Ode to joy

Chapter 68

Qiu Yingying wanted to find out why, but she was very curious, why Wang Baichuan and Fan Shengmei were entangled again, why Fan's parents came here without warning, and so on.But while Fan Shengmei was embracing them, she begged softly in their ears: "Please don't ask me why, please, please." When they parted, Qiu Yingying saw that Sister Fan's face was full of excited tears.Of course she couldn't bear to ask.Turning her head to look at Guan Ju'er, she also had some panic in her eyes, but Guan Ju'er was obviously calmer than her.

Fan Shengmei wiped her tears and forced a smile to Qu Xiaoxiao: "Xiao Qu, thank you for coming too."

"You're welcome, I deserve to be up late. Fortunately, Andy went to bed early, she is blessed. Stop talking nonsense, and play less bitter scenes. In order to improve efficiency, you and Xiaoqiu are on the same team, outflanking on the left. Xiaoguan and I One team, go around on the right. Meet at the gate of the train station and find another route. Tell me about the characteristics."

The arrangement Qu Xiaoxiao said was exactly what Fan Shengmei had in mind, but she was embarrassed to send everyone to work as soon as she came up.Hearing Qu Xiaoxiao help her play the gong, Fan Shengmei started to sing immediately.The four of them quickly divided into two groups, fighting left and right.

Guan Juer is exhausted at work, but Qu Xiaoxiao is full of energy.Guan Juer stretched his eyelids and carefully searched every corner and every face, while Qu Xiaoxiao bought a Taiwanese sausage for a while, and a cup of milk tea for a while, as if he used searching as shopping.However, it was Qu Xiaoxiao who went to ask the person with a little boy first, Qu Xiaoxiao was much more experienced than Guan Juer.Besides, Qu Xiaoxiao wanted to be lazy and didn't want to look around foolishly. When she caught a patrolman on the road, she went up to ask where there was shelter for the elderly and children.As long as she thinks, she can dazzle others with clever bubbles and get answers.Sure enough, the patrolman took her as an innocent girl and was willing to help. He searched for her on the walkie-talkie, but unfortunately he couldn't find her.Even so, the patrolman still pointed out a few good places on the square to shelter from the wind and keep warm, and asked Qu Xiaoxiao to look for those places.He also said which area is under the control of the railway, and he had to look for it.

After leaving the policeman, Qu Xiaoxiao immediately decided to take a chance and go to a few points pointed out by the policeman.Her theory is that a professional's opinion can do more with less.Guan Ju'er wanted to do an honest search like a carpet, but she couldn't hold back Qu Xiaoxiao, and she was too timid to take orders, so she had to follow Qu Xiaoxiao.

Sure enough, those places were protected from the wind by walls, and the ground was littered with people sitting and lying down.As I approached, there was a puff of turbid air, and I accidentally stepped on the garbage.It was the first time for Qu Xiaoxiao and Guan Juer to see such a scene. Seeing that several people looked like gangsters, they couldn't help but hold hands tightly, encouraging each other.

The two searched the first point carefully, but they didn't see the old and the young.Escaping in a hurry, Qu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath of the cold and refreshing air outside, wondering why so many people came from the gate of the train station, are they all waiting for relatives to claim them?
Guan Juer was also wondering why he was sitting near the train station instead of going to accommodation, or changing trains, or looking for other ways to survive.How cold it must be for those lying on the ground.She couldn't imagine it.

I went to search for the second spot, which was densely packed with more people, and there was almost no place to stand.Guan Ju'er was careful, even the old and the young would not let go, he insisted on asking if his surname was Fan, if he knew Fan Shengmei, and he would not give up until he shook his head.But the saying that hard work pays off is often a joke, but Qu Xiaoxiao never bends down to look around, she sees a bunch of suspicious things with a tacit understanding, she thinks they look alike, so she drags Guan Juer to sit on the ground Cursed by the person who was watching, he forcibly penetrated obliquely.She found the young and old of the Fan family.

Guan Ju'er was busy contacting Fan Shengmei, while Qu Xiaoxiao twisted her chin, her two eyes circled around the three of Qu's family, her eyes finally fell on Lei Lei who was sleepy.Seeing Lei Lei looking around with one eye closed, rubbing his eyes again, slipping into grandma's arms and sleeping soundly, sleeping dishonestly, hugging and arching in grandma's arms, like a piggy, so grandma I can't even sit still.Qu Xiaoxiao laughed out loud.Originally, she designed a lot of traps during the boring search and waited for the two elders of the Fan family to be caught. She didn't appreciate Fan Shengmei's gratitude. Bending down, squatting down, pinching Lei Lei's round body, pinching Lei Lei's chubby hands and big chubby face, having a great time.Especially when he poked Lei Lei's face with his finger, he didn't respond at all. When he poked the tip of Lei Lei's nose, he immediately retracted his nose and arched it into grandma's arms, just like her Qu Xiaowu, Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing.

When Fan Shengmei came to find her, Qu Xiaoxiao put away her light, squatted in a corner, and watched with great interest the four members of Fan's family performing a scene of bitterness.As expected, the woman cried, but unfortunately she didn't see a passionate hug, not even a handshake, all physical contact, that is, a few greetings to Lei Lei's face.But the big story is, Mother Fan cried and said that Brother Fan and Sister-in-law Fan ran away and went outside to avoid the limelight for the time being, so she gave all the money to her son, and she only left the money for two hard seat tickets on the train. My daughter doesn't need to bring money here to take shelter from the limelight.While listening, Qu Xiaoxiao squinted at Fan Shengmei's pink face. It turned out that there was such a mess behind the beauty.

Although Fan Shengmei kept telling her parents to go back and talk back, but her mother couldn't stop the car, she had no choice but to let the housework she had concealed for a long time be exposed to everyone's eyes.She paid special attention to Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and she sighed in her heart.But no matter what, the man was found.She must thank Qu Xiaoxiao.

Qu Xiaoxiao's small Polo fits seven people in it.Qu Xiaoxiao originally thought that she would lead Guan Ju'er and apprentice Qiu Yingying back to Ode to Joy, while Fan Shengmei would take her parents and the other three to take a taxi to the hotel by themselves.But Fan Shengmei squeezed her shriveled wallet, smiled and stuffed the whole family of four into the back seat of Qu Xiaoxiao's car.It was a cold day, and everyone wore thick and strong clothes. Qu Xiaoxiao intended to stuff Qiu Yingying, who was the smallest, into the back seat, but as soon as she opened the car door, she saw the arms and legs of the four members of Fan's family burst out of the car. It fits in.He had to let Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying sit in front of each other tightly, pretending to be alone, so as not to be caught by the traffic police.There are a lot of parties during the Chinese New Year. It is said that the traffic police have gone to the streets to catch drunk driving. Don't be caught and overloaded.

But Qu Xiaoxiao was worried. She walked to the front of the car and looked inside. It was obvious that there were two people in the passenger seat. Of course, it was even more impossible to use seat belts. .She returned to her position and directed Guan Juer to take off the cashmere coat and get into Qiu Yingying's down jacket, only to stick out one head in turn, pretending to be a fat man.

Although the three in the front row were sleepy and tired, they couldn't help laughing when they saw the effect.Although the three adults of the Fan family behind were frowning, they also frowned when they saw this situation.Only Lei Lei was too tired to sleep soundly, and did not participate in anything.

The car finally hit the road.Qu Xiaoxiao didn't ask Fan Shengmei if she wanted to go somewhere, and Fan Shengmei didn't say anything.But Mother Fan couldn't help but still asked: "Amei, shall we stay at your place tonight? We haven't had dinner yet."

Fan Shengmei hesitated for a while, and said: "We have arrived at the place where I live. You and Dad have a rest first, and I will go to buy supper. Xiaoqu Xiaoguan Xiaoqiu, when you get home, don't sleep, wait for me to buy it. Have supper before going to bed."

Guan Ju'er, who was hiding in Qiu Yingying's down jacket, and Qu Xiaoxiao, who was concentrating on driving, were both shocked. Fan Shengmei's hut could not accommodate a family of four, even if they were sitting, they couldn't sit down.Qu Xiaoxiao quickly made up her mind, but said nothing.Guan Juer thought of the only bathroom in 2202. If all four members of the Fan family lived in 2202, especially the elderly and children, how could one bathroom be enough.It seems that I have to get up early tomorrow, or I have to go to work with disheveled hair.Focusing on the conversation at the family reunion last night, Guan Juer believes that it will be a protracted battle.

Only Qiu Yingying asked: "Go back together? Where do you sleep?"

"Squeeze first, I will go to the hotel tomorrow."

"The bed in your room is the smallest. Two people can't sleep. How can you sleep four? Or go to Xiaoqu's house for a night? Xiaoqu, is that okay? Your house is the biggest."

Qu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth secretly, where in the world is this kind of idiot, but they just had a meal together, and they just talked and acted like this.Besides, Fan Shengmei is the most treacherous, she listened to Qiu Yingying's recklessness but didn't interrupt or interrupt, anyway, she Qu Xiaoxiao refused to hurt Qiu Yingying's face, and agreed to it all for Fan Shengmei's benefit, in short, Fan Shengmei takes everything from inside to outside, she and Qiu Yingying are not human inside and out.So she said delicately: "Okay, I will greet my uncle and aunt well, and I can have a good chat with my uncle and aunt."

Fan Shengmei felt a cold war in her heart, she could guess with her toes what Qu Xiaoxiao would talk about with her parents.She hurriedly laughed and said, "How can you bother the neighbors, and close the door to solve your own affairs."

Qu Xiaoxiao raised the corners of her mouth in the dark and secretly smiled.Only Qiu Yingying was still worried for Fan Shengmei: "Why are you sleeping, Sister Fan? It's not good to sleep on the ground in such a cold day. If you see a hotel on the way, go in and ask." Guan Juer couldn't help it at last, Qiu Yingying was pinched under the down jacket, reminding Qiu Yingying to stop talking.As long as you contact Fan Shengmei in the past few days, it's not obvious, Fan Shengmei's money has been sucked dry by her brother, and she has no money to stay in a hotel right now.Qiu Yingying thought that Guan Ju'er was getting bored down there, so she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll change places with you." She got under the down jacket and put Guan Ju'er up to breathe.

Fan Shengmei clenched her lower lip in the dark, unable to speak.Even though her mother had said so much in the square just now, she still couldn't speak.Instead, Mother Fan said: "What kind of hotel do you want to stay in? It's a waste of money. You can squeeze in whatever you want tonight. Ami can move to the company's dormitory tomorrow. The company doesn't cost money. I'll let you move to the company."

Hearing this, even Qu Xiaoxiao was shocked.If it was Guan Juer or Qiu Yingying's family affairs tonight, she would have jumped out to do justice.How can there be such a mother, shouldn't a mother hold her daughter in her hands and love her dearly?Guan Ju'er, who had just stuck out her head, couldn't help but look back, and said to herself, if she were to change her mother, she would definitely say that she must eat well and live well when she is out alone, and if she doesn't have enough money, she can go home to get it.Besides, Fan Shengmei used her own money to rent the house, and didn't spend any money from her family.

Fan Shengmei's face was ashen. Tonight, all the dignity on her face has been completely stripped.If she said that when she was looking for her parents just now, she was only anxious, but at this moment, anger surged.But she was patient, unwilling to confront her mother in front of her neighbors.

The little Polo was driving in the dark, and because Qiu Yingying was detained under the down jacket by Guan Juer, no one in the car spoke.Except for the occasional father of Fan coughing, coughing up a smell of smoke, so Qu Xiaoxiao and Guan Juer wrinkled their noses together in front.

The car arrived at the underground garage of the community, Qu Xiaoxiao parked the car in front of the elevator door, Guan Juer hugged Qiu Yingying and rolled outside quickly to breathe.Only then did Qiu Yingying grab Guan Juer, and gently asked, "Why are you so overbearing and didn't give me a breath all the way?"

"Didn't you hear that, Sister Fan has no money on hand, so she has no money to stay in a hotel. You are still asking stupid questions, how embarrassing Sister Fan is."

Qiu Yingying quickly fell silent, watching the four members of the Fan family get out of the back seat one by one.Fan Shengmei picked up Lei Lei in his arms, and the heavy weight of Lei Lei made Fan Shengmei, who was wearing stilettos, unable to stand still.Qu Xiaoxiao waited for them all to get out of the car, then turned the hood of the down jacket on her head, tightened the belt, sat back in the car without saying a word, opened all four windows, and drove out for a drive.Fan Shengmei didn't even have time to say thank you, she watched the rear of the car disappear into the turning in astonishment, then suddenly thought of something, looked back at her father, and called everyone to enter the elevator together.Dad has been smoking and drinking for many years, and the bad breath caused by low-quality tobacco and alcohol, even if he doesn't cough, it is very unpleasant when he gets close.
