Chapter 52: It's better not to
Xin Gan couldn't go back, and told Shen Ruxin about the general situation, and Shen Ruxin on the other end of the phone groaned for a while and said, "Xin Xin, how do you feel about him?" β
Xin Gan didn't expect Shen Ruxin to suddenly ask like this, and was stunned for a few seconds, and said, "I don't feel anything." β
"Xinxin, can't you tell me the truth?"
Xin Gan sighed softly: "Cousin, I don't want to get married so soon, and Cheng Ji and I are not suitable." β
Shen Ruxin said: "When I contacted Cheng Ji in the morning to ask him to help find you, I felt that he was very attentive, of course, this is my feeling, mainly depends on you." β
Afraid of arousing Xin Gan's rebellious feelings, Shen Ruxin expressed it very tactfully.
Xin Gan didn't say a word, was silent for more than ten seconds, walked to the window, opened the window and looked at the night outside, she looked down and saw Cheng Yan's car parked in the yard, his car was still there, which meant that he hadn't left yet.
"Cousin, Uncle Cheng is coming to Beiyu to see Cheng Ji, I have to stay for a few days, and I can't go back for the time being."
Shen Ruxin nodded: "I know what you have to say, auntie, I'll explain, you take care of yourself first, by the way, don't go out if you're not feeling well, just rest in the house, take care of your body first, if you really can't go to the hospital, don't be afraid of trouble, don't go to the hospital." β
"Well, I got my cousin."
Cheng Ji didn't leave immediately, got in the car and sat for about ten minutes, and saw that the lights upstairs were turned off, so he drove away.
It would be too late, Shen Ruxin didn't call to tell Xin's mother at this time, but called to tell Xin's mother the next day, Xin's mother said on the phone: "What's the matter, I'll come back for a while and won't come back for a while, is there something happened with Cheng Zhen?" β
Shen Ruxin was afraid that Xin's mother would think too much, and explained: "No, Xin Xin is so good-tempered, she won't be unpleasant with others." β
Xin's mother sighed and said, "Ruxin, don't say these good words to comfort me, don't I know Xin Xin's character?" Anything is hidden in my heart and not told to us. β
"It's really okay, auntie, don't worry about it, and don't you have me to check it, I will often contact Xin Xin, chat with her, ask her about the situation, don't worry."
"Then you look at it more, and tell us anything about it."
Shen Ruxin comforted Xin's mother and hung up the phone, her palms were sweaty.
β¦β¦
Cheng's father arrived at the airport on the afternoon of the next day, and Cheng Ji didn't have time to pick it up, so he asked Xiao Shi to pick it up.
Xiao Shi is also nervous, this is the first time he has seen Cheng Jiu's family, Cheng Jiu has been to Beiyu for so many years, and his family has never come to visit, and he doesn't like to talk about his family, so Xiao Shi and they don't know much about the situation at Cheng Jiu's family, and it is even more unclear that he has a fiancΓ©e.
Cheng's father came here for another purpose, he said something from Xiao Shi's mouth on the way, Xiao Shi saw Cheng's father exuding a majestic aura, and he couldn't stand Cheng's father digging a pit in a circle to make him jump, he told Cheng's father the general situation.
Cheng's father is a human being, and he inquired about the news as soon as he came, especially about Cheng Ji and Xin Gan.
Cheng Yan didn't return to the team until nine o'clock in the evening, and as soon as he came back, he heard Xiao Shi say that Cheng's father was in the cafeteria and was chatting with Senator Meng.
Senator Mengββ
Cheng Yan gave Xiao Shi the car keys and asked him to park, and he hurriedly went to the cafeteria.
Cheng's father and Meng Shen are old acquaintances, when Cheng Yan came to Beiyu after graduation, he had different opinions, and felt that Cheng Ji should have a better choice, instead of coming to a place like Beiyu, which would not be of good help to him for promotion in the future, because he did not lack this experience.
And Cheng's father and Senator Meng knew each other before, Cheng Ji is not clear, but Sendam Meng clearly knows whose son Cheng Ji is.
Cheng Yan walked into the cafeteria, and saw Counselor Meng and Cheng's father from afar, the two of them were sitting there drinking tea, and they didn't know what to talk about, so they slapped the table happily.
When Senator Meng saw Cheng Yan first, he beckoned him to come over from afar.
Cheng's father also saw him when he turned around, and when he got closer, he asked, "Where is Xin Gan?" β
Counselor Meng didn't know what the situation was, so he asked, "What heart?" β
Cheng's father explained: "Xin Gan, his girlfriend, is about to get married, and that girl also came to Beiyu some time ago. β
Counselor Meng slapped Cheng Yan on the shoulder: "Good boy, you hide it so deeply, when did it happen, why didn't I know?" β
Father Cheng glanced at Cheng Zhen, who didn't speak, and said, "What are you pretending to be deep and talking, what about the girl?" β
Cheng Yan said: "I'm resting. β
Staff Chief Meng was interested and kept asking them about it.
Cheng Yan didn't say anything, and sat with Cheng's father, but he didn't talk to Cheng's father, and Cheng's father didn't pay much attention to him, but chatted with Senator Meng.
The relationship between the two fathers and sons was not as good as he thought, and Counselor Meng saw the clues, and was interested in Cheng Jiu's girlfriend, so he wanted to know what kind of girl could make his 10,000-year-old iron tree blossom and bear fruit.
Xin Gan's name is actually quite interesting, heart-to-heart, Staff Chief Meng remembered it at once, and even asked Cheng Yan when he would make a report, he was waiting to drink the wine.
Cheng Ji didn't answer positively, but Cheng's father replied happily: "It's almost fast, it's going to be soon." β
"You kid, we haven't seen each other for so many years, I didn't expect your son to become my subordinate, you came and brought such good news, it seems that this is all fate."
Cheng's father clinked glasses with him with tea instead of wine, and said: "I'm also happy, this kid hasn't stopped since he was a child, I just wait for him to get married, and then give birth to a big fat grandson, I have no regrets in my life." β
"Out of breath, how can a man only have this little ambition!"
Cheng Zhen was drinking tea on the side, and he didn't talk to him, and when the two of them finished renewing the old one, and Staff Meng had left beforehand, he said, "You know Meng and Meng Shen?" β
Cheng's father said: "I used to be a comrade-in-arms and colleague, but then he was transferred, and I was also transferred to other places, and I never saw him again." β
Cheng Ji took a cigarette and handed it to him, "Do you smoke?" β
"Don't smoke, your mother will be angry when she finds out."
"She's not there, I don't say it, no one knows."
"You're like this, from childhood to adulthood, with a bad stomach."
Cheng Zhen hooked the corners of his mouth, noncommittal.
Father Cheng squinted, but still took the cigarette he handed over, and said, "What are you doing when you call me over?" You don't get along well with Xingan? β
Cheng Zhen smiled and didn't speak.
"I know how to laugh, look at this is what I said? What did you do to provoke that girl? You need to call me over. β
Cheng Yan said: "Dad, do you want to hold your grandson?" β
"Are you talking about human beings? Which one you ask doesn't want to be a daddy? Or do you want to give me a bachelor? I can tell you, don't even think about it, other girls take the initiative to come here to find you, and they are not afraid of hard work, what kind of moth do you want to do for me? β
Cheng Zhen was not in a hurry, he slowly lit a cigarette, took a puff, and then said, "If you want to hold your grandson, Dad, you have to listen to me." β
Cheng's father raised his eyebrows: "You still threaten me?" β
Cheng Zhen didn't speak again.
Cheng's father said that he deliberately sold Guanzi, and couldn't help but say a few words to him.
Cheng Zhen didn't take it to heart.
β¦β¦
Xin Gan met Cheng's father on the third day of living in the family home, and Cheng's father was kind and very talkative to his future daughter-in-law.
Cheng Ji was busy with work and had something to do, so he didn't stay long before leaving.
Instead, Father Cheng saw the redness and swelling on Xin Gan's face and said, "What's wrong with your face?" β
Xingan said, "Hello uncle, I have allergies. β
"Did you apply the medicine?"
"Smeared."
"How can it be so serious? But also, this is a plateau, the environment is not good, and it is normal for you to be unaccustomed to it when you just come. β
Xin Gan nodded, didn't speak, the atmosphere was a little subtlely awkward, Cheng Ji was not there, and she didn't know how to chat with Cheng's father.
Cheng's father also felt that the atmosphere was wrong, he knew that it would be good to bring Cheng Hui over, the girl was smart, young and young, mainly thick-skinned, would find topics, and there was no generation gap between girls and girls, there were common topics to talk about, and he was a bad old man, and he was caught by Cheng Hui halfway to act as a strict parent, this task is somewhat brain-consuming.
Cheng's father held his knees with his hands, sat on the sofa, watched TV for a while, and asked, "How are you dealing with Cheng during this time?" β
He is an elder, and there are too few topics to talk about, so he can only ask about her and Cheng Jiu.
And Cheng Zhen called him over, also because of this matter, Cheng Zhen didn't know what to say, and he also guessed that most of them provoked other girls and made other girls unhappy.
Xingan said, "It's okay, it's okay." β
Her tone was full of uncertainty, and instead she remembered what Cheng Yan said, if you want to get in touch with marriage, you have to take your time, if the relationship between the two families is not harmonious, this is not what the two of them want to see.
Thinking of this, Xingan added: "Cheng Ji is very good to me, and others are also very good. β
"You don't have to praise him with your conscience, he is my son, I don't understand it yet? This kid has a bad stomach, of course, it's not bad in the real sense, it's just that he has a lot of eyes and a lot of attention, and he doesn't obey, he came to Beiyu when he came, I don't know, I'm still the last one to know. β
Speaking of Cheng Jiu, Cheng's father has more topics.
Xin Gan didn't understand either, so he followed Cheng's father's words and asked, "Why?" β
"He has a general relationship with me, I have been demanding of him since I was a child, and strict, I am busy with work, I am not at home all the year round, he is not familiar with me, or I have not been so busy in the past few years, and he has grown up and sensible, and the relationship is a little better than before." Father Cheng sighed earnestly.
Xin Gan really didn't know Cheng Jiu's family situation, and she wouldn't say comforting words, so she got up and poured tea for Cheng's father, saying: "Uncle, I just told the truth, Cheng Ju is very good, I don't hide it, I have heard about Cheng Ju before, saying that he is very naughty and has done a lot of bad things, I didn't have a good impression of him at the time, I think he is the same as those bad children in our hospital, and I actually realized later that boys were very naughty when they were young, he was really not bad, and he is very good now." β
β¦β¦
Cheng Ji spent the whole day thinking about what Xin Gan and Cheng's father would talk about, which led to some absent-mindedness, but he quickly controlled his emotions again, he went to the hospital for a recheck, and was still escorted to the hospital by Chief Meng Shen.
When Senator Meng saw that Cheng Yan's father was there last night, he didn't mention his injury in person, because he seemed to be fine, but the next day, when he got the opportunity, he took him to the hospital for an examination.
Cheng Ji honestly cooperated with the doctor's examination under the watchful eye of Staff Meng, and after a tedious examination, the doctor said that there was no problem, and then Staff Officer Meng was relieved, patted him on the back of the head again, and said: "You be honest, don't give me all those who have and don't, if you don't keep your life, there will be one more person who will cry at that time." β
He's talking about Xingan.
Cheng Ji smiled easily and said, "My life is big." β
Counselor Meng cut off.
The two of them walked out of the hospital one after the other, Cheng Ji was about to drive, but was stopped by Chief Meng Shen, and he asked, "How many of the fish heads have been caught?" β
"There are a few more that haven't been caught."
"You have to do it as soon as possible, if these people don't finish catching them sooner, they will still make a mess and do things."
Cheng said that he knew and would continue to follow up.
Senator Meng turned to the driver's seat, meaning that he was going to drive himself.
Cheng Ji didn't stop him, and got into the passenger seat.
Senator Meng also asked him: "Are you sure it has stabilized?" What does the girl do at home? β
"Scholarly families, parents are engaged in literary and artistic creation."
"Then when are you going to make a marriage report?"
Counselor Meng asked, and the answer he got made him feel at ease, if they want to get married, they have to make a marriage report, and the woman's family must be reviewed, and there is no problem before it can be approved.
The requirements are quite strict.
But Cheng Yan didn't answer a specific time, and Counselor Meng glanced at him and said, "What's the matter, didn't you say that it's all confirmed?" β
Cheng said: "It will be as soon as possible." β
"Don't make any moths, if you are really sure, settle down first, don't wait for her to leave with the others, if you cry again, it will be too late to regret the green intestines."
Cheng Zhen tugged at the corners of his mouth, his expression was a little contemptuous, he concluded that he would not have such a day, and he would not allow this kind of thing to happen.
β¦β¦
Cheng Ji returned to the family home and called Cheng's father in advance, and Cheng's father said that he would come back after eating.
Cheng Zhen closed the door and said: "Are you cooking?" β
"How is that possible?"
"Who's that?"
"Cafeteria."
Cheng Jiu: "......"
Cheng's father stayed in the family home at night, and he temporarily cleaned up a room.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Cheng Zhen knocked on the door, Xin Gan came to open the door, she had just taken a bath, the redness and swelling on her face did not go away much, she was wearing pajamas, it was cold at night, and she also put on a coat.
It seems to be scented with shower gel.
Cheng Yan swallowed his throat and said, "Can I go in?" β
Xingan nodded, sideways and let him in.
Cheng Yan entered the room and asked, "What did my father tell you?" β
"It's nothing."
"Nothing?"
Xingan thought for a moment, "Say that when you were a child, you climbed trees to dig birds' eggs, went down to the river to catch fish, and wet your pants and wet the bed. β
Cheng Jiu: "......" He turned around, licked the root of his teeth, and smiled, "How did I not know that I played with these when I was a child?" β
"I'm talking nonsense." Xingan closed the door, "Do you want to drink water?" β
"No, I'll leave in a moment."
Xingan was keenly aware that his sentence was not so simple, "Where are you going?" β
Cheng Yan said: "If there is action, it will take ten days. β
ββ¦β¦β
Ten days?
So what does she do?
Xin Gan pursed the corners of his lips, and suddenly looked at him with a pair of pupils staring at him.
Cheng Yan said: "My dad will leave after a few days, just deal with it casually, and tell Xiao Shi if you have anything." β
Xingan shook his hand, released it again, and hung it down to his side, "Are you perfunctory to me?" β
Cheng Yan smiled angrily, and his tone was light: "Why am I perfunctory to you?" β
"Okay, when my uncle is gone, I can also go......"
Cheng Yan looked down at her, his eyes were vague, and his thin lips were pursed into a line: "Xin Gan, you just want to leave like that?" β
"Yes."
Cheng Yan took a deep breath, wanting to make himself speak so coldly, "Are you sincerely angry with me?" β
Xin Gan didn't like the feeling of being fiddled with by him, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold on to her psychological defense, so she reminded herself again and again of her original purpose, and she couldn't forget it, even if she had to admit that Cheng Ji did have some places that attracted her attention.
But this kind of man is very troublesome, and once he gets involved, it will be difficult to get out easily.
Today, when Cheng's father talked to her about Cheng Yan when he was a child, she had a little change in her heart about him, and she even took the initiative to ask Cheng's father about Cheng Yan's childhood, of course, she regretted it after asking.
So it's better to stay away from it in the first place, don't touch it, and don't give it a chance.
And there is also a Jiang Tang eyeing her, she doesn't want to get into trouble.
Cheng Zhen didn't understand her twists and turns, and his intuition was that she must have wanted to clear up the relationship because of He Cheng.
He Chuan said that it didn't matter, but seeing her like this, it wasn't that it didn't matter, but it was related, so she wanted to leave.
"I didn't mean that," said Xingan. β
Her cold attitude made Cheng Yan hold his breath, and he left without saying anything.
Xingan also had no strength, and sat on the sofa with her buttocks, clutching her chest, a little uncomfortable.
Xiao Shi passed by the training ground, and saw someone running from afar, and the figure he saw through the street lamp was Cheng Jiu's, so he watched from the side, counting how many kilometers Cheng Ji ran.
Cheng Ji seemed to be tired, and he didn't know how long he had been running, and he was sweating before he stopped.
Xiao Shi took the opportunity to come up and said with a hippie smile: "Brother Jiu, how about running alone at night?" β
Cheng Yan glanced at him.
"Brother Jiu, what are you doing? So hot? β
Cheng Zhen finally spoke: "I look hot? β
"Wang, Wang, not good, burning, just like those men who want to be dissatisfied."
ββ¦β¦β
Xiao Shi knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he had to come up, not afraid of death, and said, "Brother Jiu, you have to pay more attention to your body, don't toss yourself badly." β
Cheng Yan scolded: "Go back to sleep." β
Jiang Tang was also watching from a distance, the first time she returned to the team was to find Cheng Ji, she asked others about his whereabouts, and the answer she got was that Cheng Ji brought back a woman and lived in the family home.
Staying in a family home is not a small problem, but it is a big problem.
In the evening, Staff Officer Meng talked to Jiang Tang.
Jiang Tang is a civilian, she doesn't have to go out to perform tasks, she is a girl, the civilian job is very easy, as long as she is on duty in the army, and her position is relatively leisurely, there are not so many important things.
And what Staff Officer Meng means is that if she is transferred to other better positions, you can help her apply, and there is no challenge in doing the same position all the time.
Jiang Tang lowered her head, understanding what Staff Meng meant, she asked directly: "Does Staff Meng think that I will affect Cheng Ji?" β
Staff Officer Meng didn't expect her to be so direct as a girl, and she was stunned for a few seconds, and said, "That's not what I mean." β
