Eating melons

Wu Mei was completely stunned by Chen Fang's call. She originally wanted to cook white rice porridge in the morning, but thinking about the conditions at home, she put more than 90% sweet potatoes into the porridge and only cooked a little bit of rice. She didn't expect to be criticized by her mother like this.

Wu Mei couldn't describe how she felt when she saw her mother like this, but it was extremely bitter.

Seeing how her mother was so fussy about such a small thing, Wu Mei couldn't help but feel a little pity and sour.

In addition to this, there was also bitterness for herself. She hadn't been back for so long, and the first day she came back was to face her mother's responsibilities, and the second day was full of reproaches.

Therefore, Wu Mei felt inexplicably aggrieved and a little bitter in her heart.

Faced with her mother's reproach, Wu Mei chose to remain silent, mainly because she didn't know what to say.

Doesn’t the family lack these things? Does she have them?

Wu Mei couldn't say it. Call her selfish, she already had her own little thoughts and didn't want to give so blindly anymore.

It should be said that the family is not short of these things and there is no need to be so frugal. After all, she brought so much back. Even if she only grabs a handful of rice to cook porridge every day, it can last for several months.

But Chen Fang wouldn't listen. If she could, she wouldn't have said that last night, and she wouldn't have reacted so violently just now.

Because Wu Mei didn't believe her mother couldn't see it, after all, the cupboard door was not closed.

The bag inside was obviously the one she brought back yesterday.

Wu Mei felt extremely aggrieved when she thought that this rice was earned by herself and that she cooked some for the whole family to eat, and yet she was still being scolded for this.

Seeing that Wu Mei stopped talking, Chen Fang thought she had heard it, so she didn't say anything more and didn't think much about it.

After all, in Chen Fang's mind, her eldest daughter has always been more mature and stable, and she doesn't like to joke, so she didn't think too much about it.

She just took over the work in her hands, mainly because she was afraid that Wu Mei would be extravagant and take out something else.

We ate so much meat and white flour dumplings yesterday, and rice porridge today. It was already luxurious enough, so there was no need to add anything else.

After breakfast, when those who were going to work went to work and those who were going to school went to school, Wu Mei and her mother looked at each other at home. For a moment, Wu Mei didn't know what to say.

Wu Mei didn't know what to say, but Chen Fang had something to say. The most important thing was that she was afraid that Wu Mei would make a mistake in the countryside.

"Daya, tell me honestly, do you have a date in the countryside?"

When Wu Mei heard her mother suddenly change the topic to this, she didn't react for a moment. After knowing what her mother said, she quickly waved her hands.

"No, no, I'm so busy working in the countryside that I don't have time to think about those things."

Wu Mei felt a little shy when she heard Chen Fang suddenly speak so casually.

To be honest, although Wu Mei had thought about getting married in the future, she only thought about it in her heart and never dared to say it out loud.

Although she often heard Wei Wei and others talk about this matter, she just listened. Except when her name was called, she usually would not take the initiative to speak on such matters.

Therefore, when this matter was suddenly brought up in front of her, especially by her own mother, Wu Mei felt a little shy for a moment.

Chen Fang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

"That's good, Daya. You must remember that you must never date casually in the countryside. If you find someone from the countryside or someone who can't bring you back to the city, then you will have to stay in the countryside for the rest of your life.

Now you know how hard it is to dig for food in the fields. Wait for your mother to find someone who can transfer you back.

In any case, it's more comfortable to go back to the city, at least I don't have to dig for food in the fields."

Chen Fang would not doubt Wu Mei's words, mainly because she raised her daughter and she knew her daughter's personality.

Although he became more extravagant after a year in the countryside, his nature remained unchanged.

Chen Fang even thought that Wu Mei had become more extravagant because she thought her life in the countryside was too hard, and she couldn't wait to improve her food after she came back.

But the family is not well off, and she had tried her best to help improve the situation yesterday, but she will be powerless to do anything for the next period of time.

However, Chen Fang believed Wu Mei's statement that she was not dating.

But Wu Mei was stunned when she heard this. She was not stunned by the fact that her mother did not allow her to have a boyfriend, but she was stunned by the fact that her mother said she would find her a boyfriend who could return to the city.

It’s not that she looks down on her mother, but her family really doesn’t have such abilities and connections.

Among those who are able to stay in the city now, who would be willing to marry someone who is unemployed?

Moreover, her household registration and food have been transferred to the countryside. If she does not have a job, it will be difficult to transfer her household registration back. Then she will always have a rural household registration, and her future children will also have a rural household registration.

In this case, whoever is willing to marry such a person would be willing to do so.

If she really wanted to find such a person, Wu Mei instantly thought of a word in her mind, that is, stepmother, and be someone's stepmother.

Thinking of this, we felt rejected and quickly dispelled her mother's idea.

"This is not something we can decide. Our family doesn't have such connections. Even if such a good thing happens, it won't be our turn."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fang rolled her eyes at Wu Mei.

"You're just too naive. When it comes to things like marriage, you have to be picky and choose carefully, comparing prices from three different shops.

Moreover, we don’t have to find this kind of relationship by ourselves. We can find some connections and a good matchmaker. There are all kinds of resources available.

Don’t be shy about this kind of thing, or else someone else will snatch the good stuff away.”

Anyway, Chen Fang was determined to get her daughter back.

Chen Fang felt a little distressed to let her daughter work hard in the countryside, digging for food in the fields all her life.

She had supported Wu Mei's studies for so many years, not to let her writing hands go to the fields to dig for food.

But Wu Mei was not optimistic. To be honest, she did not think Chen Fang's idea was reliable.

Destiny should be in one's own hands, rather than relying on others. Relying on others will make people run away, and relying on mountains will make them fall. She has learned this truth over the past year.

What's more, if one person can support a whole family, how could she be the one to take advantage of such a person?

Apart from being with Wei Wei and the others, Wu Mei still didn't believe that there would be any good thing that would fall from the sky.

Those powerful people have plenty of people waiting for them to choose.

If she really encounters such a situation, then there must be something unspeakable about the man, something that those who are better off than her look down upon.

Generally speaking, this kind of unspeakable place is a fatal flaw, otherwise it is impossible for no one to be interested in his conditions.

Wu Mei shuddered at the thought of this, and she remembered the stories in Wei Wei's novels.

Would her mother find her an old man with a tendency to domestic violence? Thinking of this, Wu Mei felt like she was soaked in an ice cellar.

Wu Mei had seen what kind of life a woman who was beaten by men all year round lived. Thinking that this might be the consequence for her in the future, Wu Mei was so scared that she almost broke out in a cold sweat.

But Wu Mei reacted quickly, mainly because she felt that her mother would not cheat her like this.

Although her mother's attitude towards her has changed a little, she probably won't push her into the fire pit. Therefore, Wu Mei has calmed down a little and is not so panicked anymore.

However, Wu Mei was secretly on guard in her heart, took the matter to heart, and was extra cautious.
