Xiao Li expressed her thoughts and requirements: "You can date and enjoy all the beauty of love."
When your father and I first got together, we were very sweet together. He would often give me small gifts, bring me breakfast, pick me up from get off work, and take me out to try delicious food..."
Xiao Li looked nostalgic, but she was actually thinking about the perks that girls should enjoy when they are in a relationship.
"You also need to protect yourself. Don't do anything you shouldn't do before marriage. Mom hopes you can get married after you turn 28."
You should study hard now so that you can find a good job after graduation.
Once things are stable, get married and have children to lay a solid foundation for your future life.
At this point, Dong Qingqing blushed a little, as she hadn't thought that far ahead yet.
"Mom, I promise you, I will protect myself and won't do anything reckless."
Xiaoli nodded, "It's good that you know your limits. Mom wants to be your friend in life. If you have any problems or troubles, you can ask Mom for help."
Dong Qingqing felt extremely happy. At this moment, she felt that she was complete. From now on, there would be no more obstacles between her and Xunfei.
"Mom, thank you! I really love you."
"Okay, eat your fruit and go to bed early. I'm going to get my beauty sleep too."
Dong Qingqing nodded obediently. Looking at her mother's beautiful skin, she seemed to be deep in thought. Her mother had become more beautiful recently. Did beauty sleep really work? She wanted to try it too.
During their two days at home, Xiaoli cooked delicious meals every day, and the mother and daughter discussed food, scenery from different places, fashion, music, and more.
Dong Qingqing felt that she had never truly known her mother. Her mother was so knowledgeable and experienced, which made her feel insignificant.
"During this period, I went to see the ocean tides, sunrises and sunsets, climbed famous mountains, and saw many historical sites. I feel that my horizons have been broadened."
I've realized how insignificant I was before, only thinking about work and you every day. Now I see how wonderful and diverse this world is, and that being myself is great.
As Dong Qingqing listened to her mother share her experiences, she suddenly felt a pang of jealousy for her former self, realizing that her mother no longer completely belonged to her.
"We can go together sometime. I invested in a farm in Nanshi. We can go flower viewing, fishing, and fruit picking..."
Dong Qingqing became excited, "Then it's a deal, we'll go when I have my vacation."
Xiao Li nodded in agreement.
The weekend holiday was over, and Dong Qingqing reluctantly went to school. She found that she didn't really want to go to school anymore, and even Wang Xunfei didn't seem to have that much appeal to her.
However, knowing that her mother had agreed, she happily went to school again, wanting to tell Xunfei the good news.
After class, the two met in the grove.
"Xunfei, my mom has agreed to us being together. Aren't you happy?"
Wang Xunfei thought that Dong Qingqing would definitely come home this time to tell him about her mother's hysteria again.
He had prepared a whole host of words of comfort, but he never expected to hear this news.
"Oh...is that so? I'm so glad, I'm so glad."
Dong Qingqing listened to his dry words without any surprise, only feeling very strange.
"Xunfei, didn't you say that as long as I talked to Mom properly, she would definitely agree? Why are you so surprised?"
Wang Xunfei was quite surprised, but it was beyond his expectations and caught him off guard, though he quickly recovered.
“Honey, of course I’m surprised, I’m actually quite delighted. I didn’t expect Auntie to be so understanding and agree so quickly.”
He stroked Dong Qingqing's long hair. "You know, my family is poor, and many people look down on us. I thought my aunt was like that too, but I never expected her to be such a good person."
Dong Qingqing slapped Wang Xunfei's arm. "Of course my mother is good. She's not the kind of person who's materialistic and looks down on the poor."
"Yes, yes, I was being petty. I will definitely apologize to Auntie next time."
Dong Qingqing then smiled.
The two went to buy milk tea. When it came time to pay, Dong Qingqing instinctively reached for her wallet, but stopped herself.
Mom told me a lot of funny stories about her dates with Dad in the past; she's not a novice anymore.
When you go on a date with a guy, you shouldn't always insist on paying, as that will hurt his pride.
Of course, you shouldn't take advantage of others. Just secretly pay for the meal next time. A relationship based on mutual exchange is more likely to last.
When Wang Xunfei saw Dong Qingqing take out her wallet, he instinctively waited to the side. However, when Dong Qingqing put the wallet back, his expression instantly turned sour.
What's wrong with Dong Qingqing? Doesn't she know his family is poor? If she hadn't insisted on drinking such expensive milk tea, why would he have drunk something like that?
"It's twenty-six yuan in total."
Wang Xunfei gritted his teeth, but Dong Qingqing was still busy inserting the straw into the cup and didn't even look at him.
Finally, he took out his wallet and took out the money.
As Dong Qingqing walked out of the milk tea shop, she glanced at Wang Xunfei. Sure enough, his face was red. He must have felt embarrassed that she had tried to pay earlier.
He had said before that he would pay, but I wouldn't let him, always wanting him to save the money for better meals.
Wang Xunfei felt his heart bleed as he thought about the twenty-six yuan he had just paid; that cup of milk tea cost him a whole meal.
However, he still said it with a smile.
"Qingqing, I told you I'd pay, but you always try to take it. Today I finally won, right?"
Dong Qingqing nodded inwardly as she looked at Wang Xunfei's smug expression.
It seems Mom was right; men are indeed concerned about their image, and we can't let them lose face.
Wang Xunfei escorted Dong Qingqing downstairs and watched her go upstairs before turning back to his dormitory.
His face was pale, and he felt even worse inside.
I went on a date with Dong Qingqing today, and it cost me a total of 100 yuan. The milk tea was 26 yuan, the kebabs were 52 yuan, and I also bought two broken hair ties, which cost me 22 yuan.
Although Dong Qingqing paid for the meal and bought water for the two of them, he still felt bad about spending his 100 yuan.
When Dong Qingqing returned to her dormitory, she took out her phone and called Xiaoli, telling her everything that had happened that day.
"Mom, we have a great relationship. I had so much fun going out today. You were right. I received a hair tie from Xunfei. I'm so happy."
Xiao Li's lips twitched slightly, a smug smile appearing on her face. Making a phone call every night was also something she had requested.
It's impossible for a man from a humble background (or "phoenix man") not to be after the woman's money, unless the relationship is truly good.
"Of course, these are all my personal experiences. It was the same when your father and I were dating."
