3. Get engaged
After the first meeting, Su Man and Xu Jie didn't have much here, and the two parents began to communicate frequently, of course, these were all things that Su Man learned later.
She still goes to and from work as usual, only occasionally receiving calls from Xu Jie.
The call was made by Xu Jie from the oil tanker by landline, once every three or four days, and the two of them didn't know what to say, so Xu Jie told Su Man about some things on their oil tanker.
Suman had never heard of that, and thought it was a novelty, and occasionally asked about something.
Each call is only about ten minutes, and there is really nothing to talk about.
Until a long time later, every time Su Man recalled this incident, he blamed himself for not seeing it clearly earlier, the incompatibility between her and Xu Jie was doomed from the beginning, there was no heartbeat, no common topic, no mutual dependence, how could it be unforgettable.
The second time they met, it was after Xu Jie came back from the ship, he had a five-day holiday, so he came to find Su Man, but Su Man had to go to work during the day and only see each other at night, and the two of them still ate and ate, went shopping, and watched movies.
Then, Xu Jie went to sea again.
After the second meeting, Su Man's parents asked Su Man's opinion, and Su Man said, it's okay, let's deal with it first.
This sentence made her parents happy immediately.
So, without Su Man's knowledge, Su Man and Xu Jie's parents put the wedding date on the agenda.
Because, both of them are not small.
From the first meeting in December, we met again in January, and after a year in February, in March, April, and May, Su Man and Xu Jie got along so lightly, they were not like those couples who were in love, they kept calling and messaging, telling each other that they missed each other, and only occasionally contacted each other and chatted about two innocuous words.
In fact, in Su Man's heart, she really wants a hot love, but she also understands that she has passed that kind of stormy age.
Perhaps, it is not a good thing to find a gentle man like Xu Jie and live an ordinary life.
In April, as soon as Xu Jie and Su Man met, Su Man received a video call from his parents.
On the phone, Suman's parents were very happy to tell her something.
Xu Jie's family proposed to engage her and Xu Jie on May Day.
Suman was stunned.
Betrothal? She and Xu Jieman haven't been together for long.
Su Man proposed, is the engagement too fast, let's talk about it for a while, let her know it again.
When Su's father heard this, he immediately jumped like thunder, yelling and asking Su Man what he wanted!
Suman was very aggrieved, she didn't want how to be, she just didn't want to get engaged so soon!
Is there something wrong?
However, in the eyes of Su's father, this is wrong, Su Man is not filial!
The father and daughter quarreled over the screen.
"Since ancient times, the words of the marriage matchmaker, the order of the parents, the man's family proposed to get engaged, did you refuse?"
"Why can't I refuse!"
"The man proposes to get engaged, what qualifications do you have to refuse!"
"It's not ancient times! Early in the morning perished! ”
Su's father's madness was incomparable, pointing at Su Man and scolding, unfilial daughter!
Su Man was also angry, she was the one who was engaged, why couldn't she refuse!
However, Su Man couldn't twist his arms around his thighs after all.
She couldn't break up with her parents, and she couldn't watch Su's father get angry with Su's mother because Su Man was disobedient, and scolded Su's mother for spoiling Su Man.
She thinks that engagement is not marriage, the right is a formality, and she can withdraw if it is not suitable.
can only say that she was too naïve at that time.
She's too weak!
The most important thing is that she doesn't know what she wants.
The engagement banquet is placed in the first restaurant in the city, and the specifications are very high.
Xu Jie's father is also a well-known figure in the local area, and he used to be in a high position.
Su Man's family invited two tables of relatives, and Xu Jie's family invited one table, a total of three tables, which can be regarded as a witness.
From beginning to end, Su Man and Xu Jie did not participate in all aspects of the engagement.
It's like two puppets, at the mercy of your parents.
But this is also Su Man and Xu Jie's own choice, isn't it?
Su Man often wondered if Xu Jie was like herself, she was forced by the pressure of her parents to reluctantly engage this marriage, but she couldn't ask about it.
She didn't ask Xu Jie if she loved her, she was afraid that if she asked, she would come up with a not very good answer.
However, since Xu Jie chose to date her, at least he likes her!
Isn't it enough to like it? Suman didn't want much.
After the engagement, the relationship between the two seemed to take a step forward, and they lived together.
When Xu Jie comes back from the sea, he will come to Suman to stay here for five days.
And in the past five days, Su Man also made all kinds of delicious food for Xu Jie.
Everything looks so harmonious.
However, Su Man always felt empty in her heart, and Xu Jie seemed to be very far away from her.
Su Man is not a person who can hold things back, she finally opened her mouth to ask about Xu Jie's past.
Many people say that asking about their boyfriend's past is a big taboo and can easily cause disputes.
Su Man didn't actually want to know how Xu Jie and his ex-girlfriends were in love, she just wanted to be closer to Xu Jie, closer to her, so that she would not be so scared.
Xu Jie was slightly unhappy, but he still told Su Man the truth.
From his mouth, Su Man knew that there was once a girl who loved Xu Jie very much, and loved him so much that she was obedient to him, and then the girl went abroad and begged Xu Jie to wait for her for two years, and even called Xu Jie's mother, hoping that she could convince Xu Jie, but Xu Jie was unwilling to wait, because he had never loved her.
Su Man was a little uncomfortable, not because of that girl, but because of Xu Jie, since he didn't love that girl, why did he enjoy her wellness with peace of mind.
There is also a girl who was introduced to him by Xu Jie's family, according to Xu Jie, the girl's family conditions are very good, and she is also very beautiful, and the girl's mother likes Xu Jie very much, and even poured him footwater.
It's a pity that the two of them had to spend four months, and the girl disliked that Xu Jie couldn't make money and couldn't give her the life she wanted, so she proposed to break up.
When Xu Jie mentioned this girl, his face was full of pride, and he did not shy away from talking about the other party's beauty, and when he was excited, he told Su Man that he couldn't help but treat her when he was eating with that girl at home.
When Xu Jie spoke, his whole eyebrows danced.
Su Man looked sluggish, how beautiful should it be?
Su Man didn't know about these, she only understood, Xu Jie likes beautiful women, but she is not.
At that time, Su Man didn't think about it carefully, since Xu Jie likes beautiful women, why did he choose her with a mediocre appearance?
She made a turtle with a shrunken head and told herself: that was just a thing of the past.
It was she who wanted to ask, not Xu Jie who took the initiative to say it.
All she wants is an ordinary life, why should she be angry.
The most important thing is that her parents like Xu Jie very much.
She didn't want to upset her parents.
So be it!
Don't expect too much, and you won't be sad.
