During the Chinese New Year holiday, relatives who have said the following things, please raise your hand: first, about urging marriage;
Then, talk about work;
Or, compare yourself with other people's children.
For some adults, the Chinese New Year is also like passing the test, greetings from relatives and friends, coping with interpersonal relationships, and so on.
Especially in the Meng family, this year is full of gunpowder.
First of all, Li Yijin, the daughter of Meng Mingwei, the eldest daughter of the Meng family, suddenly decided to go to her boyfriend's house for the New Year, missed her grandmother's birthday, and became the main firepower point when the whole family gathered.
Then there is the daughter of Meng Yunqing, the second eldest of the Meng family, Tao Shuna, who was admitted to a top university for a doctorate in a first-class major.
In addition, the second family's income is considerable, and it is natural to become the center of the family, and the two cousins, Tao Shuna and Li Yijin, will inevitably become the object of comparison in the hearts of parents.
As for the youngest daughter Meng Yi'an, she started a business in Shanghai, and she is an aunt with a successful career and a happy family in the eyes of the younger generation, and she is also the youngest daughter who has the least to worry about in the eyes of her mother.
A reunion dinner, although it was not complete, was finished.
And Li Yijin, who is far away from her boyfriend's hometown, is not so lucky, and before she entered the door, she was accused of disagreement with her boyfriend, from drinking raw chicken blood to crossing the brazier, everything had to be done.
What makes her most angry is not the "rules" of her elders, but the silence of her boyfriend when he sees herself in an embarrassing situation.
Speaking of which, you should have also noticed that there are very few descriptions of the male family members of the Meng family, mainly because they really have no sense of existence.
The eldest son-in-law is addicted to **, monopolizing the power of the family economy, and even Meng Mingwei's salary card is in his hand.
He is righteous and helpful to his friends, but he is very indifferent to his family, not only in the absence of children's education and family support, but also in the calculation of his daughter's marriage, and it is precisely because of his domestic violence that Meng Mingwei's leg is disabled.
The second son-in-law seems to love his wife and daughter, but he is a delicate egoist in his bones.
He knows that his daughter-in-law is the main economic leader of the family, so he is willing to live a "palm-up" life at home: it costs 100,000 yuan to repair his mother's grave today, and he has to give money ...... tomorrow for the renewal of the dance class
He was busy partying and dancing with friends all day long, which was actually the main cause of family conflicts. At that time, Tao Shuna had just been born, and after Meng Yunqing was busy alone, he became an invisible person. Then Meng Yunqing returned to the workplace to work hard and gradually got on the track, but he suspected her of cheating again and again.
In order to maintain the so-called family harmony, Meng Yunqing repeatedly tolerated it.
The little son-in-law is filial to his elders and cares for his daughter, and even when his nieces move, he also finds time to drive and pick them up. It's a pity that he and Meng Yi'an have already divorced, and in order not to irritate the elders and children, they have concealed it until now.
The relationship between husband and wife, intergenerational contradictions, from food, clothing, housing and transportation, to whether a daughter should give up working in a big city, and what kind of person she should fall in love with, the contradictions and discussion points in "Fireworks" are all in reality.
For example, Li Yijin and her mother, because of her husband's absence, her mother regarded her as the only hope, and therefore interfered in every detail of her life. Small things include hairstyles, meals, whether to change rental houses, and big things are the partners of relationships, whether to go back to their hometown to develop, and even go over Li Yijin to directly call her leader to help the child resign.
Li Yijin, who was under heavy pressure, was dissatisfied, angry, and disconnected, but after so many years of family bonds, she neither had the decisiveness to go away, nor could she fully accept her mother's arrangement.
The relationship between the mother and daughter is like a train that may derail at any time, on the verge of danger at any time.
On the other hand, there is Tao Shuna's mother and daughter, who understand each other like friends and respect each other's personal space.
When she was a student, Tao Shuna was considered by her teacher to be in early love, and it was her mother who firmly stood on her side and chose to believe in her daughter and defend her;
After graduating, the police station called ** to say that Tao Shuna had beaten someone, and her first reaction was to believe that her daughter must have her own reasons for doing this.
Thanks to a healthy parent-child relationship, Tao Shuna is confident and determined in her pursuit of both her studies and love. Knowing that her mother was in the quagmire of marriage, she also encouraged her mother to pursue her own happiness.
There is mutual help, touching warmth, and noisy struggles, this family full of fireworks condenses the real life of ordinary people. ps: It is strictly forbidden to be private**! Or to collaborate, please contact the author.
