"So early?"
In the living room, Cao Liu did not treat himself as an outsider.
Just as I was about to go to the kitchen to get breakfast, I saw my sister coming out of the bedroom, somewhat surprised.
This girl has a habit. When she was studying, she liked to stay in bed for an extra hour or two on her days off, especially in winter.
Chen Nongmo was too embarrassed to say that she was actually very sleepy, but she was awakened by hunger, so she could only make up a vague excuse: "I'm a little unaccustomed to the new environment."
Hearing this, Cao Liu didn't say whether he believed it or not, but just nodded and changed the subject: "Then should I serve you breakfast too?"
"good"
After his second brother entered the kitchen, Chen Nongmo also prepared to wash up.
She just looked at the man who followed closely and asked with a smile: "Why are you following me? Aren't you going to have breakfast?"
Shao Zheng stretched out his long arms, locked the person tightly in his arms, and smiled back: "I'll wait for you."
“I need to brush my teeth!”
"Yeah, I know."
"." Seeing that someone not only did not retreat, but also went further and put his head on his shoulder, Chen Nongmo was silent for a moment. He said nothing and just tidied himself up.
Anyway, she had already figured it out. Someone was really clingy in private. = Breakfast was very rich.
Shao Zheng prepared all of this early in the morning.
There were porridge, egg pancakes, and steamed buns, and there was also an extra cup of milk in front of Chen Nongmo.
She was very hungry, so she subconsciously picked up the most filling bun and took a bite.
It is filled with pure meat, without much seasoning, just chopped green onions, and is sweet, which is her favorite flavor.
"Are you used to it?" Shao Zheng, who had been paying attention to his wife, asked in a gentle voice when he saw her stunned.
Chen Nongmo blinked, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then asked, "Did you make this?"
"Well, I adjusted it based on the soup dumplings you made before. How is it? Do you like it?"
"It's delicious. When did you get up to cook it?" Chen Nongmo's eyes swept over the man's handsome face and found that not only did he not look tired, but his whole body looked as fresh as a spring breeze, which was outrageous.
Seeing his wife's shock, Shao Zheng poked her with a smile: "The buns were prepared two days ago. I just heated them up this morning."
Knowing that he had thought wrong, Chen Nongmo embarrassedly lowered his head and continued eating.
There was actually no intimacy between the young couple, and the words they spoke were ordinary, but Cao Liu, who was sitting opposite them, felt that he should not be here at this moment.
After a long silence, he was still in the way of the other party. He chose to continue being an eyesore: "Ahem. Yuyu, how is college? Are you used to it?"
Hearing this, Shao Zheng, who hadn't had time to ask his wife, also looked over.
Chen Nongmo, who was thinking about how to bring the topic to Xiuxiu, was delighted, but his face remained calm: "It's OK, everyone cherishes the opportunity to learn, and basically reads books every day."
Next, she gave a general account of the various papers of her classmates and complained about the bad food in the cafeteria.
Both men had attended college, so they could relate to what she said about campus life.
Just after Cao Liu shared a funny thing that happened in college, Chen Nongmo seemed to remember something: "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten it. Brother, I met someone I know."
As she spoke, she looked expectantly at the burly man opposite her.
Cao Liu saw that his sister was up to something bad, but he still cooperated with her in a good-tempered manner and asked, "Who is it?"
"Tong Xiuxiu, do you still remember?"
In fact, Cao Liu had already guessed something from his sister's mischievous expression, but he remained calm and let her do what she wanted.
As expected, I heard the name I expected.
After Chen Nongmo said Xiuxiu's name, he kept watching his second brother's reaction.
I was a little disappointed to find that he didn't show any emotional fluctuations.
Although Xiuxiu didn't say anything these days, from her behavior of wanting to say something but stopping herself several times and being too embarrassed to speak, it can be seen that she is still curious about her second brother's current situation.
Because he didn't understand his second brother's attitude, and Xiuxiu never asked, Chen Nongmo pretended not to know.
Now it seems that pretending not to know was perhaps the best decision at the time . "Your second brother guessed it, so he is not surprised." Shao Zheng didn't like his wife frowning, so he picked up a piece of omelet for her and reminded her.
Hearing this, Chen Nongmo opened his eyes wide and asked his second brother in disbelief: "Really?"
Cao Liu glanced at his brother-in-law, then chuckled and replied, "Next time, if you want to tell your brother something, you can just say it directly."
Chen Nongmo, who was disliked for beating around the bush, wrinkled his nose, took a bite of the pancake, and asked vaguely: "How do you know I'm talking about Xiuxiu?"
Hearing his sister calling Xiuxiu affectionately, Cao Liu raised his eyebrows and confirmed again that the two of them really got along well: "The only people who can make you show an ambiguous expression, in all these years, you know that Liu Yuanyuan and Tong Xiuxiu are the only ones. Liu Yuanyuan has been married for many years, so it can't be her."
Very good, the explanation is quite simple and clear, but he is too smart, which makes me look a little stupid. Chen Nongmo curled his lips.
"Don't pay attention to your second brother. He's a wicked man." Shao Zheng immediately coaxed him.
Hearing this, Chen Nongmo immediately laughed, but quickly restrained himself and frowned as he talked about Wang Caihua.
Finally, with the two men's faces clearly unhappy, she made a conclusion: "I don't think I've given it much thought. Wang Caihua must have fallen for Xiuxiu. I just don't understand what some men are thinking. If you like someone, you can pursue them. Why do you have to use despicable tricks?"
Cao Liu said indifferently: "What kind of man is this?" Then he looked at his sister again: "Is he stupid? Is a man like that qualified to say he likes me?"
Chen Nongmo hummed, thinking that what his second brother said made sense: "Fortunately, Xiuxiu and I saw through his bad intentions early on, otherwise, even if we could find a way to turn the situation around, our reputation would still be bad."
Shao Zheng frowned, "Don't be too relieved too soon. Some people are cunning. If one plan fails, they may come up with a second plan. But as you said, his methods are very sophisticated. It should not be the first time. I will ask someone to investigate. Otherwise, even if Tong Xiuxiu avoids it, there will still be Li Xiuxiu or Liu Xiuxiu. The most important thing is, you have to ask Tong Xiuxiu to tell her family about this. Not only in school, but also to be careful when going to and from school."
This is not an exaggeration. He told his wife a personal experience:
About ten years ago.
When Shao Zheng was on a mission, he passed through a county town and encountered a big case.
It’s somewhat similar to the beginning of the story between Tong Xiuxiu and Wang Caihua.
An idle second-rate guy set his eyes on a beautiful female worker, but when he failed to pursue her, he kidnapped her and raped her when she was off work.
In the eyes of the second-rate guy, since he had taken her body, the female worker had no choice but to follow him.
Unexpectedly, the female worker was a fierce person, so I went to the police station to report the case afterwards.
The incident became a big deal, and what made Shao Zheng feel the most chill was that many people actually thought that the female worker was not decent, otherwise why would the second-rate guy choose her instead of anyone else? There were also many people who felt that the female worker should not make a fuss, and that since things had come to this, she might as well just live with the second-rate guy.
The only lucky thing was that the female worker's family protected her and insisted on justice.
In those years, hooliganism was a very serious crime, and since it caused a lot of trouble, the hooligans were made examples and shot.
Later, Shao Zheng also asked his local comrades about the follow-up situation of the female worker.
Knowing that she was very strong and that her father sent her to live with her distant cousin, I felt that the feeling of depression in my heart had disappeared a lot.
In fact, such things are not isolated cases. The female worker is lucky in misfortune because she has a loving family.
Perhaps because he had witnessed such tragedy with his own eyes, Shao Zheng was particularly sensitive to such things.
As soon as the brother-in-law finished speaking, Cao Liu also asked: "What do Tong Xiuxiu's parents do?"
After listening to the case her husband told, Chen Nongmo, who was looking unhappy, blinked and a light bulb suddenly lit up in her head: "Second brother, you mean..."
Cao Liu analyzed carefully: "Just like my brother-in-law said, this kind of people are not uncommon. They are either after money or sex. But the man you described, Wang Caihua, is quite cunning. In addition, he is a study committee member and has more opportunities to learn about students' political review information than ordinary people. So I guess most of them are after money. Of course, there is also a possibility that he has known Tong Xiuxiu for a long time and knows her family situation."
Tong Xiuxiu's family conditions should be quite good. Although I didn't ask for the details, there are not many families these days who can prepare a courtyard house for their children who go out to study.
Thinking of this, Chen Nongmo frowned and thought about the possibility mentioned by his second brother.
Seeing his wife's sullen face, Shao Zheng comforted her: "Don't worry too much, maybe that man is just an ordinary suitor. If you are worried, when you return, ask Lao Wu to go to your school to check."
Hearing this, Chen Nongmo came back to his senses from his chaotic thoughts, glanced at his second brother, and asked tentatively: "Fifth brother looks a little weak and has no deterrent power. Second brother, are you free?"
Cao Liu was silent for a few seconds before replying, "I'll find time to go over there."
Hearing this, Chen Nongmo's eyes lit up. Just as he was about to say something else, an omelet was fed into his mouth.
She tilted her head and met the man's doting smile: "Eat quickly, it's getting cold."
Chen Nongmo. = After dinner.
Cao Liu did not stay any longer.
After everyone left, Shao Zheng cleaned up the dishes while explaining to his wife: "If the second child didn't have any ideas, he wouldn't go. Since he has agreed, there is no need to ask more questions. It is better to let them develop on their own."
Chen Nongmo knew that he was just excited for a moment.
"I'll go wash the dishes." Shao Zheng picked up the dishes and looked at his wife.
"Ah? Okay." After he finished speaking, Chen Nongmo realized that the man was still holding the bowl and chopsticks and looking at him steadily. He was confused for a moment, and suddenly realized something and asked tentatively: "I will accompany you?"
The handsome Shao nodded reservedly.
".You're such a clingy person." Although he said that, Chen Nongmo was still very cooperative and followed the person into the kitchen like a little tail.
When he put on his apron and mixed the water with warm water to start washing, she tactfully hugged him from behind and leaned most of her body weight on him.
Then, both of them were struck by each other's childishness and laughed out loud.
After a while, when the man had cleared the dishes, Chen Nongmo continued the previous topic: "I still find it a little unreal. Why did Second Brother suddenly agree?"
Shao Zheng wiped the stove carefully with a rag: "It's not surprising. He is 27 years old and it's time to solve his own problems."
Chen Nongmo thought he knew his brothers well, so he shook his head and denied it: "I don't think so. My second brother won't get married because of his age."
Shao Zheng chuckled, "I mean, eight years ago he was only 19 years old and had accomplished nothing. With Cao Liu's personality, it was impossible for him to promise anything to a girl. But now it's different. He's 27 years old and can be considered young and promising. It's normal for him to want to fight for the girl he once liked."
Chen Nongmo suddenly realized: "I understand, it means meeting the right person at the right time, just like us!"
After repeating his wife's words several times in his mouth, Shao Zheng smiled and replied: "Yes, that's what I mean."
= "There are still some things to do in the group, but today is Sunday, I will be back in just an hour or so, you can go back and have some sleep."
Chen Nongmo was indeed sleepy again, and nodded when he heard it: "Don't worry about me, I want to have a good sleep. Even if you come back in an hour, you are not allowed to disturb me, okay?"
Shao Zheng, who was already dressed, bent down and kissed his wife on the lips, then put on his military cap and said, "Okay, I won't bother you. I'll call you after the meal is ready, okay?"
"That's not necessary, just ask me to cook with you."
"Okay, I'll do as you say. Go to bed. I'm leaving now."
"good"
After her husband left, Chen Nongmo climbed onto the bed yawning.
After only turning over a few times, he fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up again, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning.
She looked at the man who woke her up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shao Zheng stretched out his hand and pinched his wife's rosy cheeks, and said with a smile: "It's almost lunch time. Political Commissar Yang knows you're coming, and he asked us to go to his house for dinner. Do you want to go?"
Chen Nongmo blinked, stretched out his hand and held the man's hand, feeling his hand was a little cold, subconsciously put it under the quilt and said: "Isn't it your partner, Political Commissar Yang Hongwu?"
Feeling the warmth coming from his hands, Shao Zheng chuckled: "Well, do you want to go?"
Chen Nongmo, who had just fully sobered up, sat up instantly, scratched his messy long hair and said, "Of course I have to go. What time is it now? Where are the things I brought yesterday? Go and get some out. It's not good to come empty-handed."
Having said that, he stopped covering the man's hands, put on his watch, quickly lifted the quilt, put on his shoes and got out of bed.
When she found a comb to comb her long hair, she still complained: "Why didn't you call me earlier? It's already 11 o'clock. You can't be so shameless as to eat the ready-made food, right?"
Shao Zheng coaxed, "Don't worry, it will take at least half an hour to eat. We can leave in a few minutes. It's right next door. We can just rush over to help."
Chen Nongmo. Chen Nongmo, who was too lazy to talk, simply ignored someone and quickly braided his own hair.
She went to look at herself in the mirror again and found that her face was white and rosy, and clean, so she didn't wash her face again.
But when she turned around, she found that the man was still standing behind her and had not prepared any gifts. She frowned: "Why are you still here?"
After saying this, he didn't need the other party to answer and directly pulled the person to the kitchen.
Shao Zheng had sorted out the things in the sack and arranged the cupboard tightly.
Chen Nongmo took a pack of J City's more famous dim sum, thought about it and felt it was a little too little, so he took two sausages that Qiuhua's mother helped him stuff, and then closed the cabinet door: "By the way, are you free after dinner?"
Shao Zheng took out a small basket, put the things in it, and then asked while holding it in his hand: "Are you sending something to the neighbors?"
"Yes, although we can only come here one day a week now, we will be staying here for two months during the summer vacation. We still have to show some courtesy."
At this point, Chen Nongmo pursed her lips, and after a few seconds of silence, she stepped forward and took her husband's arm: ".I have to take the bus back at three o'clock in the afternoon."
Shao Zheng turned around and comforted him: "It's good that we can meet once a week. I'm free in the afternoon, and I've arranged things for the group, and I can also take you back."
Chen Nongmo was surprised: "Can you take me home? Then how are you coming back?"
"Just ride back in the evening."
“.What?” That means you have to ride for three or four hours, right?
Thinking of this, Chen Nongmo immediately refused: "No, I can go back by myself. What's there to worry about in broad daylight?"
Only a minority of people were worried. Shao Zheng just wanted to spend more time with his young wife.
Knowing that she was reluctant to leave him, he was about to say that he could ask a friend to drive him home, but an annoying voice rang in his ears: "Why bother? I can just take Yu Yu home. It just so happens that I have already asked the group leader for two days off."
Looking at the sturdy figure that suddenly appeared at the door, Chen Nongmo's eyes lit up. Is he so quick in action?
It's really annoying that Shao Zheng dislikes his uncle! (End of this chapter)
