C379 Their Hearts Were Broken
"It's possible that I'm going to work outside of the city and might not go home often." Qin Feng put down the chopsticks in his hand.
"Aren't you in the city now? Don't you always come back?" The old man asked in confusion, "Do you want to go further?"
"It is not too far, but I think you will not come back often in the future." Qin Feng looked at Zhou Ningmeng. "Ningmeng is pregnant now. She wants my mother to live in the county town. She can take care of me."
"This matter. Your mom and I have already discussed it with each other." The old man took a sip of the good wine Qin Feng brought. "The wheat will be collected soon. After the wheat is collected, I have to go out to work. When the time comes, your mother will go to your place."
"Child, where are you going? Why do you have to be back for a long time?" As a mother, she always placed her children first.
"It's possible. I have to go to Lanshan County to work." Qin Feng's words did not sound confident at all.
"Lanshan County?" The old man and the old woman looked at Qin Feng with their mouths wide open when they heard what Qin Feng said.
"Why are you going there?" The old woman suddenly became anxious. "Although Mom is not cultured, she plays all day on TV. I heard that Lanshan County is the poorest. Why did you think of going there? Did you make a mistake and get punished by the boss?"
"Mom, no." Zhou Ningmeng, who was eating chicken drumsticks, saw this and quickly came out. "The main thing is that Qin Feng wants to do something. However, if it's in a place like Baodong County, You all know about the situation in Baodong County. It would be extremely difficult to be the boss of a town here. Even if the boss's secretary came, he would at most be the boss of the Party Committee. Then there would be the County Committee Chairman, the secretary of the boss of Inspection Team like Qin Feng. He wouldn't be able to touch it after coming here, but it would be different if he went to a place like Lanshan County...
The two old men still didn't understand what was going on. However, one thing was already confirmed: their own child wasn't chased away, but asked to go there on his own initiative. Understanding this, the old couple's hearts were at ease. As for wanting to do something, that was what the old couple wanted to see. At that moment, they did not say anything. However, they were still worried about their son. After all, the TV always showed how poor Lanshan County was. On normal days, everyone would hear about it. It was a very simple example. All the girls there wanted to marry here and be their wives, but there were a lot of young men who couldn't get a wife. It was just a simple sentence. One could tell whether the other side was rich or poor.
"Do you really have no other choice if you want to do something?" The old lady was still unwilling to accept this reality.
"Mom, don't worry. Besides, I'm just saying that it's possible. Everything hasn't been settled yet. Something happened in the city a while ago. It's still a mess now, and I'm afraid it won't be settled for a while. The reason I'm bringing it up now is to prepare you mentally. "In case you panic when the time comes..."
"Then you should try again and try not to go to that place." The old lady's heart ached for her son. There was nothing to say. In her opinion, even if she did not do work, she could not go to that place to suffer.
"What do you know, old woman?" The old man was still more understanding than the old woman. "My son wants to do something. What are you stopping him for? Just listen to him. When the time comes, you can go to the county town to accompany your wife so that your son can work there without worry."
"You..." Looking at the old man, the old lady swallowed the last half of her sentence. Now that she was guarding her daughter-in-law, the old lady could still give her husband some face. Otherwise, she would not have let him say this conclusive sentence.
"Mom, it's really okay." Grandma was still a little worried. Zhou Ningmeng smiled and said, "Think about it. In this day and age, how can a cadre suffer? When he goes there, he can arrange for a small boss. He is already a boss, can he still suffer?"
"That's true." Hearing Zhou Ningmeng say so, the old lady seemed to come back to her senses. "Even an ordinary village cadre in our town is still arrogant and boastful."
"So, Mom, be careful. I will definitely be fine if I go there. When I go there, I will be fine. "His position must be higher than that of a village cadre!" Qin Feng also hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.
Even if he is a cadre, that place is so remote. Sigh... "The old lady sighed." Let's go then. I am old. I can't be bothered. You young people's matters, do as you see fit!"
"You old lady, you really think you are someone important." The old man would not let go of an opportunity to do so. "When have you ever taken care of Qin Feng's matters? From being a soldier to working, " Have you been worried about that? "
"Why don't I worry about it?" Hearing that, the old lady became a little angry. How could she care that her daughter-in-law was right beside her? Tell me what you care about. You work outside all day. I'm the only one working inside and outside the house. Is it easy for me?"
"Mom and Dad, calm down. What's the big deal?" Qin Feng saw that the fight was about to break. He kicked Zhou Ningmeng lightly and gave her a look.
"Mom, don't be angry. You and Dad have different roles. Dad goes out to earn money, and you deal with these chores at home. No one can leave you. We are eating now, so let's not talk about those things first, okay?" As she spoke, Zhou Ningmeng quickly picked up a chopstick and placed it in the bowl for her mother-in-law.
On the other side, Qin Feng also quickly poured wine for the old man.
Since their son and daughter-in-law had come forward, the two of them naturally could not cause any more trouble. They just gave a simple snort and then ignored each other.
This matter was stirred up!
Qin Feng shook his head with a bitter smile. He quickly ate the last few grains of rice in his bowl. "I'm full. Go to sleep for a while. You guys eat slowly."
He went into his room and fell down. Qin Feng started to think about his future. Although the matter of going to Lanshan County was still unknown, he had already decided to go down to the county. At that time, he would definitely ask for his opinion. Should he really go to Lanshan County or find a town with good conditions?
For a moment, Qin Feng couldn't make up his mind.
"Qin Feng." Just as Qin Feng was about to fall asleep, Zhou Ningmeng walked in.
"Ningmeng, you should sleep too." Qin Feng opened his tired eyes and patted his side.
"Do what you have decided. I support you." Zhou Ningmeng sat on the edge of the bed and held Qin Feng's hand.
"Ningmeng, we don't know what's going on over there right now. I'm worried that when the time comes..." Qin Feng leaned to the side.
"If you're a man, you have to go out and explore. You absolutely can't be afraid of your hands and feet." Zhou Ningmeng laid down next to Qin Feng. "If you don't go out when you're young, when you're old, where will you get the chance?"
"I didn't mean that. I am mainly worried about you." Qin Feng touched Zhou Ningmeng's abdomen which had not yet bulged.
"It's okay. Even a woman can give birth." Zhou Ningmeng squeezed into Qin Feng's arms. "Didn't Lin Xuemei not have you by her side?"
Qin Feng's face turned red. At the same time, he felt guilty. That's right. When Lin Xuemei was pregnant, he did not stay by her side for a day. Now, Zhou Ningmeng was also pregnant. Am I still unable to stay by my side? Could it be that this was an invisible punishment from the heavens?
"No, Ningmeng, I'm not going." Thinking of this, Qin Feng blurted out. What he said was unusually firm.
"Why not?" Ningmeng asked. Zhou Ningmeng was surprised by Qin Feng's change in attitude.
"Lin Xuemei's incident has a precedent. I can't let you have the same experience again." Qin Feng held Zhou Ningmeng tightly. "Business is important, but it is still family that will accompany you for the rest of your life. I can't let you be alone anymore. I can't let you suffer like Lin Xuemei. If that is the case, I will never feel at ease for the rest of my life."
"Qin Feng." Zhou Ningmeng felt that her tears were about to flow down, but she did not want to live up to her expectations. Zhou Ningmeng finally managed to hold it in. She knew. "Qin Feng! If you really come back and stay with me, I'll really look down on you. As a man, how could he be tied up by these trivial things in his life all day long? Admittedly, protecting the family is right. However, he could not devote all his attention to this. Especially when you're so young, if you put all your focus on your family, Then you'll be wasted.
At the end of her sentence, Zhou Ningmeng was a little anxious.
"But I really don't want you to be like Lin Xuemei. Without me by my side, I am afraid..." Before Qin Feng could finish his sentence, Zhou Ningmeng covered his mouth.
"Don't you still have Mom? I am not alone," Zhou Ningmeng quickly said. "Don't worry. I will definitely be fine here."
"Then I..." Qin Feng wanted to say something, but the phone in his pocket suddenly started to sing. He took it and looked at it. Qin Feng was a little embarrassed. Lin Xuemei's name was jumping on it. He was guarding Zhou Ningmeng. Qin Feng did not know whether to answer the phone or not.
"What's wrong? Is it inconvenient? Why don't I give way?" Zhou Ningmeng said with jealousy.
"No, no." Qin Feng shook his head. "I was wondering why she called at this time. Is Mr. Lin looking for me?"
"You are beautiful. Just make it up. Humph." Zhou Ningmeng turned her head around in anger. "He is a big boss. Why would he look for you? Dream on. I was hoping to hear the other party's words as soon as possible, but I am still trying my best to pretend that it is not a big deal. Are you tired?! Alright, I'll get out of the way. "Hurry up and pick it up. Remember to call me when you're done with your sweet talk."
Zhou Ningmeng was about to get up after she finished speaking.
Qin Feng did not say anything, but his hands tightened and hugged Zhou Ningmeng tightly. His hand had already pressed the answer button. "Hello!"
"Qin Feng, where are you now?" Lin Xuemei was Lin Xuemei. Qin Feng immediately realized that Lin Xuemei might be with Zhou Ningmeng when he did not answer the phone. This sounded very business-like, but... It was not unpleasant to hear the sour taste in his words, after all. To a certain extent, Lin Xuemei was also Qin Feng's woman. It was sad for a woman to pretend to call her man.
"I'm at home. What's wrong?" Qin Feng was relieved. Although Zhou Ningmeng already knew about the two of them, women's nature was full of jealousy. Therefore, Qin Feng hoped that Lin Xuemei would be able to tell that it was inconvenient for him to speak now. It was best not to speak those sentimental words.
