Tears blurred the vision, and the figures of the parents became illusory in their eyes little by little, as if they were walking away little by little.

I tried my best to control my emotions and not let myself collapse in front of them, and all the accusations that had questioned them disappeared at this moment.

This is probably family affection, no matter what kind of misunderstanding and disagreement you have experienced, when the family meets, everything is not important.

Yaoyao obviously felt the change in my mood, the force of holding my hand was increasing little by little, and her eyes were full of tenderness and encouragement.

I took two deep breaths, calmed myself, and cast a reassuring look at her.

A small emotional turmoil started silently and passed away silently. As the protagonist of this turmoil, my parents didn't know what I had just experienced.

With the cooperation of their parents, a table of steaming meals was soon served, and it was obvious that they were really attentive.

The dishes are very hard, and the chicken, duck and fish are full of tables, which is almost the standard for the New Year when I was a child. However, it is obvious that this method of winning by quantity still scared Yaoyao.

It is true that she has never seen such a battle, and with the deepening of reform, the standard of living is no longer the same as it was a few decades ago.

And the living habits of your parents are still stuck in their time, and their attention to you is directly proportional to the amount of food.

Soon, the family sat down at the beckoning of their parents, and their mother enthusiastically pulled Yaoyao to her side and sat down next to her.

The father, as if offering a treasure, turned over a bottle of dusty wine from the corner of the cabinet to see how expensive the packaging was.

"This is when your dad celebrated his birthday last year, and your little Uncle Liu brought it over. Your dad kept saying he wanted to drink it, but I didn't let him drink it, and today I came over with Yaoyao from afar, so you and your dad drank it. ”

The mother was the first to speak, and the father began to drink awkwardly as if he had been ordered. After studying for a long time, I couldn't find a way to open it, so I had no choice but to hand the wine to me.

"Now these people who do business, really, you have such a complicated wine business. You can't even open it, how can you let people drink. ”

Seeing that I skillfully opened the bottle, my father did not forget to accuse the merchant, I think he was trying to hide something, right?

I filled the glass in front of my father and me, then re-covered it and put it in front of my father.

My sister also took out a bottle of juice and poured it for her mother and Yaoyao. At the suggestion of the mother, the family toasted together to celebrate this rare reunion.

After thirty years of wine and five flavors of food, the atmosphere began to warm up little by little. The words of his father, who is usually not good at words, have gradually increased, and they are still the stories of his young travels.

Mother was worried that his chatter would make Yaoyao unhappy, so she spoke out many times to stop it, but her father's emotions that had been suppressed for too long were released at once, and she couldn't stop at all.

Yaoyao didn't show any impatience, but listened patiently to her father's story with relish.

These stories are already familiar to us, so they don't feel new.

It's the first time Yaoyao heard about it, and she thought it was very novel, and she echoed a few words from time to time. I didn't think it mattered, I frequently clinked glasses with my father, who was talking about it, and the eyes of my mother and sister were about to roll to the back of their heads.

The atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic, and the father's mood became more and more excited, and his voice also raised a lot, and the drunkenness became significantly stronger. I have begun to slurred my speech, and I have lost my logic in speaking.

Mother understood and told us to leave first, and she was responsible for cleaning up the table and father. Yaoyao wanted to help, but was dragged out by her sister, and I followed them out of the room.

Standing at the door, looking at his drunken father, who was pulling something with his mother. Suddenly, the mother raised her voice a few degrees and scolded the father.

The father, who was still dancing and talking, suddenly quieted down. There was a shy expression on his face, which made me look incredible.

I always thought that the relationship between my parents was wooden and indifferent, and I even felt that there was no affection between them at one time.

However, now I understand that they just never express themselves in words, and their feelings are hidden in the details of life.

Seeing my father suddenly become well-behaved and submissive, I suddenly had a heavy feeling in my heart, it turned out that I had been misunderstanding them.

I think they are not only so subtle to each other, but also to us. Since childhood, they may never have said a word of love, but they have done everything to love us.

At this moment, I was really relieved, as if it was only at this time that I understood their feelings and understood their love.

In the afternoon, my sister took me and Yaoyao into the city for a walk, although it is only a small county, but the prosperity is no less than that of Shenzhen.

High-rise buildings are lined up, traffic is busy, although it is the Spring Festival holiday, but the popularity is obviously much more prosperous than Shenzhen.

Shuttling among these people from all over the world and speaking a variety of different local accents, I feel a different Spring Festival.

Compared with the young people in Shenzhen, the people here are obviously not so young, and most of them are middle-aged people who are about the same age as their parents.

There are even quite a few old people with gray hair interspersed with them, and the years have left deep furrows on their faces, but also left calm.

Most of them, like their parents, wear gray-coloured, old-fashioned clothes. Lingering in front of various stalls, he bargained with the stall owners in Mandarin mixed with a strong local accent, became emotional, and from time to time he came up with two sentences of hometown dialect.

My sister took Yaoyao and me to the shopping mall in the highest building, and it was clear that the prices of the things in it were not cheap.

"Yaoyao, my parents asked me to buy you two sets of clothes, they were afraid that they would bring you here and you would be embarrassed, so let me bring you over."

"You can pick whatever you like, and they give money anyway."

As soon as she entered the market, her sister told Yaoyao the purpose of her trip, and she didn't forget to pat his bag after speaking.

The meaning is obvious, that is, I want to tell Yaoyao that her parents have given her no less money.

I didn't expect my parents to make such an arrangement, let alone my sister to bring us here.

I've been to this city a few times before, and it's always been a place we stay away from, because the most basic things in this place are likely to cover a month's salary of an average person.

Yaoyao has lived in such a family since she was a child, how can she not see the value of the things here, and naturally knows how much courage it takes for ordinary people to walk in here to consume.

"No need sister, I have clothes to wear, uncles and aunts work so hard to earn money, leave the money to them and let them buy clothes by themselves."

"Their own clothes, they will buy them, and they are here to buy clothes for you today. If you don't buy it, I won't be able to pay it back, and they will be unhappy. ”

"So you're welcome, just pick what you like. You don't want to make us unhappy because of you. ”

Sister's words obviously made Yaoyao stunned. The lethality of these words is naturally not something that Yaoyao can bear, and she can only stop at me for help.

I know that if I don't spend money today, my parents will be unhappy, as my sister said. But if she really spent this money here, Yaoyao would definitely not be happy.

"Let's go to the pedestrian street, I think the clothes there are more suitable for her."

"What kind of pedestrian street to go to, Mom Laohan specially asked me to bring Yaoyao here to buy it, it's rare for them to be so generous."

I naturally know that it is rare for them to be so generous, how can two people who are usually picky of themselves to the extreme, willing to spend so much money to spend in such a place to spend.

If it weren't for Yaoyao, I guess they would only look at this place from afar for the rest of their lives, and they would feel luxurious even approaching here, right?

Yaoyao saw my sister's resolute attitude and once again cast a pleading gaze at me, so I naturally knew what she was worried about.

"Let's go, sister. If Yaoyao really went here to buy clothes today, do you think she will feel comfortable? ”

My words obviously put my sister in a dilemma, on the one hand, the parents' entrustment, and on the other hand, I had to take care of Yaoyao's feelings.

"Mom, the old man specially told me to buy it here, if I take you to the pedestrian street, they know that I can't pay for it."

My words had obviously shaken my sister's determination, and my tone was obviously much weaker. Seeing that she had begun to waver, Yaoyao cast an encouraging look at me.

Obviously, I wanted me to strike while the iron was hot, so that my sister would give up the idea of entering here to consume, and I nodded to her with a magnitude that my sister couldn't see.

"Little question, if you don't say it, I don't say it, Yaoyao doesn't say it, who knows where the clothes were bought? When we divide the rest of the money, they won't know. ”

In order to completely dispel my sister's concerns, I made a joke with her. After listening to me, Yaoyao and her sister laughed at the same time, and then turned around and walked towards the pedestrian street at the same time.

We spent the whole afternoon walking back and forth in the pedestrian street, which also gave me a real insight into how terrifying a woman's talent for shopping is.

People who are usually tired after walking a few steps are stunned and strolled around the pedestrian street for four hours. It wasn't until the lights were on and my parents called us to urge us to go back that I finally stopped the car and rushed home.

By the time we got home, my father had already woken up from his wine and was helping my mother put the food on the table.

When he saw us coming back, he immediately greeted us with a smile and sat down. When my mother heard the voice, she also came out of the kitchen, and when she saw the shopping bag in my hand, she was slightly stunned, and then quickly adjusted.

Then beckoned us to wash our hands and get ready to eat, and she quickly turned back to the kitchen and got busy.

Although my mother's expression only changed briefly, it still fell into my eyes, and Yaoyao on the side was blocked by my tall figure, and she didn't notice her mother's abnormality.

For as long as I can remember, my mother has been doing things in a hurry. So as soon as we had washed our hands and sat down, she came out of the kitchen with her apron on and put the last dish on the table.

As soon as her mother sat down, her sister put the rest of the money spent in the afternoon in front of her, and her parents were stunned when they looked at the thick wad of money on the table.

"You gave me the rest of the money to buy clothes for Yaoyao, and I took her to XX shopping mall, but she refused to buy the clothes inside. We later went to the pedestrian street to buy it, and it was not as expensive as a piece of clothing in XX to buy this large pile. ”

"You kid, didn't you ask you to take Yaoyao to XX to buy clothes? Yaoyao's family conditions are good, and she didn't wear the clothes on the side of the pedestrian street, you are really, what can you and I do? ”

"Far away, you too, you are with Yaoyao, don't you know what Yaoyao usually wears? Why don't you take Yaoyao to XX to buy two sets of better clothes, wait a minute, Yaoyao still thinks we don't pay attention to her. ”

"Yaoyao, you stupid boy, your uncle and aunt gave all the money to your sister, just to ask her to take you to buy two decent sets of clothes."

"The conditions in our family are not as good as those in your family, but my uncle and aunt really feel sorry for you as if you were their own daughter, and asked you to go to XX to buy two sets of better clothes, why don't you buy them?"

Mother's words made the smile on Yaoyao's face unnatural. Obviously, because of Yaoyao's family background, they have always thought that Yaoyao is an arrogant rich daughter.

What they don't know is that the rich family in their eyes often wears cheap T-shirts for more than a dozen yuan a piece that they bought from the Internet, and sits with me on the side of the road and eats barbecue with their mouths full of oil.

They don't even know that the rich daughter in their eyes has never bought any more expensive clothes for themselves than mine.

It is impossible for them to know that the rich daughter in their eyes doesn't care about the value of things at all, they only care about being cared for.

Yaoyao smiled awkwardly, and the way she wanted to speak and stopped making me feel distressed. I reached out and squeezed her hand tightly, then took the money my sister had placed in front of my mother and put it in her pocket.

"Mom, old man, Yaoyao has lived in a privileged environment since she was a child, but she is not the kind of girl you imagined."

"You don't have to worry that she will change her opinion of me and change her evaluation of our family because of our family's poor conditions."

"If she really is what you think she is, she won't be with me, do you think I look like a rich man?"

"Don't think about it anymore, my Yaoyao is different from what you imagined. You don't have to do anything deliberately, you can just keep it the way you normally. ”

"She will surprise you, so don't do these strange things anymore, you yourself feel uncomfortable, Yaoyao will also feel very uncomfortable."

"You have to believe me, and you have to believe Yaoyao, we all have our own judgments and opinions. Money has never been her goal, what she wants is your son and me. ”

My brazenness attracted four pairs of white eyes, including Yaoyao, and at the same time, the once embarrassing atmosphere finally eased.

"Okay, I'll keep the money for you first, and I'll spend it for you when you get married. Anyway, the money I earn with your old man is your two siblings in the end, and you spend it the same now or in the future. ”

Mother's words made the three of us red-eyed in an instant. Yes, they spend their lives all their lives, and in the end, they just want their children to live better.
