Ode to joy

Chapter 216

"How do you calculate? The two men have to decide in person. Marriage is not a child's play. Come, eat. After all, they are from the same town, and the dishes they buy are similar in taste. After eating, mom dictates, you send a text message to your dad Let's say hello first. But they are all well behaved people, so it should be easy to talk."

Of course Qiu Yingying didn't dare to tell her father that Ying's father mistook Guan Juer for her. She felt that her father didn't know about it, so she felt more confident in her heart.

Andy went to the hotel box first.This restaurant is located near the Ode to Joy community. Andy made a round trip home, put down his bags, and arrived at the hotel in more than enough time.The restaurant is refreshing and homely. You can tell at a glance that the price of the dishes will not be ridiculously high, but there must be a few special dishes.Only Fan Shengmei, who is keen on street sweeping, can find this kind of just right restaurant.

The second person to enter the door was Qu Xiaoxiao.Once Qu Xiaoxiao came, there was no peace in the box. "It's just you? Baby Guan Guan isn't with you? Put your hands away, you are beautiful in everything else, except that your hands have big joints and are completely working people's hands. Eh...wait a minute."

As soon as Andy saw Qu Xiaoxiao enter the door, he smiled and raised the back of his left hand, but Qu Xiaoxiao gave him a slap in the face, and put down his hand resentfully. "Xiaoguan now has a special car to pick him up, so he won't be traveling with me anymore."

Qu Xiaoxiao sneaked up to Andy's side, grabbed Andy's left hand and looked, "Diamonds are shining, good workmanship, brand-name goods, Mr. Bao is generous. You have made a deal? If you make a deal, you have to treat me as a guest. You two are completely made by me." Got it together. Am I the first to see it? Obviously not. You're in for a treat anyway."

"Next time Baozi comes, I'll ask if everyone has time."

"Ask me alone."

"It's boring for you to face us alone. Anyway, in the name of rewarding you, okay?"

"You can have this. Let me ask you, has Guan Guan mentioned the police brother to you?"

"Why don't you ask me why I suddenly accepted the proposal, or why Baozi suddenly proposed at this time."

"You two don't have much gossip, you can figure out what's going on with your toes. You drink tea slowly, I remembered, someone must have brought Guan Guan, I will go to the door and take a look."

Andy watched Qu Xiaoxiao go out dumbfounded.This person is so gossip, even though he knows that Xie Bin is not easy to mess with, he still can't restrain his hands and feet, which makes Andy, who is not good at gossip, amazed.Where did this come from?

Qu Xiaoxiao walked out of the private room, and sent a text message to Dr. Zhao who was dragged by the operation again, "Andy is wearing an engagement ring", but after much deliberation, she deleted it and never sent it.She pouted a little, lost her mind a little, and then regained her vivacity.

Soon, Qu Xiaoxiao was sitting by the window along the street and saw Guan Juer and Police Officer Xie walking hand in hand.The spring breeze is blowing, even if the streets of the city are a little bit colorful, but although the eyes of these two people are intertwined and affectionate, they are still lost in the world of mortals. No one can see that these two people have just fallen in love.

Qu Xiaoxiao pays special attention to Police Officer Xie, this boy who was almost abandoned by his parents, this boy who came out of a village so poor that he couldn't cover his buttocks, this boy who grew up in his stepfather's house without a name and no division, Qu Xiaoxiao I thought to myself, there must be some clues revealed, right?If not, this person is too deep and terrifying.

When crossing the road, Xie Bin was as relaxed and comfortable as all urban youths. It can be seen from his body language that he was distracted to protect Guan Juer.In fact, Guan Ju'er is also able to do a job with ease, and does not need the protection of others.But Qu Xiaoxiao thought, if she crossed the road with Dr. Zhao, Dr. Zhao would definitely put his arms around her, the car was on the left, he stood on the left, the car was on the right, and he switched to the right.That feeling of being protected is especially good.She, Qu Xiaoxiao, grew up in Haishi and lived in New York, so she had never seen any traffic, but at that time she huddled in Dr. Zhao's arms like a bird, enjoying this kind of meticulous care.That's what she wanted.

The corners of Qu Xiaoxiao's mouth turned up slightly, and she smiled lightly, even she couldn't resist this feeling, let alone Guan Juer.

Then, Qu Xiaoxiao saw Fan Shengmei rushing from the direction of Ode to Joy, and Wang Baichuan standing under the tree on the right side of the hotel.As soon as Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, she paid more attention to the interaction between the two.Apparently, Wang Baichuan saw Fan Shengmei, clutching the handbag with fingers like chicken claws, staring anxiously in one direction.And Fan Shengmei obviously didn't notice Wang Baichuan.Fan Shengmei is wearing a short skirt and short boots today, they seem to be brand new, her whole face is radiant, much more eye-catching than Guan Juer and the others, she just grabs a small bag and walks on the road is the center.

Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't help showing disdain on her face, quickly read Fan Shengmei's whole body, and judged the combined price of shoes and clothing.After this distraction, when his eyes turned back to Guan Juer, he found that the two had already arrived at the door of the shop, and Xie Bin was handing a letter to Guan Juer muttering.Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up again, is this the written experience report that the two of them discussed and exchanged in the legend?At this moment, she really wanted to fly out and snatch the envelope.She was so excited that she stomped on the ground with her feet on the ground, her eyes rolled around, thinking about how to trick this letter into her hands.

Qu Xiaoxiao waited eagerly for Guan Juer to enter the door, but Guan Juer apologized and explained to Xie Bin again that she couldn't finish writing her experience last night because of overtime work.The two talked back and forth, but Qu Xiaoxiao saw Fan Shengmei approaching again.She sat inside anxiously, and muttered alone, "Cough, if you don't come in after closing the door, you can avoid Sister Fan when you are outside Face to face with Wang Baichuan alone, no one will be ashamed, and there will be a good show, see if you know."

It was too late to say, it was too soon, Fan Shengmei walked a few steps quickly, no matter Guan Juer was saying goodbye to Xie Bin and saying goodbye, saying goodbye, she quickly posted Guan Juer.Qu Xiaoxiao looked at it, got up discouraged and turned back to the box.At this point, is there still a good show to watch?
Walking into the private room, I heard Andy, who was looking at the phone, ask, "What did you see?" Qu Xiaoxiao sat next to Andy, thought about it for a while, and wondered, "If I hadn't walked there myself, thank you No, even if I went there personally and saw brother Xie's real body, I still suspect that I got it wrong."

"Can you tell I was raised in an orphanage?"

"It can be seen that you are quite indifferent. You are very hard-hearted at critical moments, and you are decisive in your actions. It can be seen that you have suffered from childhood."

Andy looked up at Qu Xiaoxiao in surprise, and said affirmatively, "But overall, I'm a good person."

"Just don't fight against you." Qu Xiaoxiao heard the movement outside, and turned her head to look at the box door.Throwing Andy stared in surprise, but she soon realized that Qu Xiaoxiao's conclusion was not valid, because not all the other orphans she knew had the same characteristics.She is relieved.

The people outside the door came in sequentially, the first was Fan Shengmei, then Guan Juer, and the last one was Wang Baichuan.Qu Xiaoxiao saw the layout and knew that Fan Shengmei didn't want Wang Baichuan anymore. She laughed and coaxed, "Old Wang, you are the only gentleman today, and I will leave all the matters of pouring wine and tea to you."

Wang Baichuan didn't even have a chance to say anything, and Fan Shengmei greeted her with a smile, "Ah, you all came so early. I just invited Xiaoxie to come together, but he refused."

"Brother Xie, why would you refuse? I think he is reluctant to leave Guan Guan because he sent our little baby Guan Guan here. It must be because of Guan Guan's winking." Qu Xiaoxiao looked at Guan Ju with a smile that was not a smile. Er, seeing Guan Juer staring at her, he smiled mysteriously, turned his head and gave Andy a knowing wink, this wink was full of content, and could sum up a thousand-word long essay.Guan Ju'er looked at it, feeling confused, not knowing what was behind Qu Xiaoxiao's expression.She immediately thought of whether Qu Xiaoxiao had been to Xie's house, and what she heard that made her expression so sneaky.

And Qu Xiaoxiao gave a dry cough, and her face turned normal. "Big Sister Fan is sitting in the chair. You are welcome to treat me today. Don't be too polite."

Fan Shengmei smiled and said: "I'm sorry, it's better to be respectful than to obey." Fan Shengmei pulled Guan Ju'er, and the two sat down together.Abandoning Wang Baichuan, he could only sit opposite the head of the round table, at the door of the box.

Qu Xiaoxiao looked at everything with a smile, not letting go of a single detail.When Wang Baichuan sat down, she slipped another glance at Guan Juer, and sure enough, Guan Juer looked at her inquiringly.She immediately retracted her eyes, and Wang Gu said to him, "Who will order, who will order? I want spinach." Qu Xiaoxiao has always only moved forward bravely, never shrinking back, her abnormality today made Guan Juer even more restless.Is something wrong with Xie Bin?Guan Juer couldn't help touching the envelope in the bag.And all her anxiety fell into Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes.The two of them interacted in such a silent manner that no one else knew.

Andy looked at the menu with Fan Shengmei, and she just ordered a steamed fish. Fan Shengmei had already reported the names of several dishes to the waiter.Guan Juer hurriedly said: "Enough is enough, Sister Fan, there are only a few of us, and we don't eat much at night, ordering too much is a waste."

Fan Shengmei smiled and said, "You all have to eat more for me today." But she stopped after all, and only added another plate of deep-fried shrimp.

Qu Xiaoxiao seized the time to ask Wang Baichuan: "Are you two arguing?"

Wang Bochuan hesitated, refused to answer, and changed the subject, "How is your negotiation with Italy? Can it be finalized? If yes, I will arrange production early."

Qu Xiaoxiao smiled like a fox, "It looks like the problem is serious. Don't be afraid, Lao Wang, I'll cover you."

Qu Xiaoxiao acted as if nothing had happened, Fan Shengmei watched helplessly.Andy watched silently, and suddenly thought that this is called indifference?That's right, she never pays attention to small frictions, as if her nerves are slow, probably because she was worn out when she was a child.But Guan Ju'er was afraid that Qu Xiaoxiao would be offended if he made a sound, so he didn't make a sound.Only Qu Xiaoxiao was active at the table.Qu Xiaoxiao let out a "huh" and looked around, "Sister Fan, it's time for you to give a speech. You said you have a reason for the treat."

"Talking while eating the food." Fan Shengmei smiled.

"I think you are nervous, your face is twitching. Old Wang, you have to be considerate, just use an excuse to go outside for a walk, and come back after the food is served. Don't wait here to stare at our big sister Fan , causing her to take a deep breath."

Andy immediately turned his face away to hold back his smile, while Wang Baichuan could only forcefully smile at Qu Xiaoxiao.Fan Shengmei couldn't help but think of the night Mr. Li hosted the banquet, that day Wang Baichuan endured all kinds of hardships in front of big customers.

"Okay, let me tell." Fan Shengmei clasped her hands in front of her chest, still smiling beautifully. "These six months have been the hardest for me. During these six months, many turning points have taken place in my family, as you all know. Fortunately, there are you, everyone, and Xiaoqiu for your substantive help during these six months, as well as The spiritual support allowed me to get through this difficult time. I thank you all. Tonight, I am very grateful to you for attending the banquet. Andy rarely eats out now for safety reasons. Xiao Qu is very busy and tired. He just came back from a business trip today, Xiao Guan turned down regular overtime work, and Wang Baichuan turned down so many entertainments, you all gave me face. I thank you all."

I specially climbed up to convey a certain man's opinion, faithful to the original work:
1. Marry a wife, of course Fan Shengmei (everyone go find glasses).Reason: There is a saying in our hometown, which is not pleasant but true: buy a pig without a pen.Besides, she doesn't have any serious problems, and her family's affairs are easy to handle: if she has money, convince her brother, pay her sister-in-law, and ask her sister-in-law to serve her father; Her father (uh, a man's way of thinking, convincing her brother is the key).The reason for marrying her is that she is beautiful, capable, kind, er, and can dress up.

2. Resolutely do not marry Xiaoqu.Her friends and her experience made people worry about the color of her hair. Moreover, if the two of them talked about the deep things she didn't understand, she must be annoyed when they said that the parents were short-sighted, talking about business?Then find a man.

3. Xiaoguan, introduced to relatives' children.Why?That and that don't seem pretty enough.

4. Xiaoqiu, in fact, from the point of view of your mothers, marrying Xiaoqiu will prevent any troubles in the family, and men don't need to be splinted.From a man's point of view, it seems that they are not beautiful enough, and being stupid seems to affect the IQ of the next generation.

5. Andy, if she is willing to marry, of course she will. The problem is that if she is not careful, she may take my son and leave.

6. It is suggested to change the name of this book: "The Compass for Marrying a Wife".

I was thinking about the five girls in "Ode to Joy", if each of them were described as a flower, what would it be?Guan Guan, I plan to use sweet-scented osmanthus.

▼禯禯

Guanguan—Osmanthus fragrans, just like the person. :-)

Xiaoqiu - morning glory?Don’t get me wrong, morning glory is called morning glory in English. Xiaoqiu’s optimism is quite GLORY, and the morning glory is very rough. It can grow and bloom anywhere. It is more grass-rooted and sturdy, and it is also like Xiaoqiu.

Xiaoqu—Rose (beautiful and fragrant but with thorns), Xiaoqu is beautiful and resourceful, but in fact it is still good inside, but it is so skinny, so restless, and sometimes so annoying, isn't it just fragrant and "thorny"?

Or can use lotus to describe Andy?In Hinduism and Buddhism, the lotus is the flower of the wise.

▼Bubble

Andy, I have thought about orchids—Konggu Youlan, and I saw the lotus recommended by Xuan Xuan, and I think the lotus is better.

▼lizi
Xiaofan used to be a plastic flower (according to Xiaoqu and Baozi, old-fashioned). Now that she has an epiphany, she doesn't know what kind of flower it is, maybe peach blossom?There are many styles, beautiful and attractive, but there is always a little tackiness in it.

▼禯禯

I finally figured out what kind of flower Xiaofan could be——Hibiscus, its flowers are as brilliant as clouds, extremely beautiful (can compete with roses), and look like peonies (but they are not peonies after all, everyone understands what I mean, haha), vitality Among the wood hibiscus, there is a kind of "drunk hibiscus" whose flower color is white and red at dusk, and its color will change during the day.Perhaps, Xiao Fan will transform from a chrysalis to a butterfly after going through a period of difficult mental journeys?

Thinking of Qingwen in "A Dream of Red Mansions" is also Mu Furong, great!
▼kaixin
Guanguan is tuberose, small and inconspicuous, but faintly fragrant;

Xiaoqu is a cactus, stinging, but the flowers that bloom are bright and large, it does not need green leaves to set off, it is very unique;

Xiaoqiu is a dandelion;

Xiaofan is the Chinese rose;
Andy is a short-lived epiphyllum, and he only blooms for himself.

▼ics3hw
Ying Qin kept shouting at the side: "Don't hit, don't hit again, you'll hurt Xiaoqiu. She's misunderstood." Here, this person is not a good match.

▼赞
Looking at it carefully, thinking about this sentence, sure enough, Ying Qin still thought that his wife should be pure and flawless in sex, and Xiao Qiu still made mistakes in his heart.This kind of mentality will inevitably lead to troubles in the future

The happiest thing is to see readers dig out the balls I buried between the lines.
