Lost (novella) Zhang Baotong

Qiu Wen wanted to marry Xu Bin and asked her mother's opinion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info mother thought Xu Bin was too old, so she never agreed. No, Xu Bin is thirty-five years old, but Qiu Wen is only twenty-three years old, and Xu Bin is still married, but his wife died of illness two years ago. However, Qiu Wen has fallen deeply in love with Xu Bin, and Xu Bin is no longer inseparable from Qiu Wen, so it must be impossible for them to break up.

For Qiu Wen, her mother on one side and Xu Bin on the other are the people she loves the most, and if she is asked to abandon either party, it will make her feel distressed and unbearable. Yes, she often wondered: Why can't the two people she loves the most get along with each other in a loving and friendly way? Now, she has formed two strong chains with her mother and with Xu Bin, and if her mother and Xu Bin can be closely connected again, won't it become a complete and beautiful family relationship.

But the main problem at the moment is with the mother. She insisted that Xu Bin was too old to be suitable. In fact, Qiu Wen also knows that marriage is like shoes, and it depends on her own feelings whether she is suitable or not. Although Xu Bin is much older than her, Xu Bin is warm and elegant, well-informed, very caring and considerate, and is a very likable man. Therefore, Qiu Wen thought that the reason why her mother refused to accept and recognize Xu Bin was mainly because she only considered Xu Bin's age, but she didn't know Xu Bin himself at all.

Of course, she also knew which mother was willing to let her daughter marry a man with a huge age difference? However, she blamed her mother for not understanding her too much, and blindly insisting that she and Xu Bin were in love was a kind of naivety, and even a kind of deception. This made her very sad and annoyed, but she couldn't convince her mother. Perhaps as an elder, the mother always felt that she was much more intelligent and rational than her daughter in terms of marriage matching, like the most discerning connoisseur. However, she does not know how to distinguish between love and marriage, and the role of feeling is often much more direct and accurate than the role of perception.

Moreover, in some cases, she can't tell her mother directly, not only is she deeply in love with Xu Bin, but she has already lived with him, and the two are actually like real husband and wife. However, in any case, if you are not married, you cannot be considered a real couple, and in order to be a real couple, you must be married. Otherwise, if it goes on like this, not only will it not be good for her and Xu Bin's reputation, but also love without marriage is actually like duckweed without roots, which is very unstable. I don't know how men are, anyway, she knows that once a woman falls in love, she is always in a hurry to get married and start a family, so that she can have a stable and comfortable home. However, his mother always emphasized that Xu Bin was too old.

In fact, she doesn't have to ask for her mother's consent, marriage is the business of both parties who love each other, only until the two parties who love each other are willing, and go to the street office together to get the documents. It is not uncommon for parents and families to disagree with lovers marrying and starting families. However, just now she said that her mother and Xu Bin are the people she loves the most, and she will be reluctant to give up either one, so she doesn't want to abandon her mother's wishes and hurt her mother's feelings in order to marry Xu in a hurry. She knew that her father died early, and over the years, her mother had poured almost all of her thoughts and emotions into her, so she wanted to make her mother happy no matter what she did, and she didn't want her to be sad.

In order to let her mother change her attitude towards Xu Bin, Qiu Wen usually kept blowing the wind in her mother's ear, saying how Xu Bin cared about her, how well Xu Bin was informed, and how Xu Bin was proficient in management, almost saying that Xu Bin was the best man in the world. In order to make her mother like Xu Bin, Qiu Wen even taught Xu Bin how to take the initiative to get close to her mother and express herself.

The first time Qiu Wen took Xu Bin to see her mother was on Mother's Day. This action plan was agreed on half a month ago. For this reason, Qiu Wen also took a day off. The weather was beautiful, the spring was very bright, and the temperature was the best time of the year. Although the weather was still a little cool, Qiu Wen asked Xu Bin to change into crisp trousers, a brand new shirt, and a tie, and picked up Xu Bin's whole person like the high-paid staff in the IT department in the TV commercial.

At first, Xu Bin didn't know why Qiu Wen had to put so much effort into his clothes, and thought that he was going to visit a colleague with her, but as soon as he heard that he was going to see Qiu Wen's mother, he immediately panicked, and immediately made an excuse that he had something to do today and wanted to go another day. Because he knew that Qiu Wen's mother had always had a prejudice against him, he insisted on refusing to accept him, afraid that he would be treated coldly by going to Qiu Wen's mother. But Qiu Wen said that the ugly daughter-in-law wants to see her in-laws sooner or later, and you don't even want to see my mother's face, why do you want my mother to be good to you? Xu Bin was persuaded by Qiu Wen for a while, and he also felt that this hurdle would have to be passed sooner or later, so he had to follow Qiu Wen on the road.

Xu Bin and Qiu Wen live in the northern suburbs, and Qiu Wen's mother lives in the southern suburbs, so the two stopped a taxi on the side of the road and came to the front of the shopping mall not far from Qiu Wen's house. Because it was the first time to meet Qiu Wen's mother, and he was afraid that Qiu Wen's mother would not have a good face for him, Xu Bin wanted to buy more gifts. He bought a bouquet of carnations, then a box of Fuji apples and a box of Xinjiang pears because he had heard from Qiu Wen that her mother liked to eat fruit. He originally wanted to buy something else, but Qiu Wen blocked him and said, "Are you crazy, how can you buy so many things?" He realized that Qiu Wen and the things in his hands were too many to take, so he didn't dare to buy them again.

The two fruit boxes were very heavy, and they were very difficult to hold, so Xu Bin had to hold one with one arm, and before he left the mall, he was so tired that he was panting and sweating, and he had to walk around to rest. Qiu Wen said in a gloating tone, "If you don't buy it, you have to buy it, now it's okay, you call it self-inflicted." Xu Bin said, "It's nothing to be tired, as long as your mother can give me a good face." ”

As a middle-aged man, of course he knows that many people don't hate this truth, because gifts are face, and giving more gifts will make him more decent. However, at this point, he still asked Qiu Wen uneasily, "Have you told your mother everything about my situation?" Qiu Wen said, "I only said that you are the owner of a wood processing factory, and there is a small store in the building materials market." It's just a little older. ”

Xu Bin said, "I'm a married person, have you told your mother about this?" Qiu Wen said, "Why do you have to tell her about this? I have been with you, not my mother." Xu Bin complained a little, "Look, look, I told you everything, you should explain everything to your mother, don't let your mother think that I am dishonest and am coaxing you." Qiu Wen was impatient and said, "You coaxed me or not, I know best in my own heart." In order to put Xu Bin at ease, Qiu Wen said, "Look at what you think of my mother? In fact, my mother is the kindest, kindest, and most distressed about me." For my sake, she can give up everything. ”
