Chapter 16: Is This Like a Couple?
Although there was some strange sadness when parting, Cheng Yuan understood one thing, that is, he was really different from before, at least he had to say goodbye to the previous state where one person was fed and the whole family was not hungry, and he couldn't get by anymore, because he already had a doll that didn't exist when he left him.
In other words, while getting benefits, he also has more responsibilities, and the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, which is probably what it means.
"Hey, it's really troublesome, my lucky poor boy, although he got the inheritance of the strong, but he doesn't seem to have changed into the mentality of the strong, but then again, what is the mentality of the strong? It's a bit confusing. After saying something self-deprecating, Cheng Yuan shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.
After leaving the teahouse, he remembered his mother's notice, went to the supermarket first, bought some ready-made ingredients, fruits, drinks and other things, and then returned home.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw my mother who came over first, and she tried her best to give herself a look, which was very meaningful of the handover of the riddle of the underground party.
Nodding his head and giving the other party a reply that everything was done, Zhang Weihong breathed a sigh of relief, and then his face was full of smiles again: "Oh, look, my son is back, girl, we have delicious food at noon, don't look at my son's usual muffled, in fact, his cooking is delicious." ”
"Really? Then I'm going to have a good taste of his craftsmanship today. ”
Listening to this familiar voice, Cheng Yuan turned his head and found that a woman wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt and light blue thin jeans came from the back room, with a big ponytail on her head and flat shoes on her feet, but she still looked taller than herself.
"Oh, it's coming so soon." Cheng Yuan said with a smile.
"Quick?" Wen Jing blinked and said with a smile, "I've been waiting for you at your house for an hour and a half, it should be that you are too slow, it takes so long to buy a grocery store?" ”
"I ......"
"Oh, you don't know, girl." Before Cheng Yuan could speak, Zhang Weihong smiled first, "Actually, I asked him to choose things carefully, you know, nowadays, these vegetables and meats, especially in big cities, are all used for this essence and that medicine, and the safety surname is very problematic, so I asked him to buy good ones and go to a few more markets to pick them for a while, which delayed the time." ”
"Hey, you're really, you don't have to be so troublesome." Wen Jing's tone was complaining, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Okay, okay, now that I've bought the vegetables, Cheng Yuan, don't hurry up and cook!" Zhang Weihong said immediately.
"Okay, I'll go." Cheng Yuan nodded.
"Don't be so troublesome, I, I ......" Wen Jing said this, and suddenly blushed a little, "That, I haven't been in the kitchen much before, and I don't know how to cook, or I'll help wash the vegetables, right?" ”
"No need, let Cheng Yuan go alone." Zhang Weihong smiled and pulled Wen Jing's hand, "Oh, look at your hands, they are all thick, you must be very tired in the office, right?" Hey, I know that you public security officers are very tired, even if you sit in the office of the public security bureau as a clerk, you are more tired than the white-collar workers of other companies, so in the future, even if you let men do it well, women have to learn to take care of themselves. ”
"Well, the office clerk of the Public Security Bureau?" Hearing this, Cheng Yuan looked at Wen Jing and found that she had a wry smile on her face, so she didn't ask more, but picked up her things and went into the kitchen.
Most of the ingredients that Cheng Yuan bought were semi-finished ingredients, that is, he had already mixed and matched the materials according to a certain proportion, and when he went back, he put the things and seasonings in the pot and fried them, and it was a very good dish when he came out.
That's it, it didn't take much time, Kung Pao chicken, mapo tofu, fish-flavored shredded pork, braised cod, tomato and egg soup all came out, the typical four dishes and one soup, plus Zhang Weihong's already stuffy rice, just three people eat, more than enough.
Unexpectedly, when it was time to eat, Wen Jing made a difficulty, eating was small, and she barely moved, but Zhang Weihong's eyes were sharp, and he asked in advance: "Are you not used to eating spicy food?" ”
"This ...... Yes. Wen Jing generously admitted, "I can't eat spicy." ”
"Ahh Hearing this, Zhang Weihong immediately turned his face to criticize his son, "Knowing that your girlfriend can't eat spicy, you still make so many spicy food?" Patronizing you to eat alone? You, you, what are you good about! Won't you scruple about others? ”
"This ......" Cheng Yuan touched his nose and was silent, where did he know the taste of Wen Jing, he had only known each other for more than a day.
"It's all right, auntie, don't talk about him like that." Seeing this, Wen Jing hurriedly persuaded, "Actually, he, uh, doesn't care about my feelings, it's just, well, I ...... That's what I said, don't take care of me, eat whatever you want, don't wronged yourself for me. ”
"Listen, listen to what people have to say." Zhang Weihong continued to train his son, "Look at people, you care about people so well, look at you again, are you ashamed?" ”
"Shame!" Cheng Yuan honestly admits his mistakes.
"Humph!" After Zhang Weihong finished speaking, he turned his face to Wen Jing, and immediately turned cloudy and sunny, and said with a smile, "Xiaowen, you are still bright and generous, much better than my unpromising son, you should train him in the future, don't give me face!" This man, you have to take care of it, you can't pet it, that will spoil them. ”
"Huh?" Wen Jing smiled and looked at Cheng Yuan, who was eating rice in a sullen voice, and nodded with a smile, "I will, aunt." ”
"That's good, that's good." Zhang Weihong's face was full of eyebrows and smiles, and even the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes glowed, only to see her serve Wen Jing a meal, and said with a smile, "What, although my old man didn't come this time, but you see, it's not easy for me to come this way, this is far away, since you're here, why don't we find a time for the two adults to meet first?" Ah, don't worry, we're not urging you to do anything, it's just that the old people on both sides meet, so that the other party knows who their children are dating with, and what is the family situation of this person, so as not to worry about yourself, do you say this is the reason? ”
"Mom!" Cheng Yuan couldn't help it, "How can there be such a thing!" ”
"Eat your food, less and more mouths!" Zhang Weihong said with a glare.
After speaking, Zhang Weihong no longer paid attention to Cheng Yuan, but looked at Wen Jing and smiled: "What do you think, Xiaowen?" ”
"Well...... this" Wen Jing frowned and thought about it, and finally nodded lightly under the gaze of Cheng Yuan and Zhang Weihong, "Okay, that's it." ”
"Huh? You agreed, okay, then let's do it without further ado, how about tonight? Zhang Weihong said with a smile, "Tonight, our two families will have a meal and meet each other." ”
"Okay." Wen Jing smiled and nodded, "Then I'll inform my mother first, just tonight, well, I'll invite you." ”
"No, no, no, how can this cost you." Zhang Weihong hurriedly shook his head, "It must be that we invite, we invite." Well, even if you are in a big city and things are expensive, my son can have 134,000 a month, and he can still afford to have a meal. ”
"No, you're mistaken, aunt." Wen Jing smiled and shook her head, "I didn't mean that, but ...... Actually, my mother opened a restaurant, that, since it's a meal, there's no need to find another place to break the bank, right? ”
"Huh? So that's the case, that dare is good," Zhang Weihong was full of flashes of happiness, "Hehe, okay, it's decided, come on, eat, eat!" ”
The meal was eaten so lively, and after eating, while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Cheng Yuan whispered to Wen Jing, who came to help, "How can you agree to this?" ”
"No way, didn't you see your mother's ...... eyes at that time" Wen Jing smiled bitterly, "Moreover, I also thought about it, my mother also urged it, didn't the two of us meet for this at that time?" Something happened in the middle, but the end result was the same, wasn't it? ”
"Okay, that's right, too." Cheng Yuan agreed, "However, what my mother said just now, what's the matter with the clerk in the office of the Public Security Bureau?" ”
"I'm not trying to lie to her." Wen Jing whispered, "When I came over before, she pulled me to talk, first talking about your childhood......
"What, what happened when I was a kid?" Cheng Yuan's eyes widened.
"Hehe, don't worry, I won't publicize your previous glorious deeds, for example, when you were five years old, you still wet the bed, when you were six years old, you said that you wanted to marry a girl in the same class, and when you were seven years old, you ran away from home, and you came back hungry after walking for half a day...... Hee-hee. ”
“……”
"Okay, I won't tease you," Wen Jing smiled slightly, "Actually, later she asked me about my job, and I said that I worked in the Public Security Bureau, and then she said that the Public Security Bureau was good, a civil servant, stable, and said to herself that she also knew a woman, and she also worked as a clerk in the Public Security Bureau in her hometown, and she was usually very idle, but unfortunately she was not a regular civil servant, and then asked me if I was officially making up, and I said yes, she said that I was promising, and I could be admitted to the civil service in a big city, and the welfare treatment must be very good...... Hehe, you say this situation, what else can I say? ”
"This, then you didn't explain to her later, are you actually a criminal policeman, or a scarce breed of Interpol?"
"What a scarce variety, so ugly." Wen Jing shook her head, "It's not that I don't want to say it, but your mother, she's so good at saying it, I can't interject at all." Besides, since she has a preconceived idea that I am a clerk, it means that she likes this kind of work and meets her psychological expectations, so she subconsciously thinks that I am, so in order to prevent her from adding to the blockage, I simply don't tell the truth, misunderstanding is misunderstanding, after all, it's all acting, isn't it. ”
"Well, that's fine." Cheng Yuan nodded.
"By the way, it's almost time, I should go back." Wen Jingdao, who set up the dishes and chopsticks.
"Oh, you're home, then? Or back to the unit? Do you need me to send you ......" As soon as he said this, Cheng Yuan laughed at himself, "Look at what I said, I don't have a car, where can I say that I will send you, and besides, you are a policeman, if something really happens, maybe who will protect whom." ”
"Hehe, then you don't have to say that." Wen Jing said this, and stuck out her tongue slightly, "Actually, I went back to the hospital, you forgot, I ran out of the hospital secretly, and I haven't gone through the discharge procedures yet...... By the way, speaking of which, do you have something to do in the afternoon? ”
"This, it's really something, what's wrong?"
"Of course, we discussed it in advance." Wen Jing whispered, "I came too hastily this time, you see you don't even know what I like to eat, I don't know if you like spicy food, is this like a couple?" Fortunately, it's only your mother, and your mother's surname is more bold, so she doesn't care about these, but my mother is not so easy to fool, if we don't communicate in advance, this matter will be troublesome tonight, it's easy to get into trouble, you don't know, my mother is a thief and a shrewd. ”
"That's right." Cheng Yuan thought for a while, then looked back at his mother who was watching TV, "I understand, well, I'll say I'll go out with you later, and then ...... To be honest, I really have something to do in the afternoon. In this way, you can go back to the hospital to do your business first, and I will do my business, and when I finish my own business, I will call you again, and then we will discuss the dinner in the evening, okay? ”
"Well, that's a deal!"
