"I think no matter what Shushu makes, there's nothing you don't like to eat." Meng Ying complained bluntly.
With Zhao Mingze's personality, even if the two girls fed him poison, he would happily swallow it.
"Hehe!" Zhao Mingze showed a bit of stupidity on his face that was totally inconsistent with his status.
"It's okay. I'm staying in Beijing all the time and won't be back for a while. I'll cook whatever you want to eat." She didn't have much to do anyway and was very free.
Zhao Mingze praised him profusely, "My daughter is the most filial, unlike those two brats who always make people angry." After saying that, he lowered his head and glared at Zhao Tianrui.
The child was so frightened that he kept hiding behind Jianshu, fearing that he would be caught and played mixed doubles again.
Jian Shu patted his head soothingly and gave Meng Ying a questioning look.
What happened? Zhao Tianrui made a mistake, so let's not talk about it, but how did Zhao Tianlei, who was so far away, offend his own father? He was so angry when he mentioned it, as if he had eaten gunpowder.
Meng Ying returned a helpless look, moved her mouth slightly, and silently uttered two words - marriage.
Oh, Jianshu suddenly realized, this is what it was for.
Ever since she got married, Zhao Mingze started to care about the older single men in the family. In his words, when a daughter marries off, there is one less person in the family, which makes people sad. But when a wife marries off, it is different. With one more person, there is only happiness.
Then, contrary to her usual attitude of letting things go, she started to join the army of urging marriage. She sent two letters every month, urging marriage every time.
This caused Zhao Tianlei to write a letter to Jianshu to complain and denounce his father's annoying behavior.
I always find it hilarious to read Jianshu, but out of brotherly love, I have to write letters back to comfort his wounded heart.
In fact, Zhao Tianlei was not unwilling to get married, but he just hadn't met the right person. There were few female comrades in the army, and he didn't like blind dates and advocated free love, so the prospect of finding a partner was even more unlikely.
He always ignored the letters from his father urging him to get married, and avoided blind dates introduced by him whenever possible.
After a long time, there was no result at all. Zhao Mingze, who was originally just a little bit interested, was really panicking. Could it be that his eldest son really planned to live out his life alone?
In the minds of parents of this era, getting married and having children in an orderly manner is the right way. Things like not getting married and being a DINK are all crooked ways and are absolutely unacceptable.
So Zhao Mingze started to take it seriously. If the person didn't reply to his letter, he would call him and bombard him with all kinds of calls. If he wasn't too far away and he wasn't too busy with work, he would definitely not be able to resist and go to arrest the person in person.
Whenever the father and son talk on the phone recently, they would start arguing after just a few words, with each of them being at loggerheads and arguing with each other, neither of them willing to give in.
Look, now he speaks with a strong sense of resentment.
Jian Shu was just as helpless as Meng Ying about this. In her opinion, getting married or not is a choice, and as long as you are willing, there is no absolute good or bad.
As for the idea that you will definitely regret it when you are old and others have a lively family with many children and grandchildren while you are alone and lonely, there is no point in saying it.
After all, who can guarantee that you won't regret getting married? Maybe in your early years, you will even feel that you would have been better off living alone.
As long as you follow your heart when making a choice, there's no need to go against your heart because of possible regrets in the future. After all, no one knows what will happen in the future, and the only thing you can do is seize the present moment.
Regret is just a useless emotion.
Of course, Zhao Tianlei has not reached this point. Growing up in this era, he still follows the conventional ideas of society in his bones, getting married and having children step by step, and does not have those ideas that are very rebellious nowadays.
But unlike those who just muddle through and settle for the right person, he is more looking for a spiritual connection. If he doesn't really like someone, he won't want them, even if that person is the perfect marriage partner.
As his sister, Jianshu could only support his idea. Since he had this idea, if he just found a partner, the two of them would not be happy.
She could only wish in her heart that he could find his other half as soon as possible.
"Uncle Zhao, you don't have to be anxious. They are so far away. There is no point in worrying. It will only make us angry. The key point is Brother Tianlei. Didn't he say that he wanted to find it himself? Then let him find it himself. Who knows, he might bring you a big surprise during the Chinese New Year." Jianshu tried to persuade him.
After all, it is not a good idea for the father and son to continue to torture each other like this.
Zhao Mingze raised his eyebrows, "He hasn't seen a woman in half a month and he's still looking for one himself? I'm afraid he's still single at his seventies or eighties!"
He gets angry just talking about it. He's not saying he can't find someone, but you should go find one. You stay at the base all day, never leaving the house, never going to social gatherings or anything like that. Where can you find a partner? In a dream?
Why is a blind date not okay? Aren't Kanshushu and Mingjing a good match? Besides, it doesn't mean you have to get married just because you're on a blind date. We've already said it's just a meeting to get to know each other. If there's no attraction, can't we just talk it out? Is someone supposed to force him into marriage?
I won’t do this, and I won’t do that. I’m going to be single for the rest of my life!
Jianshu: "..."Okay, it seems she is still angry, so she'd better fend for herself, there's no way she can be persuaded.
"Forget it, since he said so, let him do whatever he wants. If he finds the partner, then they can get married. If he can't find the partner, then that's his own choice and he should bear the consequences." Meng Ying also tried to smooth things over at this time.
She had also witnessed the quarrel between the father and son during this period. It was inappropriate for her to stand on either side of her husband or her son. Now, she took advantage of the topic brought up by Jianshu and tried to persuade them.
"After all, the child is grown up now and has his own ideas. As parents, we cannot interfere with his choices." When she said this, she sighed, feeling a little melancholy.
After hearing this, Zhao Mingze's anger suddenly dissipated. After a long while, he slowly said, "Let him be. I won't push him anymore."
Jian Shu hadn't expected a turnaround, and she felt a little happy for Zhao Tianlei. But seeing Zhao Mingze's back suddenly hunched slightly, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Parents always think that their child is still the young eagle under their protection, but they don’t know that the young eagle will one day grow wings and look forward to flying against the wind.
They will go from obeying others in the past to gradually developing their own ideas, and then having disagreements.
At this time, they must feel happy but also sad and lost.
