"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Yulan's voice came home while she was still moving downstairs, and her laughter spread from the first floor to the fourth floor. Xiaoming followed her like a porter, carrying several large packages of gifts with both hands, and climbed up to the fourth floor, panting non-stop.
There is a common problem in China with only-child families. Father's love and mother's love are all dedicated to the daughter. All the love is one-sided. In some cases, there may be bad habits of being spoiled and spoiled. In the final analysis, it is actually a social problem, a unique conception of China's national conditions, and a mandatory unnatural constraint. On the other hand, one-child families have accelerated China's aging process, social fault lines have become disconnected, the talent baton has widened the distance, and sudden social conflicts have become increasingly intensified.
However, family planning is a national policy, which has brought many consequences to one-child families in a period of time. The one-two-four family structure, the one-two-two family combination, empty-nest parents, family lineage gaps, and the strange social phenomenon of more boys than girls. In short, one extreme goes to the other extreme, maybe there is a deviation in the design, maybe there is a mistake in technical operation. Yulan's parents, like thousands of parents of only children, pampered and pampered their daughters and had poor hands-on skills.
The doting Yulan grabbed her father's hand as soon as she entered the house, and she was as naughty as a teenage girl. She pulled Xiaoming close to her with her other hand, and introduced her shyly and proudly: "Dad, he is Guo Xiaoming."
"Yeah." Zhou Shiqiang was in his fifties, with a rosy face and good health. His old eyes quickly scanned the young man's body.
"Call! Call me daddy!" Yulan was anxious on the side, and Xiaoming, who was usually very expressive, was like a dumbfounded fool, trembling in the face of the atmosphere of seemingly strangers.
??Fu Qingying is an ordinary working-class housewife. She has the final say in all matters at home and all contacts inside and outside. When you are older, you have seen a lot. You can tell a person's basic knowledge by just taking a look and saying a few words. Furthermore, she has a pair of old-fashioned eyes that are always critical of others and can see through a person's heart like a clairvoyant. So, while quietly observing this possible future son-in-law, she carefully watched every body movement of the young man.
"Uncle." Guo Xiaoming finally found a suitable word, with a shy, embarrassed and uncomfortable expression on his face.
Zhou Shiqiang nodded. Whether it was the young man's appearance or his appearance, he thought it was good. If there are any shortcomings in being with Yulan, it is that the daughter is extroverted and lively, while the young man is introverted and honest, talks less, and has poor language expression skills.
"This is my mother! Call me mother, hurry up!" If Yulan is the examiner, Xiaoming is the applicant. Applicants must pass the test of the examiner before he can get the ticket to enter the boudoir.
"Uncle - aunt!" Xiaoming's face turned red to the cheeks, her hands and feet felt uncomfortable, and her heart was beating fast. He felt uncomfortable when he saw Fu Qingying's critical eyes and started to instigate her.
"Hey." Fu Qingying, the mother-in-law, looked at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at her, the more confused she became: "We Yulan is an only daughter, well-educated and well-educated. She is a little princess in our family. Don't bully her."
"Aunt, I don't dare." Xiaoming said few words. He tried his best to answer the questions that should be answered, and tried not to answer the questions that should not be answered. Silence was better than turning a deaf ear.
"How is your family situation? Are your parents in good health? You have seen our family, a house of more than 100 square meters. Your uncle is a retired cadre, a public-salary family, and the economic conditions are good." Fu Qingying The meaning is very clear. The family conditions required by the in-laws that the daughter seeks should not be worse than hers at least.
"My family's situation is worse. My mother is a retired ordinary worker, and the renovated apartment only has more than 50 square meters. My sister is married and has a nephew who is less than ten years old. My brother-in-law is a civil servant. I am also an ordinary wife. An employee of a trading company earns less than 1,000 yuan a month. This is the situation." Xiaoming honestly reported the situation at home. These situations are the hardware of marriage and cannot be changed. If you want to change the hardware conditions of marriage, you must rely on your own efforts and opportunities.
"Where can you get married and live if you don't have a house?" Fu Qingying's single-minded eyes blinked and she had an idea: "No, no, how can you live if you don't have a house?"
Zhou Shiqiang wanted to play a drum and smooth things over, trying not to make the atmosphere as tense as possible. However, his wife is in charge of the family, and she takes care of everything big and small. When he was about to speak, he was severely stopped by Fu Qingying's critical remarks. As a result, he smiled, his face glowing red, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all because of the cold look from his wife.
Yu Lan was arrogant on the side, her beautiful and passionate eyes were wide and round, sending messages of love to Xiao Ming from time to time. Tell Xiaoming to calm down, what did Fu Qingying say??Listen, try not to misunderstand or create conflicts over one or two sentences. The first impression of a new son-in-law is the most important, especially that of the mother-in-law. If the father-in-law says a good word in his comments, it will be a perfect score. At this time, she asked Xiaoming to calm down, endure the humiliation and bear the burden, and just listen without getting angry. Normally at home, Yu Lan always quarrels with her mother, which is actually a matter of values. After calming down afterwards, I realized that what they said was right. They were the words of parents who cared about their daughters. Such sincere words are a kind of love. In addition to this kind of love that can be found in a harmonious family, these words are completely sincere and selfless, and there is no other kind of love that can replace them. Despite this, Yulan often quarreled with her mother, but she was the winner in the end.
"Guo Xiaoming, you have to take a stand on the house issue. We at Yulan will never marry you without a house. Marry a man, marry a man, wear clothes and eat. If you are a man, you must have the mentality of a man taking the lead. You must support yourself and do not wait or rely on you." Although your money is tight now, why not think of a way to decide this matter?" Fu Qingying's accusation was discriminatory, and at the same time she did not want the man her daughter married to be a loser.
At this time, Guo Xiaoming was in a dilemma. He really couldn't afford to buy a house. Besides, house prices were rising higher and higher. Even buying a two-bedroom house would cost 500,000 to 600,000 yuan. He had no money, so how could he express this attitude? He had no choice but to remain silent, holding his head and remaining speechless.
"I won't make it if I don't. My daughter won't marry you without a house." Fu Qingying was angry, and she was angry that her future son-in-law would not dare to take the lead in the family.
"Mom, is it over yet? I'm marrying a person, not a house." Yulan could no longer bear the harsh family atmosphere and started to quarrel with Fu Qingying.
"You have to marry, and you have to marry the house. You are my daughter, and what I say counts." Fu Qingying's high-pressure policy, coupled with the high-pressure methods of the patriarchal system, coupled with a stern look, it was another idea. The mother-in-law's words were hard for Xiaoming to accept.
"You are unreasonable. Do you want to force your daughter to find the big boss? Marry the big boss and become the mistress. If you have money, you will be satisfied with a house?" Yulan and Fu Qingying quarreled and argued with each other, refusing to give in. , this is the great courage of love.
"What's wrong with Big Boss? There is a suitable Big Boss mother who can make the decision for you." Fu Qingying's attitude is firm. She doesn't want her daughter to suffer and suffer from poverty. Why should she have the opportunity to choose love and wealth in this society that pursues wealth? What¡¯s not good?
"You can marry me if you want, but I don't want to anyway."
"Crazy bitch, it's not over yet." Fu Qingying picked up a bamboo stick and went after Yulan. The two of them were noisy and unreasonable in the house.
"Stop it all - it's outrageous!" Zhou Shiqiang finally spoke. He winked at his daughter and asked her to take Xiaoming away. Besides, Fu Qingying was so angry that she had no opponent to take the person away, so who could she make trouble with?
Yulan didn¡¯t care much, so she picked up Xiaoming and ran out. He only knows what kind of feeling Guo Xiaoming will have after this incident.
