Notes on life in the urban-rural fringe area

, So when Qian Yuanzheng finished the reunion dinner, he was afraid that Shen Xiaopeng would be thinking about the New Year alone, so he called his home in Shengzhou to comfort him, but found that no one answered the phone.Qian Yuanzheng thought that maybe Shen Xiaopeng was locked in his room playing computer and didn't hear the phone ring, so he called Shen Xiaopeng's cell phone instead.

"Why is no one answering the phone at home?" Qian Yuanzheng asked.

"Uh..." Shen Xiaopeng hesitated, although he didn't know why he hesitated, and even lied: "I...didn't hear."

"I didn't hear it after so many rings. I really convinced you. Why don't you turn down the sound of the computer..." Qian Yuanzheng muttered: "Oh, but there are firecrackers being set off outside, so it will be affected."

"Xiaopeng, can you eat spicy food?" Yuan Bin's voice came from the kitchen.

"..." Shen Xiaopeng and Qian Yuanzheng muted their voices at the same time, and the firecrackers in the two cities were also ready to watch a joke. There was no more chaotic noise, and the quiet environment ensured that Yuan Bin's voice could be heard clearly again: " Never mind, I made a mandarin duck pot, my mother is from Sichuan, and I like everything spicy..."

"Who is he? At my house?" Qian Yuanzheng was furious.

"I..." Shen Xiaopeng didn't explain it, and it didn't matter if he didn't explain it.

"What about me!!" Qian Yuanzheng was very upset. He wanted to know who was on the other end of the phone, the person who dared to break into the house on New Year's Eve, occupying my house, and coveting me!

"Can you be more conscious? Is this your home? Can you die if you don't take advantage of it? I said that if you bring the tenant back, you have to get my consent?!" Seeing that Shen Xiaopeng didn't speak, Qian Yuanzheng felt that Shen Xiaopeng was in the wrong, and said further : "I just rented the house to you, but not to..."

"He is my boss. I will celebrate the New Year at his house. The landlord is at ease. I dare not use the landlord's house to entertain others." Shen Xiaopeng took a deep breath, as if the stagnation, guilt, and bewilderment just followed this action It disappeared without a trace, and then hung up the phone.

I'm so stupid that I would actually think that I would become friends with that kind of person.The so-called friends are "divided into groups", and they are based on a common level, either from an evenly matched background or equal strength.Just as the prince and Cinderella are fairy tales, the relationship between the rich second generation and the little grassroots is only "on a whim" and "nowhere to cling".After all, they are not going to be friends.Shen Xiaopeng thought of what Qian Yuanzheng said to Zhao Qikan when he talked about one of his top classmate: "A poor man is a villain, but a rich man has a conscience." Being rich or poor has nothing to do with character, I just said it casually, don't worry too much hahaha..."

At that time, Shen Xiaopeng still felt that he had won back a victory, and he was quite proud.Now that I think about it, it’s just that Qian Yuanzheng is too lazy to communicate with himself on this issue. Why is he unwilling to communicate? Because they all understand that Shen Xiaopeng is poor and Qian Yuanzheng is rich. When the three tutors were teaching, Qian Yuanzheng was calling his brother to discuss what kind of new car to buy.When he was busy with internships for various national and provincial exams for his graduation thesis, Qian Yuanzheng rented out the house so that he could easily spend his days.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" While Shen Xiaopeng hung up the phone and immersed himself in the logic of the second grade, Yuan Bin set up the hot pot, adjusted the sauce, put the hard-to-cook meatball egg dumplings in first, and served I boiled a few slices of mutton and threw them into Shen Xiaopeng's bowl. Seeing that Shen Xiaopeng was still in a daze, I thought he was sad after answering the phone at home, so I fumbled in my pocket and took out a red envelope and threw it to him: " Here, happy Chinese New Year, my brother will give you lucky money."

"..." Shen Xiaopeng regained his composure, staring at the red envelope speechlessly: "I'm not a child anymore, and besides, I'm not sad."

"Come on, I'm going to cry. As for whether you are a child or not, it doesn't matter what you say. If you are not married, you are considered a child, and you will be given every year in the future. The money is not much, just be fun."

"This...how embarrassing..." Shen Xiaopeng repeatedly refused, the boss called him over to celebrate the New Year, and prepared the New Year's money. How capable is he to be appreciated by the boss!Shen Xiaopeng thought narcissistically.

"What's there to be embarrassed about, let's be honest, I know very well that I am a small translation company, Miao Xiao, sooner or later you will have to leave..." Yuan Bin took a sip of wine, paused and said: "But you, as my Employee, the rewards I gave you are all reflected in your year-end bonus. Everything today, you can understand him as a brother caring for his younger brother. One day you may not be my employee, but as long as you want, you are my brother."

Shen Xiaopeng stared at him blankly, subconsciously keeping his hands in the gesture of refusing the red envelope.

"Or, father and son?" Yuan Bin saw his face upturned, looking silly, stretched out his hand to pinch his face, and smiled wretchedly.

You do!Shen Xiaopeng complained in his heart that he still hadn't resisted Boss Yuan's dominance after all, so he took the red envelope, thinking in his heart whether he should find a chance to give Boss Yuan something in return.

Yuan Bin is a very talkative person. With a few words, he diverted the topic to other places. He talked about his entrepreneurial experience, being cheated by others, getting no loans, and overcoming all kinds of difficulties. Finally, he made a small success today. Of course, it is not ruled out that there will be greater difficulties in the future. Shen Xiaopeng listened quietly, and gradually changed from being innocent to being at a loss after Yuan Bin's "brother theory" was put forward, and now to admiration, even admiration .

Like himself, he has no good father and no background!

He is now relying on his own efforts every stitch and thread.

The effect of hard work is not bad!

Shen Xiaopeng felt that his body was filled with strength all of a sudden, and his eyes became bright. He thought about what Yuan Bin said just now: "What can't be faced with failure? What can't be endured when you fall down. Stand up again." Just wake up!"

Looking back on today ten years later, all the honors and disgraces are like jokes. You are successful and famous. They only remember that you came from a humble background and built a family business with bare hands. Nothing has changed?That's fine, most people don't like to pay attention to losers, and at most they say "then someone is worse than me" when their wives complain about their incompetence. What does it matter?Anyway, there was nothing at all, but now it just continues to have nothing.

At this time, Shen Xiaopeng certainly didn't think he was the latter. He raised his glass to his idol and target, smugly said, "Thank you, Mr. Yuan..." Seeing Yuan Bin's slightly frowning brows, he quickly changed his words: "Brother Yuan...don't care about me. In the future, whether you are in our company or not, I wish our company development and growth." Then he raised his neck and drank it down.

Looking at Shen Xiaopeng's passionate appearance, Yuan Bin really felt that youth is invincible, and he is really old. All these years, he has been thinking about being conservative, and whenever there is a little risk, he must take "conservative" as the premise. Under the worry, many opportunities for expansion were lost.The so-called "wealth and wealth are sought in danger", blindly stick to success and dare not take risks.The final result is that I can't get up or down. Although I can't be hungry, I don't eat very well.

Shen Xiaopeng is swearing to be a rich generation here, while Qian Yuanzheng is trying to make up for Shen Xiaopeng's fall into the wolf's den, and the unscrupulous boss unspoken rules until the chrysanthemum is not guaranteed. Destroy the enemy camp, save your lover, no, love your neighbor...

The author has something to say: procrastination is really dying...

My class schedule for this semester has classes on Thursday and Friday mornings, and an elective class on Saturdays (once every two weeks), so I may focus on the other four days.Because we have to go to bed early on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday night...

PS: Recently, there is an ancient man who is conceiving and saving manuscripts...

☆, the father on the wall

When Chu Hongyi came home, his mother was staring at the photos on the wall in a daze. Chu Hongyi opened the door with a key. When Chu Hongyi saw her son coming back, she had a smile on her face: "Come on, say hello to your dad." .”

"..." Chu Hongyi frowned imperceptibly. His father left when he was ten years old, and now he is almost thirty. Every time he has to say hello to his father on the wall, it is okay now that he is used to it. When he was young, Chu Hongyi often felt terrified. When he slept alone in a small bed at night and heard any movement outside, he would think it was his father walking down from the photo.

The combination of father and mother is the result of an era. My father was an educated youth who went to the countryside to jump in the queue. He married the daughter of a poor and lower-middle peasant who appeared to have a high social status at the time, that is, Chu Hongyi’s mother. After entering the university, I met a like-minded female classmate in the university. The two talked about the romantic love in college. Later, the female classmate married the son of a chief executive and went to the imperial capital. I didn’t see how sad, but it was Grandpa Chu who knew about the history of Father Chu in college and scolded Father Chu with jumping feet, saying that he dared to abandon his wife before he was in trouble. face, cut off his leg without taking his daughter-in-law over!Chu's father has always had no idea, and he followed his father's words, so he went back to the countryside in person after graduation, and took his wife back to Xin'an.

In the era when intellectuals were degraded and penniless, Mother Chu was proud of marrying Father Chu, and when Father Chu returned to the city, Mother Chu had been waiting where she was, and all the little sisters knew that Father Chu had passed the exam. University, thinking that Chu's father must be gone forever, they were all waiting to see her jokes, but they didn't see it.Cars were still a rarity at that time, and they drove into the village and brought Mother Chu and her luggage back to Xin'an.

Mother Chu did not enjoy any blessings in Xin'an. In the early years, Father Chu was a teacher in a middle school in Xin'an. Mother Chu did not have to work. She took Chu Hongyi at home to see her parents-in-law. Helping turn over frequently, this should have been done by the son, but mother Chu thinks that father Chu is a scholar, how can a scholar do this?So she scrubbed her father-in-law herself, turned over, and even served the toilet later.In the last few years, the father-in-law gave a thumbs up when he mentioned his daughter-in-law. Even his daughter-in-law may not be able to do this step, but the daughter-in-law has done it.Even the mother-in-law felt that Chu's mother was too used to Chu's father, especially after Chu Hongyi was added, and his son was Xiao Qi's father. Chu Hongyi, like his father, was good at reading and messed up housework. On the one hand, he might not be good at these things. On the other hand, it was also the reason why Chu's mother never let him do it.

Chu's father should be a person who enjoys blessings all his life. His wife is virtuous and his son is upbeat, but he feels like he will never be happy. , lasted for more than a year, and finally went, actually walking in front of Chu Hongyi's grandma.The dead are sometimes happy, and the living have to continue to live. Mother Chu works part-time for others, goes to the supermarket as a tally clerk, and goes to the restaurant to wash dishes. At most, she has four jobs a day. Hongyi pulled and grew up.After Chu Hongyi got to work, he was at leisure. Chu Hongyi stroked his mother's gray hair, and pulled out the laptop he brought for her from the suitcase. Just as he was about to talk, he saw Chu's mother pursing her lips with an unhappy expression on her face. Chu Hongyi sighed, and quickly said to the portrait on the wall: "Dad, I'm back."

Only then did Mother Chu smile, and touched her son: "I feel that you have gained a little weight this time, and you are fine. Hurry up and take a bath and sleep. I will wake you up to eat dumplings at night."

"I'll take a shower first, and I'll pack it for you after the shower."

"You don't need to do this kind of work, just wait and eat." Mother Chu took out the noodles and stuffing that had been reconciled a long time ago from the kitchen, rolled out the dough neatly, and made dumplings. Chu Hongyi watched for a while, He stepped forward and gave mother Chu a big hug.

"Why is this, the older you are, the more you go back, and you have learned to act like a baby?" Mother Chu kicked her son with flour on her hands.

"Mom, when the fund-raising room of my unit comes down next year, you can go to Shengzhou with me."

"What am I going to do, you don't marry a wife? The daughter-in-law now is different from ours at that time, and they don't like to live with their in-laws. By the way, Xiaoyi, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Yes...no..."

"Is it there or not?"

"We had a conversation a while ago, but we broke up later." Chu Hongyi said lightly.

"You, hey, just like your dad, you don't have a sweet mouth, and you don't know how to say it. Little girls don't like sweet mouths." Mother Chu wrapped a piece of sugar in the dumpling skin on hand : "Eat what you eat to make up for it, eat more sugar, and your mouth will grow into desserts in the coming year."

"..." Chu Hongyi was just about to pick up a dumpling wrapper and learn how to wrap it, but was photographed by Chu's mother: "Stay here, it's not your job." After a while, he seemed to remember something : "I watched it on TV. After breaking up, people are very painful. They can't eat and can't sleep. Why are you still fat? Your school food is so good?" Mother Chu asked curiously.

"The school dormitory is tight, and now I rent a house outside, er... the roommate I live with is from the imperial capital, and he is especially good at cooking..." Chu Hongyi paused, recalling the table that Zhao Qikan made up like a magic trick He swallowed his saliva like a conditioned reflex, and repeated: "The cooking is very delicious, and I often cook a small stove for me..."

Chu's mother suddenly got excited: "Really?!" Chu's mother was pleasantly surprised: "Nowadays, there are not many girls in the city who are so capable. Since you live under the same roof, you must take good care of it." , but there is something wrong with this girl, how can she share the rent with a big man casually, she is a bit too courageous."

Chu Hongyi: "..."

"It's not the two of us living here, there are others." Chu Hongyi added.

"Oh, that's about it. How old is the girl?"

I don't know why, but Chu Hongyi subconsciously didn't explain it. Poor Chu Hongyi has never lied since he was a child. Although it can't be regarded as a lie in the strict sense, he just concealed some important facts, but his heart still beat for a long time. : "Looks two years younger than me. Birthday on July 7"

"I even remember her birthday." Mother Chu said with a smile, "What do you do, girl?"

"Doing design in an electrical company." Chu Hongyi started to talk nonsense along the slope, and after thinking about it, he added: "We don't have that kind of relationship."

"Isn't it the kind of relationship where people give you a little trouble? They deserve you."

Chu Hongyi just wanted to say that Zhao Qikan also cooks for other people, but then he thought that Zhao Qikan really cooks for himself more often. When he prepares lessons and reads books by himself at night, Zhao Qikan comes in with various things from time to time. , sometimes it is steaming soup, sometimes it is exquisite dessert.Thinking of this, Chu Hongyi unconsciously brought a smile on his face.

"I'm sorry, that's fine. Mom can rest assured that there is such a girl. Don't neglect other girls during your winter vacation. If you have nothing to do, make a phone call or send a message, you know?"

"Hmm... oh." Following this remark, Chu Hongyi thought about the various interactions between him and Zhao Qikan, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and left a sentence in a hurry, "I'm going to take a shower", and turned around and got into the room. room.

The author has something to say: more

☆, couple synchronization rate

Shengzhou was the farthest from the imperial capital, and Zhao Qikan was the last to arrive home.

Red walls and blue tiles, painted buildings and carved beams, entering the gate is not a house, but a long stone bridge, with artificially dug ponds on both sides, koi swimming in the water, and a gazebo after crossing the small bridge. It was evening at this time, a few lights were lit in the courtyard, a few people were sitting in the courtyard chatting, the shadows of the mountains and rivers, the winding water flowing, the servants at home saw the master coming back, they all stepped forward to greet...

…Zhao Qikan stood in front of the unit building thinking//Laughing for a long time, finally came back to reality, dragged his suitcase and was the last one to squeeze into the elevator, pressed his own floor, when he got home, Zhao's mother was watching TV, Zhao's father was in the study When surfing the Internet, the parents saw their son coming back, and one of them yelled from the study room: "When are you leaving?"

The other pouted angrily: "Son, pass over the bag of melon seeds on the cabinet in the living room. I've bought all the vegetables and put them in the kitchen. Your dad and I will point to you at night."

Zhao Xiaowang sighed, and complained: "I have never seen parents like you. As soon as I entered the house, one asked me when I was leaving, and the other asked me to do it before I could catch my breath." live!"

The two parents in the room have a high synchronization rate: "Ama/Emiang, this is a sign of loving you!!"

"..."

Zhao Qikan entered the room unhurriedly. Although he had been away for so long, the room was still spotless. According to his mother's personality, she definitely didn't clean it often, so it could only be that she heard that she was back and cleaned it up suddenly. After finishing the clothes, shaking the quilt, I found a big red envelope under the pillow. Although it is a bit unreasonable for me to take the New Year's money at such an age, Prince Zhao still smiled very comfortably, and stretched himself on the bed. How to say, finally home wow!

Zhao Qikan changed his clothes and began to work quickly. Zhao Qikan's housework is so versatile mainly because he has a father and mother who are incompetent in housework. It has to be said that it is a miracle that he can grow up to such a large size safely.

One day in the fourth grade, Zhao Qikan came home from school, his parents both worked in the office, and they rarely worked overtime. Today, one held a parent-teacher meeting for himself at school, and the other went shopping with his best friend. After finishing homework, Zhao Qikan felt stomach When I was hungry, I went into the kitchen, scrambled an egg for myself, and made a bowl of simple Hu spicy soup with the bone soup at noon. When classmate Zhao was eating with gusto, his very reliable parents came back, Ama came in and squeezed the quick egg with her hands and put it in her mouth: "It's delicious! Daughter-in-law, it's better than yours."

After hearing this, Er Niang was very dissatisfied, but after tasting it, she had to accept this fact, so she wanted to regain some of her mother's self-esteem on Hu spicy soup, but after tasting a few spoons, her mother decisively patted classmate Zhao shoulder: "Go, make another pot, dinner will be it!"

From that day on, Zhao Qikan's unknown □ attribute was completely awakened. As time went by, except when he was very busy, he could no longer accept the meals cooked by his parents. The sisters lamented, "After eating the meals made by my son and then eating my husband's or my own, it feels like eating dirt."

Ama believes that there is at least 10086 Michelin-starred chefs between the couple's cooking skills and their son's level.

Since these two unreliable couples discovered their son's □ attribute, they bought all kinds of recipes and went home, letting their son study carefully. The ambiguous quantifiers such as "a little" and "slightly" are very precise, so basically there are recipes, and the ingredients are complete, Zhao Qikan can make them according to the appearance, so Zhao Qikan and his wife embarked on the "Raising Children and Anti-aging Jigu" early The broad avenue of "anti-hunger" is still a high-level technical job. The meals made by the son are not only the effect of "anti-hunger". His culinary skills were blown away by several blocks.So when the husband and wife heard that their son was going to study in Shengzhou thousands of miles away, their first reaction was: "What will we eat for these four years!"

Then I thought that my son might not pass the exam in his first choice, so he had to settle for second best, so in order to keep her son, Er Niang went to her natal family who didn't get along very often. It was not unreasonable for Zhao Qikan to say that he was a little prince. Not to mention that his father's family was indeed able to climb up with the nobles of the Qing Dynasty as relatives, of course it was the most down-and-out branch of the down-and-out nobles, but even today, his mother's natal family is very powerful.Zhao Qikan's grandfather used to be the commander of the Imperial Capital Garrison, and his mother was the youngest and only daughter of his grandfather. He resolutely found Zhao Qikan's father, a poor ghost, and stole the household registration book from his mother's house, obtained a marriage certificate, and when his grandfather realized it, Zhao Qikan had been cooking this little cooked meal in his stomach for more than a month.

Grandpa and grandma are very angry. Zhao Qikan's forehead is very beautiful. There are so many dignitaries in the capital who want to get married. The princess will not get married until 26. Everyone is thinking about how high the princess's vision is. I don't know. What kind of person can I find in the end, but the princess actually found such a mediocre object in all aspects, with no family background, no family business, ordinary office staff, who made grandpa and grandma very angry, grandma was soft-hearted, and supported her. After less than a year, I missed my daughter. My grandfather was hard-hearted and never paid much attention to his daughter. It was not until Zhao Qikan grew up to six or seven years old that he gave birth to cute Yuxue. The two elders met by chance, which made the second elder's heart melt Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Grandpa and grandmother both passed away when Zhao Qikan graduated from elementary school. Although the uncles loved my sister, they found that this brother-in-law was really useless. Obviously, the position he was in had great potential. Even if something happened, there would be a wife. But he just followed the rules and followed the rules. No matter how the wind blows and the rain blows, I will not move. The Zhao family has no interest in them, so the relationship will gradually fade away.

After Zhao's mother dialed out the phone number, Zhao's father here asked that his son's three volunteers filled in Shengzhou. How much does he love Shengzhou? !The couple were speechless.

The university resources in the imperial capital are extremely rich, and you can find the best ones in the imperial capital for any major you want to study. The two of them really couldn’t figure out why their son had to travel so far to Shengzhou. The son’s explanation was that he didn’t like the climate of the imperial capital, but his parents firmly believed that The son went to Shengzhou just for his little girlfriend, because the imperial capital at least has four distinct seasons, but the climate of Shengzhou can experience four seasons in one day.

Mother Zhao even hated the invisible daughter-in-law angrily: "Little vixen dares to seduce my son at such a young age, how can I deal with you when I see you in the house!"

"Son! Hurry up and resign from that crappy job in Shengzhou, and come back to take an exam for a civil servant. If not, I'll look for your uncle and the others..." Zhao Qikan spent the whole afternoon sorting out a table of delicious and delicious family banquets. Mother Zhao persuaded while eating the long-lost "Taste of Son".Dad concentrates on eating, and only occasionally picks out the shrimp from the dish and throws them into Mom Zhao's bowl. My wife loves aquatic products, especially the ones made by my son are the best.

"It's not necessary. I've done a good job in a foreign company, and I've even been promoted. My family and my uncle just make phone calls during the holidays. We don't usually move around, so what's the matter with asking someone rashly?"

"Even if it's a foreign company, isn't there more foreign companies in the imperial capital? How many of the world's top [-] companies have branches in the imperial capital." Zhao's mother chattered endlessly: "Your father and I are both old, and I have a bad stomach these few years. ..." Zhao's mother coughed a few times weakly like Lin Daiyu: "Why don't you hurry up and take care of your mother, hey, it's too late to see her."

"..." Father Zhao picked up a piece of fish, picked out the clean fishbone and put it into his wife's bowl: "Your mother is right, you see your mother's stomach hurts, and she coughed."

"..." Zhao Qikan had been speechless to the two couples since a long time ago. As he grew older, he became more and more at a loss as to what to say to the two elders: "Dad, your work has something to do with medicine anyway, stomach problems and coughs Is there any necessary connection?"

"Why not?! Both reflux gastritis and esophagitis can cause cough!" Dad picked up his chopsticks again, very proudly: "See, knowledge is power!"

"Let's talk..." Zhao Qikan casually said perfunctorily, an elegant and elegant face slowly appeared in his mind, that face was satisfied with the cute expression when eating the things he made, and the brows and eyes were confused when dealing with daily trivial matters , Zhao Qikan suddenly felt full of confidence when it came to topics in the academic field, and he just wanted to quickly finish his meal and contact the owner of that face: "No, I shouldn't plan to come back. If you really miss me , move to Shengzhou, anyway, didn’t you retire within a few years?”

The husband and wife looked at each other, and said in unison: "If you have a daughter-in-law, forget your mother/father!"

The author has something to say: Because it will involve the issue of coming out in the future, so I have to explain my family background...

☆, dedicated and passionate

Zhao's mother is not dead, she still stays in the kitchen after the meal to persuade her son to return to the imperial capital quickly, Zhao Qikan finished washing the dishes and tidying up the kitchen, at the moment he is making snacks for watching the Spring Festival Gala, rubbing salad oil into the small cake molds, the kitchen is not big , there were more people wandering around inside, and it was inconvenient for Zhao Qikan to get anything, so he finally interrupted his mother's nagging: "Mom, can you go out? I'm dizzy from you leaving here."

"Unlucky boy, let me tell you something serious. What's so good about Shengzhou? If you really like that girl, why don't you get her to come to the capital too? We'll pay for the train ticket..."

"Don't you have parents at home? Get it as soon as you say it, and you buy things on Taobao? Free shipping..."

"Then what do you say, you ran to Shengzhou, and my son was raised for nothing!"

"It's not that I won't come back, and I'm pretty good in Shengzhou, my unit is good, and I have a good relationship with my colleagues. I really don't want to move..." Zhao Qikan looked at his mother and worried. His mother is a lucky person. The biggest suffering is probably the few years when she was neglected by her natal family because she found her father, but her father loved her and protected her all her life, which caused her to be like a child. until.

"I'll think about it again. Be good, go out and play with my dad." Zhao Qikan set a time for the oven, started cutting fruit again, and shouted to the living room: "Dad, take your Fujin away quickly. I'm so bored I can't even work."

Ama got the order, went into the kitchen, took a few Poria cakes from his pocket, and tricked Fujin away.

Zhao's mother was sitting in the living room, still talking to Zhao's father: "Hey, it is said that having a daughter is extroverted, and raising a son is not much better, it is better to have a girl, Lao Li's daughter in my department, remember? When I was young, I always liked to cling to my mother’s house, and after I got married, I moved everything to my mother’s house, just like a squirrel that spends the winter, but the squirrel spends one winter a year, and it spends the winter all year round.”

Zhao's father was drinking tea, and almost spit out when he heard this metaphor: "Are you praising him?"

"Well, so to speak, it's fortunate that this girl didn't get along with us, or our family would have to let her vacate."

Zhao's father is good at this, and he is very patient with his wife. Even if Zhao's mother repeats one thing upside down several times, he can listen carefully, or seem to listen carefully, and then give advice: "If this girl really Like what you said, that's pretty unreliable, and her in-laws are not stupid, they endured it three or five times, can they still endure it forever?"

"Never mind her, she's not our daughter-in-law anyway, so why don't I use her as a metaphor, a metaphor that a daughter is not as good as a son!" After finishing speaking, Mother Zhao pinched Father Zhao gently: "It's all your fault. Come out with your daughter."

"..." Dad Zhao laughed silly, kept on hand, and cut out an apple in a short while, and shook it in front of Mom Zhao, and the whole strip of apple peel fell down in a spiral shape without interruption. Dad has practiced hard for many years, and Ms. Zhao never gets tired of watching it for many years. She took the apple from her husband and gnawed it with a smile. As a man, Mr. Zhao's career is not very aggressive. I have a wife with thick legs but I don’t want to hug him. The second is that he is too family-minded. There is no chance of promotion after so many years. I used to have an external transfer position with high professional requirements. He is the most qualified in the bureau. As long as I go there for two or three years, I will be able to leapfrog promotion when I come back, but I was rejected by his flirtatious "my wife doesn't want me to travel far away", and I have been evaluated as "fearful" in the agency since then.Some people also say that sister-in-law is too ignorant, what a great opportunity, isn't this going to break your official career.Once or twice, Dad Zhao didn't bother to explain, and there were too many gossips, and Dad Zhao said very honestly and sincerely, "I will panic if I don't see her for a day, let alone two or three years."

The grandfather also said later that the son-in-law was not promising, and complained that his daughter had a bad eye for picking men, but was pushed back by the daughter-in-law who said, "Heartless is not necessarily a hero, how can a wife be pitiful if she is not a husband."

Little prince Zhao has no princely style at home, he is as busy as a worker bee, cutting up fruit, baking cakes, and squeezing juice. Looking at the old man smiling, there is a little narrowness of "you are so capable" in the smile, and more satisfaction of "I love you as great as you".

"My classmates and their parents are all envious of my family." Zhao Qikan knew this when he was very young. It's not that there were no fights at home, but the time was short and the extent was limited. Most of the time, his parents were tired of Together, especially since he was in high school, the old couple are loving each other, but Zhao Qikan often feels like he has become a light bulb.

Zhao Qikan tidied up, his parents were leaning on the sofa and chatting on the TV, he entered the house, closed the door, loving and warm, witnessing such a relationship between husband and wife all day long, but at this moment, Zhao Qikan suddenly had the guts to find someone to settle down with, The impulse to treat him wholeheartedly was so strong that when Chu Hongyi's various data suddenly popped up in his brain, he immediately picked up the phone and dialed without the slightest hesitation.

The relationship between parents is there, the standard is too high, so that Zhao Qikan has been searching for so many years, changing partners more frequently than changing clothes. The person who guards --- "Come on, you're fooling me?!" Zhao Qikan remembered jokingly saying this to the other three people who lived with him before, and Shen Xiaopeng and Qian Yuanzheng "returned" to him in unison.
