Ode to joy

Chapter 66

Monday morning on the 22nd floor is usually the busiest but most listless.In Fan Shengmei's words, when I think about going to work for five days in a row, I really want to die.However, Qiu Yingying was the busiest and happiest this morning. She had three orders to be delivered today. These three orders were extraordinary, and she took them step by step, and she cherished them very much.Even though the atmosphere in the room was awkward due to the quarrel between Andy and Fan Shengmei last night, and later Fan Shengmei's yelling phone calls, her joy still couldn't be concealed on her face, and she wished she could go to work early to pack the goods.In comparison, Guan Juer's face is much more indifferent, Guan Juer even avoids Fan Shengmei intentionally, so as not to embarrass each other.

When Andy came to ask Guan Juer to go with him, Guan Juer was the only one left in 2202.Fan Shengmei had already quietly gone to work early.Guan Juer was already sober this morning, and knew that there was no one else on the 22nd floor, so when they met, he said, "Andy, don't be angry with Sister Fan, she has something on her mind, and yesterday she lost her composure on the phone and let her beat someone to death , She talked about the sufferer, asking her for money every day, it seems that she has been unhappy a few days ago."

Andy was surprised, but she quickly organized Guan Juer's nonsensical words into shape, "Well, don't worry about this matter, and if you have a way, let Xiaoqiu not ask. I know what's going on, but I don't intend to tell You, what do you and Xiaofan usually do or do, let her be more, as long as you don't pity her."

"Is it because you helped her that this caused conflict? Maybe I can do it. Sister Fan has always been the eldest sister in front of me and Xiaoqiu. She will never feel hurt in front of me."

"I won't let you and Xiaoqiu take this risk. You live in the same house, and it would be very troublesome if you fell out. I will find someone to investigate the phone call you mentioned last night."

There were many people in the elevator, so the two didn't talk anymore.There are more question marks in Guan Ju'er's heart, and it's strange how Andy knows.But there is one thing that is worth gratifying, "Andy, it seems that you are not angry with Sister Fan, that's good."

"No, anger is anger, and doing things is doing things. I just can rationally distinguish between the two."

"Except for parents, other people's help is out of love. If you are angry, you should be angry, and you still recognize Sister Fan as a friend."

Andy couldn't help raising his eyebrows to look at Guan Juer.Guan Juer still persuaded: "When the matter is over, Sister Fan will understand your love. I believe you will forget the dispute last night first. This is a bit disgusting."

Andy still raised his eyebrows, "I was mentally prepared, I was angry that she was slipping farther and farther without thinking." Seeing Guan Juer's inquiring gaze while he was busy, Andy said hurriedly: "I still don't plan to I'll tell you." Andy found that the fiery life turned out to be quite troublesome, and she was so angry that she really wanted to use abandoning logic to solve problems indiscriminately.Facing Fan Shengmei, whose logic was chaotic, she found that her mind was not working.

"Andy, thank you for trying your best to protect me and Xiaoqiu. But Xiaoqiu and I are not young, and we are already working, so we can still take on something."

Andy smiled, "I'll take it into consideration." Guan Juer could only roll his eyes exaggeratedly.Guan Juer's words and Guan Juer's small actions made Andy feel the warmth of life with fireworks.

Caring?When Andy called Wang Baichuan, he was still full of doubts, did she care about Fan Shengmei?Is it love or duty?She is more inclined, her help to Fan Shengmei is an obligation.She has suffered a lot since childhood, and food and clothing are hard to keep. Her outlook on life is that if she can't keep the pot of meat in front of her, she will take it away from her mouth.Until she got a full scholarship and went to the United States to live an unexpectedly rich life, she still ate at her guardian's house like a robbery, scaring her guardian.For this reason, she did not know how much professional psychological counseling she had received before she slowed down the pace of eating; only then did she truly realize that she would not be hungry or cold in the future, and she could support herself.Under the counseling of a psychiatrist, she thought of a question at the same time, she was awarded a full scholarship because of her excellence, so how can a child who is also an orphan like her but with poor grades face the cruel world?Since then, she has started to do charity. She feels that a capable person has the obligation to extend a hand and pull others.For example, Fan Shengmei.But Guan Juer defined this obligatory behavior as caring, and Andy felt that the hat was too big and heavy, which made him uncomfortable.No, she must not care for Fan Shengmei.If so, Fan Shengmei would not be so misunderstood.The extreme misunderstanding of other people's care does not seem to be a foolish thing done by a senior HR who knows people. She had a behavioral disorder that day, but her performance was not bad all the time. She wiped everything out, even if she was impulsive, it was impossible to continue to misunderstand after calming down.Therefore, the counter-evidence results show that it is not caring, but obligation.

Andy called Wang Baichuan, but she did things from beginning to end, even if it was an obligation, she would not give up halfway.

"As you wish, Xiaofan turned against me. But she also seems to have begun to refuse to provide financial assistance to her brother. Facing her brother's request last night, she said fiercely to die. Facing the threat of the sufferer, she Encourage the sufferer to beat her brother to death. What should I do next? Are you still in your hometown?"

"I'm still walking around my hometown. I'll go over tonight to have a look and talk to you later. I'm really sorry to let you charge forward."

"You don't have to tell me that the reason for calling you is that someone may still dare not call home after being ruthless, for fear of being entangled again, but pays attention to what happens at home like an ant on a hot pot. You just tell her go."

Of course Wang Baichuan understood the significance of this call to him, and he was very grateful.Andy put down the phone, and put down the matter with peace of mind.She estimated that this matter should be on a rational track.benign track?She does not ask, can reason already Amitabha.

Qu Xiaoxiao rushed back to Haishi on Tuesday afternoon as if fleeing for her life. The first thing she did was rush to the bank downstairs of the company to withdraw money.

Then I went back to the company to arrange the work arrangement after winning the bid.She was so busy that her mind was in a state of mechanical movement, but her parents called separately and jointly, urging her to attend the family dinner in the evening to celebrate her victory.

Of course Qu Xiaoxiao felt that it was necessary to attend the celebration banquet. First of all, she deserved it. Although the so-called business expenses almost swallowed up all the profits, there was actually nothing to be happy about this victory.Secondly, she has to show off to her father more, force him to admit her ability again and again, and deepen his impression in his heart.At least, her two half-brothers are still living with experienced people in the big branch company, and they have no independent responsibility yet.But what about her own affairs?

When Father Qu heard that his daughter was going to the hospital first, he laughed and said, "Why don't you ask that doctor to come with you?"

Qu Xiaoxiao was extremely depressed, but she was extremely unwilling to admit to her father that she was abandoned, so she could only say: "It's not time. I'm busy, don't bother me now, I'll assign work."

Even though Father Qu was robbed, he still laughed happily with his wife.Any small step for their daughter is like a big step to the moon in their eyes.In order not to disturb their daughter, they took pains to send text messages to her in person, and they were willing to stay at Mingxuan Hotel all night, waiting for her daughter to go to the hospital to finish her work and have a celebration barbecue feast together.A text message from Qu Xiaoxiao almost brought Qu’s father to tears, “Don’t eat too much while you’re waiting, I’ll bring you a bundle of green sugar cane.” Green sugar cane was Qu’s father’s favorite when he went to the countryside. Snacks, I often miss and talk about them after returning to the city, but it is a pity that the market is rich in red-skinned sugar cane now, and Qu's father wants to be nostalgic but can't get it.Unexpectedly, his daughter helped him think about it, so why not move Father Qu.

Qu Xiaoxiao and her colleagues held meetings until nearly seven o'clock before finishing work, and hurried home to tidy up.Of course, she couldn't show up in the hospital in a hurry. What if Dr. Zhao was there.

Walking out of 2203, Qu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of one thing, how to make things happen naturally, without deliberation.

She stood at the door, her eyes rolled back and forth, she thought about it, and decided to ask someone to go with her.Look at 2201, there is a light coming through the crack of the door, besides, Andy understands this, she wants to ask Andy to go with her.But when Andy opened the door, he couldn't let go of the book, couldn't take his eyes off the book, and refused very straightforwardly, "I don't have time to accompany you while reading."

Qu Xiaoxiao leaned down to look at the cover, "Ha, it's not a serious book. Come with me and do good deeds."

"Your things are even more boring. You have a lot of ways to do it alone. I have a plan tonight. I have to read two books and write two Weibo comments. If you don't believe me, you can read Weibo in the middle of the night."

Qu Xiaoxiao looked at the thickness of the book, thick!Silently, turn around 180°, and start to walk.But come to 2202, pause, knock on the door.It was Qiu Yingying who came out.

Seeing that it was Qu Xiaoxiao, Qiu Yingying shouted coquettishly and opened her arms.Qu Xiaoxiao hastily leaped out in a conditioned reflex to avoid Qiu Yingying's bear hug.Andy hadn't closed the door yet, so he laughed out loud at this, and Qu Xiaoxiao was afraid sometimes.

Standing in the distance, Qu Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand to make a gesture of refusal, "Don't come, I'm serious. There is such a thing, a child of a migrant worker, his father died early in a car accident, and now he has another car accident and is lying in the hospital waiting for medical bills." .I’m going to donate right now, but I’m thin-skinned, and I’m afraid that if people thank me, I won’t be able to step down. I need you to go with me. Stinky Andy refuses to accompany me.”

Andy was not in a hurry to go back to the house to read, and smiled to see Qu Xiaoxiao making trouble, and said when he heard this: "Ingratitude, forgot who informed you?"

"I'm talking about stinky Andy, just like you stomping your feet and calling Wei Wei stinky Wei Wei to death. Smelly Yingying, let's go together."

In fact, there is no need for Qu Xiaoxiao to ask a second time, Qiu Yingying has already followed. "But I really don't have as much money as you. Why don't we go to the supermarket and I'll buy some milk powder and fruit before it closes."

While talking, Qiu Yingying went back to the house, put on her coat, took her bag, looked through the money in the wallet, and rushed out, all in one go.Before Qu Xiaoxiao screamed "Did you bring the key?" Qiu Yingying slapped her head, saying it was over.But thinking about it, Guan Juer should have gone home by then.

Qu Xiaoxiao pressed the elevator to pull Qiu Yingying in, and blew a kiss to Andy by the way. "Is Miss Fan not at home?"

"Sister Fan has a lot of dates recently." Qiu Yingying didn't dare to say more, for fear of slipping her mouth, "Hey, I'll tell you, Xiao Qu, that my business has paid off. I just listened to your words."

"Yeah, really? Is there a deal? Tell me."

But when Qiu Yingying really opened her mouth to describe the achievements of the two days of the weekend, Qu Xiaoxiao felt dizzy after 3 minutes.This person's one-man show is comparable to a lively two-person show, and there is no breathing in the middle.Qu Xiaoxiao could only think about herself afterwards, Fan Shengmei is dating that middle-aged man these days?It's a good way out.

In the supermarket, Qu Xiaoxiao rushed to pay the bill, but signed two names on the beautiful love card, hers and Qiu Yingying's.Her handwriting was not good, so Qiu Yingying asked Qiu Yingying to write, but Qiu Yingying refused to sign her name no matter what.

"If you don't write it, I will do it for you. People will mistakenly think that your handwriting is ugly, haha."

"This won't work, I didn't pay for it."

"You are out of luck. Your time is valuable now, and you can get a commission if you use it to run a business. Write it. If you don't write it, I will really do it for you."

Qiu Yingying knew that with Qu Xiaoxiao's indomitable character, her name would definitely be on the card tonight, and she couldn't escape, so she signed it readily.

Fan Shengmei secretly turned on her mobile phone on the way to work today, and only called Wang Baichuan when she found Wang Baichuan's text message.After listening to Andy's reminder yesterday, Wang Baichuan went to his hometown to find out the matter clearly.He told Fan Shengmei that her elder brother's family greeted the sufferer with delicious food and drink, the husband and wife laughed together, and the child was placed with the grandparents.But her parents' house is quite quiet, no one is mobbing, and the lights are on at night.Wang Bochuan strategically chose not to mention Andy's reminder, in order to avoid Fan Shengmei's suspicion of their collusion behind the scenes.

Fan Shengmei was in need of news about this, and when she heard that her parents were no longer under siege, she finally felt relieved, and she also put on a friendly face towards Wang Baichuan. "Thank you. It's just... my brother and the others have taken good care of me, why doesn't the sufferer let go?"

"It's not very clear. I'll go and have a look tonight."

With the news of Wang Baichuan, Fan Shengmei was in a good mood all day.But she made excuses to everyone that her mobile phone was broken and could not be turned on, and her mobile phone was turned off for a whole day.After get off work, I went straight to the address I had made an appointment with Zhang Mingsong last night to have a dinner.

Qu Xiaoxiao and Qiu Yingying came out of the inpatient building crying.The two of them didn't meet Dr. Zhao, and Dr. Zhao was off duty tonight.

After getting into Qu Xiaoxiao's car, Qiu Yingying couldn't help being surprised to see that Qu Xiaoxiao was still sobbing and crying after not driving for a long time. "When did you become so kind? Aren't you cruel?"

"Damn it, I'm cruel to you grown-ups. Woohoo, the child is so pitiful, why does he still smile at me? The more he says, Auntie, don't worry, the more worried I become. Ouch, doesn't he hurt?"

"Me too, the more I see him smiling, the more I want to cry."

"I don't want to cry, I really cry, well, you cry louder than me there. I have to restrain myself, lest I make the crying child. Woohoo, you. Woohoo, the child looks beautiful when he smiles And heartbroken, if it wasn't for the fear of his pain, I really want to hug him."

"You kissed him, which made the little boy very embarrassed."

"Why are you just hugging other people's children, mom? It's so disgusting. I'm embarrassed to say it. I'll come back after get off work tomorrow. Now I know, ask my mother's nanny to cook some meat and bone porridge for me. Will you come tomorrow?" ? Stay with me again?"

"I'll cook the porridge, I can cook now."

"Okay. Hey, I was so numb by you that I had no place to hide. I saw something very interesting. There were children's sweaters on the table next to me. I counted them, and there were four of them, colorful. I have to wear them. The layers are like a rainbow, so fun. His mother must love him so much and let him wear so warm."

"You mincemeat, they must be renting a house that is ventilated on all sides, so it's okay if you don't wear more clothes. When I was a child, the doors and windows in my house were not tight, and the wind leaked. In winter, I was dressed like a ball. You have never been cold, right? miss?"

When Qu Xiaoxiao thought about it, she seemed to have never been cold, and there must be something to keep warm at home in winter.Anyway, her parents won't blame her for how much electricity she uses.Qu Xiaoxiao was still thinking about the unbelievable cold, but Qiu Yingying was indifferent, and said softly, "When I get home from the hospital, there will be no heating, and the child will wear layers of fleece pants, will it hurt my leg injury?"

"Xiaoqiu, you are too wise. You used to be wise at times. I will buy down clothes and pants for the child tomorrow, and I will also buy a down sleeping bag so that he won't be able to freeze again."

Looking at the pile of minced meat in front of her, Qiu Yingying couldn't bear it anymore and said: "The rented house must only have one bed. If you buy a sleeping bag for the child, how will their mother and child use it? Why are you so stupid. I can't imagine it."

Qu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Qiu Yingying, and said to herself, "Buy him a small cart and a small walking stick, and pick him up when he leaves the hospital. Do you want to buy a dog as a companion? Or take Qu Xiaowu and give him Children for company..."

"Attention, his mother's income is only enough to make ends meet, and she can't afford dog food and cat food. Don't you see that the child is a little thin?"

Qu Xiaoxiao managed to swallow "There is such a thing" in her stomach, so as not to be scolded by Qiu Yingying when she asks it out.The two came to Mingxuan noisy and noisy, Qu Xiaoxiao felt hungry at this time, but she couldn't help telling her parents how pitiful the injured child was and how shocked she was.Qiu Yingying's eyes were all over the hotel, the hotel was so luxurious that she was suffocated, and the chef's on-site operations also dazzled her.And the food was delicious, she was embarrassed to eat and drink for free, she was a little restrained, but the food that Qu's father and mother gave her had already eaten her to death, it turned out that the beef could still be tender enough to melt in the mouth.When she took time out of her busy schedule to go to the bathroom, by coincidence, she saw Fan Shengmei.Seeing that the table was full of middle-aged people with status, Qiu Yingying didn't dare to go over to say hello and walked quietly.
