Chapter 37: Luo Chuan's Return
Recently, Xu Shaoqing's matter has finally passed, and Qin Xiao himself has just completed a project of the decoration team. The time has reached the height of summer, and Qin Xiao also resigned from his job in the decoration team, not because he is unwilling to work with Master Wang, but because he has to prepare for the Chinese medicine qualification examination on the one hand, and he has to prepare to open his own clinic in the county seat on the other, so he really has no time to be with Master Wang anymore.
However, Master Wang also knew that this young man Qin Xiao was going to leave sooner or later, so he didn't keep it. During this time, Qin Xiao learned a lot of skills, which needless to say, and Master Wang and the workers have also grown a lot of knowledge, especially when discussing the contract with the employer, the sense of self-protection has been strengthened a lot, in previous years, at the end of the year, they have to ask for wages, often ten percent of the labor fee, less than seventy percent of the hand, but with Qin Xiao's help, they will pay attention when they take over the job, saving a lot of trouble.
Luo Chuan came back today, saying that he was going to have a banquet for everyone, and it was in the hotel near Daddy's company. This time Luo Chuan came back not to visit relatives, but to really demobilize and go home, originally planned to be a soldier, but his father is such a son, always want him to take over, after all, he is getting older and older, he wants his son to inherit his father's business, Luo Chuan also felt that Qin Xiao was gone, Liu Dongsheng was also demobilized, and he returned to his hometown and still had old comrades-in-arms, but it was also a quick thing, so he applied for demobilization and went home. Qin Xiao had just handed over the project today and led the final salary, so he said goodbye to Master Wang and his co-workers and rushed to the hotel near the Luochuan company.
Luo Chuan, as the host, naturally waited in the hotel private room early, Su Xiaoman, Ma Xiaoxi and Liu Yuxin all came, and Tang Ni did not come because she had already gone abroad to take up her post in the United States as a Chinese diplomatic officer in the United States. But this time Luo Chuan also called Liu Dongsheng, after all, he and Luo Chuan and Qin Xiao are comrades-in-arms, and they also had a relationship with everyone last time. Xu Shaoqing didn't come, Qin Xiao knew that he didn't want to show up more, so everyone didn't force it, but after Luo Chuan heard about Xu Shaoqing's matter, he couldn't help but sigh for a while.
Meng Fan naturally arrived, and was chatting with Luo Chuan about the woman's personality and body matching, He Jing just listened to their work in vain, but did not interject, Ma Xiaoxi was drinking water on the side and chatting with Su Xiaoman and Liu Yuxin about the current situation, and when he heard Meng Fan talk about women, he opened his mouth and asked:
"Meng Fan, seeing that you look like an expert, it seems that you know women very well, so what do you say about my figure and personality?"
Ma Xiaoxi belongs to the kind of woman who is a little fatter, not that she is not in good shape, and she has a cheerful and frank personality, and she usually chats with a few male classmates without holding back. Meng Fan just smiled when he heard this, and said:
"Well, your personality is a female man, needless to say......" As soon as Meng Fan said this, Ma Xiaoxi's face was already clouded, but he was used to joking with her, so he didn't care, and continued:
"In terms of figure, if your height is normal, it is on the fat side, and if you are moderately fat and thin, it is on the height side."
Luo Chuan and Liu Dongsheng immediately laughed, as soon as Ma Xiaoxi heard this, he clearly said that he was short and fat, of course, Ma Xiaoxi's figure was more than that, but Meng Fan made fun of her, provoking her to grab a handful of melon seeds and throw them at Meng Fan.
Liu Dongsheng had never seen such a big person still messing with a child like this, and he was a little uncomfortable, so he hurriedly grabbed Ma Xiaoxi's hand, so as not to "scatter flowers from the heavenly girl", so he hurriedly changed the topic and asked:
"Luo Chuan, why hasn't Qin Xiao come yet, why is this kid like an uncle, just waiting for him, you see that the waiter has several plates of dishes, just waiting for him to come and serve the dishes! You make a phone call and hurry up with him. ”
Luo Chuan was also puzzled, it stands to reason that Qin Xiao would not be late for this kind of thing, so he took out his mobile phone and was about to call Qin Xiao, but at this time, Qin Xiao called Luo Chuan, Luo Chuan flashed the mobile phone screen to Liu Dongsheng and said:
"Look, this guy still knows that he called himself." So I picked up the phone.
Luo Chuan opened his mouth and asked, "What's the matter, I'm waiting for you...... What, the security guards won't let you in? Which one are you playing, okay, I'll go down. ”
Everyone heard that Qin Xiao was stopped by the security guards, and they couldn't help but look at Luo Chuan, Luo Chuan hung up the phone and said to everyone:
"I'll go see what the hell is going on."
Qin Xiao had just finished today, and said goodbye to Master Wang, and when he saw that it was already time for the party, he didn't take a shower and change clothes, and drove directly to the hotel. But he didn't think about it, as soon as he arrived at the door, the security guard asked him what he was doing, and Qin Xiao naturally told him that he was here for dinner, but the security guard just didn't believe it, so he called Luo Chuan and asked him to come down to pick him up.
Luo Chuan put Qin Xiao into the private room, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned, only to see Qin Xiao wearing the clothes of the decoration team, the clothes were stained with spots of wall powder and sawdust, and his hair was also full of lime powder, and he was a migrant worker! Qin Xiao saw that everyone was staring at him, and he deliberately said in the dialect of his hometown:
"Look, why don't you look down on me as a countryman?"
Luo Chuan hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I finally invited you to a meal, you just came to the banquet like this, and it makes sense." ”
Qin Xiao also smiled and said, "What's the matter, let me tell you, my way of dressing to you is more ...... you have an identity."
Luo Chuan couldn't help laughing: "Why is this? I don't think so. ”
Qin Xiao said unhurriedly: "Look, usually your father is invited to dignitaries, rich businessmen, you invite this time, there are staff of government agencies, news media, enterprises and institutions, I am the representative of industrial workers, isn't this going to the grave with both wine and meat, but also burning paper, all alive?" Saying that, Qin Xiao also pointed at Liu Dongsheng, Su Xiaoman, and He Jing respectively, and then pointed at himself.
Luo Chuan knew that Qin Xiao's kid could fool, so he ignored it and said, "Okay, okay, you can quickly light this pile of burning paper, let's make incense." ”
During the banquet, several buddies had only met for a long time, so they naturally drank a lot, but when it came to drinking, Liu Yuxin didn't drink at all, He Jing was also drunk when she tried to drink, and Su Xiaoman was also drunk, but Ma Xiaoxi was definitely not drunk, at least the people present had never seen her drunk. Qin Xiao, Luo Chuan and Meng Fan all know this, when they usually go on outings, they are very experienced in buying wine every time, and they have to count her, otherwise it will not be enough to drink and drink, which will sweep everyone's interest.
So when Luo Chuan came back this time, he drank with a few comrades-in-arms, needless to say, he had a lot of alcohol, and he also had a few drinks with Ma Xiaoxi, but Ma Xiaoxi didn't drink it. Luo Chuan couldn't help but wonder and asked her:
"Aren't you massive, why don't you drink it?"
Ma Xiaoxi said unhappily: "You are only a lot!" ”
Luo Chuan was even more puzzled, and asked in a low voice, "What, are you pregnant?" ……”
Ma Xiaoxi blushed, and was about to have a seizure, Su Xiaoman hurriedly said: "Xiaoxi, she is not married yet, where did she get pregnant?" ”
Although Luo Chuan was not drunk at this time, he didn't understand what was going on, and he had to drink with Ma Xiaoxi, Qin Xiao couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly said to Luo Chuan:
"Luo Chuan, you don't understand other people's minds, do you still force others to do it? Didn't you see a police uncle coming today? Little Lori didn't dare to drink it. Saying that, Qin Xiao gave Liu Dongsheng a color, Luo Chuan laughed and said:
"Oh, that's the case, I said that although Qin Xiao and I are not police uncles, we can be regarded as uncles of the People's Liberation Army, and I haven't seen you scared, okay, you have to drink this cup with me......
Qin Xiao and Luo Chuan and Meng Fan are classmates in the same dormitory, at that time, one look can understand their meaning, plus Qin Xiao and Luo Chuan's comrades-in-arms for two years, there are no less than dozens of large and small exercise tasks, usually practice sign language, and sometimes even know what combat actions are with one look, this time the two of them seem to have discussed, they both drank with Liu Dongsheng together, and deliberately let Ma Xiaoxi hear loudly.
Qin Xiao came a little late, Meng Fan and He Jingmei didn't care about the impact on the city's appearance for a long time, but he also noticed that Ma Xiaoxi was talking to Liu Dongsheng, and his tone turned out to be rare gentle, and he didn't feel funny, thinking to himself, the reason why this woman is a female man in your eyes is not that she can't pretend to be gentle, but she hasn't met someone who can make him pretend to be gentle, otherwise this kind of extroverted person who can't hide things in his heart, once he is gentle with everyone, it will seem very abusive, so he forced them to be women.
Qin Xiao and Luo Chuan are really hard-hearted, they have to tease Ma Xiaoxi, Meng Fan is also a monkey spirit, how can he not see it, and he also joined the gang, and the amount of alcohol he practiced in the bar can be regarded as handy. The three of them poured wine on Liu Dongsheng one by one, although Liu Dongsheng said that he was a big man in the Northeast, he usually liked to drink some, but even if he was Lu Bu, he couldn't stand this brother's car ** battle, and in less than an hour, Liu Dongsheng was a little overwhelmed by alcohol.
Luo Chuan looked at Ma Xiaoxi at this time, as if he didn't care, and he muttered in his heart, so he wanted to ask Qin Xiao, are you accurate, are they interesting, if they are not interesting, isn't it in vain? But he couldn't ask directly, so Luo Chuan asked Qin Xiao in a roundabout way:
"I said Qin Xiao, do you remember the military exercise we had with Group C?"
Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Remember." Because their troops didn't have the number of Regiment C at all, Luo Chuan said a number that he didn't have, and Qin Xiao naturally had something to say when he heard it, so he echoed it.
Luo Chuan continued to ask: "In that military exercise, did you say that our main attack direction was right, how do I feel that the enemy's main force was not involved!" ”
Qin Xiao took a bite of food and said, "That's right, my commander, we are right, the main force of Group C is there!" ”
Luo Chuan let out an "oh", put down his chopsticks, picked up his wine glass, and toasted Liu Dongsheng again. Everyone naturally didn't understand what the two of them meant, and felt that it was just talking about what they were talking about when they were in the army, and Liu Dongsheng naturally drank more than the two of them, so they didn't listen to the truth of their words. But the two have already had a profound exchange of views on whether Liu Dongsheng is the object of Ma Xiaoxi's attention, and whether a vigorous irrigation of Liu Dongsheng will cause Ma Xiaoxi's reaction, and finally reached a consensus - Liu Dongsheng is right!
Sure enough, Luo Chuan wanted to drink this glass of wine with Liu Dongsheng again, Ma Xiaoxi couldn't sit still, and said to Luo Chuan: "Luo Chuan, I'll drink this cup with you!" As he spoke, Ma Xiaoxi picked up an empty wine glass, poured it full of wine, and was about to dry with Luo Chuan. Luo Chuan looked at it, smiled and said to Qin Xiao: "I remember, that time our main attack direction was correct, the enemy really increased the troops, and then we outflanked the ......" and deliberately teased Ma Xiaoxi:
"Hey, Ma Xiaoxi, didn't you stop drinking, why did you drink again? You better stop drinking, what are you mixing with our old men drinking here? ”
Qin Xiao played a round and said, "Okay, okay, who will drive my platoon commander back later?" Don't drink this cup of this cup, let's drink it with Company Commander Luo, let's do it, celebrate our victory in the exercise! ”
"Yes, victory!" Luo Chuan also said with a heart, and drank it all with Qin Xiao.
The meal was not finished until eight o'clock in the evening, and Qin Xiao also asked He Jing about the severe leprosy patients, especially Song Qinsheng's ancestors and grandchildren, He Jing told him that both of them were fine, the old man's legs were also healing well, and his basic self-care ability was also practiced very well, so Qin Xiao was relieved.
Liu Dongsheng naturally drank a lot and couldn't drive the car, Qin Xiao, Luo Chuan and Meng Fan all drank, so naturally they wouldn't drive him back, originally Luo Chuan just needed to find a security guard to send Liu Dongsheng back, but since he had learned that Ma Xiaoxi cared about him very much, he naturally wanted Ma Xiaoxi to drive Su Xiaoman to send Liu Dongsheng in a car. Although Qin Xiao was not drunk, he couldn't drive, so he had to ask Su Xiaoman to see him off, Meng Fan and He Jing could have taken Qin Xiao's car to the bar together, and then sent He Jing back to the dormitory of the infectious disease hospital, but Meng Fan was also very clever and had to take a taxi back with He Jing.
Su Xiaoman drove Qin Xiao's car, and on the way back to send Qin Xiao, he asked Qin Xiao: "Qin Xiao, how did you see that Ma Xiaoxi has a crush on Officer Liu?" ”
Qin Xiao smiled and said, "I didn't care at first, I just guessed, but seeing that Ma Xiaoxi's behavior was different from usual, he used to dress simply and casually, but this time it seems that he also carefully chose his own dress, I felt different from before when I saw her." And among us, only He Jing and Liu Dongsheng met later, He Jing is a woman, and Ma Xiaoxi doesn't seem to be a lace edge, so it's like what the Japanese cartoons we watched before said - there is only one truth! ”
Su Xiaoman listened to Qin Xiao's analysis, nodded and said: "She does like Officer Liu, but when the two of us were together, I knocked on the side and asked, I didn't expect you to see it without asking, and she asked me many times when she got dressed today, and I was annoyed." But it's hard for the two of you, if the two of you went to get drunk with Officer Liu for no reason, I would have been upset, but seeing that you are out of kindness, I won't be silent. ”
Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Yes, good people have good rewards, this is called 'Mingyue decorates your window, you decorate other people's dreams', don't you also have a chance to be alone with me, I'm usually so busy, isn't it?" ”
Su Xiaoman smiled and said, "It's so rare, you are not shy to say this." ”
Qin Xiao smiled: "What are you shy? I, a migrant worker, can't marry a wife, even if you, a person who used to be angry with me before, I have no choice but to make up for it. ”
Su Xiaoman slammed on the brakes, Qin Xiao didn't have time to react, his forehead hit the glove box in front of the co-pilot, and suddenly Qin Xiao covered his forehead and said, "What are you doing?" I murdered my husband, and you want to be a widow......"
Su Xiaoman ignored Qin Xiao's joke here, turned his head and asked solemnly, "Do you really think so?" ”
Qin Xiao was suddenly asked so solemnly by Su Xiaoman, but he was at a loss for what to do, and he didn't answer for a long time. Su Xiaoman just looked at Qin Xiao and didn't make a sound, Qin Xiao said in a low voice:
"Xiao Man, I'...... I don't know how to say it, since I graduated, I have encountered a lot of things, medical disputes, and loss of job, in fact, I don't know what is going on with many things, my grandfather also asked me not to reason with the Zhang family, but I want to understand, and, now I don't have a job, a poor sour boy, so, I don't want to talk about it now......"
Su Xiaoman sighed and said: "Okay, if you don't want to say it, forget it, I know that your family has a grudge with Zhai Congying's cousin, that is, the account Zhang Haojian's family, Xu Shaoqing also mentioned it to me, and I also know that you don't have this mind now, so I don't want to force anything, but Qin Xiao, you must know that I am also your good friend, if you encounter any difficulties, I hope you will also think of me." ”
When Qin Xiao heard this, he immediately felt a little moved and overwhelmed, Su Xiaoman said with a smile: "Ouch, you also have a time to twist!" ”
Qin Xiao came back to his senses and said with a smile: "No, if I'm bored, I'll definitely find you to fight and relieve my boredom!" ”
Su Xiaoman continued to start the car and said, "Yes, then I have to cut off the back of your head!" ”
Of course, Meng Fan and He Jing didn't take a taxi back, the two walked and chatted on the street, Meng Fan smiled evilly:
"Looks like wine is a good thing!"
He Jing was puzzled and asked, "What kind of good thing can that be?" ”
Meng Fan smiled: "Didn't you also find me here because of drinking?" Officer Liu and He Jing also got together because of this drinking, and they also took Su Xiaoman with him a chance to pinch Qin Xiaodan. ”
He Jing smiled: "This is pure crookedness. ”
