Chapter Eighty-Three: Superfluous Explanations
It was already dark, and the bright street lights were all turned on. The streets are still busy with pedestrians and traffic.
Chen Long had no intention of shopping, and he didn't want to go anywhere, so he walked straight back.
As soon as I walked back, I heard the mobile phone in my pocket ring a few times. So I found out and saw that it was a text message. Open it up and take a look:
Long Chen, you're a cold-blooded animal!
The text message was sent by Lu Tingting.
Chen Long looked at it, shook his head lightly, and smiled bitterly...... Just as I was about to put my phone back in my pocket, another text message came:
Long Chen, you're not a man!
Chen Long looked at the text message and pondered for a while, clicked on the text message to reply, and wrote a sentence:
Yes, I'm not a man, I'm cold-blooded. Lu Tingting, I'm sorry......
When he finished writing, he was about to click send, but he stopped immediately.
Looking at the line of text on his phone, he hesitated for half a minute, and then remembered Old Man Shen's advice to him. So he decisively deleted all the words, shook his head lightly, and said to himself: "Forget it, women are trouble, or don't provoke her......"
So he clutched his phone in his hand and walked back briskly.
When I walked back to the vicinity of my house, I saw a woman standing in front of the door of the house. He fixed his eyes and saw that it was the fifth sister!
Chen Long hurriedly walked up and asked her from a distance: "Fifth sister, why did you come to me so late?
When she saw her brother come back and asked her, she replied, "Yes, I was asked to work overtime after work just now, and now I have to leave work." I just got to you, and I thought you weren't on the night shift. I was about to call you, and you came back......"
"I'm on the day shift today, and I just had dinner and went out for a walk. Did you come to me for something?"
"It's nothing, just I'm so hungry and want to see what you have to eat here. I also want to see if your injuries are healed. ”
"My injuries are all healed. ”
Long Chen replied, already opening the door, and said, "Then come in, there is still some food left, you can make do with it." After eating, go back to school. ”
"Hmm. The fifth sister agreed, and followed into the house.
Chen Long took out the leftover food he had just eaten, reheated it in a pot, and put it on the table for the fifth sister to eat.
The fifth sister washed her hands and sat down, looked at the still very rich meal, and asked a little puzzled: "Brother, why did you cook so many meals by yourself?" Are these really the leftovers you eat, or have you not eaten yet?"
"I said I've already eaten it, so don't ask. Hurry up and go back to school after eating. You haven't really graduated yet, do you still have classes or homework in the evening?"
Chen Long didn't want to tell her the truth, and he didn't want to delay her studies and affect her graduation. In his eyes, his sister is just a child, and he doesn't want her to be involved in adult affairs.
The fifth sister felt that her brother was not in a very good mood, so she didn't dare to ask him more, so she quickly picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate it in a big gulp......
Chen Long then packed up the belongings in the house again.
Soon, the hungry fifth sister cleaned up all the leftover meals!
Then immediately clean all the dishes, chopsticks, pots and dishes neatly. Then he said to his brother, who was still cleaning up:
"Brother, when Manager Li Feng came to me this morning, I told her about Tingting and Binbin's study. I asked her to help ask if there were any kindergartens and primary schools nearby, and she told me that there were kindergartens and primary schools in our company community and the surrounding real estate communities. Later, when I went to work, I asked the doctor and the person who came to see me, and I also confirmed that there is a kindergarten and elementary school nearby. I mean, you've come to work in the provincial capital now, and Tingting and Binbin are not young, they are the age to enter kindergarten and primary school. If possible, brother, can you go back and pick up these two children to study here?"
Hearing what the fifth sister said, Chen Long immediately reacted, Li Feng told him that the matter of the child's reading was brought up by his sister first......!
The fifth sister saw that her brother did not respond to her, so she continued: "I have already discussed with Chen Gang's second brother, and in a few days, when he and I both graduate, we have a formal job and income, and we can rent a better house to live in." So I took my mother to the provincial capital, sent her to a good hospital for treatment, and let her see the high-rise buildings in the provincial capital with her own eyes......"
They are all sensible people, and they are all filial children. Chen Long had already thought in his heart that it was just his current situation...... It's really more than enough to have more than enough power!
Hearing his sister say this, Chen Long endured the helplessness in his heart and responded: "Fifth sister, I know." You and Chen Gang don't need to think too much about these things in advance. You should do a good internship first, and then talk about it after you have successfully graduated and come out to work. Sometimes thinking too much and planning too much may not be realized, and the plan can't keep up with the changes, so it's better to see one step at a time. Now that you've had your fill, go back to school right away, it's getting late!"
Chen Long said, walked over and picked up the bag of fruit left by Li Feng and handed it to the fifth sister and said, "You can take this bag of fruit back to school and eat it." I've already figured out that when I'm done for the month and get paid, I'll go home to visit my mother and plan for my two children's studies. The eldest sister and I are taking care of the affairs of the family, so you don't need to worry about it with Chen Gang......"
Looking at her brother's kind eyes and listening to his caring words, the fifth sister didn't say anything more. She walked to the table with the fruit in her hand, took half of it from the bag, and said, "I'll take half of it, and keep half of it for you to eat." ”
After the fifth sister finished speaking, she walked out with half a bag of fruit.
"Stay safe on the road. ”
Chen Long admonished and looked at his sister and walked out of the house......
After the fifth sister left, Chen Long sat down at the table where the fruit was placed, touched the fruit in his hand for a while, then took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed Li Feng's phone.
The phone rang a few times and it was connected, Chen Long wanted to say hello first, but he didn't know what to say, so he couldn't say half a word after opening his mouth for a long time.
On the other end of the phone, Li Feng had already put the phone close to her ear, but she was holding her breath, wanting to hear what Chen Long had to say to her first......
In this way, the two of them put their mobile phones close to their ears, but they didn't say anything......
For almost a minute, Li Feng waited a little anxiously, so he asked, "Long Chen, what's the matter with you? Why don't you speak after dialing the phone?"
Hearing Li Feng's seemingly unhappy question, Chen Long suddenly felt like he had been stabbed with a knife in his heart, and his mind was blank in panic, and he quickly responded: "I, I, I'm Chen Long......"
"I know you're Long Chen, isn't your answer superfluous? Say, call me, do you have anything?"
"Yes, there is ......"
Chen Long hurriedly forced himself to calm down, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and adjusted his thinking before replying, "...... I want to explain to you that tonight, Lu Tingting came to me, and she came by herself. She didn't even make a phone call to me, so she suddenly bought vegetables and came to me to cook for her. Say the food I cook is delicious...... And then you come in and see it's not what you thought it was...... Really, trust me, don't get me wrong......"
"Long Chen, if you still want to explain this matter to me on the phone, then please don't talk about it!" Li Feng interrupted him, "Didn't I tell you, I don't want to hear about you, why do you like it! However, my sudden intrusion did disturb you, and I apologize to you again." ”
"Li Feng, can you stop saying that? I'm even more uncomfortable when you say this......
"Okay, Long Chen, please don't talk about this anymore, if you say it again, I'll hang up. If you still want to say something, say something else. Li Feng issued a warning to him.
"Well, then I'm not going to talk about it. That, that Lu Tingting wants you to help arrange work, see if you can ......"
As soon as he heard Chen Long say this, Li Feng immediately interrupted him again: "Long Chen, why are you a dead brain? Didn't I give you a clear answer tonight? Do you really not understand or understand what I mean?"
"What do you mean......" Chen Long was forced to listen.
"Well, since you don't understand, I'll tell you straight to the point now. Li Feng looked a little anxious, "Because I really don't want you to be with that woman! I don't know if you don't understand or listen to what I told you before, don't you think that woman wants to stick to you and take advantage of you? Have you never seen a woman, or have you not been able to understand a woman's words and deeds? I can tell you with a certain degree that if you really mix with such a woman, you will regret it sooner or later!"
“...... Well, Li Feng, I very much agree with what you said. But...... Those are all Lu Tingting's wishful thinking for me, really, I don't mean anything to her. ”
Hearing Long Chen's answer, Li Feng suddenly felt great comfort in his heart, so he said in a slightly softened tone: "Oh, since this is the case, then you can directly refuse her, and avoid her from afar! By the way, Long Chen, I will tell you by the way here, about your heroic act of catching thieves, I helped you apply for a bonus today, rewarding you with 3,000 yuan, and it is estimated that you will receive it when you go to work tomorrow morning." ”
"Ah, reward me so much?" Chen Long couldn't believe it when he heard it.
"It's only 3,000 yuan, which is not much! If possible, I'll help you apply later." Chen Long, I think so, you better go home and pick up your two children to the provincial capital, and arrange to study in the kindergarten and primary school here nearby. Children have reached the age when they should go to school, and they should not miss the opportunity to study. This is an important thing, and I hope you will pay attention to it. ”
Hearing that Li Feng's tone of voice had improved greatly, and that he was so concerned about his children's study, Chen Long didn't know how grateful and moved he was! But thinking of his current situation, he immediately sighed and replied: "Li Feng, I am very grateful for your care and help for me and my children, but my current situation is ...... I've only been here for a few days...... I'm crossing the river now, and it's hard to protect myself, so how can I bring my two children into the provincial capital......
"Long Chen, I understand your current situation, but there is always a way. In fact, I have already helped you think about it, as long as you can work in our company with peace of mind and stability, I am very willing to help you. It doesn't cost much for your child to go to school, and I can help you. The place you live now, you can live for free, if not enough, you can clear the house next to it and make it available for you and your children. Or, you can rent a larger house in or near the company community for you and your children......"
Hearing Li Feng's words, Long Chen was moved...... Such words, such behaviors, only the dearest relatives can say and do!
“......”
Chen Long wanted to respond to her, but he couldn't find a better way to respond to her, so he just grabbed the phone in his ear and listened with his mouth half open......
didn't hear Chen Long's response, Li Feng finally said: "Long Chen, I really hope that you can work every day with peace of mind in the future, and you can always stay and work in our company." I'm sure you'll have better performance and I'm sure the company will reuse you. I've been helping you these days, and I'm sure I'll continue to do so in the future...... I know you may think it's incredible that I'm helping you like this, and I'm curious to know what I'm doing for it, but I'm telling you, even I can't tell myself why I'm helping you like this, it's all because of how I feel about you, and I always feel like there's a force pushing me to help you...... I hope I didn't do you wrong, and hopefully one day I'll unravel the reason why I helped you...... Okay, what am I talking nonsense? I won't bother you, Long Chen, you can get some rest. I hung up. ”
Li Feng said and hung up the phone in a hurry......
On both ends of the phone, two people held the phone in their hands and fell into deep thought for a long time......
