good old days

Xiao Yujun wanted to have a good talk with her mother. She was having lunch at her workplace after get off work at noon, and Xiao Shuping, who was just two blocks away from her workplace, came over.

The workplace is close, so even if Xiao Shuping doesn't go to Gao's house, she usually comes directly if she wants to find her daughter.

"Mom, why are you here?"

Xiao Shuping gave her the bag he was carrying, "Inside are the sweaters I bought for my children. It's cold. You can take them back and let them wear them."

Xiao Yujun was moved. Her mother had been living alone since she got married, but she always thought about her family.

Thinking of what she was about to say soon, she felt a little unbearable.

But Gao Weihua had already told her about her mother's problem many times, so he still opened his mouth after hesitation.

"Mom, did you tell Aunt Zhang and Jiang Xinyu and her mother-in-law what to say? Weihua is bent on building a restaurant now. Don't hold him back in the future. And Jiang Xinyu, every time they talk about things and meet her With both the child and her mother-in-law, the kind of thing you are worried about will not happen. What you worry about is nothing. If you say that in the future, if it spreads, it will destroy their cooperative relationship."

Xiao Shuping did not expect that her daughter, who had always been obedient, would say these words.

She frowned, "Do you think I oppose Weihua's project because the current situation is unstable? Isn't it just for you?"

"Men are prone to problems when they are capable. You are soft-tempered. If he makes a mistake in the future, you can only go home and cry to me! That is to say, monogamy is now monogamous. Otherwise, look at how many good men there are. Something? If he works well in the unit, he must be bound by rules. If he gets wild, can you control him? "

Xiao Yujun retorted: "He is not the kind of person you said. He said that he would take me with him when going out to do things from now on. I want to learn from him, and he is happy. If he really has other thoughts, I can't even guard against him."

"Also, Jiang Xinyu is Weihua's partner like Zhou Qi. She is not the kind of person you said. Her husband is excellent and her family is harmonious. I believe in her character."

Xiao Shuping said with a sullen face: "Do you believe it? Why do you believe it? Women who like to dress up are inherently wild. Honest and serious women will not spend all their thoughts on dressing up. If it were not to please men, they would spend so much money. What are you thinking about?"

This was the first time Xiao Yujun heard her mother say such ugly and explicit words.

Women who love to dress up are just crazy? Just to please men?

Why would her mother say such a thing?
"Mom, to tell you the truth, I don't like to wear gray clothes, black, blue, gray, and khaki. I don't like any of those colors of clothes! My favorite clothes are still the red ones I wore when I got married. , the color is bright and beautiful, I just like it. I don’t want to cut my hair to my neck every time. I think I look more pleasing to the eye if I have long hair. Bright clothes make people energetic. What’s wrong with long hair? Even if I comb my hair, I feel that I look good. Mom, I also love beauty, and I also want to dress myself up. According to your theory, am I also a wild-minded woman? I am not an honest and serious person either?"

After Xiao Yujun finished speaking, she realized that her attitude just now was a bit too much, but she didn't regret what she just said. What her mother said before was wrong!

Both men and women have the right to dress themselves brightly. Who doesn’t love beauty?
After saying those words, it seemed like all the shackles on her body were removed.

Looking at the blue-gray top and black pants she was wearing, she wanted to change them all tomorrow.

Xiao Shuping was so angry that she trembled. She paranoidly said: "Women who like to dress up are demons, just to please men. They have nothing and only want to use their appearance to achieve their own goals."

For the first time, Xiao Yujun felt that her mother was unreasonable.

"Mom, this is a new society. Times are progressing, and your thinking must also progress. Monogamy guarantees the stability of marriage. Now there will be no such thing as carrying the aunt home in the past..."

"Snapped"

Xiao Yujun received a slap. Because she hurt Xiao Shuping's embarrassing past.

She was originally from a noble family, but in the end she married a soldier who trampled on her dignity. What was shameful was that she once thought about living a good life with him, but in the end he divorced her.

After so many years, the wound has never healed, and it hurts when you press it lightly.

Xiao Yujun covered his face and his eyes were already red.

For the first time in so many years, she was so rebellious, "Mom, you are wrong. Women dress up not because of wild ideas or to seduce men, but because they have the right to love themselves. If men really have other thoughts, it is impossible to prevent them. Yes, I believe in Weihua and his partners. I will not only support but also participate in Weihua’s work in the future. Please don’t hold him back behind his back. If you do that again, you are deliberately not letting me live a good life. , want me to be driven back to my parents’ home.”

After Xiao Yujun finished speaking, he covered his face, pushed open the office door and ran out.

Xiao Shuping was hit a bit hard today, and he didn't recover for a long time.

Her daughter is disobedient. I wonder who led her astray?
...

In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, Jiang Xinyu received a letter from Chen Xiuyun.

Her stepfather, Zhou Shunyi, is about to be transferred to the Shenghua Chemical Plant in Northern Hebei Province. Her mother's job is also being transferred. Once it is finalized, she may settle down in Northern Hebei Province before the end of the year.

"I think the middle school in the city is pretty good. I wasn't willing to go to Jibei Province with him at first, but I thought that I would be much closer to you and Yuzhu there, so I agreed to move the place..."

After reading the letter, Jiang Xinyu was so happy that she almost jumped up.

Wang Sumei, who was stirring the pot, smiled and asked, "What are you happy about?"

Jiang Xinyu said with a smile: "My mother, she and Uncle Zhou are about to be transferred to Northern Hebei Province. It's so close. It takes a long time to drive to see her."

Just giving me money is nothing, my mother still has to take care of me. It's great to be so close. It's much more convenient for her to visit her. Unlike in Yu Province, she can only go back twice a year, and it's a lot of trouble along the way.

"Mom, if they come to Northern Hebei Province, let my mother come here to celebrate the New Year."

Wang Sumei was also happy, "That would be great if we were transferred here. I can talk to your mother again."

"The soup is almost ready. Let's go find Chen Yi's father after we finish eating. When we come out from there, we can see your two courtyards, Teacher Yu."

The happiest person was Jiang Yan. He clapped his little hands and said, "Look for grandpa, look for grandpa."

That time, Chen Jinhua had someone contact Chen Yi about Yu Minmin. Chen Jinhua's guard told Chen Yi that he was unwilling to undergo surgery, and Chen Yi wrote a letter specifically to talk about Chen Jinhua.

Chen Yixin asked them to advise Chen Jinhua that he should do the surgery.

Wang Sumei didn't mention anything after hesitation last time because she couldn't be responsible for Chen Jinhua's life, but Chen Yi said in the letter that she could only follow orders.
