To middle age

"Okay, I'll come to your house now, I was going to come and talk to your dad more, he helped me last time after all, but since he's going to see an old friend, it'll have to be next time," I said. I said.

"I'll contact Cindy right away, and you guys can come over after work, I've bought all the food," Qujie said.

"Just to be clear, I'm cooking tonight." I was speechless.

"I know I know." Qu Jie was busy promising.

As soon as I hung up the phone, I packed up and left the office. As expected, Cindy called me shortly after, and I told him to wait for her in the parking lot outside the office.

When I arrived at the parking lot, I got into the car and told Zhou Ruoyun that I was going to Qu Jie's house tonight to make peace, and I also told her that I was going on vacation and wanted to take my parents to Hainan province.

Zhou Ruoyun was very happy to hear that and said she would check out the hotel there first.

Just a few minutes later, I saw Li Wenjing.

She wore a professional suit, and her hair was piled high. She is a very elegant white collar woman.

"Cindy, long time no see." I smiled and started the car up.

"Brother Chen, I'm really sorry that I have to bother you about me and Qu Jie." Li Wenjing smiled awkwardly.

"What's the matter, we are all good friends, of course I hope that you and Qu Jie can get together, there is no problem between you, the problem is only his mother, as for Qu Jie's father, from what I know about Secretary Qu, he doesn't have any regional discrimination, and he won't talk about the issue of the hukou," I explained.

"Huh? Secretary Qu?" Li Wenjing looked at me in surprise.

"Yeah, Qu Jie's dad is the district secretary of Pu District, you should know that, right?" I asked.

"Ohhh, I just knew it was the leader of the Pu District, I never thought the official was so big, Chen you never mentioned the background of Qu Jie's family, and Qu Jie didn't say what kind of official his dad is." Li Wenjing responded.

"It's good to know in your heart, besides, Qu Jie doesn't want too many people to know his identity, their family needs to avoid suspicion." I explained.

"Hmm." Li Wenjing nodded her head.

As we drove, Li Wenjing and I chatted, not only about Qu Jie and her affairs, but also about Li Wenjing's current work, and of course, the recent events at work.

In the past 20 minutes, we arrived at Qu Jie's neighborhood, and I didn't drive in the car, but stopped at a parking space outside the neighborhood.

We came to Qu Jie's house with Li Wenjing, and when we walked in the door, we saw Qu Jie busy in the kitchen.

"Oh my, the sun is beating down on the west, you're cooking tonight?" I smiled.

"I'd better do it." Lee was busy talking.

"Cindy, I'm afraid that if you don't do a good job, my mom will be talking again later." Qu Jie smiled awkwardly.

"Qu Jie, in your own home, there is no need to call Wen Jing Cindy, your mother does not like to hear foreign language names, I guess that is one of the reasons why she is not used to it, simply called Wen Jing, besides, Wen Jing should still be good at cooking, she is not you, spoiled and spoiled since childhood." I spoke up.

"I was told by your mother that she had eaten foreign ink for a few years and that it was a great idea to call me Wenjing. Li Wenjing pursed her lips.

"Got it, my Jing Jing." Qu Jie grinned.

"Virtue!" Li Wenjing rolled her eyes, busy going into the kitchen and putting on an apron.

Soon, Li Wenjing began to cook, and as for the rice, Qu Jie had already intervened.

I suddenly felt that Li Wenjing was not only a good wife and mother at work, but also at home.

"Chen, let's go to the balcony and have a smoke." Qu Jie gave me a cigarette. Qu Jie gave me a cigarette, then said.

"OK." I nodded.

When I came to the balcony, Qu Jie opened his mouth and said, "Brother Chen, later my mother will come back, you can be sure to play a roundabout, this in-law relationship is good, I married Wen Jing is not, I am now thinking of Wen Jing, if I can spend my life with her, it's also worth it."

"Finally, you've closed your mind ah, I tell you, to get married before it's too late, don't be a mother-in-law, this time is long time easy to get into trouble, early set, early to move to a new house, this is not quite good, what are you waiting for?" I said.

"That's for sure." Qu Jie nodded.

"Have you gone to meet Li Wenjing's parents?" I asked.

"My side has not been settled yet, how dare I go to meet Wen Jing's parents, but soon, Wen Jing said that her family is in charge and there will be no bride price," Qu Jie explained.

"I know that Wen Jing is an only child, and it's people's business if they don't want the bride price, but you must do things decently.Wen Jing's parents raised Wen Jing with a lot of hard work, and the two old people's earning capacity is low, so maybe they should retire in a few years, so on your side, in private, you have to be in place to save face, and you still have to pay. " I said.

"Huh? You want to give it to me?" Qu Jie was embarrassed.

"Of course, this is all later, when you look at Li Wenjing's family situation, you will decide, now it is your side." I continued. I continued.

"Right." Qu Jie nodded.

After this cigarette, I walked into the living room and smiled as I looked at the seven or eight dishes on the dining table, and just then, there was the sound of the door opening, only to see Qu Jie's mother walk in.

"Auntie!" I was busy coming forward, smiling.

"Aigoo, Nan Chen, what are you doing here, little Chen?" When Qu Jie's mother saw me, she smiled unexpectedly.

"Come to see auntie, auntie, you're welcome, aren't you?" I grinned.

"Of course you're welcome, Xiao Chen, you cook so well, and your uncle was talking about you the other day, saying that you're very smart and thoughtful, and that we, Qu Jie, have a lot to learn from you." Qu Jie's mother said, putting on her slippers and putting her bag on the living room sofa.

"I think you have to take most of the credit, Auntie. Sometimes when I talk to Qu Jie, he's really surprising, and he's got a lot to say. I laughed.

"Aigoo, you don't have to boast, this table, did you make it?" Qu Jie her mother laughed.

"Of course not, it was Wenjing who made it." I said, pointing to the kitchen room, which was already busy with Wenjing Li.

"Hello, Auntie." Wenjing Li smiled.

"Well, hello." Qu Jie's mother was a little upset, as if she was still sulking, but this aspect could not be seen, there was indeed some unhappiness before, Li Wenjing and Qu Jie's mother did not get along well.
