Guo Xue carried a few bags of newly bought vegetables and pushed open the door with a smile: "Mom, I'm back!" ”
It's back! Guo's mother's voice came from the kitchen, "Please help me bring the dishes in and wash them, I'm busy cooking." Your dad just called ** and said that he was going to invite an important client to dinner tonight, so let's prepare a little more hearty. ”
Okay! Guo Xue answered, put the vegetable bag on the edge of the pool, and began to carefully rinse the soil off the vegetable leaves.
By the way, Mom, I have good news for you and Dad. Guo Xue said while washing vegetables.
What's the good news? Guo's mother came out and asked while tying the apron strap.
I've had a boyfriend for over two years now and we're getting ready to get married! Guo Xue had a sweet smile on her face, "I'll bring him back to meet you on Sunday." ”
What the? Guo's mother widened her eyes in surprise, "Why do you suddenly have a boyfriend who is going to get married?" Who is this young man? Why didn't you tell us anything about it before? ”
His name is Zhu Yong, he is an engineer, and he is very stable and reliable. Guo Xue blinked, "I didn't tell you before, I just wanted to surprise you, we are going to get married, you can meet him this Sunday." ”
Okay, too. Although Guo's mother still has some doubts, she also knows that her daughter's marriage can't be rushed, "I'll tell him when your father comes back, so that he can remember to be at home on Sunday and meet this Zhu Yong well." ”
Okay! Guo Xue smiled and continued to wash the dishes.
She and Zhu Yong have indeed been in a relationship for more than two years, but they have not disclosed it to their parents, because she is afraid that once she says it, her parents will urge her to get married.
But now that Zhu Yong has worked as a project manager at a well-known construction company and has a stable income, Guo Xue feels that it is time for her parents to meet their future son-in-law.
On Sunday, Zhu Yong came to Guo Xue's house an hour early.
He dressed up briefly, put on his best suit, and when he knocked on the door of Guo Xue's house, he was still carrying several large bags of gifts in his hand.
Hello uncles and aunts! I'm Xiaoxue's boyfriend Zhu Yong! Zhu Yong was a little nervous but said with a smile.
Please sit down, please take a seat! Father Guo hurriedly asked Zhu Yong to sit down in the living room and take a closer look at this prospective son-in-law.
Guo's mother also brought fruit to entertain Zhu Yong.
Guo Xue has been mentioning you to us for several days, and today I finally met me. Guo's father said with a smile, "I heard Guo Xue say that you are in the construction industry?" ”
Yes, uncle. Zhu Yong relaxed a little and began to detail his work and family background.
After lunch, Guo's father and Guo's mother had a good first impression of this prospective son-in-law.
Zhu Yong has a stable job, a gentle and polite personality, and a handsome and upright appearance.
Guo's father only had one doubt: "Listen to Xiaoxue, you still have a younger brother?" ”
Yes, I have a younger brother who just graduated, Zhu Kang. Zhu Yong nodded.
Well. Father Guo frowned, "How is your brother's work, do you still need your help?" ”
Don't worry about it! Guo Xue hurriedly interjected, "Brother Zhu Yong has already worked, and we will go our separate ways when we get married in the future."
That's good. Guo's mother said lightly, "Your father is just worried that if Zhu Dang still relies on your brothers and sisters to take care of him, it will not be very convenient for you young couple." But since the younger brother works on his own, it doesn't matter. ”
Zhu Yong hurriedly nodded his head in understanding and agreement. Seeing that Guo's father and mother did not continue to dwell on this issue, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
A few days later, Guo Xue also went to Zhu Yong's house for dinner.
Zhu's father and mother are very satisfied with their daughter-in-law.
It's just that Guo Xue found that the Zhu family's house was not big and the decoration was simple, which made her feel a little poor.
She didn't take it to heart, anyway, she and Zhu Yong will have their own small family in the future, and it doesn't matter if they don't live with their parents-in-law, and their lifestyles are not the same.
Both parents expressed their approval and blessings, and Guo Xue and Zhu Yong soon began to prepare for the engagement ceremony.
The night before the engagement feast, the two families sat down again for a meal.
In a peaceful and warm atmosphere, Guo's father had a good impression of this well-behaved young man.
I heard that your brother has also found a girlfriend and is planning to get married? Father Guo said to Zhu Yong with a smile.
yes. Mother Zhu interjected, "It's a pity that my brother's girlfriend's family wants to buy a house before we get married, how can we have this condition!" ”
Guo's father and mother were stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect the Zhu family to suddenly mention this.
Zhu's father then said: "Why don't you Xiaoxue and Ah Yong help out and buy a house for your younger brother?" When the time comes, you and Ah Yong will get married, and Zhu Dang will also tie the knot, how good it is for the two brothers to do a happy event together! ”
Right, right! Mother Zhu also nodded, "You help your younger brother buy a house, and we agree to marry your eldest son!" ”
Guo Xue and Guo's father and mother were all stunned, they thought that the Zhu family's parents would make such an unreasonable request.
Uncle and aunt, this. I'm limited in my abilities. Guo Xue smiled reluctantly and responded vaguely.
What's not to do? Father Zhu said confidently, "Anyway, your family also has money, and Ah Yong has also accumulated a lot of savings over the years, and it is not a big burden to buy an extra house by pooling money together!" When the time comes, it will be more lively to do happy events together! ”
Yes, you agree, it's all family anyway. Mother Zhu also urged.
Guo Xue glanced at Zhu Yong and found that he did not say anything to stop his parents' unreasonable demands, and he felt very uncomfortable.
She sank and said seriously: "Uncle and aunt, it is my freedom whether I buy a house or not. If you force me to have to buy a house for your brother in order to get married, then don't do it. Let's go our separate ways. ”
After speaking, Guo Xue didn't give Zhu's father and Zhu's mother time to argue again, and directly pulled her parents who were still ** and left the restaurant.
Guo's father and mother drove their daughter home, and Guo Xue was silent all the way.
Mom and Dad, I'm sorry for the trouble. After the car stopped, Guo Xue apologized first.
Silly girl, what do you have to apologize for! Guo's mother held her daughter's hand, "It's that family is too much, and they actually want you to help buy a house!" We should thank you for your firm rejection of them! ”
Well, daughter, you're doing a great job. Guo's father also agreed, "You handled this matter properly, and we support your decision." ”
Thank you, Mom and Dad! With the support of her parents, Guo Xue finally smiled.
The three of them said a few words, and Guo's father and mother went home first.
Guo Xue sat alone in the car, waiting for Zhu Yong's call.
Sure enough, Zhu Yong called after a while.
As soon as he connected, he said eagerly: "Guo Xue, why are you so excited today?" My mom was just kidding, do you have to take it seriously? ”
Zhu Yong, this is not a joke at all for me and my parents. Guo Xue said seriously, "I can't help your brother buy a house because of your family's requirements, if you can't understand, then we can only break up." ”
Parted?! Zhu Yong raised his voice, "I've been with you for more than two years, and you broke up with me because of this little thing?" ”
The little thing? Guo Xue was also a little angry, "Buying a house is a big deal for me!" And you're not on my side at all, just protecting your parents, we can't be together anymore! ”
Guo Xue, calm down! Zhu Yong persuaded, "It's just to buy a suite, we have the ability!" My brother's marriage, what does it matter if you help? You are a girl, don't be so strong! ”
Enough is enough for Zhu Yong. Guo Xue said resolutely, "I won't see you again, and I won't contact you again, let's break up." ”
After speaking, Guo Xue decisively hung up **. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself.
Back at home, Guo Xue canceled the engagement banquet. She believes she made the right choice and no longer regrets it.
The next day, Zhu Yong still came to look for Guo Xue, but Guo Xue turned him away. Guo Xue threw all his things directly at the door, telling him never to appear in front of her.
This farce ended like this.
Guo Xue has resumed her single life, and she believes that she will one day meet him who is really suitable.
