Chapter 18: Thank You
Pan Xiangdong greeted Wang Li warmly: "Ah, isn't this Uncle Cai's cousin, why are you free, come here, hurry up, come in and sit." ”
Zhong Zijing secretly restrained the evil qi on his body, and secretly glared at Pan Xiangdong again, what are you doing so enthusiastically, your wife and son are still watching outside.
Crossing Pan Xiangdong Zhongzi and saluting Wang Li, he smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Hello, are you okay when you go home that day?" ”
Wang Li looked at Zhong Zijing gratefully and said: "Thank you, I'm fine, I listened to what my cousin said, that day in the county hospital, if you hadn't helped me make it clear, now the people from that Baomei's family would definitely have to go to my house for trouble." ”
Zhong Zijing looked at Wang Li with a smile, and said in his heart that you have to really thank you, just make a promise with your body, but you are polite: "Thank you, I just told the truth of the matter, not to say that I am a soldier, tell the truth and do practical things, even ordinary people, I will do this when I encounter this situation." By the way, we went to the county seat that day, and her grandmother didn't continue to trouble you, right? ”
As he spoke, he let Wang Li into the room and asked her to sit down, looking like a master, Pan Xiangdong watched him smile at the little girl like a flower, and he didn't mind the fact that he was forgotten, and quietly slid the wheelchair to the wall to observe carefully.
Wang Li followed Zhong Zijing to sit at the table, and said with gratitude on her face: "After you left that day, it is estimated that her grandmother also had a treasure sister in her heart, and she left with her, and she didn't make trouble at my cousin's house anymore." As he spoke, his face was full of fear: "I was really scared to death at that time, and besides, I heard my cousin say that Grandma still went to their house to make trouble at night, if it wasn't for the fact that you and Uncle Pan came back and went to her house to inform her, Grandma didn't know when she was going to make trouble." ”
Zhong Zijing smiled more and more kindly: "When I came back, I was worried that the grandmother would continue to make trouble, so I went to your cousin's house with Uncle Pan again, fortunately, it was timely, but after you went home, it was okay, the little girl in the winter was frozen like that, but it was not good, what can your parents say." ”
Wang Li smiled very sweetly, and said happily: "I told my parents, my parents scolded me, saying that I shouldn't be reckless and run down to save people, others didn't save themselves and drowned, I said that in fact, you saved people, so I just paddled on the side." And as soon as I got home, my mother cooked me brown sugar and ginger water, and it didn't freeze. ”
Zhong Zijing is relieved, girl, at this age, if you freeze, you will suffer, and he looked at Wang Li's smile like a flower, and said in his heart, her parents treat him well, even if he is in the army all the year round, he also knows that in the countryside in this year, brown sugar is something that only a woman in confinement can eat a few bites, and her parents are willing to give her food, which is already very good.
He didn't know how soft his face was, Wang Li looked at his face, and the inexplicable fear that had been caused by his black face when he first opened the door was gone, and Pan Xiangdong on the wall was so surprised that he began to believe the rumors - Zhong Zijing is really a pedophile.
Zhong Zijing then asked her: "I think you are very good at water, do you usually swim often?" ”
Wang Li's face froze, and she said in her heart, this swimming thing is really a trouble, but in the end, she still made an embarrassed appearance and said: "I learned from my brother, and my parents usually don't allow it, so I scolded them well this time." ”
Zhong Zijing hurriedly comforted: "It's good to be able to swim, no one knows what will happen in the future, and when it comes to a critical moment, isn't it a life-saving skill." Then he said: "It's normal for your parents to be worried, they are probably afraid that you can swim and you are not afraid of anything, you know, good swimmers drown, you can't rush forward with anything because you can swim, aren't you like this that day, if I'm not mistaken, you couldn't hold your breath at that time, but you were still tossing under the water, and you didn't know how to float to the water to change your breath first." ”
The more he spoke, the stricter he became, looking at what Wang Li said to him, he stepped down his face, and had the heart to let it go, but he was worried that this girl would encounter this kind of thing in the future and do it regardless of it, so he continued to say to her ruthlessly: "If you continue to do this in the future, if you don't say anything else, just like that day, what if something happens to you yourself in the end?" Your parents raised you so big, you have to think about your parents before you do things, how uncomfortable it will be for white-haired people to send black-haired people. ”
Wang Li said to him lower and lower, the smug that originally came from saving people is all gone, yes, she plans to let go if she can't save it, but if it weren't for Brother Zhong's help in this follow-up, she really wouldn't be a good person.
Therefore, whatever Zhongzi Jing said at this time, she nodded and listened honestly. Whether this person is really good to her or not, she can tell.
Zhong Zijing said this, seeing that Wang Li only nodded, and there was no sadness on her face, but she looked like you were right, which made him very satisfied, not afraid of people being bold, but afraid that people would not listen to persuasion, although this girl is sometimes a little bolder, but it is better to listen to people, especially to listen to his persuasion.
However, for her sake, you can't leave her here for too long, there are already those unreliable rumors, and you can know who they are talking about if you inquire carefully, this is really going to stay with her for too long, and it is not good for her reputation.
So, he asked, "Where do you live?" Are you still coming alone? When will I go back? Do you have company to go back? I don't think the past two days have been very peaceful, should I let someone give you a ride? ”
Wang Li came to her senses at this time, and hurriedly excused herself and said: "Ah, no need, my house is in the Wang family's cottage eight miles away from here, and it will be there in an hour, this road is safe, where to send it, I won't bother you, thank you so much." It's not early, I'm leaving, goodbye. ”
stood up and was about to say goodbye, and saw Pan Xiangdong sitting in a wheelchair by the wall, still wondering why there were more people in the room, so he nodded and smiled at him, and hurriedly left.
Zhong Zijing walked to the door, sent her out, and then came back.
Pan Xiangdong rubbed his chin with one hand, pointed at the armrest of the wheelchair with the other, frowned and looked at Zhong Zijing and said, "You, are you serious?" ”
While talking, he disagreed: "You know the situation in your family." This girl is pretty, but she's just pretty, don't talk to me about love at first sight or anything like that. ”
Zhong Zijing returned to the table and sat down, raised his hand and poured a cup of tea from the teapot on the table, not caring that the tea water had been soaked to tasteless, holding the tea bowl with a missing mouth, taking a sip to moisten his lips.
He listened to Pan Xiangdong's words, thought about it carefully and said, "You can say that it is love at first sight." You also know that over the years, since I was an adult, my family has never stopped introducing women to me, that is, it has been better in the past few years on the battlefield, but the last time we were recuperating in the hospital, they also arranged for all kinds of doctors and nurses to give me stitches. ”
The more he spoke, the more distressed he became: "I don't mind my parents helping me introduce people, no matter what, they all want me to have a good life, but unfortunately, there are so many women, I look at them like I see the soldiers in the battalion." ”
Pan Xiangdong was dumbfounded: "You mean, you see those women the same as you see the soldiers in our battalion?" This, this, this"
He really didn't mean to repeat his words, it's really too joking, can a woman look at it as a man? He looked at Zhong Zijing suspiciously, could it be that this kid did it on purpose? Or does he have a hobby of peaches? But I haven't seen him in the camp for so many years, which one of them is special? So this time he took a fancy to the little girl just now, is it real or fake? Suddenly figured out something, he pointed at Zhong Zijing in surprise and whispered, "Brother, are you really a pedophile?" ”
Zhongzi was respectful: "What pedophile? When did I become a pedophile? ”
Pan Xiangdong said with a disdainful face: "That little girl just now." ”
Zhong Zijing rolled his eyes and said, "That girl is also fourteen or fifteen years old, and she was already able to marry before liberation." What's more, I don't look at other girls of this age, but I don't have any ideas. ”
Seeing that Pan Xiangdong still looked disapproving, he explained: "After all these years, this girl is the only one I want." We're all men, you know what that means, and since I've had a hard time wanting it, I'm going to have to get it. ”
Pan Xiangdong still didn't let go: "But, what about your family? Do you think your parents and sisters will approve of you marrying a girl from such a background? You are the only seedling in your family, and even if your family agrees, how do you make the little girl adapt to the gap between the two families? ”
Pan Xiangdong irritably turned the wheelchair around and said: "Besides, you are also twenty-six, but you are almost one round older than that girl, and when the little girl can get married, you are thirty years old, and it is one thing whether the girl's parents are willing or not." Besides, you are still far away in the world, and you don't even have a chance to get along with a girl, how can you make a girl agree? ”
Zhong Zijing's face darkened and said: "These are indeed big problems, so I sent a telegram to my mother in the morning to ask her not to introduce me to someone recently, I found a suitable one myself, and when I ask for leave for the New Year, I will go home and solve the problems at home." As for this,"
He looked at Pan Xiangdong pleadingly: "I still need your help." ”
When Pan Xiangdong heard Zhong Zijing say that he had sent a telegram to his family, he knew that he couldn't stop this brother, so he also said: "Yes, I can help you keep an eye on the news here, but I can't help you with how to chase people," he smiled narrowly: "Otherwise, your sister-in-law will find me desperately." ”
Zhong Zijing smiled indifferently: "Don't worry, at this stage, I only need you to help me spread the news, if my family's problems are not solved, I will not come to pursue her." He narrowed his eyes, but in his heart he was bound to win the little girl.
Leng Buding Pan asked Xiangdong with bad intentions: "By the way, what is your little girl's name?" ”
Zhong Zijing's face immediately fell.
It's really a pot that can't be opened.
