Chapter 210 Marriage or Not
We played here for a few days, took a lot of beautiful photos, and ate a lot of delicious food. Except for a certain Yinzi who basically drank milk and ate rice porridge, the other three all had a great time.
All the way up, there is one more place to go.
It is cooler and more comfortable here, with more scenic spots. It was even once a wedding photo shooting location. Some wealthy couples from other places would drive here specifically to take wedding photos.
Yuanbao, who is dressed cutely, looks superior and has an outstanding temperament, was even caught to be a flower girl.
Yuanbao was happy to do so, but Shi Qingqing still asked that the child's face not be photographed.
Yuanbao was tired after cooperating with the three couples in the photo shoot, so Shi Qingqing changed her clothes and prepared for the family to have fun.
As a result, a newlywed couple, an old man and a young wife, came directly to ask Yuanbao to take photos.
Shi Qingqing glanced at them and picked up the child. "If you want a flower girl, go find a professional. We are just tourists."
"Oh, I understand. Maybe they gave us red envelopes? Don't worry, we will give you fifty! No, one hundred! We can afford it."
Shi Qingqing called out "Zhao Fengnian".
Sometimes, there is no need to even think about making sense.
Zhao Fengnian was originally a few steps away from the mother and daughter, and was accompanying his son to watch the vendor nearby scoop ice cream balls for customers.
When he heard his wife calling him, he decisively carried his son, who was still unsatisfied, to the mother and daughter.
Shi Qingqing took her sons, one in each hand, and nodded at the two people who had not yet left. "They want to force your daughter to be their background for the photo shoot."
"Really?" Zhao Fengnian asked the two men. His neck moved as he asked the question. With his physique of a pure northern man and his floral shirt, beach pants and flip-flops, he looked... not someone you want to mess with.
"Brother, your attitude is not good. I just wanted to ask your daughter for a favor when I got married. How can you be so pushy?"
Zhao Fengnian no longer had the patience to ask a second time, and took a big step towards the two men.
Some people around saw it and formed a circle around it silently.
It’s lively here!
Unfortunately, before the fun lasted for a few seconds, one party had already given up and ran away.
Zhao Fengnian chased him for two steps and then turned back.
Are you kidding? His wife and children are all here. How can I feel at ease if he runs away alone?
But when he turned around, he saw his wife chatting with someone.
Linda still dressed fashionably, but her hair was shorter and her skin was darker, but she looked more energetic.
She greeted Shi Qingqing: "I didn't expect to see you here. I haven't seen you for a few years. Your second child is big enough to be brought out to play."
Shi Qingqing also felt a little emotional. She especially remembered that her first large sum of money came from Linda, which solved her urgent need at that time.
Although Linda later avoided me a little after she came into contact with her friends in Hong Kong due to her position, I would still see her once every one or two years to say hello and have a meal with her.
The five hundred that year is still an indelible memory for her.
Since we met, we found a coffee shop and sat down to have a cup of coffee while the two children drank milk powder and juice respectively.
Zhao Fengnian still couldn't drink coffee and chose lemonade instead. As he drank it, he felt hungry.
Shi Qingqing smiled and asked the waiter for three dim sum. She pushed one to Linda and gave two to Zhao Fengnian and his daughter to fill their stomachs.
Linda watched Zhao Fengnian pass by and carry his daughter out to choose balloons, and suddenly said, "I used to think being single was happy, dating was good, and marriage was boring.
But every time I see you, I feel that this principle doesn’t apply to your family. The atmosphere in your family is really good. The man doesn’t get pregnant after just a few years of marriage, and I’ve never seen him smoke…”
Shi Qingqing held her son who wanted to move and coaxed him for a while, then listened to Linda talk about her recent love history, including a romantic man who cleaned teeth (this is not a typo), a French man who was good at saying sweet words, and a local civil servant.
Coming and going, she only felt the brilliant fireworks and wondered if she should settle down.
Shi Qingqing didn't want to talk about the hardships, anguish, and struggles her family had encountered. She only said, "Marriage and not getting married each have their own advantages and disadvantages. However, if you are financially free and can take good care of yourself, either choice is fine because you can afford the consequences of making the wrong choice."
She doesn't think that marriage will necessarily lead to a stable life. There are also cases of misfortune, and some even almost lose their lives.
She also doesn't think that everything will be fine if they don't get married. There are still many normal families. It's true that they help each other amidst quarrels, it's true that they go through difficulties together, it's true that they share happiness, and it's true that the family is harmonious and not lonely.
So, the choice is entirely up to the individual.
She had also considered not continuing the marriage. Between her silence, various misunderstandings, her own oversensitivity, Zhao Fengnian's day-to-day life, and his foolish filial piety, she really thought about giving up the marriage.
But step by step, the misunderstandings were resolved, the core of the conflict was found and dealt with accurately, and she and Zhao Fengnian opened their hearts to each other. Their marriage today is not perfect, but at least it is stable.
Both she and Zhao Fengnian knew how to be content, so their marriage could be considered a happy one.
Sometimes I look back and think about how I was too sensitive and had never been loved for a single day in my childhood. Perhaps Zhao Fengnian, who was thick-skinned, easy-going, not prone to violence and willing to reason, was the right match for me.
If he lacked any one of these qualities, the two of them probably wouldn't have gotten this far.
This day was achieved step by step.
Linda, who was standing by, stopped talking without knowing when. She received a phone call and said she had to go out with her photography friend.
Shi Qingqing saw her put a red bill under the coffee cup and thought that this might be the AA culture they insisted on.
She did not feel embarrassed about being rejected, and took the money readily, and then added some more money to settle today's expenses.
Outside, Yuanbao has been playing with balloons for a while.
What made Shi Qingqing even happier was that Yuanbao chose a balloon for everyone in the family.
He even didn't ignore his younger brother who was crying.
Shi Qingqing gave her son to Zhao Fengnian, squatted down, kissed her daughter, and said thank you. Her mother was very happy.
It doesn’t matter if you never received love before, and it doesn’t matter if you almost fell into a quagmire. As long as you are willing to walk, this quagmire will always have a boundary.
Linda's appearance seemed to create a ripple, which disappeared when the wind stopped.
The rest of the journey was no different. I had money and time to travel around and it was all comfortable and pleasant.
It’s just that Yuanbao was affected by this photo-taking incident, and he started to be unable to speak to people easily.
Still very serious.
Even say no for other kids.
There are two naughty kids in the community who often bully younger ones. Yuanbao will help them say no when they "ask for" snacks from other kids.
The naughty kid pushed him, and Yuanbao immediately went over to meet him.
Soon, Shi Qingqing, Yuanbao, and the two children's extended families were invited to the mediation room.
Although Yuanbao is young, she learns a lot of things. She learns the popular Taekwondo in the Children's Palace and also learns boxing twice a week at an outside training institution. Although she is not strong, she is clever and can use the opponent's force to counter her, so she has not suffered any loss.
Of course, the main reason was that two high school students were playing basketball and passed by and picked up the Yuanbao that was about to be destroyed and protected it behind them.
The mediation room is a place where adults engage in verbal battles. In an environment where surveillance cameras are not widely used, everything depends on the testimonies of the children themselves and eyewitnesses.
Soon the little girl who was helped by Yuanbao also came with her grandmother, saying that Yuanbao protected her and that the two bad brothers were thieves and bandits.
This grandma had never been caught in the act before, but now, with her buff and her ability to throw a tantrum, she is stronger than the other two families, and the mediation room was really lively for a while.
