Jiang Zhenren came back from his hometown in the afternoon when I was talking to Sun Lulu, and he called me.
"What are the arrangements for the evening?" I asked him.
"No arrangement. Just listen to you," he said.
"Okay then. Do you think you are going to my house or outside?" I asked.
"Just go to your house. Su Hua can't leave, right?" he said.
I immediately became happy because I had not considered letting him meet Su Hua at first, and I wanted to further test his attitude.
Then I called Su Hua and asked her to cook a few more dishes in the evening.
"Are there any guests coming tonight?" she asked.
"Yes." I answered.
"Who?" she asked.
"You will know then, the person you know." I replied vaguely, feeling funny in my heart.
I drove to pick up Jiang Zhenren after get off work. When we entered the house, Su Hua was in the kitchen. "Feng Xiao, your house is really nice." Jiang Zhenren looked at the living room and said to me.
"This is not actually my house." I said with a smile, "Please sit down and I will make you tea."
At this time, Su Hua came out of the kitchen, holding dishes in her hands, "Feng Xiao, who is coming today..." She suddenly saw Jiang Zhenren on the sofa and stood there blankly.
I hurriedly smiled and said, "Su Hua, put down the dishes and come over to talk. I'll do the rest." After saying that, I went directly to the kitchen without giving her a chance to refuse or prevaricate.
There is chicken soup simmering in the kitchen, as well as cooked sausages and bacon. Several other dishes that are ready to be cooked have been prepared.
I first cut the sausages and bacon into slices and put them on the plate, listening carefully to the noise outside.
"Are you okay?" Jiang Zhenren seemed to be the first to speak. Then Su Hua was heard replying: "That's it anyway."
"That's good, you can help Feng Xiao." Jiang Zhenren said.
"Is he paying for me? How come I help him?" Su Hua's voice sounded.
"That's right. He's trying to help you." Jiang Zhenren said.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly: Why did these two people talk about me instead of talking about their relationship?
So I started cooking, and the sound of the pot immediately covered up the chatter outside. Half an hour later, I finished cooking all the dishes, and then brought them to the table, "Brother Jiang, Su Hua, are here to eat. Let's have a drink outside."
"You two drink, I have to wipe Chen Yuan's body, and the child will wake up in a while." Su Hua said.
I opened a bottle of Moutai and then started drinking with Jiang Zhenren.
"Brother Jiang, did you have a good time during the Spring Festival?" I asked, completely at a loss for words.
He nodded and said: "That's it. The current Spring Festival tastes a lot worse than before. What I didn't eat before, I can eat a few good meats during the Spring Festival only a few days a year, so the feeling of celebrating the New Year is strong.
Now I can no longer eat meat every day, but during the Chinese New Year I like to eat vegetarian dishes."
I found that he was quite talkative, probably because he was in a good mood. So I said, "Yeah, that's the case with many things. I remember that when I was in college, everyone was very poor, and everyone would pool their money to go out to eat and drink.
It was only a few dollars a pound, but the strange thing is, I think we were very happy at that time. Now that we have money, we no longer have the same happiness as before."
"That's right, it's so weird. Feng Xiao, let me toast you. Thank you for inviting me to your house for a drink." He raised his glass to me.
"We are old friends, don't be so polite." I said, and then drank the wine, "Brother Jiang, actually now I have realized a saying, plainness is the truth. People deal with things like this in their lives. I now
I often think about my ex-wife and Chen Yuan who is lying on the bed now. I always feel that I am very ashamed of them. I don’t want to say anything that is precious only after losing it, but I lament that life is short and fate is ill-fated.
Being able to come together is God's arrangement, and we can't ignore God's good intentions. Take me for example. Hey! I used to be ignorant, but in the end I was punished by God."
I am carefully touching on the emotional issues of both of them, and of course I believe they should understand what I mean.
Jiang Zhenren didn't say anything. He picked up the wine glass and drank it alone.
I went to see Su Hua, but she put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "I'm done eating. You guys can drink slowly." After that, she left. Then I saw her fill a basin of water and enter the bedroom.
"Feng Xiao, thank you." Jiang Zhenren said to me in a low voice. His voice was very small and his speaking speed was very slow. It sounded like an angry voice.
"Give her a chance. Although I understand you, I think as men we should be more generous." I sighed and raised my glass to him.
"I need time to forget about the past," he said.
I nodded, "Understood. By the way, I will arrange your affairs as soon as possible. Don't worry."
"Thank you. I didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic and generous," he said.
"As long as I can do it, I will definitely find a way to do it for you." I smiled.
Later, we both finished a bottle of wine, and when I was about to get another bottle, he stopped me and said, "Feng Xiao, I don't usually drink much, but I'm already feeling drunk."
"You guys go out for a walk, I will take care of things at home." I said.
He shook his head, "Let's give it another day. I'll call her another day."
After eating, he talked to me for a while and then left. I asked Su Hua to take him downstairs. Su Hua hesitated but I pushed him out of the door.
The baby was crying, so I went to change his diaper, and then prepared to mix milk powder for him, but suddenly I remembered that I didn’t know what concentration to use. I wanted to wait until Su Hua came back, but I could see that the baby was obviously
I was hungry, so I hurried to the study room to read a book.
"Feng Xiao, what are you doing? The child is crying like this, what are you doing?" Su Hua shouted from outside the door. I ran out of the study room in a hurry, and said to her with a wry smile: "I am flipping through the book.
Depend on what concentration your child’s milk powder should be.”
She was startled and then burst into laughter, "You! You are such a nerd!"
The baby stopped crying immediately after feeding, and then I asked her: "Why did you come back so soon?"
"I can't find anything to say." She whispered.
"Su Hua, you should also take the initiative. After all, you are not young people anymore. You were once husband and wife, so there is nothing you can't say." I said.
"After all, I'm divorced. There are some things I keep in my heart but I can't say them out. Do you think it's embarrassing?" she said with a wry smile.
I immediately understood that she was talking about the past mistakes of both parties. So I sighed: "Take your time."
She looked at me and hesitated to speak. I hurriedly said: "I'm going to the study to read."
Some things must end, and try not to let her say it. I think that as long as I express my attitude, she will not do this again in the future.
Tong Yao called me after ten o'clock in the evening, "Feng Xiao, I'm sorry, my mother said she would go to your unit to understand your situation."
I was horrified, "What did you say to her?"
"I'm just saying you're a carefree person, what's the matter?" she replied.
"You!" I said angrily, "Tong Yao, have you ever thought about it? If your mother came to our unit to understand the situation, wouldn't everything be clear? And it would also have a bad impact on me."
"Then what do you think we should do?" She also became anxious.
"What else can you do? Tell your mother the real situation immediately. There is no choice now. Instead of her coming to the hospital to understand the situation clearly, it is better for you to tell her everything yourself. She is your mother and will not blame her.
Yours." I said.
"That's all we have to do," she said.
I thought to myself: You are still a police officer, why can't you handle such a small thing? It seems that the authorities are obsessed with what they say.
But half an hour later she called again, "Feng Xiao, it's over, my mother doesn't believe what I said at all. What do you think I should do? She doesn't believe it when I tell the truth."
I was stunned, and then I couldn't laugh or cry, "This is the consequence of lying. If it were you, would you believe it?"
"The question is what to do now?" she asked anxiously.
"What else can I do? I'll come over right away and explain it to your mother in person." I sighed and said, "Really, look at what you've done!"
Go out immediately. Su Hua ran out and asked me: "Are you going out again?"
"A police friend asked me for something. I will be back soon." I said, and then added: "You should go to bed early. I will sleep in the bedroom at night."
After saying that, she hurried away without looking at her face.
It was almost eleven o'clock when I arrived at Tong Yao's house. As soon as I entered, I apologized directly to Tong Yao's mother.
"Even if you are working together to deceive me, I think you two are very suitable." However, the old lady said this after listening to my explanation. I immediately understood that Tong Yao had not told her that I was married.
, so he hurried to see Tong Yao.
"Speak for yourself." She said.
My heart suddenly moved, and I hurriedly said: "Auntie, it's like this. In fact, I'm already married, really."
The old lady looked at me in shock, and then asked us sternly: "What is the relationship between you two? Yaoyao, you are not fooling around with this married man, are you? You should know, you are a policeman,
How could you do such an immoral thing? And you, you actually have the nerve to come to my house! Get out of here! I will go to your leader to sue you tomorrow!"
Tong Yao's face suddenly changed, and she stared at me, "Feng Xiao, you, please explain it to her quickly!"
I also regretted that I didn't tell the whole story just now, so I hurriedly said: "Auntie, don't get excited. You can listen to me until I finish speaking, okay?"
The old lady sat there angrily and said nothing. I hurriedly said: "Auntie, that's it. Tong Yao was going to perform a special task, so she asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend. I didn't tell you the truth at that time just to keep it secret.
.”
"You mean Yaoyao is all for work?" the old lady asked, her face improved a lot. Tong Yao quietly gave me a thumbs up. (To be continued)
