During the dinner, Bai Xiufen kept picking up food for her son and Li Zheng. It can be seen that she dotes on Wang Cheng very much. Her deep motherly love permeates every tiny movement. It is polite to pick up food for herself.
Wang Cheng picking up food is doting.
The meal lasted forty minutes.
Talk about work, talk about life, talk about social conditions.
Bai Xiufen heard that Li Zheng's parents died very early and that he had been raised by his grandma for so many years. She couldn't help but ask Li Zheng, does your grandma approve of your serving in the special forces? Is she willing? Isn't she worried?
Li Zheng said that staying in the special forces was his own choice, and it was a well-thought-out decision. It was not impulsive. In fact, his grandma still supported him to stay in the army. As for whether he was worried about it...
At this point, Li Zheng put down Kuai Zi, collected his thoughts, and then said slowly: "Auntie, I don't know what other people think of life. I personally think this is a one-way journey with no turning back.
Everyone has to experience everything on this journey. Some people have a long journey, but it is as dull as water; some people have a short journey, but it is colorful. There is no right or wrong in any form of life, only whether the individual is willing and likes it, as long as it does not harm others, as long as
If you live a meaningful life, then there will be no problem. I think my grandma should also understand this truth, so she supports me to stay in the army."
Bai Xiufen was stunned when she heard this. Maybe there were too many philosophical things about life in Li Zheng's words.
She suddenly realized that she had not thought about life carefully.
After her husband died, she devoted herself to serving her parents-in-law and raising their children, and never thought about her own life.
She is a typical traditional Chinese woman. She takes care of her husband and raises her children. When her husband is away, she takes care of her children. She has a slightly conservative mindset.
What Li Zheng just said was something she had never thought about before. What is the meaning of life? For Bai Xiufen, raising a son, watching him get married and start a business, watching him carry on the family line, and watching him live a happy life, that is Bai Xiufen's life
the full meaning of?
But what about your own life?
It seemed like she had never thought about it.
"Aunt?"
Li Zheng looked at Bai Xiufen's absent-minded look and worried whether what he said had irritated Bai Xiufen.
He suddenly felt that he was too relaxed and could not hold back his words.
After all, this is a martyred family member and the legacy of a hero.
Is it unacceptable for Bai Xiufen to talk about the growth and shortcomings of life, the meaning of life, etc. in front of her?
Everyone has selfish motives.
Perhaps in Bai Xiufen's eyes, she does not think that martyr status and so-called honor are so important. For her, her husband's survival is more important than anything else.
"Mom!" Wang Cheng also shouted: "What's wrong with you?"
After hearing her son's question, Bai Xiufen came back to her senses.
"It's okay, I'm okay..."
She tried her best to hide her gaffe.
"Instructor Li just said it so well that it made me a little lost in thought..."
Wang Cheng felt relieved and continued to eat, then put a piece of his favorite squirrel fish meat into his mouth, and said vaguely: "The instructor is right, everyone has their own freedom of choice.
So you have it too, Mom. My dad has been gone for so many years. There are some things that you can’t always take to heart. Many times I saw you sitting in front of my dad’s memorial tablet for half the night at night. You are almost retired. You work so hard.
It has been a lifetime, and I have grown up. You should learn to enjoy life... No... Look at the aunts and uncles in our compound. They all know how to enjoy themselves. They drink tea in the morning, play chess and dance during the day, or just go there.
Singing and listening to music in the folk art club, I think you should live that kind of life, don't always focus on me..."
Bai Xiufen said: "When did I put all my energy into you? Do you think I don't want to go to work during the day?"
Wang Cheng smiled and said: "On your shift, you should be busy in the morning, and there will be nothing to do in the afternoon. I don't know where the city bureau is? If you were really busy, you wouldn't keep calling me at noon.
On the phone, I asked about this and that, have you eaten? Have you rested? Are you busy? Mom... I am 24 years old and an adult. I beg you, please don't always think that I am a three-year-old child..."
Li Zheng touched Wang Cheng lightly with his foot under the table and told him to stop talking.
Although this is a very normal complaint for a son, as a person who lost his parents early, Li Zheng was sensitive to family relationships and told himself that the mother would definitely be unhappy.
Wang Cheng stopped talking and continued to eat.
Bai Xiufen picked up the bowl with some disappointment, with some tears in the corners of her eyes, and said unwillingly: "If you get married and give me a grandson, I won't bother you with phone calls every day, but I don't want to bother you even if you want me to.
…”
"Marriage is about fate..." Wang Cheng said with some boredom: "I'm only 24 years old, why are you anxious?"
Bai Xiufen said: "Don't worry? Han Feng, who is in the building next door, is in the same year as you, right? Back then, we were classmates in Class 1 of No. 7 Primary School, and also graduated from the police academy. Look at her, she got married last year, and this year her daughter-in-law is standing tall
I have a big belly for more than five months..."
Wang Cheng said: "Han Feng has loved picking up girls since he was a child. I don't have the ability to do that. What's more, he is in the eighth section of the city bureau. That damn place is so leisurely that it's covered in dog urine."
Bai Xiufen said: "I don't care. You are the only male in our family. If you don't get married or have children, I will go underground and have nothing to do with your father after I die."
Wang Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "Mom, I can't give birth to a baby myself! Do you think I'm a hermaphrodite and can have a baby if I want? Besides, I'm so busy with work now. Look, I'm either training or preparing for work, or...
How can I have time to fall in love when I'm on a mission? Besides, other girls wouldn't choose someone as busy as me..."
Bai Xiufen said: "Don't worry, as long as you nod, I will make arrangements?"
Wang Cheng was immediately startled: "Mom, are you going to arrange a blind date again?! I beg you, don't torture me. The girl you introduced last time... to be honest, she has a big displacement, I am
I don’t think I have the ability to do it…”
Li Zheng turned to Qiao Li, who was already covering her mouth and giggling. Qiao Li said: "Last time, my aunt introduced a niece to a colleague in the city bureau, saying that she opened a store by herself, with good income and good character. But her cousin went there
It weighed a hundred and fifty pounds. When we met for a meal, the girl ordered four portions of pig's trotters, which was more than my cousin ate...I was so scared that he quickly paid the bill and ran away..."
After hearing what Qiao Li said about the last time, Bai Xiufen rolled her eyes at him: "Lili, you are also a girl, how can you say that to someone else? Yes, she is fat. Look at her family conditions. Although she has opened a shop, but
The working hours are fixed, there is no need to work overtime, and the income is pretty good. What’s wrong with being fat? That’s called being rich!”
】
Li Zheng whispered to Qiao Li: "One hundred and fifty is not too fat."
When Bai Xiufen heard this, she immediately felt that she had found a supporter and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, I only weigh one hundred and fifty pounds. I'm not fat at all. I'm just a little round and plump."
Qiao Li couldn't help it this time, so she covered her mouth again, and after taking a while to catch her breath, she said, "Second aunt, the problem is that she's only 1.58 meters tall!"
Li was drinking soup. When he stopped, Qiao Li almost spat out these words, but he managed to hold them back.
As a result, Qiao Li continued: "She opened a very famous dessert shop. I went shopping somewhere and saw her in the shop. It was afternoon, and she put on a show in front of her.
Piling up desserts to eat there... If things continue like this, even if my brother is a special police officer, if he really listens to you and this happens, An Fushen will probably be broken if she goes upstairs on the wedding day."
"Cough cough cough——"
Li Zheng couldn't hold it back at all this time. He choked on a mouthful of soup and coughed violently.
