Chapter 63 Honeymoon
The sweetness of the wedding diluted the slight unhappiness, and Guan Min's parents returned to Northeast China very satisfied.The young couple planned to postpone their honeymoon to the winter vacation because their workplaces were busy.

The two people quickly got into work, and their respective leaders were very pleased that the young people were motivated and motivated.The old man was even more proud, feeling that his idle young master had finally found a good wife and could take care of him and make progress seriously.

But there was still one person in the family who was dissatisfied. The old lady waited for her son and daughter-in-law to go to work, then used the spare key to go to her new home. She complained while thoroughly cleaning the house where her in-laws had lived.When Guan Min came home from get off work in the evening, she felt very uncomfortable when she saw that the bedroom was covered with new sheets and quilts.First, my parents only stayed for a week. Before leaving, they washed all the used sheets and quilts and put on new ones, and the house was cleaned before leaving.It's obviously very clean and tidy, why do you have to replace it?There is also some resistance to the fact that her parents-in-law are moving in with her. She doesn’t understand that after getting married, shouldn’t they live separately?It’s not like we don’t have a house, so why do we still live together?

An Lei felt at ease and persuaded Guan Min: "My mother is here. There are people cooking and cleaning the room. How about you go home from get off work and have ready-made meals?" Guan Min didn't say anything. She couldn't make things too tense when she just got married.Even though he was reluctant, he reluctantly agreed.

Within two days, An's father and mother came over.Guan Min opened the door after get off work, changed his shoes and went into the house. The house was extremely lively.The old man was leaning in the middle of the sofa watching the news, the old lady was playing an octet in the kitchen, and the house was filled with the smell of fireworks.After changing clothes, she came out and planned to go to the kitchen to ask if she needed help. Her mother-in-law pushed her out and said that she was used to doing it alone and that she could help clean up later.Guan Min turned around, feeling a little uncomfortable with his hands tied up, thinking about it, he went back to the bedroom.

An Lei arrived home half an hour late after working overtime temporarily, and the food was already on the table.The young couple washes their hands and eats, and the whole family is enjoying themselves.After dinner, An Lei pushed his rice bowl and went back to the house to play games. An's father and mother were leaning on the sofa watching TV series.Guan Min consciously put away the dishes and waited until the kitchen was cleaned up.Seeing that the sofa in the living room was already occupied by an old man, and the Anti-Japanese War drama was playing on the TV, I moved a small stool to sit on the edge and chatted with him. I felt that it was very boring, so I had to go back to the bedroom.

After a week, Guan Min tried to communicate with An Lei. "Are our parents going to live with us long-term?"

"What's wrong?" An Lei buried his head in the computer game, absentmindedly.

"Don't you think it's a little inconvenient?" Guan Min said carefully.

"What's the inconvenience? It would be nice to go home and have ready-made meals."

"But, I want to have some alone space with you! Husband." Guan Min lay on his shoulder and acted coquettishly.

"Wait for me and this game will end soon." An Lei tapped the keyboard quickly.

Guan Min took back her hand, looked blankly at An Lei who was just getting up to play, and sighed softly.There were many details that she couldn't bear to share, but she didn't know where to start.

The old lady filled the kitchen refrigerator with all kinds of meat and vegetables, even the corn and pumpkins given by others. She had no place to put the yogurt she took home even in the large double-door refrigerator.The old man lay half-legged on the sofa every day, watching the news and anti-war dramas. The house was buzzing all day long. He couldn't watch his favorite variety shows. He couldn't sit on the sofa or stay in the living room.The elegant bean-colored coffee table I bought was piled with various Chinese and Western medicines. Medicine boxes, wine bottles, and small fish and fish were piled up in a mess.There are all kinds of clothes hanging on the balcony every day. The most important thing is that my father-in-law's underwear is hanging there.You can hear your father-in-law's deafening snores from across the living room at night, and on weekend mornings when you want to sleep in for a while, the old couple often start tossing around before six o'clock. The old man brushes his teeth and spits out phlegm loudly, while the old lady pings. Starting to make breakfast with ping pong...

Guan Min became more and more unwilling to go home, always busy at school until very late, and only went home after An Lei returned.She felt that this was not her own home, and she had to change all her habits according to An Lei's home.

She tried to communicate this issue with An Lei, but always compromised with his indifferent attitude.But the resentment in the heart accumulates more and more. Love only sees the advantages of the other person, but marriage magnifies the shortcomings of the other party infinitely.The passion gradually faded away in the ordinary days of daily necessities. After the initial sweetness, there was endless running-in, quarreling, compromising, quarreling again, and compromising. After that, some gradually calmed down, and some fell apart.

Until one day, Guan Min didn't go home until 7:00 after working overtime. When she walked in, she found that all the food had been put away.The mother-in-law was sitting on the sofa with an unhappy look on her face, and the atmosphere in the room was a bit strange.Guan Min was confused and didn't say anything. When she returned to the room, she saw An Lei sitting by the bed waiting for her instead of playing games.She looked at An Lei and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"

"Didn't I tell you yesterday that dad's birthday is today?" An Lei was annoyed.

Guan Min's mind went crazy. What's worse, she was in a bad mood recently and had many things to do at school. She actually forgot such an important day. "I'm sorry, I'm really too busy." She quickly changed her clothes, walked to the living room, took her mother-in-law's arm and said, "Mom, there are too many things at school recently, I'm really too busy, I was wrong. Please don't Angry, Dad, I’ll give you a gift tomorrow!”

The old man, who was leaning on the sofa and watching TV, looked unconcerned. "It's okay. I'm not a young man. I'll just have some noodles and go. It's not a birthday. It's better for young people to be busy."

Guan Min just breathed out, and her mother-in-law spoke: "You are busy, so you can't forget your dad's birthday. This is only the first year. Besides, I have been coming back so late every day recently. Is it really that busy? I come back late, and I don't You know that if you make a phone call, the whole family will be waiting for you alone, and you have to wait for someone to remind you to eat. This meal has to be cooked several times a day, and there are no rules at all. It is really difficult to take care of..." An's mother complained in a long-winded way. , while pulling her arm away, he got up and walked towards the bedroom.

Guan Min sat blankly in the corner of the sofa, shrinking his hands and feet. Suddenly, he felt sad, his mouth was pursed and his eyes were red, and tears fell down.She hurriedly raised her hand to wipe it off, secretly seeing that her father-in-law didn't pay attention, got up and quickly went into the bathroom to wipe her face.She looked at the aggrieved face in the mirror, took a few deep breaths, wiped it clean and tried to force a smile.

"I will give Dad a replacement gift tomorrow. I will definitely remember it next time." Guan Min said softly to An Lei, who was sitting beside the bed.

An Lei relented and came over to hug her shoulders and put their heads together. "Honey, I know it's not easy for you, so I'll just give you a call today."

Guan Min turned his head, took a breath to hold back his tears, and twisted his body to break away from An Lei's embrace.Turning around and leaving the house, the kitchen hadn't been tidied up, and the chopping board was covered with crumbs of meat. She rolled up her sleeves, lifted the chopping board vigorously, and rinsed it under the faucet.With the sound of water, tears flowed down uncontrollably.There was cold food on the table, shiny under the light, looking greasy and without any appetite.

An Lei stood at the door of the bedroom and looked at the awkward Guan Min. He felt very unhappy. He had done something wrong and was still so pretentious.

Guan Min brushed the chopping board vigorously, feeling very sad and angry.

"My mom celebrated her birthday last week and didn't even get a call from you, and now she's accusing me!"
