"Yan'er, what you transformed into is..."
Aunt Wang was just about to say a few words to bury her daughter when she saw Mao Sandao next to her and suddenly shut up.
"Sandao, come on, let's eat quickly."
Aunt Wang placed the bowls and chopsticks beside Mao Sandao and quickly asked him to sit down.
Then, Aunt Wang and Zhang Shuyan looked at each other, and then they exchanged glances inexplicably.
This scene happened to be seen by Mao Sandao inadvertently raising his head.
The look between these two people is a bit strange.
Looking at Zhang Shuyan and then Aunt Wang, Mao Sandao had an ominous premonition.
Could it be that today...
Mao Sandao slowly walked to the table and sat down with an ominous premonition.
Zhang Shuyan sat down directly next to him, and the chair creaked.
During the dinner, the three of them were very quiet, even surprisingly quiet.
Aunt Wang looked at Mao Sandao intentionally or unintentionally, as if she had something to say.
At the same time, the bad feeling in Mao Sandao's heart became stronger and stronger.
He ate more frequently. He wanted to finish his meal quickly before Aunt Wang could say anything, and then "escape" from this place.
Her mother kept hesitating, but Zhang Shuyan seemed a little anxious and kept winking at her mother.
After Aunt Wang made an OK gesture to Zhang Shuyan, she said, "Sandao, Auntie has something to think about..."
It’s over!
here we go!
Mao Sandao suddenly stood up from his chair and brought out all the lines he had organized during the meal:
"Auntie, I'm full! Thank you for the treat, Auntie! The food is delicious! I have something to do at home, so I'll go back first!"
Then he quickly bowed to Aunt Wang, turned around and walked towards the door.
Aunt Wang was stunned. She saw Mao Sandao running towards the door with his mouth like a submachine gun. She didn't react for a moment.
"Come back here!"
Zhang Shuyan pulled Mao Sandao back to the table, and she pinned the 1.8-meter tall man to the chair.
This frightened Aunt Wang, and she suddenly came back to her senses.
Mao Sandao curled his lips.
I am a dear mother, who are these people?
You fat girl, why are you so energetic?
Mao Sandao wanted to cry but had no tears, so he let Zhang Shuyan hold him down.
He tried to get up several times, but Zhang Shuyan's hands were too strong, as if there was a mountain pressing on his shoulders, making him unable to move.
"Yan'er, how many times have I told you that girls should learn to be gentle. Look at you, what has happened?" Aunt Wang complained.
Maybe she thought her daughter was too rude. She looked at Mao Sandao and explained with an embarrassed smile: "This child has been like this since he was a child. You know Sandao, so don't mind."
"No...don't mind."
Mao Sandao felt that he had no choice but to say he didn't mind.
"Sandao, Auntie is here to see you today. Actually, she has something she wants to discuss with you."
Aunt Wang sat upright in front of Mao Sandao, her expression gradually becoming serious.
"Ah? Oh, Auntie, tell me."
Mao Sandao had already made a rough guess, but still pretended not to know anything.
"Sandao, your grandfather has passed away. From now on, you will treat this as your aunt, this is your home, and your aunt and Yan'er will be your relatives from now on.
As for you, you are not young anymore. It just so happens that you and Yaner grew up together and know everything about it.
Today, auntie will act as a matchmaker and betroth Yan'er to you, so that you can take care of her in the future. What do you think? "
"Oh Mom, what are you talking about!" Zhang Shuyan covered her face and turned her head to the side, her whole posture as if she had heard something shy that she shouldn't have heard.
Mao Sandao could tell that Zhang Shuyan's appearance at this time was nothing more than trying to create an image of a reserved but not casual little woman in front of him.
People's sixth sense is indeed accurate.
Although Mao Sandao had roughly guessed it, he was still confused after Aunt Wang said it.
Zhang Shuyan liked him, and Mao Sandao had already noticed it a long time ago.
In particular, Zhang Shuyan's tone of voice when speaking to him and her attitude towards herself that was different from others were already very clear.
It's just that he has been avoiding this inevitable result.
Zhang Shuyan is not his ideal half.
To be precise, he has always regarded Zhang Shuyan as a good big brother...
To marry Zhang Shuyan, Mao Sandao believed that it would be better to let him die.
Mao Sandao was a little upset. As soon as his grandfather's funeral was finished, Aunt Wang started to make plans for her own marriage, which he couldn't accept.
"Auntie, my grandfather just passed away and was just buried today. I am deeply filial and do not want to talk about this matter."
Mao Sandao weaved many reasons in his mind, thinking that moving his grandfather out might work.
Being rejected, Zhang Shuyan couldn't believe her ears, turned her head and stared at Mao Sandao with wide eyes.
She thought that since they had known each other for so many years, Mao Sandao had no reason to reject her.
Aunt Wang seemed to have guessed that Mao Sandao would say this, and was not surprised. She continued: "Yes, this aunt understands. Then, after your filial piety period expires, we will sit down and talk about you and Yan'er. marriage."
"Auntie, there is a custom in our hometown that filial piety is the first thing to be done, and one should stay at the grave for nine years, so I have to keep filial piety for nine years. Maybe...maybe Shuyan and I are not destined to be together.
In fact, I don’t have anything good, I want money but I don’t have any money, I don’t have a decent job, and I accomplish nothing. Auntie, you think you should just forget about it. "
The "nine years of filial piety" was actually made up by Mao Sandao. His purpose in saying this was simply to make Aunt Wang and Zhang Shuyan give up.
If he really waited nine years, Zhang Shuyan would be at least thirty-four or five years old. He concluded that Aunt Wang would not let her daughter wait for so long.
As their children get older, there should be no parents in the world who are not worried about their children's marriage.
"Oh, that's right... Then your custom is quite special..." Aunt Wang seemed to have believed what Mao Sandao said and was speechless for a moment.
"Brother Sandao, it's okay. I'm willing to wait for you for nine years."
Zhang Shuyan, who had been listening to her mother's conversation with Mao Sandao, suddenly said something.
"Okay, then we'll get married in nine years." Mao Sandao smiled and stood up, "Auntie, I'll leave first."
At this time, Aunt Wang didn't know what to say next. Seeing that Mao Sandao was about to leave, she just nodded.
Just a moment after Mao Sandao left, Zhang Shuyan almost started dancing as if she had found a treasure: "Mom, did you hear that? He said to marry me! He said to marry me!"
Aunt Wang had a sad look on her face. She slowly stood up and cleared the dishes on the table: "Brother Sandao will not marry you. What he just said is all lies."
"Ah?" Aunt Wang's words shocked Zhang Shuyan. She looked stunned, "Why... why?!"
Aunt Wang put down her work and replied: "The maximum number of years to observe mourning in front of the grave is the children of close relatives. I have never heard of asking grandchildren to observe mourning. What he said about nine or ten years is not true at all.
Also, he came to us with his grandfather when he was two or three years old. How could he remember the customs of his hometown so clearly?
Anyway, we don’t have the custom of observing filial piety for nine years here.
Besides, even if it really is nine years, how old will you be in nine years? She is already in her thirties, and she has become a leftover girl.
Yan'er, think about it, what if he doesn't marry you at that time? It will be difficult to get married again. "
Aunt Wang looked out the window in the direction Mao Sandao left and sighed, then continued: "I think Sandao, the kid, said this deliberately because he expected that I wouldn't let you wait for nine years."
After all, she was someone who had been there before, and Aunt Wang had already seen through Mao Sandao's tricks, but she just didn't want to tell them.
For a person who doesn't love her daughter, Aunt Wang knows that even if she fights for it, her daughter may not be happy after marriage without feelings as the basis.
A ripe melon may not be sweet, but a twisted melon will definitely not be sweet...
"Mao Sandao, come back to me!"
As soon as her mother finished speaking, Zhang Shuyan shouted violently on the spot, kicked open the door, and strode out after her.
