Chapter 59
That night, Xiao Qiang had just entered the house after running in the car. His mother, who was busy cooking in the kitchen, heard the sound and shouted with a smile: "Qiangzi, you are back!"
Seeing his mother's cheerful look, Xiao Qiang asked with a smile while changing his shoes: "Mom, look at your happy face today. What happy event did you encounter?"
Xiao Qiang's mother said while cooking: "Qiangzi, today your Aunt Yang told me that there is a girl in the neighboring village who is pretty good-looking and two years younger than you. Do you think you can go over and meet her someday?"
It turned out that I was asked to go on a blind date!Since confirming his relationship with Xiaoju, he hasn't bothered to tell his mother yet!Firstly, the time he spent with Xiaoju was too short and the relationship was not stable yet. Secondly, he also knew his mother and had always opposed him looking for girls from other places. This was not because of regional discrimination, but mainly because he thought there would be too many troubles after marriage.
After hearing this, Xiao Qiang behaved as usual and replied impatiently: "Mom! How many times have I told you that I don't like blind dates, why do you always force me?"
After hearing this, Xiao Qiang's mother poked her head out of the kitchen: "I mean Qiangzi, you have to go see her no matter what this time. I heard your Aunt Yang say that this girl is really good. You said you are not too young." Now, you can’t always reject blind dates. If you continue like this, when will you get married, and when will mom be able to have her grandson!"
Xiao Qiang wanted to change the subject, so he quickly urged: "Oh, Mom, I'm starving to death. You hurry up and cook, I'm still waiting to eat!"
Hearing her son say he was hungry, Xiao Qiang's mother quickly comforted her: "Okay! Just wait a moment, there's just one more dish. You can sit on the sofa and watch TV first. That blind date thing your Aunt Yang said will be discussed later." The two of us chatted while eating."
Xiao Qiang sat on the sofa, thinking about Xiao Ju's pretty smiling face, but he was struggling in his heart whether to tell his mother that he had found a girlfriend later.
After Xiao Qiang's mother cooked the food, Xiao Qiang brought the food to the dining table, and the mother and son sat down to eat and chat.
Xiao Qiang's mother said: "Qiangzi, look at the young men in our village who are the same age as you are all married, and some children are running around. Seeing other people's grandsons shouting grandma, I feel so sad in my heart. What a surprise! Your father passed away early, and it’s not easy for me to work hard to support you by myself! Don’t always reject blind dates, get married and start a family as soon as possible, and my mother will be relieved of this worry. "
Xiao Qiang lowered his head, picking up the food and said nothing. He was thinking about how to introduce Xiaoju to his mother!
When Xiao Qiang's mother saw that her son was silent, she sighed and said, "Qiangzi, why don't you look at how old you are? Why can't you be considerate of me as a mother? Give me some time, I can give you a reply to Aunt Yang and meet you someday." As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Qiang's mother began to wipe away her tears.
When Xiao Qiang saw his mother like this, he knew that she had started to use tears to force him again.For so many years, every time my mother wanted to force him to do something, she would cry.
Seeing that his mother has been anxious and angry about his marriage during this period, Xiao Qiang thought for a while and decided to tell the truth: "Mom, please stop crying now. In fact, I already have a girlfriend."
After hearing this, Xiao Qiang's mother immediately stopped wiping her tears, stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Qiangzi, please tell mom, what kind of girl is she looking for?"
When Xiao Qiang thought of Xiaoju, he couldn't help but feel proud: "She is beautiful, gentle, kind, frugal, able to endure hardship, and she is still a college student."
When Xiao Qiang's mother heard Xiao Qiang's description, she beamed and asked with a smile: "I didn't expect my son to be so capable and find such an outstanding girl. Which village is she from?"
Xiao Qiang knew early on that his mother would ask this question. If he wanted to fall in love freely, he must find a girl from Beijing. This was a rule that his mother had made long ago.But what Xiao Qiang has always wanted to find is a beautiful college student, and he has been searching for it for so many years. He knows that given his own conditions, it is impossible to find the girl he likes in Beijing.
Xiao Qiang didn't answer and just kept his head down while eating.
Seeing Xiao Qiang like this, Xiao Qiang's mother immediately understood. His face darkened and he asked angrily: "Tell me the truth, is this girl from out of town? Didn't I tell you earlier? No. Why don’t you listen to someone from other places?”
Xiao Qiang knew there was no escape. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and replied seriously: "Mom! Why can't I find a girl from other places? What's wrong with girls from other places? Aren't you also from the mountains in the outer suburbs of Beijing? What happened to my dad back then? Don’t you dislike you?”
Xiao Qiang's mother said in a disgusting tone: "No matter how far I am from the suburbs, it is still Beijing. If you find a girl from out of town, you will wait until your home becomes a hotel in the future, right? She has seven aunts and eight aunts, Why don't we all run to Beijing? By then, the family will definitely be in a state of constant turmoil."
After hearing this, Xiao Qiang said angrily: "Mom! Why do you think of the worst? Besides, it's me living with her, not you, so why are you worrying about this?"
After hearing this, Xiao Qiang's mother felt that Xiao Qiang might have been obsessed with that little girl. She quickly warned: "Qiangzi, you are not married yet! You will know from now on that if you find an outsider, you will meet someone from outside." If you encounter all kinds of troubles, don't disobey the old man." Seeing that Xiao Qiang ignored her, Xiao Qiang's mother continued, "If you don't want to see the girl introduced by Aunt Yang, that's fine, I'll watch. Your high school classmate Zhang Chunxiang is also very good, I was still asking about you last time!"
After hearing this, Xiao Qiang replied with a look of disgust on his face: "Mom! Don't mention Zhang Chunxiang again! Look at her figure and appearance, how can she compare with Xiaoju? She is also lazy and greedy. She is so old and she is not married yet. Get out, I won’t consider her!”
"Xiao Ju? The name of this out-of-town girl you're talking about is Xiao Ju? Judging from the name, she's from the countryside, right?"
"What's wrong with the countryside? We're from the countryside too! I'm still a high school student, but I've graduated from a serious university!"
"Oh! Then she must have a lot of brothers and sisters, right? No, I can't just watch you jump into the fire pit. Break up with her quickly, and don't continue to date her."
"Mom! You are not done yet! Please stop interfering in my marriage! The out-of-town girl I talked about before is not to mention how virtuous she is. If you hadn't forcibly separated her, I would have been married by now. This time You're like this again! What's wrong with me just wanting to find a beautiful female college student? With my conditions, do you think I can find one locally!"
After hearing this, Xiao Qiang's mother became furious: "Xiao Qiang! I don't care what you think, in short, I will not agree to your finding another place!"
"Mom, it's me getting married, not you. I won't listen to you this time. Anyway, I've made up my mind. You agree or disagree." After Xiao Qiang finished speaking, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and put his hands on his own. Go to the room.
"You!" Xiao Qiang's mother saw Xiao Qiang returning to her room angrily, and began to cry to herself again.
Xiao Qiang became even more upset when he heard the cry of his mother next door.Although he had expected this situation today, and he also knew that his father passed away early, and it was not easy for his mother to raise him by herself, but she always interfered in his life forcefully, which made him feel suffocated.
After Xiao Qiang stayed alone in the room for a while, he went out to find Jiang Qinghua.
Arriving at Jiang Qinghua's house, Xiao Qiang told him the whole story and asked, "Brother, you always have ideas. What do you think I should do?"
Jiang Qinghua asked: "Do you love Xiaoju?"
Xiao Qiang replied: "Nonsense, I must love you!"
Jiang Qinghua said: "I think if auntie sees Xiaoju, she won't be so opposed. How about you arrange a meeting between them?"
Xiao Qiang said angrily: "No, Xiaoju and I have just established our relationship. It's too early to bring her to see my mother. In fact, no matter who this person is, my mother will probably not agree. She is You don’t want me to find a girl from out of town.”
Jiang Qinghuahua asked dully: "Why is Auntie so insistent against finding a girl from out of town? I think as long as two people like each other, no matter where they are, it shouldn't be a reason to object?"
Xiao Qiang sighed and asked, "What about you? If you find an out-of-town girl you like, will your parents object?"
After hearing this, Jiang Qinghua smiled and said: "My parents never engage in regional discrimination. On the contrary, they think that young people from other places who dare to come to Beijing to work hard are very enterprising and can endure hardships. If Xiaoju were my girlfriend, my parents would I will definitely like it very much.”
Xiao Qiang heard something was wrong with what Jiang Qinghua said, and he asked angrily: "What do you mean your parents like it very much? I'm afraid you like it, right? I saw something wrong with your eyes when you looked at Xiaoju last time."
Jiang Qinghua quickly explained: "Brother Qiang, look where are you thinking? How could I fall in love with Xiaoju? I understand that friends' wives should not be bullied."
Xiao Qiang snorted: "I'm sorry you kid doesn't dare."
Jiang Qinghua gave Xiao Qiang an idea: "Brother Qiang, otherwise, you will use delaying tactics. As time goes by, when my aunt sees it, you will leave immediately. The two of them have a good relationship, so they may agree." .”
"It seems that this is the only way." Xiao Qiang felt that besides using delaying tactics, there seemed to be no other better way.
