Chapter 57: Han Zhi eats wilts
Nanqiao has evening classes today, and recently she is preparing for the graduate school entrance examination, and she stays at school until nine o'clock every day before going home.
Today, I wanted to take a shortcut home, but I didn't think that this copy would make her meet Chen Yong.
When she first looked at the back, Nan Qiao didn't dare to recognize it, but after she followed a few steps, she was sure that the person was really Han Zhen's uncle.
She stepped forward and came to Chen Yong, "Uncle, why are you here, you ......"
The title "uncle" was called by Nan Qiao when she was twelve years old, and she developed a habit later, when she thought she could marry Han Zhi, so it was not the same in the morning and in the evening.
Not to mention, because of the title of "uncle", she suffered a lot of discussion behind her back.
"South buckwheat. ”
Chen Yong held Nan Qiao's hand tightly and called her name tremblingly.
"Well, uncle, where is Han Zhen?"
When Han Zhi was mentioned, Chen Yong thought of Sheng Qiannuan's ignorant child, he let go of Nanqiao's hand and waved, "Don't mention it, don't mention it." ”
Nan Qiao nodded, she saw a shopping mall opposite, so she instructed Chen Yong: "Uncle, you wait for me here, I'll buy you something." ”
Nan Qiao comforted Chen Yong and went straight to the mall, where she bought a down jacket, as well as a pair of sneakers and socks.
Although she hated Han Zhen, she couldn't sit idly by and ignore Chen Yong, no matter how she said it, he was also an old neighbor who watched her grow up.
In the past, there were several parent-teacher conferences that Chen Yong helped to organize.
"Uncle, does it fit?"
"Fit, fit. ”
"Where's the shoes?"
"It's suitable, it's suitable. ”
At this moment, Chen Yong's heart was completely warmed by Nanqiao.
"Gollum ~ Gollum. ”
Chen Yong's stomach began to protest, and Nan Qiao knew that he was hungry.
"Uncle, I'll take you to dinner. ”
Nan Qiao said and took Chen Yong's hand and walked towards the mall.
Chen Yong had a headache when he looked at those shopping malls and elevators, he had been in Beicheng for so long, Sheng Qiannuan almost always took her to the shopping malls to eat, those places were decorated with high-end decoration, and the dishes were good, but he just wasn't used to eating, and he didn't feel grounded.
"Don't go there, you can take me to eat something. ”
Nan Qiao responded: "Okay, then what do you want to eat?"
Chen Yong misses that kind of roadside stall very much, there are a lot of Jingxian County, sitting on the side of the road eating side dishes, drinking wine, not to mention how comfortable it is, he has little left in his life now, of course, he wants to have fun in time.
"Hehe, roadside stalls, stir-fry a few dishes, let's have a good chat. ”
"Good. ”
Nan Qiao took Chen Yong to look for a long time, and finally found a local restaurant at the entrance of an alley, which is not a roadside stall, but it is also very down-to-earth.
Eating a plate of dishes for a few yuan and tasting wine for more than a dozen yuan, Chen Yong couldn't help but sigh that this is life.
"Tsk~"
Chen Yong took a sip of liquor, frowned and said, "It's delicious, girl, thank you, if I hadn't met you today, I wouldn't have known what to do, and I might have died." ”
"Cheers. ”
Chen Yong raised his cup and touched the cup with Nanqiao.
"Uncle, are you here to visit Beicheng this time?"
Nanqiao's idea was that Han Zhi settled in Beicheng, so Chen Yong came over to play, but he didn't know that it was at all.
"No, I came to see a doctor. ”
"What's wrong with you?"
Chen Yong put down the cup and poked the position of his liver with his finger, "There are bad things here, the terrible kind, it is said that the cancer has spread, and it has not been long." ”
With that, he took another sip.
Hearing Chen Yong say this, Nan Qiao looked at him seriously.
Chen Yong was indeed much thinner than before, and she remembered that his skin was not so dark before.
The current Chen Yong is enough to describe it with the words "haggard".
"Is it really not going to work?"
Nan Qiao asked again.
"Yes, no, but I don't have any regrets, I've earned God for fifty years, it's enough, I'm a poor bastard, I'm empty when I come, and I'm empty when I go, but it's just that my wife and children are suffering, but fortunately, Ah Zhi is promising, he will take care of the family for me, and I can rest assured when I go." ”
After Chen Yong finished speaking, he wiped away his tears with his hands, he took a deep breath, took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
"Delicious, hahaha. ”
Nanqiao was a little choked, she was stupid, and she didn't know what words of comfort she could say.
After a short moment of silence, Chen Yong suddenly looked at Nan Qiao and asked with some regret, "Girl, why didn't you end up with Ah Zhi?"
All the people in Trillium Lane know that Nan Qiao's liking for Han Zhi is deep in the bone marrow, doesn't the old saying say that women chase men in the interlayer yarn, why doesn't this work on the two of them.
Nan Qiao chuckled, "It's not because he doesn't like me. ”
yes, otherwise what else could it be?
Obviously, Chen Yong did not accept this answer, he slapped the table heavily, and said angrily: "That Ah Zhi is really, you are such a good girl, why doesn't he like it? In my opinion, you are much better than that one." ”
mentioned Sheng Qiannuan, Chen Yong was on fire.
Nan Qiao did not respond to Chen Yong, how could she be qualified to comment on Sheng Qiannuan.
"Nanqiao, you and Ah Zhen, is it really impossible?"
Chen Yong didn't give up, he felt that it was a pity that they were really so compatible, but they couldn't be together.
Of course, it was more true than real gold, and she didn't want to go back to the days when she groveled and lived for Han Zhi in the past.
On the night when everyone slept on Zhengxiang, only her pillow was wet, that kind of fear, that kind of helplessness, she didn't want to experience it at all.
"Well, uncle, it's impossible for me and him to live in this life, but whenever Han Zhi didn't give up in the years when I didn't give up, no matter which time he came to me, I would turn back, but now it's not good, I don't like him anymore. ”
"Don't you regret loving Ah Zhi for so many years?"
Chen Yong then asked.
Nan Qiao shook her head, "No, uncle, what is easily lost, I can't talk about regrets, I have no fate with Han Zhen, and we can't go together." ”
"Do you regret it? Do you regret liking Ah Zhen?"
At that time, Chen Yong's eyes were already full of tears, perhaps because people were dying, and he saw many life principles more thoroughly than others.
"In fact, there is nothing to regret, if there is really a time back, with my mind and thoughts at that time, I will still make the same choice, to be honest, I am sometimes very grateful to Han Zhi, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be where I am today. ”
Nan Qiao winked at Chen Yong playfully, looking like a very junior being coquettish to his elders.
Chen Yong patted Nanqiao's shoulder and sighed three times in a row, "It's a pity."
The two were silent for a moment, and Chen Yong offered to ask Nanqiao to help buy a train ticket back to Jing County.
He is penniless now, and he doesn't have his mobile phone with him, so he can't really walk back to Jing County.
Nanqiao agreed, she took out her mobile phone, and when she was about to click on the ticketing software, the mobile phone was suddenly pulled out and placed on the table.
"I'll do it. ”
Looking for prestige, I saw Han Zhi sitting down at their table, and then said something inexplicable.
"Nanqiao, you are very powerful, and you have the ability to predict the future. ”
Chen Yong and Nan Qiao looked at each other, where did this start? Could it be that buying a train ticket has the ability to predict the future?
However, only Han Zhi himself knew what he meant by this.
Han Zhi seemed to be seriously fiddling with his mobile phone, but in fact, he had been thinking about Nan Qiao's conversation with Chen Yong just now.
Two hours ago, Han Zhi was looking for Chen Yong all over the city, and he searched hard along the road from his home to the train station, and finally found him in this inconspicuous local restaurant.
It's just that what is unexpected is that Chen Yong is actually with Nanqiao?
When Han Zhi went out from the Beicheng Mansion and saw Chen Yong's wallet and mobile phone, they were all at home, but he was now wearing a new down jacket, and the answer was obvious that these must have been bought by Nan Qiao.
To tell the truth, Han Zhi is grateful to Nan Qiao for Chen Yong's matter, he used to hurt her so much, and now she can help her uncle like this, which shows that she is really a person with a very good character.
In this regard, Nan Buckwheat is stronger than Sheng Qiannuan, Han Zhi admitted.
He didn't want to snoop, but suddenly Chen Yong brought up that question, and he asked Nan Qiao if they could still be together?
The ghost sent the gods, Han Zhi wanted to know Nanqiao's answer, and he wanted to know if she was still expecting herself as before.
How do you know that woman is really powerful, talking about the big truth one after another, and it is impossible in this life, is she like Chen Yong, whose life has come to an end? If not, why would she dare to use the word "for a lifetime"?
Because of Han Zhi's appearance, the atmosphere became a little awkward, Nan Qiao didn't want to sit at the same table with Han Zhi, she took her bag from the chair next to her and said to Chen Yong: "Uncle, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, you ...... You take care of yourself. ”
Nan Qiao wanted to say take care, but thinking about it, it was too hurtful for Chen Yong, so she said take care of herself.
Nan Qiao wanted to leave, Chen Yong grabbed her wrist, "Qiao, let's sit with my uncle for a while, now that Ah Zhi is here, the three of us will have a drink, today may be the last time we will meet." ”
It's sad that it's the last time I've seen you, and the next time I'll see you might be a bag of ashes.
Chen Yong's eyes flashed with tears, and that expectation made Nan Qiao unbearable to refuse.
She nodded, and sat back down.
During this process, Han Zhi didn't even raise her head, but for some reason, her heart was a little abnormal because she stayed.
In order to erase this strange feeling, Han Zhi said very casually: "Uncle, she has a boyfriend, maybe people are waiting for her to come home, don't make trouble for Nanqiao." ”
Han Zhi had his intention when he said this, he wanted to know where Shen Dushi and Nan Qiao had got, whether they were living together or not.
With his understanding of Nan Qiao, the possibility of cohabitation is relatively small, because even if she really has a new relationship, it is unlikely that she will repeat the mistakes of the past and easily hand herself over.
Chen Yong looked at Nan Qiao and twisted his brows, "Buckwheat, is what Ah Zhi said true?"
If so, what can we do? Are the two really going to be finished?
Nan Qiao glanced at Han Zhi, she didn't understand why he said this well, what did he want to test? He was afraid that he would come back to him again, so he deliberately said this?
If yes, then Nan Qiao doesn't mind pandering to him once like before.
Nan Qiao looked at Chen Yong and pretended to be coquettish and responded: "Yes, I have a boyfriend, I originally made an appointment to watch a movie at home together tonight, but it didn't turn out that I met you, and now it is estimated that he is in a hurry to wait for me." ”
This tone, this demeanor is lively, and she looks like a little woman in love.
Han Zhi cast a cold glance at Nan Qiao, thinking, is this woman so?
Nan Qiao smiled back at him with a charming smile, this kind of smile had never been seen by Han Zhi before, although she smiled at him, but the eyes of him were stranger than strangers.
"And what does your boyfriend do?"
Chen Yong subconsciously still didn't want to believe and accept this.
Because of so many years, he has witnessed all the way how much Nan Qiao likes Han Zhi, how could a girl who can give up her future for the person she likes turn around and love others?
Chen Yong's question stumped Nan Qiao, she didn't have a boyfriend at all, how could she make up a man in such a short period of time?
At the moment, the only way to do this is to find a ready-made one.
"Well, he's the captain. ”
"Flying the plane?"
"Yes. ”
Chen Yong didn't know who it was, but Han Zhi knew it was Shen Dui when he heard it, and he heard Sheng Qiannuan talk about it.
"How old are you? Where are you?
Although Chen Yong's question is idiotic, it is very informative, especially the last one, and Han Zhi, who is one of the parties involved, also wants to know the answer to this question.
Nan Qiao hesitated for a few seconds, and then replied: "I am the same age, and I am also from Jing County, as for ...... Well, he may not be as good as Han Zhen, but he likes me very much, and that's enough. ”
This answer can be said to be very flattering, Han Zhi felt familiar at first glance, and after thinking about it carefully, didn't this answer come from what he once said to Nanqiao?
At that time, Nan Qiao asked Han Zhi, is Sheng Qiannuan better than her?
His answer was: "She's not as nice as you, but I like it." ”
Today, Nan Qiao changed this sentence a little and returned it to Chen Yong, which sounded the same, but in fact, the lethality was thousands of times that of Han Zhi's original, tens of thousands of times.
Han Zhi quietly put his hand into his pocket, his five fingers clenched into a fist.
Awesome, the current buckwheat is a thorny rose.
Chen Yong still felt sorry, "It's a pity for the two of you." ”
"Nothing to be sorry about. ”
This sentence was said by Nan Qiao and Han Zhi at the same time.
It's a pity that there is no love, love is voluntary, there are no regrets, what is a pity!
Of course, Nan Qiao will not forgive Han Zhi, he owes her too much, he plays with her life and feelings, wastes so much of her youth, and has an unformed child.
Nan Qiao couldn't swallow this breath, and she didn't want to see him in her lifetime.
To paraphrase a phrase from the popular court drama of the moment, "Death and life will never see each other again." ”
In the second half of the night, Han Zhi accompanied Chen Yong to the hotel, and he didn't go back all night.
Chen Yong chatted with him about many of Sheng Qiannuan's evil deeds, of course, this kind of thing can't be slapped in the face, and Han Zhi thinks that Chen Yong must also have a problem.
Sheng Qiannuan's emotional intelligence is not so low that he treats him like this when Chen Yong has done nothing.
But after all, Chen Yong is an elder, and time is short, so he should be more accommodating to him.
In this regard, the buckwheat is much better than Sheng Qiannuan.
Early the next morning, Han Zhi put Chen Yong on the train back to Jing County.
Before leaving, Chen Yong grabbed Han Zhi's hand and said with some pleading: "Ah Zhen, uncle knows that your aunt and I have treated you badly over the years, and we are sorry for you, but can you help Chen Fei in the future for the sake of us raising you?"
Chen Fei is Han Zhen's cousin and is still studying in Jing County.
"Yes. ”
Han Zhi doesn't say pretty things, and he never promises others easily, but as long as he promises something, he will definitely do it.
Chen Yong got on the high-speed train, and he waved at Han Zhi.
They all know that this goodbye is the separation between life and death.
After sending Chen Yong, Han Zhi didn't go home directly, his mobile phone has been ringing every five minutes or so since yesterday, and there is no accident that Sheng Qiannuan called.
It's not the first time she has done this, Han Zhi has long been accustomed to it, at first when the two of them first had conflicts and emotions together, he would patiently comfort and reason with Sheng Qiannuan, and later, Han Zhi found that this not only had no effect, but made her even worse.
So, everything he did before was a waste of time.
Now Han Zhi has a deep understanding of Sheng Qiannuan's personality, many times he is treated coldly, anyway, the effect is the same as that of talking and comforting, and it will be good in the end.
However, the former does not waste time.
Han Zhi drove directly from the train station to the company, and recently there was a selection of "top ten lawyers" in the country, which is very important to him.
By the time I returned to the Beicheng Mansion after I was done, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
While passing by a flower shop, Han Zhi stopped and bought a bouquet of flowers.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Han Zhi found that the password of the electronic door lock had been changed, and he tried several times but could not open it.
The lights on the north balcony are on, proving that there are people in the house.
Han Zhi knocked on the door, and it took about ten minutes for the door to be opened, however, it was not Sheng Qiannuan who opened the door, but a strange middle-aged woman, who looked very good.
As soon as she saw the flower in Han Zhen's hand, the middle-aged woman quickly covered her mouth and pushed him out of the door and shouted: "Hurry up and take it away for me, it stinks to death, throw it away, hurry up." ”
At this time, a middle-aged man heard the sound, he put his arm around Han Zhen's shoulders and walked out, and did not forget to turn back to the woman to comfort, "Don't be angry, I'll throw it away." ”
The middle-aged man and Han Zhi walked to the stairwell and said softly: "Throw away the flowers, Xiao Nuan's mother is allergic to pollen, so she was a little emotional just now, don't you mind." Let me introduce, I am Xiao Nuan's father, Sheng Huinian. ”
Han Zhi understood, Sheng Qiannuan called her parents to Beicheng, and not only that, but they also changed the password of the lock at home.
This is very funny, this house was bought by Han Zhen, Sheng Qiannuan and himself are not married, and their family does not regard themselves as outsiders.
However, the visitor is a guest, and although Han Zhi is uncomfortable in his heart, he will not do anything to the two elders.
"Hello, uncle. ”
"Hello, Han Zhen, uncle has a straightforward personality, he won't hide anything in his heart, this time we came mainly for Xiao Nuan, you don't know that she cried with us for a whole hour in the middle of the night, when my mother and I were frightened, and immediately drove to Linshi to take a plane the next day. ”
On the day Sheng Qiannuan and Chen Yong quarreled, Han Zhi went home at first, she wanted him to comfort herself, and then the two of them went out to find Chen Yong together, but Han Zhi left the house without leaving a word, and did not return overnight, which made Sheng Qiannuan, who was already aggrieved, even more sad.
She felt that she was not as important as his uncle in Han Zhen's heart.
Therefore, when all the grievances and sorrows flowed into a river, Sheng Qiannuan couldn't bear it alone, so she could only seek help from her parents.
Sheng Huinian's words, Han Zhi understood that they must also feel that they had bullied Sheng Qiannuan.
"I see. ”
What does Han Zhi know? He doesn't know anything, this matter is a trivial matter in his opinion, even if Chen Yong is wrong, it is understandable.
"Well, Xiao Nuan's mother and I are very good at you, I think you are a particularly good child, you see that you can come to Beicheng from a place like Trillium Lane to settle down, which is enough to prove your ability, but Xiao Nuan is not bad, she has been excellent in all aspects since she was a child, singing, dancing, piano and everything, and now she is working in the top 500, which is much more capable than other girls. Of course, it may be because of our good family conditions, and we spoil her a little willful, but as a man, you should let her, you see, I won't let Xiao Nuan's mother for a lifetime. ”
Sheng Huinian's words not only did not move Han Zhen, but made him disgusted.
A few words casually brought Han Zhi's excellence, however, he didn't forget to step on him.
What is a place like Trillium Lane?
Also, when it comes to Sheng Qiannuan, Sheng Huinian can't wait to use all the words of praise in this world on her.
Han Zhi wants Sheng Huinian, what is this trying to express? I want to express that there is actually a big gap between myself and Sheng Qiannuan, is it because he climbed their family?
He has always felt that the best relationship is to understand each other, not blindly accommodating, and working together for the future.
But now that he is with Sheng Qiannuan, not only can he not be understood, but he will be persuaded to be humble without a bottom line.
What is the rationale for this?
Just because he is a man, he has to blindly indulge Sheng Qiannuan without distinguishing between right and wrong? His self-esteem is worthless, is that what he means?
Seeing Han Zhen's solemn expression and silence, Sheng Huinian reflected on whether what he had just said was wrong?
After all, Han Zhi is really a very smart person, even if they meet for the first time, Sheng Huinian can see it.
"Han Zhen?"
Sheng Huinian called softly with a pleasant face.
Han Zhi came back to his senses, still saying the same perfunctory words, "I know." ”
Back in the house, Han Zhi saw Sheng Qiannuan sitting on the sofa at a glance, she was holding a puppet toy and shrunk in the corner of the sofa, her face full of tears.
Now she looks like a wronged little daughter-in-law.
"Han Zhen, I'm Xiao Nuan's mother. ”
Liao Li took the initiative to open her mouth as soon as she saw Han Zhi enter the door, she sat on the sofa with a domineering appearance, a bit of a shelf.
This can't be blamed on her, Liao Li has been in the officialdom since graduating from university, and after so many years of hard work, she is now also a well-known figure in Jingxian County.
This is a person who has seen a lot of big scenes, and his natural vision is a little high, Han Zhi's background is not very good, and he bullied her as the pearl of her palm, what kind of face can Liao Li have?
"Yes, hello. ”
Han Zhi didn't use the title, because he could see that Liao Li had a bad attitude towards him, so why did he stick it up.
Liao Li's beautiful facial features twitched unnaturally, and she secretly slandered in her heart: Hmph, the poor mountains and bad waters come out of Diao Min, it is really worthy of being from Trillium Lane, and there is no basic politeness.
However, she didn't grasp this point and say more, after all, it wasn't her and Han Zhi who lived for a lifetime.
