At nearly five o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Qingdong received a call from Zhang Meng. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Chen Qingdong didn't tell Zhang Meng about going to her house to propose marriage today, because he knew that Guo Fengjuan had called Zhang Meng to tell him about it, and Chen Qingdong knew that Zhang Meng would definitely call him, but he didn't expect her to call so late.
After the phone was connected, Zhang Meng said very unceremoniously and directly: "Chen Qingdong, what the hell are you doing?!" ”
Chen Qingdong was not angry, and said with a smile: "I don't mean anything else, I just want you to come back, but you are disobedient, and I can't go to Hong Kong to find you, so I can only use this method to force you back." ”
Originally, Zhang Meng was still on fire when she dialed the phone, and she was ready to have a good quarrel with Chen Qingdong, but listening to Chen Qingdong say it so frankly, Zhang Meng was almost depressed, but she couldn't get angry anymore, and her tone softened, but she still said suspiciously: "Husband, are you worried that I will be infected with that infectious disease, so you have to let me come back?" Is there no other reason? ”
Chen Qingdong smiled bitterly and said, "Mengmeng, I have already made it very clear to you, it is because of that infectious disease, if you don't believe me, you have to guess if I have any other reasons, then I can't explain it." ”
"Husband, it's not that I don't believe you, but I think if it's really for this reason, you're really making a bit of a fuss this time."
"Mengmeng, I really don't know how to explain to you now, whether I'm making a big fuss or not, you'll know after a while. You're my wife, the closest person I've ever been to in my life, and I can't let you take a little risk! ”
Zhang Meng was silent again.
Chen Qingdong continued: "Meng Meng, if you really can't ask for leave, then I promise you that I will definitely find another opportunity for you to go to graduate school in the future." In fact, international education is so developed now, let alone going to Hong Kong, even if you go to the United States and Europe, as long as you have the strength and perseverance, then you can also go to those institutions of higher learning in Europe and the United States to further your studies, there are many ways! On the contrary, if you can't reach the level, then even if you get a postgraduate degree from this second-class school in Hong Kong, it is not interesting, it is just self-deception. ”
Chen Qingdong's words were a little too direct, Zhang Meng didn't speak after hearing it, she didn't know if she was angry or what, after a while, she sighed lightly and said, "Husband, let me think about it again, tonight, I'll call you back." ”
Chen Qingdong heard that Zhang Meng's heart had been shaken very much, but she must have been very sad, Chen Qingdong also felt that he was doing this, saying Zhang Meng like this, it really hurt her a lot, but he really couldn't think of any better way this time, every time he was related to his closest people, Chen Qingdong always felt a sense of powerlessness.
Chen Qingdong said in his heart, Mengmeng, you will definitely understand me after a while, but he didn't want to explain more, just said: "Okay, Mengmeng, I'll wait for your call." ”
Zhang Meng hung up the phone, hugged her legs and stayed on the bed for a long time, and then called her mother again.
Guo Fengjuan spoke more directly, and after connecting, she asked directly: "Mengmeng, have you bought your ticket?" ”
Zhang Meng didn't answer and asked: "Mom, the more I think about it, the more I think this time is very strange, there can't be something happening at home, right?" ”
Guo Fengjuan scolded: "You dead girl, what are you thinking about!" There's nothing going on at home, it's just that Qingdong wants to marry you! Mom spent so much time talking to you yesterday, did you hear it in your heart? ”
"Mom, I'm not mentally prepared at all, so you ......"
"What does it mean to be unprepared? During the Chinese New Year this year, you got engaged to Qingdong, isn't this just preparing for marriage? Is this called unpreparedness? ”
"Mom, I'm different from what you said......"
Guo Fengjuan is very "hating iron does not become steel", thinking that her daughter is really unenlightened, such a good man is not caught quickly, and she is still grinding and chirping there, in case Chen Qingdong empathizes and doesn't fall in love during this time, then she will cry!
Guo Fengjuan interrupted Zhang Meng's words, and said impatiently: "Okay! Come on! Don't give me any of this! I don't care what you mean, we're ready! Just the day before yesterday, Qingdong had already taken us to buy a house! ”
Speaking of buying a house, Guo Fengjuan suddenly couldn't help but be happy, her voice was not as ugly as just now, and then said: "Mengmeng, do you know, Qingdong is really a generous person!" He bought us three houses in Fengze Garden at once! And all with garages and storage rooms! People still pay the full amount! Fengzeyuan Community is the best house in our county, do you know how much it cost to get these houses? Five or six hundred thousand! Qingdong didn't even blink an eye! Moreover, the house in Qingdong is placed in our family's name, I have two sets under my name, and your brother also has one set in his name! Qingdong said, these three houses will be given to me and your father, one to your brother, and one for your marriage! Also, also, when Qingdong came to propose marriage yesterday, do you know how much bride price you took? Twenty-eight thousand eight, this is the highest standard in our county! Meng Meng, such a good man, both powerful and rich, and so generous, what else do you have to consider! I'm not saying, it's just that your head is not open, and the ink is still there, if you change to a clever girl, you would have to go to Qingdong's house a long time ago, and you can't look forward to getting married every day! ”
Zhang Meng was very upset when she heard this, and couldn't help but scold: "Mom, what are you talking about!" What do you think of me as someone? You asked me to marry Chen Qingdong for money! ”
Guo Fengjuan was also angry when she heard this, and scolded: "You dead girl, who was the one who wanted to follow Chen Qingdong in the first place?" Now I've got you married, and you're doing this and that! Is it bad for Chen Qingdong to be rich? If he is a poor bastard, shall I marry my daughter to him and ask for food? ”
Although Zhang Qiming, who was sitting on the sand, seemed to be watching TV, in fact, the sound of the TV was almost all turned off by him, and he had been listening to the phone call of the two of them with his ears, and now seeing that the two of them were almost quarrelling, Zhang Qiming really couldn't sit still, so he got up from the sofa, came to the inner bedroom, and said to Guo Fengjuan: "I'll say a few words to Mengmeng." ”
Guo Fengjuan was so angry that she handed the phone to Zhang Qiming, and scolded: "You girl really doesn't understand anything!" I'm her mother, can I still pit her? Look at her attitude! I was so kind-hearted to be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs by her! ”
Zhang Qiming pointed to the microphone of his mobile phone, and then said to Guo Fengjuan: "Okay! Come on! You go outside and drink a glass of water to cool off your breath, and I'll talk to Meng Meng. ”
As he spoke, Zhang Qiming walked to the balcony outside.
Zhang Qiming is a person who can calm down, and after coming to the balcony, he said softly: "Mengmeng, are you still angry?" ”
Zhang Meng has actually cried, she has been close to her father since she was a child, and when she heard her father's gentle voice, she felt even more aggrieved, and she cried even more, choked up and said: "Dad, look at what my mother said!" It's as if I'm just a thing, whoever gives more money will sell it to! ”
Zhang Qiming comforted softly: "Mengmeng, you know that your mother actually doesn't mean that, she is like this, she can't speak." In fact, your mother still cares about you, for fear that you will have a hard life after you get married. Of course, your mother is older, and there is no romantic thing in her mind, all she thinks about is firewood, rice, oil and salt, of course, she wants to do her best to find a good home for you. Actually, Mengmeng, your thoughts, Dad can understand! But I don't think you and your mother need to discuss this matter now, because you and Qingdong have been in love together for so many years, and they must love each other, so the things you are pursuing, Qingdong will definitely be able to give you, and those things that your mother fancies, Qingdong also has, isn't this the best of both worlds, how good! So there's no need for you to fight over those things. ”
When Zhang Meng heard her father's words, she immediately felt a lot better, wiped her tears, and said, "Dad, in fact, I also know that my mother is for my good, but the way my mother speaks, I really feel very uncomfortable. ”
Zhang Qiming lowered his voice and said: "Mengmeng, not only are you uncomfortable listening to it, but I am also uncomfortable listening to it, and I have been listening to it for so many years, and you also know that when your mother talks to me, it is even worse than talking to you!" But I slowly got used to it, because I knew that no matter how bad she said, but in fact, it must be good for us in her heart, who called us a family! ”
When Zhang Meng heard this, a warm feeling immediately surged in her heart, and she said in a low voice: "Well, Dad, I know." ”
Zhang Qiming continued: "Mengmeng, isn't the reason why you are hesitant this time is because you can't figure out why Qingdong suddenly mentioned marriage?" ”
Zhang Meng immediately came to her senses and said, "Yes, Dad, I'm just curious about this!" Qingdong said that it was because there was a terrible infectious disease in Hong Kong, and he was afraid that I would be infected, so he wanted me to go back. But I didn't want to go back, he had no choice, so he used this trick. But I always felt that he was making a fuss. Dad, Qingdong told you why he was in such a hurry to let me go back? ”
Zhang Qiming smiled and said, "Qingdong didn't tell me the specific reason, but I can guess." Mengmeng, don't forget, your father is also a person who has worked in both the political and business worlds, although he has not made any achievements, but he still has a little vision for things. ”
Zhang Meng urged anxiously: "Dad, what is the reason, tell me quickly!" Say it! ”
