The sky was very dark, and the rain outside seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and the whole world was shrouded in a haze. The photosensitive control street lights had already been lit, and most of the passing vehicles had their lights on.
It is still some distance from Ji's house to Su Chen's apartment, and it will take a lot of time to pass through the downtown area.
The two of them didn't talk much along the way, and Su Chen was also holding the steering wheel steadily, staring at the front intently, the temperature inside the car was very warm.
Turning through traffic lights, Su Chen finally turned his head and glanced at the woman beside him. Seeing that she had been silent, she had been silently looking at the back of the chair resting with her eyes closed. as silent--
"Reluctant?"
When we parted with Ji's couple just now, although he didn't see her say a few words, he could still catch some reluctance in her eyes, but he also knew that this woman had always been very repressed towards him. Even if you care, you may not show it clearly.
The sudden voice also made Ji Zitong pause for a moment with his eyes closed, and then he opened his eyes and looked towards him. Naturally, he could understand the meaning of his words, so he replied quietly, "Why don't you give up?" Yes, it’s not like I won’t see you in the future, just go back and have a look.”
After she finished speaking, she didn't turn her head to look out of the car window. It was already dark outside, and the car happened to pass by the road outside the square. When she saw it, the big clock standing high on it pointed to half past five.
Su Chen's deep eyes glanced at her, then focused on the road ahead, and did not continue to speak. After a while, Ji Zitong himself explained, "I am not a very family-loving person. When I was young, I always wanted to go far away and leave the city to see outside. Later, I felt a little tired, so I came back here. My parents have never left here in my life. For me, here is More or less, a little concerned."
"You are very courageous. A little woman is willing to run so far."
Su Chen suddenly remembered that when she participated in the training camp, the appearance of this woman was always unyielding, enthusiastic, and positive. Be calm and sophisticated.
"I remember when you came to the army that year, you weren't even twenty years old, right?"
Su Chen asked.
Asked by him, Ji Zitong also tilted his head and thought for a while, some distant memories also broke through the sealed dust, trying to recover——
"Well, I was young and willful at that time, and I did many things impulsively after thinking about them. However, I have never regretted it. At least I fought for it myself. The reason why I made such a choice was not only because of who, but also because of Myself, going to the military for a lot of people, it can transform a person."
Ji Zitong's plain voice was full of nostalgia, she raised her hand and rubbed her slightly sore brows, and continued, "I remember you and Mu Dong and the others also stayed in it together?"
Hearing this, Su Chen suddenly smiled, glanced at her quietly, and said in a soft tone, "How can it be the same, we are men and you are women, the old men in our family think that boys need to hone their will, So in the beginning, the obstacles that we have to go through on the so-called growth path are all paved. But girls are different, like my sister, she is the one who is loved at home, and I can't compare to her."
Hearing what he said, Ji Zitong raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Is your Su family patriarchal?"
"No, isn't it important to raise sons poorly and raise daughters richly now? That's probably what it means. After all, what I have to bear is different from Achenzimo and the others. What kind of experience can hone people the most?" Willpower, I'm afraid it's the years spent in the military academy and field troops."
At this moment, the two of them felt a lot more relaxed when they chatted about this, and the silence just now was gone.
"Actually, I don't think you are like those rich kids. Director Mu is a very nice person. He has been with Director Xi for a long time. I am surprised to see how they get along with each other."
"Have you been in City B for the past few years? After the unhappiness at the time, I sent someone to look for you."
At the beginning, when everyone had a bad fight, Su Chen was a little upset, and he wanted to ask her for some advice, but he didn't seem to find anyone later.
"Not long after the training camp, I went on a mission with the army. I only stayed for two years... After leaving the army, I moved around in several cities in the north and found several jobs, but they didn't last long. Later, I Mom is not in good health, so I just returned to City B, and I stayed there for many years, until now, I have been muddling along."
Ji Zitong briefly talked about those scattered and unpleasant memories, she didn't really want to bring them up.
"In the future, you can continue to run your flower shop. If you feel bored, you can ask Mom to teach you how to run the business. The atmosphere in her company is also good. I can't help. My sister also runs a clothing store and doesn't want to go to Mom's company. , you go over to help her and make her feel a little bit like her own, and there's nothing wrong with that."
Although the Su family is a typical family member in the political circle, many of them are very clear that when Su Zhengxun from the Su family married Xie Jiajia from the Xie family, it was considered a typical wealthy marriage. At that time, compared with now, they seemed to pay more attention to the right marriage.
After Su Chen said this, Ji Zitong didn't reply, and the car fell silent again.
"Don't worry, mom, she's a bit strange, but she's kind-hearted by nature, not difficult to get along with, just a little..."
Thinking of his mother Xie Jiajia, Su Chen frowned helplessly at this moment. Seeing that his words had suddenly stopped, Ji Zitong turned to look at him and saw a trace of hesitation in his brows. After thinking for a while, he said softly, "What's the matter? Are you worried that I won't get along with her?"
Su Chen shook his head lightly, and coughed lightly, "No, Mom is a bit of a princess. Dad often said that she is quite old and hasn't matured yet. When you get along with her, you will understand."
Princess disease
Ji Zitong frowned, and looked at Su Chen inexplicably.
"Grandpa, you have seen it before. Dad looks very serious, but he is still very humble at home. You don't have to worry about this..."
Su Chen briefly explained the situation at home to Ji Zitong, and gave a general introduction. After a while, the car also slowly drove into the apartment complex.
"Here we are, get out of the car."
Su Chen parked the car in the garage and got out of the car neatly.
