What is due will come.

After eating, the dishes and chopsticks were removed, and the parents surrounded Chu Tianqi on the pit. Even his younger brother Chu Lirui smiled and sat on the edge of the kang with his parents.

Chu Tianqi wanted to slip away on the grounds of "convenience", but he was clearly warned by his father, "Go and come back quickly, there is something to talk about". Now that it has been pointed out that "there is something to talk about", Chu Tianqi naturally can't go anymore, so he simply didn't go to "convenience".

Mother You Chunmei swept around the crowd, and said in the tone of the host of the meeting: "Everyone is here today, dog, you can talk about your marriage." When will you start a family? Who will you start a family with? Where is the girl now? Is Miss Hening okay?"

Listening to this tone and looking at this posture, it is obvious that he has been prepared for a long time, and he has written the draft in advance, and it is likely that he has held more than one unification meeting. The question was so direct that he couldn't dodge, Chu Tianqi could only stubbornly throw out a lie: "I have discussed it with Junqi, now we are not too old, and our work is just at the critical juncture, and we will get married after half a year." ”

"Half a year?" You Chunmei asked rhetorically.

Chu Tianqi nodded: "Hmm." ”

"Those two are thousands of miles away, how should they get married, and how will they live after marriage?" You Chunmei asked again.

Chu Tianqi continued: "I will be transferred back then, I should also work in Woyuan City, or she and I will come to Xuyuan County." Depending on the place of work, ......"

You Chunmei interrupted Chu Tianqi: "Dog, your father and I are not sure. Otherwise, you can call Miss Ning now, as long as she tells us a specific time for marriage, we will believe it, and we won't rush you. ”

"That'...... Isn't that right? Or did I ask her privately, more ...... Better. Chu Tian was all in charge.

"No wonder people say that officials can talk nonsense, even my dog has learned, and he still talks nonsense to his parents. You Chunmei's face sank, "I'm afraid she won't give this promise at all, maybe she won't even answer your phone, right?"

Chu Tianqi stiffened his head and said, "Mom, she's ...... You...... How do you say that?"

"Dog, it's true that my mother is a rural woman, and I haven't seen the world, but my mother is not stupid, I can still see if you two are good. You Chunmei said very confidently, "Miss Ning has been transferred for more than a year, and she has never been to my house before she was transferred, and she didn't come when she was transferred, and she didn't even have a phone call for more than a year." It's not normal, it's too abnormal. Miss Ning is a good girl, a sensible girl, if it weren't for the two of you blowing it, he would have called him, and he would definitely have taken the time to come to see us. Speaking of this, You Chunmei stopped and looked at the eldest son in front of her.

"Mom, how could it be?" Chu Tianqi sloppily looked, "Isn't she busy?"

"Still not telling the truth? I called her, but she couldn't get through. You Chunmei said, "Later, I went to the township to inquire, and I happened to meet the new female secretary, she said that the two of you blew it, saying that Miss Ning thought we were from the countryside and dumped you." ”

Isn't that Wang Xiaoying? Chu Tianqi thought of that girl, and immediately said, "Mom, that woman is not a good person, she can't get along with me, can she believe her words?"

"I can see that the woman is really bad, and she can't speak at all. Speaking of this, You Chunmei changed the topic, "However, what she said about the two of you blew this matter, I believe it." Later, I also went to the county development zone, and the head of Feng Township also said that you two blew it. ”

Do you see who my mother met? One Wang Xiaoying and the other Feng Junfei are not in the same eye as themselves, what good things can they say about themselves? But about their relationship with Ning Junqi, they have no reason to refute it. Chu Tianqi had no choice but to lower his head and stop talking.

"Dog, later a director invited me to dinner with your brother, and it seems that I have a good relationship with you. He didn't say a lot of good things about you, and he also said that the new female secretary in the township and Township Chief Feng didn't deal with you. What he said was very well heard, and I believe it. You Chunmei then changed the topic, "However, when it comes to the relationship between you and Miss Ning, he also speaks at a different pace, and says that he doesn't know very well. ”

Fortunately, my mother, like a member of the organization department, had already made a series of external transfers and found different groups of people to understand this matter. How can you deny it? Since you have nothing to say, you should not say it. Chu Tianqi continued to bow his head and remain silent.

Looking at his brother's embarrassment, Chu Lirui kept snickering on the side.

"Dog, now we all pay attention to free love, and your father and I will not restrict your freedom of marriage, let alone arrange it. You and Miss Ning are like this now, and we must have unbearable hardships, and we all understand. If the two of you can really get good and get married and have children, your father and I are in favor of it, and I do like that girl. But now it's in this situation, hey. After a pause, You Chunmei said again, "You are also not small, it is time to start a family." Do you have a new partner now, what are you getting at, where is the girl, and have you said when you will get married?"

I felt that my parents' eyes were on me, and I kept stuffy like this, which was obviously not like words. Chu Tianqi had no choice but to say: "I'm not big now, and many of my colleagues are not married." Besides, I just arrived in Xuyuan County, and the foundation is not solid, so it is better to do a good job first, and it is not too late to gain a firm foothold and start a family. ”

You Chunmei asked: "Can the work be completed? After becoming the director, I want to be the county magistrate, and I want to be the mayor, when will it be the head?"

"Mom, what I'm doing now is public security work, which is dangerous. Chu Tianqi threw out a reason that he didn't want to say.

"We've thought about this, then you can be transferred to another department, and the leader can't stop you from marrying a daughter-in-law. You Chunmei said, "Besides, don't so many people from the public security bureau in the county get together to give birth to their daughters-in-law? The boy who sent you here is a few years old. ”

Today, my mother looks like a rural housewife, who is clearly a discipline inspector, and has blocked all the ways for her to make up nonsense. What else can I say? But how can I fulfill my parents' request to start a family by myself? I have an agreement with Li Weimin, and I have been waiting for Ning Junqi. Of course, there is no need to say this, and the parents don't believe it, so they have to explain more.

"Tianqi, you are also thirty years old. As the saying goes, start a family, now that you have a successful career, the most important thing to do is to start a family. Father Chu Yuliang finally spoke, "Your younger brother is also not too young, you hurry up and start a family, and he can find a daughter-in-law." ”

Chu Lirui picked up the stubble on the side: "Dad, I'm not in a hurry. ”

Chu Tianqi also said: "My younger brother must have a suitable one, he can start a family first, and he doesn't have to wait for me." ”

"What kind of system is that? How can there be an elder brother who doesn't get married, and the younger brother who gets married first?" Chu Yuliang directly vetoed.

If I don't get married, it will affect my younger brother's family, what can I do? Then I can't break my promise, I can't go against my heart, right? Is there any way to let my younger brother start a family first? Chu Tianqi couldn't help but move his mind.

"Ding Woo Bang", the mobile phone rings.

The call came too timely, Chu Tianqi sighed and took out his mobile phone.

The call was just from Qu and asked Chu Tianqi if he was home, and Chu Tianqi told the other party that he had arrived safely. originally promised the other party to call as soon as he got home, but he was "interrogated" by his parents and forgot about it.

Next, Chu Tianqi talked to He Jiaojiao, Gao Qiang, Li Jian and others, telling him the news of his safe arrival. He Jiaojiao has always been unhappy about Chu Tianqi's refusal to accept his "heart", and now he has taken the opportunity to count Chu Tianqi again. There were family members present next to him, and Chu Tianqi couldn't say anything else, so he had to deal with each other with "um" and "ah" from time to time. It also attracted the attention of his mother, who looked at himself from time to time.

As soon as he hung up the phone, a voice came in: "Chu Party Group, you are back, the eldest brother and sister-in-law have been looking forward to it for a long time, and we miss you too." When the words arrived, Liu Danian walked in.

For the first time, he was called the "Chu Party Group", and Chu Tianqi was very unaccustomed to it. But he knew that Liu Danian was just a village secretary, but he paid special attention to these titles, and knew that he was the biggest official title for others. So, instead of correcting the other party's words, he warmly invited the other party to sit down and put on a cigarette.

Seeing the deputy director-level leader lighting a cigarette for himself, Liu Danian's excited hands were a little shaky, and his speech was a little incoherent, praising Chu Tianqi vigorously, and saying New Year's greetings to the Chu family.

Chu Tianqi usually annoys Liu Danian, but today he doesn't feel that there is such a chatter, just to relieve himself.

Seeing someone coming to the house, Chu Lirui said hello and went out to find someone to play cards.

……

Liu Danian was particularly excited today, using the past as a metaphor for the present, quoting scriptures, and holding Chu Tianqi to the sky. It wasn't until after nine o'clock in the night that he reluctantly left.

As soon as Liu Danian left, Chu Tianqi "fell asleep" under the pretext of going to bed and lay down.

Father didn't say anything, he had already gone to the East House, ready to rest. His younger brother Chu Lirui went out to play and hasn't come back yet.

Mother You Chunmei did not return to the East House immediately, but sat on the edge of the kang and nagged: "Dog, Mom knows, you all have your own ideas now, pay attention to the freedom of marriage and love. But no matter how free you are, you have to start a family, you have to pass on your ancestry, or everyone will have their roots. The pillar and second egg who studied in elementary school with you, and now the children are in several grades. What happened between you and Miss Ning, Mom doesn't know, and it doesn't matter which of you is right or wrong, but something must have gone wrong between the two of you, right?

The twisted melon is not sweet, and Miss Ning can't do it, so I'll find another girl. You just answered the phone, there is a leader, right? I heard her call you senior brother, that is a classmate. Hello classmates, study together, know the roots. Where is she? What does the family do? Is it from the city or the countryside? We don't pick and choose other families, as long as the girl is good, it will be good to you......"

Listening to his mother's random mandarin duck score, Chu Tianqi was speechless, and could only pretend to be asleep.

Suddenly, a thin palm stroked the sideburns, gently touching, and the warmth of childhood instantly surged into my heart. Suddenly, Chu Tianqi's rejection of nagging disappeared, and all he felt was his mother's love and strong happiness. Soon, he was truly asleep.
