Chapter 10 The Evil Wife in Period Literature 9
"Hey, Lin Lao Hu, where are you going with the wine?" Political Commissar Fang asked curiously.
"Lao Fang, you don't know this, right? Lao Lin's precious daughter is getting engaged. Haven't you seen that his tiger has turned into a cat recently?" Bystander No. 1 laughed.
"Hey, Lao Lin, this is really not very kind of you. Your daughter is getting engaged, so you should at least treat us guys from our hometown to have a drink." This is the bystander number two who is eyeing the fine wine.
"Get out of here, I'm in a good mood today, Fatty, let's have a competition tomorrow..." Lin Dajun walked away cursing amid the jokes of his old friend.
Lin Xiang stood under the camphor tree at the entrance of the steel factory, boredly watching the crowd dressed in black, gray and blue disperse and merge into the street.
"Ding-ling, ding-ling." Cheng Jianfeng, who was riding his bike, looked at the person standing obediently under the tree, and his heart softened. "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Lin Xiang looked at the bicycle parked in front of her and smiled slightly: "Not bad." Then she climbed onto the back seat nimbly. In the past three months, her hands went from holding the back seat to now daring to hold the corner of his clothes.
Cheng Jianfeng looked at the little hand that timidly pulled at the corner of his clothes, and felt that he had been too angry recently. Thinking of the frequency of washing his underwear recently, he silently spit on himself in his heart.
The cool wind blew against her cheeks. Lin Xiang squinted her eyes. Before she knew it, she was about to get married.
However, she looked at the man in the front seat and he did give her a sense of security.
Knowing that she liked to eat fish, she would always send her one or two fish every now and then. My sister-in-law would laugh and joke that she might be a spirit cat.
Even his father went from disliking him to tacitly allowing him to pick him up from get off work every Friday.
Lin Dajun thought to himself, I am using courtesy before force. If this boy dares to bully my daughter in the future, haha... my iron fist will not allow it.
Although he was always busy with police work in the first month of their relationship because he had just started working, he would also take time out during his off-duty to watch a movie with her, or just walk slowly on the street with her one meter apart.
Still sitting in the corner, Cheng Jianfeng looked at the girl opposite him, frowning as she ate carrots, and pushed the bowl over helplessly: "If you really don't like it, give it to me."
Lin Xiang smiled and quickly put the carrots into the other person's bowl. In the end times, in order to survive, you have to force yourself to eat something you hate, but you don't have to do that in this life.
Maybe this is the benefit of having a partner?
After taking a big bite of the fragrant fried rice, Lin Xiang looked up and asked, "Will uncle and aunt's train arrive tomorrow?"
"Yes." Cheng Jianfeng remained silent, but looked at her with burning eyes. "Xiangxiang, wait until I settle my parents down, and I'll bring you to see my parents in a few days, okay?"
Hearing this, Lin Xiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and asked, "Okay, Brother Cheng, I wonder what uncle and aunt like? Do I need to bring any gifts?"
Humph, if you really make all kinds of demands, you should break up decisively. No one’s money comes from the wind.
He shook his head and said, "You don't need to prepare anything. Just follow me."
"How can you not prepare anything?" She looked at Cheng Jianfeng in a reproachful manner, and then said with concern: "Brother Cheng, eat quickly, the food will get cold soon."
The next day, at the train station.
Looking at the crowded train station, Cheng's mother followed closely behind Cheng's father and asked, "Boss, have you seen Xiao Feng?"
Cheng's father was also looking around when he suddenly saw his son in a police uniform walking towards him with big strides.
"Dad, Mom!" After taking the luggage from his parents, Cheng Jianfeng took his parents into the car.
"Mom and Dad, something happened at work, so I'm here on leave. I'll take you to my dorm first, and then go to the police station. Is this okay with you?"
"Okay." Hearing their son say this, the old couple waved their hands repeatedly. "You go and take care of your work, don't worry about us."
With a son who was working at the foot of the imperial city and eating public food, the couple held their heads high in the town. Whether at work or out, everyone would give a thumbs up when they mentioned their second son.
After helping his parents put away their luggage, Cheng Jianfeng gave them repeated instructions and finally drove to his workplace.
Mother Cheng stood at the window and watched her son leave. Then she looked around the house which had one bathroom, one living room and one bedroom. It was clean and tidy, but it still needed some cleaning.
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves and started packing her luggage.
Father Cheng was helping out and asked, "Have you brought your tickets and money?"
Mother Cheng didn't even raise her head. "What do you think?"
As she spoke, she took off the cloth bag she was wearing inside, found a pair of scissors from the kitchen, untied all the stitches, and took out the tickets and big reunion that were scattered everywhere.
After wetting her thumb with saliva, Cheng's mother began to count the receipts. All the allowances her second son had sent over the years were here.
It has been ninety or ten years since the second son graduated from high school and went to join the army, and they have not touched a penny of the money. After all, the old couple both have jobs, and they only have these two sons. They have been busy for most of their lives just for these two.
The second son is capable and his parents don't need to worry too much. The government has already taken care of his job. So the parents have to do their best to help him get married.
"Hey, Old Cheng, what kind of girl do you think your son has found? His telegram only said that he wanted to get engaged, and nothing else. I'm so worried." Cheng's mother put the money away, feeling a little uneasy.
"Why are you so anxious? A girl who can enlighten your young boy must be a good girl."
"Besides, his marriage is vetted by the state. If you don't trust your son's judgment, do you also not trust the state's judgment?"
Father Cheng was almost asleep sitting on the bed. He and his wife had not slept too much during the train journey for the sake of the money. One of them must have been awake, as he had not slept well for three days. His eyelids were about to close as soon as he touched the bed.
Seeing that the old man looked tired, Cheng's mother asked him to go to bed and sleep for a while, and then come and rest after she had finished cleaning up.
At night, Cheng Jianfeng opened the door carrying the single bed borrowed from his master.
The room was pitch black. He wondered where his parents had gone, but he heard some deep and shallow snoring coming from the bedroom.
That's right, the train ride these days must have exhausted my parents. Thinking of this, Cheng Jianfeng quietly put down the folding bed. Then he went to the kitchen, opened the window, lit the stove, and took out the old hen that he and Lin Xiang bought last night from the cabinet.
Fortunately, I listened to Xiangxiang's advice yesterday and had already prepared the chicken and cut it into pieces. Now all I have to do is put it in the pot and add seasonings and cook it.
Cheng Jianfeng skillfully made chicken soup while thinking of his partner who was sleeping soundly in bed in the night.
