Chapter 68: Talking about Marriage (1)
(Love is like a cup of milk coffee, fragrantly floating on the outside, floating sweetly on the surface, sour inside, sinking bitterly on the bottom, vaguely reflecting you in the coffee.) )
Looking at the smile on my mother's face, I also laughed naturally, the refreshing wind of the night was blowing slowly, the full moon hung above the dark night sky, and in the lifeless night, thousands of families turned off the lights and slept quietly in the dreamland.
A ray of sunshine in the early morning slowly rose from the ground level, the sunlight was not so dazzling, the temperature was just right, Zhang Xiaodie accompanied her parents to hurry to catch the earliest train and then transfer to the bus to arrive in my hometown.
My mother got up early in the morning and went to the vegetable market to buy groceries, preparing a table of delicious food to entertain Xiaodie and Xiaodie's parents, and I drove an Audi from my friend to the bus station early in the morning and waited for them at the bus station.
After a while, Zhang Xiaodie and her parents walked out of the bus station, I saw them from afar, so I opened the car door and got out of the car to greet them, "Uncle and aunt, hello, I'm a little embarrassed to let you sit in the car for so long, it stands to reason that I, the junior, came to see you."
After Xiaodie's mother heard my guilty words, she smiled and said to me: "Xiaoyuan, your uncle can't stay at home when he is in good health, so he has to come to see you and your parents!" So you don't have to feel so guilty, and besides, aunts don't pay attention to these stereotypes, as long as you and Xiaodie are doing well, whether you go to your aunt's house to see your aunt, or your aunt comes to your house to see you, it's all the same."
What Auntie said is that I must treat Xiaodie well, and Xiaodie, who was standing on the side, laughed a little shyly as she spoke.
I led my aunt and uncle and Xiaodie to ride in an Audi I drove from a friend's and drove slowly to the door, my uncle and aunt always liked to look through the car window to see the surrounding streets of the house, after all, for the newcomer, many things feel so fresh, there is a new feeling.
However, these things have always looked so familiar to me who has been rooted here for a long time, and everything in my hometown has always looked so familiar, and there is no such freshness at all.
After a while, I arrived at the gate of the community, I slowly parked the car at the entrance of the community, accompanied my uncle and aunt to the house, uncle and aunt passed through the community and saw many people playing Tai Chi or running back and forth early in the morning to exercise, laughing happily.
When I finally got to the door, I rang the doorbell, and my mother would always shout "here...... Here it is".
When the mother opened the door and saw her uncle and aunt and Xiaodie, she smiled excitedly and said, "Xiaodie, these are your parents!" Fast...... Fast...... Come in".
Xiaodie responded to her mother and said: "Yes, Auntie, my parents accompanied me to come early in the morning, and I hope you will forgive me if I disturb you."
The mother responded to Xiaodie with a smile: "Then what's the reason to disturb or not, you can come, uncle and aunt, it's too late for us to be happy!" ”
When we walked into the house, my mother hurriedly asked Xiaodie and Xiaodie's parents to sit on the sofa, and continued to rush to the kitchen by herself
helped, and the mother smiled and said, "No...... No, I'll just be alone, I can't choke you with the fumes in the kitchen", and after finishing speaking, he shouted to his father and said: "Xiaoyuan and his father, don't take your newspaper all day long, quickly take out candy and melon dates for Xiaodie and Xiaodie's parents to taste."
After hearing what his mother said, his father embarrassedly put down the newspaper in his hand, stood up and took out large and small bags containing candy melons and dates from the room, put these things on the table, and enthusiastically persuaded Xiaodie and Xiaodie's parents to eat some candy melons and dates.
Xiaodie's parents also laughed, grabbed some melons and dates in their hands and ate them, after all, Xiaodie's parents are teachers, and they also know what it means to be a guest, so they are not formal.
After a while, when my mother put the prepared food on the table one by one, the aroma of the food made the room exude a delicious fragrance, which made people feel appetizing after smelling it.
It stands to reason that her mother will shout in a loud voice when she finishes cooking, "Xiaoyuan, Xiaoyuan's father, come to dinner", but today's occasion is not suitable for her to shout like this, so her mother also knows some measure, so she took off her apron and walked to the sofa and took Xiaodie's and Xiaodie's parents' hands and said: "Xiaodie, Xiaodie's parents, come and taste the food I cooked, I don't know if it suits your appetite."
Xiaodie's parents were a little embarrassed by her mother's enthusiastic persuasion, but Xiaodie's parents were also very happy, and their faces often showed a smile, after all, their mother's enthusiasm made them feel a sense of intimacy and easy-going of the villagers.
When Xiaodie and Xiaodie's parents sat on the dining table and chairs, her mother opened a bottle of Coke, filled the cup, and handed it to Xiaodie's parents one by one, Xiaodie's parents also smiled and said thank you, and the father who had been drinking on the table also drank Coke.
The reason why I drink Coke is because there is a local saying "Coke, Coke, Coke", which also sounds a bit good, so whenever a special guest comes to the house, they will pour a full glass of Coke and drink a glass first, and then drink and eat.
The mother's hospitable and busy work alone made Xiaodie's parents feel a little embarrassed, and Xiaodie's parents were not embarrassed to say anything, so they just sat on the dining table and chair and greeted her mother with a smile.
It is said that the wine has passed three rounds and the dishes have five flavors, and the mother said to Xiaodie's parents with a smile before Xiaodie's parents put on chopsticks: "The more I look at this child, the more I like it, you really gave birth to a good daughter!" My family Xiaoyuan can find Xiaodie, that is the blessing of his life, I am more aware of death, and I can't speak, so I don't beat around the bush, I hope Xiaodie's parents will be more forgiving."
Xiaodie's parents responded to her mother and said: "No, no, no, it should be that you have raised a good son, Xiaoyuan's child is sensible, we feel very comfortable and happy when we look at Xiaoyuan's child, Xiaodie can find such a good boyfriend, it is also her creation."
In this way, you and I praised each other, and the father sitting next to me also felt a little funny, and Xiaodie and I watched our parents not forget to praise each other during the meal, which made the two of us young people a little embarrassed.
But watching the family so lively, you say one sentence after another, talking and laughing eating the food made by your mother, you come and I sandwich the food, Xiaodie's parents are also foreign by her mother
The overflowing enthusiasm gives the whole joy to melt together.
After the meal, the family sat on the sofa and chatted casually about the shortcomings of the parents, and Xiaodie's parents would say from time to time: "This time flies so fast!" In the blink of an eye, we are also old, Xiaodie's child has also grown up, and he is about to get married, so I am really happy to be a father and mother! ”
The mother also responded: "Isn't that it, when I think about it, it seems like it happened yesterday, I can't imagine that in the blink of an eye, the children have come to talk about marriage, we are really happy to see them as fathers and mothers to be able to be together in harmony."
As I spoke, my mother talked about how naughty and cute I was when I was a child, and Xiaodie's parents would always laugh after listening to my mother, and then they talked about how sensible Xiaodie was when she was a child, how naughty she was, and so on.
The atmosphere in the room was really lively, only Xiaodie and I felt as if nothing was wrong with us, and we sat on the side and watched their faces full of smiles.
They talked about theirs, we talked about ours, and it didn't take long for my mother to feel that the conversation was a little enjoyable and said: "Xiaodie's parents, you see that since our two families are so in love, Xiaodie and Xiaoyuan's marriage is ...... You see......
Xiaodie's parents looked at each other and then said with a smile from their mouths: "As long as Xiaodie and Xiaoyuan like it, I won't object to going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificate in a while."
When the mother saw that Xiaodie's parents were so talkative, she smiled and said: "Since you have no opinion, then we should help the younger ones to think about it, set a good day, and then call all these relatives and friends over to do something for them, and the parents are also happy."
Xiaodie's parents said in unison: "Okay, okay, then it's decided."
Xiaodie's mother sat on the sofa and took her mother's hand and said: "Xiaoyuan's mother, his father and I have a daughter in our lives, I just hope that Xiaodie will marry into your family, you can be nice to her, if she does something wrong, it doesn't hurt you to talk about her, but don't beat and scold her."
The mother responded sincerely: "Mom Xiaodie, what are you talking about! Since Xiaodie married into our family, I will definitely treat her as if she was my own, not to mention scolding, as long as my Xiaoyuan dares to make Xiaodie angry, you see how I clean up Xiaoyuan, so you can relax your heart! ”
When Xiaodie's mother heard this, she said excitedly, "That's good...... That's good," said Xiaodie's mother, crying.
Xiaodie's father sat aside and saw Xiaodie's mother crying, so he pulled her by the hand and said, "Xiaodie's mother, what are you crying about!" If you are so happy, don't cry anymore, otherwise you will let Xiaoyuan's parents see the joke."
Xiaodie's mother said: "I'm not crying, I'm happy, Xiaodie has finally found a good family, and the mother is finally looking forward to Xiaodie getting married."
Xiaodie's father said, "Yes! Xiaodie is about to marry Xiaoyuan, and there is nothing to give as a father, so I will take out the savings I have saved for so many years as their wedding gift! ”
When my mother and father heard this, they changed their words and said, "Father-in-law, don't ...... No...... How many years have we been preparing the money for Xiaodie and Xiaoyuan's marriage, just waiting for Xiaoyuan to take it out when she gets married! 2k reading network
