a protracted war

September 6, overcast.

Although I have thought about it before, I still didn't expect this day to come so soon.

Yi Yi was very aggressive in handling things. He called me while I was having breakfast and said, "It just so happens that you are fine today, and my dad is also idle. It is better to hit the sun if you choose another day. Why don't you just call your uncle and aunt tonight and talk to my dad?" Is it okay to have a meal with Yi Jun's mother?"

The half fried dough stick I was biting into my mouth fell to the table with a bang. .

It's like the unreal feeling that I just said yesterday that I want to meet Yi Yi's father, but I can see him soon today.

I thought about it again, oh, it's not like, it was indeed yesterday, I said I wanted to meet his father.

But after all, this is meeting the parents, the first time meeting the parents in life, I, a 28-year-old old man, will also feel nervous.

Seeing that I was stunned, my dad asked me: "What's wrong?"

My mother also looked at me with concern.

I shook my head and went to sit on the sofa and talk on the phone.

I thought for a minute, and then told Yi Yi: "Okay, let me know where to eat after you book."

Yi Yi said: "Just the place where we ate together for the first time, XXX Grand Hotel."

I asked Yi Yi: "What do your father and Yi Jun's mother like? When we meet for the first time, I have to prepare some greetings."

Yi Yi said: "For Yi Jun's mother, jewelry and skin care products. As for my dad, I really don't know what my dad likes."

I said, "Think again."

Yi Yi: "Anyway, you can buy whatever you want, the main thing is when people come."

When I ended the call, I slumped on the sofa and let my mind go blank for a few seconds.

It just so happened that a wave of cicadas began to attack outside, and the outside of my house was covered with greenery, in the area that was first occupied.

I went back to the dining table and continued to eat breakfast, and told my parents by the way: "Yi Yi asked me to invite you two to have dinner with his parents at night."

My mother quickly put down her chopsticks and said, "Okay, anyway, your relationship has stabilized now, and our two families should meet, or we can discuss marriage matters by the way."

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mom, don't you think a little bit far, and what kind of marriage do we two grown men get?"

My mother said: "It's not about getting a certificate, at least we have to hold a banquet, and we have to tell a few close relatives and friends that Yi Yi is a family with us."

I said, "Okay, okay, but I'll talk about these things later, it's too early to talk about it now."

My mother said: "It's getting late."

To my surprise, my dad also echoed: "Not early."

Alas, it is not a good thing to suddenly feel that the parents at home are too enlightened.

After breakfast, my mother and I went shopping to prepare for the meeting in the evening. I have to say that although my mother lacks aesthetics, she has a unique eye when choosing jewelry. She saw a platinum necklace inlaid with tanzanite. Tell me: "You said Yi Yi's mother is a strong woman, right? Then I think this necklace is quite suitable for her."

I took a look at the necklace, felt the same, and suddenly remembered something, so I said to my mother: "Mom, I forgot to tell you that Yi Yi's mother has passed away, and Aunt Gao is his stepmother. It's Yi Jun's own mother."

My mom said, "Oh, I see."

Then I bought a watch for Yi Yi's father. Of course, it was my mother's staff, and I swiped the card.

Two hours before departure, my mother started to curl her hair and shave her legs, her head was covered with curlers and her calves were covered with beeswax.

When my father helped my mother remove the cloth patch on her leg, my mother let out an earth-shattering scream, and my father stopped moving immediately.

My mother said weakly: "Continue...continue."

My dad sighed: "It's not a young girl, why do you bother."

My mother glared at him: "What do you know? It's the first time you meet your in-laws. You can't leave a good impression. You too. Clean it up for me."

I also advised my mother: "Mom, you can dress up as usual and you will look beautiful. There is no need to have curly hair and hair loss."

My mother still said: "What do you know about you?"

It may be that I went out earlier than usual today, but I didn't bump into Xiaojie.

My mother was wearing a beautiful knee-length floral skirt, carrying a small bag, and her fluffy curly hair rested on her head in a spirited manner.

My dad was also dressed formally, a white shirt, suit pants, a black leather belt for his beer belly, and well-polished shoes.

On the contrary, I am the one who looks the least formal, casual T-shirt, slacks, and canvas shoes.

When I pushed open the box door, I saw Yi Yi first, and he smiled and said to me, "Here we come."

I replied, "Here we are."

I saw Yi Yi's father and Yi Jun's mother next to me, and I greeted them and gave them greeting gifts.

Yi Yi's father is a very handsome uncle. He wears a T-shirt and jeans. When he looks at people, his eyes bend, and he feels that he is not the same person as Yi Yi said.

Yi Yi's father said: "I heard that Yi Yi often mentioned you. I am very happy to meet you today."

I smiled and said it was nice to meet you too.

My hands were sweaty when I sat down.

Yi Yi sat across from me and mouthed to me: Take it easy.

I smiled at him.

My parents have already chatted with Yi Yi's parents.

Yi and I were happy and leisurely on the sidelines.

He rubbed my calf with the toe of his shoe, and when I kicked him with a smile, he retracted his leg, and when I stopped kicking, he rubbed it again.

So I had no choice but to treat him with his own way, and also rubbed him with the toe of my shoe. Yi couldn't bear the itching, so he burst out laughing.

So the parents all looked at us.

Yi Yi and I smiled embarrassedly.

Then I heard the parents say: "The two of them have such a good relationship, let's hurry up and make a date."

Yi Yi and I looked at each other helplessly and smiled.
