Chapter 997: Old Enemy Comes to Visit
Du Fei was anxious when he heard the knock on the door and asked "Who?"
Julie's voice immediately came from outside the door, "I, open the door quickly, I can't hold on any longer."
Du Fei took two steps and opened the door to take a look.
I saw Zhu Li at the door carrying a big bag and a small bag, and she quickly reached out to take it.
Julie let out a long breath and shook her red hands.
Once Du Fei got it, it was really heavy and difficult for Julie to carry.
"What are you talking about? Bringing so many things?" Du Fei asked Julie into the room.
Julie rubbed her hands, changed into slippers and said, "I have some stored there. They were all for body replenishment, as well as foreign chocolate and coffee. I don't know if I can eat it after giving birth. Please take the time to ask the doctor." ”
Du Fei guessed that it should be some nutritional supplements she had used to prepare for pregnancy.
Zhu Li was so excited that she washed her hands first, then ran into the house and said with a smile, "My little baby, let my second aunt hold me." At this time, little Zhengze was in high spirits. When he saw Zhu Li, he giggled and said Zhu Li was so beautiful that she laughed so hard that her nose bubbled with snot.
Du Fei followed, a little strange.
When Zhu Min gave birth to her third child a while ago, although Zhu Li also went there, it was not like now.
Ordinarily, the original relationship between the sisters of the Zhu family, except for those who were not in the capital, was better between Zhu Li and Zhu Min, because when Zhu Li was a child, she stayed at her uncle's house for several years.
The eldest aunt of the Zhu family is a very kind and simple woman, and she treats her niece even better than her own daughter. Du Fei didn't know that Julie actually had other plans.
This time, I watched Zhu Ting's pregnancy and childbirth. How to support the child? Zhu Li was so diligent just to learn secretly.
Recently, seeing little Zhengze so cute, she became more determined to have a baby of her own. As for whether to borrow seeds from Du Fei, put it aside for now.
She must first learn how to give birth and how to raise them.
Because once she gave birth to a child out of wedlock, she would not be able to have a family around her like Zhu Ting.
Even Julie didn't want to tell her mother.
Her father is not in good health and her mother is not young either. It would be bad if she is stimulated.
In Julie's mind, it was best to give birth quietly, and then take the child with her in the name of adoption after her body was well taken care of.
Thinking of this, she glanced at Du Fei again.
She was extremely conflicted about borrowing a seed from her cousin-in-law, so how could she open her mouth. Du Fei didn't know Julie's entanglement and was still packing the things she brought.
Suddenly he said "Huh", picked up a small iron pot, and turned around and said, "Second sister, is this a coffee pot?"
Julie was startled and said "Uh", then nodded and said, "Yes, I originally went to perform abroad and bought it in Budapest. There are coffee beans underneath. I can't drink it, so I brought it here. Don't spoil it."
Du Fei pulled out the coffee beans from underneath, "Oh, these are Ethiopian coffee beans, not bad!" Julie asked, "Are Ethiopian coffee beans good?"
Du Fei chuckled and said, "It's really good, thank you, second sister~"
Although Julie has some petty bourgeois sentiments, the information in this era is poor, and many things that will be common sense in the future have now become marginal and unpopular knowledge.
However, Du Fei didn't have any particular preference for coffee, he just drank it occasionally. While Julie went into the house to see the children, she packed her things.
I took out the coffee beans and wanted to try them.
Put the coffee beans in the grinder on the pot, and just after grinding the coffee beans, there was another knock on the door. Du Fei was stunned for a moment, then stood up and asked "Who?"
A woman's voice came from outside the door, "Hello, is this Zhu Ting's house?" Du Fei opened the door and saw a man and a woman standing outside.
She looks about the same age as Zhu Ting.
The girl is quite good-looking, but she is not tall, barely 1.6 meters tall. The man is energetic, tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
"Yes, you two." Du Fei had never seen these two people before.
"You are Du Fei~" the woman smiled and looked at her, "My name is Zhang Lan, I am Zhu Ting's old classmate, you should have heard her say it~"
"Hello, hello, please come in." Du Fei suddenly realized that from getting married to now, Du Fei had heard this name more than once, and it was Zhu Ting's nemesis since childhood.
Zhang Lan walked in and continued to introduce, "This is my lover Liu Aiguo."
Liu Aiguo put down the gifts he brought, shook hands with Du Fei, and said "Nice to meet you." Du Fei was polite and asked him to sit in the room.
Zhu Ting heard the commotion and came out of the house. She saw that Zhang Lan showed no hostility, let alone any daggers. She smiled and said, "Xiaolan, you are finally willing to come! I didn't even see anyone when I got married."
Zhang Lan also smiled and said, "Hey, don't mention it. I was wandering through the ravines in Southwest China while you were getting married." The two women were reminiscing about the past, and it was not obvious that they were sworn enemies.
After a while, Zhang Lan took the initiative and said, "By the way, where is the baby?" Zhu Ting said, "It's in the house, the second sister is watching~"
"Sister Zhu Li?" Zhang Lan also knew Zhu Li and stood up and said, "Where is the bathroom? I wash my hands." "Over there~" She stood up and said to Du Fei, "Xiao Fei, please stay with Lao Liu."
Du Fei nodded. Although it was the first time they met, neither Du Fei nor Liu Aiguo were boring gourds. Du Fei made a pot of tea, and soon the two of them started chatting.
Du Fei learned that Liu Aiguo worked in DC District and was a section chief with a neither high nor low position. In the house.
The old saying, three women in one drama is true at all. Although Zhu Ting and Zhang Lan smile like flowers, their conversations are indispensable. It turns out that Zhang Lan got married first and had children first.
Compared with men and children, Zhu Ting defeated without fighting.
Now she finally made it back. As soon as Zhu Ting entered the room, she asked schemingly, "Second sister, has Zhengze peed?" Then without waiting for Zhu Li to say anything, she pretended to change the pee ring, exposing herself as a chick.
He almost covered his mouth and laughed and said, "Ho ho ho, do you see, I gave birth to a baby with a baby!" How could Zhang Lan not understand this after spending all these years with her.
She rolled her eyes angrily. Her first-born daughter had always been a bit grudge. Zhu Ting stopped clicking. She had won this game anyway.
Then the three of them teased the children and chatted about other things.
After a while, Zhang Lan suddenly asked, "By the way, Xiao Ting, where does your wife work?" Zhu Ting immediately understood that Zhang Lan wanted to win back the victory.
It was obvious that Du Fei was not very old. If he were a college student, he would have just graduated. Although Liu Aiguo is neither high nor low, he is a section chief.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Ting was waiting for her, and smiled meaningfully, "Our family, Xiaofei, is a manager of a trading company under the Foreign Economic Commission."
Zhang Lan asked in surprise, "Top leader?" Zhu Ting nodded.
Zhang Lan was a little off guard for a moment, but he didn't expect to get what he wanted.
Zhu Ting did not forget to finish the last hit, and said paradoxically, "They are a deputy director-level unit~" but did not say, the unit
It's at the deputy director level, and Du Fei, the manager, is still at the department level.
Zhang Lan couldn't help but widen her eyes with disbelief on her face.
But he still tensed up and said with a smile, "That's great. I'm from the Foreign Economic and Economic Commission. If I need to buy some foreign goods in the future, I'll look for you~" Then he asked again, "By the way, I heard that Zhang Hongying and Lao Hu went abroad." went?"
Speaking of this, Zhu Ting sighed, "If you had come back a few days earlier, you could have met Hongying." The three of them have known each other since they were children. When talking about Zhang Hongying's situation, both of them felt a little sad.
After staying for two hours, it was almost lunch time, and Zhang Lan and his wife said goodbye. Du Fei wanted to stay with them for dinner, but was politely refused.
In fact, from the time they arrived, it could be seen that they had no intention of staying for dinner. Du Fei sent the two of them downstairs and watched them ride away before returning. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Zhu Ting holding her child and giggling in the living room.
Julie also smiled a little.
As soon as Du Fei came in, Zhu Ting asked, "Hey, when you came downstairs just now, was Zhang Lan's face dark?"
Du Fei couldn't laugh or cry, "How could you not be so happy? Weren't you two just fine~"
Zhu Ting curled her lips, "You know what? That bitch is so annoying. She even farts louder than me." Du Fei was speechless for a while. This was probably a kind of friendship.
On the other side, Zhang Lan returned angrily.
Home.
Liu Aiguo's words of persuasion had no effect, and he simply didn't say anything in depth.
The two returned home. As soon as Zhang Lan entered the house, she shouted, "Mom, where is my dad?"
Zhang Lan's mother was cooking, and she frowned and said, "What's wrong with this girl? It feels like she's taken some gunpowder? Didn't she go to see Xiaoting?"
Zhang Lan bit her lip, stamped her foot and said, "Mom, I'm so angry!"
Zhang's mother was used to it and said with a smile, "Who told you to go to Xiaoting? There was no time when you two met without fighting each other." Zhang Lan pouted and said, "Mom, I'll go find my dad!"
Zhang’s mother said, “Your dad is in the study~”
After speaking, he turned to ask Liu Aiguo, "Aiguo, what happened to make Xiaolan so angry?" Liu Aiguo smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, Zhu Ting gave birth to a son."
Zhang's mother suddenly realized, she laughed and scolded, "You damn girl, you compare yourself to others in everything. A boy will be a boy. You two are still young, so it would be better if we had another baby." After saying that, she walked to the kitchen, "Aiguo, sit down for a while, mom." Go cook."
Liu Aiguo hurriedly said, "Mom, let me help you~"
At the same time, Zhang Lan came to the study and knocked on her father's door.
The person in the room was a little bald, but he was in good spirits and was writing a lot of ink. Zhang Lan came in, but didn't say anything immediately. She walked over and watched silently.
It wasn't until I finished writing a word that I called out "Dad."
Dad Zhang glanced at her, put down the brush, and asked calmly, "What's wrong? Who messed with you again? You're so angry."
"Dad~" Zhang Lan said in a long voice, then praised the calligraphy he just wrote, "Dad, your calligraphy is getting more and more charming. I think it is much better than those calligraphers from the Calligraphy Association."
But Zhang's father didn't agree with her. He glared at her and said, "Girl, if you have anything to say, just say it and stop pouring ecstasy soup on your father." Zhang Lan had a pitiful expression on her face, "Dad, I just went to see Xiaoting."
Dad Zhang said "Hmm".
Zhang Lan helped Zhang's father to sit on the sofa next to the window, and said, "Dad, can you tell me something about Aiguo's deputy office? In their unit, Aiguo talks about ability, qualifications, and academic qualifications." , which is not
He is outstanding, but he is still a small section chief. He failed to get promoted to deputy director last time, and he failed again this time."
Father Zhang frowned, looked at his daughter and said solemnly, "Did Ai Guo ask you to come?"
Zhang Lan saw that her father's mood had become lowered and she quickly explained, "No, I'm just so angry. I went to see Zhu Ting today. Her lover is younger than me, and she actually proposed a deputy virginity. How can I explain it to you! You are no better than me." Her father's position is low"
At the end of the sentence, under her father's increasingly stern gaze, her voice became smaller and smaller until she was silent. Then Dad Zhang said "hum" "silly!"
Zhang Lan still disagrees.
Dad Zhang thought for a while, sighed and said, "Xiaolan, go and lock the door."
Zhang Lan didn't know why, turned around and locked the door of the study, came back and said, "Dad, what do you want to say?" Zhang's father said, "Do you want to know why Aiguo didn't mention it to the deputy director twice?"
Zhang Lan's chicken pecked at the rice and nodded quickly.
Father Zhang said calmly, "I was the one who held him down. Otherwise, do you think their district chief is a fool? Knowing that Ai Guo is my son-in-law, you still held him down on purpose?"
Zhang Lan couldn't help but be stunned, with a look of disbelief on her face. She didn't understand why her father did this.
Dad Zhang paused, giving her time to think, and then added, "Besides, you said that I am no lower than Xiaoting's father." He sneered, "You are the eldest, not the youngest, and you have been influenced by everything in our family. Don't you even understand this?" Zhu Jiatai is favored now, and he will definitely make a move next year. Why should we compare ourselves to others? Do you understand that your father and I really like to write this bad word?"
Zhang Lan had almost never seen her father speak like this. She couldn't help but shrink her neck and quickly lowered her head and said, "Dad, don't be angry. I'm wrong."
Dad Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and lovingly touched the top of his daughter's head, "Silly girl, you have always wanted to compete with the Zhu family girl in everything since you were a child. Dad never told you before, it was just a little girl's nonsense. But everything must be done. Proportion, you have to know what can and cannot be compared."
Zhang Lan nodded silently.
Dad Zhang asked again, "Now do you understand why I have been patriotic in the past few years?"
Zhang Lan was stunned, a little confused as to why he suddenly turned to Liu Aiguo again.
Zhang Lan is not stupid, but he is not very sensitive to Zheng Zhi. Father Zhang waited for a moment and sighed secretly.
I'm glad I didn't let my daughter enter the institution, otherwise she would have been in trouble sooner or later.
She simply pointed out, "Girl, you should know better. I was patriotic to you back then." Zhang Lan's face looked a little ugly.
She and Liu Aiguo were college classmates. At first Liu Aiguo had a relationship, but later he became close to Zhang Lan. The main reason was because of her family background.
As a result, Liu Aiguo was directly assigned to a local agency in the capital after graduation. But after work, he suddenly became more successful than expected.
I just followed the steps and was a little faster than my peers.
Especially the year before last and this year, two particularly good opportunities to propose a deputy virginity were missed.
Dad Zhang continued, "Girl, patriotism is a good character, and it treats you well, but you have to know that the human heart cannot withstand the test. If you want to live a happy life with patriotism and harmony, you can't pull him out." The sky is so high that birds can fly, the sea is so vast that fish can leap, how can you still hold him?"
Zhang Lan's eyes flickered, and she pursed her lips and said "hmm". Although she doesn't agree with it from a perceptual point of view.
But reason told her that her father was right.
But he still said stubbornly, "But what about Zhu Ting? Why does she love her?"
