"Of course it's no problem."
Niu Dali and Zhou Chen both said that it was no problem, Cai Xiaonian would choose to get married on a day when they would not be driving, so both of them would be free.
Wang Xin said hesitantly, "To be honest, it's hard for me to say. You all know the situation of the criminal police team. If there is a case, we will be busy day and night, and we may even have to go to other places to handle the case. So I can't give you an answer now, but I promise that as long as there is no case that day, I will definitely go."
"That's no problem."
Cai Xiaonian was very happy. Nowadays, weddings are all about the scene and the excitement. With someone joining him, his pressure was naturally reduced.
Wang Xin asked, "Didn't your future mother-in-law ask for four new Phoenix brand bicycles? Are you ready?"
"I borrowed two from people in my company. There's one in the compound, and Zhou Chen's bike is pretty new too, so there's definitely no problem."
"So what do you mean by forty-eight legs are also ready?"
"I have to thank you and the neighbors in the courtyard for helping to collect the money. I'll drink this glass of wine."
Cai Xiaonian drank the glass in one gulp. If it weren't for the help of the neighbors in the compound, their family would definitely not have been able to meet his mother-in-law's requirements for this marriage. He kept these favors in his heart.
"I, Cai Xiaonian, am making this clear today. When you get married, if you need me for anything, I will ask you for help and I will do it without hesitation."
Niu Dali laughed and said, "Of course. When Yao Er and I get married, I will need your help."
"Yo yo yo."
Cai Xiaonian sneered: "Niu Dali, I really don't know where you get the confidence from to marry Yao Er. I think you are just being sentimental."
Niu Dali said dissatisfiedly: "What do you know about being sentimental? I have made great progress with Yao Er now. I believe that with my efforts, it won't be long before Yao Er will agree to my pursuit, date me, and finally marry me."
"Haha." Cai Xiaonian and Wang Xin laughed at the same time.
"It's not even dark yet, Dali, let's stop daydreaming here. Come on, have a drink, and think about it after you get drunk."
"No, what do you mean? You look down on me, right? Well, just wait. Sooner or later, I will let you see me marry Yao'er."
That night, except for Zhou Chen, Wang Xin and the other two were all drunk. Zhou Chen sent them home one by one, and then came back to clean up the mess at home.
There were quite a few passengers on the train on New Year's Eve, but Zhou Chen and his friends spent the Spring Festival in the dining car.
…………
Harbin City.
Zhou Chen met Peng Yongli and Peng Mingjie at the station.
"Zhou Chen."
When Peng Yongli saw Zhou Chen, she waved to him happily.
Zhou Chen walked over and said, "Uncle, Lili, here are the tickets. Here they are."
Peng Mingjie took the ticket and asked, "How much is it?"
"Uncle, I don't have much money..."
"No, just take what you deserve."
Peng Mingjie didn't give Zhou Chen a chance and directly blocked what Zhou Chen was about to say. Zhou Chen could only tell him the ticket price.
Peng Yongli happily said to Zhou Chen: "We went to Ningyang in advance this time to visit Uncle Ma's home. My father even bought a sheep to bring to Uncle Ma. My father carried it all the way and was very tired."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen immediately said, "Leave it to me, uncle, I'll carry it. The passengers haven't started to get on the bus yet, so don't squeeze. I'll take you up first."
"Need not……"
Peng Mingjie was about to refuse Zhou Chen's kindness, but Zhou Chen just picked up the sheep that had made him tired along the way, and also picked up Peng Yongli's luggage bag. He led the way towards the car. Peng Yongli didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and followed Zhou Chen happily.
Peng Mingjie was a little confused. After a few seconds, he exclaimed: "This kid is quite strong."
The sheep he brought this time, including bones and meat, weighed dozens of kilograms. It took a lot of effort for him to carry it with both hands behind his back. However, Zhou Chen lifted it up with one hand, and he looked very relaxed. This strength really surprised him.
It was not time to get on the bus yet, but Zhou Chen took the Peng father and daughter directly into the car.
"Uncle, it may not be convenient to put the sheep in the sleeper. If you don't mind, I can help put it with us and give it to you when you get off the train. What do you think?"
This time Peng Mingjie did not refuse. It was indeed not convenient to put dozens of kilograms of mutton on the berth. He would always take a nap, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you."
"No trouble."
Zhou Chen first took them to the sleeper berths, and then placed the mutton in their staff compartment, next to his own berth. Non-staff members were not allowed to enter here, so there was no need to worry about it being taken away.
The journey back to Ningyang was not peaceful. We caught two thieves and a hooligan who attacked women.
Zhou Chen felt that these hooligans who attacked cars were really stupid. The crime of hooliganism these days was quite serious. Once you were charged with this crime, your life would be ruined, and even your relatives and friends might be implicated.
After arriving in Ningyang, Zhou Chen took the initiative to help Peng Mingjie and his friends find a tricycle and went back to the railway compound with them.
"Mingjie, come on, you're here, but you brought such a big sheep, how much money and meat tickets would it cost?"
The Ma Kui family were surprised to see that Peng Mingjie actually brought a sheep. It was not easy to eat meat these days, and a whole sheep was something they could not even imagine. But the Peng father and daughter brought it to them from thousands of miles away, which showed how much love they had.
Peng Mingjie smiled and said, "Lao Ma, given our relationship, it's a bit awkward to say these things. Once Lili leaves, I can't eat all this by myself at home. It would be more fun to bring it here and eat it with you. Sister-in-law, let's cook mutton tonight."
Wang Sufang looked at Ma Kui, who could only smile bitterly and nodded: "Just listen to Mingjie. Yan'er, I'll go cook with you."
"Okay, Dad."
Ma Yan was very happy. This sheep weighed several dozen kilograms and she would have something to eat in the days to come. She had never had the chance to eat meat to her heart's content since she was a child, but now she had the chance.
Ma Kui gave another instruction: "By the way, Yan'er, give me a leg of lamb later and send it quietly to Zhou Chen's house."
Ma Yan naturally had no objection: "I know, I'll send it right away. Dad, how about sending one to Wang Xin's family as well?"
"What are you going to send to his family? If you don't want to send it, I'm warning you, don't send it secretly. If I find out, I won't forgive you."
"If you don't want to send it, then don't send it. You're so stingy. Wang Xin has sent us many gifts."
Wang Sufang pulled away Ma Yan, who was muttering and very dissatisfied, and whispered a few words in her ear, and then she smiled.
"Come on, Mingjie, Lili, sit down quickly."
Zhou Chen was cleaning at home when he suddenly heard Ma Yan's voice.
"Zhou Chen, are you home? I'm coming in."
"come in."
Zhou Chen put down the rag in his hand and saw Ma Yan walking in with a snakeskin bag, followed by Peng Yongli and Ma Jian.
"My dad asked me to bring you a leg of lamb, and also asked me to ask you to come to our house for dinner later."
Zhou Chen said: "Come in and sit down first. I can accept the lamb leg, but you don't have to go to eat. I have already started cooking."
Seeing Zhou Chen's bright and tidy house, Ma Yan smiled and said, "I always feel strange when I come to your place. You live alone, but your house is cleaner than ours. I wish Wang Xin could be half as diligent as you."
Zhou Chen took some candy for them to eat.
Peng Yongli did not sit down, but looked at Zhou Chen's house carefully. This was her first time entering Zhou Chen's house. It was different from what she had imagined. Just as Ma Yan said, it was very tidy and clean, and the furniture arrangement was also refreshing and looked very stylish.
"Zhou Chen, did you clean this place by yourself? These tables, chairs and furniture are so beautiful, especially the carvings on them. They are so beautiful. I heard from my sister that you can carve wood. Did you carve all these by yourself?"
"Yeah, I was bored so I made some myself. It's just acceptable."
He disposed of all the old furniture in his house, and the current furniture is all made by himself. Although limited by the material, the appearance is indeed much better looking than the furniture of today.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 1371 Painting, Lili moves into the compound
"Wow, this is a folding screen. Did you carve it, too? It feels so historical."
Peng Yongli was very surprised when she saw a wooden screen in Zhou Chen's room. In this era, such antique wooden screens are basically no longer seen. Even if there are any, they are usually found in wealthy families. When she saw it here from Zhou Chen, she thought it was carved by Zhou Chen himself.
Zhou Chen smiled and explained: "This is really not carved by me, I bought it from someone else. It is a real antique."
“It’s really an antique.”
Peng Yongli became even more interested. She studied Chinese and knew that antiques like this were becoming increasingly rare, and it was indeed not easy to see real antiques.
Ma Yan looked at Zhou Chen and Peng Yongli, who were so absorbed in their conversation that they totally ignored her, and smiled meaningfully.
Thinking of what Peng Yongli said to her, saying that she was not interested in Zhou Chen, looking at her attitude and eyes, she almost wanted to live in Zhou Chen's house. If she was not interested in him, then wouldn't the relationship between her and Wang Xin be purer?
She had no intention of staying here as a light bulb, so she stood up.
"Um, Zhou Chen, I have to go to Wang Xin's house again. Lili, how about you stay here first, and I'll call you when it's time for dinner?"
"Okay."
Peng Yongli agreed without thinking. She didn't know Wang Xin, and going to Wang Xin's house was not as attractive to her as staying at Zhou Chen's house.
Seeing this, Ma Yan became even more certain that this girl was hopeless. However, thinking about Zhou Chen's ability, it would not be a loss if Peng Yongli could date Zhou Chen.
"Ma Jian, come with me."
"okay."
Ma Jian looked at the candies on the table reluctantly. Zhou Chen walked over, grabbed a handful and put it in his pocket, then rubbed his head.
"I'll give it all to you, but don't eat too much candy, or your teeth will fall out."
"Okay, brother."
After Ma Yan and her brother left, Zhou Chen continued to take Peng Yongli to appreciate his masterpiece. Peng Yongli was also very interested in this and kept communicating and asking questions to Zhou Chen.
In the end, Ma Yan ignored her father's obstruction and took a leg of lamb to Wang Xin's house.
"Oh my god, such a big lamb leg. Has your family made a fortune?" Wang Xin was very surprised when he saw the lamb leg sent by Ma Yan.
Ma Yan said unhappily, "Don't you know whether my family will become rich or not? This is what my uncle Peng brought from Harbin."
"Oh."
Wang Xin knew Peng Mingjie. He had heard Ma Yan mention him before. Later, when he and Ma Kui went to Harbin, Ma Kui also went to Peng Mingjie's house.
Ma Yan said excitedly: "Wang Xin, let me tell you, Uncle Peng's daughter, Lili, she and Zhou Chen..."
"What? Zhou Chen is dating the daughter of Uncle Ma's friend?"
After hearing this, Wang Xin was shocked and then thought of something.
"When I was having dinner at Zhou Chen's house a few years ago, I heard Cai Xiaonian and Niu Dali mention that Zhou Chen seemed to be dating a female college student. That Lili was a college student. Could it be that she was the one they were talking about?"
"That should be the case. I heard from Lili that Zhou Chen bought their tickets back to Harbin. And Lili's attitude towards Zhou Chen is so obvious that anyone can see something fishy. Zhou Chen is the same. I have never seen him treat any girl so well before. You didn't see it. His attitude towards Lili is obviously different from that of others."
"Tsk tsk, that's such a coincidence. Let's go over and take a look. I haven't seen what Lili looks like yet."
Ma Yan stopped Wang Xin who was about to leave and said, "What are you doing? They are having a rare time alone together, and you are disturbing them. What are you thinking?"
"Yes, I am really curious. Zhou Chen is so serious all the time. I thought he had no interest in women. I didn't expect he had a big trick up his sleeve. It's a female college student. No wonder Cai Xiaonian looked so admiring when he talked about it."
It was time for dinner when Ma Yan left Wang Xin's house and went to Zhou Chen's house to ask Peng Yongli to come back for dinner. Wang Xin couldn't resist his curiosity and followed her.
When they came in, they saw a novel scene. Peng Yongli was sitting there upright, and Zhou Chen had a drawing board in front of him, and was painting seriously.
Seeing this scene, the two did not disturb him. They slowed down their pace, quietly walked behind Zhou Chen, and looked at Zhou Chen's drawing board.
Upon seeing this, they were all surprised. They saw that the painting on Zhou Chen's drawing board was almost finished and was being colored, but the quality could already be seen.
Wang Xin thought he had some talent in painting, but after seeing what Zhou Chen said, he still felt inferior. The gap was simply too big.
Although she couldn't bear to disturb this beautiful scene, Ma Yan still spoke.
"Ahem, Lili, the meal is ready. My dad is calling us to go back and eat."
"what."
Peng Yongli immediately looked disappointed, as she wanted to wait until Zhou Chen finished his painting before looking at it.
Zhou Chen stopped writing and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Your voice and appearance have been imprinted in my mind. I can finish the remaining coloring by myself. You guys go eat first."
Ma Yan shuddered: "Hey, it's already imprinted in my mind, Zhou Chen, these words really don't sound like coming from your mouth."
Wang Xin interrupted and said, "Speak to people in different ways. He would definitely not say that to others."
Peng Yongli blushed. Zhou Chen's words were indeed a bit explicit, but she didn't feel offended at all. Instead, she felt secretly happy in her heart.
Ma Yan took Peng Yongli away. Before leaving, Peng Yongli said, "I'll come back after dinner."
Wang Xin slapped Zhou Chen on the shoulder and said with a chuckle, "Of course, I was wondering why you haven't dated in the past few years. It turns out you are so wild and want to find a female college student."
Zhou Chen snorted coldly, "Superficial, there are so many female college students, why don't I just go find someone else? When it comes to dating, it depends on chemistry."
"Tsk, you're just a hypocrite."
Wang Xin showed disdain, then his face became serious: "I heard from Ma Yan that this Lili is the daughter of Uncle Ma's friend. I tell you, if you really like her, you have to treat her well and don't mess around. It will be hard for Uncle Ma to say anything when the time comes."
