Tomorrow can be expected + extra episode

"In the eyes of your father, mother and many elders, you are only 12 years old this year, young and unable to be independent, immature in thinking, and still a child. So they make decisions for you, whether you like that decision or not. Like it, whether you are suitable or not."

"If in the future, you want your life to be truly up to you, you have to become stronger. In layman's terms, it is to become economically powerful, rich, cultured, connotative, correct judgment and Three Views. To put it bluntly, the minimum requirement is to be better than your parents. Only in this way can you have the capital to fight against multiple-choice questions that you don’t like in your later life.”

……

……

This is another reason why Jiang Chen gave up Peking University and chose HKUST.

It was also the driving force for her to seize the opportunity to start a business and enter the society when she was in college.

She understood this truth after she was sure that she liked Jane Ting.

If she can't become stronger as soon as possible, if she can't break away from relying on her parents as soon as possible, she will still be a child who depends on her parents in the eyes of her parents and others, and she will not have much capital in the dialogue with her parents.

People who are always at a disadvantage in front of their parents cannot demand or choose what they want.

She forced herself to grow and mature in urgency, and made decisive choices in prudence.

……

……

In the last three years of his undergraduate course and his postgraduate year, Jiang Chen and his parents talked and fought most on the issue of homosexuality.

Jiang Chen knew very well that his parents were traditional Chinese parents.

They will not accept that their daughter has a crush on someone of the same sex.

In their previous lives, they never imagined for a moment that their daughter would not marry a opposite sex, complete the normal life in their eyes, and live a normal life.

Jiang Chen tried to make his own efforts, first of all in understanding his parents.

……

……

Jiang's mother tried to introduce high-quality love partners to her daughter from the first year of freshman year. Naturally, the partners were all boys.

Jiang Chen refused all of them.

In the process, she emphasized the meaning of life with her parents.

Strong love, even marriage and having children are not mandatory options in life (for women), they are all optional things.

She also emphasized the independence of women, telling her parents clearly that she did not want to live a life dependent on anyone.

Anyone can leave themselves, including their own parents.

What's more, love in love does not flow in one direction.

It requires a passionate and sincere interaction between two people, and it cannot be perfect and complete as they say "find someone who treats you well".

No one should always be nice to you, and no one can always be nice to you without asking for a response.

Love needs to be answered, and being in love is an interactive relationship.

……

……

Jiang Chen chose forbearance and silence in his love in the early stage, and he also chose patience and silence when he confessed that he likes Jane Ting.

When she was a student, even though she had done a lot of part-time jobs and had a lot of lucky money, she also knew clearly that she was still a "child" in the eyes of her parents, and she was still the "proletarian" who had to rely on her parents for a living.

One thing love has taught her is to appeal to options when they are full-fledged.

……

……

It was the summer of 15, and my mother once again brought up a blind date.

Jiang Chen had no choice but to reply to his mother in the most straightforward way.

"Mom, let me ask you, who bought the sofa you are sitting on now? Who bought everything in this house? Who bought this house?"

"You know the price of this house. Although my company has only been established for one year, there are nearly a hundred employees. You have been doing accounting work in the past and now. If you are free, why not come to my company first and have a look at the accounts Let's talk about this after reading it, shall we?"

"Yes, the boys introduced by those aunts are good. The family conditions are good, the salary is good, and the people may be good, and there are civil servants, doctors, public institutions, and multinational companies. You can pick any one who is a high-quality son-in-law in your eyes. Comparable Is it a little short of my salary? Oh, yes, I don’t have a salary card, what I have is a profit statement.”

"Mom, in the final analysis, do you want a door-to-door son-in-law? Or do you think it's okay for me to raise children and support the family?"

At the end of the conversation, Jiang Mu's silence ended.

The mother, who has always been strong, died for the first time because she couldn't answer her daughter's questions.

The next day, Mother Jiang really went to the company's financial department to check the accounts...

Then, she was more silent.

After a long period of time, Jiang's mother never mentioned a blind date with her daughter again.

The conditions of the boys introduced by those friends seem to be very good, but even the most basic salary is far less than that of my daughter.

……

……

At the end of 15, the only real estate in the college-concentrated area of ​​Xicheng District opened for sale.

Jiang Chen had reserved 5 shops on the street earlier.

On the day when the house purchase contract was officially signed, she took her parents there.

So far in her life, she is only half the age of her parents, but she already owns real estate that her parents have struggled for in half her life.

On this day, she confessed the secret in her heart.

She loves Jane to listen to.

After a long period of indifference, resentment and reprimand, they are no longer parents who can't control their children's lives.

I have to admit, I have to admit that the child in their eyes has long been an existence beyond themselves.

……

……

Since that day, Jiang Chen has never had any disputes with his parents.

There is no need anymore.

She is still a filial daughter in the eyes of others.

Every week, no matter how busy I am at work, I will find time to go home for a night, and I always bring gifts with me every time I go home.

The food and clothing expenses of parents are all admired and envied by others.

For the refurbishment of the old house, the decorator's wages and material costs were all drawn from her bank card.

No one else has said this daughter's not...

Except on the singleness issue.

……

……

Another year passed, and one person who returned home became two people, and one daughter became two daughters.

When he is not busy, Jiang Chen will take Jane Ting back to his parents' house for dinner.

Those harsh words spoken in the past years, those resentments and rebukes that felt as uncomfortable as a needle prick in Jiang Chen's heart, were eventually worn away by time.

They will not say any harsh words in front of Jane Ting, but express their final attitude with their own indifference.

……

……

Another dinner for four, Mother Jiang chased out the door after the two left.

How can the hard-talking mother, who deliberately pretended to be at dinner, leave half a point after the child leaves home?

The yellow peaches that my younger brother sent by mail, Jiang's mother made canned yellow peaches yesterday, waiting for her daughter to take them back.

She chased out the door with the paper bag, and saw two people from a distance.

The beautiful child whom he had only gotten to know in recent years was squatting on the ground so delicately that he was holding up his trousers for his girl.

The sun was shining slightly outside the unit building, and the mighty mother stopped in her tracks.

……

……

At the end of summer, the greedy Father Jiang ate too much seafood.

The relapse of gout made my wife panic at the first moment.

Mother Jiang hurriedly called Jiang Chen, but there were two people who rushed to the hospital.

Seeing her daughter coming, Mother Jiang immediately had a backbone.

She left her daughter to accompany her husband in the consulting room, and went outside to get some air by herself.

As soon as he went out, he saw Jane Ting looking anxiously not far outside the clinic.

Looking at each other, Jane Ting stepped forward to say hello.

"Auntie, I'm sorry...it's raining outside, Jiang Chen can't drive, so I sent her here."

The embarrassment in the explanation is true, but the following words cannot be true.

That beautiful child not only sent her daughter here, but she was also the one who ran up and down the hospital with the receipts.

In the end, that beautiful child returned anxiously to her daughter and massaged her arms...

Later, Jiang's mother realized that her daughter's hands would hurt in rainy days.

……

……

On the day of signing the wedding ceremony in London, Jiang Chen called his mother.

"Mom, Xiao Ting and I are in London now."

"We're going to get married."

……

……

On the day of the wedding, two stubborn middle-aged people still arrived at the scene.

They are a full week ahead.

Just like normal Chinese parents, they are busy with their children's wedding.

The daughter still took her father's arm and walked on the flowery road of happiness.

The mother still burst into tears when her daughters served tea.

……

……

Because they are parents, there is always love.

Because I am a human being, I will always reconcile with myself in the years to come.
