brother-in-law's melancholy

Qin Yi went to the hotel to pick up Ms. Jiang. Ms. Jiang changed into a more formal outfit today, a sky blue shirt and white cropped pants, which looked much stronger.

Although the Qin family and the Jiang family have become accustomed to the behavior of Qin Yi's parents, they passed by with their eyes closed. They can play whatever they want abroad on weekdays, but they must behave decently when they come back, so Qin Both mom and dad Qin don't like coming back very much.

But now that I'm back, I can't justify not going home for a meal.

Because it was Ms. Jiang who came back, Uncle Qin also took this opportunity to invite the Jiang family's in-laws over for dinner. Ms. Jiang is the youngest in the family. At this age, her parents are long gone. Now her elder brother is in charge of the Jiang family.

There were quite a few people from the Jiang family. Ms. Jiang's brothers and sisters all came with their families. After their parents passed away, Ms. Jiang, who had always spoken softly to them, was even more reluctant to come back.She has lived until now, without a stable family, without a true loving partner, and even her son has grown up and no longer depends on her, and all this is caused by her self-righteous parents, even though their death makes her feel sad , but I won't let go of my grudge because of this.

It is rare for Qin Yi to see his uncles and aunts once. The Jiang family went to the neighboring city to develop a long time ago, and they only come back to sweep the tomb during the Qingming and Chongyang Festivals. Qin Yi is not close to his uncles because Ms. There is also little contact with the family.

This is because Qin Yi saw his uncle and aunt's family again after a few years. They all have gray hair, and they are over 60 years old. Cousins ​​and sisters who are of the same generation as Qin Yi did not come. I heard it was Stay in the neighboring city in case something happens temporarily to the company.

But their children followed the old people. Those children were seven or eight years old, and some were twelve or thirteen years old. Their eyeballs had been rolling since they came in. They didn't know what the hell they were thinking, and they ran out after a while. up.

Ms. Jiang came late with her son, and Qin Yi walked beside Ms. Jiang. The mother and son had a good relationship holding hands. From a distance, Ms. Jiang was at most 30 years old, and those who sat on the sofa had gray hair. The people here are not of the same generation at all.

Ms. Jiang sat down on the empty sofa, and Qin Yi was by her side. She looked at her brother and sister whom she hadn't seen for many years, and just nodded slightly: "Brother, sister."

Qin Yi also called out uncle, aunt, and uncle.

The atmosphere was a little stiff, so Uncle Qin laughed and said, "Sisters and sisters, you and your elder brother haven't seen each other for several years. This time you finally came back, so they came to see you."

Brother Jiang has become a bit old-fashioned, not as tough and old-fashioned as before. Speaking of which, Ms. Jiang was forced to marry into the Qin family. He and his daughter-in-law have contributed a lot. Now that they meet, Ms. Jiang will naturally not have Much amiable.

Mrs. Jiang took the little granddaughter who was nibbling with apples, and then hugged the little grandson who climbed on the back of the sofa, and taught them to call people.

"Linlin, Tutu, come and call someone. This is your little aunt, and this is your little cousin."

Without raising their heads, the two children closed their eyes and yelled "little aunt and little cousin", then broke away from Mrs. Jiang's hand and ran to another place.

Not to be outdone, Sister Jiang yelled the names of their children. After a while, two half-grown boys ran in through the side door without changing their shoes. footprint.

The two children reluctantly ran to the sofa, muttering unhappily: "What are you doing, grandma, my brother and I are playing with crickets."

The yard of the Qin family's mansion was planted with flowers, plants and trees. It was not surprising that there would be crickets at this time, but everyone did not expect that these two boys were born in wealthy families, but like wild children, they liked to play with these things.

Sister Jiang patted the grass clippings on them, pulled them and said to Ms. Jiang: "Sister, these are the two grandchildren of my sister's family. You two, quickly call aunt and uncle." Said by her two grandsons.

Ms. Jiang has been Miss Jiao since she was a child, and later she worked in the fashion industry. She is used to being glamorous. Seeing such a dirty child, she was a little disgusted. She waved her hand and said, "You don't have to be so polite, just order casually."

But what kind of aunt and aunt is thinking in my heart, it sounds like Low is dead, is my old lady that old?

Although Uncle Qin was heartbroken about the floor at home, he still had to greet the guests with a smile on his face, boasting against his will: "These children look lively and smart, and they will definitely make a difference in the future."

Elderly people, they would be very happy to hear others praise their children for being smart. A few elderly people were chattering about the children, and Qin Yi took melon seeds to Ms. Jiang to eat. Both mother and son wanted to pass the time. Walk.

They were chatting over there, and brought the topic to Qin Yi. Seeing that Qin Yi and his mother had nothing to do with each other, Uncle Qin sighed and said, "Oh, if our A Yi got married a few years earlier... , and now the children can run all over the place.”

Sister Jiang immediately said: "It's not too late to tie the knot now, and I can hug it at the earliest next Spring Festival."

Uncle Qin sighed and said: "It's a pity that Ah Yi still doesn't want to settle down. He has introduced so many girls to him, but he doesn't have a crush on any of them. What should we do?"

Mrs. Jiang interjected: "Ah Yi hasn't met a girl he likes yet. If you don't dislike Lu Yuan, tell me what kind of girl you like. I'll ask my natal family to find some girls for him from our side."

Uncle Qin is very active in this kind of thing, he said: "Okay, the distance is not a problem, when the time comes, we can afford it, and we can afford the bride price. If the girl's family is worried, we will buy a house, a car and find a job." Let them settle here again."

The few of them got into a discussion, regardless of whether the client and the client's mother were happy or not, seeing that they were about to add their contact information, Ms. Jiang put down the melon seeds in her hand and clapped her hands to attract their attention.

Sister Jiang thought she was also interested, and was about to ask her to join the united front for marriage urging, when she said, "I am not in a hurry with my son, you just worry about it, do I want to thank you?"

Mrs. Jiang, who was the most excited to chat, choked on what my sister-in-law said, and said with a dry smile: "Isn't it because A Yi is so old and hasn't married yet, so I'm worried about him."

Sister Jiang usually dislikes her sister-in-law, but today she sang with her about this matter, saying: "Hey, sister, your sister-in-law is also taking care of you because of A Yi, you see how old A Yi is now, how old is she?" He's 31, he's still alone, no woman will take care of him, how can this work, it's okay if you don't care about him, but at this time, you should plan for his future."

Ms. Jiang is an independent woman in the new era. She dislikes the saying in China that a woman has to work hard for her husband's family when she gets married. She tugged at the corners of her mouth, which was painted with bright lipstick, and said with a sneer: "You also know that I don't like my son. Don't worry, it's your business that you love to marry and work hard for the rest of your life, don't use this kind of thinking to abuse young girls, as long as my son's future is his own decision, you don't need to worry about it."

She is used to being sought after by others, she has a straightforward temper, and she completely disregards other people's faces when she speaks. When she said this, everyone's expressions were not very good-looking.

Uncle Qin has no blood relationship with her, and his brother is still in the middle of the relationship. It is not easy to stand up and criticize her now. Brother Jiang saw that her words were really rebellious, so he called her name with a sullen face.

Mrs. Jiang is a tactful and sophisticated woman. When she saw that the siblings were about to quarrel, she hurried out to smooth things over, so as not to embarrass herself in other people's homes.

"Hey, it's okay, it's okay, we finally met with my little sister, don't be so fierce."

Brother Jiang also noticed his gaffe, so he sat back and stopped making any noise. Sister Jiang coaxed her husband well, and then tirelessly persuaded Ms. Jiang: "Sister, my sister-in-law is someone who has experienced it, and what she said is sincere. You see, you are also 50 this year. It’s not a good idea to always live abroad without a fixed place. It’s okay now. After a few years, when I get old and can’t play anymore, I have to go back to China to stabilize. When you see it, there are people around you Some old ladies of the same age have families, wives and children and grandchildren, and you are alone, how lonely. Think about it, if Ah Yi gets married and marries a virtuous woman, in a few years I will give you Give birth to a few grandchildren, and when you come back to take care of yourself, A Yi's wife can help take care of you, and you can help the young couple take care of their children, how great it is."

Ms. Jiang sneered and said, "I can't bear this kind of life. When you persuaded me to marry A Yi's father, why didn't you think about it for me? Sister-in-law, I didn't mean you. I really don't want to live a life like yours." , you look like a wealthy wife, you are only in your early [-]s this year, I remember you are only a few years older than me, look now, don't you feel ashamed to stand with me? I am living a good life now Well, I am free, I have money to spend and I don’t have to look at the faces of my husband and son and daughter-in-law, and I don’t have to take care of my eldest son and my son. I spend all day and night around my children and my husband. I go abroad when I want to go abroad, and go shopping when I want to go shopping. , when I have nothing to do, I can go to the beauty salon for a day, why bother myself?"

Mrs. Jiang's face turned red and pale at what she said. Seeing that her face had been young and beautiful for decades, she was angry and didn't want to explode in other people's homes, so she could only pull her granddaughter and pretend not to care.

After hearing this, Sister Jiang felt that she was just showing off to herself how well she had lived these years, and how unfortunate she and Sister Jiang were. She admitted that she was unlucky, but before she thought her sister married The prodigal son should not be happy, and he still has a balance in his heart, but now it seems that this is not the case at all. Although he does not have a husband to rely on, he is capable and does not need a husband to support him.

She was very resentful, and said sourly: "You are just being stubborn now. When you are old, your husband is not around, your son has not married, and no one will take care of you, you will regret it. You, that is Too selfish, only thinking of himself, who will take care of Ah Yi in the future, who will raise him? How will the incense of brother-in-law continue? You are wrong, do you know?"

Ms. Jiang answered her with all her might: "I'm rich. Nothing can be done with money these days. To put it bluntly, as long as I have money, a lot of men will think of giving me retirement. my son?"

Uncle Qin saw that these women were arguing so much that they almost knocked off the roof of the house, so he hurriedly intervened.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing, instead of arguing about what you have and what you don't have, it's better to ask A Yi what you think. No matter what you say, if A Yi wants to get married, she will still get married, and if she doesn't want to get married, she will still not get married." Uncle Qin Looking at Qin Yi who has been eating watermelon since just now, she asked him, "Ah Yi, when do you plan to get married and have children?"

Qin Yi threw the melon rind into the trash can, and said with a smile, "I don't like children who are too young, so I probably won't have children."

Uncle Qin didn't expect him to answer like this, he was at a loss for words for a moment, pointing at him and unable to speak.

Aunt Jiang took her two grandchildren and said to him, "Ah Yi, look, how cute children are, how can you make such an arbitrary conclusion?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the younger one was unwilling to be grabbed by her, unable to struggle, turned around in a rage and hammered her chest.

Qin Yi looked at her with a disapproving smile on his face.

Uncle Qin was almost pissed off by their mother and son. He originally called his in-laws to do ideological work for Qin Yi, let him get married and have children early, and pass on the family line to his younger brother, but he didn't expect that the mother and son came here to talk back It was annoying, he was angry, and he couldn't express it out of face, his old face was flushed.

The atmosphere was deadlocked, and no one spoke except for the crying of the child. Qin Yang came over from get off work at this moment, and when he entered the door, he saw the strange atmosphere in the living room, and asked hesitantly, "What's the matter? Why don't everyone talk?"

Seeing that he finally had someone to vent his anger on, Uncle Qin snorted heavily at her.

Qin Yang didn't understand anything, so his father gave him a look of bewilderment.

She had to sit next to Ms. Jiang. She was about the same age as Ms. Jiang. Since Ms. Jiang got married, she had a good impression of this little aunt. He took a piece of watermelon and asked while eating, "Auntie, what are you doing?"

Uncle Qin responded to her angrily: "It's not because of your brother's life, the whole world is worrying about him, he seems like a normal person."

Qin Yang is quite speechless as her father, who worries about the marriages of other people's children all day long, and even mobilizes people to form cliques to worry about whether he is too busy at home after retirement. Should he discuss it with Qin Ge and give him Sign up for a few senior classes or something.

"No, Dad, why are you still worrying about this matter? Didn't Ayi say that we don't need to worry about it? Can't you go out and see the world more when you have time?"

Uncle Qin stared at her with a beard blowing: "If you don't worry about him, he doesn't know how to plan his own life!"

Qin Yang complained in a low voice: "I don't need you to plan at all, A Yi, I can be in love with work, it's alright, just you worry about it all day long."

Her words were not loud, but they were heard by those who cared. Sister Jiang, who was still angry with her sister, grasped the point of her words and asked her excitedly: "Sister-in-law, is what you said true? Ah Yi has someone he likes?"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Yang became the focus of attention. She was still holding a piece of melon in her hand, and was flustered by those eyes. She glanced at Qin Yi, gave him an unintentional look, and casually pulled An excuse to go to the kitchen.

"Why is it so late and I haven't eaten yet, I'll go to the kitchen to remind you."

Uncle Qin looked at Qin Yi with concern, and asked him expectantly: "A Yi, is what your sister said true?"

Qin Yi came here with his mother today, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to come out. With Ms. Jiang supporting him, the others were not his parents, and they had no direct nurturing grace for him. Naturally, he had no position to criticize in front of his mother. His is not.

He nodded naturally, without any evasion: "Yes, I already have someone I like, and I live with him now."

When Uncle Qin heard it, his heart was full of joy, and Sister Jiang, sister-in-law Jiang, who was opposite him, also looked at him, eager to get something out of his mouth.

"Ah Yi, why haven't I heard you mention it before, when did you hand it in, and who is the other party, how is it good for you?"

Qin Yi replied with a smile: "Uncle, you have met him, you have received the things he gave you, and you asked me to bring him over for dinner."

Uncle Qin is old, and his memory is not as good as before. Hearing what Qin Yi said, he would not be able to remember for a while, and asked, "Really? Why don't I remember?"

Qin Yang came out with a piece of corn from the kitchen, and said to her father: "Didn't Qin Yi come here with the ball during the Lantern Festival, you forgot."

Uncle Qin responded with two oh-oh-ohhs: "Yes, Qiuqiu—wait a minute, isn't Qiuqiu a girl?"

Qin Yi said: "I like him."
