Chen Hong looked at Xiao Zheng as if he were someone he didn't know, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Xiao Zheng, are you kidding me?"
Xiao Zheng picked up the tea next to him, took a sip, and said: "Chen Hong, I'm not joking. I'm serious. Before, you called my parents and told them to postpone the wedding. They were very sad.
But I had to accept it, and I also informed my relatives and friends that the wedding on May 1st was cancelled. When I called my relatives and friends, they were all embarrassed. These things have already happened, but now you tell me that it is okay
Isn’t it just a joke to resume the wedding date?”
Seeing the questioning look in Xiao Zheng's eyes, Chen Hong felt that she had really gone too far before, so she smiled and said, "Why did your parents notify relatives and friends to cancel the engagement so quickly? It would be better if it were not so urgent.
Got it!"
Xiao Zheng heard that Chen Hong was still complaining that his parents were too anxious. He couldn't stand it and said: "We rural people always have plans for everything. Autumn harvest and winter storage must be prepared in advance. Big events like weddings must also be prepared in advance.
, whether you are getting married or canceling a wedding, you must tell others in advance, otherwise others will feel disrespected. Anyway, the wedding has been cancelled. It will definitely not be restored on May 1st."
Chen Hong asked: "Is there really no other way?" Xiao Zheng said: "No."
This was the first time that Xiao Zheng rejected her so decisively. In the past, even if she wanted the stars in the sky, Xiao Zheng would give it a try. She obviously felt that Xiao Zheng's attitude towards her had changed. Chen Hong had no choice but to
Another question was asked: "Then when do you think weddings can resume?"
Xiao Zheng raised his eyes again and quietly asked Chen Hong: "Chen Hong, I think we should be quiet for a while. Both of us should think about it clearly. There is no need to be so hasty. Can you also think about whether I am serious?
Suitable for you?"
Xiao Zheng actually wanted to tell Chen Hong that it might be better for us to break up.
However, he couldn't help but think about the nearly ten-year relationship, which was not easy for the two of them. Over the years, although Chen Hong's parents have been against their being together, Chen Hong has never been with him.
Proposing a breakup. It was only two years ago that Cai Shaohua visited Chen Hong's house and seemed to replace him, Xiao Zheng. However, in the end, because of Xiao Zheng's promotion, Cai Shaohua also lost the opportunity to get close to Chen Hong.
Xiao Zheng thought, if he hadn't been promoted yet, would Chen Hong still be with him? They might have broken up.
But this is just speculation, not fact. Therefore, Xiao Zheng's attitude towards Chen Hong has now become very complicated.
He was even a little confused as to which direction his relationship with Chen Hong would develop. If he broke up with Chen Hong decisively, he would feel sorry for her. After all, she had given him her body.
A man should be responsible for a woman. This is what his parents have taught him since he was a child.
That's why Xiao Zheng said to Chen Hong, "Can you think about whether I am really suitable for you?" He wanted to hand over the decision to Chen Hong. No matter what choice Chen Hong made, he would agree to it.
.
Chen Hong was extremely surprised by these words. Xiao Zheng would actually ask such a question? In Chen Hong's opinion, Xiao Zheng might be a little stubborn and now has the habit of making his own decisions, but his love for her is impossible to change.
, Chen Hong has always had this confidence for so many years. If she, Chen Hong, proposed to break up, Xiao Zheng would probably beg her not to leave!
However, Xiao Zheng's words just now imply a breakup!
Chen Hong vaguely felt that something was wrong. She stared into Xiao Zheng's eyes and said, "You're asking me now if I'm suitable? If I don't think it's suitable, why have I been with you these past few years? Do I still need to ask?"
"
Xiao Zheng was not suppressed by Chen Hong's question: "Chen Hong, I think you should think about it. If I didn't pass the examination as deputy county magistrate this time, if I didn't get promoted in the past few years, you would still think
Am I suitable for you?" Chen Hong did not answer his question, but said: "These are all assumptions of yours. But in fact, you have been promoted very quickly in the past few years, and this time you were also admitted to the position of deputy county magistrate.
.Why assume things that won’t happen?”
Xiao Zheng said: "This is not a hypothesis, these are things that may happen. When you are a cadre, anything can happen. Now I am promoted quickly, but what if one day I am demoted or suspended?
Have you thought about this problem?"
Chen Hong said disapprovingly: "I won't think about these problems! This kind of thing will not happen. We should not be so pessimistic and think about boring things. We should all look forward and strive to reach a higher level.
."
Xiao Zheng is not as optimistic as Chen Hong. This is the difference between the two. Chen Hong's family background has caused her to have a smooth life since she was a child. She worked as a teacher in school for several years and was transferred to the municipal party committee organization through Xiao Zheng.
In such a high-power department, she has encountered few setbacks.
But Xiao Zheng was different. He was suppressed by Song Guoming when he was in the township. He spent several years being despised, lost, depressed and painful. Those days taught him that there are all possibilities in life, and if there is good, there will be hope.
Where there are peaks, there are also troughs. God makes up for the shortcomings when there are more losses. If God gives you good things in this area, it will inevitably take back some of it in other aspects.
Xiao Zheng hoped that his wife would be someone who could stand with him in the same boat, bear the ups and downs together. However, over the years, Xiao Zheng found that Chen Hong seemed to be able to share the joys and sorrows with him, but she may not necessarily share the same hardships with him.
Xiao Zheng insisted: "Chen Hong, I think we should think about it again. You can also discuss it with your parents and listen to their opinions."
Chen Hong listened to what Xiao Zheng said. She said, "If you insist on going back today, I will go back with you. I will take your car."
It seems that Chen Hong is going to discuss with his family tonight, Xiao Zheng said: "Okay, let's go."
On the way from Jingzhou city to Anxian, Xiao Zhong was driving, Xiao Zheng and Chen Hong were sitting in the back, and the two of them didn't speak much.
Xiao Zhong felt like he had become a light bulb and was embarrassed, so he turned on the car radio. What was playing was Rene Liu's "Later": "Later, I finally learned how to love, but you had disappeared into the sea of people; later, I
I finally understood through my tears that some people will no longer be there once they are missed..."
When Chen Hong heard the song, he felt that the song was very ominous, so he said to Xiao Zhong: "Change the song." Xiao Zhong glanced in the rearview mirror and said: "Oh, okay, Director Chen." He quickly changed the song.
A radio station changed to another song, which contained Jacky Cheung's voice: "This time my love will not last forever. Can those who have missed it be able to look back? The heart that has loved does not have any requests... A thousand sad hearts
The reason, in the end, my love slowly became obsolete in the story..."
When Chen Hong heard that the song was still unlucky, she ordered: "Xiao Zhong, turn off the radio, what kind of songs are these." Xiao Zhong had no choice but to turn off the radio and sent Chen Hong to her in silence.
Parents' community. When they got downstairs, Chen Hong got out of the car, but Xiao Zheng didn't send him up.
Chen Hong glanced at Xiao Zheng and felt very unhappy. Xiao Zheng used to take the initiative to send her upstairs. She had no choice but to say, "I'm going up." Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "Good night." Then.
The car door hit.
Chen Hong returned home and it was already past ten o'clock. Chen Hong's mother heard the sound and came out of the room. Seeing her daughter's face looking unhappy, she asked her what was going on? Chen Hong told what happened tonight.
Sun Wenmin said it.
Sun Wenmin realized that the problem was serious, so he pulled up Chen Guangming, who was already asleep after eating and drinking. Chen Guangming asked: "What's the situation? Is there something that can't be discussed tomorrow?" Sun Wenmin: "Important things, hurry up.
stand up."
Sun Wenmin prepared honey grapefruit tea for Chen Hong and herself, and Keemun black tea for Chen Guangming. The three of them sat down on the sofa.
After hearing what Chen Hong said about Xiao Zheng's performance today, Sun Wenmin became a little anxious: "We are willing to resume the engagement, but he is not willing? This Xiao Zheng is starting to have some airs! If he doesn't want to get married, then we won't get married.
Got it!"
Chen Guangming blew the Keemun black tea and drank a few sips. After a few sips, his drowsiness was eliminated. He said: "We can't act on impulse on this matter. As I said last time, Xiao Zheng is now the deputy county chief.
We can't treat him like we used to. People are like this. With a higher status, their demands are higher, and they also need face and dignity. Last time, we proposed to postpone the marriage, and now we have proposed to resume it.
As long as he is a man, it is normal for him to be unhappy. In the past, he might not have dared to do anything, but now that he is the deputy county chief, he has the capital to be unhappy."
Sun Wenmin said: "Then what should we do? Are we going to let our daughter suffer this injustice?" Chen Guangming thought for a while and said: "I'm not saying we want our daughter to be wronged. We have to find a way to solve this problem.
It was cracked. I think the most effective way is to find a breakthrough from Xiao Zheng's parents. Last time, Chen Hong called Xiao Zheng's parents and told them to postpone the wedding. This time, it is better to find a breakthrough from Xiao Zheng's parents.
Get it. I heard that Xiao Zheng is quite filial. As long as he convinces his parents, Xiao Zheng should also listen to his parents."
Sun Wenmin said: "Xiao Zheng's parents are two farmers, and I don't know how to deal with them." Chen Hong said, "I will go to Lushui Village tomorrow to talk to Xiao Zheng's parents." Sun Wenmin said
He said, "Tomorrow is Saturday anyway, so I'll go with you." Chen Guangming said, "Our family hasn't been to Xiao Zheng's house for a long time, so I'll go too, just to see his parents. In this way, Xiao Zheng
He may also be moved, and the anger in his heart will naturally dissipate."
On Saturday morning, Xiao Zheng went to work in the town just like every other day.
He knew that it would not be long before he could work in the town. As long as the Organization Department asked him to report, he would go to work in the county. Therefore, he took advantage of these few days to do as much as possible.
However, around ten o'clock in the morning, my father Xiao Rongrong called: "Xiao Zheng, come back for dinner. The Chen family is here."
"Chen family?" Xiao Zheng was stunned, "Chen Hong family?" Xiao Rongrong said: "Which other Chen family could it be? Come back quickly."
