To middle age

"Mum Liu, what are you talking about?" Zhou Ruoyun said hurriedly.

"I just said casually, that lady, I'm going to prepare the food first." Liu Ma smiled awkwardly, and then walked towards the kitchen.

"Xiao Chen, you are interested." Zhou Ruoyun's mother smiled, took out the necklace and looked at it.

"Mom, I'll put it on for you." Zhou Ruoyun said thoughtfully.

Soon, Zhou Ruoyun helped her wear the necklace around her neck, obviously Zhou Ruoyun's mother was very satisfied with this necklace.

I was a little embarrassed in my heart. Actually, Mother Liu guessed it right. I really didn't buy it. Zhou Ruoyun bought it in advance and asked me to give it away. After all, I don't know what Zhou Ruoyun's mother likes.

"Xiao Chen, don't stand up, sit down and talk." Zhou Ruoyun's mother said hurriedly.

"Good auntie." I nodded and agreed.

Soon, we sat down on the sofa, Zhou Ruoyun sat with her mother, and I sat aside.

"Xiao Chen, I heard Ruoyun say that you are from the Xuancheng countryside, and your parents are in the countryside, right?" Zhou Ruoyun and her mother looked at me with a light smile.

"Yes, Auntie, I'm from a rural village. My parents are in the village. My dad doesn't do much work. He has inconvenience in his legs and feet. My mom will go to the ground to do some work." I explained.

"Hmm, are you a sales executive? What does your company do?" Zhou Ruoyun's mother continued.

"Our company makes clothing." I continued.

"I know about you and Ruoyun. No one likes this girl or knows what's going on, so she falls in love with you. Of course, you can save people regardless of your life, or don't we Ruoyun? Red envelopes, auntie likes this very much." Zhou Ruoyun and her mother said slowly, she was very easygoing and kept smiling all the time.

"Auntie, I will be nice to Ruoyun." I said hurriedly.

"Mom, Chen Nan originally thought I lived in Jinfengyuan opposite, and was afraid that our house was too small, so I planned to buy a house in the future and let us live in a big house." Zhou Ruoyun smiled.

"Yeah, I know, you go to work every morning, and you just wait at the gate of Jinfengyuan, and wait there every day." Zhou Ruoyun's mother touched Zhou Ruoyun's head with a smile and said.

"Xiao Chen, if you were to choose your career and family, how would you choose?" Zhou Ruoyun's mother asked suddenly.

As soon as I said this, I was a little surprised.

You know that this kind of question is not easy to answer. If you choose your career, don't you care about your family?But when it comes to choosing a family, based on the conditions of Zhou Ruoyun's family, should I eat soft rice?In other words, what should I strive for with such good conditions?

But if you don’t say it, it’s even more inappropriate!

Zhou Ruoyun's family is in good condition, but this is Zhou Ruoyun's family, not mine. Many things must be considered comprehensively.

"Auntie, I think a stable career and family harmony are very important." I said.

"Can you talk about it?" Zhou Ruoyun's mother looked at me with interest.

"For example, I now go to work at nine in the morning and leave work at six in the afternoon. I can rest on weekends. This is good. Not only can I be with my family every day, but I can also hang out on weekends. It is companionship. As for career advancement or earning money, I think that as long as the money is enough, the family is happy, healthy, and staying together for a lifetime. This is the most important thing.” I thought about it and said.

"Yeah." Zhou Ruoyun's mother nodded and gave me an approving look.

"Auntie, Ruoyun and I are serious about this relationship and hope we can be together. I was really worried when I learned that your family has such good conditions." I smiled awkwardly.

"What are you worried about? My daughter is happy with you. I would rather drive the car you sent than Ferrari." Zhou Ruoyun's mother smiled.

"Mom!" Zhou Ruoyun's cheeks were slightly red.

"We Ruoyun doesn’t like publicity. I told her dad that money can’t buy a lot of happiness, especially when it comes to relationships. When you have everything you can buy, you will feel that life loses its color, and struggle loses meaning. "Zhou Ruoyun’s mother was halfway through, and she paused: "Like her dad, who travels all over the country throughout the year. Our family eats a few reunion dinners. It is very difficult for the whole family to travel together. The money is earned. It’s here, but when I think about it, how much time do I spend with my family?"

"If there is gain, there must be loss. If you get the same, you will definitely lose the same. In fact, it is good to be ordinary!" Zhou Ruoyun's mother continued.

"Yeah." I nodded, expressing understanding.

"My dad and I also came from the countryside before, and we have come here because of the ups and downs. Ruoyun went to study abroad. It was because her dad was very busy and didn’t have time to take care of the family. I had to take care of the old lady and quit my job for so many years. , I spent a long time with the old lady and Liu Ma." Zhou Ruoyun said her mother.

"Mom, I'm not with you every day now." Zhou Ruoyun said hurriedly.

"This is not always going to be married." Zhou Ruoyun's mother smiled, and then she looked at me: "Xiao Chen, if Ruoyun's father let you join my family in the future, what do you think?"

"Incoming?" I was a little surprised.

"I'm just asking, after all, our old Zhou's ideas are more important." Zhou Ruoyun's mother said.

Isn't this the son-in-law coming to the house?

If this is the case, then I will live in this big family. If the atmosphere at home is good, I don’t need to be familiar with it, but I feel that this makes me feel like I am under the fence. At least I cannot accept it.

What I hope is that Zhou Ruoyun and I will have our own wedding room, which can be closer to Zhou Ruoyun’s mother’s house, so that the two families can move around easily, can take care of each other, have their own space, instead of getting married. Two and one family, just stay like this Together.

"Auntie, I think so. Ruoyun and I can buy a wedding house and live closer, so that our two families can move around more. If my parents are willing, we can take it over. If Auntie, you and grandma plan to stay for a while Time can also come, but it is not the kind of enthusiasm." I explained.

"This is also very good. If you buy a house closer, it will be convenient for us to move around. Once you are in your family, living with us is actually inconvenient for you. Young people always want to have their own space. , You can live in the world of two people, the aunt is here, and the aunt understands." Zhou Ruoyun and her mother said understandingly.

"There is no reason for Chen Nan to join the family. Now, many of them don't live on both sides. It's good. As long as the two families are close, they can live on both sides." Zhou Ruoyun said hurriedly.

"Ouch, miss, you are the only seedling of the master, the Zhou family's surname will be passed down, the master has said before." Liu Ma brought the dishes to the table, as if she heard us chatting, she hurried over and said.

"Then we can have a few more children, either Zhou or Chen." Zhou Ruoyun smiled.

"That's not good, the children's surnames will be quarreling when they grow up, and the grandfather's family will have a lot of business. It's not good to be arguing about dividing the family property." Liu Ma continued.

Liu Ma's words made my brows frowned. I was very surprised that a babysitter in this neighborhood could interject indiscriminately, and she also liked to force others to instill her own opinions, as if she was the owner of this house.

"Mother Liu, is the meal ready?" Zhou Ruoyun's mother's face was a little unsightly.
