Perfect Life

Two meat and two vegetarian dishes, plus a bowl of steamed meatballs.

Mother and daughter each have a small bowl of rice.

Wang Jinglu's mother is named Tao Huijun. She is forty-six this year, but she doesn't seem to be forty years old. Although she is not as beautiful as her two daughters, in middle age, she still looks delicate and slightly stunning. A person with gentle and peaceful personality, not much talk, and good cooking skills.

In contrast, Wang Jingxue's temperament is somewhat strong, and Wang Jinglu is more like her.

Even the mother and daughter's eating movements are almost cultivated by a set of procedures, small bites, small bites, chewing slowly... Most of the bowl of steamed meatballs entered Wang Jinglu's stomach, but her lips were not. Always clean and not greasy at all.

During the meal, the mother and daughter did not speak.

After eating, Tao Huijun gave each of them a bowl of soup, but she just took a sip from the bowl, and then just smiled and watched her daughter drink the soup.

"There are still three or four weeks before the final exam, right? Start reviewing?" she asked.

"Yeah." Wang Jinglu nodded.

Tao Huijun just smiled, stopped talking, and drank two spoons of soup with a spoon.

"I've eaten enough!" Wang Jinglu reached out and patted her belly like a child, and complained with a sweet smile, "Mom, don't give me steamed meatballs in the future, every time I can't control myself, I will eat so much, and in the future I'll get fat!"

Tao Huijun smiled and said, "You won't be fat. You and your sister are like mothers. Look, mothers are not fat."

Wang Jinglu shook her head in disbelief, "Last time my sister came back, she said that I was about to become a pig."

Tao Huijun smiled, paused, and said, "Xiao Lu, your dad came back this morning."

Wang Jinglu suddenly became nervous when she heard the words, "is it because she... what else is going on?"

Tao Huijun shook her head with a smile, stretched out her hand to hold her daughter's hand across the table, and said, "Your dad mainly told me something about you."

This time, Wang Jinglu's heart suddenly froze.

Sure enough, Tao Huijun put away her smile and said slowly: "Mom knows that you must have your own ideas, so mom and dad have agreed with you, we only provide some references and some choices, we do not force you to disagree. How about it, okay?"

Wang Jinglu looked at her timidly.

Tao Huijun sighed, took back his hand, and asked, "What do you think... that Zhao Yumin?"

Sure enough!

Wang Jinglu hesitated for a moment and said, "Mom, you really won't force me?"

Tao Huijun suddenly laughed, "What era is this? Even when your mother and your father got married, they were already in free love, not to mention now? How could your mother force you?"

"But..." Wang Jinglu hesitated.

Tao Huijun said, "I introduced Zhao Yumin to you and helped you match. Mom agreed."

Wang Jinglu looked at her in surprise, "How could it be?...Why?"

She always thought it was her father's idea. She knew that her mother loved her very much and was willing to spoil her.

Tao Huijun had a smile at the corner of her eyes, but she said seriously, "If you put aside your prejudice, tell your mother, how is that young man?"

Now Wang Jinglu was speechless.

How is Zhao Yumin?

Without in-depth contact, of course she has no way to judge how a person is. But from what she has seen so far, this person is handsome, unrestrained, handsome, gentle, considerate, with an obvious British gentleman style, and excellent temperament. As a graduate of Trinity College, Cambridge University, it is obvious that Learning is not far behind, and... his family should be quite rich.

From the point of view of choosing a son-in-law, he has almost no obvious shortcomings that can make people picky. Some of them are just shining points one after another, which is enough to make most girls in this world dazzled.

Wang Jinglu hesitated, lowered his head, and pouted.

Tao Huijun chuckled, "Is there nothing to say?"

After a pause, she said: "So, after he came to our house with your dad that day, I got to know about it through various relationships and agreed with your dad's suggestion. I think he is very suitable for you. "

Wang Jinglu frowned and looked up at her.

Tao Huijun continued: "Mom doesn't want to tell you that love and marriage are not the same thing. Even if it is not, I don't think my daughter has no right to fight for love. In fact, my mother thinks that only a marriage with love can be truly happy. But... if you don't even want to touch him, how can you be sure that you won't like him?"

"Maybe, my mother just said maybe, when you really start to get in touch with that young man, you will soon discover that he has all kinds of shortcomings and deficiencies that you cannot accept. At that time, you say that you don't like it. Of course he, mother, supports you 100%! Right?"

"But what if when you approached him, he was actually the kind you liked? If you really started to like him, fell in love with him... Wouldn't it be better? Love in this world has never been Only childhood sweethearts or love at first sight, isn't it?"

"So, trust your mother's vision, get in touch with him and get to know him, okay?"

Wang Jinglu pursed her lips and did not speak.

In fact, she had nothing to say.

Although she didn't want to have any contact with that person, she had to admit in her heart that what her mother said was not unreasonable.

only…

Tao Huijun began to drink the soup in small sips, and then Wang Jinglu also picked up the spoon and began to drink the soup in small sips.

In the end, Wang Jinglu finished drinking first. Although her mouth was clean, she picked up a napkin to wipe her mouth, then stood up and said, "Mom, I'm full, so I'll go back to my room first."

Tao Huijun nodded, but suddenly stopped her: "Xiaolu..."

Wang Jinglu stood down and looked back at her.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "You already have someone you like, right?"

Wang Jinglu raised her head, lowered her head again, and said nothing.

Tao Huijun asked again, "It's Xiao Qian from the opposite door, right?"

Wang Jinglu had a surprised look on his face, but he still lowered his head and didn't speak.

So, Tao Huijun thought about it, and seemed to be talking to himself: "In the past two years, your father's mind has been on that woman, and your sister's mind has been on music. They may not have noticed, but, Mom is not them. Mom knows you've started to like going upstairs after dinner for a while in the last two years...just with him?"

Wang Jinglu hesitated for a moment, then nodded silently.

Tao Huijun also nodded, "Well, Mom doesn't mean to break up you. Maybe your dad and your sister won't agree, but mom won't. Mom just wants to tell you that you are... too young now. Young, just It means that the world you have seen is still too small, just like a little frog, it has not had time to jump out of the well and see the bigger world. Therefore, don't close the door of your heart too early, Give the other good boys in this world a chance, okay?"

Wang Jinglu kept her head down and said nothing.

After Tao Huijun finished speaking, she finally raised her head, the mother and daughter looked at each other for a moment, then she lowered her head again, turned around and was about to go back to her room. He took a step, but stopped. She turned around to look at her mother, suddenly summoned up her courage, and asked, "Mom, you also think that Li Qian and I are not suitable, do you?"

Tao Huijun was stunned when she heard the words, as if she was surprised by her daughter's sudden courage. But soon, she smiled and asked gently, "Do you want to listen to the truth?"

Wang Jinglu nodded affirmatively.

Tao Huijun thought for a while, put away the smile on her face, nodded, and said, "He doesn't deserve you."

After a pause, he said, "It's not worthy of it now, and it's not worthy of it in the future!"

When Wang Jinglu heard this, she couldn't help but get angry, and couldn't help but ask, "Why? Where is it not worthy?"

Tao Huijun suddenly laughed again, as if she liked watching her daughter get angry. She looked at her daughter playfully and said, "So, do you want to tell your mother that he is handsome?"

Wang Jinglu was surprised, but was speechless.

Of course, this is not all of her Li Qian, but at least at the moment, what can the person she likes in her heart be used to show off or compare with others?

Tao Huijun went on to say: "Mom knows that he is good-looking, and his mother is very beautiful, especially when we first moved in, when my mother saw her for the first time, you were just over a year old at that time, and my mother held you, She hugged Li Qian. We met in the corridor and said hello. When I came back, I would tell your father, we meet Mr. Li's wife, she is so beautiful! Mom thinks she can't compare to her, um, if it's purely about looks, mom Admit it, Li Qian and you are a very good match. But...is it useful?"

Wang Jinglu lowered her head and still did not speak.

She wanted to say that Li Qian is not only good-looking, he has many advantages. She even wanted to talk about Li Qian's improvement of a full 100% in just one month. However, she I know in my heart that those... are useless.

Sure enough, Tao Huijun went on to say: "There is a truth in this world that everyone has to admit, that good-looking people do have advantages, and they can always get more opportunities than others, including some very good ones. Opportunity, but, that's all."

"Now, we only talk about now. If you don't go to Beijing and don't go to the film school, then my mother thinks that you can be admitted to any university in the country. With your smarts, of course, and beauty, after graduation, you will There is a very good future. So, what about him? Can he do it?… And if you go to Beijing and go to the film school, my mother is not sure that you will be admitted, but my mother knows that you have this talent , you, and your sister, in the future, you will all achieve certain achievements in your respective industries. So, what about him?"

Tao Huijun spread her hands, "So, can you tell your mother now that you and him are a good match?"

Wang Jinglu raised his head.

"But, I like him!" she said firmly.

Tao Huijun was a little surprised. Obviously, she didn't expect her daughter to answer her directly.

And, this is an answer enough to overturn some.

So, she was silent for a moment, and then she said: "Yes. You can like him! But, at least... Until you graduate from college, don't really give yourself to him, give yourself the opportunity to choose other people, and give others to others A chance to show yourself, okay? If in the future, you have graduated from college, started working, and started your own business, and you still firmly believe that you still like him, then mother will bless you, okay? "

Wang Jinglu was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slowly.

Then, she raised her head and looked at her mother.

"I like him! I won't change!" she said.

Tao Huijun smiled and said, "If the future is really like this, stubbornness will not be a blessing. However, believe me, there are too many boys in this world who are both handsome and capable of giving you better love and a better life. When you go out, when you look at, observe, and feel with your heart, you will understand that it is not a lie to say that you can’t see Mount Tai with a single leaf.”

Wang Jinglu pursed her lips, lowered her head, turned her head and walked towards her room.

In the dining room, looking at her daughter's stubborn back, Tao Huijun sighed slowly until the door was gently closed.

"I really hope I'm wrong." She murmured, "I really hope the Li family boy can impress me and your father a little more."

……

"Hello, Xiaolu? Is there something wrong?"

"Sister, what should I do?"

"…"

"My father arranged a blind date for me. My mother told me just now, and she agreed."

"In the afternoon, Mom called me and told me."

"Then what should I do?"

"Don't like him?"

"do not like."

"You don't even want to touch the connection?"

"...I don't want to."

"Mom said, that person is not bad."

"I know. But..."

"Worried? You want to control your own destiny and don't want anyone to call the shots for you, even if that person is your mother?"

"Um."

"Then come to Suntian! Think about what I said to you."

"Um."

"By the way, the boy at the opposite door has been playing with your ideas all the time. Be careful. That boy has a lot of tricks since he was a child. Don't let him fool him. Remember, the most unreliable things in this world are men's rhetoric. , boys too."

"Uh…"

"Uh what? That's it. When you arrive in Shuntian, your parents won't care. UU reading www.uukanshu.com That's right, as for what Min... I suggest you go to meet and chat, After all, even my mother thinks he's good, so there must be something special about him. If you still don't like him after seeing him, then just don't deal with him. Xiaolu... Xiaolu?"

"Well, I'm listening."

"Well, that's it, I've failed. When your final exam is over, I'll go back and pick you up."

"OK Bye Bye."

"bye."

The phone hung up, and Wang Jinglu feebly threw herself onto the bed.

"They don't like you, what should I do?" she muttered to herself.

Raising her hand and raising her phone, she clicked on "Short Messages" and clicked on the word "Li Qian" that had accumulated hundreds of text messages. After thinking about it, she typed in the word "Rooftop". Hanging his finger on the send button, he hesitated for a long time, but then deleted both words, threw away the phone in distress, and covered his face.

After a while, she let go of her hand, turned over and sat up, took the Walkman from the desk, found Zhou Ai's "The Dreamer" on the small bookshelf on the desk, put it in, and pressed the play button.

"…

The wind is not the wind, the cloud is not the cloud,

Is it you that I love?

It doesn't matter,

Anyway, they were just passing by.

Flowers are not flowers, mud is not mud,

You who dance in the desert,

At first glance,

I need a little more luck. "
