Chapter One Hundred and Five
Happy New Year.
Whether it is Lin Xiao or Xu Yuanhang, it is the first time for both of them to spend the New Year in such a way outside, and they can't help but be a little restrained.
Compared with He Qixin's superiority, He Bo and his wife are much more gentle and enthusiastic. From the very beginning, the enthusiasm of both of them was just right. When he looked at Lin Xiao, the three "outsiders", the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of joy and happiness, and at the same time, he would not seem too eager.
Many times, moderate enthusiasm and a certain amount of indifference make it easier to get closer to each other to some extent.
In addition to saying hello at the beginning, Uncle He and his wife gradually relaxed, no longer greeted eagerly, and did not ask why the three of them did not go back for the New Year, the topic went back and forth but it was only at the dinner table, nothing more.
Lin Xiao quietly breathed a long sigh of relief.
"This year's Spring Festival Gala doesn't feel very interesting. Xu Yuanhang had almost finished eating, and began to leisurely comment on the TV program that had been serving as background music.
He Bo turned his head and looked at it, and said, "Eh, no one will calm down tonight, mainly to eat." When I get up tomorrow, I will go to see it as a way to pass the time, and I think it will be quite lively. ”
"Don't talk about yourself like a lonely old man," He Qixin couldn't help it, interjected, and said: "I'm usually busy enough in the store, and I hope it can be more lively." ”
He Mu did not show weakness and retorted: "It's just that it's usually lively enough, but it's still cold and lonely during the New Year." ”
"Tut-tut," He Bo pointed at He Qixin and shook his head, with a sad face: "Xiaolin, he bullied you a lot when he was in the company before, right? I don't know how so many people in VISION endured it?"
"How can you endure it, endure it for the sake of money. Huang Lu didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, he looked at He Qixin with a gloating face, and said leisurely: "Alas, Huang Shiren has been old for many years, and he probably won't care." ”
Xu Yuanhang suddenly couldn't hold back his laughter, he didn't expect that just now he was so indifferent and high-minded, he was so quickly turned into a new generation of Huang Shiren.
"What's the matter? Now that you have finally found an opportunity to give up your cherished throne of Huang Shiren?" He Qixin slowly picked up the cup, took a sip of wine and continued: "The teasing words are one set of words, and I usually suffer a lot. ”
Huang Lu was not happy, and sighed: "You don't think much of yourself, I'm not you, and I was scolded by my colleagues in my heart if I had nothing to do." Fantes's sense of collective honor, how can you wait for Xiaoxiao to speculate here?"
"Oh-" He Qixin specially dragged out the end note, smiled and drank another glass, as if the three big words "don't believe" were written on his face.
"Oh, don't believe me. Huang Lu snorted, his eyes fell on Lin Xiao, who had been drinking silently next to him, and said, "I don't believe you asked Lin Xiao." ”
Suddenly hearing his name, Lin Xiao was stunned, and before he could say anything, he heard He Qixin say with great disdain: "Come on, what does she know? ”
"I know how to go to work. Xu Yuanhang followed and secretly fanned the flames.
"How do you speak?" He Mu pretended to be angry, comforted Lin Xiao and said: "Xiaolin is much better than you, you look at you one by one, it's not as good as Xiaolin's neatness." ”
"That's because I'm good-looking. Lin Xiao drank some wine, his mind was a little confused, but his mood rose a lot, and said: "If they can't clean up, it's just like that, of course they can't compare with me." ”
"Eh, you're pretty good at climbing up the pole. Huang Lu couldn't laugh or cry.
"After drinking a little wine, I said what was in my heart. He Qixin turned his head to look at Huang Lu and said seriously: "Usually you pay attention to her, this anti-bone boy." ”
"The anti-bone boy who threw his head and spilled blood, you really know how to say. He Bo didn't agree either, looked at He Qixin and said, "You are so fierce, no wonder Lin Xiao hasn't come to my store to eat for a whole year this year, I guess I was scared away by you." ”
"What's the matter with me?" He Qixin was not happy anymore, and retorted: "Maybe your craft has retreated, and she doesn't like to come." ”
"Hey, you kid, it's the other way around. ”
......
Lin Xiao drank a little too much, and he could clearly hear what they were saying, but he couldn't react. The words he wanted to say were gagged, and when he opened his mouth, he forgot what he wanted to say, so he could only watch them interact noisily and shouting.
It seemed that she could no longer think of anything else besides what everyone was saying at this time, and she didn't have to bother to study what they were talking about and what she should have responded correctly. Just relax, drink lightly, say things that don't make any sense, and sit like this easily.
"Uncle He opened a noodle restaurant?" Xu Yuanhang listened for a while, and then roughly understood, and asked with some curiosity: "Why didn't Mr. He inherit this craft and change his career to trade?"
"He inherited half of it," Huang Lu explained with a smile, "He inherited to do business, to be a profiteer, and not to become a chef." ”
Referring to this stubble, He Bo also seemed to have some obvious regrets: "Alas, now I am a waste with infrequent limbs, and I can't even cook noodles in boiling water." "Not only Uncle He, but even Mother He has a regret that there is no successor to his cooking skills.
Immediately, Uncle He changed his words and greeted Xu Yuanhang: "Listen to them, you are also opening your own shop?"
didn't expect the topic to suddenly fall on his head, Xu Yuanhang was still a little confused, nodded and said, "Well, make Hanfu." Only...... In the TV series, the kind of clothing that is more formal. ”
"I know, I know. Mother He waved her hand, and her tone was extremely proud: "There are still a lot of student babies in our store, and I often listen to them chatting. It's nice to see, but there are too few people who wear it, and it's not very convenient to work. ”
"Anyway, if you open your own store, you can have more free time, and you will often come to the store to eat when you have nothing to do. When Uncle He said this, he glanced at Huang Lu, and there was a little accusation in his expression, and said: "Lin Xiao used to come to the store from time to time, but he hasn't been here once this year, did your kid say bad things about us to her?"
A big black cauldron fell from the sky inexplicably and buckled on his head, Huang Lu hurriedly shouted injustice: "How is it possible? You probably know Lin Xiao better than me, can she still stop her?"
Lin Xiao finally reacted, tilted his chin slightly in the direction of Huang Lu, nodded with a smile, and said, "Well, you didn't let me come." ”
Huang Lu opened his mouth, wanting to say something to deny it, but he was slightly stunned at Lin Xiao's smile, and then he couldn't say anything.
"Okay, okay, I announced that the team building activities of Vanters will be in the commercial center, the greatest Lao He noodle restaurant. ”
Hearing this, everyone was immediately overjoyed and burst into laughter. Xu Yuanhang was even more shocked, and gave a thumbs up in admiration for how well Huang Lu climbed up the pole.
When he and his wife were young, their conditions were not good, like many young people of that era, they were really poor and white. Later, I slowly worked hard, starting from a night market stall, relying on real craftsmanship, and gradually opened a noodle restaurant, and there was a stable small business. He Qixin has been in the noodle restaurant since he was a child, helping to collect money and settle accounts, but he didn't learn to bend his mind to meet the rules, but learned to be ruthless to himself and work.
Before graduating, he began to plan his own work and business. At that time, I partnered with others, but in just ten years, I have achieved the VISION to where it is today. It's just that the old couple is used to the days when the noodle restaurant is ushered in, and insists on opening the store. It's not like at the beginning, it's forced by life, but it's also easy and comfortable.
Lin Xiao's impression of the old couple of them was very good, especially after often following He Qixin's side, and the two elders gradually became familiar with each other. When Lin Xiao was the busiest before, He Lao and the others would pack some takeaways and supper for her when they had nothing to do, and they almost regarded her as a goddaughter.
I have to say that this kind of elder care that can still be felt in a foreign land is indeed quite touching. gradually became familiar, and Lin Xiao would often come to the noodle restaurant to chat with the two old men.
But since what happened at the beginning of the year, she hasn't been seen in front of them again.
The more you care about the relationship, the more worried you are about disappointing the other person.
He Qixin didn't speak, but just poured some more wine into Lin Xiao's cup.
Lin Xiao glanced at him, and before he could speak, the cup in his hand was taken away. Her thoughts were a little numb now, and after being stunned for a moment, she turned her head to look at it, and Huang Lu had already put her cup next to her.
"Drink less. Huang Lu's tone was flat.
"Hmm. Lin Xiao nodded, and then heard Huang Lu say slowly: "I have to continue the live broadcast tomorrow." ”
Xu Yuanhang sighed: "It's really not a human being." ”
He Qixin is quite frank about this: "Resign, a new year and a new beginning." ”
Bang –
Bang –
The sound of fireworks exploding in the air sounded from afar, the second and third-tier cities are this good, although fireworks and firecrackers can not be set off on weekdays, but during the New Year's holidays, there are many people who go to remote places.
Although this house has been bought for a long time, it is better in the location and environment, and there is a small square next to it. Looking out of the window, it was still raining lightly outside, but there were also many people gathered there in twos and threes, ready to set off firecrackers at midnight.
"Let's go down and set off fireworks?" Huang Lu stood up, walked to the window and glanced at it, then turned back to everyone and said.
He Qixin sneered and pierced mercilessly: "I can't hold it back, I want to go out to smoke, right?"
Huang Lu laughed twice, noncommittal.
"Okay. Lin Xiao also stood up, the cold wind blew in through the window, and she rarely felt that her thoughts were clearer.
"I'm not going. Unexpectedly, Xu Yuanhang suddenly said.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xiao looked at him and asked curiously.
"Qi Ji is looking for me. ”
