Chapter 31: Halo

"Hmm, by the way, what about the customer service girl? Why didn't you see her? "The school will have an early class every Friday afternoon, Chen Lan got home less than half past five, it stands to reason that the customer service sister should not have gotten off work at this time, but Chen Lan didn't see the customer service sister after she got home, and she didn't even turn on the computer she used.

Chen's father put down his reading glasses, "What kind of customer service girl, they are three years older than you." ”

"Okay, why isn't Sister Zheng here?" The customer service sister was originally named Zheng Jie, it doesn't matter if she is called Sister Zheng and Zheng Jie, they are all homophonic anyway.

"She took an afternoon off." Chen's father reached out and pounded his waist, and it was tiring enough to sit in front of the computer for an afternoon, but compared to driving a car for a day, this tiring was nothing.

After Chen Lan finished eating the rice noodles, she went over to beat Chen's father on the back, "Dad, don't you want to hire a customer service anymore, my mother's women's clothing store and your men's clothing store will have a customer service separately, so you don't have to be so tired, and you don't type fast, isn't it better to be the boss?" ”

Father Chen hesitated and said, "The Taobao store has just opened, and the money earned in a day is not enough for a fraction of what your mother earns...... Isn't it right to hire customer service now? ”

"Dad, you just let Mom raise you first, and when the Taobao store is on the right track, the two of you will hand over the store to a special person to manage, isn't it okay to be leisurely every day?" Chen Lan has always had an idea, that is, to turn the Taobao store into a studio, and ask someone to manage it in the future, so that parents don't have to be so tired.

Father Chen smiled happily, "Okay, this kind of life, I really didn't dare to imagine it before." ”

The building was not very soundproof, and as soon as Chen's father's words fell, he heard heavy footsteps from the stairs, and Chen's father guessed, "It should be your mother who has returned." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps stop at the door, followed by the sound of the key opening the security door.

Mother Chen opened the door, Gu Jiayan trotted in, saw Chen Lan there, and shouted in a small voice, "Fat aunt." ”

Chen Lan is no longer able to get angry, so the fat aunt will be the fat aunt.

Stumble! In fact, she's not fat at all, okay!

Baby, can we change the name?

Chen's mother walked to the kitchen and looked, "Huh? Who ate the rice noodles I just fried? ”

Chen Lan raised his hand weakly, "I'll eat it." ”

"Just eat it, and I want to keep it for Dandan." Chen's mother put on an apron and prepared to fry another rice noodle for Gu Jiayan.

Chen Lan was very resentful, she hadn't been home for a week, and she felt that her status at home was not even as good as that of a little bastard.

Soon after dinner, Chen's mother took a bath for Gu Jiayan, wrapped him in a big towel and came out to dress him.

Gu Jiayan was so sleepy that he yawned, Chen's mother picked up the person and walked to the room, Chen Lan hurriedly said: "Mom, let Dan Dan sleep with me tonight, it's not good for your health to play the floor often, don't let Dad play the floor again." ”

Chen's mother asked Gu Jiayan, "Do you want to sleep with your aunt?" ”

Gu Jiayan nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

Chen's mother then carried Gu Jiayan to Chen Lan's room, in the golden autumn of October, it was cooler in the morning and evening, Chen's mother covered Gu Jiayan with a thin quilt, and watched him fall asleep before leaving.

"Have you started the National Day this week?" Mother Chen asked in a soft voice.

Chen Lan typed into the computer, "Well, the day after tomorrow Sunday is the first day, we will start the holiday this Friday and go back to make up classes next Friday." ”

"Then let's go back to Chenjia Village with your dad tomorrow, your grandma called back today and said that she was not feeling well in the past few days and wanted to go to the hospital for examination." Chen's mother said.

Not feeling well? It's impossible, the old lady is in good health, until the year she was reborn and came back, and I heard that the old lady could still grow vegetables in the field, and she didn't have this in her previous life. "Mom, old ...... Uh, did grandma say something uncomfortable? ”

Chen's mother hit the nail on the head and said, "I guess it's uncomfortable." ”

Mom, you'...... The corners of Chen Lan's mouth twitched, as if her mother had become more and more incisive since she learned to read gossip on a certain forum on the Internet.

"Don't worry about so many children, look at your dad when the time comes, don't let your grandma and uncle bully him, I have to go to the hospital to take care of your cousin, I don't have time to go back."

"Guaranteed to get the job done." Chen Lan gave a nondescript military salute.

After taking a bath and preparing to sleep, but seeing Gu Jiayan's limbs spread wide and her mouth watering from her mouth, Chen Lan's head hurt, she has been sleeping alone since she was a child, except for the days when she returned to Chenjia Village during the Chinese New Year, when there were not enough rooms and she could only sleep with a family, Chen Lan had never tried to sleep with others.

Chen Lan flicked Gu Jiayan's hands and feet, adjusted his sleeping position, and then carefully lay down next to him. Chen Lan's bed is a single bed, not much bigger than the bed in the dormitory, two adults may not be able to sleep together, sleeping with a child is just enough to lie down, Gu Jiayan sleeps inside, and there is no need to be afraid that he will fall under the bed.

In fact, Chen Lan was still too optimistic, and as soon as he fell asleep, Gu Jiayan kicked over, although it didn't hurt too much, and it also scared Chen Lan awake.

Chen Lan took a few deep breaths, wiped his face, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

When I was dazed, I remembered that my mother said that I wanted the little bastard to cover the quilt, Chen Lan reached out and touched Gu Jiayan's little belly, the quilt didn't know when he kicked it under the bed, Chen Lan found the quilt that fell on the ground, shook it, and covered Gu Jiayan.

In the middle of the night, he was kicked awake by Gu Jiayan again, Chen Lan lost all his temper, turned around and continued to sleep.

finally stayed up until dawn, Chen's mother saw Chen Lan coming out with dark circles under her eyes, and asked with concern: "Did Dan Dan wet the bed last night?" ”

Chen Lan said quietly: "You just care about your eggs, you don't feel sorry for me, I was just kicked by the little bastard last night, and I remember to cover him with a quilt in the middle of the night, Mom, it's so tiring to take the child." ”

Chen's mother smiled and said, "I'm tired now, and it won't be even harder to have children in the future." ”

Chen Lan snorted, "I won't have children if I am killed in the future." ”

Mother Chen listened to it as a joke, smiled and passed.

Chen's father and Chen Lan had lunch before taking the bus back to Chenjia Village, getting off at the intersection of Chenjia Village, and walking for half an hour to reach the uncle's house.

This time, the eldest aunt's attitude towards the two was not as enthusiastic as last time, she poured a glass of water for the two without smiling, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and sat and watched TV, leaving the two directly aside.

Father Chen couldn't sit still after sitting for a while, and asked his aunt, "Sister-in-law, how is my mother now?" ”

The eldest aunt spit out a mouthful of melon seed shells and wrote lightly: "I live in the hospital." ”

Chen Lan was surprised, is she really sick?

Chen's father anxiously asked, "Which hospital?" Did the doctor say what the disease was? ”

"Who knows what kind of illness she is, yesterday she suddenly said that she was not feeling well, and asked Dalong to send her to the hospital for examination early this morning." The eldest aunt said impatiently.

Yesterday? Chen Lan remembered that her mother said that the old lady was not feeling well a few days ago, and it seemed that it was another Hongmen banquet, and this time she pretended to be sick, and the target should be her father.

Chen Lan couldn't remind Father Chen of anything, the old lady was his mother after all, and she was still the granddaughter of the old lady, in order to make Father Chen happy, even if she hated the old lady again, she had to pretend to respect her on the surface, so Chen Lan could only secretly hope that the old lady wouldn't toss Father Chen too much this time.

The father and daughter went to the hospital and met the old lady who was "sick in bed". The wife had a ruddy complexion and spoke with a lot of energy, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't look like she was sick, and I don't know how she was successfully hospitalized.

Seeing Chen's father coming, the uncle had a bitter face, "Xiaohu, Mom has been talking about you." ”

Chen Lan secretly said badly, and sure enough, Chen's father's eyes were slightly red after saying this, and he walked to the old lady's hospital bed and shouted "Mom" in a low voice.

The old lady said in a weak voice: "It's Xiaohu who is back......"

"Mom, are you okay?" Father Chen turned his head and asked the uncle, "Did you get the results?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that a few days ago, I heard the village head say that you resigned, I always feel uncomfortable in my heart, what can you do if you don't have a job, Lan Lan just went to high school, and yesterday I heard that Aqing's niece had an accident, and the store was not open, and both of you and your husband lost their jobs...... Alas, I regret it when I think of this, I knew that it would have been better for you to stay at home and farm......" The old lady burst into tears when she said this.

Chen Lan sighed, Mom, it's not that she doesn't give her strength, but the other party's number of paragraphs is too high, and she didn't have a chance to interject at all.

Father Chen immediately explained the matter, "Mom, I and A-Qing are doing business on our own now, don't worry." ”

"Doing business?!" The old lady looked incredulous, "Where did you get the money to do business?" ”

Father Chen couldn't explain to the old lady about opening an online store, if Lan Lan hadn't explained it to him, he wouldn't have understood what an online store was, let alone making money online, which felt too fake when he heard it.

Therefore, Chen's father was hesitant and "borrowed some money from others to do business." ”

The old lady frowned, "Who did you borrow money from?" I heard Dachao say, you're still ready to buy a house, what's going on?! ”

Dachao at the head of Chenjiacun village has a distant relative, driving in the same company as Chen's father, Chen's father only told his colleagues who usually have a good relationship to buy a house, and then I don't know how to spread it, Dachao's distant relatives heard about it, so they went to gossip with Dachao, and then Dachao ran to ask the old lady if it was true.

How did the old lady know about this, so she immediately denied it, what is Father Chen's ability, how can the old lady not know, if he wants to have the ability to buy a house, he would have bought it a long time ago, but seeing that Dachao said that he has eyes and nose, the old lady also began to wonder if this thing is true? So in order to trick Chen's father into coming back, the old lady staged another bitter trick.

"I saved money with Ah Qing to buy a house, and then borrowed some money from Lan Lan's uncle, which was just enough for a down payment, and I only needed to pay more than 1,000 mortgages every month." If an honest person tells a lie, it can make people believe it even more, and Chen's father is not red and his heart is not beating, so that Chen Lan almost believes it.

When I went to see the house last week, Chen Lan explained to Chen's father and Chen's mother what a mortgage is, both of them have no social security, and there is no property that can be mortgaged, it is impossible to take out a loan to buy a house, but the old lady doesn't know this, so the old lady was stunned when she heard it.

"Alright, alright." The old lady couldn't help but be annoyed, waved her hand and said, "I'm tired and want to sleep for a while, so you can go back first." ”

This...... Where are they going? Chen Lan didn't want to go back to her uncle's house, especially when there was a Chen Yuan who always couldn't get along with her.

Chen's father also felt that something was wrong, and said tentatively: "Mom, I went back to City A with Lan Lan, and the business in the store was busy, so I couldn't leave." ”

The old lady opened her eyes suddenly, and said in an unkind tone: "Isn't A-Qing unemployed?" Just let her look at it in the store, I haven't seen you for so long, and now I'm worried that you're still hospitalized, is that how you repay me? ”

Father Chen was anxious, "Mom, I didn't mean that. ”

"I don't bother to care what you mean, I haven't been consulted on such a big thing as buying a house, have you still treated me as your mother......" The old lady's love became more and more intense, she couldn't breathe all of a sudden, and she fainted when she rolled her eyes.
