Chapter 55: Attending the Wedding Banquet
Shen Qian officially introduced me at this time, my mother's surname is Zhao, and her name is Zhao Xiu. I looked at Shen Qian's mother, and explained the misunderstanding just now, I said I really didn't know you would come, this is too unexpected, I am flattered to let you cook it yourself. The old man covered his mouth, unable to hide his laughter, and my heart was furious.
After laughing, she turned around and said, It's okay, Qin Yuan, right? Don't worry about it, Auntie is from the past, you are young and vigorous, Auntie understands. The old man slowly began to inquire about my personal situation step by step, such as family members and physical conditions, my financial income, and the process of getting to know Shen Qian.
The old man's tone was warm and relaxed, and she did not investigate the sensitive issues of economic income, housing, and cars in depth. She began to count down her daughter instead: "Our family Sissi, I haven't had a father since I was a child, and I am very independent. In the words of you young people, intellectual and economic independence. But my temper has been spoiled by me, and I am a little arrogant, Qin Yuan, you are a man, you have to take care of ......"
The old man continued earnestly: "Auntie can see that the two of you like each other and have a very harmonious relationship. It's time for you to talk about marriage, but you young people's affairs, Auntie doesn't want to interfere too much, how to decide how to decide that the two of you will discuss and make up your mind. However, Qin Yuan, you are a man, you have to express your attitude in many things, you have to show the bearing that a man should have, don't let Auntie be anxious and uneasy, right? ”
"Yes, yes, Auntie, you're so right. I can give you a statement now, as long as Shen Qian is willing to marry me, I am 100,000 willing. Actually, I should have brought my parents to visit you, but I didn't think it through. You and I should unite a front, and you can help me do Sissi's work......"
That night, I chatted with Shen Qian's mother for a long time, and I was delighted with her kind face and kind attitude. I have a general understanding of Shen Qian's mother's intentions, and my heart is much more steady.
Shen Qian and I took advantage of the May Day holiday to visit Dalian and strolled along the endless and magnificent seashore. Holding a shoe in one hand and interlocking five fingers in the other, listening to the sound of the waves breaking and smelling the fishy smell of the sea floating in the air. I asked her tentatively, Sissi, our days together are not short, why don't we get married? Will you marry me and spend the rest of your life with me? I just wanted to try her mind first, and I didn't have time to prepare the ring yet.
Her eyes were already moist, but she still said arrogantly, is this a marriage proposal? Isn't it the worst thing to do? She didn't wait for me to answer, she jumped into my arms with all her might, and I held her tightly and stepped barefoot on the soft sand, whirling and flying. I was also very excited, I knew her, and even though she didn't say yes, I knew it was a tacit endorsement in her heart. Our hearty laughter was long filled with the orange halo of the setting sun.
Back in Hoh, she followed the dance troupe to perform in other places. Our life, which only lasted for more than two months, came to an end, because the leaders of the regiment had spoken harshly, not to mention the solo position, and if we didn't come back to the troupe, we would be expelled. The marriage plan that we had already begun to discuss was put on hold again and again. Either Shen Qian is not in the local area, or she is back, but I am busy working in the law firm to earn money to support my family.
In the first two years of my middle way, because I was a newcomer, I was ostracized everywhere. On the surface, colleagues in the law firm will not do anything dishonorable, but I have suffered a lot of losses by turning over the tongue of other people's gossip behind my back, so I have suffered from the enemy and offended many people.
I got used to it for a while, just like a palace fight scene in a film and television drama, the mechanism was exhausted, and I was cheated. I am not as talented as Shen Qian in terms of emotional intelligence, and she uses a set of theories that she has realized to help me enlighten. She said that men are not as calculating as women, gossip cannot shake the relationship between colleagues, and only real interests, such as money, are the most important thing. She told me that I have to be willing to scatter my wealth and move around, and dredge up my connections in order to go long-term.
Her advice is really effective, sometimes colleagues let some small profits can be exchanged for short-term peace and peace, and courtesies are still exchanged. I have to admit that I am moving closer to Shen Qian step by step in terms of dealing with the world.
After work, I also have a new understanding, if you have the idea of making real friends, then you are too simple. The needs of the working environment, everyone will inevitably involve each other's interests, and it is difficult to get a simple friendship in this situation, and everyone is nothing more than using each other. If you can be used by others, prove that you are still valuable, and no one cares about you, then you may be an insignificant person. In the last three years of my middle way, I gradually adapted to interpersonal relationships, and my life was more comfortable.
Only for Zhang Zheyi is an exception, because we are college classmates, peer competition will be more or less concerned about the love on campus back then. Zhang Zheyi relied on the 200,000 yuan I funded to make a down payment and finally bought a new house in Hoh, and his girlfriend broke through the obstruction of his father-in-law to tie the knot, and Shen Qian and I naturally had to attend his wedding. His wedding was scheduled for a weekend in his hometown of Jining, and if it weren't for Shen Qian's refusal to get up in bed, maybe we would have been able to catch up with that kid to marry.
We set off from Hohhot at nine o'clock in the morning, and it was more than an hour's drive to Jining on the Beijing-Tibet G6 Expressway.
She chattered all the way, and told me about Zhang Zheyi's rights and wrongs, your college classmate is a strange person, her emotional intelligence is too low, and in the current Internet terms, she is a "straight man of steel" and "a straight man with advanced cancer". With his personality, it is not suitable to be a lawyer.
Zhang Zheyi once lost his temper after drinking in front of Hong Yan, and said a lot of harsh words to me, which I remember vividly. Every time I think about it, I feel my diaphragm responding, and I nod my head again and again. Zhang Zheyi and Shen Qian have met many times in private, and the two have never dealt with each other. I said that when we meet later, I have to save some face for him, after all, today is his big day, right? Shen Qian said that he lacked a string in his brain, and I was not stupid.
I drove the Jetta directly to his parents' house according to Zhang Zhe's position, and when Shen Qian and I arrived, we had already missed the joke of the groom, and the bride had already taken home. His daughter-in-law is a native of Hohshi, and her appearance is not bad, as soon as Zhang Zhe can marry the daughter-in-law of Hoh, he should burn high incense, and the two are a good match.
The little couple greeted us warmly, but the new daughter-in-law was more sensible than Zhang Zheyi, and politely called me brother, saying that they could succeed thanks to my help. She said that Zhang Zheyi spoke straight, and asked me and Shen Qian to bear with me and mention him more in the future.
She was still referring to the matter of buying a wedding house, and I responded politely, where Zhang Zheyi is excellent in all aspects. The relationship between me and Zhang Zheyi is even more heart-to-heart, like brotherhood. I am the same age as Zhang Zhe, but I am really not as old as Zhang Zhe this month, I have to call you sister-in-law.
