I live in the countryside

Chapter 16 Mother and Daughter Quarrel Again
When Gao Tingting got up the next day, she heard voices from outside, it was Qiao Churan and Chen Mei.

However, the mother and daughter are in a high mood.

"Mom, I told you that the land at home can be handed over to me. You just came back yesterday, why did you turn around and hand over the land at home to your aunts and aunts?"

"I had an operation, and I can't do heavy work. Your dad is doing it alone. How much can he do? If you don't plant it for others, why should you be in a hurry to grow grass? Don't tell me what kind of cantaloupe you want to grow. Don't waste it. , and wasting time and money, it’s not worth it, and you don’t have to worry about the land at home, you can go back to work after the new year.” Chen Mei insisted while lying on the bed.

"I've already told you!" Qiao Churan became angry, his eyes were red: "You're like this, I don't plan to go back to the provincial capital at all!"

"You child!" Chen Mei was so angry that she wanted to hit someone: "Is it okay to be stubborn with me? It's useless to be stubborn. If I don't agree, you can never come back to farm! Every day you are whimsical, you can't stay in the city, you are stupid If you want to come back, I am your mother, and I can still watch you be stupid, but you are stubborn with me now, and in a few years, you will know that I am doing it for your own good!"

"If you don't let me plant my own land, I'll rent someone else's." Qiao Churan said anxiously.

"Qiao Churan, I think you want to piss me off!" Chen Mei was furious.

It was the first time she was so angry with Qiao Churan since she was a child.

Qiao Zongming also hurried in from the outside. Seeing the mother and daughter's sword-stretching posture, he hurriedly said, "What is this for?"

He helped his wife to lie down, and then looked at Qiao Churan: "Ranran, your mother hasn't recovered yet, what can't you say properly?"

Chen Mei had just had an operation, and the doctor said she needed to rest. Qiao Churan thought of her temper just now, broke out in a cold sweat, and felt huge guilt in her heart: "Mom, I'm sorry."

Her eyes were red and her voice was choked.

Chen Mei was not feeling well either.

For a long time, the mother and daughter have never blushed. For more than 20 years, who would not praise the Qiao family? , and quarreled several times.

Chen Mei also felt uncomfortable. Her daughter was still young, and many things were taken for granted. She didn't know that life was difficult, and she would be hard for a lifetime. She hoped that her daughter would avoid detours.

She turned her face away and said nothing.

Qiao Churan returned to the room with a sad face.

Gao Tingting said helplessly: "What are you doing? Why are you so angry with your mother? My aunt has just returned from surgery. If something bad happens, you will regret it and cry."

Qiao Churan was also afraid for a while when she thought about it, but she pursed her lips and did not speak.

I was afraid that if I opened my mouth, I would cry.

Gao Tingting has known Qiao Churan for many years, and knows that she is so strong, she is not forced to, and she will never cry in front of others.

She has known Qiao Churan for so long, but she has never seen Qiao Churan cry.

Oh, I saw it, when the Zhou Dynasty passed away.

At this time, I couldn't help hugging her: "Okay, okay, I know you didn't mean it, and if you have something to say, tell your aunt clearly. It's not a matter of bitterness and hatred. Auntie has her own stubbornness, and you have your own ideas." , like our mother’s generation, the education and cognition formed by growing up are different from ours, what’s the matter, we have to look at it from the other party’s point of view.”

Qiao Churan didn't make a sound for a long time, and after a long time, she hummed silently.

Gao Tingting said: "I think there is a communication problem."

Qiao Churan couldn't deny that she came back because of Chen Mei's matter, and knew that the disease would be cured not in one or two months, but in one or two years, so she had her own development and plan. She disagreed, but she kept trying to get her to agree. She was doing it for Chen Mei's own good, and Chen Mei felt that she was doing it for her own good. The two of them were so deadlocked but they never had a serious talk.

Gao Tingting sighed: "You haven't told your aunt about your physical condition, have you?"

Qiao Churan shook her head. She has been taking body conditioning medicine for a while, but she took it secretly. Originally, she was worried about Chen Mei's back disease when she came back. It's not high, I don't know how anxious it will be at that time, the family will have to spend money to see a doctor, and she will be even more reluctant to have an operation.

"According to me, you should make it clear to Auntie, otherwise, it's no way to go on like this. Look, you both have good ideas for each other, but you don't know that the other party has misunderstood because of many unknowing things. In the end, good intentions turned into misunderstandings, how unworthy."

Qiao Churan was silent for a while, "I see."

Although she is good friends with Gao Tingting, Qiao Churan was still very embarrassed to let her see the situation at home: "I'm sorry, I originally asked you to come to play, but I made it difficult for you instead."

"Why are you being polite to me?"

*
In the end, Chen Mei took the initiative to talk to Gao Tingting.

"Tingting, you are on good terms with Ranran, can you persuade her for me?"

Chen Mei looked worried: "Is she still hiding something from me, why is she unwilling to go back to the provincial capital? Did she get bullied in the provincial capital?"

Chen Mei thought about it, and thought of this possibility. According to her daughter's temperament, it shouldn't be like this.

Gao Tingting couldn't laugh or cry: "Auntie, there's nothing wrong with it. Ranran is doing well in the provincial capital, and she hasn't been bullied."

With her personality that kills everyone at work, a person who dares to tear Party A apart won't have the turn of others to bully her.

"Then what happened to her?" Chen Mei really couldn't figure it out.

Gao Tingting sighed lightly: "Auntie, why don't you let Ranran come back?"

"We rural people study hard and work hard to get into college. We just don't want to come back to be farmers and spend our whole life facing the loess. Isn't it good to work in the city, sitting in an office every day and blowing on the air conditioner? Buy a house in the city, live in a high-rise, and never come back to this small mountain village for the rest of your life."

Gao Tingting can understand Chen Mei and Chen Mei's thoughts.

These are the normal thoughts of this generation of rural people. The only way to change their destiny is to study, go out of the small mountain village, never come back, and abandon the hometown where they were raised.

But her little sister, not only did not abandon her hometown, but came back with a perseverance that no one else had, wanting to shake her hometown like a fly shaking a tree.

But she also knows that a woman like Chen Mei who has spent her whole life in the countryside only knows that the offices in big cities have air conditioning, and what she pursues is a working environment that is not exposed to the wind and sun, but she does not know the pressure on young people today. how big.

The reality is more cannibal than they imagined.

"Am I wrong?" Chen Mei was surprised.

Gao Tingting smiled softly: "Auntie, I knew Ranran when I was a freshman. We share the same dormitory and are fellow villagers, so we have the best relationship. She has the best academic performance in our dormitory. We still sleep in bed every day." At that time, she had already got up and went to the library to read books. She was serious in class, and her test scores were in the front row every time. She won the school’s highest scholarship every year. , like a full-bodied Xuan who applied for a second degree, leaving no time for himself, and sometimes going out to work part-time as a tutor on weekends."

Chen Mei knew that her daughter had received a scholarship and went to college for four years. The tuition was paid for by the student loan, and the living expenses were paid for by the scholarship. She did not ask much money from her family.

"Ranran has been like this since she was a child." Chen Mei looked a little proud: "She has always worked hard. Children in the countryside are early parents and mature. Many things can be solved by themselves, and your uncle and I don't need to intervene."

Gao Tingting listened, but felt distressed for her best friend. She also understood the envy in Qiao Churan's eyes when she looked at her roommate who was sent to the dormitory by her parents to arrange everything when the university started.

Who wouldn't want to act like a spoiled child in front of their parents?Who wants to mature precociously and become an adult while still a child?

Gao Tingting continued: "But Ranran is also very tired. Auntie, you may think that life in a big city is good, you live in a high-rise building, and the office has air conditioning, but you don't know how hard the daily work is, and there are endless things to deal with. Customers who can’t handle it, the mobile phone is turned on 24 hours a day, and they sleep until midnight and call people to the company at random. Since Ranran went to work, in the provincial capital for the past two years, there is no day when she goes to bed before two o’clock in the morning. It's not uncommon to stay up all night for two or three days. When she first graduated, she looked like she still had some flesh on her face, but now, she's probably only about [-] catties, and she's lost more than ten catties."

This is true, her daughter is indeed a lot thinner now than when she was in college, every time Qiao Churan comes back, Chen Mei will talk to her, ask her to eat more, eat better, and Ranran also agrees every time But every time we met, she was thinner than the last time, and Chen Mei was heartbroken.

I thought she lost weight like others and skipped meals.

"Two o'clock..." Chen Mei looked shocked: "How can I bear this?"

"Yeah, how can you bear it?" Gao Tingting shook her head and said, "Auntie doesn't know, Ranran has been taking medicine, right?"

　Independent children are precocious, but every child, who doesn't want their parents to act like a baby on their knees, but life forces them to be precocious and sensible.
