Chapter 5: Buyers

Hearing her grandfather's exclamation, Qiao Qiao thought about it, sat up solemnly, and decided not to gag anymore, but to seriously talk to her grandparents about her thoughts: "Grandpa, I'm not pessimistic. In my eyes, marriage is an economic union that is held together from the beginning of its creation by the need to raise offspring and the distribution of property. In this relationship, women need to be clothed and fed, and men need to have offspring. Therefore, men who have no money at home and have no earning ability themselves, and women who do not have the ability to give birth to offspring, have basically lost more than 80% of their competitiveness in the marriage market. ”

Qiao Qiao pointed to the three-bedroom and two-living house that she bought purely by making money after graduation, and said: "But now women are beginning to have independent financial ability, and the heavy labor that was solved by their husbands in daily life in the past can basically be done by taking the opportunity and hiring someone." So why should I get married? I don't like to buy groceries and cook, I don't like housework, I don't like to take care of children, I don't like seven aunts and eight aunts. I can buy my own house and car, I have a job, and even if I lose this job, I have the ability to find another job. I don't need a man to support me, I don't expect to have a child to provide for me, I don't need marriage to give me anything, neither materially nor spiritually. ”

After saying that, my grandparents were stunned for a long time before they came back to their senses, and my grandmother "but" for a long time, and I didn't know what to go back, but I always felt that hey...... Ay! How can a man not get married and not have children?

Taking advantage of the fact that the old man was being said, Qiao Qiao jumped up and fooled them to wash, "Okay, okay, aren't you tired from the long-haul flight?" Don't talk about me anymore, you guys get some rest! Normally, you go to bed at eight or nine o'clock at night, and tomorrow you will go to the garden! ”

It was not the first time that the two old men had come to City B to see their grandsons, and those local attractions had already been there, so this time they only stayed in City B until Tuesday morning and were going back. Of course, the choice of this Sunday's event also made Qiao Qiao see through their purpose at a glance, what kind of garden to visit, Bacheng just specially found a place with green water, red leaves, flowers and pleasure boats, hoping to let her and Lu Ze cultivate a relationship.

Fortunately, Lu Ze himself doesn't want to get married like her, so it's easy to solve.

The grandfather who was fooled by Qiao Qiao went to the second bedroom to wash, and the grandmother went to the master bedroom. However, as soon as Grandma entered Qiaoqiao's master bedroom, she seemed to be instantly freed from the fugue state just now, looked at Qiaoqiao's bedroom with a shocked face, and sighed: "It's too messy! Qiaoqiao, you kid, hey, girl's bedroom, you have to clean up! ”

Qiao Qiao smiled and hugged her grandmother to cover her eyes, and said poorly: "Why can't a girl's bedroom be messed up?" Don't look at it, don't look at it, I'll take you to the bathroom. ”

Grandma pulled down Jojo's fingers and stared at the various professional coats and shirts piled up like a hill on the chair, as if every wrinkle was patient, "Come on, come on, bring it in and I'll wash it for you." Girls, love cleanliness! ”

"It's just a coat, how can I have time to do laundry every day, and send it to the laundry once a week. Don't look at it, don't look at it! Jojo pushed her grandmother into the bathroom.

"Hey, the information on this table is messed up like this, you straighten it out, I'll clear it for you!"

Qiao Qiao directly hugged her grandmother and begged for mercy: "Please! Please! If you pack up, I won't find anything! ”

Grandma looked at the house and shook her head and sighed, deeply doubting whether her family Qiaoqiao would marry or not. A real girl can't do the same things, she can't cook and eat out every day, she won't drag the floor and shout cleaning every week, she won't wash her clothes and send them to the laundry, she won't clean up the house and ruin a good house...... can make money, hey, make money more than men, and what man dares to marry?

The sad and sad grandmother touched Qiaoqiao's face, hey, fortunately, she was born well, but she dressed up like a professional beauty when she went to work, and every time she came out on a blind date, she wore no makeup sportswear, and she really didn't have any sincerity to get married.

When Qiaoqiao sent her grandparents into the bedroom to rest, she finally threw herself into her comfortable big bed and snorted twice, what could she do? The old man's life is different from her, she gets married when she is introduced, she has children when she gets married, and she makes do with it for a lifetime, and she has never thought about divorce or not getting married. She still cherishes the time with the elderly, it is really one day less, she goes home once a year during the Spring Festival, even if the old man can live for another ten years, it is only ten weeks. She has taken as much annual leave as possible to accompany them.

However, can you not rush marriage and children as soon as you meet?

Forget it, let's just be perfunctory, anyway, they're going back to City A on Monday night.

The next day, I had a good night's sleep, and then went downstairs to meet Lu Ze's family before lunch, and then went to the park for lunch. I don't know if Lu Ze and Grandpa Zhao went back to say anything later, anyway, at least the conversation in the car was somewhat restrained, and he began to chat with Qiao Qiao a little normally, talking about things when he was studying, and talking about the current work situation. Of course, this is limited to Qiao Qiao, Lu Ze, who was driving, did not participate in the topic at all, and was silent throughout the whole process. Qiao Qiao only knows that he is a doctor of computer science, and he just graduated in July this year, as for what his current job is and why he has so many holidays to take the elderly out to play, although she is slightly puzzled, she did not ask.

There are a lot of things in this world that will make you a little confused and curious, hey, what are you doing? How many pounds do you have now? How much do you make in a month? …… But respect** and keeping your distance are more important things.

The autumn sun is warm and the lake is sparkling, although the old people who have stopped a little in language still don't give up in action, deliberately holding hands in front of them in pairs, leaving Qiao Qiao and Lu Ze behind, but the breezy outdoor activities still make people feel brighter.

"Lu Ze." Jojo called. Lu Ze didn't respond, but turned his head slightly to look at her, the afternoon sun sprinkled through the red leaves on his handsome face, which was indeed pleasing to the eye. But Jojo didn't call him just to talk, but really felt a little troubled.

Last night, it was said that it was Qiaoqiao who invited a guest to pick up the wind, but when Qiaoqiao went to settle the bill after the meal, the waiter told him that the young gentleman in the private room had already settled the bill. Qiaoqiao is still very generous in treating his grandparents and grandparents, and he took other people's feelings to travel together, so the meal in the hotel booked is still relatively expensive. As a result, the bill has been paid by Lu Ze. Qiao Qiao asked the waiter for the bill, looked at the amount, and wanted to pay Lu Ze, but the other party just lightly dropped a sentence of "no".

Rushing to pay the bill is a technical job, and Qiao Qiao is not good at pulling out a handful of cash and stuffing it, and then pushing each other, the other party is a man, and he is probably embarrassed to ask for it. So at that time, Qiao Qiao pushed the boat down the river and said that she had a treat at noon today, and Lu Ze didn't say anything at that time, so she took Lu Ze as a default, and the other party was okay. As a result, the bill for today's lunch and the large and small tickets all the way over were all paid by Lu Ze.

Although he is not a shopaholic, Qiaoqiao still has a certain understanding of luxury, because the financial industry needs suits and leather shoes to go out in a bright way to fool customers, so most of them have some luxury series of suits, watches and bags. And this choice is very personal preference, such as choosing a big LOGO for fear that others will not know the series, or preferring a low-key and introverted type.

Therefore, Qiao Qiao can roughly see that Lu Ze should have a good family background, the watch in his hand is a six-digit number, and it is not a low six-digit number, although he is dressed in a low-key manner, but in fact, his outfit is still expensive. He may not be short of money and therefore does not care much about paying the small amount of money, or he may be accustomed to the fact that men should pay the bills.

But Qiaoqiao was not moved at all, and even felt very troubled, she felt that owing favor was one of the biggest headaches in this world. She was also very worried that her grandparents had been playing on the island with others for more than a week, and whether they had also paid a lot of money that should be shared in the details.

Qiao Qiao told Lu Ze in detail, expressing his hope that the other party would not continue this style of paying bills, which would cause unnecessary distress and pressure to people. There are three people on both sides, and it is very appropriate to divide the bill evenly.

Lu Ze lowered his head slightly, listened to Qiao Qiao's words beside him in silence, and responded, "It's okay." ”

Qiaoqiao held his forehead, it's not that you're fine, it's me who is okay! It's a lot of psychological pressure!

Lu Ze raised his head and stared at the back of Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao walking in front of him, and explained, "It's good that they're happy." When he faced the old man, although he still didn't talk much, at most he just listened in a muffled voice, but he was actually very patient.

Qiao Qiao had no choice but to propose a compromise solution, she brought some more gifts and health supplements back to City A for Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao, which was regarded as the cost AA. Lu Ze nodded.

Solving the problem here, Qiao Qiao chased after him and rubbed between his grandparents and grandparents, grabbed one with one hand, and said with a hippie smile: "What are you doing, you are patronizing and walking in love, don't you want me?" ”

As a result, before she could finish teasing, the company's mobile phone rang. Qiao Qiao took out the phone and looked at it, and the caller ID - Boss Li Jinzhou.

It's over, it's a big Sunday afternoon, and it's going to be a soup.

"Qiaoqiao, within two hours, bring your laptop to the A301 conference room on the eighteenth floor of the company." Li Jinzhou paused, "It's not so strict, it's okay if you're a little late, go home and prepare first, at least forty hours of all-night sleep." ”
