Chapter 75: The son-in-law arrives
The days passed quickly, and the time of a semester quickly passed away in the busy study life, and we ushered in the most anticipated day of our student days - winter vacation. Not only can you rest for a long time, but you can also feel the joy of celebrating the Spring Festival.
Not surprisingly, after the final exams, my grades were not up or down, and I was still in the top 10.
However, the "sequelae" of "messing around" in school before has also been highlighted, physics is still in a failing state, and biology barely reached the passing line with the efforts of "rote memorization", and 60 points can be regarded as an aspect of progress!
Some people will surely ask, why is there no such thing as chemistry?
Friends who are in school or have school-age students at home should know that the chemistry course in junior high school will only be arranged in the first semester of the third year of junior high school, so there was no chemistry course at that time.
There is another thing to be happy about this winter vacation, that is, my sister is going to bring her boyfriend home, and this person is likely to be my future "brother-in-law".
Under normal circumstances, if a man and a woman in love decide to let each other meet their parents, it means that the two have recognized each other from the bottom of their hearts, and they are also eager to be approved by each other's parents.
Of course, feelings are generally inexplicable, and there are many special circumstances, so I won't list them all here.
The future son-in-law comes to the door for the first time, and he has to spend the New Year at home, which is an extremely important thing for every family, and there is a different smell that naturally fills the air.
As far as a normal family is concerned, the mother, as the future mother-in-law, will love her son-in-law very much, as the saying goes: "a son-in-law is half a son", the mother always hopes that the son-in-law can take good care of his daughter, because the son-in-law is the person who can really accompany her daughter for the rest of her life.
But the father is different, he will always "make things difficult" for his son-in-law in every way, and always maintain a serious, "no one is close" expression in front of his son-in-law. Because, my father knew in his heart that in the near future, there would be a man who unceremoniously "snatched" the "little bud" that he had spent countless efforts to cultivate for more than 20 years, so his mood was naturally completely different from his mother's.
To describe this scene in a couplet:
When the father-in-law saw his son-in-law for the first time, he couldn't tolerate two tigers in a forest, so he picked and chose four of them, yelled at five and drank six, and the six gods were worried, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, and he was very disgusted.
The mother first knew "half a child", and it seemed that she could only get nine beauties if she was perfect, but she was afraid of missing eight and seven, looking forward to five, and losing four and losing three in five, and it was difficult to let go of her feelings, and she was a group of harmony.
The premise of the above analysis is "under normal circumstances", but you must know that the situation in my family is naturally "extraordinary".
The most obvious difference is the attitude of the father towards his wife and daughter, to be precise, towards his daughter.
Wei Dong is not tall, about 1.68 meters, about the same as Xiaowei, chubby, with a hint of natural affinity when he laughs. He is one year older than Xiaowei, that is, 12 years older.
Therefore, at that time, he could take care and care of Xiaowei meticulously.
Because of this, Xiaowei, who has lacked father's love since childhood, gradually melted the heart sealed in the "cold ice" under Wei Dong's meticulous care of "moisturizing things silently" and obtained the only right to belong.
Of course, there are no behaviors and obstacles such as "snatching" mentioned earlier, because Xiaowei's father is "not uncommon".
But no one would have thought that Wei Dong would play a very important role in my life in the days to come.
When you come to the door for the first time, you should naturally maintain the etiquette of being only complicated, and you should only give a lot of gifts, and you will always show your best side to your girlfriend's parents.
This is true of all people.
After the normal greetings, topics such as marriage events will inevitably be mentioned in the small talk.
Father habitually opened his mouth with a hint of seriousness: "Xiao Wei, when are you going to get married?"
"Uncle, Xiaowei's plan and I want to be busy with our careers again, and our work will be stable and stable before getting married. Wei Dong answered his future father-in-law's question seriously and cautiously.
It may be that Xiaowei greeted her father in advance and told her father about her difficulty and unreasonableness, so Wei Dong was very modest and cautious whenever he spoke, and maintained considerable respect for his future father-in-law.
"Xiao Wei, our family is all Catholic and faithful Catholics, I don't know if there is any faith in your family?" the father was still a little proud and proud when he mentioned this.
"Uncle, my mother and my eldest brother are Catholics, and he and my eldest brother are both Catholics. Wei Dong replied with a smile.
"Haha! I didn't expect your mother to be a Catholic sister too. The father suddenly became excited, "It's not a family, it's not a family, it's not wrong at all!
His father didn't notice that Wei Dong was saying the words "his mother and eldest brother", and he probably thought from the bottom of his heart that someone in the family believed in Catholicism, which was equivalent to the whole family believing in Catholicism.
The father patted his thigh and exclaimed, "Great! It seems that it is the Lord's inspiration that our two families are destined to come together, thank God, Amen!"
As he spoke, his father made a gesture of folding his hands and closing his eyes and nodding at the same time.
Wei Dong was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw his future father-in-law's performance like this, as if he was not prepared for anything, and he didn't know how to answer, so he simply responded: "Hmm...... Ahh
"Since our two families are so fateful, when you get married, you must go to the Catholic church, let the priest witness the marriage, recite the scriptures and pray for you, and bless you with peace, joy and happiness in your life, and then we will all go to the church to recite the scriptures. "My father was happy to direct the marriage drama in the church.
Wei Dong was obviously not prepared for this, and he was not very happy to be arranged in advance by others like this, as if he hadn't heard it, he sat in front of the black and white TV and turned his voice up.
Later, after researching some psychological content, I found that most people will have this characteristic, that is, "automatically blocking" the language they don't want to hear through various means.
Maybe Wei Dong's method of covering up is more clever, and his father just thought that Wei Dong didn't hear what he said, so he repeated what he just said, "Xiao Wei, I just said that since our two families are so fateful, when you get married, you must go to the Catholic church, let the priest witness the marriage, recite the scriptures and pray for you, and bless you with peace, joy and happiness in your life, and then we will all go to the church to recite the scriptures." ”
Wei Dong was still staring intently at the TV, not answering his father's words.
At this time, Xiaowei realized the same as Wei Dong, picked up the conversation, gave Wei Dong a step, and made her father not so embarrassed, and said: "Dad, it's still a little early to talk about marriage, let's wait for a few more years to talk about it, as for how to arrange it at that time, we will discuss it together." ”
"Fart! Did Lao Tzu discuss it with you?" The father's anger was a little irrepressible, and he scolded directly: "Tell you, Xiaowei, Lao Tzu is not discussing with you, this is an order! No matter when you get married, it has nothing to do with Lao Tzu! What Lao Tzu wants to tell you is that you must go to the Catholic Church to let the priest marry when you get married! Witness the marriage! Recite the scriptures! This is the rule!"
Xiao Wei heard that the hero went crazy again, didn't say anything, and went to the outside room with tears in her eyes, that is, the small outhouse that Xiao Wei used to "belong to", but it was only separated from the inner room by a door frame.
The words of the back room can also be heard clearly.
Wei Dong and I chased out together, and sat on the kang in the outhouse with Xiaowei, Wei Dong occasionally wiped Xiaowei's tears, but after all, he didn't say anything.
When the mother saw the hero's situation, her heart was not good, and the future son-in-law showed the hero's original form for the first time, what should I do? Let the son-in-law look at him in the future? How should I treat him? So the mother hurriedly tried to find a way to give the hero a step, trying to ease the embarrassing atmosphere for the hero.
smiled and said to the hero: "What Xiaowei said makes sense, the children's marriage must be discussed, and the young people like a romantic atmosphere and a relaxed atmosphere, so they will go; Moreover, you said that the children came back to celebrate the New Year with you, and came back to accompany you, you are so fierce, and the atmosphere is so stiff, it is a bit more than worth the loss?"
I never thought that my mother's euphemistic exhortation and pros and cons analysis not only did not work, but also provoked even more excited anger and roaring of the hero, and after greeting my mother's ancestors, I was still a little unsatisfied, and shouted: "Fuck, get out of the way! The woman knows how to tell you, don't say these 'disrespectful' words in front of God in the future!"
The three of us heard it clearly in the outhouse, and this hero's nonsense kung fu was really not blown.
