Chapter 578: Sensible
Old Man Shen, who understood the general situation of the matter, of course would not let go of his daughter's behavior lightly. In fact, Old Man Shen has a long history of opinions about his daughter, who has never been married. If he could have been out of sight and out of mind because of his daughter's request to give him time and his own request, after the previous incident that alarmed the relevant state departments, the old man already felt that he could no longer let his daughter continue to do nothing in this matter.
And the fact that the daughter actually involved her little granddaughter who was still studying in school for the sake of her lifelong event made the old man feel that he had to educate his daughter well, and he couldn't be so ignorant when he was old.
Old Man Shen glanced at his daughter and asked, "Oh, is that so, Xiaowei." I didn't even think you would care about the two of us old thoughts? There's something you're afraid of. I thought you didn't think you could take the two of us old ones for fear now that your wings are stiff. ”
Shen Hongwei didn't know what it meant to ask a cold but polite question like this with her father's temper. Because in her short life journey, although she was questioned by her father like this many times, she also had a few times that were quite impressive. And that kind of experience was something she didn't want to have again.
Shen Hongwei was sitting precariously at this moment, and she really didn't dare to take the liberty of picking up her father's topic. Compared with Shen Yiyi, who is sitting very relaxed at this time, she can be said to be sitting on pins and needles. But at this time, Shen Hongwei knew that now after her father came back. It has entered a more critical stage of the whole topic. The response was a little careless, and she didn't want to learn again how fierce the fire from her father would be. So Shen Hongwei just held her posture and didn't make any speech.
However, Shen Haijiang originally wanted to use his daughter's temperament. When you hear something that seems sarcastic, you should react immediately, such as retorting loudly, or at least muttering a few words. But now his previous words seemed to be like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no reaction in the slightest.
Shen Haijiang's heart silently gave his daughter a thumb. It seems that his daughter has grown up in this time. At least her cultivation skills have been deepened. For some of the remarks she didn't like to hear, at least it wasn't a sting when she heard it.
Of course, Shen Haijiang thinks that in addition to his daughter's progress. What should be criticized is still to be criticized. Because it is true that it is not appropriate to bring her niece into the house to discuss marriage with her elders as she did today. This approach makes Shen Yiyi and the elders in the family feel very uncomfortable. To put it bluntly, this is an uneducated and impolite thing. Shen Haijiang was very reluctant to admit that the daughter he had raised for so many years didn't even know this basic etiquette. She was acting entirely according to her own preferences, not according to the norms of what to do or not to do.
So Shen Haijiang still asked a different way at the moment: "Tell me now, what do you think?" This has involved your niece, won't you be embarrassed to be an aunt? Which aunt do you see like you? ”
Shen Hongwei actually regretted it faintly at this time. The aunt invited her niece to discuss her aunt's marriage. This kind of thing is really rare. I guess if you let people outside know. She, the daughter who has never been able to marry in the old Shen family, will become a topic of conversation in everyone's mouth again. Even the relatives and elders at home will be laughed at. In this way, it really makes sense that I was said by my parents to be thoughtless. It's a pity that there is no turning back from the start of construction. His nieces have already been taken by himself to participate in this process, and now there is no superfluous point in going back and asking whether he is doing things reliably.
Shen Hongwei looked up in the direction of Shen Yiyi, but saw that the big black and white eyes of her brilliant little niece were staring at her without blinking. I don't know if it's because I feel guilty or belatedly awakened, Shen Hongwei only feels that her face is very hot now.
Shen Yiyi saw her sister-in-law's current expression, and knew in her heart that if she could build a soft ladder for her to get off the sedan chair at this time, then she would definitely remember her good thanks to herself. So in line with the logic that convenience with others is for his own convenience, Shen Yiyi interjected and said to his grandfather at this time: "Grandpa." It's fine. I'm a college student now, so I know what I shouldn't know and what I shouldn't know is now qualified to study. My sister-in-law can also be regarded as educating me about the relationship between marriage and family in advance. Besides. If my sister-in-law really wants to get married, then I always have the right to know about who she is marrying. I want her to marry someone who loves me as much as you do. Otherwise, if my sister-in-law marries an uncle who can't get along with me, it will be difficult to even take my sister-in-law with me. That's not good. ”
Old Man Shen knew what and for whom his little granddaughter was behaving at this time. As the head of the family, he is of course happy to see that the old and young in the family can be twisted into a rope. In that case, it will not be so easy for others to separate or break up the family. The big tree of the Shen family, Ziyi, can flourish and grow for a long time.
Old Man Shen wanted to say a few words to his granddaughter, but was preempted by his wife. Old Mrs. Shen looked at her little daughter, and then at her little granddaughter, how she looked at it and how happy. Of course, what she likes the most now is her little granddaughter. Looking at her little granddaughter's performance again, which was obviously maintaining her daughter's performance, the old lady was happy in her heart, and reached out and touched her little granddaughter's head: "Silly children say stupid things." What is your uncle going to do with you? This day was lived by your uncle and aunt, not with you. Of course, as long as your uncle and aunt get along. You have to get along, get along with your own boyfriend in the future, don't come to get involved in your aunt's affairs. ”
Shen Yiyi listened to his grandmother's obvious jokes with himself, and knew in his heart that this was to make the old lady happy. She has always known that what the older generation in the family likes to see most is that the old and young in the family are harmonious and the family is harmonious. So she said to the old lady even more: "Grandma, according to your words." It doesn't matter if my uncle doesn't like me. So what should I do if my aunt marries my uncle and my uncle scolds me when he sees me? ”
The old lady spat and said, "The child's speech is becoming more and more inaccurate. You thought your aunt would be so blind. Find an uncle who won't like you? Don't talk about your sister-in-law, that person can't get through the grandparents alone. If anyone doesn't like my cute, beautiful, and sensible little granddaughter, then there must be something wrong with this person. How can such a person be a grandmother's son-in-law? ”
The double reed sung by the grandfather and grandson was very lively, but on the side, Shen Hongwei, who was obviously closely related to this matter, felt sour and unacceptable in her eyes. She couldn't help but interject, "You guys are enough, right?" Why is this my life's work in your mouths like a joke? My husband, now that he has prioritized your needs, where is my own autonomy? Isn't that really an arranged marriage? I strongly disagree. ”
As soon as these words came out. Old Man Shen immediately came to the spirit. This is waiting for this girl to bring the topic to her lips by herself. No, this girl really talked about the issue of marriage herself. Old Man Shen picked up the topic with a cough: "Oh, you have to respect your marital autonomy." Yes. Tell us how you planned your marriage. What kind of people have you found over the years? Is there a point score that can be married? As long as you can say it yourself, then there is no such thing as an arranged marriage. ”
In fact, before Shen Hongwei came back this day, when she was in the café, she had already talked a lot about Shen Yiyi one by one. Under Shen Yiyi's persuasion. Shen Hongwei has also moved to meet the man introduced by her parents. Then find out the details of the other party's thoughts. In other words, in fact, Shen Hongwei did not reject the blind date that her parents introduced to her this time. The problem, however, is that she is still too embarrassed to tell her parents about it.
Think about it too. I resisted so much before, and I had to protest and run away from home, but it didn't take a few days for me to agree to go on a blind date again. This makes her so faceless. In the future, if you encounter something that your parents have imposed on you, you don't have to protest anymore. Shen Hongwei thought about it a lot, but she still didn't know if she wanted to make it clear to her parents directly.
Shen Yiyi looked at his aunt one by one, and it really didn't look like she had the courage to confess to her grandparents at this meeting. In the end, I decided to help my aunt by myself, even if it was to explain the matter clearly and Ji Feicheng. Anyway, Shen Yiyi knew. This decision is a great thing for the elders in the family. The youngest daughter who has been raised at home for so many years is now finally expected to get married, which is not a good thing, what is a good thing.
Shen Yiyi said to Old Man Shen: "Grandpa, you don't know anything. In fact, when I was out drinking coffee with my aunt today, my aunt had already relented. In fact, she also wanted to know more about the prospective uncle introduced to her by her grandparents. Now it is not like the blind marriage and dumb marriage that was practiced in the past. Our sister-in-law is also a very assertive person. So my sister-in-law wants to let her know a little bit more about that person's actual situation before you match her with that person. In this way, you will be able to have a basic understanding before you meet, and you will have a realistic psychological expectation. Everyone will be able to face this matter more purposefully. Do you think so, sister-in-law? ”
Shen Yiyi also confirmed it with Shen Hongwei at the end. This can be regarded as transmitting the conversation box to Shen Hongwei, so that she can continue to talk about her thoughts to the elders in the family. This is different from what Shen Hongwei said herself, through Shen Yiyi's threading in front, Old Man Shen can also have a bottom in his heart about what his daughter thinks, and after being prepared, he will not be so wary of his obedient daughter this time. Even if there are still some dissatisfied people in their hearts who want to sour their daughter, for the sake of their most beloved granddaughter, it will not be as lethal as before. At the very least, the atmosphere of the next conversation was created.
Sure enough, when Old Man Shen heard his little granddaughter say this, the critical eyes that originally looked at his daughter also changed. It turned out that she was the youngest daughter who had always been working against her parents on marriage matters, and this time she finally realized her parents' ardent love for her, and she also knew how to cooperate with her parents' arrangements. For Old Man Shen, who has always had an opinion on his daughter on this matter, it is similar to the feeling that the prodigal son will not change his money. So the old man also asked his daughter in a relieved tone: "Oh? Is that so? Then I'm really going to have a drink and celebrate that my daughter is finally sensible. ”
Since the little niece has already made a ball for herself, Shen Hongwei is not stupid enough not to know how to seize this opportunity. She followed the question and said, "How could I not know that Mom and Dad have always been good for me?" It's just that I've always been afraid that your eyes on people are different from my eyes on people, and you will force me to submit to someone I don't like. That's why I don't want to follow your arrangements to go on a blind date like before. That's why she analyzed it with me in the coffee shop one by one today, and it occurred to me that instead of being so passive and uncooperative with your arrangement, it was not to see what your vision was. If I can prove with personal contact that you actually have times when you can't see people accurately, then I will have more capital to adhere to an independent attitude towards life. So I'm not wrong to say it one by one, I'm going home today to tell you that you can arrange for me to meet that person. ”
Although her tone carried all the pride of Shen Hongwei as always, her soft posture and her low-key gesture could be heard from her speech. These are enough to make Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen feel very relieved. The little daughter, who has always been awkward, is finally able to play an obedient child this time.
Therefore, Old Lady Shen's eyes were flashing with tears. And Old Man Shen also calmed down for a moment before saying to Shen Hongwei, "Okay." If you're willing to try, it's fine. If you can really prove that you are already more able to read people than your parents, then your mother and I can really rest assured. (To be continued.) )
