Li Shiya didn't say anything. She turned back to the dining table and began to clean the table. Jiang Cheng changed his shoes and walked into the living room. Seeing his parents' serious faces, he suddenly blushed and said embarrassedly, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to take a shower first!"
Jiang Zhiguo's face became serious and he shouted, "Sit down!"
Jiang Cheng was not afraid of anything except his parents' words. Jiang Zhiguo's shout directly scared Jiang Cheng to the ground. He carefully pulled a stool at the end of the dining table and sat down. Because he was afraid that his father would beat him, he just sat down a little bit out of habit. In this way, once Jiang Zhiguo made a move, he could quickly drive away from the dangerous area. After all, the history of being spanked by his father with a cane when he was a child was still vivid in his mind.
Seeing his son sitting down, Jiang Zhiguo patted the table and said, "Do you still regard this as a home? How many days have you not been back? We haven't seen you for a week. Do you still care about your parents? Will you come home to see us when we die in this house one day? "
"No, Dad, you misunderstood. I've been very busy recently …"
Do you think we're blind? We don't know what you're doing outside all day. Every night, you're in a drunken stupor. You're either at one end of the city or the other end of the city. You're away from home every day. Do you have a son like you? If you don't come back today, are you going to send Shiya to the provincial capital tomorrow? "Jiang Zhiguo questioned his son with a face full of anger.
"Yes, yes, I will. Why won't I? Shiya, you have a flight tomorrow. Let me drive you there." Jiang Cheng hurriedly got up and walked to the door of the kitchen and shouted.
Li Shiya, who was washing the dishes, turned her head to look at the living room and then at Jiang Cheng standing at the door. She replied, "It's 11 o 'clock in the morning. If you are busy, you don't have to go. It doesn't matter anyway!"
When she said this, Li Shiya could hear her heart bleeding. Her husband was taken away by another woman. How could she not be angry? How could she be so generous? However, things did not go as she wished. Jiang Cheng's mind was not all on her. At least half of his heart was taken away by that woman. The other half was divided among them.
Li Shiya was born in a family of scholars. She had been exposed to conservative ideas since she was a child. She wanted to be faithful to her husband and raise her children. The return of Jiang Cheng was originally a good thing. However, since he got in touch with that woman, Li Shiya increasingly found that her position was shaken. Until today, she was on the same level as that woman.
How could Jiang Cheng not see the bitterness in Li Shiya's eyes? He said with a smile, "How can I let you go alone? Don't worry. I will drive you there tomorrow morning. Are you ready?"
Li Shiya nodded and said, "It's ready. It's in the car downstairs."
Jiang Cheng waved his hand and said, "Well, you can drive your car there tomorrow morning. I will drive it back for you when I come back. I will leave the car at your house."
"You don't need to leave it at my house. You can drive it yourself. My parents don't know how to drive, so they leave it at home. The car is easy to break if it is left for a long time. You can drive it. Anyway, your car is gone." Li Shiya stopped Jiang Cheng and said.
Jiang Cheng's face changed. He quickly walked into the kitchen and came to Li Shiya's side. He whispered in her ear, "How do you know that my car is gone?"
Li Shiya rolled her eyes at Jiang Cheng and said, "I have my own channels, okay? You're crazy outside all day long. At the very least, as your girlfriend, I have to know what you're doing outside. I have to know if you've killed someone or been kidnapped. I don't want to become a widow all of a sudden."
Li Shiya's tone didn't hide her emotions. Jiang Cheng also knew that she was worried about his safety. It seemed that she heard from Wang Xue that he was hit by a car bomb.
Jiang Cheng took Li Shiya's hand and said, "You can't tell my parents. They are not in good health. I'm afraid that they can't stand it when they hear this!"
Li Shiya nodded. "Don't worry. I will hide it from your parents, but you can't always be away from home. When I came today, Mom helped me into the elevator. The groceries I bought were leftovers from the market. If you have time, come back and visit more often. Go home every day and buy some fresh fruits for the elderly. Mom and Dad are old. Their hands and feet are not nimble, especially Dad. The weather is so humid recently. His rheumatoid arthritis is always acting up. I feel distressed when I see it."
Li Shiya was a doctor. She knew that when Jiang Zhiguo was young, he often soaked in the water in the countryside. In the end, he suffered from rheumatoid arthritis. When it was rainy and humid, it hurt badly. For this reason, she often brought plasters for the old man, but this disease was basically incurable. He could only endure it.
Jiang Cheng nodded. He realized that he seemed to have done a poor job of caring for his parents. He was not even as good as a daughter-in-law. He was busy outside all day long. He didn't call home to ask about the situation and ask if his parents were in good health. Jiang Cheng felt that he was a failure as a son.
"Don't worry. I will come back when I have time. Recently, there are a lot of things in the group. I am a little busy. I can't handle it. It will be fine after a while!"
Li Shiya didn't know that Mino had gone abroad for treatment. She thought that Jiang Cheng had been too busy with work recently, so she didn't think too much about it. She turned around and continued to wash the dishes.
Seeing that Li Shiya didn't speak, Jiang Cheng had to go back to the living room again. He sat at the dining table. Now he didn't have to worry about his father beating him with a cane. As long as his father got angry, there would be nothing to worry about.
Sure enough, when Jiang Zhiguo saw his son sitting down, he relaxed a little. He said, "Son, Shiya is going abroad for further study tomorrow. Your mother and I have thought about it. Anyway, you are a busy man and have no time to take care of us. So, your mother and I are going to travel in two days. The south is getting hotter and hotter. We old people are really bored sitting at home, so we plan to go out and broaden our horizons."
Jiang Cheng's eyebrows instantly relaxed and he said, "Okay, tell me, where do you want to travel? I will book a plane ticket for you and prepare foreign exchange for you."
Jiang Zhiguo waved his hand and said, "Forget about foreign exchange. We are two country bumpkins. Without Shiya, how dare we go abroad? People can't understand our words. Let's just play in China. You don't have to worry about the plane ticket. Anyway, your mother and I have money in our hands. The money in your salary card is enough for us to spend. You can rest assured and do a good job."
"Either get married quickly, or talk to Shiya tonight. When she comes back, you two can go to get your marriage certificate!" Jiang Zhiguo said the last two sentences to Jiang Cheng in a low voice. Li Shiya, who was washing the dishes in the kitchen, didn't hear it.
Jiang Zhiguo and his wife were also entangled by their son's matter. Their son was with several women outside at the same time, and even had sex with them. If this happened in ancient times, Jiang Zhiguo would have laughed his teeth out.
But this was modern times. The country implemented monogamy. Their son had so many women outside. It was obvious that he couldn't bring them all home. He could only choose one. But no matter which one he chose, he would hurt the hearts of the others.
In fact, Jiang Zhiguo and Hu Xiulan still liked Li Shiya. After all, she was a girl who had been with them for a long time. She was gentle and virtuous. She was the most suitable daughter-in-law. However, their son seemed to be a little difficult to choose between Li Shiya and Boss Mi. So, even Jiang Zhiguo, who was experienced and knowledgeable, began to be in a dilemma. Which one should his son marry?
Jiang Zhiguo felt that all of them were good. He could marry any one of them. But none of them were suitable. If he married this one, what about the others? This was a difficult problem.
Jiang Zhiguo certainly didn't have the mood to think about such a complicated problem. He could only leave the problem of love to his son to solve. The two elders could only stand by and consult and give some ideas.
Jiang Cheng nodded with an embarrassed look. He didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing. He could only go on step by step.
Seeing his son's face was in a dilemma, Jiang Zhiguo whispered to him, "If it's possible, you'd better go to get the marriage certificate with Shiya. I think Shiya is very good. She is gentle, virtuous, considerate and filial. In the future, when you have your own children, we can still take care of them. What a good thing it is!"
Black lines appeared on Jiang Cheng's forehead. This father of his was really outrageous. As he spoke, he brought the topic back to the child. He was thinking about his grandson so much that he was about to get sick.
However, Jiang Cheng could also understand. His parents had worked hard all their lives. When they were old, their son was a little promising. His living standard was improved, he had a house, a car, and a successful career. It was time to get married and have a child to carry on the family line. Whether it was a boy or a girl, the old man and the old lady would be happy to see it.
But was that really the life he wanted? Jiang Cheng couldn't help asking himself.
No, that's not it. He lived in the forest, on the battlefield filled with smoke. Ever since he returned to the city, Jiang Cheng couldn't forget the faces of his fallen comrades. There wasn't a moment when he didn't want to throw himself into the army.
However, the shackles of reality and the concern of his family made him have to stay in this city and lose his direction. Sometimes, Jiang Cheng even felt that he was a walking corpse.
Without the sound of cannons, gunshots, loud military songs, and the horn to wake up, all of these made Jiang Cheng begin to feel uncomfortable.
