Ode to joy

Chapter 9

Yan Luming took a pair of sharp eagle eyes to look at Andy who was drinking water, and said: "The things I said today are the results of investigations and are well-founded, not hearsay, nor mixed with my personal preferences. Miss Andy, please understand. Your grandfather’s family is the largest landowner in the area. His surname is He. Some people were suppressed during the land reform. The life of those who stayed was hard. The man could not marry a wife, and the woman could not get married. So your grandfather married a A woman who was a bit mentally abnormal and fled from a foreign country was his wife and gave birth to your mother. Your mother is a famous beauty in the local area. It is not surprising that there are always many gossips behind the beauty. At that time, Wei Guoqiang, an educated young man who went to the countryside in Haishi City, fell in love. Wei Guoqiang was also handsome, so I guessed that you were a beautiful woman. In 1978, Wei Guoqiang left privately and never came back. Your pregnant mother went crazy, and your grandfather went to Shanghai alone. The city looked for Wei Guoqiang, but his whereabouts were unknown after that. After your mother gave birth to you, she lived on the street and raised you with alms from others. It is very rare. Your birthday should be a certain day in June 1979, but the exact date is unknown. You had a miscarriage in your first pregnancy and finally gave birth to your brother in 6, but your brother’s father is unknown. The night your brother was born, your mother died and you were sent to an orphanage.”

Tan Zongming is well-versed in the world, of course he understands what problems a homeless woman with mental problems will encounter.Look at Andy who has been drinking water in embarrassment, it is inconvenient for him to interrupt and ask more questions.

Instead, Andy calmed down and asked, "Is my mother wearing red clothes, with a red face and flowers all over her hair? Mr. Yan, please tell me, I have been tortured by these impressions all my life."

Yan Luming carefully said his words: "It is understandable for a woman to suffer a serious mental blow on a major issue, and some weird behaviors."

"Mr. Yan, please describe it in detail. I have drinking water to calm Dafa. If it doesn't work, there will be a pool of dirty water next to it, haha." Andy pretended to be calm, but his heart was beating like a drum.

"Okay. After your mother got sick, she was called a nympho in the local area. She loved tearing up red posters on the wall, making some into flowers and wearing them on her head, and some wet her face with water to smear her face. When she was done, she went to the streets to chase men... That's it. The only miracle is keeping you alive."

Hearing this, Tan Zongming fully understands why Andy always regards male overtures as enemies, flowers as bombs, and why he never wears colored clothes.It was the opposite.Andy was at a loss, the limited memory in her heart was fast forwarding, but she saw Tan Zongming's clear eyes. "Old Tan, don't call me unfeminine anymore."

"Never mention it again."

"Mr. Yan, can I trouble you with one more thing, please help me find out if there is a man born in 1983 in the local mental hospital."

"Nonsense, Andy, don't go to extremes." Tan Zongming stopped loudly.

"Old Tan, let's seek truth from facts. My brain is not normal. I have always suspected that there are some fragments in my genes... Genius is only one step away from a lunatic. Since Mr. Yan has proved for me that my grandmother and mother are abnormal, infer from the probability , my younger brother who has never met... Don't worry, I have always restrained my emotions effectively and will not talk nonsense."

"I'll look into it, this is a clue." Yan Luming was really seeking truth from facts, and he handed over another kraft paper envelope, "It contains relevant information about Wei Guoqiang, I found him."

Andy took it, but threw it into the side pool without hesitation. "Old Tan, you lent me two hours of sleep in your guest room, and I'm about to collapse."

Tan Zongming asked the nanny to lead Andy into the house.When they were far away, he said to Yan Luming: "What Andy is most worried about is that she has the factor of going crazy. Since I met her at the age of 20, she has been living like a nun with asceticism. Well, it's true now. It has become a high-probability event. You really shouldn’t have allowed her to go to the lunatic asylum for investigation, your attitude is basically tacitly acquiescing to her family’s ancestral mental illness.”

"Such a smart person, since she has thought of that, if I refuse to investigate, won't she do it herself?"

Tan Zongming sighed and was speechless, and he said after a while: "Okay, check, check quickly. It's best to find out if the DNA doesn't match, at least it means that her brother is not crazy, and turn the high probability into a small probability. Don't blame me. A friend, this insane suspicion can really drive a man mad."

Yan Luming smiled jokingly, but dared not say anything.Tan Zongming saw it and didn't explain it.

Fan Shengmei walked around the street all day in high heels, she was so tired that her face was dismal, but no matter how tired she was, she couldn't throw away a bunch of shopping bags for a change. The clothes in the shopping bags were all she picked out from big shops and small shops. The best value for money clothing.Of course, the credit card is overspending, but fortunately, the salary is in sight.She was reluctant to take a taxi, and squeezed hard to get back from the subway. When she walked into the elevator, her eyes stared straight.Fortunately, it was already dark, and no one noticed her plight.

There is another person with straight eyes in the elevator that goes up from the garage below, and that is Qu Xiaoxiao.Qu Xiaoxiao listlessly kicked the bamboo basket at the bottom of her feet to Fan Shengmei, "I'll leave it to you, a basket of hairy crabs for supper, you all get together, cook it, and ask me to eat it. I haven't slept for forty hours."

"I'm exhausted too, I plan to go to bed early."

"Hairy crabs will die. They are all big crabs weighing half a catty. I bought them for sharing with you in mind."

"Uh, good enough friends. I'm afraid I'll call you when the crab is cooked, and you won't come in because you're dead asleep."

Qu Xiaoxiao was quite distressed, and before her sleep-deprived mind came up with a solution, the elevator reached the 22nd floor.Fan Shengmei stepped out of the elevator and kicked on her high heels, but Qu Xiaoxiao first saw Andy sitting at the door of 2202 holding the computer, with only a cushion under his buttocks.Andy also saw them, and suddenly felt that the world was filled with fireworks, and the world became gentle and colorful. "Did you two go out to play together? You didn't answer the knock on the door. I just want to wait in the corridor. You will always come back."

Fan Shengmei asked strangely, "What's the matter?"

"A friend gave me a few hairy crabs, I'll wait for you to eat together. Which of you can cook? I can't, go to my house to cook."

Seeing this, Fan Shengmei forgot to be tired, "We are really good sisters, Xiaoqu also brought so many hairy crabs, we will have a hairy crab feast tonight. You go to 2201 first, I will come over after I wake up Xiaoguan."

Qu Xiaoxiao followed Andy into the house, found a nearby sofa and lay down to sleep.This sofa happens to be for one person, even though it is wide, Qu Xiaoxiao sleeps with both ends out, very hard.But it didn't affect her falling asleep immediately.Andy watched this series of unbelievable actions, and couldn't help being dumbfounded.After being sent home by Tan Zongming's driver, he had been suffering from chest tightness, so he couldn't help but smile.She went to find a blanket to cover Qu Xiaoxiao.After a while, Fan Shengmei came over with Guan Juer who had just woken up, seeing Qu Xiaoxiao's sleeping position with her limbs hanging outside the sofa, she laughed wildly.Guan Ju'er couldn't help brushing Qu Xiaoxiao's nose with Qu Xiaoxiao's hair, but Qu Xiaoxiao just frowned and ignored it.Andy watched everyone's joy, even if she couldn't think of ways to participate, she liked it.

Fan Shengmei said to Andy: "I called Xiaoqiu to come back to eat crabs, but she didn't know how to cook. Fortunately, her boyfriend Xiaobai can cook. It is said that Xiaobai can cook well. I strongly invite the two of you to cook together." Get up. They seem not to be persuaded by my rhetoric, but by a rare hairy crab that is half a catty. They said that they would go to the supermarket to buy some other vegetables and come back to eat immediately. Neither Xiaoguan nor I have met Xiaobai. Xiao Qiu said he was handsome."

"I saw you when I left this morning..."

"Ah, handsome guy, how handsome?" Andy and Fan Shengmei followed the sound, and it was Qu Xiaoxiao who woke up after hearing the handsome guy. Although her neck was straightened, her eyes were still closed.Everyone laughed again, which shows Qu Xiaoxiao's gossip.

Andy also laughed, "It's the kind of gentle boy, not very handsome. However, a study on animals showed that the pulse sent by the No. 0 nerve in the brain can change the human's perception of the external environment. Fibers can change the way visual information is processed, which means that there is some scientific truth to the saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

Qu Xiaoxiao lowered her head and continued to sleep after hearing half of it, and Fan Shengmei was also bored by the answer.Only Guan Juer took a picture of the hairy crab with his mobile phone, but he didn't dare to take the living creature with teeth and claws from the two bamboo baskets, which was quite embarrassing.It was Fan Shengmei who was bold enough to take out the hairy crabs one by one with chopsticks and put them into the sink.The chopsticks were not under much force, and occasionally the hairy crabs fell to the ground or caught the chopsticks. Andy and Guan Juer exclaimed together, but Fan Shengmei's face was calm, quite general.After finally taking out all the hairy crabs, Fan Shengmei clapped her hands and said, "What is the eldest sister for? The eldest sister is the one who suffers first."

Andy hesitated, and decided to correct, "I was born in June 1979, one year older than you. But on the 6nd floor, you are the eldest sister."

Fan Shengmei hurriedly said: "No, from now on you can call me Sister Fan, you can even call me Young Sister Fan, but you must never call Sister Fan again. At our age, one year older and one year younger has already become a matter of principle, we must not be careless accommodate."

Guan Juer is uploading hairy crabs on Andy's computer to show off to the netizens, she laughs when she hears this, she knows Fan Shengmei's concern about her age best. "Yeah, Andy, there's some activity on your QQ."

"Singularity?" Seeing Andy's changing expression, Fan Shengmei took the initiative to pretend to be casual and pulled Guan Juer away, "Xiaoguan, I am a liberal arts student, what is singularity? It seems to be a very mathematical name. "Guan Ju'er was also curious, and went to his room to move the computer to check.The answer jumped out easily, and the two looked at the unfathomable explanation inside, and looked at each other in blank dismay.Fan Shengmei felt that only people with this online name could be paired with Andy.

Andy hurriedly opened the dialogue window, and saw a "Hi" and a smiling face above Singularity.Andy is only good enough to reply with a "Hi".

"Finally connected online. Write down my mobile number..."

"remember."

"Did you eat? Please come out to eat." "What do you like to eat? Tell me a place."

"My three friends are here, so I won't come out for dinner."

"I feel that you seem to be avoiding contacting me after you return to China."

"No. There are friends."

"You really don't want to come out to eat?"

"I'm sorry, my friend is here. I'm eating hairy crabs."

"Hee hee, I'm just asking casually, don't worry about it."

"Got it, thank you."

"I'm pretending to be very casual." "Otherwise it would be embarrassing."

Andy finally burst out laughing. As always, the Singularity always brought her joy.Especially today, how much she needs joy.

QQ communication is different from text messages in forums. In a short time, the two have chatted several times online.At first, Andy thought it would be uncomfortable to chat so quickly, because she used to write a few sentences after thinking twice about returning to Singularity.Unexpectedly, when the two hit it off on QQ, they both typed very fast.Several times Andy was not fluent in Chinese, so he simply used English. Fortunately, Singularity received it without any hindrance.When Qiu Yingying and Director Bai arrived, Andy's mood finally became normal.

As soon as Fan Shengmei saw Director Bai, she gave Andy a wink, and Guan Juer also looked at Fan Shengmei, and the three of them tacitly agreed: that's the case with handsome Bai, the temperament of a typical small executive in a company, purely Qiu Yingying's beauty in the eyes of a lover.Qiu Yingying was in a good mood at first, but when she saw Qu Xiaoxiao's sleeping posture, she smiled so much that she hung on Supervisor Bai's arm.It was Fan Shengmei who greeted Director Bai generously, and turned the guest into the big open kitchen.Wherever Supervisor Bai went, Qiu Yingying would follow wherever he went, and the three of them started busy in the kitchen.Andy and Guan Juer wanted to help, but they were looked down upon, so they had to occupy a sofa and play computer games.

Director Bai showed off his skills in the kitchen, and he was really good at it.Fan Shengmei hadn't eaten home-cooked food for a while, so she said sincerely to Qiu Yingying behind Director Bai: "A man who can cook is a good man."

With Fan Shengmei's acknowledgment, Qiu Yingying beamed.

It took some time to prepare the dishes. The dishes were laid out on the large granite counter in the kitchen. There were stir-fried vegetables with mushrooms, roasted pork with fried tofu, twice-cooked pork, loofah clam soup, fish with pickled cabbage, and of course two large plates of hairy crabs.Fan Shengmei remembered that there was good wine in her bedroom, but when she walked to the door, she remembered to wake up Qu Xiaoxiao. She didn't go any closer, but just shouted at the door, "Handsome Bai is here." "Swipe" stunned, everyone looked at Zhi Le, and Andy dropped the computer and dragged Qu Xiaoxiao into her main guard.

When Qu Xiaoxiao came out, the bottle of red wine had already been opened, and everyone took their seats.But Qu Xiaoxiao has never been a follow-through person, and things will happen after a short sleep to recover her spirits.When she figured out what was going on with Director Bai, and saw Guan Juer snapping pictures of a table of dishes, she floated to Supervisor Bai and asked Guan Juer to take a photo of her with the chef and a table of delicious dishes .

Close-fitting and close-fitting are so different.Qiu Yingying devoted herself wholeheartedly to Supervisor Bai, while Qu Xiaoxiao took a photo with the chef, but she just put her shoulders on her shoulders, put her hand on her hands for a while, and Qu Xiaoxiao's powerful salon perfume matching The fragrant wind from the fan penetrated into Director Bai's heart one by one.Although Supervisor Bai had a cautious expression on his face, half of the shoulder that Qu Xiaoxiao pressed had already softened.Andy coughed lightly at Qu Xiaoxiao, Qu Xiaoxiao was clever, immediately stuck out her tongue and stopped her hand.Fan Shengmei caught Qiu Yingying and Supervisor Bai with her eyes, just smiled and said nothing.

Qu Xiaoxiao persuaded Qiu Yingying and Supervisor Bai to drink with sweet words, and Fan Shengmei joked about it to relax Supervisor Bai's vigilance, making Supervisor Bai feel as if he was in the Pansi Cave tonight, and his heart blossomed.Andy and Guan Juer just peeled the hairy crabs and laughed.Seeing that everyone liked her supervisor Bai, Qiu Yingying was extremely happy.

But when Qiu Yingying escorted Supervisor Bai out of the complex alone, Qu Xiaoxiao watched the elevator go down, and said bluntly: "That Supervisor Bai, I stuffed a note in his pocket, and I promise he will be daring tomorrow, no, tonight." Give me a call someday."

Andy said: "That's Xiaoqiu's boyfriend, it's not good for you to do this."

"I test her boyfriend for Xiaoqiu, what's wrong with that?"

"It's to test your own charm." Fan Shengmei hit the nail on the head, "Be careful not to get burned. Do you think Xiaoqiu will approve of your test? Don't forget the old saying that love is blind."

Qu Xiaoxiao smiled, "It's good to know the truth early. Thank you Andy for providing the kitchen. I'll go back and recite a few words before going to bed. Goodbye." Said and returned to 2203 blithely.

Fan Shengmei looked back at the dumbfounded Guan Juer, and suddenly felt that Qu Xiaoxiao's actions were a bit reasonable, if the director Bai really couldn't stand Qu Xiaoxiao's hookup, wouldn't it be that his character is very wretched, then it's really good to end early.

"Should we make a bet on whether handsome Bai will call Xiaoqu within 24 hours?"

"How good is Xiaoqu?" Andy couldn't believe it, "I bet you won't play after dinner. Xiaoguan?"

"I also bet that Director Bai better not call Xiaoqu and have a KFC breakfast."

"I bet I will fight, believe in my senior HR's vision! A meal of Pizza Hut."

Ability and financial resources are second, and the most important thing is to have a correct character.Director Bai's character is not good, and Xiao Qu smoothly helped Xiao Qiu to wake up as soon as possible, which is also considered a merit.I like the ditty more and more. This girl likes to go wild, naughty but not mean.

What a picture of five beauties. Everyone has different personalities and is very distinctive. I found that I am quite fraternal, because I can see the cute side of Xiaoqiu or Xiaoqu that everyone dislikes, haha.In fact, I have a hunch that this is a picture of the growth of the five beauties. Whether it is the generous Andy or the ignorant Xiaoqiu, they all have something to grow up.In life, there are naturally talented, early-wisdom and successful people, but I believe there will also be late bloomers who have gone through the wind and rain and climbed up again.
