Chapter 200: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner (Part I)
Li Mingyu originally wanted to introduce Liang Wenruo to Cheng Junjie, but in her mind, ordinary women, even if they have Cheng Junjie's child in their belly, should not marry Cheng Junjie.
From Li Mingyu's point of view, Cheng Junjie is the closed disciple of licocalypt, that is, the only seedling in the vein of licocalypt, and he is his own person in their circle.
Needless to say, as long as he can marry another person as his wife to complete the legendary marriage, then he will inevitably be able to become a candidate for certain positions.
There can never be only one group of people in a circle. There is a fight in the circle, Li Mingyu originally expected to turn Cheng Junjie into a friend or even a relative among his people through Liang Wenruo, but in the end she was disappointed.
When she left Cheng Junjie, there was only one word in her mouth that was so light that she couldn't even hear clearly: It's a pity.
Cheng Junjie insists on marrying a woman outside the circle, then he will forever lose the qualification to become the top person in the circle. In this life, no matter how good Cheng Junjie is, starting from some conventional rules in the circle, he will not be able to rise to the level of the provincial department in this life.
However, whether he is an official or not, whether it is Cheng Junjie in the past or Cheng Junjie now, in fact, he does not pay attention to it.
About a year ago, Cheng Junjie thought that the best state of life should be like this - sleep until 10 a.m., eat a hearty breakfast and lunch while watching a new American drama or Hollywood blockbuster until 1 p.m., and not be disturbed by Zhang Fangfang in between.
After half an hour of rest, I slept until half past two, then went out to play until 5 p.m., then came back for a lavish dinner, and after dinner I played games until 10 o'clock.
If there is a girl with white skin, beautiful temperament, long legs, thin waist and big breasts on the bed at this time, do an exercise, digest the contents of the stomach, get up after the exercise and continue to play games until 1 or 2 o'clock in the evening, and then sleep until 10 o'clock in the morning. Cycle.
Of course, the most important premise is that he doesn't have to go out to work to make such a cycle go by.
For most people, this kind of life can only be thought about when they are dreaming. However, now, when all the factors that are enough for Cheng Junjie to live like this are in place, he suddenly discovers that life should not be like this.
In the days after the holiday, Cheng Junjie got up at 7:30 a.m. every morning to cook, then accompanied Qin Jinxiu to go shopping on campus, and then sent Qin Jinxiu home to buy vegetables in the vegetable market by himself. Eat and read the books that Qin Jinxiu likes to listen to for the child in Qin Jinxiu's belly. In the afternoon, I practiced calligraphy, chatted with my wife, and went back to visit my parents on a day. When he returned in the evening, although there was a woman beside the bed who met all his aesthetic standards, he was careful not to touch it. I don't have to worry about my income every day, but I don't have the life I dreamed of 1 year ago.
The difference between men and boys is largely due to their sense of responsibility and restraint.
Cheng Junjie is now a real man. Qin Jinxiu and the child in her belly can testify to this.
As soon as February arrived, Nuanzhou City began to have a real New Year's flavor.
In the empty university town, children from nearby towns kept running in and setting off fireworks. At this time, unless the house is burned down somewhere, the police on duty in the university town will not care about such non-trivial matters.
On the windowsills of a few dozen households in the faculty dormitory, some wax chicken and bacon and red light colored balls are more or less hung, and there is always a faint smell of fireworks and dishes in the air, and I don't know where the sound of mahjong comes from night and night. Everyone's faces were full of joy, as if all the intrigue and dog-fly camp had suddenly disappeared at this moment. Even the most difficult people in their lives are starting to contribute to the CPI index at this time.
The general trend of not producing but only consuming makes Cheng Junjie feel as if he is lazy even with the bacteria and viruses around him.
On the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve, Cheng Junjie hugged Qin Jinxiu's waist, which had not thickened for more than a month, stood in front of the window, looking at the building of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine that had been completely renovated not far away at the highest point of the Nuanzhou City Medical College, that is, on a hill, turning off all the lights, and quietly watching the fireworks roaring into the sky in the courtyard downstairs.
The light emitted when the fireworks exploded shone on Qin Jinxiu's face, making her unconsciously show a happy smile.
"This time next year, take my son down and set off fireworks."
"Maybe it's a daughter."
Qin Jinxiu smiled and said, "Then you will still hold me like this at this time next year to watch the fireworks." ”
"Aren't you afraid of getting out of shape?"
"Don't you want me if you're out of shape?"
When Cheng Junjie heard this, he grinned: "Guess." ”
Qin Jinxiu pinched the flesh on Cheng Junjie's hand, and said coquettishly: "You dare!" ”
Cheng Junjie looked at Qin Jinxiu's rare delicate demeanor, and hurriedly surrendered: "Don't dare, don't dare, how can you give up!" ”
The two talked crookedly for a long time, and Cheng Junjie finally jumped out of a serious sentence.
"I'll take you home tomorrow morning, and it's okay not to let your uncle and aunt move here. Anyway, you'd better not go out these days, I'm especially afraid that something will happen to you as soon as I leave. ”
Qin Jinxiu nodded and agreed: "If you don't go out of the door, you can't step out of the second door, can you be a standard housemaid?" ”
Cheng Junjie said with a smile: "That's right, in the third-rate novels I used to read, the protagonist had an accident as soon as he left the heroine, which made me uneasy." ”
Qin Jinxiu turned his head and hugged Cheng Junjie, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry about doing your job, don't you go out of Nuanzhou City for the rest of your life!" The invitation letters from Yale and Cambridge have not yet arrived, and when you have a whim one day, I will accompany you to a foreign country to have a look. I'm so old that I haven't been out of the country yet......"
…… Early the next morning, Cheng Junjie sent Qin Jinxiu back to her home in the city center.
Qin Zhiyuan had long regarded Cheng Junjie as his uncle in his heart, but after seeing him send his daughter back, he couldn't help but be a little overjoyed.
Qin Jinxiu should not make a big move, so Cheng Junjie helped carry her the only box upstairs.
But this move fell in Qin Zhiyuan's eyes, but it was completely different - it was a county-level cadre who had just reached the age of 27 and was incredibly young, carrying luggage for his daughter!
Qin Jinxiu's mother, Ye Bangyu, is obviously also very satisfied with Cheng Junjie.
For her daughter to find such a man, she, as a mother, is happy from the bottom of her heart. The appearance is not outstanding, the body is not outstanding, but the stomach is filled with real materials. No matter where you go, you can still live a nourishing life. And the seemingly honest surname will definitely not make her daughter angry after marriage.
The mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, Ye Bangyu liked Cheng Junjie more and more, and the husband and wife pulled Cheng Junjie and talked for a long time, until Cheng Junjie said that his parents were still waiting at home, and then he reluctantly let him go.
As soon as Cheng Junjie left, Ye Bangyu, whose way of thinking was much more normal than her husband's, immediately asked Qin Jinxiu with concern: "Xiuxiu, are you ......?"
Qin Jinxiu nodded lightly, and Qin Zhiyuan on the side immediately couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and shouted, "Did Xiao Cheng say when he would get married?" ”
Qin Jinxiu looked at his father's ecstatic appearance, and felt a little depressed in his heart as if he was being sold by his father, but he still replied lightly: "When he finishes the New Year, he will go out once, and when he comes back, he will get engaged first." ”
"Why do you want to get engaged first?"
As soon as Qin Zhiyuan asked, Ye Bangyu immediately threw away his eyes and said unceremoniously: "If our daughter marries Xiaocheng now, both of them will have to be told to die." You still don't know who the old Ye family is in the Health Bureau? ”
After hearing this, Qin Zhiyuan opened his mouth wide as if he had an epiphany, and it took a long time to say: "Are you so unhappy that you forgot about it?" ”
"Look at your snobbery!" Ye Bangyu muttered dissatisfiedly, and said, "Hurry up and help me clean up the house, I have to go out to eat tonight!" You said that you booked somewhere, all the way to the outskirts of the city. ”
When Qin Zhiyuan heard this, he was immediately unhappy.
"Huh...... This Shangri-La has finally dropped to the civilian price this year, if it weren't for my level here, ordinary people wouldn't be able to book it! At this time of the day, the youngest person sitting inside is also a county-level leader......"
"Good! Good! If you can take what you can, don't you just book a table down, and as for this? ”
-- The traditional Chinese New Year's Eve dinner has gradually become a kind of group gathering, socializing, and leisure activity in cities such as Nuanzhou City, where economic development is good and people come and go frequently.
People no longer just call their closest relatives, set up a few tables at home to watch the Spring Festival Gala, while eating traditional food that they are usually tired of, people prefer to do is to book a few tables in the hotel, call as many relatives as possible, and welcome the New Year one night in advance.
As soon as Cheng Junjie got home, he saw Zhang Fangfang constantly looking back and forth in front of the mirror, changing the clothes he just bought this year one after another, and asked Cheng Jianguo if it was suitable.
Cheng Jianguo looked like he was about to go crazy, and as soon as he saw his son coming back, he immediately stepped forward to ask for help: "You show your mother." ”
Cheng Junjie looked at Zhang Fangfang, who was full of anticipation, casually took one from the bed and handed it to his mother, and said categorically: "Don't pick it, just this one." Who said it wasn't good-looking, I'd beat him to death! ”
Zhang Fangfang finally stopped.
The father and son didn't speak for a long time, and when they saw their father, Cheng Junjie finally couldn't help but quietly pull him over and whispered in his ear: "Dad, you're going to be a grandfather." ”
Cheng Jianguo was stunned, and immediately hugged Cheng Junjie heavily, his face was full of happiness, but he put his index finger in the middle of his lips and compared it in the direction of Zhang Fangfang.
Cheng Junjie nodded tacitly, and then asked, "Dad, where to eat at night?" ”
Cheng Jianguo said: "Your uncle ordered Shangri-La." ”
Cheng Junjie was stunned: "Why is it there again?" ”
