When I went to the beach, my mother and I were laying out thin blankets on the beach, and my mother was setting up food. Yuan dad and old ginger, in the whole parasol and. Mr. Yuan was called to buy two coconuts and bring them over, and several people looked very tacit.

Yuan's mother is a very literary woman, we wiped her sunscreen, and she lay on the beach chair to read the books she brought.

My mother has been with her for a long time, so she learned it. Both of them were reading books, reading Lin Huiyin's book.

Lao Jiang and Yuan Dad will talk about historical stories for a while, and then start playing chess again.

I sat on the beach, waiting for Mr. Yuan to come back. Yuan's mother is really a very delicate woman, and she makes the food in the morning.

There was mung bean porridge in the thermos bucket, sandwiches, rattan pepper burgers, fruit salad, chicken breast, and a lot of apple pies and waffles. Some ice, fruits, mineral water, juice, champagne were prepared.

The main thing is to buy two large boxes of pizza, a golden pillow durian pizza and a beef pizza.

I poured juice for them, and I saw that there were people on the beach in front of me who were drawing dragons with branches, and I used to draw dragons on the beach with branches.

Mr. Yuan wore glasses, a white short-sleeved shirt, blue shorts, and two coconuts, and walked over with flip-flops.

"Didn't you just wear sneakers?" He took the coconut in his hand and asked him, why did it change to flip-flops again?

"Here." He leaned slightly to show me his back, and the laces of his sneakers were tied together and hung around his neck.

Hurry up and take it down for him, and I don't feel uncomfortable falling like this. The world of straight men is sometimes really hard to understand.

"Shubai, I'm so bored." I leaned on his back and was aggrieved.

He sat down on the blanket and took out the champagne from the ice, poured a glass, and handed it to me with his right hand.

"You can't drink, you're going to drive."

"I didn't say I wanted to drink it, I drank mung bean soup."

"Yuan Shubai, I want to play with my phone."

"No."

Today, everyone came to the beach to play because Yuan's parents felt that Mr. Yuan and I were immersed in our mobile phones all day long and couldn't extricate ourselves. There was a lack of communication with people, so a beach trip was planned.

And it is stipulated that you can't play with your mobile phone all day today.

"But you see them, they are all playing on their own, and no one pays attention to me."

"I'll accompany you." He pinched my face and grinned.

Suddenly, I remembered Mr. Yuan's grandmother and asked, "Is grandma okay?" Why didn't you see her this time? ”

"Grandma is in good health, she eats well and sleeps well. I went to my grandfather's this year, and their brothers and sisters haven't celebrated the New Year together for a long time. Grandma asked the old man to send her over, saying that she would celebrate the New Year with my grandfather and them this year. ”

I can't understand my grandmother's lifelong love all my life, maybe it's because the carriage and horses were far away and the letters were very slow.

"Xiaojing, you come." Mother Yuan called me over.

"What's wrong?"

"Look at this sentence, isn't it beautiful?"

I don't know where she took another book and pointed to one of them and asked me.

-- Two people a day, three meals for four seasons

"It's beautiful."

"Does this sum up the lives of many people?" She asked me.

"It's... I can't. This would be too rough to generalize. ”

"But that's true, isn't it?"

"Well, yes."

Indeed, the short summary of all people's lives is: two people a day, you and your lover. 3 meals, breakfast, lunch, dinner. Four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter.

But I can't really accept such an impetuous generalization. I don't like that description, it makes me feel like it's boring my life.

"Do you know grandma's love?"

"Grandma? I've heard her say a little bit before. ”

Mother Yuan touched my head, very kind and gentle, she said: "Actually, grandma is so old, and sometimes when she is sober, she will remember Shubai's grandfather." Not because she was afraid of getting old, but because there was someone who had lived with her for many years. ”

"Well, I don't quite understand, what you mean."

"It's okay, I just want you to feel like you're with you, and it feels good."

"That's good." She said Yuan Shubai again.

When Mother Yuan held my hand, I reflexively looked at Mr. Yuan. I used to ask a cousin about one time when I went to her house, and on the way she told me that life is actually very tiring. I also have to take care of my children, and I have to take care of my husband. Laundry, cooking, going to work, feeling too tired.

I reflexively asked, "Then why did you get married in the first place?" ”

She said: "It doesn't mean that, tired is tired, but it's very happy to have someone with you." ”

"I don't get it."

"When I am alone, I am very lonely, and I carry the pressure of life by myself. There is no one to share it for you, although it is also tiring after getting married. But there is someone with you, and you will have a hot meal when you go home, and someone to talk to you. I can also watch movies and eat hot pot with you. ”

She means more often. The happiness that marriage gave her weakened the pressure of life many times for her.

Mr. Yuan wore sunglasses and showed big white teeth. I couldn't see my eyes, but I was laughing.

"Shubai, come here." Mother Yuan waved her hand again and asked Mr. Yuan to come over.

"Mom."

"Shubai, look at this sentence." She pointed to the location that I had just seen and gave Mr. Yuan: two people a day, three meals and four seasons.

"What's wrong?"

"In the future, it will be you and Xiaojing who will live in the future, and your life may really be as ordinary and simple as this sentence. But I hope that no matter what you go through, you can choose each other steadfastly, okay? ”

"Mom, why do you suddenly say such things? Strange scenery. ”

Mr. Yuan pouted a little reluctantly and twisted his face to the side.

"Bastard, hurry up and get married. I'm worried about it, I'm annoyed. Yuan's mother slapped Mr. Yuan's head and spoke Cantonese.

My mother was next to me and peeked at me. I silently let go of my hand and pretended to drink the juice. I guessed in my heart that my mother and my mother must have discussed this matter, otherwise why would it be this sentence again.

When I was in school, I told my mother that if I get married late or be single in the future, don't rush me. At the beginning, she and Lao Jiang agreed very well, but now how do I feel, my age is too embarrassing.

The whole world is urging you to get married and start a family.

The classmates in the circle of friends are no longer posting selfies, they are all posting children...

Seeing that we really weren't interested in listening, she didn't talk any more. I poured them champagne and the two sisters began to bathe on the beach again.

Sometimes looking at the two women of them, I can always see through them and see that there is a feeling that time is running fast.

When I first started college, my mother always talked about how I often took time off from high school. I will also worry that I will not be able to eat and sleep well when I arrive in another city. I found someone to arrange it for me in another city, and I always didn't appreciate her kindness.

One day I saw this sentence: You always hate your mother's kindness to others, but you don't know that when she was young, she also had the same illusions about the future as you do.

Slowly began to accept another way of her love for me, no more arguing, and no longer saying that she was too attentive to others. Accept some of her arrangements sometimes, although I hate it, although I feel ashamed, but I never said anything like 'can you leave my business alone'.

I rarely take Jiang out to play with her, and more often they come to see me. I came back late from overtime, and Mr. Yuan sometimes went on business trips. She and Lao Jiang had the keys to the house, and they didn't say anything to disturb the house for me, and the cooked meal was on the table.

I waited until almost the early hours of the morning to see that I hadn't come home yet. I also made a phone call, and drove back silently again.

As for me, sometimes it's too late to see the time. I simply didn't go back, slept with the team at the company for one night, and then went home in the morning to change clothes.

When I got home the next day, I saw the fried vegetables with ginger on the table, which were cold overnight. The fridge was stuffed with the food they had prepared, and the house was cleaned. The garbage in the kitchen, living room, and bathroom was also emptied by them.

He didn't say anything, but left a note with four words: Remember to eat.

When I called them, I asked them if they had been here yesterday. Before I could say anything, she asked me, "Are you coming back now?" ”

"yes, you fried so many dishes yesterday?"

When she learned that I had just arrived home, my mother remembered the time she had cooked for me yesterday. One by one, he said to me, "Don't eat yesterday's meal, it's overnight." It's not good for your health to eat it, so let's pour it. I've got milk, fruit oats, and bread for you, and you can make do with this in the morning. Don't eat yesterday's meal, you know? ”

Sometimes I'm very disobedient, and I don't listen to what they say. She wouldn't let me eat it, I wanted to. The dish wasn't even hot, so I ate it.

After leaving it for one night, there is basically no good taste. But I tasted their love for me vividly, and I felt that I had grown up so old and didn't give them a good life, and I didn't even have much time to spend with them.

I've been working for so many years, when the living conditions finally get better little by little. only to find out that it has been many years since they left their side. The hair of my mother and father gradually turned gray.

I often dislike me, and praise me in front of others.

The beach sun was so dazzling that I turned my back to wipe my tears. Mom and Mother Yuan were smiling and talking about what they were interested in.

Lao Jiang and Yuan Dad played chess vigorously. Both of them are not good, but they still love to play. Playing chess on the beach, the fun of their men, is probably as simple as that.

My mother held her cup in the air and wanted to toast me. I've also looked back to how happy they are. In the future, I may be like them. lived a plain and simple life, discussing fried rice, oil and salt. Maybe it's the same as in the TV series, watching the school district room and tutorial classes.

In short, it's not what I like.

And the more I grew up, the more I found that my mother's love and satisfaction were very simple. One night, Mr. Yuan told me that when his mother and Yuan mother were chatting, he heard them say, "If Xiaojing is not married at the age of thirty-two in Shubai." I asked Shubai to break up with her. ”

Yuan's mother covered her mother's mouth with a frightened face: "What are you talking about, A-Ning." Children's affairs, we adults don't have to worry about it. We are old, and our children and grandchildren have their own blessings. The two of them are happy. It doesn't matter if you get married or not. ”

My mother said: "Marriage is not only a matter of the two of them, but also a matter of two families. Shubai is very good, and Jingjing is also very good, but if this girl has to drag it all the time, it will not only be her own youth that will be wasted, but also Shubai's. We have spoiled our children so big, and it is a harm for one party to be selfish. They can also be friends, but they can't drag each other around. ”

Mom means that if I don't want to get married, I can. But to break up, you can be friends or not. In short, don't drag each other. This is disrespectful to both families and a disservice to each other.
