Two weeks after this first nervous visit, she informed me again on Saturday when we were shopping: "My father told you to come over at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, don't buy anything, this time the elders in the family want to see you, are you free?"

"Don't worry, such an important thing, you must have time!", my heart is a variety of five flavors, my nervous heart is beating more and more, a little scared and a little stage fright, but I firmly believe that this is my happiness, and it is also the "exam" I must pass. Later, I found out that she had a showdown with her father, disagreed with her marriage to me, and eloped with me and flew away. Her father couldn't resist her, so he had no choice but to gather the elders in the family to discuss countermeasures and learn about my situation on the spot.

The next day, according to her request, I carried a lot of fruits as scheduled, obediently dripping winter, the small living room as soon as I entered the door is the last time I was scared of the eight immortal table, inside the eight immortal table is a three-seater leather sofa, and the sofa is already full of people, it is simply the "nine sesame officials" in the three sessions of the triage, grandma, her godfather godmother, uncle, aunt and her mother are sitting on the edge of the sofa with two stools, and the chief examiner "leopard head" I sat on the opposite side of the Eight Immortals Table, and as soon as I entered the door, the examiner ordered me to sit opposite the door and enter the door, so that almost all the elders could see this rare hairy foot crab.

It's just that this time the "leopard head" is completely different from the last time, just like the "Hai Gonggong" who received the holy decree in the "Lu Ding Ji" movie, full of forced "sincere" smiles: "You are in love with my daughter, do your parents know?"

"Uncle, I know, I can't hide it, Yumei has already met my parents, and she also took leave to attend my grandmother's funeral, I am very moved!", since "Father-in-law Hai" already knows, I pushed the boat and explained it.

"And what is your parents' attitude?"

"Uncle, my parents' opinion is that as long as we both like to have fun, they will fully support it!"

"What about the house where you got married? Your parents are going to buy a house in Kunshan for you to marry, and it is impossible for me to marry a daughter to your Changzhou," he finally asked me about my weakest question.

"Uncle, my parents have already told me about this matter, you can get married in Kunshan or Changzhou, listen to and respect the woman's arrangements and opinions!", I want to divert the topic from "Father-in-law Hai".

"Then how did your parents arrange and consider the matter of the wedding room for marriage here in Kunshan?", "Father-in-law Hai" chased after him like staring at "Chapter 72".

"Uncle, I will report this matter to you and the elders here: my parents are ready to sell the house in the city and gather 150,000 yuan for the two of us to buy a 70-square-meter small apartment in Kunshan for marriage, but I refused, because after they sold the house, they can only go to the rental car warehouse to live, the ventilation and lighting are not good in all aspects, and it will not be good for their health, they are just my son, and I am not filial piety by their side, I can't bear to send my parents to the rented garage to spend their old age, I love your daughter deeply, but if my parents have no place in my heartIn the future, your daughter will not have a place in my heart. I said what I had to say, and only one elder understood it.

"Then do you agree to be a son-in-law?"

"With all due respect, it is impossible for me to fulfill this request, uncle, I just told you, my parents are only one of my sons, no matter what, it is impossible for me to escape the responsibilities and obligations that I should say as a son!" I am neither humble nor arrogant to express my inner true self.

"Then how to do this", Grandpa Hai was a little at a loss.

……

After a while, the elders here began to discuss in Kunshan dialect in front of me, I didn't understand a word, I just thought about why I didn't see her at home today, it turned out that all the elders of her family asked her to leave, she was not allowed to speak on the spot, and she wanted to "close-book exam" me alone.

After a while,

"Why don't you ask your parents to come to Kunshan to meet and talk to us?"

"Yes, uncle, they are actually very happy to see you and your aunt and the elders here, when it is convenient for you, let me inform my parents!"

"You speak Mandarin very well, so let's let you know after we discuss it, you can go back first", after this exam, "Hai Gonggong" finally found the only bright spot in my body.

In this way, I held the only affirmation given to me by the examiner, with a worried heart, bowed unsettled and retreated to the "palace" door, and as soon as I went out, I saw her who was already waiting for good news at the staircase on the first floor, and I told her the content of the "exam" inside. I already seem to feel the showdown between her and the family: I don't want to marry. And I am even more determined to let her not regret this life!

A few years later, I asked her: "Wife, why did you have a showdown with your family and consider marrying me in the first place, I was a "four-no" grass dog with no house, no car, no money and no education?" She replied: "I was touched by your honesty and willingness to endure hardships."

Later, I learned about what they discussed in Kunshan: "Father-in-law Hai" did not agree to this marriage at that time, but he was a person who had no culture, had never seen the world and had any opinions and ideas, and listened to her godfather's words in everything, and his godfather was also the general manager of the real estate company and a well-informed, well-read and well-read person in this family, who had seen the world, and he said to my father-in-law: "I feel that this child can do it, there is no problem!" Judging from his conversation and politeness, his family style and family education should be strict and decent, and his words are also very true and sincere, without any hypocrisy and slippery tone, I can also see that this child loves our sister very much, I think there is no problem! I believe that he will definitely be good to his sister."

Eight years after we got married, when I bought a townhouse and invited their elders to dinner, my godfather said to my father-in-law who was sitting on the side: "Old uncle, you see that my vision back then was not wrong, you have been in Kunshan for decades and have not been as good as your son-in-law who has come to Kunshan for 10 years." ”
