Chapter 59: Zhu Qingzi's thoughts
In fact, even she didn't know what psychology she had, when several eldest brothers knew that their mother was in love with Uncle Chen, they didn't oppose it very strongly at first, but she provoked it, which caused everyone's strong disgust, plus her dead father had a scandal, and several brothers were extremely face-conscious people, so they were provoked by her, and all the original soft attitudes hardened.
And she doesn't want her mother and Uncle Chen to get married, which will kill her last chance.
Sitting in the western restaurant with large floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the secretary thought that Chen Tianyun was having dinner with his girlfriend, so he booked a romantic western restaurant. Zhu Qingzi held a clean water cup and drank lemonade slowly. Chen Tianyun looked at her drinking posture, indifferently with a hint of elegance, he smiled slightly, remembering that every time Hu Xixi forced her to drink water, she would take one or two sips on the spot, and then put it aside impatiently, with a rude gesture, but she was so frank and chic, without any pretentiousness.
"Laughing at what?" Zhu Qingzi put down the water glass and found that he looked at her and smiled softly, and her heart fluttered, and that joy made the pores of her whole body expand.
"Nothing!" Chen Tianyun found out about his gaffe, and hurriedly covered it up, "By the way, what do you want to eat, the ostrich steak in this restaurant is good, and my girlfriend likes to eat it the most." β
Zhu Qingzi said: "I want salad, I don't like meat very much." β
"Lose weight? You women always talk about losing weight all day long, I see that you are in good shape, there is no need to deliberately lose weight. Chen Tianyun opened the menu and saw that Hu Xixi eating was a pleasure, and everything she ate was as if it was very delicious, and she was very involved in eating.
After calling the waiter to order the meal, Chen Tianyun asked, "What do your brothers think?" β
Zhu Qingzi frowned and sighed: "Before I say their opinion, maybe I should tell you a story, so that you can understand why they are so persistently opposed." β
Chen Tianyun sat upright, it was a matter of the old man's happiness, of course he was cautious.
Zhu Qingzi fell into the memory, her expression was a little desolate, that period of the past had a deep impact on her, so that she was a little painful to recall now.
"My dad is a university professor and my mom is a middle school teacher, and the two have been married for many years and have always loved each other and rarely quarreled. The family is also very harmonious, and the brothers are either lecturers or doctors, and they can be regarded as promising. I was the eldest in my family, and I was only in junior high school the year my father died. I'll never forget the clichΓ© of a woman leading a girl, about my age, who came to worship my father. But no one recognized them, and they could not tell who they were, but the girl knelt straight down to her father's portrait and called out to her father. Mom fainted on the spot, and the blow was too big for her. We kicked the two out, and the girl looked like her father, and there was a small mole in the corner of her eye, and no one suspected that she was not her father's blood. But no one recognized them. In the hearts of our brothers and sisters, this matter will always be a dead knot and represent a shame. The glorious image of Dad in our hearts has been dusted. Zhu Qingzi slowly told this past incident, Chen Tianyun was deeply touched by these things, because since he was a child, he also watched how his father was attentive and how he broke his mother's heart, but Aunt Long suffered so many grievances, and in her later years, she found someone she liked, why did her children not succeed but blocked it? He couldn't help asking, "If that's the case, you should be more in favor of Aunt Long and my grandfather being together, why should you oppose it?" β
"You don't know what kind of shame this is in our family, my brothers said that my father has discredited our family, and we can't let my mother make some peach scandals in her old age. So resolutely opposed. Zhu Qingzi said helplessly, the sons of the Zhu family do have such a meaning, but their attitude is not so resolute, if it is not for her instigation, then there may be no room for maneuver.
She was in favor of it at the beginning, but now she is against it for two reasons, first, if her mother and Uncle Hu are married, then she is Chen Tianyun's honorary aunt. Second, she has frequently met the wild woman recently, that is, the daughter of Professor Zhu Lao who was born outside, and she can't let them see her mother's jokes, saying that she can't be widowed, and she is still looking for a man in her seventies and eighties. This is tantamount to a slap in the face.
A woman is fickle, not because she doesn't love her mother, but because she can't accept the many problems that come with it. It's just that in front of Chen Tianyun, she used a few brothers as shields. But her brothers did think the same way as her.
"Ridiculous, where is this shame? As juniors, we can only try our best to make our elders happy, and this is what my girlfriend taught me. Chen Tianyun didn't understand their thoughts, where is this shame? Shouldn't people who read a lot know more truths? When you are old, how many years of blessings can you enjoy? Since you have found someone to stay with, you should be happy as a junior.
Zhu Qingzi smiled reluctantly, "I naturally think the same way, but I also said before that my brothers' personalities are relatively conservative, and they may not be able to accept the old people together." In this way, I will go back to do ideological work for them, and we will keep in touch at all times, and I will ask everyone to come out and talk when necessary, hoping to fulfill the wishes of the two of you. β
Chen Tianyun nodded, he suddenly felt very sad, he was old, he couldn't even make his own decisions about his love, the world's vision, the opposition of his children, and being pointed at by others, he began to understand what Hu Xixi said, he had to do everything possible to accommodate them, and he couldn't let them have a trace of grievances. Yes, what they have suffered is not only a grievance, but an insult. The old man is sick, these things have also been told to Aunt Long, Aunt Long herself means that she doesn't care, everyone is old, you can be together for as long as you can, love is not the patent of young people, why do people cheer when they see two young people desperately breaking through the world for love, and when they become old people, everyone looks at it with colored eyes?
Zhu Qingzi saw Chen Tianyun's lost look, and determined that the position of the old man in his heart was very important, so she said: "Don't worry, even if my brothers don't agree, I will often bring my mother to your house, hoping to let them see each other more, so it doesn't matter if you don't get married." β
Chen Tianyun smiled gratefully, "Thank you, that's the only way to do it now, but I always want them to come together and take care of each other." After all, they don't have much time left, and I hope they all have a good old age with no regrets. β
"I'll do my best, before things go wrong, I'll take my mother to your house on Saturday and Sunday, you shouldn't dislike us, right?" Zhu Qingzi said with a smile.
"How so? I can't ask for it. β
While talking, the food came, Zhu Qingzi only ordered a salad, Chen Tianyun took it upon himself to order a dessert for her, it was mango pudding, he smiled and said: "I prefer the way women are satisfied when they eat desserts." Of course, that woman can only be Hu Xixi.
Zhu Qingzi ate the dessert slowly, smiled and said: "Eating dessert can make people feel happy and produce amine polyphenols, so that there will be fewer wrinkles and people will be younger." β
"Then you're going to have to eat more." Chen Tianyun pushed the basin of ostrich meat aside, and then began to eat his caramel stew, these things are Hu Xi's favorite food, it turns out that when you get along with a person a lot, it will more or less contaminate her life habits. He found that he already resembled Hu Xixi to a certain extent.
"Waiter, please pack a caramel stew, I want it." Chen Tianyun looked at his watch, Hu Xixi should have almost finished eating at this time, so he sent it over.
Hu Xixi is a gluttonous cat, with the banner of weight loss, she keeps eating Haisai, but fortunately, she has a lot of exercise and will not get fat. Otherwise, with so many calories she eats in a day, it would be strange that she would not be a pig.
"Do you have to pack it after eating? Do you really like to eat so much? Zhu Qingzi looked at him funny.
"No, it was packed for my girlfriend, she likes this dessert the most." Chen Tianyun smiled, when a man no matter what he said, there was always a way to turn the topic around that woman, it proved that he really loved this woman miserably, but Zhu Qingzi didn't understand, she didn't think that Hu Xixi could subdue Chen Tianyun's heart. A woman who is basically featureless, uneducated, vulgar, with children, does not go to work, and is sloppy all day long, if it is not for the old man's liking, how can she enter the house and live in the Chen family?
She was suddenly shocked, what was she doing? Do you really like Chen Tianyun? She glanced at Chen Tianyun, elegant and handsome, generous, noble and high-grade, why can't she like such a man? When I thought about it, I felt at ease again.
Zhu Qingzi's mind is that now that the old man likes her mother, then she takes her mother to go for a few days a week, with her elegance and cultivation, plus her mother's presence, the old man will definitely like herself more. That Hu Xixi is out, it is a matter of time or time.
If Chen Tianyun knew her thoughts at this time, he would not let her enter the door of the Chen family even if he was killed, but now he only cares about the happiness of the old man, and Zhu Qingzi has gotten along well a few times, but he didn't expect her to have so many eyes. Or maybe I didn't think about it at all. After the two finished eating, Chen Tianyun insisted on sending Zhu Qingzi back to school and then giving dessert to Hu Xixi.
Zhu Qingzi was also very pleased with his thoughtfulness. At the school gate, I met a colleague who went out at noon, and when I saw her get off a famous car, they all expressed their admiration, and the sharp-eyed colleague found that the man turned out to be Chen Tianyun, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Wow, it's Chen Tianyun, how do you know him?" β
"What do you know, we're just friends, don't talk nonsense." Zhu Qingzi said sweetly.
"Friend, are you a liar? Confess, when did you meet? Doesn't he have a girlfriend? I heard that it is the mother of a student at our school. I'll just say, how could Chen Tianyun fall in love with a mother? "A few teachers walked into the campus like a few eight women, talking and laughing.
Tomorrow's update will be a little later, and there will be a lot of things in the morning!
