General Chen in the military compound. Even if Ye Xiaotian is just an out-of-town real estate investor on a business trip, he knows the background of General Chen to some extent. He is a second-generation military man with a well-established background and outstanding military exploits. But It's not a civilian position.
But with such a strong background of the Chen family, why is it that one son died and Chen Jiao was a cook with little education? And he still looks stupid
Because not everyone is so eager to compete for power, especially those who have really experienced the battlefield, and can better understand the value of being ordinary, and because the Chen family has such a good wife like Lu Ning.
Two generations of the Chen family have been in the army. In the generation of Chen Yuan and Chen Jiao, the two sons are the treasures of the family. However, Chen's father is quite opposed to his son joining the army or politics in the future. After the reform and opening up, the power within the party has changed greatly. Some people and their family members have grown up. As a result of the changes in power, the Chen family has a tendency to be purged as members of the elder faction. In addition, Lu Ning is an overseas student who has returned to China, and she is more open-minded about her children's education and future issues.
After Chen Yuan retired from the army, he originally worked as a civilian in the army, and later went into business on his own, and the business was successful; Chen Jiao was not as lucky as Chen Yuan. He had been in poor health since he was a child. He also had nephritis as a child and always had fevers and colds. , the Chen family has the background to call the best medicines for their children in the military area, and even get imported medicines from abroad, but the child's illness has never been good.
Later, Chen Jiao's grandma invited a Taoist priest from nowhere to look after the child. The Taoist priest directly said that the child was born with deficiencies and was not blessed to have such great blessings as your Chen family when he was a child. He could not raise the child in this way. It was best to send him to the countryside as a child. If you raise a child from an ordinary family, you can just bring it back when he is seven or eight years old. From now on, just do whatever comes your way. Don't force it. When he becomes an adult, he will have his own blessings.
Lu Ning was a woman in the new society and couldn't bear to hear these superstitious things. At that time, she asked coldly: "If his luck is not in the Chen family, where can he be?"
The Taoist priest smiled enigmatically, with a little goat's beard, and sighed: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Since they are not in Chenjiao, they can always be in other families, the Ye family, the Wang family, the Liu family..."
At that time, Lu Ning felt that the Taoist priest was simply lying and was sick, and Chen Jiao's grandmother was also crazy. However, Lu Ning had no choice but to send the child to the countryside to raise her. Fortunately, Lu Ning's parents were married and retired. After that, he lived a small life in the countryside, growing flowers, farming and fishing, just enough to take care of his children.
The Chen family sent them to the countryside with the idea of giving it a try, but Lu Ning didn't believe what the Taoist priest Tiansha said at all, but a miracle happened a week later.
After a week in the countryside, Chen Jiao didn't have a fever or cold, and he ate more than before. He followed a bunch of friends in the countryside and ran around and made trouble all day long. Afterwards, he went to the hospital for a checkup and found that his nephritis was gradually cured.
This incident was a surprise to the Chen family, and it was an impact on Lu Ning's outlook on life. She studied in a foreign university and believed in Marx's words, but now she has witnessed the "miracle" said by a Taoist priest
Chen Jiao grew up peacefully in the countryside until he was seven years old. He returned to Chen's family to attend elementary school, but his grades were always average. Others could attend the Mathematical Olympiad class, but Chen Jiao could only do exercises dryly at home, while others could read 300 Tang poems. Chen Jiao has to read every single song he has recited countless times...
At that time, Lu Ning couldn't see the child's future at all, but if she thought about it carefully, she didn't worry too much. After all, Chen Jiao's father held an important position in the army. From now on, he could just find an easy job for the child, and he could live a peaceful life and marry a wife. To give birth to a child, there is no need for him to make achievements or enter politics.
The Chen family all have this mentality. They never hope that their two children will achieve great things in the future. The Chen family thinks very clearly. This road is destined to be difficult. After the reform and opening up and economic development, the conflict of interests will become more prominent. In all aspects.
Chen Jiao's grades were not good since he was a child, and he couldn't study until he graduated from junior high school. If it were anyone else's family, he would probably be anxious to death, but the old Chen family was not anxious. Lu Ning asked Chen Jiao what he wanted to do, and Chen Jiao saw at that time The TV was always from New Oriental, New Oriental, New Oriental or Lanxiang Lanxiang, so I just said I should learn to be a chef, so I went to learn to be a chef...
Then Chen Jiao's talents finally came to light. He worked very hard in school, had a good tongue and a maid, and could learn everything in one go. Good-looking people were popular everywhere, and he later represented the school. I became an exchange student and studied Western cuisine abroad for half a year.
Lu Ning didn't have any religious beliefs before, but since then she has felt that children and grandchildren are really blessed. Don't force yourself. You can't force anything. The same principle applies to doing things you like and being with the people you like.
Therefore, both the Chen family and the Lu family were extremely calm about Chen Jiao's coming out. What's more, now that technology is developing rapidly and men can have children, what's the problem with marrying a man in the future
Foolish people are blessed by fools. Chen Jiao himself has verified this sentence. Especially after Chen Yuan's death, the Chen family wants to see Chen Jiao well. They only have one child. As long as they are safe, they don't want to go anywhere. Forced.
Therefore, Lu Ning was very open-minded about Ye Xiaotian's matter. She intuitively felt that Ye Xiaotian was a very genuine person and was good to children. If she was really asked to choose, she still hoped that Chen Jiao could be with Ye Xiaotian. together.
If Ye Xiaotian is here, no matter how stupid or naive Chen Jiao is, he will still have a smart person to guide him.
As for Ye Xiaotian, since he found out that Chen Jiao was the son of a general, he felt a little uneasy.
In fact, it's normal to not be calm. Which general's son would work as a chef in a hotel? It’s simply unheard of and unseen! ! And why does a general's son look so innocent
How did a tiger give birth to a little white rabbit? It's not scientific at all! !
Ye Xiaotian went back that day and thought about it, and suddenly became a little confused. He was quite calm at first. At first, he felt that Chen Jiao had an ordinary background, and that it was just right for him and Chen Jiao to get married. From now on, the two families would take care of the children together, and they should not be too happy.
But now that Chen Jiao has a family with such a background, Ye Xiaotian suddenly has a feeling of being unreachable. To put it bluntly, it is actually the mentality of a big man. A wife with a simpler background will earn less, and she will only feel love when she is loved. A sense of satisfaction as a man.
To put it bluntly, Ye Xiaotian's views are quite conservative. He doesn't think that Chen Jiao has a strong background. In the future, if he and Chen Jiao are together, they can have some connections in the military and maybe do some real estate. He only thinks that his wife's natal background is too big. , will you feel uncontrollable in the future
Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but feel embarrassed as he thought about this. When did he lose his confidence so much
After Lu Ning went back that day, she specifically talked to Chen Jiao about Ye Xiaotian. Chen Jiao's whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning, charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
Lu Ning basically expressed his opinion. To put it simply, it was - "What do you think of Ye Xiaotian? If you think he is not bad, then you can get along. Everyone will be happy if you get along. If you don't get along, we will talk about it later."
Chen Jiao looked at Lu Ning in shock. He had known since he was a child that his mother was a female college student who had studied abroad. She accepted new things much faster than other old ladies, but not that fast? !
Chen Jiao was almost kicked out by Lu Ning that day. After Lu Ning finished what he wanted to say, he turned back to the room and changed into pajamas. When he saw Chen Jiao, his face immediately changed and he said, "You are such a big man. Why are you staying at home all day long? Come on, hurry up, work and appointments are whatever you want, don't hang around in front of me all day, I have a headache!"
Chen Jiao walked away with his tail between his legs. Ye Xiaotian called him in the afternoon. Both of them were very embarrassed.
It's like making a baby kiss. Before both parties get involved, their parents are already urging them.
Ye Xiaotian said: "Xiao Fei will come back in the evening, come over."
"okay."
Chen Jiao passed by in the afternoon, but Ye Fei hadn't come back yet. Ye Xiaotian was sitting on the bar in front of the counter, reading documents. When the two looked at each other, they could feel something called "embarrassment" shaking in the air. Ahuang's.
Chen Jiao lowered his eyes, walked over silently, rolled up his sleeves subconsciously, stood in front of the kitchen counter and said to Ye Xiaotian: "My mother has been looking for you? She didn't say anything, right?"
Ye Xiaotian: "Oh, it's nothing."
Then there was dead silence. Chen Jiao turned around and went to the refrigerator to get vegetables and rice. Ye Xiaotian held a document in his hand and looked at it very carelessly. In the end, he threw the document away and finally couldn't help but said: "What do you think? Your dad is a general, and you work as a chef in a hotel?"
Chen Jiao no longer felt the doubts of the people around him. He turned his head while washing rice, smiled at Ye Xiaotian and said: "I know that a tiger father has no dog son, but my family can accept me as a human being." Chef, there's nothing you can do if you can't accept it. And I'm really not smart. Being a chef is already great, and I also like my profession very much." After saying that, he turned back and continued to work on himself with a slight bow. work.
Ye Xiaotian was stunned for a moment. He originally thought Chen Jiao would explain something. For example, I am a casual person who doesn’t want to rely on my family and other nice words, but Ye Xiaotian doesn’t. He dares to admit that he is ordinary and doesn’t think there is anything wrong with being ordinary. He even said that he really likes to be a chef and has no previous experience. Compare your ordinary career with your rich background to highlight your personality charm, etc.
His mentality was really good, which made the confused Ye Xiao feel ashamed.
Ye Xiaotian looked at Chen Jiao's figure, his clean face, eyes, and every word he said flashed through his mind. A thunder suddenly exploded in Ye Xiaotian's mind, and a voice kept flashing in his mind -
"It's him, it's him! It can't be wrong! It's him!"
