Chapter 135: The Perceptive Xie Zhiheng
Wedding banquets in this era are not so fancy, but Xia Keqing and Shen Jichuan, as the newlyweds, still have to go around the table to toast, express their welcome, and accept everyone's blessings.
Xia Kexin and Shen Xiaochuan followed their respective sisters and brothers to help out, acting as bridesmaids and best men.
When they arrived at the army's table, Xia Kexin lost her grip and spilled the wine in her glass, some of it directly on Xie Zhiheng's head.
Xia Kexin was so scared that her face turned pale. "I, I didn't mean it."
Xia Keqing was also a little embarrassed. Just as she was about to speak, she heard the man chuckle, "Little sister, you can't attract my attention with this..."
Xia Keqing:?
Xia Kexin took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, I accidentally spilled some wine on you. Please wipe it off yourself."
After saying that, he stood behind his sister Xia Keqing.
Xia Keqing glanced at her sister, then looked deeply at Xie Zhiheng, raised the corners of her lips slightly, and toasted as usual.
In the original text, this assistant would speak for the hero in front of the heroine from time to time, allowing the heroine to accumulate a lot of original favorability towards the hero.
Xia Keqing was right in her guess, he really had a lot of opinions about her, but he couldn't influence Shen Jichuan's thoughts, he could only watch them get married, and he had to personally help her deliver the dress, he didn't know how aggrieved he felt.
That's why they look for trouble.
It seemed that it was wise for her to be on guard against him.
Shen Jichuan stared at his brother for a while, his eyes slightly disdainful.
But he didn't say anything.
Today was his day after all.
Xiao Zhang on the side immediately changed the subject to liven up the atmosphere, and the matter was over.
After returning home, Xia Kexin complained to her sister, "Why are the soldiers in my brother-in-law's army like this? Do they really think they are so popular? I am my sister's biological sister. Even if he is good-looking, there is no need for me to deliberately pour wine on his head to attract his attention, right?"
"Who does he think he is?"
Xia Keqing was very pleased with her sister's sobriety, "You are right, we should never be fooled by a man just because he looks good!"
"We women have many choices in our lives. We don't necessarily have to get married and have children. Even if we do, a man's appearance is the least important."
"If other conditions are met, good looks are the icing on the cake, and even if they are not good-looking, it is also OK as long as they are pleasing to the eye."
Xia Kexin seemed to be thinking about something.
"Sister, I understand. Then I won't get married in the future. What's the point of being a man?"
Xia Keqing glanced at her. It was obvious that this little girl was slow in understanding.
Xia Keqing is one of those who suddenly become enlightened.
There is no way around it. Children without parents and no one to take care of them tend to mature earlier.
So she knew what she wanted very early on.
But she said nothing about what her sister said, she just smiled, but Xia's mother couldn't help but say, "Your sister's good day, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"What kind of girl doesn't want to get married?"
Mother Xia wanted to say something, but when she saw her eldest daughter smiling, she stopped talking.
Xie Zhiheng, who was not far away, watched his good brother couple toasting for a while and then sat down. He raised his eyebrows but didn't take it to heart. He had been a scout in his early years and seemed narcissistic, but in fact he was alert and observant.
When the banquet was almost over, he quietly found Shen Jichuan and pointed at two people not far away, "Are these two people from your village?"
Shen Jichuan shook his head, "Probably not."
Xie Zhiheng raised his eyebrows, "Is there anyone in your village that you don't know?"
Shen Jichuan pursed his lips, "Although I left home early, I know all the older people in our village."
In this era, there were basically no strangers in the village. Even if there were, they were just educated youth who had gone to the countryside.
At that time, Shen Jichuan was still at home, and they all knew each other.
However, since the relaxation of the policy, except for those educated youth who got married and had children in the local area, the rest tried their best to return to the city, and those who remained were all old acquaintances.
Shen Jichuan has always had a good memory.
So just by looking at "Father Han and Mother Han", you can tell that these two people are strangers and are not villagers from this village.
As for where they came from, they were probably relatives of someone's family, and it wasn't uncommon for them to come and join in the fun.
In the early years, every household lived a hard life. If someone went to another family to take advantage of someone "verbally", the two families would fight.
It's different now.
At least the Shen family doesn't lack food.
In the village, banquets are held without name registration. Adding two more people to the meal is just a matter of adding two more bowls and two more pairs of chopsticks.
No one would care so much on such a happy day.
Who knew that after Xie Zhiheng heard this, his handsome face became even more solemn, "Old Shen, you are in trouble."
Shen Jichuan: …
If Shen Jichuan could speak the Internet language of later generations, he would probably say, "Brother Laoliu, I was getting married today, why did I get into trouble?"
If you can't speak, just shut up!
Of course, Shen Jichuan is a reserved and reserved person, so he wouldn't say that.
But Old Xie was a man who didn't speak politely, and Old Shen was a little unhappy, "Old Xie, you're good enough."
The two have been good brothers for many years. Xie Zhiheng immediately leaned over and whispered, "You know I used to be a detective. Look at those two people. They have been looking at the young girls in the village, as well as the pretty young wives. They were whispering while looking at them, and trying to get close to them."
"In my opinion, there must be some conspiracy. You'd better find out the origins of these two people."
"You haven't forgotten the case you handled in Shenzhen, have you?"
Shen Jichuan frowned, remembering that the last time he was in Shenshi was to help his respected elders take back the younger generation he left in the village.
As a result, a large-scale human trafficking den was accidentally destroyed.
That group of human traffickers has indeed developed their illegal activities into an industrial chain, making it difficult to guard against.
Shen Jichuan nodded, "Okay, I understand, I'll ask my mother."
As soon as he came back, Xia Keqing asked him, "What are you talking about?"
Shen Jichuan had nothing to hide from Xia Keqing, so he told her about Xie Zhiheng's suspicion.
Xia Keqing looked surprised, "You said, Captain Xie used to be a scout?"
Shen Jichuan raised his eyebrows, and Xia Keqing asked again: "What about you?"
Shen Jichuan: "Armored troops."
Xia Keqing actually didn't know much about the types of troops in the army, but that didn't stop her from exclaiming "Wow" with shining eyes, "So awesome!"
Shen Jichuan stared at her deeply, and the little girl's eyes sparkled, as if he was not an armored soldier, but some particularly powerful big shot.
In fact, when we first join the army, don’t we all start as a soldier?
He likes to study instruments, and Xie Zhiheng has sharp five senses, so they have their own division of labor. This is a talent.
Shen Jichuan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips and let out a pleasant hum.
But Xia Keqing quickly thought of something, "Those two people should be my cousin's parents-in-law."
"If you say so, I also suspect that they have bad intentions."
"I don't know where Xia Feifei found this person from."
When Xia Kexin heard this, she started to complain, "It seems that a certain place in the county is going to develop tourism. Xia Feifei happened to be nearby and ran into Han Feng. It is said that Han Feng's family runs a business, and this time he just came here to play with his elders."
"What's wrong, brother-in-law? Is there something wrong with Han Feng?"
Xia Kexin's face was full of gloating as she spoke.
Who made Aunt Xia always pick on her mother, and Xia Feifei always compare herself with her sister?
So she wished she would be in trouble.
It is said that her man drove his motorcycle into the field and broke his bones. How tragic!
