On the way home after eating with Lao Zhang, I received a call from my wife and sister.

"Big brother, aren't you at home?"

"Yes, on the way. How about you?"

"On which road? I'm at your door with my mother. ”

Ahh

My mother-in-law went to my house very rarely, even when my wife was alive, we mainly used to see her and my father-in-law, let alone after my wife passed away, after all, she was old and dozens of kilometers apart.

"We finished eating with the third sister and them in the neighborhood, and they went to play in another car, and my mother asked me to accompany her to come and see you. ”

I sat down on the sofa with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, made tea, and served fruit, and my sister-in-law explained why they had come to the door.

"Thank you, Mom, how are you doing?"

"Not good!" the mother-in-law looked angry, while the wife and sister looked at the mother-in-law, did not speak, and had a faint smile on her face.

Sure enough!

Something.

Knowing that his mother-in-law is definitely not unwell, the form still has to go: "What's the matter, Mom, where are you uncomfortable?"

My mother-in-law didn't explain what was uncomfortable, and glared at me: "The little Qin I introduced to you last time, what is wrong with people, they are very satisfied with you, why don't you meet and talk to others? ”

It turned out to be for this!

After the last time I went to my mother-in-law's house with my daughter and was privately arranged by them on a blind date, I didn't take it to heart at all, and I promised to contact Xiao Qin at that time, but I actually didn't contact him once. My wife and sister called me halfway to urge me, and I said that I would contact when I was free, and this wait passed for more than a month, but I didn't expect my mother-in-law to sit still.

"Mom, I've been too busy lately, I'll get in touch when I'm free. "I don't dare to say that I don't want to contact, let alone that I don't plan to contact, so that my mother-in-law will educate and enlighten me for a long time.

"Don't be perfunctory to me! Your parents died early, and since I beat you and my daughter, your father and I treat you as a son. Although my daughter is gone, you are still my son, how can your father and I watch you live alone for the rest of your life like this? You hurry up and contact that Qin girl, just now! Call now to make an appointment! By the way, isn't tomorrow Sunday, just make an appointment tomorrow!"

My father-in-law and mother-in-law gave birth to three girls and no boys. Indeed, they treated me as their own son.

I can't help but give face to my mother-in-law's kindness, and I can only suffer if I disobey the order at this time.

walked to the window, flipped through the phone for a long time, and couldn't find Xiao Qin's phone number.

My wife and sister saw it, came to me, gave me a sneaky look, and gave me a string of numbers on the phone.

"Hello, Xiao Qin, I'm Zhao xx, xxx's brother-in-law. I've been wanting to call you since the last time we met, but I've been ignoring too many things. Are you free tomorrow?"

Since you want to act, try to act like this, and don't let your mother-in-law worry about it.

After reporting my name, there was no response on the other end of the phone, and it wasn't until I finished saying that I said "oh oh" twice, followed by two consecutive "Available!

When I called Xiao Qin, I deliberately raised my voice very high, and I also deliberately repeated Xiao Qin's words, so that my mother-in-law and sister-in-law could naturally hear it clearly.

"That's pretty much it. The mother-in-law first showed a satisfied smile: "You talk to people well, don't worry about this and that, you should invite people to dinner, and you will agree to accompany her wherever they want to play." ”

"Oh, mom, you're all old and you're teaching my eldest brother how to fall in love?"

"Smack!" the mother-in-law slapped her hand on his wife's sister's thigh: "Go aside!" Your eldest brother looks forward and backward, I'm afraid that he won't have the patience and make Xiao Qin unhappy." ”

"Don't worry about it, Mom, my eldest brother can't coax women, my sister can be so good to him when she is alive!"

"That's your sister, of course your eldest brother is patient, can the situation be the same now?"

The mother and daughter were talking there, and I could hardly escape while listening.

After being quiet for a few seconds, my mother-in-law's face suddenly darkened, and she lamented: "My daughter's death is not a day, two days, a year or two years, it's been 10 years, you should have your own life." ”

"Okay, Mom, don't worry, the eldest brother has made an appointment with Xiao Qin, let's leave if it's okay!"

"Don't be in a hurry to leave, can you leave after dinner?"

It's still early for dinner, so I'm just making a show of it, and my mother-in-law and wife-in-law won't be waiting there.

After they left, I sat there and worried.

If that's the case, my mother-in-law must suspect that I am doing it on purpose, and in her opinion, I have no reason not to dislike Xiao Qin, an unmarried girl, who is still very good in all aspects, although she is older, she is more than a circle younger than me, and I am half a person who has fallen into the ground.

Before I went to see Xiao Qin, I didn't deliberately clean myself up, basically just like usual, but fortunately, I was usually tangible and not so sloppy.

I really didn't pay much attention to it at my mother-in-law's house that day, and after seeing it at the agreed place, I couldn't help but take a second look. Xiao Qin is indeed a very iconic woman, without the youthfulness of a girl who has just left school, she reveals a dignified and gentle charm, she is very good at listening and not stealing the conversation, when it is her turn to speak, she walks like a stream trickling, and occasionally there is a jingle like a rushing water.

To tell the truth, chatting with Xiao Qin is still more pleasant, and it is not the same style as Guimei. But I'm not really here to talk about love, so it's not good to mislead people.

"Xiao Qin, you see that I am so much older than you, isn't it inappropriate?"

Xiao Qin's face quickly flashed a red cloud, and after two seconds of silence, he raised his head: "I'm afraid this is not the real reason, right?"

People are so serious, I can't tell me how much I lie, and I flatly refuse and am afraid that my mother-in-law will not let it go.

"I don't know what to tell you. Actually, I wasn't fully prepared in my heart, and I think it would be unfair to you to continue to associate with you like this. ”

Xiao Qin responded very happily: "Your sister-in-law has told me about your situation." You can't let go of your wife in your heart, I can understand it, and I won't care. ”

It's over, there's no way back!

"You see that you are not young, my state of mind may have become a kind of pathology, towards paranoia, I don't know when I can figure it out, I'm afraid of delaying you. ”

"If you want to talk about delay, my best 10 years have been delayed, and if you wait another 10 or 20 years, as long as it's worth it, then what's it?"

More stubborn than me!

"I don't think it's good for you, and your family won't agree to it. ”

Xiao Qin smiled self-deprecatingly: "If my family's opinions could sway me, I wouldn't be where I am now, and I wouldn't be here to discuss this issue with you." ”

"This ...... You see......"

"You don't have to say anything, I mean it very clearly, I don't care that you have your wife in your heart, and I don't think this will affect my relationship with you, as for whether you have any other thoughts or plans, only you know in your heart. ”

There was a stalemate, silence for each other. Finally, when we saw an ad for an actress I liked on the street ad screen, we switched to the story of her recent TV series and her personal life......

Until we said goodbye to Xiao Qin, none of us mentioned the blind date again, and we didn't say that we would continue to date or stop dating.

On the way home, I was thinking that this result would be good, and it would be easier for my mother-in-law and sister-in-law to ask.
