"The Companion"
Su Xiaopei reviews her life, she is really not a good person to get along with. But Cheng Jiangyi changed her.
He cares about her, not the kind of accommodating and forgiving, but caring about and changing her life.
"Do you really like your current job?" Having been with her for so long in another world, he knew her well. Although she is an editor in a publishing house, she is still very concerned about social hotspots and news about criminal cases. Cheng Jiangyi said with a smile that her father's policeman's blood is in her blood.
"It's okay." Su Xiaopei answered cautiously. Having fought her mother for so many years about her work, she knows that many people cannot bear family jobs that deal with crime. She wanted to live a good life with Cheng Jiangyi, and she didn't want to have any more disputes over this matter.
"I thought you preferred the study of criminal psychology." Cheng Jiangyi was distracted while reading the newspaper while eating breakfast to discuss such a serious topic with her.
"It's fine." Su Xiaopei answered with a guilty conscience. Of course, she preferred her previous work at the Institute of Psychology, where she was interested and had a greater sense of accomplishment.
"Then go back to the institute and do what you like."
Su Xiaopei was stunned for a while, then looked up at him, was he testing her or did he really want her to go back
"Go back." Cheng Jiangyi stuck his head out from behind the newspaper to look at her. "Looking for a job is like looking for a husband. It's better if you like it. There is no happiness in trying to do it."
Su Xiaopei didn't speak, Cheng Jiangyi frowned, "Okay, I'll be serious. I mean, I can understand your work, we have both experienced such a dangerous situation in the past, there is no reason why everything is fine now, Shunshun Dangdang stops you from doing what you love, right?"
"My mother won't agree." Su Xiaopei was moved. She was really unhappy with her current job, but when she remembered her mother's life-threatening reaction, she shook her head.
"You can convince her."
"The result of the persuasion was that I compromised, otherwise I would have gone to work in a publishing house. I worked well in the research institute, with a high salary and a good future, and a strong social status."
Cheng Jiangyi put down the newspaper: "wife, most people are more reserved when they brag."
"You mean you?"
"Okay, you don't have to be subtle, I like you like this." Cheng Jiangyi changed his expression of flattery: "I'll be in charge of the persuasion of my mother-in-law, what do you think?"
Su Xiaopei glanced at him: "What's your purpose?"
"Look at what you said, what purpose can I have? We will be a couple, a family."
"Well, so what?"
"Your business is mine. Of course, I planned it for you. If it is done, we will celebrate it."
"So congratulations is the point?" Su Xiaopei said with an expression of "I see through you".
"Hey." Cheng Jiangyi said seriously, "wife, we haven't tried it in the living room."
"… "
"Okay, okay, you don't need this kind of expression. If you can do the job you like, your mood will be good, your mood will be good, and our life will be moisturizing, it's that simple."
"..." She didn't quite believe it.
Life is good, and it's normal for two people to change things up and have some fun in the world, right, wife? Cheng Jiangyi smiled, put down the newspaper, and decided to convince his mother-in-law.
On the weekend, Cheng Jiangyi really took Su Xiaopei back to her mother's house to have dinner with Li Fei. After the meal, he asked Su Xiaopei to wash the dishes, and accompanied Li Fei to eat fruit in the living room. Li Fei is very satisfied with her daughter being called to wash the dishes. Her daughter has a strong personality and reads too many books. She has always worried that she will not compromise and be gentle in the future when she gets married. Now, seeing that her future son-in-law can inspire her, she This is very satisfying as a mother.
"Mom." Cheng Jiangyi called out cheeky, "I want to pick a date to marry Xiaopei, what do you think?"
How about it? you still need to ask? Li Fei almost couldn't help staring at him. This question is too unprofessional.
"When are you planning to?" Although I wish they would go to get the certificate and register tomorrow, the mother still fights for her daughter and looks calm and calm.
"I haven't discussed it with Xiao Pei yet. I'm quite worried that she will reject me."
"What are you worried about? You all live together. Sooner or later you will get married. Xiaopei is not a trendy person. Why don't you live together if you don't get married?" Li Fei finally couldn't help but glared at Cheng Jiangyi.
"Yes, yes, what Mom said. Then I can rest assured, Xiao Pei should not refuse. Mom, I don't think Xiao Pei's work is too hard. She prefers the job in the research institute. You Say, I'm going to ask the institute if I can let her go back and make her happy with her work, as a wedding gift, okay?"
Li Fei's face sank suddenly, "Ayi, what do you think, how good is Xiaopei's job now, sitting in the office, quiet and clerical work, you also know her because of her work, what's wrong with her now? , what does it mean to be not very excited? Do you know what she is doing in the research institute? Criminal psychological analysis, dealing with those criminals all day long, what a dangerous job. Do you want to marry her or help her with this as a gift? Collect the corpse?"
Cheng Jiangyi finally understood why his family's Xiaopei sometimes spoke inappropriately. It turned out to be following her mother. He smiled and pushed the fruit plate in front of Li Fei again, "Mom, don't worry, that's what I said, it's not a matter of thinking about what method to propose, you know what Xiaopei likes, generally What is romantic or not romantic is useless to her. Practical is more effective. I saw that she is really strong in psychology, and now she is buried in this job. She is very concerned about social news and legal news reports. What I used, I was wronged, and I was wronged, that's what I thought. Don't be upset, Mom, I'll think of another way. "
Li Fei's face slowed down, but it didn't look good either. After that, it was obviously not as happy as when it started. Cheng Jiangyi knew about this temper, no wonder Su Xiaopei couldn't get close to his mother before, both of them had bad tempers. In fact, Cheng Jiangyi felt that his personality was not very good, but for Su Xiaopei and Aiwujiwu, his figure could be kept soft.
A few days later, Cheng Jiangyi came to Li Fei alone, saying that he wanted to see Su Xiaopei's old photos and find out if there were any suitable ones that could be used as a wedding gift. Li Fei was very happy and felt that this prospective son-in-law had a heart. So he took out the old photo album, and Cheng Jiangyi asked the story in the photo while flipping through it.
Li Fei has been alone for so many years, and there are not many friends to talk to. She is close to Su Xiaopei's aunt, but they didn't sit together like this when they looked at photos and talked about the past. Say, the past is a pain. One lost her husband and the other lost her brother. So now Li Fei and Cheng Jiangyi are chatting about the things in the photos, the more they talk, the more they can't hold back their words. Memories are flooding in like a flood. She is sad, but somewhat relieved.
In any case, now that she has brought her daughter up, she has a successful career and will soon start a family. Cheng Jiangyi has a good-looking appearance, a good conversation, and a good career and family background. Most importantly, he treats Su Xiaopei very well and can hold her. Li Fei is quite satisfied.
Cheng Jiangyi listened to Li Fei talking about the things in the photos, but interjected from time to time. He asked about the wedding date, and Li Fei had any requirements. He said that he had told his parents, and the two old men had no opinion. , to see when the parents of the two sides touch each other, and they can talk about the marriage in detail.
"It's about Xiaopei now." Cheng Jiangyi looked down at the photos of Su Xiaopei when he was a child and smiled, then turned to Li Fei and smiled.
Li Fei's heart was warmed by Cheng Jiangyi's smile, and she couldn't help but support him: "You don't have to worry about Xiaopei, what does she disagree with, if she shirks, tell me, and I'll talk to her. You are not too young, it's not that you have no feelings for each other, we all live together, she didn't say hello to the decision she made, I didn't say anything, the person was also chosen by her, and she had no reason not to agree." Having said that, but she thought about it and felt that her daughter was rebellious, and she might have to do anything against her, and her daughter had a special idea since she was a child. "Anyway, you don't have to worry about Xiaopei. I'll talk to your parents about the marriage. Set a date and do what needs to be done."
"Mom, don't worry, I haven't told Xiaopei yet. I also think Xiaopei will agree, that is, I want to do something that will make her happy and moved. Mom also knows that I have a fate with Xiaopei. I almost I couldn't survive, and Xiaopei wrote a book for me, and then we were together. This kind of thing is rare in the world, right?" Cheng Jiangyi smiled softly and was very patient, "Mom, Xiaobian and I are together. Pei is serious, I want to live with her for the rest of my life. We are not only lovers, but also good partners."
Li Fei wanted to dislike a few words of Cheng Jiangyi, this young man's speech is too emotional and too sour, what kind of couple, but she couldn't tell, she was flipping through the photos of Su Jian'an, Su Xiaopei's father, her husband, had been gone for ten years for many years. Companion, she felt a little moved by this word. In the days when she and Su Jianan were young, it seemed that they never had any love affairs, they just got married and lived together. Partner, being a partner is much harder than being a couple. Of course she and Su Jian'an are in love. She hopes to be with him forever, but unfortunately...
"Xiao Pei also has this photo, she put it on the bedside." Cheng Jiangyi pointed to the family photo in Li Fei's handbook, "Xiao Pei really loves her father."
Li Fei nodded, she knew.
"Mom must have deep feelings for Dad." Cheng Jiangyi looked up at Li Fei. Li Fei was a little embarrassed. By looking at the photo, she lowered her head and talked with the younger generation so close to her. She was really not used to it. She should have been like this with her daughter. It's a pity that every time she sees her daughter, she can't help but get angry. Fortunately, their relationship has improved in the past two years. She is also older and doesn't want to go to the end with a feeling of loneliness.
"Xiao Pei told me that Dad is a very good policeman."
Li Fei nodded, Su Jianan is indeed a very good policeman, he is also a very good husband and a very good father. Although he was busy with work and had little time to take care of the family, she knew that he did give all his heart to their mother and daughter. He was a good policeman, he helped many people, he received a lot of praise during his lifetime, and she also received a lot of help after his death. He was a good man, she had to admit, she was proud of him.
Cheng Jiangyi kept looking at Li Fei, and seeing the gentle expression on her face, he asked in a low voice, "Mom, do you mind if Dad is a policeman?"
"Mind, why don't you mind. But if he's not a policeman, then it's not him." Li Fei opened her heart and said softly, "It's great that he's not a policeman, he's not a policeman, and he can still be here now."
"I'm not a policeman, but I almost died, just a little bit." Cheng Jiangyi touched the photo, and when Li Fei turned to look at him, he smiled back. "Life is always full of surprises. After that incident, I thought about it, but it's nothing. The most important thing is to be able to cherish and treat yourself and the people you love well when you are alive."
Li Fei was stunned by what he said, she vaguely knew what he wanted to say, and she didn't answer the question.
"Mom, can you give me this photo? I want to make it a small gift." Cheng Jiangyi didn't seem to care about Li Fei's hesitation and struggle, and took a family photo and asked. It was when Su Xiaopei was one year old, and the three of them were taking pictures. Photos taken in the museum.
Li Fei agreed.
For a few days, Li Fei was thinking about what gift Cheng Jiangyi was going to make, and how would he propose to his daughter? She thought of herself back then, of Su Jian'an's kindness to her, and of what Cheng Jiangyi said, not the police would have accidents, but the most important thing was to cherish it when she was alive. Li Fei recalled the time she lived with Su Jianan at that time. She understood his work. She worked hard to manage the housework, take care of her in-laws, and take care of the children. She has a bad temper, likes to nagging, and she also complains about family affairs. Su Jianan always lets her. This is how they lived. Although they always bickered and bumped into each other, they tolerated each other and understood each other, and their life was very comfortable. This is the day.
companion. Li Fei thought, this word is really appropriate.
Li Fei'ai has been tidying up the house in the past few days. She turned over Su Xiaopei's trophies and certificates from childhood to adulthood. She looked at these and felt very proud. She thought that the next time Cheng Jiangyi came back, she would give these things to her. Cheng Jiangyi looked at it. She also has the heart to show how good and good her daughter is. Her daughter is the best.
"She was buried." This was Cheng Jiangyi's words, and Li Fei shook her head to stop herself from thinking about it.
Two weeks later, Cheng Jiangyi asked Li Fei to meet with his parents. Everyone drank tea together. There was no Su Xiaopei at the table. Cheng Jiangyi said that he had not married Su Xiaopei yet. He wanted to get everything done before telling her. . The parents on both sides have no objection. The conditions of the children are not bad. The house, car and gift money don’t need to be considered. The most important thing is that the children are not too young. If you want to get married, you should hurry up and give birth to a baby as soon as possible. .
Everyone had a great conversation at this meeting. Li Fei and Cheng Jiangyi's mother both brought this old almanac and laughed when they took them out to look for the date together. The old man quickly set a few days, and finally it depends on how Cheng Jiangyi and Su Xiaopei discussed. At this time, Cheng Jiangyi took out two brocade boxes and opened them to see that there were two sets of clay-fired villains, which were the appearance of their two families. Six little people, placed in a box. Cheng Jiangyi gave one box to Li Fei, and another box to his parents.
"This is a gift from Xiaopei and I. I want to say that from now on, we are a family." Cheng Jiangyi smiled and looked left and right, there were his parents and relatives on both sides.
Li Fei bit her lip and was very moved. This villain burns really well, and it's lifelike. Her Su Jian'an is like the Xiang Li in the photo, the young her, snuggling by his side. Cheng Jiangyi's mother put her arm around Li Fei's shoulder and said to her, "Don't worry, Ayi will treat Xiaopei well. I see them both in my eyes, Ayi has never treated anyone like this. I'm sorry, Xiao Pei is a strong-minded, capable child who can handle A Yi, we like her very much."
Li Fei's eyes were hot, she couldn't help laughing, and nodded, she thought so too, Cheng Jiangyi was determined, capable, and could hold Xiaopei. She also feels that these two children are suitable and will live well. In fact, as parents, they ask for nothing more than that.
"Mom." Cheng Jiangyi called out.
The two mothers looked up at him at the same time, and then laughed together, which was really funny. Cheng Jiangyi also smiled, saying the words to Li Fei. "Mom, there's something I still want to discuss with you. It's about Xiaopei's work. I tried it out with her, but she didn't want to change it, she said because you wouldn't agree. But I know she prefers research In the job at the institute, psychological research and application are her strengths and interests, and it is really not suitable for her to be an editor. I have been to the institute and learned about the working conditions there. They do research and do Analytically, the fields of cooperation are very broad, and there is actually no danger. Mom, I love Xiaopei very much. If I knew that there was anything unfavorable to her, I would definitely not do it. But for this job, I still want to help She will fight for you. It is not easy for a person to learn something, and it is not easy to apply what she has learned. Besides, Xiaopei has already made great achievements in this field, and she should not be buried. "
Li Fei didn't expect that he would say this at such a time. She didn't speak. She turned to look at Cheng Jiangyi's parents. They seemed surprised by the topic of their son and didn't speak.
"Mom, I want to spend the rest of my life with Xiaopei. If I can't even do something as simple as making her happy, how can I be her husband. But if you don't agree with this, Xiaopei won't be happy either, then The result is still the same, and I can't pretend that Xiao Pei is very good and satisfied."
Li Fei lowered his eyes, Cheng Jiangyi really could hold Xiao Pei because he had a plan. With so much foreshadowing in front of him, and picking up such an occasion, he said soft words and hard words. What he meant was that if he couldn't make Xiao Pei happy and satisfied, would he not give up? Li Fei sighed in her heart, the marriage was set, and her daughter seemed to be the water that was poured out and belonged to someone else. In fact, she also knew in her heart that it would not be appropriate to control it, but she didn't want to lose face.
"Okay, Mom, Dad, Mom, let's have something to eat. Mom, you can think about this matter. In the end, don't we all listen to you. The most important marriage is now settled, so I'll go get Xiaopei first. , Work is a lifetime thing, let's discuss it slowly."
Before Li Fei could finish her thoughts, Cheng Jiangyi's steps were paved for her. Li Fei couldn't help but smile, this child, he is the one who studied psychology, this is much smoother than his own daughter.
Not long after that, Cheng Jiangyi reported the good news to Li Fei, saying that he and Su Xiaopei had successfully proposed marriage. Every week, he brought Su Xiaopei home to eat and chat with Li Fei.
Afterwards, on the day they received the marriage certificate, Li Fei, in front of Su Xiaopei, asked the head of the research institute, Professor Wang Dan, Su Xiaopei's mentor, if he thought Su Xiaopei could still return to work at the research institute. Wang Dan laughed and said that he had been waiting for her to come back. Li Fei said to Su Xiaopei in a calm tone, "Then go back, do your best, and don't embarrass your father."
Su Xiaopei hugged his mother and burst into tears. She turned around and looked at Cheng Jiangyi, who blinked at her and smiled softly.
He is not only her lover, he is also her partner, so he will try his best to make her happy.
