Chapter 223 The sky is so dead
"Comrade, please give us two more servings of meat dishes and a large bowl of rice."
After letting He Zheng sit down, Erhe asked the staff of the state-owned restaurant to serve the food. He Zheng was furious at this look, so she had to coax him. The male staff brought over the last two meat dishes, one of which was braised pork and the other was a small bowl of stewed chicken.
At that time, the à la carte system was not popular in state-owned restaurants, and they sold whatever dishes the kitchen had prepared.
These were the only two meat dishes left. I had thought they wouldn’t be sold today, but unexpectedly the people at this table were so generous that the last two were sold.
A big bowl of rice was also brought over.
Erhe took the bowl and placed it in front of He Zheng, "Eat quickly."
Coming back from the capital is a much longer journey than coming from the countryside. He Zheng looks exhausted, and it is obvious how hard the journey must have been.
He Zheng calmed down and looked at Erhe's belly first.
Of course, nothing can be seen this month.
He wanted to reach out and touch it, but he felt embarrassed because there were other people around, so he picked up the chopsticks and put some chicken and meat into Erhe's bowl.
"Wife, you eat more. It doesn't matter if I don't eat."
Wang Xiu looked at her youngest son, then thought of her eldest son, who was a piece of wood, and kicked him hard under the table.
He Feng was kicked for no reason. Even though he had little expression on his face, his eyes widened slightly and he looked at his mother in disbelief, "Mom, how did I make you unhappy?"
Erhe, He Zheng, and Liang Wenwen all looked over.
Wang Xiu smiled kindly, "My old cold leg suddenly hurt a little, so I moved and accidentally kicked the boss."
This meal...
He Feng couldn't eat anymore and put down his chopsticks. "He Zheng, since you're back, you can accompany them back to the hospital. I'll go back to the army first."
"Remember to pay the bill, and also the two dishes and rice that Erhe ordered later, which will be included in the bill." Let's go, let's go, Wang Xiu won't keep him.
"Brother, you don't have to pay the bill. We will pay this time." How could Erhe really let her uncle pay every time? She didn't have this habit. Besides, the allowances He Feng earned in the army were all earned through blood and sweat. It was not easy.
He Feng still reached into his pocket and took out the money.
"How about this, big brother, do me a favor. We'll go back to the hospital soon. It's too dark outside. Please help me take Wenwen back."
He Feng paused counting the money and looked at the girl opposite him.
Liang Wenwen had finished eating and quickly put down her chopsticks, "Then I'll trouble Brother He Feng."
He Feng was even more surprised. You're a girl and it's dark outside, and you want me, a grown man, to take you home?
You are really brave.
"Erhe, I'm leaving first. Goodbye, auntie, and Brother He Zheng!" Liang Wenwen said goodbye to everyone generously, picked up the scarf and wrapped it around her. The red scarf made her face look bright and charming, and she turned and walked outside.
He Feng touched his back teeth with the tip of his tongue, pursed his thin lips, and finally followed.
"Be careful on the road. Send Comrade Liang home before you leave, okay?" Wang Xiu said worriedly. Looking at his eldest son's expression, he was really worried that he might abandon Comrade Liang on the road.
"Mom, don't worry. Although my brother is not interested in women, he is a soldier. Serving the people is his mission. He will definitely send Wenwen home safely." Erhe really had no intention of bringing the two together, but this matter could only be handled by He Feng. She and Wang Xiu were not suitable. As for He Zheng, his eyes were dark circles, and it was obvious that he was not getting enough sleep. It would be bad if something unexpected happened.
As soon as the two of them left, the table became much quieter.
He Zheng glanced at his own mother, "Why are you here?"
Wang Xiu said, "How can I not come when Erhe is pregnant? You are in the capital, and Erhe's two sisters are married with their own families and jobs. Commander Nie is busy with work, so if I don't come, will Erhe be left home alone? Our He family doesn't treat our daughters-in-law so harshly."
"Comrade Wang, you have a good understanding. Now that I'm back, I will definitely accompany my wife tonight. Where will you sleep, Comrade Wang?" He Zheng looked at Wang Xiu calmly across the table. The general meaning was that tonight we husband and wife have been separated for a long time and have many private things to talk about. Shouldn't you move somewhere else?
Wang Xiu: “…”
You little bastard, I keep praising you in front of your brother, but you treat your mother like this.
"You don't need me to accompany you. I'll go back to the hospital after dinner. You can send Mom home. Then don't come over. You two have been traveling all day. You should take a good rest." Erhe is not so delicate. She is just pregnant, not unable to take care of herself. Besides, she didn't react much. Maybe it's not the time yet.
Wang Xiu looked at her son's dark circles and felt distressed. "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let your brother leave so quickly. I should have asked him to take me with him."
Erhe: “…”
Poor uncle!
"Mom, stop talking bad about my brother. If he doesn't treat you well in the future, I'll see what you'll do." He Zheng is also protective of his brother. That's not the case. He is two years younger than He Feng. When he was a kid, he would come back to his brother whenever he couldn't win a fight. His brother would always stand up for him. The two brothers have a revolutionary friendship.
On the other side, He Feng, who was driving, suddenly sneezed three times in a row, causing the car to tilt. He quickly adjusted it.
"You, have a cold?" The two of them were sitting in the car and no one was talking. The atmosphere was quite awkward. Just then, He Feng sneezed, and Liang Wenwen found a topic to break the awkwardness.
He Feng moved his neck and said, "No."
"Don't be so stubborn. It's not shameful to have a cold." Liang Wenwen thought that this person might be too concerned about his reputation.
He Feng really wasn't that stubborn. "I really don't have a cold. Maybe my mom dislikes me again."
Thinking of Wang Xiu's previous attitude, Liang Wenwen felt that it was very likely. "Actually, I think your mother is a very nice person. She's very warm, friendly, and reasonable. As for why she dislikes you so much, did you do something wrong to make her angry?"
Did something wrong?
He Feng thought about it seriously and said, "I guess so."
"Then won't you consider correcting yourself?" Liang Wenwen had no idea what was going on, so she just asked subconsciously. She didn't think she was meddling too much. The main reason was that she was familiar with Erhe, and Wang Xiu was so enthusiastic, making her feel as if she had known this family for a long time, so she didn't need to be particularly cautious when speaking.
He Feng frowned, "It can't be corrected."
"Ah, why?"
He Feng almost blurted out that it was because of his marriage. When the words were on the tip of his tongue, he thought about it and it was obviously inappropriate for him to talk about such private matters with a girl.
So I changed my words and said, "Nothing."
The day probably ended like this.
Liang Wenwen was stunned, and then looked at He Feng's indifferent profile. She no longer had the desire to continue talking. She turned her face to the side and looked out the car window.
