Chapter 8 Re-encounters with Lu Ze

Hearing the other party call her Jiang Qiao, Qiao Qiao fixed her eyes, the customer opposite was a woman in her forties who was carrying vegetables in her hand, Qiao Qiao searched in her mind a little, and had no impression, could it be a neighbor when she was a child?

"Hello, who are you?" Jojo responded with a polite smile.

"I'm Teacher Zhang in the class next door to your elementary school." Teacher Zhang laughed.

It turned out to be the teacher in the class next door, no wonder Qiao Qiao had no impression, although Qiao Qiao was a little curious about how the teacher could remember a child in the next class, but she didn't ask, just smiled and replied: "Teacher Zhang is good." ”

Teacher Zhang seemed to know what Qiaoqiao was thinking, and patted Qiaoqiao's shoulder affectionately, "I just graduated and became a teacher for the first time that year, and I was deeply impressed by you. ”

Qiao Qiao shook his hand modestly, "That's elementary school, the content is simple." ”

"It's been more than 20 years in a blink of an eye!" Teacher Zhang sighed, "Jiang Qiao, you have grown so big." I still remember when you cried and ran to the office to complain, saying that the boys in the class always made fun of your name Jiangdong Daqiao or Jiangdong Xiaoqiao, and pulled your braids, and your beautiful eyes were red from crying. ”

"At that time, I was young, teacher, you just call me Qiaoqiao." Those long pasts, in fact, Qiaoqiao rarely remembers. She has long said goodbye, those who cried and sued when they were bullied.

The two chatted a few more words, and when Mr. Zhang saw that the mobile phone Qiao Qiao was holding in his hand rang, he also wished each other a happy New Year. Jojo picked up the phone and it was just a sales call, and hung up and went home.

After eating the roasted sweet potatoes for breakfast, Qiaoqiao returned to his house on the third floor, took out the gifts for his relatives from the suitcase, and followed the aroma of pork rib soup and went downstairs. On the second floor, the door to the door lived was her grandparents and aunts, Qiao Qiao wanted to buy a suite in City A, and it happened that the suite upstairs of her grandparents was going to be sold, so she simply bought it. Anyway, she usually lives once a year, which also saves someone upstairs from having heavy footsteps and arguing for her grandparents to sleep at night, and the elderly don't sleep well.

As soon as he knocked on the door, Qiao Qiao hugged the grandmother who came to open the door and then slapped one on the face, "Grandma~ I want to kill you~"

Grandma smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed, and she touched Qiaoqiao's face, "Didn't you say that you slept until twelve o'clock?" Came down so early. If you want me, come back, come back and find an easier job, your job is so tiring and it's not good, why do girls make so much money? I'll introduce you to someone when I'm back......"

Hearing this, Qiao Qiao quickly let go of the hand holding her grandmother and threw herself at her grandfather, "Grandpa~I want to kill you~"

Grandma still followed behind and continued to read while closing the door, "Your grandfather and I had morning exercises in the park, and we met several people, and there is a blind date at home that is just the right age......"

"Oh, my uncle and aunt are also here, I want to kill you~" Qiaoqiao hugged one by one.

"There are also a few brand partners, and there are ...... of the right age in the family," Grandma followed.

"Oh, Aunt Zhang, I want to kill you! Upstairs, you can smell the aroma of pork rib soup! Jojo continued to play and try to avoid the topic.

Several old friends also said that they would help each other at home...... "But grandma pressed forward step by step."

Jojo went in and out of his left ear and began to distribute the gifts he had brought back, finally diverting his grandmother's attention. Grandma muttered while packing up the gifts, "Hey, Qiaoqiao, you just need to come back, and it's not easy to make some money with any gifts." As a result, as soon as he turned around, Qiao Qiao's two thick red envelopes were stuffed into the arms of his grandparents again.

My grandparents pinched the thickness, and these were two big red envelopes that were both over five figures, and the two refused to accept them. Although my grandfather didn't talk much, he also kept up with my grandmother's rhythm at the moment, "Red envelope Qiaoqiao, you keep it for yourself to save your dowry." ”

Seeing Qiaoqiao's collapsed expression, his uncle smiled and came out to play a round, "Okay, okay, Qiaoqiao just came back, parents, don't force her to go on a blind date." Why don't you get a bowl of soup and drink it first! ”

Aunt Zhang served Qiao Qiao a bowl of pork rib soup, Qiao Qiao said thank you, took it and sat down at the table and started to drink, and his uncle also sat next to him. "Qiaoqiao, my uncle has something to tell you. This year's Chinese New Year, your aunt and I plan to go to Australia to see your cousin Qiao Xuan, about ten days before and after the Chinese New Year. Aunt Zhang, you know, you have to go back to your hometown for a month every year for the Chinese New Year. So this year's Spring Festival may be just you and your grandparents at home. You don't know how to cook, and your grandmother is also old, if you still have to invite relatives to come over for dinner during the Chinese New Year, or your uncle will order you a New Year's dinner in a restaurant outside? ……”

The uncle shut down, because when his aunt heard that he was going to pay for the New Year's dinner outside, she kicked him directly under the table. Grandparents are not only children, in previous years, the Spring Festival dinner that relatives gathered is about 30 people, every time just buy vegetables to prepare for cooking and clean up have to be busy for two days, if you go out to order the New Year's dinner, it must be thousands of yuan.

Qiao Qiao paused slightly when she heard this, looked into the kitchen, and asked, "Aunt Zhang, when will you go back to your hometown this year?" Aunt Zhang wiped her hands on her apron, brought out two plates of cold dishes, and replied, "Ten days before the year, twenty days after the year." Shooting cucumbers and cold salad green bamboo shoots are Qiaoqiao's favorite food, Qiaoqiao happily took it, "Thank you, Aunt Zhang, I will come back once a year, it's rare that you still remember my favorite dishes." ”

Aunt Zhang smiled and waved her hand, and went back to the kitchen to prepare lunch. She can remember Jojo's preferences, partly because her salary is all paid by Jojo. Just now Qiaoqiao's grandmother asked Qiaoqiao to come back to City A to change to an easier job, Aunt Zhang could only smile and shake her head when she heard this, if it weren't for Qiaoqiao, where could this ordinary salaryman of Qiao's family live such a comfortable life.

If Qiaoqiao comes back to City A, a second-tier city, to find an easy job, then she may not be able to pay Aunt Zhang's salary. Aunt Zhang has been in Qiao's house for more than three years, and many neighbors are envious of how Qiao's family can find such a good and cheap aunt, who cooks well and is capable of housework, and also has two door-to-door mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and only 2,500 yuan a month, and there are many people who come to add money to poach in private.

But that's actually just Qiao Qiao's words to comfort her grandparents, Aunt Zhang is now a monthly package of 5,000 yuan to get a monthly salary, and the ordinary white-collar workers in City A have so much. It's just that Qiao Qiao was afraid that her grandparents would feel sorry for the money and had to work hard to do housework by herself, so she lied about Aunt Zhang's salary.

On the other hand, she also likes Jojo as a girl. Even if she is an aunt at home, Qiaoqiao never commands and always politely says thank you. I feel sorry for the elders and filial piety, although Qiaoqiao comes back less, but he always has a smiling face and a polite look, which makes people feel comfortable when he looks at it.

At the dinner table, Qiao Qiao groaned while drinking soup, thinking that he was "laid off", he took a large amount of compensation, and the time was finally free, otherwise this Spring Festival would simply take his grandparents to the beach for a warm winter. Liang Wei, who co-opened a training school with her, plans to open a second branch in her hometown of H City, and she often hears Liang Wei say that H City is warm in winter, but because there is no high-quality beach, it is not as crowded and expensive as tourist resorts, and it is not expensive to take the elderly to live for a long time.

Qiao Qiao said this idea, and sure enough, the first thing her grandparents worried about was spending money. Going to the beach for a month sounds like it costs money. Qiao Qiao opened his eyes and said nonsense, "There are a lot of year-end bonuses this year, a friend of mine also knows acquaintances over there, and the price can be cheap to rent a villa by the sea for a long month, so I will take you out for a trip!" ”

Grandpa frowned, "Isn't it often said on the TV news lately that the economy is not good?" Layoffs are happening everywhere. How much do you pay out year-end bonuses? Jojo's nonsense came as soon as he opened his mouth, "Well, I've been working for five years, and I have an extra year-end bonus this year." And I was busy in the past few years, and it was useless to save up many years of leave, so I just used it up for the Chinese New Year this year. ”

Ahem, as for the extra year-end bonus, it is actually a layoff compensation, and the extra vacation is actually a naked rest, so don't sue the old people, so they don't have to worry.

Qiao Qiao said so badly, persuaded all the way until lunch, and her grandparents finally nodded. After lunch, grandparents usually used to take a nap and then go to the chess and card room to play mahjong in the afternoon. But today, grandma was unusual, after lunch, she took Qiaoqiao's hand and sat down on the sofa, looking serious and about to start chattering, so frightened that Qiaoqiao hurriedly pushed her grandmother into the bedroom, saying that she was going to work out in the afternoon and ran out of the door.

Qiao Qiao, who rarely empties his brain and has time to exercise, received a call from his grandmother before dinner, saying that he would go out to eat at night, and Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao received a large number of nutritional products that Qiao Qiao brought back from abroad because he wanted to repay the favor, and Zhang Luo wanted to treat him. Qiaoqiao has a headache, and human affection comes and goes, and there is really no end.

Grandma added by the way that Grandma Zhao's family was also very interested in going to the beach for a warm winter and wanted to go together......

After listening to it, Qiaoqiao said "ah......", a little reluctant, and went to the beach to live together for a whole month? Since the last contact, she has probably not had any communication with Lu Ze for more than two months, and the old people haven't given up yet? But others took their grandparents out to play before, so it is reasonable to repay this favor......

Sighing, Jojo reluctantly agreed. Anyway, Lu Ze didn't mean that, it was easy to handle.

Then the grandmother happily added that there were not three people who went to the beach together, but six people...... Lu Ze also has a cousin who is two years older than him, and he is not married yet!

Qiao Qiao was speechless for a while, arranging two young men of school age in a month's vacation itinerary by the sea, this is a conspiracy of Chiguoguo!

Qiao Qiao leaned back on the locker in the gym and snorted, "Okay, then the first thing I will do when I meet them is to tell them that I don't like men, and I can't give birth." ”

Grandma's perfect disguise broke in an instant, and she was shocked and said, "Qiaoqiao, how can you talk nonsense!" What not to like men! What can't be born! ”

"Save you from giving the wrong hints. To be honest, is this another secret blind date in disguise for me? "Jojo is really helpless.

"Well, not really. It's just to go out together to have a companion for a lively New Year, I have promised Grandma Zhao them, don't talk nonsense! Grandma was really nervous, for fear that Qiao Qiao would say those shocking things in front of outsiders.

"Alright, alright. Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. Qiao Qiao knew that most of her grandparents still had that mind, at most they didn't put it on the surface, but just created opportunities everywhere for her to get along with the opposite sex. Just like the old man can't convince her, she can't convince the old man that there really is a way of life in this world that doesn't need to get married.

Stopped the car and went to the booked hotel, and as soon as he got out of the car, Qiao Qiao saw Lu Ze from a distance, who he hadn't seen for a long time, his height and appearance were really eye-catching. Lu Ze stood in front of an unusually sturdy off-road vehicle, and the young man next to him said with a hippie smile: "Don't be like this, the dinner is ordered at half past six, and there is still half an hour, let me drive out first to cool off." You don't spend every day in City A, and this car is wasted. ”

However, Lu Ze put away the car keys with a cold expression, didn't say a word, directly ignored the other party's request, and entered the hotel with long legs.
