Cheng Jiemin sat calmly opposite Gu Xixi and his daughter, thinking about a passage from his notebook in his mind: Being a person must strive to be a flower, which is almost the highest level of dealing with people. Let those who oppose you understand you, let those who understand you support you, let those who support you be loyal to you, let those who support you defend you. Allow someone not to like you, but not to let him hate you. If he wants to hate you, he must also make him afraid of you. Of course, these all need to be supported by your wisdom and personal character.

Cheng Jiemin repeatedly pondered this passage and thought about countermeasures to deal with Gu Xixi's mother.

"The countryside is good, the air is very fresh." Zuo Xinlan picked up the water cup and took a sip of her gracefully, and said lightly.

As a smart girl, how could Gu Xixi not understand her mother's reaction? She can tell from her mother every move that her mother doesn't like Cheng Jiemin. She is telling the man she loves deeply in this gentle and arrogant way: Your family is not good, don't think about the sparrow turning into a phoenix anymore!

"Mom, Jiemin works in the Water Resources Department. This morning, he made a statement on behalf of the agricultural support cadres!"

Zuo Xinlan nodded. Although she had a prejudice against the boy, she had to admit that the young man looked quite energetic. I'm afraid that there was no reason for her daughter to fall in love with him. But even so, she could not tolerate her daughter falling into a fire pit for the sake of so-called love!

"Xiao Cheng, I remember when I went to the countryside, the most impressive thing in the countryside was oat buns and steamed bacon."

"Are you steamed buns with oatmeal?" Gu Xixi asked curiously.

Zuo Xinlan glanced at her beloved daughter with complicated eyes and said bluntly: "You have never been to the countryside, how could you know what the truth looks like!"

"Oats are a plant grown on hillsides. The more barren and thin the land is, the better the oats grown. There is no need to water during the planting process. In the words of local people, it depends on the harvest. Of course, there is no water in the village. When harvesting, the people rub and thresh with their hands, because the wheat marbles grow very fine fluff, which will make them itchy, red and swollen when they are touched, which is very uncomfortable. I am reluctant to eat them, but during festivals, it comes in great use."

"During the Chinese New Year, the production team will kill a pig in the New Year. A few of us educated youth volunteered to pick bamboo in the bamboo forest, cut cypress branches, wormwood, and come back to smoke bacon with the villagers. It was such a rare delicacy. After returning to the city, I have never eaten such delicious food again!"

Zuo Xinlan's story is told calmly and has a good atmosphere. However, Cheng Jiemin is a rough and detailed person. He could feel that Zuo Xinlan's storytelling has a unique meaning.

However, Zuo Xinlan did not express this profound meaning directly, but her slightly raised lips and the faint smile between her eyebrows all told him that she was looking down at his poverty.

Cheng Jiemin felt angry, but reason reminded him not to be irritable! The twenty years of life insights in the diary have played a huge role in curbing. He tried hard to keep a smile and said with neither humility nor arrogant words: "When my aunt went to the countryside, the countryside was indeed very poor. But in recent years, as national policies have continued to tilt towards the countryside, the situation in the countryside has become better and better!"

Zuo Xinlan smiled without objection. It was a way of doing things that Zuo Xinlan admired the most. Today she came to see Cheng Jiemin, which was definitely not a coincidence, but a decision made after careful consideration. She had to do this. She could not tolerate her spoiled daughter since childhood going to that distant place.

What else can a country boy who has just graduated besides having a passion and overestimating his abilities?

Zuo Xinlan saw countless people. From the moment she saw Cheng Jiemin, she judged that this young man might have some talent. He probably got admitted to university in the countryside. After being baptized by urban life, the deep inferiority deep in his heart had been covered up by the disdain and pride of talent.

She wanted to anger him and let him automatically withdraw as if he hit his weakness. As long as she masters this skill of controlling people, I am afraid that this young man who is ignorant of the world will take the initiative to end the relationship.

However, what made her a little dissatisfied was that from the moment, the young man was a little difficult to deal with. This made Zuo Xinlan even more unhappy, which fully demonstrated that he had ulterior motives. How could such a person get close to his pure and innocent daughter?

"Now the country is paying more and more attention to rural areas, and I believe that rural areas will get better and better." Zuo Xinlan said affectionately: "I still have deep feelings for rural areas. The life that goes to the countryside is a memory that I will never erase in my life."

"At that time, there were ten people in our educated youth site, and the longest stayed there was five years. Several educated youths got married in the countryside."

Facing Zuo Xinlan, Cheng Jiemin felt even more uncomfortable than facing a peerless master. He really felt like he was trapped in beasts and still fighting. If Zuo Xinlan shouted loudly that you were not suitable as soon as he came up, Cheng Jiemin would not be so uncomfortable, but she was not, she was telling stories in a beautiful way.

Cheng Jiemin tightened his mind and acted like he listened carefully, but he felt a little nervous.

"When the educated youth returned to the city, did you know how many of them were still with their husbands and wives in the village?" Zuo Xinlan said this and pointed to Xiaolongbao and said to Cheng Jiemin: "Xiao Cheng, this VIP building claims to be the same as the buns sold, but in fact, the ones used in this VIP room are different from those in the hall. Please try it more."

When Cheng Jiemin faced Zuo Xinlan, who seemed enthusiastic but had cold in his enthusiasm, nodded politely, and put one into the small plate for Zuo Xinlan and Gu Xixi, and then ate one himself.

"Do not choke when you drink a sip of water!" Gu Xixi saw Cheng Jiemin eating in one bite, and held Cheng Jiemin's cup tenderly for him to drink water.

Seeing this, Zuo Xinlan glared at her daughter fiercely. The feeling of superiority that had just risen disappeared instantly.

This damn girl! Look at you now, you will suffer from your tenderness and love in the future!

"Hey, when we returned to the city, all the educated youth who had started their families had completed divorce procedures. It doesn't matter, it's just a hardship for the children!" Zuo Xinlan sighed and said sadly: "We didn't understand at that time, but when we were old, we figured it out that love is beautiful, but marriage is all-round. Different living habits and social scopes, after the passion faded, there were many insurmountable gaps in front of the two!"

When Zuo Xinlan said this, her eyes fell on Cheng Jiemin: "Xiao Cheng, when I saw you at first, I felt that you were a talented and responsible child. Do you understand what I mean?"

Cheng Jiemin certainly understood what Zuo Xinlan meant. Zuo Xinlan was telling him in this implicit way that he could not give Gu Xixi happiness. His background, his habits, and everything about him were not worthy of Gu Xixi.

After quickly organizing the language, Cheng Jiemin was about to refute, but Gu Xixi, who was standing beside him, was already anxious: "Mom, you are still a leader. Why can't the leader look at the problem with the eyes of keeping pace with the times? The main reason why those uncles and aunts didn't insist was that there were cultural differences between them!"

"Jiemin, do you think I hit the nail on the head?" Gu Xixi looked at Cheng Jiemin in a coquettish manner and said mischievously.

Cheng Jiemin nodded: "Well, what Xixi said is not without reason."

Seeing this, Zuo Xinlan couldn't help but lose her temper, but she took a deep breath, tried to calm her emotions, and said softly: "Xiao Cheng, as soon as you come to contact you, my aunt will know that you understand right and wrong and understand the truth. If you have any difficulties in the future, come to me. I am willing to do my best to help you to the greatest extent. However, you also do your aunt a favor. Xixi is still very simple and childish, and she is prone to judging things. If you like it, no, no, if you cherish the friendship between you, you should consider it for her, let go of the present, look at the long-term, and let Xixi live a happy life, right?"

Before Cheng Jiemin was about to speak, he was interrupted by Zuo Xinlan: "I know you want to say you can, you can do it completely, but if you listen to me and finish your words, I will have only one child in my family. But there is still a big family in our big family, and Xixi is ranked fifth."

"There are three cousins ​​on Xixi, one cousin. All four of them are married. Xixi's eldest sister-in-law is Mayor Zou's daughter; the second sister-in-law is the daughter of Deputy Director Chen of the Finance Department; the third brother is the son-in-law of Secretary-General Li of the Provincial Party Committee; Xixi's cousin is married to Minister He's son of Propaganda Department. There are some things that you may not be able to think about now, but in our family, some things are something that Xixi's father and I cannot accept, I ask you to understand..."

Before Zuo Xinlan finished speaking, Gu Xixi interrupted anxiously: "Mom, what are you talking about here..."

Zuo Xinlan's words can be said to be every word that kills the heart, and every sentence is like a knife. Although she said it very tactfully, there is an obvious meaning: Cheng Jiemin, you cannot overestimate yourself, Xixi is not something you can peek at!

You, a poor boy from the countryside, want to enter the Gu family's door. Isn't this a delusion?

Although Cheng Jiemin got the diary recorded in his previous life, which made him much more mature than ordinary people, at this moment, he still felt a blazing flame in his heart.

"Xixi, I just want to tell Xiao Cheng about the actual situation at home." Zuo Xinlan patted her daughter's head and turned her eyes to Cheng Jiemin: "Xiao Cheng, I believe you will understand my concerns."

"Auntie, I understand your mood, but I want to tell you a fact that Xixi and I truly love each other."

Zuo Xinlan seemed to smile with relief: "Yes, Xiao Cheng, you are right. It is because I know this that I firmly believe that you will not be so self-centered for Xixi and let Xixi find the happiness that truly belongs to her."
