Xue Cong came in with a smile on his face and carried new year's goods, hugged Xue Ling, and then hugged Xue's father and mother.
"I came here today. In addition to wishing my uncle, aunt and everyone New Year greetings, I also want to share some good news with you."
Xue Ling stared in surprise: "Has she been promoted to mother-in-law?"
"Yo!"
Xue Cong laughed loudly: "Why are you so smart?
Sure enough, businessmen are different, they have a particularly good sense of smell.
I haven’t even started to say this yet, you already know it.”
"real?
!”
Father Xue said in surprise: "Meimei has a partner?"
Xue’s mother quickly asked: “Where is my boyfriend from?”
Xue Cong smiled and replied: "He is from the south, tall and thin, with a decent appearance.
To use young people’s terminology, he is a typical handsome man.”
"How can the person Ami likes be so bad?"
Xue Ling couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I think about how many young talents I introduced to her, but she didn't catch any of them."
"That's because she has good conditions."
Father Xue gave a thumbs up: "The little girl is tall, has a beautiful face, and has strong scientific research ability. How can she fall in love with ordinary people?"
"She's almost thirty."
Xue Cong shook his head helplessly: "What a little girl! Uncle, even in front of you old people, she is a little girl.
Over the years, she has made me worry a lot.
The young men introduced by Lingling are all top-notch talents, but she just doesn't like them.
Friends and relatives also introduced me a lot, but she never nodded once."
"The problem is finally solved!"
Xue Ling laughed loudly: "I can finally marry her off."
"Hurry, hurry!"
Xue Cong replied with a smile: "We will get engaged in the spring and plan to get married in the third month of the lunar calendar.
The date has been decided, and once the in-laws' arrangements are finalized, we will immediately notify everyone to have a wedding banquet."
"Okay, okay!"
Everyone was happy and laughed: "What good news! Good news!"
Xue Ling asked curiously: "Sister, who is this person?
How could he steal Xiaomei's heart?
Internships should not be underestimated!”
"Yep!"
Xue's mother smiled and said: "Ma Li, tell us a little bit about our future brother-in-law."
Xue Cong stopped and said, "He's not young anymore, he's already in his thirties!"
"Most of today's young people prefer to marry later and have children later."
Xue’s father shook his head and said with a smile: “I don’t know what’s going on?
They don’t dare to take responsibility, right?
The responsibility is all theirs. If they don't shoulder it now, they will have to shoulder it in the future.
There is nothing wrong with early marriage and early pregnancy. Becoming parents earlier will allow the older generation to become grandparents earlier - how wonderful!"
"You think it's good, but young people don't think so at all."
Mother Xue pointed at the TV with squinted eyes: "A lot of programs now are dating programs.
If girls and boys can fall in love freely, there is no need for the old routine of blind dates, right?
Some people say that their young people are smart and don’t want to get married or have a family, but in the eyes of our older generation, they just don’t have the guts to take responsibility.”
"That's right! That's what I think."
Xue's father said: "Our era was so hard, but no matter how hard it was, men still wanted to marry a lovely wife and live a happy life.
It was so difficult at that time, and sometimes we couldn't even guarantee food and drink. We were all willing to get married and take on family responsibilities.
Life is so good now. As long as you work hard, you don't have to worry about starvation or poverty.
But I never expected that as life improved and living standards improved, young people would not want to get married. They even advocated late marriage and late childbearing, and the emergence of DINKs and unmarried people.
Sigh... I really don’t understand the young people today!”
"If you understand, you are a young man."
Xue Ling suppressed a smile: "What young people think and like nowadays are beyond the understanding of people of our generation, let alone you old people."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Father Xue shook his head: "We don't understand, but the road we have walked is longer than the bridge they walked.
As the old saying goes, if you don't listen to the old man's advice, you will suffer the consequences."
"Today's young people pursue themselves."
Xue Ling analyzed: "They have strong self-awareness, pursue independent thinking and independent personality, and emphasize the need to have a unique personality."
"What does it mean to be independent?"
Father Xue said amusedly: "If you want to be so independent, why don't you try living on an isolated island for a few days?
Independent thought and personality?
Humans are inherently group animals, and the same principle applies to living in a group of monkeys.
It is easy for a group of people to get along, but how can a person get along alone?
By the way, what is the name of that person who is wandering on an isolated island?"
Xue Cong hurriedly replied: "Robinson Crusoe."
"Yeah."
Father Xue said: "When people live on a deserted island, they need a 'Friday' to keep them company, otherwise they will not be able to survive at all.
People, if they don't speak for a few days and no one communicates with them, they will soon become dull and stutter when speaking.
These facts are telling the younger generation that there is no absolute true independence, and those are just excuses for their rebellion.
As long as you are human, you must respect human nature and reality.
Spirit is based on matter, and matter cannot be separated from the masses. How can spirit have individuality?
It is very good to pursue uniqueness, but there is no so-called independent thought and personality, because those cannot exist."
Xue Ling and Xue Cong looked at each other, then smiled and clapped.
"Dad is really a treasure that never grows old!"
"Uncle, where did you come from?
Haha! Impossible! Lingling’s children are very well-behaved, and I heard they all have girlfriends, right?"
Father Xue laughed loudly and pointed to the TV and explained: "There was a young people's program earlier, and the host always talked about being independent, which made me a little annoyed, so I quickly changed the channel.
You guys happened to mention it, so I took the opportunity to chat about it."
"well said."
Xue Cong gave a thumbs up: "Uncle, although you have retired for many years, you have never been out of touch with the real society."
"There is a TV!"
Father Xue replied with a smile.
Mother Xue pushed him away, scolding and whispering: "Okay, okay, if you really have any big theory, why did you go there so early?"
Why not become that theorist and philosopher?
Don't embarrass yourself so that your own daughter and niece can support you."
Xue's father sneered and backed away.
Mother Xue laughed, her face full of gossip.
"Gong, the topic just now was diverted by him.
Let’s continue talking about my sister-in-law, tell us quickly.”
Xue Cong smiled and held her hand.
"He is my wife's student, his surname is Zeng.
He was sent abroad on a secret mission more than ten years ago and did not return to China until last year.
Later, his superiors transferred him back to the imperial capital and worked in the national defense department.
As soon as he settled down, he came to visit my wife.
I didn't pay attention at first. When I saw that it was already dinner time, I left him to eat.
My stinky girl came downstairs and was stunned when she saw him.
Xiao Zeng also stared at her and dropped the chopsticks in his hands.
We asked them if they knew each other, but they didn't say anything."
"It should be that he has dealt with people abroad before."
Xue Ling blinked and guessed: "Maybe they even dated!"
