After nearly four hours' flight, we arrived at Jishi, the capital of Maya.
Zhushi is still cold in spring, but Jishi is as hot as summer.
Ji City is an international tourist city. Among the nearly two million people, the Chinese people account for nearly 30%. Fang Zhe's family is the best among the Chinese people.
When we got out of the airport, ah Zhan came to meet us with four men in black suits. They were all serious and wearing sunglasses. When they met Fang Zhe, they all bent down and called me "young master" and then called me "young grandmother".
This kind of address is basically no longer used in the mainland. Only in those ancient TV dramas can we hear such an ancient and feudal address. So when I heard someone call me "little grandma", I was in a trance, thinking that I had heard it wrong or had passed through.
Fang zhe poked me with his arm to show me not to be in a daze. I nodded to the people in black and said it was hard.
"Welcome home, sister-in-law." Ah Zhan saw that I was very happy. I saw that he was also very happy.
"Long time no see, ah Zhan. I miss you very much."
as like as two peas, I got on the bus with Fang Zhe. The three cars were exactly the same, and one of them was guarding each other. Our car was caught in it.
Passing by the center of Jishi City, I saw the logo of Xingde group on the billboard, but it was in English, not Chinese.
I asked Fang zhe quietly whether he would like to speak Chinese or English after meeting his family.
My English is not very good, but I can barely cope with the basic communication. When I was in college, I took part in English speech, but I didn't get the place.
Fang zhe said that he could speak Chinese directly. His family all speak Chinese.
The car stops in front of a Chinese style building and says it's a villa, but it's much bigger than the ordinary villa. Moreover, there seems to be more than one building within the wall. There is a traditional stone lion at the door, and then two golden characters are written on the black plaque: Fang Fu.
At first glance, I'm really in a trance. I think I came to a movie and television residence in the mainland and saw the ancient buildings used for filming. But it's not. It's Maya. It's not a building for filming. It's Fang Zhe's big house.
Before you go in, it's a bit daunting to see the building first. The solemnity and solemnity made people panic.
Entering the house, I feel wider. All the elements of the building are Chinese style, ranging from pavilions to a chair.
As long as you enter the house, you will know where the owner of the house comes from without introduction. Even in the mainland, in addition to the film and Television City, there are few such pure Chinese style houses.
There was a middle-aged woman standing at the door. She was full of jewels and had a very delicate appearance. At a glance, she knew that she was a beautiful woman when she was young. She looked at us getting out of the car with a smile on her face. Fang zhe called her mother respectfully.
I quickly bent down to salute and called Madame.
The title "madam" was set by myself. The first time I met her, I called her "mother" and so on. I felt that I would force my wife to recognize her relatives. I asked her to show respect and keep a proper distance.
Another important reason is the identity of Fang Zhe's mother. According to Fang Zhe, his father was conferred the title of "Datuk" by the royal family. Datuk can be divided into three categories. Fang Zhe's father is the most senior one.
This is the highest title that Chinese can be granted in Maya. According to the royal rules, if a man is granted the title of Datuk, his spouse will automatically become "Nadin". This is a kind of noble status, which is equivalent to the title of "Gaoming lady" in ancient China.
So the beautiful woman in front of her is not only Fang Zhe's mother, but also the real lady Datuk. It can be said that she deserves to be called lady.
Mrs. Fang looked at me politely, with a smile on her face and a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, slowly following me. Maybe it's because I just came out of the Buddhist hall. There is a kind of sandalwood smell on my body.
I think of my first interview with the company after graduation. I was looked at and questioned like this. Last time I wanted to get a job, but this time I wanted to get my mother-in-law's approval.
And this time, I feel more scared than last time. There's no job to look for, but if my mother-in-law resents me, I'll face endless family conflicts. I'm a divorced person. I understand the pain of family conflicts.
"It's hard. Go in and sit down. Let the servants serve tea. " Mrs. Fang answered softly.
The two words "servant" and "fengcha" remind me once again that the family is hierarchical, and the atmosphere is different from that of our mid levels villa.
I never regard sister min as servants or call them "serving tea". I don't know why, I feel a little uneasy.
The living room is very large, and the decoration style is very luxurious. There are some calligraphy and paintings on the wall. The position of the sofa is also put according to the primary and secondary points. Fortunately, I still have some common sense in this aspect, so I took the initiative to take the next seat.
Fang zhe took a look at me. I got up quickly and took out the prepared gift. "When I first met you, I wanted to give my wife some gifts, but my wife didn't lack anything. I heard that my wife believed in Buddhism, so I prepared a string of Buddhist beads. It's not a respect. It's a little token of my heart."I felt nervous and incoherent, but I managed to make it clear.
Mrs. Fang took the box gently with a smile, opened it and looked at it. Then she praised it delicately. She handed it to the servant beside her and motioned her to put it away.
I picked the one for a long time, but she just took a glance. I've thought about the result, but I'm still a little disappointed when I face it.
Fang zhe took a look at me and appeased me with his eyes.
"Mom, are you all right?" Fang zhe asked softly.
Mrs. Fang raised her face and said, "how do you mean to ask? How long has it been since you came to see me? I think you forgot that you have a mother here, right? When you have a daughter-in-law, you forget your mother. "
I was particularly embarrassed when she said that in front of me. It's like it's my fault that Fang zhe doesn't come home.
But I couldn't participate in their mother son dialogue, so I had to listen in silence.
"Mom, my company is busy and I have to fly around, so I really haven't come to see you for a long time. I'm sorry." Fang zhe apologized like a docile child.
"I know you are busy, but you don't come back to spend the Spring Festival with me. How can you explain that?" Asked Mrs. Fang.
Then, without waiting for Fang Zhe to answer, Mrs. Fang's eyes glanced at me, "Suya, tell me, isn't he right?"
This is a big question. What can I say? If I say Fang Zhe is right, it's right not to visit his mother. Does his mother not strangle me?
If I want to say that Fang Zhe is wrong, Mrs. Fang will surely say, since you know that he is wrong, why don't you persuade him?
I hesitated for a moment, forced to smile, "Fang Zhe is really busy, so this time, came over."
"He has time for you, but not for me?" Sure enough, Mrs. Fang has a plan for me.
"In fact, he doesn't have much time to accompany me, but I spend a lot of time with him working overtime in the company." I whispered.
"Yes, mom, how can I have such a good life to stay at home and play all day? I have so much work, but for Suya's help, I can't help. I'm here. Now that I'm home, don't blame me. We're all so nervous. " Fang zhe said.
"Are you still nervous? If you don't fight for a day, you will go to the house to uncover tiles. I'm your mother. People don't know you, and I don't know you? To send you back to the mainland for education when you were young is to let you accept the education of authentic Chinese culture. I don't think you have learned the authentic Chinese culture, but you have learned a lot. It's better to go to school in Maya. " Mrs. Fang scolded.
I suddenly find it funny that Fang zhe would be sent to school in Zhushi to receive orthodox Chinese education. However, elder brother Fang zhe has become the school bully of Zhushi No.1 middle school. If Mrs. Fang knew what Fang zhe was like at school, she would be even more angry.
"What are you laughing at?" Mrs. Fang suddenly looked at me.
No, I'm happy in my heart. How can I show it? It's a gaffe!
I quickly put a serious face, "I see the wife and Fang zhe mother and son love, let people envy, feel very warm."
I can't help it. I have to answer the wrong question.
"My mother-in-law is still well. Why don't you come and get together?" Asked Mrs. Fang.
It took me nearly ten seconds to realize that the term "in laws" refers to my mother.
"My mother, she He's dead. " I said sadly.
Mrs. Fang said softly, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have mentioned it. I'm really sorry."
I managed to smile. "It's OK. I'm used to it. Seeing my wife reminds me of my mother. The whole family is safe and happy. "
I finally got Mrs. Fang's approval, she nodded again and again, "yes, I have always said to zhe'er, wealth and status is just a dream, the most important thing is the safety of the family. In the end, no one can take away the things that they are fighting for. Why are you so tired? "
I quickly nodded, agreed with her, but also mildly expressed his opinion, "Fang zhe actually understands the importance of family, but he is in his position, can only enter, can not retreat, behind him there are group companies, there are tens of thousands of employees, there are so many shareholders and executives, he has to be responsible for a group of people, he is actually very hard."
I feel a little more regret when I finish. I'm afraid that it will arouse Mrs. Fang's antipathy again. That's too bad.
Fortunately, Mrs. Fang didn't object this time. "What you said is that when his father was there, he only knew how to eat, drink and play. Later, when his father was gone, the burden of the whole group and family was on his shoulders. Those clansmen and major shareholders only know how to look at the efficiency of the company, how much money they can share, and how to care about my son's hard work. Zhe'er is not easy. You should take good care of him. "
I breathed a sigh of relief and finally found a harmonious rhythm with Mrs. Fang. Let me take good care of Fang Zhe, which is a kind of recognition to me.
This time, the interview, basically is passed, trembling like treading on thin ice, really tired.
