Even the sentry felt Chen Mufeng's nervousness. He looked at the commander, Major, and then at the expressionless Yao Xiaojing. He stretched out his finger, pointed to the transparent glass in the distance, and said, "There is a supermarket over there."
"Okay, thank you, comrade!" He gave a beautiful military salute and stepped into the military compound with Yao Xiaojing.
The rain has already stopped.
They walked on the water-stained cement floor in the direction of Yao's house.
Chen Mufeng stopped at the intersection and grabbed the little man who was rushing forward: "Xiaojing, wait for me here, okay?"
Yao Xiaojing had already guessed that he was going to the supermarket, so she couldn't help but responded to him coldly: "My mother hates people who give gifts. Don't bring trouble to yourself."
Chen Mufeng smiled faintly, motioned for her to wait where she was, and disappeared at the end of the road in the blink of an eye.
She stared at his back for a while before she came back to her senses.
She reached out and patted her dizzy forehead, and whispered to herself: "Yao Xiaojing, are you as crazy as him?"
The ringtone of her cell phone started ringing in her pocket. She took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, so she hung up.
As soon as I put it in my pocket, it started barking again.
He took it out impatiently and hung up again.
When it rang persistently for the third time, she pressed answer almost immediately.
"Hey... who are you..." Her tone was very bad, almost yelling...
There was a brief silence on the other side, as if he was still trying to accept her sudden anger.
"Xiaojing...it's me." It's the deep and melodious voice, not who Chen Mufeng is.
He was actually willing to buy a mobile phone?! Yao Xiaojing remembered the time 6 years ago when he was so frugal that he refused to buy a mobile phone to communicate with her. Thinking of the heart-wrenching scene, her heart, which had been pretending to be strong, suddenly became weak.
stand up.
"What's the matter? You didn't get lost in the supermarket, did you?" She hated her duplicity, but when the nice words came to her lips, they completely changed their taste when she spat them out.
"Ho ho... no... I want to ask aunt and uncle what they usually like. I'm quite stupid. I basically only buy toiletries when I go to the supermarket." What he said was the truth, but he didn't.
I thought that Yao Xiaojing would take the initiative to come over and help him choose after hearing this.
Yao Xiaojing picked out a few of the cheapest nutritional products and prepared to take them to the checkout counter.
Chen Mufeng stopped her with a serious face: "No, this is too shabby."
She didn't listen to him and took the things directly to the cashier: "Xiao Wang, check out!" She was a regular customer and Yao Zhiyuan's daughter, so the cashier naturally acted according to her words.
Chen Mufeng frowned, but seeing that Xiao Jing couldn't resist him, he took two boxes of Deluxe from the side and placed them on the cashier: "Please include this one."
Xiao Wang secretly looked at Yao Xiaojing and saw that the beautiful girl curled her lips and did not refuse, so he felt confident and boldly reported the number.
Chen Mufeng's money was neatly stacked in his pocket. Because it had been exposed to rain before, it was pressed together when he took it out, making it almost impossible to check out normally. Yao Xiaojing watched silently on the side without making a sound.
His expression became very embarrassed, and he borrowed a tissue from Xiao Wang and carefully wiped the water stains on the banknotes.
After the red banknotes were wiped clean and spread out on the table, he said apologetically to Yao Xiaojing: "It may be a little late. Do you want to call Auntie?"
"No need." Yao Xiaojing bit her lower lip and turned her attention to the supermarket poster.
Seeing this, Xiao Wang quickly picked out a few relatively good bills and said, "Just use these to pay the bill, don't delay your meal."
Yao Xiaojing smiled and nodded, put the remaining money away and put it into Chen Mufeng's hand: "Take it, don't get wet in the rain again." She also wanted to say, do you dare to use a wallet? She already has a mobile phone.
, still care about buying a worthless wallet?
Chen Mufeng held the gift in both hands and followed Yao Xiaojing into the Yao family's courtyard.
Standing in the foyer on the first floor, Yao Xiaojing suddenly turned around and said to the tall officer behind her: "Chen Mufeng, you still have time to regret it now!"
He was stunned for a moment, unable to comprehend the meaning of her words.
"Why do you regret it...I don't regret it." Apart from being nervous, he didn't feel that he had any negative emotions.
She rolled her eyes, kicked his calf, and whispered: "I can tell you, if my mother agrees to our matter, it will be too late if you want to go back on it."
Chen Mufeng's head suddenly enlightened, and he thought of their previous bet about getting married at the subway station. He couldn't help but grinned his lips and raised his lips in an exaggerated arc: "I will never regret it... Xiaojing, really, as long as aunt and uncle agree,
, we will go get the certificate tomorrow!”
"..." She had no words to ask, because this man was obviously a hopeless lunatic.
The two were chattering, and Chi Yuyan's voice came from inside: "Is Xiaojing back? Come on, Aunt Zhang made your favorite braised pork ribs, smell it.
"?" With the sound of slippers tapping, a slightly plump figure walked over from the living room.
Chen Mufeng's body suddenly tensed up, and Yao Xiaojing couldn't help but become nervous.
"Mother...."
When Chi Yuyan first saw the figure standing in the hall, she was still a little confused. But when the tall figure politely called her aunt, the smile on her lips quickly faded, and her face suddenly turned pale.
Turning gray, she stared at him and Xiaojing in disbelief, feeling like something had cut out a piece of her chest.
The vague memories from 6 years ago gradually became clear.
At the training ground of the 368th Army, the scene where she forced the then-military cadet to break up with her daughter clearly emerged before her eyes.
"You..." She opened her mouth and spat out one word with difficulty, and then she couldn't say any more.
Chen Mufeng took the initiative and answered in a clear voice: "Hello aunt, I am Chen Mufeng, Xiaojing's boyfriend."
Yao Xiaojing closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then looked at her mother's shocked face, and added in a whisper: "Mom... are you okay?"
