Li Shiyi's parents look older than their real age.
After all, as the eldest child in the family, Li Shiyi is now almost twenty-seven years old. It is conservatively estimated that her parents are around twenty years old, so she is just approaching fifty by all calculations.
He is in his forties, but his appearance is not much different from that of his sixties.
They have white hair on their temples and are on the thin side. Years of hard work make them look very tired.
Compared with the enthusiasm of the mother, who is the father, he seems to be much calmer.
From the first time we met, this man had been smoking, silently sitting on the luggage beside him, listening to the conversation between the couple.
Such a scene was reflected in Liu Weicheng's eyes. Seeing the scene of family reunion, he had no intention of disturbing him at first.
It wasn't until Li Shiyi's mother turned her attention to him that this passionate conversation was interrupted.
"Shiyi, who is he?"
At first, he thought he was just a stranger passing by with his children, but after chatting for several minutes, Liu Weicheng in front of him still had no intention of leaving.
Faced with this situation, even if the reaction is slow, it is clear that the other party has some kind of relationship with his child.
As soon as the woman finished speaking, Liu Weicheng, who had been silent until now, immediately responded.
He walked a few steps forward and came to the two of them on the steps.
Open your mouth and introduce yourself.
"Hello, uncle and aunt, I am Li Shiyi's friend."
Then he took out his cigarette from his pocket and handed it to the man who had been smoking silently.
There are good and bad cigarettes.
Li Shiyi's father probably smoked a very cheap kind. The paper wrapped in tobacco shriveled after just a few puffs. When he saw the cigarette Liu Weicheng handed him, he hesitated for a moment and finally reached out to take it.
Subconsciously he put it under his nose and smelled it. Even without lighting it, he knew it was a rare and good smoke.
"Li Shiyi is currently working at my place, and the salary is pretty good. Although 3,000 a month is not much, she also has five insurances and one housing fund."
"..."
"..."
Li Shiyi's parents were obviously dumbfounded when these words came out.
In this year and age, ordinary people go out to work. It is not easy to find a job that pays 3,000 yuan a month. Even if you can find it, most of it is the kind of hard work that requires a lot of physical strength.
Generally speaking, when women go out to work, most of them work in factories. The working hours are long and the money they receive is not much.
Three thousand yuan...much more than the two of them earn from working at home.
In addition, Liu Weicheng looks very young, so young and so capable, this kind of thing seems a bit difficult for the two of them to understand.
"The snow outside has just stopped, and it's quite cold not to mention it's wet. Let's go back to the house and talk."
After making a suggestion, Liu Weicheng took the initiative to chat with the two of them. After picking up the luggage they brought, he took the initiative to walk into the corridor as if he was about to go upstairs.
Li Shiyi, who was behind, never spoke. It wasn't until Liu Weicheng left with his things that he whispered to his parents.
"If you have anything to say, go back first. It's not convenient downstairs."
"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back."
Hearing her daughter's words, Li Shiyi's mother responded, and then turned her attention to her grandson, whom she had not seen for a long time.
In my memory, I only met Yunyun once a few years ago when she was born. Subsequently, the relationship with her daughter broke down, resulting in Yunyun not returning to her hometown for several years.
The rough palm stretched out. Yunyun, who was lively not long ago, became timid again. Her little hand tightly grabbed her mother's arm. When she saw her grandmother reaching out to her, she immediately hid in fear.
The image of being scared by one's own grandson is really hard to accept.
He showed a wry smile and retracted his hand in embarrassment. Then the couple fell a step behind and followed him upstairs, carrying the remaining luggage.
Arriving at the door of her home, Li Shiyi took out her keys from her bag.
After opening the door, he first helped Liu Weicheng carry some luggage into the house. After his parents followed him in, he stepped forward and closed the security door.
We were just at the entrance of the corridor, and maybe passers-by would pass by while we were chatting.
As the saying goes, family scandals should not be made public. Even if there is a conflict with her parents, Li Shiyi does not want her neighbors to see her jokes.
After closing the door, there were only five people in the whole room including the confused Yunyun.
I turned around and looked at the things my parents had brought in large and small bags.
There was no emotion at all on her face.
"Tell me, what do you want to do here?"
"..."
She was not as happy as when her parents came all the way to visit her. Ever since the day she planned to divorce Wu Yong, her relationship with her natal family had been at loggerheads.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have thought of going home for the holidays in the past few years.
The daughter almost had the word "unwelcome" written on her face. Such a scene would inevitably make the couple feel a little uncomfortable.
After all, the Li Shiyi in front of her is the couple's first child.
The woman was hesitant and speechless, but the man who had been silent all the time spoke in response.
"Your brother is married and has a baby soon."
"Then what."
"As an aunt, you didn't say anything about going home to see me."
"What should I go back to see?"
The tone of her voice suddenly rose a lot, and this sentence seemed to hit Li Shiyi's sad place.
Growing up, she always felt that her parents had a special relationship with the only son in the family.
Although she was the eldest daughter in the family, she had to go out to work early because of her younger brother. She was forced to arrange a marriage. After getting married, she didn't ask whether she was happy or not.
From the beginning to the end, their minds were focused on their only son, and they had no intention of paying attention to her at all.
"Did you think about this when you sold me?"
It's a bit harsh to say it.
In Li Shiyi's eyes, her failed marriage with Wu Yong was no different than selling her daughter.
When she first told her family that she wanted a divorce, she met with opposition. Li Shiyi had reason to suspect that her parents were afraid that the man would ask for the gift money back, so they persuaded her to be patient.
Faced with such injustice, it is no wonder that Li Shiyi has not returned home for several years.
The most difficult period has passed, and now I am alone with my children, living a comfortable life and having a very stable job.
Days like this already make Li Shiyi very satisfied.
Who would have thought that my parents, whom I had not seen for a long time, would appear again.
In Li Shiyi's life, her parents never cared about her at all, so she couldn't help but speculate about her parents' arrival this time.
"What do you want to do here this time? My brother's child is about to be born, so you have no money? You want to get some from me? That's actually what you are thinking, right?"
"Shiyi..."
"Isn't it always like this? Just under the guise of looking at me, but actually thinking about how to use me."
"..."
Listening to Li Shiyi's words, the two parents fell completely silent.
They themselves are also very aware of the injustice their daughters have suffered over the years.
It's just that...with the idea that doing more is worse than doing less, I have been persuading my daughter on the matter of marriage.
