Dude, don't you eat candy?

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother went to their restaurant to play cards and mahjong with relatives and friends of Jiang's family, while Bai Ye, as a close friend, was taken by Jiang Xuchao to meet a few close friends. , Cousins.

Because Jiang Xuchao is considered the youngest in this generation's family, and the cousins ​​above him have already married, so he is not worried that there are single sisters who will fall in love with Bai Ye, the age difference is here.

On the day of the third day of junior high school, when the shops on the street were almost open, Jiang Xuchao took Bai Ye to wander the streets, the two chatted aimlessly, and went to those shops that had been open for some years to buy something while eating Go, after all, is a kind of romance.

Suddenly, when they passed by a fried chicken restaurant, the two noticed through the window that Mo Shaoben and her boyfriend were sitting on the seat, and opposite was a beautiful girl with delicate makeup but an angry face.

This also stopped Jiang Xuchao's thought of going up to say hello.

As a result, just as they were about to leave, the girl picked up the cup and was about to pour the drink in the cup at Mo Shaoben, but was stopped by her boyfriend with a big arm. The cup just fell on the glass and broke. one place.

"Get out! Don't force me to hit someone!" Mo Shaoben's boyfriend had a ferocious expression on his face, his fists were already clenched, and he was about to swing at the girl.

Fortunately, I held back in the end.

The girl's previous anger was completely replaced by fear, but she still yelled sternly: "You still dare to hit someone? I'll call the police now!"

Mo Shaoben's boyfriend sneered: "Did I hit you? You were the one who planned to splash people with hot drinks, and you were the one who scolded them first. What's more, you were the one who picked quarrels and provoked trouble. You try to force me again? I'll call the police first and send you off." A society dies."

After all, the girl packed up her things cursingly and left.

After Bai Ye and Jiang Xuchao watched the whole process, they were stunned. After all, Mo Shaoben has always been friendly and friendly in dealing with people. He has been with his boyfriend for seven years and is obviously a devoted one. No matter what, he will not fall into the Shura field.

"Why don't you go and see..."

Out of concern, Jiang Xuchao dragged Bai Ye into the store. At this moment, he saw the clerk handing over tissues in a panic, and the customers around looked at them and pointed.

"Are you all right? Brother Daben, what happened?"

After Mo Shaoben made sure that his boyfriend was not injured, he regained his composure and said, "It's okay. Although the coffee is hot, it's good to wear thick clothes in winter... Let's go out first."

Several people left the fried chicken restaurant.

Walking on the road, Mo Shaoben gradually sorted out his thoughts and explained the cause and effect.

Although Mo Shaoben rarely goes home all year round, since graduating from university, Mo's mother and some relatives will also push the girl's contact information to him. Every time he returns home, he is forced to go on a blind date.

But this time, it was Mo's mother who changed her tricks to cause trouble for her son's blind date.

Mo Shaoben thought that it would be rare to go home, so he waited until the end of the year to come out. No matter what went well or not, they could take the plane and leave. A notice of , not a "request".

For this reason, he solemnly stated that he did not need a blind date, and Mo's mother thoughtfully agreed.

Just this morning, after Mo's mother went to visit relatives, she said that she needed to give a necklace to an acquaintance, so she asked Mo Shaoben to help deliver it.

For such a small favor, Mo Shaoben naturally didn't suspect him, so he walked into the fried chicken restaurant with the necklace, and met the girl, who warmly expressed that he would treat them to eat, and thanked Mo Shaoben for the necklace.

Mo Shaoben suddenly remembered that Mo's mother showed him a photo a few days ago and asked what the girl in the photo looked like, and he replied that it was okay without looking carefully, and then ignored it... But unexpectedly, It turns out that the pit is waiting here.

Facing the girl's invitation, Mo Shaoben naturally wanted to push it like before.

But I didn't expect the girl to have a somewhat stubborn personality. She said that Aunt Mo liked her very much, that the two families were well-matched, and that her own conditions were not bad. She also said that she would not give up and would definitely visit Mo's house often in the future.

Speaking of this, Mo Shaoben saw that the girl was serious, thinking that he was about to come out of the closet, and he couldn't drag her down, so he said this in advance.

Thus, the girl felt that she had been betrayed, and after yelling at the two of them, she rushed towards Mo Shao with the hot drink that had just been served.

It's fine if it's just being scolded, but Mo Shaoben's boyfriend was furious when he was poured a hot drink, and the scene just now happened right after.

"Why is Aunt Mo's desire to control so strong! It's too much."

Jiang Xuchao felt annoyed when he heard it, and even lied to his son to go on a blind date. Isn't this doing something to hurt his son under the sign of "love"?

In fact, not only Jiang Xuchao, but all the friends who played with Mo Shaoben when he was a child, felt that the latter's freedom was too restricted.

I didn't understand it when I was young, I just felt that although Mo Shaoben studied well, he seemed very pitiful, but when everyone grew up, they realized that Mo's mother's behavior was called "desire to control".

"She's always been like this, maybe that's why I'm rebellious?" Mo Shaoben smiled calmly, only looking at the red marks on his boyfriend's hands, his eyes still showed some dissatisfaction.

He said: "That girl will not want to hide it for me. It is estimated that soon, the fact that I am gay and have a boyfriend will be known to everyone. Maybe they will say that I lied to her? Of course , It was my fault for not coming out to my mom in advance, but she would never think of pouring inexplicable dirty water on me. Maybe if I bring my girlfriend out today, she will also accuse my girlfriend of being a "little three". "

Jiang Xuchao was very worried. From the character of the girl who was able to pour hot drinks when they met for the first time, it showed that this matter could not be left alone.

The other party may do some extreme things in order to retaliate.

"Some people will maliciously spread rumors or something, and drive those who don't like it to death. If she does this, won't it affect your lives?"

"Even if she pulls it out, I can't deny that I don't have her contact information. We have never chatted. Today is the fact that we met for the first time. When necessary, I will use legal means to protect my interests." Mo Shaoben Said lightly.

beep beep beep beep beep beep beep

At this moment, Mo Shaoben's cell phone rang like a reminder.

After seeing the note "Mom" displayed on it, Jiang Xuchao only felt his scalp tingling.

But Mo Shaoben calmly ignored it.

"Speaking of which, we plan to go abroad after a while. I started a company, and my business is mainly abroad. I have been running back and forth in the past two years, but now it has stabilized. If you don't want to work in the current company, Xiaochao, you can come to me. Brother Daben will not treat his own people badly. Anyway, as long as Xiaobai has a computer and the Internet, he can work, right?"

Hearing this suggestion, Jiang Xuchao was indeed moved.

For young people, it's good to go out and see more. Anyway, according to the nature of Bai Ye's work, they can be together no matter where they go.

"If there is a chance, I really want to try it, but I am very happy in my current company, so I can only wait until later~"

"That's okay, we'll go back first, and there's still a tough battle to fight." Mo Shaoben patted Bai Ye and Jiang Xuchao's shoulders, "You two should work hard, come to us if you have anything to do, don't be shy, They are all our own people."

"We will."

Although Bai Ye has only met Mo Shaoben twice, he has a good impression of him. The two have exchanged contact information before, and they can make friends in the future.

Seeing Mo Shaoben and his boyfriend leave, Jiang Xuchao no longer wanted to hang out so much, so he went home with Bai Ye.

There is always a certain pressure on family members to come out of the closet, especially for those children who care about family happiness very much, "coming out" may mean being condemned by family disappointment.

As for Bai Ye... Well, neither Du Haixia nor Bai Weijie is considered "family" to him, so he doesn't care how these two nominal parents think about this matter.

That night, Jiang Ma asked Jiang Xuchao to go downstairs to help cut the fruit and bring them back to the room.

The fruits are mango, cantaloupe, watermelon and other fruits that need to be treated. If you want to eat them more conveniently, it is indeed better to cut them into pieces.

These days, it is not uncommon to eat good quality fruits in winter.

Jiang Xuchao started to operate the fruit knife skillfully. Compared with before, after living together with Bai Ye, his knife skills gradually improved.

"Hey, the ability to live is good. Sure enough, boys have to live alone outside, otherwise they won't be able to deal with these things."

Jiang Ma smiled and praised, which made Jiang Xuchao laugh, saying that he could cut all the fruits tonight.

Seeing her son becoming good at cooking, Jiang Ma was also relieved, but suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Do you have much contact with that kid from the Mo family?"

Jiang Xuchao: "Brother Daben? It's not very easy to meet, but there are a lot of online chats, what's wrong?"

Jiang Ma: "Oh, you'd better not associate with him in the future, it won't be good if people find out about it."

Jiang Xuchao's hand stopped.

He frowned and looked back at Jiang Ma with undisguised dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Mom, Brother Daben is not a bad person. We have often played together since we were young. I don't know what kind of person he is like you do? What's the bad influence?"

"It seems that you don't know yet? That child... that child..." Jiang Ma paused for a long time, but she still couldn't say the words "homosexuality". She always felt that this was a very shameful word, " That kid is not like you."

Jiang Xuchao knew what the other party was struggling with, so he snorted and said, "What's the difference? They're not all human, with two eyes, two ears, a nose and a mouth."

Jiang Ma: "That child... hey, that child, I don't want to marry a woman in the future, I want to run to live with a man. You played with him since you were a child. If this spreads, it will have a bad impact..."

When Jiang Xuchao heard the words, he was speechless, angry at the same time, and thought it was a little funny, and his expression was very complicated for a while.

"Mom, don't talk about it. I died early in the morning. My sister played with Brother Daben before, and there were many people who played with him at that time. Did everyone get a bad influence? It's mindless."

Jiang Ma's tone became a little excited: "A boy, instead of looking for a girl, looks for a boy. What does that sound like?"

"I'm wondering if Big Ben broke the law or committed a crime? You told me not to be friends with him. I respect your advice, but I have my own judgment."

Jiang Xuchao didn't want to argue at first, but the attitude of the other party made him realize that he couldn't say it properly, "Mom, I remember that Uncle Li, who was with you and Dad, used to hit someone while drunk driving, but every time he came to our place for dinner , Aren’t you talking and laughing, did you play cards together not long ago?”

Jiang Ma: "That's the business of adults, we adults have connections with adults."

Jiang Xuchao directly refuted back: "Sorry, Mom, I am 24 years old this year. Brother Daben told me that he started a company abroad, and I can see that he is well known for his outfit. Isn't he my connection?"

Jiang Ma was speechless for a moment, trying to refute but couldn't find a point to refute.

After all, Mo Shaoben is indeed an excellent person. Apart from the fact that he "likes men", as a friend, he is impeccable.

But "liking men" is indeed not illegal or criminal, after all, it is against human ethics and morality!

Even in the ancient Bible, doesn't it say that this is "violating morality and going to hell"?

Jiang Ma said: "Son, don't be angry, I'm telling you now, isn't it because I'm afraid that you will take a detour in the future..."

"What is a detour and what is the right way? I have my own life plan, I will not do anything illegal and criminal, and I will love and respect you in the future, so why would I take a detour."

Jiang Xuchao waved his hand, and immediately said seriously: "Mom, some people say that you are young, beautiful and well-maintained, but do you know that some people say that you dress inappropriately and make other men stare at you?"

Of course, Jiang Ma has never been ambiguous, but she has a mouth that grows on people, and she can utter some dirty words as soon as she opens and closes, and the alibi who is being discussed can't stop it.

Jiang Ma's face suddenly turned ugly.

After all, it is really not a funny thing for children to hear the rumors and rumors spread outside.

"My sister heard about it, and she told me about it. It's Aunt Zhang Cuihua from the village next door. It seems that she often says that she has publicized our restaurant business? Is this publicity? Is this your network? "

Jiang Xuchao held the fruit and walked away directly, "Look, even if we develop contacts, we can't develop all kinds of people. At critical times, we still have to ask relatives and friends to help. Those who gossip outside can't be sent. It will come in handy. Mom, think about it, and change your mind, we don’t live on other people’s spittle.”

After Jiang Xuchao left, Mama Jiang immediately called Jiang Fenghe over to ask for proof, and at the same time called Papa Jiang over.

In the past, Jiang Fenghe cared about Jiang Ma's feelings, and just told Jiang Dad not to get close to Zhang Cuihua's family, and just maintained a superficial friendly relationship. people were torn.

Moreover, Jiang's mother also felt very wronged, and started to complain with Jiang's father.

"We have been married for more than 30 years. We used to go out to set up a cold drink stand together. Later, we had two children in succession. I was busy taking care of the children all day long, and only occasionally went out to get together with my sisters. A few years ago, we opened a restaurant, and we even I've been busy with business all the time, and I don't have to rest during the holidays, and there are still people talking about me outside? It's too much!"

After learning the cause and effect, Father Jiang comforted his wife.

"You, Xiaochao is an adult now, not a baby. I told you not to compare your grades before, but now I tell you not to worry too much. You know these principles, and I will repeat them today. We two children are filial , as for us, we just want them to be happy, don't go astray, and don't regret it in the future... Relax and let them go."

Jiang Fenghe also took advantage of the situation and said: "Mom, I will push you a public account to have a look. The articles on it are very incisive, and I think it can solve your current troubles."

As she said that, she pushed over the official account that she had worked on for the past two or three days.

The articles published by this official account are related to "homosexuality", "children's education", and "Christianity", which perfectly fit the current issues.

Jiang Ma is a religious believer, and she does have some conservative elements in her thinking, but she is not to blame for this. After all, the times are advancing, and there must be differences in the thinking of people back then and people today.

There is also a huge difference between the idea of ​​being a parent and a single man and woman.

It is impossible to change the thinking of parents and elders overnight, step by step, and when Jiang Xuchao comes out in the future, the damage to both parties will be minimized.

This is the plan Jiang Fenghe thought of as a sister and a daughter.

Jiang's father said softly: "Honey, you can send a message to Xiaochao later and apologize to Xiaochao. This time, you were impulsive. The child is so sad. That child, Benben, is the one who grew up There are very few friends who are still in touch.”

As a restaurant proprietress, she has to deal with all kinds of customers every day, which shows that Jiang Ma is also a hearty and generous person.

After being secretly sad for a while, Jiang Ma changed her position, thinking that Jiang Xuchao's grandmother also told her not to make friends with so-and-so in the past, and she also had a rebellion at that time, and only then did she have the best friend she has now.

After some introspection, Jiang Ma took out her mobile phone and said while sending a message, "Well, I will send it now."

It has to be said that Jiang Ma sent messages very quickly. When Jiang Xuchao went back upstairs and was hugging Bai Ye to express his unhappiness, Jiang Ma's news turned his mood from cloudy to sunny.

At the same time, Jiang Fenghe also relayed what happened just now to Jiang Xuchao.

"I'll go! Create a public account for mom to post articles. This method can be said to be endless. I didn't expect this! Ginger is still old and hot!"

Bai Ye couldn't help laughing, he held Jiang Xuchao in his arms, and patted Jiang Xuchao on the head.

"If you tell my sister this, she will definitely be unhappy."

"Hehe~ It's my fault, but my sister's method is really clever... Don't mention it, the above article is really touching."

The official account is not as perfect as it can be established in two days, with popular science, news, and stories on it.

For example, there is a tragic story about someone who was sent to a rehabilitative center to experience all kinds of torture because he liked the same sex, and then killed his whole family and committed suicide after returning; Leading to suicide and so on... Just looking at it is unbearable.

Jiang Xuchao felt very lucky that Jiang's mother was not like Mo Shaoben's mother, who had a strong desire to control and was difficult to speak.

The relationship between their family is very harmonious, and the mother and son get along like friends.

There were no irreconcilable contradictions in the first place, but now he felt that the way forward was more open.

……

There are only ten or so days of rest during the Chinese New Year, and in the process of playing, eating and drinking, it passes in the blink of an eye.

The matter of Mo Shaoben and her boyfriend spread throughout the town in just two or three days. Even those who didn't know the Mo family knew that the Mo family had a son who eloped with a man. The matter was talked about by many people after dinner.

But it's just "talks after dinner", and no one really dares to make trouble in front of the Mo family.

However, Mother Mo also knew that many people were talking about her behind her back, so she didn't dare to go out for a while. Even if she went out, she had to wear a mask and sunglasses for fear of being recognized.

She really felt that she had made a mistake in teaching and gave birth to a shameful son.

She cared too much about other people's eyes, and didn't even realize that everyone was going to be talked about behind their backs, without exception.

In fact, earlier, because of education problems, she became a "negative teaching material" that many parents considered, killing children's innocence.

On the day Mo Shaoben came out of the closet, Mo's family was turned upside down, and Mo's mother even disregarded her face as a parent, crying, making trouble, and hanging herself in front of the child, trying to "snap" the child back.

It's a pity that Mo Shaoben didn't like this, and directly booked a midnight ticket with his boyfriend to fly abroad.

Because it was midnight, Jiang Xuchao and Bai Ye were not able to see him off. It was already the next morning when they learned that Mo Shaoben had left the country.

The two returned to Baiye's house in Yuhang on the same day as Zheng Guohui and Gu Zhuxiao.

Years later, Bai Ye received a message from editor Xiao Ding, also known as Ding Zhiqiang.

Editor Xiaoding: Baishen, I am sure that I will resign after the handover is completed in March. At that time, you will be assigned a new responsible editor, but the other party is the editor of Xuanyuan Shutong...

Bai Ye's first reaction was that the name "Xuanyuan Shutong" sounded familiar.

After thinking about it for a while, he finally recalled that it turned out to be the "competitor" he had been beating all the time.

The author has something to say: the friends who commented on the top [-] have a small red envelope~

Off topic:

There was a straight male elder brother who was close to me and came out of the closet in order to avoid a blind date. One night, he suddenly called me and asked me if I wanted to do something embarrassing with him.

I was stunned (covering my face), I listened to the noise of beating and smashing and my elder brother's pressing question, so I answered "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" (I have never heard such an unreasonable request), and I found out afterwards... …The eldest brother’s parents invited a girl to live at home and wanted to make things happen. The eldest brother couldn’t bear it, so he told the family that he liked men and wanted to be (silenced——), another elder brother and I helped Chi Chi from a distance like this busy (cover face)

Then the eldest brother has now found true love and is married, which is gratifying.
