Chapter 132 Chapter 132 Chicken and Cabbage Soup White with a Reddish Translucence...
Is Tan Weiming here?
Su Tianli was stunned.
Su Dejun was very flustered, "Don't open the door! Just say I'm not here——"
Su Tiancai also asked Su Tianli anxiously, "Sister, what should we do? Brother Ming is here! He must have heard that Third Sister is back... What if he finds out that there is someone like Chen Jing... What should we do then? He is the most worried about Third Sister!"
Even Yao Meiyu felt torn. "What should I do? This is really a Shura field..."
Su Tianli took a deep breath and said, "Brother, go open the door."
Su Tiancai was very nervous, "Sister?"
Su Dejun was at a loss, "Lizhi! What should I say next? Should I tell Ah Ming to leave that mad dog Chen Jing alone?"
Yao Meiyu was so frightened that she patted her chest and said, "Oh, I dare not speak for a while. I will just sit aside and listen."
"Go open the door quickly!" Su Tianli urged A'di.
Then she glared at Su Dejun again, "Don't mention anything except giving him a red envelope."
Su Dejun nodded nervously.
Su Tiancai ran over and opened the door, "Brother Ming!"
"Acai! Happy New Year! I'm here to wish Uncle Jun and Second Sister a happy New Year!" Tan Weiming's voice rang out.
Su Tiancai, "Hehehehe...Brother Ming, come in quickly."
Tan Weiming entered the house with great joy, "Uncle Jun, Happy New Year! May you be prosperous!"
"Second sister, Happy New Year!"
"Sister Meiyu, Happy New Year!"
"Ah... Brother Cheng Yu, Happy New Year!"
The young man greeted everyone happily.
Su Dejun took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Tan Weiming, "Mingzi, Happy New Year!"
Then I never dared to speak again.
Su Tianli called Tan Weiming, "Ah Ming, come and sit down! Eat some melon seeds... These tangerines are very sweet!"
"Thank you, second sister." Tan Weiming looked around the room and then sat on a chair. "Second sister, I said...A Qian is back? Where is she?"
Su Tianli, "Yes! She's back!"
Su Dejun, Su Tiancai and Yao Meiyu all gasped.
Tan Weiming was nervous and excited, "Where is she?"
"Not here." Su Tianli replied.
Tan Weiming was stunned. "She...is not here?"
Su Tianli hummed, "She accompanied me to Shaou Street last night. We sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, and we wanted to have a private chat. We talked until midnight... She might have been tired from catching the bus yesterday, and couldn't get up in the morning. So she didn't come with me today."
Su Dejun, Su Tiancai and Yao Meiyu all breathed a sigh of relief.
Tan Weiming was a little disappointed, but not too disappointed.
So he asked with concern: "Second sister, how is Qian? Is she... okay?"
Su Tianli replied sympathetically: "Well, she has worked outside for several years, and has not slept for days and nights in order to catch the bus... How can her mental state be good!"
Tan Weiming nodded, "I can understand that!"
Then he asked what he wanted to know the most, "Second sister, is Qian coming back this time to visit relatives? Or to return to the city?"
"Yes, returning to the city!" Su Tianli replied.
Upon hearing this, Tan Weiming laughed happily, "Okay, okay! That's great, Sister Lizhi!"
Su Tianli smiled and asked, "Ah Ming, how did you know that our Qianqian is back?"
Tan Weiming replied: "I just heard Wang Hongmei say that downstairs!"
Su Dejun, Su Tiancai and Yao Meiyu took a deep breath again when they heard this.
Tan Weiming said without understanding, "Sister Lizhi, to be honest, Qian hasn't written to me for a month. I was so worried! I wanted to come over and ask you guys today!"
"I didn't expect to run into Wang Hongmei downstairs..."
Su Tianli asked: "What did Wang Hongmei say?"
Tan Weiming finally felt a little uncomfortable, "She didn't say anything..."
He was a sincere man after all, and he explained: "Although I have not personally experienced what it was like to go to the countryside to work in the fields, I have heard a lot about it from the educated youth who came back to visit their families in the past few years."
"Sister Lizhi, if it's better to go to the countryside, then why does everyone try their best to stay in the city?"
"I am mentally prepared."
Su Tianli asked again, "What did Wang Hongmei say? What are you mentally prepared for?"
Tan Weiming hesitated for a moment and told the truth, "Wang Hongmei said that Qian's appearance has completely changed and she is unrecognizable."
Then he added, "But Wang Hongmei's appearance has changed too! When she came back, I didn't dare to recognize her."
"Sister Lizhi, it doesn't matter what Qian looks like, because I like Qian as a person!"
When talking about Tan Weiming, his face suddenly turned red. "Hey, why did I say this? I, I haven't even confessed to Qian in person!"
He stood up embarrassedly, "Sister Lizhi, Uncle Jun, I'm leaving first."
"Well, please don't tell Qian that I like her yet... I'll come see her when she's rested and has time. Then I'll tell her in person."
"Goodbye Uncle Jun! Goodbye Sister Lizhi! Goodbye Sister Meiyu! Goodbye Brother Chengyu! Goodbye Ah Cai!"
After saying that, Tan Weiming ran away like a gust of wind.
Yao Meiyu sighed, "What a sincere childhood sweetheart friendship! Why can't I meet such a good person!"
Su Tianli said nothing.
Yao Meiyu was stunned for a moment, then turned to ask Su Tianli, "Why? You don't think this couple is a good match?"
Su Tianli thought that her silly best friend’s sixth sense was also very strong.
She did not hide it from Yao Meiyu and whispered, "After Qianqian came back yesterday, she didn't ask him a single question."
——Anyone who is concerned about something will ask a few questions.
However, Su Qianzi did not ask Tan Weiming a single question.
Yao Meiyu looked regretful, "Ah——"
"It's not Qianqian's fault!"
"Tan Weiming, indeed..."
According to the policies of previous years, the children of every household had to go to the countryside to work in the fields.
Unless you are an only child,
Unless the children have any serious illness.
Tan Weiming did not go to the countryside.
He is not an only child.
He didn't go to the countryside because his father was a leader in the factory.
Second, he has a congenital heart disease.
So he and his eldest brother were the only ones in his family who did not go to the countryside, while his second brother and third sister all went to work in the fields.
Su Tianli said to Yao Meiyu in a serious tone: "This matter depends on Qianqian... Before she expresses her opinion, I will not comment at all."
Yao Meiyu nodded.
After Cheng Yu prepared the meal, Yao Meiyu took the lunch box to the guesthouse to deliver it to Su Qianzi.
However, not long after Yao Meiyu left the house,
Chen Jing is here.
He was quite sweet-talking, and as soon as he entered the house he shouted, "Happy New Year, Uncle!"
Su Dejun hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Chen Jing, "Here, take it!"
He hated Chen Jing.
Even if his red envelope only contained 18 cents,
He didn't want to give it then.
However, it is a custom for elders to give red envelopes to unmarried younger generations during the Chinese New Year.
In the end, Su Dejun gritted his teeth and gave it.
And Chen Jing was flattered.
In his hometown, there is no such custom as "elders giving red envelopes to unmarried younger generations during the New Year."
So in Chen Jing's opinion, he felt that this red envelope was a red envelope from Su Qianzi's father to his future son-in-law.
Chen Jing secretly weighed the thickness of the red envelope and felt it was quite thick.
(Su Dejun: Isn’t that nonsense? Nine two-cent bills!)
Chen Jing was quite happy, "Thank you, uncle!"
However, after looking around the Su family, Chen Jing found that Su Qianzi was not there?
He was a little surprised.
He was not stupid and immediately understood the Su family's position on the relationship between him and Su Qianzi.
"Uncle, where is Qianzi?" Chen Jing said patiently.
Su Tianli rushed to say, "You are Chen Jing, right? Hello, I am Su Qianzi's sister Su Tianli."
"It's like this. Su Qianzi came back yesterday. I was very happy. We haven't seen each other for many years. I asked her to come to my place, and we talked all night. She couldn't get up early this morning, so I didn't call her."
"She'll come over by herself when she wakes up."
Chen Jing looked at Su Tianli for a moment, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
Su Dejun happened to call him, "Xiao Chen, come over and have dinner with us first."
Su Dejun had just received some advice from Su Tianli, so he was calm and not afraid at all.
So now he is acting like a patriarch.
Chen Jing was flattered, "Okay, thank you uncle."
So everyone sat down to eat together.
During the Chinese New Year, every household stocks up a lot of good things.
Su Dejun had just taken over the family business and had a morbid desire to control money and property. In addition, he had a lot of money, so he stockpiled a lot of wine, meat, various dry goods, rice, rice noodles, and noodles.
Cheng Yu is the chef today.
He stir-fried the shredded cabbage stalks with the braised pork head left over from yesterday;
He also took out the leftover boiled chicken from last night, and made a sauce with minced garlic and soy sauce. He deboned the boiled chicken, shredded it, and mixed it with the sauce to make hand-shredded chicken.
Boil the chicken skeleton of the boiled chicken in a small amount of water, then add the shredded cabbage leaves. After about fifteen minutes, the soup will turn white and the leaves will be cooked soft. Then take out the chicken skeleton and throw it away. Add salt to season and sprinkle a handful of wolfberries before serving. This is cabbage in chicken sauce.
Finally, a stir-fry of leftovers.
Su Dejun called Chen Jing, "Xiao Chen, come on...eat some food. It's hard to buy food during the New Year, so we'll just heat up yesterday's food. Would you like to eat with us?"
According to the current average level,
Almost all people across the country are busy all year long just to have a meal with meat on New Year’s Eve.
Everyone also unanimously agreed to start eating leftovers from the first day of the New Year.
In the cold north, the leftovers from New Year’s Eve can probably be kept for a few more days.
The weather in Guangzhou is hot, so leftovers can only be kept for three days at most.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were many people here today, Cheng Yu fried all the leftovers into one plate.
There were also all kinds of things placed on the table.
Chen Jing said politely: "Thank you, uncle, this meal is already very sumptuous."
Su Dejun called his son again, "Bring me the good wine I put under the bed... the Jiujiang double-distilled wine that your brother Cheng Yu brought on New Year's Eve. We have guests today, let's drink some together!"
Su Tiancai went to get the wine.
Su Dejun pointed at Cheng Yu and said to Chen Jing: "Xiao Chen, he is Cheng Yu, the boyfriend of my second daughter Su Tianli! They plan to get married next year..."
Cheng Yu explained, "This year."
Su Dejun was stunned for a moment, and quickly changed his words, "Oh, yes, yes, it's already the New Year, so it's this year."
Cheng Yu glanced at Su Tianli quietly and smiled secretly.
Su Tianli rolled her eyes at him.
And Su Dejun's words, when heard by Chen Jing, had another meaning:
——Look, my other future son-in-law is much better at being a good person than you! He even brought a gift! And you, you came empty-handed?!
Chen Jing blushed and had to pretend that he didn't understand.
Su Tiancai went to get some wine.
Su Dejun opened it.
Cheng Yu went to get a few wine glasses.
Su Dejun, Cheng Yu and Chen Jing started to drink.
Su Dejun had already received Lizhi's advice, so he focused on Chen Jing's personal situation and family background:
"Xiao Chen, what is your educational background?"
"Xiao Chen, what's your zodiac sign? When were you born? ... What's the month and day? Is this the Gregorian or lunar calendar?"
"Xiao Chen, how many brothers and sisters do you have? Oh, five brothers and sisters... Where are they all doing well?"
"Xiao Chen, where are your parents? Which unit does your dad work in? Where is your mom?"
"How big is your house?"
"What is your current position in your company? How much is your salary? Do you have any thoughts of returning to the city?"
…
Cold sweat broke out on Chen Jing's forehead.
He answered carefully:
——He has a high school diploma, but he did not finish high school.
As for his age and zodiac sign, there was nothing to hide, so he told me everything.
He also talked about his brothers and sisters: he was the third of five siblings. The youngest brother stayed in the city, and the other four went to the countryside.
The situation of his parents was also mentioned: his father was an official of moderate importance, and his mother held an ordinary position but had an uncle who was a very powerful high-ranking official.
As for his family situation, his home in Beijing was also a welfare house allocated by his father's unit. It had three bedrooms and a living room, one for his parents, one for his brothers, and one for his sisters.
Finally, he told about his situation at work: his position was assistant secretary, first-level clerk, and his salary was 42 yuan a month.
As for returning to the city, he hasn't thought about it yet.
The main reason is that he has an older brother and an older sister ahead of him, so he has to follow the order and let his older brother and sister apply to return to the city first and arrange their jobs before it can be his turn.
Otherwise the burden on the family will be too heavy to make arrangements.
Chen Jing’s idea is to continue working hard in the project team and strive to be promoted in the short term.
This is the only way to maximize benefits.
Su Tianli on the side understood.
——It seems that Chen Jing is really a child from an ordinary family.
You know, if he is really the son of a high-ranking official,
Is there still a need for a “waiting period”?
There is no need to be promoted during the "waiting period".
Then he returned to the city in glory!
Su Dejun, Cheng Yu and Chen Jing were still drinking.
Cheng Yu also received advice from Litchi.
So when he poured the wine, he filled Chen Jing's glass and only filled Su Dejun's glass 70% full.
He also blocked a few drinks for Su Dejun from time to time.
So, when Chen Jing was half drunk and his speech was slurred,
Su Dejun was only one-third drunk, and not only did he speak clearly, but his mind was also very quick.
Next, Su Dejun raised further questions:
"Xiao Chen, if you return to the city, would you like to stay in Beijing? Or come to Guangzhou?"
"Is it easy to find a job in Beijing?"
"Xiao Chen, do you have any particular rules for marriage in Beijing? For example, three turns and one ring? How do you arrange the wedding room? What about the betrothal gift?"
"Xiao Chen, the situation is like this now. Qianqian has already returned to the city and will not be returning to the project team in the future... So what do you think?"
…
After a fierce bombardment,
Chen Jing was a little overwhelmed.
Because although Su Dejun was only a third of a pound drunk and a little intoxicated, he used this as a way to bolster his courage. The bolder he became, the more unscrupulous he became in asking questions.
But for Chen Jing, he was quite cautious at first. He would carefully say some sweet words, protect his privacy to the greatest extent, and try his best to satisfy Su Dejun.
Gradually, after a few glasses of wine, Chen Jing felt dizzy and his brain began to go out of control.
When he answered Su Dejun's questions, his answers were a bit off topic.
"Uncle, water flows to the lowest place and people go to the highest place! No matter how good Guangzhou is, it's not as good as Beijing! Don't you agree? Then I will definitely go back to Beijing in the future!"
"As for the question of whether it's easy to find a job in Beijing... it must be difficult! Otherwise, why would I wait a few years before going back?"
"We don't care about the bride price! What's the point of the man having to prepare three turns and one ring before the woman is willing to marry? We don't have such a rule in our family! We care about the natural development of the relationship, and don't care about material conditions at all!"
"As for the bride's dowry, just give it according to your means! Three or five hundred is fine, I don't mind. No matter how much it is, it's the bride's dowry. She brings it to the small family, and in the end, it will be spent on the small family. This is also beneficial to the bride!"
"As for the wedding house, that goes without saying. The company will allocate a house for you in the future! If not, you can live in my parents' house. It's only right that you help take care of the elderly."
Hearing this, Su Tianli simply closed her eyes to hide her urge to roll her eyes.
——This guy is so shameless!
When it comes to the betrothal gift, there is no rule that the man should give the woman three turns and one ring;
Speaking of dowry, let’s just say the woman gives three or five hundred… and he doesn’t mind?
Then Chen Jing mentioned that Su Qianzi had already completed the procedures for returning to the city:
"In my opinion, Qianzi is just too stubborn! I have advised her before not to go through the procedures for returning to the city, not to go through the procedures for returning to the city...but she just wouldn't listen!"
"Uncle, tell me, it's useless for her to return to the city or Guangzhou now!"
"She should have listened to me in the beginning and given me her position! Let me be the project manager, and she should assist me well. I have to improve my qualifications so that I can take her to Beijing in the future!"
"She absolutely does not!"
"Look, now that she has come to Guangzhou, if she can get a good job, I will admit defeat!" Chen Jing became more and more outspoken.
When Su Dejun heard this, his face fell.
Su Tianli winked at Su Dejun.
Su Dejun had no choice but to continue asking Chen Jing, "Xiao Chen, what do you think now?"
Chen Jing replied: "Uncle, the best way now is to let Su Qianzi follow me back to the project team."
"At most you'll just stay there with me for another three years!"
"In my opinion, Su Qianzi is also stupid! She has already sorted out the project... Next, as long as we proceed step by step, we can complete the project ahead of schedule as she envisioned!"
"Uncle, you see, she gave up on such a good opportunity... halfway through!"
"Just tell me whether she suffered a loss or not!" Chen Jing said drunkenly.
Su Dejun was furious. "Now that she's gone, you've got a bargain, haven't you? Just keep working! Isn't this pie in the sky?"
Chen Jing was given a few more glasses of wine by Cheng Yu, and he became even more drunk. He started to speak without manners:
"Oh, you don't understand!"
"Don't underestimate Su Qianzi because she's so small... this girl is capable!"
"She came a year later than me. I watched her get bullied. I also watched her work during the day and read professional books at night. Then, little by little, she took on the responsibility of the project!"
"Uncle, don't tell me - that project can't be accomplished without Su Qianzi! Do you know why?"
Su Dejun cooperated very well, "Why?"
Chen Jing said, "Because, the proposal to complete it three years ahead of schedule was made by Su Qianzi. During the year she was in charge, the project was also carried out according to her plan... It was steadily ahead of schedule!"
"But at this time she said she wanted to leave?"
"Just think about it, her departure is like the removal of the backbone of the team!"
"At this point, the project has become a grenade with the valve pulled. Whoever takes over will explode!"
"The best way is for me to do it, and she will just watch from the side. Hey, do you understand what I mean? That is, let me take on this false title, but all operations will remain the same. In fact, Su Qianzi will still be in charge..."
“This is a win-win situation!”
When Su Dejun heard this, he even wanted to kill someone.
Fortunately, before the attack, he still looked at Litchi...
Then he was calmed down by Lizhi's cold eyes.
Su Dejun took a deep breath and continued to ask Chen Jing, "Oh? Really? What does this win-win situation mean?"
Chen Jing said proudly: "Win-win means that the project will be completed three years ahead of schedule! This is a win."
"It's a second win, and the credit goes to me!"
“Isn’t this a win-win situation?” The more Chen Jing thought about it, the happier he became, and he laughed out loud, “Hahahahahaha!”
Su Dejun asked, "What about Su Qianzi?"
Chen Jing laughed wildly, then waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "She's a woman, so she should just be a good family member!"
"Women don't need to be too capable!"
"As for me, I just hope that she can assist me for three years. If she behaves well for three years, then I will marry her!"
"She's not bad either. She's pretty and has a high school diploma. When we have kids, she can help teach them well..."
"Besides, she does have some real skills, and she can help me go higher and further in the future!"
Su Dejun asked again in confusion: "Since she has this ability, why doesn't she go higher and further on her own?"
Chen Jing burst into laughter when he heard this. "She's a woman! And she's majoring in civil engineering..."
"Uncle, let me tell you, when Su Qianzi first came to our unit, many men wanted to get her, but because we were all regular employees, no one dared to force her. Otherwise, they would just be seeking temporary pleasure, but end up in jail for the rest of their lives!"
"Hu Fangzhi...our former leader, do you know what he is planning?"
"On the surface, Hu Fangzhi wants Su Qianzi to marry his stupid son. In fact, Hu Fangzhi's son is a natural eunuch! What's the point of marrying a wife for a natural eunuch?"
"So the plan of Hu Fangzhi and his wife is - nominally to take Su Qianzi as their daughter-in-law, but in reality, to make Su Qianzi Hu Fangzhi's concubine, and then let Su Qianzi give birth to a few children for Hu Fangzhi, and register them under the name of the fool."
"In this case, Su Qianzi will not only have to raise Hu Fangzhi's stupid son and take care of him for his whole life, but she will also have to raise Hu Fangzhi's grandson in name but his younger son in reality..."
The Su family was very angry.
Chen Jing continued, "Uncle, you don't know! Su Qianzi is quite amazing... She was forced into that state by Hu Fangzhi, but she was able to remain innocent and escape unscathed!"
"If she's not innocent, I wouldn't want her, right? I'm not a slut!"
"Let's say, in the field of civil engineering, how many women are there?"
"No, no! Men don't even want to do this job, let alone women!"
"Do you think Su Qianzi just likes to do this?"
"If she really loved this job, she wouldn't be in such a hurry to go through the procedures to return to the city!"
"I think she was really scared, that's why she wanted to run away!"
"But if she follows me, there's really no need to be afraid..."
As he spoke, Cheng Yu poured two more glasses of wine into Chen Jing.
When he spoke, his tongue was big, "Uncle, let me tell you, Su Qianzi is the kind of woman who has decent conditions but a poor family background!"
"She ended up in our project team because of her poor conditions! Otherwise, the other two women who went to our place with her were transferred away because their families said hello... Su Qianzi's family was poor and she had no connections, so she couldn't get transferred!"
"This is her fatal injury!"
"I'm different. I have a Beijing hukou and I'm a man. Just for this reason, I'm better than her!"
"Isn't it easy for me to control her?"
"Uncle, I'm telling you, I've already thought it through... She'd better obey me! If she doesn't, I won't be polite!"
"Well, I'll go to her house and tell her that she had an affair with a whore when she was in the countryside! Who can verify it? The common people love to hear these obscene rumors..."
"When the time comes, I can easily ruin her reputation. If she has a job offer, I will go to her job and cause trouble! I will ruin her job... She will have nowhere to go, and her reputation will be ruined, so she won't be able to get married. In the end, she will have to follow me obediently!"
Su Dejun was furious!
He couldn't bear it any longer, so he stood up, clenched his fist as big as a sand bowl and hit him -
"Bang!!!"
After a muffled sound,
Chen Jing, who had no power to defend himself, fainted and fell heavily to the ground.
Su Dejun cursed XXX and walked over——
"Dad!" Su Tianli said in a low voice.
Su Dejun said angrily with red eyes: "Don't stop me! Even if the king of heaven comes, I will beat him to death!"
While Su Tianli was stopping her father, she asked Cheng Yu, "Is there any way to get beaten so that the pain is horrible but there is no mark on the body?"
Cheng Yu nodded and asked Su Tiancai a few questions.
Then Su Tiancai led Cheng Yu into the house to look for a quilt.
Soon, Cheng Yu took out a quilt, wrapped Chen Jing, and then took a pillowcase to cover Chen Jing's eyes.
Next, Cheng Yu took the lead and punched Chen Jing hard.
Chen Jing, who was in a coma, screamed.
Su Dejun also rushed over and punched and kicked Chen Jing.
Even Su Tiancai was so angry that he beat Chen Jing up.
During this process, Cheng Yu kept whispering: Don't hit his face, don't hit his hands...
During this period, Chen Jing actually woke up several times, but was beaten unconscious again.
When Su Dejun stopped panting,
Cheng Yu led Su Tiancai to strip Chen Jing's clothes and gave Chen Jing a hot towel for hot compress.
Of course, if Chen Jing wakes up again,
Cheng Yu punched him and knocked him out again!
Just like that, after the hot compress, the marks on Chen Jing's body disappeared before they even appeared...
Cheng Yu brought Su Tiancai with him, helped Chen Jing put on his clothes, and poured all the remaining wine into Chen Jing's mouth.
Then they carried the unconscious Chen Jing to the guesthouse.
Throw Chen Jing onto the bed,
Cheng Yu and Su Tiancai hurried back to the Su family.
However, just as Cheng Yu and Su Tiancai stepped into the tube building, someone shouted from behind: "Comrades? Two young comrades, please wait a moment."
Cheng Yu and Su Tiancai stopped, turned around, and found that the person who called them was a well-dressed middle-aged man.
This person had the dignity of a superior, but he asked politely, "Hello, comrades! I want to ask, does Comrade Su Tianli live here?"
"Yes," Su Tiancai nodded, "Who are you?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's like this, I'm here to look for Su Tianli's boyfriend Cheng Yu. Excuse me, do you know... where Cheng Yu is?"
Su Tiancai looked at Cheng Yu standing aside.
Cheng Yu: ???
