My name is Li Xiaoming, I am 25 years old this year, and I am an ordinary white-collar worker. My mom and I live in an old house in the suburbs. My mother's 60th birthday is approaching, and I am working overtime in the unit while thinking about holding a grand birthday for my mother.
A few days ago, my mother suddenly called **, and her tone was a little hesitant and nervous: "Xiao Ming, my mother has something I want to discuss with you." I was busy revising a report, and without looking up, I said, "Mom, you say, I'm listening." I was so shocked that I immediately put down the document in my hand and blurted out, "What's the situation?".Mom, why did you give me a blind date without permission?I'm very satisfied with my work and life now, and I don't plan to fall in love and get married!I interrupted her with some annoyance: "Okay, Mom, I don't have time to think about this, I'm so busy with work, how can I have time to fall in love on a blind date!."Don't worry about it, I'll take care of my own problems. "I listened to my mother's choked cry, and my heart was not good. I know that my mother's health has indeed deteriorated in the past few years, but at the age of 65, she is like an 80-year-old woman. I thought about it and said to her, "Okay Mom, since you value this matter so much, I'll make it difficult for me to meet people." But there is no guarantee that we will be together in the end!We'll talk about it after we meet. I smiled helplessly: "Okay Mom, see you then." And then hung up**.
I thought to myself, just follow my mother's wish, just meet and have a meal, and I didn't say that I had to be together.
I looked at the man who called himself Manager Song, and thought to myself that he looked okay and had a good figure, but he didn't know how to behave. When the man saw me coming back, he immediately stood up, walked over to me, and said with a smile: "Hello, my name is Song Ziyuan, I am fortunate to meet you!."With a cold face, I simply replied "hello" and went straight to the kitchen to see the meal prepared by my mother.
Mom was busy in the kitchen, so I walked over to help her serve two dishes and asked softly, "Mom, have you inquired about this person?"How's the personality working?”
Mom said excitedly: "I've asked everything, and the character is very good!."As an executive in a foreign company, the salary is super high, and he is also handsome, but he is a little shy and introverted. ”
I gave my mother a blank look: "Who will introduce themselves to the blind date to introduce themselves to introverts!."It's clearly in the set almost. ”
My mother patted my hand and said, "What's the matter, people are in such good condition, handsome, rich and modest, but a little shy, you will be brave if you have more contact." ”
With that, I walked out of the kitchen with two plates. Song Ziyuan immediately stood up to help me, but I glared at him coldly, so he had to sit back in his seat.
After eating a meal, the atmosphere was a little awkward. I basically didn't say a word, and Song Ziyuan and his mother barely chatted a few words. After eating, my mother cleaned up the table and said to the two of us, "You young people go out for a walk, and your mother won't bother you." ”
I glared at my mother so hard that she actually turned around and went upstairs humming a little song.
I said coldly, "No, I'm a little tired, let's rest." ”
Song Ziyuan nodded: "Okay, then you can rest, I won't bother you." ”
I said upstairs to my mother's room, "My mother is old, and sometimes she is more stubborn and causes you trouble." ”
Song Ziyuan hurriedly said: "* Auntie is very good. ”
I sneered, "It's not as simple as you think." ”
Song Ziyuan was a little puzzled: "What do you mean?"”
I looked at him and confessed: "Actually, my mother's physical condition is not very good, she has terminal cancer, and she was afraid that I would be alone recently, so she arranged this family affair for me without authorization." I didn't agree to come, but I saw that she was so worried that I reluctantly came to this appointment. Don't take it too seriously, I'm very busy with work and life right now, and I don't have the time and energy to think about love and marriage. If you really want to say it, you and I are both victims, and we were both supported by my mother. ”
After hearing this, Song Ziyuan's expression was a little surprised and complicated: "I didn't know that Auntie's health was so poor, it was really hard for you." But I didn't come here on my own initiative, I asked to see you on my own initiative. ”
I frowned, "What do you mean?".”
I looked at him with wide eyes, why does this person look like an infatuated man?Could it be love at first sight?I was so shocked that I couldn't speak, and after a while, I squeezed out a sentence: "I'll go, you won't fall in love at first sight, will you?"”
I asked incredulously, "That's it?".Just because I'm gentle and obedient, you like me?It's too sloppy!”
I'm speechless, this person is incredible, how can there be such a person like him in real life?It's simply Tanmei** male protagonist mode!
Just when we were extremely embarrassed, my mother walked downstairs proudly, and when she saw the two of us looking at each other, she immediately blossomed with joy: "I'll just say that you young people can talk to each other!."Is Manager Xiao Song's character good?Our Xiao Ming's temper is sometimes not very good, you have to be mentally prepared. ”
I glared at my mother, and was about to explain a few words, but Song Ziyuan had already reacted sensitively and said, "Auntie, what are you talking about, I think Xiao Ming's personality is super good!."Chatting is also speculative!”
Mom was very happy, and directly gave Song Ziyuan a big hug: "Great, little Song!."Then we'll settle this family business!You will be my son-in-law from now on!”
Before I could stop it, I heard Song Ziyuan say: "Wait a minute, Auntie, I have to go back to ask my mother's opinion on this matter, I am an only child, and my mother is very concerned about my marriage." ”
Mom's smile immediately froze on her face, and she asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"Are you pushing the strings?”
Mom was directly angry: "Why!."My daughter's happiness is the most important thing!You don't make excuses!”
I hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Mom, calm down, if people don't agree, we can't force it!."Then I said to Song Ziyuan: "Don't mind, my mother is not in good health and her temper is not very stable, you just understand." ”
Song Ziyuan nodded, his face full of embarrassment. Mom snorted and turned to go upstairs. I thought to myself, oh no, the atmosphere is completely out of conversation right now.
So I said to Song Ziyuan: "Then don't sit back and feel uncomfortable, let's stop here today, and talk about it another day." ”
Song Ziyuan nodded disappointedly, said goodbye to me and left. After sending him away, I myself fell into deep thought. My mother is making a fuss, and I guess I don't want to succeed in this family business. I was relieved, but looking at my mother's dejected appearance, I felt that I had not done enough.
I was stunned, and hurriedly hugged the old lady to soothe her emotions, who is this person?
At this time, Song Ziyuan ran over with a few people and said to me, "Xiao Ming, this is my mother." After she knew about the situation last night, she didn't close her eyes all night, and rushed over this morning. I'm really bothering you and Auntie!”
It turned out that the little episode at dinner yesterday made Song Ziyuan's mother feel deeply ashamed, so she hurried to apologize early in the morning. Mom also came down from upstairs at this time, looking at the big drama in front of her in confusion.
Song Ziyuan's mother cried and said to my mother: "It's really my fault, I shouldn't have decided my son's marriage without authorization, and I caused you so much trouble!."I'm so self-righteous!”
Mom also reacted at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to support the old lady, and comforted her softly: "You are polite, there is no misunderstanding between us at all, it is my temper that is a little anxious, and I have to forgive Manager Song." ”
Song Ziyuan's mother sniffed and looked at my mother gratefully: "It's me who is the first, Xiao Song told me all about the past just now, but I didn't think it well and caused you so much trouble!."”
I looked at the picture of harmony in front of me, and my heart was also moved. My mom finally understood my intentions, and her smile was back on her face. Afterwards, my mother talked to me alone and talked a lot. She said to me with red eyes, "Xiao Ming, my mother knows it's wrong. Before, my mother wanted to find you a good home, but she didn't think of it so much, and she lost her temper and embarrassed you. It's all Mom's fault!”
My mother held my hand tightly and burst into tears: "My dear daughter, my mother's greatest wish in this life is to wish you health and happiness. Nothing else is the most important. ”
I also had a sore nose, so I leaned over and kissed my mother on the cheek: "I know, Mom." As long as you're happy, I'm happy. ”
In a few days, it will be my mother's sixtieth birthday. I took a day off and started decorating the house early to prepare for my mother's birthday. Song Ziyuan and his family also came to participate, and he happily gave his mother a big hug: "Auntie, happy birthday!."This misunderstanding also allowed our two families to enhance their understanding and affection, and I am very happy to meet you!”
Mom smiled and nodded: "Thanks to your family, Xiao Ming and I realized the importance of mutual understanding between family members. It was a valuable experience for us!”
Song Ziyuan said approvingly: "Family members should communicate more and experience the subtleties carefully, which is also a good lesson for me." ”
After a while, Song Ziyuan came to me, and seemed to be a little speechless.
I smiled and asked him, "Do you have something to say?"Let's just say it, we're already familiar with it. ”
Song Ziyuan scratched his head: "Actually, I still like you a lot, I don't know if you have changed your opinion of me now?"”
I pretended to think about it for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's for sure, after all, we're already familiar with each other." However, it is still too early to be together, and we need to know more about it. ”
Song Ziyuan said happily: "That's hope!."In the future, I will take the initiative to contact you and exchange feelings more!”
I nodded: "Okay, then it's decided!".”
After a while, my mother's body showed obvious signs of improvement. One day, she happily said to me: "Xiao Ming, Mom has no regrets now." You make me so proud!”
I shook my mother's hand with relief: "I will come home to see you often in the future." As long as you're happy, I'm happy. ”
Mom nodded, her eyes full of love: "My favorite baby girl, Mom will always support you and believe in you!."”
I hugged my mom deeply. No matter what difficulties we encounter in life, we mother and daughter will face them side by side. As long as we are together, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome!Time flies, and in a blink of an eye I am 30 years old. In the past five years, I have made great progress in my career, and I have been promoted from a grassroots white-collar worker to a management position. Life has also become more varied, and in addition to work, I also find time to spend with my family and friends.
