She is a heartthrob who wants to live a good life

Chapter 443 The Greedy Little Country Girl 23

Pei Jingche did not deny: "My father is in the army and can't come home for several months. My mother works in the hospital and is very busy."

Zhou Jinjun frowned:

"Jing Che, to be honest, I like you very much, but what's going on between you and Cang Cang is a major event in life, and it can't just be done if two people are willing. What's the saying, parents decide, matchmaker decides."

He didn't believe that Pei Jingche's parents were as simple as they told him. The more Pei Jingche avoided the topic, the more vigilant he became.

"Uncle, this is a new society that advocates freedom of marriage and love," Pei Jingche said in a gentle but firm voice, "and my parents are very open-minded."

Zhou Jinjun felt something was a little strange. The topic seemed to have strayed into something he was trying to avoid:

"Will your parents be interested in a peasant family like us? Jing Che, even if marriage and love are free, you don't have to make your family unhappy when you find a partner."

Pei Jingche smiled lightly: "Uncle, what are you talking about? What's wrong with being a farmer? My grandfather was also from a farmer's family, and my father was also a child of a farmer's family."

"How can it be the same..."

Zhou Jinjun talked to himself.

"Uncle, I promise you with all the honors I have received since joining the army that my parents will not be an obstacle to my marriage."

Shen Weicang suddenly snorted: "What marriage and love? Who wants to marry you?"

She glanced at him sideways and said, "A professor came to the village yesterday and told me that many people in the city are getting married in their twenties. I'm only eighteen, which is not the best time to get married."

professor?

Pei Jingche didn't take it seriously. Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but ask with a smile on his face: "What professor?"

Just as Shen Weicang was about to answer, Zhou Jinjun answered, "Oh, it's the professor..."

He heard footsteps in the yard. He looked outside and vaguely saw two figures through the door curtain.

"Wow--"

Shi Cuiyun lifted the door curtain, and Zhou Jinjun first saw her embarrassed expression, and then saw Cheng Qinji with an anxious look on her face.

"Cang Cang, what's wrong with you? Shall I take you to the hospital for a checkup?"

Pei Jingche heard the familiar voice, turned his head and frowned: "Qin Ji?"

Cheng Qinji also widened his eyes: "Brother Jing Che, why are you here?"

Zhou Jinjun was holding Shi Cuiyun in front of the door and they were eye-to-eye. Shi Cuiyun had no choice. When Cheng Qinji heard her say that Cang Cang was not feeling well and could not go to the department store with him today, she became very anxious and insisted on coming to see him at home.

This man is really thick-skinned. Even after she said that, he just blushed and still insisted on coming home.

Hearing the two people's voices, Zhou Jinjun looked over in surprise: "Jing Che, do you know this Mr. Cheng?"

Cheng Qinji said "hmm": "He is a friend of mine."

He put Pei Jingche aside for the moment and looked at Shen Weicang: "Cangcang, what's wrong with you? Shall I take you to the hospital?"

Just now he drove to the entrance of the village and saw Shi Cuiyun standing there from a distance. He thought she was there to pick him up, but he didn't expect that as soon as the car stopped, she came over and said that Cang Cang was sick today.

Cheng Qinji was shocked. How could she be sick? Was it because it was too hot yesterday and she had heatstroke?

He was anxious to come and take a look, but he could see that Shi Cuiyun didn't really want him to come.

But how could he feel at ease if he didn't come to see Cang Cang when he was sick?

Finally, Shi Cuiyun seemed to have no other choice but to tell him that Cang Cang was having her period, and she had a stomachache and felt uncomfortable all over.

Cheng Qinji's face turned red on the spot, but he was still worried about her. In the end, Shi Cuiyun couldn't resist him and came back with him.

Shen Weicang looked puzzled: "When did I say I was not feeling well? I'm fine."

Shi Cuiyun wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into, and she and Zhou Jinjun both hung their heads.

Pei Jingche had probably guessed something, but didn't expose it: "Qin Ji, Cang Cang is fine, maybe it was a misunderstanding, you haven't said anything yet, why are you here?"

Cheng Qinji looked at Shen Weicang's face carefully. He was shocked when he saw her with her hair loose just now, and thought she was so uncomfortable that she didn't have the energy to comb her hair.

At this moment, he realized it belatedly and looked at Pei Jingche: "I followed Zhu Yanfeng to do his research. Brother Jingche, aren't you in the army? Are you on leave?"

Pei Jingche's troops are in the provincial capital, which is not very close to here. Why did he come here?

He's not wearing a military uniform, so he must be on leave. Why would he come here instead of going home?

Cheng Qinji stared at Pei Jingche and said, "Brother Jingche, why didn't you tell your family that you were going on vacation?"

Shen Weicang looked back and forth between the two of them, and she really guessed it right, these two people really knew each other.

She said that Pei Jingche's father was in the army and Cheng Qinji's father also died as a soldier, so the two would not know each other.

What kind of luck is this?

Pei Jingche responded indifferently: "I told my family."

Cheng Qinji was choked. Pei Jingche must have told the Pei family about his vacation. What did it have to do with him? He must have been crazy to ask such a question.

"You know Cang Cang?" He forced a smile, "It just so happens that Cang Cang and I have an appointment to go shopping at the department store today. Brother Jing Che, you came at such an unfortunate time."

He glanced at the dazzling array of gifts on the table, and knew without a doubt what Pei Jingche was here for, but he could not imagine how Pei Jingche and Cang Cang knew each other.

Pei Jingche looked at Shen Weicang: "Cangcang, do you want to go to the department store? I'll take you there after I finish talking to my uncle and aunt."

Cheng Qinji panicked when she heard this: "If you want to talk about something, then I'll take Cang Cang out to play first. What do you want to talk about?"

He spoke without thinking and wanted to take Cang Cang out to prevent Pei Jingche from reaching the conclusion of the talk. However, he also felt that with his personality, even if Cang Cang was not there, he would not forget what he wanted to say to his elders.

No, Cheng Qinji calmed down. With just a few things on the table, it didn't look like they were going to discuss marriage.

As long as they weren't talking about marriage, Cheng Qinji felt a little relieved.

"Whatever we talk about has nothing to do with you," Pei Jingche glanced at him lightly.

"You came at the wrong time today. Aren't you supposed to follow Zhu Yanfeng? Why did you sneak out to play? I'll tell your uncle when we get back to the capital."

In the past, when Pei Jingche spoke to him like this, Cheng Qinji would feel scared. After all, he admired him very much and he cared a lot about Pei Jingche's evaluation of him.

Pei Jingche has been a perfect child since he was young. Whether in study or interpersonal relationships, he has always been a role model for his peers. He even inspired several people to join the army when he joined.

Cheng Qinji also thought about following him to join the army, but the Cheng family did not allow it.

He made a fuss several times, but his family was determined not to let him go, so he finally gave up the idea. After all, he didn't really yearn for the military camp, he just admired Pei Jingche.

But now it's different. Facing Pei Jingche, although Cheng Qinji is still a little unconfident, she still can't avoid Pei Jingche's sharp eyes: "Then let's talk about it when you return to the capital."

It would be best to go back to the capital now.
