My 1979

"That's true." After hearing He Fang's words, Li He was thoughtful.

Mrs. He said, "Girl, whether to give it or not is a matter of attitude, not money. Give me one yuan or two yuan. We can't care about it. After all, it's what you want. It's just a matter of saving face. If I won’t give you even a cent. In my opinion, this family is no good, it’s too bad!”

She was embarrassed to ask if she disagreed? Still don’t admit it?

I didn't take you seriously at all, how hurtful it was!

So to put it very tactfully, I can only say that there is something wrong with the character of the man’s family!

Li Yan looked at Li He, then at He Fang, and said guiltily, "Customs and habits are different in different places. Maybe they don't like this locally, maybe."

"Who are you fooling? This is, your brother and I have been here for more than a day or two. They are very particular about this. Even if they don't give it to you, they won't let you come back empty-handed. You're more precious. The one I got is a bracelet, and the one who is close will be given something to eat, a scarf, etc." He Fang said unceremoniously, "Okay, we won't talk about customs, we will just talk about human relations. It's your first time to come in, and you won't even be embarrassed. Going empty-handed?

How did they have the nerve to let you come back empty-handed?

When I see you one day, I have to ask! "

As she spoke, she seemed even angrier than Li Yan.

"This old Chen seems to be a bit too much." Li He didn't look too angry. Love between a man and a woman is not a matter of two people, but also a matter of two families. The other person's parents do not agree, so what is there to be angry about? of!

"Don't be angry. I think there's no need to take it too seriously. Besides, this is my first time here. How can someone settle down so easily?" Although Li Yan was not happy, like Li He, she was also Be open-minded.

The old lady said, "That's wrong. You girl have never suffered a loss before, so you are too arrogant. Since his parents didn't think about your affairs from the beginning, why did they blindly ask you to go to dinner?

What does it mean?

During the time we were together, the man and woman made appointments to meet each other, either to introduce someone, or to meet each other on the ridge of the field. After they had thought about it, they asked the woman to go to the man's house for a meal or something.

You say, his parents, if they are really considerate, they have to meet you in advance. According to the current practice, go to a restaurant or teahouse to get to know you as a person and find out about your family situation. ?

Call home, and then set out this score?

Isn’t this just shameful? "

The old lady peeled off the cocoon and spoke clearly and logically.

Li Yan's face turned red, and she said after a while, "I won't live with his family anymore. Let them do whatever they want."

He Fang smiled and said, "How can you think so? If you don't get along with your parents-in-law, there will definitely be conflicts in the future. You say he is caught in the middle. If he is reasonable, you will feel better. If he is foolish and filial, you will It’s a lifetime of suffering.”

"I understand." Li Yan lowered her head, not knowing what to say.

She was originally happy, and the warm and meticulous way of hospitality at her husband's family made her happy. But now when she heard everyone's analysis, she realized that this was completely different from what she had imagined!

"It's okay." He Fang also realized that what she just said was a bit harsh, but marriage can't be delayed, she had to say it, she comforted, "You guys just get along first, you can't deny his parents just once, and we'll see about it later." , I know you are busy with work now, so just focus on your work."

Li He said, "Don't say anything. You are busy cooking. I am hungry now. I will pick up the children from school."

When he came back after picking up Li Lan, he started working on a newly dug fish pond alone. The water was spring water coming from the cracks in the rocks on the mountain. The water flow was not large, but the water flowed steadily. It was much better than the pond in the old house before.

He Fang and the old lady also opened a small vegetable garden on the nearby flat land. There are radishes, tomatoes, and cucumbers that have begun to vine. In short, there are all kinds of vegetables that suit the season.

In the third month since I moved here, I haven’t bought vegetables from outside.

Of course, the couple also raised chickens and ducks, which they scattered in the mountains. They were not afraid of them running away, because they had developed a habit from the beginning, and when the time came, they would come down to the door of the house to look for food.

It's a good Xishan villa, but these domestic animals ruin the atmosphere. Sometimes the steps of the house are filled with chicken and duck droppings.

Although Li He had no choice but to let them go, otherwise he would go crazy staying in this remote countryside and wouldn't even be able to find anyone to chat with.

He and He Fang could still bear it. After all, in their free time, they could read books, learn something, and satisfy their inner world needs. But it was extremely difficult for the old lady. She could only relieve her loneliness by communicating with others.

On Saturday, He Fang came back from the chess academy after picking up Li Lan. She was happy for a while and sighed for a while.

Li He asked, "What has made it so difficult for you?"

He Fang handed him a piece of paper, "Read it yourself."

"Going to Japan to participate in a Go competition?" Li He, like He Fang, didn't know whether to cry or laugh. From the bottom of his heart, he is proud of his son. It is remarkable that he has the ability to go abroad to participate in such a high-level Go competition at such a young age!

But from a practical point of view, this is unrealistic!

No one in the couple hopes that their son will take the path of Go. It was unprecedented for him to agree to go to the chess academy, but now his son is going further and further on this path!

This is something they never expected!

"Yeah, what should I do? I'll listen to you." He Fang sighed.

"It's up to you." Li He didn't dare to make arbitrary decisions, fearing that it would become the source of quarrels between the couple in the future!

"I said? Go ahead." He Fang couldn't bear to see her son's disappointed eyes.

"That's alright. Regardless of whether he has good grades or not, he just wants to see the world." Li He was hoping that his son would not get good grades, and he might give up on Go by then. "Are you coming with me?"

He Fang waved her hand and said, "No parents are going with me. If I go, it will seem like the child is spoiled. Let him follow the teacher. I have given instructions to the teacher, so there will be no problem."

Besides, he's not too young anymore, so let him go out and exercise for a few days and learn to be independent on his own. "

In order to help Li Lan learn to be independent, she now lets Li Lan wash his own socks, make his own bed, and sometimes even lets him help work in the vegetable field.

"Then it's settled." Although Li He was also worried, if he didn't let his children learn to be independent, he would definitely have endless worries in his life!

Some things cannot be solved by money!
