Chapter 89: Don’t get married!
March 18, 2011 17:30
Zhou Ning sat in the office, staring at the large transparent screen in front of him. He was hesitating whether to submit the task. After all, submitting it would mean giving up the third option, and Zhou Ning was unwilling to do that.
Although it’s a dish, he still wants to try it.
However, eight days have passed and there has been no progress in the investigation. Confidence has been eroded bit by bit over time.
All the andrology and infertility departments of all hospitals in Qindao have sent people to check, and there are only about a dozen people in total who have had their genes checked and have XXY genes.
The information of these dozen people has been carefully checked. Five of them have obvious female characteristics, but their male characteristics are incomplete or hidden in the abdominal cavity, and they have already undergone relevant operations. Two are teenagers between twelve and thirteen years old, and the remaining few are between forty and fifty years old.
The diagnosis is made because of the absence of children or because of abnormalities found during the physical examination.
There was only one patient who was 26 years old and had complete male characteristics. After checking his identity information, we found out that his name was Zhu Junle. After contacting him, we learned that he worked in Yunlian Port and had not returned to Qindao for a year.
This person’s identity information is now displayed on Zhou Ning’s computer screen.
Although this young man has a very neutral appearance, his slightly raised lips and relaxed brows make him look very sunny. After all, his ID card photo looks like this, so he must be good in person. Zhou Ning slowly closed the picture.
Da Zhao walked in quickly and saw Zhou Ning staring at the computer. He glanced at the time in surprise.
"It's half past five and you're not off work yet?"
Zhou Ning glanced at Da Zhao and turned off the phone.
"You didn't leave either."
Da Zhao came over.
"I just passed by Xu Da's office and heard him on the phone. Captain He and his team have arrived in Huining Province. The two deceased have been checked. They haven't contacted their families for almost three years. Blood samples have been taken from their families. The results will be out tomorrow, and we will compare the DNA reports."
This discovery gave Zhou Ning a boost.
"Have you compared the photo with the reconstruction?"
Da Zhao nodded.
"Captain He said it was exactly the same."
"Then let's wait for the comparison results. Captain He and the others are going to continue to visit the other people's homes?"
"Well, of the twelve suspects, seven have been found and can be ruled out. The rest are still in the process of joint investigation. There is not much we can do. Let's go home quickly."
Zhou Ning smiled.
"Okay, I'll pack up and you take me to the Sheraton Hotel."
"Comrade Zhou Xiaozhou, your blind date is now of such a high standard, damn, you are pretending again!"
Zhou Ning punched Da Zhao, quickly put on his coat and picked up his backpack.
"Today, my sister Zhou Xiaoyu and her boyfriend's families met for the first time. Although Second Aunt didn't agree with this marriage, she couldn't persuade Xiaoyu, so she asked me to go with her to check it out. Actually, it has come to this point, and there is no point in stopping it."
Da Zhao suddenly realized.
"I thought Friday was your blind date. But it's not easy to check a person. Search our system to see if there are any records of executions or penalties."
"I checked this a long time ago. Xiaoyu's boyfriend is also a teacher at No. 1 Middle School. He teaches chemistry and is also the class teacher. I haven't seen what he looks like yet."
Da Zhao sighed and patted Zhou Ning on the shoulder.
"Come on, man. Your sister is already talking about marriage, even though she's only a few days younger than you. We should also have a sense of urgency."
"Come on, are you going to give me a ride?"
Da Zhao raised his hand.
"Send it, we must send it, let's go!"
The two went downstairs, and Da Zhao drove Zhou Ning to the door of the hotel. After getting off the car, he went directly to the designated private room of the restaurant. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his second uncle waving at him.
"Xiao Ning, come and sit here."
Zhou Ning then realized that he had arrived a little late. His second uncle's family and grandfather were sitting on his left, and on his right was an elderly couple, and a short, well-mannered man with glasses. There was a mole on the right side of his nose. It seemed that this was Cui Guanglin.
People in eastern Shandong are generally tall, and his height of less than 170cm is a flaw. After all, Xiaoyu is also 170cm tall. Seeing Zhou Ning come in, he also stood up with a smile. Xiaoyu introduced:
"This is my cousin. Although he is only a few days older than me, he is still my brother. This is Cui Guanglin."
Zhou Ning hurried forward and saw Cui Guanglin took the initiative to stretch out his hands, then he shook hands with him, smiled and nodded. Zhou Ning glanced at the Band-Aid on Cui Guanglin's hand, and when he withdrew his hand, he sensitively clenched his fist.
"Brother, hello, I'm Xiaoyu's boyfriend Cui Guanglin!"
There was a hint of nervousness in the polite tone; Zhou Ning felt a little awkward with this brother-in-law who was older than him.
"Hello, sorry, I'm a little late."
Everyone was seated, the main dishes came up one after another, the old man and the two fathers had a drink, Xiaoyu and Cui Guanglin kept pouring tea for everyone. After all, the second uncle was in charge of logistics and was good at chatting, so they started to get to know .
They told each other everything from work to family situation. In fact, Zhou Ning heard from his second uncle that Cui Guanglin's parents went to the border areas to do educational work. Cui Guanglin was the eldest son, and all the proceeds from the demolition in Qidong were kept for Cui Guanglin.
They also have a son named Cui Guangxu, who is two years younger than Cui Guanglin and works as a lawyer in Yingguo. Two years ago, the old couple also went to Yingguo. This time they came back specifically to arrange Cui Guanglin's marriage. Of course, they will not live in China after that.
Cui Guanglin has been living with his grandparents in Qidong. After his grandparents passed away when he was seventeen, he lived alone for many years. He is a clean person and his life is well organized. After all, from school to work, the old couple does not have to worry about him.
This introduction is very consistent with the three views of the previous generation: family-oriented, clean, dutiful, and filial. These four points are all plus points. Of course, the reason why they think about finding a partner and getting married at the age of 32 is mainly the responsibility of their parents.
As for marriage, if the Zhou family has any requirements, they can just mention them directly. If they have no objection to the betrothal gift, I will give 131,400 yuan as a gift for a lifetime of companionship.
The wedding house was paid in full and was directly changed to the couple's name. There was no need to prepare a car, after all, Cui Guanglin had just changed to a silver-gray Teana, and he had only had the car for a month.
Hearing this, the expression on Second Aunt's face relaxed a little. After all, this sincerity was still touching. It showed that the Cui family also valued Xiaoyu.
Looking at the tall Cui's father and mother, Second Aunt said with a hint of regret:
"It doesn't matter whether the money is large or small, or whose name is written on it. The future is prepared for the two of them. Our family has no complaints. They have a good relationship, which is better than anything else. It's just that Guanglin doesn't seem to be as tall as Xiaoyu, and he is a little thin. Why don't you go for a physical examination first? This is something that is responsible to both parties."
Cui Guanglin was startled and lowered his eyes slightly. Zhou Ning couldn't see his expression from his angle.
Second Aunt's words were not nice to hear, but it was definitely a mother's concern. However, Mr. and Mrs. Cui were stunned for a moment, and they both looked at Cui Guanglin. When Cui Guanglin looked up again, he was smiling.
"Auntie, our school has physical examinations twice a year. Xiaoyu and I have both gone through the examinations, so you can rest assured."
Second Aunt waved her hand.
"I'm not talking about this physical examination, but the professional pre-marital physical examination, which is to check genes and HPV and see if there are any genetic diseases.
A colleague in our unit checked this, and she screened for hemophilia carriers. After that, if they got pregnant with a boy, they didn't keep the baby, and if they kept the girl, she didn't get sick. This is something you should be responsible for in the future. You can ask Xiao Ning about this, he's a professional."
Second Aunt was a little anxious. Zhou Ning understood what she meant, but she was really considering the child. There is a saying that one should check three generations before getting married. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. One needs to know whether the other party's family has genes that make them susceptible to cancer, as well as the family history.
However, looking at the expressions of the Cui family, Zhou Ning had many questions in his mind. Are they hiding something?
"Don't worry, Auntie. They need to do it later. I will help arrange it. In fact, this is a responsible thing for the other party. I don't think Uncle and Aunt Cui will object . After all, Cui Guanglin is not young anymore. You want to have children as soon as possible after you get married. Who doesn't want to have a healthy baby?"
This sentence made Cui's father and mother nod their heads with smiles on their faces. Obviously, this also meant that the Zhou family was satisfied with the Cui family's arrangement.
"Then I'll have to trouble Brother Zhou to make the arrangements. Guanglin was born prematurely. When we left him, he was less than a hundred days old. He has been weak since he was young, but my family doesn't have any major problems. For the sake of the next generation, let's check it out!"
Xiaoyu looked at Cui Guanglin worriedly. Everyone in the room was smiling, except him, who still had his head slightly lowered. Zhou Ning's eyes did not leave this man. He always felt that Cui Guanglin seemed to be controlling his emotions.
Does he feel that this physical examination makes him lose face?
Or did he feel that the Zhou family's performance did not meet his expectations?
While thinking, Cui Guanglin raised his head and looked directly at Zhou Xiaoyu.
"Xiaoyu, why don't we just call it quits and not get married!"
Zhou Xiaoyu was startled, the cup in his hand fell out of his hand, and he stood up with a pale face.
"Why?"
