my summer

The living room is not big and not very ventilated. At this time, the smell of cigarettes filled the room, which made me want to cough as soon as I entered.

Dad walked back to the sofa and sat down, lit a cigarette again and put it in his mouth.

"Dad, you should smoke less." I sat next to him, "You didn't smoke much before."

Dad looked at me calmly, smoked the cigarette with a few puffs, then took the butt of the cigarette and pressed it hard in the ashtray for a while, before he asked, "What's the relationship between you and Xia Zhi now?"

Sure enough, I guessed right.

"Before... I regarded Xia Zhi as... my brother..." I said carefully.

"What about now?" Dad said in a deep voice, "I ask you now."

"Now..." My brain flicked back and forth countless times between confession and sophistry, and finally decided to confess, "Now we are a couple."

When Dad heard the word "couple", he stood up suddenly and shouted: "Fart! What kind of couple are two men in love? Ah? Do you think that if a relationship is good, it must be love? Do you know what love is? Men How can you be with a man?"

Now that I have said it all, I have nothing to worry about, "I still distinguish between family affection and love. I know that I just like Xia Zhi and want to be with him for the rest of my life. He also likes me. We live happily together."

"You...you are simply..." Dad was full of anger, "You are treasonous!"

"Didn't Auntie Sun come to do ideological work with you yesterday?" I said, "Auntie Sun can figure it out, why can't you? In fact, I'm with Xia Zhi. Except that I can't get a certificate, everything else is different from a normal couple. The difference. We will take care of you together when you are old, so why not be filial if you have an extra son?"

"Why do I want so many sons? I want grandsons!" Dad roared, "I don't care what Sun Mei thinks, all I know is that I can't accept your nondescript relationship!"

"If you want me to marry like a normal person, just to have a child, I can find a surrogate, do a test tube, and give you a grandson!" Maybe Liang Jingru gave me the courage, and I yelled loudly .

"You...you...why are you so confused!" Dad sat down heavily, "What's the matter with men and men? You will be pointed at and gossip all your life. Is this what you want?" Are you happy?"

"I don't care what others say, I walk the road myself, and of course I have to choose according to my own wishes." I softened my tone, "I can't guarantee whether I will be happy with Xia Zhi for the rest of my life, after all, there are too many people on the road of life. There are many forks in the road, but at least now, I know very well that if I can't be with Xia Zhi, I will be very painful and have no happiness at all."

Dad lowered his head and said nothing.

"Dad, you have been divorced from my mother for so many years, and the people around you have changed one after another, but in the end, you still haven't met anyone who can truly accompany you to grow old." I continued, "Is this what you call a normal person?" Is marriage really that important? Can you find someone who truly loves you and you love yourself, shouldn't you be happier than a broken marriage?"

"My marriage failed, yes," Dad sighed, "but how do you know that your marriage will fail?"

"Of course I know," I said, "I don't like women, I only like the summer solstice. How can I be happy?"

"How can you be sure if you don't try? You are not born with this problem?" Dad said.

"I was born with it," I said, "and it's not a fault, it's just a personal choice, just like some people like apples and some like pears, it's just different."

"You... hey..." Dad sighed again, "I thought about it all night last night, but I still can't figure it out. You and Xia Zhi are both good children. You never let adults worry about you. You study and work hard. Now you are working very well. , why... did they get stuck together?"

"Dad, in fact, you also know that you can't change anything, it's just that you can't accept it for a while." I said, "Don't worry, I will live a good life with Xia Zhi, and I will be filial to you, my mother, and Aunt Sun in the future. You see our true happiness."

When I came out of my father's house, my legs felt weak for a while, and I could only walk down the stairs slowly, holding on to the guardrail with both hands.

Finally said it.

Although the process was difficult, the result was not too bad. At least after my father heard my words, his expression began to change and his tone began to ease.He should be able to accept me being with Xia Zhi, it's just a matter of time.

Aunt Sun's side is relatively more relaxed. Judging from her previous attitude towards me, she can accept it with pleasure.The rest is the mother's level. Intuitively speaking, it should not be a difficulty.

As soon as he got in the car, Xia Zhi called.

"Yangyang!" Xia Zhi's voice sounded a little excited, "Are you at work now? I have something very important to tell you!"

"I also have something very important to tell you!" I said, "You wait for me at home, I will go back soon."

I can't wait to drive out of the road at a high speed, and step on the accelerator to go home.

Just as he took out the key, Xia Zhi had already opened the door.We looked at each other for a while and laughed in unison.

"I have a showdown with my mother (dad)." We spoke at the same time.

Next, we each used the most concise language to quickly describe the process of coming out of the closet.Sure enough, as I expected, Aunt Sun asked Xia Zhi to ask questions last night. Seeing that she didn't seem to object, Xia Zhi boldly showed her cards.

"Did they know because my dad saw us holding hands?" I asked.

Xia Zhi smiled embarrassedly, "No, my mother said that she has already seen that there is something wrong between us, and she actually knows that I sneak to you every night."

"Damn it!" I actually acted nonchalantly in front of her for so long, it's embarrassing to think about it.

Xia Zhi hugged me, "It's okay, just be an ugly daughter-in-law and see my mother-in-law early."

"Go away." I hugged him back and laughed.

"My mother really understands her life," Xia Zhi said with emotion, "I really didn't expect her to accept it so easily."

"Yes," I said, "Aunt Sun loves you very much and respects you, so she can tolerate all your choices."

"What about your dad?" he asked.

"I think he will accept it sooner or later," I said, "Auntie Sun's words will more or less work for him."

"Then it's your mother's side next?" Xia Zhi looked at me.

"Well," I imagined my mother's expression when she found out, and couldn't help being happy, "But don't worry, my mother might accept it with a smile."

After two days of calm, I haven't figured out how to show off with my mother. Aunt Sun has been discharged from the hospital and went home.Xia Zhi called me over for dinner, and I was a little tangled up, but I was actually hit by this guy. I really have the feeling that the ugly daughter-in-law is finally going to see her mother-in-law.

Aunt Sun didn't mention anything, she just smiled at me gently and warmly greeted me to eat.

I gradually felt more at ease, and regained my former ease, talking and laughing with Aunt Sun and Xia Zhi.

It was a joyous meal.

Unexpectedly, this joy continued to another meal a few days later.

It was an appointment made by my father, and my mother, Uncle Guo, Aunt Sun, and of course me and Xia Zhi were also involved.

"Mom, I..." Just as I was about to speak, I took the initiative to confess, hoping to be treated leniently, when my mother anxiously inserted the words.

"Okay, okay, I know what happened to you." Mom waved her hand, "I'll just ask you, is it true between you? What if I have to separate you? What are you going to do?"

Xia Zhi and I looked at each other, clasped our fingers together and put them on the table, "Mom, we absolutely love each other from the bottom of our hearts. If you don't agree, then we have no choice but to kneel down for you until you agree."

"Then kneel down." My mother said quietly.

Without saying a word, Xia Zhi directly pulled me up, walked up to my mother, and knelt down with a plop.I followed suit and knelt down.

"Ouch," my mother hurriedly helped us up, "Xia Zhi, you kid, you really took it seriously, you scared me. Kneeling me in front of your mother, I can't stand it."

"You are also my mother, so of course you can afford it." Xia Zhi said.

"Your mouth, it's really..." Mom sighed, "Hey, we old people can't keep up with your young people's thinking."

"Who is an old man? I am clearly in my prime." Uncle Guo glared at his mother, then looked at us with a smile, "I can follow the thinking of you young people, I think you are a good match together, childhood sweethearts, a match made in heaven... ..."

"Old Guo!" Mom yelled, "You must come out at this time to find a sense of presence, right? I'm talking to my son about business, don't interrupt!"

Uncle Guo stuck out his tongue, his face full of helplessness.

"Cough, cough..." Dad, who had been silent all this time, pretended to cough to show his existence.

Aunt Sun couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

Xia Zhi and I couldn't hold back either, we all laughed.

"You...you..." My mother laughed as she talked, and then she stopped laughing for a while and regained her serious expression, "Let's get back to business, Yangyang, Xia Zhi, my mother is not as rigid as someone, some I can take care of things, such as marriage. It doesn’t matter if you have a small book or not. The key is that the two of you are in harmony and can be comfortable together. However, in this life, it is impossible to live without children. Children It is the continuation of life and your spiritual support when you get old in the future. How do you plan to solve the problem of children?"

Xia Zhi was silent for a while, and said: "If we really want a child, we can find a surrogate mother and have a test-tube baby. But now domestic surrogacy is illegal, and we can only go abroad to give birth..."

"We are still young, don't worry about the children, let's talk about it later." I was depressed, it turned out that not only families of men and women were born, but even couples could not escape this fate.Are children really that important to a family?

"That's right," Aunt Sun said, "The two of them have just started their careers, so it won't be too late to discuss the matter of the child after a few years."

"That's right, seeing that I don't have children, don't I still have a good time?" Uncle Guo said.

"Who won't let you have a baby?" Dad looked at him, "You and Wenxiu haven't obtained a certificate for so many years and haven't had children. The world between the two of you is living happily."

"Old Zhang, what we're talking about now is about the children, don't bring us up." The mother stopped the conversation between the two in time.

"Father, mother, and uncle," Xia Zhi said, "we will consider the children's affairs in the future. Thank you very much for your tolerance and understanding of me and Yangyang. From now on, we will treat the four elders as our own parents and be filial."

I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, looking at the few people closest to me in front of me, I felt at ease like never before.I hooked Xia Zhi's finger, he turned to look at me, we looked at each other and smiled.

It's finally out!
