"I'm finally full."

Hou Zhengdong put down the chopsticks in his hand, burped, took out a cigarette and lit it and took a puff, glanced at Peng Huiming, who was sitting opposite, and smiled apologetically, "Huiming, I'm sorry to make you laugh, I'm really a little hungry today." ”

"It's nothing, everyone is hungry sometimes."

Peng Huiming smiled, "Actually, the ancestors of our Peng family are not a big family, and the current qiē is all worked hard by my grandfather and his brothers, compared with those aristocratic and wealthy families, the background of our Peng family is still very far behind." ”

"So, don't treat me like someone else, I'm just an ordinary girl, I also have to spend money, and I also need to work to make money, it's just that the family is strict with me."

Hou Zhengdong smiled and nodded, the Peng family's prestige in Kokang is so high, not only because Peng Jiafu punched out the status of the Kokang Special Economic Zone, but also because Peng Jiafu is very strict with family control.

"Let's go, it's time to get the birthday cake."

Hou Zhengdong smiled, snuffed out the cigarette on his finger and stood up, "Those friends of yours didn't come, it seems that I have a good mouth tonight." ”

Peng Huiming didn't speak, she stood up silently, and she could see that she was not in a good mood.

The two took the cake and silently returned to the Peng family's old house.

However, back at Peng's house, Peng Huiming still got a big surprise, her grandfather Peng Jiafu even took the time to light a birthday candle for her, and the family ate cake happily.

Peng Huiming took a shower and returned to the room, Hao Ran found that her mother was already sitting on the edge of her bed, holding a photo album in her hand and slowly flipping through it, and couldn't help but be stunned, "Mom, why are you here?" ”

"Silly girl, I'm your mother, can't I come to your room."

Peng Huiming's mother looked at the photos in her hand without raising her head, "Looking at these photos, I always feel that you are still young, and I can't imagine that you are so big in a blink of an eye." ”

Her voice paused, "By the way, girl, how is your relationship with that Bojie, I can see that he has a crush on you." ”

Bao Jie is the grandson of Bao Yongxing, the chairman of the Second Special Zone of Chanbang, and has always liked Peng Huiming, and will come to Lao Cai from time to time to play with her, Peng Huiming is not a fool, on the contrary, she is a very smart girl, for Bao Jie's pursuit, Peng Huiming naturally knows it, but she doesn't have that feeling for Bao Jie, so she simply pretends not to understand Bao Jie's mind.

"Mom, what are you talking about, Bojie and I are just ordinary friends." Peng Huiming frowned, paused slightly, sneered, and threw the towel that was rubbing her hair in her hand, "Moreover, this guy is the same for me, He Yilan, and other girls." ”

"Bao Jie is a big carrot, he has changed several girlfriends, and last time he was complacent and said that there was a toast's granddaughter who liked him, he felt that people were too dark, and he laughed at the toad who wanted to eat swan meat."

Peng Huiming's small lips turned upwards beautifully, "With his virtue, he still claims to be a swan, if he wasn't born in the Bao family, he is afraid that he won't even be able to support himself, and he is embarrassed to laugh at others." ”

"Oh, and do you have a favorite boy?"

Peng's mother closed the photo album in her hand, raised her head and glanced at Peng Huiming, "You are a girl after all, you can't devote your life's experience to the liberation struggle of the Kokang nation like your grandfather, you have to live the life of a normal woman, I talked to your grandfather about this." ”

"Mom, what did Grandpa say?"

Peng Huiming's heart jumped, she knew the experience of the grandfathers in the family for so many years, she didn't want to have a life like theirs, a person's life is limited, and fighting for the rights and interests of Kokang people is an infinite journey with no hope.

Moreover, she is just a woman, a little woman.

Peng's mother didn't speak, she raised her head with a smile and glanced at Peng Huiming, "Girl, you are happy, today on your birthday, there is a friend who has traveled thousands of miles to celebrate your birthday, when I met your father, we were holding a broken gun all over the mountain all day long, this minute we were still holding each other's hands, and the next minute I didn't know who was still alive in the world." ”

"Mom, what do you say, Hou Zhengdong went to Kachin State to handle work."

Peng Huiming's pretty face flushed, twisted her waist slightly, and there was a wave in her chest, "It's not specifically for my birthday, besides, he also wants me to accompany him to Lashio, this guy is just using these things to please me and let me help him." ”

"Silly girl, my mother was also young."

Peng's mother smiled, "Hou Zhengdong is Cheng Mingjun's plenipotentiary representative, and there are more people who are willing to cooperate with Cheng Mingjun, as long as Hou Zhengdong releases the news, let alone our Kokang Special Zone, even there are people in the Kachin Special Zone who are willing to be his guide, why did he just choose you?" ”

"That's because Hou Zhengdong and I are friends."

Peng Huiming looked down at her toes, her hands twisted together, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her mother was reasonable, and her voice gradually lowered.

"Silly boy, opportunities are always for those who are prepared."

Peng's mother smiled, "Your grandfather has told me just now, he asked you to accompany Hou Zhengdong to Lashio during this time, until Hou Zhengdong has dealt with the affairs of the casino, and then you will come back." ”

"Hou Zhengdong is indeed a very good young man, he is also handsome, and he is also a very smart boy, your grandfather is full of praise for him."

"Child, some opportunities are only once in life, and if you miss them, you won't have them again, you have to think about it carefully."

Peng Huiming snorted softly in her nose, and in front of her mother, the only trace of shyness in her heart gradually faded, and instead she wanted to find someone to talk to and listen to her opinions, now that her mother knows, she naturally no longer has any scruples.

"Mom, I do like him a little bit." Peng Huiming raised her head and glanced at her mother, the thumb and index finger of her right hand were tightly pinched together, and then the index finger was gently raised upward, "Mom, a little bit, just a little bit." ”

Peng's mother laughed silently, "Silly girl, whether it's a little or a lot, as long as you like him in your heart, then use the place to pursue, for so many years, our bold children can even give their lives in pursuit of liberation, what else can we not do for our love." ”

"Remember Mom's words, some opportunities may only be available once in a lifetime, and if you miss them, you won't have them again."

"Mom, but he already has a girlfriend."

Peng Huiming's big eyes blinked, and she almost burst into tears.

"Silly girl, what's this, you can snatch him over."

Peng's mother smiled, "If you can't grab it, you can also live together, it's normal for a man here in Myanmar to have several wives." ”

Peng Huiming was stunned when she heard this.
