297 Fall 2022 (7)

Before returning to BJ from Cangzhou, Chen Mo drove Zhou Rong to the county town to buy some food. Not far from the village, Chen Mo pointed to a farmland not far away and said, "My dad is buried there."

Zhou Rong looked around: "Come back later, let's go see him."

Chen Mo felt inexplicably touched and grateful: "Okay."

After buying some things in the county, Chen Mo went to the funeral store to buy some paper money. The two of them drove home. It only took ten minutes to drive from the county to the village. Before entering the village, Chen Mo turned a corner When he arrived at his father's cemetery, he parked the car on the side of the road and said to Zhou Rong, "Don't go down, wait for me in the car, and I'll come back after burning the paper money."

Zhou Rong said: "Okay." She guessed that Chen Mo might have something to say to her father alone, and it might not be convenient for her to be there, since he wouldn't let her go to burn paper for Chen's father together, then she wouldn't go either.

Chen Mo walked towards the distance along the ridge of the field, and when he came to his father's grave, he lit a cigarette for his father first, and burned paper money for his father while talking to him.

After he told his father what was in his heart, and after he burned all the paper money, he looked up at the white car and the people in it that he parked on the side of the road not far away. Rong waited anxiously.Just as he was staring at his car, a silver electric tricycle broke into his sight.Not far from Chen Mo's white car, an old man was driving an electric tricycle, slowly driving from the west side of the road towards the east side.

The electric tricycle was exactly the same as the one that Chen's father drove before his death.

Since he was tens of meters away from the road, Chen Mo couldn't see the old man's appearance clearly, but the old man looked at Chen Mo from beginning to end. Father is exactly the same.

Chen Mo was shocked. If his father was still alive, he would definitely think that it was his father without any doubt.

The tricycle slowly drove past Chen Mo's white car. The old man glanced into the car. After rubbing shoulders with Chen Mo's parked car, he continued to look at Chen Mo and continued along the east side of the road until he disappeared into the road. the end.

Chen Mo burst into tears again, because his father came back, and his father missed him too, and his father came back to see him.

On the night before returning to BJ, Zhou Rong was playing with Chen Mo's niece Zhao Ruixi. Chen's mother winked at Chen Mo and secretly called Chen Mo to another room. Chen's mother said: "I am very satisfied with Zhou Rong, I want to give her Wrap a big red envelope."

"No need." Chen Mo quickly refused: "You give it to others, and they don't want it."

"Whether she wants it or not is her business, but I have to give it. This child is too sensible, knowledgeable, diligent and capable. I like her character. She speaks and does things without rushing or rushing. Blessed is such a person man."

"Human, what do you lack? What do you like? You usually talk and do things quickly, so you want to find a daughter-in-law whose personality complements yours."

"Yes, yes." Mother Chen smiled: "I still have a few thousand dollars in cash, give it to Zhou Rong."

Chen Mo looked at Chen's mother: "You can keep your money and spend it yourself. I'll go back to BJ and use my money to give her. I'm not richer than you. Don't worry, I will arrange it."

Seeing her son pushing back and forth, Chen's mother stopped talking.

On the penultimate day after the National Day holiday, Chen Mo drove Zhou Rong back to BJ from Cangzhou.In the evening, the two stayed in Zhou Rong's rented apartment in Naidong Village, Laiguangying. Chen Mo began to show off his skills, stewed meat, croquettes, and stewed vegetables. The two of them had a delicious meal.But Chen Mo didn't say anything to Zhou Rong about Chen's mother wanting to give a red envelope.This also made Zhou Rong a little unhappy, but she never said anything to Chen Mo.

On the last day of the National Day, Chen Mo drove back from Zhou Rong's residence to his own residence, and sent a message to the group at home: "I just came back from Zhou Rong's place, now I'm home."

After hearing the news, Mother Chen quickly called: "Chen Mo, are you at home by yourself now? Is it convenient to talk?"

"It's convenient, I just entered the house." Chen Mo started to tidy up his room while holding the phone.

"Let's get married, let's get married on May 32st, we all like Zhou Rong very much, Chen Jing said, this is the one she likes the most among so many girlfriends you brought back, and she said that Zhou Rong is suitable for marriage and life People, Mo, we are [-] years old during Chinese New Year, the eldest is not young, it is time to get married."

"Mom, I'm only 31 years old." Chen Mo said.

"Is there any difference? You are 31, and Zhou Rong is also 31. How old are you? Shouldn't you be married? I can see that Zhou Rong really likes you and treats you sincerely. Those miscellaneous things you used to do My girlfriend, who treats you better than Zhou Rong? Are you still not satisfied with Zhou Rong? Get married, if you say that you will get married on May [-] next year, I will prepare immediately."

"what to prepare?"

"Prepare the bride price, arrange the marriage in advance, and the five brick houses in our family need to be redecorated, and we need to buy some decent furniture. We will arrange the wedding room for you, and the elderly on both sides must also arrange to meet each other. Let’s go, I’ll go to their place in Sichuan, or let his parents come to us, it’s fine, these have to be planned in advance.”

"Mom, you think too much." Chen Mo became a little impatient, he never imagined that Chen's mother was so caring and optimistic about Zhou Rong's matter this time.He had also brought a few girlfriends home before, such as Wu Xiaotian, but Chen's mother didn't like it from the bottom of her heart.She felt that she and she were not in the same world. If such a daughter-in-law married into the family, then the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would be difficult. In the words of her mother, Wu Xiaotian was a delicate lady, and she couldn't serve her as a rural woman.

And Wang Shuang, although Wang Shuang has a straightforward personality, is also pretty, tall and tall, but Chen's mother didn't think too much about their marriage.Because Wang Shuang is like a vase, beautiful but impractical.Moreover, Chen's mother heard her son say how Wang Shuang loves to spend money, how much she pays attention to eating, drinking and having fun, and her heart is even more resistant to this kind of person. In Chen's mother's words, we don't want this kind of daughter-in-law, prodigal girl, she can't live. .

Only Zhou Rong, no matter in appearance, personality, speech, behavior, all aspects, seemed to be designed in advance according to Chen's mother's rules and regulations, which won Chen's mother's liking.Yes, Zhou Rong has big eyes, double eyelids, loves to smile, easy-going, kind, well-behaved, sensible, who doesn't like such a girl?

Chen's mother said earnestly on the phone: "Get married when you meet the right one. Think about how old you are and how old I am? I am 53 years old this year, and I am already old. Now you are married and have a child. , I can help you take care of your children."

"Then you don't herd sheep anymore? Don't you still have so many sheep at home?" Chen Mo deliberately made excuses.

"You child, how many times have I told you, what are sheep? As soon as you get married, I will sell the sheep immediately, and the money from selling the sheep will be used to prepare for your future childbirth. Just these dozens of sheep What is it? Is it important for sheep, or is it important for you to get married and have children? I have nothing to do now, so I herd sheep. Do you think I am willing to herd sheep? Are you stupid if you don’t have grandchildren? As long as you get married, I will sell sheep first. , the second step is to help you take care of the children."

"Mom, I really don't want to get married so early." Chen Mo couldn't argue with everything. In his opinion, what he wants to pursue now is not marriage, but the dreams in his heart when he first came to BJ. Now, he has worked hard in BJ for seven years. It has been eight years, although he has been satisfied materially, but what about his original intention?He felt that he was still accomplishing nothing.If he gets married hastily according to his mother's idea now, then marriage will be a kind of bondage and shackles for him, because he will have to devote his time and energy to marriage, family, and even raising children in the future.Then he will lose his mind, let alone calm down to do what he wants to do and like.

If he can't realize his dream in this life, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

But he couldn't tell others about these thoughts in his heart, especially he couldn't tell his mother or Zhou Rong.If you tell your mother and Zhou Rong, first of all they won't understand and think that Chen Mo is crazy, that Chen Mo is unrealistic and daydreaming, which will cause a lot of verbal disputes.Secondly, they will not support it, and they will strongly oppose it. This is another battle of words.Because if according to Chen Mo's thinking, he might not be able to get married within three to five years, even ten or eight years, or in his entire life.According to Chen Mo's logic, if he doesn't realize his dream, he won't get married, so his marriage is in the foreseeable future.

So Chen Mo never mentioned this matter to anyone. The closer the person is to him, the more he cares about the person, the less he wants to tell it. This is his own secret, only he knows it, and he doesn't need Let anyone know.

Because he doesn't want to quarrel with people who are close and caring, because he doesn't want to let others down.But he didn't want to embarrass himself and leave behind a lifetime of regrets, so the most painful and distressing thing in his heart was not only those who urged him to get married, wanted him and those who wanted to marry him, but Chen Mo himself.With no one to tell and understand, he can only bear all the dilemmas by himself.

Seeing that her son seemed indifferent when she broke her throat, Chen's mother stopped saying anything, and finally left a sentence: "I have said what I want to say, what I want to say, what I should say. What do you think, you can see for yourself. Let's do it."

What can he think?what can he doHe can only make the matter of marriage ambiguous with cynical, joking and words.
