167, Civil Affairs Bureau and cinema, you choose one [second watch]
After eating, Jiang Shaoyao followed Lin Tao upstairs.
"Little sister-in-law, did my uncle give you a gift?"
Lin Tao nodded.
"Do you like the color?" Jiang Shaoyao asked again.
Lin Tao continued to nod, "Thank you, I heard Runzhi say that you picked this gift for him." β
"Yes, my uncle said, you should have a more dignified color, you can use it when you work, just like it." Jiang Shaoyao smiled narrowly, "By the way, little aunt, why did you and your uncle divorce in the first place?" β
Lin Tao's expression was entangled, "Actually, the situation between the two of us is very complicated, and I can't say it clearly for a while." β
"That's right." Jiang Shaoyao asked, "Then will you remarry your uncle?" β
Lin Tao: "Uh......"
Originally, she was very determined about remarriage, and she never thought about this possibility, but Cheng Runzhi's performance recently seems to be really rushing to remarry, let alone ...... just now
As for downstairs.
In the courtyard, Bo Jinqi took out a box of cigarettes and handed it over.
Cheng Runzhi waved his hand.
Bo Jinqi raised his eyebrows, took out one and put it in his mouth, "There are children at home, so it's really better to smoke less." β
"It's not that I smoke less, I quit smoking." Cheng Runzhi's bite is very heavy.
Bo Jinqian smiled and was noncommittal, "Rong San is back, has he contacted you?" β
"I contacted him." Cheng Runzhi said, "If it weren't for him yesterday, Taotao wouldn't have worked overtime for so long." β
Bo Jinqi squinted and took a puff of the flue, "You can make an appointment." β
Cheng Runzhi: "Childish. β
Bo Jinqi hehe.
Aren't you naΓ―ve?
Aren't you naΓ―ve to bite Lin Tao's lips?
β¦β¦
Waiting for Xia Xia to be coaxed to sleep, Jiang Shaoyao followed Lin Tao out of the room.
Just as Cheng Runzhi came up from downstairs, "Jin Yan is waiting for you downstairs." β
"What is he waiting for me?"
"I'm done with my meal, it's time to go home."
Jiang Shaoyao: "......"
As for it?
Uncle, if you want to make love to your aunt, you don't have to rush people so much, right?
Forget it, Jiang Shaoyao waved his little hand, "Little aunt, then I'll go back first." β
"Goodbye, my aunt."
Jiang swayed downstairs.
There were only two people left in the corridor for a while, and in order to avoid embarrassment, Lin Tao hurriedly walked to the terrace on the side.
As a result, Cheng Runzhi followed directly.
The terrace on the second floor faces south, and yesterday there was a sleet and the temperature plummeted to freezing, and at the moment the floor-to-ceiling windows are tightly closed, the heating is sufficient, and a layer of fog lingers on the glass.
There were some potted plants on the flower stand next to it, and one of them was a pot of orchids that grew particularly well, and drew four swords, which were adorned with delicate golden flowers from top to bottom.
Seeing that Lin Tao had been looking at the pot of orchids, Cheng Runzhi said, "This is my father's favorite orchid, but I forgot the name." β
Lin Tao let out an "oh" and moved to the side without a trace, "It's very good." β
Cheng Runzhi casually picked up the kettle next to him, and while watering the pot of orchids, he stared at her closely, "Do you want to deal with your lips?" β
Lin Tao "chuckled" in his heart, and he couldn't even say anything in an instant.
"Does it still hurt?" Cheng Runzhi asked again.
Lin Tao looked at the mist on the glass, and was at a loss, and it took a long time before he held back a few words, "It's okay." β
"I'm sorry." Cheng Runzhi said, "I didn't grasp the strength just now and injured you." β
Lin Tao: "............"
She really didn't know what to say, so she could only stare at the glass in front of her.
"It's a nice day." Cheng Runzhi said suddenly.
Lin Tao came back to his senses, "Well, it's pretty good." β
Next Second......
"Shall we go to the movies?"
οΌοΌοΌ
Lin Tao turned his face to look at him, "What did you say?" β
As a result, Cheng Runzhi stopped talking, and his eyes went straight down and fell on her lips.
When I kissed her just now......
It felt strange and wonderful, and he couldn't control it.
And looking at it at this time, his eyes were dark, and he even rolled his Adam's apple and swallowed......
Lin Tao was startled, and reached out to cover his lips.
Cheng Runzhi: "......"
How did she react?
There was a ticking sound......
Lin Tao looked at it and hurriedly reminded, "Don't water it, it's all dripping." β
Cheng Runzhi lowered his head slowly, and put the kettle next to him in a hurry, "It's okay, pour more water and grow faster." β
Lin Tao: "......"
Although she doesn't raise flowers herself, she also knows that this potted plant is very particular about watering, and now the tray is full of water......
"Would you like to wipe this water off?"
"Leave it alone." Cheng Runzhi frowned, "I just asked you about watching a movie, but you haven't answered me yet." β
Lin Tao said, "Actually, I made an appointment with an agent to look at the house in the afternoon. β
Cheng Runzhi's brows furrowed even tighter in an instant, "Look at the house?" β
"Yes, I told you before, I'm only here for a while, and I'll find a house to move out when I have time."
Cheng Runzhi's face sank as he rubbed it.
He was thinking about how to ask her to go to the movies and enhance their relationship with each other, but she was thinking about finding a house and moving out?
Lin Tao also saw that someone's face seemed to suddenly turn cloudy, and she hurriedly explained, "Living here all the time affects you too much, especially ...... Slender
"My aunt moved next door, and Jin Yan is very happy."
"But Xia Xia is still young, I see that the old man has been reversed day and night in the past two days, and his spirit is not very good......"
"Xia Xia is Dad's own grandson, if he doesn't coax, who will coax?"
Lin Tao: "......"
Cheng Runzhi was no longer verbose, "If you feel uneasy about living here, then we will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and go through the marriage procedures." β
οΌοΌοΌ
Lin Tao looked at him in shock.
"My ID card and household registration book are at home, what about yours?" Cheng Runzhi said, taking out his mobile phone, "I'll call my aunt, I'll go over and get it now." β
As he spoke, he was about to make a call.
Lin Tao pulled his hand anxiously, "Don't fight." β
The soft fingers are very comfortable to the touch, Cheng Runzhi looked down, and the corners of his mouth hooked.
Lin Tao's heart trembled again, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand.
Cheng Runzhi said with a smile, "I remember that the Civil Affairs Bureau got off work at five o'clock, right?" It's only two o'clock now, and it's just in time. β
Lin Tao simply accepted his character of saying that the wind is the rain, "Cheng Runzhi, can you not be like this?" β
Cheng Runzhi squinted, "What do you mean?" β
Lin Tao said, "It's so sudden, I don't ...... at all."
"I see." Cheng Runzhi nodded, "Then don't go to the Civil Affairs Bureau first." β
He put down his phone, "Then we're going to the movies that afternoon?" β
Lin Tao: "......"
How did you come back around?
"Still don't want to?" Cheng Runzhi looked at her and seemed a little confused, "That's it, the Civil Affairs Bureau and the movie theater, you can choose one." β
Lin Tao: "............"
Can she choose neither?
Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps.
Lin Tao was relieved, and hurriedly turned around, "Old man." β
Old Man Cheng came to the living room on the second floor, looked at the two of them, and asked with a smile, "Taotao, are you free now?" β
Lin Tao nodded, "Yes." β
Cheng Runzhi: "......"
Old Man Cheng smiled, "I want to go for a haircut, can you go with me?" β
"Okay." Lin Tao agreed in one bite.
"Dad......"
"Shut up!" Old Man Cheng didn't give his son a chance to speak at all, "Taotao, you go put on a coat, it's a little cold outside." β
"Okay."
Waiting for Lin Tao to leave, Old Man Cheng said, "You Laozi and I are helping you, can't you see this?" No eyesight! β
Cheng Runzhi squinted: "How can you help?" β
"Anyway, just wait." Old man Cheng is confident.
**
Lin Tao walked out of the villa, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Being with the old man is much easier than being with Cheng Runzhi......
In the afternoon, the weather was good, and there was no wind, Mr. Cheng wore a thick down jacket and a hat, leading her all the way to the community.
After walking for a while, Lin Tao noticed that something was wrong, "Old man, don't you want a haircut?" β
"There's no hurry." Old Man Cheng said and took her into a chess and card room.
It was freezing outside, but the chess and card room was very lively, every table was full of people, and they were all old people, and they greeted Mr. Cheng one after another when they saw him.
"Lao Cheng, you haven't been here for a long time." Someone asked, "What have you been up to lately?" β
Old Man Cheng's expression was embarrassed, "No way, I have to take care of my grandson." β
The man was surprised, "When did you have grandchildren?" β
Old man Cheng is quite famous in the community, and after retirement, he actively participated in community elderly activities, and everyone knows that he has a pair of children, and he has no object at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve this year.
Old man Cheng introduced at this time, "Well, this is my daughter-in-law Taotao, she looks beautiful." β
Everyone's eyes were immediately apparent.
Lin Tao was simply stunned, "Old man, ......"
"Shh-" Old Man Cheng covered his mouth, "Usually these old things bury me every day to give me some face." β
Lin Tao: "......"
The old men have already begun:
"Lao Cheng, you're too sudden, aren't you?"
"When did Runyuki talk about his girlfriend? Why haven't we heard of it? β
"You even have a grandchild?"
"You're deliberately slandering us, aren't you?"
Old Man Cheng smiled, "I said that I was a daughter-in-law, what kind of girlfriend, are you old and dazzled, and you can't even use your ears?" β
In front of everyone's eyes, he began to explain, "Actually, Runzhi and Tao Tao got married as early as three years ago, at that time, they were low-key, they didn't have a wedding, after giving birth to a child, Tao Tao went abroad to study, and only recently came back with the child, it's been too cold recently, next time, when the weather is warmer, I'll bring my grandson to you to see!" β
For a while, the scene was full of compliments:
"Cheng Lao, you are really a blockbuster if you don't make a sound!"
"What a blessing!"
"I still want to introduce the partner to Runzhi before......"
"No need to introduce now!" Old Man Cheng waved his hand vigorously, "But if there is a good young man, you can introduce me to my family Yunzhi, remember, you must be handsome, and you must be able to make money, otherwise you will not be worthy of my family Yunzhi!" β
"Good good ......"
"Then I'll keep an eye on it for you."
"Yunzhi is in Haicheng, isn't it? I happen to have a nephew who is also in Haicheng. β
Old Man Cheng's eyes lit up, "Okay, good!" Come, I'll push you on Yunzhi WeChat. β
Cheng Yunzhi, who was far away in Haicheng, was so inexplicably arranged for a blind date.
β¦β¦
Old Man Cheng greeted everyone for a while, and then left happily.
Lin Tao's face stiffened when she smiled, "Old man, do you still have a haircut?" β
"Reason!" Old man Cheng took her directly to the back door of the community, pointed to the storefront in front, "It's here." β
Lin Tao took a look.
This barbershop is really a bit shabby, and you can see that the business is average, and there is a sign next to it that reads:
"Seniors over 60 years old get a preferential haircut, only 5 yuan!"
Old man Cheng smiled as if he had picked up a big bargain, "Today is the last day of the discount, so I can be regarded as catching up!" β
Lin Tao: "......"
I didn't expect the old man to be so down-to-earth.
As a result, I waited in the store.
"Are you really sixty years old this year?"
Old Man Cheng has dyed black hair, plus his posture is tall, his complexion is ruddy, and although there are wrinkles on his face, at a glance, he is indeed quite young.
He was prepared, took out his ID card and handed it over, "I'm seventy years old this year!" β
The clerk's face was full of shock, "Old man, you are so well maintained, right?" β
Old Man Cheng was proud, "This is my daughter-in-law, and I have all my grandsons, what are you doing?" β
Lin Tao again: "......"
After accompanying the old man to get a haircut, Mother Lin called, "I made an appointment with Xiao Zhu, he happens to be free tonight, I'll send you the address, you go and have dinner with him in the evening......"
"Mom, I won't go."
"If you don't go, I'll ask Xiao Zhu to look for you in the hotel tomorrow, and you can do it yourself!" After saying that, the phone was hung up.
"What's wrong, Momo?" Old Man Cheng asked.
Lin Tao said it was okay.
"It's been so long, I haven't seen your mother yet, so let's find a time, the two families sit down and meet together, set the wedding time, this time we must make up for the wedding, our old Cheng family has not had a happy event for many years......"
"Old man." Lin Tao hurriedly interrupted, "Actually, Runzhi and I are not what you think......"
"You all ...... at noon That's it, not yet? Old Man Cheng waved his hand, "Runzhi is stupid, so I specially asked you to accompany me to get a haircut, just to communicate with you alone." β
"Old man, you really misunderstood......
"I know this son of mine best, you don't need to explain, I understand everything." Old man Cheng said to himself, "Since you divorced before, he has been alone, only knowing work, overtime, drinking, and smoking every day, but after you came back, he changed a lot, and even quit smoking for you and your children, you should also know that he smokes very fiercely and hurts his body......"
Lin Tao pursed her lips and stopped talking.
She can also understand that the so-called "there is a father must have a son", the personalities of the father and son are really the same, the more you explain, the more he talks......
Never mind.
Old Man Cheng continued, "Actually, in the past two years since you left, I haven't asked people to introduce him to objects, but none of them can have results!" My son, who speaks straight, has low emotional intelligence, has a stubborn personality, and is particularly impulsive, I let him into the army to kill his sharpness, and you also saw it...... So Ah Taotao, except for you, no other woman can look at him, if you don't remarry him, he will be old in the future, and he can only go to a nursing home, and when he can't move one day, he will lie on the hospital bed, and he will have to be slapped by those nurses......"
The more Lin Tao listened, the more wrong it became, "Old man, are you thinking too much......
"Don't believe it, haven't there been fewer reports of elder abuse in nursing homes lately?" Old Man Cheng sighed, "I'm really worried, because there is something I have been hiding from him." β
Lin Tao asked, "What's the matter?" β
Mr. Cheng said: "I had a physical examination a while ago, and the doctor said that I had a tumor in my brain, which was likely to be a malignant tumor. β
Lin Tao's eyes widened suddenly.
**
Old Man Cheng and Lin Tao returned home an hour later.
Cheng Runzhi immediately got up, "Why did you go for so long?" β
Lin Tao didn't speak.
"Are you alright?" Cheng Runzhi felt that her face was not quite right, and her eyes were red, as if she had cried......
Old Man Cheng blew his beard and glared, "I know that I care about my daughter-in-law, why don't I care about your son-in-law?" β
Lin Tao thought of what the old man said just now, and his brows furrowed.
Cheng Runzhi asked, "What's wrong with you?" β
"I got a haircut, don't you see?" Old Man Cheng touched his hair, "How is it?" β
Cheng Runzhi looked at him expressionlessly, "Why don't you dye it by the way?" There are too many gray hairs and look older than a teenager. β
The angry old man Cheng almost threw his mobile phone in his face.
"Come over to me!"
Cheng Runzhi frowned.
Why is this old man doing so much?
"Go ahead." Lin Tao urged.
Cheng Runzhi didn't want to go, but he nodded immediately, "Okay, then I'll go and talk to my dad first." β
Lin Tao thought of what the old man said just now, and she couldn't help but advise, "The old man is old and his health is not very good, you can listen to what he says later, don't contradict him." β
Heng Runzhi looked at her and smiled slightly, "Okay, I'll listen to you." β
Lin Tao: "......"
When he got outside, Cheng Runzhi's face instantly became impatient, "What's wrong with you?" β
Old Man Cheng looked at the back, made sure no one came, and pulled his son to the corner, "I just took Taotao to the community for a walk, and now the entire Splendid Garden knows that you have a wife and children." β
"Oh." Cheng Runzhi didn't have much emotion.
"I mentioned to Tao Tao about remarriage."
Cheng Runzhi continued, "Oh. β
After all, he had mentioned it several times, but Lin Tao didn't agree at all......
"I also told Tao Tao that I have a tumor in my brain, and I may not have many days to live, so Tao Tao promised to remarry you, do you have to know her well in the future?"
οΌοΌοΌ
Cheng Runzhi looked at him, his face moved slightly, "Really? β
"Of course it's true, Tao Tao agreed as soon as she heard this, what a good girl......"
"I'm asking you, is your brain tumor really fake?" Cheng Runzhi interrupted.
"Of course it's fake! You and I are in good health! β
Cheng Runzhi: "............"
------Off topic------

Did Mr. Cheng have a brain tumor?
1. It's long.
2, not long.
