After a few people got together this time, the goodbye was a week later. At the beginning of March, the head of the fishing village called and told Cheng Jun that he had done the statistics and asked them to come over.Most people are willing to sell land, and only three or four households are difficult to deal with.Cheng Jun was a little surprised, the statistical result was much better than his initial expectation.

Taking the opportunity of picking up the children, Cheng Jun told Meng Qi, who was going to pick up his niece, about going to Mermaid Bay again on the weekend, hoping to settle the farmer as soon as possible, so as not to change easily after a long time.On the way out of the classroom, Cheng Xiaohai has been lobbying Hu Xin to go to his house to play.Seeing that the two children were so enthusiastic, Cheng Jun invited Meng Qi to his home to discuss in detail.

It happened that Meng Qi didn't drive today, so he accepted Cheng Jun's invitation.

Since he brought Meng Qi and his niece back, thinking that the food at home must not be enough, Cheng Jun got out of the car and bought some fresh vegetables when he passed by the vegetable market near his home.As soon as I got in the car after buying the vegetables, I received a call from Xiaowu, asking how to cook egg soup.

"Egg soup, you boil the water first, then put two tomatoes, four eggs, some cooked oil and a little salt. Ah yes, that's it. Okay, I'll be home soon." Cheng Jun answered the call with the phone between his head and shoulders, put down the phone and quickly turned the steering wheel.

Meng Qi sat in the co-pilot, heard Cheng Jun answer the phone, and asked him, "Who is Cheng Xiaowu, your relative? I never heard you mention that you have an uncle when you were in college."

Cheng Jun was one of the few friends Meng Qi could talk to in college. Meng Qi didn't dare to boast how thoroughly he understood him, but he knew clearly about those in his family.Cheng Jun's parents are both only children, there shouldn't be relatives such as uncle and uncle, uncle and aunt, so how can he talk about cousins.That day he couldn't ask clearly because of Cheng Xiaowu's presence, but today he happened to be away, so he asked out the confusion in his heart.

Cheng Jun turned a corner, and he could already see the community where his home was located in front of him.He said lightly: "It's not my uncle who is particularly close, just the same surname."

Meng Qi didn't continue to ask, and he didn't care much about other people's affairs, but Cheng Jun was a bit special to him, so he made a move.But it was obvious that the other party didn't want to say more about this issue, so he didn't need to worry about it by himself.

When they got home, Xiao Wu's rice had been cooked, and Chou Chou was busy working in front of the stove.

As soon as Cheng Xiaohai came in, he took Hu Xin to his room to play. Cheng Jun put the newly bought vegetables on the dining table, asked Meng Qi to sit down casually, and then made him a cup of green tea.

"Your home is very warm." Meng Qi praised after looking around Cheng Jun's small house.

"Thank you!" Cheng Jun thought of his family of three and was quite satisfied with this evaluation.

Xiao Wu came out to say hello to Meng Qi, Cheng Jun wanted to take the vegetables into the kitchen, so he asked Xiao Wu to bring out some fruits.Meng Qi followed Cheng Jun to the kitchen, and saw Ugly's busy back through the frosted glass door.

Meng Qi asked Xiao Wu, "What is Clown Cheng doing?"

Xiao Wu put a plate of washed grapes and a pot of apples on the coffee table, and while peeling the apples, he answered Meng Qi: "Make soup."

Meng Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh, he can also cook?"

Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, stopped peeling the skin in his hand, slowly raised his eyes to look at Meng Qi, his blue eyes flickered, then lowered again, "Just trying."

Meng Qi picked up the teacup and blew on it, "It seems that I am here today, I can try his handicraft."

As soon as the words were finished, Cheng Jun laughed wildly and Chou Chou roared out of embarrassment and anger from the kitchen.

Cheng Jun: "Puff ha ha ha..."

Chou Chou: "(╰_╯)#You are not allowed to laugh!"

Meng Qi and Xiao Wu looked at each other, and finally decided to go to the kitchen to have a look.

In the kitchen, Cheng Jun supported the stove with one hand and covered his belly with the other, laughing uncontrollably.

Chou Chou wore men's clothes today, but he was wearing a pink bear apron against the law, holding a spoon in his hand, his long hair tied behind his head, his beautiful eyes were round, his whole face was flushed, and he stared at Cheng Jun only panted, he was angry but he didn't dare to take Cheng Jun's expression on his face, which was really unique.

Meng Qi slightly curled the corner of his mouth.

lovely!

Xiao Wu looked at the two of them, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Jun laughed so hard that he couldn't speak a complete sentence, he could only point to the pot on the stove and signaled Xiao Wu and Meng Qi to go and have a look.

The ugly fish was startled, and immediately stood in front of the stove, with a fierce look in its eyes, "Don't look, I will bite whoever is watching!"

Meng Qi didn't believe him at all, walked over and pulled him away, and then he saw such a pot of things that seemed incomprehensible to him——

There was a small half pot of clear water, with oily spots floating on the surface of the water. There were four round eggs with shells lying in the water, and two round red tomatoes with peeled skins.

Meng Qi: "..."

Cheng Jun: "Hahaha..."

Meng Qi couldn't help but think of the phone call Cheng Jun received just on the way, and look at the contents of the pot, and he understood it in seconds.

Cheng Jun laughed so hard that he was about to collapse on the ground.

Chou Chou lost his temper after being teased by Cheng Jun, walked up to Xiao Wu's side with grievances, put his head on Xiao Wu's arm, rubbed his head vigorously, and shouted angrily: "Little Wu brother, please take care of your man!" Bar."

Xiao Wu didn't need to speak at all, Cheng Jun automatically silenced his voice, and looked at Meng Qi with taboo and anxiety.

Meng Qi's face didn't show such a stunned expression, instead there was a kind of clarity after he had figured it out after an accident.

Cheng Jun had a headache, looked at Chou Chou reproachfully, and was speechless for a while.Chou Chou also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and he didn't dare to make a sound when Cheng Jun looked at him like this, so he could only hide behind Xiao Wu and point his fingers silently.

Meng Qi's eyes flickered a few times——

This action is really... so cute!

Cheng Jun had a headache, he never expected that Meng Qi would find out about his relationship with Xiao Wu under such circumstances, such an open-mouthed idiot, Chou Chou.Now, I don't know how to explain it to Meng Qi. The most important thing is that Meng Qi is a straight man. If he minds that he is gay and wants to terminate the cooperation with him, it will be bad.

The atmosphere froze for only a few seconds, and Meng Qi quickly broke the silence, "Cheng Jun, hurry up and cook, it's almost six o'clock." His tone and expression were normal, as if he hadn't heard Chou Chou's words.

Cheng Jun looked at Meng Qi and smiled, "Okay, you go to the living room and sit for a while, it will be fine soon."

Seeing that Meng Qi didn't show disgust, and seeing Cheng Jun start washing his hands and cooking, Chou Chou took the initiative to drag Meng Qi to the living room, turned on the TV for him, and greeted him courteously.

Xiao Wu looked at Cheng Jun with some worry, "Are you afraid that he will know?"

Cheng Jun scraped the scales slowly, "It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I'm not ready."

Xiao Wu looked back at the living room, Meng Qi was playing checkers with Chou Chou, "I don't think he would mind." He was very interested in Chou Chou.

Cheng Jun smiled relaxedly, took the scaled fish to the chopping board and put it away, and drew slashes on the fish with a knife, "It's best if you don't mind, it's okay if you don't mind, the worst is that you think I'm disgusting, and then tell I terminate the cooperation. But it is a pity to lose such a good friend."

The atmosphere of the meal was neither good nor bad, Meng Qi was going on as usual, Cheng Jun couldn't figure out what he was thinking.Meng Qi is such a formidable person, his face is so happy at the critical moment that you can't figure out what he is thinking even if you rack your brains.

After dinner, Cheng Jun wanted to send Meng Qi and his niece home.

The two of them didn't talk much along the way, and it wasn't until Meng Qi's sister's house was approaching that Meng Qi called to stop.

Cheng Jun stopped the car, "Do you want to ask me now?"

The niece had already fallen asleep leaning against the back seat. Meng Qi lowered the car window a little to let the night breeze into the car to dispel the dull smell, and then closed it again. Girl, is that the reason?"

Cheng Jun thought of the two girls Meng Qi introduced to him back then. One was pure and lovely, but she screamed at the sight of ants and had a serious cleanliness obsession. They are all kinds of high-level, profound and difficult-to-understand academic topics—although they only met once through Meng Qi's introduction, Cheng Jun has already been deeply frightened by their typical and outstanding characteristics.

He laughed and nodded, "That's the reason. However, the two girls you introduced, senior brother, are quite scary. Even if I'm not gay, I'm afraid I can't bear it."

Meng Qi also seemed to recall the past, and said in a relaxed tone, "The girls I know are all rich and famous ladies, there's nothing I can do about it." Then he sighed slightly, "But I never thought that it was because of this that you didn't want to date girls. friend's."

With both palms on the steering wheel, Cheng Jun unconsciously trembled his right index finger a few times, "What do brothers think of me now?"

Meng Qi seemed to be doing it on purpose, and stayed silent for a while at this stall, causing Cheng Jun's heart to constrict suddenly even though he wasn't nervous at first, but he said innocently, "How do you think of you usually, how do you think of you now?" .”

Cheng Jun looked at him in surprise, "Aren't you disgusted?"

Meng Qi patted Cheng Jun on the shoulder, "If I'm disgusted, I'll just turn around and leave."

That's right, Meng Qi looks quite rational, but in fact he can be quite aggressive sometimes, such as the conflict between him and his father, he won't go back if he says he can't go back, and he's quite straightforward.This kind of trait of Meng Qi can only be shown by people who are very close to him. As his good friend for so many years, Cheng Jun is not close. If he felt conflicted about his sexuality at that time, the most direct reaction should be Turn around and leave instead of staying to finish dinner with a normal look.

"It's good that you don't mind. I was a little scared before." Cheng Jun lowered his head and tapped lightly on the steering wheel, and his tense heartstrings finally loosened.

He had acted so relaxed and indifferent in front of Xiao Wu before, but once he brought up this topic with Meng Qi, Cheng Juncai found that he was still nervous.After all, they have been friends for many years, and now they are working together to start a business. Whether it is out of friendship or profit, losing Meng Qi as a friend is a loss.

The light on the side of the road came in, and Meng Qi's expression could be seen clearly. He seemed to smile, "I thought you knew me very well, but I didn't expect you to think about so many unnecessary things in private."

Cheng Jun raised his head and said helplessly: "Senior brother, you don't understand the psychology of people like me. You are too sensitive and fragile, and I have no parents to care for since I was a child. It is difficult for me to trust a person wholeheartedly. Among many Among my friends, you are already the one I trust the most, so I am more careful, and I dare not easily speculate on your thoughts."

Meng Qi nodded, "So I'm very lucky." He turned his head, "Then, it doesn't matter what I said before when I graduated and got married, right? The child was... a surrogate?"

Cheng Jun paused for a few seconds, then shook his head, "It's not a surrogate."

Meng Qi didn't know why.

Cheng Jun started the engine and said, "I'll tell you about this later, let me be mentally prepared."

This weekend, Cheng Jun and Meng Qi went to Mermaid Bay together and met the village chief.The village head wanted to take them to visit the farmers. Meng Qi shook his head, saying that would take too much time, and asked the village head to call those farmers to the village head's house for a meeting.The village head did as he said, but in the end, less than five people came, and even these people looked absent-minded.

Those farmers are now rich, and it doesn’t matter to them whether the land is sold or not. Their mentality is roughly the same: If your developer wants to buy land, let me post it myself?What a beautiful idea, we didn't beg you to buy the land, and we don't lack the money, so if you want to buy it or not, what are you pretending to be!

Facing those four people, Meng Qi got angry inside.

Cheng Jun can understand Meng Qi's mentality very well. He is the young master of a rich family. He has been used to bossing around people since he was a child, and he also pays attention to efficiency in doing things. It is normal to be angry in this situation.

The village head took advantage of Meng Qi's many benefits, so he patiently comforted him from the sidelines. Cheng Jun's heart moved, and he said to the four people: "Can you bother the four of you to go back and inform the other people? We were already in the development zone before we came. There is a banquet in the hotel, if everyone doesn't come, the good food and drink on the two tables will be wasted."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the four people who were still a bit indifferent looked better, and they reluctantly expressed their willingness to go back and try it out, to see if they could persuade everyone to come.

Cheng Jun smiled gratefully, "Then I will trouble you four."

In fact, he already has full confidence in his heart. He grew up here. He used to call the elderly people here uncle and aunt in the past. thorough.Those four spoke reluctantly, but they were probably already laughing in their hearts.

Meng Qi immediately called and booked a large box in the hotel in the development zone, and asked the waiter to prepare two tables of good wine and food, and then the two of them waited for those people to come by themselves.

Things were exactly as Cheng Jun thought. Except for the three or four farmers mentioned by the village chief who were unwilling to sell their land, everyone else came.Meng Qi looked at Cheng Jun without saying a word, but he couldn't hide the meaning of "I really belong to you" in his eyes.

The rural areas are all run by men, and men are the ones who come most often on such occasions. The villagers who have never eaten in a hotel and enjoyed the service of waiters have changed their previous casual attitude, and enthusiastically competed with Cheng Jun and Meng Qi for wine at the dinner table.In order not to delay their business, Cheng Jun and Meng Qi were very careful when drinking. After the meal, they basically cheated, so after the meal, they were able to come up with a pre-drawn agreement for the villagers to sign.

With this meal and wine, the signing went very smoothly, and everyone happily signed their names on the agreement.

Looking at the thick stack of agreements, Cheng Jun was very excited. He had already taken a small step towards his goal.

"Next are the few nail households. I asked the village chief to give me information about them, such as family background, population, occupation, and interpersonal relationship..." Meng Qi drove with one hand, and opened the office desk with the other. He took out a stack of papers from his bag and handed them to Cheng Jun, "Look at these companies, where you grew up, and see if you can think of a way to take them down based on this information."

Cheng Jun flipped through the paper, and found a total of four pieces of information, each of which was very detailed, so detailed that every member of the family had any medical history.Cheng Jun couldn't help asking Meng Qi, "These materials are not only provided by the village chief."

Meng Qi didn't hide it either, "I found someone else to investigate those people, and it's very convenient to check for simple families like them. Two of them probably didn't want to sell the land, but wanted to delay the time to raise the land price. The other two One household is because the man is not at home and the woman cannot be the master, and the other household is really economical. He has seven acres of land and can build a good hotel in the future, but he doesn't have that much money to do it. "

Cheng Jun was secretly a little startled. Although he knew Meng Qi was a cautious and considerate person in college, always waiting for the opportunity to act, but now he really felt the quieter side of him.

Cheng Jun felt ashamed.

Hurrying back to T City from Mermaid Bay, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening when entering the city.Cheng Jun sent Meng Qi back to his sister's house first, and then returned to his own.

Cheng Jun walked in lightly, for fear of waking Chou Chou who was sleeping on the sofa.He went into the bathroom in the dark, turned on the light after closing the door, took off his clothes to take a bath, and walked to the front of the fish tank. He was shocked to find that the bathtub was filled with clear water, and there was a beautiful dark orange clownfish half a meter long in the water like a statue.

Cheng Jun: "..."
