Chapter 94 My Daughter Won't Marry Far Away
The two of them completely regarded themselves as the future sons-in-law of the family, and they were bound to act like the head of the family.
Chen Lie said he wanted to make beer duck, and Xiao Li said he wanted to make spicy chicken. Then Chen Lie said proudly that Wan Jiajia didn't like spicy chicken. Xiao Li looked lonely for a few seconds, and then said he wanted to make squirrel fish.
"Look at how narrow the kitchen is. Why don't you go out first? I can also make squirrel mandarin fish. How about you wait and try my cooking?"
Chen Lie said this while cutting the duck vigorously, looking back at Wan Jiajia from time to time.
Wan Jiajia, Wan's mother and the matchmaker sat together. No one spoke. They stared at the two of them, looking helpless.
At this moment, Xiao Li suddenly wiped his hands and said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll go talk to Jia Jia and Auntie. I'll trouble you with the dinner."
Chen Lie raised his head and looked at Xiao Li's smile. He felt that he had made a big mistake. The other person was going to steal from the rear, but he was still cooking here like a chef!
I didn't expect this Xiao Li to be so treacherous! Chen Lie was so regretful that his intestines were broken. He looked up at Wan Jiajia with a look of resentment. He saw Xiao Li approach Wan Jiajia and chat with Wan's mother.
Xiao Li tried hard to get close to Wan Jiajia, but Wan Jiajia's attention was always on Chen Lie, and her answers were not very sincere.
"Jia Jia, I heard you like watching movies. I happen to have two movie tickets issued by your company. If your time is suitable, let's go and watch it."
Wan Jiajia was smiling at Chen Lie at the time, and she didn't even think about what Xiao Li said. She just replied, "Okay, okay."
"Great, then let's meet at the entrance of the cinema!" Xiao Li excitedly took out the movie ticket and handed it to Wan Jiajia.
"What?" Wan Jiajia still had a smile on her face when her arm was poked. She looked at the movie ticket handed to her by Xiao Li in confusion, not knowing what she had just agreed to.
Wan's mother snorted, "Tsk, you kid, they're inviting you to the movies!"
It was Wan's mother who snatched the movie ticket and stuffed it into Wan Jiajia's hand. "Here, check the time, don't be late!"
The young man in front of her looked energetic, lively, and came from a well-off family. Wan's mother couldn't be more pleased. She thought that if Xiao Li and Jia Jia got together, their families would live close to each other, and Jia Jia could come back from time to time. It would be better than living with Chen Lie, who was homeless and might be sent somewhere by the army at a word, making it difficult for her to see him in the future.
Although Chen Lieren was far away in the kitchen, he pricked up his ears and used his disguised sensitivity to listen to the noises outside. When he heard Wan Jiajia agree to watch a movie with Xiao Li, he felt a pang of regret.
He should have made the first move. He had two movie tickets in his pocket! Why didn't he make an appointment in advance?
While cooking in the kitchen, Chen Lie began to reflect on himself. He had been too proud recently and thought he had already dealt with his father-in-law, so he got carried away. Who knew that his mother-in-law disliked him?
The key point is that he and Wan Jiajia haven't broken the window paper yet, and he is just happy about it alone. It's good for a love rival to appear at this time, so that he can have some sense of crisis, and he can also take this opportunity to make things clear with Wan Jiajia.
Chen Lie is a man who will not let go of his decision. Once he decides on a woman, that woman is her. As long as Wan Jiajia doesn't get married, he will keep pursuing her.
Wan Jiajia kept tilting her head. Although she was talking to Xiao Li, her eyes were always glancing at Chen Lie. When she saw Chen Lie lowering his head and looking a little unhappy, her heart also tightened.
"I'll go see how the meal is going." As soon as Wan Jiajia stood up, her mother grabbed her.
"I'll go and see. You've grown up and you've never been in the kitchen. What do you know?" Wan's mother smiled at the matchmaker and Xiao Li and said, "You guys chat. I'll go see how the meal is going."
Wan Jiajia was a little worried.
As soon as Aunt Wang entered the kitchen, Chen Lie quickly said, "Auntie, I can handle this by myself. Please leave quickly. It's too smoky here."
As he said this, he was about to push Wan Ma out.
"My child, I know what you are thinking." Mother Wan sighed, took the kitchen knife from the chopping board, and talked to Chen Lie while cutting vegetables.
Chen Lie knew that she wanted to say something that Wan Jiajia couldn't hear.
He said "hmm", "Auntie, go ahead and talk, I'm listening. Don't worry, no matter what you say today, I won't let Jia Jia know."
Wan's mother kept sighing, not knowing where to start.
She knew that Chen Lie was a good man, but not a good man.
"Jia Jia is my only daughter, and I love her so much. Thinking about her getting married, especially if she lives so far away, makes me sad."
"I just want to find her a suitable one near my home who can walk back to her parents' home. If she gets wronged, my father and she can immediately support her. When she has children in the future, I can also help her take care of the children."
Wan's mother raised her red eyes and smiled helplessly, "The child has grown up and has his own ideas. I can't control him anymore, but Chen Lie."
Having said this, Wan Ma suddenly stopped and looked at him with pleading eyes.
Chen Lie straightened his back, his expression became serious, and he said, "Aunt, please give me your instructions."
"Don't bring up the matter between you and Jiajia yet. If Jiajia takes the initiative to speak, I won't stop you... I know that your aunt is a little unreasonable, but I still hope you can understand a mother's heart."
Chen Lie nodded, "Don't worry, I will do as you say."
After saying that, he lowered his head again, focused on the stove, and carefully made the beer duck that Wan Jiajia liked.
Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he understood.
Where he goes in the future is all up to the army. Wan Jiajia has no choice but to join the army, otherwise they will have to be separated. The Wan family has only this precious daughter, so of course they are not willing to let their daughter go far away.
Who doesn’t want their children to stay by their side and enjoy the happiness of family life?
Because he understands, he cannot feel resentment.
Wan Jiajia, who had no idea what her mother and Chen Lie had said, was worried.
"Jia Jia, what entertainment activities do you usually have? Do you like playing badminton?" Xiao Li tried to get close to Wan Jia Jia again.
Wan Jiajia's eyes were fixed on the distance, without even looking at Xiao Li. She just shook her head and said, "I don't like sports."
"Oh, I see." Xiao Li pushed his glasses and looked in the direction Wan Jiajia was looking.
He then realized that Wan Jiajia had been secretly watching Chen Lie.
He smiled bitterly, feeling that after all these years, it was still too late.
Wan Jiajia had seen him that way before, but at that time, he was so focused on his studies, thinking about serving his country when he grew up, that he never noticed that there was a girl named Wan Jiajia beside him.
At this time, Wan Ma and Chen Lie came out of the kitchen.
Chen Lie took off his apron and smiled apologetically at Wan Jiajia. "I have something urgent to do. I have to go back to the army. The meal is ready. You guys can eat."
Wan Jiajia frowned, and stood up the next second. "Before you came to my house, didn't you know that something was wrong in the army?"
She looked at Wan's mother and then at Chen Lie. She wanted to ask what her mother had said to Chen Lie, but she knew that questioning her mother in public would embarrass her and make her sad.
Wan Jiajia had no choice but to purse her lips.
"I just thought of it." Chen Lie put down his apron and said to Wan Jiajia with a smile, "Try the beer duck I made and see if it suits your taste. You've been talking about it all the time."
"Okay, I'm leaving now, Auntie. Take your time eating."
After saying that, Chen Lie didn't give Wan Jiajia a chance to speak again, and walked out quickly.
Chen Lie felt that he was very despicable. Although he said that he would not take the initiative to confront Wan Jiajia, he was forcing Wan Jiajia.
Today, he prepared the meal before leaving the house. If Wan Jiajia ate the meal he cooked and continued her blind date with another man, the marriage would definitely not be successful.
Wan Jiajia would always think about him, thinking about how he came to her house excitedly, but ended up working hard to cook a table full of food, but was "kicked" out before he could even eat a bite.
Thinking that he also knew that she was on a blind date with another man, but he didn't even have the right to question it.
Wan Jiajia will remember all these grievances for him.
Then Wan Jiajia and Xiao Li will definitely not be together.
Chen Lie smiled bitterly a few times, feeling that he was a despicable and shameless man.
But a familiar voice came from behind him.
