Chapter 18 Section 4

Lao He and his wife haven't seen their daughter for some time, so they are very happy.Lao He personally cooked a table full of delicious food.He Lin is hungry. She hasn't had a serious meal at home these days, so she ate a token lunch at Xiaoya's because she is busy at work.This stomach has long been exhausted, and I am at my mother's house again, so I don't care about my image, so my appearance is unsightly. First, the careful father couldn't sit still, "Your house didn't fire?" He Lin's mother: "Isn't Chuanzhi's mother here? You can't stop firing."

He Lin covered her face, "The dishes they cook are too salty, I can't get used to them..." "Then you just do it, can you still starve yourself?" "That's right, just say less salt, it's not good for the human body to consume too much salt, tell your mother-in-law." He Lin didn't speak.While eating, the phone rang, and He Lin's father answered, "Chuanzhi..." Then "um", "um", and looked back at He Lin, "I see. You are at home, don't worry. Have you had dinner yet?" and hung up with "um" and "um".

Old He returned to the dining table, "Girl, are you quarreling again? Chuanzhi said that your mother-in-law and the others haven't eaten all day, and they are looking for you everywhere, but you still haven't turned on the phone..." He Lin snorted, and couldn't help feeling warm in her heart, hum, yell at me again! Professor Yu glanced at her, "You're married and have a new family, why are you still running away and disappearing like a child?" "If his mother hadn't come, would this have happened? Everything has changed since his mother came, and I don't care about anything..." He Lin retorted instinctively, "I haven't done anything at home!"

Old He was not happy: "Your mother-in-law is a country woman and doesn't know much about things. You can just work harder? How can you be like being in our house when you are married, right?" "She still thinks I don't have a job!" It's time for He Lin's mother, "You should also find a job. You have been playing for several months. If you don't go out, you will forget about your major. You are out of touch with the times. This society changes almost every month. Let me tell you, we The children in the family have to go out to work and earn money to support themselves. Otherwise, what are you doing to spend so much money on college education? No matter whether you are married or not, a woman can only be financially independent and find her own world if she has a job!"

He Lin is depressed, why didn't she find the feeling of the Allies in her mother's house?The rice is no longer fragrant, the tea is no longer sweet, and I sat on the corner of the sofa and got sulking. He Lin's father chased her away: "Hurry up and go home, Chuanzhi is in such a hurry, maybe there is a ready meal waiting for you." Hmph, I don't know how to lie on the phone.He Lin ignored it. "Why don't you let your father take you back?" He Lin's mother suggested. He Lin stood up abruptly, ran to her former room, slammed the door, hugged the pillow and continued to feel wronged.Aside from the discomfort in my heart, a small voice came up: Could it be that I was wrong?Could it be that I have done too much?

I spent a sleepless night in my room that night.Maybe the wind blows on the street during the day, and the stomach is ruined by drinking cold water. The next day, I feel dizzy, feel uncomfortable, and my voice has changed. I quickly grabbed two pills, so I have more reason to stay at my mother’s house up. In the morning, her aunt who loves to visit her sister's house appeared happily in the living room with two lettuces. When she saw He Lin, she was so happy. She hugged and kissed her. It warmed the little daughter-in-law's hurt heart. came back. "Smelly girl, why is your little face so yellow? Are you starving without eating?"

Her older sister, Yu Huaming, accused her daughter of not being very sensible. After getting married, she just quarreled with her natal family and never returned.So the brother-in-law also took the opportunity to report all the news he got on the phone to his sister-in-law, and also counted on this "world affairs expert" to help persuade his spoiled daughter.This sister-in-law is not simple, she is justified in everything, who dares to refuse to admit defeat even when she yells and scolds? "Ouch!" Yu Huaqing's loud voice really rang out, and said to her niece, "Why is your mother-in-law here? You don't know that it's easier to ask God than to send God away?!"

"I didn't ask her." "Why did someone come to your door without inviting her? What did I tell you earlier? Your mother-in-law has five children and three sons. Since it is not fashionable for a daughter to take care of the elderly in a traditional rural family, the three sons also have to take care of themselves." Take turns, or she lives in the country's son's house, you, and the third child, pay for it! You have to put this on the table early, and let the old lady know that you are not easy to mess with!" Old He interfaced: "Chuan Zhi said that the old lady came to stay for a while on something. How could it be as serious as you said about going online?"

"Why is it not serious? The serious ones are yet to come. What do you know?" Then he turned to He Lin, "Speak clearly, she will not be so delusional about you in the future. You just need to start making her eat well and drink well." Comfortable, she will still think about coming here in the future, she will depend on your house to eat and drink your food every day. Parents have a strange temper, that is, they love to bully the thinnest and most filial ones, and love the ones that are the worst things Yes! Also, as long as your mother-in-law lives with you, how can she be alone? The brothers and sisters in Chuanzhi will definitely make your home into the Wang family’s Beijing office in the name of looking after your mother! It’s still your home, it’s her The family is in the revolutionary base in Beijing! You just wait to be revolutionized!"

He Lin felt relieved, "That's right, they turned against me and accused me of being lazy, not doing housework, not washing clothes by hand, and not serving her precious son. It's really unreasonable!" Yu Huaqing and his niece sang together: "What I said earlier, marriage has to pay attention to the right marriage! You are from Beijing, he is from Beijing, he is educated, reasonable, and modest. His parents are at least the same, right? They are all from the same place. , the life concept is similar, the income is similar, and they all have pensions. Who would come to make trouble for their children and look at their faces? I told you a long time ago that marrying a person is not marrying a person, but marrying his family! I can’t wait Brothers, sisters, aunts and mothers-in-law all have reasons to meddle together! Especially in rural areas, I wish only one village could support a college student, and in the future I would earn a small amount of money and not pay back to each other! No matter how good this person is, he must be discounted. I live behind the building Looking at a golden phoenix flying out of a ravine, I think it is just an ordinary child, nothing unusual, the parents look like eyeballs, that baby! That child is honest and honest in dealing with others, but when he meets His family's family affairs are a mess, his head is carved like a stone, he doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, black and white, and he and his wife fight all day long! The daughter-in-law looks like a neat person, but Following such a bastard's man is considered a bloody misfortune. He is gnawed by his in-laws' family like a bun all day long, and he is so righteous! Can he be unreasonable? The whole family has been poor for several lifetimes, dreaming They all want to live a good life, and after finally selling iron and selling pots to confess a college student, it becomes a life-saving straw. The three aunts and eight aunts all come to the door to borrow money, and it’s not enough if they don’t allow it or borrow it! You forget you How did it get out? Like a leech, it would jump on blood at the sight of it, and it would follow. The man also felt obliged to pull his illiterate and semi-literate brothers and sisters out of the fire pit. In the end, this group of people should live together. This small family has disturbed others, just like Comrade Marx said: a gang of hooligan proletarian vanguards!"

The three members of the He family looked at each other, never expecting that Yu Huaqing, who was sharp and chattering all day long, would have such a not-so-simple opinion, and even quoted Marx's words—did Marx really say that? Her sister said: "If this is the case, there is no way. Rural people are the majority forgotten by the country. They have no land ownership, no job, no welfare security, except renting a small piece of land from the state to fill their stomachs. Besides, I have no other hope, even going to work in the city is restricted. Every year our department recruits a few rural students who are shivering in the cold in single clothes. How about donating money and things to him? I can’t read it anymore... I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it, is this the peasant’s fault?” Yu Huaqing sneered: "What's the use of talking about these big things all day long? A family just talks about the family's affairs, even the country doesn't understand the big things, you, a little professor, can explain clearly in half a sentence? These days, I have nothing to do when I am full. There are so many people! Everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, don't care about the frost on the roof of others, who doesn't know that people don't kill heaven and earth for themselves!" Old He disagreed, "Chuanzhi is a good person, and my vision is quite accurate. As for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, can there be fewer quarrels? Besides, raising children in rural areas is based on ancient thinking, and secondly, it is based on practical considerations. Raising children does not prevent old age." , when you get old, you have to wait to die.” Yu Huaqing ignored them, and turned to He Lin, "Stinky girl, remember: this house was built by our family, and our house is built to keep you from getting angry! Let you live hard in your in-law's house, and harden yourself in front of Chuanzhi! In our house, you still have people kicked out, I am not usually angry! You remember it for me, from now on, in this house, you are only allowed to drive people out, and you are not allowed to run back to your mother's house in desperation to heal your injuries As long as you are still angry today, you will be determined in the future, you are worthless! You are the owner of the house and the head of the family—the hostess, find the right direction for me, don’t embarrass your parents! Follow along and lose Your aunt! Your mother is a university professor who teaches sociology, and your father also graduated from a famous school. They are both reasonable and decent people. How can you defeat those stupid fools who can't get on the stage! No way! Just throw them all out, and give your aunt some face! Go back tonight, if you don’t dare to go back, I’ll take you back and see how big the thing on the young and old’s neck is..." Then she turned her head, with a disdainful voice , "One champion comes out every three years, and there are fools every day. Some comrades are smart but are misunderstood by their cleverness. Good pre-marital property is not reserved for daughters. It is not a shameless good man who sticks after marriage. It’s a pleasure to come out, right? Putting hot faces on other people’s buttocks, rich, rich, what do I say, if I knew you would have this day!” The old He and his wife were stared at by the words. It was an age when the truth was not as good as reasoning, and they couldn't say anything else if they didn't think so. He Lin used to think that this little aunt was a sharp-tongued mother, but now for the first time, she felt that she was in the same trench, at least those vicious words could relieve hatred. After lunch, He Lin returned home in high spirits, ready to regain the feeling of being a hostess. That's right, the house belonged to her, so why did she run out when she quarreled?It is someone else who wants to go out!
