Cheng Jiemin sat calmly opposite Gu Xixi's mother and daughter, thinking about a passage in his notebook: To be a man, you must strive to become a flower, which is almost the highest state of being a person. Let those who oppose you understand you, let those who understand you support you, let those who support you be loyal to you, and let those who are loyal to you defend you. Allow someone not to like you, but not for him to hate you. If he wants to hate you, he must also make him afraid of you. Of course, these need to be supported by your wisdom and personal character.

Cheng Jiemin pondered this passage repeatedly, thinking about countermeasures to deal with Gu Xixi's mother.

"The countryside is good, the air is fresh." Zuo Xinlan took a sip of the water cup elegantly and said lightly.

As a smart girl, where could Gu Xixi not understand her mother's reaction? From her mother's every move, she is enough to judge that her mother doesn't like Cheng Jiemin. In this gentle and arrogant way, she is telling the man she loves in front of her: Your family background is not good, don't think about sparrows becoming phoenixes anymore!

"Mom, Jiemin works in the Water Conservancy Department, and this morning he made a statement on behalf of the agricultural cadres!"

Zuo Xinlan nodded, although she had prejudices against this boy, she had to admit that the young man was still quite mental. I'm afraid that my daughter has taken a fancy to him, and it is not for nothing. But even so, she can't tolerate her daughter falling into the fire pit for the sake of so-called love!

"Xiao Cheng, I remember when I went to the countryside, what impressed me the most in the countryside was oatmeal buns and steamed bacon."

"Is it steamed buns made with oatmeal?" Gu Xixi asked curiously.

Zuo Xinlan glanced at her beloved daughter with complicated eyes, and said unceremoniously: "You have never been to the countryside at all, how can you know what the truth is like!" ”

"Oats are a plant that grows on hillsides, and the more barren and thin the land, the better the oats grow. There is no need to water during the planting process, and in the words of the local people, it depends on the harvest from the sky. Of course, there is no water to water in the village. At harvest time, the common people rub and thresh with their hands, because the wheat mangs have very fine fluff, and the skin will be itchy and swollen, which is very uncomfortable. Usually reluctant to eat, it comes in handy during the New Year's holidays. ”

"During the Chinese New Year, the production team will kill a New Year pig. A few of us educated youths volunteered to go to the bamboo forest to pick bamboo, cut cypress branches and artemisia, and came back to smoke bacon with the villagers. It was a rare delicacy, and I had never eaten anything so good since I got back to the city! ”

Zuo Xinlan's story is told calmly and in a good atmosphere. But Cheng Jiemin is a person who is thick and fine, and he can feel that Zuo Xinlan's storytelling has a deep meaning.

It's just that Zuo Xinlan didn't express this deep meaning directly, but her slightly upturned lips and the faint smile between her eyebrows all told him that she was looking down on his poverty.

Cheng Jiemin felt angry, but reason reminded him not to be irritable! The twenty years of life insights in the diary played a huge role in curbing at this time. He tried to keep a smile on his face, and said without humility or arrogance: "When Auntie went to the countryside, the countryside was indeed very poor. However, in recent years, as the national policy has continued to tilt towards the countryside, the situation in the countryside has been getting better and better! ”

Zuo Xinlan smiled noncommittally. Surrendering without a fight, this is a way of doing things that Zuo Xinlan admires the most, and today she came to see Cheng Jiemin, not by chance, but a decision made after careful consideration. She had to, she couldn't tolerate her pampered daughter going to that faraway place.

A country boy who has just graduated, what else can he have besides being enthusiastic and self-sufficient?

From the moment she saw Cheng Jiemin, she judged that this young man might be a little talented, and it is estimated that he was admitted to university from the countryside, and after the baptism of city life, the deep inferiority complex in his heart has been covered up by pretended disdain and arrogance.

She wants to provoke him, like hitting him in the soft underbelly, to make him quit automatically. As long as you master this little trick of manipulating people, I'm afraid that this young man who doesn't know the height of the sky will take the initiative to end this relationship.

It's just that what makes her a little dissatisfied is that from the current point of view, the young man is a bit difficult. This made Zuo Xinlan more and more unhappy, which fully showed that he was suspicious. You say, how can such a person let him get close to his precious daughter?

"Now that the country is paying more and more attention to agriculture, agriculture and agriculture, I believe that the countryside will get better and better." Zuo Xinlan said affectionately: "I still have deep feelings for the countryside, and the life of going to the mountains and going to the countryside is a memory that I can never erase in my life." ”

"At that time, there were 10 people in our educated youth spot, and the longest time they stayed there was five years, and a few of them became families in the countryside."

Facing Zuo Xinlan, Cheng Jiemin felt even more uncomfortable than facing a peerless master, he really had a feeling of being trapped and fighting. If Zuo Xinlan yelled loudly that you are not suitable or something as soon as she came up, Cheng Jiemin would not be so uncomfortable, but she is not, she is telling a story eloquently.

Cheng Jiemin tightened his mind and made a look of listening carefully, but he was a little nervous in his heart.

"When the educated youth returned to the city, do you know how many of them were still with their husbands and wives in the village?" Zuo Xinlan said this, pointed to Xiaolongbao and said to Cheng Jiemin: "Xiao Cheng, the buns that this VIP building claims to sell are the same, but in fact, the ones used in this VIP room are different from those in the hall, you can taste more." ”

Cheng Jiemin faced Zuo Xinlan, who seemed to be enthusiastic, but there was a cold heart in the enthusiasm, nodded politely, and put Zuo Xinlan and Gu Xixi into a small plate respectively, and then ate one himself.

"You drink saliva, don't choke!" Gu Xixi watched Cheng Jiemin eat it in one bite, and tenderly held Cheng Jiemin's cup and asked him to drink water.

Seeing this, Zuo Xinlan glared at her daughter fiercely, and the sense of superiority that had just risen disappeared in an instant.

This damn girl! Look at your tenderness and sweetness now, and your sins in the future!

"Hey, when we returned to the city, those few educated youths who had become a family had all gone through the divorce procedures. It doesn't matter if you're an adult, it's just a pain for a child! Zuo Xinlan sighed and said with some sadness: "At that time, we didn't understand, but when we got older, we figured it out, love is beautiful, but marriage is all-round." Different living habits and communication ranges, after the passion fades, what appears in front of the two is a lot of insurmountable chasms! ”

When Zuo Xinlan said this, her eyes fell on Cheng Jiemin: "Xiao Cheng, the first time I saw you, I thought you were a talented and responsible child. Do you understand what I mean? ”

Of course, Cheng Jiemin understood what Zuo Xinlan meant, Zuo Xinlan was telling him in this implicit way that he couldn't give Gu Xixi happiness, his background, his habits, and everything about him were not worthy of Gu Xixi.

quickly organized the language, Cheng Jiemin was about to refute, and Gu Xixi on the side was already anxious: "Mom, you are still a leader, why can't leaders look at problems with the times?" The main reason why those uncles and aunts didn't stick to it was because of the cultural differences between them! ”

"Jermin, you say, am I in a word?" Gu Xixi looked at Cheng Jiemin coquettishly and said mischievously.

Cheng Jiemin nodded: "Well, what Xi Xi said is not unreasonable. ”

Seeing this, Zuo Xinlan couldn't help but lose her temper, but she still took a deep breath, tried to calm her emotions, and said softly: "Xiao Cheng, as soon as I get in touch with you, my aunt will know that you know right from wrong and reasonable." If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me. I am willing to do my best to help you to the best of my ability. However, you also do your aunt a favor, she is still very simple and naïve, and her judgment of things is easy to be hot-headed. If you like it, no, no, no, if you cherish this friendship between you, you should think about it for her, let go of the present, focus on the long term, and let Xi Xi live happily, right? ”

Before Cheng Jiemin was about to speak, he was interrupted by Zuo Xinlan: "I know you want to say that you can do it, you can do it, but if you listen to me, I will have a child at home." But in our big family, there is still a large family, and they are the fifth. ”

"There are three cousins and one cousin. All four of them are married, and the embarrassing sister-in-law is the daughter of Mayor Zou; The second sister-in-law is the daughter of Deputy Director Chen of the Department of Finance; The third brother is the son-in-law of Secretary General Li of the Provincial Party Committee; The embarrassed cousin is married to the son of Minister He of the Propaganda Department. There are some things that you may not be able to think about now, but there are some things in our family that my embarrassed father and I can't accept, and I ask for your understanding......"

Without waiting for Zuo Xinlan to finish speaking, Gu Xixi eagerly interrupted: "Mom, what are you talking nonsense here......"

Zuo Xinlan's words can be described as a heart-wrenching sentence, and every sentence is like a knife. Although she said it very tactfully, there is a layer of meaning that is obvious: Cheng Jiemin, you can't measure yourself, it's not something you can peep at!

You are a poor boy from the countryside and want to enter the gate of the Gu family, isn't this wishful thinking?

Although Cheng Jiemin got the diary recorded in his previous life, which made him a lot more mature than ordinary people, at this moment, he still felt that a raging flame was burning in his heart.

"Hey, I just want to tell Xiao Cheng about the actual situation at home." Zuo Xinlan patted her daughter's head and turned her gaze to Cheng Jiemin: "Xiao Cheng, I believe you will understand my concerns." ”

"Auntie, I understand your feelings, but I want to tell you a fact, Xixi and I really love each other."

Zuo Xinlan seemed to smile with relief: "Yes, Xiao Cheng, you are right, it is because I know this that I firmly believe that you will find happiness that truly belongs to her for the sake of Xixi, not so selfish." ”
