XXVIII. Patriarchy

In our generation after the 80s, many families still have a serious patriarchal mentality. I heard that some southern provinces are still like this, giving birth to a girl and continuing to give birth until a boy is born.

I don't want to criticize, I know that this is a bad phenomenon, but no one can put an end to it. The traces left by history have to be weathered slowly over time.

Ma Qin's mother soon returned, and we each sat at a small table in the hall, under which was a small stove.

My uncle was cooking, and the smell wafted from time to time, but I was trembling. Auntie's eyes are lethal, don't stare at me like this, okay?

"Yu Xi hasn't graduated yet, has she?" She asked.

"It's a senior."

"Did your parents buy the car?"

"You can make money by reading, depending on the way. My mother gave birth to me and raised me so hard, I want to make more money so that she can live in her old age! "Ma Qin told me not to say that the car belongs to someone else.

Avoid answering and reassure yourself that this shouldn't be a lie. Hearing Ma Qin say that Ma Rui was very naughty, I deliberately changed the topic and tried to gain some favor.

"It would be nice if Ma Rui was as sensible as you, you can help teach him more." Sure enough, it worked, and the aunt switched from the new car to the direction of filial piety.

I shook my head and said, "Ma Rui is as shrewd as you are, and he will definitely be much better than me in the future." Looking at his words and deeds, although he is playful, he can also see that he is very affectionate, and he will definitely be very filial in the future! ”

These words are pale and completely nonsense, so you can see these things in such a little time? Apparently not.

My aunt was happy and asked me about my plans for the future.

Plan? I'm confused, I can't answer so bluntly.

"Auntie, don't blame me for being numb, I'm so lucky to be able to get together with Ma Qin. Whether it's going to work or doing business in the future, I want to give her the happiness I can. ”

"I'll work hard, but chances are also important. I can't answer your question right now, because plans don't keep up with changes! ”

I want to do something for Ma Qin and improve her status in the family. As long as I can make her mother like me, it will naturally be half the battle.

My aunt handed me a pack of cigarettes and said, "I smell the smoke on your body before, don't be restrained, smoke if you want!" ”

I took the cigarette and didn't open it, but said, "It's warm and not ventilated, and smoking is not good for your health." I'm not that addicted to cigarettes, I smoke occasionally, and I can socialize. ”

He also said, "Uncle is busy alone, I'll go and fight and talk to my uncle!" "I'm really a little scared, my aunt's eyes are too keen, I'm afraid of saying the wrong thing.

"You kid, how can you still let you do it, you are talking to Qinqin here, I'll go." Auntie said with a smile.

After my aunt left, I took a long breath again, it was really tormenting. I think that when I really see my mother-in-law, I should be more panicked.

Ma Qin took my hand and said, "Yu Xi, thank you!" ”

With my other hand, I patted her hand holding mine: "You're welcome, I'll do my best, I don't know how long I can hide it." ”

Ma Qin's tears were about to come out again: "Is it impossible for us? ”

Is it possible? If you really have an idea, you will cut ties with your old boyfriend. But you don't, you need money, a career, and his help in your heart. And I, at this time, I can't give you anything.

I said, "I'll talk about it later." Get through this first, and then let it be. ”

This is very perfunctory, maybe I am very repulsive to be a junior in my heart.

Before the meal was served, Ma Rui returned.

"Brother, the car is really good, but it consumes a bit of fuel. I'll see if I can convince my mom to go play with you during the winter vacation! "He gave me the key.

"You keep my phone and call me then." It's okay to cope with a high school student.

After waiting for more than an hour, it was completely dark. Seven dishes plus one soup, and two large bottles of hard wine.

Am I flattered and like me so much? I shouldn't like it so much, maybe because Ma Qin's reputation is bad.

During the meal, I try to ask as many questions myself as possible to avoid being asked. Such as the management of the supermarket, the system of the driving school, etc., and then pointed out that I would go back tomorrow.

Auntie was unhappy: "Just come and leave?" No, you can't leave without playing for three or four days. ”

The uncle answered: "That's it, is the food I made not delicious?" ”

I hurriedly raised my glass to my uncle and winked at Ma Rui.

"Uncle, the food is very delicious, but I don't have much food myself. I do have something to go back tomorrow, and this time I came mainly to think of Ma Qin. ”

Ma Rui also said: "Brother Xi is really busy, and his friend is still waiting in the city." It's going to graduate, it should be very busy, right, Brother Xi! ”

I nodded and said to my aunt, "Auntie, the days will be long!" You are so good, how can I be willing to leave, there is indeed something that cannot be delayed! ”

"Okay, then I'll have to finish lunch tomorrow before leaving!"

In the midst of fear, it finally ended peacefully.

Originally, Ma Qin lived on the second floor, and Ma Rui lived on the third floor alone. Now Ma Qin sleeps in Ma Rui's room, and I also live in the guest room on the third floor.

It's intentional, I know.

Ma Qin secretly came to my room in the middle of the night, and after the secret fish was boiling, she went back to the room.

I had insomnia and thought about getting married.

Before you grow up, you have reached the age of marriage, can you carry a family? Can you love your wife and children? Can you have the responsibility to give everything?

It's all a question mark.

The last question is, I'm single. Looking back with my eyes closed, there are indeed many women, but none of them can make me feel for Zhang Yue.

began to find contradictions again, and his feelings for Zhang Yue came from the longevity of time.

The beginning with Zhang Yue was not a normal like, chasing, and courtship. Just because on her birthday, I kissed her, and it was when both parties were drunk.

In the spirit of a responsible attitude, they came and went together.

I woke up very early the next day, just like I read early in high school. People are sleepy and have to wake up.

In other people's homes, sleeping in a lazy bed is particularly rude, and it is also very sad.

"Yu Xi, why don't you sleep more? Why do you get up so early, I'm going to the street to buy and come back early. "I met my uncle.

Slept late and tired. I want to sleep more, but I don't dare.

I opened my eyes and said, "Get used to it! Uncle, I'll go with you! ”

"Okay, let's go!"

Their house is a few hundred meters away from the market, just a short walk away.

"Yu Xi, this kid Qinqin looks cheerful to outsiders, but he actually has low self-esteem."

"It's mainly to blame her mother, she values Ma Rui too much, and completely ignores Qinqin!"

"You'll feel more sorry for her in the future! She is also stubborn and competitive, so you have to take care of it! Uncle said.

This, the culprit is you, and the strict control of your wife has led to this. As long as he has a little right to speak, Ma Qin will not be reduced to this. Perhaps, this is also the scene, in fact, the uncle himself is also very patriarchal.

When I bought it early, my aunt and Ma Qin had already gotten up.

Ma Qin's panda eyes are particularly serious, and it can be seen that she has been called up.

The aunt said to the uncle, "How can you let Yu Xi go and buy us breakfast!" Then he said to me, "You don't sleep much, look at Ma Rui, sleep enough, and grow strong." ”

"I'm used to it, and I'm a little bit bad at the bed! I can also walk around with my uncle to buy breakfast, and I am familiar with it. ”

I feel more and more sorry for Ma Qin.

I think the reason for staying with me is probably to let the neighbors see that Ma Qin has a boyfriend.

Along the way, without waiting for others to ask, my uncle himself introduced me everywhere to acquaintances. I was in the clouds all the way, I didn't understand the YC dialect, and my language talent was too poor.

The lunch meal was equally hearty, and I didn't dare to drink. After drinking, I was also very restrained last night.

There are many mountains here, and there are many winding mountain roads. Others don't know about me, but Ma Qin does, and he doesn't know how to drive. So with me, my uncle and aunt naturally would not object.

"Actually, I wish you could stay a few more days!" Ma Qin said.

I said, "Take care of yourself, and don't worry too much about anything else." If you are good, you are really good. ”

I don't know what I'm talking about, just from her point of view. If I were a woman, if I were her, maybe I would do something desperately, even if it is against morality.

It's just that there are so many unfortunate people in this world! How happy she is compared to people who have no life. To comfort her, that's all I can say.

After Ma Qin left, Lu Sha kept asking me what I was doing? Did you meet your parents?

Of course, I can't admit it, it's just a show. I asked, "Is your time set?" ”

Lu Sha replied, "Look at him, there are many things that have not been done." ”

A lot of things? It's nothing more than a red envelope or something. At that time, we didn't have as much money there as we do now, and we usually had tens of thousands of dollars for a family. Some don't even need a bonus or anything, get a certificate, a banquet, and you're done.

Even so, many customs and etiquette still have to be implemented and perfected.

Tian Li said: "Alas, my mother has not fully recovered, and my eldest brother is too honest. When the time comes, I'll have to trouble a few of your brothers, go over a few days in advance, and help me. ”

I said, "When your date is set, I will naturally go back early." Now, please don't talk, look ahead, and drive the car. After saying that, he snatched his phone.

Fortunately, Lu Sha didn't see it, and Lili was messaging him.

I glared at Tian Li and directly deleted the text message, as well as the phone number.

The content of the text message is explicit and inappropriate for children. The point is, when is this? I have to help him put an end to it completely, once Lu Sha finds out, everything will be over.

I think I've started taking wedding photos, Lu Sha's family must know that she is pregnant, so they will allow such a hurry to get married. If the east window incident happens, Tian Li will definitely be unlucky.

Seeing Tian Li's unhappy face, I said to the windshield wiper: "Li, there is not much that a brother can do, everything depends on you in the end!" ”

Lu Sha in the back probably listened inexplicably, and interjected and asked, "What?" You two have an awkward relationship? ”

I smiled back: "When have you ever seen me having an awkward fight with him, don't think about it." ”
