Chapter 192: Goodbye Zheng Xiaotong
Zheng Liwen left, and the entire Zheng family became deserted.
In the past, the Zheng family, Zheng Liwen would eat at the Hu family every day at noon, and Liu Baotian also came over to eat from time to time, plus Zheng Xiaotong and Liu Baotian's bickering, so the Zheng family at that time was lively.
But now, there are only Zhang Xuelian and Zheng Xiaotong who come back occasionally in the entire Zheng family, so the whole family is deserted.
In fact, the moment Zheng Xiaotong went home, Zhang Xuelian found that this girl was a little different from before, but she didn't say much, because Zhang Xuelian knew that Zheng Xiaotong was older, and there were some things that she shouldn't interfere in.
Zhang Xuelian is a very high-level person, although she probably guessed something, but she didn't take the initiative to speak, so the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward at this time.
"Xiaotong, how are you playing at school lately? Did your brother Baotian bully you? Zhang Xuelian hesitated for a moment, and finally asked with a smile.
And as soon as she finished saying this, Zheng Xiaotong not only did not immediately take the stubble, but pressed her head lower.
"Milk, I think about it, I will go to the capital to study for committee training when school starts, and I don't want to miss this opportunity." After a few seconds, Zheng Xiaotong whispered as he lowered his head and chewed on rice.
You must know that before this, whether it was Zhang Xuelian or Zheng Hongtao, both of them asked Zheng Xiaotong to read this commission training more than once, after all, this kind of opportunity is rare, and as Zheng Liwen's control in the oil field is getting worse and worse, such a thing can't be done.
But Zheng Xiaotong refused every time on the grounds that she didn't like to study, because of this matter, Zheng Hongtao was still anxious about Zheng Xiaotong, but she was a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.
As a result, now Zheng Xiaotong took the initiative to study for committee training, so Zhang Xuelian could almost conclude that Zheng Xiaotong and Liu Baotian were angry.
In other words, Zheng Xiaotong wants to change his mood and life.
"Really thought about it? Went to the capital, you haven't seen your brother Baotian in the past three years? Zhang Xuelian said deliberately.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Xuelian finished saying this, Zheng Xiaotong, who was still eating with her head down just now, her tears fell into her rice bowl.
When Zhang Xuelian saw this scene, she really had mixed feelings in her heart! She has always felt that Zheng Xiaotong is not big, and she has always felt that it is a good thing for girls to be a little frustrated.
But when she really saw Zheng Xiaotong sad and sad, the old lady couldn't help it.
"This is what I want to study, what does it have to do with him?" Zheng Xiaotong sobbed while forcing himself to be quiet.
Until now, Zheng Xiaotong didn't want Zhang Xuelian to have any dissatisfaction with Liu Baotian because of his own affairs.
"Did Liu Baotian bully you? Little Wang Ba Lamb, his wings are stiff, and he has begun to bully my granddaughter! Zhang Xuelian said loudly at this time.
"Grandma, she didn't bully me, this has nothing to do with him, you are not allowed to trouble him! If you really don't treat him well, I'll never go back to this house again! Zheng Xiaotong sobbed at this time and hurriedly said.
"You stupid boy, I'm your grandmother, I don't know what your personality is? What do you say about this Liu Baotian, he has hurt you like this, why do you still think about everything for him! Zhang Xuelian said distressed at this time.
"Anyway, you are not allowed to trouble him, and besides, you are not allowed to give him my contact information, in the past few years, I want to be quiet! If he asks me how I am, you say that I have found a good family in the capital and will never come back. Zheng Xiaotong said what she had been thinking about for a long time at this time.
Zhang Xuelian looked at Zheng Xiaotong's serious appearance, and she couldn't help but sigh in the end.
"Okay, it's all up to you! Xiaotong, remember, the fate between people is arranged by God a long time ago! Some emotional battles can't be fought over. The melons are ripe, and the water is a matter of course! Zhang Xuelian said earnestly.
After Zheng Xiaotong heard this, she was stunned, and then fell into a long contemplation.
And Zheng Xiaotong, who had eaten the room and put herself in the room, said to herself: "The water is a matter of course, and the water is a matter of course!" ”
And as soon as she thought of this, Zheng Xiaotong, who was paralyzed on the bed, sat up from the bed at once, and then she came to the mirror and said seriously to herself in the mirror: "Zheng Xiaotong, it's your thing, others can't take it away!" ”
At the same time, Liu Baotian also waited for Feng Dezhi at the appointed place.
The hot pot restaurant is not big, but there are also a few private rooms, obviously the decoration is average, but the environment is also in the past.
Feng Dezhi and the boss are quite familiar with each other, so after the dishes are arranged, the boss gave a plate of crispy meat and two bowls of ice powder.
"Ba Shi is very good!" Feng Dezhi took a sip of ice powder, then closed his eyes, and said with a look of enjoyment.
"Brother, do you still speak Sichuanese?" Liu Baotian said with a smile.
"Baotian, don't look at me as tall and big, in fact, I'm from Sichuan." Feng Dezhi said with a smile while sandwiching a piece of hairy belly and putting it in the oil dish.
"Really? Then you're very good at Mandarin! How do you practice? When Liu Baotian heard this, he was a little surprised.
Indeed, there are indeed many southerners in Yunlong City who come to work, most of them are Anhui people and Sichuan people, especially Sichuan people, they speak with a very special accent, and no matter how they are straight, outsiders know that they are from Sichuan.
But obviously, Feng Dezhi's fluent Mandarin obviously has nothing to do with Sichuan.
"How so? When you try to get rid of your family of origin, then a lot of things are much easier! I hate it when people ask me where my home is, so I simply change my accent to Mandarin, so people around me think my home is local. Feng Dezhi said with a self-deprecating face.
"No, Brother Feng, your family conditions are not good?" Liu Baotian asked.
"It's not good! It's terrible! My hometown is in rural Sichuan, and Sichuan is not like the Northeast, there is arable land everywhere! Even the poorest places can't go hungry! Our hometown is surrounded by mountains, and some of the land can't grow in a year!
When I was admitted to university, the whole village came to congratulate me, and everyone thought that I was going to college was a carp jumping into the dragon gate! Seriously, that's what I thought at the time. Feng Dezhi said to Liu Baotian with a smile.
"College students in the 80s were really good, and there weren't many literate people in the countryside at that time, Brother Feng, you are really good." Liu Baotian said honestly.
"Yes, when I went to school, I had to walk 20 kilometers of mountain roads every day, and many children in the village stopped studying after two years! I've been on this road for 9 years! Later, when I was in high school in the county, my family couldn't afford me to study, so I borrowed money everywhere to make up for my tuition, and other people's families were not rich. Feng Dezhi took a sip of wine and continued to talk to himself.
At this time, the atmosphere in the house was a little bad, and Liu Baotian didn't know what to say for a while.
And Feng Dezhi continued at this time: "I am your senior brother, and I am also a student of the Oil College!" However, when I came to the oil college, the oil college had just been established, and the people who came to study at the oil college were people from all over the world, unlike now more than half of them are oilfield children! At that time, the oilfield major was not good, and everyone knew that after graduation, they would work in the field, and everyone called the oilfield workers "oil bosses" at that time!
That's why people with better family conditions don't come here! However, our school has a subsidy, so it doesn't cost money to go to school, and it doesn't cost money to eat, plus everyone's conditions are not good, so I was very happy in college! ”
Feng Dezhi said with a smile.
"Brother Feng, it's not easy for you, now you've finally come out." Liu Baotian said with emotion.
Although Feng Dezhi is a section-level cadre, and he doesn't have much oil and water, after all, the treatment in the oil field is not bad, and Feng Dezhi's object seems to work in the production unit, so both of them go to work, and this little life must be good.
"yes, it's a good time! When I first went to work, I not only had to take care of my parents in my hometown, but also had to support my sister, so everyone else was already married, and I didn't dare to get married! Because all the money I earn goes to my old family! Who would dare to marry someone like me?
Later, your sister-in-law's parents fell in love with me, and they didn't think I was poor, so we got married! In the past few years, my parents have passed away one after another, and my sister-in-law has also gone to work, and life is finally better. Feng Dezhi continued.
Liu Baotian didn't know why Feng Dezhi said so many things about himself at once today, and they were all about family private matters.
Although Liu Baotian and Feng Dezhi are familiar with each other, the two have not yet reached the point where they have nothing to talk about. In addition, Feng Dezhi was originally a very smooth person who spoke well on weekdays, so Liu Baotian couldn't figure out what happened to Feng Dezhi today.
However, Liu Baotian didn't show anything, but kept listening to Feng Dezhi talk about his past.
"Do you know what I've regretted most in my life?" Liu Baotian didn't wait to figure it out, but Feng Dezhi asked Liu Baotian rhetorically.
"What?" Liu Baotian continued.
"The biggest regret in my life is that I didn't be with the woman I liked! Of course my daughter-in-law doesn't like me either! In other words, the combination of the two of us at that time was that there was no way to choose, so we found someone to marry.
My family conditions are not good, and I am satisfied with a woman who has a job and a decent family background! My daughter-in-law is fat and has a low education, and if she can find someone who has gone to college, she will be content.
Let's put it this way, in our lives, we just made do, and when we have children, we treat them as buddies. Feng Dezhi said with a smile.
When Feng Dezhi said this, although he was smiling, his expression was full of infinite regret! And Liu Baotian also fell into contemplation at this time, because he also remembered his marriage in his previous life.
Like Feng Dezhi, he also found a woman who could make do with it, but was unsatisfactory in all aspects.
In fact, this is not only the case, but also in any era!
If you can really marry someone you like, and the other party also likes you, this is a minority! And the vast majority of people, their marriage is just that they have to get married when they are old, and they can find someone who is similar to themselves.
And Feng Dezhi's words can be regarded as completely narrowing the distance between the two.
"Brother, then you haven't liked a girl?" Liu Baotian said curiously.
"Yes, how not! I was the class president when I was in the oil college, and there was a little girl in my class who was very beautiful, and the family conditions were good, so people fell in love with me! At that time, the little girl saw that I couldn't eat enough, so she often brought me delicious food! And she sings very well, the song she sang "Wild Lilies Have Spring" I can still hum with my eyes closed!
But I had low self-esteem at the time, and I pretended to be confused! Later, this girl really married well, I saw someone some time ago, this girl is still so beautiful! Feng Dezhi said with a fluttering eyebrow.
But as he spoke, Feng Dezhi sighed, and his expression became lonely.
"Brother, you're not young anymore, and you have a child, why do you still have any crooked thoughts?" Liu Baotian made a joke at this time.
"What do you want! I'm under a lot of pressure in the unit now, and my little brother can't stand up, give me a woman, I can't get it, I'm a thief at best! I'm saying all this to you! Feng Dezhi said with a smile.
"Tell me? What does it mean? Liu Baotian said with a sullen face.
"Zheng Xiaotong likes you, you know this, right?" Feng Dezhi said categorically.
At this time, Liu Baotian also seemed to understand why Feng Dezhi said these words today.
Liu Baotian smiled awkwardly at this time, and he didn't squeak.
But then Feng Dezhi told Liu Baotian everything that happened yesterday!
Especially when Feng Dezhi preached about Liu Baotian's coma, Zheng Xiaotong's heart-rending confession, and the scene when Guan Ying appeared and she left lonely, Feng Dezhi's eyes turned red.
"Baotian, I know you like Guan Ying! I also know that what I said today is a bit redundant and may even make you feel embarrassed! But I still want you to know that Zheng Xiaotong is actually a really good girl! Of course, I'm annoyed by her. Feng Dezhi said as he pointed to his scratched face.
After Feng Dezhi told everything that happened after he fell into a coma yesterday, Liu Baotian also fell into infinite contemplation.
In fact, when Liu Baotian woke up yesterday, he was also thinking about a question! If it weren't for the fact that the woman kept calling his name, maybe he wouldn't know when he would come to his senses!
It's just that when Liu Baotian woke up, he saw Guan Ying, so he thought that Guan Ying woke him up, but now it seems that the person who pulled him out of the darkness should be Zheng Xiaotong.
And everything Zheng Xiaotong did also made Liu Baotian's mood fall to the bottom! Although Liu Baotian knew that Zheng Xiaotong liked him, he simply thought that Zheng Xiaotong was just a whim, but now it seems that the little girl is serious.
"Brother, to be honest, I'll be honest with you, if I hadn't met Guan Ying! Even if I knew that Zheng Xiaotong liked me so much, I must have been with her, but now, Guan Ying and I are very good, and we are also in love, what do you think I can do? Liu Baotian drank all the glass of liquor in front of him, and said helplessly.
"Do you like her?" Feng Dezhi asked.
Liu Baotian hesitated for a while, he shook his head at first, but then nodded again, and after thinking for a few seconds, he finally couldn't help but say: "If you like it, you must like it, and I'm quite willing to play with her!" But to be honest, now that I think about it, I probably really didn't dare to be with her in the first place! But it's too late to say anything. ”
Yes, when Liu Baotian first came to Yunlong, he was not as prosperous as he is now, he was regarded as a complete rural child! But Zheng Xiaotong is a well-deserved little princess.
In addition, when the two of them met, Zheng Xiaotong always looked high, so how dare Liu Baotian have a little crooked thoughts about Zheng Xiaotong.
Even if Liu Baotian got along later, his awe and fear of Zheng Xiaotong had already formed.
So his love for Zheng Xiaotong is somewhat deformed, which is why he didn't dare to face Zheng Xiaotong for a long time.
But the current situation is that he realizes that he likes Zheng Xiaotong, but because of Guan Ying's existence, he can only endure this thought.
As soon as Liu Baotian finished saying this, Feng Dezhi didn't know what to say, or he felt that he had finished saying everything, and if he went down in the ink, he would become a villain.
"Okay, I won't tell you about these things about children's love! Guan Ying is also very good, a big beauty, how can there be a perfect thing in this world! That's pretty much it. Feng Dezhi changed the subject.
Although Feng Dezhi talked about a lot of happy things later, and Liu Baotian did his best to echo them, his mood was never high.
Especially when he thought of the picture of Zheng Xiaotong wanting to live and die with him when he was in a coma, he couldn't wait to give himself a big mouth.
Feng Dezhi had the intention to beg Liu Baotian to do something, so he drank in a hurry! Liu Baotian was not in a good mood, so there was no shortage of this wine.
So it didn't take long for the two of them to be confused.
"By the way, my brother has another matter to look for you today! But don't be embarrassed, you can do this thing, if you can't do it, you can just tell me directly, don't hurt our buddies' feelings because of this little thing. Feng Dezhi saw that the time was almost up, and then said.
"Brother, if there's anything, just say it." Liu Baotian said immediately.
"Your second brother's appointment has been down for a while, and the publicity period will also pass, and he will be the number one in Factory 7 by then! Let's see if you can help me say yes, and see if there are any vacant positions on your second brother's side? I don't need anything too good, it's just a team secretary, and I'm willing to go. Feng Dezhi said.
"Brother Feng, after a while, my second brother will get married, I will be the best man, I want to talk to him about this matter later, if he nods, you will find him again! I guess my second brother can give me this little face! Liu Baotian said with a smile.
In fact, Feng Dezhi also guessed that this matter was not difficult for Liu Baotian, but when Liu Baotian gave an answer, this kid was still very happy.
And when the two of them were full of food and drink, and walked out of the hot pot restaurant with their shoulders hooked, Feng Dezhi suddenly said to Liu Baotian: "Baotian, don't look at me as a sleek person, in fact, I am a responsible person!" So, I'm losing all my life! You're the same as me, you're also a responsible person, but my brother hopes that you won't be wronged in your life! Life is so long, good days are just a few years, and when it's over, it's really over! Don't let yourself regret it! ”
As soon as Feng Dezhi finished saying this, Liu Baotian didn't take a stubble, but he remembered Zheng Xiaotong's appearance in his mind.
"Will I regret it?" Liu Baotian said secretly in his heart.
In fact, when Liu Baotian had this idea in his heart, he already regretted it! It's just that some things are easier said than done!
Half a month later, when the honest Liu Baotian met Guan Ying, whose eyes were full of love, he also decided that she would be the only one in this life!
