When the old lady heard that he didn't want it, her face changed immediately: "Too little?"
Immortal Zhang noticed that the old lady had a bit of a weird temper, and quickly said with a smile: "It's quite a lot. I'm just being polite to you. If you really take it back, I'll be disappointed."
The old lady laughed and found this boy quite interesting.
The food for the people of Qi is almost ready and they are ready to eat.
Zhang Chi noticed that the two people who picked him up at the station didn't come, so he asked.
Qi Minmin said: "They are all from this village, and they have gone home to eat." After he became rich, he did not forget the people in the village, and took the villagers on the road to wealth together. Many young people in the village followed him.
Working under his subordinates, the people of Qi have extraordinary prestige in Qijia Village.
The old lady scolded her daughter-in-law while eating. Qi Guomin and his daughter were used to it. Anyway, it was the old lady who said hers and they ate theirs and turned a deaf ear.
The old lady soon lost interest and turned to Zhang Chi, the newcomer, to educate him about all the bad things about her daughter-in-law. Zhang Daxian had no choice but to listen patiently. The old lady was very happy when she talked, and Zhang Daxian couldn't laugh or cry.
Finally, the meal was finished, and the old lady was not satisfied yet. Fortunately, Qi Bing came to Zhang Chi's rescue and said that he would take him around, so the old lady let Zhang Chi go.
After leaving the courtyard, Zhang Chi breathed a long sigh of relief, and Qi Bing chuckled: "Is your head big?"
Zhang Chi nodded: "Really, if you touch it, it's big."
Qi Bing reached out and touched his head.
"Touched in the wrong place."
Qi Bing flicked him on the forehead: "If my father hears it, he will have to chop you."
"Then you must not fight with him."
Qi Bing twisted his arm. This shy guy pointed to the mountain path in front of him. The two of them walked over, leaning against each other. After a short distance, they reached the end, and a platform appeared among the trees.
, standing on the platform overlooking the mountain scenery, Zhang Chi sat down on a big rock, pulled Qi Bing and let her sit on his lap, Qi Bing said: "My grandma likes to chatter when she is old, don't go there
Take it to heart."
Zhang Chi said: "I don't know. Is it just that she has such great resentment towards your mother?"
Qi Bing smiled and said: "It was fine in the past. In the past two years, I have become a bit old and confused. I always say bad things about my mother when I meet everyone. My mother came several times and always ended up unhappy, so she stopped coming recently to save time.
Get scolded.”
Zhang Chi said: "People are always like this. Scolding you proves that she wants to remember you. If one day she can't remember you, she will stop scolding you." There is another sentence left unsaid. When she stops scolding, she will leave.
This world is not far away either. As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, his words are also good.
Qi Bing nodded, got off Zhang Chi, and asked Zhang Chi: "What's wrong?"
Qi Bing took out a tissue and put it on the stone, sat next to him, and said with a smile: "I'm so scared."
Immortal Zhang said with a wicked smile: "Wouldn't it be nice to just put it in?"
Qi Bing bit him on the shoulder and cursed: "Shameless."
Zhang Chi said: "This small mountain village is quite nice. Everywhere is antique."
"They are all being rebuilt, except my house. They all care about face, and compete with each other for fear of losing. In the past, our house was the most magnificent house in the village, but now it is the most shabby. In fact, my dad also wants to rebuild it.
My grandma doesn’t want to.”
"Your father is very filial."
"That is, my grandma gave birth to four sons and three daughters. He is the one who comes here the most frequently. Now he basically lives in the city. My dad wanted to take the old lady back to live with him early in the morning, but she just didn't want to. She would rather
I stay here alone, and my brothers and sisters come over one day a week, so I have someone to accompany me every day.”
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "Why not just one person for a month?"
"Grandma won't let me, even for a week. She said she's already that old and will leave at some point, so she asks them to change them every day so that she can see her children more often."
The two were chatting when a rustling sound came from behind. They turned around and saw a man in his forties coming down the mountain with a basket on his back. Qi Bing quickly stood up and greeted: "Uncle Fugui!" From the mountain
The one who came down was the old lady's godson Liu Fugui, one of the few in Qijia Village who didn't have the surname Qi.
Liu Fugui smiled and said: "Xiao Bing! When did you come back?"
Qi Bing said this and introduced Zhang Chi to Liu Fugui. Zhang Chi took the initiative to extend his hand to Liu Fugui, and Liu Fugui wiped his calloused hands behind his back before shaking hands with Zhang Chi. His big hands were rough and strong.
He picked a lot of mushrooms and gave a pack to Qi Bing, asking her to take it back to the old lady.
Zhang Chi had cigarettes on his body and gave a pack directly to Liu Fugui. Liu Fugui was not polite to them, collected the cigarettes, said goodbye to them, and reminded them that it was going to rain and to go back quickly.
Zhang Chi and Qi Bing didn't stay either. When they returned to the Qi family's old house, it started to rain. The old lady was sitting on the recliner and had fallen asleep. Qi Guomin was cutting her toenails. When he saw Zhang Chi coming back, he waved to Zhang Chi.
, the two of them set up the deck chair into the house together.
After going out, I saw heavy rain and water splashing everywhere in the yard.
Qi Guomin lit a pipe and said, "How many days do you plan to stay here?"
"A week or so. The restaurant over there is about to open, so I have to go back in advance to prepare."
Qi Guomin heard his daughter talk about Zhang Chi's opening of a branch. He admired young people's entrepreneurship. Thinking of Zhang Chi's previous new store being smashed, he took a breath and said, "I returned Chen Junmin's money. You
If you need money, just tell me."
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "The perpetrator has already compensated me. After all the losses, there is still a surplus. I can't wait to have someone smash it again."
Qi Guomin smiled: "When I return to Yunzhong tomorrow, Xiaobing's mother has long wanted to see you."
Zhang Chi said: "Uncle Qi, I feel a little unsure."
"You haven't done anything wrong. What's wrong with you?"
Zhang Chi smiled and said, "I'm just nervous."
"Why weren't you nervous when you saw me? Were you frightened by the old lady? There's no need. My mother means what she says, Huizhen... If Xiaobing's mother really came, she wouldn't scold you, and what's more, your Aunt Xue
He has a good temper and is very easy to get along with.”
Qi Bing ran over with an umbrella and stood beside his father: "Dad, it's raining so hard. I originally wanted to take Zhang Chi around."
Qi Guomin said: "The scenery in this area is good. There is a hanging temple that combines Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism."
The more famous tourist attractions are, the less interesting they are. It is summer now, so even if the weather is nice, you can only go there to see the crowds.
While they were chatting, Qi Guomin's phone rang. After he answered the call, his expression became a little depressed. He smiled bitterly at Zhang Chi and Qi Bing, shook his head and said, "Something happened, I have to go back."
Qi Bing said: "Dad, what's the emergency? It's raining so hard and you have to rush back?"
Qi Guomin said: "You should know Ye Jintang's son Ye Huacheng. He was beaten."
When Zhang Chi heard that it was Ye Huacheng, he was also a little puzzled. How did Ye Huacheng get here? Qi Guomin explained that it turned out that Ye Jintang asked him to come here to do an expansion project in the eastern area of the Western Film and Television City because this kid was uneducated and incompetent.
The project is the Silk Road Town invested by Ye Jintang. Ye Jintang himself is the major shareholder of the movie theater. He only invested in this town to make movies. He also specially greeted Qi Guomin and asked Qi Guomin to help take care of it. Ye Huacheng came for a while
It had been a while, and it had been calm. Unexpectedly, I was suddenly beaten.
Qi Guomin seldom contacted Ye Huacheng, that is, he invited him to a meal when he first came here, but since he promised Ye Jintang to help take care of him, he couldn't just sit back and watch when someone was beating him on his own territory.
When Zhang Chi heard that his brother was being beaten, he couldn't pretend not to know, so he discussed it with Qi Guomin and decided to go with him.
Qi Guomin told his mother and asked Tieniu to drive back to Yunzhong in the heavy rain. Qi Bing went home first without going to the hospital. Qi Guomin went to the hospital with Zhang Chi.
Ye Huacheng was beaten badly. Although it was a flesh wound, his head was swollen like a pig's head.
Zhang Chi almost didn't recognize him unless he looked at the bedside card. When he saw him, he was lying in the emergency room and screaming. There was a goblin with heavy makeup sitting next to him.
Several people in charge of the Western Film and Television City accompanied them. Qi Guomin first asked about the situation and let them go out. When he saw the little goblin still sitting next to him, looking at Ye Huacheng with concern, he frowned and said, "You
Get out too."
The little goblin glared at Qi Guomin. Only then did Ye Huacheng realize that Qi Guomin had arrived, and Zhang Chi also appeared in front of him. Ye Huacheng quickly waved his hand to signal the woman to go out.
Zhang Chi placed the fruit basket he just bought on the bedside table.
Qi Guomin said: "Do you know who can beat you?"
Ye Huacheng shook his head.
Qi Guomin said: "Why don't you pay wages to the workers?"
Ye Huacheng said: "I don't know. The accountant is responsible for it. Even if it's three days late, it's not like we won't pay. These workers are so unreasonable."
Qi Guomin said: "I can help you find the person, but you have to pay the salary. Do you want me to tell your father?"
Ye Huacheng hurriedly said: "No, please don't!"
Qi Guomin secretly sighed that this boy had no future. Everything had been clarified. The engineering company had owed workers wages and used the same tactics as before to deal with the workers here. This boy didn't know the bloody nature of the local people. To say that this Ye Huacheng was really unconscious.
Xin, after arriving, I didn’t do any serious work. I just spent the whole day drinking and drinking, hooking up with young girls in the local area. I guess the arrears of wages are just an excuse to prevent people from seeking revenge.
Qi Guomin left first, and Zhang Chi stayed for a while.
Ye Huacheng felt a little embarrassed to see him, with his head hanging down and a sad face. Ever since the accident in the capital, he had been severely punished by the old man. This time he came to the Western Cinema to be sent to the army, because with the lessons learned from the capital, he
He also restrained himself for a while, and was very careful in normal times. His father was also worried about his safety, so he specially assigned him two assistants, who were, to put it bluntly, bodyguards.
But bodyguards cannot protect themselves 24 hours a day. This time, Ye Huacheng was in trouble again. He was beaten by a group of workers. They said he was in arrears with wages, but he was only three days late and was beaten like a pig's head. And
He was wronged in this matter, and he usually didn't ask about specific matters.
The little goblin who went out just now came back again. Seeing her heavy makeup, Zhang Chi secretly sighed that Ye Huacheng's taste was getting worse and worse. He sighed and said, "Your girlfriend?"
Ye Huacheng also felt embarrassed. It was a bit embarrassing to take this girl out like a pheasant. He signaled that she could leave, picked up the smashed mobile phone and transferred two thousand yuan to the girl.
Zhang Chi watched the operation of this product and sighed: "The prices here are quite high!"
Ye Huacheng said: "It's because of my benevolence and righteousness. People talk to me about feelings, not about my money." They have become so virtuous, and they still don't forget to brag.
Zhang Chi said: "Are you really not ready to let your godfather know?"
"If you tell him, I'm in a hurry with you!"
Zhang Chi said: "Okay, I won't tell you, do you want me to help you vent your anger?"
Ye Huacheng shook his head and said: "Forget it, I will be discharged from the hospital right away. There are no serious injuries anyway. Do you think I am guilty of being too old this year? Unlucky things happen one after another."
Zhang Chi wanted to persuade Ye Huacheng, but he remembered that this guy suffered a big loss last time in the capital, and now he still has no memory, so it was useless even if he tried to persuade him. He patted Ye Huacheng on the shoulder and said, "Take care of yourself, I have to go."
Already."
Ye Huacheng said: "Brother, I suspect that Lao Qi asked someone to mess with me."
Zhang Chi is really speechless. This guy is really smart. Do the people of Qi have to argue with him?
Ye Huacheng said smartly: "It was like that last time. Lao Zong didn't want me to stay in Jincheng, so he set a trap to kick me away. This time, I must have been an eyesore to him, so he used the arrears of wages to get me.
Those workers were all introduced by him."
Zhang Chi said: "Brother, don't think too much, Lao Qi's business center is not this film and television city at all."
"He is your future father-in-law, so of course you should support him. He is not a good person. Who doesn't know that he has fun and has many wives?"
Immortal Zhang felt a little unhappy when he heard this. Even if Lao Qi was really hiding in the golden house outside, Ye Huacheng would not give him face if he said it in front of him. Zhang Chi said: "Okay, let's not talk about this, I have to leave quickly.
I agreed to go to his house for dinner."
Ye Huacheng said: "Go ahead, I'll take some time in the next two days to catch you up."
"You'd better recuperate first."
Zhang Chi came outside and saw Tieniu still waiting in the parking lot. Zhang Chi got in the car and Tieniu sent him to Qi's house. On the way, Zhang Chi asked about Ye Huacheng.
Tieniu said with disdain: "That playboy spends all day drinking and drinking, and he knows how to harm little girls. Not to mention the workers beating him, I want to beat him. If it weren't for Master's protection, I don't know how many times he would have been beaten."
Zhang Chi also knew that Ye Huacheng was an unpleasant person, so he didn't ask further questions.
I see a lot of newly developed properties around me, and it’s the same across the country now, where construction is basically going on like crazy.
Tieniu drove him to a Western-style villa area, which was also developed by Qi Guomin. Their home was located in the core of the community. It was a single-family villa with an area of more than 1,000 square meters, and the courtyard had six acres of land.
Zhang Chi got out of the car, and Qi Bing had already greeted him from inside. She was wearing a white suspender skirt, which was cool and attractive. She took Zhang Chi's arm and said, "Why did it take so long?"
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "I have to comfort him a few words." He looked at Qi Bing and said: "Wearing so little, you are not afraid of catching cold."
"It's hot, stay at home."
Zhang Chi said: "Put on more wear, I have poor control."
Qi Bing chuckled: "I just want to test you."
The two of them entered the door, and a beautiful middle-aged woman with dignified temperament stood up and came to greet her. She was Qi Bing's mother, Xue Huizhen. Zhang Chi had some ability to understand people. One look at Xue Huizhen's good temperament and she knew that she was knowledgeable and knowledgeable.
He is a cultured person, so he used to wonder how Qi Guomin could give birth to such a beautiful and intelligent daughter like Qi Bing. It turned out that the roots were with her mother.
Zhang Chi greeted politely: "Hello, aunt, I am Zhang Chi!"
Xue Huizhen smiled and said: "You are so relaxed, please sit down quickly."
Zhang Chi sat down and Qi Bing was busy making tea for him.
Xue Huizhen sat elegantly and said to Zhang Chi: "I have seen your photos."
"I'm not very photogenic!"
Xue Huizhen smiled: "The real person is indeed more energetic than the photo."
Qi Bing came over with tea and immediately protested: "Mom, he is obviously very handsome, okay?"
Xue Huizhen said: "Yes, very handsome!"
Zhang Chi said: "Where is Uncle Qi?"
Xue Huizhen said: "Let's discuss business."
Qi Bing sat down next to her mother: "Mom, what should we have for dinner?"
Xue Huizhen smiled and said: "Greedy Cat, I have arranged everything. Mother Qin is preparing in the kitchen, do you want to help?"
Qi Bing nodded, got up and left. Before leaving, he reminded Zhang Chi: "Have a good chat with my mother."
After Qi Bing left, Xue Huizhen said: "Qi Bing has been spoiled by me since she was a child. She doesn't talk big or small."
"She's very nice to me."
Xue Huizhen said: "I see it. In fact, in the relationship between men and women, the active party will always become passive."
Zhang Chi was startled. This mother-in-law had very keen eyesight and said with a smile: "She takes special care of me."
Xue Huizhen sighed softly and said: "That's what I'm worried about. It's too easy to get and you don't know how to cherish it."
Zhang Chi felt that although Xue Huizhen was gentle on the surface, she was a tough person in her heart. On the contrary, she was not as easy to get along with as Qi Guomin. But now that she is here, she has to face it. He smiled and said: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will treat Xiaobing well."
Xue Huizhen said: "Being nice to someone and making someone happy are two different concepts. Can you make Xiaobing happy?"
Zhang Daxian was stopped by Xue Huizhen. There was undoubtedly a rational mother in front of him. Zhang Chi hesitated for a moment. Although he could have lied and blurted out, there was no way to overcome this psychological hurdle. He could guarantee that Qi Bing was very good, but he could not guarantee that
Let Qi Bing be happy.
Xue Huizhen said: "There is a kind of person who pretends to be generous on the surface, but is very stingy on the inside. He pretends to be fearless, but is very cowardly on the inside. He pretends to be happy, but secretly he worries about gains and losses. Zhang Chi, I have investigated you."
Zhang Chi nodded and could understand why she did this. As a mother, it is understandable for her to care about her daughter.
Xue Huizhen said: "I was born in a family of officials, so I used some connections to investigate some of your situations. You are very mysterious."
Zhang Chi didn't speak. It was not a good time to speak at this time.
"I am not a person with a sense of family status, otherwise I would not have chosen to marry Qi Guomin back then. I have no background and connections in today's society. How is it possible to build such a big business from scratch?"
Zhang Chi understood clearly that the reason why Lao Qi was able to achieve such a great career was because there was a master behind him. Now it seems that the master is Xue Huizhen, and Lao Qi relied on her family connections and connections.
"Zhang Chi, I have heard a little bit about the New World School of Management where you are studying. Your future career will be full of risks, right?"
Zhang Chi began to admire Xue Huizhen, proving that it was no accident that the Qi family could develop such a big business.
Xue Huizhen said: "Of course you don't have to think too much. I am telling you this not to object to you and Qi Bing being together. I will not object to you being friends or falling in love, but I am not optimistic about your marriage."
, if you really go to the stage of talking about marriage one day, I will firmly oppose it, do you understand?"
Zhang Daxian felt a little on pins and needles and nodded. He said what he said so frankly. If you don't understand yet, you are pretending to be stupid. Xue Huizhen thought that she could not give Qi Bing happiness, and she did not want Qi Bing to live in fear all day long after marrying him.
middle.
Xue Huizhen smiled and said: "Actually, Xiaobing is a lot like me. She always pretends to be very happy. The dumber a woman is, the easier it is to be happy. But unfortunately, she is a smart child, so she can only pretend to be happy. Let's go.
Just leave. Where did you go and what did you do? She may not believe your explanation, but you have to pretend to believe it. One day she will not be able to bear it. Believe me, love is a matter between two people, but in the end life is still a matter of two people.
She cannot sacrifice her life for you, and there is no reason for you to ask her to make such a sacrifice for you."
Zhang Chi said: "Auntie, I understand."
"I just want you not to make promises lightly, and not to let my daughter have too many illusions. You and she are fundamentally two different types of people, and the career you are engaged in may very well endanger our family interests."
After dinner, Zhang Chi and Qi Bing went for a walk in the nearby park. Qi Bing noticed that Zhang Chi was obviously silent. Guessing what must have happened, Qi Bing whispered: "Did my mother say something to you?"
Zhang Chi said: "Just talk to me about how to make you happy."
Qi Bing smiled and said: "Whether I am happy or not is my own business. What did she talk to you about?"
Zhang Chi said: "Qi Bing, I'm not joking when I tell you that. Please think carefully, are you mentally able to bear that kind of life?"
Qi Bing said: "Psychologically I'm okay, but physically I'm under too much pressure."
Zhang Chi laughed and pinched her nose: "You are so sexy!"
