Chapter 254 is a photo of my beautiful sister!
The table gradually became lively, and no one mentioned drinking again as the glasses were clinking.
Mr. Shen drank the old duck soup with gusto, and from time to time he would argue with Mrs. Shen about the way to keep healthy.
Shen Zhenguo was peeling shrimp for Chenchen, his rough knuckles moving with exceptional gentleness; Mu Nanyan and Xu Wenxin huddled together, whispering, and chuckling from time to time.
"Changfeng, the girl your Aunt Wang mentioned last time..."
Xu Wenxin suddenly raised her voice, but stopped mid-sentence.
She found that her son was staring at the screen of his mobile phone with a suspicious curve on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't hear what she said at all.
The other people at the table also noticed something unusual. Shen Changfeng, who was always very disciplined, was actually distracted at the dinner table. This was the first time in history.
"Cough cough!" Shen Zhenguo coughed twice.
Shen Changfeng suddenly looked up, and was met with six pairs of curious eyes. He hurriedly locked his phone screen, but his ears were red.
"What's wrong?"
"What are you looking at so intently? You've been keeping your phone with you since you came back. You've even answered several calls. Could it be that you're..."
Xu Wenxin narrowed her eyes and looked at him suspiciously.
Before Xu Wenxin could finish, Shen Changfeng interrupted her and said quickly:
"It's about the army."
Shen Changfeng quickly put the phone back into his pocket. When Chenchen heard Shen Changfeng say it was about the army, he thought he would see planes and cannons or something, so he went over directly. He saw Chenchen had already climbed onto his legs, and his little hand was digging into his pocket to take out the phone:
"Uncle, what are you looking at? I want to see it too."
"You little bastard!"
Shen Changfeng pressed his pocket, but was hit on the back of his hand by Mr. Shen with chopsticks:
"Don't play with your phone while eating! Your mom is talking to you!"
After hearing what Mr. Shen said, Shen Changfeng and Chenchen didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore. Chenchen returned to his seat, but his eyes still glanced in Shen Changfeng's direction from time to time.
"Mom, what did you just say?"
Shen Changfeng picked up his chopsticks and continued eating, speaking casually.
However, Xu Wenxin was not someone who could be fooled so easily. She looked at Shen Changfeng and asked:
"Is it really about the army? When you called me earlier, I asked you, didn't you say it was a private matter?"
Shen Changfeng didn't expect her mother to still remember this matter. He touched his nose and then said:
"Is it possible that it's not the same thing?"
Xu Wenxin was half-believing and half-doubting, but she didn't ask any more questions in the end. Shen Changfeng was already thirty years old, so it was not appropriate for her to ask him everything like she did when they were little.
"Director Wang's daughter, a piano teacher who studied abroad, would you like to meet her next week?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Changfeng subconsciously frowned: "I'm leaving in a few days, how can I have time next week?"
Xu Wenxin had almost forgotten about this and quickly said, "How about I arrange for you to meet in the next few days?"
"I haven't even met Director Wang's daughter, so I'm not going. It's so embarrassing. Mom, can you please stop arranging blind dates for me as soon as I get back? If you do that, I won't come back next time."
"Pah! What nonsense are you talking about! What do you mean you won't be back? You have to come back to me properly every time you have a holiday."
What Xu Wenxin couldn't stand the most was this kind of talk. When Shen Changfeng wanted to join the army, she was absolutely against it. But Shen Changfeng wanted to go, and three generations of the Shen family were soldiers, so she couldn't say anything. But during the first two years when Shen Changfeng joined the army, she basically slept through the whole night, always worried that Shen Changfeng would encounter some danger there.
Shen Changfeng also realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Mom, I won't say that next time."
Seeing Shen Changfeng admit his mistake, Xu Wenxin's attitude softened. She looked at Shen Changfeng and said earnestly:
"You're thirty years old now. When your dad was thirty, you were already in elementary school. Look at you, you've never even brought a girlfriend home. How can I not worry about you?"
Shen Changfeng retorted without thinking:
"Can today's society be compared to your time? Isn't it common for people like me to be unmarried at the age of 30?"
"How can it be common? Look at Yanyan, she is still two years younger than you, and Chenchen is five years old now."
Mu Nanyan, who was drinking soup, almost choked and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry:
"Aunt, why are you suddenly talking about me?"
Shen Changfeng seemed to have found a life-saving straw and said quickly:
"Exactly! And Nan Yan got married early, but ended up meeting the wrong person, and now she's all alone."
When Mu Nanyan heard this, she immediately became unhappy:
"Cousin, I'm different from you. I'm not alone. I still have Chenchen."
Mu Nanyan touched Chenchen's head while speaking, and Chenchen quickly echoed:
"That's right, Mommy still has me, so she's not alone."
The corners of Shen Changfeng's mouth twitched as he glanced at the two, one large and one small. He thought, "Don't try to tear him down like this. Are you concerned about the lonely man's problems now? Isn't the most important thing now to stop her mother from letting him go on a blind date?"
Xu Wenxin took over the conversation and continued:
"See? Yanyan still has Chenchen now, but you have nothing. When you get old, you won't even have anyone to take care of you. If you can suddenly give me a grandson, I won't let you go on blind dates."
Shen Changfeng was really at his wit's end and decided to just give up:
"I don't care. I'm not going anyway. I have to focus on my career now. When the time comes, I will naturally get married and have children."
Xu Wenxin sneered and looked at Shen Changfeng and said, "Career? Your father didn't miss out on getting married even when he was fighting on the front lines..."
"Dad! Please say a few words for me!"
Shen Changfeng looked at his father pleadingly, but saw Shen Zhenguo sitting upright with an expression that said "don't drag me into this" on his face.
Old Mrs. Shen suddenly interrupted:
"Wenxin, I saw the way Changfeng was looking at his phone just now. Could it be that he already has someone he likes? Zhenguo had the same silly smile when he wrote me a love letter."
The old man dragged out his tone meaningfully, and the whole table fell silent instantly.
Shen Zhenguo's face flushed red, and Shen Changfeng jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on:
"Grandma! It's really not... It's really about the military! Let me watch the training video again."
He finally came up with an excuse after a long time, but he saw Chenchen had already taken his phone and was poking at the screen with his little finger:
"Uncle is lying! This is clearly a photo of my beautiful sister!"
The moment the phone screen lit up, a photo of a girl's profile suddenly appeared. She had short, neat hair and was wearing a white coat. She was concentrating on debugging an instrument in the laboratory.
The corners of Shen Changfeng's mouth twitched. He now really regretted not setting a password for his mobile phone!
“Give it back to me!”
Shen Changfeng snatched the phone back, but it was too late. Everyone at the table looked at him meaningfully, even the usually serious Shen Zhenguo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Xu Wenxin was so excited that she dropped her chopsticks:
"Who is this girl? Why haven't you ever mentioned her before? If you have a girlfriend, just tell me earlier so I don't have to introduce you to other people."
