"Liu Pengju, when will you marry me?"

"What's wrong, dear, what did I do wrong? I'm you off again.

You said, I'll change it immediately, my salary card, bank card are all in your place, and I haven't talked to other female teachers much recently, and I haven't secretly drunk. ”

Finally, on the weekend, I finally slept until noon, chopping vegetables and preparing to cook. Lan, who was playing with her mobile phone on the sofa, suddenly asked coldly, which scared me into a cold sweat, and immediately reflected on myself, thinking about whether I had done anything wrong recently, and guessing whether she knew about secretly going out with friends a few nights ago or private money. This sentence made the originally relaxed and pleasant atmosphere instantly silent, and even my hand that was cutting carrots with a knife kept shaking.

"Don't be too nervous, be careful with your hands, I'm scared when I hear this sound. It's nothing, why are you like this, every time you ask me this sentence, do you make you so embarrassed and so scared?"

"I'm sorry, baby, I know how good you are, how much you love me, I'm so glad to have you in this life, I don't know how lucky I am to be able to meet such an angel as you. ”

"It's really not easy to get a usually taciturn person to say so many words that praise me, but this baby likes people to praise me like this. Otherwise, how could I be deceived by you, I'm really afraid that other girls will also be deceived by you like this. ”

"I don't dare to look at them more, how can I talk to them again, I will always talk to you alone or our children in the future. ”

Speaking of children, I can't help but be silent again, I am now 25 years old, and last year the two of me graduated from the Provincial Normal University together and returned to our hometown, back to this small county town.

I was a history teacher in the county junior high school, and she was a Chinese teacher in an elementary school, and we rented a house by the river in the small county town and lived together.

Although I am not so tired from work, I usually eat at school, except on weekends, I rarely come back to cook and eat by myself. Just like most young people nowadays, I am too lazy to cook, and there is a subsidy for eating in the school cafeteria, so it is troublesome to cook at home, and I am reluctant and afraid to let my baby cook, but every time I cook, although she never says how unpalatable it is, I also know my craft.

The pace of life in this small county is very slow, our usual teaching tasks are not particularly heavy, there are many holidays, and the daily life is so leisurely, if there is leisure, we can lean on the sofa on the balcony in the evening and look at the door. The turquoise water of the lake, in the afterglow of the setting sun, sparkles in the breeze. And the occasional pedestrian walk on the suspension bridge, and the colorful neon lights.

On the other side of the river is a series of small hills, buckled hills, which have been made into a park for everyone's leisure and recreation, and the mountains behind them are planted with bayberry, plum and peach trees. The tall wooden tower on the top of the mountain is also shining golden in the afterglow of the setting sun, and with the bright red sunset on the top, it forms a beautiful picture. This combination of city and countryside is estimated to be only seen in our small county.

Whenever I see such a scene, looking at the person lying next to me, I will feel that life is so beautiful, at that moment it seems that time is still, it will make me forget things, all the troubles, only to feel this warmth, all kinds of beauty, everything seems to belong to a fairy tale, people can't believe it.

We spent every day frolicking and never fighting, and looking at her wicked smile, I thought we would be married soon, soon, dear.

Thinking about the fact that I have known each other for 11 years now, we have walked together through junior high school, high school, college, until now. It's been eleven years, I think I've been to her house a hundred times, each time I send her home first, I go back again, first as a classmate, and then slowly, slowly, the relationship is getting closer and closer, and finally, now I consider myself as a son-in-law.

I don't usually drink much, and she doesn't let me drink, but there are three situations where she never says anything, one is at work, or when she has a party with my brothers, and every time I go to my father-in-law's house to drink with my father-in-law.

I had a good relationship with my father-in-law, and when I was in high school, I just played chess with him, talked about history, and always thought about how to make a better impression on him. After they were together, they started drinking every time they went, this is our custom here, if you want to take your daughter away, you have to drink the old man down, my amount of alcohol is practiced from here, although until now I have never let the elder lie down first, no matter what, it must be me to get drunk first.

Every time I drink I will have a headache, not only because I drink too much, every time after drinking, he and my mother-in-law will ask me when I will marry their daughter, future plans or something, I want to see what my "truth" is, I used to say that after graduation and other jobs, now I have been working for a year, and I am about to have a winter vacation, and when it comes to headaches, I really don't know what to say this year.

Early marriage and early childbearing are common on our side, especially in our parents' era, when we basically got married as soon as we reached adulthood. In their minds, when they are 20 years old, they should get married, and if they are 22 years old, they will marry later, and now we are 25 years old. Not only my mother-in-law, but also my parents, grandparents and grandmothers kept urging this matter. They are also very fond of Lan, have recognized this son (grandchild) daughter-in-law, every time they go home they keep nagging with me, they are more urgent about this problem than their father-in-law, I am the eldest son in the family, my cousin just got married this year, they can't wait to hope that I will get married soon.

She told me about it again, and I think it must have been his parents or my parents who called again last night to talk about it. She also doesn't want to get married too early, they are all young people in the 21st century, and they don't like early marriage and early childbearing, of course, I don't dare to say in front of him that she doesn't want to get married yet.

It's not that I don't want to get married, it's just that I don't think I've got a lot of things ready for, I've just been working for a year, and my job isn't too stable and I don't have much savings. Although the housing prices in this small county town are not as scary as those in the big cities, they are not low. The home is far away from the county seat, and it is not a matter to always ride a battery car, and the car still has to be bought. I always feel a headache when I think about buying a car and a house, the money for my children's diapers in the future, and then my salary.

And we face so many children every day who are smart and cute, but also often naughty and mischievous, and even make me a little afraid, if I have a child in the future, I am worried that I will not be able to teach well, there are too many things that can not be given to him, I am worried that he will not have much time to accompany him in this childhood, I am afraid that he will not be happy in childhood, I am afraid that he will grow up disobedient, so I always want to wait a few more years, wait for a little more stability, and wait for me to be more mature, and then I can take a good child.

Although parents always say that they can take out their savings and make a down payment first, we can save a few more years and buy a car with a down payment, and they can also help bring it to their children. My current life and love are indeed very beautiful, but the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea of life will always give me a headache.

"I haven't given you anything for so many years, even getting married always said to wait, wait, push and push, today I don't want to push again, call my parents to have a meal together during the New Year, and then I will propose to you, next summer, or get married on National Day. ”

We have known each other for 11 years, and we have been together for seven years, so many years are considered to be the bottom of each other, although we have never been married, but now no one can do without anyone, I believe that we can snuggle up to each other until the end of life, so for so many years, it is not bad to wait for so a year or two.

In my opinion, the wedding is just a formality, if you can, you can get a certificate at any time, it doesn't matter if there is a wedding or not, of course, others don't see it that way. I wouldn't say that to Lan either. Marriage is so important to a woman, and I don't live alone, he has paid so much for me, accompanied me for so many years, think about it for so many years, I have never given her anything. Over the years, my personality and habits have changed because of her, and she has changed a lot because of me.

In fact, now that I have the whole world, why bother thinking about it so much?

After thinking about it for so long, after cutting the carrots, washing my hands, and walking to the sofa, I still made up my mind to give an answer, I can't wait any longer, I can't wait for a day.

I looked at her excitedly, wanting to hear what she had to say, in fact, it was not up to me to decide whether to get married or not, it was up to her to have the final say, and he was the boss at home. I saw her pause abruptly, her expression constantly changing. Then a pillow was thrown over, and I immediately caught it with both hands.

"You say it's the end!, do you think it's buying cabbage, and the old lady is so worthless, it's like I can't get married.

How can it be so easy to marry me? I have a house, a car, I have to buy cosmetics every day, I have to cook for me every day, I have to spend a month on my honeymoon, and then I have to go to Hainan to see the sea, Argentina to see the snow, and I have to go to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to climb mountains. I see that you don't even have the money to take a taxi, and on such a cold day, you still let me ride a battery car, think about it, forget it. ”

"If we don't ride an electric car at work tomorrow, we'll take a taxi, and then take a taxi every day. I'm going to cook for you first, making your favorite scrambled eggs with tomatoes. ”

I didn't dare to talk about it anymore, so I quickly shifted my attention and went cooking, maybe her favorite food was not scrambled eggs with tomatoes before, I think it should be now, because my best thing is scrambled eggs with tomatoes, so my favorite food for cooking can only be scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

"A scrambled egg with tomatoes wants to send me away? This time I have to put more tomatoes, I like to eat sour, don't put too much salt in it, the vegetables are scrambled." Otherwise, you want to marry me, wait for the next life!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Well, let's go down and get busy, Xiaopengzi, the mourning family wants to eat on time at twelve o'clock. ”
