Chapter 216: The Past
When Ni Yunping arrived, Mu Nan and her parents-in-law were at home. Ni Yunping has always respected Mu Nan's parents in the past, but this time she didn't say hello to the two old men for the first time, gave Mu Nan something with a cold face, and got up and went out.
As soon as the person left, the mother-in-law hurriedly asked her father-in-law to read the agreement to her. Mu Nan returned to his house with two jewelry boxes, and locked the door with his backhand. He is too familiar with these two boxes, they were all handed over to Xinxin by himself, and now they have been delivered back by the hands of Xinxin's sister-in-law Ni Yunping.
The diamond ring in the red leather box is their wedding ring. Moreover, this ring was asked for by Xinxin herself.
Mu Nan clearly remembered that day was the first anniversary of his acquaintance with Xinxin, and he specially invited Xinxin to eat lobster, but Xinxin refused with a smile, saying that she was losing weight and didn't want to eat so much meat.
Mu Nan couldn't remember what he ordered at that time, but he remembered that it cost less than a hundred yuan in total. Of course, he knew that this was Xinxin saving money for him, and his heart was very sweet, but there was also a little faint sourness.
The two of them were drinking and chatting, and Xinxin suddenly asked, "When are you going to marry me?" ”
Mu Nan was stunned for a moment, in the past few years after working, his money was either used to pay off student loans or to help his family pay off debts, and now he really has little left on hand. He wanted to save money again, even if it was enough for the down payment of a small house, and then proposed to Xinxin, but he didn't expect to be defeated by Xinxin like this.
He pitifully took out his salary card, on which were all his savings, only a meager tens of thousands of yuan. He was afraid that the cute girl in front of him would be unhappy.
Unexpectedly, Xinxin smiled and said, "Yes, it's enough to buy me a ring." So, he used the money to buy a diamond ring for Xinxin, and Xinxin wore it to show off everywhere happily. This is how the marriage was decided.
When preparing for the marriage, he told Xinxin that his family might not be able to help much, it was not easy for the family to provide him with college, and he helped pay off the foreign debts after work. He couldn't bear to let his parents worry about his marriage anymore. Xinxin understood very well, and said at that time that he didn't need to pay a penny from his family. Even the old man and mother-in-law did not raise any objections to this. At that time, although he didn't say anything, his heart was very moved.
On the day of the wedding. The scene is very large, and several good buddies who know him secretly stick out their tongues, praising him for saving money, and he always sends money home on weekdays, but he didn't expect to keep a hand. Only he knows it in his heart. Every qiē fee for marriage is paid by Shin Shin's family.
After marriage, in order to take care of his face, Xinxin did not listen to her mother's advice to live in the house, but offered to rent a house with him. Later, the two of them worked hard to save money by renting a house, and with the help of Shin Shin's parents, they finally bought their own house, and just after settling down, the baby came. Later, my parents also came over to help watch the children. And then later...... Mu Nan couldn't help but cry when he thought about it, when it was the hardest, he and Xinxin came hand in hand, why. Why is it ...... now? If the parents didn't come, if the mother didn't mess with him so much when she had a conflict with Xinxin, wouldn't it...... Isn't that the case? Mu Nan thought like this, and began to complain a little about her mother in her heart. However, when he saw the gold earrings lying there quietly, his heart softened again.
This pair of gold earrings was bought by my father-in-law who went to the mountains to smash stones to make money the year before last. Parents have always said that they didn't give them anything when they got married, and they were very sorry. This time, I made a few thousand yuan, and I specially bought a pair of gold earrings for Shin Shin, which was counted as compensation.
There are not many children in the mountains who can come out. Especially Mu Nan's village. Most people pay more attention to immediate interests, many children have just graduated from junior high school and go out to earn money, and it is rare for people like Mu Nan to go all the way to college. When his parents decided to send him to high school, he was ridiculed by the villagers. Everyone thinks it's a waste of money. But the parents persevered. Later, he was admitted to a key university very competitively, and the discussion in the village gradually subsided. In order to raise money for him to pay for his college tuition. The old couple is still struggling. Although in college, Mu Nan quickly applied for a student loan, but she still had to figure out her own living expenses. When he was in college, his brother was getting married again, and his father was so worried that his hair turned gray overnight. That winter, Mu Nan returned to his hometown during the winter vacation, looking at his parents busy in the dark kitchen, he secretly made up his mind that he must let his parents live a good life.
After so many years in a blink of an eye, the life of my parents is much better than back then, but the retirement life enjoyed by the elderly in the city is still out of their reach. Now, he finally brought his parents here, but he didn't let them take care of his old age, but let them work hard to take care of the children and take care of the housework for him. Even if he worked hard for his children in this way, the old man still had to endure the critical eyes of his daughter-in-law in the city.
Perhaps, in Xinxin's eyes, this pair of rustic gold earrings is really nothing, but for her parents, it is also a great gift. The two elder brothers in the family are not angry, and the parents' money to subsidize them is not enough, so if they want to buy gifts for Shin Shin, they have to think of another way. That's why my father found this job in the mountains. Although it is hard, the salary is high, and the money is enough for one season. Thinking that his father was still smashing stones on the mountain against the north wind at such an age, Mu Nan couldn't help but feel sour, and it was not easy for his parents. Xinxin, can't you be more generous?
Mu Nan thought about it, for a while he was biased towards Xinxin, and for a while he was biased towards his parents, in fact, in his eyes, they all loved him very much, and they were all his closest people, but why, they couldn't get along peacefully? Why is it that he is always asked to choose one side and must give up the other? Mu Nan can't figure it out, he really can't figure it out! He really hopes that time can be turned back and let him go back to when he just married Xinxin, when Xinxin was so sensible and considerate, he took her back to his hometown, and she didn't dislike his family for being poor and broken. She got up early with him and helped her mother in the little dark kitchen; She ate with him, and swallowed the plain meal sweetly; She squinted and called out to her in-laws, kissing them as if they were her own parents...... At that time, my mother was still kind and loving as a child, she always looked at them with satisfaction, and never said that Xinxin was not; She always pushed him to hand over the money, saying that as long as they were doing well; She praised her newly married daughter-in-law whenever she met people, and the neighbors knew that she loved this little daughter-in-law......
However, I can't go back, I can't go back...... (To be continued.) )
