Picking mulberries

"He's annoying? Heck, I'm still annoying." Zhuang Huaying said indifferently.

"Why did you tell you about your son, but you act like you're listening to a story? You don't care at all? He called me today, maybe something went wrong." Qiu Jingping was very surprised when he saw his wife's indifferent look. Is angry.

"Did the boy say something went wrong, and did he tell you why?" Seeing that her husband was a little unhappy, Zhuang Huaying asked seriously.

"I didn't elaborate, I guess it has something to do with feelings."

"Oh..., like this, since it's about feelings, let him go. Didn't you say that I overruled him when he was in middle school? Listen to you, now we won't meddle in his feelings. How old are you?" Zhuang Huaying thought in her heart, brat, don't you look heartless all day long, now you're getting annoyed.

"Whether to intervene or not depends on the situation. It's not that you don't know his kind of person. There is no one who is annoying. This time, he must have encountered a problem. How about it, how about you go Take a look and feel at ease." Qiu Jingping once again asked his wife to go to the city to have a look.

"Sang Tiao in the field is so crazy that he has no time to go to his school. Boys are not so squeamish..." Seeing her husband's expression was uneasy, Zhuang Huaying quickly changed her words, "I don't worry because I know his mind. Think about it, since you were a child, you have seen that kid get entangled and troubled by something. The brat has no other abilities, and it is nothing to say that he is open-minded and open-minded. Even if he encounters troubles, I guess he will be gone in two days Dissolved without a trace."

"It's reasonable for you to say that." Hearing what his wife said, Qiu Jingping thought it was true, so he was relieved.

"A Yang really looking for a girlfriend?" Zhuang Huaying had some small expectations in her heart.

"That's not to say, I think there are nine out of ten."

"So we have to prepare to save money. It takes a lot of money to marry a wife now. Oh, my God, don't you brat look for someone who loves to make up and dress up. You will want me when you come in." Giving her 'three diamonds and four golds' won't kill us both."

"What kind of mother are you? Before his girlfriend came, you were crying and poor. Tsk tsk tsk. I'm afraid there will be trouble when the daughter-in-law comes in."

"If you want to make trouble, let them move out and make trouble, just like Qiu Hong, buy a house in the city and live separately, so as not to make us uncomfortable." Zhuang Huaying laughed.

"Come on, don't count me with you. A Yang moves away and I will go with him. I want to help take care of my grandson." Qiu Jingping said very bluntly.

"Ah, husband, are you going to abandon me?" Zhuang Huaying said coquettishly.

"Amitabha Guanyin Bodhisattva," Zhou Guimei came back from the outside with a load of mulberry leaves, and muttered, "If you want to move it, I'll move it first, I really can't stand you two living treasures, no matter how old you are, you are still so greasy. "

"It's not good to be close to your son. Do you want us to quarrel and scold each other every day?" Zhuang Huaying said to her mother-in-law without blushing.

"I'm not used to it. If A Yang's girlfriend comes to the house in the future, don't make her secretly scold you for being old and immoral." Zhou Guimei laughed.

"I remember his girlfriend," Qiu Jingping said to his mother, "Mom, have you seen Song Jiping's daughter from the Song family?"

"Song Jiping from the Song family? Isn't he an official in the city?" Zhou Guimei put down her burden and said.

"What kind of official is a section chief?" Qiu Jingping said with some disdain.

"Song Jiping remembers it very clearly. Didn't he often come to your house to look for you before, but now he is working, and he is not from a village. Besides, he has settled down in the city and doesn't come here often. How can I ever see his daughter? He What happened to your daughter?" Zhou Guimei asked.

"Uncle Song Guigen told me that it seems that Song Jiping has taken a fancy to our family's A Yang and wants to marry his daughter to A Yang."

"There is such a thing? Why didn't you tell me earlier." Zhuang Huaying said excitedly.

"Will it be done if I tell you about it?" Qiu Jingping snorted.

"Would she like A Yang as a city person?" Zhou Guimei asked in disbelief.

"You're an old-headed person. Nowadays, ordinary city people don't live as well as our country people. Don't worry about eating and drinking. You almost have no fields and no land at work. Living is a problem. Song Jiping is a man who understands. People, if we get married with us, build a new house in the countryside, eat ecological vegetables, drink pure mineral water, and inhale natural oxygen bars, he will be so beautiful. The food is much better." Zhuang Huaying hurriedly said.

"Hey, from what you said, it seems that life in the countryside is the most ideal. I don't think there are any city people who really come to the countryside to settle down." Qiu Jingping sneered.

"You think your son will come back after graduation, and he's still living in the city." Zhou Guimei also choked at her daughter-in-law.

"Didn't he say it a long time ago, returning from his studies will benefit his hometown? Look at his character, he will never forget his original intention. He wanted to learn this major at the beginning to match the main business of his family. If someone like Qiu Hong In that way, although I live in a big city and my reputation sounds quite good, but my life is not the kind of wage life that I work for others from [-] to [-], and I can’t get together with my family once a year. Look at it His wife, not to mention us, even sister-in-law has no family relationship, what's the point. Besides, your grandson and you both believe in Buddhism, so there is no bodhisattva to worship in the city." Zhuang Huaying laughed.

"My old lady doesn't know the world. Some temples in the city are bigger than those in Ruijinshan." Zhou Guimei spread the mat in the yard, and with the help of her son, she shook the mulberry leaves on the mat. "Farewell It’s too full, let’s talk about whether to stay in the city or go back to the countryside until A Yang graduates.”

"I gave A Yang's phone number to Cousin Guigen, and asking him to tell Song Jiping depends on the fate of the young man himself. Whether it will work or not is another matter," Qiu Jingping said.

"Of course that's the only way to do it. We can take care of A Yang's marriage." Zhuang Huaying nodded.

"Don't worry," Zhou Guimei said with a smile, "The Bodhisattva told me that our family, Ayang, has noble people to help him in his life, so don't worry about his other half, it's very good, it's quite a match."

"When did the Bodhisattva tell you that it was a dream again?" Zhuang Huaying said with a smile.

"Don't worry about what you told me, anyway, you just relax when it comes to marriage." Zhou Guimei snorted.

"I'm not worried about it at all," Zhuang Huaying said confidently, "Our Ayang is not a brat, he will love whoever he sees, and he won't worry about not being able to find a partner."

"Hmph, how many handsome guys have been single until old age, you think that a good-looking skin is omnipotent, if you have this thought in your heart, then there will be a time when you want to cry but have no tears." Qiu Jingping snorted.

"Husband, you just have to be 120-hearted. How could our son be reduced to the point where he will be single and fight until he grows old?" Zhuang Huaying said confidently. Many, at least they can line up from our yard to Longgong Street."

"What nonsense are you talking about? If you don't know how to use metaphors, don't use them. It's not like what a mother said." Qiu Jingping rolled his eyes at his wife.

"Don't worry about it, A Yang's marriage line hasn't started yet," Zhou Guimei interjected, "Once it starts, it can't be stopped."

"Oh, you look more and more like a fortune teller." Qiu Jingping said his mother.

"Uh, by the way, I remembered Song Jiping. Husband, you were very good with him when you were studying, why haven't you seen each other now?" Zhuang Huaying, who washed her hands to help cut mulberry leaves Suddenly said to Qiu Jingping.

"I don't know why. What do you want? We are officials and we are civilians. There is no intersection." Qiu Jingping straightened up from the mat and shook the mulberry leaves on his body.

"You forgot," Zhuang Huaying reminded, "I remember when you were in high school, he was very nice to you, and he often gave you delicious food, such books and such books. For a while, your bicycle was reported as destroyed If you don’t have a car, he still picks you up every day.”

"Strange thing, how can you remember something that I don't even remember?" Qiu Jingping said with a smile.

"I wasn't your loyal fan back then, of course I paid attention to your every move." Zhuang Huaying laughed.Zhou Guimei, who was squatting next to the mat, was laughing in her heart. What kind of loyal fans are you? It’s clearly a piece of brown candy that can’t be shaken off. It’s not because you are always clinging to my son. Maybe he is now a state cadre like Song Jiping.

"When I was studying, I got closer to him," Qiu Jingping felt a little embarrassed when his wife said that in front of his mother, "Isn't he a level above us, and after he went to college, we gradually lost contact. "

"Yeah," Zhou Guimei nodded, "You were very close at that time, either he was eating at our house, or you were eating at his house, and I'm also very surprised why you don't see each other anymore."

"We've all got married and established businesses. Everyone has their own lives. If they can't get along, they will of course be estranged." Qiu Jingping explained.

"Don't tell me, Song Jiping really has nothing to say. If Ah Yang can really date his daughter, it would be a good choice to have an in-law like him." Zhou Guimei laughed.

"It happened so many years ago, and now you don't know him well, so how do you know that you can be at ease if you marry him?" Qiu Jingping said with a curled lip.

"People who treat you well are generally easy to get along with," Zhuang Huaying said.

"What kind of logic are you talking about, oh, the co-authors who treat me well are good men and women, and you regard me as a Bodhisattva." Qiu Jingping was speechless.

"It's almost the same. Anyway, I think that people who treat you well are not bad at all." Zhuang Huaying said with certainty.

"A lot of nonsense." Qiu Jingping snorted.

"I still remember the last time," Zhuang Huaying reminded, "we went to the city to buy fungi together with others, and when we met up with Uncle Guigen, didn't we meet Song Jiping? Oh, he was so polite to you, I remember being obsessed with it, inviting you to dinner and coffee, and giving you so many gifts, treating you like your own younger brother, but you are lukewarm, which makes me a little embarrassed to be on the sidelines. "

"I don't have much to communicate with him, and I haven't contacted him in normal times, so I can't play any false enthusiasm." Qiu Jingping said plainly.

"That's true." Zhuang Huaying agreed, but she thought in her heart that when she was studying, her grades were good, but her life trajectory was very different. One was a poor man living a peasant life in the countryside, and the other not only passed the exams but also had a smooth career. Living as a civil servant with no worries about food and clothing, I am afraid that even the best friends will become unfamiliar. The last time Song Jiping was so enthusiastic about her husband, he was not only showing off his friendship as a landlord, but also meant to show off in front of her husband. In this way, the husband's indifference is understandable.

In fact, Qiu Jingping's lukewarm treatment of Song Jiping was not because Song Jiping's social status was better than his own, but for other reasons. Qiu Jingping felt that Song Jiping was a little strange.

Although Qiu Jingping had a good relationship with Song Jiping when he was in high school, they were always close together, but Song Jiping was a grade higher than him, and their friendship was all because Song Jiping took the initiative to approach him and please him.

In the beginning, Qiu Jingping also liked the feeling of being taken care of like a big brother. He usually took the initiative to ask Song Jiping, who had excellent grades and was one level higher than himself, about his homework. The relationship between the two was very close.However, as the two of them stayed together longer and longer, Qiu Jingping's mentality gradually changed subtly, and he felt a little repulsed to be alone with Song Jiping.It's not because Song Jiping has body odor or bad breath. On the contrary, Song Jiping not only has no peculiar smell, but looks comparable to Qiu Jingping. He is very handsome. The reason why Qiu Jingping alienates him psychologically is because he feels disgusted with Song Jiping's petty gestures.

What little tricks?Qiu Jingping felt that sometimes when Song Jiping was with him, his gestures were too intimate, which made him feel very uncomfortable. For example, sometimes when he overcame a difficult problem under his guidance, Song Jiping would kiss him on the cheek, Saying words of encouragement and praise made Qiu Jingping feel like a little kid in front of him, which hurt his manly self-esteem.As time went by, Song Jiping's intimacy became more and more frequent, Qiu Jingping felt conflicted, so he didn't like staying with Song Jiping very much.Fortunately, Song Jiping was admitted to the university soon after, and the two separated, which made Qiu Jingping heave a sigh of relief.

After Song Jiping went to university, he often wrote letters to Qiu Jingping at the beginning, talking about life in the city and the university campus, but Qiu Jingping never replied. Later, Song Jiping didn't get any response, so he didn't contact him again. After passing Qiu Jingping, the relationship between the two faded before they knew it, which is why Qiu Jingping was not very excited when he heard Song Guigen say that he took the initiative to introduce his daughter to his son.

Now being mentioned by his wife, Qiu Jingping reflected back and forth, and felt that he had overreacted to Song Jiping. He had always loved and cared for him when he was studying, and sent him a lot of things from the city shortly after entering university. I can only buy the review materials for the college entrance examination, but I am very indifferent and indifferent to him, always letting other people's hot faces touch my cold ass, and my behavior is indeed a bit too stingy, not a manly act.Next time you meet, you might as well be more magnanimous. If you don’t like to make friends with those who behave frivolously, you won’t put on a bad face. Now that you are in your forties, the friendship of those innocent years is also the same. a kind of wealth.
