Chatting with my friend Yu Fengfeng at night, I learned that she was also experiencing a similar marriage urging encounter as her.

"When I went home this time, my mom introduced me to a blind date again. Blind dates will feel very awkward at first, but no matter how awkward we are, we can't resist our parents, so we get used to numbness after more times. You're just getting started, and after a few more experiences, you'll be able to die like me now, and I'm not afraid of boiling water. ”

Yu Fengfeng has already developed the mentality of a predecessor who has come over.

"I feel so tired, and my mom and I have completely different extremes of how we treat me as if I was married or not. She thinks that a woman must get married in this life, and it seems that I am still single has become a big pimple in her heart, and she is eager to solve my big pimple, so she never listens to my opinion and my words. ”

Qiao Anning lay on her side on the bed, and in the dark room, only the phone glowed with a faint blue light, shining on her side face.

"She didn't seem to care if I liked it or not, she just kept telling me in my ear that this person was a good fit and that person was in good condition. Obviously, I am the one who wants to get married, but my subjective feelings are completely out of their consideration. ”

There was a sigh of resignation from the other side of the phone.

"It's all the same, and so is my mom. In the eyes of parents, it is practical to live a suitable life, and if you tell them that you like it, they will only ask you that you don't get along with others, how do you know that you won't like them?

Yu Fengfeng seemed to be drinking water, Qiao Anning heard the sound of drinking water, she paused for a while before continuing: "Sometimes I think what they say is indeed quite reasonable, but I always feel that I am unwilling, I don't want to accept my fate like this, and I have wronged myself." Alas, they are all hard-working children, we can only take one step at a time and see who bows first. ”

......

Since my mother has made up her mind to marry her off this time, she is not joking.

In just half a month, Qiao Anning has been forced to drive ducks to the shelves to participate in three blind date banquets entrusted by his mother and introduced and arranged by the seven aunts and eight aunts in the family.

Because she was afraid that Qiao Anning would retreat, Qiao's mother escorted her to the three blind date banquets in the name of escorting.

The working environment of the first blind date is similar to hers, and she also works in the relevant government departments, but she is not in the system.

During the meal, the other party seemed to feel that he had found someone who could pour bitter water, and kept complaining to Qiao Anning about how different their unit treated regular workers and contract workers, and the whole blind date became the other party's complaining meeting.

Qiao Anning listened passively for half an hour in embarrassment, watching her mother's face become ugly little by little, and finally she was almost pulled by her mother and stuffed into the taxi.

The second blind date's profession is a high school math teacher, and the conversation etiquette is actually very good, that is, the person is good-looking...... It's a little bit worse.

Qiao Anning's net height is 163, and the other party is wearing a pair of black leather shoes, and he looks only a little taller than her. The most important thing is not height, when he lowered his head and bent down to pick up the chopsticks that had fallen on the ground, Qiao's mother saw that he was already faintly about to change the top of his hair, so he completely forgot about the expression management, and his eyes widened.

Naturally, I didn't like it.

The third blind date was a programmer working for a foreign company in Shanghai, and he was deceived by his family to come back and deliberately arrange to participate in this blind date banquet.

When I met Qiao Anning, the other party directly expressed his thoughts: "I shouldn't go home for at least three or five years, after all, my career in Shanghai has just stabilized, I don't know if you mind a long-distance relationship or are you willing to move to Shanghai to find another job?"

Before Qiao Anning could answer this question, Qiao's mother refused for her first: "She has just come back from Shanghai, and her job at home is very stable, so she won't go out again." ”

The other party glanced at Qiao Anning, with a little regret in his eyes, shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything more.

The three blind date banquets all ended in failure, Qiao Anning didn't feel anything, but Qiao's mother seemed to have been hit hard, and sighed at Qiao's father all day long: "I knew that I shouldn't have stopped her from falling in love at the beginning, there were so many people who wrote love letters to her at that time, if I hadn't stopped her, maybe we would have hugged our grandson by now." ”

Qiao Anning listened to a black line.

Qiao's father also felt that his wife was a little too enchanted: "What kind of stupid thing to say, do you still want to encourage your children to study hard to fall in love?"

Qiao's mother also knew that she was angry: "I just have a headache, why is it so difficult to find a suitable marriage partner when I come to her? ”

Qiao's father poured a glass of water for Qiao's mother and handed it over: "Alas, this kind of thing can only be done slowly, and you can't be in a hurry." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry! You father and daughter know that you are not in a hurry! If you are not in a hurry, she will be 30 years old! When the time comes, what will the neighbors and neighbors think of her? What will they think of us? People will only look down on her, saying that she is an old girl, and no one wants her at home! They say that our daughters can't get married, and no one wants them!! and you and I will have the face to go out and meet people when the time comes?!!

Hearing what her mother said angrily, Qiao Anning felt a little uncomfortable.

It turned out that she would be a disgrace to her family if she didn't get married.

She lay flat on the couch and opened her eyes to the ceiling above her.

It turns out that her marriage is not only her own personal matter, but also involves the honor and face of the whole family.

It was not easy for her parents to give birth to her, was it really wrong for her to persist for so long?

At this time tonight, Qiao Anning suddenly had doubts about his long-standing outlook on life.

Perhaps, she should compromise with fate.

......

The days passed like boiling water over a low fire, slowly bubbling and bubbling. I don't know how long it will take, but there is always a time when the water will be boiled.

In the evening of this day, Qiao Anning came home from work, Qiao's mother was in a good mood and was busy in the kitchen, when she heard the voice, she turned around, saw her coming back, and greeted her uncharacteristically happily and said, "Are you back? ”

During this period of time, because Qiao Anning's blind date was not smooth, Qiao's mother's mood continued to be depressed and depressed, and it was difficult to rise.

Qiao Anning sat down at the table, saw several home-cooked dishes on the table, and speculated in his heart about what made his mother feel better.

"What are you doing looking at me? Eat quickly! Don't you like braised fish the most? Taste if your mother is doing well. ”

Qiao's mother gave her a braised fish with chopsticks, and Qiao Anning ate it with a lot of heart.
