Chapter 52: A Father's Love Is Like a Mountain
"It's time to eat!"
It was busy for almost an hour.
The sound of monkeys came from inside the kitchen.
Xiao Zhang and the others got up and went to the kitchen to help, bringing the cooked meals to the table one by one.
"Sit down, everybody. Yang Shumin invited.
Everyone sat down around the table.
Xiao Zhang brought two bottles of drinks, opened them and put them on the dining table.
"The monkey's craftsmanship is really getting better and better!" Yue Meihua tasted the food and was full of praise: "Xiaojie, you will have a good mouth in the future!"
"If you like to eat monkey dishes, you can come back often. Qiao Jie said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'm not welcome. Yue Meihua replied.
As soon as the words ended, there was a burst of cheerful laughter at the dining table.
At this moment, a mobile phone ringtone came.
The monkeys put away their laughter and looked at Qiao Jie curiously.
Qiao Jie put down her chopsticks, took out her mobile phone from her pocket, looked at the caller ID, and her face suddenly changed.
"Whose phone is it?" asked the monkey with concern.
"My mom. Qiao Jie replied.
The monkey was silent.
"Answer the phone. Xiao Zhang reminded with a flat expression.
Qiao Jie nodded, got up and took her phone to the side to answer the phone.
"Xiaojie is okay, right?" the old man looked at the monkey curiously.
"It's fine. Xiao Zhang smiled casually: "Let's eat, everyone." ”
It didn't take long for Qiao Jie to hang up the phone and come back, her face a little ugly.
"What did Auntie say?" asked the monkey impatiently.
"My mom asked you to come to my house in the afternoon. Qiao Jie explained.
"What are you doing at your house?" the monkey wondered.
She didn't say anything on the phone. Qiao Jie sighed and replied.
"Otherwise, don't let the monkeys pass. Yue Meihua knew in her heart that Qiao Jie's mother would definitely not be good if she called at this time.
"Since it was Xiao Jie's mother who called to ask for it, then Xiao Liang must go. The old man, who was still in the dark, demanded solemnly: "Otherwise, it will look very rude to the monkey." ”
"But ....... Qiao Jie wanted to speak again and again, not knowing whether to tell the truth.
"Grandpa Hou is right, the monkey should take a trip. Xiao Zhang said with a cold expression: "There are some things that can't be avoided, and sooner or later you have to face them, rather than this, it's better to understand it as soon as possible." ”
"Grandpa and Boss have a point;" said the monkey with a dejected expression.
The corners of Xiao Zhang's mouth pursed, and he reached out and patted the monkey's shoulder: "Don't worry, I'll go with you then." ”
"Really?" the monkey immediately became agitated.
I don't know what's going on, with Xiao Zhang by his side, the monkey has a strong sense of security.
The monkey is a man, and he has to rely on others, which even the monkey himself feels embarrassed.
"Let's eat. Xiao Zhang nodded.
"Xiao Shao, the monkey matter is going to trouble you. The old man said gratefully.
"Wrap it around me. Xiao Zhang smiled faintly and said.
After lunch, Xiao Zhang and the others went out.
In order to show his sincerity, the monkey insisted on buying a lot of things despite Qiao Jie's objections.
After more than 20 minutes, a taxi slowly stopped in front of a community.
Xiao Zhang and the others paid and got out of the car and followed Qiao Jie into the community.
This is an ordinary community, and the environment is reasonable.
Under the leadership of Qiao Jie, Xiao Zhang and the others carried large bags and small bags into a residential building.
The elevator stopped on the 5th floor, and Qiao Jie took out the key from her pocket.
"Here we are. ”
Qiao Jie reminded and opened the door of a room casually.
As soon as the door was opened, Xiao Zhang and the others sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
When I looked up, I saw more than a dozen people sitting in the living room.
The monkey's face suddenly showed nervousness and uneasiness, obviously frightened by the situation in front of him.
The corners of Xiao Zhang's mouth twitched, and he quietly pushed the monkey, and several people entered the living room.
Qiao Jie also had a surprised expression.
But she knew in her heart that all this must be her mother's handiwork.
"Mom, what are you calling so many relatives for?" Qiao Jie asked unhappily.
"Don't speak. Li Guilan scolded directly, and then glared at the monkey fiercely: "Today I invited your seven aunts and eight aunts over, and I want you to know what they think." ”
Obviously, Li Guilan has a great prejudice against monkeys.
In her opinion, if it weren't for the monkey who brought people to the Huiju Hotel at noon today to make trouble, she would have been the in-laws of the Ji family now, but because of the monkey's nonsense, she was nothing.
"Xiaojie, I've heard from your mother about the general thing. One of the obese men spoke first, and this opening was the tone of the lesson: "Your parents raised you so big, I don't know how much suffering you have suffered, and now your father is sick like this, it is when you need your help, but you have to stand by and watch, is your conscience eaten by dogs?"
"Your uncle is right. The woman sitting next to the obese man also followed and educated: "The conditions of the Ji family are so good, you marry Ji Shao, you don't have to worry about clothing, food, or talk about it for the rest of your life, and you can also treat your father, but you just chose this poor boy and followed him, delaying you for the rest of your life, and your father has no money for treatment." ”
"Yes, Xiaojie, you are so unfilial!"
......
Rumors and education followed.
Qiao Jie was stunned that these so-called relatives said that they were useless.
"Alright. Qiao Mingcheng suddenly slapped the coffee table hard, and shouted loudly: "This is my family matter, so you don't have to worry about it." ”
Maybe he was overly emotional, Qiao Mingcheng began to cough non-stop.
"Dad. Qiao Jie hurriedly ran over, poured a glass of water and handed it to her father.
Qiao Mingcheng gently put down the teacup in his hand and looked at his daughter with guilt: "I'm sorry, Xiaojie, it was Dad who dragged you down." ”
"Dad, don't say that. Qiao Jie's tears began to flow uncontrollably: "It's me who is not good, I didn't think about you." ”
"Xiaojie, if you still have a little conscience, you should think about it for your father. Li Guilan took the opportunity to say.
"Shut up for me. Qiao Mingcheng forced a cough and scolded: "I said a long time ago that Xiaojie's lifelong affairs are decided by herself, as long as she is happy, but why do you always like to make assertions, and today you called all the people from your mother's family, what do you want to do? Xiaojie is your biological daughter, it is the meat that fell from your body, can't you think about it?"
"I'm not thinking about you yet, your illness can't be delayed any longer, in case you leave, leaving me alone, what should I do?" After speaking, Li Guilan did not forget to wipe the corners of her eyes.
"As long as my daughter can be happy, I will be happy even if I die. Qiao Mingcheng said resolutely: "If you let your daughter sacrifice her life of happiness to treat me, I Qiao Mingcheng will never agree to this kind of thing." ”
It is said that father's love is like a mountain, and Qiao Mingcheng is vividly acting at this time.
"Dad. ”
Qiao Jie couldn't restrain her emotions, threw herself into her father's arms, and cried bitterly.
