34. Meet the parents
It's another weekend in the blink of an eye.
On this day, I made an appointment with Mr. Dai to officially meet my parents, Dai's mother.
Zhu Zhu wore a cyan dress, her hair was draped like that, and she put on a little makeup.
The two had breakfast, and set off from Zhu Zhu's house at nine o'clock, there was a bit of traffic jam on the road, and they arrived downstairs where Dai's mother lived at about half past ten.
Dai Ba knocked on the door several times, but there was no response.
Zhu Zhu is very nervous now, and any irrelevant little thing will stir her nerves.
For example, now, Mr. Dai can't knock on Dai's mother's door.
Zhu Zhu was wondering if Dai's mother had an opinion about herself, or if it was what Xiao Li said.
When the future mother-in-law meets for the first time, she will give her daughter-in-law a dismissal.
But this time, Zhu Zhu really thought too much.
Dai's mother got up early to buy the ingredients back and wash them.
But I didn't wait for anyone, knowing that it must be a traffic jam on the road.
So I went to the supermarket and bought a few more fruits.
"You are coming, come in and sit. ”
"Mom, it's late for the traffic jam today. Mr. Dai opened his mouth to explain the reason for his late arrival.
"Hello Auntie. ”
Zhu Zhu looked behind when she heard the words, wearing her mother's navy blue dress, her black and white hair was all tied up, and she was holding fruit in her hand.
"Zhu Zhu, come in, it's hot outside. ”
Dai's mother opened the door, went directly into the kitchen to get tea, and washed the fruit she had just bought and brought it up.
"Auntie doesn't know what kind of fruit you like to eat, so she wants to buy more. ”
To be honest, in this short period of time, it can be seen that Mother Dai is a very well-bred woman.
Zhu Zhu smiled: "I love to eat fruits." ”
After saying that, he took out a red box from his bag.
"Auntie, this is the silk scarf I bought for you, do you like it or not. ”
Mother Dai took the box with a smile and opened it in front of Zhu Zhu, and what caught her eye was an azure silk scarf printed with peony flowers.
"Zhu Zhu's vision is really good, send it to my aunt's heart, I sit under the air conditioner every day, this silk scarf just comes in handy.
This color is also loved by the aunt.
Zhu Zhu, you're bothered!"
"It's good if Auntie likes it. ”
"I like it, you and Dai Ba will watch TV here, and Auntie will go to cook. ”
Zhu Zhu wanted to get up and go to help, but was stopped by Dai's mother: "You just sit here and eat some fruit." ”
Dai's mother's attitude towards her gradually eased Zhu Zhu's nervousness.
Dai Ba sat with Zhu Zhu for a while, and then got up: "I'll go help my mother, you eat some fruit." ”
Zhu Zhu thought that Dai's mother would not let her, after all, let her son be busy in the kitchen, and few mothers-in-law would do this.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Dai and Dai's mother had a very tacit understanding, and they made four dishes and one soup at half past eleven.
"You kid, you haven't eaten a bite of fruit.
Don't be too nervous, just feel at home.
Come, let's eat first. ”
Dai's mother and Mr. Dai brought the meal to the table: braised pork, stir-fried squid with celery, fried black fungus with dried snow beans and scallops, and garlic broccoli.
The final soup is pork knuckle soup with peanuts, longan and red dates, and angelica.
"These are my aunt's specialties, and the only thing I made for the first time was this garlic broccoli. Dai Ba said that you like to eat this dish the most, and I will learn and sell it now......!
Dai's mother sandwiched a broccoli and put it in the Zhu Zhu bowl, and picked a large piece of pig's feet for Zhu Zhu.
After that, there is no more picking.
"I know that young people nowadays don't like old people to put vegetables in bowls, Zhu Zhu, you can eat what you want.
Dai Ba, you take care of the point. ”
The meal was relatively enjoyable.
From the matter of eating, Zhu Zhu roughly felt that Dai's mother was a very enlightened person.
I thought that after dinner, this meeting of parents would be considered a smooth end.
Unexpectedly, not long after the meal, Dai's mother pulled Zhu Zhu with a solemn face.
"Zhu Zhu, what Auntie says next may not be listened to, but as a person who has come over, Auntie feels that she still has to tell you some things. ”
Zhu Zhu felt a sigh in his heart.
I thought, no wonder it was so smooth when I ate before, and the relationship was waiting for her here.
When a daughter-in-law sees her mother-in-law, how can it be so easy to pass the test.
Dai's mother opened her mouth like this, and Zhu Zhu couldn't shake her hand and say: I don't want to hear it.
had to sit next to Dai's mother and wait for her to open the "golden mouth".
"Zhu Zhu, you have been talking to Dai Ba for so long, you should also know that our hometown is from Seoul.
Although I am in Europe most of the time now, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, have you figured it out yourself, if Daiba does not develop here in the future, return to Seoul.
Would you like to go along?"
When Dai's mother said this, she paused.
Give Zhu Zhu a moment to think.
After a few minutes, Dai's mother continued: "There is a big difference between getting married and falling in love. There is no trouble of falling in love, as long as the two of you are happy.
But when you get married, you form a new family. You need to work as a family unit to deal with the relationships on both sides.
Our side is in Seoul, and yours is in Europe.
Traveling back and forth is harder than you think, and it takes more time, energy and money than other couples.
Have you seriously considered any of this?"
Still the same as before, Dai's mother paused for a few minutes to speak again.
"One more point.
There is no one who does not quarrel when two husbands and wives live.
No matter how good a couple is, so will it.
As your daughter's family, if you quarrel with Dai Ba one day, it will be so far away. Can you bear the gap in your heart?
I myself came from a young age, and whenever I quarreled with your uncle, I couldn't tell my family, the torment was really torturous.
And your situation may be worse than mine.
Not only can you not say, maybe there is no one to support you at a critical time.
Your parents, siblings can't show up to you in time, you have to bear it yourself.
Have you ever figured out whether Dai Ba is worth it for you to pay so much for him?"
Mr. Dai sat next to him, his eyes fixed on Zhu Zhu all the time.
Mom would say these things that he didn't expect.
But it's so realistic, even if you don't spread out these difficulties now, naked, and naked, you still have to pass the hurdle when you get married.
"Again, more realistic.
When you get married, you have to have children. If you're in Europe, it's better if your parents are closer.
In case one day you are not in Europe, but in Seoul.
When you give birth to a child, your parents can't get there in time, and if you have a headache and brain fever later, your parents, brothers and sisters don't say that it's the same as other families.
I can be there in half an hour to shush you and say hello.
These are the prices that need to be paid for marrying far away, for women. It's really too much sacrifice.
Zhu Zhu, Auntie asked you, have you thought about all this?"
