Lu Chengwu sent Chen Jing on the train, changed the subway a few times, and walked slowly along the way, and it took more than an hour to get from Shanghai South Railway Station to his home.

Huang Xiaoquan sat upright on the sofa, expressionless. He held a freshly lit cigarette in his hand, the cigarette was long, and the lit end was emitting curling white smoke. I heard the doorbell ring, and snuffed it out in the ashtray. When I opened the door, I saw He Tiantian, her eyes were swollen from crying. Two glasses of Starbucks in his hand. She handed Huang Xiaoquan a cup, and when she saw Lu Weiguo sitting inside, she was hesitating to give him the rest of the cup. "He just drinks tea." Huang Xiaoquan sneered after speaking.

Huang Xiaoquan used to be an employee of a state-owned company in Shanghai, and has been idle at home since retiring at the age of 50. When she was young, Huang Xiaoquan was beautiful and generous, and there were many people who pursued her in the factory. Her husband Lu Weiguo was her colleague, although her husband's salary was not high, but at that time, because of his good family background and house, he was "married" to him. Lu Weiguo has an older brother and a younger sister, the elder brother died of illness before getting married, and the younger sister opened a small shop after being laid off. After the family's private house was demolished, the brother and sister had one set, and the unit was divided into a small house, so that he could rent out the demolished house and live in the small house assigned to the unit by himself. Although it is only more than 40 square meters, it is not a problem to live with Huang Xiaoquan. After getting married and having a child, the two discussed whether to live in a big room, and the wife was distressed about the stable rent money, so she decided to be wronged. Lu Weiguo was sulking for a few years because of this, and later saw that the price of the house had risen and planned to sell both houses, plus the savings of these years to change to two large sets in XH District, but he was also rejected by his wife, on the grounds that the current house is not rising normally, and when the price falls in the future, the money to buy a big house is equivalent to throwing it away, so it is better to make some other investments in cash in hand. So she and her card friends speculated in stocks and bought funds together, just in time for the bull market, and made a little money, and Lu Weiguo endured it. Unexpectedly, the price of the house has risen rapidly in recent years, and the little stock money she earned is nothing compared to her original plan. Now the two sets of old and dilapidated schools, there is no good school district, it is not easy to sell, and the rent cannot be rented at a good price, and I can't help but feel a little regretful in my intestines.

Fortunately, my son is angry and admitted to Tongji University, if he goes abroad for further study, whether he stays abroad or returns to Shanghai in the future, it will be a vast sky. Who would have thought that he actually went to Dongguan, and his son, who had always been obedient before, didn't know why he rebelled. Suddenly brought a girl back before the Chinese New Year. Lu Weiguo carefully observed this girl, she was indeed handsome, tall, but she spoke a little loudly, as if her family education was not strict. Although he didn't quite accept He Tiantian's kind of delicate lady's virtue, but after careful comparison, he still felt that He Tiantian was more suitable for his own family Lu Chengwu.

Huang Xiaoquan naturally needless to say. On the first day of the fight, Chen Jing entered the house, and he got angry in front of him and scolded Lu Chengwu in Shanghainese. Then let Lu Chengwu take Chen Jing to the hotel to live, and did not allow her to enter his house. Seeing the panicked expression of the little girl in Hubei, he concluded that this girl was a girl from the mountains, who was good for nothing but her good looks, and she had neither a higher education nor a person who had seen the world. So she was even more hard-hearted, how could this kind of pheasant flying out of the ravine or a magpie marry into her mansion? She didn't believe in the nonsense of a golden phoenix flying out of a mountain nest, let alone a phoenix, even if it was a fairy. My little sister said that this kind of foreign woman, it is better to have less contact, her son is hooked, and sooner or later he will have to turn his face with himself, and there are many examples of this kind of thing. Now that his son is getting married and buying a house, he has to rely on himself, as long as he can't pass her, will Lu Chengwu dare to fly? He Tiantian wants what he wants, he has a high degree of education, a good major, and he is the right person, if the two are together, they can buy one less suite. This little red guy can't calculate this account, and the old lady will help her calculate it.

Lu Chengwu took Chen Jing into the hotel in a fit of anger. In the next few days, he didn't call home or answer phone calls from home. Although Chen Jing asked to return to Dongguan, Lu Chengwu did not agree. Just said that Chen Jing would have a good time in Shanghai for a few days, and I don't know when I will have a chance in the future. So the Bund, the World Expo venue, the Aquarium, the Science and Technology Museum, and the Natural History Museum were all over the place. Chen Jing asked why she didn't go to the Oriental Pearl Tower, and Lu Chengwu said that Shanghainese didn't go there. It wasn't until Chen Jing insisted on going back to Dongguan that she bought a train ticket for the second day of the Lunar New Year and let Chen Jing go back.

When she returned home in a daze, it was He Tiantian who opened the door, and Lu Chengwu saw her crying red eyes like a peach. In the cramped living room sat the parents, both with straight faces. He Tiantian turned around and went in to get his bag and made a gesture of going out. Huang Xiaoquan stood up flexibly, went to the door and grabbed her hand, and said, "You stay, you have to go, he goes." The wings of a red guy are stiff, and he is about to go to heaven. From now on, Tian Tian is my daughter, and Nong Zhongsheng will not come back. He Tiantian was pulled into the room, closed the door, and shouted at Lu Chengwu: "Nong Ah is thirteen points? Looking for a countryman to tie your head? Ah is the pig's head three, and the heat is faint? Nong has a girlfriend, Ah is a clear man? I don't eat life, I don't have the surname Huang. With that, he rolled up his sleeves and rushed into the room as if looking for someone to take advantage of. He Tiantian hurriedly stopped and said, "Auntie, forget it." He has his options, and I don't have much to say. We're all adults, and now that he's with someone else, I'm not going to stay here. ”

"Whatever Nong says, Nong is my daughter-in-law. I didn't let the countryman pass by my door. You still don't believe Auntie? ”

He Tiantian did not speak.

"Enough!" Lu Weiguo slapped the table heavily. Huang Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment and looked at him.

"Don't go back to Dongguan, just look for a job in Shanghai. Otherwise, don't enter this house. “

Lu Chengwu did not speak.

"Which is your turn to speak here?" Huang Xiaoquan rushed over and pushed Lu Weiguo. Then he said to Lu Chengwu, "To what extent has Nong developed with the countrymen?" You break up with her right away. Then don't go to DZ City, how good is Shanghai, do you hear me? Look at Tian Tian, people are willing to forgive you, as long as you change your mind. Why don't you apologize quickly? ”

Seeing that Lu Chengwu didn't speak, Huang Xiaoquan suddenly winked at Lu Weiguo, "That's it, my uncle and I just happened to go out to buy vegetables, wait for Xia Tiantian to stay here to eat, don't go, okay?" For the New Year, you said that the family was polite, and how good was it to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with the United States? He Tiantian moved to He Tiantian again, stretched out his two hands and held her hand tightly, "Tian Tian, you must not be angry with this kid, with my understanding of him, he must not dare to do anything, I dare to bet with you." His heart is still towards you, and he just brought this countryman to anger me. Do you know? ”

He Tiantian nodded.

"Okay, okay, let's go old coffin, don't disturb young people in love. Good felling? "Let's put on a shawl, take the bag and pull Lu Weiguo out of the door."

Lu Chengwu looked at He Tiantian and didn't speak for a long time. Finally sighed and said, "You must hate me, don't you?" I'm sorry. ”

He Tiantian walked over and threw himself into Lu Chengwu's arms, "How long have you been getting along with her?" ”

"It didn't take long, more than two months. Nothing actually happened to us. ”

"Nothing happened, how did you take her home?"

"Well, I was dizzy for a while. Actually, I regretted it a long time ago. ”

"Are you going back to Dongguan? As long as you don't go back and cut off contact with her, I won't blame you for the past. I miss you very much, I miss you day and night, you actually like someone else......" He Tiantian couldn't cry.

"Now you have the right to choose, if you want to leave me, you don't have to worry about my parents. I admit it. ”

"Are you still going back?"

"After all, I didn't find a job in Shanghai, so I couldn't stay at home."

"I don't agree, if you want to go back, then you can't break with her. Lu Chengwu, you disrespect me too much! ”

"Well, I'll take a few days off after the New Year and look for a job in Shanghai. If there is a smooth response, I only need to go back for less than a month, and after completing the resignation procedures, I will go back to Shanghai. Do you think it's okay? ”

"Why do you have to go back? Can't I leave the resignation formalities? Wouldn't it be easier to find a job again than before? “

Lu Chengwu smiled bitterly, "If I don't go through the resignation procedures, it means that my previous work experience is not recognized, and the pension and insurance I pay are to be transferred, I can't have a professional stain, out of professional ethics, I must also go back to complete the procedures." Are you still not at ease? ”

He Tiantian nodded, "Of course I'm not at ease. Although I heard my aunt say that Chen Jing has no culture and her family background is not good, I learned from Lu Chengwu's classmates who have seen Chen Jing that her appearance is absolutely extraordinary.

Lu Chengwu frowned, stretched out his hands, and tentatively grabbed He Tiantian's hands, but the other party did not dodge. I don't know if Chen Jing gave herself a long face, made her waist straight, or argued with her parents to make her really fat and thick-skinned. actually kissed He Tiantian on the face. Then he said, "You have to believe me." I was just dizzy for a moment, and I knew in my heart who was light and who was heavy. “

He Tiantian seemed to grasp the long-lost dignity and obediently hugged himself by her. immediately pushed Lu Chengwu away and said, "I am unwilling to forgive you so quickly." Dongguan still can't let you go back. “

Lu Chengwu was ruthless, looked at He Tiantian's delicate and fair face, and said, "In this way, you go back with me." So she retreated. You tell me? “

Now it was her turn to be embarrassed. "Isn't that right? What happened to me? Zhenggong catches the junior? ”

"Look, don't you have the courage to do so? You're a graduate student at a prestigious university. Rightfully named, isn't it? “

"No, I'm not fooled by you. You are not allowed to go, and I will not go. My mom and dad would break your legs if they knew. Believe it or not? “

"Aren't you distressed to break my leg?"

"It's good to interrupt, it won't give me a run."

Lu Chengwu saw that He Tiantian's state was basically stable, and he had a bottom in his heart. "Think about it, okay? I haven't found a job yet, and that's all a bit of a thing. “

"Lu Chengwu, let me ask you again. Did you have sex with that girl? ”

"Nope! I swear, not really. ”

"Why? Did she reject you or something else? ”

"Not really! Actually, I've been hesitant, I always feel like it's not time for the fire. She is very active, you know, a person in an eighteenth-tier city in Hubei, who has not read any books, always talks about some nonsense, does not understand anything, and is a very rustic person. I really didn't think about going far with her, so I was afraid that she would get entangled in the future. So there was no relationship. ”

"It's important to me. I don't want my husband to have anyone else before marriage. You know I'm clean. I'm still ......" Speaking of this, He Tiantian's face turned red almost instantly. "Anyway, if I find out you're lying, I won't forgive you. Even if I break my leg at that time, I won't feel distressed. ”

"That's for sure, I can swear, swear with my parents' lives." Lu Chengwu raised his right hand and stretched out three fingers.

"Alright, alright." In fact, it is not so much that He Tiantian believes in Lu Chengwu, it is better to say that she does not dare to really face the fact that she is not afraid of 10,000, but is afraid of what if.

After He Tiantian went back, he pondered repeatedly, and always felt that he could not let Lu Chengwu go back to Dongguan anymore. But he was worried that it would affect his career prospects, and he was a little flustered for a while. The thought of losing him seems to be a little unsure of how to live. This period of time was like a nightmare for me. And because of his feelings, he didn't dare to talk to his parents about it. If you really want to keep him right now, there really is only one person who can help. Make up your mind and go to Pudong tomorrow.

Early the next morning, He Tiantian first called his uncle and made sure that he had time between 10 and 11 a.m. before driving from Zhabei to YP District. She knew that her aunt liked a kind of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, so she went to a friend's shop and bought a pack, this kind of coffee she was not used to drinking, and she couldn't taste the sour and sweet as it was rumored, just sour.

The community of my uncle's house is very green, and the doorman is also very friendly. She easily found downstairs. I rang the doorbell, and after a while, the door opened automatically. When taking the elevator, I accidentally pressed to twenty-two, and found that there was no response, and I was stunned for a few seconds before I thought that it was twenty-three, and after pressing it, the display light was on again. When I got to the twenty-third floor, I found that the door was open, and the stairwell seemed to have air conditioning, which was very warm. After He Tiantian entered the door, his aunt smiled and took a pair of snow-white slippers, watched her change them, and then took her hand into the screen, and the door behind her closed automatically. "Auntie, why are you keeping the door open? What if it's the bad guys? ”

"Silly girl, I saw your pretty little face in the curfew. And our floor is my household, if I don't open the door for him, no one will be able to reach my floor. Afraid of what? ”

"Auntie, this is your favorite coffee."

"Ouch, you're so polite. This coffee is good, I'll make you a cup. ”

"Auntie, I don't drink, I don't understand, don't waste it."

"It's okay, I have a lot of them at home." He lowered his head to her ear, "The varieties on the top of the 7,000-foot mountain that your uncle's friend gave him are even more delicious." ”

He Tiantian was embarrassed for a while, of course she didn't know that there was a difference in height, so she had to nod again and again. My uncle's house is a typical Baroque decoration style, the chandelier is so magnificent, like the shape of a crown, layered, stacked with citrine inlaid in a bronze frame, the milky white marble used on the wall has an irregular but generous natural texture, the wall is inlaid with oil paintings, the sofa has an exaggerated arch, like a shell, even the sleeve is lined with gold wire, the coffee table is also white, and there are some golden curves decorated with some bronze retro ashtrays, The curtains are embroidered with ornate lace, and the carpet is especially delicate and delicate, and it looks like you are on the grass when you step on it. My aunt said that my uncle was having a meeting in the study, and asked He Tiantian to eat some fruit and rest first. When I passed by the kitchen, I found that there was a secondary hall, in which a huge dining table was set up, which could accommodate a dozen or so people to eat, simple and elegant, with two candlesticks on the table, and then six cutlery were spread out. A napkin was placed under each cutlery, and the knives and forks next to the plates seemed to glow golden. When I saw a large dining table and walked to the study, I glanced at the kitchen next to it and felt as if I had arrived in a hotel kitchen, where the tableware was full of dazzling but neat and tidy dishes. There is an island design in the kitchen. Next to the spotless pool, there stood my aunt, satisfied with the vanity from He Tiantian's gaze. And she herself used an ordinary planer knife to peel apples for her. My aunt is from Zhejiang, and it is said that she has no background, except for money. She was short and had freckles, and when her mother was chatting with her, she asked her why she didn't get rid of these freckles, but she said disapprovingly that in Europe and the United States, this is a sign of sexiness.

My uncle and my mother were half-siblings, and my grandfather left a house, sold it and bought two sets, one for my uncle and one for my mother. But my uncle worked very hard and studied a lot, and later studied in the United States, originally planning to immigrate, but later married my aunt and gave up. At that time, some people said that the uncle was for the money of the aunt's family, and He Tiantian was deeply suspicious of this. Although my uncle is a talent, it is surprising that I like my aunt, and the gap between the two can almost be condensed in height. But after my uncle returned to Shanghai, he joined a well-known multinational company, and quickly became a high-level company, with a very good salary, and my uncle was an honest person, how could he be with my aunt because of money?

My aunt put the sliced apples in a beautiful clear glass bowl, took a toothpick from the cupboard, picked a piece and poked it, and handed it to her.

"Thank you, aunt."

"I'll go see if your uncle is okay. I'll make coffee later while you talk. “

He Tiantian nodded, took a bite of the apple, and felt sour but not crispy.

My uncle is now the vice president of a multinational company in Shanghai, in charge of the Shanghai R&D center. The company is engaged in the production of auto parts, and has several branches in the country. When I graduated from college, my uncle said that he could work directly in his company, and if it wasn't for my mother's insistence on not relying on others, maybe I wouldn't have gone to graduate school. Although his mother and uncle are siblings, in He Tiantian's opinion, his mother seems to have a kind of pride and is unwilling to accept any younger brother's help. And there are not many private contacts, and the uncle who has no children treats him like a daughter. My aunt is different, and she is a little defensive in her words, which may be related to the fact that she has no heirs for many years. It is said that she had too many miscarriages when she was young, which led to complete infertility, and there is another theory that the two insisted on Dink. But my uncle, who is now in his early forties, doesn't look like a person who is willing to dink. I didn't tell my parents when I came to him this time, she knew very well that with her mother's character, she would definitely oppose it.

"Tian Tian, are you here?" Uncle's voice came from far and near. Until the tall figure appeared at the kitchen door. He already had some gray hair, his figure was well maintained, his waist was straight, and he didn't look like a man in his early 50s, but like he was in his early 40s. But the dark circles under the eyes are severe, and the lips are also a little purple. It seems that the physical condition is not too good.

"Hello uncle."

"Gee, you haven't been to see your uncle in months."

He Tiantian smiled and followed him out of the kitchen, the two came to the study, the uncle greeted his parents, greeted him for a while, looked at himself, quietly, but seemed to have seen through, "Is there something wrong with me?" “

"Uncle, only you can help me this time." He Tiantian originally planned to tell his uncle about the matter, but later omitted the fact that Lu Chengwu had a new love in Dongguan, but said that Dongguan and Shanghai were far away and they met too little, and he was very serious about this relationship, hoping that he could have a new development in Shanghai.

"I remember he studied mechanics and graduated in '08?"

"'09. I did it for a year in a company over there."

"Is it right to call it TMK? It's a very famous company, and you can learn a lot there, which is not a bad thing. “

He Tiantian's eyes turned red, "Uncle, won't you help me?" “

"Help, of course. Don't cry. "My uncle looked for tissues everywhere, and he had a desk, computer, documents, pens, etc., but he couldn't find them. I had to stand up, took a pack of pumping paper from the cabinet behind me, and hurriedly tore it open, wanting to draw a few, but almost pulled out half of the pack and gave it to He Tiantian. "I'll help you!"

He Tiantian looked at his uncle's clumsy movements, and smiled again, "What do you say?" “

"I'll go to our HR to see what he's suitable for, and it's definitely fine."

He Tiantian nodded and said to his uncle, "Are there many young and beautiful girls in your company?" “

After hearing this, the uncle looked at her suspiciously, and then smiled, "Why do you ask that?" “

"It's nothing, I'm afraid someone else will rob me."

"Is that kid really that important to you? But Tian Tian, men are not locked by chains. Naturally, our company also has young and beautiful ones. If a man is responsible for you, how can he empathize? But then again, you're so good, that bunny cub dares to bully you? Don't worry, he's there with me, don't dare to make a mistake! “

He Tiantian was very satisfied. Although my aunt forgot to bring coffee later.
