I heard you are a junior

Mom asked about a TV series, Zhong Yuxiao answered, but she stared at Liu Jinya.

The meaning is self-evident.

Liu Jinya lowered her head, not daring to see any news about Xu Rongyuan's murder. She was afraid that Mama Zhong, who was sitting on the sofa in front of her and controlling the overall situation, felt that she was an uninvited guest with troubles all over her body. The sound of the news on the TV is the verdict of her "crime".

Her body was stiff, and she stopped at the entrance and hesitated, looking at her shivering shadow on the floor with her eyes vacant.

Until the three words "I like" sounded.

Liu Jinya was taken aback for a moment, then raised her eyes and saw Zhong Yuxiao who was walking resolutely.

Zhong Yuxiao didn't care about her mother's presence, walked to her side and took the suitcase, stroked her stiff hand lightly with her fingers, and said naturally, "I'm home, put your things away and take a rest."

Got home.

Liu Jinya's heart skipped a beat, and she breathed in the inexplicable timidity under the air pressure.

This time, she calmed down a lot. What she saw was not the disgusted expression of Zhong Yuxiao's mother, nor the news that was cut back on TV, but the familiar decorations, with the bits and pieces of her getting along with Zhong Yuxiao - after work Spreading out on the sofa and chatting about today's interesting stories, when I came back from the supermarket, I always threw things away and made a mess. The cold tone of the gray sofa was a little less warm, so she bought a small pillow with lace and put it on for decoration. Yu Xiao disliked it at first, but soon became obsessed with the soft touch, holding it in her arms all day long.

This is their home.

Just now, Zhong Yuxiao declared in front of her mother, "I like her."

Liu Jinya no longer indulged herself in escaping, followed Zhong Yuxiao to her mother, tried to steady her voice and said politely, "Auntie, thank you for taking us home, let me pour you a glass of water."

"No need." Seeing now, Mother Zhong couldn't understand that she was hardened because of Zhong Yuxiao's support. When she heard the word "go home", she was in a bad mood and snorted coldly, "Take care of you yourself."

Zhong Yuxiao put the suitcase aside, and was dissatisfied when she heard this, "Mom, why are you talking like that."

"It's okay, Auntie is right." Liu Jinya found a step for herself in a good-tempered manner, "We came back from City A, we should call to report that we are safe."

Her words were neither humble nor overbearing, and Mother Zhong was stunned. Seeing the corners of her daughter's lips rising with pride, she completely lost the interest in wasting time here, and stood up and pressed her in front of her, "It's getting late. , use your own money, don't think about defrauding others by crooked ways."

Liu Jinya pursed her lips, "Auntie, I really didn't lie..."

"In my opinion, no return is cheating." Zhong's mother interrupted her, "I don't want to hear about signing contracts or exhibitions, I only want to see the real rate of return."

With a smiling face, Liu Jinya tried not to show a little timidity, nodded solemnly, "I will work hard."

Mother Zhong gave her a sideways glance, picked up her bag without a word, and strode towards the door without even looking at Zhong Yuxiao. When she opened the door, she said, "Feng Weize doesn't care about the price of the restaurant's decorative paintings, so I won't talk too much. But you should start with normal customers, and don't think about taking advantage of Xiaoxiao's relationship circle."

Zhong Yuxiao kept in mind the dispute over grabbing the phone, which gave Liu Jinya a chance to express herself. She has been silent until now, but she couldn't hold back when she heard this sentence, "What use? Feng Weize wants to buy paintings, and Jinya recommends them. It's obviously a cooperation! "

Liu Jinya didn't have time to stop her, she saw Zhong's mother lower her face and stare.

"Walk slowly." Zhong Yuxiao choked and cast an angry gaze in front of Liu Jinya.

Mother Zhong snorted coldly, turned around and left, her movements were crisp and neat.

Liu Jinya thought that the other party would slam the door, staring at the door nervously, and finally heard a barely audible closing sound.

It is still sensible.

Liu Jinya breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and sat back on the sofa, watching the TV screen go up and another news was broadcast, just at the same rhythm as Zhong's mother left.

"Want to drink water?" Zhong Yuxiao saw that she was licking her lips nervously, trying to find the hot water in the car from her bag.

Liu Jinya shook her head, and stretched out her hand to pull Zhong Yuxiao back, "Sit down and rest."

Zhong Yuxiao leaned close to her obediently, raised her arms to hug her, and almost whispered in her ear, "Don't worry about my mother, we'll live with us."

Without answering, Liu Jinya rubbed back gently, counted silently for half a minute to calm down, took out her mobile phone from her pocket, "It's almost eleven o'clock... Auntie shouldn't be asleep, I'll call back and ask about the news by the way. "

"Yeah." Zhong Yuxiao said, "I'll go collect things."

Liu Jinya paused, looking at the excited back of the housework idiot Zhong Baobao, she couldn't bear to say "I'll clean it up", turned off the TV and called my aunt.

My aunt didn't sleep, so she called affectionately at the first sentence, "Xiaoya, are you home yet?"

After getting in the car, Liu Jinya sent a message, not surprised that my aunt kept it in mind, and replied obediently, "Well, it's here, is mom asleep?"

"No." The aunt smiled, "I won't sleep until you call to report that you are safe. I have turned on the speakerphone, let's talk together."

As soon as the speaker was turned on, the noise on the phone became clearer. Liu Jinya felt that her family was by her side. When she heard her mother's voice, she immediately forgot the unpleasantness and said something happy, "I bought you some special products. I will have them tomorrow. Take it empty."

"The holiday is coming to an end, is there any problem with the handover work?"

"The newcomers have adapted well." Liu Jinya received work inquiries during her stay in City A. There were only details about the problems. The general direction was checked by Assistant Wei and Guan Yaqin, and the progress was smooth.She also asked Xiao Zhang and Accountant Wang, and learned that the whole process of the newcomer looks good, so she has the confidence to say this answer.

The aunt and mother smiled at the same time, and the similar voice sounded like an echo in the microphone.Listening to the joy in the laughter, Liu Jinya felt that her mother had come out of the domestic violence incident, so she was happy, and the corners of her lips were curled up for a while, when she suddenly heard her next sentence.

"Xiaoya, we are going to Q City next Saturday."

Surprised by the sudden notification, Liu Jinya stared at the blacked-out TV screen for a while, wondering what was wrong, "Is it because the reporters harassed you?"

"No, we refused to interview him, so they didn't come again." Mom sighed, "The house is hard to sell after such a commotion. The case is said to be closed to the public. I can only wait for the verdict. I don't think there is any need to stay here. So I discussed it with your aunt, and I want to go to Q City as soon as possible."

It's one thing to live in different places, but it's another thing to separate the two places. Liu Jinya suddenly has no relatives in this city, and she is depressed, "Once you go...will you come back?"

"Silly boy, if you're here, of course mom will come back." Mom comforted, "I'm just going to take a look this time, as a trip to relax."

Responding sullenly, Liu Jinya picked up the small desk calendar to check the date, and sighed, "Is it Saturday?"

"Well, do you want to go together?"

"Let me ask Xiaoxiao." Liu Jinya answered without thinking too much. After hearing her aunt's chuckle, she realized that not only was she and Zhong Yuxiao clinging to each other, but she also directly gave out the sovereignty, and coughed awkwardly. "I mean...ask her if she's free to go with her."

My aunt didn't give face, "She is not free, isn't it because you are not free?"

"It's not..." Liu Jinya muttered.

"Okay." The aunt hurriedly said, "I have lived in Q City for so many years, and I have walked back and forth hundreds of times. I will definitely take good care of Elder Sister. You are too busy these days, so don't worry about leaving it to me. Rest at home with Xiao Zhong."

Liu Jinya was still not reconciled, "But..."

"It's almost Ching Ming Festival, and you can't buy a ticket! Okay, you just came back from City A, take a shower and go to bed early, if you have time tomorrow, give me a call, and I'll cook a big table for you." The aunt was impatient. , couldn't stand her indecision temper the most, helped make a decision, and finished talking like a cannonball.

Liu Jinya saw that it was getting late, and the aunt and mother obviously didn't want to take her with them, so they simply gave up, "Okay, you guys also go to bed earlier."

After hanging up the phone, she shuffled back to the room, seeing Zhong Yuxiao struggling to put on the quilt, and hurried up to take over.

Zhong Yuxiao clung to the corner of the quilt, "It's almost ready."

Liu Jinya gave Zhong Baobao enough face, "I want to be with you."

"Okay." Zhong Yuxiao agreed, as if showing mercy.

Taking pains to spread out the knotted quilt core, Liu Jinya ignored Zhong Yuxiao's self-confidence, sighed and said sad things, "Next Saturday, my mother will go to Q city with my aunt."

"You want to go together?" Zhong Yuxiao immediately threw away the quilt and asked seriously, pressing her shoulder.

Liu Jinya was taken aback, and then felt the tightness on her shoulders. Feeling sorry for Zhong Baobao's surprise, she replied softly, "No, I signed a guarantee before, and I didn't get your consent. How could I go? Woolen cloth."

"Oh." Zhong Yuxiao grabbed the quilt that fell on the bed, and returned to a slow and calm look, "That's fine."

Obviously staring and biting her lips just now, she was so anxious that she was about to cry...

Liu Jinya snickered, she felt uneasy because her mother had left L City, she wanted to go over and hug her, but couldn't let go of the rolled up quilt.After the quilt cover was changed, and the two of them stood up and shook their heads, she followed her heart and walked over, not folding the quilt properly and bumping into her arms.

Away from the thick quilt, Zhong Yuxiao was uncomfortable holding her, so he simply hugged her and fell onto the bed.

Liu Jinya sank into the soft and fragrant bed sheets, and was in a trance for a moment. When she came back to her senses, Zhong Yuxiao who didn't know when to press up was rubbing against the tip of her nose, frowning with itchiness, and wanted to complain, but her lips parted. trap.

"Stop playing..." She caught the gap and whispered, "I haven't washed yet."

Zhong Yuxiao held her tight, leaned on her heart and murmured, "Don't run."

Unreasonable childish tone.

Liu Jinya laughed, not knowing if what he was talking about was still about the affairs of Q City, she rubbed Zhong Yuxiao's messy hair, and coaxed softly:

"Okay, I'll be with you."

-

During the two-day annual leave, Liu Jinya took one day to go home to see her mother, and the remaining day to sort out the progress of the work, so as to ensure that she could enter the state as soon as possible the next day and complete the tasks in the final handover stage.At noon, thinking she was fine, she asked Zhong Yuxiao to make sure she was free, and went to company G.

She met Zhong Yuxiao's mother again.

Liu Jinya saw it from a long distance, so she cheered up and went to meet her, waiting to say a polite hello to gain some impression points.Unexpectedly, when Zhong Yuxiao's mother saw her, she turned around and went back to the gate in a daze, showing a ruthless back view.

She was dejected, and chased after him without asking for trouble.

Zhong Yuxiao didn't let her go to the office to eat this time, and drove to find her, "I have a lot of time, let's go out to eat."

"Really..." Liu Jinya smiled wryly, "Isn't it because my mother is here?"

Zhong Yuxiao was silent.

The topic was embarrassing, Liu Jinya stopped asking, and turned her head to look, just in time to see Zhong Yuxiao's mother walking out of the building again and getting into a car that had just arrived.

"Don't worry about it." Zhong Yuxiao said, "She doesn't pay attention to me when she sees me."

Liu Jinya didn't feel relieved at all, and became even more worried, "Is she angry with you?"

"No, she came to deliver documents to my dad, in a hurry,"

Liu Jinya was still worried, "No matter how busy you are, you won't ignore your daughter..."

Zhong Yuxiao was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm also in a hurry."

"Wait." Liu Jinya became suspicious, "Did Auntie ignore you, or did you use the excuse of being in a hurry to avoid it?"

Zhong Yuxiao confessed, "There are all of them."

"It can't be like this..." Liu Jinya was most afraid of this situation, and tried to persuade her, "The cold war can't solve any problems."

Zhong Yuxiao didn't answer her words, turned on the radio to play music, and muttered in the rumbling dynamic background, "I'm hungry."

"..." Zhong Baobao's words seemed very soft and cute in the rock music, Liu Jinya didn't have the heart to continue, thinking that it would be better to relax during the lunch break, so she resignedly turned to her mobile phone to discuss, "What shall we eat?"

"hot pot."

"Alright, it's hot."

Zhong Yuxiao took the time to wait for the red light to glance at her, her eyes were like stars, "I will stay with you longer."

The love words were caught off guard, Liu Jinya had nothing to do, almost got drunk in Zhong Yu's tired and crooked eyes, bit her lips and whispered back, "Who used to go to work without a bit of reluctance..."

Zhong Yu knew that he was straightforward enough, "Me."

"..." Liu Jinya glared bitterly, "Why are you so clingy now?"

Zhong Yuxiao's answer was very good, and he pressed a soft kiss on her cheek sideways.

Liu Jinya stopped asking questions.

Eating at noon was very pleasant. They ordered a table of dishes and ate them slowly.After eating, Liu Jinya received a call. It seemed that Mr. Kang was afraid that the bottom of the boiling hot pot would be too loud, so he turned down the heat and took a sip of water to moisten his throat before answering it cautiously, "Hello."

"Jinya, are you free this afternoon?"

Mr. Kang has always been thoughtful in his arrangements, and he rarely asked such impromptu questions. Liu Jinya was surprised, and faintly felt that there was something urgent behind him, "Yes, what's the matter?"

"I'm sorry to inform you so suddenly, but I really can't find a candidate." Mr. Kang also felt sorry, and explained the details before talking about the details. "A friend is coming to visit this afternoon. I can't go back because of something. Can I trouble you to receive me?"

Although the gallery is being decorated and has not been officially opened, some employees are still on call around the clock, and there is no situation where no one is receiving them.Liu Jinya knew that Mr. Kang believed in herself and was unwilling to live up to the trust. Without much experience, she gritted her teeth and agreed, "Okay, can I show her the gallery?"

"Well, she is an art lover and is very curious about calligraphy and painting. You can talk about general knowledge and answer questions while you are shopping with her. After the end, just take her to the theater with the driver."

Liu Jinya took out her notebook, "What's your friend's name?"

"Her name is Liu Yongfang. I'll send you the contact information and phone number later."

Liu Jinya was stunned, staring at the information that was written down in the notebook not long ago.

While shopping in the supermarket in City A, Zhong Yuxiao accidentally mentioned that her mother liked the dramatist Liu Yongfang. Liu Jinya had an impression. When she was bored while waiting for the bus, she looked it up and wrote down Liu Yongfang's information in her notebook. .

Liu Yongfang is more than 60 years old, and has already retreated behind the scenes. Back then, she was very popular with her emotions and affectionate eyes.After not appearing on stage, Liu Yongfang lived a low-key life and was unwilling to participate in activities. Last year due to illness, she was absent from the reunion of classic repertoire actors arranged by the TV station, which made many people feel sorry. , I am satisfied with a word of peace.

The last news Liu Jinya found was that a director of an opera theater mentioned Liu Yongfang, saying, "When she recovers, she will go on stage again to cheer for the younger generation."

Two days later, Mr. Kang called and mentioned another Liu Yongfang.

Are they alone?

Liu Jinya was puzzled, and felt that it was not such a coincidence. After recording the message from Mr. Kang, Zhong Yuxiao sent it to Yaqiu Qingmeng Gallery.

When she was doing business before, she was taken by Mr. Kang to meet a group of people, and she became familiar with the staff. When she had nothing to do, she got together to chat, talk about the plan for the official opening of the gallery, and talk about recent events. Naturally, the topic turned to Liu Yongfang, the distinguished guest who was about to arrive.

Liu Jinya asked curiously, "Is it the dramatist Liu Yongfang?"

Compared with TV stars, the opera world is too unpopular for ordinary people. The staff looked at each other, but they couldn't explain clearly. They only knew that she was a bold woman. The last time I saw the photos, I ordered a Chinese painting. This time I came to visit , I do not know what to buy again.

There is business and friendship, no wonder Mr. Kang attaches great importance to it, and sends messages to remind her from time to time.

When Liu Jinya was dreaming, Liu Yongfang came, wearing an ordinary loose sportswear, her eyes were piercing, her face without a little makeup was full of wrinkles but her energy was not weakened at all, she could vaguely recognize the appearance of singing in the past .

"Hello." Liu Jinya recognized it all at once, was stunned for a while, and was urged by others before going up to him.

Liu Yongfang smiled kindly, and said loudly, "Is it Xiao Liu? Old Kang told me."

"Yes." Liu Jinya led Liu Yongfang to sit down, "Please sit down."

Liu Yongfang took the water glass, drank a couple of sips and said, "I have something to do tonight, can I start the tour now?"

"Of course!" Liu Jinya hurriedly led the way, "Do you want to take a look at the "Bamboo Rhyme" you ordered last time?"

"Listen to you."

Liu Jinya smiled, received the guests according to Mr. Kang's instructions, and said cautiously after walking to a place with few people, "I didn't expect to see you."

"Do you like listening to opera?" Liu Yongfang guessed the reason.

Liu Jinya smiled dryly, "I know a little bit, my family likes you and admires you very much."

She doesn't like her girlfriend's mother. This identity is too complicated. She chose the gentlest word for Zhong Yuxiao's mother, family.

It is rare for young people to recognize it, Liu Yongfang was very happy, pointed to the painting on the wall, and said relaxedly, "I know a little about this, let's help each other?"

Liu Jinya nodded hurriedly.

Liu Yongfang is indeed very interested in calligraphy and painting. He has heard of some famous masters, and he is especially able to distinguish one or two styles. It is difficult to meet similar paintings of the same school, especially the contemporary famous Qi Meng who asks students to copy their own finished works. A set of paintings, but I didn't recognize the real ones.

"The easiest way is to take a look at the paper." Liu Jinya said patiently, "The original work is much earlier. There was a story..."

In the afternoon, Liu Yongfang walked a lot, and she didn't feel tired, so she thanked her very happily, "Thank you, Xiao Liu."

"It's okay." Liu Jinya remembered Mr. Kang's entrustment, "It's almost 5 o'clock, I'll take you to the theater."

"Row."

On the way there, Liu Jinya felt that it was okay to sit in the car, so she took out her notebook and asked for Liu Yongfang's autograph. You can bring it to your family."

"Thank you!" Even though Liu Jinya suspected that Zhong Yuxiao's mother would not accept it, she happily accepted it and couldn't help thanking her.

Liu Yongfang saw that she put away her autograph like a baby, and said, "Well, I'll take you to the backstage later, take a photo with you with a red tassel gun, and help you get a copy of the classic version of "The Art of Opera" , you take it home as a souvenir."

The other party was so enthusiastic, Liu Jinya panicked, "Is it convenient?"

"Why is it inconvenient." Liu Yongfang said, "It's rare to have such a fate, just put it away, don't be polite to me."

Liu Jinya longed for the mother-in-law's good face so much, bit her lip and nodded, "Thank you so much."

"It's okay, you taught me so much today, it's tuition fees."

The car drove near the theater, and the driver asked where to go. Liu Yongfang was not afraid of being recognized when he was young and popular, and he had no scruples when he was older. After pointing to the public parking lot, he generously took her from there. Go through the main entrance.

Liu Jinya was a little worried at first, but later found that the people nearby really didn't recognize Liu Yongfang, so she followed her with peace of mind.

Near the door, there was an exclamation.

Liu Jinya followed the prestige and saw Zhong Yuxiao's mother waiting to enter.

Without the indifference of last time, Zhong Yuxiao's mother is like a little fan, holding the ticket in a daze, looking at Liu Yongfang, and then looking at her...

This time, there was no detour.

The author has something to say: The Zhong family's ancestors beat the face
