Lu Jun's words to fan the flames were reasonable, as if Xiao Zheng refused, he would be a shameless person who was unfaithful, unjust, unkind and unfilial. But Brother Azheng, who has been struggling in the mall for nearly a year, is not a fool who listened to the slander. Just as he had thought before, if he ran up to the ring to fight with someone for no reason, it would not be good for him to win or lose, and he would be annoying.
But he didn't want to dampen the enthusiasm of his old friend too much. He smiled and said solemnly: "If he dares to challenge the authority of my Iron King, I will definitely beat him to pieces!"
After that, without waiting for Lu Jun to continue his advice, he got into the car and disappeared in a flash.
"Damn! You can't be fooled?" Lu Jun rubbed his chin and muttered. "This kid is becoming more and more worldly. Alas, he is degenerate."
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when she got home, and Lin Huayin was sitting in the restaurant eating her light fruit salad while staring at the financial news on TV. Since Xiao Zheng moved into Lin's house, he has never seen Lin Huayin watching any program other than financial news. She is really an iceberg woman with no interest in life.
"Why don't you have some staple food?" Xiao Zheng sat next to him and asked with concern. "You've been busy all day, so don't starve your body if you eat this little fruit."
Lin Huayin ate a piece of apple cut into small pieces and said: "Buddhism emphasizes not eating after noon. It can clear the mind, improve eyesight, and refresh the brain. It has many benefits."
Xiao Zheng said helplessly: "People don't eat after lunch for the sake of spiritual practice. Just like my mother-in-law, she sits in meditation and chants sutras all day long without any physical exertion. Look at you again, just reading and approving the contract will make you half exhausted. If you don't add any more, Just a little nutrition, is that enough?"
Lin Huayin finished the small salad and said with a calm expression: "Eating less can keep the mind clear enough. If you eat too much, people will be confused and unwilling to make progress."
"That's true." Xiao Zheng scratched his head and smiled. "I've had a good appetite recently. Every time I finish lunch, I feel groggy and take a two- to three-hour nap. It's such a waste of time."
Lin Huayin put away the dishes, then walked out of the kitchen and said, "What are the plans for the National Day?"
National Day
Xiao Zheng came back to his senses and said with emotion: "Yes. It's already the end of September. It's National Day again soon. Thinking about last year's National Day, this was the first time I went to your house."
Lin Huayin glanced at him and asked, "Want to go to Yanjing?"
"I won't go." Xiao Zheng shook his head like a rattle. said awkwardly. "I just got into big trouble, I can't throw myself into a trap."
Lin Huayin nodded slightly and asked, "Where do you want to go?"
This was the first time Lin Huayin took the initiative to ask Xiao Zheng to spend the National Day holiday. Xiao Zheng thought for a while, touched his chin and said, "I heard that the Maldives will collapse in a few decades. How about we go to the Maldives to play?"
"Not interested." Lin Huayin shook his head lightly.
"Bali is also a tourist destination. It has good scenery and is suitable for holiday entertainment." Xiao Zheng introduced.
"I won't go." Lin Huayin was determined.
"—" Xiao Zheng asked rhetorically. "Then where do you want to go?"
If you ask someone, just respect their choice. If you say you won’t go this way, you won’t go that way either. What's this
"America." Lin Huayin said.
USA
Xiao Zheng instantly understood Lin Huayin's intention and nodded: "Okay. Let's go to the United States. I'll book a flight."
"Already booked." Lin Huayin said.
"—" Xiao Zheng glanced at Lin Huayin with a strange expression. "Does this count as discussing with me?"
"It doesn't count." Lin Huayin said.
"—"
Look, is it difficult to be chauvinistic when living with such an independent person
After taking a bath, the two lay on the bed and chatted about a few boring topics. Lin Huayin announced that the conversation was over. Fell into sleep.
Early the next morning, while Xiao Zheng was eating breakfast, he asked Lin Huayin for leave, saying that he was going to the security area. Lin Huayin didn't ask any questions. He ate a sandwich and drank a glass of milk before ending his breakfast time.
"Go home early in the evening. Aunt Jing is coming to Mingzhu." Lin Huayin asked before leaving.
Aunt Jing is coming to Mingzhu
Xiao Zheng finished his breakfast in a hurry, followed Lin Huayin out at a trot, and asked: "What are Aunt Jing doing here? Hasn't she been practicing in the mountains?"
"I don't know." Lin Huayin got into the car and shook his head. "Ye Zanghua called me last night."
"Okay. I'll go home when I'm done. If any of us have time, we can go to the supermarket to buy some fruits and vegetables, so as not to be like my mother-in-law, who can't eat this and that." Xiao Zheng said thoughtfully.
"Um."
After talking about the matter, Lin Huayin drove to work. Xiao Zheng went back to the house and changed into the custom-made suit Lin Huayin gave him, and polished his leather shoes. Then he drove his beloved BMW towards the security area.
The peak military showdown
Thinking about Xiao Zheng, I felt a little yearning. That is the highest honor for a soldier.
That's right, Xiao Zheng was dismissed from the army because of an accident that year. But deep down in his heart, he still loves military life. It's simple and enjoyable. In addition to eating, drinking, and defecating every day, it's life-threatening training. No need to think about anything complicated or worry about three meals a day. Xiao Zheng even thought about transferring him back to Mingzhu once he became famous in the army, and then used his authority in the army to help the old director run the orphanage. There is no need to be corrupt, just use your identity to attract some investment.
Before the age of twenty, Xiao Zheng's life was simple and innocent. He never dreamed that he would experience the years of war overseas in his life. He never thought that he would become a demon with blood on his hands.
Like many people, I have food to eat when I am hungry, sleep for eight hours when I am sleepy, find a virtuous and decent wife, and have a pair of children. I can occasionally reminisce with my old comrades, have a cup of tea, and reminisce about the pure life in the army. . That's enough.
But how can life follow its own predetermined track? As long as you are still alive, as long as you have not entered the coffin, even on the last day before death, the trajectory of your life may change dramatically. It may also be beyond your expectations. What's more, it's twenty-year-old Xiao Zheng
Of course, compared with the life he expected, Xiao Zheng's current life is more fulfilling, more nourishing, and more challenging. He doesn't want to compare which life is more meaningful. He just wants to rely on his own efforts to live a happy and stable life that he cannot control.
"Brat!"
As soon as he got out of the car, Lu Jun came up to him with a smile and curse: "You are driving without thinking? Do you know that you almost killed me?"
Xiao Zhengying lit a cigarette and looked at Junjun sideways and said, "It's okay. I really killed you. The insurance company will pay for it for me. I will give you an additional 18,000 yuan in mental damages."
Lu Lu snorted, hugged Xiao Zheng's shoulders enthusiastically, and asked in a low voice: "What do you think about what I said yesterday? As long as you nod, I will start making arrangements immediately."
"How about you go first?" Xiao Zheng said. "In our group, you are the one with the highest military rank and the best success. If you don't stand out, how can I steal your limelight?"
