Chapter Seventy-Four: Mother-Daughter Dialogue
"I want to talk to you about Zhang Tong. Jiang Hua's mother, Wang Qian, looked at Jiang Hua very seriously.
"Mom, can't you wait for me to finish eating and talk? If this jelly pot is cold, it won't taste good, and the yellow eel won't be crispy. Jiang Hua wanted to change the subject.
But Wang Qian refused to give in: "Eat, eat, eat, just eat, can't do." You can't buy groceries for such a big person, you say that you live outside by yourself and can't even cook, you tell me to worry about you. ”
"I've been saying, you get a boyfriend, you get a boyfriend. It's not your mother urging you, you're not too young, aren't you?"
Jiang Hua rolled his eyes in his heart, is this also called not urging? Obviously, it is a ghost who is urging his life, okay, he has come from Shuangqing to Huaihai.
Wang Qian ignored her daughter's secret eyes, she said very seriously: "Huahua, you really can't take care of yourself. Your dad and I both know that you're very good at what you do. But you have never been good at dealing with you in life, so the boyfriend you find in the future must be able to take care of you. ”
"Oh, you're so annoying. "Jiang Hua really wants to say: don't listen, don't listen, Wang Ba recites the scriptures. But if you say that, you will definitely be beaten by my mother.
"What's the bother, I'm talking to you about serious things. Wang Qian knocked Jiang Hua: "The current era has changed, and it is different from the era of me and your father." Now there is no rule that the male protagonist must be outside and the female protagonist must be inside. ”
"In this era, it's okay for the male protagonist to be inside and the female protagonist to be outside. Life is all about going together. Do you remember the old Li family next door to the old house where we used to live? Their son has been submissive since he was a child, and he has been bullied at school, and he wants you to help him with his affairs. ”
Jiang Hua was a little impressed: "I remember." What's wrong?"
"I always thought that this child would probably not be able to support a family in the future, too timid and honest. Speak and act only submissively. Wang Qian said with some emotion: "But his mother is shrewd and found a spicy wife for his blind date." ”
"Didn't their family set up a stall to sell Xiba tofu? Now let the son of the old Li family specialize in making tofu, and let his wife do the things on the scene by selling tofu. Now that she has been married for more than two years, her life is also prosperous. ”
"So, there is a division of labor to get by. If one party is too weak, the other party can't be weak, otherwise the family will not be able to hold up. One side is weaker, and the other side is stronger, so that they can complement each other's strengths and weaknesses. Just like you, you're smart, but your personality is too strong. Wang Qian stared at Jiang Hua and said, so that Jiang Hua's chopsticks that were about to eat yellow eel had to stop.
"Your cleverness is used in handling cases and handling things. But you are very stupid in terms of feelings and life. Jiang Hua disagreed with this evaluation, she waved her arms and protested: "Nonsense." ”
Wang Qian ignored her daughter's protest and continued: "So, if you want to find a boyfriend, you can't find someone who is particularly smart." You can't handle those particularly shrewd and calculating boys. Be honest, do your duty, and even say that you don't have the ability to do anything. ”
Wang Qian, as a mother, is completely thinking and planning for Jiang Hua. She is a very smart woman, unlike ordinary parents, who must find a shrewd and capable boyfriend or husband if they want their daughter. Instead, he said something like this that he didn't have any ability.
Wang Qian naturally had her own plans when she said this: "Mom told you very seriously, whether you have the ability to find a boyfriend or not, it is not particularly important." Speaking of which, is there a shortage of money in our family? No, at least in Shuangqing, our family is doing well. I don't want you to find any golden beetle son-in-law. ”
"But I'm afraid that the boyfriend you are looking for is too shrewd and capable, and even you are calculating together, and you are stupid and don't know. ”
"Mom, don't say that my IQ is so low. Jiang Hua was dissatisfied.
"Did you have an IQ of more than sixty when you fell in love?" Wang Qian glared at Jiang Hua very dissatisfied, remembering some past events, Jiang Hua instantly lost his temper.
"So, honesty and duty come first. Men who don't put their minds to it are the most important. Good to you, diligent and not particularly shrewd. These conditions must be met, because only in this way can you suppress him!" Wang Qian said the most important thought.
"You have to have a strong personality, whether you fall in love or get married later, there will definitely be bumps and bumps. There must be a compromise on one side. At this time, you can suppress this kind of man. Mom, this is for your sake, so that your life can be happy. "Wang Qian is really her own mother, she is completely thinking about Jiang Hua's future life.
"Unless your partner has a particularly high EQ, but the chances of someone with high EQ still dying on you are too small. Otherwise, it's better to be honest. I'll tell you the truth, Huahua, your father is old. Now I am very tired of stir-frying every day, and I can't do it for a few years at most. You can't wait until your dad is 60 years old and still in the back kitchen with a big shovel to fry ingredients. Wang Qian's words made Jiang Hua's mood drop.
Her father, who used to be majestic and tall, is also old! His back is no longer as straight as when she was a child.
"I discussed with your father, and there is an important condition for you to find a partner in the future. That is to be able to take over your father's craft, your father and I worked hard for more than 20 years to establish such a hot pot restaurant, if it fell down, it would be a pity. That's our life's work. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Qian was a little emotional, and Jiang Hua was silent.
"I went to see Zhang Tong and got in touch with him. This boy is okay, although not particularly good, but basically meets the requirements. Wang Qian said what she thought.
"He's a little bit smart, you can tell from the way he chases you. But on the whole, he is still honest and responsible. I watched his kitchen today with him in the preparation of food and ingredients. ”
"It's not easy for a man to open a restaurant and keep the kitchen so organized. His kitchen is cleaner than your bedroom (Jiang Hua: Where is it!). And watching him handle the ingredients, his cooking is really reassuring. ”
"Every ingredient is cleanly handled, and that's all I can do when I cook for you. He can open a restaurant to customers with such care, which shows that this person is very real. Nowadays, there are too many shrewd men in society, and there are few such sincere people. And I think he cooks quite well, and when he uses a knife, it's like making a movie. He should be fine at our hot pot restaurant. ”
Jiang Hua helplessly supported his forehead: "Mom, are you planning to sell me?"
"Listen to me!" Wang Qian took Jiang Hua's hand over: "Overall, I am still satisfied with this boy." There are two points, the first is his age, he is older. He is thirty-five years old on his ID card, seven years older than you. The other thing is that he is a returnee, which I am not particularly happy with. ”
"But there are good places, he is a good cook. And when the parents are gone, there is no need to worry about the parents-in-law. His store is also his own, which is also a small asset in Huaihai. I'm not against you dating him, you can give it a try. If you get together, you will be together again, and if you can't get together, you will be separated. You're not too old, and everyone is old when you drag it down, what do you say?" Wang Qian said while holding Jiang Hua's hand.
"Hey~" Jiang Hua sighed, in a complicated mood.
