When I got home, it was almost noon, Zhang's father had already prepared the meal, and Zhang's mother said to Zhang Yan while holding the dishes: "This young man is in good condition, and his family still has a house in the county, you should contact people more, understand more, you can go out and have fun if you have nothing to do, don't ignore others like before, my mother told you, girls sometimes have to take the initiative, don't just wait for others to contact you first!" Zhang Yan picked up the rice in the bowl and didn't say anything. "Did you hear what I said?" Mother Zhang said again. "Hmm!" Zhang Yan coped with it!

On the 27th of the Lunar New Year, every year is the grandparents' house in the Chinese New Year's Eve, because the cousin and cousin-in-law who married from other provinces want to return to their in-laws' house for the New Year, so this year the reunion year is advanced. Zhang Yan and Zhang's mother walked to their grandfather's house with gifts and Zhang's father. My grandfather's house is very close to Zhang Yan's house, and it takes less than ten minutes to walk. Grandparents, aunts, cousins, and cousins-in-law have prepared the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and as soon as Zhang Yan and their family entered the door, the firecrackers were lit, and the crackling sound of the firecrackers was deafening, welcoming the arrival of the New Year!

The family happily sat down, and the table full of dishes was fragrant and mouth-watering. There are cold chicken, boiled fish, stir-fried pork with garlic, Sichuan-style sausage, preserved pork ribs, stir-fried pork with leeks, back to the pot meat, stir-fried cabbage sum。。。。。。。 Zhang Yan took out the red wine she bought, poured a glass for everyone, everyone raised their glasses and said happy New Year, good health, all the best, everyone was smiling, grandma accidentally broke the wine glass when she put down the wine glass, grandpa's face changed suddenly, and her mouth muttered: "New Year's Day, what do you say you are doing!" I'm going to break the cup~~~~" Everyone comforted: "It's okay, it's okay!" Year after year! Good luck! Grandpa didn't say anything more!

Zhang's father and uncle-in-law were chatting about political topics, his grandfather and cousin-in-law were chatting about economic topics, and his cousin went to the kitchen to serve dinner. The aunt said to Zhang's mother: "Sister Yang next door to my house said to introduce Zhang Yan to a partner, do you want to go and see it?"

Zhang's mother said: "Look at it! Whatever! She's not obedient at all now! Zhang Yan felt uncomfortable and replied: "Why am I disobedient?"

Mother Zhang glared at Zhang Yan and said, "Your aunt is here today, so I just said it!" Your aunt said that you pushed the blind date person that day again, I just want to say what do you want to do? “

"What am I going to do! If it's not suitable, of course you have to return! “

"Yes! Be! Be! You don't fit anything! I don't know what you're looking for? Other people's conditions are so good, and you are still not satisfied! You don't want to think about yourself! “

"What happened to me? Am I disgraced you? I don't understand why you just want to arrange it for me! I have my own ideas too! “

"Wouldn't it be nice for me to worry about you? You don't want to think about how old you are! You have been working for so long, and you haven't got a penny back, don't you think I don't know about your dad stealing money to buy you a car? “

"Yes, I admit that I haven't taken a penny from my family, but my ability is limited! What do you want me to do? Dad gave me the money because he felt sorry for me! “

"I told you to listen to me a long time ago, and I found someone to marry earlier, but if you don't listen, everything depends on me and your father now, and you don't want to think about how old me and your father are, why does your father love you, is it harmful for me to ask you to find someone to marry?"

"I didn't say you were wrong, I just hope you don't force me, don't force me to do what you think!"

"You say I'm forcing you? I'm not good for you, I won't hurt you, you have to listen to me! “

"Yes! Be! Be! You are for my good, you are right in everything, you don't have to listen to you from childhood to adulthood, you are always right in everything, we are all wrong, why should you listen to everything, I won't listen to this matter, I won't find a partner, it's not impossible for me to live alone! “

Syllable! A loud slap in the face!

Zhang Yan touched her cheek with one hand, looked at Zhang's mother in disbelief, tears instantly slipped from her eyes, she didn't understand that her mother actually hit her, and she actually beat her because of finding a partner! She felt painful, sad, and ridiculous at the same time! It's ridiculous that her mother beat her because she was old and single, and beat her because she didn't find a partner according to her ideas! She hit her!!!!

"What are you hitting her for?" Grandpa's voice rang out.

"I think you're going crazy today, what are you doing? I see you're crazy! Father Zhang took a sip of the wine glass!

Zhang Yan couldn't hear what the person next to her was saying, and she couldn't see the face of the person next to her, tears blurred her eyes, her ears were buzzing, she collapsed, lying on the table and crying! My cousin came over and patted her on the shoulder to persuade her not to cry, saying that Zhang's mother didn't mean it, it was an unintentional mistake! Mother Zhang was still talking about something, she couldn't hear it clearly!

After crying for a while, she sobbed and said, "I can't figure it out, didn't I find a partner?" As for whether you still want to do it? As for it? I've never heard of anyone being beaten by their own mother for something like this! Never! After speaking, Zhang Yan got up and walked towards the door, leaving only one sentence, "I want to be quiet alone!" “

Zhang Yan walked aimlessly along the road, the mobile phone rang suddenly, and the word "sister" was displayed on the screen, Zhang Yan didn't answer, she didn't want to talk to anyone now, she just wanted to be quiet by herself. The phone rang for a while and then stopped, Zhang Yan put the phone on silent and stuffed it into her pocket, not wanting to care about it anymore!

Along the way, the picture of being beaten just now appeared in front of her again and again, she went from sad to more ridiculous the more she thought about it, she couldn't imagine that a 28-year-old person was still beaten by her mother, and she couldn't imagine that the reason for the beating was that she had not been married and had children for a long time, and there should never be a second person in the world who had the same experience as her!

The sound of firecrackers around her made Zhang Yan feel very lonely, and her whole person was shrouded in sadness. Originally, there should have been a lively New Year's dinner today, but now it's really "lively"!

At the age of 28, she graduated a few years ago, her career has just started, with a meager salary, she works hard in the city alone, renting a house, taking a car, eating, socializing and socializing everything needs money, Zhang Yan only dares to buy clothes within 500, maybe less than 10 pieces a year! Zhang's father saw that Zhang Yan was inconvenient to commute to work, so he bought a second-hand car for her to travel! With a car, fuel costs, maintenance costs, and insurance premiums are another big expense! Zhang Yan's salary can barely survive! It's not that she didn't think that she should send some money to her parents, but she has more than enough heart and no strength, and she is also full of guilt for this!

Thinking about it, it suddenly became very bright in front of her, Zhang Yan found that she walked to the street, although the streets of the town are not as spacious as the big city, the night market is still very lively, there are all kinds of things, although the winter is not as good as the summer, but it coincides with the Spring Festival, it is also joyful and brightly lit!

Zhang Yan casually found a kebab stand, took some skewers casually, asked for a bottle of beer and drank it alone. Zhang Yan, who doesn't usually drink much, wants to get drunk today. "Didn't you hear that "one drunk relieves a thousand sorrows"! I'm going to try it today, too! Boss! One more bottle! "A bottle of wine is down, Zhang Yan is a little drunk!
