Maybe it's just to warm up this increasingly rational and colder world!

It was another golden autumn, and in the spacious and bright living room, I chatted with my parents, blushing slightly and saying that I wanted to go to Yang Haotian's hometown to see his parents.

My name is Mo Bai, my mother is a middle school teacher, wearing a pair of myopic glasses, short hair, slightly white skin, about 1.65 meters tall, sitting on the sofa reading today's newspaper.

As soon as she heard that I was going to my mother-in-law's house, my mother Wang Shuxian glanced at her daughter with her eyelids and said nonchalantly: "Yes, go see his parents!" Buy some gifts, don't go empty-handed, the conditions in the countryside are not good. ”

His father, who was an executive in a large company, asked, "Xiaobai, it's a long way, how are you going to go?" Otherwise, I'll let the driver take you there, right? Take the high speed. ”

I immediately refused: "Dad, no need, that's too low-key, people don't know and think I'm a rich second generation!" ”

Hearing that I didn't want to let the driver of his company drive to deliver it, my father smiled and said, "This just shows that we attach great importance to our Xiaobai, and it can't explain anything else." ”

"Hehe, Dad, forget it!" I said no.

In the end, it was the middle school teacher's mother who decided the matter, "Let them go on their own!" are already adults, let them, the post-80s and 90s, suffer a little and do their own things! ”

When I heard my mother say this, I suddenly became proud and said heartily, "Okay, thank you Teacher Wang for your careful teachings." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, my mother added.

"I almost forgot, I have to call your aunt, and she also has a part in what your aunt said about you." With that, my mother picked up the phone.

As soon as I heard that I was going to let my aunt participate in my own affairs, I immediately pursed my mouth and said impatiently: "Mom, my aunt is still a single nobleman, and her own affairs have not been dealt with, do you confirm that she also has a part in my affairs?" ”

My aunt and I are only eight years old, like sisters, and I have repeatedly stated to my sister: Xiaobai is not allowed to hide everything from her, and she must make a phone call to tell her, and she will help us get ideas.

Since I had a child, this is the first time I have returned to my mother-in-law's house, which is considered a major event, and I have to report it.

"Mom, you don't have to call, save you some phone bills, I'll still use WeChat to micro my aunt!" I smiled and looked at my mom and said.

I opened WeChat and just said a general situation with my voice.

The other party replied in a soft voice, "You are going to the countryside so far away?" How much money do your eldest sister and brother-in-law give you? ”

Listening to my aunt's question, I turned my face to my parents.

"You're really wide enough! I didn't say anything about it, but you have a lot to do. When my mother heard this, she asked me to press the voice button and say something.

A high-pitched retort immediately came from WeChat: "Am I very lenient?" Mo Bai is my sweetheart, I don't care who cares about her? I said, eldest sister, you've been reading books for N years, where have you read? What do you know? You don't divide the grains, and you just break your fingers and reason with others, what else will you do? ”

I hurriedly covered my smiling mouth, and my mother over there was so angry that she was about to roll her eyes.

This is a pair of sisters whose age difference is like a mother and daughter, whether they see each other or not, they quarrel, and in the end, it is the sharp-toothed aunt who wins.

"Alright, don't lecture me! Let's get straight to the point! Mother said impatiently.

"Okay, I'll get straight to the point, is Haotian driving back?" Bei'er's crisp words came from WeChat.

I nodded as I listened and said, "Well, yes, Auntie." ”

"What gifts have you prepared?" It came again in WeChat.

I thought for a minute and said: "Haotian and I want to buy two boxes of Yunnan Pu'er tea, a box of bird's nest, and then buy a foot soak instrument for the elderly, the weather is getting cold, everyone in the family buys a set of thermal underwear, plus his sister, there are only three people, just buy three sets, and then buy some sea cucumbers or something, that's all, auntie, what do you think?" ”

WeChat replied: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, my little Momo, you buy so many things?" How much does that cost? ”

I hesitated, "It doesn't cost much, does it?" Besides, now the conditions are allowed, and it won't cost a few bucks. ”

I had a bitter face, couldn't help pouting, glanced at my parents, and came from WeChat: "You have recently changed to a big house, and you have to raise children, and prices are constantly rising...... Still ready to buy something that expensive? Really, no matter how rich you are, you can't spend it indiscriminately, can you? ”

"Isn't it that I don't go back often, and I don't spend money indiscriminately, but I just go back to see his parents, and it's only natural to buy something." I took my mother's arm and said into my phone.

WeChat came again: "It's not my aunt, I said you, you went to your mother-in-law's house to buy so many valuable things, this grade can be set, can it be lowered in the future?" It's like you're stammering them. This is a big no-no! What do you mean by taking it for granted? ”

"Also, don't buy clothes for their family members easily, do you know what number they wear? If it's suitable, people won't say anything, and if it's not suitable, they'll say you won't buy anything. ”

"The main thing is not to raise the appetite of their family! A group of countrymen, what's so exquisite? Just buy something, listen to me, take the child back to see, the child is a baby, it's not better than buying anything? It's not empty-handed! You gave birth to a chubby granddaughter to their family! ”

"Of course, we can't just take the children back, buy something, buy tea, but we don't have to buy Pu'er, just buy two bags of ordinary tea, and buy a few catties of fruit, so that we don't go back empty-handed."

"By the way, if they have children, just buy two more bags of candy and coax the children not to cry."

"Little Momo, do you hear that? That's it! ”

I sent them one by one in WeChat, but I didn't have time to reply, so I sent another one, and I could only open them one by one and listen to them.

This only aunt of mine is really cool, a crunchy female man, simple and shy, I really can't resist it.

Don't say it's me, even my father and mother were stunned when they heard these words from WeChat, I really don't know what messy things this overseas aunt has learned outside all these years.

I looked at my parents speechlessly, just such a little thing, what about asking for food? This is back to Haotian's parents' house, that is, I went back to him once before I got married, and I never went back! Now that the children are in kindergarten, when I go back once, I only take such a few things, and I don't have as many snacks as I do when I go shopping on weekdays! How can I handle it! Sad, sad, so sad! Woo-woo-woo, what to do? Really listen to my aunt? Or do you make your own decisions?
