Text: Chi Heng Picture: From the Internet
I was thinking about going to Yang Shi’s house soon. When I saw his parents, I didn’t fall asleep all night.
The next day, I got up before dawn, cleaned up myself, and rushed to the supermarket to buy gifts for Yang Shi's parents. Of course, I had to treat it seriously for the first time when I met.
After the cashier checkout, he walked out of the underground supermarket and Yang Shi's phone call came.
Sitting in Yang Shi's car, he was still a little nervous, so he asked him repeatedly: Will your parents like me?
Every time, Yang Shi smiled patiently: Of course, I finally hoped that I was in love, how could they not like it?
With a nervous mood, I finally arrived at Yang Shi's house.
Yang Shi took the key to open the door and saw his mother sitting on the sofa in the living room, playing with her mobile phone.
Yang Shi called her mother, and I called "Auntie", and Yang Shi's mother raised her head and forced her to pull the corner of her mouth, as if she was smiling.
I came in with a gift, but she didn't even look at it. Yang Shi took the things in my hand and put them on the table. He also said: Mom, you see, the gifts Qingqing bought for you are all carefully selected by her.
Yang Shi's mother said "um" and buried her head in playing with her mobile phone again.
To relieve the awkward atmosphere, Yang Shi took me to his room.
When eating for lunch, Yang Shi's mother just shouted symbolically, "I'm eating."
sat at the table and took a look. Yang Shi’s father added four dishes, one meat, two vegetables and one soup. The meat dish was fried shredded pork , and the soup was cabbage tofu soup .
Yang Shi tells a joke from time to time to adjust the atmosphere, but no one agrees.
Her mother even said sarcastically: "Don't eat or sleep, don't learn to talk too much from the humble people. I told you that you should date high-quality people. If you don't listen, see what you are being led!"
I know that she said this to me. In his mother's eyes, I am the kind of person who is a small family and cannot be on the table.
But I didn't dare to speak, and Yang Shi stopped talking in an instant.
After eating this meal dullly, I took a break for a while, and then I escaped from this suffocating environment.
Yang Shi's mother was cleaning the room and didn't send me it. Yang Shi's father went to take a nap and ignored me.
Yang Shi and I walked out of his house one after another. He also saw my unhappiness and took the lead in breaking the silence: "My mother is such a person. She speaks out loud, don't take it to heart."
"Do you speak out loud? I think it was Yan Yuxin. I haven't married yet, so I just gave me a look. I don't know how to treat me in the future! So are you, you Mom scolded me, why don’t you talk for me? "
Yang Shi didn’t care: "But a moment of verbal talk, I endured it. If I argue with her, what’s the point of having a big deal?"
The first time I met, my mother-in-law gave me a look, and Yang Shi also looked at his mother. I suddenly began to doubt, is this relationship really suitable for me?

My name is Li Qing, a girl born in the countryside and raised in the countryside. After junior high school, she went to Shenzhen to work.
Later, my brother who had a good relationship with me fell seriously ill and died after leaving a lot of debts. My sister-in-law, who married from another province, ran away quietly because she could not bear the heavy debts at home.
Facing the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, I had to return to my hometown from Shenzhen and chose a deliveryman with relatively high salary.
The first time I met Yang was in his rice noodle shop.
It was lunch time, his store was full of people, and several deliverymen were waiting to pick up the meal. When he handed me the packaged food, I didn't check it, so I rode my bike and left. After a while, I was complained because I gave the wrong order.
Yang Shi also received a bad review. For this matter, he also called me to apologize.
This time, we got to know each other, and as we went to his store to pick up meals more and more, we became more and more familiar with each other.
When he didn't receive an order several times, he asked me to wait in his store, and even asked me about my well-being. As time and time, our language became more and more.
A year later, when Yang Shi confessed to me, I hesitated for a long time because the gap between us was too big.
Yang Shi’s family has three stores, his brother and sister-in-law are all run by him, and his parents run a family, plus Yang Shi’s rice noodle shop. In addition to a few mouths, our family also has a lot of bad debts behind it.
I rejected Yang Shi several times on the grounds of a huge family background. Yang Shi laughed at me in what age I am still a good match, and I repeatedly promised not to look at me with tinted glasses because of my family. Then I felt relieved and decided to date him and try it.

Yang Shi also felt a little embarrassed when he saw his parents' expressions for the first time. He knew that I was learning to draw, so the next day he specially bought me the tablet that I had been fascinated with for a long time so that I could practice on the tablet in the future.
I accept his kindness, but I am still a little scared of his mother. If Yang Shi and I really become a family, his mother will also become my family and live together for decades.
Who can tolerate people living together? The nose is not the nose, the eyes are not the eyes, and they speak sarcastically every day? It would be strange if
is not crazy!
Yang Shi also repeatedly stated to me that although his mother has a strong personality, she is not bad, and he will definitely let her mother accept me.
I don’t know what Yang Shi said to his mother. When I came to the door with a gift for the second time, although she didn’t seem so happy, at least she didn’t feel so disgusted as she started.
I took the initiative to chat with her and help her with housework. Slowly, she would make a few words with me and would also reply to my questions.
People's hearts are warmed up little by little. As long as I treat her sincerely, she will definitely treat me sincerely. I told myself this and asked myself to do so.
My relationship with Yang Shima is also constantly heating up due to my initiative.

On the afternoon, I did not accept an order and practiced painting in Yang Shi's store. Yang Shi also sat next to me because his business was deserted.
Suddenly, he said, "Let's choose a day to get married."
I was shocked, my hand shook, and a line that was twisting like an earthworm appeared on the tablet.
Yang Shi didn't seem to notice my surprise, looked into the distance and said, "I'm 28, I'm still alone. My brother is only one year older than me, and the children are five years old. I also want such a cute child. Let's get married, okay?"
I closed the tablet, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "I want to marry you too, but there are a few questions, I have to talk to you in advance." To make it clear. My parents only have two children, my brother and I. My brother has an accident. My parents are old. I can't ignore them. And my niece Miaomiao, I must have brought her to marry."
When I heard me say this, Yang Shi's originally warm face slowly became solemn. After a while, he said: "Last time, I was able to convince my mother to accept you because I promised her that your parents would not want you to worry, and your niece would also be adopted by your cousin.In this situation, how can I talk to my mother? "
I really didn't expect that he would say this, so I replied firmly: "I only have such a niece, I must raise her. As for my parents, it's even more impossible for them to have nothing to rely on in their old age! "
Yang Shi's tone was a little angry: "Why can't you just let her follow your parents, they can take care of her, or adopt her to your cousin. Anyway, he has no children, so why do you have to raise her? "
I also have my own persistence on this issue. I want to raise my niece, because my parents are old and can't take good care of her, and also to repay my brother for his good deeds to me over the years.
"What should I do if my mother doesn't agree? "Yang Shi is also very persistent.
This is indeed a very big obstacle between us, but I don't want to face it at the moment.
I didn't answer Yang Shi's words, and he didn't speak anymore. We each did our own things with great worries and dared not delve into this issue.

We are getting along with each other in a distance, seemingly calm, but in fact everyone is a little worried.
Soon, the Mid-Autumn Festival is here, Yang Shi invites our family to celebrate the festival at his house.
Although Yang Shi repeatedly invited her, my mother refused on the grounds that she was too poor and was motion sick, and could not go far.
Although she was unwilling to go, she said that we cannot make people think we are stingy and rude people.
So she went to the chicken pen to catch two chickens, and put several large pockets of local specialties such as eggs, peanuts, walnuts, etc. into Yang Shi's car.
also specifically asked Yang Shi to tell his mother that this is our wish and let his mother not dislike him.
Yang Shi promised confidently that his parents would like it and invited them again.
My mother insisted on going, so my dad was naturally embarrassed to go. Finally, I took Miaomiao with me.
In fact, I know that they were in the countryside all their lives and rarely dealt with people in the city. They were afraid that they would embarrass me when they went there, so they refused cruelly.
At the Yang Shi's house, his brother, sister-in-law and nephew had arrived.
Jelly sat on the side of the coffee table and played with toys intently. I asked Miaomiao to play with him, and I went to the kitchen to help Yang Shi's mother cook.
Yang Shi's mother usually buys things in the supermarket, and it is difficult to buy real local goods, so the pure natural products brought to me brought to me I like it quite well. When I feel better, my attitude becomes much more kind.
We talked about it in a sentence.

After a while, a "wow" cry came from the living room, and then it continued.
Yang Shi's mother and I quickly dropped the things in our hands and ran out of the kitchen. Jelly was crying with her eyes closed. My sister-in-law, who was originally sitting on the sofa playing with her mobile phone, was wiping the blood on the corner of Jelly's mouth with paper, comforting him "don't cry."
Miaomiao stood at a loss on the side of the coffee table, pulling the corner of her clothes, and her face was full of fear.
Yang Shima hurriedly ran towards the jelly. When she approached Miaomiao, she pushed and Miaomiao staggered and fell to the ground.
Everyone went to soothe the injured jelly. Yang Shi's mother shouted heartily and even said, "I told you a long time ago, don't play with the wild girl. If you don't listen, let's get it now!"
I pulled Miaomiao up and asked her quietly what was going on.
Miaomiao whispered, they started to have a good time, she fell in love with a big bead, and was about to play, when the jelly was hunching from the opposite side to grab it, his hand was placed on a crystal ball. As soon as the crystal ball slipped, the corner of his mouth hit the corner of the coffee table, bleeding.
However, Yang Shi's mother didn't ask so many reasons. She was full of anger and kept complaining: "Come on holidays! What festival? My baby grandson's mouth was broken. Who did you find if it broke, can you afford it?"
I apologized carefully: "Auntie, I'm so sorry. It's all the children who accidentally took care of it. If it's done, it should be fine."
Yang Shi's mother did not reduce her anger because of my apology: "Can you apply medicine at the corners of your mouth? What should I do if you take it in your stomach? I shouldn't call you Come on! Your niece is also a bad broom star. She killed her father and ran away from her mother! This happened when she came to our house for the first time. If you really marry, what good things would happen! "
My heart that originally wanted to continue to be low and small fell to the bottom of the valley with her indiscriminate feeling: "Auntie, we have something to say, don't vent our anger on the children. Besides, this is not all Miaomiao's problem. Please don't say anything to hurt Miaomiao!"
"Don't like to listen? If you don't like to listen, you can leave! I won't keep you!" Yang Shi's mother's attitude was very firm.
Until this time, Yang Shi, who had been watching from the side, said weakly, "Mom, don't say that."
Seeing his son speak, Yang Shi's mother "hummed" and stopped talking.
The atmosphere in the living room had dropped to freezing point. Yang Shi's mother was comforting her with jelly in her arms, his sister-in-law wiped the blood on the floor with paper, and his brother played with his phone, as if it was nothing to do with him. Yang Shi stood behind me, looking embarrassed.
Before, I occasionally looked at his mother's face and could still bear it. After all, the gap between us was there, and for Yang Shi, I was willing to bear it.
But today, I saw the reality clearly. Her dislike for me is in my heart. I will not treat me differently just because I took some local specialties. When conflicts arise, Yang Shi will not defend me at all. I have to face the difficulties of this family alone. What is the chance of winning?
and Miaomiao. If she was allowed to live in this kind of environment of either beating or scolding every day, wouldn’t I have harmed her?
I pulled Miaomiao and turned around and opened the door and went out.
Yang Shi chased me out and told me not to be impulsive. He also said that this time, the previous efforts may have been in vain.
I no longer had hope for him, so I spoke coldly: "If the previous efforts were wrong, it would be fine even if they were in vain."
shook Yang Shi's hand, and Miaomiao and I left without looking back.
I may feel pain for a while to give up this relationship, but if I settle down, I may feel pain for the rest of my life, and may even take Miaomiao's life.
If this is the case, just give up early while everyone is still not in love. It may be a good thing for me and Miaomiao.
Because in my heart, compared to the richness of material things, I hope Miaomiao will grow happily in a healthy environment.
