"Dad, you sit in the house for a while, I'll go downstairs to buy vegetables, and we will have two drinks at noon." Xiao Nan's words interrupted Lao Cheng's chaotic thoughts, snuffed out the cigarette butt and returned to the living room, where Xiao Nan was changing his shoes at the door. "Wait a minute, I'll go with you. Lao Cheng said that he also came over to change his shoes, and the father and daughter went downstairs one after the other.

In the past ten years, the speed of urban construction in Z City has been like a turbojet engine with an afterburner turned on, and patches of reinforced concrete jungles have sprung up from the farmland on the outskirts of the city like mushrooms after a rain, and in the gaps between these high-rise buildings, there are many villages left, although those villagers have long lost the fields they depend on for their livelihood, but they have also lost their true colors as farmers who can only rely on renting houses to worry about food and clothing.

In order to earn more rent, these professional landlords have invested a lot of money to rebuild their own houses, and all the six or seven floors of buildings are rented to those young people who are looking for urban dreams in Z City, so that they can easily live a leisurely petty bourgeois life. As a result, the number of floors in urban villages is getting higher and higher, the streets and alleys are getting narrower and narrower, and the population density is increasing year after year, while the average age of the people in the villages is getting younger and younger year by year.

Maybe today is Sunday, the market in X Village is crowded, Xiao Nan and Lao Cheng originally walked side by side, walking and walking became one after the other, and then walked forward for a while, Xiao Nan who walked in front was covered by the crowd because he was relatively short, and Lao Cheng, who was following behind, bent down to ask the price of the food, and then straightened up Xiao Nan disappeared.

Lao Cheng walked along the market with a vegetable basket, he didn't see Xiao Nan all the way, and when he turned the whole street to a crossroads, Lao Cheng was already dizzy, not to mention where Xiao Nan was, he didn't even know where he was. "This kid, how did he do it, it's still the same as when he was a child, he lost it when he couldn't see it......" Lao Cheng took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and just wanted to call Xiao Nan's phone, when he suddenly stretched out a hand from the crowd and grabbed him.

"Dad, how did you do it, you will be gone in the blink of an eye......" Xiao Nan squeezed out of the crowd and appeared in front of Lao Cheng's eyes, and the other hand was still carrying a killed herring.

The palm of the "daughter" is as soft as a boneless, and the small soft and cool in the palm of the palm is as if Lao Cheng has instantly returned to his youth through the time tunnel, and the nineteen-year-old Li Chunhua dragged his hand in the park in the middle of summer, the same slight anger and the same Fantasia years......

It is said that the daughter is the lover of the father's last life, but Lao Cheng is looking forward to a son, and it is easy for the son to grow up, and suddenly he becomes a daughter again, how can this be really embarrassing......

"Dad, why are you looking at me all the time?" Xiao Nan glared and touched his face: "There is something on my face?"

"No......" Lao Cheng stretched out his hand and brushed aside a strand of Xiao Nan's hair that was stuck to his mouth, and sighed softly: "You are really similar to your mother when she was young...... I almost thought I had turned back the clock......"

"Really, how similar is it?" Xiao Nan asked curiously.

"Hmm...... There are at least six points like ......" Lao Cheng said thoughtfully: "The remaining four points are more like the face of our old Cheng family." ”

After listening to Lao Cheng's words, Xiao Nan's eyes suddenly bloomed with a strange brilliance, she put her arms around Lao Cheng's arm, and asked happily: "That means...... It doesn't matter if I'm a boy or a girl, you admit that I'm a child of the old Cheng family, right?"

Lao Cheng was caught by Xiao Nan's arm unexpectedly, and immediately felt the girl's unique soft body, and hurriedly shouted: "Xiao Nan let go, your fish are all attached to me!"

"Ah, I'm sorry!" Xiao Nan quickly let go, and saw that the dark jacket on Lao Cheng's body that had not changed for thousands of years was stained by the fish he was holding in his hand, and quickly took out a tissue from his pocket to help Lao Cheng wipe it clean.

"Forget it, I'll do it myself. Lao Cheng took the tissue from Xiao Nan's hand to wipe off the blood sticking to his clothes, looked up and saw Xiao Nan with a flat mouth and a depressed look, and quickly comforted her and said: "Okay, just such a small piece, my clothes are dark in color, and they don't get in the way......"

"I just ...... I'm so happy to be here......" Xiao Nan said aggrievedly. Lao Cheng smiled and nodded, took the herring fish from Xiao Nan's hand and put it in the basket, the father and daughter turned around and walked back, bought a few greens along the way, and walked back to the downstairs where Xiao Nan rented.

Far away, Xiao Nan saw the familiar silver-gray car, next to the car stood a young man dressed in white, who was talking to the landlord Lao Wang, only to see that the two were talking very speculatively, the man in white took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and handed it to Lao Wang, and used a lighter to light it for him personally.

"I'm dizzy, isn't this Zhao Yuxuan!" Xiao Nan was taken aback, this guy actually chased here again, the first time I saw him put down the shelf and go to get close to an idle person like Lao Wang, which was too far from his pretentious and a little clean on weekdays, so Xiao Nan was a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Xiao Nan, why didn't you leave all of a sudden?" Lao Cheng on the side noticed his daughter's strange appearance, followed Xiao Nan's gaze and looked forward, and also saw the scene that Xiao Nan saw just now.

"Who is that person?" Lao Cheng immediately saw the problem in his daughter's eyes. "Do you know the two standing in front of the car?"

Xiao Nan nodded: "The one on the left is the landlord Wang, and the one on the right is ......" Xiao Nan felt that her cheeks were hot for a while, and she found that she didn't know how to define the relationship with Zhao Yuxuan, anyway, it was definitely not a customer, and it was a little reluctant to say that she was a friend, and it was true that she was annoyed to death. "The man in white is surnamed Zhao, is ...... Acquaintance ......"

Lao Cheng is so easy to fool, after all, he has lived nearly thirty years longer than Xiao Nan, as the saying goes, the bridge that Lao Tzu has walked is longer than the road that your baby has walked! He could see at a glance that the relationship between his daughter and this man was definitely not as simple as acquaintances, otherwise he would not want to slip away by the wall when he saw him.

"Has he been in trouble with you?" Lao Cheng clenched his fists and made a bone joint sound.

"No! no!" Xiao Nan hurriedly said, "I just don't want to see this person......"

"Why?" asked Lao Cheng, "Do you owe him money?"

"No, Dad, what do you want?" Xiao Nan grabbed Lao Cheng's arm and wanted to dodge to the side, but Lao Cheng lost his temper and let Xiao Nan drag his arm, and his whole body stood still as if it had taken root on the ground.

"You're afraid of what he's doing, if there's any trouble, tell him to come to me!" Lao Cheng not only didn't follow Xiao Nan, but dragged Xiao Nan's hand and pulled her towards Zhao Yuxuan.

"It's over...... Zhao Yuxuan is going to be unlucky......" Xiao Nan thought. "Dad is a practitioner who cultivates both inside and outside, he punched him, and he vomited three liters of blood if he didn't break his bones and tendons, and if he really fought later, would I pull or not......"

Zhao Yuxuan was chatting with the landlord Wang about Xiao Nan, as a professional landlord Wang who had no worries about food and clothing, although he had nothing to do all day long, he was not a person with a bad character, but he had a big mouth and liked to gossip, and he was known as Wang Da Horn in the urban village. Today is the second time he has met Zhao Yuxuan, as the saying goes, once born and twice cooked, plus Zhao Yuxuan's dignified and elegant conversation, a few words of compliment, a cigarette was handed up, and he quickly removed his defense of Zhao Yuxuan, Zhao Yuxuan asked about Xiao Nan's daily life, and Lao Wang told him what he knew. Fortunately, Lao Wang is still a kind-hearted landlord, and he didn't tell Zhao Yuxuan about Xiao Nan Sanjing taking a drunk boy (Huzi?) home for the night in the middle of the night, he was quite beautiful in his heart, and said that if you talk about it in the future, you have to have a credit for my Lao Wang, an unsung hero......

The two were talking hotly, Zhao Yuxuan turned his head and suddenly found that Xiao Nan was being pulled by a man in his forties and walked towards him, looking at the expressions of the two, especially looking at some common characteristics between the eyebrows of the two, there is no need to ask if this must be a family, maybe this man is Xiao Nan's father.

"Cheng Xiaonan!" Zhao Yuxuan immediately left the landlord Wang, who was talking about it, and turned around and walked towards Xiao Nan. Xiao Nan shook off Lao Cheng's grasp, looked at Zhao Yuxuan coldly and asked, "Do you have something to do with me?"

Before Zhao Yuxuan could answer, Lao Cheng grabbed Xiao Nan's arm and dragged Xiao Nan behind him, and used his broad and solid shoulders to cover Xiao Nan behind him. "Sir, do you have anything to do with my daughter?"

After all, Lao Cheng is an older person, and his life experience is much richer than Xiao Nan's, although the words used in the question are cold, there is still a smile on his face. Zhao Yuxuan was also taken aback when he heard that it was Xiao Nan's father, and looked Lao Cheng up and down, seeing that although Lao Cheng was dressed simply, he had an extraordinary atmosphere, and standing still could give people an indescribable sense of oppression. Zhao Yuxuan secretly sighed a good word in his heart, if this person is twenty years younger, he must be the backbone of Zhao Yun and Ma Chao's generation, and it is thanks to such a father that he can give birth to a delicate daughter like Cheng Xiaonan.

"It turned out to be Uncle Cheng...... Zhao Yuxuan hurriedly took out his business card from his pocket and handed it over respectfully: "I am a friend of Xiao Nan, surnamed Zhao." I've come to your daughter to ask her to be the face of a series of campaigns......"

"Huh, image spokesperson?" Lao Cheng was stunned, he thought that Zhao Yuxuan was just a disciple who was confused by beauty, as long as he went up and yelled a few times, he would immediately fart and away, but he didn't expect that there would be such a thing, he looked at the company name and general manager title on Zhao Yuxuan's business card, and then looked at the business scope on the back of the business card, and finally turned his head to look at Xiao Nan: "Xiao Nan, do you know about this?"

Xiao Nan nodded to his father: "He told me twice, I didn't agree, I don't want to do this...... What image spokesperson ......"

The so-called product image spokesperson, even if he is engaged in infrastructure work in the unit, knows a little about it, it is nothing more than looking for a star or model with a bright appearance, posing next to the product to take photos and videos to make advertisements, I feel that I don't pay much and the income is quite large. The old-fashioned and decent old Cheng has a lot of prejudices against this industry, mostly from negative news such as various unspoken rules in the media.

Lao Cheng frowned and asked Xiao Nan, "Then what do you say?"

"Then you still need to ask! Of course I refused!" Xiao Nan's attitude was very resolute.

"Well, okay......" Lao Cheng nodded, and suddenly asked again: "That's not right, you don't want to be an image spokesperson to reject him directly, and you don't need to avoid him all the time, is there something else I don't know about?"

Xiao Nan faced his father's sharp eyes, felt that he had nothing to hide, his cheeks were hot, and he whispered, "There is still ...... This man is always ...... haunt me ......"

Lao Cheng "poofed" and was not angry but happy, no matter what his daughter was like before, at least now she pulled it out like this, the suitors are definitely lined up, and this self-confidence also comes from the demeanor of Xiao Nan's mother Li Chunhua back then. "I see...... So, what do you think of yourself? Xiao Nan, you make your own decision. ”

Xiao Nan shook his head vigorously at Lao Cheng: "I don't want him to pester me......"

"Okay......" Lao Cheng nodded, turned around and used his shoulders to protect Xiao Nan behind him again, he glanced at the elegantly designed business card in his hand again, and raised his hand to return it to Zhao Yuxuan: "I'm sorry Mr. Zhao, my daughter is not interested in your plan at all, I hope you won't come to my daughter again in the future." ”

"But ......" Zhao Yuxuan still had to argue, Lao Cheng punched a big tree with the thickness of a bowl on the side of the road, and the trunk shook violently, and the dead branches and leaves on the top of the tree fell to the ground, and a few sparrows that landed on the treetops fled.

"If you want to pester my daughter again, don't blame me, a father, for being unkind to you!"
