When Zhou Qing heard the word "Ah Qing", his heart softened.
But she still felt unhappy.
She ran out with her bag on her back in a rage. How could she go back so easily with just a few words of coaxing?
Zhou Qing had a somewhat stubborn expression on his face, holding his chopsticks tightly and remaining silent.
Shen Zhiyi looked at her, then looked at the pitiful Brother Zhu.
He smiled and said, "Brother Zhu, don't worry."
"Since you're here, why not have a meal with us?"
"It just so happens that my Jiang Cheng is here too. You two... haven't seen each other for a long time. Men should chat when they have nothing to do, to keep in touch with each other, don't you think?"
As Shen Zhiyi spoke, she reached under the table with her right hand and secretly pinched her man's thigh.
Then the hard muscles in his legs made my hands sore.
He frowned and glared at him with some displeasure.
Jiang Cheng: “…”
"Comrade Zhu Heng, please sit down and eat first."
Jiang Cheng smiled helplessly and gave Zhu Heng a look.
It was a silent communication between men, telling him to take it easy and sit down first.
Zhu Heng was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought about it before he understood.
Then he hung his head and sat down in the empty seat next to Zhou Qing.
Shen Zhiyi took pity on her delicate hands and didn't dare challenge Captain Jiang's strong thigh muscles again, instead gently scratching them with her fingertips.
Jiang Cheng's whole body was tense and his scalp felt a little numb.
I just put a mouthful of food into my mouth and it took a lot of effort to swallow it.
He reached out and grabbed Shen Zhiyi under the table, then glanced at her with his dark, narrow eyes.
Tell her that she understands what she means and stop it.
Shen Zhiyi curved his lips and laughed softly.
Then he continued to eat.
After finishing the meal, Shen Zhiyi quickly took Zhou Qing back to the main house, which made Zhu Heng anxious. He wanted to stop her but didn't dare to.
It stands in the middle of the yard like a stone waiting for his wife.
Aunt Liu and Zhou Ping also understood, as they were the young people who understood each other's affairs the best.
With Shen Zhiyi and Jiang Cheng trying to persuade them, they don't have to worry too much.
After all, times have changed, and people of the next generation certainly cannot understand each other's thoughts better than their peers.
So the two elders took the two children to clean up.
Jiang Cheng patted Zhu Heng on the shoulder and motioned him to go outside to talk.
Zhu Heng looked towards the main house again, then sighed deeply and followed Jiang Cheng out.
"Brother Jiang Cheng, I heard you got a promotion! I'm so busy at the pig farm... I didn't have time to congratulate you."
After going out, the two walked a few steps along the dirt road and stood under a big tree.
The wind in late autumn was a little bleak. Zhu Heng smiled simply and took out half a box of Daqianmen from his pocket.
He handed it to Jiang Cheng with both hands, which was a sincere congratulations.
Although Jiang Cheng hasn't smoked for a long time, it would be inappropriate not to accept this cigarette.
He nodded slightly, took it politely, and let Zhu Heng light it for him.
Jiang Cheng held the cigarette between his fingertips, not smoking, but just holding it up, and said sincerely: "I was on a mission before, so I wasn't home."
"I only heard after I got back that your eldest sister and brother-in-law helped with the backyard renovations... I haven't had time to thank you yet."
"Oh! Don't mention it!"
Zhu Heng's face turned abashed. He waved his hand, took a puff of his cigarette, and tutted his lips. "We're all a little embarrassed when we talk about this. My sister was thinking that Erpang's bullying of Ziqian before... was really unbearable."
"I wanted to take this opportunity to formally apologize to you, but your comrade Shen secretly slipped me a red envelope! There was only more, no less! When I think about this, I feel..."
Jiang Cheng pursed his lips, thinking that she was indeed his wife, so beautiful no matter what she did, but he said calmly: "Brother Zhu, this is what I should do."
"Let's get this one thing together."
"Your eldest sister and eldest brother hired people to work for our family, so we should pay them. Didn't we talk about the children before? Forget it, let's put it aside and not talk about it."
"...Okay! Wait until Chinese New Year. I'll bring you half a pig!"
Zhu Heng chuckled and took a puff of his cigarette.
After laughing, his eyes couldn't help but drift towards the courtyard gate, and he looked at Jiang Cheng with a frown: "Brother Jiang Cheng... I, I really don't know what to do!"
"Please teach me!"
"What do you mean by that? I admit my mistake and have come to pick her up. What if she still doesn't want to go back with me later?"
Jiang Cheng hasn't smoked for a long time.
He had never been addicted to it before, and he stopped doing it even more after Shen Zhiyi had a child.
But now that the topic of coaxing women came up, Captain Jiang, who would never frown even when facing a dangerous enemy, suddenly frowned and raised his hand to take a puff of his cigarette.
"Coaxing your wife...it's really a science."
After saying that, Jiang Cheng chuckled twice and turned to look at Zhu Heng.
There was an inexplicable hint of ruffianism and pride in his eyes as he said, "You know what, my wife has never been angry with me for more than a day."
"As for now, it definitely won't be overnight."
"Ah?" Zhu Heng, like a student full of excitement and curiosity, threw the cigarette butt and crushed it a few times with his feet.
"No, Brother Jiang Cheng, then you have to teach me!"
"I'm not very good with words, and I can't say sweet things... I can't compare to those educated youth who can read and recite poetry."
"Then tell the truth."
Jiang Cheng stopped smoking and squatted on the ground with his long legs bent.
Extinguish the smoke in the soil.
Zhu Heng also squatted down.
"Why, why do you tell me the truth?" He stared at Jiang Cheng with wide eyes.
"Say whatever you think. To coax your wife, you need to speak your mind to her clearly, not just say nice things to deceive her."
Jiang Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a deep voice: "I understood it before you came just now."
"You don't understand what she wants to hear."
"Whether it's treating her or nourishing her body, it's all my responsibility. But from your side, you should at least make her feel better first, right?"
"Or, if she really can't give birth to a child, you will marry someone else?"
"Bullshit! Impossible!"
Zhu Heng stiffened his neck and shook his head repeatedly, "I'm already this old, so much older than her! What else can I expect?"
"I don't want anything... No baby, no baby!"
"She is already my wife. I will only have this one wife in my life!"
"Look. Aren't you quite good at speaking?"
Jiang Cheng was amused, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised his chin slightly, "Alright, then hurry over, while the heat is still there, and go talk to your wife from the heart!"
