Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Family of Origin

It is said that parents are the teachers of children for life, and the formation of a person's character has a great relationship with the family environment. Lan Tian was born in the county town of Shandong, his mother is a middle school teacher, and his father is an authentic farmer. At that time, there was no love at all, and young men and women reached the marriageable age, and after being matched, they hurriedly got married and had children.

The mother is strong and spicy, and the father is honest, fundamentally speaking, the two are not suitable. From childhood to adulthood, in the impression of the blue sky, the home is always in flames. Mother often hangs on her lips: How did I marry you! At this time, my father always bowed his head and kept silent, smoking one cigarette after another, and when he was in a hurry, he slammed the door and did not come home for several days......

Little Blue Sky would shrink aside tremblingly whenever his parents quarreled. He didn't dare to cry, let alone make trouble, and the consequence of his resistance was that his mother pulled his ears and punished him, and he was not allowed to eat or rest, and he was really afraid of that feeling.

Slowly made him form an introverted and sensitive personality, and when he was in school, he was the good kid who didn't say much and couldn't remember the teacher's name; After work, he is the low-level employee who only promises and gets by. His "incompetence" is as incompetent as his father in the eyes of his mother, and since work, Lan Tian rarely comes home, because his mother does not want to see two "wrecks" at the same time.

On Thursday, Lan Tian was at work, and his mother suddenly called: "Tian'er, this Saturday, your father and I will go to Beijing to see you, and you will arrive in the morning, you can pick us up at the train station." Lan Tian was stunned and didn't reply for a long time. The mother seemed to sense his hesitation on the other end of the phone, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why, your wings are hard now, and you look down on us, don't you?" Lan Tian hurriedly said: "No, no, Mom, you think too much, I am very happy that you are here, so I will book a hotel for you after work." ”

The mother sighed and said unhappily: "You child is getting more and more extravagant, what kind of hotel you book, just make up for the night where you live." Lan Tian said helplessly: "Mom, we are only forty square meters, one bedroom, how can we live for the four of us." ”

The mother snorted coldly and said, "Why can't you live in forty square meters?" Can't you live or is your wife strict? You tell me the truth, is it that Yunduo is unwilling, if she is unwilling, your father and I will not go. Our family doesn't dare to have such a daughter-in-law. "Mother has always disliked clouds, she often advises Lan Tian to find a girl with good conditions, Yunduo's family conditions are average, I'm afraid it won't help too much.

Lan Tian was extremely disgusted with his mother's reality and power, but he didn't dare to express his thoughts, he comforted himself, anyway, he would live in Beijing in the future, and his parents would not interfere too much.

After work, Lan Tian told Yun Duo about his parents' coming to Beijing, and Yun Duo said happily: "Great, I miss my uncle and aunt too, I'll go buy them some gifts tomorrow." By the way, is the hotel booked? Lan Tian lowered his head and didn't speak, and the clouds knew at a glance that he had something on his mind. She said softly: "I know you are busy with work, I will go to book a hotel for my uncle and aunt, you can rest assured." Lan Tian looked at the clouds gratefully, and said guiltily, "Wife, they... They don't live in hotels, they have to stay in our house... I tried to persuade for a long time, but my mom just couldn't make sense..."

"What? Live here? How is this possible, we both live a bit cramped, let alone add them. Yun Duo couldn't figure it out, obviously he paid for them to make their two elders live more comfortably, but they wanted to squeeze into the rental house, which was really incomprehensible. Lan Tian saw the embarrassment of the clouds, and he whispered: "Wife, I'll go and tell them, don't come if you don't agree to stay in the hotel, don't be angry about this matter." Older people, more extreme ideas. ”

Yun Duo stirred the food in the bowl with chopsticks, and his heart was very entangled. She didn't want to embarrass the blue sky, but she didn't want to embarrass herself. After weighing it repeatedly, Yun Duo said with a smile: "Take your uncle and aunt back to our house, anyway, they won't be able to stay for a few days, and it's rare for the two of them to come to Beijing once." Lan Tian looked at the clouds in disbelief, and he said happily: "Wife, are you telling the truth?" Did I hear me right? The cloud nodded, and the blue sky hugged the cloud with emotion, and his heart was filled with unprecedented happiness.

"In this Beijing, there are many people and cars, and they are irritable to watch. Tian'er, if you listen to your mother, let's go back to your hometown as soon as possible. As soon as she got out of the train station, Lantian Mom began to chatter and complain about all kinds of things that were wrong in Beijing. Lan Tian's father on the side looked excitedly at the surrounding high-rise buildings, and rarely bumped into Lan Tian's mother: "I think Beijing is good, look at it, this building, this shopping mall, our son will be able to make achievements here!" "You know the, big cities are so bastard? I didn't read the news and said, Beipiao is the most pitiful, no house or car, working overtime every day, recognize clearly, your son is a Beipiao! ”

Listening to the quarrel between the two, Lan Tian couldn't help but have a headache, and he remembered countless nights in his childhood, huddled in the quilt and shivering..."Mom, Dad, I'll take you to eat first, and we can walk around after eating." Lan Tian said with a smiling face. By the way, why didn't the clouds come with you today? Lan Tian's mother asked a little angrily. Oh, she's working overtime today and coming back in the evening. By the way, Mom, Yun Duo was happy to hear that you were coming, and she prepared a gift for you, she is really a very good girl..."

"Gotta have it, don't say nice things about her. That girl is just like you, a stuffy gourd, you picked it yourself, what more can I say? Mother smiled and glanced at the blue sky. Lan Tian hugged her mother's shoulders as if flattering, it seems that she has acquiesced in her heart to Yun Duo, the prospective daughter-in-law, a rare moment of relaxation in the family, Lan Tian feels comfortable and comfortable for a long time.

In the evening, the clouds hurried home with carefully prepared gifts. Her heart is both nervous and excited, she hopes to use this opportunity to close the distance between each other and get the approval of Lan Tian's parents. Entering the house, Lantian Ma was chopping vegetables in the kitchen, and Yun Duo greeted enthusiastically: "Auntie, hello, I'm sorry I'm coming back late, I'll help you cook in a while." Lantian Ma glanced at her lightly, sneered, and said: "A girl, she is so busy every day, busier than us, and she doesn't know who is in charge." Yun Duo heard her voice, hurriedly put down her things, tied her apron, and began to have dinner with Lan Tian's mother.

At the beginning of the lanterns, a family of four sat together, Lan Tian took out the gift of the clouds, and said to his parents ostentatiously: "Mom, look at the skirt that the clouds bought for you, it is still a famous brand, more than 500 yuan!" Dad, taste the wine that the clouds brought you, this smell, smell authentic! Lan Tian's father said with a smile: "Yunduo, you broke the bill, uncle and aunt thank you together." Yun Duo said shyly: "It's okay uncle, this is a piece of my heart, I hope you and your aunt can like it." ”

Lan Tian's father looked at Lan Tian's mother and didn't react, and touched her arm with his hand, Lan Tian's mother lowered her eyelids and said coldly: "With this money, why don't you buy more good things for my son to make up for it, you see, what has he lost weight?" ”

At this time, the atmosphere at the dinner table fell into embarrassment, Lan Tian picked up a chicken leg, exaggeratedly put it into his mouth, and said in an exaggerated manner: "Mom, you see that I can feed myself myself, and the clouds have never treated me badly." Yun Duo also asked with a smiling face: "Auntie, since you are here, let's have a good time." How many days are you and your uncle going to spend in Beijing? ”

Originally, it was unintentional, but Lan Tian's mother suddenly became angry, she slammed the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and asked sharply: "What do you mean, are you driving us away?!" ”
