Moving to a new house was so busy that Chen Xingling slept at home for two days before he finally "lived".

On the morning of the third day, Jia Shuanghua came.

Chen Xingling happily ran out to open the door, "Welcome, welcome!" Welcome! ”

"Huh?" Jia Shuanghua looked at her curiously: "Are you home alone?" ”

Chen Xingling replied: "The big one went to work, and the little one went to school." ”

Jia Shuanghua was very envious and whispered: "I have my own little family, I am very happy, right?" There is no father-in-law and mother-in-law, no sister-in-law and sister-in-law, you are alone! ”

"That's not it!" Chen Xingling said with a smile: "You are in charge of your own territory, you can come as you want!" ”

Jia Shuanghua parked her bicycle under the big tree and leaned against the trunk.

"I decided – I'm going to move out and live alone when I get married. If I can't have my own small family, then I'd rather get married after graduation. ”

Chen Xingling couldn't help but ask: "Didn't your parents say that they would give you a small suite as a dowry?" I don't have children yet, so you two young people don't have to be in such a hurry to squeeze together with the old people. ”

"Alas!" Jia Shuanghua sighed depressedly: "Don't mention it, I can't hold back my anger when I mention it!" My parents are in the same unit, and the unit took care of it when the room was issued, and it was not easy to have such a small suite. But my uncle is so old-fashioned, saying that the feng shui of that suite is not good enough, the direction is not good enough, and it will affect the continuation of the heirs in the future. He told my aunt and cousin that we weren't allowed to stay in that suite! ”

Forehead?

Chen Xingling was a little speechless: "Did you invite Mr. Feng Shui to see it?" ”

"Nope." Jia Shuanghua rolled her eyes and explained: "My uncle is the kind of person who is very superstitious and superstitious, holding all kinds of feng shui books to read all day long, not allowing this, not allowing that, avoiding water today, avoiding fire tomorrow, and even not going out." It used to be fine, but now that I'm older, I'm getting more and more superstitious, as if I'm going to go crazy! ”

Chen Xingling touched his nose and asked in a low voice, "Then what should you do?" After getting married, you will temporarily live with your parents-in-law? ”

“…… I don't want to. Jia Shuanghua replied sullenly: "My cousin's family is not big, just two rooms and a small hall. My aunt meant that I lived with my cousin and nothing else. I can still have my own desk and private room at home, and I may not even have my own separate desk when I get married. My uncle likes to take care of this and that, thinking about facing such a father-in-law every day, I am terrified in my heart! ”

"At least there is no contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law." Chen Xingling led her across the brick path and coaxed: "Your mother-in-law is your aunt." You're her niece, and there's no reason why she shouldn't love you. ”

Jia Shuanghua was still unhappy, and whispered: "My cousin said that he couldn't live in a new house, and my heart was half cold. He had always been filial to my aunt and uncle, but I could not have imagined that he would believe in my uncle's superstitious thoughts, and instead came to persuade me to listen to my uncle. My aunt is very good, but the person who really wants to live with me for the rest of her life is my cousin. ”

"Isn't it?" Chen Xingling was a little incredulous: "He is young and has also read books, how can he believe those chaotic superstitious thoughts?" ”

"He's getting more and more convinced." Jia Shuanghua exhaled angrily: "He now reads the feng shui book whenever he is free, comparing and drawing, pinching and calculating, just like a fake Taoist priest!" ”

Chen Xingling's mind unconsciously imagined her cousin pretending to be a Taoist priest, and she almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

"You are a contemporary college student, a materialist who believes in science. You can neutralize and hedge with him, maybe it's just right. ”

"Pull it down!" Jia Shuanghua sat down and snorted coldly: "I was going to come to your house for dinner that evening, but he stopped him and said that he could only go out after 5:45, and said that hedging at the hour was not good for new guests!" If I wasn't afraid of your jokes, I would have wanted to tell you and give you a big gift when I came that day, and help me scold him! ”

Forehead?

Chen Xingling: "Poof! He laughed out loud: "No wonder you came so late the day before yesterday!" ”

Jia Shuanghua sighed weakly: "I'm almost annoyed to death......"

"Don't be angry, don't be annoyed." Chen Xingling unscrewed the fan and pushed the rear window open, so that the cool breeze from the front and rear windows could be convection, and said, "Wait for me to relax here today and adjust my mood." ”

Jia Shuanghua held her chin and looked at her with her eyes.

"Ling Ling, when you were with your lover, you were the same as me and my cousin, right? Are you happy when you get married? ”

Chen Xingling shook his head: "I'm not happy, especially in the past few years. He went abroad to study, leaving me alone to take care of the baby in his hometown, doing a lot of housework every day, busy from morning to night, but my mother-in-law was still dissatisfied in every way, scolded me at every turn, and even secretly abused me. ”

Yes?!!!

When Jia Shuanghua heard this, she was immediately frightened.

"Y-how can your mother-in-law be so bad!"

Chen Xingling poured her a glass of water and said calmly: "The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been the most difficult to handle. Although I have the heart to be good to her, she treats me as an outsider everywhere and only loves her own son and daughter. That being the case, forget it. ”

“…… What do you mean? Jia Shuanghua was stunned when she heard this.

Chen Xingling explained: "In my opinion, the relationship between people must be meaningful if both parties contribute together. If only one party pays, then the relationship will not go long. I used to ...... Thinking that she is my lover's biological mother, try to be good to her, I feel that with the help of time, she will find out about me sooner or later. But she found out, but her attitude towards me still couldn't change. ”

"Really?" Jia Shuanghua asked, "Why can't she change it?" ”

Chen Xingling replied: "You may change your tone or attitude for a while, but you will be gone." In the final analysis, it is still the same sentence - the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change. ”

Jia Shuanghua has always been soft-hearted, and when she said this, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her friend.

"The years you spent in Shangjing...... It's definitely painful. ”

Chen Xingling nodded, his eyes gesturing around.

"So, don't just see how good I am now, and don't go into the inner reasons at all. If I can live well in my in-laws' house, my brothers won't have to go out and help me build this little garden. I'm keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon. ”

Jia Shuanghua was thoughtful, not knowing what to remember.

"Or—I'd better tell my cousin to get married next year or the year after."

Chen Xingling couldn't help but remind: "Parents are urging so hard, can you withstand the pressure?" ”

"But I really don't want to get married at all now!" Jia Shuanghua muttered dissatisfiedly: "I have to prepare a dowry again, and I can't live outside." I still have to study, how can I do it all day long according to what they say, 'not to go out', 'avoid water, avoid fire, and avoid wood' or something! Now when I hear that my cousin is going to read eight characters and draw gossip, I just want to turn around and leave! ”

"Is that an exaggeration?" Chen Xinglinghu asked, "When did your cousin start to become like this?" ”

Jia Shuanghua replied: "It started this year." It's getting worse day by day, and I'm deeply poisoned by my uncle! Ling Ling, what do you think I should do? I advised him, but he wouldn't listen. If you don't listen, forget it, he still wants me to listen to him! ”

Chen Xingling couldn't cry or laugh: "I'm sorry...... I'm afraid I can't help with that. ”

The older generation of people in Yucheng do like the fortune-telling eight-character set, but the letter is converted, like this, you have to look at the yellow calendar to calculate which hour and moment is suitable to go out, it seems too crazy.

Jia Shuanghua's little face wrinkled, and she begged: "Ling Ling, you want to think of a way!" You're so smart, you're sure there's a way to help me. ”

"The hardest thing to change is not an idea." Chen Xingling smiled bitterly: "It's the concept of people, especially the deep-rooted one." Unless you are persistent in trying to change their minds, you can't do it. ”

"I ...... I couldn't stand it for a few days. Jia Shuanghua howled aggrievedly: "Still persevering? Damn! ”
