Chapter 1369: First Date, Yao Yuling Is Surprised

On the train from Harbin to Ningyang, Zhou Chen left a deep impression on Peng Yongli, and she had a great liking for him.

Not long ago, she met Zhou Chen again in the railway compound, and learned a lot about Zhou Chen from Ma Yan. This made her, who was just beginning to fall in love, more interested in Zhou Chen. Otherwise, it was just a matter of picking up tickets, and there was no need for the two to meet in the park. She even agreed to go to the movies with Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen pushed his bicycle and walked on the road with Peng Yongli.

Zhou Chen looked natural and relaxed, but Peng Yongli was not as calm as Zhou Chen, and she was always nervous.

This was her first time dating a person of the opposite sex alone. She didn't know why she became so bold, but she was sure that she didn't hate this feeling, she was just nervous.

"This place is far from the cinema. If we walk all the way there, it will take a long time. I'd better ride you there?"

Zhou Chen took the initiative to speak, and since Peng Yongli decided to go to the movies with Zhou Chen, she naturally wouldn't refuse because of this, and nodded with a little shyness.

"Okay."

So, Peng Yongli sat on the back seat of Zhou Chen's bicycle. After Zhou Chen started, she was afraid of instability, but she didn't dare to hug Zhou Chen, so she held Zhou Chen's clothes with both hands to stabilize herself.

Zhou Chen rode the bicycle steadily, and there were no bumps along the way, which made Peng Yongli gradually relax.

"Lili, I don't know what major you studied in college?"

"I studied Chinese. My dad said that it would be good to be a teacher or a literary editor in the future, or I could take the civil service exam and do a clerical job."

"Oh, uncle's consideration makes sense. These are relatively easy and respectable professions."

"My dad just can't bear to see me suffer."

Peng Yongli was happy and distressed. Young people of this age are more or less rebellious. Although they know that their father is for their own good, they still feel that they can't make their own decisions.

On the way, the simple and innocent Peng Yongli seemed to open up and told Zhou Chen a lot of her own things.

During the conversation with her, Zhou Chen also knew about her family situation.

Peng Yongli's mother passed away when she was very young, and she grew up with her father. Because Peng Mingjie had a good job and the prison had money, she didn't live a life of luxury, but at least she had enough food and clothing, and she lived a better life than most Chinese people.

It was also because he had only his daughter as a relative, so Peng Mingjie protected her very well, which was a good thing, but it also made Peng Yongli a little willful and self-centered. She was also simple in character and didn't have any ulterior motives. She was the kind of person who was easily confused by appearances.

After talking about her own situation, Peng Yongli also asked Zhou Chen some questions. Although she had heard a lot about Zhou Chen from Ma Yan, Ma Yan's understanding was limited, and she wanted to know more.

She was at the age of first love, and she had a great liking for Zhou Chen, as well as a little admiration, so she wanted to know more and get closer to Zhou Chen.

They were already college students, so it seemed that it was not impossible to fall in love.

Zhou Chen talked about his own situation, and the two talked and laughed, and soon came to the cinema.

The movie theaters of this era are naturally incomparable to those of decades later. The screen quality is much worse. There are no special effects at all, and it depends entirely on the plot.

Zhou Chen felt it was boring, but Peng Yongli watched it very seriously. Even though she was a college student, she had only watched a few big-screen movies.

After watching the movie, Zhou Chen invited Peng Yongli to have a meal at the restaurant, and sent her back to school after dark.

When they arrived at the school gate, Peng Yongli said to Zhou Chen seriously: "Zhou Chen, thank you today."

Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said warmly: "No need to thank me, we are friends, aren't we? The ticket I bought for you is the one I am responsible for. If you have any problems when you get on the bus, you can still come to me."

"Yeah."

Peng Yongli looked happy. After saying goodbye to Zhou Chen, she turned around and entered the school gate. After entering, she turned around and waved to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen also waved at her, and then turned around and rode away.

After returning home, Zhou Chen started to get busy. Cai Xiaonian was getting married. Although he didn't give any advice, he agreed to help and prepared to make four legs, that is, a table.

He didn't go to buy it, but planned to use his wood carving skills to make a table for Cai Xiaonian. The materials were ready and he could start at any time.

Two days later, Zhou Chen came to the station early. He first checked the train, and then got off to maintain order. When it was time to get on the train, he maintained order with Yu Xingguo and others and led the passengers to board the train.

"Zhou Chen."

Suddenly there was a crisp voice, Zhou Chen turned his head and saw Peng Yongli looking at him with a smile, and Peng Mingjie with her.

"Uncle, Lili, you are here."

Peng Mingjie looked at her and said calmly: "I heard from Lili that she was able to buy the ticket this time thanks to your help. Thank you very much."

Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Uncle, you are too polite. You are Uncle Ma's friend, and Uncle Ma is my elder. Buying a ticket is just a small matter."

Peng Mingjie had a complicated expression. He and his daughter have been dependent on each other for many years and he knows his daughter best. He can see that his daughter's attitude towards Zhou Chen is different. She kept talking about Zhou Chen all the way to the station, so he felt very complicated.

Although he had long known that his daughter would have such a day sooner or later, he still felt very uncomfortable when something really happened. This was a little cabbage that he had raised by himself.

From the words of Ma Kui and his daughter, he could also tell that Zhou Chen was a very good and promising young man.

But no matter how good and promising he is, in his eyes, she is not as good as his daughter. His daughter is a college student, well-behaved, smart, quiet and elegant...

There are so many advantages that I can’t even count them.

The most important thing is that his daughter is still young, less than twenty, and he really can't bear to let his daughter find a partner so quickly.

With mixed feelings, Peng Mingjie and his daughter boarded the train together and arrived at the sleeper carriage. Zhou Chen bought them bunk beds together, which was relatively more convenient.

Not long after the train started, Peng Yongli said to Peng Mingjie: "Dad, I'm going to the dining car at the back to do my homework."

Peng Mingjie frowned: "There is a table here, so just write here."

Peng Yongli said coquettishly: "Dad, it's too noisy here, and there are so many people coming and going, I can't calm down. There are fewer people in the dining car, so be quiet."

"Hmm."

Peng Mingjie snorted softly and said, "I see it's not only quiet over there, but more importantly, who else is there?"

Peng Yongli's face suddenly turned red: "Dad, where did you think you were? I just want to find a quiet place to do my homework."

"Okay, okay, I understand, go ahead, go ahead."

She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but after all, she loved her daughter, so Peng Mingjie didn't stop her.

He was also someone who had been here before. Looking at his daughter like this, he knew that she already had a different feeling for Zhou Chen.

However, he made a decision in his heart. When he comes to Ningyang next time, he must find Ma Kui and inquire about Zhou Chen. If Zhou Chen is really good, it is not impossible to consider it. After all, it is definitely possible to find someone who knows the basics. It's better than finding someone you don't know.

When Peng Yongli came to the dining car, Zhou Chen was talking to Lu Hongxing, and they were talking about Cai Xiaonian's marriage.

Cai Xiaonian followed everyone's advice and went to Tang Yanhong's house again to discuss it. However, his mother-in-law said a few words and ran back in despair.

"This young man, even though he is very talkative in the car, he is really useless when meeting his future mother-in-law. She will be taken advantage of."

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Good things take a long time. It's better to let them work together more now than to make noise after they get married."

Lu Hongxing looked surprised: "Oh, you kid doesn't even have a partner, yet you can still say such reasonable things."

"I've never eaten pork, but I've seen pigs running around."

"It's not rough to say that, but this kid, well, it's not easy for his parents to find a wife for him. Fortunately, I think his partner is pretty good and can live a good life. As long as he meets their requirements, he can get married this year. By then, our compound will be lively."

Cai Xiaonian is Lu Hongxing's apprentice. These days, the relationship between master and apprentice is still very important, so he is also very concerned about Cai Xiaonian's marriage.

"Zhou Chen, you are about the same age as Xiaonian. He is about to get married. Don't you have any sense of urgency?"

"To be honest, not really."

"Hey, you kid..."

While they were talking, a girl walked in with a book in her arms. When she saw Zhou Chen in the dining car, her eyes suddenly lit up and she called softly: "Zhou Chen."

Zhou Chen and Lu Hongxing both turned their heads and looked over. When they saw it was Peng Yongli, Zhou Chen immediately stood up.

"Lili, why are you here? It's not dinner time yet."

Peng Yongli smiled brightly and said, "I'm not here to eat. I didn't feel sleepy when I got on the bus. I was just thinking about doing my homework, but it was too noisy in the car, so I was thinking about coming to the dining car."

"No problem at all."

Zhou Chen answered in the affirmative, and then led Peng Yongli to the empty dining table behind Lu Hongxing.

"That's it. You write here. If you need anything, tell me."

Peng Yongli put the book on the table: "I don't need anything. I won't disturb you here, right?" She glanced around and saw all the staff in the car.

Everyone's eyes were always staring at her, and their eyes were full of curiosity. Zhou Chen had been in this car for more than four years, and they had never seen Zhou Chen be so close to any girl. He brought everyone to the dining car. coming.

Zhou Chen said: "It's okay, don't bother me."

Although Lu Hongxing didn't know what the situation was, he was still very considerate and said enthusiastically: "Yes, don't bother me. Little girl, you can sit down for as long as you like."

"Yes, yes, yes." Several other staff members nodded repeatedly.

"Thanks."

Peng Yongli's face turned slightly red. She could tell that everyone looked at her strangely. She also understood why this was the case, but she still pretended to sit down calmly.

Lu Hongxing winked at Zhou Chen and whispered, "What's going on?"

Zhou Chen whispered: "A friend."

"Friends? Haha."

Lu Hongxing gave Zhou Chen a look that said, "You think I'm stupid." In front of so many people, how could he be just a friend?

Zhou Chen ignored him and sat down opposite Peng Yongli. He ignored the looks of everyone watching and talking to Peng Yongli.

Although everyone was very curious about the relationship between Zhou Chen and Peng Yongli, they also consciously did not disturb them. At most, they only stared at them more.

In the broadcast room, Yao Yuling stood up and stretched, picked up the water glass next to her, walked out of the studio, and prepared to go to the dining car to get a glass of water.

But when she walked into the dining car humming a song and greeted her colleagues with a smile, she glanced around and suddenly froze.

I saw one of the dining tables. Zhou Chen was sitting side by side with a young girl. Zhou Chen was holding a pen in his hand, writing and drawing on the paper, and was whispering something. The girl listened very seriously. , and nodded from time to time, looking very close.

This scene made her look stupid. She and Zhou Chen had known each other for several years. She had been interested in Zhou Chen at first, but before she had time to express it, Zhou Chen politely rejected her.

Although she was very dissatisfied, she didn't bother with it anymore. Over the past few years, she hadn't seen Zhou Chen get close to any girl. He didn't even go to see a girl introduced to him by a neighbor in the courtyard. This made her secretly I guess there is something wrong with Zhou Chen.

Suddenly seeing Zhou Chen so close to a young girl, she really couldn't get used to it.

She saw Cai Xiaonian sitting aside, also looking at Zhou Chen, so she quietly sat over.

"Cai Xiaonian, what's going on?" She pointed to Zhou Chen and asked.

Cai Xiaonian whispered: "I don't know what's going on. When I came in, I saw this. I heard from my master that this girl seems to have come to Zhou Chen specially. There is definitely something fishy."

His eyes were full of gossip. If the girl hadn't been there, he would have immediately asked Zhou Chen to inquire about the situation.

Suddenly, under their gaze, the girl showed a bright smile to Zhou Chen, and then handed another book to Zhou Chen. The two communicated quietly there, talking and laughing from time to time. They are very close, and it doesn't look like a simple friendship at first glance.

Seeing this scene, Yao Yuling felt very unhappy. Zhou Chen had always been lukewarm towards her, but now he was so close to another girl, which made her very unhappy.

‘This woman doesn’t look very good either. ’

The more she looked at her, the more unbalanced she felt. She asked Cai Xiaonian next to her unhappily: "Cai Xiaonian, let me ask you, who is more beautiful between me and that woman?"

"ah?"

Cai Xiaonian, who was watching the excitement and wanting to gossip, was stunned when he heard Yao Yuling's inexplicable question.

"Ah, what, let me ask you, who is more beautiful between me and that woman?"

Hearing Yao Yuling's dissatisfaction, Cai Xiaonian scratched his head. He was about to have a family. It was not good for him to comment on this, right? I'm not that shallow person.

"In terms of looks alone, you should be the prettier."

Yao Yuling suddenly showed a look of satisfaction. It seemed that her beauty was recognized.

"However, she is a few years younger than you, and I just heard from my master and others that this girl seems to be a college student."

Yao Yuling's face turned dark immediately. What women hate most is their age disadvantage. Also, is this woman still a college student? If it is true, then her technical secondary school education is really inferior, which makes her, who has always been strong, feel even more unhappy.

Cai Xiaonian didn't pay attention to Yao Yuling's expression. He dragged his chin and said quietly: "No wonder Zhou Chen didn't want to find a partner before. It turns out that he was ambitious and wanted to find a college student partner. Tsk tsk, you are a role model for our generation. I admire you, I admire you."
