Volume 1 Chapter 467, The Collision of Two Generations
Lin Feifei originally had good intentions, but when she said this, I couldn't help but think of my father's "high hopes" for me, and I suddenly felt Alexander.
I obediently sat down in the living room, glad that my father hadn't mentioned it, and I breathed a long sigh of relief.
My mother and Lin Feifei were talking and laughing in the kitchen, listening to the laughter floating out of the kitchen from time to time, I felt a lot of emotion in my heart.
Isn't this kind of life exactly what I pursue?
My mother and Lin Feifei worked together to make a large table of sumptuous lunches, and we chatted while eating, with topics ranging from work to life, and the whole table was filled with a harmonious atmosphere.
Just when I thought that the meal would end with a warm ending, my father suddenly changed his words, and the original warm atmosphere was instantly broken.
"Yu Bin, did you talk to Feifei's mother about you and Fei Fei?"
His voice was rough, like a gust of wind, that swept through the entire family and blew away the atmosphere of harmony.
Lin Feifei looked at me, her eyes flickered a little, I gave her a reassuring look, then turned her head to look at her father, groaned for a while, and said lightly, "Actually, we communicated yesterday, but Deng ...... Aunt Deng is busy right now, she can't come to Dadu recently, tell me to let you recuperate with peace of mind first, and when the illness is cured, the two of us will take time to have a meal and have a good chat."
I had to make up a white lie, my father had just been discharged from the hospital, I was afraid to tell the truth, his mood swings were not good for his condition, not to mention that sometimes the truth is often too hurtful, if he knew the truth, the two in-laws would not meet in the future.
His father's face sank, his facial expression became serious and deep, and his brow furrowed like two tall mountains, squeezing his forehead.
His face changed, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became dull.
"When I'm well? I don't know when I'll recover! If Feifei's mother can't pull away, we can go over!" Father said with a straight face.
At this time, I didn't dare to raise the bar with my father, so I could only lower my posture and say in a good voice:
"Feifei's mother travels a lot, and after coming to us last month, she went on a business trip again, so she was really busy. Besides, don't you think I'm pretty busy! Both sides actually have to match the time."
I wanted to use my work as an excuse, but unfortunately my father was not so easy to fool, he didn't speak, but a trace of coldness and seriousness came out of his eyes, obviously not believing what I said.
Maybe it was because Lin Feifei was there, and his father didn't go on the spot, he was silent for a while, squeezed out a smile, and said:
"It's not a reason to be busy at work! You can't stop getting married just because you're busy, can you?"
I turned my head to look at Lin Feifei, smiled, and said whatever I thought in my heart.
"Dad, Mom, Fei Fei and I decided to get married, so let's pull a certificate, the two families get together for a meal, and we don't want to have a wedding."
Lin Feifei and I both felt that the wedding was just a ceremony, and it was very tiring, and the process was long, ranging from small candy and red envelopes to hotels and weddings, which was too troublesome.
The cookie-cutter wedding process is tiring and boring, and Lin Feifei and I both advocate simplicity and direct cooking.
When I spoke my mind and my parents strongly objected, my mom was the first to speak, and she looked at us in disbelief, "What? Don't do anything! If you don't do anything, how can I get along with your father?"
The father pursed his lips, then frowned and said, "Your mother and I are married to whoever is in the village, if our family doesn't do something, this part of the money will not be recovered!"
The atmosphere at the dinner table fell into a dead silence in vain, and my mother looked at us with a sad face, and sighed softly:
"Your dad and I were looking forward to your wedding when you got married, but you didn't want to."
My father's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character, and he said helplessly: "We still have to hold a flowing water banquet in our countryside, and if we don't hold a wedding when we get married, it is equivalent to missing a link and a sense of ceremony!" Your mother and I still want to be at the wedding scene and listen to Fei Fei change her voice to call her father and mother! And when the time comes, your banquet must be the grandest in our village."
At this moment, I finally realized
to the helplessness brought about by the collision of two generations. Take wedding photos, find a wedding, hold a banquet, and then the host at the wedding tries every means to make the bride and groom cry, just thinking about it makes me feel tired, maybe the stage is self-moving, and the guests in the audience just want to serve the food as soon as possible.
Moreover, when organizing a banquet, it is easy for the small couple to have disagreements, which tests people's energy and patience too much.
I was just about to speak, but Lin Feifei suddenly quietly pulled my hand under the table. I turned my head to look at her, and she shook her head at me gently.
She was afraid that I would quarrel with my parents, and I didn't think I could understand this matter, so I just mentioned it casually, but I didn't expect it to be related to the wedding.
I didn't expect that there would be such a big difference between me and my parents whether I had a wedding or not, and I didn't dare to think about it in the future. I organized my language and said patiently with suppressed emotions: "Whether this is a wedding or not, let's talk about it then, and when Aunt Deng decides on the time, we will talk about these things together."
I am reluctant to hold a wedding in my heart, but now I dare not disobey my old man, in case he is angry, then it is okay, and I can't refuse him directly, my parents have a good face, I have to be tactful, save some face and steps, otherwise it is easier to backfire.
In front of Lin Feifei, my parents didn't say anything deeper, although the topic stopped, but between us, it was like an invisible wall.
This wall seems to be nothing, but it is so real.
A good meal ended in a depressing atmosphere, and this time my parents came to live with us temporarily, which made me experience the collision of two generations.
At night, Fei Fei and I were lying in bed, she put her head on my shoulders and said in a low voice, "Husband, why don't I talk to my mother again? After all, she had promised it before."
"I think what you said might be a result, as long as you want to."
Lin Feifei looked at me in surprise, "Why?"
I smiled, "Because what my daughter usually insists on, there is a high probability that she will succeed in the end."
Lin Feifei immediately began to express her determination, "Of course I am willing, but I didn't expect that it would be too difficult for the two of us."
I patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, saying, "Don't worry! As long as we want to."
"Cut! You're comforting me again."
"What I said is true, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge."
"Come on! At your weight, the ship might have sunk before it reached the bridge."
