Chapter 120: Guest
Halfway through the wash, I heard Chen Pengwei knocking on the door outside, "Qingqing, I'll go downstairs." โ
Shui Lanqing quickly finished washing and went out of the bathroom, Chen Pengwei had not come back yet. After a simple tidying up, I saw that on the desktop, Chen Pengwei's ID was placed on it, and I remembered the sentence "disrespectful and disrespectful" of the middle-aged woman at the front desk just now, and I was a little curious. Pick it up and flip it over. A clear identity photo, the man in the photo looked at the front with deep eyes, few people's ID photos can be so good-looking, in addition to the date of birth, name and other basic information, there are also a few eye-catching words "Position: Regiment Commander/Rank: Colonel", Shui Lanqing thought about the little military knowledge that Chen Pengwei popularized for himself when he was a child, crossed his fingers, and counted to himself, "Army, division, brigade, regiment, battalion, company, platoon." Regiment Commander, Colonel. โ
"What do you think? Do the photos look good? โ
Shui Lanqing was engrossed, Chen Pengwei came back at some point, carrying a hot water kettle in his hand and putting it on the table. Seeing Shui Lanqing holding her own documents, she couldn't help but feel strange.
"It's a good photo, when did you take it?"
"Two years ago, when I renewed my certificate, I took it. What do you see? Listen to yourself. โ
Shui Lanqing smiled wryly, and handed the document back to Chen Pengwei, "Just now, the person at the front desk seemed to be very surprised, a little curious, just take a look." โ
Chen Pengwei listened, raised his eyebrows, opened his certificate and looked at it, and smiled, "I may think that I am not old enough to reach the level of colonel." โ
"Is the colonel tall? How old are the average colonels? โ
"It's not too high, and there's nothing specific, it's about 35 years old."
"Then you are 32 years old this year," Shui Lanqing thought for a while, pondering the words, "Is there a special contribution?" โ
โยทยทยท It's not a contribution, but it's a few tasks that have been completed well and promoted exceptionally. Chen Pengwei said it lightly, and he did not mention the blood, tears and cruelty in this military merit medal, nor did he mention that when he returned at the end of the year, he would be promoted to brigade commander and colonel next year.
Shui Lanqing didn't understand what was going on, so she didn't feel any surprise when she heard it, and after watching it for a long time, she didn't realize where the "disrespect" in the front desk was. Shrugged his shoulders and asked instead, "What time do we go in the evening?" โ
"Pack up, let's go, go early."
Shui Lanqing looked at her watch, it was almost four o'clock, took her clothes, and went to the bathroom to change.
After driving for more than half an hour, they drove past a sentry post, and soldiers armed with guns gave military salutes and watched the jeep of the two men drive into the compound. Shui Lanqing had never lived in the military compound, and looked around with some curiosity.
"If I like to live here, I can apply when I go back to the capital." The little soldier who had just stood guard showed him the way, and Chen Pengwei slowly played the steering wheel, looking at the house number one building after another.
Shui Lanqing reacted to the meaning of his words, couldn't help blushing a little, and muttered in a low voice, "I live in Xisi Hutong." โ
Chen Pengwei nodded indifferently, "I also think it's not very convenient to live in the compound, people come and go are acquaintances, there is no privacy at all, if you quarrel with your daughter-in-law, everyone in the hospital will know." But you just lived in Xisi Hutong at the beginning, it is not very convenient to get to Chimei, and there are many places to repair, mainly because you live there alone, how is it not very safe. In the future, if I go to work, go on a business trip, and am not there at night, you are alone, I can't rest assured. If you want me to say, you might as well move me directly, it's still close to Wen Hao's house, and it's convenient to go to Chimei, no, I can still send you, saving you tossing back and forth. โ
Shui Lanqing listened to him more and more outrageous, but her tone was extremely natural, and she didn't care about looking at the surrounding scene anymore, "Who said I was going to live with you?" I live in Xisi Hutong. โ
"If you want to live there, you have to change it, the Xisi Hutong place is too small, your master's room, you can't move, then only your own room and your original West Wing where you practiced dance, the West Wing is too cloudy, you didn't think it when you were a child, now your body is like this, that room is not good for your health." You're not going to be cruel enough to let me stay in that room, are you? If we live in your little room with you, I'm afraid we won't be enough. โ
"Chen Pengwei, you don't have to interrupt." Shui Lanqing listened to him more and more unspeakable, the smile on her face became worse and worse, and she couldn't help but interrupt him, she didn't believe that he didn't understand what she meant.
"I said that I live in my Xisi Hutong, and you live in your house, who said that we should live together."
As Shui Lanqing's voice fell, Chen Pengwei's car stopped under a building with a "squeak", seeing that Shui Lanqing was still looking at herself angrily, looking at her with a smile, and thought for a while, "Don't live together, then you try it, who will have the final say in the end?" โ
After thinking about it, he patted his head with a smile, and added, "You reminded me, after I go back, the house in Xisi Hutong is not in a hurry to sign first, and the province is in your hands, so you won't admit it, well, anyway, your passport hasn't come down yet." โ
Shui Lanqing was stunned by his rogue words, and it took a while to react, "Chen Pengwei, don't bully people too much." โ
Chen Pengwei reached out and unfastened the seat belt, and then reached out to untie Shui Lanqing's seat belt, approached her, and gently pinched her puffy little face, "Who made you so disobedient now, always singing against me." โ
Shui Lanqing was startled by his movements and the handsome face that suddenly approached, and called out again with a red face, "Chen Pengwei." โ
The strange voice made his heart itch softly, and he couldn't help rubbing her little face again, "Okay, don't be angry, what a big deal, why are you really angry?" It's all there, and when I go upstairs for a while, people look at your face and think I'm doing something to you. Do you think I'm wronged? Chen Pengwei took Shui Lanqing's little hand and coaxed him quietly.
"You've been wronged." Shui Lanqing muttered in a low voice, this person will make people angry, come over and coax him again, slap a sweet date, and coax him, and he won't be angry.
"Okay, okay, smile, I listen to you, you can live wherever you say."
Chen Pengwei's careless words made Shui Lanqing laugh in the end, pursed her lips, poked him and said, "You're bad." โ
Chen Pengwei smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, why am I so bad, it's really, really undeserved." Get out of the car, everyone sees it in the window. โ
Shui Lanqing was startled when she heard this, and only then did she react, the two of them were sitting in the car, and the people upstairs couldn't see the situation in the car, so they reached out angrily and patted him hatefully, but they couldn't help laughing.
Chen Pengwei went to the trunk and took the things he wanted to give to Lao Hu, led Shui Lanqing to the door, pressed the doorbell, turned on the video intercom, and quickly opened the door upstairs.
Shui Lanqing was suddenly a little nervous, this was the first time she had gone to see his friend with Chen Pengwei so formally after she came back to clarify the relationship, it always felt a little subtle, and even when she was a child, the two of them had only played with his group of hairs a few times.
The old-fashioned family building, no elevator has been installed, the old Hu family lives on the sixth floor, Chen Pengwei wants to carry Shui Lanqing on his back, Shui Lanqing is unwilling this time, the two can only slowly climb up step by step, Chen Pengwei looked at Shui Lanqing's slower and slower pace, thinking that she was tired, and stopped to rest on the third floor.
I heard Shui Lanqing ask with some hesitation, "I always heard you call someone Lao Hu, what is his full name?" โ
"His name is Hu Zhibin, he is not that old, he is almost in his 40s this year, and the child has just entered high school." After speaking, looking at Shui Lanqing's somewhat tense appearance, she thought slightly, "What's wrong?" Uncomfortable there? As he spoke, he reached out and touched Shui Lanqing's forehead.
Shui Lanqing held his hand, smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, let's go, don't make people wait for a long time." โ
Chen Pengwei looked at her face carefully, her lips were red and her teeth were white, her face was pink, she really didn't look like she was sick, and rolled her eyes, "Nervous?" Scared? โ
"Who is afraid, what's so scary about this." Shui Lanqing hurriedly replied.
Chen Pengwei laughed, "Really nervous? What's this, it's just to meet a comrade-in-arms, not to see your parents, so be nervous when you meet your in-laws. It's not like I haven't seen my friends before, so I'm afraid of something. โ
Shui Lanqing made Chen Pengwei angry, not annoyed, what to see his parents, see his in-laws, the two just met each other, and he can't say anything in the future, he thinks far.
"Rest assured, no one will dislike you."
Shui Lanqing glanced at him, was she afraid that people would not like it? Shake off him, and slowly go upstairs by himself.
There are two households on the first floor, and when they reached the sixth floor, the door on the right had been opened, and a man who looked a little rough and had a very burly figure stood at the door, and saw Chen Pengwei turn up the stairs, "haha" smiled and greeted the door.
"Come on, come on, get inside." has a mouth and a loud voice, which shows the goodness of the Northwest man. As he spoke, he let Chen Pengwei and Shui Lanqing into the house, "Is this a brother and sister?" Oh, you kid, why didn't you tell me when you got married? โ
Hu Zhibin said a word, and said that Shui Lanqing stood at the door with a red face, and it was not okay to agree, nor did she agree.
Before the two could speak, a middle-aged woman came out of the kitchen, "Pengwei is here, my brother and sister are also here, come in quickly, don't stand at the door." โ
At this time, Chen Pengwei had time to hand the things he was carrying to Lao Hu.
"You said you, come and come, didn't you say that you accompanied your younger brothers and sisters to see the Mogao Grottoes, and you still carry this thing, it's weird to be old and heavy." As he spoke, he took it and put it on the countertop at the door.
"Nothing, just order tea, this year's new, and the bag is for my sister-in-law with medicinal tea, don't you ask me before, sister-in-law can't sleep well now, I have a friend who studies Chinese medicine, and I gave my mother some before, and it seems to be very easy to drink, I asked, anyone can drink it, and there are no those exquisite, sister-in-law try it, if it's easy to use, tell me."
