Chapter 175: The Spring of Literary and Artistic Youth
Last time, it was said that Chen Qiyun took Liu Yiyi back to his hometown to recognize his parents, and staged a human tragicomedy that made his neighbors sigh constantly.
After meeting her mother, Liu Yiyi, under the traction of Chen Qiyun's mother and accompanied by Chen Qiyun, walked into the courtyard and met her father amid the admiration of the onlookers.
Chen Qiyun's father is a typical rural cadre, who has both the simplicity of a farmer and the majesty of a cadre. But at this time, as a father, Chen Qiyun's father was a little helpless in the face of this flower-like daughter who fell from the sky. Regardless of his reserve, he suddenly stood up from the bamboo chair and threw the cigarette pouch and pot on the stone table on the side, Chen Qiyun's father seemed to want to hug this unknown daughter, and was amazed by Liu Yiyi's beauty, and was stunned on the spot for a while.
With a deep bow, Liu Yiyi called out to her father. This simple call with a sweet voice made Chen Qiyun's father move to tears for the Sichuan man, and his voice trembled and repeated repeatedly, and finally held back a sentence: "Girl, just go home!" ”
After witnessing the reunion of a family of four, hugging their heads and crying in a touching episode, the neighbors felt satisfied, as if the reporter got a heavy news clue, and instantly scattered, and they all found relatives and friends who were familiar with each other to gossip.
Without the onlookers of the neighbors, the family of four was finally able to quietly confide in each other their excitement.
Chen Qiyun's father and mother sat on both sides of the Eight Immortals table in the hall, and Chen Qiyun and Liu Yiyi sat at the bottom of their parents, and the family of four completely relied on the traditional style.
Nowadays, many people are very critical of etiquette, thinking that it is a stale, outdated, and outdated product of the times. Some even think that the etiquette makes things so complicated that they are unbearable.
In fact, in most of ancient China, classical etiquette played a positive role. As we all know, many of the laws of feudal society were very harsh. If you're not careful, you can die. In this case, it is essential to have a rigorous code of conduct that is accepted by all. As long as everyone strictly abides by this code of conduct and abides by their duties and does not go beyond the bounds, there will basically be no accidents.
Another important benefit of etiquette is that it simplifies people's behavior. Let's give you an example. If there were now a socially accepted etiquette norm that required unmarried men and women to address each other's mothers as aunts, there would be no confusion caused by titles.
Another example is if the etiquette code stipulates that the younger generation must bow when they see the elders, then the young people face the teacher. In the face of superiors, in the face of all kinds of familiar or unfamiliar elders, who need or do not need to stammer, they know what to do. Even if a young man with a lofty heart is suspected of stammering with certain leaders, there is no need to be taboo. Even if you say hello to some outdated leaders, you don't have to be afraid of suspicion of fried cold rice. No matter all kinds of embarrassing situations, as long as you follow the etiquette, you will not be afraid of what others will say.
Many newcomers who have just entered the officialdom or workplace are always suffering from not knowing how to show themselves in front of their bosses, and if there is a set of corresponding code of conduct to guide everyone, I believe that many people can do better. All kinds of misunderstandings caused by different behaviors and habits will not happen.
“… The comparison of the genetic samples was a long one, and we paid the expedited fee and waited for several hours to finally get the test report. When the staff congratulated me, I was so overwhelmed by the huge surprise that I didn't even know what to say. Fortunately, Zhihui woke me up from the surprise in time. And then there was the phone call you received yesterday..."Chen Qiyun carefully reported to his parents about his encounter with Liu Yiyi in the past few days. The old couple listened carefully with great interest, and at the same time asked for detailed details from time to time. In the end, I carefully inquired about Liu Yiyi's experience over the years, and couldn't help but sigh at the fate of her daughter.
"Sure enough, they're twin brothers and sisters! In just a moment, we can sense each other's sustenance, which is really God's hope that our family of four can be reunited. Chen Qiyun's father sighed. I think he was a famous literary and artistic young man in ten miles and eight villages back then, and he still had a set of texts.
"Tell me which Zhihui you have in your mouth, you mentioned her several times. At first, it was because the two of you were going to go to the movies together, right? How far have you got? Compared with her husband's sluggishness, Chen Qiyun's mother keenly captured the strange girl in her son's mouth. In his four years of college, this kid never mentioned any news of his girlfriend to his family. Although the old couple once heard from the side that their son had a girlfriend in college, the details of the plot are unknown.
"I'll tell you!" Liu Yiyi took over the topic. "When I passed by them, I was attracted by the girl next to my brother, because this brother's classmate Zhou Zhihui is so beautiful that I can't help but want to see what kind of excellent boyfriend can be worthy of her outstanding looks? So I was lucky enough to sense my brother. Thanks to Zhihui! ”
"Yiyi, it seems that your brother's girlfriend is very beautiful? Do you know what she does at home? Chen Qiyun's mother grasped the right to speak and asked with great interest.
"I heard my brother say that her parents should be officials in Shanghai, and the officials are not small! So I felt more pressured and didn't report to the second elder in time. Liu Yiyi broke the news.
"What's the pressure? We haven't written a word yet! It's not too late to report back to home when the relationship is confirmed. Chen Qiyun said dryly.
Chen Qiyun's father frowned and asked, "Do the girl's parents know about your relationship?" Has there been any clear statement? If I want you to be my son-in-law, we won't do it! ”
Chen Qiyun made a big red face. embarrassed replied: "What kind of son-in-law who doesn't come to the door, people may not look down on me!" The last time I went to their house, their parents were very kind and declared that they were not against our relationship! It's just that her mother's tone is a little dissatisfied, and I'm almost estranged from Zhihui for this! ”
"I've all come to see my parents, it seems that the relationship between the two of you should be confirmed! I knew that I should have brought the girl to my house this time, so let's see. That's a double blessing. Chen Qiyun's mother took Liu Yiyi's little hand and sighed. Think about it! Isn't it a double happiness to see my long-lost daughter and son's new girlfriend come to the door?
"I think it's going to be a while! After all, your parents haven't fully accepted your son. In fact, you can wait until I have made a big career in Shanghai before considering the choice of daughter-in-law. Chen Qiyun sacrificed the procrastination trick. The other mother's words are still like a thorn in his heart.
The empathetic Liu Yiyi put forward a reasonable proposal in time: "Although the official eunuchs pay attention to the right person to choose their marriage partners, they are also blue-eyed for scientists, scholars or artists. I heard my brother say that he learned calligraphy and painting from his father when he was a child. If you practice diligently for a period of time and become a well-known calligrapher or painter, it will be much easier for my brother to be recognized by others. ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Yiyi seemed to hear Yang Liuyuan's roar in Russia: "Will I send you to beat mandarin ducks or be a matchmaker?" I didn't expect you to be the most unreliable, what do you want to make trouble? ”
"It's not difficult to achieve something with Xiaoyun's qualifications, but it's not easy to make a name for yourself." Chen Qiyun's father said worriedly. As a government official, he still has this knowledge. For the calligraphy and painting mentioned by his daughter, these are two things that he is proud of. As a model of literary and artistic youth in the 80s, Chen Qiyun's father can be described as a trendsetter of the year, whether it is hazy poetry, or playing the guitar and playing the harmonica, this old literary and artistic youth can handle it. Of course, he is still most proud of calligraphy and painting. You must know that at that time, you had to be invited to the bureau to eat prison when you drew ** sketches.
"Yes! It's not that simple to be famous these days, unless you want to be infamous. Our Xiaoyun is not that kind of person! Chen Qiyun's mother echoed. can be valued by famous literary and artistic young women in ten miles and eight towns, Chen Qiyun's mother's insight will naturally not be as short-sighted as other peasant women bosses.
"Mom and Dad, please rest assured, although fate played a joke on me, and made me an orphan for so many years. But because of this, I was able to live stronger than others. Now, with my hard work, I have not only been admitted to a prestigious university, but also made a name for myself in the business world in Shanghai and made many friends. If I ask a friend for help, I believe that my brother's talent will be noticed by the industry in a short period of time. Liu Yiyi comforted. In fact, Liu Yiyi's hole cards still have a lot to say, such as using Yang Liu's connections. Even Yang Liu himself may have come forward to have a better effect.
"I didn't expect our family to have such a great ability! Then your brother's marriage depends on you. Your brother has never been worry-free since he was a child, and now he is so old that he still needs you to worry about being a sister. Glancing at her son, Chen Qiyun's mother sighed.
"Isn't it right that my sister can do what she can for her brother? Mom and Dad, please rest assured, my brother's marriage is wrapped up in me! Liu Yiyi swore and promised. (To be continued.) )
