Chen Yuting said: "If I hadn't insisted on going out that day, that incident wouldn't have happened. Three years after her father passed away, I chose to remarry and hurt her feelings. It's all my fault. I know she must hate me psychologically."
"
Zhang Chi said: "Auntie, Jiujiu wouldn't think so."
Chen Yuting shook her head and said: "I know my daughter. When her father was alive, he often said that his daughter was beautiful and would definitely become a big star and an international movie star in the future. She remembered that sentence and has not forgotten it until now.
, always working hard in this direction, with the same temperament as her father, too stubborn, and will not give up until she achieves her goal."
Zhang Chi realized that mother and daughter, Chen Yuting and Xiao Jiujiu, had probably not communicated with each other for a long time. If it hadn't been for Tong Jianjun's warm invitation, he would never have come to visit. Such a meeting was really embarrassing.
Chen Yuting smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I rarely go out and have no one to talk to, so I said whatever I had to say and caused trouble for you."
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "Auntie, don't say that. Jiujiu and I are good friends. In fact, I have wanted to visit you for a long time."
"Zhang Chi, I often see Jiujiu on TV now. I know she is very good, and I am also happy for her, but..." Chen Yuting hesitated to speak.
Tong Jianjun had already come out with two cold dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, and placed them on the small table.
Zhang Chi said: "Uncle Tong, please stop being busy. I won't eat here. It's too disturbing."
Tong Jianjun smiled and said: "What are you doing to disturb me? Your Aunt Chen doesn't eat at night. Why don't you eat after lunch? I usually eat alone. You came just in time. Let's have a drink together. I have a bottle of good wine. I
Come over as soon as the food is ready."
Chen Yuting said: "Uncle Tong, your fish is done very well."
Zhang Chi had no choice but to stay. Tong Jianjun made a total of four dishes in the evening. Two cold dishes were fennel and peanuts. Fresh peanuts were peeled, white and raw, and mixed with crispy minced meat. The fragrance was crispy and the taste was comfortable.
It's refreshing. The bacon and dried tofu are steamed together. The dried tofu is soaked in the gravy and full of the flavor of the bacon. The stir-fried bamboo shoots are fragrant and delicious, and the braised mandarin fish is even more delicious.
Zhang Chi invited Chen Yuting to eat something together. Chen Yuting smiled and said, "I won't eat, so I'll just talk to you."
Tong Jianjun opened a bottle of Qingyunlang, which was a fine wine in his collection. A bottle cost almost 7,000 yuan.
The couple really treated Zhang Chi as a distinguished guest. Zhang Chi rushed to pour the wine and toasted the couple first.
Chen Yuting uses tea instead of wine.
Tong Jianjun said: "I usually drink alone at home, but finally I have someone to drink with me."
Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Uncle Tong cooks really well."
Tong Jianjun said: "It's not that good. I haven't formally learned cooking, but I have been greedy since I was a child. So as long as I have eaten something delicious, I will think about it myself, and over time I will be able to cook it. In fact, no matter what I do in this world
Anything can be accomplished as long as you put your mind to it."
"Uncle Tong is a soldier, right?"
Tong Jianjun said: "I have been down from the front line for a long time. Now I don't teach classes, I just do logistics work. Your aunt always says that I have no ambition."
Chen Yuting sighed and said, "I delayed your Uncle Tong. If it weren't for taking care of me, he wouldn't be like this now."
Tong Jianjun said: "That's good. I haven't had any ambitions since I was a child."
Zhang Chi remembered the main purpose of coming today: "Uncle Chen, do you know where Mr. Qin went?"
"I was hospitalized. I haven't been feeling well these past few days, so I went to the hospital to recuperate."
"Which hospital?"
"I don't know about that. The old man usually lives in seclusion and refuses to talk about anything."
It can also be judged from his words that there should not be much movement between him and Mr. Qin. Zhang Chi and Tong Jianjun finished their meal quickly, and Tong Jianjun got up to clean up.
Chen Yuting waited for him to go to the kitchen and said to Zhang Chi: "Zhang Chi, have you contacted Jiujiu recently?"
Zhang Chi shook his head and said honestly: "I haven't seen you for a while. She recently went to the south to shoot a movie and was very busy."
Chen Yuting nodded, her expression looking a little disappointed.
"Zhang Chi, please don't tell her about your visit to our house. I'm worried that she will make trouble with you."
Zhang Chi laughed, even if Chen Yuting didn't say it, he understood in his heart.
"Auntie, don't worry."
Chen Yuting said: "Zhang Chi, there is something that I probably shouldn't ask, but I can't help it. Are you and Jiujiu in love?"
"No, Auntie, we are just friends."
Chen Yuting's eye circles were a little red, and there were faint tears.
Zhang Chi was a little panicked. Are you so disappointed because I didn't fall in love with your daughter? Zhang Chi said: "Auntie, Jiujiu is now emerging. She will definitely have a bright future in the film and television industry. She can't fall in love so early, otherwise her career will be better."
It’s ruined.”
"What kind of career does a girl want? I don't want her to enter the entertainment industry. It's a waste of life. I just want her to be like other girls, find a boyfriend, fall in love, get married and have children..." Chen Yuting said
There was actually sobbing here.
Zhang Daxian didn't expect that she would start crying right now. She was sitting there neither staying nor walking, which was very embarrassing.
Chen Yuting wiped away her tears: "I'm sorry for making you laugh."
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "No, that's because you love her. If I had a mother who loved me so much, I don't know how happy I would be." Suddenly he thought of Huang Chunxiao.
Chen Yuting said: "You kid is quite good at comforting people. I used to think you were in love with Jiujiu. It seems like the little guy is talking nonsense."
Zhang Chi estimated that the little guy she was talking about was Xiao Chunan, who had always regarded him as his brother-in-law.
Zhang Chi said: "Auntie, I want to visit Qin's home again."
Chen Yuting said: "Okay, Zhang Chi, I have something to ask you for help. Can you help me persuade Jiujiu not to be an actress? In fact, her father's wish is not to make her a big star at all, just casually
Tell me, if her father is aware of it, he doesn’t want to see her put so much pressure on him."
Zhang Chi nodded: "Okay, Auntie, I will definitely persuade her when I see her." He also left the ginseng he brought for Mr. Qin to Chen Yuting, so she couldn't eat her meal in vain.
Tong Jianjun sent Zhang Chi out and accompanied him to the door of Qin's hometown. There was still no one there. Tong Jianjun said: "Zhang Chi, your Aunt Chen doesn't usually interact with outsiders. I'm sorry today."
"Uncle Tong, from what you said, you and Aunt Chen are very nice people."
Tong Jianjun sighed and said: "Zhang Chi, Aunt Chen and I have known each other since we were children. Later, she married Jiujiu's father because of family pressure. Their relationship has not been good since they got married, and then something like that happened.
, Jiujiu always believed in her heart that it was your Aunt Chen who killed her father. Later, when we got married, if Aunt Chen was like this, if I didn’t take care of her, who would? Moreover, if I didn’t marry her, I wouldn’t be able to do it justifiably.
Take care of her."
Zhang Chi really didn't want to inquire about other people's family affairs. It was difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, and he, an outsider, couldn't judge.
Tong Jianjun said: "Originally I shouldn't have told you this, but when I saw the mother and daughter making such a fuss, I felt uncomfortable and relaxed. This is the first time in my life that I got married."
Zhang Chi looked at Tong Jianjun in surprise, not expecting that he was actually a lover, so he had been waiting for Chen Yuting.
Tong Jianjun said: "I'm not a lover, I just like her. I will wait until she gets married. The two of us are worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth. I will live for her all my life. I don't care what others say, but I can't care.
How she feels, I know her biggest wish is to reconcile with Jiujiu, Zhang Chi, if possible, you can help the two of them."
Zhang Chi said: "Uncle Tong, I'll do my best. Jiujiu and I are really not what you think."
Tong Jianjun said: "Actually, Jiujiu is quite pitiful." He patted Zhang Chi's shoulder.
Zhang Daxian's heart suddenly became heavy. After bidding farewell to Tong Jianjun, he walked back alone. He suddenly understood why Xiao Jiujiu was determined to get involved in the entertainment industry. She was obviously not a girl who valued fame and fortune, but she had to shout
It turns out there is a reason behind the slogan I want to be famous.
When he was approaching the subway station, Qin Luzhu called him back. He heard that Zhang Chi was near their home and asked Zhang Chi to wait there. Not long after, Qin Luzhu drove over in a big black G. Zhang Chi
I recognized this car as belonging to Qin Junqing.
After opening the passenger door and getting in the car, Qin Luzhu looked at him and said, "I thought you would never visit our house again."
Zhang Chi said: "I haven't been busy with the music festival recently. Let's talk about business. How is my master?"
Qin Luzhu said: "Nothing's wrong, he's just in a bad mood. I escorted him to the nursing home for a physical examination. Come on, I'll take you to see him."
"Teacher Qin, stop at the fruit shop in front of you. I'll buy a fruit basket."
"Don't do that face-saving project. I'll be happier that you're gone than anything else."
"He won't whip me again today?"
Qin Luzhu suppressed a smile: "That's not certain. He has been angry recently. If the master causes trouble, of course the apprentice must be held responsible."
Zhang Chi smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I'll try my best to get him beaten to make him happy."
Qin Luzhu took him to a sanatorium, where Mr. Qin was ranked. It was also a private hospital. Zhang Chi and Qin Luzhu walked in and saw Mr. Qin sitting in the living room reading a book.
Zhang Chixin said that the old man could really pretend. With his level, how could he not notice someone coming in? He was probably really angry with himself. He didn't bring anything with him, so he knelt down with a plop. There was a carpet in the room, and he knelt down.
It's quite comfortable up there.
Mr. Qin was stunned: "Why are you kneeling if you are young and unfaithful? Am I dead?"
Qin Luzhu kicked him on the butt: "Get up quickly."
Zhang Chi stood up happily and said, "Isn't this respectful? Teacher Qin told me on the way that you always want to beat people up. I thought about it and didn't buy anything, so I was going to let you beat me up, so I thought I would give you a gift."
"
A smile finally appeared on Mr. Qin's face: "What? Do you still remember me? Luzhu, find me a wooden stick."
"Hey!" Qin Luzhu agreed happily, but didn't move his feet. Of course he knew that grandpa didn't really want to beat him.
Mr. Qin said: "Sit down!"
Zhang Chi went to sit on the sofa opposite.
Mr. Qin waved and said: "Come and sit next to me!"
Zhang Chi moved a chair and sat down next to the old man: "Master, how are you doing?"
"I don't know how good it is. If I were so angry with you, you would succeed."
Zhang Chi said deliberately: "It's Lao Xie who offended you, it has nothing to do with me."
Mr. Qin sighed and said, "Don't mention him, it will affect your mood."
Qin Luzhu said: "You two are chatting while I boil water to make tea for you."
Mr. Qin said: "Okay, let's make some side dishes, open a bottle of wine, and let us drink two cups."
Qin Luzhu said: "Old man, what time is it and you still want to drink?"
Zhang Chi said: "I won't drink anymore. I won't drink anymore today. I have to go back to school later. I have to go to class tomorrow morning."
"Don't go back today. I have a place to live here. You go back with Lu Zhu tomorrow. She has a car and won't be late for your class."
Zhang Chi looked at Qin Luzhu, and Qin Luzhu nodded to him. Finally, he saw the old man smiling. He couldn't ruin his mood anymore, so he agreed.
There were no side dishes in the sanatorium, so Qin Luzhu found two bags of spiced peanuts, and dug out a few ham sausages and a few bags of dried tea.
Mr. Qin took out a bottle of Maotai. Qin Luzhu didn't even know when the old man had smuggled the wine out.
