Lao Chen and Liang Meijuan left Jianye at 10 a.m. and arrived at Gangcheng at around 2 p.m. Seeing their neighbor back, fat Aunt Xia was very happy and immediately brought members of the "Haining Community Gossip Committee" over to express condolences. .
They were all middle-aged women around 50 years old. While they angrily denounced the rumor makers, they helped Liang Meijuan pack her luggage.
Chen Zhaojun shook his head. Those nonsense messages were probably spread out by these elder sisters with added fuel and jealousy. The key is that they themselves were not aware of it.
"Well, you guys just sit at home."
Chen Zhaojun stood up and said, "It's almost time to go to work, I'll go to the work unit."
"Okay. Okay, go ahead. Stop buying groceries tonight and come to our house for dinner.”
More than one neighbor invited her like this. They didn’t start flattering Queen Mother Liang just because Chen Hansheng was rich now. It's really just because the old neighbors have a good relationship that they become like relatives.
After Chen Zhaojun went downstairs, he didn't actually go to his unit. He walked along the river bank and finally reached Cangwu Community.
He planned to make an appointment with Xiao Hongwei to talk. Chen Zhaojun turned out to be a "Xiaoyu Party member". Even after his son and Xiao Yuer broke up, Lao Chen could see that the two still had feelings for each other.
Breaking up should be forced.
So Lao Chen has been waiting for the day when the relationship between Chen Hansheng and Xiao Rongyu will be restored.
At the same time, he was also very surprised as to what was the reason that made Xiao Yuer say "I don't love Chen Hansheng" against his will.
It wasn’t until he spent the Spring Festival in Jianye, looking at “another daughter-in-law” Shen Youchu, that Lao Chen suddenly realized, could it be that Chen Hansheng was exposed in two different ways?
If this is possible, it can explain why Xiao Yuer reluctantly left Hansheng.
However, if this is possible, Chen Hansheng and Xiao Yuer will never get back together.
p>Lao Chen did not tell Empress Dowager Liang about this discovery. When he left, he seriously reminded Chen Hansheng that everything in the past is in the past. If you choose Shen Youchu this time, don't make any mistakes again.
As for the relationship with Lao Xiao, Chen Zhaojun decided to handle it himself. Maybe Xiao Hongwei would say some unpleasant things, but Lao Chen was willing to "wipe the butt" for Chen Hansheng
That's it. A father's efforts behind the scenes, although Empress Dowager Liang often yells and Chen Hansheng is domineering outside, they all know that the kind and wise old Chen is the spiritual pillar of the family.
Call Xiao. After the call from Hongwei, Chen Zhaojun hesitated between "Old Xiao" and "Director Xiao", but thinking that Chen Hansheng and Shen Youchu had already established a relationship, he chose "Director Xiao"
"Director Xiao". .
Chen Zhaojun said politely: "Happy New Year. Are you free now? There is a tea place near Cangwu Green Garden. I would like to report to you about my work." ”
This is veryThe official sentence structure is a bit unfamiliar and distant in politeness. If it is "Lao Xiao", it is probably a title between friends.
Chen Zhaojun was prepared to be rejected, but to his surprise, Xiao Hongwei was silent on the phone for a while, and finally exhaled and said: "It's better not to go to the teahouse, there is something ready-made at home." Cha, Lu Yuqing and Xiao Yu'er are related. Besides, do you, the director of the district office, need to report to me? Lao Chen, don't be so polite."
"? p>A question mark appeared in Chen Zhaojun's mind. He and Xiao Hongwei were both officials who had been in the system for many years, and they had a very accurate grasp of the subtext conveyed in the communication.
Not only did Xiao Hongwei not refuse, but he also allowed himself to go to his home. If the two families were still related by in-laws, it would be normal, but the current situation is not consistent with common sense.
"Okay, I'll go over now."
Although he was full of doubts, Chen Zhaojun still agreed. When he came to Xiao Hongwei's house, he found that he had already made a pot of tea.
A handful of tea leaves freely stretch and settle in the glass pot. The water vapor rises with the fragrance of tea. The afternoon sun shines in from outside the window, forming a pattern on the floor because of the blessing stickers. The hollow word "HI".
Such a situation should have warmed people's hearts, but Xiao Hongwei's spirit was not good, his eyebrows were furrowed, his neat hair was now a little messy, and his eyes were slightly dark, as if he was depressed. A lot of pressure.
The image of "Daniel Wu from Hong Kong City" has completely disappeared, and he looks more like an ordinary middle-aged father.
Chen Zhaojun put down the fruit in his hand. He went to the supermarket to buy it specially and was thinking about what happened to Lao Xiao.
Work?
I haven’t heard of any changes in my position.
Family?
Even if he quarreled with Lu Yuqing, he wouldn't behave like this.
Is it true?
Is it because of Xiaoyuer?
... The child is worried, and so is Chen Hansheng.
But, what could happen to Xiao Yuer?
"Old Chen, why do you need to buy fruit?"
Xiao Hongwei took out a clean glass and poured tea for Chen Zhaojun, while saying calmly: "Your son He always comes empty-handed, and the most annoying thing is that he will take some of my collection of cigarettes and wine, saying that he takes them home to honor you."
"... ·"
Chen Zhaojun was a little embarrassed. This was really Chen Hansheng's style.
"Let's drink tea. In fact, if you don't come to me today, I plan to come to you."
Xiao Hongwei moved the cup over and looked at Lao Chen and said.
Chen Zhaojun’s heart moved. The next fewMinutes later, the living room was very quiet. The two fathers were quietly sipping tea, each with their own thoughts in mind.
Chen Zhaojun naturally felt guilty. If his guess was correct, then the breakup was all Chen Hansheng's fault, so he planned to express three levels of meaning. One was that he regretted that Chen Hansheng and Xiao Yu'er did not make it to the end; the other was to represent Chen Hansheng. , I apologize; third, I wish Xiao Yuer a better life in the future.
While organizing the words, it was Xiao Hongwei who spoke first.
"Old Chen."
Xiao Hongwei put down his tea cup: "After Xiao Yuer starts school, she plans to go to the United States."
"For that scene Transnational marriage lawsuit?"
Chen Zhaojun knows about this.
"Yes."
Xiao Hongwei nodded. He stared at the photo of a family of three on the wall, and suddenly fell silent again.
In the photo, Xiao Rongyu’s smile is as bright as a flower, and the pear dimples are deeply charming, and Lao Xiao’s eyes gradually become gentle.
Chen Zhaojun did not bother. After a while, Xiao Hongwei took the initiative and said: "It is difficult for Lao Lu and I to go abroad now, so I would like to ask Han Sheng to help take care of it until we have completed the internal withdrawal procedures, and then Let someone else take care of him."
"Huh?"
Chen Zhaojun frowned, never expecting that Xiao Hongwei would discuss this matter with him.
But they broke up. Besides, Chen Hansheng has chosen to be with Shen Youchu, so this is not appropriate.
Chen Hansheng can no longer fall into endless emotional entanglements. Just as Lao Chen was about to politely refuse, Xiao Hongwei suddenly said: "You are a father, and I am also a father. Everyone is doing it for their own children. Then Can’t Chen Hansheng do something for his children?”
“What, what, what?”
Chen Zhaojun is not a fool, he understands the meaning of this sentence. .
At this moment, Lao Chen realized what it meant to be a "bolt from the blue", what it meant to be "short of breath", and what it meant to have "the heart blocking the throat and eyes". He was stunned for a long time, not only his expression Surprised, even his arms and calves began to tremble uncontrollably.
"You are, you mean..."
Chen Zhaojun couldn't wait to confirm, but his tongue could not be smoothed out and he was stammering.
"Xiao Yu'er should be pregnant, she hasn't realized it yet."
In the end, it was Lao Xiao who gave the answer.
When Xiao Hongwei said this, his voice was actually a little choked. The apple of his eye was pregnant, and he, as a father, had the most complicated thoughts.
In particular, Chen Hansheng and Xiao Yuer have just broken up, what should they do?
...
