Chapter 15: Ever-Changing

ting his steamed bun and slowly stood up. He stared intently at Chen Hong who had just gotten out of the car. 。Today, Chen Hong is wearing a powder-pink sleeveless dress, with fishtail braids and whit...Chen Hong's attitude surprised Xiao Zheng. 。He also wanted to explain that although he had gone beyond the agreed upon week, he had finally managed to sort out his work and so on. 。Unexpectedly, Chen Hong directly asked him to eat dinner and didn't need any explanation from him. 。Xiao Zheng asked, "Do you know about the promotion I'm talking about" Chen Hong said, "Yeah, I know." 。My parents said, please come to our house for dinner and celebrate with you. 。Xiao Zheng couldn't help but be happy. After so many years, Chen Hong's parents had finally taken the initiative to invite him to dinner. 。It seems that becoming a deputy division-level leader has changed Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin's attitude towards me. 。Before that, he wouldn't hold a grudge against their coldness and disdain towards him, after all, they were Chen Hong's parents. 。As long as they agree to him being with Chen Hong now, Xiao Zheng said, "Thank you, Uncle and Aunt. After work, I'll go over early." 。“Well, I'm going home early too.” 。We'll meet downstairs then and go up together. 。Chen Hong's words revealed a tenderness that was truly a welcome change. It was something Xiao Zheng had only experienced during their university days. After entering the workforce, especially after being transferred to the Anjian Station, Chen Hong's attitude towards him had become progressively colder each year. Now, it seems she has finally returned to her old self. 。

Xiao Zheng's feelings for Chen Hong are genuine. 。Chen Hong is not only beautiful but also has a great figure. Even if she is wearing simple t-shirts and jeans, you can still feel her undeniable youthful energy. 。During his university years, Xiao Zheng was very dedicated to pursuing Chen Hong. He knew he didn't have a strong background or much money, so he focused on studying hard, earning top scholarships every year. He also worked as a tutor to earn money and buy clothes and cosmetics for Chen Hong. 。Besides, he used the extra money to learn a martial art. 。He thought, having a beautiful girlfriend would surely come in handy. Maybe she could be useful in a pinch. 。Although he hasn't used his boxing skills yet, he often practices them in his free time. 。His master once told him, "When it comes to kung fu, if you don't practice for a day, only you know. If you don't practice for two days, your master knows. If you don't practice for three days, everyone knows." 。So, he still practiced a few moves whenever he had free time, but he didn't let Chen Hong know. Because Chen Hong had made it clear to him that she didn't want him to fight, saying that this society doesn't rely on fighting, but on brains and connections. 。In short, Xiao Zheng did many things for Chen Hong, some of which Chen Hong didn't even know about. 。Chen Hong chose him among the many suitors in university because she saw that Xiao Zheng was a promising young man. During his time at university, he not only won scholarships but also held positions in both the department and faculty student unions. In the end, because she needed to return to her parents in the county, he resolutely gave up job opportunities with provincial government agencies and large corporations, choosing to return with her instead. 。

Such a Xiao Zheng, despite coming from the countryside, still has boundless prospects. 。In fact, Chen Hong's father, Chen Guangming, was also a farmer. After the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1978, he studied day and night by candlelight, and finally got admitted to the Agricultural College. After graduation, he was assigned to work in the county and is currently a deputy division-level leader, serving as the County Director of Agriculture. 。So, Chen Guangming still has high hopes for young people like Ken who work hard, and he agrees with Chen Hong's relationship with Xiao Zheng, who excelled during their university years. 。Later on, unexpectedly, Xiao Zheng, after starting work, had a bad relationship with the main leaders. There were also issues of integrity in his office, so Xiao Zheng was transferred to the safety supervision station and relegated to a cold bench. Only then did Chen Guangming and his wife look down on Xiao Zheng. 。They worried about their daughter's lifelong happiness, so they urged her to break up with Xiao Zheng. 。From Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin's perspective, their actions are understandable. Which parent would entrust their daughter to a rural low-ranking official with an uncertain future and the risk of unemployment at any time

Xiao Zheng is not a selfish person; he can also understand the difficulties faced by Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin as parents. 。Anyway, those feelings of self-doubt are in the past. The fact that Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin proactively invited me to their home for dinner today is enough to show that they've changed their minds. 。After work, Xiao Zheng immediately left town and rode his motorcycle to the county seat. 。Although the mountain path in the summer evening was a bit bumpy and winding, and the air in the mountains had been turned yellow by mining dust, Xiao Zheng's mood was good, and everything seemed wonderful. 。When they reached the county town, Xiao Zheng stopped in front of a newly opened supermarket not far from Chen's house. He went inside and bought two bottles of 350 yuan Maotai liquor, two boxes of Naoking oral liquid, one bottle of skin tightening water, and one box of face masks. 。 。Last time, Xiao Zheng saw that Cai Shao Hua sent panda cigarettes to the Chen family. It can be seen that the Chen Hong family, a cadre family, also pays attention to the level of gifts they receive. Ordinary things can't send them out. 。These things cost Xiao Zheng half a month's salary, but they can be given to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Even if he had more money, he couldn't afford it. 。Sometimes Xiao Zheng felt that the customs of China were strange. To make someone think you are good to them, you had to give them something. The more expensive the gift or red envelope, the better they thought you were to them. 。。"Xiao Zheng said, "I'll be there soon." 。Xiao Zheng revved the engine and sped up, quickly arriving at Chen Hong's house. 。She was seen wearing a white dress and sparkling blue sapphire high heels, waiting downstairs in the apartment complex. She stood tall and graceful, incredibly beautiful. 。Xiao Zheng quickly went up and took the things off the car, saying: "Come on, let's go upstairs." 。"Chen Hong saw the things in his hands, her expression was a little surprised, but also quite happy, and said: "How did you buy so many things" Xiao Zheng said: "To see your dad and mom, you always have to buy something, otherwise I wouldn't be a banana hand!" Chen Hong smiled sweetly at Xiao Zheng and said: "When did you become so sensible"

Xiao Zheng casually said: "After experiencing more, I became sensible" 。"Xiao Zheng only said it casually, but Chen Hong's expression changed slightly. She said, "Are you blaming my parents for their previous attitude towards you" Xiao Zheng didn't want to upset Chen Hong, so he said, "How could that be I wasn't good enough before." 。Chen Hong looked at Xiao Zheng and said, "You really won't be angry with them" Xiao Zheng nodded very certainly and said, "Rest assured, I won't. No matter what, they are your parents. Just like I wouldn't really be angry with you, I definitely won't be angry with them." 。"Chen Hong smiled when she heard this, "Alright, let's go up then." 。My dad is back too, and mom has already prepared dinner. 。"Have you smelled the aroma of the abalone chicken" Xiao Zheng sniffed and said, "It really does smell good." 。Then, Chen Hong carried her small handbag and Xiao Zheng carried things up the stairs. 。Chen Hongjia lives on the third floor. 。As they reached the corner on the second floor, Xiao Zheng suddenly said, "Could you help me carry this" 。In his left hand, Xiao Zheng only held the cosmetics he had bought for Chen Hong. 。Chen Hong asked strangely, "What's wrong" Xiao Zheng pretended to be in pain: "My hand is a bit cramped." 。Chen Hong still thought Xiao Zheng was really uncomfortable with his hands, “Then give it to me,” she said and took the cosmetics bag. 。However, the moment she picked it up, Xiao Zheng's empty left hand circled around Chen Hong's waist, pulling her closer to him. 。Leaning against each other, Xiao Zheng's left hand felt the flexibility of Chen Hong's waist. The feeling was truly indescribable. 。Chen Hong's body had always held a certain inexplicable allure for Xiao Zheng. However, during their university years, Chen Hong had made it clear that they would only be intimate if they were married. Xiao Zheng agreed to this, and he would never force Chen Hong into anything. 。Nevertheless, their occasional physical contact still had a subtle effect. 。Xiao Zheng is a young man, full of passion and vigor. Besides Chen Hong, he never casually contacts other girls, so any accidental touch always makes Xiao Zheng feel extremely wonderful. 。For a long time, Chen Hong hadn't come to see him, deliberately distancing herself from him. Now that the situation had finally improved, Xiao Zheng couldn't help but want to give her a hug. 。Chen Hong was blushed all over by Xiao Zheng's embrace: "You're so bad, how could you do this You said your hand was cramping, I didn't expect you to have such an idea!" Saying that, Chen Hong wanted to break free from Xiao Zheng's grasp, but he tightened his hold. After struggling for a while, Chen Hong stopped resisting, it seemed she actually liked it in her heart. 。

The two walked upstairs, arms linked. Possibly hearing their footsteps, Sun Wenmin might have opened the door and asked at the entrance, "Chen Hong, is it you and Xiao Zheng" Chen Hong replied, "Mom, your ears are sharp, Xiao Zheng came with me" 。"Xiao Zheng could only regretfully take his hand away from Chen Hong's waist, took the thing from Chen Hong's hands, and said, "Auntie, hello, I'm here." 。“Sun Wenmin’s attitude was obviously much better than last time: “That’s good, since you’re here, we can start eating.” 。"Sun Wenmin prepared slippers for them to change into. Seeing what Xiao Zheng was carrying, all high-end items, he smiled and said, "Xiao Zheng, why are you buying things again" Xiao Zheng replied, "This is for showing respect to Uncle and Aunt. There's nothing special about it." 。Saying that, he handed it to Sun Wenmin. 。Sun Wenmin took it and put it in the small storage room. 。Her storage room had a good selection of fine liquor and cigarettes, as well as health products. Sun Wenmin opened the plastic bag, took out the items, and satisfiedly put the Moutai back on the shelf for Moutai, and placed the Naojin oral liquid and Gui Bie Wan together. 。Chen Guangming also walked out from the study, glanced at Xiao Zheng and Chen Hong, with a kind expression, said: "You're here, then we can have dinner now." 。That tone is completely different from two weeks ago. 。Xiao Zheng thought to himself, people can change so quickly. 。All the unpleasant events that happened before seemed to have never occurred at the Chen household. 。But has it really never happened for whether you can get used to living in the county town, I don't believe that people in county towns today are all city dwellers. 。"Like Chen Hong's father, wasn't he also from a farming background...
