Zheng Duoduo realized the "seriousness" of the problem and called Chen Xinzhi's mobile phone on his way back that night.
Chen Xinzhi said that he was still working overtime at the company and asked him if there was something wrong.
Zheng Duoduo asked with a sullen face: "You still work overtime so late?
Where to sleep at night?
Over there in the courtyard?
Or a company?”
Chen Xinzhi is such a smart person, he immediately guessed the reason why his tone was wrong.
"Sleep over there in the new apartment.
how?
Did the third child tell you?"
Zheng Duoduo said helplessly: "Hey!"
With a cry, he reproached: "You said you are such a calm person normally, but how come your head gets hot and your thoughts follow impulses, and you don't care about anything as long as Xiaoxin's matter comes up?
ah?"
Chen Xinzhi coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed secretly.
“The environment in the school dormitory was too complicated and noisy, and the heating system was unstable, so she felt uncomfortable living there.
I bought her a new apartment near the school and went to stay with her after get off work in the evening."
"Brother!"
Zheng Duoduo smiled bitterly: "This is not a small problem, okay?
Why are you so confused?
You would rest in Xinyuan from time to time, and occasionally sneak into Xiaoxin's room. Everyone could turn a blind eye and pretend not to know.
But you are wrong to do this, you are challenging the bottom line of Sister Ling and Brother Ayuan!"
Chen Xinzhi said softly: "Isn't that true?
It’s only a matter of time before Xiaoxin and I get married—” “But you’re not married yet!”
Zheng Duoduo said excitedly: "The key is that Xiaoxin is still too young, and she is a girl, do you understand?
!Xue Yang is a boy, and he has graduated and is starting a business! This time, he got on the bus first and then paid for the fare as an unmarried person. Sister Ling didn't blame him much for the sake of her new daughter-in-law, but that was to give Xiaoxiao face.
When the news first broke, Sister Ling didn't spare him any mercy at all and secretly chopped him off several times! Brother Ayuan was also very angry, but anger was anger. They had to temporarily assume the responsibility of elders and propose marriage quickly.
Everything went smoothly.
But your situation is completely different! Xiaoxin is a girl, and she is still in her first year of college, and she is still thousands of miles away from graduation! Now you are dragging others to live together outside the school! You are not asking for it
Fight?
!”
After Chen Xinzhi listened, he thought calmly.
"How about I take the initiative to confess to my wife and husband later and explain to them."
Zheng Duoduo immediately objected: "Farewell! You should let Xiaoxin go back to school and cover it up."
Even if you know some things, it is still difficult to talk about them, otherwise it will be very embarrassing.
According to Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan's temperament, they would not like to discuss such topics with their future son-in-law.
Chen Xinzhi paused his hand on the document and whispered: "She is not comfortable living in the dormitory, why do you want her to move back?
Am I the kind of person who fishes in troubled waters?
They are my elders and Xiaoxin's parents, not people in the business world. I should respect them and face them openly.
One is one, two is two.
Covering it up in a vague way makes it appear that I am guilty——" "Can you still feel guilty?"
!”
Zheng Duoduo excitedly interrupted him and loudly said: "This little girl is as old as a flower, so you picked her off! But you and she are neither engaged nor married, so you have the nerve to drag her along like this.
Living together off campus?
!Although Sister Ling and Brother Ayuan are open-minded, their ideas are still very traditional. They are a full generation older than us.
Do you know?
!”
Although the relationship between the two has been approved by both parents, Xiaoxin is too young after all and has not graduated yet. He quietly dragged the woman to live together like this - no matter how enlightened the woman's parents are, they will still find it inappropriate.
.
Chen Xinzhi on the other end of the phone coughed uneasily and lowered his voice: "This matter... is indeed my negligence."
Zheng Duoduo was still a little angry and hummed tauntingly: "It's better for you, kid, to enjoy the gentle countryside.
Have you ever thought about Xiaoxin?
Now that society is more open, schools and teaching environments will still be more conservative.
There are students everywhere near the school. If Xiaoxin gets bad words, it will damage her reputation.
She is a girl after all, you have to think about her and don't just think about pampering her.
Sometimes it is not a good thing to pamper her and protect her too much.
For Sister Ling and Brother Ayuan, they prefer their children to grow up in a normal environment, instead of being pampered like you."
"Um."
Chen Xinzhi understood and whispered: "You are right.
This is something I did not do properly and lack of consideration."
Zheng Duoduo knew that he was an arrogant person, and it was very difficult for him to quickly admit his mistakes, so he did not seize his mistakes and punish him severely.
"Then what are your plans?
Don't think about how to explain it frankly, and don't think about continuing to sneak around until Sister Ling and the others find out."
Chen Xinzhi quickly calmed down and said, "It's the end of the semester now, and Xiaoxin has been reviewing for exams these days.
In the apartment, hourly workers are responsible for three meals a day, and workers from the housekeeping company are also responsible for hygiene.
I won't go over to accompany her at night so as not to disturb her study.
After the exam, she could go back to live in Xinyuan during the holiday, and she no longer had to worry about heating.
It's already spring when school starts next year. The school's heating system should be upgraded and repaired, and she can still go back to the dormitory by then.
As for the apartment here...since I bought it, I will keep it for now.
If the dormitory is too noisy, she can come and stay at any time.
The security system here is very good. If you swipe your card to enter the house, I don’t have to worry about her living here.”
"Uh-huh."
After hearing this, Zheng Duoduo expressed satisfaction: "Okay, let's arrange it this way.
If Sister Ling and Brother Ayuan ask, they will say that Xiaoxin thinks the dormitory environment is too noisy and affects her review exams, so she will move back after staying here for a while."
"good."
Chen Xinzhi said warmly: "Thank you for reminding me."
Zheng Duoduo chuckled: "We are all brothers, why are you so polite!"
Chen Xinzhi leaned back on the office chair, smiled and asked: "What about you?
When do you plan to get married?
I happened to pass by the mall at noon the day before yesterday and had lunch with my mother.
Mom asked me to help urge you, saying that she was waiting to take care of her grandson.
I hope we can stagger our arrival so that she won’t be too busy by then.”
Zheng Duoduo laughed and soon changed to a sad expression.
"She always said that she still wanted to study further and was not in a hurry to get married.
I am waiting for her to fail the postgraduate entrance examination next year, and then take advantage of her sadness to drag her to the Civil Affairs Bureau, so that our mother can have a grandson by the end of next year."
Chen Xinzhi said "Hmm" and said: "Come on."
Zheng Duoduo smiled bitterly and muttered: "Others always envy us brothers for being able to eat young grass when we are old, but who can understand how painful and frustrating it is to wait for the young grass to grow up! How miserable!"
Chen Xinzhi teased: "You can wait a few more months at most, but I can wait several years.
This comparison should make you feel better."
"Forget it, stop competing."
Zheng Duoduo snickered: "It can be compared with anything, but the worst is to compare!"
