Chapter 793 Hitting someone
Seeing the complexity in Zhou Tian's eyes, Nie Huaiyuan sighed deeply and patted his shoulder.
"Xiaotian, some things should be left in the past. Come on, let's go inside first!"
As they spoke, several people walked into the house one after another.
In fact, he had long been aware that his daughter liked Zhou Tian, but he had always held the attitude of not objecting, not refusing, and letting things take their own course. After all, for him, it was gratifying that the two of them could succeed.
But if the two of them didn't work out, it wouldn't be too awkward to date, but who would have thought that Nie Wenqian was so stubborn. After Zhou Tian refused several times, she chose to join the army and took the initiative to apply to go to the border.
Although the damn girl didn't reveal a word, as a father, how could he not know what his daughter was thinking.
Therefore, from then on, although he helped Zhou Tian to exonerate himself verbally, in fact, it was impossible for him not to resent him from the bottom of his heart. This was also the reason why he had several opportunities to meet Zhou Tian but ultimately did not continue.
To put it bluntly, he just couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. Now, with the passage of time, he gradually realized that some things cannot be forced, especially matters of the heart.
This is also the reason why, when he saw Zhou Tian this time, he invited him to his house for dinner. On the one hand, the resentment he had towards Zhou Tian had long since faded away with time, and on the other hand, it was also a way to give both of them a way out.
Nie Huaiyuan's main house is not big. It has three main rooms. Except for the main room in the middle which serves as a living room, the other two rooms on the left and right are bedrooms. In the living room, an octagonal table is placed in the middle, with three chairs around it.
On the right is a cabinet with a portrait of a great man on the wall above it.
Looking at everything familiar in front of him, Zhou Tian even had a sense of paradox.
"Brother Nie, nothing in this family has changed!"
"Change to what?"
Nie Huaiyuan asked the three of them to sit down, then he looked at Nie Wenhua who was standing beside him and said unhappily, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you go and pour some water for your brother Xiaotian and your sister-in-law?"
"Dad, Brother Xiaotian and I haven't seen each other for such a long time. I want to have a good chat with him. I won't go!"
Nie Wenhua couldn't help but speak after being scolded by his father.
"Let's talk. Do you want me to come and talk to you? Go now!"
When Nie Huaiyuan heard his son's words, his eyes suddenly widened, and his expression instantly showed a dignified look without anger. Nie Wenhua was so scared that he immediately stood up and nodded repeatedly, saying, "I'll go, isn't it okay for me to go?"
As he spoke, he muttered a few words and started to make tea.
"Brother Nie, Xiaohua is already this old, please stop scolding him!"
Seeing Nie Huaiyuan's angry face, Zhou Tian couldn't help but persuade him.
"Well, actually, I don't want to scold him, but I have to scold this kid. Look, he is already 23 years old, not young anymore. Logically, he should be the team leader of the textile factory. There are so many female employees in the textile factory. You think he should find a partner, but who would have thought that this kid has never thought about it. Do you think your sister-in-law and I can not be angry and anxious?"
"Xiao Qian is already thirty-three and still not married. Should we let this boy learn from his second sister?"
As he spoke, Nie Huaiyuan couldn't help but complain about his children, but as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he suddenly felt the air freeze in an instant.
Especially when he saw Zhou Tian's restless look, the depression in his heart because his children had not gotten married was actually alleviated a little.
"By the way, Zhinan, tell me about your work situation during this period. How is it? Is it okay? If not, do you want your uncle to help you find a new position?"
Feeling something strange, Nie Huaiyuan pretended to know nothing and instead looked at Zhou Zhinan standing beside him.
"No need for that, Uncle Nie. I feel very good during my time in Personnel Section 3. Although it is a bit tiring, at least it is fulfilling. Moreover, over the past month, I feel more familiar with the steel mill!"
This is true. Although the Personnel Department 3 is a bit busy, he is becoming more and more familiar with the situation of the steel mill as he is busy. At least, he can now clearly see many shortcomings in the operation and management of the steel mill.
This is undoubtedly the greatest help to him. If he were in another department, he doesn't think he would be able to do this unless his family members are in the leadership of the steel mill.
"That's right, Zhinan, your father and I used to have a very good relationship. If you have any difficulties, just come to me directly!"
Nie Huaiyuan smiled, but in his heart he liked Zhou Zhinan very much. Perhaps it was because he loved Zhou Zhinan so much, or perhaps he really liked the youthfulness in Zhou Zhinan, so he couldn't help but reach out and rub his head.
"Dad, Brother Xiaotian, Zhinan, sister-in-law, have some tea!"
Just as the four were chatting, Nie Wenhua came in from outside with a pot of tea. He first took out four ceramic jars from the cabinet and placed them in front of the four people one by one. Then he picked up the teapot and poured more than half a cup for them one by one, and then sat down next to Zhou Tian again.
"Thank you!"
Among them, Shen Yulin and Zhou Zhinan thanked Nie Wenhua and began to sip their tea carefully. After all, they knew that the purpose of Nie Huaiyuan inviting them here was to let them come up and get to know the family.
Soon, as Tang Lili's meal was ready, a large table of dishes was placed on the table. At the table, as Zhou Tian, Nie Huaiyuan and Nie Wenhua drank, past events kept coming out of their mouths.
Especially the matter of Nie Wen Qian. When Tang Lili found out that her daughter had never married and even stayed in the army and didn't come home because of Zhou Tian, she couldn't help but curse Zhou Tian for being ruthless on the spot.
However, Zhou Tian did not retort about this matter. In addition, he felt guilty towards his sister-in-law, so he did not dare to refute. He let his sister-in-law scold him for half an hour before she finally stopped.
But perhaps because the matter was completely revealed, the atmosphere at the dinner table became more familiar.
After finishing his meal, Zhou Tian refused Nie's family's offer to see him off and drove towards home. It was already dark at this time, with only thick dark clouds covering the sky, blocking out the sun. The streets of the entire city were unusually quiet except for the dark grey street lights on both sides of the road.
From time to time, the crows' calls could be heard in the sky, adding a bit of vitality to this unusually quiet night.
"Don't run, you bitch, don't run!!"
"Don't run, chase her, don't let her go!"
Just as Zhou Tian was driving across a street, a figure suddenly rushed out from his blind spot, causing him to slam on the brakes. Instantly, the entire jeep slid forward a few steps due to inertia.
Then, as a groaning sound was heard in the night, Zhou Tian was immediately startled and hurriedly got out of the car to check.
When he saw a woman in a floral cotton jacket lying on the ground with her legs covered in front of the car in front of him, he hurried forward, leaned over to help the woman up and asked, "Little girl, are you okay?"
