Chapter 1370: Old Father's Vigilance, Lili's First Visit
Yao Yuling was very angry, but her anger was not only because Zhou Chen was taken away by someone, but also because she was dissatisfied with Zhou Chen's attitude.

When she took the initiative to show her affection, Zhou Chen was lukewarm towards her and almost rejected her outright.

But now, Zhou Chen has found a girl who is not as pretty and attractive as her. Except for her education, how else is she better than this girl? Is it just because she is a college student?

'shallow.'

She cursed angrily in her heart. She didn't think there was anything wrong with her, but only felt that Zhou Chen had a problem with his vision. Well, he was also vain.

Yao Yuling was so unhappy that she even forgot the purpose of her visit. She twisted her body and walked out of the dining car, thinking out of sight, out of mind.

Cai Xiaonian looked at her leaving back and said softly, "It has to be Zhou Chen. When it comes to women, Wang Xin and Niu Dali are far behind me."

Ever since Wang Xin and Ma Kui became criminal police, he has had the most contact with Zhou Chen. They eat and sleep in the same car when they are at work, and live in the same compound when they are off work, so he knows Zhou Chen quite well.

Although it was the first time he met Peng Yongli, he could see that Zhou Chen's attitude towards this girl was obviously different from that towards other girls. He really put his heart into it. And it could also be seen that the girl's attitude towards Zhou Chen was very friendly, which meant that they definitely had a chance.

He really admired Zhou Chen. This girl was a college student, probably less than 20 years old, and was very beautiful. Zhou Chen could actually win her over. He had to admire her.

Zhou Chen didn't care about other people's eyes at all. He was explaining a problem to Peng Yongli at this moment. He had never been to college in this world, but his accumulated knowledge was not comparable to that of a college student. Not to mention teaching Peng Yongli, a freshman, he would have no pressure teaching even a graduate student or doctoral student.

It was during this short period of time that Peng Yongli admired Zhou Chen even more. She asked many questions, but Zhou Chen was able to answer them every time. He was truly amazing.

Peng Yongli stayed in the dining car until after dinner before leaving. During this time, Yu Xingguo, with Qin Yan and You Yuejin, was very attentive and did not disturb Zhou Chen at all, taking care of all the work.

As soon as Peng Yongli left, colleagues in the car surrounded Zhou Chen and began to inquire about the situation.

"Zhou Chen, who was that girl just now?"

"friend."

"Oh my god, it's like that, and we're still friends?"

"Of course, he even found a female college student. This is a great honor for our dean."

"Well-matched, I think you two are really well-matched."

"........."

Zhou Chen responded to the gossiping crowd with a smile. Peng Yongli's sudden arrival made him the topic of everyone's conversation and he was pulled aside for questioning.

After dealing with these gossipers, Zhou Chen went back to work.

On today's trains, there are basically few major incidents, but many minor ones. Most of these issues can be resolved by the train attendants, and those that are difficult to resolve will be asked for the train police. Relatively speaking, the train police's job is simpler than that of the train attendants.

During the rest of the journey, Peng Yongli came to see Zhou Chen twice more and had dinner with Zhou Chen, but it was not just the two of them, Peng Mingjie was also there.

Zhou Chen naturally saw the vigilance and warning in Peng Mingjie's eyes, but he pretended not to see it. He had been a father more than once, so he naturally understood what Peng Mingjie was thinking now. The best way was to pretend not to understand and just ignore it.

Occasionally, Peng Mingjie's tone was not very good, and Zhou Chen pretended not to understand. Peng Mingjie was very depressed when he saw that Zhou Chen was not listening, but when he saw that his daughter was so nice to Zhou Chen, he could only sigh.

There is no way for women to stay in college.

After arriving in Harbin, Zhou Chen said goodbye to Peng Yongli and others.

"When you are about to start school, call me and I will buy you a ticket."

Peng Yongli smiled sweetly: "Okay, I'll call you then and take your bus again."

After saying goodbye to Zhou Chen, Peng Yongli happily went home with her father. Seeing her so happy, Peng Mingjie felt very uncomfortable.

"Lili, what's so good about that boy? You are a college student."

Peng Yongli didn't care: "What's wrong with being a college student? Zhou Chen didn't go to college because he didn't take the college entrance examination. He is much more knowledgeable than me, and he is also better than the male students in our school."

This was not her deliberate promotion of Zhou Chen, but her real feeling. Zhou Chen, both in appearance and in character, very much met her expectations of her other half.

Compared with Zhou Chen's maturity and stability, the male classmates in the school are far behind. The most important thing is that Zhou Chen treated her very well during the several contacts and was very tactful in his actions.

So, she really wants to date Zhou Chen now, but she is a girl, so even if she has this intention, she is embarrassed to bring it up first. She is waiting for Zhou Chen.

The beginning of the university's winter vacation means the Spring Festival is approaching. During this period, the Railway Bureau will become busy again, and Zhou Chen and his colleagues are also busier than usual.

It was very unfortunate this year. On New Year’s Eve and the first day of the New Year, Zhou Chen and his colleagues had to go out on a road trip, so they couldn’t celebrate the New Year at home.

On the 28th day of the lunar year, Cai Xiaonian specially invited Zhou Chen, Wang Xin and Niu Dali to get together.

The place for the dinner was chosen to be Zhou Chen's home. Cai Xiaonian provided the food and wine. Wang Xin and Niu Dali also brought some New Year's goods, such as melon seeds, peanuts, bacon and so on.

Cai Xiaonian poured wine for Zhou Chen and the other two, raised his glass, and said first: "We will be out on the road tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so we will gather here in advance today. I wish you all a happy new year."

"Happy New Year."

The four of them clinked their glasses and then drank them all in one gulp.

Cai Xiaonian raised his glass again: "Secondly, you all know my story. Yanhong and I are going to get married after the Spring Festival, so we will need your help. There are four cars for the wedding, and we can each take one. Is that okay?"

"Of course it's no problem."

Niu Dali and Zhou Chen both said that it was no problem, Cai Xiaonian would choose to get married on a day when they would not be driving, so both of them would be free.

Wang Xin said hesitantly, "To be honest, it's hard for me to say. You all know the situation of the criminal police team. If there is a case, we will be busy day and night, and we may even have to go to other places to handle the case. So I can't give you an answer now, but I promise that as long as there is no case that day, I will definitely go."

"That's no problem."

Cai Xiaonian was very happy. Nowadays, weddings are all about the scene and the excitement. With someone joining him, his pressure was naturally reduced.

Wang Xin asked, "Didn't your future mother-in-law ask for four new Phoenix brand bicycles? Are you ready?"

"I borrowed two from people in my company. There's one in the compound, and Zhou Chen's bike is pretty new too, so there's definitely no problem."

"So what do you mean by forty-eight legs are also ready?"

"I have to thank you and the neighbors in the courtyard for helping to collect the money. I'll drink this glass of wine."

Cai Xiaonian drank the glass in one gulp. If it weren't for the help of the neighbors in the compound, their family would definitely not have been able to meet his mother-in-law's requirements for this marriage. He kept these favors in his heart.

"I, Cai Xiaonian, am making this clear today. When you get married, if you need me for anything, I will ask you for help and I will do it without hesitation."

Niu Dali laughed and said, "Of course. When Yao Er and I get married, I will need your help."

"Yo yo yo."

Cai Xiaonian sneered: "Niu Dali, I really don't know where you get the confidence from to marry Yao Er. I think you are just being sentimental."

Niu Dali said dissatisfiedly: "What do you know about being sentimental? I have made great progress with Yao Er now. I believe that with my efforts, it won't be long before Yao Er will agree to my pursuit, date me, and finally marry me."

"Haha." Cai Xiaonian and Wang Xin laughed at the same time.

"It's not even dark yet, Dali, let's stop daydreaming here. Come on, have a drink, and think about it after you get drunk."

"No, what do you mean? You look down on me, right? Well, just wait. Sooner or later, I will let you see me marry Yao'er."

That night, except for Zhou Chen, Wang Xin and the other two were all drunk. Zhou Chen sent them home one by one, and then came back to clean up the mess at home.

There were quite a few passengers on the train on New Year's Eve, but Zhou Chen and his friends spent the Spring Festival in the dining car.

…………

Harbin City.

Zhou Chen met Peng Yongli and Peng Mingjie at the station.

"Zhou Chen."

When Peng Yongli saw Zhou Chen, she waved to him happily.

Zhou Chen walked over and said, "Uncle, Lili, here are the tickets. Here they are."

Peng Mingjie took the ticket and asked, "How much is it?"

"Uncle, I don't have much money..."

"No, just take what you deserve."

Peng Mingjie didn't give Zhou Chen a chance and directly blocked what Zhou Chen was about to say. Zhou Chen could only tell him the ticket price.

Peng Yongli happily said to Zhou Chen: "We went to Ningyang in advance this time to visit Uncle Ma's home. My father even bought a sheep to bring to Uncle Ma. My father carried it all the way and was very tired."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen immediately said, "Leave it to me, uncle, I'll carry it. The passengers haven't started to get on the bus yet, so don't squeeze. I'll take you up first."

"Need not……"

Peng Mingjie was about to refuse Zhou Chen's kindness, but Zhou Chen just picked up the sheep that had made him tired along the way, and also picked up Peng Yongli's luggage bag. He led the way towards the car. Peng Yongli didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and followed Zhou Chen happily.

Peng Mingjie was a little confused. After a few seconds, he exclaimed: "This kid is quite strong."

The sheep he brought this time, including bones and meat, weighed dozens of kilograms. It took a lot of effort for him to carry it with both hands behind his back. However, Zhou Chen lifted it up with one hand, and he looked very relaxed. This strength really surprised him.

It was not time to get on the bus yet, but Zhou Chen took the Peng father and daughter directly into the car.

"Uncle, it may not be convenient to put the sheep in the sleeper. If you don't mind, I can help put it with us and give it to you when you get off the train. What do you think?"

This time Peng Mingjie did not refuse. It was indeed not convenient to put dozens of kilograms of mutton on the berth. He would always take a nap, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you."

"No trouble."

Zhou Chen first took them to the sleeper berths, and then placed the mutton in their staff compartment, next to his own berth. Non-staff members were not allowed to enter here, so there was no need to worry about it being taken away.

The journey back to Ningyang was not peaceful. We caught two thieves and a hooligan who attacked women.

Zhou Chen felt that these hooligans who attacked cars were really stupid. The crime of hooliganism these days was quite serious. Once you were charged with this crime, your life would be ruined, and even your relatives and friends might be implicated.

After arriving in Ningyang, Zhou Chen took the initiative to help Peng Mingjie and his friends find a tricycle and went back to the railway compound with them.

"Mingjie, come on, you're here, but you brought such a big sheep, how much money and meat tickets would it cost?"

The Ma Kui family were surprised to see that Peng Mingjie actually brought a sheep. It was not easy to eat meat these days, and a whole sheep was something they could not even imagine. But the Peng father and daughter brought it to them from thousands of miles away, which showed how much love they had.

Peng Mingjie smiled and said, "Lao Ma, given our relationship, it's a bit awkward to say these things. Once Lili leaves, I can't eat all this by myself at home. It would be more fun to bring it here and eat it with you. Sister-in-law, let's cook mutton tonight."

Wang Sufang looked at Ma Kui, who could only smile bitterly and nodded: "Just listen to Mingjie. Yan'er, I'll go cook with you."

"Okay, Dad."

Ma Yan was very happy. This sheep weighed several dozen kilograms and she would have something to eat in the days to come. She had never had the chance to eat meat to her heart's content since she was a child, but now she had the chance.

Ma Kui gave another instruction: "By the way, Yan'er, give me a leg of lamb later and send it quietly to Zhou Chen's house."

Ma Yan naturally had no objection: "I know, I'll send it right away. Dad, how about sending one to Wang Xin's family as well?"

"What are you going to send to his family? If you don't want to send it, I'm warning you, don't send it secretly. If I find out, I won't forgive you."

"If you don't want to send it, then don't send it. You're so stingy. Wang Xin has sent us many gifts."

Wang Sufang pulled away Ma Yan, who was muttering and very dissatisfied, and whispered a few words in her ear, and then she smiled.

"Come on, Mingjie, Lili, sit down quickly."

Zhou Chen was cleaning at home when he suddenly heard Ma Yan's voice.

"Zhou Chen, are you home? I'm coming in."

"come in."

Zhou Chen put down the rag in his hand and saw Ma Yan walking in with a snakeskin bag, followed by Peng Yongli and Ma Jian.

"My dad asked me to bring you a leg of lamb, and also asked me to ask you to come to our house for dinner later."

Zhou Chen said: "Come in and sit down first. I can accept the lamb leg, but you don't have to go to eat. I have already started cooking."

Seeing Zhou Chen's bright and tidy house, Ma Yan smiled and said, "I always feel strange when I come to your place. You live alone, but your house is cleaner than ours. I wish Wang Xin could be half as diligent as you."

Zhou Chen took some candy for them to eat.

Peng Yongli did not sit down, but looked at Zhou Chen's house carefully. This was her first time entering Zhou Chen's house. It was different from what she had imagined. Just as Ma Yan said, it was very tidy and clean, and the furniture arrangement was also refreshing and looked very stylish.

"Zhou Chen, did you clean this place by yourself? These tables, chairs and furniture are so beautiful, especially the carvings on them. They are so beautiful. I heard from my sister that you can carve wood. Did you carve all these by yourself?"

"Yeah, I was bored so I made some myself. It's just acceptable."

He disposed of all the old furniture in his house, and the current furniture is all made by himself. Although limited by the material, the appearance is indeed much better looking than the furniture of today.
