Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen Marriage Proposal

I have always regarded Chen Jiasheng as an upright person, because since his father passed away, he is the only one who has never looked down on our mother and daughter. When my father was alive, he was the top leader of the valve factory. Chen Jiasheng was the assistant engineer of the factory.In the blink of an eye 13 years later, he had already been promoted to chief engineer, but my father died young, leaving us mother and daughter to depend on each other. I was only 9 years old at that time, but I could clearly distinguish people's winks and words.Father's memorial service is not over yet, many people have already checked their watches frequently and slipped away quietly.And before my father was alive, even if he had a small cold, these people would pay homage to him and sit with him for hours without getting tired.

I remember my mother stroking my back that night and telling me clearly: "From today, we have no friends, we can only rely on ourselves." But in fact we still have at least one friend, that is Chen Jiasheng.He visits twice a week, and he undertakes all the physical work at home, such as buying grain and moving coal, and he will take my mother and daughter to Zhongshan Park for a swing on the payday at the end of the month. Yes, swing, just such a simple game, is enough to make my heart happy. At that time, I thought that when I grew up, I would find a man as honest and kind as Chen Jiasheng to be my husband.Please note that I just said "people like Chen Jiasheng", not "Chen Jiasheng".I never really thought that Chan Ka Sing would actually propose to me 13 years later.

When he came to my mother with snacks and tonics and mentioned the intention of proposing to my mother, my mother was more shocked than I was, and her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible: "Jiasheng, Fang Fang called you Uncle Chen .” The Chen family laughed, but the smile was embarrassing. He said: "Three years ago, I asked her to change her name to Brother Chen." The mother made a fainting position, stroked her forehead and said, "But when did this happen? How did you ever think of having feelings for a little girl?" Jiasheng bowed his head as if doing something wrong: "I can't tell, I just know that I was very angry when He Li picked on Fang Fang for the first time. I can't tolerate any woman who is disrespectful to Fang Fang. She is the number one in my heart." One."

He Li is Chen Jiasheng's ex-wife. The reason for their divorce has something to do with me.Because Chen Jiasheng still came to my house twice a week after getting married, and would still take me to the park or watch movies on weekends.If He Li wants to watch romance films and I want to watch cartoons, no doubt Chan Ka Sing will take my advice.So they started quarreling two months after they got married and broke up three years later. Chen Jiasheng continued: "Since He Li left me, I realized that I actually don't want to get married. I even hate having a woman intervene between me and Fang Fang. From then on, I know that my relationship with Fang Fang has grown stronger and is inseparable."

For the first time, I discovered that Chen Jiasheng turned out to be a good storyteller. He ended the narrative with a few sentences and went straight to the point.But wait, what is meant by getting stronger with time, inseparable.It is only him, Chen Jiasheng, who is strong and firm, not me, Shen Nanfang. I heard my mother reply her: "But the most important thing about this matter is to seek Fang Fang's opinion. I think I have to talk to her first." talk?What are we talking about?It is simply impossible.I looked in the mirror, how could I look like an aunt?Why did they become a middle-aged couple before they were too young?I even felt that Chen Jiasheng's suggestion was presumptuous and an insult to my youth.I was angry: "Why is Chen Jiasheng so confident?"

"What's wrong with Chen Jiasheng?" Unexpectedly, my mother didn't help me. She analyzed slowly, "He is 35 years old, has a car, a house, status, knowledge, good looks, and personable manners. Although he was married once, But there is no child, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the fifth son of a diamond." I was surprised and opened my eyes wide: "Mom, when did you become so realistic?" "I've known since your father passed away." My mother stood up and didn't want to talk to me. "I've already expressed my position. After all, this is your own business. You can deal with it yourself."

"And what is your opinion?" "I have no objection. If you disagree, I will never force you. I just want to say that Chen Jiasheng is not an unfavorable object. Also, a man willing to propose to a woman is the highest compliment to this woman after all. You should Learn to respect him." My mother's words are undoubtedly good words, but I am only 22 years old, and I believe that there are infinite possibilities in my life, and Prince Charming will drive here at any time.I couldn't see a man over 30 years old, and I didn't think it was a big deal for a man to propose to me until I met Ke Zhengping.

I met Ke Zhengping on an extraordinary day, because that day happened to be Valentine's Day.However, even if it wasn't February 14th, I would consider that day to be unusual. I didn't have a date that day, and I was very bored, so I wanted to find a new show for myself.I decided to go to the bar, because I had never been, and I thought it was very exciting. But sitting on the swing chair really feels like that. There is music, the waiters shuttle through the crowd, and the couples on the dance floor don’t know if they are lovers or not. Anyway, the distance at this moment is close.I felt even more bored, but the hanging chair gave me a lot of memories, so I was reluctant to leave.

At this time, a man in white casual clothes came to me, handed me a rose, and smiled calmly: "Happy Valentine's Day." I looked at him suspiciously. It's hard to please a man in white, but he is really well dressed.His appearance is absolutely not annoying, it can be said that he is very handsome, but I don't know him. He understood my eyes and smiled more cordially: "Pretty girls should receive roses." I finally said "thank you" and took the flowers. Unexpectedly, he hit the snake with a stick and said, "If you accept my flowers, you should also promise to dance with me."

When we spun between couples, I was in a trance, feeling like he and I were also a couple and had known each other for a long time. While dancing, he leaned into my ear and told me softly that his name was Ke Zhengping, he was a lawyer, and he opened a private law firm on Changjiang Road.I laughed: "I didn't ask you." "But I have the sincerity to continue to communicate with you, so I must let you know me first." Ke Zhengping smiled easily, as if I had agreed to associate with him. But I do hope to see him again. We went roller skating together the next day.Two days later, I made an appointment to ride a horse in the suburbs.Also book your next date to go bungee jumping.

In a word, we started dating. Ke Zhengping is very good at playing, dancing, skating, horse riding, swimming, and even paragliding, he can do everything, and he can always find new shows.I have infinite happiness with him and hope to live in his smile all my life. During this period, Chen Jiasheng still reported to my house twice a week, and I always avoided it as much as possible.But my mother said that after the failed marriage proposal, Jiasheng didn't mention it a second time, so after a few months, I will be calm.I think he may be self-conscious, and he will no longer have extravagant thoughts. At that time, I followed Ke Zhengping and became obsessed with the Internet again. Whenever I had time every day, I would spend time in Internet cafes and not think about it.Suddenly one day when I came home, I found that there was an extra computer in the house. I asked my mother and said that it was brought by Chen Jiasheng.At this time, Jiasheng's phone call also came, and the voice was as friendly and calm as usual: "Fang Fang, did you receive the gift? Do you like it?" "But, why did you give me such an expensive gift?" Of course I like it, and I don't dare to accept it. Jiasheng laughed on the other end of the phone: "Today is your 22nd birthday. You are the same age as when I met you. I am 13 years older than you. Now you have grown up for 13 years, just the same age as me. You say Should I celebrate you?" I also laughed: "Wrong, 13 years ago you were 13 years older than me, and now you are 13 years older. Now you should be 26 years older than me." "Listen, this is the talented student who graduated from our Polytechnic University! What arithmetic skills?" We talked nonsense on the phone, and I talked a lot because I was in a good mood.For the first time, I discovered that talking with Chen Jiasheng on the phone is different from talking face-to-face. The telephone line isolates each other, making us ignore our age, because the increase in spatial distance shortens the psychological distance.The telephone is a wonderful thing. After that, the number of times Chen Jiasheng came to my house decreased significantly, but the phone calls became more and more frequent, and finally increased to a hotline every night.Gradually, I also got used to talking nonsense with him on the phone before going to bed and then fell asleep. I was a little bit worried when he called late one day.But when they met, he turned back into Uncle Chen. Ke Zhengping once asked me: "Is your Uncle Chen treating you better or am I treating you better?" I thought about it seriously, and then replied: "Chen Jiasheng treats me better than you treat me, and I treat you better than I treat Chen Jiasheng." Same tongue twister, but the truth. After Ke Zhengping passed the initial frenzy with me, he treated me as normal, and I found out that he had other dates.I asked him, and he replied: "Ordinary friends, I can't compare with you." "Then what about me? Who am I to you?" I hope to take this opportunity to clarify our relationship with each other.Ke Zhengping always treats me in such a way that I can't stand it. But he still refused to give me a positive answer, just said: "You are my favorite woman. I give you more time than anyone else." But it's not enough, chocolate roses singing and dancing, every woman around him can have these, I don't want to, I don't want to share his time with other women, all I want is all of him. I think of Chen Jiasheng.When I was young, I liked flowers very much. I was very envious when I saw the roses next door blooming in full bloom. Chen Jiasheng even went to the balcony at dusk and secretly picked one for me. He was the first boy to send me flowers.Who said no, he was only in his early twenties that year, and it was time to fall in love, but he gave me all his love and affection. I sighed, can I really not find a man who treats me better than Chen Jiasheng? I was not convinced, so I started to indifferent to Ke Zhengping. On the weekend, I rejected Ke Zhengping and went on a date with a male colleague named Zhang Chu in the office.To some extent, this was done to make Ke Zhengping jealous, but he was too busy dealing with other women, so he didn't care about it. My heart was cold, so I seriously considered Zhang Chu as my boyfriend.But our relationship only lasted for more than two months, because one day he suddenly asked me: "The unit will be divided next year, should we first register for the row of houses?" We hadn't even said I love you to each other back then.I was shocked, knowing that what he paid attention to was not me, but the possible benefits of being with me.We were watching a movie at the time, and I got up and turned around and left.He came to my house after an hour or so after watching the movie. I said to him through the door: "Let's calm down for 3 months." He was impatient to wait.He was still in a hurry to find someone to register for the row house.Within a week, I saw him holding hands with girls on the street and queuing up to buy movie tickets.Hopefully this time they can sit together until the end of the movie. I'm not too sad about the loss of love this time, I just think it's funny. Think about the two people I know, one can do anything but not get married, and the other doesn’t want to play any romance and only wants to get married.Equally insincere. I have to think of Chen Jiasheng again.Only him, the love for me is unreasonable and undemanding. When Jiasheng called again in the evening, I asked him: "If I never promise to marry you, when will you get tired of waiting for me?" He thought for a while: "I asked you to wait for 13 years to catch up with my age. I should wait for you to repay me for another 13 years. If it is not enough, then multiply it by 3 times. But if you still don't agree after 39 years Marry me, and I'll change." 39 years?God, I'm 61 and he's 74 after 39 years, and I can't help but laugh. That night, I knocked on the door of my mother's room and said to her, "Mom, please bless me. I have decided to accept Jiasheng's marriage proposal."
