Colleague Da Liu was very annoyed.
Her daughter is in her twenties, she has graduated from college for a few years, she has a good job, a good career, and a good income, but she has never looked for a boyfriend.
I have seen her daughter, because Liu was widowed very early, and I, a trade union cadre, have visited her home many times on behalf of the unit. When she was admitted to university, I personally handed over the 1,000 yuan bonus awarded to her by the unit. At that time, she was already a beautiful big girl who was down-to-earth and generous.
In the blink of an eye, she graduated from college and has been working for a few years. Da Liu has retired a long time ago, and she complained to me that she had given her daughter a death order and asked her to bring her boyfriend back during the Spring Festival. Unexpectedly, she still came back alone for the New Year.
Da Liu was very angry. She said that the most precious thing about a girl's family is the past few years, and there is no room for choice after the age of 30. She said that their mother and daughter are now like fire and water, and they can't communicate at all. Ask if I can help her with the work.
I said that the younger generation has their own ideas, and their outlook on life, marriage and love, and even life is different from ours.
Da Liu said, I know all this.
I just want to know what type of man my daughter likes, and I can help her keep an eye on it. She asked me to talk to her daughter and touch her mind. Da Liu said that her daughter has been working in other places and is only familiar with me.
I reluctantly agreed to meet her daughter.
Da Liu's daughter readily agreed to meet me. She said she remembers taking the prize money from me. It's been so many years, she remembers.
We met as promised. She's getting prettier. As soon as she saw me, she said, "When I come back from vacation, you are the first outsider I have ever met." That said, she's been staying at home these days.
I said, your mom has always cared about you.
She interrupted me and said, I know, you don't have to say it. I know what kind of person I'm looking for.
In this way, I can't speak. After a while, she said quietly, I have always regarded you as the person I am looking for, but I have never met someone like you.
Her words startled me, how can I reply to Da Liu?
