Xun Liangfen remained unmoved and continued to lie on her side. In her opinion, no matter how the conversation went, she would always be the one in the wrong.
Hua Baoguo knew she wouldn't fall asleep so quickly, and said frankly, "I know my personality is not very likable, so when I'm working, I try to talk about work-related things and not involve personal feelings."
Sometimes my tone is a bit harsh, but that's what the job requires.
If you feel you can't adapt to this, how about I ask the higher-ups to change your position?
He still has some influence at work, and they had discussed it before, but Xun Liangfen refused.
"As for the things you mentioned about the family, that's really unfair to me. My parents have always been the ones making the decisions in our family."
It's rare for us to come home, so it's only right that we do more. After all, our three children call us Mom and Dad, and our parents have been taking care of us for many years. It's not wrong for us to do more when we come back.
When a family lives together, there are bound to be disagreements. Why don't you just talk things out? If you keep it all bottled up inside, won't you just suffer?
As for our hobbies, I'm a very straightforward person, how could I possibly guess if you didn't tell me?
I didn't mean anything by asking you tonight; I just thought if you enjoy hunting in the mountains, or have any other hobbies, you could tell me, and we can add them to our plans when we have more time in the future.
Hua Baoguo: "So now he's thinking that when he gets old, he'll have you continue to take care of him like before."
"Honey, let's be honest with each other. He shouldn't always complain about how life isn't perfect. This is perfect."
Hua Zhian whispered to his wife, "Comrade Xie Lanqiao, when he pinched you, were you still half-awake from your dream?"
Xun Liangfen was somewhat moved; these were the most heartfelt words Hua Baoguo had spoken in decades.
Yang Aiqing: "He knows your personality, doesn't he? Whether there's a problem on your end or not, I'm just afraid that if he goes back to stay for a couple of days, he'll be slower to get things done than you."
At most, while Gu Yu was alive, this place was like being pricked with needles; whoever got rid of it felt better.
He had been joking around the whole time, which made Hua Baoguo so angry that he shoved me and said, "Are you even a person with a conscience?"
In fact, both of them knew that going back to their hometown to live permanently was simply a possibility.
Hua Baoguo pulled the covers up and stared at the corner of the wall in silent contemplation. The bad impression was indeed true.
You were just making a plan with him. To be honest, you can see today that he's not as mischievous as he is when it comes to mountain climbing, but you're still unclear about whether you yourself are mischievous.
His father was always quick-witted, but now that he knows how to please his wife, he's eager to learn his mischievous ways too.
Sure enough, you can't have too little expectation of me. What a straightforward person I am! I've been calculating people to the bone.
Yang Aiqing arrived at the kitchen early in the morning, and surprisingly, Yang Aiqing was busy helping out in front of him.
There's no vegetable garden or fishpond in the front yard, so we have to go out and tidy it up every few days; it's completely unsustainable."
Hua Baoguo, who usually seemed the most detestable person with his sarcastic and eccentric manner, suddenly became kind and gentle.
Once the two people open up to each other, everything goes smoothly.
Since Xun Liangfen had no intention of rushing to resolve the relationship, she just wanted to make a self-deprecating joke: "There are many people who have lived a harder life than us. If we don't change our mindset, life will be much less stressful. Besides, we'll retire in a few years, and we can live wherever we like."
But what's wrong with your parents? They seem like they're acting strangely..."
Speaking of that topic, I'm actually quite confused myself. Aside from work, I don't have much of a leisure life, and I'm honestly not sure about it myself.
The Hua family was surprised to find that, in just one night, Xun Liangfen and I had undergone such a small change.
The courtyard is so small, and although it's still under renovation, we've put in so little effort. In the past, if it was in bad condition, we would just send it to the outside world.
To be honest, we haven't defeated a small group of people yet.
Judging from their current relationship, it seems the younger son has come to a realization, and the daughter-in-law has also understood.
"Did we used to live with several children?"
The two would often laugh and joke, which shocked and even made the whole family suspicious.
We talked about it a few times after that, but those two people never took our words seriously, and they just lived like that, rarely getting along.
Hua Zhian leaned against the old lady's shoulder and said with a fawning smile, "Grandma, leave those chores as they are. You and your brother might mess them up."
It marinated overnight, so I can't cook it today.
Tian Guihua glanced at the kitchen, then glared fiercely at her grandson, "What nonsense are you talking about? A family should be harmonious and happy like that."
"So you're saying that you had a hard time getting out of the countryside, and then you went back to farming?" Hua Baoguo complained, but his tone was no longer as harsh as before.
"In a few years, we'll both be retiring. Do you really want us to be staring at each other in our old age?"
“We’ll live with our parents,” Xun Liangfen said, feeling a bit too hot, and pulled the blanket up to lie down. “Your parents are such easygoing people, it’s good that they’re taking care of us if we live with them.”
She's a wicked mother-in-law to begin with, but her son and daughter-in-law are decent enough. We have to play the good guys and keep them in check. Who wants a harmonious family life?
Even Xun Liangfen, who is sometimes self-centered, has suddenly become incredibly considerate and attentive to her wife?
Tian Guihua flicked me on the forehead. "Are you confused now? Hurry up and gather up the firewood outside the yard and put it in the corner. We'll smoke all these wild game later."
Xun Liangfen laughed and said, "It's because you have a conscience..."
Even when he wanted to stay at his father-in-law's house for an extended period, you never objected and even accompanied him.
He's related to his relatives, and all his children are bad kids. Even if there aren't any major conflicts later on, those issues will fade away with time.
"Did you mean that?" Xun Liangfen was a little conflicted, realizing the misunderstanding caused by her own words. "If the children were not promising in the past, and the situation is so serious now, our family's life will only get worse and worse."
The anger in my heart has subsided by more than half. I'm not a sober person anymore, living a very clear-headed life. Why should you care?
Moreover, over those years he also saw that some children had a deeper bond with their parents than with us. If he wanted to deepen his bond with his children, he could only start by working with us, their parents.
Look at our parents when they were young, they never argued. But now that they're old, they watch your father fish with relatives, and your mother takes care of the children outside the home. They've lived a peaceful and uneventful life.
That was a truly heartfelt remark. Yang Aiqing turned to look at me. "Was that really true?"
Our parents are capable, and our children are outstanding. Aside from your spouse, has he done anything wrong? Has he found anyone else who is perfect for him?
Besides, you can tell from what your parents said that they used to stay at Xiangyun's place often. They saw that Jiang Yi bought this small house, right?
