Chapter 7 (I)

Listening to the sound of the indoor fountain and the sound of the water, Chen Yi, who was sitting in the high-end Japanese food store, looked at her mother Zhou Biyun with an impatient face opposite, and only felt as if she was sitting in a rain of bullets, and the bullets passed past her ears like a rain, and she didn't dare to move, but she was afraid that if she didn't make the right move, she would be shot and killed.

Zhou Biyun took a sip of the matcha given by the store, frowned, and complained with a sharp voice, "What is this, it's not as delicious as the chrysanthemum tea I bought in the supermarket, and the powder is not enough." She put down the cup, glanced at the phone time again, and asked Chen Yi, "Why hasn't Bai Qi come yet?"

"If I urge again, it must be that the work has been delayed. Chen Yi picked up his mobile phone and opened WeChat.

"No matter how busy a person is, he can distinguish between the important and the important. Zhou Biyun snorted dissatisfiedly, "I think he just doesn't respect our mother and daughter." ”

Last night, Zhou Biyun was very surprised when she saw Bai Qi, she had a stomach of questions that needed to be answered, the first of which was: What is the relationship between you and Chen Yi? You are still here so late, aren't you her boyfriend? Then when are you going to get married? Without waiting for her to ask where the banquet was set and the wedding room was in several rings, Bai Qi found an excuse to escape, but hurriedly agreed to invite her aunt to dinner the next day.

Zhou Biyun wanted to grab Chen Yi and ask, but she took the lead, and asked first, "Mom, why did you suddenly come here without saying hello? Where's Dad? Are you not in your class? Are you going to stay for a few days? What are you doing here?"

Zhou Biyun is very idle on weekdays, doing entry work in the office of the provident fund management office, but the salary is not high, and the family's economic resources mainly rely on Chen Yi's father Chen Kuo, who is the contractor of his own decoration team, and it is not a problem to earn tens of thousands of dollars a month in the peak season.

"I'll say hello to you, then will you still let me come? Don't make a bunch of excuses to tell me not to come, besides, I come to my daughter's house, I can come when I want, I can leave when I want, I used my annual leave, why did I come? Look at my big baby, is this reason okay?" Zhou Biyun pushed the suitcase to Chen Yi's feet, walked around the house, and looked around with disgust, "It's so small, the rent is still 5,000, I really sleep on gold every day, and I feel like I've lost my money if I don't stand in this house." ”

Chen Yi moved the suitcase to the corner and asked, "Then Dad always knows that you came to me, right? ”

Zhou Biyun opened the refrigerator to check the ingredients inside, and said casually, "I quarreled with Old Man Chen, if you don't make a fuss, you will become a child of a single-parent family, and it will be even more difficult to get married, so you act quickly, don't delay me to find a second spring." ”

After urging Bai Qi, Chen Yi put down his mobile phone and continued the topic of last night with Zhou Biyun, "Why did you quarrel with your father this time?"

In my childhood memory, my father and mother quarreled all day and night, but Chen Yi didn't feel that the family atmosphere was oppressive and gloomy, but felt warm and bright, because her parents were not "boring", both of them were extroverted personalities who had something to talk about and fart, and they fought at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed.

This time, it was so noisy that Zhou Biyun was going to run away from home, Chen Yi was curious, how big could it be? Could it be that the five million lottery jackpot was unevenly distributed-

Zhou Biyun said, "It's not for you not to get married." ”

——This answer is really frustrating enough for Chen Yi, her original expression of watching the lively audience has reluctantly transformed into the embarrassing smile of a seven-year-old child who was forced by his parents to dance a dance for relatives and elders during the Spring Festival.

Zhou Biyun wants to find a teacher job in Chen's hometown for Chen Yilian, and then it is more convenient to arrange a blind date, because in their small city, the matchmaker will choose a girl who has a stable job in the local area, which is more peaceful, suitable for husband and children, and usually can indeed give a good family background to the appropriate age object.

But Chen Kuo felt that Zhou Biyun was working blindly, he thought that "children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren", the twisted melon is not sweet, and there is no need to worry about her future for her daughter, so the two had a disagreement and quarreled.

After listening to Zhou Biyun's description, Chen Yi couldn't help but thank her father in her heart, she shook her head and said, "Our family has always been a minority obeying the majority, two to one, you don't care about me." ”

Zhou Biyun was angry, grabbed the chopsticks and knocked them on the table, "Your father doesn't care about you, I don't care about you anymore, who else cares about you in this world?" Seeing Chen Yi's smile on her face, she screamed even more angrily, "You are still laughing, the young ones are not sensible, and the old ones don't understand, I am the only one in this family, and I am thankless, and I am disgusted by your grandfather." ”

She is right, Chen Kuo is a careful and rough person, he does a good carpentry, but he doesn't know anything about how to take care of children, from childhood to adulthood, Zhang Luo Chen Yi food, clothing, housing and transportation are Zhou Biyun, she didn't let her suffer from the cold, starvation, a dress is always beautiful and tidy, during the New Year's holidays, there are conditions to take children to travel to see the world and try to walk around, not to mention never absent from the parent-teacher meeting, as a mother, she can't get a hundred points, and she can get at least eighty or ninety points.

It is precisely because her mother has never owed Chen Yi, and she is even a little too doting-she gave up the college entrance examination and went to Beijing to pursue her unrealistic dream of being an actress-so Chen Yi is now mixed up like this, and she has no confidence to speak too loudly in front of Zhou Biyun.

"Beijing is not good, you look at your quality of life, you are still renting a house in your thirties, what is the matter with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan, it is not a tight life, go home with me, live at home and don't want your money, I and your father are in charge of eating and drinking, you are the class with a monthly salary of 2,000, and the money is also really in your pocket, not to mention that now it is very popular to be a teacher, you get a training class, especially to teach English, it must be no problem to earn 5,8000 a month, the same is 10,000 yuan, you go home to live, the level of enjoyment has to triple。 Zhou Biyun spoke loudly, more turbulent than the fountain in the store, as if he didn't need to ventilate, the words rushed to the words, the words were stacked on top of each other, and they poured out, "Just Lin Xiaomin, who used to study with you, knows, right? ”

Chen Yi lowered his head, meaninglessly picked the teacup in front of him with his fingers, and muttered, "That's different, there are still many opportunities in Beijing." ”

"Of course, there are many opportunities, but none of them are for you. Zhou Biyun sighed, every wrinkle on her face was stretched out because of disappointment and regret, "Yiyi, you should also grow up, the years are not up to others, you are no longer a child, what should be given to you in this life has been given early, and you will not procrastinate until today, where do you say that your conditions have been lost to others? You are beautiful, hard-working, and smart, but the opportunity is not given to you, there is no way, accept your fate." ”

"There is no need to go home to be a teacher, to be a teacher in Beijing, you still have to ...... more" - "opportunity" - these two words, she didn't want to mention it again, as if slapping herself, she changed her tone and continued, "The salary is always more." ”

"Do you think I'm counting on you to make money? I just want you to be closer to us, so that we can take care of you, we silly girls, you should always know. Zhou Biyun stretched out her hand to grab Chen Yi's hand, rubbed the skin on the back of her daughter's hand lovingly with her thumb, and sighed, "When you were still young, you said that you wanted to be an actor, but I didn't stop you, I never expected you to really become a big star, you have a big future, I have only one expectation for you, I hope you will always be happy and safe, I didn't care about you at that time, because you were young, now that you are older, you are still like a child, I have to remind you, it's time to pay attention, I see that you are not happy at all now." ”

was exposed by her own mother to be unhappy, Chen Yi's back was a little looser, and the whole person was about to become a deflated ball.

"As long as you come back, I have been discussing with your father, giving you a down payment, buying a two-bedroom and two-living room house next to our house, and when you get married and have children, we will bring you during the day, and we will not delay your rest at night, usually you don't want to cook, I will do it for you, send you upstairs, comfortable, and car, if your husband wants it, we will buy it for you." Zhou Biyun looked at Chen Yi who was wearing a long skirt and a blazer in front of her, but her eyes reflected her childhood appearance, and she said very movingly, "From childhood to adulthood, I have never inferior you to other children's things, and now too, I must give you all the match, who told us to have a daughter for you." ”

Although Chen Yi was also shaken by her mother's concern in her heart, she still knew where her bottom line was—at least not going back to her hometown—she had an apologetic smile on her face, but her tone was very firm and said, "Mom, I will have a house and a car in the future, I am about to appreciate and raise my salary, you and your father only need to take care of your own retirement life, you should spend money and money, don't worry about me, anyway, I won't sleep on the street, don't worry." ”

"How far is this future? How much money do you have to earn to buy a house in Beijing, where every inch of land is expensive? It's like a fantasy, ten years, twenty years? What is the point of living in your own house when you are fifty or sixty years old? Why bother, I can't see what's good in Beijing, what is the difference between food and drink and our family? Isn't it just that the road is wider? There is still a traffic jam. As she spoke, she thought of Bai Qi and thought of her daughter's hope of starting a family, and a smile finally appeared on her face, "Why have you gotten along with Bai Qi? How long have you been? It's still an old family member in a circle, it's also good, you know the roots, you have played since you were a child, and your feelings are deeper than ordinary people, so you don't have to worry about me having to cultivate feelings with people you know on a blind date, and if you don't tell me, are you afraid that I will urge you to get married?"

"It's not that I'm afraid you're urging you to get married, Auntie. Bai Qi finally came, he sat down next to Chen Yi, and said frankly, "We don't plan to get married." ”
