At night, on the big bed in the hotel, Zhou Jiao hugged Xiaojiu, patted Xiaojiu who was hugging her tightly in her arms, and continued to give instructions in a soft voice.
——She pretended not to notice the child's silent tears, but her heart was filled with bitterness.
How helpless a little girl must have been in a strange country, alone, facing language barriers and some complicated interpersonal relationships.
There was a time when she felt like a floating duckweed, without roots, drifting with the current, without a destination, and unable to find the meaning of life.
The world I feel is full of malice towards me.
For Xiaojiu, May Day was just like when she met Zhang Guoqing. Zhou Jiao knew too well what a life-saving straw this was.
When a person is alive, he is afraid of having no hope in his heart and not being able to find a goal.
The next day, Zhou Jiao privately met with her son and had a serious talk with him.
After hearing Wuyi's heartfelt words, Zhou Jiao could only sigh that there was a deviation in her education of her three sons since childhood.
Her three sons are actually very realistic.
People like Ping An and Liu Yi are very rational in dealing with feelings. They don't believe in love at first sight at all. And Wu Yi is even more so.
In the words of the youngest son, he understands human nature too well. This girl has not met anyone better yet, otherwise no one knows what will happen in the future.
Yes, it’s not that he doesn’t like it, but he doesn’t dare. He knows too much and gives too much, but in turn, he gets more hurt.
Zhou Jiao can even imagine her child's future.
Once he finished his studies and returned to China, Xiaojiu didn't persist.
His marriage is likely to be with a strong partner, and he will give priority to choosing a partner who will be beneficial to his future without the pressure from his elders.
Zhou Jiao wanted to slap herself.
——What she has always wanted is for her son to be happy, but where do these ideas come from now, and who is the culprit?
Her Ping An has Qu Shengmei who has been loyal to him since childhood, her Liu Yi has Yi Tangtang who keeps a pair of eyes fixed on him, but what about her Wu Yi? What should she do?
She really has high hopes for Xiaojiu.
A family like hers has everything, but sincerity is so hard to come by.
Especially people like them, who desire to be loved but are afraid of being loved. After finally opening their hearts, once they are hurt, they will never be able to love again in this life.
If she hadn't taken this step on May Day, he might have regretted it in the future, regretting having lost her purest heart.
In order to make up for her mistake, as a mother, she could only analyze the situation slowly for him, give him gentle advice, and enlighten him secretly.
You must know that in this world, no one will wait for you in stagnant place. If you hesitate in many things, you really can't hurt a girl's sincerity.
As for the unpredictable accidents in the future.
Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
If you have concerns, address them; if you have the ability, teach them; if there are any problems, be honest with them. This way, if you really have regrets in the future, you will have no regrets in this life.
She didn't know if her words had truly resonated with her son. But she couldn't betray her son by telling Xiaojiu out of sympathy and love.
Now that the matter is settled, my son will definitely not be able to escape!
Being a mother to this point is really painful for her. If she was not abroad, Zhou Jiao really wanted to ask Zhang Guoqing for advice on the other end of the phone.
The moment she boarded the plane to return home, Zhou Jiao still couldn't let go of her youngest son's lifelong affairs.
However, after Zhang Guoqing took her back, he opened his mouth in surprise.
"Wife, do you feel that you are actually quite biased?"
Zhou Jiao smiled and nodded in agreement.
"This isn't conducive to family stability." Zhang Guoqing finished his joke and said seriously, "Xiaojiu is not you, and you are not Xiaojiu. As parents, we must never convince our children with our own ideas.
We're on May Day, and he has his own ideas. If a man backs off in front of a girl he likes, it only means one thing: he's not in love yet."
"real?"
"It's still cooking. I'm a man, I know my sons better. They've long since protected what they agree on within their own territory. Look at Ping'an and Liuyi, right? The three brothers grew up together, all with their own moral character and domineering nature. How different could they be in nature?"
Zhou Jiao looked at him hesitantly.
Zhang Guoqing was so anxious. You are an emotionally dull little idiot. How can you make a living by being pitiful? You are also instilling your old ideas into your son. Don't teach his son a fool!
"Tonight, when my son calls, I'll let him make his own decision." Zhang Guoqing warned her worriedly, "Don't get involved."
"Xiaojiu is fine."
"What's good about it? I'm not marrying you. If my son doesn't think it's good, then no one is good. My son is right. It's just that there hasn't been a better candidate than him yet. Otherwise, who knows?
True gold fears no fire, and my son is right. Wait, wait for time to test him. Anyway, my son has plenty of time now, and I'm not in a hurry for him to start a family and build a career."
This was the first time the couple had a disagreement about their son.
On major matters, Zhou Jiao still prioritized Zhang Guoqing. After hearing what he said, what else could she do? He was the only one who had the final say. Especially once he spoke to his father-in-law.
Her father actually agreed wholeheartedly!
No, even her two sons who had specially rushed back to welcome her, and her mother who had just been on the same front with her, had turned against her and agreed.
There is really no love!
I don't understand what it means that true love is hard to find.
——She finally showed some favoritism to the poor girl Xiaojiu, but it was all ruined by them.
Zhou Jiao, who was alone and powerless, could only reflect on herself while listening to the three generations of her family chatting happily on the international phone.
In the end, it was her two considerate sons who, worried that their sensitive and thoughtful mother would think wrongly, stayed by her side, one on each side.
"Mom, don't you know how thoughtful my brother is? As for him, I guess he's either trying to discipline his wife, or his feelings for Xiaojiu haven't reached the level of love yet."
"My brother's guess was absolutely right," Liuyi followed up on him, "Mom, have you forgotten how much trouble Wuyi made when he wanted to get a military dog?"
Ping An almost burst out laughing. "Although this metaphor isn't quite right, the meaning is pretty much the same. Ever since he was little, he's been obsessed with bringing anything he's taken a fancy to back home."
"Indeed! I think he has understood that dogs are different from humans. He has made progress."
Zhou Jiao looked at the two brothers with amusement, especially Liuyi. She finally understood why Wuyi always liked to bicker with his brother. With your sharp tongue, it would be strange if they didn't quarrel!
"Don't worry, just wait for him to find you a suitable wife. After all, Xiaojiu has had too little contact with us, so he'll have to observe slowly to see if she's suitable.
If she's a good person, Wuyi will naturally not let her go. Wait, she's only been abroad for a short time, people's hearts are fickle, if she really doesn't have the patience to protect my brother, she'd better get out as soon as possible."
After hearing what her two sons said, what else did Zhou Jiao do?
They all make sense!
