Zhou Minghan quickly reached out his hand and said politely, "Hello, Auntie."

He smiled politely on his face, nothing unusual could be seen, but his heart was extremely nervous.

"Ah? Oh..." Li Shumei came back to her senses, smiled stiffly, but didn't shake hands with him.Zhou Minghan was suddenly a little embarrassed, his outstretched hand froze there, not knowing where to put it.

Han Qi also noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange, so he hurriedly pressed his arm, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, my mother doesn't understand your etiquette..."

Zhou Minghan hurried down the steps, showing a nonchalant expression and said, "It's all right, I'm the one who was abrupt, hehe..."

He smiled, but felt strange in his heart, always feeling that Li Shumei didn't like him very much.

Han Qi wanted to ease the atmosphere, so he said in a coquettish tone: "Grandma, what do you think?"

"Ah? What? What's the matter?" Li Shumei was distracted frequently.

Han Qi also felt that something was wrong with her today, so she couldn't help but said strangely: "It's because Mr. Zhou came to our house to stay. What's the matter with you, Mom? I just said that."

"Oh, I didn't hear clearly just now, this...Mr. Zhou, right?" Li Shumei answered indiscriminately, then turned her head and said to Zhou Minghan.

Zhou Minghan quickly put on a smile and said, "Auntie, you can just call me Xiao Zhou, this..."

"Oh, Mr. Zhou, right? I just heard that Ermao said that he was an intern at your place?" Li Shumei had never seen such a polite Zhou Minghan, and she couldn't say anything serious.

Zhou Minghan wanted to say, "I'm bothering you these few days", but he was interrupted before he could say anything, and the smile on his face froze again. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and immediately turned around and said, "Yes, Han Qi is a very conscientious student, very responsible for his work in the hospital, and often asks his seniors for advice..."

"Then this child is really troublesome for you to take care of. It is reasonable to say that you are his boss, and we have to help you no matter what happens. But this..." Li Shumei sighed at this point, with a serious expression on her face. Embarrassed, he said embarrassingly: "But here, we are also a rural family. It is not easy for a poor family to provide for a few children to go to school. The house is messy and crowded. It is really shameful..."

Zhou Minghan's face was stiff, and he squeezed a smile and said, "It's okay..."

"Oh, the child's father has gone out to work again, and we are orphans and widowed at home, so it's not suitable for you to go, right, I... oh..."

Li Shumei didn't give him a chance to interrupt at all, Han Qi yelled in dissatisfaction: "Grandma, why are you..."

Before finishing speaking, Li Shumei gave him a hard tug, and then said with a dry smile, "Look, this... is really not suitable for the family..."

Having said all this, what else can Zhou Minghan say?I had to say embarrassingly: "It's okay, I really shouldn't bother you, I can handle it myself..."

"I'm really sorry..." Li Shumei said politely on the surface.

"It's okay, it's okay..." Zhou Minghan acted calmly, but he was about to vomit blood in his heart. Now he was quite sure that Li Shumei had something against him.

It's really strange, they haven't seen it before, how could it be like this?Or did Li Shumei see something?In other words, when he first met Han Qi, he was so defensive about himself. Is it because his family members are all wary or he has a defensive face?Thinking of this week Minghan felt extremely depressed.

After Han Qi and Li Shumei sat on the bus back to the town, they couldn't help asking strangely: "Grandma, don't we have a spare room at home? Xiaomao lives in school and no one sleeps in his room, why don't you agree?"

Li Shumei's hands are still shaking up to now, she took a few deep breaths, turned around and asked seriously, "Er Mao, tell me the truth, how did you meet that person just now?"

Han Qi was startled suddenly, his heart missed a beat, he was afraid that Li Shumei would see something, he forced a calm smile and said: "Well, the place where Dad works is their company, when I went to report Didn’t he go to stay at Abba’s place for a day? It happened that he was going to inspect the work, so he met, and Abba was there at the time. Later, when he was looking for a job during the summer vacation, he found out that the hospital was also opened by him. What a coincidence, hehe... "

Li Shumei frowned when she heard this. It turns out that Han Qi met this person just after he went to City A. Could it be fate?No, no matter what, you can't let Han Qi get along with him, otherwise in the previous life...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but put on a straight face, and said seriously to Han Qi: "You don't want to deal with that kind of rich person. Our family is poor, but there is no need to please him..."

"Mom, what are you talking about? I just met him in the car and saw that he had lost his ID card, so I kindly let him come to our house..." He lowered his head and said, his heartbeat continued to speed up while lying, I always feel that Li Shumei seems to know something.

"Alas..." Li Shumei couldn't help but sighed, her face was full of worry.

When eating at night, Li Shumei always felt uneasy, and finally couldn't help asking: "Ermao, is there any girl you like in school?"

"Ah?" Han Qi almost choked on the meal, quickly took a sip of the soup, and said in a muttered voice, "Grandma, what are you talking about? Didn't you particularly object to puppy love before?"

"Then you are not young!" Li Shumei said with a glare at him.

"I'm only eighteen." Han Qi whispered.

"The imaginary age is also nineteen. Those of your junior high school classmates can walk now."

"Then I was two years old in less than two months after I was born. Besides, it's too early for me not to go to school! They didn't go to high school, and people in the city like to marry late and have children later." Han Qi argued.

"Well, anyway, you can look for it at your age. Don't ignore other little girls. I don't want you to look for someone who is good enough to take care of you..."

"Oh, Mom, what kind of girl am I looking for?" Han Qi couldn't help but said impatiently.

Li Shumei was startled for a long time before she lowered her head and ate in silence.

Han Qi also felt that what he said just now seemed not very good, but he didn't know where to start to say an apology, so he had to eat sullenly in the end.

After dinner, Han Qi helped clean up the dishes, only to find that the corners of Li Shumei's eyes were red, and her heart suddenly became heavy for some reason.He couldn't help saying softly: "I'm sorry, Mom, I shouldn't have said that just now..."

Li Shumei lowered her head and took the bowl aside to wash it. After a long time, she said in a low voice: "You were bored when you were young. You squatted on the threshold and didn't say a word for a long time. Grandma has been thinking about you. I also hate my mother for making you like this..."

"No..." Han Qi quickly denied it.

Li Shumei smiled wryly in her heart, how could she not hate it?When you died in the previous life, the last thing you said to grandma was to ask why grandma gave birth to you!

"Grandma..." Han Qi yelled worriedly behind her.

"Hey, it's our parents who committed sins, so the retribution will be on you..."

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Han Qi couldn't help frowning.

Li Shumei paused, then said while washing the dishes: "Auntie doesn't want to do anything else, I just hope you all can be well and the family can be happy together..."

Don't be like the previous life, dead and disabled.Speaking of this, her voice was a little choked up, and she stopped talking.

Han Qi couldn't help smiling and comforting: "Mom, what are you thinking about at home alone? We will definitely be together well!"

"Still together? Your father works in the south and comes back once a year. You and Da Ya also go to school in city A. This Xiaomao also said that he wants to take the exam in city A. I think you guys should just live in city A." , I live alone in the countryside, it’s great!"

"Oh, so I missed Dad! Don't worry, I will come back to accompany you in the future!" Han Qi couldn't help but teasingly said, trying to ease the atmosphere.

Li Shumei also laughed, and couldn't help but scolded: "You talk nonsense, you can take jokes on anyone?"

After laughing, I couldn't help but sigh again: "Oh, to be honest, it's good if you can come back after graduation. Big cities make money and consume a lot, how much money can you make there? You go back to your hometown, and grandma will go to see Dr. Liu. Oh, it’s the female doctor who delivered your baby. She is very kind to our family. I’ll look for her to see if I can let you work in the city hospital. But you’ve done so well in the university exams, so the hospital will definitely want you. When the time comes Your elder sister is probably married, and Xiaomao has graduated from university, and our family has nothing to spend money on. If you make money, you can keep the flowers yourself, and your father and I will hire two orchards to take care of them..."

Li Shumei was talking to herself, but Han Qi's heart became heavier the more she listened.In fact, the sentence just now was mostly a joke and consolation. At first, he really wanted to find a job in a hospital after graduation, and then return to his hometown to open a clinic after accumulating experience.

But that was just before, now that he was with Zhou Minghan, it was absolutely impossible to be like what he thought.First of all, it is absolutely impossible for Zhou Minghan to go back to the small place of City Y with him. Among other things, the foundation of the Zhou family is still in City A. What will happen to the Zhou family after they all come to City Y?What about Grandpa Zhou?

But if he was allowed to stay in City A, how would he explain to his parents?Before, he always thought that there were still seven years left, but what about seven years later?What should I do?

What if Mom and Dad firmly disagree?What if you can only choose between your parents and Zhou Minghan?

"...By the way, Ermao, you will come back after graduation, right?" Li Shumei turned to ask him after she finished thinking about it.

Those eyes were full of expectation and hope, and Han Qi couldn't bear to refuse: "Ah...this, should it be?"

"What shouldn't be? What are you doing in City A? You can't start a family in City A, right? It would be nice to come back!"

"Okay, I'll be back." Han Qi said with a forced smile.

After receiving the guarantee, Li Shumei immediately felt relieved, as long as she didn't stay in City A!

That night Han Qi had a rare insomnia, he kept thinking about what he and Zhou Minghan should do in the future.Every scene of him being kind to himself, rescued from Li Weishen, and carrying him on Weishan...

Then came the figures of his parents, Li Shumei planting rice seedlings in the scorching sun, Han Wen bought him a new padded coat and hugged him in circles... and their hands, Han Wen's hands were scratched by bricks The black cuts were extremely rough to the touch, and Li Shumei's hands were swollen like radishes in winter, with scars cracked.They worked so hard to make a living, just to earn a little money for their three siblings to go to school, and even when Han Wen broke his leg, he went back to the construction site before his leg healed.

Han Qi rubbed his fingers involuntarily, they were delicate and without a trace of scars. He often wondered whether his grandmother's hands were so beautiful when she was young, so white and without scars.

On one side is the lover whom he has known for a year and has dated for several months, and on the other is the parents who have raised him for 18 years. The balance in Han Qi's heart unknowingly began to tilt towards the latter.He closed his eyes and couldn't stop comforting himself, there would be a solution, maybe his parents would agree, maybe...

After returning home this time, Han Qi was in a low mood, which lasted until the beginning of school.Zhou Minghan was not in a good mood either, he felt that his mother-in-law didn't like him very much.He hesitated for a long time before telling Han Qi about this idea.

Han Qi was silent for a while after listening, and comforted him, saying: "You think too much, the house was not cleaned up in those days, my mother is embarrassed to let you go."

"Really?" Zhou Minghan asked suspiciously.

"Yes." Han Qi nodded.

Although Han Qi said so, Zhou Minghan still felt uneasy, and bit his ear again and said, "Should we disclose this to your parents..."

Han Qi couldn't help having a headache, and said, "Don't force me to do it all the time. You said they are rural people who are not open-minded and can't accept this kind of thing. How can I just say it? I didn't think of a way to make them accept it slowly. What are you in a hurry for?"

Zhou Minghan choked on him and couldn't help shutting his mouth. After thinking about it, he felt that he was too hasty. How can Han Qi be talented and still go to school.At this time, it is really not suitable to come out of the closet. If there is a breakdown, I am afraid it will be difficult to clean up.Alas, in fact, he just has no sense of security and wants to quickly let the other party's family admit him, eh?

After Han Qi finished speaking, he leaned on the sofa and rubbed his head.

"What's the matter? Headache?" Seeing this, Zhou Minghan went over to rub it for him, "Do you want to see Uncle Liu? I think you have been in a bad mood since you came back. Did something happen at home?"

"It's nothing." Han Qi gently waved his hand away, and said in a low voice, "It's just that you are too noisy, and I get a headache when you talk."

"Huh?" Zhou Minghan shut up, and felt aggrieved.

After school started, Han Qi moved back to the dormitory. Thinking of this, he was even more aggrieved.But fortunately, he has been busy with the bidding since then, and he forgot about his grievances when he got busy, and the number of times he looked for Han Qi became less, but there were no fewer phone calls and text messages.Han Qi looked at the morning and evening "weather forecast" on the phone and smiled helplessly. Although he told Zhou Minghan not to send any more, every time he saw these text messages, he still felt warm in his heart.

In mid-September, Zhou Minghan began to invite him frequently again. Han Qi hurried into a restaurant, saw the conspicuous person at a glance, immediately trotted over, opened the seat and sat down, and said, "How come you're so busy recently?" Are you free? The Zhou family is going bankrupt?"

"If you're bankrupt, can I invite you to eat here? Let's order!" Zhou Minghan smiled and handed over the menu.

Han Qi flipped through the pages and said, "To be honest, you've been very free lately."

"Oh, the universal assistant is back!" Zhou Minghan said with a smile.

Han Qi glared at him, and said, "You don't have to push him around, the senior is pregnant, and you should ask him to go back to spend more time with the senior."

This time Zhou Minghan just smiled and didn't say anything.

When the dishes were served, the two ate while talking, mainly talking about Han Qi's study.Han Qi once again felt that Zhou Minghan was different from his previous life, and it was impossible for Zhou Minghan from his previous life to chat with him while eating.

Zhou Minghan picked up a piece of chicken and put it into his bowl and said, "Eat more, your face is sharp again, have you lost a lot of weight recently?"

Han Qi leaned over and said, "You obviously gained weight when you weighed it!"

As he spoke, he put the meat into his mouth, but Zhou Minghan said to himself, "The scale must be inaccurate, I think it looks thin..."

Just as Han Qi was talking about getting up suddenly, he started to retch before he got up. Zhou Minghan hurried over to support him and asked, "What's the matter? Did you do the autopsy again before you came?"

Han Qi shook his head and said with difficulty: "The bathroom..."

Zhou Minghan hurriedly helped him to the bathroom, and as soon as he entered, Han Qi retched into the toilet, his face turned pale and his body was weak, but he didn't spit out anything.Zhou Minghan patted him on the back while frowning and said: "In the future, remember to let me know if you have done any experiments before eating. Let's not order those dishes? How can you do this? How can you dissect two mice and vomit?" Like this?"

Han Qi vomited so much that he didn't even have the energy to argue with him. He did have an anatomy class this morning, but he had already passed the stage of dissecting a mouse and throwing up after eating meat. He didn't know what happened today.

In the end, Zhou Minghan asked people to remove all the meat dishes, and the two ate some vegetarian dishes and left.Coincidentally, I bumped into Li Weishen just as I was going out.Zhou Minghan deeply felt that he would have to read the almanac in advance when he asked Han Qi to eat in the future. For some reason, he just didn't like Han Qi and Li Weishen meeting.

Li Weishen didn't pay much attention to Han Qi this time, but walked up to Zhou Minghan and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Zhou, I just heard that you are also interested in that piece of land after bidding for the land a few days ago." , You said you didn't say it earlier, otherwise how could I argue with you?"

When Zhou Minghan mentioned this matter, he became angry. It was a matter of surety, but it turned out to be embarrassing when it came to him.After the bidding results came out, Ye Jin kept apologizing, and even said that if he, the person in charge, hadn't taken a temporary leave, he would definitely not have lost to Li Shi.In fact, Zhou Minghan knew that he couldn’t be blamed for this. The development plan they came up with was much better than Li’s, and the team was on par with them. They were pretty sure before. With this kind of result, we can only say... Li Weishen really found it. A good father-in-law.

However, Zhou Minghan has long been calm after so many years in the mall. This kind of result... Although he is disappointed, he will not be decadent. In the mall, there are always winners and losers. He is not someone who can't see it.

So he blocked Han Qi behind him without any trace, and said with a polite smile: "That's really congratulations to Mr. Li, this time our Zhou family is convinced that we lost."

Li Weishen was naturally proud when he heard it, but he also knew that he would accept it as soon as it was good, so he pretended to be polite and said: "Mr. Zhou doesn't have to be too modest, in fact, the reservoir is not bad."

Zhou Minghan didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he pretended to be modest and said, "Where is it? It's not as good as Mr. Li's. This... we still have something to do, let's go first?"

At this moment, Li Weishen glanced at Han Qi behind him, and his eyes darkened involuntarily.Then there was some sarcasm and disdain, and said: "President Zhou is very affectionate, and he still keeps it now."

Zhou Minghan couldn't help being a little displeased when he heard his words, and said, "Mr. Li, this is my lover."

Li Weishen was taken aback for a moment, and Han Qi was also taken aback, and then his ears couldn't help but feel a little hot.

"We still have something to do, let's take a step first." After speaking, Zhou Minghan pulled Han Qi and left.

Li Wei couldn't help but sneered when he saw it, and said, "Is this showing the truth?"

Wei Yuting, who was following him, couldn't help but frowned and said, "Mr. Li, you shouldn't have gotten angry with him just now."

"What do you mean by that? Is it possible that I should compliment him even if I win?" Li Weishen said disdainfully, and walked into the restaurant.

Wei Yuting quickly followed up and said, "The chairman is in the hospital now, and he probably won't be able to get up. The only person in the company who can hinder you is the deputy director..."

"What are you talking about? That's my old man!"

Wei Yuting pushed his eyes and said: "The chairman is still your grandfather. Besides, he can force you to marry Ms. Song for his position as deputy director, and even let Li Hai take your position. Why should you miss him?" Besides, you are not going to kill your father or something, you just let him retire early, why are you working so hard when you are old? Isn’t this an act of filial piety?”

Li Wei smiled deeply after hearing this, and said, "I find that you are more and more able to guess what I'm thinking now?"
