Ode to joy

Chapter 232

"How can it be so easy to break up? There is always a silver lining, right? Nowadays, young men with civil servant status are very popular. A colleague's daughter in our unit is just looking for a teacher with a career status. Our colleagues are willing to pay the down payment for the new house and the decoration of the new house. Boys don’t need to pay any money, and they can get a wife out of the box. You don’t have an stable job, so you can find a civil servant to be more secure. I think Xiao Xie is doing well, not as good as your high school alumni Lin, but at least his stepfather is a civil servant , Mother's career establishment, I don't need to rely on him in the future, don't be stupid and say no, just don't, how many girls out there insist on marrying someone like him. Give my mother Xiaoxie a call, you are tender-skinned, and my mother will speak for you. "

"No, it's not that simple for me and Xiaoxie. If we break up, we will break up. I'm leaving, and I'm going back to sleep."

Guan Juer was determined to leave, but Guan's mother softened, "Okay, don't go, we won't talk about it, you sleep here tonight, mom and dad squeeze together. We haven't seen each other for a few days? Mom I miss you so much. Look, if mom doesn't care, you will get pimples all over your face." Mother Guan said while giving Father Guan a wink.

Therefore, Guan Fu also persuaded his daughter to stay.Guan Ju'er actually didn't want to leave either, she lost her mind today, she didn't know how much she wanted to stay with her relatives, as long as her parents didn't talk about that topic, how could she be willing to leave.Besides, she was afraid of meeting that man when she went back to the gate.

But she didn't know that when she fell asleep, her mother got up, took out her cell phone, and skillfully called out Xie Bin's number.

The dinner was simple and comfortable, and even Qu's mother, who had no appetite, moved her chopsticks several times.Although Qu Mu was the one who moved the least chopsticks among the three on the table, she still consciously took out her wallet to pay for the dinner.But this time, it was always a matter of course for her to eat, drink, and use her daughter, but reached out to stop her from taking out her wallet. "Let Lao Zhao come."

Mother Qu laughed and said, "If Xiao Zhao's character level can be used to settle the bill, of course I will let Xiao Zhao come. How can the salary he gets from the hospital be enough for us to torment."

Dr. Zhao immediately put the wallet back into his pocket, "Hehe, you're welcome."

Mother Qu was stunned for a moment, seeing her daughter's face full of surprise, she couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm still worried about your discomfort, that's good, that's good."

"That's right, when you're with your mother, you don't eat the rich." Qu Xiaoxiao paid attention to Dr. Zhao's expression, and felt relieved when she saw that he really didn't care.A previous breakup had to do with paying bills, and she was a little jittery.Immediately, recalling Dr. Zhao's movement of Ma Liu'er taking back the wallet, he laughed with confidence.

Dr. Zhao said to Mother Qu: "Report to Auntie: I used to feel uncomfortable, but since I finally decided to be with Ququ, I can't patronize my friend and drag down Ququ's living standard. The two of us are working hard. As long as the two of you are more considerate of each other, don't let your temper fool you, many problems can be turned into small ones, and small things can be turned into nothing."

"Hey, Xiao Zhao, good!" Mother Qu suddenly thought of something, frowned and fell into thinking.

Dr. Zhao was at a loss, seeing that Qu Xiaoxiao was also confused, the two of them covered their faces and turned away from Mother Qu's eyebrows and chattered dumbly. Finally, Qu Xiaoxiao made a final decision: "It's none of your business." Dr. Zhao grabbed Qu Xiaoxiao, no Let her disturb Qu's mother's thinking, and the two drank tea quietly.

It didn't take long for Mother Qu to return to normal with a smile, blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "Just now at home, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on the two of you talking, but just woke up, and heard that you were discussing and discussing things, and it sounded good, so I just listened to you." I don’t want to remember. Xiao Zhao said that he was more concerned about each other. I didn’t expect that you two are doing well at such a young age. Dad worked as a self-employed person together. Later, the old unit was restructured, and no suspension of pay was allowed. I had to decide either to go back to work or resign. My old unit was good and benefits were high. Although the self-employed made some money more than 20 years ago, who knows How will the policy change? Is it unstable? I really couldn’t make a decision at the time, so I went home and discussed with your dad. Your dad analyzed the pros and cons of each with me, and finally your dad asked me to make my own decision. He said he would not intervene, lest I will be blamed in the future. Let me think about it. Just now you two, Xiaoxiao felt that she was good at financial management, so she simply took care of both of them. Xiao Zhao watched a lot in the hospital, so she decided that medical insurance must be done. They both whole-heartedly treat each other's affairs as their own, not afraid of taking responsibility, not afraid of causing trouble, two people of one mind. Thinking about me and Xiaoxiao's father, it turns out that he has never been of one mind with me. Alas, I just understand."

Qu Xiaoxiao was in a daze when she heard this, and said to Dr. Zhao, "Have I given you my whole heart?"

Dr. Zhao said cautiously: "When we two go out, you look at handsome guys and I look at beautiful women. I don't know how alienated we are."

Mother Qu said: "You don't need to be sloppy. The example I gave may be a big deal. I already know what it is."

"Mom, in fact, you have always been clear in your heart, otherwise why would you buy so many storefront houses?"

Dr. Zhao hurriedly said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Mother Qu looked at Dr. Zhao's back and said, "I used to feel very bad, but now I want to figure out what's going on. At first, I thought about it, but he was also in a dilemma. I can't leave the two sons over there. One person has limited energy. After taking care of the two sons over there, you have to neglect me. Thinking about it now, no, he never treats me wholeheartedly. If this is the case, why should I guard him. "

"Well, divorce? No."

Mother Qu sighed: "I don't want a divorce either. It's been half my life, so why bother. Well, Xiao Xiao, as long as I figure it out, I won't go into a dead end, don't worry."

Qu Xiaoxiao asked in horror: "Mom, are you planning to make a move? You're not being polite anymore?"

"I'm not happy to spend time with him. I only care about him when I think of him. You have time to call your mother these days, but mother is still not in a good mood. Mom will be back to normal soon. How will I live in the future? We'll talk about it when I get back to normal. "

"We'd better go to your place tonight. Lao Zhao and I would rather trouble ourselves for a few days and risk our lives to accompany you to become normal."

While dialing Dr. Zhao's number, "Old Zhao, you can get out of the toilet now." Then he asked her mother, "Does daddy have a small coffer? I'll cheat some and use it to vent your anger."

"Hey, if you want to cheat money, you can cheat money, don't use my name." Mother Qu laughed as she said, "Well, it's very good that you and Xiao Zhao are like this, it would be even better if you can get married sooner."

Qu Xiaoxiao immediately moved away and rolled her eyes, "It's very comfortable for us now, so you don't have to point fingers. What about Xiao Xiaoxiao, Xiao Xiaoxiao, oh, you think I'm a mouse spirit, and I can give birth to a litter like this. .I still want to have fun for a few more years.”

"You gave birth to a baby, and mother can help you take care of it."

"Go, play with you too, don't just let go of the stinky old man and carry your delicate daughter on your back. You don't know how to play by yourself?"

Mother Qu couldn't laugh or cry, "Get married early, and I'll help you cheat out of all your father's private money."

Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up immediately.Dr. Zhao happened to come back from a circle outside, and seeing this, he knew that Qu Xiaoxiao was up to something again.

When Fan Shengmei woke up, she heard a sound outside the door, thinking that Guan Juer was spending the night with her parents last night, she suddenly got curious, she tiptoed out of bed, opened the door gently, and sure enough, she saw the new tenant boiling water.A little girl with delicate features and short hair. When she looked at Fan Shengmei, there was no heat in her eyes. She was looking at a passerby.Fan Shengmei couldn't be more polite, and said in a business-like manner: "Girl, let's discuss a few issues. First, the electricity and property fees here are shared equally among three people. Originally, they were all handed over to me. Landlord. Now that you are new here, what are you going to do?"

"I'll hand it over to the agent downstairs. Second?"

"Cleaning of toilets and public areas was originally a day for each person. Do you agree? If you agree, today is your duty day."

"Any more?"

"It's gone." Fan Shengmei suddenly felt a little anticlimactic in her heart, and she couldn't continue talking with the girl at all, so she could only turn around and go back to her nest.She didn't know how the girl looked at her behind her.At this time, she missed Qiu Yingying's kindness.But she still endured it and didn't dare to provoke Qiu Yingying, so as not to ruin the weekend that was finally free from disturbance.

Instead, Qiu Yingying called, and as soon as she got through, she yelled like a machine gun: "Sister Fan, Sister Fan, don't hang up, I apologize, I apologize, I apologize a hundred times, I was too ungrateful last time, You should be angry with me."

Fan Shengmei could only smile and said, "We had a big incident on the 22nd floor the night before yesterday. I don't have time to talk to you, so don't worry about it. Aren't you going out for a walk to stretch your muscles?"

"After my mother cooks the dishes, I plan to go to the hospital to send them to Ying Qin. He said that his mother felt sick from eating in the hospital cafeteria, and would rather eat pickled mustard for dinner. What happened the night before? I found that I was about to leave Organized, don't ignore me, I turned off the phone the night before yesterday, and she turned it off too."

"It's over, it's better not to mention it. When do you go to work?"

"I was going to be on Monday, but Yingqin was discharged from the hospital on Monday. I have to pick him up. Sister Fan, I have recovered so quickly these two days. Really, I am in a good mood, just like eating an elixir. Sister Fan, I miss you so much." You and Guan Guan. When Ying Qin is discharged from the hospital and we go to apply for a marriage certificate, let's have a table."

"Okay, I think it's next week, congratulations first. Let me know in advance when you finalize the date, so I can prepare gifts."

Only then did Qiu Yingying feel relieved, Sister Fan did not abandon her.She went back to the kitchen to help her mother cook, cooking special dishes from her hometown, and she probably liked her mother.

Guan Juer got up surrounded by his parents.Before I opened my eyes, my mother put the squarely folded clothes in front of me, and brought a cup of warm water to my mouth.Guan Ju'er closed his eyes and drank the water, and then he heard his mother say affirmatively: "The mask last night is effective, and a few pimples have disappeared. Keep up the good work. After breakfast, go get your Kaiyin beauty tools, two capsules The ripe ones can be picked out."

"Where's Dad?"

"I'll let your father go to eat first, so that you won't feel uncomfortable when you get up."

Guan Juer got up muttering, her mother had already disassembled the toothbrush provided by the hotel for her convenience.When she was brushing her teeth, her mother insisted on opening the door and came in, chasing after her, "Last night you were in a bad mood and didn't sleep well, so mom won't ask you any more. In fact, mom didn't like Xiao Xie's resume when she saw it. She came from a divorced family. We have seen a few children, and there are always some small problems that cannot be explained. It is not my mother's prejudice... Just brush your teeth, don't spit it out, and listen to your mother."

Guan Ju'er wanted to stop it, but her mouth was full of toothpaste bubbles, and she couldn't speak. Her mother held down the water glass again, preventing her from using it. She could only obediently continue brushing her teeth.

"But no matter how much you don't like him, Xiao Xie is always the person you like, he is also a civil servant, and there is the most important big problem. You are not young anymore. It has been almost two years since you graduated, and you haven't brought anyone home to show me. , I am impatient. A while ago, my friend from Tuohai City helped you find a good boy in the work unit. What did she say? I’m 30 years old and haven’t married yet, and they’re still looking for them all over the street. Seeing the same situation around me, I’m even more anxious. Although your job is okay, but you’re too busy, people looking for wives don’t want you to look like this You don’t eat well, and you look good... Sigh, if you don’t work hard, it’s getting harder every year, and you’re going to be a leftover girl, you know, it’s not your mother who threatens you. Thinking about this, your father and I can only Reluctantly take a step back and go to investigate Xiao Xie on the spot. It’s okay to look at it now, the young man is making progress. The key is that you still have feelings. You don’t have to worry about breaking up or not. It’s not so easy to break up if you have feelings. Find a way to meet Xiao Xie and investigate in person, we are better than you. Alright, wash your mouth."

Guan Juer finally had his mouth empty, and quickly rinsed his mouth and said, "It's not that I'm not being chased by anyone, there are others, really. For example, Senior Brother Lin, Li Chaosheng."

"What do Li Chaosheng's parents do? Are there any brothers and sisters in the family? Where is your hometown?" Seeing that her daughter couldn't answer, Guan's mother said clearly: "Those don't count."

Guan Juer washed her face angrily, speechless, she couldn't jump out of her mother's palm.

After washing my face, my mother's cell phone rang.Guan Ju'er hastily locked the bathroom door behind him, and fell silent.But after a while, my mother shouted outside the door: "Your father just contacted Xiao Xie, he will be here soon."

"What? You!"

"Look, I said no. If it was true, how could he agree to come? Your dad only explained a few words before he agreed. Let me tell you, you are an introvert who can't be changed, and you can't let go. It's a big deal Ah, let's have a few quarrels, and it's over if we can finish talking."

Guan Juer didn't say a word, but joy was evident in her heart.

Qiu Yingying went to the hospital with a bag of vegetables that her mother had just prepared.Her mother insisted on going with her, and she said that she would just take a taxi.But when she was on the road, she felt distressed at the thought of the taxi fare, so she decided to take the subway.Because it was early and it was the weekend, the subway was still not crowded, but she was still frightened by being squeezed, fearing that the wound would worsen.She regretted to death in her heart.

As usual, the elevators in the inpatient department of the hospital are crowded with people.Once again, she was terrified by being squeezed, and finally reached the floor where Ying Qin was, and she hurried out the door.Walking in front of her was a middle-aged man carrying a luggage.She followed the middle-aged man through the long corridor, found the ward, and walked through the door almost backwards and forwards.Amidst the cheers of Ying's mother and son, Qiu Yingying realized that something was wrong, the middle-aged man turned out to be Ying Qin's father.

Ying's mother took Qiu Yingying's hand and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, you came in together. This is Xiao Qiu. His father, why did you come here without saying hello?"

"Anyway, I'm off today and tomorrow, so I'll come here overnight and stay with you for two nights. I'll leave the hospital after Sunday." Ying's father said while looking at Xiaoqiu, "Is this Xiaoqiu? We've called twice already. , this is the first time I’ve met you. Don’t be afraid, I don’t eat people.”

Everyone laughed, but Xiao Qiu couldn't laugh. She wanted to escape, but she couldn't, so she could only smile.Ying's mother took the bag in her hand and said with a smile: "Your mother cooked so many dishes early in the morning, and it happened that his father also came, and we ate together. Help me and thank your mother."

Qiu Yingying still didn't dare to respond, she could only laugh.Ying Qin couldn't help laughing when she saw this, "Xiaoqiu, you are not afraid of anything, but you are afraid of my dad. When my dad comes, you lose your voice. You came just in time, and I just figured out how to optimize your phone. Give me your phone."

Qiu Yingying quickly smiled at Ying Qin's father and slipped to Ying Qin's bedside.Ying's father looked at it in surprise, and Ying's mother said, "It's not quite what I thought."

Ying's father didn't avoid Qiu Yingying when he spoke, Qiu Yingying felt guilty when she heard that, she hurriedly smiled at Ying's father, but this smile was full of ghosts.In a hurry, he accidentally swept the water glass on the bedside table to the ground.Fortunately, it was a Lock sealed cup and it did not break.She quickly typed a line on her mobile phone for Ying Qin to read, "I'm afraid of your father, I can't even speak."

"Why are you afraid of my father? My mother is fierce. Dad, Xiao Qiu can't even speak when he sees you. But Xiao Qiu also talks a lot less when he sees his mother."

Qiu Yingying typed another line, "How about I go back."

"No, it's much better than calling on the phone after waiting for you. Why don't you sit down." Ying Qin moved into the bed to make room for Qiu Yingying.

Ying's mother greeted: "Xiaoqiu, sit down, I have something to talk to his father outside. I don't know how the matter at home is handled."

Knowing that it was about her ex-fiancee, Qiu Yingying stood up straight again, and watched the two go out with a smile.

When Father Ying walked to the end of the corridor, he couldn't wait to say: "No, it doesn't look like it."

"You haven't seen her before. You've only called her. I told you earlier that this girl is a bit stubborn and outgoing."

"No. How about you go back and tell them that I went to the hotel. I'm listening to you outside the door. Did someone call me pretending to be her?"

Ying's mother was startled when she heard that, "That's right. When you called her for the first time, you said that she was very organized. I think if it was her, she must have snot and tears, and her words were incoherent. How was she that day? It’s the clearest. You reminded me, no wonder you didn’t dare to say a word when you heard that it was you.”
