Chapter 42: The Definition of Happiness
The family of three all remained silent tacitly, as if they were brewing some better way to communicate.
After eating, Xu Su cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Jia Anzheng sat on the sofa and read the newspaper.
Jia Ru's heart was empty, looking at her parents' graying hair, thinking about the story of the two of them coming to this point, and she also understood.
Walking forward, Jia Ru took the chopsticks in Xu Su's hand, "Mom, I'll come." ”
Xu Su was startled, but still put the dishes and chopsticks in Jia Ru's hand.
Jia Anzheng smiled when he saw this, did not speak, and continued to bury his head in the newspaper to enjoy his world.
In the kitchen, Jia Ru was cleaning up in an orderly manner, and Xu Su was standing at the door and watching quietly.
After cleaning up, Xu Sucai spoke: "Xiaoru, come to my room, our mother and daughter haven't talked for a long time." ”
Jia Ru nodded and followed.
Behind the newspaper, Jia Anzheng's face was as bright as a spring flower, the mother and daughter could finally ease up, and they didn't have to be caught between their wives and daughters.
Mother and daughter sat on the bed, looking at each other.
Xu Su didn't want to speak first, for fear that he would be wrong, so he would be annoyed by this day.
"Mom, thank you." Jia Ru's eyes were a little sour, and she thanked her.
Xu Su also said earnestly: "Xiaoru, you also know that mom is for your good." ”
Jia Ru nodded and did not answer.
"Tell me about your boyfriend, let Mom know a little more." Xu Su said with a smile.
Jia Ru felt like he had a delusion, and forced down the unknown feelings in his heart: "His name is Deng He, an oil prospector of the Lailing Petroleum Exploration Company. He and I met him when we first came to Lailing City to deal with the environmental problem, and it was not long before Huang Zhaosheng, and it was only one morning. ”
Jia Ru thought for a while and continued: "It's only one day at most, but Mom, you have to believe me, Deng He is really reliable, no matter how much he talks about, he is really good." ”
Jia Ru didn't know how to talk about it, because she couldn't mention the matter of biological samples, so she couldn't figure it out for a while.
Xu Su looked at his daughter with a look of affirmation, and he was also a lot relieved, but the hanging stone couldn't be put down.
"Xiaoru, if you really don't know how to talk about it, can you tell me how this Deng He is better than Zhaosheng? To be honest, Mom is indeed biased towards Zhaosheng in her heart, because Mom doesn't know what you think in your heart, so she can only rely on her own feelings. ”
Jia Ru lowered her head and listened to Xu Su's speech, feeling that she had finally received an understanding and a very comfortable feeling.
"In that case, I don't like to evaluate others very much, just a person who likes to be clever and accompanies me, and I really like the latter, that is, Deng He."
Xu Su nodded in understanding.
Jia Ru continued: "I am no longer an innocent little girl, I like someone, I need time, an opportunity, I need companionship and touching. Mom, do you understand what I'm saying? ”
Xu Su continued to nod, tears were already rolling in her eyes, her daughter had actually been wronged, and she was still murdering her.
Jia Ru showed a sweet smile and said to Xu Su: "Mom, I have always known that you are for my good, whether it is work or love." After saying this, Jia Ru sniffled and continued: "It's also my fault, I never told you what I really thought. ”
Xu Su counted his nose and wanted to cry a little, but he held back.
She patted Jia Ru on the back and said slowly, "Mom and Dad just want you to be happy." ”
"But, Mom. The happiness you are talking about may still be lacking in me, for example, in terms of looking at people, Huang Zhaosheng can perform all the good in front of you, but in front of me, it will be more exposed. He is a hypocrisy, and time will tell you that. ”
"What about Deng He?" Xu Su couldn't help but ask, she was very curious about what kind of magic this man who made her daughter like her daughter wholeheartedly.
"He is sincere, he makes mistakes and admits mistakes, he thinks about me when he is in danger, he thinks about everything and takes into account my feelings. Mom, I identify him. Jia Ru looked at Xu Su with certainty.
Xu Su responded with a worried look, because Jia Ru's answer was still too ethereal.
Jia Ru felt her mother's worries, but she really had a hard time saying about the biological samples.
If I tell my parents about this, I'm afraid I will also be implicated.
Jia Ru swallowed, "Mom, I can't tell you exactly why I think of this man so much, you just need to remember that his character can stand the test of time." All the problems that can be solved in time, we don't have to rely on explanations to solve. ”
Xu Su nodded a little approvingly, and the relationship between the mother and daughter seemed to have eased at this moment.
Jia Ru continued: "When it comes to work, not everyone has to choose a career with a high salary that makes people look at it at a glance, and it is also a good thing to be able to do what you like and get benefits from it, and play it in a formal way. So far, your daughter has solved three environmental pollution cases in Lailing City. Therefore, work is dead, people are alive, as long as it is gold, it will shine wherever it is, and my daughter will not let you down. ”
Xu Su still listened fixedly and didn't speak.
From Jia Ru to the present, Xu Su and Jia Anzheng have never had a good chat with her anymore.
The daughter's mind is much more mature than when she was a little girl before, and it seems that she is worried too much, and if her daughter wants to do it, let her do it boldly.
"Xiaoru, mom is not the kind of person who is rigid and not enlightened, she can understand your thoughts, but she is afraid that you will not have a good future and waste all your good time. After all, your mother and I are also people of your age. ”
Jia Ru looked at Xu Su's smiling appearance, and felt more and more relaxed, and the tears that had just fallen inadvertently on her cheeks had dried.
"Mom, don't worry, your daughter has never let you down since she was a child, and this time is no exception, and she won't let you down in the future."
Xu Su smiled and patted Jia Ru's hand and said, "My daughter has grown up, her wings are stiff, and her mother can't keep you in a cage anymore." ”
Jia Ru laughed and joked: "Mom, what are you talking about?" Is your daughter the kind of person who doesn't have a home when her wings are stiff? It's not that I almost come back every time I am called home for dinner, and renting a bachelor apartment at the institute is not because I am annoyed with you, but because it is more convenient for work. ”
Speaking of this, Jia Ru lowered her head, to be honest, she was a little weak in saying this, and it seemed that she would have to go home more often to see her parents in the future.
Mom and Dad's strange words are just a violent loving coquettishness, and I always want to come home often to see and tell them more about what I really think in my heart.
Thinking of this, Jia Ru smiled.
"Mom, I'm going back over there tonight, and it's convenient to tell Deng He about coming to see you tomorrow." Jia Ru suddenly got up and explained.
Xu Su was a little reluctant, but he just said: "Actually, you don't have to be in such a hurry, you haven't been together for long, get along with two more people, and get to know each other better." Just come when you have time. ”
Jia Ru let out a smile from her heart, "Thank you, Mom." ”
