Aunt An's son Dacheng is 28 years old this year, and after graduating from his bachelor's degree, he entered a listed company to work, and now he is a manager, enjoying five insurances and one housing fund, and his work is easy and happy.
He is a worry-free child, who has been working in listed companies since he was 22 years old, serious and down-to-earth, and not ambitious.
However, Aunt Ann was troubled by his personal problems.
Dacheng is impeccable and performs well at work, but he has never found a suitable other half. Aunt Ann was troubled by this, and even suffered from insomnia.
She secretly registered her son with a parental blind date group and carefully selected it, but Dacheng dismissed it and thought it was boring.
He explained that it wasn't that he didn't want to find a partner or get married, but that he wanted to find someone with whom he had a spiritual connection.
Listening to her son's words, Aunt An became even more anxious. She couldn't help but wonder if the feeling of having a little bit of a heart was too idealistic, and that it would be as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack for two different souls to have such a wonderful resonance.
She even began to worry that if she couldn't find such a person in her life, would Dacheng be lonely and old?
One day, Aunt An pointed to the gray hair on her head and asked, "Dacheng, do you see more and more gray hair on your mother's head?" ”
Dacheng took a closer look and sighed: "Why are you only 56 years old, and you have more gray hair on your head than your grandmother?" ”
His 80-year-old grandmother looked at this scene, knew it in her heart, smiled silently, and did not say anything.
After a while, Aunt An suddenly spoke: "Do you want to know the reason?" Daesung nodded slightly sluggishly. Aunt An couldn't help but erupt: "You still nod!" I'm 56 years old, and I have more gray hair than your grandmother! Why?
Isn't that just for you to worry about? You're almost thirty years old, and all children of this age are about to enter elementary school, what about you? Not even a single object! The family conditions are good, you are tall and short, why can't you find a partner? ”
Seeing his mother's collapse, Dacheng felt very guilty and hurriedly comforted her: "I have a girlfriend now, and we have only been together for more than a month, so I haven't told you yet." ”
As soon as she heard that her son had a girlfriend, Aunt An immediately felt better and began to ask questions, as if she was checking her household registration. The girl's father is a civil servant and her mother is a doctor, and her family background is similar to that of Aunt An. And the girl and her son are colleagues in the same company, and their jobs are also stable. Originally, the family was happy, but when Aunt An asked about the girl's height, her son said that his girlfriend was only 1.5 meters tall, small and exquisite. Aunt An and her husband are in trouble again!
Aunt An said: "Son, you are 1.8 meters, she is only 1.5 meters, this gap is too big, she is too short!" Let's break up, you know that people say 'my mother is short and short', and you get married and have a child in the future, if you are really as short as her, then our family's excellent genes will be gone. The son smiled and said, "If I like it, don't ask too much, otherwise no matter who I find, you will not be satisfied." ”
Aunt An originally wanted to persuade her son to find a tall man, but after listening to her son's words, she had to shut up. Aunt An is very curious, what is it about a girl who is 1.5 meters tall to attract her son? Did the son fall in love with this girl at first sight?
At this time, the son's grandmother spoke and proposed: "Dacheng, let's take a break, bring the girl to our house for a meal, let your mother meet, and satisfy her curiosity." ”
Daesung nodded, and instructed the guests brought back by his mother to be warmly entertained and not to make them feel uncomfortable.
Aunt An nodded with a wry smile, remembering the sentence "I forgot my mother when I married my daughter-in-law".
After getting the girl's consent, the son said they would come for lunch on Saturday.
In order to welcome this girl, although Aunt An was a little dissatisfied with her short stature, she still prepared many delicacies that young people liked.
However, on Friday afternoon, her grandmother suddenly became dizzy, and Aunt An and her wife rushed her to the hospital, where doctors recommended that she stay in the hospital for observation.
The doctor said that the old lady needed to take good care of her body because her blood pressure and blood sugar were too high, and if she didn't control it, she might have a stroke.
Grandma was admitted to the hospital, and Aunt An wanted to inform her son and girl to change their plans to come home for dinner, but Grandma firmly disagreed.
She said that the other party was coming for the first time and would be very nervous, and that it would be uncomfortable for them to change their plans.
She told them that they could go about their business, that she would handle it herself when she was alone in the hospital, and that she could eat the meals provided by the hospital at noon.
Aunt An nodded, and at ten o'clock the next Saturday morning, Grandma's drip was all over, and Aunt An went home at the urging of Grandma.
Before leaving, my grandmother kept telling them that they would receive the guests warmly and not make any bad impression on each other.
When Aunt Ann returned home, she found that her son had returned with the girl, and they were preparing the ingredients together in the kitchen.
Aunt An felt a wave of warmth welling up in her heart.
She went into the kitchen, and the girl called her aunt, but the son joked that she should call her mother, which made the girl blush.
Aunt An slapped her son with a smile, saying that his mouth was too funny, how could he let the guests do things when he came to the house for the first time.
She pushed her son and girl out and told them to go to the living room to watch TV and have a snack.
Aunt An secretly looked at the girl and felt that she looked dignified and generous, but she was a little shorter, just up to her son's arm, which seemed to be a little mismatched.
Aunt An used to work as an accountant in a state-owned enterprise, and after retirement, she usually likes to cook, so it is not difficult for her to prepare a few dishes.
It didn't take long for his wife to return, and after washing his hands, he went into the kitchen to help.
Aunt An asked her wife what she thought of the girl, and she said that everything was fine except for being a little short.
During the meal, the girl asked Dacheng, "Where is your grandmother?" Didn't you say she lives here? ”
Dacheng explained that his grandmother was asked by doctors to stay in the hospital for observation due to dizziness and high blood pressure.
The girl nodded, indicating that when they finished eating, they would pack some food for their grandmother and go to the hospital to see her together.
Dacheng nodded, prepared an insulated lunch box, and planned to pack some vegetable soup for his grandmother.
The girl had a good appetite and was not too picky about food, but she was very particular about the skill of picking vegetables, and only took a little bit in front of her at a time, and would not clip it more than once.
Her taste is very sweet, and she always keeps praising Aunt An's cooking, thinking that it is better than the restaurants outside.
After the meal, Aunt An asked her wife to stay at home to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and she and the children went to deliver meals to the elderly in the hospital.
In the hospital, when she learned that her grandson was going to bring his girlfriend to visit her, her grandmother was very happy and her mood was much better. She got up and went to the washbasin to wash her face and comb her hair.
She also asked the old sister at the bedside if she looked energetic.
The old sister's granddaughter happened to bring the meal, and the grandmother looked at it carefully while eating, and nodded to indicate that she did seem to be in good spirits.
While eating, the old sister curiously asked who had come to see her, as if it were a very important matter.
Knowing that it was her grandson who was going to bring his girlfriend over, the grandmother smiled and said that young people nowadays, even if they come to visit, they just stand at the end of the bed and say a few words, throw down the gift and leave in a hurry, who cares about your mental state. She pointed to her bedside table and said that her granddaughter was the same, and that she had put down her meal and left.
The hospital is not far from Aunt An's house, about a ten-minute walk away. On the way, the girl saw a health care product store, and despite Aunt An's dissuasion, she insisted on going in and bought two cans of sugar-free middle-aged and elderly milk powder.
When they arrived at the hospital, they went to Grandma's hospital room. Dacheng called grandma, and the girl also called grandma sweetly.
The girl walked to her grandmother's bed with a thermos lunch box and asked her if she was feeling better. Has the dizziness been relieved?
Dacheng hurriedly brought a stool for the girl, and after the girl sat down, she opened the lunch box, hung the simple board provided by the hospital on the guardrail, and arranged the meal for her grandmother.
Grandma chatted with the girl while eating. As soon as the old man's chatterbox was opened, there was an endless amount of past to tell, and even Aunt An felt that her head was big.
As a result, the girl named Xuanxuan listened with a smile on her face the whole time, nodding her head from time to time.
It took Grandma half an hour to finish her meal, because she talked as she ate, and talked longer than she ate.
After the meal, the girl stood up and prepared to clean up, but Dacheng arranged for her to sit down and continue chatting with her grandmother, and she was responsible for cleaning up.
After eating enough, grandma looked more energetic. She took a crush on the girl, shook her hand, and began to ask questions as if she had seen the granddaughter of an old friend.
Seeing the grandmother holding the girl's hand, the 70-year-old man next to the bed was startled. Who likes old people to shake their hands today? Even being close to the elderly is considered to have the smell of the elderly.
Even Aunt An was scared.
Whatever the grandmother asked, the girls answered, as if they were not strangers they had just met, but grandmothers and granddaughters who had not been seen for a long time.
Xuanxuan told her grandmother that her parents were too busy with work, and she was brought up by her grandmother when she was a child. Sadly, her grandmother passed away two years ago.
Speaking of her grandmother's death, Xuanxuan was depressed, tears welled up in her eyes, and Dacheng handed her a tissue in distress.
They stayed with Grandma for almost two hours, and Grandma talked to the girl for nearly two hours.
When the girl was leaving, she said to her grandmother, I hope you hurry up, next time I won't come to the hospital to see you, I will go to your house to see you.
Dacheng sent the girl home, and Aunt An said to her mother-in-law that this girl is too short, my family is 1.8 meters, and she is only 1.5 meters, and she walks together like an adult and a child, which is very unworthy.
The mother-in-law said to her daughter-in-law solemnly: "I look at this girl, she is a treasure, and she can bring us good luck." Although she is small, she is very delicate and cute, and you say that you will exchange a fair-skinned, beautiful, and long-legged girl, and I don't agree. Now such an excellent girl is rare, and we Dacheng still have an eye for people. ”
Aunt An said, "Mom, don't you remember the sentence that your mother is short and short? What if I have a boy and a mother in the future? ”
The mother-in-law replied, "Which is more important, height or inner quality?" The more you live, the more superficial you become, not even as good as your son! Dacheng fell in love with this Xuanxuan, she has a good outlook, kindness, and high emotional intelligence, and she must pay attention to the inner when choosing a wife, so that such a wife can bring family harmony. As for the height of the appearance, it is just an external image for others to see. ”
Aunt An's mother-in-law, who has a lot of experience in speaking, used to be a high school Chinese teacher.
The 70-year-old aunt next to the bed applauded her when she heard this, and said, "Old sister, you are really knowledgeable, and you said it so well." This girl is not tall, but she is decent. In today's society, who among young people does not dislike the elderly? This girl is good, she is smiling and kind-hearted when she hears you, if it weren't for this, she wouldn't have lasted so long. Your grandson has really picked up a treasure, don't look short, such a talent is worth cherishing! ”
Aunt An thought about it and felt that the two old men had a point. Choosing a wife should pay attention to the inner quality, and the height and beauty of the appearance are only superficial.
In life, the most important thing is to choose a wife with a good personality, a kind heart, and high emotional intelligence. She decided to respect her son's choice and hoped that they could achieve positive results and get married and start a family as soon as possible.
