"Mom, what do you want to say to me?" Ma Xiaoyao asked doubtfully.
"Xiaoyao, how...how did you find such a girlfriend..." Zhang Chunfang frowned tightly.
"What's wrong with Sister Gu? Doesn't she look good?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"She looks great, she is very beautiful, but her status...she is the mayor, and you are just a small township cadre. Do you think you two are a good match?" Zhang Chunfang sighed: "Xiaoyao,
Logically speaking, mom shouldn't interfere with you having a girlfriend, but... the identity gap between you and Gu Li is really too big. If you really get together, can you be happy? Mom is someone who has been there and experienced it.
I have been through many more things than you, especially when it comes to marriage issues. Mom has more experience than you. Think about it, once you marry Gu Li, you will be suppressed by Gu Li in the future. A grown man will do everything for you.
Will you feel comfortable if you are overwhelmed by a woman every day? You may not be able to see anything for a short time, but as time goes by, you and Gu Li will definitely have conflicts, and this conflict cannot be reconciled... You..."
Zhang Chunfang lived more than twenty years longer than Ma Xiaoyao and had much richer life experience than Ma Xiaoyao.
Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "Who said that conflicts cannot be mediated? All conflicts in this world can be mediated, it's just that the difficulty of mediation is different." At this point, Ma Xiaoyao took a breath: "Mom, I admit that what you said is true.
It makes sense. There is a big identity gap between me and Sister Gu. I am a big man and I am often overwhelmed by a woman. I will definitely feel uncomfortable. As time goes by, some conflicts may really arise between me and me... these
I agree with everything you said, but there is one thing I don’t agree with, that is, you said that the conflict between me and Sister Gu cannot be mediated...I still say that everything in the world can be mediated..."
"You said it lightly, then let me ask you, how do you plan to mediate the conflict with Gu Li?" Zhang Chunfang asked.
"It's very simple. Narrow the identity gap between the two of us. As long as the identity gap between the two of us narrows, the conflict between us will also shrink or even disappear." Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile: "My son is still very young."
I am young and will have a lot of room for development in the future. Although I am just a small township cadre now, in a few years, I will definitely become a county cadre, a city cadre, or even a provincial cadre. In this way, between Sister Gu and I
Won’t the identity gap between us be narrowed? Once the identity gap problem disappears, the conflicts between me and Sister Gu will also disappear."
"You said it's so easy!" Zhang Chunfang glared at Ma Xiaoyao: "Do you think promotion is an easy thing?"
"It's not easy. It's not easy at all. It's very difficult to get promoted. But I'm confident that my son will definitely get promoted. Mom, let me tell you one thing. My son is doing a great job in the countryside.
, I was appreciated by the secretary of the county party committee. Years ago, the secretary of the county party committee personally asked me to participate in the youth cadre class? Oh, the youth cadre class is used to train young cadres. Mom, my son will definitely be reused and promoted in the future. "
Ma Xiaoyao said with confidence.
Zhang Chunfang nodded: "Okay, even if you can be promoted in the future, but what about Gu Li? Gu Li won't be promoted? When you are promoted, Gu Li will also be promoted, so the gap between you and her will always exist.
of."
Ma Xiaoyao chirped: "Mom, you know too little about officialdom. When you reach the level of mayor, it will be difficult to get promoted. No, it is very, very difficult. You need to make a lot of achievements.
To be promoted, let’s put it this way, Sister Gu’s promotion speed in the future will definitely be slower than mine. I may be promoted several levels in a row, and then Sister Gu will be promoted to a higher level. As time goes by, I will be on par with Sister Gu.
? Maybe I will directly surpass Sister Gu."
"You're such a mouthful...you're so talkative...I can't help you!" Zhang Chunfang wanted to enlighten Ma Xiaoyao, but Ma Xiaoyao made so many lies, which made Zhang Chunfang choked and speechless.
"Mom, I don't call this nonsense, I call it reasonable..." Ma Xiaoyao smiled and said: "Mom, you have to believe in your son. I will never choose the wrong person for my son." At this point, Ma Xiaoyao said
Sighing: "Mom, I really like Sister Gu from the bottom of my heart. I have never liked a woman so much in my whole life. I went through all kinds of hardships and finally managed to catch Sister Gu. I really mean it."
I want to marry Sister Gu and spend the rest of my life..."
"Well, since you have identified that Gu Li, I won't say anything more." Seeing Ma Xiaoyao's resolute attitude, Zhang Chunfang couldn't say anything more.
Ma Xiaoyao reached out and held Zhang Chunfang's arm, and said with a smile: "Mom, haven't you always wanted to find me a wife? Now that I have brought my wife back, why are you not willing anymore? Do you want to or not?
Let your son find a wife?"
"Of course I have. I look forward to you getting married every day and giving birth to a big fat grandson for me." Zhang Chunfang curled her lips: "It's just that I didn't expect that you actually found a female mayor as your wife... You are so good."
Someone who has the ability."
"Haha... Of course I have the ability. You don't even know whose son I am." Ma Xiaoyao flattered me in a moderate way: "Mom, actually, Sister Gu is a very good person. There is nothing wrong with her.
She is very approachable when dealing with people. Don’t mind her identity. Wait for her to go out later. Can you be more polite to others? Stop being so straight-faced, okay? If you scare them away,
, my son will be very sad..."
"Okay, okay, stop talking, I won't object to you and Gu Li anymore..." Zhang Chunfang compromised.
Seeing that his mother was convinced by him, Ma Xiaoyao felt relieved. It was really hard to be a son. Not only did he have to worry about his mother's feelings, but he also had to worry about his girlfriend's situation. It was really difficult. Alas,
Being a man is tiring, being a good man is even more tiring.
…
In the living room.
Gu Li sat on the sofa with a very embarrassed expression. She didn't expect that Ma Xiaoyao's parents would have such a big prejudice against her, especially Ma Xiaoyao's mother, who seemed to be even more prejudiced against her. Originally, Gu Li wanted to behave well.
For a while, Ma Xiaoyao's parents liked and accepted him, but now it seems unlikely.
"Gu...Mayor, drink tea." Ma Dahai placed a steaming tea cup in front of Gu Li, looking very reserved. This was the first time in Ma Dahai's life that he had such close contact with a city leader.
, I couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
"Uncle, you'd better call me by my name." Gu Li said with a smile.
"No, no, no, how can this be done? You are the mayor, how can I call you by your name?" Ma Dahai waved his hands repeatedly.
"Uncle, you..." Gu Li was just about to speak when she heard a knock on the door behind her. She turned around and saw Ma Xiaoyao and Zhang Chunfang walking out of the bedroom. Gu Li quickly stood up and greeted Zhang Chunfang:
"Aunt."
"Mayor Gu, what do you want to eat for lunch?" Zhang Chunfang asked.
"What?" Gu Li was stunned for a moment.
"I asked you what you want to eat for lunch?" Zhang Chunfang repeated again.
Ma Xiaoyao walked to Gu Li and whispered: "My mother has been convinced by me and she agrees that we can be together..."
"Really?" Gu Li's eyes lit up and she hurriedly said to Zhang Chunfang: "Auntie, I'm not picky about food. I can eat anything."
"Well, let's just wash the pots?" Zhang Chunfang suggested.
"Okay, you can eat anything." Gu Li had no objection at all.
"Dahai, go to the supermarket right away to buy meat slices and vegetables. Remember to buy more seasonings." Zhang Chunfang turned to Ma Dahai and said.
"I'd better go buy it." Ma Xiaoyao greeted Gu Li, turned around and ran out of the house.
More than ten minutes later, Ma Xiaoyao came back with slices of meat, vegetables and seasonings. As soon as he entered the house, Ma Xiaoyao was stunned. He saw Zhang Chunfang, Ma Dahai and Gu Li sitting on the sofa and chatting.
They were very speculative, and all three of them had smiles on their faces.
"Back." Gu Li stood up and took the slices of meat and vegetables from Ma Xiaoyao's hand.
There was a dining table in the living room, and an electric rice cooker was placed on the table. The water in the pot was already rolling "gurgling..." and there were bowls and chopsticks placed around the rice cooker. It turned out that Ma Xiaoyao had gone downstairs.
When buying meat slices and vegetables, Zhang Chunfang and others had already set up the table and rice cooker.
While Zhang Chunfang and Ma Dahai were cooking meat slices, Ma Xiaoyao quietly pulled Gu Li aside and asked softly: "Sister Gu, what's going on?"
"What's going on?" Gu Li asked doubtfully.
"Just now you and my parents were sitting on the sofa chatting, and they were very speculative..." Ma Xiaoyao said.
"Haha... you are talking about this..." Gu Li said with a smile: "I am also the mayor of a city, don't I have to deal with your parents? After you left, I began to take the initiative to show my kindness to them. Gradually,
They became much more enthusiastic towards me, and by the way, even the title was changed. Your parents no longer call me mayor, but call me by my first name."
Ma Xiaoyao gave Gu Li a thumbs up: "Awesome, Sister Gu, you are so awesome!"
"What are you talking about? Come and eat quickly, the meat slices are already cooked." Zhang Chunfang shouted.
"Hey, here we come." Ma Xiaoyao and Gu Li walked over and sat at the dining table and started eating.
This meal was quite enjoyable. Ma Xiaoyao's parents kept giving Guli slices of meat, which was very enthusiastic.
After eating, Gu Li said goodbye, and Ma Xiaoyao personally sent Gu Li downstairs.
"Sister Gu, I have wronged you today." Ma Xiaoyao said guiltily.
"Grieved? What grievances do I have?" Gu Li smiled.
"My parents are not actually prejudiced against you. They are just surprised by your identity. Both of them are ordinary workers. When they faced the mayor all at once, they couldn't control their emotions well and said some things that made you unhappy..." Ma
Xiaoyao said.
Gu Li shook her head: "I didn't care at all. It's understandable that your parents couldn't accept my identity for a while, but didn't they become very enthusiastic about me later? I believe that as long as they stay in contact for a long time, your parents will definitely
