Chapter 1370: The Old Father's Vigilance, Lili's First Visit

Yao Yuling was very angry, but she was not only angry because Zhou Chen was taken away by someone, but also because of her dissatisfaction with Zhou Chen's attitude.

She took the initiative to show her affection, but Zhou Chen was indifferent to her, and almost rejected her openly.

But now, Zhou Chen found a girl who was not as pretty and charming as her. Except for her academic qualifications, how was she not better than this girl? Is it just because she is a college student?

‘Superficial. ’

She cursed in her heart. She didn't think she had a problem, but she thought Zhou Chen had a problem with his vision. Well, he was also vain.

Yao Yuling was unhappy and even forgot the purpose of her coming. She twisted her body and walked out of the dining car, thinking that out of sight, out of mind.

Cai Xiaonian looked at her back as she left and said softly, "It has to be Zhou Chen. When it comes to women, Wang Xin and Niu Dali are far behind me. They are comparable to me."

Since Wang Xin and Ma Kui became criminal police, he has had the most contact with Zhou Chen. They eat and sleep in the same car when they are at work, and live in the same compound when they are off work, so he knows Zhou Chen quite well.

Although it was the first time he met Peng Yongli, he could see that Zhou Chen's attitude towards this girl was obviously different from that towards other girls. He really put his heart into it. And the girl's attitude towards Zhou Chen was also very friendly, which meant that they definitely had a chance.

He really admired Zhou Chen. This girl was a college student. She looked like she was less than 20 years old and was very beautiful. Zhou Chen could actually win her over. He had to admire her.

Zhou Chen didn't care about other people's eyes at all. He was explaining the problem to Peng Yongli. He had never been to college in this world, but his knowledge was not comparable to that of a college student. Not to mention teaching Peng Yongli, a freshman, he had no pressure to teach even a graduate student or a doctoral student.

In this short period of time, Peng Yongli admired Zhou Chen even more. She asked a lot of questions, but Zhou Chen was able to answer them every time. It was really amazing.

Peng Yongli stayed in the dining car until dinner before leaving. During this time, Yu Xingguo brought Qin Yan and You Yuejin, who were very discerning and did not disturb Zhou Chen at all, and took care of all the work.

As soon as Peng Yongli left, the colleagues in the car surrounded Zhou Chen and began to inquire about the situation.

"Zhou Chen, who was that girl just now?"

"Friend."

"Oh my god, you're still friends after all that?"

"Of course, you found a female college student, which is great for our dean."

"A good match, I think you two are really a good match."

"…………"

Zhou Chen smiled and responded to the gossiping crowd, because Peng Yongli's sudden arrival made him the topic of everyone's conversation and he was asked about it.

After dealing with these gossiping people, Zhou Chen returned to work.

On the train now, there are basically few big things, but many small things. Most of them can be solved by the train attendants, and those that are difficult to solve will be found by the train police. Relatively speaking, the work of the train police is simpler than that of the train attendants.

In the following journey, Peng Yongli came to see Zhou Chen twice and had dinner with Zhou Chen, but it was not just the two of them, there was also Peng Mingjie.

Zhou Chen naturally saw the vigilance and warning in Peng Mingjie's eyes, but he pretended not to see it. He had been an old father more than once, so he could naturally understand what Peng Mingjie was thinking now. The best way was to pretend not to understand and ignore it.

Occasionally, Peng Mingjie's tone was not very good, and Zhou Chen pretended not to understand. Peng Mingjie was also very depressed when he saw Zhou Chen was unmoved, but seeing his daughter's attitude towards Zhou Chen was so good, he could only sigh.

Girls can't be kept at home when they grow up.

After arriving in Harbin, Zhou Chen said goodbye to Peng Yongli and the others.

"When you are about to start school, call me again and I will buy a ticket for you."

Peng Yongli smiled sweetly: "Okay, I will call you then and take your bus again."

After saying goodbye to Zhou Chen, Peng Yongli happily went home with her father. Seeing her happy look, Peng Mingjie felt very uncomfortable.

"Lili, what's so good about that boy? You are a college student."

Peng Yongli didn't care: "What's wrong with being a college student? Although Zhou Chen didn't go to college, he just didn't take the college entrance examination. He is much more knowledgeable than me, and he is also better than those male classmates in our school."

This is not her deliberate promotion of Zhou Chen, but a real feeling. Zhou Chen, both externally and internally, is very consistent with her expectations of her other half.

Compared with Zhou Chen's maturity and stability, those male classmates in the school are far behind. The most important thing is that Zhou Chen has treated her very well in several contacts, and he is very measured in his advances and retreats.

So, she really wants to date Zhou Chen now, but she is a girl, even if she has this intention, she is embarrassed to bring it up first, and she is waiting for Zhou Chen.

The beginning of the winter vacation of the university means that the Spring Festival is approaching. During this period, the Railway Bureau will start to be busy again, and Zhou Chen and his team are also a little busier than usual.

This year is very unfortunate. On New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year, Zhou Chen and his team have to go out, so they can't spend the New Year at home.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar year, Cai Xiaonian specially invited Zhou Chen, Wang Xin and Niu Dali to have a gathering.

The place for the gathering was chosen to be Zhou Chen's home. Cai Xiaonian provided food and wine. Wang Xin and Niu Dali also brought some New Year's goods, such as melon seeds, peanuts, and bacon.

Cai Xiaonian poured wine for Zhou Chen and the other two, raised his glass, and said first: "We will be driving tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so let's get together in advance today. I wish everyone a happy new year."

"Happy New Year."

The four of them clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Cai Xiaonian raised his wine glass again: "Secondly, you all know about me. Yanhong and I are scheduled to get married after the Spring Festival, so we need help from my brothers then. The four cars for the wedding are just for us. One car, no problem, right?”

"Of course it's no problem."

Niu Dali and Zhou Chen both said that it was okay. Cai Xiaonian would choose to get married on a day when they were not leaving the car, so they would both be free.

However, Wang Xin said hesitantly: "To be honest, it's hard to tell from my side. You also know the situation of the criminal police team. If there is any case by then, it will be busy day and night. Maybe it will be possible." I have to go out of town to handle a case, so I can’t give an answer now, but I promise that as long as there is no case that day, I will definitely come.”

"That's no problem."

Cai Xiaonian was very happy. Marriage these days is all about spectacle and excitement. With someone with him, his pressure will naturally be greatly reduced.

Wang Xin asked: "Didn't your future mother-in-law say she wants four new Phoenix bicycles? Are you ready?"

"I borrowed two cars from people at work, one in the compound, and Zhou Chen's car is pretty new, so there must be nothing wrong with it."

"Then the forty-eight legs are ready?"

"I have to thank you and the neighbors in the yard. Thanks to everyone's help, I drank this glass of wine."

Cai Xiaonian drank a glass of wine. If it were not for the help of the neighbors in the compound, their family would definitely not be able to meet the requirements of his mother-in-law. He kept these kindnesses in his heart.

"I, Cai Xiaonian, put these words here today. From now on when you get married, whenever there is any use for me, I will say hello without saying a word."

Niu Dali chuckled and said, "That's necessary. When Yao'er and I get married, your help will be indispensable."

"Yo yo yo."

Cai Xiaonian sneered: "Niu Dali, I don't know where you get your confidence. You are still married to Yao Er. I think you are just being sentimental."

Niu Dali was dissatisfied and said: "What do you mean, you know what? Yao'er and I have made great progress now. I believe that with my hard work, it won't be long before Yao'er will agree to my pursuit and get along with me." Object, finally marry me.”

"Haha." Cai Xiaonian and Wang Xin laughed at the same time.

"It's not dark yet, Dali, let's not daydream here. Come on, drink. Don't think about it until you're drunk."

"No, what do you mean, you look down on people, right? Okay, just wait for me. Sooner or later, I will let you see me marry Yao'er."

That night, except Zhou Chen, Wang Xin and the other three drank too much. Zhou Chen sent them back one by one, and then came back to clean up the mess at home.

There were many passengers on the New Year's Eve train, and Zhou Chen and the others spent this 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 is the ticket. Here it is."

Peng Mingjie took the ticket and asked, "How much is it?"

"Uncle, I don't have much money..."

"No, just take as much as you need."

Peng Mingjie didn't give Zhou Chen a chance and directly blocked what Zhou Chen wanted to say. Zhou Chen could only tell him the fare.

Peng Yongli happily told Zhou Chen: "We went to Ningyang in advance this time to visit Uncle Ma's house. My dad even bought a sheep to bring to Uncle Ma. My dad carried it on his back all the way. Very tired."

When Zhou Chen heard this, he immediately said: "Leave it to me, uncle. I'll carry it. The passengers haven't started to get on the bus yet, so there's no need to squeeze. I'll take you up first."

"Need not……"

Peng Mingjie was about to refuse Zhou Chen's kindness, but Zhou Chen just casually picked up the sheep that had tired him all the way. He also helped Peng Yongli's luggage bag and took the lead towards the car. Go, Peng Yongli didn't think there was any problem and followed Zhou Chen happily.

Peng Mingjie was a little confused. After a few seconds, he exclaimed: "This kid is very strong."

The sheep he brought this time, including the bones and meat, weighed dozens of kilograms. It took a lot of effort for him to carry it with both hands. However, Zhou Chen lifted it up with one hand. He looked very relaxed. This strength really shocked him.

It wasn't time to board the bus yet, but Zhou Chen took the Peng family and his daughter directly onto the bus.

"Uncle, it might not be convenient to put this sheep in the sleeper berth. If you don't worry, I can help put it in our place and bring it to you when we get off the car. What do you think?"

Peng Mingjie didn't refuse anymore. It was really inconvenient to put the mutton weighing dozens of kilograms in the sleeper 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 sleeping berth, and then put the mutton in their staff compartment, next to his own bunk. Non-staff members could not enter, so they didn't have to worry about it being taken away.

This trip back to Ningyang was not peaceful. I caught two thieves stealing things and a gangster who preyed on women.

Zhou Chen felt that these gangsters who attacked cars were really stupid. The crimes of gangsters these days were quite serious. Once they were charged with this crime, their whole lives would be ruined. Even relatives and friends could be punished. implicated.

When they arrived in Ningyang, Zhou Chen took the initiative to find a tricycle for Peng Mingjie and others, and went back to the railway compound with them.

"Mingjie, tell me, come on, come and bring such a big sheep, how much will it cost in terms of meat tickets?"

The Ma Kui family were shocked when they saw that Peng Mingjie actually brought a sheep. It is not easy to eat meat these days. A whole sheep was unthinkable, but the Peng family and his daughter were thousands of miles away. What a show of affection it is to bring it to them.

Peng Mingjie said with a smile: "Old Ma, our relationship is nothing to talk about. Once Lili leaves, I won't be able to eat these at home alone. It would be fun to bring them over to eat with you. Sister-in-law, tonight Cook mutton.”

Wang Sufang looked at Ma Kui, who could only nod with a wry smile: "Just listen to Mingjie, Yan'er, go cook with you."

"Okay, Dad."

Ma Yan was very happy. This sheep weighed several dozen kilograms, and she would have to eat it orally in the coming days. She had never been able to eat meat openly when she was so old, but now she had the opportunity.

Ma Kui gave another instruction: "By the way, Yan'er, we will divide a leg of lamb into pieces later and send it quietly to Zhou Chen's house."

Naturally, Ma Yan would not have any objections: "I know, I'll send it to you right away. Dad, how about giving one to Wang Xin's family too?"

"If you don't give anything to his family, I'm warning you. Don't give it secretly. If I find out, I won't be able to spare you."

"If you don't want to give it, you won't give it away. It's stingy. Wang Xin always gives us things."

Wang Sufang pulled away Ma Yan, who was muttering and very dissatisfied, and whispered a few words in her ear before 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 at home? I'm coming in?"

"come in."

Zhou Chen put down the rag in his hand and saw Ma Yan walking in carrying 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 take the leg of lamb, but you won't need it if you go to eat. I've already started cooking."

Seeing Zhou Chen's house bright and neat, Ma Yan said with a smile: "Every time I come here, I feel strange. You live alone and your house is cleaner than ours. It would be great if Wang Xin was half as diligent as you." ”

Zhou Chen took some candies for them to eat.

Peng Yongli did not sit down, but looked at Zhou Chen's house carefully. This was the first time she entered Zhou Chen's house. It was different from what she imagined. Just like Ma Yan said, it was very neat and clean, and The furniture arrangement is also refreshing and looks very stylish.

"Zhou Chen, did you clean up this place all 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. Are these all? Did you carve it yourself?"

"Yeah, I was bored, so I made some by myself, just enough to catch my eye."

He had disposed of all the old furniture at home, and now all the furniture was made by himself. Although it was limited by the material, the appearance was indeed much better than the furniture of today.
