Chapter 35

Shang Nanchen said in a deep voice: "My cousin introduced me."

"Not bad!" Chen Dongping walked into the room with a smile and squatted in front of Shang Nanchen. "I think you are really good. No wonder you are not interested in beauties like Xu Ning and Song Ning. After all, you like this kind of delicate and soft girl."

Xu Ning is a cold fairy, Song Ning is a bright and beautiful daughter of a wealthy family, and Shang Nanchen, the young wife, is a beautiful lady who can make anyone love her just by looking at her.

Her facial features are delicate and beautiful, her skin is as white as cream, and her eyes seem to be able to allure people, making people's hearts itch.

It was the first time that Chen Dongping met such a lovely person.

Shang Nanchen didn't like what Chen Dongping said, and he knew what kind of person he was. He frowned and said seriously, "Chen Dongping, if you come to ask me if you can come back, I can tell you now that you can't. Before you left the mountain, I told you very clearly that if you quit, you can't come back."

Jing Xian has good hearing. From the moment she arrived at the door of her house, she heard every word Chen Dongping and Shang Nanchen said clearly.

No wonder Shang Nanchen commented on Chen Dongping like that at the beginning.

This Chen Dongping can't endure hardship, he's not a good person.

She opened the curtain and walked in, just in time to interrupt Chen Dongping. She handed the things in her hand to Shang Nanchen: "Take it inside first. Then go to the market to see if there is any meat left, and buy some. The two children haven't eaten meat for several days."

She walked into the house without even giving Chen Dongping a glance.

"Shang Nanchen, come in for a moment."

The tone was not soft at all, and even a little cold, which was a waste of her good voice.

Chen Dongping's tongue tip pressed against his upper teeth, and he felt that he might not be very popular. He didn't know how much Shang Nanchen's wife heard, but she might have heard the last sentence.

With his eyes half-closed, a hint of irritability flashed across his eyes.

"Captain Shang, I'm leaving first."

Chen Dongping was also a discerning person. He left on his own initiative when he knew he was not welcome.

Shang Nanchen hurried out of the house: "I'll see you off."

"No, just do your thing."

As Chen Dongping spoke, he had already walked to the gate.

After everyone left, Shang Nanchen returned to the room. Facing Jing Xian's inquiring eyes, he subconsciously defended himself: "My relationship with him is just average, just an ordinary comrade-in-arms relationship."

"I didn't ask anything, why are you explaining this?" Jing Xian smiled.

Shang Nanchen thought to himself, you didn’t ask, but the words “Tell the truth” were written on your face.

"I think I need to explain to you. Chen Dongping is fine in terms of physical fitness and other aspects. It's just that his mouth is not very appealing, and he can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman." Shang Nanchen really looked down on Chen Dongping for this.

If a grown man wants a woman, he can find one he likes and marry her, and then do whatever he wants after marriage.

Chen Dongping, on the other hand, has no plans to get married and goes on blind dates with lesbians everywhere.

"The hospital will be open tomorrow. When Xu Ning comes over, I'll talk to her about this, okay?"

Shang Nanchen said, "Of course."

"You've done a good thing." Jing Xian had just finished speaking when she heard someone shouting outside.

She opened the door curtain and looked outside, and saw Xu Ning and Song Ning coming in, followed by a handsome man about 1.8 meters tall, who looked somewhat similar to Song Ning.

He was carrying two pieces of luggage in his hands. When he saw Jing Xian, he smiled and said hello: "Happy New Year, sister-in-law! Where's my brother?"

"Happy New Year, come in."

Jing Xian was about to call Shang Nanchen, but Shang Nanchen heard Song Zheng's voice and came out. He said hello to Song Zheng and went into the house, while Jing Xian waited for Song Ning and Xu Ning who were behind.

Song Ning was so happy to see Jing Xian.

"Jingxian, Happy New Year!"

“Happy New Year!”

Xu Ning also caught up and said, "Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year! Come inside, it's cold outside."

Jing Xian welcomed the guests in and they all exchanged happy new years greetings.

"Hurry up and get on the bed

Sit down, it's too cold to stand on the ground."

Jing Xian asked Song Ning and the others to sit on the kang, and she poured a large teacup of brown sugar water from a kettle. She then took a few smaller teacups and poured them for Song Ning and the others. The two children saw that no one was at home and had not gone out, so they looked around the house for a while, whispered to Jing Xian, and went out to play.

Song Zheng and Shang Nanchen hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they had a lot to talk about.

After saying a few words, Jing Xian went out to cook.

It's not appropriate to ask him to leave at this time. Besides, he is Shang Nanchen's good brother, so he can't be driven away. In addition, Xu Ning and Song Ning had eaten so many meals at home two years ago, so they are not outsiders.

Song Ning warmed up for a while and didn't feel so cold anymore. Seeing Jing Xian go out, he poked Xu Ning's arm and said, "Come on, help with the cooking."

"Um."

Xu Ning went downstairs first, and when she saw Jing Xian taking out potatoes from the outer room, she naturally offered to help.

"Let me do it."

Jing Xian was not shy and asked her with concern, "Are you warm enough? If not, go back to your room and warm up. I can cook quickly."

"It wasn't cold when we got here. Her brother drove us here."

"That's good."

Jing Xian stopped holding back and took out the shrimps to make meatballs. Song Ning watched from the side, thought about it, and reached out for the potatoes.

"You'd better go and clean the shrimps! That's not something I should be able to handle." Song Ning didn't know what he could do, and he was too embarrassed to just sit there doing nothing.

Xu Ning gave her the potatoes and went to process the shrimps herself, working silently.

Jing Xian came out with carrots and saw Xu Ning packing them up. She said, "This one has the shrimp heads and shells removed."

"Are you going to do something else today?" Xu Ning asked curiously.

“Make a shrimp ball.”

If it were Xu Ning and Song Ning, it would be fine, but the key point was that Song Zheng also came. It was not easy for Song Zheng to come, so when he came, he had to be treated well.

One pot definitely won’t do for cooking this time.

Jing Xian also lit the pot in the west room to steam a pot of Wo Wo Tou. Otherwise, it would be too slow to wait until the Wo Wo Tou was steamed and then stew two dishes.

Song Ning saw Jing Xian taking out the meat and said loudly, "You're still taking out the meat? You didn't take out the meat just because you saw my brother coming over? I tell you, he doesn't deserve it. He's not worthy at all. You keep this meat for yourselves."

Song Zheng, who was chatting in the room: "..."

Shang Nanchen had heard Jing Xian talk about Song Ning's great achievements, and now that he heard it with his own ears, he was a little dazed.

"Is this your biological sister?" He turned and asked Song Zheng.

Song Zheng's face was full of pain: "If this wasn't my biological sister, I would have thrown her out."

Who would want such an unlucky sister?

"Your brother is a guest." Jing Xian said.

Song Ning was not convinced: "I am also a guest, and I have never seen you treat me so well!"

"Am I not good to you?" Jing Xian asked back, "If you say I didn't take out the meat, then does that mean that every time I cook, the meat is fed to the dog?"

Thinking back to how much meat he had eaten, Song Ning glared at Jing Xian resentfully, then opened his mouth.

"Woof!"

Jing Xian: “…”

Xu Ning: “…”

Shang Nanchen: “…”

Song Zheng: “…”

Just go back to where this sister came from!

I can’t do that. It’s too embarrassing!

Song Zheng felt that he had completely lost face.

"By the way, did you see the person leaving our house when you arrived?" Jing Xian asked Xu Ning.

Song Ning continued, "I saw it. It's the man who's not too tall, right?"

"Yes, it's him. He is Chen Dongping." Jing Xian said.

Xu Ning didn't show any expression. When she heard the name, she remembered that she had asked Jing Xian to help her find out about this person.

"How do your colleagues get along with him?"

Jing Xian heard from Shang Nanchen that Chen Dongping came back earlier than him and had been back for at least half a month. So he should have met with Xu Ning's colleagues.

Xu Ning said: "Years ago

I only met him once, and then there was no news. I didn’t ask for details. This person…”

"Is it because you are not a good person?" Xu Ning hesitated and didn't say the rest of the question. Song Ning asked enthusiastically, staring at Jing Xian with his big eyes blinking and full of curiosity.

Jing Xian's mouth twitched, she nodded, and said to Xu Ning: "If your colleague is not engaged to him, break it off as soon as possible."

"Why is this person not good enough? What's wrong with him?" Song Ning was extremely curious.

Inside the room, Song Zheng's face turned red when he heard his sister's question. He wanted to yell, but he didn't speak because there were other people outside.

He said to Shang Nanchen: "Don't mind, my sister is stupid."

"Why should I mind? She's your sister." Shang Nanchen really didn't mind. "Why did you bring your sister here?"

The military area is not close to their home.

Song Zheng's cold eyes flashed with a hint of anger, and he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Originally, our family didn't plan to send her here. If there wasn't an accident with a little girl in their art troupe, I wouldn't have rushed to send her here."

"Someone is also thinking about your sister?" Shang Nanchen was very sensitive and realized the truth in an instant.

Song Zheng did not hide it either, but whispered: "There is someone in the Revolutionary Committee who wants to marry Song Ning. How can Song Ning live with that kind of mouth? Besides, she is still young, and her family plans to keep her for another two years. Those people are very dirty, and my family is afraid that Song Ning will have to marry them and lose her life. So they sent her here."

Song Zheng looked down on those people in the Revolutionary Committee at all.

In the outer room, Song Ning asked curiously, "Jing Xian, tell me, what's wrong with that guy?"

Song Zheng: “…”

He looked at Shang Nanchen embarrassedly and wanted to apologize to his brother.

"You ask me, how should I know?" Jing Xian said calmly, handing the knife to Song Ning, "Chop it into paste, will you?"

For some reason, Song Ning felt a murderous aura.

She said obediently, "I will."

This you have to learn even if you don't know how.

Xu Ning was listening nearby, frowned and asked Jing Xian: "Is that person a bad person?"

"I kind of like watching lesbians."

Before he finished speaking, Song Ning sarcastically said, "What do you mean by liking to see lesbians? This guy is obviously unreliable. Your classmate is average looking. Even after getting married, she will definitely not be able to keep that man's heart."

"Song Ning!" Song Zheng shouted, "Can you shut your mouth?"

Can you say these things randomly?

Song Ning pouted in grievance, but didn't say anything else.

Jing Xian glanced at Xu Ning who seemed to be thinking about something, and suggested, "This man is a little unreliable."

Xu Ning knew that Jing Xian had done her best and helped a lot, so she said gratefully, "Thank you."

"I hope I can be of help." Jing Xian said modestly.

Song Ning said: "This is a great help. For us women, marriage is a second life. If we marry the wrong person or get divorced, people will point fingers at us. If we meet the right person, it's fine. But if we meet the wrong person, our whole life will be ruined."

"Yes, Song Ning is right." Xu Ning agreed with Song Ning's opinion.

Song Ning was very proud: "So you should not rely on my brother. He is not a good person."

Song Zheng gritted his teeth.

You can't do anything to Song Ning outside.

Xu Ning was a little embarrassed, her ears were red, and she said slowly, "I will believe it this time when I go back."

"What?" Song Ning felt a little regretful.

In fact, she likes Xu Ning very much, but it's a pity that her brother is so stupid and she doesn't know what kind of wife he is going to find. Will Xu Ning be better?

Jing Xian was also quite surprised. She didn't expect Xu Ning to really let it go.

"I was old enough, and my family was anxious, so they arranged a few blind dates for me. Some of them were doctors like me, and some were a few years older than me. Their families were not well off, so they didn't get married for a long time. Another one was a worker, but his family was crowded together."

Song Ning frowned: "Are there no better conditions?"

"Yes." Xu Ning didn't say anything else, and Song Ning didn't continue asking.

Jing Xian changed the subject naturally: "Just tell your colleagues what you know, don't go into details, you are just an outsider after all."

"I see."

While eating, Xu Ning happened to be sitting opposite Song Zheng and did not dare to look up during the entire meal.

Jing Xian found that Song Zheng did have feelings for Xu Ning. Xu Ning said she let Song Zheng go, but it was obvious that she still cared about him. What she said today was probably intentional. Xu Ning's family would never let anyone introduce Xu Ning to someone from such a family.

She suspected that Xu Ning was forcing Song Zheng to express his opinion.

Looking at Song Ning who was enjoying her meal, Jing Xian felt very envious.

That's the look you get when you're being pampered.

Suddenly, someone grabbed her hand. Jing Xian turned her head to look at the man eating with a blank expression. People who didn't know what he was doing couldn't imagine. He pulled his hand back, and Jing Xian felt something in his hand.

She looked down and found a large roll.

???

Where did he get the money?

Could it be the money his ex-wife transferred to him?

After dinner, Jing Xian took the opportunity when Shang Nanchen went to the backyard and followed him and asked, "What's going on with the money?"

"The money I lent you before, Song Zheng came over this time and brought it to me."

Jing Xian didn't ask any more questions. She looked down at the amount of money, then rolled it up and put it in her pocket.

"Is Song Zheng going to stay at our house tonight? I've lit the kang in the west room. I'll tidy up later and put the quilt and mattress on. We can just stay here all night, is that ok?" After all, he is Shang Nanchen's good brother, so Jing Xian couldn't make the decision on her own.

Shang Nanchen had no objection: "When we were fighting, we even slept in earth pits. What's wrong with this?"

"Okay, you go in and accompany the guests first, I'll go clean up the west room."

Jing Xian was about to get some coal to cook some soup in a clay pot, but just as she walked from the backyard to the front yard, she heard voices coming from the private room.

"Are you in a hurry to get married?" Whose voice could it be but Song Zheng's?

Xu Ning's cold voice rang out: "I'm not in a hurry, I'm just not young anymore. People my age are already married, so it's normal for me to get married now, right?"

Song Zheng clicked his tongue and said, "Are you planning to just marry anyone?"

"What are you talking about? If anyone would be fine, I wouldn't have to decide to get married now."
