On this day, the weather was still good, and large clouds were floating in the blue sky, looking especially pleasant. There was no cold wind blowing, and the sun was shining warmly. October in the golden autumn was like a warm and quiet girl, making one feel happy both physically and mentally.
But at this moment, I am not happy, a heart is always hanging in the air, not daring to fall.
My parents and aunt have arrived at the Xingyun hotel, and we are standing at the door together.
I was afraid of an accident. I was so scared. I comforted myself over and over again. Ding Ge and I had gone through so many setbacks. God couldn't have punished us all the time, could he?
But I was still nervous, more nervous than when I had dinner with Ding Ge's parents.
Although it was calm on the surface, there was already a wave in his heart.
My mother gave me a gentle look. She patted me on the back and asked, "Xing Yun, I didn't have time to ask you before. How did Ding Ge's parents suddenly change their minds and want to come to your wedding?"
I was stunned. I didn't expect my mother to ask such a question. I didn't want her to know about Dinggebaba's request for the bridal gift and the car, so I replied perfunctorily, "It's just... They saw that there was no way to stop them, so they agreed. Anyway, we're going to get married anyway. Once, Ding Ge came back and told me that they agreed, and then we had a meal together."
My mother smiled faintly and said to me in disbelief, "Your mother, I've been teaching for a lifetime, and I've seen too many children who lie. I can tell at a glance if one person is telling the truth. Xing Yun, some of the lies you've told me in the past have not been exposed, but this time, tell me honestly, why did they agree?"
Looking into my mother's eyes, I felt as if I had become a child who would never grow up again. An emotion was growing in my heart. I took a deep breath and tried to say to them in a relaxed tone, "Ding Ge is their daughter. They really accepted me and accepted the fact that we were together. But they also said that Ding Ge bought the house, took the money for the renovation and the wedding, which was unfair to them. They wanted me to give them 50,000 yuan for the wedding gift, and buy us a car, and they would agree to attend our wedding."
I told the truth.
My father asked from the side, "Did you agree?"
"I must have agreed." My mother's eyes sparkled and she said, "How else would they meet us?"
I smiled bitterly. My mother obviously had something to say.
"I already gave them the money for the gift."
"Do you have enough money?" My mother asked.
"I borrowed from brother hui. He said he had some savings. I'll return it to him as soon as possible." I didn't hide the money I borrowed from my cousin.
My mother pointed at me and said, "You're going to trouble your brother again!"
My aunt smiled and said, "Let's just leave the two of them alone."
My dad frowned and asked again, "What about the car?"
I really didn't want my parents to worry about money. I didn't want to talk to them about it, so I quickly said, "Just leave it alone."
"You child, let's not care. Can we not care? We only have one son like you." My mother glared at me and said.
My nose ached at what my mother said, but I gritted my teeth and said, "You really don't have to worry. It's still a few months away. I'll definitely be able to save some money by then."
I knew that my parents would definitely help me when they found out about my predicament, but now that they have retired, there is no income other than the pension, and they also need to live, how can I ask them for money again?
I'm no longer seventeen or eighteen years old. I can't count on them for anything.
I owe them too much already!
My mother sighed and asked again, "Xing Yun, tell mom and dad that Ding Ge's parents agreed, but how did they treat you? Are you still looking down on you? What was their attitude when they told you about this? Is it a gentle tone or is it rude?"
"Mom..."
"I must know about this." My mother said firmly.
"They're very nice to me. Don't be so complicated. They didn't force me to buy a car right away, did they?"
My dad took a deep breath and said, "They really don't ask too much. I believe they should respect Xing Yun."
My mother said to me with a heavy heart, "Xing Yun, indeed, their demands are not excessive. Your father and I have discussed it before. We can't let Ding Ge give all the money alone, can we? It's not fair to dinger! Your parents don't have any face. Hey, your parents don't have much ability. They've been teaching for a lifetime, and they don't have any savings. But when you get married, even if they sell the house, they have to marry you."
A strong emotion hit my heart hard, and my eyes became hot, and I almost cried. After calming down, I said to my mother, "Mom, what are you talking about? How could I let you sell the house?"
Hey, listening to my mother, I regretted telling her about it.
I said to them again, "I told you, don't worry about the money. There's only one car missing right now. We don't buy it that expensive. I'll borrow some from Hu Zi Old Gao for the hotel's income. I can still get the money out."
Of course, my mother knew my temper. She looked at me, sighed, and said nothing more.
Not long after, Ding Ge and her parents came.
The first time the parents of both sides met, there was not much awkwardness. Everyone laughed and chatted casually. Although I knew my mother had a knot in her heart, it didn't show.
Then I led everyone upstairs into the private room.
Ding Ge and I, the younger generation, were like frightened deer. We were scared the whole time, but we still had to keep a faint smile and didn't talk much. We just listened to a few adults.
This meal was much more harmonious than I expected, and the betrothal and the car were brought up again. Ding Ge's face changed when he heard this, as if he was particularly afraid of what my parents were feeling, but my parents were very understanding, and the conversation was very pleasant.
Everyone knew perfectly well that they did not mention the unhappy things in the past.
Looking at everyone sitting together, I was a little relieved to be able to walk to this day, it was not easy. Previously, I was especially afraid that my parents would not be happy with dinger's parents, and that Ding Ge's parents would look down on my parents. Too much worry, too much worry, was really like a mountain pressing on me.
After dinner, Ding Ge and I both breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, my mother talked to me alone. She told me that if money was more difficult after that, she would ask me to speak to her. I could only nod perfunctorily, but I never thought of asking her for money.
Then, after sending off the parents, Ding Ge and I went back to the bakery to have a cup of milk tea to calm our nerves.
Today, the meeting of the parents of both sides, can be said that Ding Ge and I have taken a step forward in our marriage, feeling quite good. Since our engagement, buying a house, renovating, meeting the parents, we have been moving forward, moving forward, step by step.
Ding Ge asked me worriedly again, "Xing Yun, do your parents really agree with my father's request? Did they have any complaints? Are you unhappy?"
"No." I drank the milk tea and calmed down, "Didn't you see that just now? They were very happy."
"What if they don't show it?" Ding ge pouted, looked at me, smiled and said, "If they really have a problem, I really hope you can consider what I said before, or I can talk to my parents again, or we can lie to them together."
"No, they really don't have a problem." I held Ding Ge's hand and comforted her, "We're really getting married. No one is stopping us, no one is unhappy."
Speaking of this, I frowned again. My parents were certainly happy that I could marry a girl like Ding Ge. But now what I'm worried about is that my parents are still worried about the money and can't help worrying about me.
Ding Ge blinked, shook my hand, looked at me and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
I curled my lips, shook my head, and said, "It's okay. I was just afraid that they would secretly prepare money for me. They always do this. I really don't want them to save for me anymore, eh."
"Then don't take it."
"You don't know them. It's not about whether they want it or not. It's about whether they want it or not." I sighed helplessly, letting my mother know that I'm worried about money. She must be more worried than I am.
"Then what should we do?" Ding Ge asked.
"We have to hurry up and buy the car." I thought for a while and said to myself, "I really have to make time to earn money."
With the income of the restaurant, it definitely can't be done. I can't help but think, how can I make money again?
Ding Ge was also thoughtful.
Ah, this is the real world. We can't do anything without money.
At this moment, lin ya walked towards us and said, "Otherwise, I'll sell you my car."
I could tell that Lin Ya really wanted to help us, but how could I take advantage of her like this? I shook my head and said, "You haven't bought this car for long. It's not too bad to sell it."
Ji Ze also walked towards us and asked, "Why, do you want to buy a car?"
I nodded and said, "I have this plan."
However, there was a lack of funds!
"A friend of mine has opened a shop here. If you want to buy it, you can go and have a look. If I ask, I will never ask you for a high price. I can guarantee that!"
When I talked about picking up a car, my heart felt heavy, and I couldn't help but think, if at the end of our marriage, I really couldn't afford to buy a car, I really didn't buy a car, what would things be like? How would Ding Ge's parents react?
