Winter night came very early. When song Qingcheng went in to change clothes, it was still bright, but when he changed clothes, it was dark outside the window.
She subconsciously looked at a clock she had just bought on the wall yesterday. It was already half past six. By rights, he should have arrived long ago.
Looking at the children watching cartoons on the sofa, it seems that they haven't realized that time has passed for a long time. Song Qingcheng didn't want to disturb the children, so she closed the curtain silently.
"Mommy, why hasn't Daddy come yet? Can you give me a call and ask? " Xiaobaozi is still not bent on watching cartoons. As soon as she got to the curtain, xiaobaozi talked to her.
Song Qingcheng came over and sat down beside the child. "It's just a little bit more than six o'clock. There are a lot of cars on the road after work. For the sake of safety, don't rush."
She was worried that the children would not understand, so she simply simplified it.
"Well, I'll watch some more cartoons." Small steamed stuffed bun a little bit lost into her arms, continue to watch animation.
Song Qingcheng watched with him, hoping that he would not always urge him. I can't help thinking, why did he delay so long?
Ten minutes' walk from his company is enough, not to mention driving. But an hour has passed.
……
Ji Zhengting didn't get off work when he got a call from his mother, asking him to go home as soon as he got off work. He knew what it was, so he didn't delay.
He came home early, and the old man and the old lady, including his mother, were sitting in the living room. However, he did not see anyone who answered the family, obviously not yet.
"Zheng Ting, are you back?" When the stepmother saw her son come in, she stood up and walked over.
Ji Zhengting nodded, then changed his shoes, and took off his coat by the way. His stepmother took the initiative and asked him, "is it very cold outside?"
"A little bit."
"Come in and sit down."
Ji Zhengting went to the sofa and sat down. Looking at the two elders sitting together, he didn't seem to be happy or excited at the moment. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
"Zheng Ting, don't blame your mother for nagging. What time is it?" The stepmother pointed to the clock on the wall, full of displeasure, "this is the first time that the heads of the two families meet. What do you mean they should be at home? Last time I said it well, but it turned out that I didn't feel comfortable and couldn't come. This time, we've been waiting here for a long time. Do they want to get married or not? If I don't want to do it, I don't want them
When Ji Zhengting looked at his stepmother, he said calmly, "Mom, what do you want?"
“……” In a word, the stepmother asked speechless. The corner of the mouth of the stepmother smoked, and in the end, she didn't say anything. In my heart, there are all kinds of bad feelings, such as chagrin, grievance, regret and remorse
But what about that? It's not that I can only swallow in my heart!
"OK, OK, maybe it's the traffic jam on the road. Anyway, I've been waiting. It's not bad for a while." The old lady spoke at the right time.
"Mom, it's freezing outside. Zhengting is so far away from home. They came back from America. It takes so long?" The mother of the season has one hundred complaints to make complaints about it.
The most important thing is that the stepmother really can't see this marriage well.
If the old lady or the old man can stand up and disagree, the stepmother must stand up and clap her hands.
The old lady sighed, "after all, how can you choose Yingjia instead of one of so many girls?"
"Ma, I can't blame it all on me. You can see what those girls look like. They are either delicious and lazy, or they come to our house for money. There are two good conditions, and they are ancestors who spend money. They have a bad temper. They can talk for two hours on the phone, and they haven't talked with me for a long time. Or I can talk with them. Can you tell me about this? "
"Well, according to you, is there something wrong with our family's eyes?" The old lady protects her grandson, but she doesn't fight for the stepmother.
"It's not Zhengting's vision that's wrong, but Zhengting doesn't focus on emotion at all now." Speaking of this matter, the heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney of the seasonal mother are all cracking.
The old lady sighed, "I used to put all my mind on my feelings, but you don't think the child is possessed. Now I'm not sure. You still have something to say. Zheng Ting, I'm so tired for you. "
"Does mom think I want to be so tired?" "If I had left Qingcheng, or Zhengting had gone to get it back, I would not have been so tired," she said
"Now you know how to regret it?" The old man who didn't say a word all the time came out fiercely.
As soon as the old man got angry, the old lady and the stepmother immediately stopped.
Just then, someone was heard outside.
The stepmother raised her ears and listened carefully. She saw that it was coming. "Mom, it should be here.""When you get there, just welcome it. Do you want me to welcome it?" The old lady sat there, unwilling to move.
The stepmother put away the unhappiness on her face, pulled the corners of her mouth, and wanted to practice smiling face first. However, she felt uncomfortable about how to practice.
Forget it. It's not for their family to practice!
Soon, Ying Xueer showed up at the door with her parents. The stepmother already stood at the door to greet her, "Xueer, come on, come on, bring your parents in."
It's kind of warm.
However, there seems to be someone behind?
After Ying Xueer led her parents in, she helped the old lady in. The stepmother looked at the white haired old lady and the fat middle-aged woman, a little confused.
"Cher, are these two The stepmother can only answer Xueer's question.
"Auntie, these two are my parents. This is my aunt and my grandmother. They heard that they came here today to discuss my engagement with Zheng Ting, so they must come and listen. I can't refuse the elder's wishes, so I brought them here with me. " Ying Xueer introduces them one by one.
The smile on the face of the stepmother was a little reluctant, this will look at the family mobilization of a, really can't laugh out, but there is no disrespect, "then quickly inside please. I'll ask the kitchen to add a few more dishes. "
"Oh! You so rich family, to guests to prepare dishes, not all one person a? There will be more food at this meeting. When will it be ready? " As soon as my aunt listened to my stepmother's words, she found something wrong.
Knowing that the VIP is visiting again today, shouldn't their family prepare 30 or 50 dishes? Two more people, that's enough. But the seasonal mother said that she would go to the kitchen to add vegetables. Obviously, they didn't prepare many dishes, which clearly means that they don't take their in laws seriously!
