Chapter 30 Affection
1
Zhao Qingfang understands Meng Lianghua's temperament, and always likes to hold things in his heart and is reluctant to say it, but the more he holds it in his heart, the worse it is, so he threw down the flowers in his hand and tried to change a way and said slowly: "I used to hear people say that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the most difficult, I have always disbelieved it, I think both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law should have a correct concept at the beginning, and it should be possible to get along harmoniously with each other in a fair way, right?" You think that your parents will definitely have to live with us in the future, and your mother is really dissatisfied with me now, you can say it, if we have an estrangement from the beginning, it will definitely not be able to handle the relationship. ”
Regarding Zhao Qingfang's step-by-step inducement, Meng Lianghua did not speak, he still held it all the time.
"People say that marriage is the union of two families, not just the union of two people, so if we are going to get married in the future, if we want to live happily together, we must not skip your parents, if that is the case, I will definitely not be able to be with you with peace of mind. Zhao Qingfang continued her preaching.
After speaking, she observed Meng Lianghua again, and now he seemed to be a little relaxed, as if he had something to say, but he held back again.
Zhao Qingfang shook Meng Lianghua's hand and said coquettishly, "Actually, I can understand what they say, after all, there is indeed a gap between my conditions and yours." You tell me, it's okay. ”
"You're excellent, really. Meng Lianghua gently waved Zhao Qingfang's bangs fluttering in the wind, and said sincerely, "Don't doubt yourself in the future, and don't be arrogant because of their denial, you know?"
Zhao Qingfang was very happy to look at Meng Lianghua's appearance of protecting herself, but listening to the meaning of his words, she also understood that Meng Lianghua was unhappy just now because his family had thoughts about him, otherwise how could there be that sentence "What about their negation?"
Zhao Qingfang was very disappointed, but she was not angry, and it was expected, but she was curious about what she was dissatisfied with, and she really wanted to try her best to make up for her shortcomings, so she tried to guess from her own point of view: "Does your family think that I am not a regular state unit like you?"
"They always think that schools, hospitals and the government are good jobs, and the idea of a stable iron rice bowl should be outdated, what is the era now, the so-called national formal units in the past only have an advantage over other units to retire, and now enterprises also pay insurance, enterprises retire the same retirement salary, the former so-called formal units these advantages are gone, what is there to go! And now look at the enterprise is relatively free, there are more opportunities to choose, anyway, the enterprise still has an advantage. Meng Lianghua said insightfully, "And what's so good about nurses and teachers, I don't like the profession of teachers since I was a child, female teachers always feel that they have always given me the feeling that they are very strong, and nurses are even more bad, the nature of work is the same as ours, we have to work night shifts, how to take care of my family when I get married in the future!"
"Your parents want you to find teachers and nurses, right?" Zhao Qingfang looked at Meng Lianghua suspiciously.
"Yes. ”
"Didn't know my occupation before?"
"Well, I didn't go into any other details. ”
"Oh, then do you really think that teachers and nurses are bad?" Zhao Qingfang repeatedly confirmed Meng Lianghua's true thoughts, after all, what his parents thought was similar to what she thought before.
"Of course, I've always thought so. ”
"Hehe... That's good. Zhao Qingfang was relieved, and then said, "Then did you tell them what you thought?"
"Having said it, it's just... Meng Lianghua wanted to speak and stopped.
"Just what?" Zhao Qingfang asked, "Still can't you understand, or is there another reason?"
In the face of Zhao Qingfang's inquiry, Meng Lianghua did not answer positively, she understood that it must not be just this reason, and thinking about what illness she vaguely heard, Zhao Qingfang asked: "Does your family think that my mother has dragged you down?"
Zhao Qingfang can always clearly recognize her own shortcomings, and can accurately grasp the strange eyes of others, from Aunt Meng's eyes to see the changes in her eyes, she understands that it must not be so simple, for her repeated accurate guesses, Meng Lianghua was surprised and ashamed. But I didn't know how to explain to my family, and I didn't know how to comfort Zhao Qingfang.
just blindly emphasized: "Anyway, we are together, don't worry about other things." ”
For the problems of her previous work, she can still work hard to do a good job, if Meng Lianghua really hopes that she can go to work in the so-called regular state unit, she can even work hard to take the national civil service exam. But for my mother, this must not be given up, but it is really a drag in the eyes of outsiders, even my relatives at home think so. Zhao Qingfang has no quibbles about this.
She said slowly: "My mother has been with me since my father passed away, and now that I am sick, I will definitely not be able to leave her alone." I am her only support, and she is also my dearest person, I hope you can understand me. ”
"Yes, I understand. Meng Lianghua said in a dilemma, "Don't say it, I understand, and I am willing to take care of my aunt with you, those are their thoughts, of course, they are also for my good, so I hope you don't get angry with them." ”
"Of course I'm not going to be mad at them. Zhao Qingfang said with a pleasant face, "I know that parents are for the good of their children, and of course your parents also hope that you will find a daughter-in-law who has no burden and a stable job, and I understand it." ”
Seeing that Zhao Qingfang was so understanding, Meng Lianghua didn't know how to express himself, so he just grabbed her and hugged her into his arms, and said gently: "It's good that you can understand, I made you feel wronged today." ”
"It's okay," Zhao Qingfang leaned on Meng Lianghua's shoulder and whispered.

The parents of the Meng family have no opinion on Zhao Qingfang himself, after all, from the perspective of appearance, Zhao Qingfang is definitely superior, and he is also well-behaved when he looks at people, but Meng Lianghua has always been the expectation of the second elder of the Meng family, and has always looked forward to the future daughter-in-law is a doctor or nurse in the hospital, and a teacher can also be, anyway, the job is stable, the family conditions are slightly better, and it is best to be someone who can give Meng Lianghua some help in his career.
And now this future daughter-in-law is not working in a formal unit, and she grew up in a single-parent family, she is always worried that her temper and personality will be eccentric and extreme, and there is a mother at home who needs to spend money on chemotherapy all year round, for people like them who already have family burdens, they are even more reluctant to find a daughter-in-law or someone with such a heavy burden, Zhao Qingfang's soft conditions here are obviously no matter where she does not meet the standards of the Meng family to choose a daughter-in-law, the second elder of the Meng family is not so powerful, but the son's marriage is a lifelong thing, in this matter they are more energetic than Meng Lianghua, and now Zhao Qingfang They will not agree to live or die。
He already knew the determination of his parents in the failed negotiation at noon, and they were still in their hometown, and his parents did not give Zhao Qingfang too good a face, such a situation Meng Lianghua was also very difficult to be caught in the middle, and the most important thing at the moment was that he needed to find a way to make both parties not so embarrassed as soon as possible.
So Meng Lianghua suggested: "Otherwise, let's go back to the county later, it's not very convenient to live in the countryside, let's stay here for one night, and by the way, take you to our county seat, and then take the next day's train back." ”
"Well, okay!" Zhao Qingfang understood that he was not treated here, and staying for a moment longer would be torture, so he gladly accepted it, "You can do whatever you say, I will listen to you." ”
Since they reached a consensus, the two went home immediately, Meng Lianghua simply packed up the change of clothes he brought, and said goodbye to the Meng family's parents and Aunt Meng, who had not yet left. Everyone understood it, and they said goodbye politely.
The original plan to come back for 2 days ended early amid the various dissatisfaction of the Meng family, and the two rushed back to Linzhou the next day.

Mother Zhao was very surprised to see that the two of them came back so early: "Didn't you come back tomorrow?
"There's nothing fun in the countryside, and it's even less fun when it's raining, so I came back. Zhao Qingfang pretended that nothing had happened, and shifted all the blame to the rural environment.
"Why are you so ignorant?" Zhao's mother blamed her daughter in a low voice, "What's wrong with the countryside? No matter how difficult it is, you have to stay for two days! ”
Meng Lianghua was already very guilty about what happened yesterday, and when he saw that Zhao's mother was still blaming Zhao Qingfang for not knowing etiquette, he felt even more sorry for Zhao Qingfang. But you can't tell Zhao's mother what happened yesterday, otherwise it will only add more trouble.
"Auntie, don't blame her, in fact, I'm coming back, it's really not fun at home, I'm afraid of suffocating her, and my parents don't speak much Mandarin, I'm afraid she's bored, so I'm back today." Meng Lianghua tried his best to relieve Zhao Qingfang.
"Oh. Zhao's mother has always believed in Meng Lianghua's words, "Your parents are not angry, are they?"
Meng Lianghua was nervously stunned, then looked at Zhao Qingfang, who was also surprised, and replied in surprise, "Huh?"
"It's that you came back early, they didn't blame Xiaofang for being ignorant, right?"
Meng Lianghua realized that Mother Zhao was still coming back early due to the bad environment, and said with a sigh of relief: "No, how could it be!"
"Oh, that's good. Zhao's mother didn't forget to remind Meng Lianghua to lie, "You'd better call your parents again, just say that the company is in a bit of a hurry and needs to be dealt with, so I came back early, so your parents will feel better." ”
"Eun. Good. Meng Lianghua nodded.
"That Xiaofang, you hurry up and order some noodles for Lianghua to eat, it's noon, and you haven't eaten. Zhao's mother said.
The two of them were relieved to see that Zhao's mother didn't mention the family affairs again, so the two squeezed into the kitchen to cook noodles together.
In the days that followed, the two were not influenced by the second elder of the Meng family but continued their lives.
