Chapter 1370 The old father’s vigilance, Lili’s first visit
Yao Yuling was very angry, but her anger was not just because Zhou Chen was snatched away, but also because she was dissatisfied with Zhou Chen's attitude.
When she took the initiative to show her kindness, Zhou Chen was lukewarm to her and almost refused her outright.
But now, Zhou Chen has found a little girl who is not as beautiful and charming as she is. Apart from her academic qualifications, is she not better than this little girl in any way? Is it just because she is a college student?
'shallow.'
She cursed bitterly in her heart. She didn't think there was something wrong with herself, she just felt that there was something wrong with Zhou Chen's vision, um, and vanity.
Yao Yuling, who felt unhappy, even forgot the purpose of her visit, twisted her body and walked out of the dining car, out of sight but out of mind.
Cai Xiaonian looked at her leaving back and said softly: "It has to be Zhou Chen. In terms of women, Wang Xin and Niu Dali are far behind. Compare with what I have."
Ever since Wang Xin and Ma Kui became criminal police officers, he spent the most time in contact with Zhou Chen. They lived and ate in the same car when he was at work, and lived in the same compound when he was off work, so he was still relatively fond of Zhou Chen.
understand.
Although it was the first time for him to meet the girl Peng Yongli, he could see that Zhou Chen's attitude towards this girl was obviously different from other girls. He was really attentive, and this girl's attitude towards Zhou Chen
, it can also be seen that they are very friendly, which means they must have something to play with.
He also really admired Zhou Chen. This little girl was a college student. She looked like she was less than 20 years old. She was also very beautiful. Zhou Chen could actually win. He had to admire her.
Zhou Chen didn't care about other people's looks at all. He was giving a lecture to Peng Yongli at this time. He had never gone to college in this world, but his reserve of knowledge was not comparable to that of a college student, let alone teaching Peng Yongli, a freshman.
, even if they are postgraduate or doctoral students, he can teach them without any pressure.
In this short period of time, Peng Yongli admired Zhou Chen even more. She asked a lot of questions, but Zhou Chen could answer them every time. It was really amazing.
Peng Yongli stayed in the dining car until dinner before leaving. During this time, Yu Xingguo took Qin Yan and You Yuejin with him. He was very discerning and did not disturb Zhou Chen at all, and took care of all the work.
As soon as Peng Yongli left, colleagues in the car gathered around Zhou Chen and began to inquire about the situation.
"Zhou Chen, who was that girl just now?"
"friend."
"Oh my god, it's already like that, why are you still friends?"
"Okay, I actually found a female college student to make our university look good."
"A good match. I think you two are really a good match."
"…………"
Zhou Chen responded with a smile to everyone who was full of gossips. Because of Peng Yongli's sudden arrival, he suddenly became the topic of everyone's conversation and was being asked about.
After dealing with these gossips, Zhou Chen got back to work.
On today's trains, there are basically few major incidents and constant minor incidents. Most of them can be solved by the conductor. If it is difficult to solve, the train police will be contacted. Relatively speaking, the job of the train conductor is simpler than that of the train conductor.
During the next trip, Peng Yongli came to see Zhou Chen twice more, and even had dinner with Zhou Chen, but not only the two of them, but also Peng Mingjie.
Zhou Chen naturally saw the vigilance and warning in Peng Mingjie's eyes, but he pretended not to see it. He had been an old father more than once, so he could naturally understand what Peng Mingjie's mentality was now. The best way was to pretend to watch.
If you don’t understand, just ignore it.
Occasionally, Peng Mingjie's tone was not very good, and Zhou Chen pretended not to understand. Peng Mingjie was also very depressed when he saw Zhou Chen's lack of enthusiasm, but seeing his daughter's attitude towards Zhou Chen being so good, he could only sigh.
It’s hard to stay in college if you’re a female.
After arriving in Harbin, Zhou Chen said goodbye to Peng Yongli and the others.
"When you are about to start school, call me again and I will buy a ticket for you."
Peng Yongli showed a sweet smile: "Okay, I will call you then and I will take your train."
After bidding farewell to Zhou Chen, Peng Yongli happily went home with her father. Seeing how happy she was, Peng Mingjie felt very uncomfortable.
"Lili, what's so good about that kid? You're a college student."
Peng Yongli didn't take it seriously: "What's wrong with college students? Although Zhou Chen never went to college, it's just because he didn't take the college entrance examination. His knowledge is much better than mine, and he is also better than the male classmates in our school."
This is not because she is deliberately advocating Zhou Chen, but it is a real feeling. Zhou Chen is very consistent with her expectations for her partner, both externally and internally.
Compared with Zhou Chen's maturity and stability, the male classmates in the school were far behind. The most important thing was that Zhou Chen treated her very well during the several contacts with her, and he was very measured between advancement and retreat.
Therefore, she really has the idea of having a relationship with Zhou Chen now, but she is a girl. Even if she has this intention, she is too embarrassed to bring it up first. She is waiting for Zhou Chen.
The winter vacation of the university has begun, which means that the Spring Festival is approaching. During this period, the Railway Bureau will start to be busy again, and Zhou Chen and the others are also a little busier than usual.
This year is very unfortunate. On New Year's Eve and the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Chen and the others have to leave the car, so they cannot celebrate the New Year at home.
On New Year's Eve, Cai Xiaonian specially invited Zhou Chen, Wang Xin and Niu Dali to gather together.
The place for the dinner was chosen at Zhou Chen's house. Cai Xiaonian provided food and wine. Wang Xin and Niu Dali also brought some new year's goods, such as melon seeds, peanuts, bacon and so on.
Cai Xiaonian poured wine for Zhou Chen and the others, raised his glass, and took the lead in saying: "We will leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so we will get together in advance today to wish everyone a happy New Year."
"Happy New Year."
The four of them clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
Cai Xiaonian raised his wine glass again: "Secondly, you all know about me. Yanhong and I are getting married after the Spring Festival, so we need help from my brothers then. The four cars for the wedding are just for us.
One car, no problem, right?"
"Of course it's no problem."
Niu Dali and Zhou Chen both said that it was no problem. Cai Xiaonian would choose to get married on a day when they were not traveling in the car, so they would both be free.
However, Wang Xin said with some hesitation: "To be honest, it's hard to say from my side. You also know the situation of the criminal police team. If there is any case by then, it will be busy day and night. Maybe it will be possible."
I have to go out of town to handle a case, so I can’t give you an answer now, but I promise that as long as there is no case that day, I will definitely come.”
"That's no problem."
Cai Xiaonian was very happy. Marriage these days is all about spectacle and excitement. With someone accompanying him, his pressure was naturally greatly reduced.
Wang Xin asked: "Didn't your future mother-in-law say she wants four new Phoenix bicycles? Are you ready?"
"I borrowed two cars from people at work, one in the compound, and Zhou Chen's car is pretty new, so there must be nothing wrong with it."
"Then the forty-eight legs are ready?"
"I have to thank you and the neighbors in the yard. Thanks to everyone's help, I drank this glass of wine."
Cai Xiaonian drank a glass of wine. If it were not for the help of the neighbors in the compound for this marriage, their family would definitely not be able to meet the requirements of his mother-in-law. He kept these kindnesses in his heart.
"I, Cai Xiaonian, put these words here today. From now on when you get married, whenever you need me, I will say hello without saying a word."
Niu Dali chuckled and said, "That's necessary. When Yao'er and I get married, your help will be indispensable."
"Yo yo yo."
Cai Xiaonian sneered: "Niu Dali, I don't know where you got your confidence. You are still married to Yao Er. I think you are just being sentimental."
Niu Dali was dissatisfied and said: "What do you mean, you know what? Yao'er and I have made great progress now. I believe that with my hard work, it won't be long before Yao'er will agree to my pursuit and get along with me."
My partner eventually married me."
"Haha." Cai Xiaonian and Wang Xin laughed at the same time.
"It's not dark yet, Dali, let's not daydream here. Come on, have a drink. Don't think about it until you're drunk."
"No, what do you mean, you look down on people, right? Well, just wait for me. Sooner or later, I will let you see me marry Yao'er."
That night, except Zhou Chen, Wang Xin and the other three drank too much. Zhou Chen sent them back one by one, and then came back to clean up the mess at home.
There were also many passengers on the New Year's Eve train, and Zhou Chen and the others spent this Spring Festival in the dining car.
…………
Harbin City.
Zhou Chen met Peng Yongli and Peng Mingjie at the station.
"Zhou Chen."
When Peng Yongli saw Zhou Chen, she waved to him happily.
Zhou Chen walked over and said: "Uncle, Lili, here is the ticket, here it is."
Peng Mingjie took the ticket and asked: "How much is it?"
"Uncle, I don't have much money..."
"No, just take as much as you need."
Peng Mingjie didn't give Zhou Chen a chance and directly blocked what Zhou Chen wanted to say. Zhou Chen could only tell him the fare.
Peng Yongli happily told Zhou Chen: "We went to Ningyang in advance this time to visit Uncle Ma's house. My dad even bought a sheep to bring to Uncle Ma. My dad carried it on his back all the way.
Very tired."
When Zhou Chen heard this, he immediately said: "Leave it to me, uncle. I'll carry it. The passengers haven't started to get on the bus yet. No need to squeeze. I'll take you up first."
"Need not……"
Peng Mingjie was about to refuse Zhou Chen's kindness, but Zhou Chen just casually picked up the sheep that had tired him all the way. He also helped Peng Yongli's luggage bag and took the lead towards the car.
Go, Peng Yongli didn't think there was any problem and followed Zhou Chen happily.
Peng Mingjie was a little confused. After a few seconds, he exclaimed: "This kid is very strong."
The sheep he brought this time, including the bones and meat, weighed dozens of kilograms. It took a lot of effort for him to carry it with both hands. In the end, Zhou Chen lifted it up with one hand. He looked very relaxed.
This strength really shocked him.
It wasn't time to board the bus yet, but Zhou Chen took the Peng family and his daughter directly onto the bus.
"Uncle, it may not be convenient to put this sheep in the sleeper berth. If you don't worry, I can help put it in our place and bring it to you when we get off the car. What do you think?"
This time Peng Mingjie did not refuse anymore. It was really inconvenient to put the mutton weighing dozens of kilograms in the sleeper. He would always take a nap, so he nodded and said: "Then I'll trouble you."
"No trouble."
Zhou Chen first took them to the sleeping berth, and then placed the mutton in their staff compartment, next to his own bunk. Non-staff members could not enter, so they did not have to worry about it being taken away.
This trip back to Ningyang was not peaceful. I caught two thieves stealing things and a gangster who preyed on women.
Zhou Chen felt that these gangsters who attacked cars were really stupid. The crimes of gangsters these days were quite serious. Once they were charged with this crime, their whole lives would be ruined. Even relatives and friends could be punished.
been implicated.
When they arrived in Ningyang, Zhou Chen took the initiative to help Peng Mingjie and the others find a tricycle to pull people, and went back to the railway compound with them.
"Mingjie, tell me, come on, come and bring such a big sheep. How much will it cost in terms of meat tickets?"
The Ma Kui family were shocked when they saw that Peng Mingjie actually brought a sheep. It is not easy to eat meat these days. A whole sheep was unthinkable, but the Peng family and his daughter were thousands of miles away.
What a show of affection it is to bring it to them.
Peng Mingjie said with a smile: "Old Ma, our relationship is nothing to talk about. Once Lili leaves, I can't eat these alone at home. It would be fun to bring them over to eat with you. Sister-in-law, tonight
Cook mutton.”
Wang Sufang looked at Ma Kui, who could only nod with a wry smile: "Just listen to Mingjie, Yan'er, go cook with you."
"Okay, Dad."
Ma Yan was very happy. This sheep weighed several dozen kilograms and she would be able to eat it orally in the coming days. She had never been able to eat meat openly when she was so old, but now she had the opportunity.
Ma Kui gave another instruction: "By the way, Yan'er, I will divide a leg of lamb into pieces later and send it quietly to Zhou Chen's house."
Naturally, Ma Yan would not have any objections: "I know, I'll send it to you right away. Dad, how about sending one to Wang Xin's family too?"
"If you don't give anything to his family, I'm warning you. Don't give it secretly. If I find out, I won't be able to spare you."
"If you don't give it, you won't give it away. It's stingy. Wang Xin always gives us things."
Wang Sufang pulled away Ma Yan, who was muttering and very dissatisfied, and whispered a few words in her ear before she smiled.
"Come on, Mingjie, Lili, sit down quickly."
Zhou Chen was cleaning at home when he suddenly heard Ma Yan's voice.
"Zhou Chen, are you at home? I'm coming in?"
"come in."
Zhou Chen put down the rag in his hand and saw Ma Yan walking in carrying a snakeskin bag, followed by Peng Yongli and Ma Jian.
"My dad asked me to bring you a leg of lamb, and also asked me to ask you to come to our house for dinner later."
Zhou Chen said: "Come in and sit down first. I can take the leg of lamb, but you won't need it if you go to eat. I've already started cooking."
Seeing Zhou Chen's house bright and neat, Ma Yan said with a smile: "Every time I come here, I feel strange. You live alone and your house is cleaner than ours. It would be great if Wang Xin was half as diligent as you."
Already."
Zhou Chen took some candies for them to eat.
Peng Yongli did not sit down, but looked at Zhou Chen's house carefully. This was the first time she entered Zhou Chen's house. It was different from what she imagined. Just like Ma Yan said, it was very neat and clean, and
The furniture arrangement is also refreshing and looks very stylish.
"Zhou Chen, did you clean up this place all by yourself? These tables, chairs and furniture are so beautiful, especially the carvings on them. They are so beautiful. I heard from my sister that you can carve wood. Are these all?
Did you carve it yourself?"
"Yeah, I was bored, so I just made some of my own, just enough to catch my eye."
He had disposed of all the old furniture at home, and now all the furniture was built by himself. Although it is limited by the material, the appearance is indeed much better than the furniture of today's era.
