Section 2 Another weekend
The next weekend, I went back to my home.
My parents and sister were very happy to see me come home, and I was busy distributing cigarettes and talking to the people in the bay.
After dinner, my parents and I sat at the table while my sister washed the dishes. I took out my salary and gave it to my parents. After seeing that my mother had put it away, I said carefully:
"Mom and Dad, I'll discuss something with you."
"What's the matter?" Dad asked.
"I'm talking about friends." I continued to speak carefully.
"Don't you have a lot of friends? Every year during the Chinese New Year, there are a lot of friends who come to play. Dad wasn't impressed.
"Not the kind of friends we used to make in the New Year." I'm still cautious.
"What kind of friend is that?" Dad looked at me strangely.
"I said kid dad, why are you so stupid, do you still need to ask and ask? It's got to be a girlfriend! "Or my dear mother knows me, I thought to myself.
"Just worked, and you talked about girlfriends?" Obviously, Dad was upset.
"It's just talking, understanding and understanding." I explained.
"Ah Liu, don't listen to your dad. Mom asks you, are you pretty? "Mom seemed interested, and when Dad saw my mom say this, he was silent.
When my sister heard us talking about my friends, she immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks she was washing and rushed over.
"Pretty." My answer was ambiguous. When I saw my sister coming, I was even more embarrassed, so I said, "What are you talking about, child, go wash the dishes?" ”
"I'll just listen, do I hear that my sister-in-law is beautiful?" My sister is too lazy to leave.
Mom pulled up a stool and said to her sister, "Sit down and listen too." ”
My sister quickly sat up, held her chin, looked at me, and waited for me to say.
I was silent.
"What's your name?" Mom started asking.
"Ke Wanfang." I replied.
"Where do you work?" Mom asked.
"Bureau of Commerce." I answered truthfully.
"How old are you?" Mom asked again.
"A year younger than me." I continued to answer truthfully.
"Who introduced you?" Mom continued to ask.
"Director Wu of our Political Department." My mom and I asked and answered.
"What did her parents do?" Mom asked.
"Her mother is the deputy secretary of the county Youth League Committee, and her father is a cadre of the organs." I replied.
"Do her parents agree?" Mom has so many questions.
"Her parents agreed, I met her parents once at Director Wu's house."
"How's the last name?" Mom continued to ask.
"The surname is quite good, the person is more gentle, and sensible. She has only one daughter in her family. "I said so much in one breath, I think my mother should have no problem.
Who knows if my mom continues to have questions: "How long have you been together?" ”
"It's been a few months." I replied, knowing that it would be a displeasure.
"It's been a few months?! You don't even tell us! You're working! Audacious?! Dad's voice was really full of dissatisfaction.
"Dad, don't scare the child so much, okay? He works now, and he's a people's policeman, so you think he's still at home before. Mom persuaded.
My dearest mother, you are so good to me! I couldn't kiss my mother.
Dad was silent.
"Child, be honest with Mommy, you won't just tell us this when you come back today, will you?" Mom asked.
My mother, my dear mother, my beloved mother, it is really a loss for the country that you are not a people's policeman and a criminal policeman, I sighed in my heart.
I was silent.
"Say, with me here, your dad won't dare to do anything." Obviously, my mom saw my concerns.
"So I said it?" I tentatively asked.
"You say." The younger sister obviously couldn't wait, puffed out her mouth, and looked unhappy.
After a pause, I tentatively spoke again: "You promise I said it, don't you blame me?" and dragged out the word "strange" in his voice.
"This kid, what are you talking about, will your parents lie to you?" Mom was a little upset too.
Seeing that the time was almost up, I looked at my father and then at my mother, and whispered, "My friend asked me to come to her house." ”
"What? Door? Obviously, my words exceeded Dad's expectations, and he raised the decibel level of his voice.
"Kid Dad, if you keep your voice quiet, we can hear it." Mom was a little upset when she saw that Dad reacted so much.
Dad was used to his surname in front of his mother and chose to shut up, and he immediately stopped talking.
"Child, what kind of surname did your friend tell you?" Mom asked.
My mother, my dear mother, my beloved mother, my mother who is a loss to the country if she doesn't become a policeman or a criminal policeman, please, don't be so smart, okay?
"She said, it's a friend, it's the New Year, come to the door to pay a New Year's greeting." I replied stiffly.
"It can't be that simple, right? Is there such a simple thing? Mom clearly didn't believe my answer.
"That's what she said." I saw that my mother didn't believe it, so I said resolutely, and after finishing speaking, I didn't forget to nod and affirm.
"My silly son, your girlfriend is much smarter than you." Mom sighed and shook her head.
"You tell you the truth to your mother, how far has your relationship got?" Mom asked again.
"It's just a relationship between ordinary friends." I replied briskly, this is a good question.
"More than that, right?" Mom shrewdly asked a rhetorical question, obviously not believing my claim.
My face turned red when I brushed the floor, and my little sister left to wash the dishes in a funny way, but her ears were still with us.
"Just hold hands, just hug, just kiss, there really isn't anything else." He lowered his head and stammered.
"Really?" Mom continued to ask, how could Ichifu not look like anything else.
I nodded vigorously, sure that it was gone, and then lowered my head again.
"Son, look up, look like a man, what's there to be shy about talking about girlfriends!" Mom's voice raised.
I immediately obediently raised my head and looked at my mother.
"Son, what do you want to do?" Mom looked at me and said.
"On the first day of the new year, I came to her door." I just said it, and I wasn't afraid of it anyway, but I felt a lot more relaxed after saying it.
"My son is really good! Door! Right! Just go to her door! Although we are peasants, she is a secretary and a state cadre, what are you afraid of?! I have such an excellent son as you, and you are also a state cadre, what are you afraid of?! "Mom cheered me up.
Seeing that my mother's attitude was so resolute, my father also came to the spirit: "How much money do you need, do you say?" ”
"My friend said that it is just a general door-to-door, just buy some cigarettes, alcohol, fruits, and snacks, and wait for the official door-to-door talk." I repeated what Wanfang had said to me.
"Son, it looks like you've really got a good girlfriend." Mom praised.
"She's really good, Director Wu's Aunt Chen praised her. Besides, the person your son has a crush on must be the best. I said happily, and I was a little proud to get my mother's affirmation.
"Dad, don't you take the child's salary home next month?" Mom said to Dad.
"Why?" Dad didn't understand.
"Why else? The child is talking about friends, it must cost money, if we don't give him money, how can we ask him to take his salary home? "Mom is really wise.
"It makes sense, then I don't want him to take it home." Dad agreed with Mom.
I hurriedly replied, "That's not good, my salary still has to be paid to my family." "I spent so much money on my studies, and now that I work, I think I should give the money to my parents.
Mother Zhengse said: "Child, we are poor, you are talking about friends now, her family situation is better than ours, you go out to play, eat a meal or something, it must cost money, can you ask the girl to pay?" When it comes to spending money, it's not a manly style. ”
I'm right to think about it, how can I spend a girl's money! But I can't spend all the money. So, I chose a compromise and said, "Then I'll go home with half my salary every month." ”
"It's still my son who is sensible." Mom touched my head lovingly. "It's okay, we'll save it for you and wait for you to get married."
Seeing that the time was not early, the mother said, "Child, this girlfriend you have is very good, you have to treat her well!" ”
"I will." I replied.
"Then you wash up and go to bed early, I still have something to do with your dad." Mom said.
I chatted with my sister for a while, she pestered me to ask about my girlfriend, I told my sister about Wanfang, and then washed up and went to bed.
