Chapter 33: Bad Idea
Qing's mother said vigorously: "It's not heavy, it's not heavy"! But she was very happy that her son was able to reach out and help.
Putting down the basket, Qing's mother said to Qing Jian: "I came back to have a hot meal, it was all made yesterday, and I ate it when it was hot, and it was very fast!" Qing Jian just smiled and didn't answer!
He wanted to help his mother in the kitchen, but he was kicked out by his mother without saying a word. "Forget it, you better not come, you can't burn this wood stove."
At 9:30, when Mom had put all the food on the table, Dad had already returned from outside! The family sits down to eat!
Maybe it's because it's too cold, just to keep the cold away! Dad drank a big bowl of hot soup before eating! Qing Jian saw that her father had finished drinking the soup and got up to help him serve the meal!
When Qing Jian handed the bowl of steaming rice to her father, the father and son looked at each other and met their eyes! Qing Jian immediately noticed the strangeness in his father's eyes.
Qing's mother kept her head down, chewing her food in small bites, and she seemed to have something to say to Qing Jian, but she had an expression of wanting to say something.
Dad Qing raised his chopsticks, picked up a piece of cooked sausage in the hot red oil hot pot and slowly put it into his mouth, looking thoughtful.
In the end, when he mixed the rice and moved the sausage to his stomach, he still spoke: "Little Jane, you better tell me the truth to your mother, it's a burden for you to hold it like this!" ”
"Yes, Jane, your dad and I are actually for your good, but I don't want you to ......"! Qing's mother echoed Qing's father's words, and the latter sentence she wanted to say but didn't want you to lie to us, but she couldn't say it anyway.
"Mom and Dad, I know you're here to say hello to me. It's just that...... It's just that I'm tired of being urged to get married, so I ......"
When Qing Jian stammered this sentence, although he thought that he might usher in his parents' hot pot soup in the next second, he seemed to have a boulder unloaded in his heart! The pimple that has been accumulated in my heart from years ago to the present has been gotten rid of at once, but I feel extremely relaxed!
One second, two seconds, three seconds, half a minute passed! Qing Jian's expected father splashed at him with a meaty face, the hot pot soup and the mother's chattering curses that she didn't know what to do, and the like, all of them didn't happen.
It's just that when Qing Jian raised his head, he found that the second old man was holding a rice bowl, not eating or picking vegetables, but staring at him deadly!
On the table, the induction cooker was already turned on to the maximum, and the boiling hot pot soup made a beeping sound.
Seeing that the second elder was still looking at his face motionlessly, Qing Jian finally broke down a little. "Mom and Dad, I'm sorry!" He uttered it almost in a choked and hoarse voice.
"Son, your father and I just saw that you were over thirty years old, and hoped that you could have a home, we really didn't mean anything else!" Mother Qing spoke softly!
"Yes, son, we just think that your mother and I are old, and in the near future, we will hardly be able to help you. You've been wandering outside, but you're the only one in our family, and you're going to come back here eventually. How can we live in the countryside without a daughter-in-law? ”
Qing's father and mother sang and harmonized as if they were playing double reeds, how could Qing Jian not know the good intentions of the second elder? It's just that love and marriage are no longer twenty or thirty years ago, and the union of two people is basically just a partnership.
Nowadays, there are so many questions to consider. Therefore, it is even harder to find the right person! The most important thing is that I really don't have much desire to get married!
Once, he wondered if there was something wrong with him? However, when he saw that his friends, colleagues, and other people his size, and even people older than him, remained single, he rejected his idea. Occasionally, in the dead of night and physically and mentally exhausted, Qing Jian would also hope that there would be a woman by her side who loved and cared for her. But that's only for an occasional moment!
"Mom and Dad, I understand!" Qing Jian also understands that her parents' words are not unreasonable, especially in the countryside! Although, every time under the parents' marriage urging offensive, Qing Jian nodded to her parents like an obedient lamb!
Seeing that day after day, year after year, the son didn't care at all about finding a daughter-in-law to marry, and the second elder had no choice but to treat the second elder's bitter words as a deaf ear when he was obedient.
This time, although the son did such a ridiculous thing as spending money to rent a girlfriend to fool the second elder, the second elder was not particularly angry! Even if the son has shown that he was urged to marry and had no choice, he came up with such a bad idea! This proves that in fact, all kinds of soft grinding and hard bubble urging for his son can play a role in some way.
Qing's father and mother are afraid of leaking in their hands and holding them in their mouths for fear of melting! However, they never dote on their son. Therefore, in terms of cultivation and dealing with the world, Qing Jian can be regarded as a man who is quite popular and has a good relationship with women.
However, according to his words: these women are okay to be ordinary friends, if they really want to live together under the same roof, it is almost impossible.
30-year-old Qing Jian, there have been one, two or three women who still have a good impression of him.
However, in the bottom of his heart, he always felt that those women who had a good impression of him were ordinary friends, and it was still good to have dinner, drink, and chat together when they were bored after work! If you really want to think about marrying and going home to live, you need to have children, pass on the ancestry, and stay together for decades, Qing Jian will undoubtedly not be able to do it!
Therefore, for the matter of feelings, Qing Jian's inner world is that she can't find that suitable person, and would rather live alone for the rest of her life than compromise!
This trendy concept, in the eyes of the two elders of the Qing family, is undoubtedly incredible! In the traditional view of them, "men should get married, women should get married" This is the ancestral motto left by the ancestors!
They thought that what was said in the news would never happen to their son. But he didn't expect his kindness to urge marriage, hoping that his son could find a partner he could rely on for life. didn't expect that his son would do such an extreme act as leasing his girlfriend to fool his parents.
Afterwards, the two elders of the Qing family made a deep review, and reviewed that they should not urge their children to get married so urgently, but should give their sons more freedom and choice, and leave their lifelong affairs to their sons to decide!
Therefore, for the oolong incident caused by his son this time, the second elder of the Qing family did not make a big move at all, which Qing Jian never dreamed of!
Since the moment she woke up early in the morning and found that Qin Yang had already left the house, Qing Jian always thought that she would be beaten by her father with a belt or that she would be given a pot of hot red oil hot pot soup by her father when she was eating. Or maybe it's a "chanting-style" verbal offensive to greet the mother with a handful of snot and tears.
He had been worried for more than a day. For more than a day, whenever she met with her parents, Qing Jian always lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.
Whenever he eats, he can't help but fantasize about his parents pouring hot pot soup on his head and body! This year is simply unforgettable for him in his life.
To his astonishment, none of his fears had happened. In the end, it was the parents who comforted themselves that it was just that fate had not arrived, and there was no need to rush to the doctor.
In the face of this sudden change in painting style, rather than the development of the scene that he had predicted with his experience, this made Qing Jian feel as if he had unloaded a thousand pounds of burden from the depths of his heart. All of a sudden, I felt that this Spring Festival holiday was relaxed.
Since then, the farce about renting his girlfriend home for the New Year has come to an end.
It's just that for Qin Yang, Qing Jian often thinks that she still likes her a little bit. It's just that the age gap between the two is indeed a bit unreasonable.
Although Qing Jian knew that her boss's second wife was a full 21 years younger than the boss, the gap between herself and Qin Yang was only ten years old. But he thought, he is himself, and the boss is the boss!
In Qinyang's hometown, the Spring Festival is just a place for children to freely buy toys and snacks that they like but adults don't usually buy with the pocket money given by adults.
For adults, the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year is just a group of three, a group of five together to play poker, play mahjong or chat and other time to pass the time.
In this impoverished but hardly appreciated mountain village, there are no other organized recreational activities or performances.
After staying at home for three days, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Yang bought a train ticket and hurried back to Guancheng! Before leaving, she gave her sister Qin Yue 800 yuan alone, and told her sister to buy herself a dress and buy something she needed!
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Yue, who was already approaching the second semester of the third year of high school, also returned to school and started the hard make-up class of the third year of high school!
Since he didn't buy a ticket in advance, Qin Yang once again only bought a non-seat ticket. She could have gone back later, but she felt the need to come back sooner. After all, it's unlikely that this job will continue at the moment!
Therefore, although her mother Jiang Cuilian repeatedly asked her to stay at home for some more time, she still insisted that the factory was busy, so she hurried back.
However, Jiang Cuilian's side will not start construction before the fifteenth day of the first month! For more than half a month, she couldn't go to work, and not being able to work meant that she couldn't make money. This made her somewhat stunned.
She took advantage of this half a month, and also took advantage of the fact that the rain had not yet come, and cut a lot of pine branches to dry at the door of her house! She calculated that after the sun was exposed and all the pine branches were dried, they could be used as firewood all year round.
Jiang Cuilian still gets up early every day as she does when she goes to work, eats something hastily, and then turns the remaining rice balls into rice balls, and throws them on the red-hot coals to roast them, which becomes a crispy pot steamed bun. She put the pot bun in her pocket and went to the mountain!
When you're hungry, take a few bites of the boiling water you bring with you.
Like ants moving, Jiang Cuilian needs to go back and forth five times a day to chop firewood from the mountains! The rest of the people who chop wood only come back once in the morning when it is cooler.
The women of the same age in the village persuaded her that she didn't have to work so hard, and kindly gave her ideas. said that Qin Yang was already a big girl anyway. Call back, recruit a son-in-law, live with peace of mind, and she will be much easier!
Jiang Cuilian, who has always been kind to people, was very angry when she heard such words, and she couldn't wait to swallow the other party alive: "Although the girl is big, as long as she doesn't do things like murder and arson, I, the old lady, have no right to interfere!" When she said this, she directly choked the other party and couldn't say a word, so she had to leave stupidly!
When she returned home alone at night, she remembered the words of the village woman during the day, and she cried bitterly! She felt guilty and always felt that she was sorry for her eldest daughter Qin Yang. Because of her husband's illness, she had to drop out of school!
She often thinks in her heart that if her husband is alive, if she is more capable of doing it herself, maybe her eldest daughter will not have to drop out of school, she should be a college graduate now, and she will have her own decent job, so she doesn't have to be as tired as she is now to earn more money and only go home once a year but are in a hurry.
