Ode to joy

Chapter 56

Qiu Yingying was proud, "I want to buy bread in the future, tell me, I'll bring it for you. I'll go back next week."

"Okay, next time you see sliced ​​bread, take two bags for me, thank you in advance."

Qiu Yingying was very happy that even Andy recognized this bread, she happily agreed and went back to sort it out.

Guan Juer entered 2201, and then said coyly: "Last time... I told you... I met a person... that person just now."

Andy was surprised, "He? Dr. Zhao. Xiaoqu's friend. Today he lost a lot of anger in a card game, and Xiaoqu is being mean-spirited. He is not very happy." Andy paused, looked at Guan Juer's face, and simply said something Through, "One weekend, I saw Dr. Zhao staying overnight at Xiao Qu's house."

Guan Juer was taken aback, slightly frustrated, "Then, forget it. Thank you. I'm going back to the house."

Andy couldn't say anything, so he opened the door and sent Guan Juer away.But as soon as Guan Juer left, Qu Xiaoxiao rushed over from 2203. "Andy, I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't mean to speak ill of you. I just lost my temper. Dr. Zhao seemed to blame me again. I'm so annoyed and confused. Tell Brother Wei that I didn't mean that."

"He's not angry. I'll pass on your words to him. Dr. Zhao lost badly tonight and feels uncomfortable. You can explain to him later."

"Andy, you don't blame me, do you? I really didn't mean it, I just blurted it out."

"It's not a big deal. What's wrong with you today? You've lost all your instincts? Come on, sit down, find some water for yourself, and I'll read a few reports."

Qu Xiaoxiao watched Andy turn on the computer, thought for a while, and left.She thought Andy looked normal.Andy squinted at the door she just went out for several seconds.

After waiting for a few more seconds, there was no sound of door slamming when Qu Xiaoxiao entered the door of 2203.Andy couldn't help twirling his eyes for a while with his chin resting on his cheek. He let out a "hum" from his nostrils, and sent a text message to Singularity, "If you place an order before twelve o'clock, please call me. I want to ask why you make such a fuss."

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for a call from Singularity to come in.Andy connected and asked, "Is the order placed so quickly?"

"No, I saw a kebab stall when I turned around. Both of them felt hungry, so they decided to sit down and eat something before leaving. You guessed it right. I'll explain it to you later. Don't worry about it. I don't It's going to be bad."

"Oh. Kebabs? Didn't the papers say it might be Tom and Jerry's meat?"

"Uh, you guys..." After Qidian painfully choked out three words on the phone, there was no voice on the other end of the phone, only noise.After a while, Dr. Zhao picked up the phone, "Brother Wei is vomiting. He gestured for me to tell you something."

"Ah, what's the matter? Is it because I said that the kebabs may be cat and mouse meat?"

"Haha, really? Poor brother Wei, you threw him the last straw. We started discussing while we were waiting for the mutton skewers, what is the temperature of the smoke, and is it enough to kill the parasites, eggs, and pathogens in the mutton?" Bacteria, etc. I am also interested in this topic, so I listed the possible parasites and symptoms in mutton for discussion in detail. Obviously, although Brother Wei swallowed the kebabs resolutely, there was a lump in his heart. The acid reflux went to The esophagus and throat will be uncomfortable. Well, he did the right thing, taking mineral water from the trunk to dilute the stomach acid in the esophagus."

"It's impossible for him to be so delicate. Where are you, I'll go over and see if he has eaten anything."

"With me here, don't be afraid. Brother Wei will tell you himself." Qidian took the phone in Dr. Zhao's hand, forced a smile and said, "Don't come here, it's late, and you don't know the way. Nothing else , I really need some mental anesthetic to eat with the doctor. While talking about tapeworms, Dr. Zhao calmly bit open a piece of seemingly uncooked mutton, checked the white particles on the mutton, explained what the white particles might be, and then calmly Eat it, my stomach was already pantothenic at that time."

Doctor Zhao smiled and said, "I warned you that it is dangerous to discuss this issue. Haha."

Singularity said: "Emotional accumulation is terrible. If you don't channel it, it will be like me. Andy, don't worry about me."

"Are you implying to me that you saw that Xiaoqu and Dr. Zhao's emotional accumulation was approaching the extreme, so you made a big fuss to end the game? But why did Xiaoqu come here specifically to ask me to convey my apology to you? This is not like her character. "

"Unexpectedly, she is a smart person. I will tell you in detail later."

The doubts in Andy's mind were confirmed, but she didn't expect that there would be more explanations after Singularity's behavior. Could it be that they are still interlocking?

Guan Ju'er returned to 2202 disappointed, and was caught by Qiu Yingying just after entering the door, "Hey, you, I listen to Andy's experience every day at work, do you have any good money-making tricks that suit me? Did you just go to her again to ask for tips? "

Guan Juer was stunned for a moment, looked at Fan Shengmei's door, and said, "Sister Fan doesn't like to go to bed early, will she catch a cold? Recently, the flu broke out in our office, and today a business trip has to be postponed."

Qiu Yingying didn't suspect him, so the topic was immediately changed, "Maybe, Sister Fan got up very late this morning. I bought a chicken leg, why don't you make a pot of chicken soup for Sister Fan? I'll look for the recipe, I don't know What should be added to the chicken soup."

"If you meet Sister Fan first, tell her that I have several kinds of cold medicine here."

Fan Shengmei couldn't fall asleep at all, she just huddled under the quilt and stared blankly.Hearing that Qiu Yingying outside said that she was going to cook chicken soup for her, her heart that had been supporting her for several hours suddenly dissipated. A few seconds ago, she thought of herself as a heroine who turned the tide. How much will be the follow-up expenses after a sum of money, and what should she do after her limited deposit bottoms out.But the care of a bowl of chicken soup made Fan Shengmei realize that she is just a weak woman, even if she is chopped into mud, it is not enough to fill her brother's bottomless pit.Didn't she review and refrain from taking any action before, why did she commit a crime again today and promised to send money to her mother to solve her brother's troubles?
But when she thought of debt collectors raging at her parents' house, she could only sigh, what could she do, what could she do, what else could she do.You can't just watch your parents get beaten up and your house evacuated.Fortunately, my brother will be released soon, and when my brother comes out, there will be a debtor and a debtor, so she let go of it.

Outside the thin bedroom door, there was the sound of pots and pans, and Fan Shengmei realized that Qiu Yingying was making chicken soup for her.She wanted to stop it, but she was too upset to see people, too lazy to pretend nothing had happened, she wanted to escape, she wanted to escape every day, to a place where no one knew her, and started from scratch with bare hands.

After a busy meal in the kitchen, Qiu Yingying ran to Guan Juer to continue the topic just now.Guan Ju'er is upset, she can't imagine that the Apollo-like man in her heart has that kind of relationship with Xiao Qu, and doesn't Xiao Qu still have Yao Bin?What a mess.She scratched her head trying to drive the image of that man out of her mind, but these days when she was alone, her imagination had attached too much halo to that man, and he couldn't get rid of that man.Regarding Qiu Yingying's question, Guan Ju'er could only answer with restraint: "Andy is not good at handling our small-scale money, so I ask her for advice on work."

"Ah, I remembered, even Xiaoqu asked Andy about the company's problems last time, and Andy said he didn't know."

Qiu Yingying didn't know that when she mentioned Xiaoqu, Guan Juer would get upset, so she said that she was happy. "I went with the lunch box I made myself at noon today. I thought everyone would say I was stingy, but everyone said I made it myself. Only the store manager didn't let me eat it in the store, because I was afraid that it would smell like food. Affects the aroma of coffee in the whole room. I will go upstairs to eat in the company office. Be brave? You are not afraid of other people's eyes. You just have to find a way, you can't always eat hot water to make cold rice."

Guan Juer continued to restrain himself, "Xiaoqiu, it's useless to save money. Even if you don't eat or drink, you can save a month's salary, which is only enough to buy a house of two square meters a year. To increase income and reduce expenditure, the first thing is to increase income."

"Where can I open source? I grabbed brother Wei's big businessman to ask for advice, but I didn't get any tricks. Alas, my brain is really broken. Why do I only think about money every day now. But I will have a small amount from next month. Savings, should I hand over the savings to my parents, or keep it for my own investment?"

"What do you invest in? Stocks? I suggest that you do your job well first. There is room for improvement in your job, and you can get a high commission based on your business volume. But, Qiu, don't you think you have changed too much these days? You didn't think about money so much before."

Qiu Yingying said fiercely: "I found that the best way to forget some stupid things I have done is to think about money."

Guan Ju'er was stunned, with all sorts of emotions in her heart, she suddenly dropped her ladylike reserve, clenched her fists to the sky, gritted her teeth and said, "I want to earn money too!" She comes from a wealthy family and always thinks of herself as noble, she doesn't want to talk about money, she always says enough is enough That's it.But when she met Qu Xiaoxiao, especially Qu Xiaoxiao somehow got together with that perfect man, she realized that money is very important.

Qiu Yingying didn't know what Guan Ju'er was thinking, she laughed loudly and said, "Okay, let's make money together, and we'll get Sister Fan later."

Fan Shengmei had been lying on the bed and listening boredly. In the dead of night, the conversation between the two people outside was very clear.

She couldn't help counting all the money she had saved, where did it go?She is really not as good as the two little sisters outside.Fan Shengmei was so irritable that she broke out in sweat.

Just in time, the electric pressure cooker called, pulling all 2202 out of the money eyes.So, everyone went back to the original life track.

It was nearly 12 o'clock when Singularity called Andy because Dr. Zhao had just left.

"Half of the poker troubles are related to you, and I will clean up the mess for you. You play with enthusiasm. When you win three games in a row for the first time, I remind you to let the water go and save some face for Qu Zhao. You didn't care, and you played more and more courageously. At that time, Xiaoqu's face turned red and she started cheating, and she became more and more blatant in the future. It's a pity that Dr. Zhao is so lofty and refused to cooperate with her cheating. When you go from card counting proficiency to human counting , Dr. Zhao has accumulated dissatisfaction with Xiao Qu's dullness, unable to see clearly the reason of failure and continued to cheat. But Xiao Qu was knocked out by you, and he didn't know how to restrain himself. Dr. Zhao was too embarrassed to call stop again, feeling a little annoyed, You still have to resist Xiaoqu's cheating, even being wronged by you for being wronged by the two of you cheating together, I think he has also started to play tricks, after all, he is still young and can't hold back, being wronged by others is okay, being wronged by others is stupid Thieves are probably the lifeblood of a smart man like him. I had no choice but to take the opportunity to stop and feel wronged for Xiao Qu. But obviously Xiao Qu had already known each other after we left, and I stopped for her own good. If she and Dr. Zhao were at the card table Turning faces, the future relationship between the two is not easy to restore. I underestimated her, thought she was a bit stupid, it seems that she just can't play cards, and she is very clear about her life. The process is like this. I have my own considerations. The little guy in Xiaoqu sounds good, he is the owner of a dyeing workshop who gives three points of color, and it sounds bad, but he is not inferior if he is close, and he complains if he is far away. It’s good to give her a little color from time to time.”

Andy was dumbfounded when she heard it. At that time, her mind was either on the cards or analyzing everyone's mentality of playing cards. She didn't think about anything else at all, only knowing that winning was a joy.It wasn't until later that Qu Xiaoxiao came to apologize to her when she was clearly angry, that she saw something was wrong. "Uh, you can put water on it."

"Seeing that you are having such a good time, I am a bit reluctant to interrupt your interest. You will definitely see it if you let go of the water rashly, and it will spoil your fun. It seems that you cannot be allowed to go to the casino."

"I... admit that I have a lot of gambling. I really admire you, you can handle a small matter from so many angles. How did you do it, idol?"

"In a game of cards, you count the cards in everyone's hands as transparent. How did you do that, idol?"

"But I'm so confused, but you are so scheming, idol, I'm a little afraid of you."

"It's not that you can't figure it out, you just don't want to calculate people. I like you like this. I feel that Dr. Zhao is also a similar person. I like people who are honest and unaffected."

"I just found out that Dr. Zhao is really handsome today."

"This, you can't find it. At twelve o'clock, you should rest."

"Idol, good night."

"Who is your idol."

"You are. I'm a little afraid of you, but I'm very worried about you. It's very contradictory. Let me think about what's going on."

Fan Shengmei was so hungry that she couldn't sleep because of the smell of chicken soup that penetrated through the crack of the door.I wanted to get through it and forget it, but I wanted to go to the bathroom again.She had to get up.

Qiu Yingying didn't sleep, she was researching recipes on the Internet and she got excited, when she heard the voice, she leaned her head out to look, and confirmed that it was Fan Shengmei, not Guan Juer, she immediately jumped out and blocked the door of the bathroom.After a while Fan Shengmei came out of the bathroom, Qiu Yingying looked up and down with burning eyes, "Sister Fan, are you feeling unwell after going to bed so early? Do you have a fever?" Qiu Yingying was not as tall as Fan Shengmei, she asked while wrapping her hands around Fan Shengmei's neck involuntarily, pressing down Her head pressed their foreheads together. "It's okay, don't burn it, hug one. I thought you had a cold, so I made chicken soup for you, do you want to drink?"

Fan Shengmei was already very touched when she heard Qiu Yingying cooking chicken soup, feeling that her family members are not as good as her roommates.At this time, after Qiu Yingying's series of caring actions, even though Qiu Yingying only brought out the expected chicken soup, she felt sour for some reason, turned her face away, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.Qiu Yingying didn't see it, and she spoke upright. Guan Juer, who heard the sound, saw that something was wrong, and quickly patted Qiu Yingying, worried: "Sister Fan, what's the matter? If you don't feel well, we will send you to the hospital immediately."

Qiu Yingying jumped up, "Oh, I'll call Andy, she has a car."

Instead, Fan Shengmei held Qiu Yingying back, "Don't, I'm not sick, it's just..." She raised her teary eyes, looked at the two pairs of pure eyes in front of her, bit her lips, and said with determination: "I'm very touched. I'm not sick today. Happy, I didn’t expect you two to care about me so much, I...I..." Fan Shengmei paused again, making up her mind is not so easy, some things are not easy to say, "I have never been subjected to this since I was a child. Thank you for your concern."

But Fan Shengmei made a big decision, but Qiu Yingying didn't understand it deeply, "Sister Fan, it's just a chicken soup, it's not a precious thing, I'm embarrassed by your praise. I will recall it again, when I have a cold or something, my mother gave me What do I eat, spare, and I can use it to impress you in the future. As I said earlier, you are my own sister. When I was most frustrated, you were so kind to me. If I was not kind to you, who would you be kinder to?"

Qiu Yingying blatantly confessed that she was kind to Fan Shengmei. Fan Shengmei burst into tears when she listened, "I really envy your only child, and I will give you all the love in the family. I swear that in the future, I will only have one child, even if I have a daughter, I will only have one child." One, I want to treat my children wholeheartedly."

When Guan Juer heard this, he finally understood why Fan Shengmei was crying.Probably because the family favored sons over daughters, Fan Shengmei did not receive good care since she was a child.But it can be heard that Fan Shengmei is also very patriarchal in her heart.Of course she would not raise objections at this time, but said softly: "Sister Fan is wearing thin clothes, go inside and sit under the quilt and talk, don't catch a cold."

Qiu Yingying pushed Fan Shengmei into the house, and asked, "Sister Fan, your family favors sons over daughters? My father also always complained that my mother gave birth to a daughter for him, which made his ambition difficult to repay, but he was still very precious to me. But It's hard to say, if my mother had a younger brother, I might not be so lucky, which shows that I am destined to be lucky. Sister Fan has an older brother, I remember."

At this time, Fan Shengmei liked Qiu Yingying's straightforward style even more, and she couldn't help but have something to say.But thousands of words came to her lips, and she only said a few words, "Everyone is fate, especially women."
