During dinner, small talk is indispensable.

So many relatives, there were two tables of people in the living room and dining room.

Wang Yan sat with the same juniors. Her little niece was there, and her aunt and sister-in-law sat at their table with their children, and a few female elders sat at this table.

In the dining room, the men were laughing, drinking, pouring and toasting.

A cartoon was playing in the living room, and the little niece was sitting on the sofa, and after a while she stood up and jumped.

The topic has shifted from the stock market, housing market, medical insurance and social security to employment.

The sound of conversation in the dining room was clearly heard in the living room.

Wang Yan's younger siblings are all in college, and there is a nephew in high school, so it naturally became the center of the conversation.

“…… Foreign trade is difficult to do now. Small companies are no longer working. Now it's all on the Internet, and you have to go online to buy things. ”

"That's when you should let that kid learn how to use computers."

"He learned."

"Huh? Chubby is learning computers? ”

"Yes, I learned the computer, and then this kid didn't fight for himself, obviously he entered the computer company, he quit and went to be a salesman. College tuition is all wasted. ”

"Sales are pretty good, too."

"What's that...... Your son should choose a better major in the college entrance examination. It's really good to learn computers and learn the Internet. ”

"He didn't do well in the science exam, and he studied literature."

"What kind of liberal arts do boys study?"

"If you can't pass the physical chemistry test, what can I do?"

"Wang Yan seems to be studying science, right?"

"What is Wang Yan doing now? Foreign companies, right? ”

"That's right, working in a company in country A."

"It's too hard for a little girl to work in a foreign company. If you find a boyfriend, let's take the civil service exam. It's not bad to get a teacher's certificate. ”

"She's still like a child......"

"Lalala~~Lalala~~" The little niece sang carefree along with the ending song of the cartoon.

"Eat, eat this mouthful." Wang Yan's aunt said.

There was little conversation at the living room table, and a few young people were eating and watching children's cartoon shows on TV absentmindedly. Someone took out their phone and ate into it.

Wang Yan's heart was quite calm, as if he was used to hearing such words.

After dinner, several young people returned to Wang Yan's room and began to play cards again, and did not talk much.

At eight or nine o'clock, when there was more noise outside, and it was time to go home at the end of the day, a few people stood up and stretched their waists and said goodbye to each other.

Wang Yan followed his parents to give them away, with a formulaic smile on his face.

Everyone left, and her smile disappeared immediately.

Wang Yan's parents cleaned up the messy room.

Wang Yan's mother complained, "You are really true. Obediently ask for a toy, what's wrong with you being an aunt to her? Why are you so stingy? ”

Wang Yan didn't say a word, and finally felt a little irritable in his heart.

The toys that my mother said were not things that could be bought casually in a toy store, and if the price of more than 500 yuan was known to these elders, I guess there would be more to say.

She lowered her head and swept up the melon seed shells on the ground.

"Your aunt introduced you to someone, and you didn't agree. It's just to talk to people, forget if it's not good, and don't force you to do anything. You don't like it in school, you don't like it in the unit, and you don't want to introduce you, when will you get married? I'm going to be thirty years old. As soon as a woman is over thirty, she is worthless, and she can't find a good man. Good men are picked up. What are you going to do then? Looking for a crooked melon and cracked dates? ”

"Aren't I fine now? The salary is high, the work can be done, and there is not much overtime. What's there to worry about? Wang Yan couldn't help but say.

"You're good now. How many years from now? When you're in your thirties, we're in our sixties and seventies, and we're sick, who's going to take care of you? Are you busy alone? If you want to get married and have another child in your thirties and forties, the quality of the child is not good. We won't have the strength to help you take care of the child, and you won't have the strength to take care of the child yourself. Wang Yan's mother was so honest that she suddenly thought about her life decades later.

Wang Yan opened his mouth and did not refute again.

This is the difference in the concept of people in different eras, and it cannot be refuted in one or two sentences.

Wang Yan didn't speak, her parents said a few words before stopping.

Wang Yan returned to the bedroom, looking at the cabinets full of things, and his mood gradually relaxed.

It's as if the hard armor has been taken off, revealing the soft inside.

Wang Yan suddenly felt sad and aggrieved.

She opened the cabinet and stroked one figure after another, and her mood gradually improved.

The scene of the dream has changed.

I saw those relatives of Wang Yan again.

Looking at them dressed, it seems that it is the New Year.

Wang Yan was in the living room, being dragged and chatting.

Boom!

Whoa!

Wang Yan turned his head suddenly, his heart locked, and he rushed into his room at once.

The room was a mess.

Her little niece stood on a chair, holding the cute little figure in a panda suit in her hand, looking at the figurines all over the floor with a blank expression.

"Ouch! Obediently, have you ever encountered it? Wang Yan's cousin asked nervously, checking on her daughter's condition.

Wang Yan's mother also asked, and said with a smile: "We are so smart that we can move chairs and carry things." ”

"She's doing the same at home, and her eyes can't relax for a moment. As soon as I didn't look at it, I turned over the cabinet. Wang Yan's cousin-in-law said, as if she was complaining, but there was a smile on her face.

"Look at it! Broke all your aunt's things! Wang Yan's aunt scolded.

"It's okay, it's okay. It can be put together. Isn't this all something that can be put together? Wang Yan's mother picked up a small person and an arm on the ground and put them together.

It's not the same thing.

"I'll do it myself." Wang Yan said indifferently.

The cousin-in-law picked up the child and apologized, "I'm really sorry." I'm not optimistic. It's just a ...... to let go."

"It's okay, it's okay." Wang Yan's mother interrupted her.

Others came in and asked what had happened, and they were all sent away.

Wang Yan looked at the figure in the child's hand.

The little niece pinched the panda's ears and devoted herself wholeheartedly.

"Good boy, the things are back to my sister." Wang Yan's aunt said.

Her cousin-in-law also said a few words without being salty.

"I don't want it! I want a red panda! The little niece buried her face in her mother's arms.

"Good girl, will my aunt give you the kitten? This one is back to my aunt. Wang Yan said patiently.

The kid ignored it.

"It's good to give this to the good guy."

"Give it back to my aunt." Wang Yan's voice became stiff, "What do you want, my aunt can buy it for you again." This is my aunt's stuff, and I'll give it back to my aunt. ”

"Wang Yan." Wang Yan's mother raised her voice, a little angry.

The atmosphere became awkward.

Someone else came in to see what was going on.

“…… It's not a big deal. Wang Yan, you-"

"I said, give it back to me! Come to my house as a guest and break something, that's it. Little children, I can forgive. Now it's time to rob it! There is no upbringing! Wang Yan asked angrily.

The atmosphere became more tense.

"What do you say! I'm crazy! It's your niece! Wang Yan's mother was equally angry.

"My niece can snatch my stuff? They want my house, will you give it to me! Wang Yan looked at his mother without showing weakness.

"Alright, alright. Celebrate the New Year. Wang Yan's aunt said, snatched the things out of the child's hand, and returned them to Wang Yan.

The child burst into tears. Her mother, with an ugly face, went out with the child in her arms.

Wang Yan took the figure, squatted down, and began to pick up things on the ground. Her mother was scolding.

After a while, the child's crying did not stop. Wang Yan's elder brother walked in and bluntly said that he would take it back first and coax it.

The atmosphere of the New Year is gone.

Wang Yan was pushed on the head by his mother, but he didn't say a word. The people in the room are gone, and there is still a commotion outside.

Wang Yan's younger brothers and sisters came in, and they stopped talking, but just called their sister.

Wang Yan felt sad and suppressed the tears that were about to well.

She packed everything up, and instead of putting it in the cupboard, she took out the empty box from under the cabinet where she had put the figure away.

The time of the dream becomes very fast. Wang Yan's parents seem to have come in and accused, and Wang Yan's relatives seem to have come to be psychological mentors and want to reason with Wang Yan. Eventually, everyone is gone.

In the room, the contents of the cabinets were empty, but there were a lot of extra cardboard boxes.

Wang Yan looked at these and walked to the living room.

I felt something more behind me, but I couldn't look back.

Good night everyone~
