Chapter 39: Marriage
At half-past nine, the door of the dessert shop was pushed open.
Xu Li looked at the door, but saw Li Feng staggering in with a drunken smile.
Xu Li was startled and hurriedly greeted her.
"Why did you drink so much!"
Li Feng smiled and did not speak.
Xu Li helped Li Feng to the chair and poured him a glass of warm water.
"Drink some water! Do you have a bad stomach? ”
Li Feng leaned his head against the window and did not say anything.
"Don't mess around, I'll make you a glass of honey water!"
Xu Li was just about to go to the kitchen, but her hand was held by Li Feng.
"Don't go, Xu Li, don't go."
"Li Feng, what's wrong with you?"
Li Feng stood up and held Xu Li in his arms.
"Xu Li," Li Feng's voice suddenly choked, "I love you, you know I love you, right?" ”
"Yes, I know," Xu Li hugged Li Feng's shoulders and asked worriedly, "Tell me, what happened, did it not go well when I went to Beijing to discuss the project?" ”
Li Feng smiled bitterly, he wanted to explain the matter and the situation, but in the end he said: "Well, the ministry is very dissatisfied with the progress of our equipment and criticized us at the meeting, so the morale of our team is a little low." ”
"It's okay," Xu Li hugged Li Feng and comforted, "The new equipment you developed challenges the most advanced technology in the world, how can it be achieved overnight?" Besides, who else but your team has the ability to develop such leading-edge equipment? Don't worry, since the ministry is only criticizing, in fact, it is just trying to urge you and make you speed up your progress, and they will definitely continue to support you! ”
Li Feng was actually lying. This time they went to Beijing, and the leaders of the ministry were not only satisfied with the progress and quality of the research and development of their new equipment, but also said in public that they would continue to increase their support for Li Feng's scientific research team.
"Xu Li, will you support me too?"
"Yes, always," Xu Li looked at Li Feng affectionately, "Because you are Li Feng, as long as you want to do something, I will support you." ”
"Xu Li, if one day, I disappoint you, what will you do."
Xu Li was stunned and asked, "Li Feng, what's wrong with you?" Why do you think you're weird today. ”
Li Feng didn't speak, he buried his head in Xu Li's arms, and cried and said, "Xu Li, I love you, I really, really love you." ”
Li Feng did drink a lot of wine, and on the way to Xu Li's dessert shop, Li Feng still felt very sober, but when he saw Xu Li, all the previous disguises and armor disappeared in an instant. He felt so tired, indescribably tired.
Li Feng didn't go home that night, and Xu Li thought that Li Feng had been living in the dormitory of the Hon Hai factory recently, so she didn't call He Chunxia.
Xu Li spliced the sofa together, and laboriously helped Li Feng to lie down on the sofa, and then lay down beside Li Feng breathlessly, looking at Li Feng's sleeping face, and gradually fell asleep.
When she woke up, Xu Li found that Li Feng had left, and left her a note, which read: At two o'clock this afternoon, the Civil Affairs Bureau, see you or leave.
……
Li Feng woke up at three o'clock in the morning.
He looked at Xu Li, who was sleeping next to him, and suddenly made up his mind to tell himself that no matter what, he must not break his promise. Since he has promised Xu Li, then he must do it!
Because he loves her, he can't stand it and can't imagine what his life would be like without Xu Li's participation.
But when Li Feng rushed home in a hurry, he was told by Zhou's mother that his grandfather He Jiaxiang was sent to the hospital in the early hours of the morning, and his life and death were uncertain.
Li Feng was immediately stunned.
Why did everything come together?
Li Feng held the household registration book in his hand and stood in place for a long time, until Zhou's mother asked him, and he came back to his senses.
"Li Feng, what are you doing with the household registration book?"
"It's going to be used in the factory."
Zhou's mother felt a little strange and wanted to ask again, but Li Feng had already left quickly.
Li Feng got into the car, put the household registration book in his bag, thought about it, and decided to go to the hospital first, and then find an excuse to leave at noon. Anyway, no one can stop him from marrying Xu Li today.
……
In the hospital, He Zhiyuan was anxiously pacing back and forth in the corridor.
He Chunxia frowned and said, "Can you sit down!" Dangling in front of my eyes, I'm almost stunned by you! ”
He Zhiyuan hurriedly said: "Aren't I worried? Why did you think our dad suddenly got sick? ”
"How many times a month can you go back now? When my mother was alive, you could go back once a week, but now it's good, you may not be able to go back once a month! ”
"Sister, what do you mean by that? Can you blame me? Am I not busy? With so many things in the factory, how can I have time? ”
"You don't have time?" He Chunxia sneered, "You don't have time to travel around with your wife?" ”
"What nonsense are you talking about! When did I travel? Don't spew blood! ”
"I'm spurting blood? Have you forgotten that a week ago, Mr. Wu of Shengshi Company met you and your wife in Shanghai for dinner in a high-end restaurant, and when Mr. Wu came back, he asked me if our company had the intention of cooperating with other companies. For this reason, I also made a special check, and it turned out that there are no companies from Shanghai that want to cooperate with us recently! But what did you tell me before you left? You said you were going to Shanghai to meet a client! But what about the customer? Could it be that your client is your wife? ”
"You...... You're investigating me! ”
"Can I do it without investigating?" He Chunxia sneered, "If I don't investigate, how can I know about what you have been eating, drinking and having fun with public funds over the years?" How can you know that you embezzled public funds without permission and opened a small treasury for yourself? ”
He Zhiyuan was stunned.
"He Zhiyuan, the reason why I didn't say it before was because I wanted to wait for you to say it yourself, but now, it seems impossible."
"So what! Do you think you're as clean as you are? ”
"You ......"
"Shut up both of you!" Li Yan couldn't help but yell, "Dad is still in the hospital for rescue, you guys are actually arguing outside because of these things, if Dad knew, how chilling it would be!" ”
He Chunxia glanced at He Zhiyuan coldly and stopped talking.
He Zhiyuan snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Li Yan wanted to stop, but after thinking about it, he still forgot it. He already knew that this He Zhiyuan was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and of course, his wife was no better.
He Zhiyuan walked out of the hospital, and just wanted to light a cigarette when he saw Li Feng running this way in a hurry.
He Zhiyuan put the cigarette back into the cigarette case, and said with a sad face: "Xiaofeng, you are here." ”
"Uncle, how is Grandpa?"
"It's still in the rescue, you go in quickly, your parents are inside."
"Where's my aunt?"
"She ......" He Zhiyuan didn't know what to say, so he could only lie, "She went to another place the day before yesterday, and now she is rushing here." ”
As soon as Li Feng heard it, he knew that He Zhiyuan was lying. His young aunt has never been treated well by his family, especially his grandfather, so she has no feelings for everyone in the family, and it is very likely that his little aunt is not out of town at all, but does not want to come at all.
Li Feng didn't say anything more and went directly to the hospital.
In the corridor, Li Feng saw He Chunxia crying, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "Mom, don't worry, grandpa will be fine." ”
He Chunxia saw that her son was coming, and she was even more sad.
"Xiao Feng," He Chunxia threw herself into Li Feng's arms, "Mom is really worried to death!" If your grandfather has three long and two short, your mother will not live! ”
"Mom, what are you talking about!"
Li Yan patted Li Feng's shoulder and said, "Xiaofeng, you are here to accompany your mother, and I will go out to talk to your uncle." ”
Li Feng nodded.
After Li Yan left, He Chunxia cried and said: "Xiaofeng, I went to Wang Meng's house with your father yesterday, and Wang Meng's parents have a lot, so I don't care about you and agree that the wedding will be carried out on time." Tomorrow, you take some time to go to Wang Meng's house, and apologize to others. ”
"Mom, why did you mention this again," Li Feng frowned, "This matter is not in a hurry, I'll talk about it later." ”
"You stinky boy!" He Chunxia was so angry that she slapped Li Feng's head, "You are confused!" How long are you prepared to wait? If you wait until Wang Meng's belly grows bigger, it will be too late! Now, Wang Meng didn't tell her parents about her pregnancy, just to give you a step down, if your parents know that you take advantage of Wang Meng and don't want to be responsible, then what will they think of you? Can the matter between you and Wang Meng go smoothly? Even if everything is business as usual, will you still be able to please your father-in-law and mother-in-law in the future? People are not ordinary families, you have to know in your heart! ”
Li Feng sighed, he didn't want to quarrel with He Chunxia at this time, but it was impossible for him to nod and agree, so he could only stand up, walk to the door of the operating room, and hide quietly.
He Chunxia also sighed, knowing that this Li Feng still hadn't forgotten Xu Li, but she also understood that this kind of thing couldn't be done overnight, who hasn't been young? She still understands this.
At noon, Zhou's mother came to the hospital to deliver food, and when she saw Li Feng standing at the door of the operating room, she said with a smile: "Xiaofeng, come over and eat, I made your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs." ”
Li Feng smiled faintly and said, "Okay, you let my mother eat first, and I'll go out and call my dad and my uncle." ”
After Li Feng left, He Chunxia pulled Zhou's mother to her side and sat down, and sighed: "Zhou's mother, you've worked hard to cook so many meals." ”
Zhou's mother hurriedly said: "Mrs. He, what are you talking about, it's too obvious for you to say this!" That's what I'm supposed to do! ”
"Mother Zhou," He Chunxia smiled bitterly, "It seems that you are the only one who can let me say a few heart-wrenching words now." ”
Zhou's mother was moved, she knew that He Chunxia had never treated her as an outsider, nor had she ever treated her as a servant, and she was usually treated very sincerely, where could I find such a good person?
After thinking about it again and again, Zhou's mother still decided to say it.
"Mrs. He, there is one thing I don't know if I should talk about or not."
He Chunxia smiled: "What else is there to talk about between you and me?" Let's talk about it! ”
"I saw Xiao Feng come back today to pick up something."
"Something."
"Hukou book."
"What?" He Chunxia looked at Zhou's mother in shock, "Zhou's mother, are you sure?" See clearly? ”
"See clearly! I asked him why he had to get the household registration book, and he said that he wanted to use it in the factory, so I didn't ask much. But the more I thought about it on the way here, the stranger it became, but I didn't know where the strange place was. Mrs. He, am I too careful? ”
He Chunxia was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "You didn't have much heart, thanks to you telling me, otherwise, something big will happen today." ”
"What the hell is going on?"
"I'll tell you another day," He Chunxia sighed, "Mother Zhou, I'll go out and make a call, and when Li Feng and them come back, you will let them eat first, and if you ask me, you will say that I have something to do and go out and come back immediately." ”
Mother Zhou nodded, although she wanted to ask, but she knew that He Chunxia didn't want to say, so she could only keep her mouth shut.
He Chunxia left the hospital through the back door, found a public phone booth, and made a call to Wang Meng.
"Whoever?"
"Mengmeng, it's me."
"Aunt He?"
"Mengmeng, do you have time now?"
"Yes! It just so happens that Aunt He, a restaurant has just opened on Hong Kong Road, and it's delicious, let's go together at noon today, right? ”
"Not today, I'm in the hospital now, if you have time now, can you come to the hospital, I have something to tell you."
"Hospital? Aunt He, what's wrong with you? Sick? ”
"Not me."
"That's Brother Li Feng?"
"No, it's Li Feng's grandfather."
"Ahh How is Grandpa doing now? Don't need my dad to ......."
"You don't have to bother your parents with this kind of trivial matter. Mengmeng, you come over quickly after lunch, the matter is very important, it is inconvenient to say it on the phone. ”
Wang Meng vaguely felt that it was related to her, she glanced at her father who was reading the newspaper in the living room, and immediately nodded: "Okay, Aunt He, I'll go over after lunch." ”
