Chapter 7: Blind Date (II)
After a few seconds of silence in the living room, Lu Jiuding said: "Mengdie, Xiaochen's work in Qingshi Township is just a temporary transition, and the bureau leaders have promised me that they will transfer him to the county bureau as soon as they have the opportunity, and it is estimated that it will not take long, because Xiaochen made a meritorious service the day before yesterday." ”
"Oh, Brother Lu, Xiaochen has made a meritorious service?" Shen Kai asked, Bai Xinjie and Shen Mengdie also looked at Lu Chen's father and son curiously.
Just when Lu Jiuding was about to tell, the housekeeper of the Shen family came in and said that lunch was ready, Shen Kai invited Lu Jiuding to move to the restaurant to eat and chat, Lu Jiuding nodded and got up, and when he told Lu Chen's deeds, the three members of the Shen family were quite surprised, because it was indeed a great credit.
"Uncle Lu, is Brother Xiaochen expected to be promoted?" Shen Mengdie asked.
"How can it be so easy, the promotion in the system must be in line with the organizational principles and processes, and the working years are one of the main conditions, Xiaochen has only been working for about half a year, but this credit is of great help to his future development." Lu Jiuding explained.
Shen Mengdie let out an "oh", her eyes rolled when she lowered her head, and she seemed to think of something, but all her actions couldn't escape Lu Chen's senses, although he was very good at conquering women, but Shen Mengdie's attitude of not wanting to date before they met made him very unhappy, but he didn't show it.
After dinner, Shen Kai and his wife had the habit of taking a lunch break, while Lu Jiuding had to rest for a while after a long journey, so they went to the guest room of the Shen family, leaving only Lu Chen-one-book-reading-novel{y}{b}{d}{u} and Shen Mengdie watching TV in the living room.
Because she was unhappy, Lu Chen did not take the initiative to speak, but watched TV while drinking tea with great interest, which was very unexpected by Shen Mengdie, originally she wanted to go back to the room to show her dissatisfaction, but when she thought of her life's events, she still took the initiative to speak: "Brother Xiaochen, do you think the two of us are suitable?" ”
"What's appropriate?" Lu Chen pretended not to know.
"Well, that's what the old people mean." Shen Mengdie was stunned.
"Oh, you mean that the two of us are kissing, I can't talk about this." Lu Chen said abruptly.
Shen Mengdie's heart moved, and she hurriedly asked, "Brother Xiaochen, don't you approve of it either?" ”
"But that's what the adults mean, and I'm not a junior who is not easy to disobey, but fortunately, they only let us get in touch first, and didn't ask us to go through the formalities immediately." Lu Chen said.
Originally, Shen Mengdie should be very happy in this situation, but it was wrong to say it from Lu Chen's mouth, because it showed that he didn't care much about her, which made Shen Mengdie, who had always been very confident in herself, suffer a lot of self-esteem, and her mentality changed somewhat.
After being silent for a moment, Shen Mengdie said: "Brother Xiaochen, what you said is also true, the meaning of adults is not good to disobey, we can also try to understand again, but I have a small request." ”
Didn't she originally want to, why did she take the initiative to bring up the matter of dating now? This may be because of her self-esteem, if she wants to date first, she can't bring it up, not Lu Chen.
"What requirements?" Lu Chen asked.
"You have to make achievements in the system, and within five years your position must reach the level of deputy department." Shen Mengdie said.
"What if you can't do it?" Lu Chen asked lightly.
"This shows that you are not good enough, then the two of us" Shen Mengdie's words did not continue, but the meaning was already very clear: since you Lu Chen are not good enough, then why are you embarrassed to be with her?
"Hehe, you're pretty direct." Lu Chen said with a smile, and suddenly, when Shen Mengdie wanted to speak, he sneered again: "If you don't want to, just say it, don't use this impossible requirement as an excuse, I don't care too much about our affairs." He waved his arms as he spoke.
Uh, such a cow, is this Lu Chen's plan to get away with it?
"You?!" Shen Mengdie was stunned, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
"Okay, don't talk about it, I'm tired and want to sleep for a while." After speaking, Lu Chen lay on the sofa to rest, Shen Mengdie hesitated for a while and then "hummed", and then got up and went upstairs.
After Lu Jiuding got up from a nap, Lu Chen called him home, on the way Lu Jiuding asked Lu Chen what was wrong, so anxious to pull him away, Lu Chen said: "Dad, don't you see that this blind date is our wishful thinking?" ”
"I can see this too." Lu Jiuding frowned and nodded.
"Dad, then what are we doing with this face?" Lu Chen said.
"But what about our Lu family?" Lu Jiuding asked.
"Dad, even if our Lu family is revitalized according to your original idea, it is also a kind of revitalization that depends on people's breath, don't you feel that there is no dignity?" Lu Chen reminded.
Lu Jiuding's body was shocked, and after being silent for a moment, he said, "Xiaochen, you're right, Dad won't embarrass you." ”
"Thank you, Dad." Lu Chen smiled.
When he returned to the house, it was almost evening, and Lu Jiufeng's family had already returned, but Lu Jiufeng did not contact Lu Jiuding when he came back as he said on the phone before, so Lu Jiuding took Lu Chen to greet him, after all, Lu Jiufeng was the eldest brother.
Lu Jiufeng's family had just had dinner, and they were very cold to the father and son, and after a few words of greeting, they dealt with it without saying a word, and they didn't ask Lu Chen and his son if they had eaten, obviously looking down on Lu Chen's father and son.
It is better not to have such relatives, and it is not possible to look at their expressionless "dead man" faces. Lu Chen thought so, then got up and said to Lu Jiuding, "Dad, let's go eat." ”
"Oh, fourth brother, you haven't eaten yet, alas, there's nothing at home, why don't I take you two out to eat." Lu Jiufeng said suddenly.
"No need, we still have this money for food." Lu Chen waved his hand first and said, not treating Lu Jiufeng as an elder at all.
"Xiaochen, how can you talk to Uncle like this." Lu Jiuding reprimanded, and Lu Jiufeng also looked at Lu Chen with a sullen look in his eyes.
"Hehe, Xiaochen, I haven't seen your personality increase a lot in a few years." It was Lu Jiufeng's eldest son, Lu Feng, who spoke.
Lu Chen didn't pay attention to this cousin who had always pretended to be very deep, but said to Lu Jiuding with a bitter face: "Dad, it's all your fault, Uncle Shen let us have dinner and then leave, you don't want to, I'm hungry now." Lu Jiuding was stunned, because it was Lu Chen himself who was shouting to leave, why did he say that it was him?
"Hmm, fourth brother, did you go to Shen Kai's house just now?" Without waiting for Lu Jiuding to react, Lu Jiufeng asked in surprise, Lu Feng also forbidden, his eyes focused on Lu Jiuding, he was also in the system, and he also understood what it meant to go to the Shen family.
