zhou Xiyun to check, and looked around his body.

Zhou Huiwen didn't beat him hard, so he picked up the things at hand and whipped Zhou Xiyun a few times in a hurry. He didn't leave any scars earlier, and there won't be any now.

Zhou Xiyun had no choice but to hide back, but he couldn't earn Qiao Yan, so he followed Qiao Yan after a while.

Qiao Yan was noisy and silent, looking around non-stop for a while, pulling Zhou Xiyun's clothes away for a while but not speaking much, unable to utter a word for a long time.She pinched the back of Zhou Xiyun's hand heavily, pressed it again and again, and at the last moment directly put her in her arms, wrapping around Zhou Xiyun's waist.

Zhou Xiyun comforted her: "It's nothing more."

She tightened her arms, hugged her harder, and said, "Don't move, just hug for a while." Zhou Xiyun hummed.

There is no solution to the current situation, and neither the left nor the right can do anything.

Qiao Yan couldn't do much, and he didn't dare to mess around. He couldn't help much.

Now Zhou Huiwen doesn't know the relationship between the two of them. If he finds out one day, he will probably be even more annoyed, maybe what will happen.

Qiao Yan kissed Zhou Xiyun's cum hair, then put his chin on the man's head, and didn't mention it again afterwards.

Zhou Xiyun also doesn't know how to roll, and when the mood calms down, both of them will be fine.

When Zhou Xiyun picked up the computer again, Qiao Yan asked, "Are you short of money recently?" "No." Zhou Xiyun said, "I still have some." Qiao Yan didn't believe it.Zhou Xiyun said: "I can solve it." "Aunt Zhou cut off your funding?" "Yes."

Qiao Yan pursed her lips, "How much do you want to mend?"

Zhou Xiyun didn't tell, but said vaguely: "Not much, it will be made up after a while." Qiao Yan was worried, "How long will it be?" Zhou Xiyun said, "Within three months."

This time is not long, but not short.

No one can guarantee the changes after three months. If there is a mistake in the middle, it will affect the overall situation at that time, and it will probably all be ruined.

Qiao Yan doesn't understand business, but he still understands this.Isn’t that how some investors fail, the middle link is stuck and unable to make up for a short period of time, and then they lose everything, and the end is miserable.

Sometimes it is lucky to lose money, and there are not a few people who are unable to recover when they lose, and commit suicide by jumping off the building when they turn around.

Zhou Xiyun's investment is not big, but after all, it is not comparable to ordinary people. At that time, selling two houses can easily plug the gap, at least a layer of skin will be peeled off.

Qiao Yan was incapable and couldn't give him enough support.She is still in debt, and there was still a deposit on the card two years ago, but after the large initial expenses of starting a business and buying a house, now she can't even take care of the loan repayment, and there is no money at all, and she is powerless to help.Even if she is struggling to save, earning crazily, tightening her belt and saving desperately, according to the current situation, adding up the income from the store and part-time jobs, and only deducting very necessary expenses, she still can't afford more than 30 yuan a year. money.

30 is not enough for Zhou Xiyun to invest, it is too little.

Qiao Yan opened his mouth several times, but he still didn't say anything.It can't help anything, and it's nonsense to talk about.

Knowing that she was thinking wildly, Zhou Xiyun rubbed her, "Don't worry, I can turn around."

Qiao Yan lowered his head and touched Zhou Xiyun's lips superficially, and said duplicity: "Don't worry."

It's boring to talk too much about the negative side, so Zhou Xiyun leaned over to gag her, closed the laptop and put it on the tea table, and hooked her to sit on her lap.

Qiao Yan cooperated very well and put his arms around Zhou Xiyun's shoulders.

After a long time, Zhou Xiyun kissed her collarbone again, turning the tip of his nimble tongue, Qiao Yan raised his head and raised his chin slightly.

The time alone is still tender, and the external pressure is heavy, the more peaceful and closer they are.Zhou Xiyun said in a low voice: "If you want to go back to the compound, you can go back, don't worry so much." Qiao Yan replied: "Okay."

Zhou Xiyun said: "Leave my mother alone, those are not important."

Qiao Yan didn't answer, she just ran her hands through the black hair that was hanging down on the opponent's back, and wrapped her fingertips around the soft ends of the hair.

Don't care if it's fake, it can't be done.Qiao Yan is afraid of bad things, so he won't find Zhou Huiwen easily in the future, but he will still do other things.

When it came time to return to Xijing Compound, Qiao Yan called in advance and asked her grandma to make a bunch of food, pack it up, and store it in the refrigerator.She was going to stay at home for two nights, but she decided to take a rest for one night instead, lying to Xu Ziqing and grandma that she had something to do the next day, so she didn't have time to stay that long.

Ms. Xu and the others were not suspicious, and they also knew that the packaged food was brought to Zhou Xiyun, so they didn't ask much.

Grandma missed Zhou Xiyun so much that she packed boxes full of them, wishing she could empty out all the ingredients in the refrigerator and bring them with her, so she prepared two bags full.The old man didn't care about the messy things, and when Qiao Yan went back, he stuffed a handful of money into his granddaughter, insisting on letting Qiao Yan keep it in his pocket.

Qiao Yan refused and pushed it back.

Grandma must give it to her, muttering: "There are so many people and mouths on your side, how can the expenses be enough?" Qiao Yan couldn't laugh or cry, "I have it myself, so don't give it to me." He said he was in short supply and refused to take the money back.

In the end, it was Xu Ziqing who interrupted the grandfather and grandson and asked Qiao Yan to take the money.

Xu Ziqing knew only a little about the current situation of the Zhou family, and knew that Zhou Xiyun must be having a difficult time recently, so she avoided her grandmother and took Qiao Yan upstairs to ask a few questions about how Zhou Xiyun was doing.

Xu Ziqing sighed: "Your Aunt Zhou is also really, caressing about what to do with a child, not everyone is free when they grow up, and they can control everything everywhere."

At first hearing this, Qiao Yan thought Xu Ziqing had figured out the inside story, and asked, "Did Aunt Zhou tell you?"

Xu Ziqing asked back, "What are you talking about?"

Qiao Yan said tactfully, "On that matter..."

"What's the matter?" Xu Ziqing didn't understand, and said bluntly, "I didn't see Huiwen a few days ago, and sent two WeChat messages, but she didn't reply to me, and she didn't even answer your grandma's phone call. Sigh, I don't know if it is Still angry, I went abroad on a business trip, so I came over to say hello before I left, and asked your grandma to look after the house."

Only then did Qiao Yan realize that Xu Ziqing was still in the dark, so he stopped him in time, saying indistinctly, "Maybe he was in a hurry and the schedule was sudden."

Xu Ziqing couldn't hold back what was going on in her heart, and said that Zhou Huiwen was asking too much of her daughter, and felt that it was because of being an elder who worried too much to get to this point.In fact, Ms. Xu can't understand Zhou Huiwen, who is of the same generation. She has experienced a marriage that ended halfway through, and she knows that marriage is not a must for everyone, just like when she was with Qiao Yan's father back then. It hasn't been away for a few years.During the years of raising Qiao Yan, Xu Ziqing never thought about remarrying, enjoying the state of being single and struggling, and never thought about finding a partner.

Ms. Xu's ideas are traditional and open. When she got divorced, she put all her energy into fighting for children. She felt that a woman must have offspring no matter what. Now that I have a child, I have the ability to support my family, so why bother to find another man.If she had remarried when Qiao Yan was young, she would definitely be asked by her new lover to have at least one more child.

Qiao Yanwo slumped on the sofa, without making a sound, hesitated again and again before saying: "Mom, if I don't plan to get married, what will you do in the future?"

Xu Ziqing applied the essence to the small mirror, patted her face and said, "What can I do, I can't let you go."

Qiao Yan fell down, leaning on Ms. Xu's back, doubtful: "Really?"

Xu Ziqing said: "If you can get married, get married, maybe you will meet a good man. Men are not necessarily bad, your grandpa and your father are good, especially your grandpa, I really can't pick a second one for your grandpa. Okay. Your dad... your dad didn't feel sorry for us, he and I just don't fit, and separation is beneficial to both of us. "

"Then what if I don't meet?" Qiao Yan asked.

"If you don't find it, there is nothing you can do. If you don't have it, then you won't have it." Xu Ziqing replied, grabbing her daughter's face with her backhand, "You are still young, so if you have the opportunity, try to find more. Grandma doesn't care if she wants to, if you are willing to give birth to a baby, we can help you take care of it for a few years."

Qiao Yan was funny, he didn't expect Xu Ziqing to be so much more open-minded than Zhou Huiwen.Although Xu Ziqing had said some things before, Qiao Yan didn't take it seriously. Now that she listened to it, she realized that Xu Ziqing was serious.

She contemplated for a while, and tried roundaboutly: "Yes, with you and grandma, I don't have to worry. And in the future, I can also spend time with my girlfriends and friends. Everyone helps and takes care of each other, so I won't be lonely, right?"

Xu Ziqing didn't agree, didn't hear the deep meaning in the words, thought that the girlfriends were referring to Rong Yin and the others, and said: "It's impossible, when Rong Yin has a partner and starts a family in the future, how can he still take care of you. We were together when we were young It's okay to play, but when you get older, you will live your own life."

Rong Yin's sexual orientation is not a secret, Qiao Yan said bluntly: "Rong Yin won't get married, she doesn't like men."

Xu Ziqing pinched the tip of her nose, "That's now, it can't be guaranteed in the future."

Qiao Yan said, "If she's looking for something, she'll be looking for a girl."

Xu Ziqing didn't take it seriously, thinking that Qiao Yan wasn't realistic enough and didn't understand the sinister nature of human beings.

Legal couples who have obtained the certificate will break up, not to mention unreliable emotional contracts, and it is much more difficult for same-sex couples to bring up children than singles. The latter are at best pitiful in the eyes of the public and sometimes gossip, but they can barely bear it. The former is difficult. No matter how a small number of people think about it, in the worldly concept, it is always a different kind, and it will be despised and excluded by the group.

No parent in the world wants their child to be gay. She/he would rather live alone than have their child take this path and suffer all kinds of criticism.

This is true for families and children.

Qiao Yan's throat suddenly choked, and he didn't know how to speak.

Xu Ziqing was very emotional, and sighed: "Rong Yin is also quite difficult, this child will..."

Qiao Yan fell silent. She rested her head on Ms. Xu's shoulder and moved irritably.

The next day, he returned to the small villa with big bags and small bags, and shared all the food and drink with Zhou Xiyun.Qiao Yan never said any unpleasant things, and when she went upstairs, she lay down a little dejectedly, staring up at the ceiling in a daze, her mind was full of what her mother had said.

What Ms. Xu said is quite reasonable, there is nothing wrong with it.

Human beings seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Youth is one time, and old age is another time.

Rong Yin once said that in their group, many people regretted it when they were in their 30s, turned around and left their partners and resolutely went to find a man. In the worldly stream.

Qiao Yan knew that Zhou Xiyun was probably not this kind of person, but his chest just felt congested, which made him uncomfortable.After struggling out of her depressed mood, she sat up, pulled on her slippers and went to the opposite room.

The opposite door was ajar and unlocked, and Zhou Xiyun was taking a bath in the bathroom.The bathroom door was not locked either.

Qiao Yan didn't knock on the door, but turned the handle, opened it and went in.

Hearing the sound, Zhou Xiyun lay on his side in the tank and looked over in response.Qiao Yan didn't even bother to make up excuses such as breaking in by mistake, and went straight forward.

Zhou Xiyun pulled the towel reflexively, and asked, "What's the matter, what's the matter?"

She threw off her slippers, went into the water with bare feet, poured into the opponent's arms, and said softly, "I can't find you if I have nothing to do?" Zhou Xiyun said, "The clothes are all wet..."

"Whatever, I'll have to wash it later." Qiao Yan said, burying his head in the man's wet neck, his face covered with water.

Zhou Xiyun was keenly aware of her anomaly and sensed that she was unhappy, so he had no choice but to hug her in this untimely environment, and did not drive anyone out, allowing her to pollute the clean hot water.

Qiao Yan was like a lifeless puppet, his whole body was limp, unable to check and pull his head, clapping his hands.Zhou Xiyun touched her back and tied her hair up to prevent it from getting wet.

After a long time, Qiao Yan asked in a low voice: "Zhou Xiyun, will you regret it in the future..." Zhou Xiyun said softly: "What do you regret?" Qiao Yan said: "What you are doing now." Zhou Xiyun replied: "No. ""What if it doesn't turn out as you expected?""Neither will.""Why?"

"It's useless and unnecessary." Qiao Yan reached out and grabbed one of the man's shoulders.

Zhou Xiyun said: "Even if you want to regret it, it's too late, it's too late." Qiao Yan whispered: "Not necessarily, there are still many years to come."

Zhou Xiyun caressed the back of her neck, thought for a while, and said softly, "I can't turn back before it's too late..."
