Chapter 372: Winner in Life
The first time Li Lanlan became suspicious of the twins' whereabouts was that they went to South Korea to play for many days, and they didn't even attend Baoqing's thank-you banquet.
Min Rou and Baoqing are not close, so it's okay if they don't participate, but Min Jia is different! Min Jia still loves this sensible cousin very much. As a stationery controller, Min Jia's favorite thing is to collect all kinds of good-looking stationery. Since Baoqing came to Hong Kong City to study, she often bought two copies, she kept one, gave Baoqing one, and possibly left another copy for Qiao Lin.
Besides, whether they are close or not, Li Lanlan still forces them to participate in such a large family celebration. However, she called Min Jia several times, and Min Jia was very embarrassed and said, "Mom, the itinerary has changed a little, and I really can't go back this weekend." ”
Min Jia likes TVXQ just as Jolene likes Kaka. Min Jia has to go to South Korea every few months, either to see a concert or to catch up on other trips. So, those fun and delicious things, she has long been able to touch them thoroughly.
In order to get closer to her idol, she also signed up for a Korean class, and after chasing it down in the past few years, she speaks Korean quite well. Song Yizhi occasionally comes to a Korean customer, and Min Jia can also receive it for his father. Anyway, it's very close from the port city, and the ticket is cheap. Every time she goes to chase stars, she can also bring some cosmetics and bags to the ladies around her, and easily solve the round-trip ticket.
Therefore, every time Min Jia goes to chase stars, Li Lanlan usually won't stop her. Min Jia is also measured, if she goes by herself, she will come back in two or three days, and only if she goes with others, will she stay longer.
This time, the twins have been wandering in Seoul for a week, and the only change in itinerary that Li Lanlan knows is that Wei Chenglin also went to play together. As the person most familiar with the travel route, Min Jia took the initiative to take on the role of a tour guide. The three of them had a lot of fun, but anyway, the twins' only cousin was admitted to college, so he should come back, right?
What puzzled Li Lanlan the most was Song Minrou, the world's first competitive female pianist, who was so anxious that she couldn't do it if she didn't practice for a day.
This is very unscientific.
On the third day of Baoqing's thank-you banquet, the twins were late. The sister-in-law originally informed the Qiao family that he was having a treat in the evening, and he would celebrate Baoqing alone. As a result, in the afternoon, my brother-in-law called again, saying that the party had been canceled, and I asked for your forgiveness.
Old Qiao hurriedly asked him what was going on, and the little brother-in-law sighed: "Lan Lan suddenly fainted. ”
Yes, the expression used by the sister-in-law is "sudden fainting".
Li Lanlan thought that the twins had not returned after a long absence, and refused to tell the truth, they were preparing a surprise for their parents. Unexpectedly, they came back with a bomb.
Min Jia went to South Korea to try on a wedding dress, and even the place to take wedding photos was set.
Min Rou didn't understand at first, saying that Min Jia had to wear Vera Wang to get married. Min Jia didn't want to be so extravagant, and she didn't want to follow the crowd, so she searched for a long time on the Internet before she found a fresh and graceful niche wedding dress shop, and during the summer vacation, she took her sister with her.
Min Jia said: "Their family's construction period is usually three months, and mine is scheduled for December. As soon as the wedding dress arrived, I got married. ”
Li Lanlan, who heard the news, immediately turned black with her eyes, fell on the sofa, and fell into a short coma.
She was fine, but in order to justifiably cancel the family gathering in the evening, Li Lanlan still went to the hospital decently, so that others would think that she was really sick.
Min Jia said that as long as she reaches the age of twenty, she will get married. It seems that she is not talking about fun, she is really ready to get married at the age of twenty.
Min Jia knew that her mother was pretending to be sick, so she told her the truth: "It's me who thinks so, it has nothing to do with my boyfriend!"
Li Lanlan was lying in the single room, not wanting to talk to this uncompetitive little daughter, and Min Jia didn't want to bother talking to her. After she walked out of the ward, only Min Rou was left to accompany her mother. Li Lanlan, who was still sluggish just now, suddenly cried and blamed Min Rou: "Min Jia is just fooling around, your mother trusts you so much, why do you betray your mother?
Li Lanlan really cried, Min Rou couldn't cry or laugh, and comforted: "Min Jia took me to a wedding dress design shop, I knew the purpose of this trip, and I will report to you when I come back!"
Li Lanlan was lying on her side, still sobbing, Min Rou smiled and said, "Mom, do we still point to Min Jia to get married?"
"Who said that? I never had that kind of mind with your dad!"
"Then is Min Jia just going to pick a great man to marry?"
“……”
"That Dr. Yan is young and promising, and has a good character, don't you and your father like it too?"
"Like is like ......"
"Anyway, I think it's good that Min Jia marries a good person and lives happily. ”
Li Lanlan closed her eyes and said in despair: "She is only twenty years old, and she doesn't even know what a man is, how can she know whether it is good or bad?"
Min Rou said dissatisfiedly: "Our criteria for judging good people are very simple, where is it so complicated as you think?"
……
Although she didn't speak, Li Lanlan also admitted that Min Rou had a point.
Min Rou asked again: "Mom, don't our family point to Min Jia marrying a powerful person, so do you still point to her to soar and earn a family business for our family?"
"What can your dad and I do, and expect you two to make money?"
"Then let Min Jia get married!"
“…… The three children of your aunt's family, even Qiao Lin, who is the most uncompetitive, are now out of luck; Baoqing of your uncle's family, the family is so difficult, and they still have such high scores; Sun Ruiyang downstairs, and Wei Chenglin...... There are so many children on this street, why can't it be our turn? What did I do wrong?"
Li Lanlan cried aggrievedly again, as if she really had no face to see people in the future. Min Rou was also tired of persuasion, and said: "When Min Jia had an accident, didn't you say that as long as she is healthy and happy in this life, you have nothing else to ask for." ”
"That's when ......"
"My aunt is not like you, people have never backtracked, and after Jolene had surgery on her knee, my aunt really never forced her again. At this point, is my aunt better than you?"
Li Lanlan admitted it in her heart, but when her daughter said this, she couldn't get over her face, so she said coldly: "You two sisters are in a gang, you go out, I don't want to tell you anymore." ”
Before Min Rou left, she left a sentence of "I thought you were cool, but you weren't cool at all", which made her mother half angry.
After celebrating Baoqing, the Li sisters insisted on letting their younger brother's family stay in Hong Kong City for a few days. They wanted to take him to the hospital for a follow-up and a comprehensive physical examination for his grandmother. My aunt remembered the family's business and hurried back, while my uncle and grandmother stayed in Hong Kong City and left in two days.
In fact, grandma couldn't live in the crops in the field, but as soon as Li Lanlan fell, she wanted to stay and take care of her. In Qiao Lin's eyes, although grandma often reprimands her aunt, and her aunt often talks back to her grandma, they still care about each other at critical moments.
In front of her mother, Li Lanlan did not need to hide the reason for her "sudden fainting". A competitive person like her, but with such a daughter who doesn't want to make progress and just wants to get married, she really can't hold her head up in front of outsiders.
Grandma was very puzzled: "How do you know that Min Jia is not going to work?"
“…… It is...... Her friends are all in school, so she wants to get married......"
"Then let me ask you, did Min Jia say that after she got married, she wouldn't go to school? Or did she concentrate on being a young grandmother when she got married and stopped working?"
"Well, not really. ”
"Aren't you two quite satisfied with that guy, then let her tie up!"
"But ......"
"But what is it, look at your eldest sister, she is fifty-one years old this year, has three children, and none of them are married. If Min Jia had gotten married early, maybe you would have been able to become a grandmother before you were fifty years old. When the time comes, you can show off in front of your eldest sister again. ”
Oh, why didn't you think of this stubble?
Li Lanlan no longer has a sad face. In the final analysis, she still hopes that her daughters will find a good home, and now that Min Jia has achieved this goal, why is she still unhappy?
Hugging your grandson early, is it another kind of life winner?
On the night she returned home from the hospital, the family of four held a family meeting. Li Lanlan pointed out at the meeting that as long as Min Jia promised not to drop out of school and promised to have her own job in the future, then she could get married early.
In this regard, Min Jia was very speechless: "I'm still young, I don't go to school, I don't work, do I squat at home every day?"
Song Yizhi also felt that his wife was a little worried, so he said: "Min Jia is the daughter of our old Song family, and she still has to be strong in her bones, right?"
Min Jia took a sip of water, noncommittal. She doesn't think she needs to be strong, her understanding of "self-motivated" is probably not to waste her time, just live a full and happy life every day.
The news that Min Jia was going to get married soon spread. Wei Chenglin patted his chest and said that he would definitely write a blessing song for Min Jia alone and sing it at her wedding.
Since going to college, Wei Chenglin has changed every time he comes back. When he was in high school, he had the most common kind of broken hair for boys, which was fresh and clean; the last time he went home, he made it a fashionable texture, quite like some idols; after coming back this time, his hair was much longer than last time, and there were still a few strands of long hair on the sideburns and the back of his head, and the highlights were dyed burgundy, and the artistic (zhuang) (bi) atmosphere was extremely strong.
When she saw him, Jolene thought that the time to kill Matt had returned.
He also brought back a new gadget, a dark, boxy phone with two cameras but no keyboard. He had no intention of showing off his new phone, but it would automatically catch people's eyes wherever he went.
Jolene asked him, and only then did he know that his very attractive mobile phone was called iphone4, and he had used it for half a year. Jolene also heard that this is a mobile phone with cross-era significance, and it was its emergence that led the later smartphone storm.
That day, Jolene went to their store to buy something, and Cheng Lin was fiddling with his phone. She wanted to come over to play for a while, and Cheng Lin smiled: "I'm waiting for this year's iphone4s, and when it comes out, I won't want this phone." ”
Cheng Lin's mother, who was sorting out the goods in the small warehouse, immediately became furious: "Is this mobile phone broken? You don't want it if you say you don't want it? If you make some money, you will be extravagant and wasteful, that's how I taught you?"
"Not ......"
"Isn't it, isn't it? You think you can do whatever you want if you have a little bit of talent?"
Chenglin's mother was about to teach him a lesson again, Jolene stuck out her tongue, took the nutrition fast line, and ran away.
Behind her, Cheng Lin's mother's voice rose higher and higher: "Didn't you say that you were going to see Dean Liu? Before you go to see your teacher, go to Uncle Dong's house and shave me these few handfuls of hair! I still don't believe it, if I have a little ability, I won't be able to control you!"
