Chapter 61
Zhang Chaoyang looked at Xu Di who was thinking silently, and his heart was in turmoil and he lost his composure.
I don’t know what Comrade Xu’s final decision was. He hasn’t said anything about his grandmother’s matter yet.
At this moment, Zhang Chaoyang felt that the things in his family were really annoying.
"Xu Di, Chaoyang, it's time to eat."
Aunt Wang was greeting two people in the kitchen. They had been talking for a long time, but no one knew how the conversation went.
"Auntie Wang, we are here."
Xu Di stood up and went into the kitchen first.
"How was it, did the talk go well?"
While Chaoyang was not coming in, Aunt Wang tried to sound out Xu Di's attitude. Little girl, you are very shy.
"Auntie Wang, Comrade Zhang is quite an outstanding person and his appearance suits my taste.
That is, I am a little worried about his family situation. ”
"His family situation, his parents?"
Aunt Wang was already used to looking after Chaoyang and his parents separately, and she didn't understand what was going on for a while.
"Well, he said his mother is rather snobbish and overbearing. His brother and sister-in-law have a bad relationship and always quarrel. His sister is a bit pretentious.
Comrade Zhang said that I don't need to worry about his family members except his grandmother because they don't have that good a relationship. He will not listen to his parents' arrangements and he can make his own decisions about his own affairs.
Aunt Wang, is this true? ”
Aunt Wang didn't expect Chaoyang to be so honest and described the family situation so clearly.
“It’s true, Chaoyang has lived with his grandmother since he was a child, and I watched him grow up.
His parents showed limited concern for him, and he went from disappointment to despair, no longer having any illusions about his parents.
From childhood to adulthood, no one else's advice would do anything for him except his grandmother. ”
Aunt Wang was telling the truth. After Chaoyang turned ten, he could handle both big and small things well on his own.
"That comrade Zhang is quite impressive. When I was in my teens, I even played tricks on my grandmother and wanted to go to the river to catch small fish."
Xu Di has some memories of her original self. She grew up with her grandparents and was really happy.
“Xu Di, if you have concerns about Chaoyang’s parents, there is no need to worry.
They did not raise Chaoyang, and Chaoyang had no feelings for them.
If you were married, you wouldn't see each other much more than a few times a year. ”
Aunt Wang thought this was not a big deal. At that time, every family had limited housing conditions, and the whole family was crowded together, making a lot of noise and there was no peace and quiet.
She works in the Women's Federation, and what she faces every day are the relationships between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the fights between sisters-in-law. She has seen it many times. A place like Chaoyang is considered pretty good.
"If we can only see each other a few times a year and live our own lives, I can accept that."
Xu Di also thought about it for a long time. At this time, it was too difficult to find a family like Aunt Wang's where there were few people and harmonious relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Zhang Chaoyang's conditions have both good and bad sides.
After comparison, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and Xu Di thinks it is worth considering. What she wants is different from others.
"Auntie Wang, Comrade Xu, I bought a few bottles of soda. What flavor do you want?"
Xu Di was talking to Aunt Wang and didn't notice when Comrade Zhang Chaoyang went out.
"I'll have the orange flavor, please."
"I want orange flavor too. When you get married, I'm going to drink."
Zhang Chaoyang's eyes lit up, Comrade Xu agreed.
"Comrade Zhang, how long is your vacation this time?"
"More than a month."
"Then let's first confirm our relationship and try to make contact.
I also need to talk to your family about your situation. ”
Xu Di thought that if they got to know each other better, and if she didn't feel uncomfortable with close contact, they could consider getting married.
"Comrade Xu, please give me more advice in the future."
Zhang Chaoyang was happy and had a smile on his face. He seemed much more friendly and less serious.
"Come, have dinner. I've cooked several dishes." Aunt Wang was busy arranging dinner, and things couldn't be settled in one day.
"I haven't eaten Aunt Wang's cooking for a long time. I'm really craving for it."
Zhang Chaoyang first picked up some food for Aunt Wang and Xu Di, and then ate himself.
At the dinner table, the three of them chatted about the customs and culture of the south, and they were quite happy about it.
After dinner, Xu Di and Zhang Chaoyang helped Aunt Wang clean up the kitchen.
"Okay, stop hanging around here and go watch a movie."
"Comrade Xu, can I invite you to go to the movies?"
"Let's go. I don't know if there are any new movies."
The two said goodbye to Aunt Wang and went out together.
In addition to the Wang family, Zhang Chaoyang solemnly said thank you.
"Comrade Xu, thank you for giving me the opportunity and thank you for your recognition of the military profession."
"Comrade Zhang, there's no need to say that. Blind dates are about finding someone who is right for each other and walking into another journey of life together."
Xu Di has his own ideas. Maybe, in this life, they will just live together. Perhaps, in the process of getting along, they will fall in love. These are all unknown, and it is more important to live in the present.
"Comrade Xu, there is something I need to confess to you."
Zhang Chaoyang felt that it was time to clarify the matter concerning his grandmother.
"What's up?"
Xu Di felt that this person had a lot of stories.
"My grandma is the Grandma Qian you know."
"What? Your grandma is Grandma Qian?"
Xu Di really didn't expect this. She knew that Grandma Qian lived alone and had only a housekeeper sent by the organization to take care of her.
As for why her family didn't stay with her, Grandma Qian didn't say, nor did she ask.
However, no one would have thought that Zhang Chaoyang was Grandma Qian’s grandson.
"My grandmother said that she didn't know you were an adult before, and because you looked quite young, she didn't think about it in that way.
Later, when I found out you were eighteen years old, I started to have some ideas. She wants you to be her granddaughter-in-law.
I'm also afraid that you don't want to marry a soldier, or that you don't like me, which would affect your relationship.
She had a hard time finding young friends to talk to, and she didn't want to lose someone to talk to because of these things. ”
Zhang Chaoyang explained why his grandmother hid her relationship with Xu Di.
“Grandma Qian is a very nice person. Although I was a little surprised, I felt relieved knowing that she is your grandma.
I still feel a little burdened about living with strangers. ”
Xu Di became more confident about her future life. Grandma Qian was still easy to get along with, at least she thought so.
“Thank you, my grandmother has a long story.
Let’s find a place later and I’ll tell you slowly. ”
Zhang Chaoyang planned to talk to Xu Di about the dispute between his grandparents so that she would understand.
"Okay, just say what you need to say. I don't like guessing riddles.
Now that everything has been made clear, everyone will be more at ease when getting along with each other. ”
“When people get along with each other, conflicts are inevitable. Quarrels are not terrible. Just talk about the issues and find ways to resolve them.
What I fear most is not saying something out loud and keeping it in my heart.
The problem will only get worse and worse, and eventually be out of control. ”
Zhang Chaoyang expressed his views, and Xu Di felt that they coincided with his own.
Many things are actually very easy to solve once you talk about them.
The two talked as they walked, with a distance of one person between them.
There was a cinema not far ahead, and they planned to find a corner to tell the story of their grandmother.
