14. Save the beauty?
Chapter 14 Saving Beauty?
As soon as Lu Ze opened his mouth, he couldn't stop and went out, and suddenly the atmosphere became cold and embarrassing. It just so happened that Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao came back in time, and Grandma Zhao played a round after figuring out the situation, "It's a rare gathering for the New Year, forget it." The two of you live in one room, let Haohao live with his grandfather, and let Xuanxuan come and live with me. ”
Every time Grandma Zhao mentioned the words "a rare gathering for the New Year", Lu Ze was mostly silent and endured, and this time was no exception, so he went upstairs alone. Grandpa Zhao shook his head and sighed, the youngest daughter has left, Lu Ze is also pitiful alone, but the eldest daughter is also their only daughter, the palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, what can they do.
When it was time to go to the New Year's dinner, Lu Ze and Qiao Qiao finally emerged from their rooms. A group of ten people went to the booked hotel, and it was finally no longer Gao Mingxuan alone during the banquet, Gao's mother was also a lively person, asking in the east and chatting in the west, matching two pairs of young people. Because it was the New Year, not only Gao Minghao drank a lot, but the old people also drank some red wine to help the fun, staring at a table with hot eyes, the juniors said with emotion, I want to watch the juniors get married and have children as soon as possible, hug the fourth generation, and the family is lively.
Lu Ze and Qiao Qiao were in charge of driving, and they were the only two people who didn't drink on the field, eating with their mouths firmly closed, and resolutely refused to answer the words.
Gao Mingxuan, who had been touching the nail for many days, hugged Gao's mother and coquettishly, Gao's mother comforted her with a smile: "It's okay, we're here, let's accompany the old man, you four young people go out to play more." ”
Qiao Qiao secretly complained in her heart, thinking that you are quite following the trend and arranging a date for four.
Gao Minghao drank a few glasses of wine, and began to laugh at Qiao Qiao, he had a good impression of Qiao Qiao, and felt that she generally met his requirements, but he also felt that Qiao Qiao was not 100% compliant, especially when he changed rooms in the afternoon, he didn't give face and was not docile enough. Pretty is beautiful, but I don't apply fat powder when I meet several times, which doesn't seem to be paid enough attention. As for the figure, it also belongs to the healthy and well-proportioned type, and he prefers the special skinny type that is now mainstream.
Gao Minghao smiled and teased Qiao Qiao: "Hey, Sister Qiao, you eat so much, look at Xuanxuan, I think it's okay for women to be skinny." ”
Qiao Qiao smiled and didn't talk, even when she was still working, she maintained the frequency of exercising at least twice a week, otherwise how could she survive five or six years of high-intensity work. She doesn't bother to care what Gao Minghao thinks, in her eyes, what kind of figure women love to maintain is for their own happiness and health, foodies eat more and exercise more, love beauty eat less and exercise more, no matter what you like.
Seeing that Qiao Qiao didn't answer, Gao Minghao, who was a little drunk, was energetic, and pointed: "Let me tell you, a good woman is not more than a hundred, your height is more suitable to keep around 90 pounds, haven't you heard of it?" If a woman can't even control her mouth, what else can she control! ”
Qiao Qiao glanced at him with a smile, she was just relatively peaceful in life, used to maintaining the disguise of a social person, and didn't like to be embarrassed, did you really think she was not good at words? Qiao Qiao replied slowly: "I control my own brain and keep learning new knowledge, I control my own hands and only spend the money I earn, I control my eyes and don't see things that shouldn't be seen, I control my mouth and don't evaluate other people's lives." Qiao Qiao replied with a calm smile, "Do you need anything for me to control?" ”
Qiao Qiao said this as if he was talking about himself, but he poked Gao Minghao's sore feet with needles hidden everywhere, choking his face to change.
"Hey, it's a good thing to eat more for the New Year, Qiaoqiao eats more! It's a blessing to be able to eat! "There is never a shortage of reunion dinners, and the most important thing is that the scene is harmonious and lively, so Qiaoqiao smiled and didn't speak, and continued to eat.
It was not interesting to please Qiao Qiao here, so Gao Minghao and his father drank a lot of liquor.
A Chinese New Year's Eve meal was talking, laughing, eating and drinking, and it was not until nearly nine o'clock in the evening that the banquet was dispersed, and Qiao Qiao got up to pay. Lu Ze's prepaid money is placed here by her, and she is usually responsible for settling the bill when she goes out.
Qiao Qiao took the bill from the waiter's hand and quickly glanced at it one by one, and planned to hand it to the front desk to swipe the card if there was no problem, but Lu Ze, who came out from behind, gently grabbed her wrist.
Qiao Qiao was wearing a long-sleeved jacket, and Lu Ze was just letting go with a slight pull, she looked back at Lu Ze and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Lu Ze took out the bill in her hand and responded, "I'll come." ”
Since Qiao Qiao and Lu Ze mentioned paying the bill in City B before, Lu Ze has never had this embarrassing move of rushing to pay for the vacation at the beach during this time, and today is the first time. But Jojo only had to think about it for a moment to know why he did it. Because today's bill is large, and most of it is alcohol.
Lu Ze whispered to Qiao Qiao while swiping the card to sign the order: "Don't forget about this one." "He sees many subtle things that Jojo does. Because the money is placed on Qiao Qiao's side, even if Lu Ze never asks how to spend it, Qiao Qiao still publishes a record of the expenses and apportionment table of the day's settlement every night and sends it to Lu Ze's mailbox.
There are even many thoughtful and considerate small details in it, such as that she is afraid that Lu Ze will be embarrassed to take the initiative to check the accounts, and the detailed vouchers listed in it are all available. For example, she has never shared it on a per capita basis, for example, the fare is divided equally on a one-to-one basis, because she feels that although there are few people on her side, even if Lu Ze's family does not come, she has to rent a car.
Although Qiao Qiao knew that Lu Ze didn't care about the money, she didn't want to take advantage of Lu Ze.
Although Lu Ze didn't mention that he noticed these things Qiao Qiao did, he also remembered them in his heart.
This time, since Lu Ze took the initiative to buy the order, Qiao Qiao also accepted this favor, and no longer argued about rushing to pay.
Out of the hotel, the slight sea breeze blew, blowing away the faint wine around him, Qiaoqiao couldn't help but stretch his waist, so that the weather with only a thin coat and a warm winter seaside night was really leisurely and comfortable.
The car key of the SUV that was rented in the afternoon was hanging on Qiaoqiao's left index finger, and while Qiaoqiao stretched out his hand to stretch his defenselessness, Gao Minghao, who had drunk a little too much, also stretched out his hand and touched the car key along her fingers. He even took the opportunity to touch the back of her palm, and laughed with a smile full of alcohol: "Sister Qiao has worked hard, I'll drive." I've wanted to drive this SUV for a long time. ”
Qiao Qiao's face suddenly turned cold, and he shouted at Gao Minghao: "Gao Minghao! What are you doing! What kind of car did you drink and drive! Jojo knew that she couldn't reason with someone who drank too much, but she couldn't go over and grab the keys with a drunk man.
"Sister Qiao, don't be afraid, it's so late, it's out of town and the New Year, there are few cars on the road, how can there be a police ......" Gao Minghao's words didn't have time to finish, but Lu Ze, who was already planning to get in the car, saw this scene, slammed the car door slammed shut, Lu Ze took two steps over, and with a long hand, he pulled Gao Minghao's back collar and almost lifted him off the ground.
"Lu Ze! What are you doing for the New Year! Loosen up Haohao! Gao's mother, who was already sitting in the back seat, saw this scene and shouted, for fear that her son, who had drunk too much, would be caught by Lu Ze.
Lu Ze snatched the car key with the force that almost broke Gao Minghao's fingers, returned it to Qiao Qiao, and said in a deep voice: "You take the old man back first, and I'll deal with it here." ”
Gao Minghao's fingers hurt so much that his whole body arched, and he woke up more than half of the wine, he felt that his fingers must have been broken! But the person was still carried by Lu Ze in his hand, so anxious that Gao's mother hurriedly rushed out of the car, and scolded repeatedly: "Can't you talk well during the New Year?" What a hand! I don't want people to celebrate the New Year! ”
This made everyone get out of the car, and Gao's father also nervously surrounded him, trying to pull his son out of Lu Ze's hands but failed.
Grandma Zhao sighed beside her and wanted to go up to persuade her, but Lu Ze only listened to the words of the old couple, but was stopped by Grandpa Zhao, who frowned and didn't speak. Although they didn't see Gao Minghao sneaking a handful of Qiaoqiao's hand, they still heard what they said in the car.
Grandpa Zhao is not as soft-hearted as his wife, this is really the eldest grandson who is not sensible, and the eldest daughter keeps saying that the New Year is the big New Year, but why does he have to drink and grab the keys to drive after the New Year? Pretending to be crazy with alcohol? Where do you poke when others hurt?
Although Grandma Zhao didn't speak, seeing her embarrassed look, Lu Ze still let go of Gao Minghao's back collar, walked over and opened the door of the car he opened, took out a pack of wet wipes from the storage box next to the driver's seat, and handed it to Qiao Qiao to wipe his hands.
Then Lu Ze changed the 7-seater car key in his hand with Qiaoqiao's, and whispered to Qiaoqiao: "You take them home first." Then he turned back to comfort Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao, "I'll take him to the hospital." You go back with Jojo first. ”
Grandpa Zhao, who usually sleeps at nine o'clock, felt that he was really tired today, and patted his wife's hand, "Okay, let's go back first." ”
Gao Mingxuan looked left and right, and felt that Lu Ze's current face was so cold that it made people shudder, so he decided to follow Qiao Qiao home and abandon his cousin who was still holding his fingers and wailing.
When Qiaoqiao's car left, Lu Ze pulled the car door and said coldly: "If you don't go to the hospital, you can go back by yourself." ”
Seeing that Lu Ze really didn't care what they meant, the dissatisfied father and mother Gao helped their son to the back seat.
The New Year's dinner was unhappily parted, and there was silence behind Qiaoqiao when he drove, and there was nothing but sighing. Grandparents didn't have anything to say about other people's affairs, Gao Mingxuan silently lowered her head and played with her mobile phone.
Grandma Zhao couldn't help wiping her tears, when the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, she always thought about just these two grandsons over the years, and wanted the two brothers to support each other, why did it always make trouble.
Grandpa Zhao patted her on the back and persuaded: "Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren." They can live whatever they want, and we can't care about it anymore when we're old. ”
Qiao Qiao thought so, and gave a thumbs up to Grandpa Zhao who saw it, always pulling a big family together, why bother. You must know that Qiaoqiao has always been reluctant to get married, and one of the main reasons is that he is particularly impatient to deal with the seven aunts and eight aunts, not to mention that after getting married, there are so many relatives on both sides. If it weren't for the fact that her grandparents were still there, Qiaoqiao felt that it would not be a very miserable thing to celebrate the New Year alone, in short, it would be better than running to relatives every day.
And after such a fuss at night, Qiao Qiao also found a big benefit, and his grandparents didn't look down on Gao Minghao anymore, thank God.
Until Qiaoqiao was about to sleep, Lu Ze hadn't come back yet. When Qiao Qiao took off her coat before going to bed, she found that there was still something in her pocket, and when she felt it out, it turned out to be the pack of wet wipes that Lu Ze handed her to wipe her hands.
Qiao Qiao smiled and put the wet tissue on the desk, Lu Ze was cold and cold, and he was still very careful.
