"Still old? I think it's all old antiques, old brains, so good? Bully obviously didn't agree with his mother's point of view all along, "The old one still wants to be applied?" You must know that times have long since changed! ”

The mother ate and said with a smile: "We parents are reluctant to marry our daughters to outsiders, in fact, it does not mean that Shanghai parents are discriminating against their sons-in-law ,-----from other places."

Brie pouted and interjected: "How can you say that this kind of thinking of yours is not regional discrimination?!" ”

"If you want your daughter to marry well and live well in the future, there is nothing wrong with us being parents, right?"

The mother smiled and said, "Having said that, I'm afraid that all parents in the world may hope that their children can find a local one." It's just that Shanghai has its own particularities in addition to this, so it is more obvious. ”

Bu Li stared at the rice bowl and remained silent.

"I just talked about some of the differences between us Shanghainese and outsiders, and I'll give you an example of diet."

While eating with vegetables, my mother said, "You know, our Shanghai diet is sweet, we like thick oil red sauce, and the dishes we make are very exquisite. When Shanghainese cook, they like to make the dishes colorful, fragrant, or at least look refreshing. But in other places, there is no such pursuit in many places, and the dishes are made sticky, and there is no appetite when you see it. And in some places, for example, Sichuan likes to eat spicy, and many of our little girls in Shanghai can't eat it.

She said: "So, if you can't solve even the most basic food problems, how can you ensure that you can live a normal life in the future?" ”

Bu Li retorted: "Mom, you are wrong, now Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine, Jiangxi cuisine, Chongqing hot pot ,---, and other chili dishes are blooming everywhere in Shanghai. The young people of Jiaojiaoguan, including me, all like to eat spicy food, good to cut? ”

The mother smiled and said, "I always thought about it---, it seems that during the Chinese New Year, the newspaper once reported that a southern girl went to her boyfriend's house for dinner, but immediately ran back to her hometown when she saw the food. Do you know this story? ”

Bu Li recalled for a moment and said, "What you want to talk about is a Hangzhou girl who went to her boyfriend's hometown, the New Year in the Northeast, right?" ”

"That's right, it's the story of a Hangzhou girl who went to the Northeast for the New Year." Mother nodded and said,

"If you want to talk about the cultural differences between the north and the south of China, it is really completely different. Northerners go to the south and think that the food in the south is not delicious, and when the southerners go to the north, they think it is too barbaric, and the table is full of big fish and meat. This is the cultural difference, do you know? ”

Crispy pulls the rice grains in the bowl.

"Northeast, I'm very familiar with your father!" The mother smiled and said, "Actually, my understanding may not mean that the Northeast food is not delicious, but the little girl herself has really never seen such a meal." For example, the dumplings that have been boiled cleanly are spread out on the table all at once, and then everyone eats the dumplings on the table. Because the little girl has never eaten like this, and she has never seen this kind of scene, it always feels like eating it on the ground, which will really make people think it is very unhygienic. “

"Do Northeast people really eat dumplings like that?" Brie wasn't convinced.

The mother smiled and said, "That's really the case." I ask you, will you get used to them eating like this? “

Bouri smiled and shook his head directly.

After a while, my mother said, "I'll tell you another example."

Shanghai little girls, in general, are very exquisite. This can be ranked at least in the top three in the country! You can't deny it, can you?! Most of the little girls in Shanghai have been raised as princesses since they were young, and their living requirements, standards, and upbringing are very high.

And the reason why I married a Shanghai boy is because they are all Shanghainese, and the man understands and appreciates the woman's delicacy.

Mother said that there are few places where people can live more delicately than Shanghainese. So, if a guy doesn't take a shower for a week, and you have to share a bed with him, that's absolutely impossible for a little girl in Shanghai. And if this little girl marries into the man's family, then she can only accept it. In this case, the girl's parents will be distressed, why should the little father-in-law who has been raised for more than 20 years have to accommodate a stinky man, and it is not that he can't support this daughter for a lifetime. Got it?

"I don't bathe for a week, what kind of species is this?" Bouli couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I'm telling the truth. There are people who don't take a shower for a week, but you don't know it, you haven't been exposed to it, okay? ”

Mother thought about it for a moment and said, "Also, it's a cultural thing."

Shanghai pays more attention to the equality of men and women, and even in a family, the woman will have a higher status, and the man will be more afraid of his wife. In fact, it's not that I'm afraid of my wife. It's just love for my wife. In Shanghai, the husband who beats his wife will be looked down upon and spurned by the people around him.

But now the status of women in many parts of the country is still very low, and even beating and scolding wives is a normal thing. And in some places, the mother-in-law will follow her son to bully her daughter-in-law, and even dislike her daughter-in-law if she can't give birth to a son.

This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed to happen to the parents of the little girl in Shanghai.

Mother said, it's still the same sentence, why should the little princess I have raised for more than 20 years become your fertility machine and nanny?! Therefore, in order to prevent this from happening, we, as parents, will naturally favor Shanghai boys.

Bu Li bit the sweet and sour chops and did not make a sound.

There is another problem, which is the problem of the girls themselves.

The mother continued to say that girls in Shanghai are relatively open-minded because of the international metropolis of Shanghai. When you go to other places, the local thinking is more conservative, and the relationship between the girl and her mother-in-law is even more difficult, and even her husband will have some unreasonable points. Therefore, looking for Shanghai boys, at least the environment is the same, what is said can be understood, what is said can be understood, how good it is to get along like this!

Bu Li thought for a while and said, "Mom, I agree with what you said, my female college classmates have met mothers-in-law like you." ”

"In short, Shanghai is one of the richest and most developed places in China, and people go to higher places, and marrying people must at least ensure that they do not fall into class."

Mother smiled, for example, now our family has already prepared 1 set of subway houses in the city for you. So in the future, no matter which Shanghai boy wants to marry my daughter, should the boy have at least one house of the same quality and location under his name?

"If the other party's family is ordinary or worse than mine, am I crazy or stupid, and will I agree to this thing?"

Bu Li grinned and said, "Back to the real house, there is still the problem of the right door!" ”

"No matter what, it's still quite important to be right, you are excellent, and he is not bad, probably this is the best state of the combination of the two, know how to fight?"

The mother continued: "You are stupid, almost all of your generation are only children in the family, our parents have worked hard to raise their baby daughters, who wants their daughters to have a much worse quality of life after marriage than before marriage?!" ”

The cloth is silent.

"Bu Li, you must remember it, outsiders, our family will definitely not consider it!" Mother said as she stared at Bree.

Bu Li was flustered, but on the surface he still forced his composure, and said with a smile: "Mom, where do you want to go?" Hurry up and eat the vegetables, it's almost cold. ”

But the mother didn't give up, and said, "Now that the weather is so hot outside, isn't it more delicious when the food is cold?" ”
