Chapter 59: A Different Life
Lin Yao stiffened, her face full of disbelief.
Old girl?
Who is the old girl she says?
Li Shulan's mother looked at her, her face was worried, "Child Lu~ If you haven't married by the age of twenty, won't you be able to get married~~ah~?" ”
Li Shulan, who was lying on the bed, yelled at her again, "*......%¥!" *—~??!! "Seems to blame her mother for not being able to speak.
Li Shulan's mother also replied to her in dialect, "%¥#??! *~~! "It seems to be arguing with reason, and it is only slightly weaker than Li Shulan in terms of momentum.
Seeing that Li Shulan's mother and daughter are about to quarrel with themselves, and Li Shulan is still a big belly.
Lin Yao was a little unbearable, she hurriedly explained: "Auntie, many of our girls here are still in school in their twenties, and they usually get married around the age of thirty, and they may not get married until they are thirty years old. ”
There was a sudden silence in the room for a few seconds.
Li Shulan's parents all looked at her as if they were aliens, and then, they were extremely sure: "Lu Zi is not married at the age of thirty~ then he will definitely not be able to get married~~~!" ”
Lin Yao was not surprised, she smiled at them and said: "Actually, there are many girls in the city who don't want to get married, get married and have children to wait for their husbands, how can they go to work and make money by themselves, and spend freely and freely?" ”
Li Shulan's mother was stunned, obviously unable to believe that there was such a thing in the world, she said to herself: "Lu people don't get married and have children~son~, is that still Lu ~people~?" ”
Lin Yao pulled the corners of her lips a little embarrassed, and said, "Now that men and women are equal, everyone can choose the way they want to live, isn't that good?" ”
Li Shulan's parents were shocked when they heard this, as if they had been struck by lightning.
The conversation came to an abrupt end.
On the one hand, Li Shulan can't wait to instill some new ideas in them, and on the other hand, Li Shulan's parents may also be worried that their good daughter will be spoiled by her, a maverick and shocking "old girl", and want to brainwash her.
Li Shulan's mother didn't even bother to wash the last few bowls, and the family of three chatted (argued) for a long time behind closed doors.
The first time Lin Yao encountered this situation, she finally realized that she and Li Shulan's parents were really unable to communicate at all.
Lin Yao thought a lot, before, in order to avoid the rush hour of commuting and to squeeze out time to study, she had been going out early and returning late.
She and Li Shulan have lived under the same roof for almost two months, but they have never talked to Shen, and they don't know that Li Shulan's hometown is in such a state.
In fact, Lin Yao also quietly worried about whether Li Shulan was deceived by her boyfriend/husband to come to Hangzhou because she was young and ignorant.
Now it seems that the young and ignorant person is herself!
It turns out that in some places, as in ancient times, girls began to find a partner when they were teenagers, and they got married and had children in their teens.
Then the girl is at home with the children, and her husband is responsible for working hard and earning money to support the family.
Although this kind of life is relatively primitive, it cannot be said that it is necessarily bad.
Imagine this:
A few years later, Lin Yao finally gained a firm foothold in the workplace, and she began to think about her marriage, and Li Shulan and their children could play soy sauce.
Lin Yao is preparing to buy a house with a mortgage, and Li Shulan and they have already built a beautiful big house in the countryside.
Ten or twenty years later, Lin Yao's children are still young, and Li Shulan and their children have already come out to work to make money.
Lin Yao was worried about her children's schooling, and Li Shulan was busy with the marriage of her children.
I can't tell who has a better life, and I don't know who will envy whom more.
Like Li Shulan, she has been taken care of by her parents since she was a child, and she has been living under her husband's wing since she was a teenager. It is much more comfortable than Lin Yao, a rookie who left his parents to study in other places when he was a teenager, entered the workplace in his twenties, and had to face the wind and rain alone.
But Lin Yao has her own career through hard work, and she has also enriched her life experience.
Li Shulan listens to her parents when she is at home, to her husband after she gets married, and to her children when she is old.
And every decision Lin Yao makes and every step she takes is her own choice!
Lin Yao and Li Shulan live in the same world, but they have two completely different lives!
If Lin Yao is allowed to choose again, she will still choose her own life and not be attached to anyone!
******
"Tuk tuk tuk", Lin Yao's door was knocked again.
Outside the door, Li Shulan cautiously asked, "Sister Lin, can I come in?" ”
Lin Yao's room was small, and she only walked a few steps to the door, she opened the door and welcomed Li Shulan into the house.
Li Shulan's expression was a little unnatural, and she didn't seem to know how to say it, "Sister Lin, that, my mother, she has lived in the countryside all her life, this is the first time she has gone out, she doesn't understand anything, don't take her words to heart." ”
Lin Yao leaned against the wall and looked at her with a smile, "It's nothing, it's really just a casual chat." "Let's talk about local characteristics and customs.
"I hear it all." Li Shulan stroked her hair quite embarrassedly, and said sincerely: "My mother, she is a bit self-righteous, I have already told her, and I apologize to you for her!" ”
Lin Yao said disapprerovingly: "I'm really fine, you don't need to come to me to talk to me about this." ”
"You must be angry, aren't you?" Li Shulan eagerly proposed: "In this way, I'll let her cook more delicious food in the evening and apologize to you in person, okay?" ”
Regarding Li Shulan's mother's words, Lin Yao was mainly surprised, not angry or otherwise.
They are just roommates, Li Shulan has her life, Lin Yao also has her own life, and they don't have much intersection with each other.
She will not interfere in Li Shulan's life, and Li Shulan's parents will not interfere with her.
If everyone seeks common ground while reserving differences, won't there be nothing left?
"No, no!" Lin Yao smiled and waved her hand, "It's nothing at all, it's just small talk, I won't be angry, really, not angry at all!" I have a date in the evening, so I'm afraid I can't eat with you. ”
Li Shulan's food is indeed very appetizing to Lin Yao, but as long as she thinks about it, the dispute between the three of them over her is quite embarrassing, and she can't go to eat anymore.
Li Shulan is a sentimental pregnant woman, and when she heard Lin Yao say this, her eyes immediately turned red, and she choked up: "Lin ~ sister ~, yes ~ no ~ ~ ... ”
Why do you cry?
Lin Yao patted Li Shulan's shoulder and said softly: "You see that you are going to be a mother, why are you still like a child?" You know, I'm a few years older than you, and I know that your mother said that to me with good intentions, so how can I be angry because of these words? I really have an appointment. ”
Lin Yao knew in her heart that her relationship with Li Shulan's family would most likely become more awkward in the future.
It is not easy for Li Shulan's parents to come out, if she continues to be caught in the middle of their family and make their family discordant, it will be too undeserved!
So, she plans to go to Jiang Mingshu this weekend!
