"He said he didn't have time to come back, and he hung up on me."
Listening to the busy tone, Liang Meijuan said to Chen Zhaojun in a daze.
Chen Zhaojun didn't believe it. It was not uncommon for parents and children to hang up on each other when they quarreled. This was just a trivial matter in the family and was not worth investigating. The key was that Lao Chen didn't believe that Chen Hansheng would not come back.
He took out his Xiaolingtong and called Chen Hansheng, but the result was "Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is powered off..."
"Not only did he hang up, but he also turned off the phone."
Lao Chen frowned.
"What should I do?"
Liang Meijuan said worriedly: "Xiao Yuer's 20th birthday is coming soon. I met Lu Yuqing at the vegetable market in the evening. She even reminded me once."
"Lao Xiao also sent the invitation to my office on purpose."
Chen Zhaojun also added.
"But, this bastard actually took Xiao Shen to Zhiming's house. If his second aunt hadn't called to congratulate me on getting a daughter-in-law who is more beautiful than a star, I would still be in the dark."
Liang Meijuan made another call, but the phone was still turned off, which meant that Chen Hansheng didn't want to pay attention.
"What do you mean?"
The old Chen couple looked at each other, and they suddenly realized that Chen Hansheng had made a choice?
At this moment, both of them felt a little mixed.
The relief is that no matter how cruel the result is, it is always a good thing;
The sadness is that no matter who is chosen, the good girl must be very sad.
Especially Chen Zhaojun felt even more depressed, he always felt that Xiao Rongyu was more suitable.
Liang Meijuan couldn't be happy either. Chen Hansheng deliberately didn't come back to attend Xiao Yuer's birthday, but took Shen Youchu to visit relatives, and publicly expressed that he was too mean to Xiao Yuer through such an approach.
"Are we still going to this birthday party?"
Liang Meijuan suddenly felt a little scared to see the sweet and lively Xiao Rongyu. This girl bought her a down jacket during the Spring Festival.
"Go."
Lao Chen thought for a while: "Let's just treat it as a visit with Lao Xiao, soak our feet and go to bed."
Liang Meijuan glared at her husband: "It's time, you still want to soak your feet?"
Chen Zhaojun touched his head: "Even if the sky falls, you have to eat."
Liang Meijuan snorted and ignored him, and turned to the bedroom.
Chen Zhaojun shook his head, mixed hot water and brought a wooden bucket to Liang Meijuan, saying: "Take off your shoes."
It turned out that Lao Chen just asked his wife to soak her feet, but Liang Meijuan ignored him and sat on the edge of the bed and was angry with her son.
Chen Zhaojun sighed, bent down to help Liang Meijuan take off her shoes and socks, and put her feet in the wooden bucket. He also dipped his hands in the water to help his wife press the acupuncture points and joints.
The lamp was dim and the wooden barrel was a little mottled. There was only the sound of water stirring in the bedroom. It was very quiet at other times.
Liang Meijuan lowered her head. Her husband was patiently massaging her heels, concentrating and carefully.
Lao Chen was actually quite good. He was neither good nor bad at work, but he was very popular. His only hobby was writing. Although his family was not rich, they would not live frugally.
Thinking of this, Liang Meijuan felt warm in her heart. A companion for old age, a companion for old age. When her son got married, this man would accompany her for the rest of her life.
Wait?
Why did I think of my son!
At this moment, Liang Meijuan suddenly felt her chest getting stuffy again.
Lao Chen was also wondering in his heart. He had noticed that his wife was in a better mood, but why did she get angry again in a blink of an eye?
······
The next day was March 15. It was a good day to seek offspring, get married, and meet relatives and friends; it was not a good day to move or separate.
In the morning, everyone is busy with their own things.
Chen Zhaojun and Liang Meijuan ride their bikes to work.
The old Xiao couple are discussing that Xiao Hongwei will go to Jianye to pick up his daughter tomorrow afternoon, and Lu Yuqing will go to the hotel to check if there are any leaks at the banquet.
Everyone is only 20 years old once, and Xiao Yuer is the princess of the family, so everything must be arranged properly.
As for Chen Hansheng, he went to meet up with Kong Jing's team very early. Second Aunt Gan Wenxiu came to the hotel in a hurry after class.
This time Hu Linyu learned to be smart. If she follows Chen Hansheng, she may be sold by him and help count money. Only by holding Shen Youchu tightly can she have a good life.
The fact is just as she thought. Gan Wenxiu took them to see the Twenty-Four Bridges, the Grand Canal and Wenchang Pavilion, and ate authentic Yangzhou snacks on Siwangting Road.
In the evening, Chen Lan didn't attend the evening self-study class and quietly slipped out of school. The four women strolled around the West Lake at night. Hu Linyu was so moved that she wanted to cry. What a hard life she had lived yesterday.
The 16th was also spent like this. In the evening, the second aunt took them home for dinner.
Just when Hu Linyu was enjoying herself, Chen Hansheng suddenly announced that he would send them back tomorrow morning, that is, on the 17th.
"Ah?"
Hu Linyu was reluctant to leave: "You're leaving so early. Little Alan and I are in a good relationship."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Chen Hansheng waved his hand impatiently: "Alan just asked me what the name of that short-legged sister is?"
"Nonsense!"
Chen Lan ran over and pinched Chen Hansheng's neck to stop him from talking nonsense: "My brother can only sow discord. Don't listen to his nonsense."
"That's right."
Hu Linyu nodded in agreement. Compared with Chen Hansheng, who can only lie, of course, the cute little Alan is more trustworthy. Besides, they have been together for two days, how could they not know each other's names.
"Sister Hu Muyu, you are going back to Jianye. I can't bear to leave you. Wait for me to pass the exam in Jianye to find you to play."
Chen Lan also hugged Hu Linyu reluctantly.
Hu Linyu: ······
Xiao Hu touched the sweat stains on his temples and smiled awkwardly.
Damn, this brother and sister are really unreliable!
My name is Hu Linyu, not Hu Muyu!
"Sister-in-law, I always think it's incredible that you are my brother's girlfriend."
Chen Lan looked at Shen Youchu sympathetically: "I'll ask you one last time. If you are forced, then blink so that I can call the police to save you from suffering."
Chen Hansheng: ······
At the same time, just as these young people were making trouble, a Santana with a Su G license plate slowly stopped downstairs of the girls' dormitory building of the Xianning campus of Dongda University.
The driver was a middle-aged handsome man. He was almost 50 years old, but his waist was still very straight, and his hair was combed meticulously. It can be imagined that this man was definitely a fascination for thousands of girls when he was young.
Even now, he can still attract the attention of the aunts at the dormitory management station.
Some aunties even went up to "chat up" with them, being polite and courteous, completely different from their attitude towards the boys.
"Are you a student's parent?"
"Yes, I am."
The middle-aged handsome man smiled and nodded, showing his white teeth.
The auntie was actually a little embarrassed.
"What's your child's name? I'm the auntie in this dormitory, and basically all the students know me."
The auntie thought that since the father was so handsome, there might be only a few daughters, and she should be familiar with them.
"Yes, she's out."
The middle-aged handsome man pointed to the door, and his smile became even brighter, with love from the heart in his eyes.
The auntie turned her head and looked.
"It's her, no wonder."
Xiao Rongyu, the only designated campus beauty of Dongda University, no wonder her father is so handsome, no wonder.
