Since Huo Yan didn't want to be alone with Yu Mengpeng and would rather go downstairs to buy drinks, Ning Shuyi was happy to skip the trip and followed Yu Mengpeng over first and sat down on the small sofa opposite her.
Next to this lounge is a large European-style window. Looking out, you can see a pedestrian street. The view is very good and quiet.
"Have you always come here before?" Ning Shuyi chatted with Yu Mengpeng, "Most people don't necessarily know about this wonderful place!"
"Well, I used to come here to read books and other things for a while, to hide and be quiet." Yu Mengpeng sighed helplessly, "You have also seen my mother. She is really not a bad person, but her character , and her nagging, if you stay with her for a long time, you will really feel broken!
She would always say the same thing to you over and over again in different words. Whatever you didn’t want to do, she would encourage you to do it. When you actually did something, she would pour cold water on you!
I really can't do anything right under her nose. Sometimes I get so upset by her that I have no choice but to hide away! "
"Are you still in college?" Ning Shuyi saw that now that she was here, without her parents around, she was obviously more relaxed and willing to speak, so she did not rush to the topic, but continued to talk relaxedly. Chatting with her, "You don't live on campus, but live at home and study?"
Yu Mengpeng waved his hands hurriedly: "I'm almost twenty-three this year, and I graduated from college last summer! If I were still in college, wouldn't I have to come here to read and study for some quiet time?"
"Are you preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination?" Ning Shuyi asked.
After all, a person who has graduated from college for more than half a year can be called by his mother at any time, and then have time to chat with them alone. This is definitely not the kind of leisure that a person can have while working.
Such a simple question made Yu Mengpeng sigh and began to complain about Ning Shuyi: "Don't mention it, I secretly review things for the postgraduate entrance examination! And I don't always have that time. Many times I I was still urged by my mother to go out and find a job!
Sister, you look like you have been studying for several years. You must not know how difficult it is for college students to find jobs after they graduate in the past two years! My resume is being submitted out loud, but even if I submit a dozen copies, I may not even get a single call!
I thought that my uncle would start his own company, but that was not possible. I would ask him to arrange a position for me first, and I would do it first, riding a donkey to find a horse. My mother wouldn't let me, saying that even my sister had not accepted my uncle's arrangement. I, a niece, went to her uncle's company with a shameful look on her face. Isn't that going to make her relatives and friends laugh to death!
She also told me that you have to go out on your own while you are young, and you cannot rely on your family to pave the way for everything. If the road is smooth and smooth, if you rely on your family, over time, you will become useless! "
Ning Shuyi remained silent. It was obvious that Yu Mengpeng was complaining, but what her mother said sounded reasonable. At this juncture, as a qualified listener, Fan Fan still hoped that this girl would be able to open up her chat box and give herself a good talk. To provide information, there can be no other position at this time.
"I said yes, how about I do the same as my sister and prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination! Anyway, my school is not famous, and it is difficult to find a job. Instead of running into obstacles everywhere, why not improve myself!
But my mother didn’t let me! You have to say that I'm not the one, and our family doesn't have that much spare money for me to prepare for the exam, so I should give up my ambition as soon as possible! "
Yu Mengpeng estimated that she had never had a chance to stop this bitter experience, but this time she finally got the chance. She didn't expect Ning Shuyi to respond to her story at all, so she continued talking on her own.
"So you're going to 'secretly' with your mother?" Ning Shuyi asked with a smile, "Are you going to secretly prepare for the exam, make a big splash, and give her a surprise?"
"I hope I can give her a surprise!" Yu Mengpeng sighed, "Actually, I just don't accept it. I want to prove to her that I am the material. Don't look down on me so much!
I am not willing to find an unsatisfactory and unsatisfactory job, so I have to give up my dream just to make ends meet!
Most importantly, I just don’t want my mom to always try to meddle in my life! Do you think it’s interesting? My uncle didn't pay much attention to my sister before. As soon as my sister graduated from college, he immediately wanted to intervene and interfere in my sister's life and work arrangements!
As for my mother, don’t look at her behavior towards my sister, which is called democracy, but is called open-minded! No matter what my sister does, she is the best aunt in the world, encouraging and praising me.
When it's my turn, she can kiss her daughter by herself, so she won't get this kind of treatment! They are exactly the same as my uncle, or else they are brother and sister! She is almost twenty years younger than my uncle, but her views and ideas are just as pedantic, and she is just as arbitrary and domineering towards her own children!
So I was not convinced, and I wanted to prove that I was right and she was wrong! "
"It's good to have this spirit." Ning Shuyi agreed.
Yu Mengpeng smiled bitterly: "Don't say it's anger, even if it's a fire in your heart, it can be doused by a super fire extinguisher like my mother! I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, my sister is three years older than me , we have never studied in the same school since childhood, and each stage happened to be different. In the past, we had no chance to meet except during holidays.
It was when I was about to graduate from college and my off-campus internship started. In order to hide from my mother, I often went to see my sister. Her place was my safe haven! My mother didn't dare to nag my sister. She had to speak loudly and angrily to her so that I could get some good treatment. "
"Your mother is such a good aunt!" Ning Shuyi followed her words and sighed, "It can be seen that she really cares about your cousin, and she takes better care of her on weekdays."
"No!" Yu Mengpeng said with a smile, "I was jealous because of this when I was a child! I felt that my mother loved my cousin but didn't love me. She cried and made trouble and was scolded by my mother!
My mother said that my aunt died early. My sister lost her mother at such a young age. She was already very pitiful. A child without a mother was Oak Grass. As a result, it happened that my uncle spent all the money in the family to treat my aunt. In order to support the family, he had to work hard to start a business, and he had no time to take care of my sister.
If she doesn't take care of my sister anymore, wouldn't my sister be so pitiful? So she must be good to my sister, and love her even more for my uncle and aunt, without making her feel uncomfortable.
Then tell me, after she said this, if I still make trouble, wouldn't I be too ignorant? After so many years, I have become accustomed to this pattern in our family. I never thought that the person who was jealous and angry when I was young would actually be the person who can best help me control my mother when I grow up! "
