When the old lady heard that he didn't want it, her face changed instantly: "Too little?"

Zhang Daxian found that the old lady had a strange temper, and hurriedly said with a smile: "It's a lot, I'm just polite to you, if you really take it back, I should be disappointed." ”

The old lady laughed and found this kid quite funny.

Qi Guomin's meal is almost ready, beckoning to eat.

Zhang Chi found that the two people who picked up the station did not come, so he asked.

Qi Guomin said: "They are all from this village, and they all went home to eat. After he became rich, he did not forget the people in the village, and took the villagers on the road to prosperity together, many young people in the village worked under him, and the prestige of Qi Guomin in Qijia Village was extraordinary.

The old lady counted down her daughter-in-law while eating, Qi Guomin's father and daughter were used to it, anyway, it was the old lady who said her, they ate theirs, and turned a deaf ear.

The old lady soon felt that she was out of interest, and turned her target to Zhang Chi, a newcomer, and gave him all kinds of wrongs about her daughter-in-law from scratch, Zhang Daxian had to listen patiently, the old lady said with her eyebrows fluttering, and Zhang Daxian couldn't laugh or cry when she heard it.

Finally insisted on finishing this meal, the old lady hadn't said that she was addicted, but fortunately, Qi Bing relieved Zhang Chi and said that she would take him around, and the old lady let Zhang Chi go.

Out of the courtyard gate, Zhang Chi breathed a long sigh of relief, Qi Bing chuckled, "Big head, right?"

Zhang Chi nodded: "Really, you touch it, it's too big." ”

Qi Bing reached out and touched his head.

"Touched the wrong place. ”

Qi Bing flicked on his head: "Let my dad hear that I have to cut you." ”

"Then you don't have to fight him. ”

Qi Bing twisted his arm, this guy who was not ashamed or impatient, Zhang Chi pointed to the mountain path in front of him, the two snuggled and walked over, and they walked to the end not far away, a platform appeared in the shade of the trees, standing on the platform can overlook the mountain scenery, Zhang Chi sat down on a big rock, pulled Qi Bing, let her sit on her lap, Qi Bing said: "My grandma likes to chatter when she is old, don't go to your heart." ”

Zhang Chi said: "I won't, it's just that she has such a big grudge against your mother?"

Qi Bing smiled: "It's okay in the past, I've been a little old and confused in the past two years, I will say bad things about my mother when I meet people, my mother has come a few times, but she has broken up unhappily, so she hasn't come recently, so she won't be scolded." ”

Zhang Chi said: "People are always like this, scolding you proves that she wants to remember you, if she can't remember it one day, she won't scold." "Then there is a sentence that I haven't said, when I don't scold, it's not far from leaving this world, as the so-called people are dying, and their words are good.

Qi Bing nodded, got down from Zhang Chi, and Zhang Chi said, "What's wrong?"

Qi Bing took a tissue and put it on the stone, sat next to him, and said with a smile: "I panic." ”

Zhang Daxian smiled evilly and said, "Wouldn't it be good to put it in?"

Qi Bing leaned on his shoulder and bit it, and scolded: "Shameless." ”

Zhang Chi said: "This small mountain village is very good, it is antique everywhere. ”

"It's all rebuilt, except for my family, they all love face, one by one, for fear of losing on the scene, in the past, our family was still the most magnificent house in the village, and now it has become the most shabby, in fact, my dad also wants to rebuild, my grandmother doesn't want to. ”

"Your dad is very filial. ”

"That is, my grandmother gave birth to four sons and three daughters, he is usually the most diligent one, and now he basically lives in the city, my father wants to take the old lady back to live in the morning, but she just doesn't want to, she would rather stay here alone, their brothers and sisters come over one day a week, so there is someone to accompany them every day. ”

Zhang Chi smiled: "Why not one person for a month?"

"Grandma didn't let it, not for a week, she said that she was this age, and she didn't know when she would leave, so let them change every day, so that she could see her children a few more times. ”

The two were chatting, and there was a sound of rustling behind them, and when they turned to look, they saw a man in his forties coming down from the mountain with a basket on his back, Qi Bing quickly got up and greeted: "Uncle Fugui!" Coming down from the mountain was the old lady's godson Liu Fugui, who was also one of the few people in Qijia Village who did not have the surname Qi.

Liu Fugui smiled and said, "Xiaoice! When did you come back?"

Qi Bing spoke, and introduced Zhang Chi to Liu Fugui. Zhang Chi took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Liu Fugui, Liu Fugui wiped his calloused hand behind him, and then shook hands with Zhang Chi, his big hand was rough and powerful.

He picked a lot of mushrooms and gave a pack to Qi Bing, asking her to take them back and give them to the old lady to eat.

Zhang Chi had cigarettes on his body and directly gave Liu Fugui a box, Liu Fugui was not polite to them, accepted the cigarettes, said goodbye to them, reminded them that it was going to rain, and hurried back.

Zhang Chi and Qi Bing didn't stay, when they returned to the old house of the Qi family, it was raining in the sky, the old lady was already asleep on the recliner, Qi Guomin was cutting her toenails, seeing Zhang Chi coming back, he beckoned to Zhang Chi, and the two of them put the recliner in the house together.

When I went out, I saw that it was pouring rain, and the whole yard was splashing everywhere.

Qi Guomin lit a cigarette and said, "How many days are you going to play here?"

"It's a week, my restaurant is about to open, so I have to go back in advance to prepare. ”

Qi Guomin heard his daughter talk about Zhang Chi's opening of a branch, and he admired the young man's entrepreneurship, remembering that Zhang Chi's new store was smashed before, he took a puff of cigarette and said: "I will return Chen Junmin's money, if you use the money, tell me." ”

Zhang Chi said with a smile: "The perpetrator has already compensated me, and I can't wait for someone to smash it again." ”

Qi Guomin smiled: "Tomorrow when I return to the clouds, Xiaoice's mother has long wanted to see you." ”

Zhang Chi said: "Uncle Qi, I'm a little uncertain in my heart. ”

"You didn't do anything wrong, what do you have to lose?"

Zhang Chi smiled: "It's just nervous." ”

"Why weren't you nervous when you saw me? You were scared by the old lady? There's no need, my mother's mouth is unintentional, Huizhen...... If Xiaoice's mother really came, she wouldn't scold, and your Aunt Xue had a good temper and was especially easy to get along with. ”

Qi Bing ran over with an umbrella and stood beside his father: "Dad, it's raining so hard, I originally wanted to take Zhang Chi to go around." ”

Qi Mindao: "The scenery in this area is good, there is a hanging temple that integrates Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. ”

The more famous the tourist attractions, the less interested Zhang Chi is, it is summer vacation, even if the weather is fine, it is just to see the heads there.

While chatting, Qi Guomin's phone rang, and after he answered the phone, his expression became a little depressed, and he shook his head with a wry smile to Zhang Chi and Qi Bing and said, "Something happened, I have to go back." ”

Qi Bing said: "Dad, what's the urgency, you have to rush back in such a heavy rain?"

Qi Guomin said: "You should know, Ye Jintang's son, Ye Huacheng, he was beaten. ”

Zhang Chi was also a little puzzled when he heard that it was Ye Huacheng, how could Ye Huacheng come here? Qi Guomin explained, it turned out that Ye Jintang asked him to come here to do an expansion project in the eastern area of the Western Film and Television City because this kid didn't know how to learn.

The project is a Silk Road town invested by Ye Jintang, who is the majority shareholder of the cinema itself, and invests in this town only to make movies. also specially greeted Qi Guomin and asked Qi Guomin to help take care of him, Ye Huacheng has been here for a while, and he has been without wind and waves, but he didn't expect to be beaten suddenly.

Qi Guomin rarely contacted Ye Huacheng, that is, he invited him to a meal when he first came over, but since he promised Ye Jintang to help take care of him, he couldn't stand idly by when he was beaten on his own turf.

When Zhang Chi heard that his godbrother was beaten, he couldn't pretend not to know, so he discussed it with Qi Guomin and decided to go with him.

Qi Guomin said to the old lady, and asked Tie Niu to drive back to the clouds in the heavy rain, Qi Bing didn't go to the hospital, he went home first, and Qi Guomin and Zhang Chi went to the hospital together.

Ye Huacheng was beaten very badly, although it was a flesh wound, his head was swollen like a pig's head.

Zhang Chi didn't look at the bedside card and almost didn't recognize it, when he saw him, this thing was lying in the emergency observation city and called, and there was a little goblin with heavy makeup sitting next to him.

Several people in charge of the Western Film and Television City were accompanied, Qi Guomin asked about the situation first and let them out, and saw that the little goblin was still sitting next to him, looking at Ye Huacheng with a concerned face, frowning and saying, "You go out too." ”

The little goblin glared at Qi Guomin, Ye Huacheng realized that Qi Guomin had arrived, and Zhang Chi also appeared in front of him, Ye Huacheng hurriedly waved his hand and motioned for the woman to go out.

Zhang Chi put the fruit basket he had just bought on the bedside table.

Qi Guomin said: "Do you know who beat you?"

Ye Huacheng shook his head.

Qi Guomin said: "Why don't you pay wages to workers?"

Ye Huacheng said: "I don't know, it's all the accountants who are responsible, it's just three days late, and it's not that they don't give it, these workers are too unreasonable." ”

Qi Guomin said: "I can help you find out, but you have to pay the salary, do you want me to tell your father?"

Ye Huacheng hurriedly said: "Don't, don't!"

Qi Guomin secretly sighed that this kid has no interest, everything has been figured out, the engineering party owes the wages of the workers, and uses the past set to deal with the workers here, this kid doesn't know the blood of the locals, to say that this Ye Huacheng is really uneasy, after he came, he didn't do anything serious, he spent all day drinking, and he hooked up with the little girl in the local area, it is estimated that the arrears of wages are just an excuse, and there are no people who have a personal vendetta in the newspaper.

Qi Guomin left first, and Zhang Chi stayed for a while.

Ye Huacheng felt a little faceless to see him, drooping his head, crying and mourning, since the accident in the capital, he was taught a hard lesson by the old man, this time he came to the Western Cinema City to be assigned to the army, because of the experience of the capital, he also restrained for a while, and he was usually very careful, and his father was also worried about his safety, so he specially assigned him two assistants, to put it bluntly, he was a bodyguard.

But it is impossible for the bodyguard to protect himself 24 hours a day, this time Ye Huacheng was planted again, and was beaten by a group of workers, saying that he was in arrears of wages, but it was only three days late, and he was beaten like a pig's head, and he was wronged in this matter, and he usually didn't ask about specific things.

The little goblin who went out just now shook back again, Zhang Chi saw her heavy makeup and glamorous appearance, and secretly sighed that Ye Huacheng's taste was getting lower and lower, and sighed and said, "Your girlfriend?"

Ye Huacheng also felt embarrassed, it was really embarrassing to go out with this pheasant-like girl, signaled that she could go, picked up the smashed mobile phone and transferred two thousand yuan to the girl.

Zhang Chi watched the operation of this goods and sighed: "The price here is quite high!"

Ye Huacheng said: "It's my benevolence and righteousness, and people talk to me about feelings, not for my money." "It's all miserable to become this virtue, and I don't forget to brag.

Zhang Chi said: "Are you really going to let your godfather know?"

"If you tell him, I'm in a hurry with you!"

Zhang Chi said: "Well, I won't say it, do you want me to help you get angry?"

Ye Huacheng shook his head and said: "Excuse me, I'll be discharged from the hospital, anyway, there are no serious injuries, do you say that I am too old this year, unlucky things one after another." ”

Zhang Chi wanted to persuade Ye Huacheng, but remembered that this product suffered a big loss in the capital last time, and now he still has no long memory, even if he says it, it is useless, so he patted Ye Huacheng on the shoulder and said, "Take care of yourself, I have to go." ”

Ye Huacheng said: "Brother, I suspect that Lao Qi is looking for someone to get me about this." ”

Zhang Chi is really speechless, this thing is really brain-clear, can Qi Guomin be as careless as him?

Ye Huacheng said smartly: "Last time it was like that, Lao Zong didn't want me to stay in Jincheng, so he set a trap to kick me away, this time I must be in his way, so he used the arrears of wages to let people get me, and those workers were introduced by him." ”

Zhang Chi said: "Brother, don't think about it, Lao Qi's business center is not this film and television city at all." ”

"He is your future father-in-law, of course you are towards him, he is not a good person, who doesn't know that he can have fun, there are several little wives. ”

Zhang Daxian was a little unhappy when he heard it, even if Lao Qi was really hiding Jiaojiao in the golden house outside, Ye Huacheng said it in front of him and didn't give him face, Zhang Chi said: "Yes, let's not talk about this, I have to leave quickly, and promise to go to his house for dinner." ”

Ye Huacheng said: "Go ahead, I'll pick you up in the next two days." ”

"You'd better heal your injuries first. ”

Zhang Chi came outside and saw that Tie Niu was still waiting in the parking lot, Zhang Chi got into the car, Tie Niu sent him to Qi's house, and on the way Zhang Chi asked about Ye Huacheng.

Tie Niu said with a disdainful face: "That playboy, who spends all day drinking, knows that he will harm the little girl, not to mention that the workers beat him, I want to beat him, if it weren't for the master's protection, I don't know how many times I would have suffered." ”

Zhang Chi also knew that Ye Huacheng was unpleasant, so he didn't continue to ask.

I saw that there are a lot of newly developed real estate projects around, and now it is the same all over the country, basically building like crazy.

Tie Niu drove him to a Western-style villa area, which was also developed by Qi Guomin, and their home is located in the core of the community, a single-family villa of more than 1,000 square meters, with six acres of land in the courtyard.

Zhang Chi got out of the car, Qi Bing had already come out of it, wearing a white sundress, cool and attractive, holding Zhang Chi's arm and saying, "Why is it so long?"

Zhang Chi smiled: "I have to comfort him a few words." He looked at Qi Bing and said, "If you wear so little, you're not afraid of catching a cold." ”

"It's hot, in your own home. ”

Zhang Chi said: "Wear more, I have poor control." ”

Qi Bing chuckled: "It's to test you." ”

The two entered the door, and a middle-aged beautiful woman with a dignified temperament got up to greet her, she was Qi Bing's mother Xue Huizhen, Zhang Chi had some ability to look at acquaintances, and at a glance at Xue Huizhen's good temperament, he knew that he was the kind of person who was knowledgeable and educated, so he used to wonder how Qi Guomin could give birth to such a beautiful and intelligent daughter as Qi Bing, it turned out that the root was here with her mother.

Zhang Chi greeted politely: "Hello Auntie, I'm Zhang Chi!"

Xue Huizhen smiled and said, "Hello Zhang Chi, please take a seat." ”

Zhang Chi sat down, and Qi Bing was busy making tea for him.

Xue Huizhen sat elegantly and said to Zhang Chi: "I have seen your photos." ”

"I'm not very photogenic!"

Xue Huizhen smiled: "Real people are indeed more energetic than in the photos." ”

Qi Bing came over with tea and immediately protested: "Mom, it's obviously very handsome, okay." ”

Xue Huizhen said: "Yes, very handsome!"

Zhang Chi said, "What about Uncle Qi?"

Xue Huizhen said: "Let's talk about business." ”

Qi Bing sat down next to his mother: "Mom, what are we going to eat at night?"

Xue Huizhen smiled: "Gluttonous cat, I've arranged it, Mother Qin is preparing it in the kitchen, do you want to help?"

Qi Bing nodded, got up and went, and specially reminded Zhang Chi before leaving: "Chat with my mother." ”

After Qi Bing left, Xue Huizhen said: "Qi Bing has been spoiled by me since he was a child, and he doesn't talk big or small. ”

"She's been nice to me. ”

Xue Huizhen said: "I can see it, in fact, the relationship between men and women, the active party will always become passive. ”

Zhang Chi was stunned in his heart, this mother-in-law had very keen eyes and said with a smile: "She takes special care of me." ”

Xue Huizhen sighed softly and said, "I'm worried about this, I don't know how to cherish what is too easy to get." ”

Zhang Chi felt that although Xue Huizhen was gentle on the surface, she was a tough person in her bones, but she was not as good as Qi Guomin, but since she came, she had to face it, and he smiled and said: "Auntie, don't worry, I will treat Xiaoice well." ”

Xue Huizhen said: "Being good to a person and making a person happy are two different concepts, can you make Xiaoice happy?"

Zhang Daxian was asked by Xue Huizhen, there was no doubt that she was a sane mother in front of her, Zhang Chi hesitated, although he could completely lie and blurt out, there was no way to pass this psychological hurdle. He can guarantee that Qi Bing is good, but he can't guarantee that Qi Bing will be happy.

Xue Huizhen said: "There is a kind of person who pretends to be generous on the surface, but he is very stingy and fearless in his heart, but he is very cowardly in his heart and pretends to be very happy, but he suffers from gains and losses behind his back. Zhang Chi, I investigated you. ”

Zhang Chi nodded, he could understand the reason why she did this, it was understandable for a mother to care about her daughter.

Xue Huizhen said: "I was born in an official family, so I used some connections to investigate some of your circumstances, and you are very mysterious. ”

Zhang Chi didn't speak, and it was not suitable to speak at this time.

"I'm not a person with a concept of family, otherwise I wouldn't have chosen to marry Qi Guomin back then, I have no background and connections in today's society, how can I want to start such a big career from scratch?"

Zhang Chi understood it, the emotional Lao Qi was able to do such a big career because there was a master behind him, and now it seems that the master is Xue Huizhen, and Lao Qi relied on her family relationship and connections.

"Zhang Chi, I have also inquired about the New World School of Management where you are studying, and the career you will engage in in the future is full of risks, right?"

Zhang Chi began to admire Xue Huizhen, proving that it was no accident that the Qi family could do such a big business.

Xue Huizhen said: "Of course, you don't have to think about it, I tell you that this is not against you and Qi Bing being together, whether you are friends or in love, I will not object, but I am not optimistic about your marriage, if you really come to the step of talking about marriage one day, I will resolutely oppose it, do you understand?"

Zhang Daxian was a little like he was on pins and needles, and nodded, people said so frankly, if they didn't understand, they would be pretending to be stupid. Xue Huizhen thinks that she can't give Qi Bing happiness, and she doesn't want Qi Bing to live in panic all day long after marrying him.

Xue Huizhen smiled: " In fact, Xiaoice is very similar to me, always pretending to be very happy, the more stupid a woman is, the easier it is to get happiness, but unfortunately she is a smart child, can only pretend that she is very happy, you say go, where you go, what you do, your explanation she may not believe, but she has to pretend to believe, one day she will not be able to bear it, believe me, love is a matter of two people, but life is ultimately her own, she cannot sacrifice her life for you, and you have no reason for her to make such a sacrifice for you. ”

Zhang Chi said: "Auntie, I understand. ”

"I just want you not to make promises, don't let my daughter have too many illusions, you and her are fundamentally two different kinds of people, and the business you are engaged in is likely to endanger the interests of our family. ”

After dinner, Zhang Chi and Qi Bing went for a walk in the park next to them, Qi Bing found that Zhang Chi was obviously silent, guessed what must have happened, and whispered: "Did my mother tell you something?"

Zhang Chi said: "It's just to talk to me about how to make you happy." ”

Qi Bing smiled: "I'm glad that it's my own business to be happy, what does she talk to you about?"

Zhang Chi said: "Qi Bing, I'm not joking when I tell you, you think about it carefully, can you bear that kind of life?"

Qi Bing said: "Psychologically it's okay, but the physical pressure is too great." ”

Zhang Chi laughed and pinched her nose: "You are really sexy!"
