no longer ordinary friends

On Sunday, the grown-up Jiang Li couldn't finish the burger, and Zhou Bingcheng snatched it away without taking two bites. He was like a starved ghost reincarnated, and he didn't dislike her biting it, and finished it in a few bites. .

Jiang Li suppressed his anger: "Are you sick?"

Zhou Bingcheng said, "I'll cook for you."

Jiang Li was not surprised that he could cook. What was surprising was that he wanted to cook for her. He really didn't know what he was pretending to be. When the two of them were hanging out in the hotel, they always ordered takeaway.

Seeing him walking towards the kitchen, she didn't have time to pay attention to him and continued to work on the document.

She has done too much housework since she was a child, so when she is able to make money, she doesn't want to cook and do housework. Her kitchen hasn't been fired much, and her home is relatively messy.

After she had been busy for an hour, she belatedly realized that Zhou Bingcheng had tidied up her refrigerator, discarded expired food, changed garbage bags, prepared meals, and placed an order to buy a batch Fresh vegetables and fruits are neatly arranged in the refrigerator, and even her messy living room has become tidy, and the washing machine in the bathroom is running.

She thought of the dirty clothes she hadn't washed in a few days, and her underwear, and she could only be thankful that she washed them every day.

Wearing an apron, Zhou Bingcheng was tasting the noodle soup. He seemed to have eyes behind his back, and said to her, "Wash your hands and prepare to eat."

Such a scene was a little strange to her.

In her memory, her mother was surrounded by the stove, and her father sat at the table as soon as he came back, waiting for the services of his wife and daughter like a grandpa. Her mother even taught her younger brother: "A man has to do big things, and he doesn't need to cook and do housework." , just find a wife who can cook in the future."

Her first love, Han Jing, comes from a wealthy family, and his ten fingers are not in the sun. He is usually busy with work and can't cook or do housework.

She looked at Zhou Bingcheng's back and felt a slight pain in her heart.

He was actually a very good man, but, not to her.

The Zhou family taught him very well. Unlike her mother, Chengcheng said that Cai Ama often taught her brother: "It's hard to find a wife now. If a man can't cook, he won't have a wife in the future. Your sister can't cook." It doesn't matter, she can find a husband who can cook in the future, but you are different, you know..."

The two sat down to eat noodles, Jiang Li ate in a hurry because there was still work to do.

Zhou Bingcheng couldn't help but said, "I know you're busy, but you always have to take care of your body. How many livers do you have to last through the night like this?"

Seeing her raising her head with cold eyebrows, he immediately said, "I won't talk anymore, I know, you want to make money."

He changed the subject: "Is it delicious? My grandpa taught it. If it's delicious, I'll come and cook for you on my rest day. How about it? I can also clean up for you."

"Thank you, I have takeaway and cleaning." She refused.

"That's not healthy, what I do is healthy."

"I thought we made it clear last night, don't waste each other's time anymore, you are also very busy, flying, regular retraining, training, exams, day and night upside down, how much time do you have to do these trivial things?" she The tone was sarcasm, "Didn't you say every day before that all your fellow pilots want to find a woman who takes care of the family?"

Zhou Bingcheng said: "I didn't think so. I usually say you are too busy. I just worry about your health. You work more than 100 hours a week. You are trying to make money. I was angry last night and said something I shouldn't have said. I want to give you money, not because I look down on you, nor because of other meanings, I just don't want you to work so hard..."

Jiang Li didn't answer him. The two of them had different experiences and couldn't communicate at all.

With him, she sometimes feels too depressed and out of breath, because she likes him, she might as well get back together with Han Jing. More money security for her.

This emotion reached its peak the next day when she learned that her mother was making a fuss at Meimei's canteen.

She worked until two o'clock last night, got up early to go to the office for a morning meeting, and rushed to the project site. She drank four or five cups of coffee a day to refresh herself. The lack of sleep and the stimulation of caffeine made her heart ache. But her mother is still going crazy in her hometown, she still has so much work on her hands that needs her to do.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, she saw herself in the mirror, embarrassed, pale and tired. Suddenly, she didn't know what the meaning of her hard work was. For a moment, the extreme thought of giving up flashed in her mind. It would be fine to jump off, and everything would be fine. It's all over.

Then, she lowered her eyes and saw Zhou Bingcheng coming out of the coffee shop downstairs.

He was on the phone, looking up upstairs, her phone was vibrating.

It took her a long time to answer.

He also seemed very tired: "Jiang Li, let's talk, can you? Are you because of your mother? If so, can you listen to my explanation before killing me? Before the judge sentenced the death penalty, he defended the suspect. Opportunity, Lawyer Jiang."

Zhou Zhicheng still has another person to help, Su Zhicheng.

She briefly introduced him to Jiang Xianghuai: "He was caught in a fight. He was 17 years old, and he was 16 years old when he came in."

Su Zhicheng scratched his head. His hair is very short now, without the handsome and long hair he had before, so he can't shake his head to look handsome. He narrowed his eyes, pretending to be an adult, and said with a stuck voice, "Lawyer Zhou, please Pay attention, I am not fighting, I am a well-known bigwig on East High Street, and I made a great sacrifice for the honor of the gang."

Zhou Zhicheng looked at him silently: "You still dare to talk like that? Be careful not to be heard by the instructor, and you will be punished again. Forgot to copy the self-criticism last time?"

Su Zhicheng sneered inscrutablely: "How dare such an idiot be compared with the old man?"

Seeing that Zhou Zhicheng was going to call the police officer over, he immediately changed his face and begged for mercy: "Oh, I was just joking, Lawyer Zhou, I have reformed and studied hard, and now I understand very well that fighting is wrong behavior! Take a look at our performance red list, my name is on it."

"Then what have you learned recently?"

"I've learned a lot, and I've studied hard, and I can make Chinese knots." Su Zhicheng wanted to ask another question, "Lawyer Zhou, did my parents say when they will come to see me again?"

Zhou Zhicheng avoided answering directly: "I'll ask them for you tomorrow."

"Forget it, my mother remarried and just gave birth to a younger sister, so I probably don't have time." He said, but his eyes were a little lost. "My father has gone to work in other places, so he can't come to see me."

Zhou Zhicheng knew about his family's situation and didn't know how to comfort him, so he changed the subject with a smile and asked him, "Have you met any new friends?"

"Yes, he is from out of town. He hasn't studied for a long time. He came in because of a fight. He is as loyal as me. However, he said that he didn't study because he was too poor. Our prison area has classes every day. He took a lot of notes during the lectures, and he cherishes the time he can study quietly now, so I felt a little guilty and studied with him."

Su Zhicheng mentioned this new friend, and his mood improved again: "Sister Chengcheng, do you think I can become a veterinarian in the future? Last month you asked us to think about the profession we want to do in the future. I originally wanted to learn like you Legal, I want to be a judge, but some people say that we will leave a criminal record and not be able to take the exam for civil servants."

He also figured it out: "I made mistakes and it's normal, but I like small animals. What do you think of becoming a veterinarian in the future?"

"Of course it's good."

He suddenly thought of something, and he was a little angry: "Guess what Zheng Xuyang's brother said? I studied veterinary medicine, and I was going to stay in the pet hospital in the city as a doctor, but he said that I should be breeding sows in the village, and they all laughed Now, if you see me, call me a sow."

Zhou Zhicheng smiled lightly: "Do you prefer to be in a pet hospital?"

"No, I haven't figured it out yet."

"You still have time to think about it later, but in my opinion, treating pets in the city and breeding sows in the village are both great veterinarians. Pets need doctors. Dogs need doctors too."

Su Zhicheng's voice was softer: "You will be looked down upon in the village, and you should dream big."

"Then will you look down on me? Being a lawyer in the village..."

"Of course not." Su Zhicheng retorted immediately.

"So others won't look down on the village veterinarian." Zhou Zhicheng smiled, "Next time I will bring two older brothers and one older sister to see you. They are all lovely."

Su Zhicheng nodded and looked at Jiang Xianghuai: "Is he also a lawyer?"

Jiang Xianghuai also nodded.

Su Zhicheng was curious: "You are not our local, where are you from?"

"North City."

Su Zhicheng suddenly realized, and looked at him with pitiful eyes: "It seems that it's hard to find a job in the city, so it doesn't matter if I give injections to sows in our village, people from Beicheng have come to our county to become lawyers. "

Zhou Zhicheng was busy until the evening before leaving the police office. When he got his phone, Zhou Bingcheng had almost killed her phone, and sent a bunch of messages: "Why didn't you answer your brother's call, and Jiang Xianghuai didn't Then, where did you two go?"

"Forget it, go back and clean you up."

"I'm on the plane."

"See you in three hours."

Zhou Zhicheng knew that he was coming back to deal with Jiang Li's affairs, but he deliberately said coolly: "Back again? It seems that you were really fired."

He should be on the plane and didn't reply immediately.

When they came back, the two followed the car of the program group and quickly returned to the county seat.

On the way, He Yanming had already told her about the situation. Jiang Li's mother was making a fuss on purpose. She didn't know what the brain circuit was like. It seemed that the more people there were, the more excited she was, and she didn't feel ashamed or embarrassing at all.

Zhou Zhicheng saw Jiang Li's mother sitting on a small stool at the entrance of the canteen from a long distance, surrounded by grandpas and grandma who were idle and gossiping. : "That's true... Zhou Bingcheng is not kind this week."

"How can Jiang Li marry? The Zhou family must give an explanation."

"You too, didn't you teach Jiang Li girls to love themselves and protect themselves?"

Cai Mei has been scolding all afternoon, and now she is tired, so she rolled up her sleeves and went to work first, and had no time to talk to these people.

Zhou Guohua said in one sentence: "I don't know about young people's affairs. He will solve it himself when Zhou Bingcheng comes back." He put down his reading glasses, leisurely flipped the abacus beads, and continued to settle accounts.

Cai Lan can be regarded as able to see Cai Mei's jokes, she thinks this is all retribution, who made Cai Mei laugh at her family Lin Tao some time ago?

With a disgusted expression on her face, she tutted loudly: "Oh, you really know people and face but don't know what you're thinking. No wonder Zhou Bingcheng didn't get married at such a young age. So he was messing around with men and women. Jiang Li won't be pregnant, right?"
