She is a heartthrob who wants to live a good life

"This?" Cheng Qinji's smile faded a little. "This is not a necklace. I just strung it together with a chain."

Shen Weicang calmed down and said, "Did you make it yourself? Brother Cheng, you are amazing. You can even drill a hole for such a big pendant."

Cheng Qinji hummed. He saw that Shen Weicang was interested in this, so he took off the necklace and handed it to her: "This is a bullet, taken from my father."

Shen Weicang had no interest in the necklace, but he still took it after hearing what he said: "Bullet?"

Looking closely, the pendant is really a bullet, and it feels quite heavy in the hand.

She was a little surprised and frightened: "How painful it would be to take it off my body?"

Cheng Qinji's smile faded, and her voice dropped: "My dad...it shouldn't hurt when the bullet is removed. He has already died."

Shen Weicang showed sympathy: "Brother Cheng, did I mention your sad story? I'm sorry."

She complained in her heart, why is the world so small? Cheng Qinji came from the capital, and so did Pei Jingche. They wouldn't know each other, right?

Cheng Qinji smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter. Although my father is not by my side, this bullet has accompanied me as I grew up, and I still have many family members who care about me."

Shen Weicang nodded: "Your mother must love you very much."

Cheng Qinji's smile was a little stiff: "My mother...also died. When I was born, she joined the construction corps in the west and later died there."

"My father died in the border counterattack war. He went to the front before I was born," Cheng Qinji's smile became a little forced. "Except for photos, I have never seen my parents."

Shen Weicang hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Brother Cheng, I didn't mean to bring up your sad story."

No wonder since he met Cheng Qinji and Zhu Yanfeng, he only mentioned his uncle and hardly ever talked about his parents.

She returned the necklace to Cheng Qinji: "Please put this on."

Cheng Qinji reached out and took it: "It's okay, although I haven't seen them, but I know they love me."

"They are no longer with us. All I can do is live a good life and not let them worry about me in heaven."

As he spoke, he put the necklace back on. In fact, there was a moment just now when he wanted to give the necklace to Comrade Shen, as he noticed that she was quite interested in the necklace.

But today was their first meeting after all, and it seemed a bit abrupt to give Comrade Shen such a personal item as a gift. He was afraid that Comrade Shen would misunderstand him as a frivolous person.

After they finished their meal, the dishes were indeed not finished. Except for Shen Weicang who picked up a few pieces with his chopsticks, almost no one touched them.

Zhou Minqing felt it was a pity: "Why don't we pack it up and take it back? It's such a waste."

Shen Weicang had no objection, so Cheng Qinji waved and asked someone to come and pack up.

Several people returned to the village. Zhu Yanfeng was still waiting in the office. Xu Manyuan talked to him enthusiastically, and Xu Jingxiang sat quietly beside him.

"Professor Zhu, it's already noon and you've been tired all morning. Why don't you come to my house for a meal?"

Zhu Yanfeng shook his head and politely declined: "No, we'll go to the township to have something to eat later, as we have to go to another village in the afternoon."

Cheng Qinji walked in loudly: "Excuse me, great expert, Cang Cang and I have already had dinner."

He glanced at Xu Manyuan and Xu Jingxiang with ill intent: "You should do as you please. They have invited you so kindly, how can you refuse them again and again?"

Just now, he and Cang Cang had a very pleasant chat along the way, and he invited her to go with them in the afternoon. When Zhu Yanfeng was doing research in the village, he would take her somewhere else to play.

Zhu Yanfeng stood up and ignored him, saying to Xu Manyuan: "Then I'll take my leave, Captain Xu, thank you for your assistance this morning."

Xu Manyuan hurried to catch up, stretched out his hand and pulled Xu Jingxiang: "What are you standing there for? You have no sense at all. Talk to Professor Zhu for a few more words!"

Xu Jingxiang just stared blankly at the backs of Shen Weicang and Cheng Qinji walking out side by side. She had never seen the dress she was wearing today.

It goes without saying that these beautiful and exquisite clothes were all bought with Pei Jingche's money.

Xu Jingxiang had lived in the capital for many years in her previous life, and she knew that the young girls in the city were dressing more fashionably, beautifully, boldly and brightly at this time, and were gradually getting rid of black and gray clothes.

The skirts that Shen Weicang wears are not something that the villagers can make, and even in the county, you probably can’t buy skirts of this design and style.

For some reason, Xu Jingxiang felt a sense of indignation.

She forced herself to suppress that emotion and said to Xu Manyuan in a lukewarm tone, "Dad, I advise you to be less naughty."

Xu Manyuan pushed her several times, but she remained indifferent and watched Zhu Yanfeng and Shen Weicang get into the car.

Compared to the uselessness of his own girl, the scene of Shen Weicang, Zhu Yanfeng and Cheng Qinji talking and laughing stimulated him more.

"Why does Shen girl always get all the good things?" He continued to lecture her.

"Although Professor Zhu may not be as good as Pei Jingche, he is also from Beijing and a professor at a university. He is a great expert. I asked you to get close to him, but you are really a hopeless case."

Just as the car was about to leave, the window rolled down and Zhu Yanfeng in the back seat called out to him, "Captain Xu."

Xu Manyuan was a little surprised. He said "Hey" and ran to meet him. He did not forget to pull Xu Jingxiang with him: "Professor Zhu, what's wrong? It's too hot today. You should come to my house for dinner."

Zhu Yanfeng ignored his words:

"I want to tell you in advance that Comrade Shen and I got along very well this morning. I think she has some talent, so I plan to bring her with me to do research."

The village is different from the city, and the atmosphere is still somewhat conservative. Zhu Yanfeng is worried that taking Shen Weicang out for a transfer will have an impact.

The enthusiastic and flattering smile on Xu Manyuan's face suddenly froze, looking a little funny: "What?"

He couldn't believe it: "She? She wants to do research with you?"

Is Shen Weicang talented?

What talent does she have? Xu Jingxiang at least studied in high school for more than a year, while Shen Weicang never went to school after junior high school. In fact, he is not as good as Xu Jingxiang.

What on earth could Shen Weicang know about the psychology that Professor Zhu was researching? She was talented, but why did she have to follow him to do research?

Xu Manyuan was not convinced: "Professor Zhu, my Jingxiang has been in high school for one year longer than Shen girl, why don't you take her with you? She can help you with some work."

Zhu Yanfeng pretended not to hear: "That's it, Captain Xu, remember to explain it to the villagers when the time comes."

After saying that, the car window rolled up, and Cheng Qinji started the car, which raised a lot of dust.

Xu Manyuan had dirt thrown all over his face and he made two "Pah" sounds, feeling angry and depressed.

How come Shen Weicang always gets to meet with good things?

He turned around and lectured Xu Jingxiang: "You didn't know how to say a word just now. You are not as good as Miss Shen at dealing with things. No wonder people look down on you."

Xu Jingxiang guessed what he was going to do and was a little speechless: "Dad, stop making those little calculations. Do you think it's easy to climb up the social ladder?"
