this man is not calm

Chapter 137

Together with Mei Yingnian, he competed with various mall tycoons. Over the years, Yan Shufan has seen too many young talents with talent and ability. An example of obliterating the edges and corners and obliterating everyone.

Although the pop music circle is another circle, the truth is actually the same.

Talented young people are barely considered rare, but the base is large. Except for a few amazing talents who are hard to replace, the importance of most of them is not as high as imagined.

This is the same as the all-powerful academic bully in the country's primary and middle schools, zoomed in on the whole city, the whole province or even the whole country, it's actually the same thing.

Mei Fengchun is beautiful, and maybe a bit talented, but without opportunities and support, it is not easy to get ahead in a brand new field.

Jin Shang was patiently chatting with others, while Yan Shufan was also observing the nephew in front of him.

From the outside, he is just a shy young man. It is hard to believe that he is actually doing business worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

At Mei Yingnian's age, she should still be on a small fishing boat, trawling nets, washing anchor chains, and scrubbing decks with a group of stinky sailors!

Looking at it this way, Jin Shang's starting point is indeed very high.

If it weren't for today's occasion, it would be really inappropriate to talk about business. Yan Shufan wanted to have a good chat with Jin Shang about what the young people are thinking, where are the business opportunities in the future, and so on.

About half an hour later, while chatting with each other, there was a knock on the door outside. Before the person arrived, Mei Fengchun's carefree voice came over, either complaining about the hot weather or complaining about the house. The air conditioner is too small, and the noise of the air conditioner is too loud, which affects rest.

If it wasn't for the fact that the family members would be unable to leave for a while and needed Mei Fengchun to visit as a representative, Jin Shang, a little cousin, really didn't want to join in the fun at this time.

When the aunt and nephew passed through the hallway and walked into the living room, they saw Yan Shufan who was pressing the younger son to tell him not to mess around, and Jin Shang and Li Xuan who stood up and looked over.

I had expected it, but I never thought that it would be in this situation. Mei Xinghong, who was facing each other in this situation, froze for a moment, and immediately let go of Mei Fengchun who was holding her arm, walked over with a calm smile, and shook hands with Jin Shang. Let's do it.

"long time no see!"

"Uh?"

Is this a greeting from the long-lost reunion?
Even with Zao Hui as a time traveler, and the help of "Gold Finger" to dig out the memories deep in his mind, Jin Shang still couldn't figure out what his biological mother looked like.

"Jiu Shu greets... Mother!"

"I still like to call my mother more affectionately, or my mother. The name of mother is too formal and too unfamiliar."

"You're not old either!"

In Jin Shang's eyes, Mei Xinghong does look very young, walking with Mei Fengchun, they are not like aunts and nephews, but more like sisters.

"You...you don't have to force yourself if you don't have good words to compliment."

Jin Shang's quick-wittedness is actually not very outstanding, at most it can be regarded as quite satisfactory, when encountering relatively unfamiliar people and things, it is inevitable to be flustered.

Fortunately, he is studious, good at summing up experience and lessons, and will not always fall down in the same place many times.

"I made you laugh."

The mother and son said some greetings to each other, and Mei Xinghong immediately turned her attention to Li Xuan.

Contrary to Jin Shang's expectation, it seemed that Li Xuan was better at dealing with Mei Xinghong, and she behaved generously and decently.

The conversations between you and me are generally calm, but the tightly clenched hands are getting stronger and stronger, which also proves that Li Xuan, who came to the house for the first time and met her boyfriend's mother, is still very restless.

Before that, Jin Shang believed that the reunion between mother and son would be more impactful.

Whether it is very excited, indifferent or calm, or cramped and embarrassing, I have imagined it.

It was only at this moment that I realized that I was thinking too much.

dull!

This is the real feeling!

It's like friends who haven't seen each other for many years. When they meet unexpectedly, they want to regain the old friendship, but find that those have long been lost with the passage of time.

"Some things, in fact, have been put down a long time ago, but...a faint reluctance still hits my heart from time to time, but that is not the reason to dwell on the past. 』

With a smile on his face, Jin Shang chatted casually with relatives who seemed to be very warm, and seemed to be having a good time, but this was just superficial politeness, and he wanted to form a new friendship and bond, which was just the beginning , the road ahead is still long.

A little later, when Jin Shi's dinner was about to be ready, Mei Yingnian arrived with Mei Wenhui.

After seven or eight people had a family dinner, Jin Shang took the initiative to clean up the dishes, and Li Xuan wanted to come over to help, but Mei Fengchun and Xiao Erhui dragged her into talking, and then got involved in a new round of after-dinner conversation between adults.

After a while, Jin Shang, who was washing the pots, suddenly felt someone approaching. Looking up, it was the sneaky Mei Fengchun who slipped into the kitchen.

"What, is something wrong?"

"The atmosphere is a bit awkward, I sneaked away. Your girlfriend is really amazing, and she can handle it with ease."

"She is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. She will not lose to you in terms of 'not admitting defeat'. She is not interested in many things, but once she develops a competitive spirit, it is difficult to pull it back easily. .”

"So, who is she competing with now? I think my aunt is strong enough, and your girlfriend is actually not weak!"

"You are fighting for me! After being away from home for so many years, I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a wife and mother, especially because I feel that she owes me. As a girlfriend, I have to stand up and let it go..."

Jin Shang shrugged and smiled with a complicated expression on his face,

"She, I always feel that as a son, I have some things that are hard to say. Actually, I think too much..."

"Then you brought her here?"

"I just happened to meet up and get to know each other. I didn't expect..."

Jin Shang himself doesn't really understand the complex relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"Then you...won't you persuade me?"

"advise?"

Jin Shang, who couldn't help but smile, shook off the oil and water stained on his hands, lightly shook his head and said,

"This is not the time to be reasonable at all. Who and how should I persuade?"

"You have a big heart!"

"Xiaomei, you are still young and don't understand. You will know when you get a boyfriend."

"Who is Xiaomei? It's not big or small."

"This is teaching you experience as a senior."

Jin Shang smiled and explained in a pretentious way,

"For example, you and my mother came together and were said to be like young sisters. What do you think will happen?"

"Aunt...she should be happier!"

Mei Fengchun answered uncertainly.

After all, it is a person in his 40s, and it is a beautiful thing to be praised for being young in a different way.

"how about you?"

Tilting his head and thinking for a long time, Mei Fengchun said with some confusion,
"It stands to reason that it should be very good! But... I always feel a little awkward!"

"Right? You are only 20 years old, why are you sisters with someone over 40? Isn't this calling you the youngest..."

"As soon as you say that, I understand where this feeling of restlessness comes from. That's right, I'm a young woman in the prime of her life..."

"Understood! Whether it is praise or slander, it is essentially a process of comparison. Every adjective is relative, not absolute. Similar to it, such as 'you are uglier than her' and 'you Not as ugly as her', to the person being described, the feeling is actually similar, and the word 'ugly' is replaced by 'good-looking', the context and semantics are not much different."

Jin Shangyou concluded,
"When it comes to unquantifiable comments, especially when it comes to the relationship between a man and a woman, and the difference between closeness and distance, you must be cautious. It's like a mother and a girlfriend falling into the river. Who do you save first? From the perspective of law and morality Speaking up, you must save your mother first. But, will your girlfriend care about your explanations?"

This is not at all a matter of presenting facts and reasoning. Maybe the above example is too extreme, but in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, many times, men will bear the embarrassing pressure of being blocked at both ends.

"I put in my girlfriend's state of mind, and sure enough, I can't understand."

Turning her head and taking a sneak peek at the seemingly peaceful chatting scene outside, Mei Fengchun stuck out her playful little tongue and whispered,

"Your family seems to be very troublesome. If my dad didn't ask me to show up, I really don't want to get involved."

"You think your parents really can't come?"

Jin Shang pouted,

"In the future, they will find an excuse to let you do it for them."

"why?"

Mei Fengchun asked puzzledly, Jin Shang spread his hands.

"When you're in love, it's enough if you want to. Others don't care about it. Marriage is different. It's a union of two families. After I moved out, my father was alone. I don't know if my two aunts can come. The old grandmother What's more, Shenlong sees the head but doesn't see the end, the four of you Mei family brothers and sisters, the whole family rushed here, what do you want to do, bully the few with more?"

"You little brain, what are you thinking? Why are you so preoccupied..."

"What do you think? In the past, the eldest girl who was married by Ming Media was married, and a few brothers-in-law and brother-in-law would form a group to visit, not only to see how the sisters are doing well, but also to demonstrate to the man. There are people in her natal family, and the dowry is cleared. Don't try to bully others, especially to show your sisters-in-law, the new wife is not easy to bully, understand?"

"Is that so?"

Jin Shang breathed a sigh of relief after the dishes and chopsticks were almost cleared away and the stove was wiped clean.

"Behind every seemingly cumbersome and unreasonable custom, there is actually an unspeakable stake. Just like the current Li Xuan and my mother, there is actually a fundamental contradiction. That is me, who is it for, understand? ?In ancient times, the male master, the eldest son, was the pillar of the family. Whoever he turned to had the most say in the family. Our old Jin's family is a single lineage, so I won't mention it. It's in the old Huang's house A wealthy family with a big family and a big business, every year and festival, when worshiping the ancestors, whoever has a higher position in the ancestral hall will be in the face of each other. Brothers and sisters-in-law are not all close..."

"Then the second uncle's family will come with me, is it almost enough?"

"It's so close. It's a coincidence. We will get together again when we have a chance. Now, we won't come and chatter together. You will definitely come here often during this time."

"Okay! Hearing what you said, I feel that I have grown up a lot these years, and I don't know as much about the world as you do."

"I'm only able to understand where the truth can be argued. Maybe the unexplained feelings are actually at a loss. For example, Li Xuan, chatting with your aunt and uncle's family alone, I guess it's a breath of strength." Yes. She...has a heart, but she doesn't know how to play tricks, if it's not because of my...special family, she wouldn't come at all."

Jin Shang also understands the boyfriend's dilemma, the sudden change, the difficult mood to deal with, and the desire to help.

"Then... what should I do? She seems to be out of words..."

"Don't worry, it's okay! Today is just the first time we meet, and it's the limit to get acquainted with each other. It's not too special to talk about it. I'll help her later..."

Jin Shang still knows a lot about his girlfriend this year.

He is often sloppy in small things, but he is very good at big things.

It is a bit of an exaggeration to say that you are wise and foolish, but how to grasp the propriety and properly clear up your own relationship network can still do a good job.

The eldest lady who was born as a landlord and gentry always carries a simple local wisdom in her life.

Why does Jin Shang, who has a very picky vision, get along with Li Xuan?

To put it bluntly, it is still the innocence of her that can see through the clouds of the world and look directly at the loneliness behind the flowers, but still maintains a simplicity and romance, and loves the people and things in this world, which is so heart-warming.

This point is a bit similar to Jin Shang's. Two lifetimes of human beings and completely different experiences have caused a slight separation and conflict of mind and nature. How to maintain perfect unity and coordination is actually not an easy task.

Just like the relationship between family members, Jin Shang and Jin Shi get along, they are both father and son, and they are also brothers. When there are only two of them, it is much more casual.

As for Mei Xinghong, the mother who had been separated since she was a child and then reunited suddenly, she felt very awkward.

Theoretically speaking, it should be that nurturing is greater than benevolence. Since there is no nurturing, it is inappropriate to pretend to be a parent with a shy face, and the moral values ​​of the general public do not support this kind of behavior.

However, concrete examples tell Jin Shang that this is nothing to worry about.

In his previous life, Jin Shang saw it with his own eyes. One of his neighbors took over Bai Yueguang, who was carrying an oil bottle, for the reason of true love, and worked hard to raise the child. The father left behind the story of the stepfather who died alone and died miserably.

Blood relationship is a very magical thing. Irrelevant people can be a reasonable person to their heart's content, commenting wantonly, and when it really falls on themselves, they will find that at this time, no reason will work, and it will determine the direction of things Yes, it can only be a person's innate conscience.
