Chapter 59: A New Romance
I once asked Yin Hui bluntly, and I said that at least I can say a lot of things like a good wife and mother, an expert at living at home, and the advantages I admire in you. But what do you like about me? In terms of economic conditions, the gap between me and you is too great, and I should have nothing to praise in your eyes, right?
Yin Hui smiled faintly and said, I think you are a person with a sense of justice and responsibility. I don't know, maybe I'm just looking at the right eye. What she said about me, I am personally neutral on this point of view.
The beginning of this relationship was witnessed by my parents, so it felt like a seedling was grown. From the very beginning, I felt that it was not just young men and women who were in love, I seemed to have come with a mission invisibly.
The places where Yin Hui and I went on dates and the items of entertainment were sometimes checked by my mother. Wherever there is a new mall, where there is a place for young people to have fun, my mother will give me detailed recommendations on the first night. I know that my mother has good intentions, and she is very satisfied with Yin Hui's daughter-in-law, which is indirectly conveying to me that I should start a family as soon as possible. Our relationship can be said to be smooth sailing, at the urging of my mother, Yin Hui nodded and made an appointment to meet Yin Changtian, which can be regarded as an official meeting between the parents of both sides.
The place where the parents of both sides met was a newly opened restaurant, and business was booming. It was personally selected by his father, and it was cheap but still lost its identity, and the only fly in the ointment was that it was not high-end enough. After the big fish and meat were served, Yin Changtian began to comment on the restaurant's furnishings and meals.
Yin Changtian's posture is very sufficient, saying how many five-star hotels he has been in and out of, and how many delicacies he has eaten. And I asked my father to my face, is such a place a little shabby? If you are not sincere, don't provoke my daughter. If it weren't for Yin Hui to help cover up and reconcile with it, I am afraid that the meal would be even more embarrassing.
Mother accompanied the smiling face, in front of Yin Changtian, praising Yin Hui for how smart and capable, generous and decent. Yin Changtian took over the conversation and praised his baby daughter from the bottom of his heart: "That's it, my daughter, I don't dare to say that she is outstanding, and it is difficult to find it with a lantern." If your son can catch up with my daughter, he must go to the temple to burn high incense and wish to go. ”
He glanced at me instead, stingy not to comment. To be honest, our family just listened to Yin Hui's brief description of some family situations. We didn't expect Yin Changtian's style and momentum to be so arrogant at that time, of course, Yin Changtian also had enough confidence to put on the score, which was all because we didn't know much about it in advance. Our family was ill-anticipated and ill-prepared for the difficulties.
Yin Changtian didn't agree to this marriage at all in his heart, because his daughter's face did not fully explode. But he is not merciless at all, and he is sneering. Saying to the face that our old Qin family is climbing high branches, it is a question whether we can come up with the bride price money. He said that the real estate he developed left a house for his daughter, which was used as a wedding house, which is much lower than the market price, can your family take out 650,000 yuan?
I didn't have such a strong desire to get married, but now I was completely angered by Yin Changtian, and turned my face on the spot, I said Since you don't look down on our family, it doesn't matter if you don't get married, you can go to whichever one you can afford. Yin Changtian's face was pale, angry, and the scene was extremely embarrassing.
In particular, my parents were very embarrassed, and I really didn't think about them at the time, and I didn't care about their feelings. Now he followed Yin Changtian's wishes, and he was reluctant to give up his baby daughter. A good dinner to discuss marriage was disturbed by me, Yin Hui comforted Yin Changtian, and everyone broke up unhappily.
Afterwards, our family of three summed up the lessons learned and discussed countermeasures. My mother said to me: "There is still a delay in this matter, it mainly depends on Yin Hui's attitude, as long as Yin Hui can do Yin Changtian's work." Your father and I went to give Yin Changtian a soft face in person, and it didn't hurt to apologize. Mom has read countless people for so many years, do you believe Mom, Yin Hui will definitely be a good daughter-in-law in the future. Mom has never looked at it, you can have a snack, far away. Isn't it, wife? ”
The father continued: "I also like Yin Hui, this child, if I don't say anything else, I will rush him to help me come out of this kindness, we have to remember the good of others." Besides, this kid is kind and kind-hearted, he is not too dirty or tired to work, he is simply sharp, and he is a good hand. Yin Changtian's words are ugly, but his words are not rough. We are indeed Gao Pan's family, whether it is a family, besides, far away, your work in the law firm may be able to rely on Yin Changtian in the future. ”
My mother then said to me: "Yuan, my mother is from here, and I can see that Yin Hui is more attentive to you than you are to Yin Hui." She has you in her heart, and her mother doesn't want to miss such a good daughter-in-law. Don't hold your mother back, your mother personally called Yin Hui to tell her. ”
After my parents united in the front, I obediently obeyed the order and accepted the unified deployment of my mother, the commander-in-chief of our family. In this way, I was confused and cooperated with my mother, and I took out all the savings of the law firm for three years to barely scrape together the bride price and gold and silver jewelry.
Yin Hui and I were able to enter the palace of marriage, all relying on our mother's left and right sources, and we worked hard. Mother is not only Yin Hui's mother-in-law, but also the matchmaker for the two of us. The core issue of the marriage room can only be paid by my father-in-law first, counting my personal loan to Yin Changtian, I was also coerced by my mother to set up a note and hand it back to Yin Changtian, so as to win back the face of our old Qin family.
My mind returned to reality, and I stood in front of the window of the living room of a family of three to witness the dawn coming. In the distance, the horizon changed from dark to faint to faintly blooming, and then to red through half the sky. I quietly admired it as I retreated into the dim depths. I thought that when parents send their little girls to school, I will have to take the risk of breaking out of the light.
The girl's mother got up first and prepared a rich breakfast. There were fried roasted wheat, eggs and hot milk, and it was almost half past six, and the man looked at his watch and calmly took the child downstairs. The man drove a Shanghai Volkswagen series car, he and the child got into the car one after the other, and I squatted in the back seat alone. Fortunately, the light was not so bright and strong at the moment, so I adjusted a little to the light.
The traffic in the early morning should be more or less smooth, and the destination is the main campus of Hohhot Experimental Middle School, which is located in Xincheng Street. After the man arrived by car, the little girl slowly got out of the car and entered the school gate, and I followed all the way along the eaves, with great effort and danger to the classroom. The iron sign at the door of the classroom was marked with the words "Class 2 (Class 8)" in junior high school, and I stared at my watch and estimated that I had lost another ten hours or so. A fraction of the early morning hours have been erased, and now I only have 31 days left.
The light in the classroom is better, and the glass area in the room is larger, so I am afraid that if the dazzling light shines in after a while, I will have no way to avoid it. I ducked into the corner of the hallway, a locked room, the lock was rusty, and it should have been left on hold for many years.
