Chen Anxiu's lunch was eaten with Wei Lin, in addition to tons and Yueran, there were also the girlfriends of Wei Lin who didn't know Lu Dao, what changed was people, what didn't change was the well-behaved and lovely character, depending on his age, he was in his early twenties, as for the name, just heard it, Chen Anxiu didn't pay much attention to it. A person like Wei Lin, young, handsome, rich, and unmarried, is enough to attract countless girls, not to mention that he has a good family background, immersed in it, everyone thinks that he is the one standing at the end of the line.

Wei Lin came over wearing a white sportswear, carried a tennis racket, slammed the table and said, "Why are you so engrossed?" ”

"Nothing, what about your girlfriend?" said that they would come out to play together, but after eating, they still wanted to play, and Wei Lin agreed to accompany him, but the girl never saw anyone.

Wei Lin glanced at him with a smile, took a towel to wipe the sweat on his face, "I asked her to help me get something, what, are you interested?" Introducing you to an introduction? ”

"I'm okay with my brain."

He has no problem with his brain, so he is changing the method to scold me for having a problem with my brain? Wei Lin laughed out loud, this Chen Anxiu, since the day he met, he didn't seem to be particularly restrained in front of their gang, not like a deliberate posture, but like nature. If it is said that it is acting, even he can't see the slightest flaw, but it can really be regarded as a skill. At first, they didn't have a good impression of Chen Anxiu, ordinary family background, ordinary education, ordinary career, I really can't see any point that can match the fourth uncle, even if the appearance is a plus, but it is not against the sky to the point that you have to be a king, and the fourth uncle is not the kind of person who has never seen the world and only covets the skin, everyone guesses that at most it is nothing more than Chen Anxiu secretly does not know how many means and how much effort he has taken, otherwise the fourth uncle wants to change his taste and try it, and the two of them will not be able to last long. These discussions did not gradually subside until it was revealed that Chen Anxiu was Lu Jiangyuan's son and Hongyuan's small boss. Of course, there are still some who are interested in watching a good show, so it can only be proved by time.

He could still laugh when he was scolded, Chen Anxiu didn't have the heart to analyze Wei Lin's magical brain circuit, his eyes turned back to the court, where Zhang Shinian was giving guidance to Ton Ton and Yueran, he had never seen Zhang Shinian play tennis, today was the first time, although he didn't know much about this, but just now he watched the fight between him and Wei Lin, it seems that the skills are okay, and now he is patient to guide the two children.

"This gentleman's guidance is very professional." The coach standing next to him couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Anxiu smiled politely and didn't answer, because he didn't know what Lu Daozhang's level was at that time.

Wei Lin glanced at Chen Anxiu, stretched out his legs and leaned on the back of the chair easily, and seemed to inadvertently write lightly, "Fourth Uncle has always played tennis very well, and he played several times in the American Collegiate Tennis League when he was in school, and his rankings were good. His permanent homes in New York and Hong Kong have tennis courts. But you don't seem to know anything about it? ”

Chen Anxiu frowned, he felt that Wei Lin's words were prickly, but he didn't deny it, "I don't know." Zhang Shinian didn't often mention his life abroad at home, the gap was too far, and it was like another world.

Wei Lin's mouth was mean, especially about Zhang Shinian, "Then what else do you know?" Zhilu said, how many trees do you plant on your one-third of an acre? Or how many diners does your snack bar have today? ”

This time it was Chen Anxiu's turn to laugh.

Wei Lin was inexplicably clever by his laughter, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Chen Anxiu pointed to his face, stared into his eyes and said, "Your appearance makes me feel that I have dug up your family's precious orchids as leeks." "Don't you just say that he occupies good things and doesn't know how to cherish and love them?

Wei Lin felt a pang in his heart, he was a smart person, smart people talk to each other, there are some things that don't need to be picked too clearly, he immediately realized that he had spoken over the line, Chen Anxiu was reminding him, whether it was a precious orchid or a leek, in short, it was not his family, what is the relationship between Chen Anxiu and the fourth uncle, Ji Junheng's own nephew has little room to speak, let alone him, especially Chen Anxiu's current identity, there is no need to be at the mercy of others, "Then I will praise your shit luck." ”

"It's not so much that I'm lucky as I have good eyesight. You know, luck isn't all accidental. ”

Wei Lin rolled his eyes at him without any image, "I finally realized that one of your advantages is your ...... The psychological quality is good enough. He originally wanted to say that he was thick-skinned, but in the end he changed to a euphemism.

*

After playing, Wei Lin proposed to take Ton Ton and Yue Ran to eat Italian food, Chen Anxiu and Zhang Shinian had something to do, so they didn't follow along, before parting, Chen Anxiu repeatedly instructed, "We are eight years old, and Ton Ton is only twelve years old, and the serious ones belong to the scope of children, don't take them to messy places." "Wei Lin's social circle is too mixed, so I really have to ask a few more words.

Wei Lin waved his hand casually and said, "Then you still need to say, it's not the first time I've taken my children out to play, I'm measured, I will definitely send people back before nine o'clock, and I will definitely not delay them to sleep at night." Chen Anxiu is really verbose, "If it's okay, let's go first, fourth uncle, let's get in the car first." ”

Zhang Shinian nodded, "Be careful when driving on the road." ”

Ton Ton and Yue Ran also poked their heads out of the car window and waved at them.

Seeing them leave, Chen Anxiu and Zhang Shinian also got in the car, "I saw you playing tennis for the first time today, and you played well." ”

"I used to practice for a while, but now I'm busy with work, and I only play occasionally." Today, I entertained a group of people, and played half an afternoon of ball, and Zhang Shinian had a faint burnout between his eyebrows at this time.

Chen Anxiu pulled him to lean on himself, and took a blanket to cover him, he wanted to ask if it would be too aggrieved to live with him on Green Island, the environment of Green Island was of course familiar and comfortable to him, but for Zhang Shinian, it didn't seem so convenient. But now that he is so tired, I don't want to bother him with these things, "There is still a distance to get home, you can sleep first." ”

Zhang Shinian closed his eyes and pillowed on his shoulder and asked softly, "Is it Wei Lin talking to you again?" "How sharp his mind is, Chen Anxiu's slightest emotional change can fall in his eyes.

"No, I'm just talking about it."

"Don't think about it, I've had a good two years." There are Anxiu, there are tons and tons, this is a complete home, he doesn't think there is anything wrong, the environment varies from person to person, "I promise you three years, it's better to worry about things in the future, it's better to take care of the present first." ”

He understood the tolerance that Zhang Shinian gave him, and he was a little excited and wanted to confess, three years later, no matter where you go, I will follow. The words had already reached his mouth, and it was a sore toothache, so what he said became, "Three years later, I should also have some family background, don't worry, I won't get rid of you when the time comes." ”

His words were a bit loud, and even Joe, who was sitting in the co-pilot, heard it clearly, and he held his glasses several times in a row to prevent the glasses on the bridge of his nose from slipping down. This Mr. Chen really dares to say anything.

Zhang Shinian laughed slowly, "Then do I want to thank you in advance?" ”

Chen Anxiu adjusted his posture to make him lean on the ground more comfortably, and thanked others without hindrance, "It's all a family, why be so polite." ”

Zhang Shinian stopped talking, holding Chen Anxiu's under the blanket with his hand, his eyebrows were calm, as if he was really asleep.

Chen Anxiu gave him a blanket again, and he closed his eyes to recuperate, but his heart was not so calm on the surface, about the future, he was not optimistic, he is Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, three years later, he is thirty-three years old, he has no education, and he does not have great ability, when the time comes, follow Zhang Shinian out, what can he do, too difficult work, he will definitely not be competent, do you want to go out to do manual work like before? He knew that this was impossible, so was he left cooking and taking care of the children? Dependent on the chapter to survive all year round, what he looks forward to every day is that he comes home from work? Can he really stick to that kind of life? How far can he and Zhang Shinian go?

Now no matter what, he opened a farmhouse, Taobao shop, raising chickens and pigs, he has planned, next year to expand the scale, in the future can do green planting base, do distribution, to open a store in the city, with his own diligence and hard work, take your time, within a few years, he will have a career of his own, certainly not as large as the territory of the chapter. He also knew that many people like Wei Lin didn't look down on him, thinking that he was poor and tossing, maybe the money he earned in a year of hard work was not enough to buy a watch in his hand, but it was developed by himself, ordinary people like them, who had a high enough platform waiting for him to choose from the beginning, who didn't come out step by step?

To leave is to give up all the efforts of these years and to face an unknowable future, to a new place, to start over. It's not that he doesn't have confidence in Zhang Shinian, he doesn't have confidence in himself.

But you can't be selfish, Zhang Shinian has been with him on Green Island for all these years, he can't ask Zhang Shinian to accompany him to live in Qiuli Town for the rest of his life, which is too unfair to Zhang Shinian. Now we can only take one step at a time.

The well-behaved car drove smoothly forward on the road, with a total of four people in the car, quiet but not even a sound, and the driver was affected by this, swallowing his saliva a little nervously, and focusing all his attention on the road ahead......

"It should be almost time for the sunny day to work." Zhang Shinian said coldly.

Chen Anxiu looked out of the car window and said, "Really, do you have clockwork in your head?" "I can estimate the approximate location with my eyes closed, "The car will stop in front of me, I'll go see Qingqing, you go back first, leave Mao Mao at home all day today, I'm afraid he won't see anyone crying when it's dark." ”

I have only been in Beijing for two days, and the environment is not very familiar, and I can't see familiar people after dark, and it is troublesome to cry. Zhang Shinian obviously understood this, so he didn't refuse his arrangement, "Then you have something to call, do you want the car to come and pick you up at night?" ”

"No need, I'll just take a taxi myself."

"The cake you packed for Tianqing." Zhang Shinian saw that he only cared about getting out of the car, and reminded him in time.

Chen Anxiu turned around and took the cake box, "Guang was in a hurry, I almost forgot about this stubble." And he said, "The portion in it is for the old lady." ”

"I've got it, I'll be back early in the evening."

"I know it, Daddy Zhang."

*

From about half past five, there were people coming out of work in the unit one after another, Chen Anxiu's patience was not bad, he waited until almost seven o'clock, and saw that many offices had lights out, and still didn't see his sister come out, he finally couldn't help but call over, "Qingqing, are you off work?" ”

"Not yet, big brother, what's wrong?"

As soon as Chen Anxiu heard the background voice over there, he knew that Lu Dao hadn't gotten off work yet, and finally Qingqing didn't lie at this point, "What time do you get off work, I'll wait for you at the door, let's go have a meal together after work, right?" ”

"Big brother, you ...... Where are you waiting for me? Chen Tianqing's voice sounded a little flustered.

"In your workplace, you can see me when you open the window, I'm standing at the door now, what floor are you on?"

Chen Tianqing was silent on the phone for a while, and finally said frankly, "Big brother, I resigned, and I don't work there anymore." ”

Chen Anxiu knew that Lu Dao had something to hide, and he didn't say anything to her, but only asked, "Then where are you now, I'll go over and take a look." ”

"The company is on the East Third Ring Road, which is quite far from the original unit, and it should be able to get off work at about half past eight." Chen Tianqing then honestly reported the address.

Chen Anxiu took a taxi over, Chen Tianqing hadn't gotten off work yet, he wasn't familiar with it here, and he didn't see a place to rest when he looked around, thinking that his sister might get off work, so he sat on the side of the road with a cake box, and waited for more than half an hour, and when Chen Tianqing finally got off work at nine o'clock, Chen Anxiu was about to freeze to death, the weather in Layue, Beijing had just snowed, and the temperature at night could be imagined. However, as soon as the person came out, he still saw it at first sight, and he waved his hand and said, "Qingqing's side." ”

Chen Tianqing saw him and ran over quickly with a big bag, "Big brother, why are you waiting outside?" It's so cold. ”

Chen Anxiu resisted the urge to stomp his feet back and forth, and pretended to be a troublemaker, "I also just arrived, and there was a traffic jam on the road, why did you just get off work and eat?" ”

Chen Tianqing knew that Brother Lu Dao came to her at that time, and he must not have eaten, "I ate a little, I will be hungry, let's find a place to eat." ”

Chen Anxiu showed her the cake box on the chair, "I brought you a cake, you will cushion your stomach later." He grabbed her sleeve and asked, "It's so cold, why don't you wear more and buy a new down jacket this year?" ”

Chen Tianqing's nose suddenly felt sour, working hard alone in other places, although there are many classmates and friends in Beijing, but after graduation, they all go their separate ways, that is, they stay in Beijing, because of various reasons for work and life, they can't meet from time to time, she joined the company not long ago, and the relationship between colleagues is not close, no one around her has long cared about whether she is cold or not, hungry or not, and only the closest people will notice these details.

"Big Brother ......"

"What's wrong? Is there not enough money? He listened to his sister's voice and was not quite right, the consumption here in Beijing is high, especially for my sister who has just graduated, the salary at the beginning is definitely not high, and she has to rent a house by herself, "I still have the money here, or was I trained by the unit leader?" ”

Chen Tianqing lowered her head and sniffed quietly, not wanting Chen Anxiu to see her reddened eyes, "No, I'm just a little hungry, let's go eat." "Big brother's coat is so cold, it's definitely not like he said he just came.

"Okay, what do you say to eat?"

"Let's eat hot pot, I know that there is a good hot pot restaurant in Ludao, and it should still be open at this time."

The hot pot restaurant is not here, they took a taxi and walked forward for a while to find it, there are still a lot of cars parked outside, and the store is really lively, but there is still a vacant seat, the brother and sister ordered two single pots, and asked for a lot of dishes, meat and stir-fry.

In the process of waiting for the dishes, Chen Anxiu shabu-shabu cup, poured the tea for the two, and cut out a piece of the cake he brought, Chen Tianqing ate a little something, and then said the original thing about his resignation and job change, and finally concluded, "I know that my parents have always wanted me to find a safe and stable job." "At that time, when my parents knew that he could stay in the government unit, I don't know how happy Lu Dao was." For this job, big brother, you also helped a lot. Let Guo Yuchen and his family come to apologize to Dao Lu in person, and also greeted the leader, he knew all this, "But I want to take advantage of my youth and come out by myself." After speaking, she raised her eyelids and cautiously glanced at Chen Anxiu opposite.

Chen Anxiu smiled and said, "What do I think is the matter, isn't it just a change of job?" You just graduated, you can change it if you want to, and choose more to know which one is suitable. "With Qingqing's education and ability, I don't worry about really not being able to find a job. But when it comes to greetings, he doesn't have this way, could it be that Zhang Shinian did it?

"So, big brother, you don't object?" She had been worried that she had resigned from such a stable job rashly, and it was still hard to get it, and there would definitely be no one at home to support her.

"You can figure it out for yourself." He didn't go to college, and he couldn't talk about this experience, and he always thought that his sister had a well-behaved personality and must like a stable and secure job, but now he is too arbitrary. Qingqing has been going to school outside alone for so many years, and it is such a good school, there must be a lot of talents around, and in that environment for a long time, Qingqing must have her vision and judgment, not just his sister who has not grown up in his heart, "But I slowly told my parents about this." "The older generation always thinks that only the work of the government department is the best, Qingqing can find that job, my parents are happy every time I mention it, stable and decent, and I don't have to worry about finding a partner in the future. Qingqing just resigned, and they definitely had to take some time to adjust.

Chen Tianqing cupped her cheeks and thought for a while, and then said, "Well, I know what I said." ”

"What about work now, how is it, what kind of unit is it?"

"It's a foreign company, the company is very good, there are brothers and sisters working here, and I can take care of it a little." She said the name of the company, but Chen Anxiu didn't know what to say, but listening to her tone should be a good job.

"Do you have to work overtime like this all the time? What do you do in a job? ”

"It's pretty early to get off work today. The last few months have been busy, with audits and tax stuff. ”

As long as it is a serious unit, Chen Anxiu will put a snack somehow, after the food is served, the brother and sister eat while talking, and at ten o'clock, Chen Anxiu will send the person back, but Chen Tianqing's work unit and residence are far away, and when he finally sends the person home safely, he will leave some money for his sister, and then return to Ji's house after twelve o'clock.

Zhang Shinian just took Mao Mao for a while, listened to him enter the door, and woke up again, "Did you encounter any trouble, why did you come back so late?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that Qingqing has changed jobs, you continue to sleep, and I'll talk to you tomorrow." Chen Anxiu went into the bathroom and rushed down briefly, then went to the next door to take a look, and then moved the Mao Mao who was sleeping on the big bed to his own crib, and then went to bed and turned off the light to sleep.

Two days later, Chen Anxiu took tons and Mao Mao to Lu Jiangyuan for a trip, but Lu Jiangyuan and Lin Changning were very busy, and the family only had dinner together, and the rest of the time, Chen Anxiu accompanied the two old men of the Ji family at home, he was used to making trouble, accompanying the old man to play chess and practice martial arts, moving flowers and pruning branches for the old lady, threading needles and threads, occasionally making two fresh dishes to try, driving the children out to play, making the family lively, even Yueran and Tao Tao grew here every day, and refused to go home.

But taking the child out is not all about playing, by the way to see the house, he wants to find a suitable house for his sister, Qingqing's company often has to work overtime, the residence is so far away, it is inconvenient to commute, go home alone at night, he is not at ease, he has a little money on hand, but it is enough to buy a house for Qingqing in Beijing, but it is still possible to rent a better condition. And listening to Qingqing also has the meaning of wanting to change places.

He didn't mention this to Zhang Shinian, because he felt that he should be able to handle it, after all, it was his sister's business, but one day when he was looking at the house outside, Ah Joe found him, "Mr. has an apartment here, more than 80 square meters, I haven't lived in it much, but it is fully furnished, and I am planning to rent it out." ”

There is such a coincidence in the world, only by believing in him can there be ghosts, but Chen Anxiu still followed Ah Joe to see the house, the conditions are really good, although it is only a one-bedroom, but the lighting of the bedroom is very good, the area of the living room, kitchen and bathroom are very large, and the security of the community and the surrounding supporting facilities are also good.

"Mr. said that this is his own house, and it is a pity that it is empty."

Chen Anxiu then made up her mind to take the children to help Chen Tianqing move things on the weekend, Chen Tianqing was surprised by his speed, but she found a house with the right price and location in three days, but when she saw the house, she was dumbfounded, "Big brother, is this here?" How much is it a month? "She's not an ignorant girl, and the rent for a house like this is higher than her salary every month.

Chen Anxiu was afraid that she would not be comfortable living in the place, so he said, "This is the house of a friend of the fourth brother, and the friendship price given is much cheaper than the market price outside. ”

Chen Tianqing knew Lu Daozhang's ability at that time, and did not doubt him, so he clenched his fists happily and said, "I will clean up the house, and I won't embarrass you and Brother Zhang." ”

"You can just live there, don't think about the rest."

Chen Tianqing kicked off her shoes, walked around happily twice on the wooden floor with her bare feet, opened all the curtains, and wrung a rag to wipe the tables, chairs and benches. A group of people were busy from the morning to lunch, and then rearranged the place, and it looked like a comfortable little home, and the more Chen Tianqing looked at it, the more he liked it. Lunch was a little late, it was almost a little faster when eating, called takeaway, Chen Anxiu cooked a big porridge with green vegetables and lean meat, and the children rushed to get bowls and chopsticks, today the sun is very full, and the laughter of children can be heard everywhere in the house.

However, before he sat down and ate a few mouthfuls of porridge, he received a phone call, which was from a sugar ball, and his voice was quite bitter, "Ton Ton, are you and Uncle Xiao Chen still in Beijing?" When will you be back? ”

Tons of spoons stirred the porridge in the bowl, "It's going to be a few days, what's wrong?" ”

Sugar Ball lay on the sofa, closed it and opened the book in front of him, "No one plays, it's a little boring." ”

"You didn't go out to find your classmates?" Sugar Ball is not a person who can sit at home, he has many friends, and he can find a large group of friends to play with every holiday.

Candyball looked sideways at the candy he was sitting in the living room quietly fiddling with toys, "It's gone." He let out a long sigh and said, "I'll tell you more about it when I get back." "Candy is accompanied by the little aunt at home on weekdays, and he doesn't go out much, even if he goes out, he goes to the nearby supermarket to buy something, and now as soon as he has a holiday, the candy sticks to him. Like pleasing him, he dragged the toys at home to him one by one every day, and wanted to play with him, and when he didn't want to move, the candy would sit there and play by himself, and he wouldn't make any noise. But as long as he wants to go out, Candy must follow him upside down.

I really can't help it, the day before yesterday I took it to the same school to play, I went to five or six people at the time, and I remember playing games in a room, and I don't know who thinks that candy is in the way on the side, so he quietly locked the candy in the kitchen, and when he turned around and found that the candy was gone, when he found the kitchen, the candy banged on the door, and his voice was hoarse, and he had a hard fight with those people, and completely fell out.

"Well, then I'll call you when I get back."

"Okay, let's do that first." Sugar Ball hung up the phone and lay on the couch not wanting to move.

Candy didn't know what Lu Dao thought, he saw that his brother was still there, so he came over with a big rooster in his arms, and stood still next to the sofa, with no expression on his face, and he didn't speak, so he hugged the rooster's head and touched his brother's head.

Sugar Ball didn't want to take care of him, he played at home with a two-year-old child for a week, it was really a little boring, but he couldn't stand the candy and didn't give up, and there was a rooster under his head, he took it out sideways, touched the rooster head of the candy, "twitter......"

Candy touched him again.

He touched the candy again, "Twitter......"

Candy touched him again.

Back and forth ten times, Candy is not annoying at all, as long as someone plays with him, he is happy.

But Sugar Ball wants to look up to the sky and sigh, what is the point of this game? In the good time, why did he want to do this here, but seeing the smile on Candy's face, he continued resignedly, "Twitter......"

The author has something to say: this time it is a little longer
