Chapter 12 Meet the Parents
I'm a stubborn person, once something is identified, it will stick to the end, my father naturally knows my temperament, and gradually my father's attitude is not so tough, people say that the daughter is the little lover of the father's previous life, thinking of this, I think maybe my father cares too much about my daughter, so he has to resolutely oppose it, so I forgive him in my heart. At the same time www.biquge.info Lin Feng and I still maintain normal contact.
"Manman, let me tell you the good news, I bought a house, I think I should give you a home, plan for our future. I calculated, my father is a carpenter, and he can earn 230,000 yuan a year by making some furniture or something, and if I have good sales performance here, I can earn 450,000 yuan a year, and you can earn 50,000 yuan a year, so that the income of our family is more than 100,000 yuan, and there is no pressure to repay the loan or anything. ”
"yes, that's a good idea."
He talked endlessly about the future life, and I seemed to see our future life together, which seemed to be not bad, but he forgot one thing, that is, I was in Shanghai, and he was in Nanjing, which meant that we were going to live separately, and I didn't want to ruin his happiness at this time. We talked late and hung up when we were too sleepy.
There was a lot of fog in front of me, I couldn't see the road ahead, I could only grope forward step by step, the woods, this was a forest, and I felt the rustle of the leaves under my feet. Where do you go from here? I walked aimlessly, brushing away the thick branches in front of me. A towering tree stood in front of my eyes, and I looked up. I was startled by this, and there was a big snake as thick as my waist coiling around the tree, and what was even stranger was that the snake had a human head, and it was circling around the tree, and on the top of the tree grew two large red fruits. "Ahh Ah bleeding, what to do, what to do ...
I woke up and found myself sweating all over my head, and I had a nightmare. This dream made me faintly uneasy, because I had this uncomfortable feeling before, even the night Wu Shuai left, I also had a nightmare, and I also dreamed of being bitten by a snake, I was very scared and uncomfortable in the dream, but I watched it happen like this. After that, something bad happened. Maybe it's just a coincidence, I console myself. This ominous premonition was quickly replaced by the hustle and bustle that followed.
Lin Feng and I received a marriage certificate on New Year's Day, but my father still ignored me, but he didn't mention the severance of the relationship again. In view of the unpopular situation this year, I decided to go to Lin Feng's hometown for the New Year, also to meet my parents. They have heard of my daughter-in-law for a long time, but they have never seen it, and they have received this certificate, so they can't say it if they don't see it. It's a foregone conclusion, but I still want to make a good impression on them. I bought cosmetics for his mother, because in my opinion, as long as a woman is a beauty, it has nothing to do with age. There's also a cardigan tonic or something for his dad. Lin Feng's home is in Yulin, northern Shaanxi. To be honest, it is indeed a little far away from us in Jiangsu, maybe this is one of the reasons why my father and mother disagree, but after all, Lin Feng bought a house in Nanjing, which is somewhat comforting to them.
Tickets to Yulin for the Chinese New Year are very difficult to buy, we grabbed tickets without blinking, but only grabbed two standing tickets, in the case of just buying a house and preparing to get married, we will not be willing to spend money to buy plane tickets. If you work outside the home, then you must know how spectacular the Chinese New Year travel is, and if you don't have this experience, then I recommend you to experience it. Lin Feng and I barely found an empty seat next to the toilet, and the suitcase became our stool. The two days and one night without rest made our faces look gray and radiant, and I couldn't care about any makeup anymore, and not only that, but I found that I was in a bad mood. If you see this situation, you will definitely say that I asked for it.
If the weather in the south is wet and cold, then the weather in February in the north is really cold. The snow on the ground seemed to have lasted for a long time, and the cold index increased, and after carrying large bags of things, I sat on three more jumps, walked about two miles, and finally arrived home. It was dark, and I couldn't see the whole picture of their house, but at least I knew that this kind of building that relied on the upright and uncollapsed characteristics of the loess was called a cave, and it was said that it was warm in winter and cool in summer, and I was full of curiosity.
"That's fullness."
A woman in her fifties with a severely nasal voice looked at me with a smile, her short hair tucked behind her ears and combed naked. She stretched out her somewhat stiff hand and took me by the way. I knew that this was Lin Feng's mother, and I smiled sweetly at her, "Hello, Auntie." ”
"This woman has such soft hands, come and sit in the house."
"What a woman, now she's my dog's aunt." Lin Feng's father reminded.
Only then did I notice that Lin Feng's father looked five or six years older than his mother, and his back was a little rickety, even if he was so tall, he didn't look short, if he straightened up, he would probably be taller than Lin Feng. It can be seen that Lin Feng's height is inherited from his father. He was wearing coarse cotton shoes and a black down jacket, which looked a little out of place. The wrinkles on my face are more noticeable when I laugh.
"Come on, come on, go to the kang."
After a while, Lin Feng's mother brought a big bowl of stewed haggis, a large plate of artichoke rubbing (this name was told to me by Lin Feng), potato vermicelli and pork sauerkraut. Sure enough, the northerners are more bold, with big bowls of meat and large dishes. After eating and drinking, I only feel comfortable and drowsy. To be honest, what I want most now is not to eat and sleep, but to take a bath. After two days of squeezing on the train, I sweated a few times, and I felt like I had a sour smell all over my body. But in this situation, I am afraid that it is impossible to take a shower.
After eating, we washed our faces and feet and went to sleep on the kang, one is because we are too tired, and the other is that there is nothing to do, there is no TV, and the Internet is even less, but fortunately, there is a warm kang and a hot quilt. I lay groggy and dreamed all the time.
"Full, full, up, up." I was pushed.
"What's the matter, getting up so early?" Turn over and continue sleeping.
"Woman, no, full, get up."
I was startled, and a spirit sat up, only to see Lin Feng's mother standing at the head of my bed looking at me. I thought something important had happened, so I quickly got dressed and washed up.
I was taken to the kitchen by Lin Feng's mother, and she began to introduce me to an ingredient that I had never seen before. "Manman, this is yellow rice noodles." I saw her pour a small amount of cold water into a pot of yellow rice noodles, and then quickly knead it into small uniform particles with her hands. After that, the granulated yellow rice flour is sprinkled in a steamer basket where the cloth is placed. Wait until the heat comes out and sprinkle another layer, and so on until all the noodles are steamed. Although I was curious, it was not yet dawn, and I was really in no mood to appreciate my mother-in-law's cooking, so I kept yawning. But after all, he is an elder, so he is really embarrassed to leave. When the noodles were steamed, she poured the steaming dough into a basin and began kneading.
"Come on, you try."
Although it was a little hot, I was still willing to do it in such a cold weather, I kneaded the dough like her, I don't know if it was too strong or the noodles were too sticky, I actually threw out the basin with noodles. I heard the clatter of the basin on the ground. Lin Feng's mother was shocked, and quickly picked up the basin, although the noodles were still sticking to the basin, but there was a layer of dust on it.
"Ah, what to do, it's dusty." I looked at her apologetically.
"Why are you so stupid, woman?"
"I didn't expect this noodle to be so difficult."
She quickly removed the obvious dirt and didn't let me try it this time. She divides the dough into circles, rolls it into a crust, fills it with bean paste on the inside, and kneads it round. Let me throw them in a pan of hot oil. As soon as I threw it in, the ball bubbled up and turned golden. I watched the golden yellow turn brown.
"Oh, let's get it up."
"Oh, where's the spoon?"
"Over there, over there..."
I hurriedly scooped up the dough, but it was still a little too hot. "Take these to the house."
House? What kind of room, I thought it must have been yesterday's place to eat, so I walked towards the room, and it began to get dark. When I entered the house, I saw Lin Feng and his father sitting on the kang chatting, I don't know what they were talking about, and their expressions were a little serious. "This is our freshly fried dumplings, let's give you a taste."
I put the dumplings on the kang table, and the two of them didn't seem to see me, and they didn't say anything. I felt bored and planned to go out, but when I walked to the door, Lin Feng stopped me.
"Full, pour us a glass of water."
I suspect I heard it wrong, two big men have hands and feet, let me pour water, what do you think? I didn't hear it, and I went out of the house. After a while, Lin Feng's mother asked me to bring a big bowl of pork stewed vermicelli, which seemed to be leftover from last night. I can have any porridge or noodles or something else, but I think about it too much and I don't have anything. Looking at the greasy, dusty fried cake (they call that fried dumpling fried cake), the big bowl of stewed meat, especially when each of them put the bitten fried cake in the soup and dipped it, I completely lost my appetite. I symbolically ate a few bites and put down my chopsticks.
"I'm full."
"Eat some more, it's still early for the next meal." Lin Feng kindly reminded me.
Eat? What should I eat? A big bowl of stew also makes you eat almost, I just want to eat it, not to mention I don't want to eat either, I'm a girl I'm embarrassed to say that I want to eat this and want to eat that, let people say that I'm hungry. Seeing a basket of apples over there, I picked one up and washed it and ate it, it was called a cold heart, I knew that I would eat a gray fried cake just now.
