On August 20th, there are still 10 days left before the start of school. Dr. and Mrs. Wu are planning to go back to their hometown to pack their belongings and expect to move into their new rented home before the start of school. On August 22, Qiao Junhao and his wife returned to Cheng Lingling's hometown to visit her grandparents. Meng Yi and Zhang Minbo heard the wind and came along.

They set off at about 9 a.m. and arrived at the place where the two elderly people lived at 2 p.m. It is a relatively retro old-fashioned mansion, and the style of the Republic of China period has been retained everywhere.

When they arrived at the place, because Cheng Lingling called in advance, the two old men waited for them at the door, and Zhang Minbo shouted that he was hungry as soon as he got out of the car. He heard Cheng Lingling say that her grandmother's cooking was delicious, and she had an empty stomach, and she had only eaten one boiled egg from morning to now.

Grandma Cheng hurriedly beckoned them in, pulled Cheng Lingling to prepare to wash vegetables and cook, and the thin and tall Grandpa Cheng walked behind with the three young men, chatting while walking. Just as he was about to invite them to sit down and have a cup of tea, Qiao Junhao said that he would help Cheng Lingling and Grandma Cheng cook. Grandpa Cheng repeatedly said no, but he still couldn't stop him, and Meng Yi and Zhang Minbo had to fight.

Usually at home, Qiao Junhao would not call Cheng Lingling. When she got here, she was reluctant to let her do housework.

So, the three big men took over the task of washing vegetables and rice, waiting for Grandma Cheng to take charge of the cooking. Grandma Cheng was embarrassed to let Cheng Lingling watch men work as a girl, and reminded her many times to help. She wilted over to choose vegetables, but was stopped by Qiao Junhao. I didn't let her do anything, just told her to rest there.

Zhang Minbo couldn't help laughing and said, "Are you afraid that your sister-in-law won't go back?" ”

Cheng Lingling didn't say much, picked up the melon seeds that were knocking and threw them at him. He laughed while blocking it with his hand, although Meng Yi is a famous singer, he is very neat in doing housework, and he only says that he deserves it. At this moment, Qiao Junhao has a free-range attitude towards his wife. Outside, he still gives her face. With his protection, until the meal was served, Grandma Cheng didn't move Cheng Lingling. So much so that when she washed her hands in the bathroom, she taught Cheng Lingling a good lesson. She said, "How can this job be done by Mr. Qiao, he is a big man and a big boss, don't let people lose face." It's not as good as what some people in my parents' family are used to......"

Cheng Lingling didn't dare to reply to the old man's sharp mouth, and listened to it for ten minutes before she was on the table under the urging of Zhang Minbo's stomach. Originally, Grandma Cheng didn't let Cheng Lingling eat with them, and she didn't eat it herself. Later, at the insistence of the three young people, Cheng Lingling still did it to Qiao Junhao, but Grandma Cheng was always reluctant to serve on the table.

Zhang Minbo then whispered to Cheng Lingling, "I'm afraid that your family's masculinism is hereditary, it's too serious." No wonder you listen to Mr. Qiao so much. ”

Cheng Lingling said, "Usually when there is no one else, I am treated much better than this." If I were a grandson, I would have to be urged by my grandfather to do housework with a cane, and my girlfriend would have to be an ancestor. ”

"Hey! Brother and sister be careful. Meng Yi interrupted, "Mr. Qiao is still here." He pointed at Qiao Junhao with his chopsticks, only to see him vigorously putting vegetables into Cheng Lingling's bowl, ignoring their words.

After eating, the three big men took the initiative to brush the dishes. Grandma Cheng became more and more embarrassed, and with a polite smile on her face, she said that she couldn't help it, and at the same time glanced at Cheng Lingling to brush the dishes.

Cheng Lingling yawned, took out a pu fan from her room, and ran over to fan Qiao Junhao.

Originally, at the request of Zhang Minbo and Meng Yi, they were expected to stay here for a week, but Jin Mengwen called and said that they would come back on the 26th and ask Qiao Junhao to help Dr. Wu introduce work, and by the way, let them help clean up the room and buy some new daily necessities. also named her to bring Meng Yi and Zhang Minbo. Listening to her tone, she was preparing to settle in Shanglin City.

This made Meng Yi and Zhang Minbo a little uncomfortable. After all, their travel strategies are ready. It was rare for Meng Yi to apply for a ten-day vacation from his agent, but he didn't expect to be called to help. Zhang Minbo comforted him for a long time and said that he would also accompany him. Received a roll of his eyes at the moment.

"The last thing I want is you! Every time I'm with you, I'm fine. You said that I didn't owe you in my last life, and you came to collect the debt. Although he frowned and glared at Zhang Minbo, Zhang Minbo stared at him with a cheeky smile, kissed him, and called him "Good buddy." He was disgusted for a long time, chased him and beat him, pressed him there, and beat him with Cheng Lingling's pu fan. Cheng Lingling was there to teach her grandmother to take pictures, and she just took pictures of them. Grandpa Cheng and Qiao Junhao sat in the shade of a tree and focused on playing chess.

All in all, it was a great first day here. At night, Grandma Cheng cleaned up three rooms for them, Zhang Minbo preferred to sleep with Meng Yi, because there was only one bed in the room, Meng Yi would rather lay on the floor than "share the bed" with Zhang Minbo. As a result, Zhang Minbo put the bed and didn't sleep, and while he was asleep, he also climbed the floor to accompany him.

Waiting until the next morning, Cheng Lingling, who was sleeping soundly in Qiao Junhao's arms, was awakened by the screams next door.

As soon as Meng Yi opened his eyes in the morning, he saw a person lying next to him, except for Zhang Minbo, I am afraid that no man will hold him when he sleeps. He struggled a few times but didn't break away, and he was already a little angry, so he kicked him, picked up the pillow and rode on him and beat him. As soon as Cheng Lingling heard this, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to sleep if she was lazy, so she asked Qiao Junhao to see what was going on.

No, Grandma Cheng thought something was wrong and came before him. As soon as I opened the door, I saw two big men going up and down, Meng Yi was aggressive, and Zhang Minbo was struggling to resist. When Qiao Junhao saw this posture, he couldn't hold back at that time and left with a smile. Grandma Cheng was left staring at them in shock.

Meng Yi was so hated by Zhang Minbo that he crooked, and pretended to be dead until eleven o'clock in the morning. It wasn't until Cheng Lingling came to ask him to go out to play that he hurriedly washed up and got up, didn't eat, and waited on an empty stomach to go out to eat at a roadside stall.

Because Qiao Junhao told her what happened in the morning under Cheng Lingling's soft grinding, she looked at Meng Yi who completely ignored Zhang Minbo beside her, and her mind was full of thoughts and all kinds of corruption. Although she is not a victim of a corrupt culture.

The city where Grandpa Cheng's family is located is not a famous tourist destination, but the environment here is comfortable and retains many retro elements, so some people still come here.

Zhang Minbo and Meng Yi are one of them. Of course, with the growing tourism industry in recent years, there are also many new squares and scenic spots. It's just too commercial, so it doesn't have much value.

These two outsiders came for the first time, so they visited these places in the past few days. However, Meng Yi didn't eat breakfast, and he had to solve the problem of famine in his stomach first, and then talk about other things.

It just so happened that it was time for dinner, and people were already eating lunch, and he was still queuing up to buy breakfast. Originally, the three young people discussed going to a Chinese restaurant to eat claypot rice, but Cheng Lingling had to eat rolling dough. pestered Qiao Junhao for a long time, and was glared at by him, and he was silent for a while. Later, I asked again, and I still wanted to eat hot and sour noodles, so Qiao Junhao said, "I can't control you, don't you, you can go if you want!" Cheng Lingling didn't understand the meaning of his words, turned around and ran away, thinking that he agreed.

Later, Meng Yi saw that there were steamed buns sold on the side of the road, and thought about eating something hot and easy to swallow to cushion his stomach first, and drink a cup of soy milk by the way. asked Qiao Junhao and Zhang Minbo to wait for him in the restaurant first, and he himself lined up behind the people.

At this time, Cheng Lingling was already sitting alone in a shop selling dough and eating happily. In just a few minutes, Qiao Junhao was a little angry at the beginning, and now he can't bear it anymore. Just call her and tell her to hurry over.

She hurriedly swallowed the last bite of "food", asked for a cup of milk tea sold in the supermarket to drink by herself, and after brewing it in the store, she went to him slowly. I happened to meet Meng Yi on the way, and the two of them came to the Chinese restaurant they designated together.

The restaurant was in the new square, and they were thinking about waiting for their meal to finish their meal and take a stroll around the square.

By the time the two arrived, the food had already arrived. As soon as Cheng Lingling entered, she was glared at by Qiao Junhao, as if to say, "Who allowed you to leave without permission." ”

She pretended not to see the anger on his face, and walked over to him and sat down. He didn't say a word, just put the spoon on the side of the bowl and ignored her. She peeked at him and saw Meng Yi move his share from Zhang Minbo's side. Because there were only four chairs, he couldn't even take them with him. Zhang Minbo's mood suddenly fell, and he looked at him for a long time without saying a word. Qiao Junhao saw it in his eyes, picked up the chopsticks and took out the red peppers in Cheng Lingling's bowl one by one, and said, "Eat as much as you want." ”

Cheng Lingling didn't dare to talk, so she ate there with her head down. Zhang Minbo and Meng Yi did not communicate with each other throughout the whole process, and the relationship was very tense. originally thought that they would always be at such a stalemate, however, Zhang Minbo took the initiative to apologize to others after eating, and hugged him again without waiting for Meng Yi to say forgiveness. Meng Yi immediately regretted taking care of him.

Cheng Lingling didn't swallow a mouthful of food in her mouth and wanted to laugh, and she almost choked. Qiao Junhao handed her a glass of water, she drank most of the cup in one go, and then stuffed the rest of the meal into her stomach within two minutes. The bad thing about eating with them is that they are already full, and she has just eaten half a bowl, and she is embarrassed to let them wait. If Qiao Junhao was alone, he would slow down and wait for her, Cheng Lingling didn't like to let anyone other than him wait.

After lunch, it was half past twelve at noon. The four of them left the restaurant and went up to the sixth floor. If you want to say that young people like them love the most, the game is the most. The sixth floor is a gaming base with everything from simulated shootouts to crane machines. There is also a dance machine and a karaoke room. Three big men and a girl caught dolls here all afternoon. In the end, Zhang Minbo and Meng Yi were full of cheap puppets, and they were reluctant to leave, so when it was dark, Zhang Minbo proposed to go to the song room to sing. At ten o'clock in the evening, Grandma Cheng called Cheng Lingling and asked her if they would go back tonight, Cheng Lingling said to play for a while, let the second elder rest early, and leave a door for them.

As a result, they were high until two o'clock in the morning, and when they went back, they passed through an old square, and there was a newly opened haunted house on the first floor. Cheng Lingling didn't want to go in, but when she saw that they were on the rise, she was embarrassed to refuse.

Zhang Minbo and Meng Yi drank a lot of wine in the song room, and under the stimulation of alcohol, the two of them jumped on the ground in the dark haunted house without blinking their eyelids. Cheng Lingling couldn't stand the fright of a gust of wind behind her from time to time, walking between them and Qiao Junhao, two staff members who were pretending to be ghosts suddenly jumped out of the fork in the road on both sides, frightened her, and hid in Qiao Junhao's arms with tears coming out, Zhang Minbo and Meng Yi didn't say a word, and directly beat the people, and then the manager came to mediate, and Qiao Junhao was angry before he finished a sentence.

Because the manager is Cheng Lingling's friend, she gave her a gift on her birthday to confess, and Qiao Junhao lost it. The first thing they said when they saw them was not to negotiate, but like an old lover reuniting, his eyes were staring at Cheng Lingling, saying hello to her, and he didn't take Qiao Junhao and the two beaters in his eyes.

Cheng Lingling didn't want to be misunderstood, so she only hid behind Qiao Junhao, the man wanted to reach out and pull her, seeing that Qiao Junhao was about to go crazy, Meng Yi, who was half drunk, pushed the man away.

"If you have something to say, don't do it." Meng Yi said.

The man froze obviously, glanced at Qiao Junhao, and then at Cheng Lingling, who was holding on to him, and sighed.

"I'll admit, I don't have as much money as him." He said. This is undoubtedly ironic, no one will be happy with anyone, especially Qiao Junhao, who wants to save face, he replied without showing weakness, "It's good to know." People can have dreams, but they must be realistic, what is not yours will never be yours, it is yours, and no one can take it away. It's a fact that you don't have as much money as me, and it's also a fact that you're not as good to her as I am. Just what you just said, she won't be happy with you. Not because you don't have money, but because you have low self-esteem and hate the rich. ”

The man was so frightened that he had nothing to say, and his face was very ugly. For Meng Yi and Zhang Minbo, because they did not cause substantial harm to the staff, and they were worried that these two would be drunk and would not die, they ended up in the end.

When I got back, it was late at night. Meng Yi and Zhang Minbo fell asleep after returning to the room. But Qiao Junhao and Cheng Lingling had a little episode because of today's Liangzhuang incident. First, Cheng Lingling dared not listen to him, and left him to run alone. Originally, because of this incident, he was a little unhappy, and was troubled by the incident just now, Qiao Junhao, who was angry, said that he would not let Cheng Lingling sleep, so he let her kneel there, Cheng Lingling knelt at the head of the bed and listened to him for a long time, and she didn't dare to talk back the whole time.

The second point is the direct cause of his anger. Cheng Lingling's previous "old lover" made him very angry, especially his attitude towards her, which is intolerable to a man.

"Can I be blamed for this?" She just said this, and was threatened by Qiao Junhao's eye knife for two minutes. He reached out to remove her hand that was blocking her ear, and she thought he was going to hit her and almost cried. Originally, he was still angry, but this time his heart softened, and he pretended to be stern to tell her not to cry, but she didn't cry, and then he hugged her in his arms and coaxed her softly. She listened and fell asleep. In fact, he just wanted her to listen to him, and he didn't want to do anything to her. Simply, Cheng Lingling woke up in the middle of the night and asked him to pour him a glass of water, forgetting about it a long time ago.

I slept until noon the next day, when the four young men got up and helped with the housework, and breakfast and lunch were combined.

While they were busy working in the yard, they heard a commotion outside. If you listen closely, it's a couple talking.

"Let me tell you, I didn't have a car or a house when I married you, and now my brother is about to get engaged. The house price here is not expensive, my parents paid a down payment, and we paid another 100,000 yuan for him to get married. ”

"Your brother is married, and I have no objection to you giving him money, but you have to consider the situation of our own family first. We all rent our own house to live ......"

"It's my fault that you rented a house. That's who you can't blame. I'm tired all day to earn money, you sleep at home, you are still reasonable! ”

"Don't give me, we can't take out so much money, at most 50,000!"

The voices of the two became louder and clearer, Cheng Lingling felt that the woman's voice sounded familiar, so she walked over to open the door, but she didn't expect to see Huang Qianting and her husband Liu Mo passing by the door angrily.

She and Huang Qianting had no intention of looking at each other, and the scolding Huang Qianting turned into a smile and greeted her in seconds.

"Oops, Lingling."

Cheng Lingling pretended not to see her change, and greeted her with a smile, "Tingting, when did you come back?" As she spoke, she could see the big bags and small bags that the couple were carrying. There are clothes and supplements for the elderly, as well as snacks that young people love to eat.

"Didn't you just come back?" Huang Qianting smiled a little embarrassedly, "My brother brought his girlfriend back, and he is going to settle the family affairs recently, so I'll come back and take a look." ”

Cheng Lingling nodded, only to hear her say again, "By the way, why did you come back, is it ...... Mr. Qiao?"

Cheng Lingling's friends all know that Qiao Junhao is a rich big boss, not easy to mess with, and they also know that Cheng Lingling is afraid of him, Huang Qianting thought that she was in conflict with him, and she was wronged and returned to her parents' house. Cheng Lingling saw that her expression was wrong, and hurriedly explained, "We came back together." Do you want to come in and sit for a while, they are preparing lunch, stay and eat before leaving. She was afraid that she would not believe it, so she specially added.

Huang Qianting has no intention of staying here at the moment, not to mention that Qiao Junhao is also there. Although he didn't interfere with Cheng Lingling's friends, he didn't want her to get too close to their so-called sisters, for fear of bringing her badly, so he politely refused, "No, we ate here, my parents are waiting at home, let's get together another day." ”

The two said goodbye, and Cheng Lingling returned to the hospital. Qiao Junhao asked her what was going on outside, and she told her truthfully. Meng Yi was choosing a dish, and suddenly sighed on his back, "You are all good, I have nothing to worry about." ”

"Who said that?" Zhang Minbo immediately retorted, "What about me! What about me! What do you think of me, am I not your concern? ”

Meng Yi picked up the vegetable leaf and shook the water droplets on it and pointed at him, then raised it up and said, "Get out!" ”

Zhang Minbo pursed his lips, "Why don't you want me again." ”

Meng Yi couldn't stand him being a good straight man, so he was designed by Zhang Minbo to be a, so he simply did housework quietly and ignored him.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Minbo said that he was going to climb the mountain, but was opposed by three people.

"Climb the mountain as soon as possible." Qiao Junhao said.

Cheng Lingling also felt that it was not appropriate to go climbing in the afternoon, so she added, "I can't lift my spirits at this point now." ”

Meng Yi took out his travel guide, and while taking notes, he said, "I heard that there is a park here, there are fountains and rockeries, and you can go to see the scenery." Forget about climbing the mountain. ”

Eventually, the four of them decided to go to the park. Zhang Minbo always remembered what Meng Yi said about the fountain rockery, and clamored to go. There are quite a few people who go, there are many young couples taking pictures under the fountain, and some stand below and deliberately get wet to cool off. Zhang Minbo and Meng Yi fought for some reason, but the two of them both fell into the water, and they came to a "mandarin duck bath", and they were wet all over their bodies.

After the two climbed up, Cheng Lingling asked Meng Yi what was going on, and Meng Yi said that Zhang Minbo wanted to climb the rockery, but he stopped him from going, so he accidentally fell into the water. Cheng Lingling couldn't help laughing when she looked at the embarrassed appearance of the two. Meng Yi didn't even have the heart to get angry because he met such a pit teammate as Zhang Minbo, so he walked back wet, and locked himself in his room all afternoon thinking about life, ignoring anyone's call. Grandma Cheng brought him dinner.

As for Zhang Minbo, because he knocked on the door, Meng Yi ignored him, so he had to take a dip with Qiao Junhao and Cheng Lingling under the old locust tree in the courtyard.

Grandpa Cheng and Grandma Cheng went to bed after dinner, so Cheng Lingling lay on Grandpa Cheng's recliner and asked Qiao Junhao to fan her, and Zhang Minbo, who was extremely depressed, sang to her next to her, which was a rare treatment in a century.

Unexpectedly, not five minutes after lying down to enjoy happiness, there was a "crackling" knock on the door outside. Qiao Junhao put down the fan and was about to open the door, but Zhang Minbo stopped him and asked him to stay with Cheng Lingling, and he went to have a look. As a result, he almost ran back in a frenzy. He was followed by two people, a man and a woman.

The boy looked to be only eighteen years old, and he had not yet shed his childishness, and the girl was a little more mature than he was. The two of them panicked and shrunk together.

Cheng Lingling recognized the boy at a glance as Huang Qianting's younger brother, Huang Zhiyong. That girl must have been his girlfriend.

"As soon as I opened the door, they grabbed my hand and said they had beaten someone." Zhang Minbo explained with palpitations under the surprised gazes of Qiao Junhao and Cheng Lingling.

"What's the matter, Zhiyong, what about your sister?" Cheng Lingling said in surprise.

As soon as she said this, Huang Zhiyong, who was already trembling, shuddered, or his girlfriend explained hesitantly that Huang Zhiyong's sister and brother-in-law had a dispute over the money for his marriage, and finally fought.

Originally, Liu Mo discussed with Huang Qianting kindly, but when it came to the fact that they were renting a house, Huang Qianting scolded and yelled when she spoke, just because Liu Mo said a word, Huang Qianting rushed up to the anger and pressed him on the sofa to beat, he was beaten urgently, and the two of them fought. Everything in the house that can fall has fallen. But Huang Qianting's parents went out to play mahjong after dinner, and they didn't say who they went to, and they didn't answer the phone. No, Huang Zhiyong heard his sister say that Cheng Lingling came back with her husband, so he thought about coming to her for help.

When Cheng Lingling heard this, she hurriedly asked Qiao Junhao to call Meng Yi, and the four of them went to his house together.

Because Cheng Lingling was timid, Qiao Junhao only asked her and Zhang Minbo to wait outside. Don't look at Zhang Minbo, who is not afraid of the sky and the ground, and the ghosts are not afraid, if he encounters this kind of scene, he will faint and die.

Huang Zhiyong and his girlfriend led Qiao Junhao and Meng Yi into the living room, and saw Huang Qianting sitting on the ground crying, while Liu Mo was gone. Qiao Junhao saw that there were bruises on her face and body, and asked her if she was okay, she shook her head. Meng Yi asked Huang Zhiyong why he didn't stop his brother-in-law, and Huang Zhiyong shrank in his girlfriend's arms and shook his head. Meng Yi was so angry with him that he almost beat him. A big man, he doesn't have a little responsibility, and he wants girls to protect him.

Although Huang Qianting said that it was fine, it was always good to check it out, so Meng Yi drove her to the hospital. Qiao Junhao and Zhang Minbo accompanied a young couple at the Huang family. At that time, Huang Zhiyong didn't know whether he was asleep or fainted in his girlfriend's arms. Fortunately, Huang Qianting was fine, and she came back after the drip. It was late at night, and her parents weren't too late, when they came back to meet the two of them coming out of a neighbor's house. When the two elders heard about this, they only asked Huang Qianting to restrain her temper, and her younger brother still needed money to get married. Then she called her husband and told him if he was not. The man was already on his way home. Huang Qianting sat on the sofa holding back tears and did not speak. Meng Yi and Zhang Minbo were really speechless about this parent. Her daughter was bullied, and she didn't care about it, but she still talked like someone else. The reason is also for the son's wedding money. If Qiao Junhao hadn't stopped him, the two big men would have gone crazy a long time ago. In the end, Qiao Junhao gave his parents 200,000 yuan in the name of Huang Qianting. Huang Qianting cried and thanked Cheng Lingling in front of her. She didn't say a word about the rest, and she didn't want to ask.

After this incident, Meng Yi was even more convinced that Zhang Minbo was the one who came to restrain him. So, early in the morning, before breakfast, he packed his things and prepared to leave. Zhang Minbo repeatedly assured him that everything was under his command and that there would be no more accidents to keep him. Fortunately, everything was safe after that, and on the 26th, the four of them said goodbye to Grandpa Cheng and Grandma Cheng and returned to Shanglin City.
