"So you're saying that I didn't teach her well?”His mother questioned.
"I didn't mean that. Why do you always think that way?”his father said.
"Tomorrow, go and ask her what's going on.”his mother said.
"I'm not going. If you want to go, go by yourself." Dad retorted.
"I'm the only one who gave birth to your daughter, right? Are you not going to care about her?" Mom glared at Dad.
" She's an adult. She has her own thoughts. She thinks it's right. Let her do it herself. She'll understand in the future," his father said.
"She's been spoiled by you. In the future, you won't care if she kills or sets fire.”his mother said.
"I gave birth to my own daughter. I know her personality and what she's thinking. In the future, don't scold her for no reason. She's not a child anymore. Try to let her make her own decisions.”his father said.
"Let her make her own decision? Wouldn't that be heaven? No, she's already twenty years old this year. It's time for her to find a husband, don't you think?”Mom pushed Dad and said.
"What's the hurry? Afraid of not getting married? Don't make the decision on your own and ask for Zhixia's opinion. Otherwise, it would really cause a ruckus.”his father said.
"I gave birth to her. Of course, half of her marriage is up to me. She can't let her personality decide.”
" Early in the morning, before Zhixia woke up, she heard a lot of noise downstairs. She opened the window and looked downstairs. She was a little shocked. Why did you come to my house with such a strong aura?”
Suddenly, Zhi Xia realized something. He put on a windbreaker and hurried downstairs.
"He is? Zhi Xia looked at the boy next to his mother. She couldn't remember who he was. She seemed to have seen him somewhere before. I just can't remember."
They saw that Zhi Xia was dressed a little strangely and looked at him with strange eyes.
Zhi Xia stared at them without blinking. Then, he walked to his mother's side and asked softly,""Mom, are you giving me a surprise early in the morning? Why did they bring so many gifts?”
" Call me Uncle Cao and Auntie Yang," his mother said.
"Uncle, Auntie, hello!" Zhi Xia greeted with a smile.
Uncle and Auntie smiled and thanked him.
"Go change your clothes and wash your face first. I'll talk to you later.”His mother said happily.
Zhi Xia didn't say anything. He walked into his mother's room, closed the door, and watched TV.
Zhixia, come out quickly!" his mother called out.
"Oh!" Zhi Xia replied unhurriedly.
" Come, his name is Hu Tong," his mother introduced.
This is my daughter, Zhixia." As she spoke, her mother pushed Zhi Xia aside.
" The alley..." Zhi Xia couldn't help but laugh.
"I've made a fool of myself in front of you." Hu Tong said with a red face.
Zhi Xia just smiled and didn't say anything.
"Don't be offended. She's always like this. We didn't teach her well.”her mother said awkwardly.
"It's okay, Auntie. I like girls who are straightforward. That way, we won't be too far apart. It's easier to get along with." Hu Tong said with a smile.
"He likes to be straightforward? Something was wrong? Why is it like a blind date?" Zhi Xia thought to himself.
"Hutong, you and your parents should have lunch here before leaving!”His mother greeted him warmly.
"It's okay, Auntie. We're going back. I'll visit you when I'm free.”Hu Tong replied politely.
" I've eaten…" His mother hadn't finished speaking.
"I won't send you off!" Zhi Xia said with a smile.
Just as he walked out of the alley, Zhi Xia stopped him and said,""Please take it away! Thank you."
"I bought it for Auntie. Please accept it. Otherwise, we'll feel very bad.”Hu Tong said.
"There's no need to feel bad. Our Xie family never takes other people's things for free. Please take them back!”Zhi Xia said.
"Alright, I'll take it back." Hutong carried his things and left.
When they were a little further away from the alley, his mother said, Gu Zhixia, are you crazy?"
"Mom, what is that person doing here?" Zhi Xia asked.
"He came to see me. Why? Look at me, you have an opinion too?" her mother asked.
"Mom, don't treat me like a fool. I have eyes.”Zhi Xia said.
"Yes, he wants to marry you. I think he's alright, so I asked him to come over and take a look.”his mother said.
"I don't want to get married at all, Mom." Zhi Xia said.
"I'm not asking you to get married. It's just that you're twenty years old now. All the families that are a little later have been chosen by others. In the end, the only ones left are either successful people who will definitely not be interested in you or people who have achieved nothing.”His mother said firmly.
"What kind of stupid logic is that? I already said that I won't marry here! You should give up on that idea as soon as possible!" Zhi Xia said firmly.
"Do you not like the people here? Or are you dating someone else?" His mother questioned.
"It's not that I don't like the people here. I understand that I'm also of the same class. I don't expect to marry someone rich or outstanding. I just want someone I like.”Zhi Xia replied.
"So you're saying that you have someone you like outside?”His mother continued to ask.
"I didn't!" Zhi Xia retorted.
"It's good that you don't. If you fall in love outside, don't come back in the future. I don't have a daughter like you!”his mother said.
"I really don't know how to describe you or the people here. Do you have to push your daughter into the fire pit? Can't you guys put yourselves in their shoes? Once she got married, it would be for the rest of her life!”Zhi Xia continued.
"Alright, I won't argue with you. Anyway, you have to do as I say. I'll make the decision on your marriage.”his mother said.
"I don't want to argue with you about this. Even if I want to marry, I won't marry here. I won't marry someone I don't like.”Zhi Xia added.
When she was 20 years old, it was also a period of rebellion and conflict. She would never allow others to interfere in whatever she wanted to do. She always naively thought that the world was so big that she did not know how to choose her future path.
"Old Gu, I think the alley we came to today was okay. I gave Zhixia's number to him.”his mother said.
"I think you really have nothing to do? Why did they talk about these things all day? She was a 20-year-old girl. She had already reached the age of understanding. She should think about her future. She needed to start learning how to arrange her own life independently. Not arranged." his father said.
"It's useless to tell you. I just think it's very good. You can see it tomorrow. He's handsome, rich, and a university graduate. Most importantly, he's a good person.”His mother said happily.
"Come on, our Zhixia is too high to be in the same league as you. As they say, people of the same rank get together with people of the same rank. Look at the TV shows. Are those rich people with rich people? It was impossible for a primary school graduate to be together with a university student. If that was the case, they would not have a common language and would not be able to live together.”his father said.
"Don't talk to me about those great principles. I didn't study either, right? You married me, didn't you do the same? Besides, our Zhixia is also a university student, it's just that he hasn't graduated.”Mom retorted.
"Our era was different. At that time, it was the order of our parents. It's different now. Dad said."
"Alright, alright, I'll give you my opinion.”his mother said.
"I can't be bothered with you. I'm going to sleep!" As he spoke, his father went to sleep.
Zhi Xia sat alone in front of the mirror. He opened the window and looked out. His heart was empty as he recalled what his mother had said. Why didn't she want to marry here?
In fact, it was mostly related to Zhiyu. Before, she thought that if she had two choices, she would choose to marry here without hesitation because she wanted to marry Wang Zhiyu. Now that he was married, Zhixia wanted to avoid him and stay away from him. That way, even if she was not doing well, he would not know. That way, she would not think of him.
"I don't know why, but I always think of him for no reason. She thought of his smile, his worry, his expression, his actions…She recalled them over and over again.”
" Ding dong..." Zhi Xia received a text message on her phone. She opened it and saw that it was an unknown number, and it was a local number. The content of the message was: "Are you asleep? Guess who I am?"
Zhi Xia didn't reply and continued to send another message,""Are you already asleep?"
Zhi Xia still didn't respond. He turned off his phone and took out a bottle of wine from the drawer."I wanted to drink, but there was no one to accompany me. As I spoke, my tears couldn't help but flow down."This wine is really more effective than medicine. When you're drunk, your heart won't hurt anymore, and your injured tears will also be drunk dry. Because all the longing has turned into tears and wine, each drop hurts your heart even more.”
"Wang Zhiyu, you will never understand how much I love you, and you will never know how many times I cried for you. I have no regrets. Why?" Zhi Xia shouted.
She climbed onto the bed from the cold floor, tears still lingering in the corners of her eyes. The dim yellow light shone on the table alone. There was a burnt photo on the table, and Zhiyu was smiling like a flower. There was a shadow trembling under the blanket on the bed. It curled up into a ball as Zhi Xia burst into tears.
Unknowingly, she had stayed at home for a month. This month was so difficult. There were only a few days left until the new year. She always thought that she could go out and escape from everything here in a few more days. However, what should have come still had to come.
"I won't marry you!" Zhi Xia said loudly.
"It's not up to you. I said I'll get married and I have to get married. Get the birth characters tomorrow. After the New Year, you'll go to Shanghai with him!”his mother said.
"I said I won't marry you, so I won't marry you. It's best if you give up that thought!”Zhi Xia said firmly.
"You told me to give up on that idea. You're the one who should give up on that idea. No matter what, I'll get the birth date tomorrow.”Mother glared at Zhi Xia and said.
