Outside, Song Zhuangxian was playing chess with Su Zhiyuan. Inside, Song Xiaomei looked in the mirror and asked her mother, "Which clothes should I wear? I usually wear work clothes, and I can't wear any good-looking clothes in my wardrobe."
I’m going to see Zhiyuan’s parents today, and I have to wear something nice... How about this one?"
Her mother Shen Mei hurriedly said: "No, no, this dress is too fancy. You must not wear such clothes on the streets of Jinghai City. If you are not pleased with others' eyes, you will be arrested and criticized."
"Is there such a big fuss now? It's just a matter of wearing nicer clothes..."
Shen Mei took a copy of the Evening News and showed it to Song Xiaomei. The content on it read: "Some young women in our factory are dressed in fancy clothes and like to put on lipstick and nail polish. Those who don't know it think they are open-tailed cats." What about the flower peacock?
These people waste most of their energy on these aspects, so that they don't pay attention to production, work, and study. How can the factory's production efficiency be improved?
Contemporary advanced lesbians should have short hair or neat pigtails, and wear simple work clothes or military uniforms, so as to show their heroic appearance as women.
Those young women who are obsessed with dressing up need help and education from all of us. If necessary, they should be severely criticized to make them realize their mistakes..."
Before Song Xiaomei could finish reading the entire article, Shen Mei took out the most inconspicuous set of clothes in the closet and handed it to her daughter, "Wear this set, a white cotton shirt and blue nylon pants. It looks clean and refreshing."
Song Xiaomei reluctantly took the clothes, "Am I going to have to wear this kind of clothes in the future? It doesn't look good at all."
"Now don't think about whether it's beautiful or not. Besides, why would my parents care about this?"
After saying that, after her daughter got dressed, Shen Mei tied up her hair.
"My daughter is so beautiful!" She couldn't help but sigh and said, "She has grown so big in the blink of an eye. I really can't bear to have you get married. Hey, do you really plan to get married so early? Don't wait a few years. ?”
"No wait! What if Zhiyuan is snatched away? He is the best-looking and most handsome man I have ever seen. There are hundreds of people who go to the oil fields from Jinghai City, and none of them are as handsome as him. Yes, he is quite tall, but I like him anyway!"
When she said this, Song Xiaomei's eyes flashed with unabashed affection.
Her mother said: "Girls are afraid of marrying the wrong man. Appearance is not important. The most important thing is character..."
"Zhiyuan has a good character. He doesn't smoke or drink. He doesn't have a bad temper or respect for women like other men. I heard that his parents not only don't favor boys over girls, but also like girls. Such a family won't Raise bad boys.”
Shen Mei was a little surprised, "Really? Didn't you say he has several brothers in his family?"
"Yes, it was because his father really wanted to have a daughter, so he gave birth to several children. It turned out that the first five children were all sons, and the sixth child was a daughter. Zhiyuan always mentioned his sister, saying that his sister looked very good. Very cute.”
Song Xiaomei later said a lot of good things about Su Zhiyuan, and she felt that he was the person she wanted to marry in this life and would never change again.
Shen Mei didn't pay attention to what her daughter said later. She secretly thought in her heart that the husband's family had many brothers, so Xiaomei would no longer have to take care of the Su family's parents in their old age. When the time comes, Xiaomei and the others would be allowed to live near her, and they would not have to worry about it when they get old. can live together.
She has not given birth to a son, and she has been worrying about her own retirement recently...
"Xiao Mei, that's what I thought. Your dad and I will go too today? Since you have determined that you want to marry into the Su family, the marriage must be finalized as soon as possible. Our two families must sit down and have a good talk."
Song Xiaomei was a little surprised, "You and dad are going too? Wouldn't it be good? Zhiyuan planned for me to meet his parents first, but I didn't expect to be so anxious for you to meet..."
"What? As future in-laws, we can't meet each other yet?"
Speaking of this, Shen Mei was more certain about going to see Su Zhiyuan's parents, "I'm going there for your own good, so that your future parents-in-law know that you have someone behind you and you are not someone to be bullied, do you understand? You don't want to be bullied in the future either. Mother-in-law, let’s take care of it, right?”
After listening to her mother's words, Song Xiaomei thought for a while, "Okay, I'll go talk to Zhiyuan."
She looked in the mirror again before walking out.
"Zhiyuan," Song Xiaomei said as she walked to the chess table, "my mother said she wants to go together, is that okay?"
Before Su Zhiyuan could answer, Shen Mei jumped in and said, "Not only me, but Xiaomei's father is also going. Our two families will have a good talk about the marriage of your two children. This kind of thing cannot be taken lightly."
Su Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, "Marriage? This... I haven't thought about it yet..."
"I haven't thought about it? What do you mean?" Shen Mei's expression immediately became serious and she asked with a straight face, "You haven't thought about marrying my little girl, have you? A relationship that does not presuppose marriage is a hooligan, you know have no idea?"
Su Zhiyuan hurriedly explained, "Auntie, you misunderstood. I didn't expect it to be so soon. Xiaomei and I have only been together for less than three months, so I thought we could wait. After all, we are not too old... "
"Three months is long enough. Xiaomei's father and I met one day, fell in love, and got engaged the next day. We didn't see each other for several months after that, and we didn't meet again until the night of the wedding. You have been secretly together for three months, and now you have come back to tell us about your relationship."
Shen Mei snorted displeased, and then said: "If it's later, and the news about your relationship is spread, it won't matter to you, but it will cause a big loss to my little beauty's reputation, do you know?"
"Mom, what are you doing?" Song Xiaomei tugged on her mother's sleeve, "You scared Zhiyuan."
"Silly girl, I am doing this for your own good. Only by confirming your marriage as soon as possible will it be legitimate for you to be together on weekdays. Otherwise, people will gossip and think you are too casual and indiscreet."
Having said this, Shen Mei pushed her husband, "Stop playing chess, you should say something!"
Song Zhuangxian's eyes were still on the chessboard. After moving one of the rooks, he smiled and said: "General! You have no move left."
"I lost again..." Su Zhiyuan said, "My chess skills are poor and I can't compare with Uncle Song."
"The more you learn and practice this chess, the more you gain experience, and you will naturally become better at it."
After speaking with a smile, he stood up and patted Su Zhiyuan on the shoulder, "What Xiaomei's mother just said is quite right. Although you young people advocate free love and don't want three matchmakers and six hires, for the sake of Xiaomei's reputation, you still We have to finalize the marriage."
Song Xiaomei looked at Su Zhiyuan with a blushing face. Her face was as pretty as the peach blossoms that had just bloomed in spring, bright and moving.
Su Zhiyuan couldn't help but look at her at this time, and said with some embarrassment: "As long as Xiaomei agrees to get married, of course... I have no objection."
