I accidentally saw a sentence, marriage is a gamble, and parents always want their children to get the biggest bet.
After careful chewing, I suddenly understood why my uncle and aunt beat Yuanyang and strongly opposed my sister's marriage.
My sister has a boyfriend, Helan, who dated for three years in college. I don't know how they got together, but I witnessed a pair of lovers in love waving away with tears, which was embarrassing.
That year, when I was in the second grade, my sister took Helan to our house for dinner for the first time.
Helan is a tall and handsome sunny young man, thin but not thin, articulate, and soon got acquainted with us.
When I came out of the kitchen with fruit, they sat on the sofa chatting, their fingers clasped tightly. I don't know what Helan suddenly said funny, but my sister laughed and cried.
At that time, I was still in adolescence, especially envious that my sister could be with the person I like aboveboard. I would blush to my ears just by looking at the boy I like.
Later that year, during the Spring Festival, we went to my uncle's house to pay a New Year call, only to know that my sister and parents were angry and followed Helan back to their hometown.
When I mentioned my sister, my uncle hated iron and sighed, and my aunt cried with love.
My sister is the only child in the family and was hurt by her parents since she was a child. Although her education and looks are not excellent, it is not difficult to marry a rich boy with her father who is a senior official in the city, her personal charm and a good job.
But my aunt never imagined that my sister was so stubborn that she had to live with a poor boy who was still doing odd jobs three years after graduation.
Helan's family is really poor He lives in the countryside of a poor county in Guangdong. His sister followed him by bus, but it took a bumpy day and a night to get to his hometown in Helan. My sister always gets carsick and throws up in the car. When she got off the bus, her leg almost fell.
But along the way, she never complained.
Later, my cousin told me that it was the first time that she threw up in the car, and it was so painful that she wanted to hit the wall, but it was also the first time that she was looking forward to it. She felt the edge of their love and saw the end of it.
Helan is the oldest in the family, and the whole family has produced such a college student, counting on Helan to get ahead and win face. This time, I brought back a smart girlfriend with a little background at home, and the whole village came to watch the excitement.
Everyone praised Helan's luck and teased him to get married quickly, so that he could struggle less for a few years.
Helan listened to one leng, slightly corners of the mouth raise a bitter.
As if seeing the embarrassment of Helan, my sister quickly changed the subject to ease the atmosphere.
Before leaving, my sister secretly gave Helan's mother 500 yuan to take good care of herself. The whole family and even the whole village praised her sister.

After the third day, Helan and her sister returned to Guangzhou.
Helan's parents are easy to get along with, but my sister's parents are difficult to get along with.
My uncle was still talking and laughing with the guests, but when I saw my sister coming with Helan, my whole face was pulled down.
After the guest left, he asked sharply, "Do you still know to come back? Why not stay there all your life? "
My sister knew her mistake, so she had to smile and make up for it. When Helan first met his sister's father, he was so frightened that he stood at the door, afraid to come in, and his body trembled slightly.
Later, my sister was called back to her room, leaving Helan alone to talk to her uncle.
After talking for nearly a century, no one knew what to say, but when Helan left, his face turned pale and ugly.
When his sister rushed out to hold his hand, he broke free gently, hesitated and left without looking back.
Holding his hand hanging in the air, my sister froze in place.
I received a short message from Helan at night: Your father is right. Now I really can't afford to marry you. Let's break up.
"Break up."
My sister has been staring at the mobile phone, like a boat stranded on the beach, and hot tears fall on the screen.
From that day on, my sister started a cold war with her parents and threatened to go on a hunger strike.
At first, the two sides were deadlocked and no one gave in. Until my sister fainted from hunger, she was sent to the hospital for a nutrition injection, and when she saw her stubborn daughter still in bed, my uncle reluctantly agreed.
On the day I went to the hospital to visit her, my sister was pale and her lips were chapped, but there was still a triumphant smile on her lips.
As soon as she was discharged from the hospital, my sister couldn't wait to find Helan, but Helan stubbornly refused to see her, and even sent her everything her sister sent back. Looking at the used couple cups, hand-woven towels and written cards, I cried again.
What was returned with the goods was their feelings for many years. They survived the graduation season, but they couldn't survive the parents.

In the summer of 20 13, my sister got married.
Marriage object is still not Gao Fushuai, is still a poor boy.
Like Helan, there is no house, no car and no savings. An old man and a younger brother and sister, even the money for the wedding banquet is collected by relatives.
But the only thing he is better than Helan is that he dares to challenge his uncle.
At that time, my uncle once told my brother-in-law the same thing as Helan, "A man with nothing has any qualification to say that he wants to marry my daughter."
Hearing this, Helan remembered that his salary for three years after graduation was less than 3 thousand, and his self-esteem was humiliated. He bowed his head in shame and chose to break up.
But when my brother-in-law heard this, he forced a word out of his mouth: "I am poor now, but I will not be poor all my life." For Linlin's sake, I will take your son-in-law's seat. "
This domineering conversation was later teased by all of us for a long time.
My brother-in-law also scratched his head in particular embarrassment: "I didn't think so much at that time. Anyway, I only know that we can't be apart. "
At that moment, I saw my sister snuggling happily in her brother-in-law's arms, laughing like a flower.
Brother-in-law's family is poor and his education is not high. When he first entered the society, he only worked as a salesman with a low basic salary. He travels between cities every day, selling products and pulling orders. The original white skin was tanned red and black, and there was an obvious dividing line around the neck.
My sister was opposed by her family when she was with him. Relatives don't know, and there is never a shortage of attractive young talents, the second generation of officials and the second generation of rich, but she doesn't like any of them, and she likes this boy who runs sales.
Only one day, my uncle, who had always strongly opposed my sister's association with the poor, suddenly acquiesced in their marriage.
On the day of the proposal, things suddenly happened. No flowers, rings and candlelight dinners. There is only one particularly simple promise: "Linlin, I want to take good care of you all my life. If someone else has it, I will try my best to fight for it for you. It may take three to five years, but I will never give up. "
In a few words, I lost my mind in his bright eyes, and my sister clearly understood that this was the other half of her life together.
Until marriage, my brother-in-law still failed to counterattack successfully, and he was still a small supervisor, with no house, no car and no deposit, only a heart that loved his sister.
On the wedding day, we asked my uncle why he agreed to their marriage again.
My uncle smiled, his face, which has always been rigorous, became gentle and vivid, his eyes bent into a crescent, and his mouth rose.
Then he told us a story.
On a cold morning, a man stamped his feet in the street downstairs of his house, angrily, turning over a thin book in his hand, and looking up at the upstairs from time to time, his face was beaming. Next to me is a used motorcycle. Although it is very old, it is brand new after being washed by the rain last night.
Since then, my uncle has deliberately got up early and always found a tall and straight figure at the corner, holding a book and shivering in the cold wind. Seeing my beloved girl coming, my figure became soft and warm.
A young poor boy can give a girl the greatest wealth, but just work hard for her and tell her that we still have a future.
Now, they have their own house and car, and two lovely babies. A family of four often drives around, laughing and laughing all over the city.
During the Spring Festival, my sister and I talked about some things in college, and she felt a little sorry.
I know, in her heart, there is still a person hiding. Although that man was poor, he accompanied her through the best years and made my sister willing to be enemies with the whole world for him.
It still hurts to think of it now, but I still choose to remember it.
Even today, I don't know where he is or what he is doing, so it doesn't matter.
The meeting of youth is unpredictable.
Later, we were far apart.
In the days to come, bless each other and draw a happy ending.
