Chapter 869: Refusal
"No matter what the name is, it's always right for me to call my sister-in-law." Chen Xing said with a smile.
Chen Xing's words made Cheng Rongjiang and Zhuang Caixia feel very comfortable listening to them, and the originally grateful psychology was a little more emotional, Chen Xing really didn't have any arrogance in private, he was very easy-going, and it was easy for people to feel good.
When thinking of his son, Cheng Rongjiang frowned, and looked at his wife with some displeasure, "Siming, why haven't you called him out yet, Mayor Chen is here, that stinky boy doesn't know how to come out to thank him, this is not like words, and he doesn't even understand the minimum politeness." ”
"I called him once, and he didn't answer." Zhuang Caixia muttered in a low voice, her face was a little helpless, more distressed, walked towards a room next to the living room, and knocked on the door, "Siming, come out quickly, Mayor Chen is here, he helped you with your affairs, why don't you hurry up and thank Mayor Chen." ”
"Hey, Mayor Chen, I'm smiling at you." Cheng Rongjiang also sighed at this time, his son's troubles were solved, but the emotional matter was still a mess, if he hadn't dragged his son home this time, he and his wife would not have come back at ease, for fear that his son would have trouble because of emotional problems, in that kind of place in the capital, Cheng Rongjiang felt that his chief prosecutor was really worse than a sesame mung bean official, no matter what trouble his son had, he was powerless, if there was no Chen Xing's secret help, he didn't know what it would be like now.
"Young people are like this, everyone has been crazy about feelings, and I have just come out of those young years, and I can understand your son very well." Chen Xing shook his head and smiled, he also had times when he was crazy about Zhao Qing, thinking about him at that time, wasn't he similar to Cheng Rongjiang's son, either borrowing wine to drown his sorrows, or not thinking about tea and food, or simply being disheartened and locking himself in the house all day long, so Chen Xing didn't care about Cheng Rongjiang's son not being polite at the moment.
"That girl is indeed very good, my wife and I are quite satisfied, but the parents disagree, if we can't do anything, we can't rob the daughter-in-law." Cheng Rongjiang smiled bitterly and added tea to Chen Xing, Cheng Rongjiang didn't want to talk about such annoying family affairs at this time, and said with a smile, "I won't talk about these short things in the family tonight, Mayor Chen, we have to have a good drink in the evening." ”
Cheng Rongjiang said, the door of the room also opened, and his son Cheng Siming walked out of it, the young man's face was very haggard, his unkempt hair seemed to have just been thinned, and it was still a little messy, Zhuang Caixia didn't know how happy she was when she saw her son come out, "Siming, hurry, go and thank Mayor Chen." ”
Cheng Siming nodded slightly, walked over to the sofa, and when he saw Chen Xing, a stiff smile appeared on his face, "Mayor Chen, thank you." ”
"Do you feel like you're thanking someone?" Cheng Rongjiang scolded quite angrily, "Look at what you have become now, isn't it just a woman, just a setback in your relationship makes you like this?" It's a gentleman who should cheer up, work hard, and make some achievements to show the woman's parents, let them know that they are blind, and when they pushed a good son-in-law out of the door, you have to make them regret dying, so that he is a real man, if it is like now, I see that you have no future in your life, and it is not strange that the woman's parents look down on you, but I also look down on a man like you who is worse than a woman. ”
"Rong Jiang, say a few words." Zhuang Caixia nudged her husband, there was a hint of resentment on her face, it was rare for her son to come out of the room to thank Chen Xing, and at this time he still said such heavy words.
"You go to the kitchen to watch your dishes, don't wait for the dishes to be made, you can't make Mayor Chen go back hungry at night." Cheng Rongjiang ignored his wife's complaints, but wanted to drive his wife to the kitchen.
At this moment, Cheng Siming lowered his head and was silent, only from the clenched fist it can be seen that he is suppressing his feelings at the moment, there is no doubt that his father's words pierced Cheng Siming's heart like a needle, making the already painful Cheng Siming's feelings more and more excited, if it weren't for Chen Xing's presence now, Cheng Siming might be hysterical, during this time, he held back too hard, he closed himself up, gave up on himself, even his parents talked to him, he didn't care, but such a self-anesthetized closure, Instead of making his suffering less than a minute and a half, he became more and more decadent and depraved.
Chen Xing looked at the father and son in front of him, he could see Cheng Rongjiang's hard work, and his heavy words were nothing more than hoping that his son could cheer up.
The atmosphere was very silent, Chen Xing didn't say much, he saw some of his own shadows from Cheng Siming, the vicissitudes of life, compared with Cheng Siming standing in front of him, he also became a person in his early thirties, and his heart was also full of emotion, who has not been crazy when he was young?
Zhuang Caixia sighed lightly, and didn't say anything more, if she is seriously ill, she uses heavy medicine, and her husband uses this method to cheer up his son a little, and if he is too obedient to his son, it may not be a good thing.
Smiling at Chen Xing, Zhuang Caixia said, "Mayor Chen, you're hungry too, there's just the last stew left, and you can eat it right away." ”
"I'm not in a hurry, I'm not hungry." Chen Xing said with a smile.
Zhuang Caixia walked into the kitchen to be busy, and at the end she still remembered to give her husband a look, let her husband stop in moderation, and don't use the agitation method too much, not only will she not achieve her goal, but it will make her son even more decadent.
Just silent for a while, Cheng Rongjiang saw that his son didn't speak, and he was not stimulated by his words to hide in the room again, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, Zhuang Caixia brought the dishes up one by one, "Rong Jiang, beckon Mayor Chen to serve on the table, eat it while it's hot." ”
"Mayor Chen, your own home, you're welcome," Cheng Rongjiang stood up with a smile and said to Chen Xing.
Chen Xing smiled and said hello, walked to the dining table, looked at a few home-cooked dishes, Chen Xing smiled again, "It's all my favorite food, it seems that I'm going to feast on it tonight." ”
"Mayor Chen, listening to your speech, my heart is always comfortable." Zhuang Caixia smiled and shook her head, Chen Xing may not really like to eat, but he will always take care of other people's face.
Let Zhuang Caixia also sit down to eat together, and even Cheng Siming also sat on the side, although the young man still didn't speak, but at least he was willing to sit down, Cheng Rongjiang and his wife were obviously relieved, they were worried that Chen Xing would come over tonight, and his son would not even have the least courtesy.
"Mayor Chen, this sweet and sour pork rib was made just now, and the moment you just entered the door, it was mushy, and it probably didn't taste good." Zhuang Caixia pointed to the sweet and sour pork ribs and smiled bitterly.
"Why are you still serving it when it's all confused, look at your hospitality, don't you hurry up and serve it." Cheng Rongjiang glared at his wife angrily.
"I don't think so, you can't eat sweet and sour pork ribs, so let's eat black pepper pork ribs, I think this dish will be called black pepper pork ribs." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"Black pepper pork ribs, I think it's quite vivid." Cheng Rongjiang also laughed, poured a cup for himself and Chen Xing, and said, "Mayor Chen, I'll give you a glass first." ”
"Rong Jiang respects me, then I have to do it." Chen Xing smiled.
The two had a drink, Cheng Rongjiang looked at his son and said, "Siming, wait a minute, you have to give Mayor Chen a drink." ”
"Yes." Cheng Siming responded in a low voice.
Chen Xing looked at the young man sitting opposite, and then asked with a smile, "Rong Jiang, what is the woman's family doing?" How can you say that your family is not bad, and the woman's parents have such a high vision? ”
"The woman's parents are all in business, and they are wealthy, they don't mean that they look down on us, the main thing is that they have a favorite object, the man's family also works in the system, I heard that it is also a deputy hall, and the official is not older than me, but the woman's parents just want to climb the family business very much, because the man's deputy hall is from the capital, and my deputy hall is from Nanzhou, and I can't do anything in the capital." Cheng Rongjiang smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Not all the deputy halls are the same, what's the difference?" Chen Xing couldn't cry or laugh, but he also heard Cheng Rongjiang's words, the one in the woman's parents was an official in the capital, and the woman's parents were doing business in the capital, so they naturally wanted to choose Beijing, Cheng Rongjiang was also a deputy department cadre, but he was more just able to exert influence in Nanzhou City, in the capital, he couldn't help the woman's parents, and the woman's parents naturally knew how to make trade-offs.
"That's what I said, but it's a pity that people don't see it that way." Cheng Rongjiang shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Chen Xing can only sympathize with this, he can't help with this kind of thing, the marriage of the children depends on the parents' intentions after all, he can help Cheng Rongjiang's son solve the trouble of hurting people, but he really can't help the emotional trouble, and it is difficult for the Qing official to cut off the family affairs.
"Now they all say that they are free to love, and I don't know what those parents who still have the idea of arranged marriages think." Zhuang Caixia said very angrily.
"Dad, Mom, don't talk about this at dinner, Mayor Chen is a guest at our house, why are you talking about this." Cheng Siming, who basically didn't speak, suddenly said loudly, obviously not to let people talk about this matter more.
After Cheng Siming finished speaking, he got up and toasted Chen Xing, "Mayor Chen, thank you for your help, I salute you for this glass of wine." ”
Cheng Rongjiang and Zhuang Caixia saw their son's actions, the two glanced at each other, and a trace of joy flashed in each other's eyes, and their son seemed to be a little more energetic, at least he was no longer lifeless.
Chen Xing also took a sip of his wine glass, and said words of encouragement, "Young man, a momentary setback is nothing, you are now losing a tree, but you have gained the whole forest, maybe you are almost callousing when you hear this sentence, and you feel that you are just fooling those who have failed in their feelings, but I have also experienced something similar to you, I can use my personal experience to tell you, I lost the love of my time, but I got better, and now, the parents of the woman's family are probably holding their heads and regretting it, so you see, It's not terrible for us men to encounter this kind of setback, but the terrible thing is that we have knocked ourselves down and have been slumped ever since. ”
"Mayor Chen, have you ever been rejected by others?" Cheng Siming looked at Chen Xing, his eyes were a little angry, but he didn't believe it more, a character like Chen Xing was the mayor at a young age, who would refuse him?
"Of course, I'm Mayor Chen now, but I wasn't before, not even Section Chief Chen." Chen Xing smiled and pointed to Cheng Siming's parents, "I didn't have such a good family condition as you before, your father is at least the chief prosecutor, not too big or too small is also an official, my father is just a teacher, and my mother is just an ordinary civil servant.
