Bear Diary

Monday, August 2010, 1

I did a lot of things on Saturday, for example, I went to get my hair trimmed, and carefully picked out a set of clothes that looked formal and not rigid. Although Serena kept saying that I was making a fuss, I still asked his aunt what he liked, and then bought A meet and greet.Due to the bad breakup last time, I hope this meeting can give my aunt a different impression.

Standing outside my aunt's door, I admit that my palms are sweaty. "This is really like a son-in-law's first mother-in-law?" I tried to use my sense of humor, but Serena just glanced at me who was so nervous and shook her head helplessly.

It was Brother Zhao who opened the door. He exchanged pleasantries with Serena, and then he didn’t know if it was my nervousness that really pleased me or what, but he welcomed us in with a smile all over his face.

I sat on the sofa in the living room, but I didn’t see my aunt. I asked Brother Zhao where Auntie was, and I wanted to say hello. Brother Zhao said that Auntie is cooking by herself, so we can just wait in the living room.Judging from this tone, it must be rare for Auntie to cook, which is enough to show that she attaches great importance to Serena.Serena said she was going to visit her aunt in the kitchen, leaving Brother Zhao and me behind.

In fact, I can't remember what was going on in my mind at the time, or it was just blank.Brother Zhao asked me if the air conditioner was on and I was sweating profusely.I quickly said no, the meat is more sweaty.

Brother Zhao laughed twice and said, "Serena has been living with you all this time?"

"Um, uh."

"Did he not trouble you?"

"No, no, Serena is still very sensible."

Then Brother Zhao didn't answer the conversation, just looked at me with a half-smile from time to time, which made me very uncomfortable.I talked with Serena before about the relationship between Brother Zhao and their family. Serena said that Brother Zhao (Serena is called Uncle Zhao, but he is not yet 40 years old, I really can’t say it) has been working under the auntie. Since the beginning of the company, I have been following her.Both he and his aunt regard Brother Zhao as family.

There was a news broadcast on TV, Brother Zhao was watching and talking about some opinions on the facts. I found that we had some common points of view, which made me relax a lot.

After a while, Serena came out of the kitchen, wearing a cute apron full of watermelons. He said he would help his mother cook, so let's wait.I hurriedly asked if I could help, Serena said no, just wait.

Just as the news broadcast was about to end, Serena said that the meal was ready, and called Brother Zhao and me to serve the dishes.When I went to the kitchen, I saw that my aunt was also wearing an apron, and she was still busy with her back to the door. Serena asked me to take out the prepared dishes first.The dishes are very rich, and the presentation is also very good. It seems that Auntie's cooking skills are also very good. Serena's culinary talent is hereditary.When I went to serve the dishes for the last time, Serena took off her apron and came out with me, but Auntie was still in front of the stove.I called my aunt, but she didn't look back, she just said that there was still some soup, let's go out and eat first.

Although we were sitting, I didn't dare to move the chopsticks before the aunt came.But Serena didn't have this awareness, and couldn't wait to put a piece of ribs into his mouth, and then said it tasted good, so he picked another piece for me.I said wait until Auntie came to eat, Serena said it's okay, I'll come right away, Brother Zhao also said it's okay.At this moment, Auntie came out with a pot of soup. Brother Zhao took it and put it on the table, and then helped Auntie untie her apron.

"Let's eat, we're still waiting for the child." The aunt sat down and said.

While I was eating, I looked at my aunt quietly. She was eating with a normal expression, as if this was just an ordinary dinner in a family. I don’t know if it’s ignoring or what.

Every time Serena ate something that tasted good, he asked me to taste it, and then he just gave it to me.I don't think my aunt would want to see us being so affectionate, and she couldn't accept it, so I had to remind Serena to hold her too.Serena obeyed obediently, but the aunt still accepted it with a normal expression, without any disturbance.

Then the aunt took the initiative to talk about Serena's life recently, but most of them asked me.Of course I answered seriously.When it came to Serena's work at the bar, the aunt didn't know that Serena had worked there before. It seems that this kid didn't tell the family many things.At this time, Serena just buried her head in cooking, like a child who did something wrong.I hurriedly helped to say a few words, but the aunt didn't intend to pursue it. According to her words: "Is there anything he dare not do?"

After dinner, I took the initiative to wash the dishes. My aunt told Serena and Brother Zhao to do the washing and let me sit down. She had something to say to me.What should come is finally here.

"Serena seems to be in good spirits." This was the first sentence my aunt said after I sat down.

"Ah, um."

"It means how good he is with you."

"Serena often misses home and misses you too. How happy you are when you call him to come back for dinner."

"Oh, he's happy? I didn't get a single call."

"He always wanted to call home, but he was afraid that you were still angry, so he didn't dare..."

"I have received all the text messages you sent." The aunt interrupted me, as if she was not interested in my explanation. "The main reason for calling you back today is to tell you something."

"Well, tell me, auntie."

"I've been looking for some information about...that aspect these days." Auntie looked at me, making me a little uneasy. "I want to say that it is still impossible for me to accept you like this."

Although I knew for a long time that my aunt told us to come back, I could not have accepted it, but hearing her say it so directly still made me feel very disappointed.

"But I also have some understanding of this. What else can I do? After all, I am my son." The aunt sighed softly, looking so helpless. "The biggest wish of being a mother is to hope that my son is happy and healthy, and other things..." She didn't continue, but changed the subject. "I say this to tell you that this path was chosen by him personally. I hope he will not regret it. If you want to be with him, don't do anything to hurt him."

"Auntie, I will take good care of Serena, and I will never do anything to hurt him..." Facing such a heartfelt confession from my aunt and such a great mother, I can only make such weak words.I will use actions to prove that I will not live up to this great trust.

Later, the four of us sat together watching TV, chatting, and talked about going back to my house for dinner.Serena said that my mother and grandma are very nice people, and she clings to her aunt and acts like a baby. Although the aunt is still stern, she can already clearly feel that her heart is not so cold.

Before leaving, Auntie and Brother Zhao sent us to the door together.Brother Zhao asked Serena if she would like to come back to live. Serena said it would be more convenient to live in the city for work or something. The auntie turned around and went in when she heard this. Brother Zhao hurriedly said that it would be more convenient to live in the city, so come back and have a look when you have time your mother.Serena nodded.

On the way back, Serena seemed in a good mood. He said that he didn't expect his aunt to hear that he was working in a bar and didn't scold him.I said that it might be that Auntie thinks that when you grow up, you can decide some things by yourself.Serena smirked and asked what my aunt had said to me while washing the dishes.I said my aunt told me to take good care of you.Serena disdains, saying that he is not a child.I smiled and said that my aunt has gradually changed her mind, we must do well, and prove that two men can have a harmonious relationship.Speaking of which, from Xiaowei's smirk, I knew he was thinking about evil things again...

Sometimes it's a blessing to have a nerve as big as his.I feel like I have a heavy responsibility again...
