Chapter 575: A Helpless Choice
Liu Yue just took Yan Xin to the maternity center where Gu Ru was, and then left.
She was still a student and had her own things to do.
Do something, get a reward, and now that the thing is done, of course you can go.
Yan Xin chatted with Gu Ru in the maternity center for more than an hour, and then Gu Ru's father drove Yan Xin to the manor that their family had newly bought.
The estate is dozens of kilometers away from the maternity center, and it takes about an hour to drive by car.
The manor was bought by Gu Ru for 500,000 US dollars, and the original owner lost a lot of money in the subprime mortgage crisis, so he could only sell the manor.
Two hectares sounds like a lot, but the actual area is not that big, it's thirty acres.
Relying on this bit of land to farm and get rich, you don't have to think about it, you buy it purely for fun.
She mainly fell in love with the house there, which was quite beautifully repaired and had some exotic touches.
- It belongs to the local style here, but in Gu Ru's eyes, it is naturally exotic.
And there are many houses, too.
The house is not really good, but it does look beautiful at first glance.
Gu Ru's father placed Yan Xin in an independent house.
Not a room, but a separate house.
There are three of these single-family houses in this manor, and there is also a larger villa, which is where Gu Ru's family of three lives.
In the country where there are few people in the country, this kind of country house is not worth much, and it can be bought very cheaply.
Driving all the way over, Yan Xin saw a lot of such manors.
The scenery along the way is indeed much more beautiful than the rural areas in China.
In contrast, the country is still lagging behind a lot.
When he got there, Father Gu also took Yan Xin around his manor, and said to Yan Xin with a smile:
"Xiaoru likes it here, and we like it too, maybe we will retire here in the future."
also sighed: "I have been a city man all my life, but I didn't expect to end up being a farmer in a foreign country, think about it, this fate is quite strange." ”
Yan Xin was a little curious: "The language is different here, can you get used to it?" ”
"It's okay," Gu's father said, "My mother and I have read some books, we have a little English foundation, and we can do the simplest communication with the people here, and we are just old, not stupid, we can also learn language, stay for a few years, there should be no problem." ”
"But if you want to farm in China, you can also contract land to plant, although there is no permanent property rights, but people's life expectancy is so long, there is not much difference, right?" Yan Xin asked.
He was not very sympathetic to them living abroad.
In fact, it's not that he doesn't agree with them living abroad, it's none of his business at all.
He just wants his children to be able to live at home, not abroad.
He didn't want his children to get into bad habits.
After all, in a few years, this country will even be legal to smoke marijuana, which is a little too scary.
And he doesn't want his children to engage in self-awareness of gender, and when the time comes, they will make a strange gender.
He couldn't accept that kind of political correctness.
But he also knew one thing - he wasn't qualified to ask for anything.
No matter what decision people make, he can only respect it.
He just wanted to persuade him, hoping to convince the other party.
He also said: "Although this place is good, but after all, it is a place for people, you have no relatives here, no one you know, and I think it is still a little bad to settle here." If I were to live in my own country, where the language and customs are the same, and my relatives and friends are there, wouldn't it be better? ”
Father Gu listened to him, his face was a little gloomy, and finally sighed, and said with a wry smile:
"Xiao Yan, in fact, I understand all the truths you said, but now you also know the situation in our family, Xiaoru is not married, and she has no boyfriend, and she suddenly gave birth to such a child, if she was raised in her hometown, her relatives and friends will know it, and I don't know what gossip will be. It doesn't matter if we have an old face, but the child can't help those crazy words...... It's better to live in this foreign country, at least others won't gossip. ”
It turned out to be for this reason.
Yan Xin was silent.
He really didn't have the face to say anything more.
The one who can't give a child a name is none other than him.
He said, "It turns out that my uncle is worried about this, and I am superficial." ”
Father Gu sighed: "If it weren't for this reason, who would want to stay in this foreign country? ”
"However, you can also go to live in other cities in China, so you can avoid letting acquaintances see it?" Yan Xin still couldn't hold back and said, "Let the children grow up here, their skin colors are different, and they may be discriminated against when they study." ”
Father Gu shook his head and said:
"In our domestic environment, as long as the child does not have a father, it will inevitably be questioned, there will be some unpleasant words, and there is not much difference between leaving the acquaintance environment. And it's in the country, how can you leave it? It's better to tell them that they have already gone abroad, whether it is to make a transatlantic phone call or return to China, the cost is much greater, so that they can get out of that environment. As for you saying that you will be discriminated against when you study in the future, let's talk about it later, or find a place with a good environment for your children to study, or it is not too late to send your children back to China before that time. ”
Yan Xin didn't say anything more, but said, "That's not bad." ”
Later, this dick place was messed up, and all kinds of operations with three views exploding.
But I have to say that at this stage, it is still fine, and it is still a beacon of the world.
Most of the land in this estate is idle there, and there is a sparkling pond with an area of two or three thousand square meters in the middle.
If this is a community in China, it will be called a lake.
There was a place on the edge of the pond where several pieces of land had been reclaimed, and Gu's father told Yan Xin that it was made by the old couple of them, and they planted vegetables.
I have been a city man all my life, and I have a dream that I can eat the vegetables I grow.
It's a dream come true here.
If they want, they can make the garden very big.
Of course, just the three of them can't eat much.
The few vegetable plots that were made together did not have two points of land.
There is also a reason for this - they have not been able to buy the estate for a long time, and it is too late to operate it.
The original owners also carefully arranged the manor, and they liked it quite a bit.
Nothing has changed in the big way, the only thing that can be considered a change is the creation of a vegetable garden on the edge of the pond.
On the other side of the pond, a small pier was built with a small boat tethered there.
Gu's father told Yan Xin that Gu Ru wanted to go up for rowing, but because she had a big belly, she was stopped by their parents, so she didn't go up once.
But he went up and rowed over, and then capsized.
He said this with a smile on his face.
It seems that there are a little regrets about living in a foreign country, but it is not all regrets, and it can still bring them some happiness.
That's good, too.
Gu's father took Yan Xin around the manor for more than an hour, and it was almost dark, so he went home and cooked to entertain this guest.
Yan Xin didn't want the elders to serve him, so he followed him into the kitchen, and fried two dishes to show his cooking skills.
Father Gu looked at it and exclaimed: "I didn't expect Xiao Yan that you are so good at cooking, there are too few young people like you now, who can have a career and go to the kitchen." ”
Yan Xin was a little embarrassed: "Actually, I didn't know how to cook before, but then I got together with my girlfriend, and I learned from her, and I slowly learned a little bit." ”
Gu's father said: "Your girlfriend is also very powerful." ”
said and sighed again: "My daughter can't do it, she is in her 30s, and she can fry a few of the simplest dishes, and when we are old, I don't know what she will do." ”
After finishing speaking, he smiled bitterly: "Actually, her mother and I are already old, and I can't say anything about waiting for us to get old......
Yan Xin said with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry, in modern society, as long as you have money, everything is easy to solve." It doesn't matter if you don't know how to cook, just ask someone who can cook to help you do it. Sister Ru earns so much money now, no matter what country she is in, she can live well, don't worry about this. ”
"Hopefully......" Gu's father said.
He glanced at him again and said, "If only she could find a ...... like you?"
Stopped and changed his words: "Half of your excellent ......"
Then he paused again and changed his words again: "It's okay to find a man......"
Changing the rhetoric again and again represents a decrease in psychological expectations.
This is also the helplessness of an old father.
What can be done to meet such a daughter?
When I wanted to chase my dreams, I didn't contact my parents for 10 years when I was angry, and I wandered outside alone.
Later, they reached a settlement, but they refused to marry until they died, and said that they liked women.
It's so desperate.
At that time, the two of them felt that the whole sky was gray.
It's not that I'm worried that I'm old and helpless, but I'm worried that this daughter will be helpless when she gets old.
Fortunately, her daughter's conscience found out, and she finally agreed to give them a child.
As a result, I came out like this, I wasn't married, I didn't even have a boyfriend, and suddenly one day I came to give them the good news - I'm pregnant!
They didn't really feel much joy at that time.
There was even a sense of suffocation - how could this daughter be so frightening?
I also accepted it later.
had a child out of wedlock, but their old couple didn't look good, but no matter how they said it, they also had a child.
When they are gone, this daughter still has a relative and a companion in the world, and she is not so lonely.
It can be regarded as a little comfort to their hearts, and they are not so desperate.
Later, the daughter proposed to come to the United States to give birth to a child and get a household registration for the child, and they agreed without any hesitation.
The main reason is that I feel that I am really panicked to stay in China, and I don't have the face to face my relatives and friends.
If I could, I would love to be abroad for the rest of my life.
The child is there, and the birth problem has been solved, but they still have worries in their hearts.
After all, it will take a long time for this child to grow up, and they may not be able to spend that long with their daughter.
There was a transition period in between, and who would take care of their daughters at that time?
If you find a partner, of course, it's the best.
When I see Yan Xin, I can't help but think, how good would this young man be if he were his son-in-law?
However, people have girlfriends.
asked about his age, and he was more than ten years younger than his daughter.
And he is his daughter's boss, much richer than his daughter.
I found a girlfriend who was also richer than her daughter, and she was a sophomore.
How could people give up such an excellent and young girlfriend and find a woman who is more than ten years older than themselves?
It's impossible to think about.
The more he felt that Yan Xin, a young man, was excellent, and the more uncomfortable he felt when he thought of his daughter.
Come to think of it, my own daughter doesn't have that blessing.
I don't dare to hope to find such an excellent man, just be able to find an ordinary man.
It's just that what was born was such a daughter, and it was such a strange character that even the simplest hope became an extravagant hope.
As an old father, I was so helpless.
Yan Xin felt the helplessness of the old man, he didn't dare to say anything, for fear of arousing the old man's sadness, so he could only say something else to divert his attention.
Ask about life here, customs and so on.
The two of them had a dinner together.
After eating, Gu's father sent Yan Xin to the accommodation arranged for him, and then drove to the maternity center by himself, where he wanted to replace his wife who accompanied his daughter and let her rest and rest.
When Yan Xin woke up the next morning, it became Gu's mother who made breakfast at home.
When the two of them were having breakfast together, Gu's mother asked about Yan Xin and Gu Ru's relationship, and Yan Xin didn't know what Gu Ru said, so she could only deal with it carefully, for fear that she would show her feet if she was not careful.
Gu's mother also asked him about his girlfriend, and he also answered cautiously, feeling a lot of pressure.
Although Father Gu also inquired about some things, he didn't ask so carefully, just a perfunctory one.
This is to be a mother who is more careful, making him feel that he is almost overwhelmed.
Fortunately, I didn't ask anything in the end.
Gu's mother was talking, and she also remembered that her daughter and children had given birth and had not yet found a partner, and asked Yan Xin if there was a suitable person around her to introduce one.
In this regard, Yan Xin can only answer cautiously, and will pay attention to it in the future.
After breakfast, he followed Gu's mother to the maternity center.
During the whole day, he was here to accompany Gu Ru.
The two of them talked and walked, looking like husband and wife.
Gu Ru's parents watched the two of them together from a distance, and their feelings were very complicated.
I feel that these two people are a good match together, and the picture is very beautiful.
But I also know that one has a girlfriend and the other doesn't like men, and it is impossible to be together after all.
It was painful. (End of chapter)
