When Ni Dahai parked his car and entered Mi Xaing 'er's house, Yun Jingting's car happened to enter the alley as well. When he saw Ni Dahai, he was furious and annoyed with him.
But it was true!
His wife had just returned to the city, and this man came knocking on his door. Any man … wouldn't be able to get over it?
To put it bluntly, Yun Laohu didn't dare to delay. She got out of the car and entered the courtyard. She happened to hear Feng Xiuzhu say, "This is your husband, right?"
Husband?
How could this be?
There was only one husband.
She had to take it seriously.
He was as childish as a big boy as he slowly walked out and lifted his chin at Ni Dahai. "Why are you here?"
When Ni Dahai saw him, he felt a little awkward … He knew that this man was the "King of Jealousy". He was usually quite magnanimous, but when it came to his wife, he was a little narrow-minded.
Sure enough …
Yun Jingting pretended to be indifferent. "Ni Dahai, in my memory, it seems that every time we meet, it's because of Mi Xaing 'er. I hope you don't mind what I'm saying. Why do I feel like you're chasing after my wife?"
Feng Xiuzhu understood this time.
She couldn't help but carefully size up Yun Jingting … He was tall and straight, had a cold and arrogant appearance, and exuded an air of aloofness. However, his tone of voice was sour, and his expression was adorable. He was completely like a big boy who had fallen in love.
She couldn't help but purse her lips and smile. She glanced at Mi Xaing 'er … Although she didn't say it explicitly, her meaning was obvious: Your husband is quite "that"!
Mi Xaing 'er had been with her for a long time. She could tell that Yun Jingting was teasing her … She also looked at her husband from a bystander's point of view. Indeed, his jealousy was quite amusing. She didn't dare to laugh and could only keep a straight face. "Yun Jingting, why are you here?"
Yun Laohu acted like a sovereign. "Why? I can't come? "
He was a typical Northeastern man … No matter how much he doted on his wife in private, he only cared about his face outside!
After all, the two of them were husband and wife. How could they not understand each other?
Mi Xaing 'er knew how to behave. She squinted her eyes and smiled. "Look at your temper! This is your home. Why can't you come here? "
Yun Laohu was pleased to hear that. "Xiang 'er, I brought you something!"
Without another word, he took out two bright red marriage certificates from his pocket and waved them in front of Ni Dahai and Feng Xiuzhu before handing them over to Mi Xaing 'er. "Since you're home, these two certificates … you should keep them!"
Huh?
Mi Xaing 'er looked at the two marriage certificates and felt a myriad of emotions … It turned out that Yun Laohu had been keeping them. When she came back, he couldn't wait to hand them over to her.
Although Yun Laohu was facing Mi Xaing 'er, his words were directed at Ni Dahai. "Xiang' er, you have to remember that we're not divorced yet. You're still in a military marriage! What does a military marriage mean? I won't explain it further! "
This …
Ni Dahai felt that there was no place to stand in the courtyard.
Mi Xaing 'er hurriedly smoothed things over … and pushed Feng Xiuzhu to the front. "Big Ni, Tiger, let me introduce you. This is my best friend in Shanghai … Sister Xiuzhu! She's preparing to open a clothing store in our city! "
"Sister Xiuzhu, this is Yun Jingting!" Mi Xaing 'er's face was slightly red. "You know that too, right? He's my husband!"
When the word "husband" came out of her mouth … Yun Laohu's face was so happy that flowers could bloom.
He hurriedly greeted her enthusiastically. "Comrade Little Feng! Hello! I'm Mi Xaing 'er's husband … "
It was as if he was afraid that others didn't know.
Mi Xaing 'er glared at him and continued with the introduction. "Sister Xiuzhu, this is Ni Dahai. He's a capable man. He used to be in the trade and economics business. He's very active and has a lot of connections. If you want to open a store, you'll have to rely on him!"
Ni Dahai hurriedly waved his hand. "I'm not in the trade and economics business anymore! I've been transferred to the Land Bureau! "
He scratched his head embarrassedly. "To put it bluntly, this was all arranged by my father. He felt that … I'm a little too bold in the trade and economics business. He was afraid that I'd make mistakes, so he transferred me to the Land Bureau. Wouldn't it be less troublesome if I didn't have to deal with the land and people?"
Mi Xaing 'er asked curiously, "Then what department are you in charge of?"
"What department? It's just an idle job! The demolition office! You know that the government doesn't have any funds now. How would they have the money to renovate the city? So, there's no demolition project at all! " He waved his hand casually. "The work there is quite simple. Other than reading the newspaper and drinking tea, there's nothing much to do! Whenever I have time, I'll go outside. Anyway, no one cares about me! "
Oh!
Land Bureau?
Demolition office?
This will be a big fat job in the future.
Mi Xaing 'er looked at him and smiled. "This job … your future is guaranteed!"
After a pause, she continued, "Let me guess, you saw Tian Xiner today, right? Was she the one who told you that I live here? "
"You're smart! Not bad! She was the one who gave me the address! " Ni Dahai was tactful and didn't dare to bring it into the house. He pointed at the door and said, "Well … I'm here to pick you up for dinner. Tian Xiner, Brother Tong, and Sun Wukong are all at my restaurant!"
"You opened a restaurant?"
"Yeah! You can say that! Old Sun is the head chef. His family is an imperial chef. If his restaurant isn't popular, it's simply unreasonable! "
To be honest … Mi Xaing 'er really wanted to go.
She didn't have much to do at home. Going out to meet friends she hadn't seen in a long time, drinking and chatting. It could be considered a joyous occasion.
Even so …
She still wanted to respect Yun Jingting's opinion, so she didn't agree first. Instead, she glanced at him quickly.
With just one glance, Yun Laohu felt very comfortable and volunteered to be their chauffeur. "Ahem, I'll send you there then!"
Mi Xaing 'er smiled and turned to Feng Xiuzhu. "Sister Xiuzhu, why don't … you go too?"
Feng Xiuzhu quickly waved her hand. "You know me! It's a headache when there are too many people! Besides, I still have some work to do. You can go by yourself! "
Mi Xaing 'er knew that she was shy, so she didn't insist. "Okay then! You don't have to cook dinner. I'll bring you something delicious when I come back! "
Feng Xiuzhu smiled and nodded.
Ni Dahai walked out of the courtyard first, and the three of them went to the restaurant.
After a while, the car stopped outside the Binhu Restaurant. Mi Xaing 'er got out of the car and couldn't help but sigh. "Brother Ni, you have good taste. Let's not talk about the food first. Just based on the location of your restaurant, it's close to the business district and faces the lake. There must be a lot of people eating there!"
Ni Dahai raised his head proudly. "Of course!"
He took two steps closer to Mi Xaing 'er and whispered, "Guess how much I earn in a day now!"
Without waiting for her answer, he stuck out five fingers and said, "This much!"
Did he want more? After a few words, Yun Jingting coughed twice … Ni Dahai understood that he was being disdained for whispering to Mi Xaing 'er. He simply shrugged and smiled casually. "Let's not talk about it. Let's go into the restaurant!"
He jogged a few steps and deliberately left Mi Xaing 'er and her husband behind.
Mi Xaing 'er seized the opportunity and pulled Yun Jingting's arm. "Let me ask you. What did you promise me last night? Didn't you say that we would meet as little as possible in the future? "
Yun Laohu didn't think much of it. "I did say that! But don't I have something important to do today? I have to send the marriage certificate to you first! The status of husband and wife is a big deal! We can't be careless! "
"…"
"Also, after I went back, I thought about it carefully. As long as we don't reveal our relationship in the military or school for the time being, there won't be any problems at all!" He was probably afraid that his wife would continue to harp on this topic. He rubbed his hands together and quietly avoided her. "It's really cold outside. Let's go in quickly. Don't talk anymore!"
He walked quickly into the restaurant.
Mi Xaing 'er had no choice but to follow behind him.
When she looked up, the first thing she saw was Sun Wuwei … They hadn't seen each other for two years. Of course, Sun Wuwei was especially enthusiastic when meeting an old friend again. He was already standing by the door to welcome her and looked her up and down. "Mi Xaing, how long has it been since we last met? You look pretty good! You look even prettier with your big braids cut! You're also dressed like a Shanghainese! "
In that era, the mention of Shanghainese seemed to be synonymous with fashion.
After a simple greeting to Yun Laohu, he pulled Mi Xaing 'er to the table and sat down. "Hey, what else do you want to eat? Tell me and I'll make it!"
Tian Xiner immediately added, "Xiang 'er, I've tried the dishes just now. The taste is really good! Especially the Four Happiness Meatballs and the red braised pork … I must try them! "
Mi Xaing 'er turned to look at her. "Oh, you're dressed up so beautifully today?"
She thought for a moment and asked, "Are you here for a blind date?"
Ni Dahai was really impressed by Mi Xaing 'er's intelligence. He asked casually, "Guess … what's the result?"
Mi Xaing 'er laughed. "There's no need to guess, right? Brother Tong is sitting here. That explains everything! "
Tian Xiner didn't know how to react. She blinked her big eyes and said, "I don't understand! What does my brother have to do with the result? "
Mi Xaing 'er laughed and poked her forehead. "Did you get into trouble? You made Brother Tong angry! If you're going on a steady blind date, now should be the time when you're in the thick of it. Why would Brother Tong be sitting here? "
Tong Che smiled faintly … Although he didn't say anything, he was impressed by Mi Xaing 'er's observation skills.
When she mentioned getting into trouble …
Tian Xiner was a little unconvinced. "You can't blame me for what happened today! The boy that Second Sis introduced me to is too delicate. He's not even as brave as those of us who gather herbs in the mountains! "
Second Sis?
When Yun Laohu heard this, she immediately frowned without batting an eyelid. The smile on her face gradually disappeared. She looked meaningfully at Tong Che but didn't say anything because there were too many people at the table.
They began to eat.
The atmosphere was harmonious as they chatted and laughed.
During the meal …
Tong Che got up and went to the bathroom. Just as he was washing his hands, Yun Laohu came in. She looked around and saw that there was no one around. "Brother Tong, I want to talk to you!"
Tong Che straightened his back. "What's wrong, Tiger? Why are you so serious? "
Yun Jingting went straight to the point. "Brother Tong, you know my personality. I like to be straightforward. Last night … I purposely didn't pick up Second Sis. You should know what I was thinking, right?"
Tong Che didn't expect him to be so direct. He was stunned for a moment. He lowered his head and didn't know how to answer.
Yun Jingting took a deep breath. "Regarding the relationship between you and my sister, I didn't want to interfere. Mi Xaing 'er tried to persuade me a hundred times. She said … this is between the two of you. You're both adults and should have the ability to solve this problem! But I've been watching coldly from the sidelines. I think … "
Cloud Tiger was really a 'donkey'. Once his temper flared up, he would do whatever he wanted. "… Brother Tong, I've always admired your knowledge and ability since we were young. But when it comes to relationships, I feel that you're a little slow, not straightforward, and ambiguous!"
Tong Che sighed. "I understand how you think! But I've already made it clear to Xiaoqi … before Tian Xiner gets married, I don't intend to consider personal matters! "
Yun Laohu clenched her fists and muttered softly, "My bad temper! I really can't stand this! "
She looked up and said, "Brother Tong, let me put it bluntly. If you were a soldier under my command, I … I would kick you out right now! Not for anything else, but for your stubbornness! It's such a simple thing. Love is love. If you don't love her, you don't love her! Just say it. You don't have to keep my sister in suspense! "
Tong Che straightened his back and pursed his lips. Although he looked arrogant, there was a hint of pain in his eyes. "Love … may be very simple to you! You can grab your wife and carry her to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get married because your background is simple, your family is simple, and your experiences are simple … so everything is simple to you! "
"…"
"I'm not like you. I'm almost forty years old. My experience, age, status, and the responsibilities on my shoulders don't allow me to be like a young man who is obsessed with love!"
Tong Che sighed and lowered his voice. "Old Tiger, can you understand my situation? Let's talk about this calmly … Although they didn't say it explicitly, why would Tian Xiner's parents let an 18-year-old girl be raised by a single man like me? "
"Then you should reject them! Just reject them directly! If you don't have that thought, then don't bring her out! "
"Reject them? How can I reject them? Reject a family member? Reject a family member who has always been by your side when you were in trouble? Oh! When I was in trouble, I hid under their wings. When my life was better, I told them … I'm sorry, but don't follow me! I'll go back to the city to live a good life. I'll send you money on time, okay? "
Tong Che's Adam's apple moved up and down. He seemed to be a little emotional. "When I was at my lowest, I had a fever for seven days … I almost died! At that time, I was a gangster. Who cared about me? If I died, I died! If I was sent to the crematorium and cremated, I'm afraid not even ashes would be left! I still remember Tian Xiner was only ten years old. In that dark attic, she carried a basket on her back and her sister sat behind her. She brought me medicine during the day and water at night. She used alcohol to help me burn the crematorium … "
That scene seemed to appear in front of Tiger Cloud's eyes. He didn't feel good. "I understand …"
"Understand? You'll never understand! Because you've never fallen to the bottom! The feeling of someone being willing to lend a hand when you're in despair … If I forget, I'm not even human! So, Tian Xiner came out with me. There's only one thing I can do, and that is to make her happy. Happier than anyone else! "
Yun Laohu ran her fingers through her short hair. "You're making me confused … Just give me a simple answer! Who do you love? Is my sister still Tian Xiner? Not as a family member, but as a woman! "
Tong Che smiled bitterly. "Tiger, if you have to choose between love and family, which one will you choose? Will you hesitate? Will you be indecisive? In short, whether you understand me or not, I've already made up my mind. If Tian Xiner wants to marry me, if she thinks that's happiness … "
He stopped talking and turned his gaze to the window. "So, the words I said to Xiaoqi … were not to leave her hanging. They were my true feelings! Before Tian Xiner makes a decision, I'll never be free! "
Tong Che's gaze was a little dazed, as if he was talking to himself. "Sometimes, I feel like a single father with a daughter. I love my daughter so much that I don't dare to remarry … because I'm afraid that my daughter won't be happy! I have to see my daughter grow up and be able to take charge of things. Only then can I be at ease and seek my own happiness! "
Yun Laohu was used to being domineering. Although she could understand Tong Che's feelings, she also felt sorry for her sister.
After a pause, she said, "Okay! Brother Tong, I won't force you anymore! Take your time to decide! This is your life. No one else has the right to tell you what to do! "
He changed the topic. "Anyway, it's not like my sister can't get married! I don't believe that she can't find a good man other than you! "
He was decisive and didn't beat around the bush. He raised his eyebrows proudly. "I thought that since you're not free now, she wouldn't have to wait for you. From today onwards, I'll find her a partner … a blind date! Don't regret it when the time comes! "
Without another word, he turned around and returned to his wife's side … The expression on his face was as calm as the wind, as if nothing had happened.
The few of them finished their meal …
Yun Jingting sent Mi Xaing 'er home …
As soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard a baby crying …
Yun Laohu seemed to have a premonition of something. She quickly turned her head with a hint of urgency in her eyes. "Xiang 'er, what's going on? Whose child is it? "
Without waiting for her answer, she stepped into the house …
