Lunch was very sumptuous, but after the old man insisted on talking to Lin Feifei in person, I suddenly felt that the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly had a more solemn taste.

The old man poured himself a glass of wine, and my mother was stunned for a moment, looking at him with a little stunned eyes.

No wonder my mom was surprised, my old man rarely drinks at noon.

The old man took a slow sip of wine, closed his eyes slightly, and his thoughts seemed to drift in the charm of wine.

His back was set off by the sun, but he looked a little lonely.

After a while, he suddenly looked at Lin Feifei, the smile on his face was a little sour, and asked, "Feifei, do you have to make a deal with Yu Bin this year?" Originally, it was inappropriate for my uncle to say this, but Yu Bin, this kid, has been hanging all day long, so think about it, I'll ask you myself!"

I touched my nose helplessly, smiled and didn't speak.

I'm not married in my early thirties, and in my hometown, I'm a monster in other people's eyes.

That's it, if you get married and don't have children, you're also a monster.

If you don't listen to the arrangements at home, you're still a monster.

In your hometown, if you are a monster in the eyes of others, it will be over, you will become a monster criticized by relatives and neighbors, they will hold high the banner of your good, stand on the moral high ground to judge you, only if you become a person like them, you are normal.

Before eating, my dad took advantage of Lin Feifei's absence to tell me that when we went out to visit the temple fair last night, relatives came to my house to talk bitterly, saying that my marriage with Lin Feifei was far away, and he was worried that she would be the next Kuang Li.

I was speechless and helpless, when others pointed at me, the old man always felt that people's starting point was also for my good, I used to refute a few words, but now I don't even say it.

Lin Feifei was stunned for a moment, not prepared at all, she looked at me in amazement, I could only shrug my shoulders with a wry smile.

She tucked the strands of hair scattered around her ears, her beautiful eyes flashed, she looked directly into my father's eyes, and said generously:

"My relationship with Yu Bin is definitely fine, but we have only been together for more than half a year now, and I think it is possible to get married a little earlier, I actually don't rule out getting married, but I think it's actually a bit early."

The old man's smile froze, and he patiently did ideological work for Lin Feifei: "You are only in your twenties, but Yu Bin is already thirty-two, he can't afford to wait."

In fact, it is normal to be 30 years old in a big city without marriage and no partner, but in your hometown you are a demon, at this time I suddenly miss a little bit of the big city, everyone is busy making money, and has no energy to worry about others.

The smile on Lin Feifei's face rippled slightly, "Uncle, it's actually okay to be thirty years old! Men don't mature until they're forty years old!"

The old man snorted a few times, "They all say that they stand at thirty, why doesn't anyone say stand at forty?"

Lin Feifei didn't dwell on this topic, and said with a smile: "I haven't been with Yu Bin for a long time, and suddenly we talked about marriage, I didn't have any preparation in my heart, we felt that when the time came to get married, we would definitely get married naturally, and we didn't need you to urge." Look at the book

Lin Feifei has already talked about this, and my dad naturally can't say anything deeper.

At this time, my mother gave him another look, and he shook his head helplessly and sighed, his waist pole was like a branch bent by the heavy snow outside the window.

The old man's eyes were like falling leaves in the wind, revealing a sense of loneliness, I was full of helplessness, and I slowly suffocated in the urging of my parents to marry.

Older and unmarried, these four words seem to choke my throat, every year when I go home for the New Year, it is like a catastrophe, I didn't expect that the moment before leaving, urging marriage is like a life-calling, as if it doesn't matter if you are happy or unhappy in marriage, the important thing is to get married first.

I didn't want to make my parents sad because of the quarrel again, so this time I didn't say anything, and my dad tried to urge the marriage, and the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly fell into embarrassment.

The silence was overwhelming like a thick cloud, and my mother tried to break the silence by saying a few painless words to me, followed by a new round of embarrassment.

I thought that this meal would end in an atmosphere of reluctance, but I didn't expect it to end hastily in a chaotic situation.

from home

Coming out, the snow was a little heavier than it had just been.

After the car started slowly and waved goodbye to my parents, I looked through the middle rearview mirror, and the house looked very quiet and beautiful in the snow, but I was getting farther and farther away from it.

Ice and snow found their place on every brick and tile of the house, but I couldn't go back, and I couldn't help but laugh at myself at the thought of it.

What was supposed to be a place to be home is now only a snowy expanse......

Lin Feifei sighed when she saw me, turned her head sideways and looked at me deeply, with a little shame in her eyes, and said reluctantly, "Honey, did I say the wrong thing just now?"

I shook my head, "Of course not, you and my dad are both thinking about things from their own standpoints, in fact, no one is wrong, so I don't blame you two."

Lin Feifei breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "It's not normal for you to be 30 years old and not married, or to have no partner! Why is my uncle in such a hurry?"

I smiled wryly, "In my dad's eyes, our village is his whole world, and he has lived here all his life, and everyone is like this, which has become a default rule, which is why I don't want to come back."

I couldn't help but sigh softly with thoughts in my heart.

Since I don't know when, sighing has become a habit of mine, it seems to tell my heart, announcing my loneliness and helplessness.

I paused, groaned and said, "In our place, as long as you are not married, you have to face the urge to marry, and when you get married, you will continue to urge you to have children, in short, they like to use their own life trajectory to arrange your life, if you don't obey you, you will be a monster in the eyes of others."

Lin Feifei was silent for a few seconds and said, "Then what do you think?"

"In fact, from the moment I left my hometown and chose to stay in the big city, I knew that I would never go back."

I always thought that the place I couldn't reach was called a distant place, but now I know that for me, it should be called hometown.

Lin Feifei nodded, as if thinking of herself, and said with emotion, "Yes! Otherwise, who would want to be displaced?"

I smiled and decided not to let the atmosphere of sadness spread from among us, "People are tired of living, so we call them humans."

"Hahaha! Brilliant!"

I also laughed, "I don't have the same joys and sorrows with my parents, and if I talk too much, I will only be noisy."

"Yo, why do I think you're mature?"

"Well, I can't keep arguing with them!"

"What I said to my uncle today, can you understand me?"

Lin Feifei hesitated for a moment and asked worriedly.
