Chapter Seventy-Nine: Investigation
"Hello Auntie, give me the bag, I'll carry it." Shi Lei took the bag from He Jia's mother, and felt it with his hand, it should be filled with clothes, and it was not heavy at all.
He Jia's mother looked up and down a few times: "Young man, your name is Shi Lei?" ”
Shi Lei smiled and said: "Yes, the stone of the stone, the three stones of that Lei." ”
"What were you just smoking?" I came, and I didn't say I was waiting here, but I went to the side to smoke? Just want to chase my daughter too?
"Yes." Shi Lei was a little puzzled, you don't care if I smoke?
"Go stop the car."
At this time, how could a taxi be stopped, fortunately, Shi Lei called a telegraph taxi just now, which is usually called Hao, the car is better and the price is more expensive.
He Jia whispered to his mother in the back all the way, and Shi Lei sat in the front, looking through the rearview mirror, feeling as if He Jia's mother had been staring at him.
Sent home, Shi Lei put the bag on the ground and said politely: "Auntie, then you can rest first, I will also go home, just next door, you can call me again if you have something." ”
After He Jia's mother watched Shi Lei open the door, she suddenly said, "Xiao Shi, can Auntie visit your room?" ”
Shi Lei was stunned for a moment: "Of course you can, Auntie, please come in." ”
He Jia's mother entered the house and looked down, two pairs of slippers, a pair of men's and a woman's, she glanced back at He Jia. He Jia took these slippers from her, and Shi Lei's newly bought slippers are still in the shoe cabinet.
"Xiaoshi, your house is quite clean, you cleaned it up yourself, or did you ask for a housekeeper?"
"It's ~~ housekeeping please." As soon as Shi Lei wanted to say that He Jia helped clean up, he saw He Jia waving desperately behind her mother's back.
"It's expensive to hire housekeeping, isn't it?"
"Ah, it's not much, clean up once a week, fifty yuan at a time, and clean it inside and out."
"Your kitchen is good, everything is well prepared, you can fire it yourself?"
Shi Lei glanced at He Jia, and saw that He Jia didn't say anything, so he told the truth: "He Jia and I sometimes eat together, these are all she asked me to buy, and I usually cook noodles myself, scrambled eggs or something." ”
He Jia's mother turned around and walked into Shi Lei's bedroom, He Jiala didn't hold it, why did you even enter other people's bedrooms.
Shi Lei feels that He Jia's mother seems to be looking for something, but what are you looking for to find my house? Still looking at the pillow with your head down, what's so nice about that?
He Jia's mother frowned, she didn't have long hair? Could it be that He Jia really didn't follow him? Maybe I knew I was coming, so I cleaned it up yesterday?
She walked into the bathroom, in the washing machine, and next to the two buckets containing socks and **, she looked at them carefully, and there was no evidence.
She nodded with satisfaction: "Xiaoshi, you live alone, and your clothes are washed once a week, right?" ”
Shi Lei smiled awkwardly: "Ah, yes, I usually pile it in a bucket and wash it once a weekend." ”
"Xiao Shi, come to the house for dinner in a while, and I'll cook you two specialty dishes for you to taste."
"No, no, I'll go to work in a while."
"Don't lie to Auntie, Jiajia has said it, you have a job like this, it's okay if you don't show up in the company for a day. Remember to come, it will be done in half an hour. ”
Shi Lei glanced at He Jia, she didn't object, so she nodded: "That's okay, I'll go over in a while." ”
Back at home, He Jia was unhappy: "Mom~~ What did you do just now, going to other people's houses to rummage." Even if you go to other people's bedrooms and bathrooms, and how often do other people wash their clothes, does it matter to you? ”
"I'm going to check, you don't understand. I'll look at your refrigerator, why are there only eggs, go downstairs to buy vegetables, and Xiaoshi will come over to eat in a while. ”
Half an hour later, He Jia came over and knocked on the door and asked Shi Lei to come over for dinner. Shi Lei asked in a low voice: "Just now, you~ Mom are rummaging around, what are you looking for?" ”
"Nothing, don't mind. Look at me for a while, don't talk nonsense. My mom doesn't have a good temper, be careful of her swearing! He Jia reminded.
"Is it a bad temper? I didn't see it, I thought it was good, and it politely invited me over for dinner. You told you~ Mom about the amount of food I eat, don't be too hungry. ”
"Xiao Shi, come, try this pot meat made by Auntie." He Jia's mother kept picking vegetables for Shi Lei, her eyes were full of smiles, she was very satisfied with this Shi Lei.
"Thank you, Auntie. Auntie, your craft is really amazing, He Jia also learned it from you, right? ”
"Hahaha, Xiaoshi, you really know how to talk. By the way, Xiaoshi, you are still single, how old are you? ”
"Twenty-three, it should be, I'm not sure."
"Should? What do you mean, there are still people who don't know their age? ”
"I'm an orphan, and I've been left at the door of the orphanage since I was a child, so I don't know my birthday, and my age is roughly estimated." Shi Lei said a little lonely.
Seeing He Jia's mother, he also thought, how good it would be if there was such a mother who cared about him, but where were his parents, why did they leave him at the door of the orphanage? The old dean's birthday is approaching, and she will have to take time to check it out in a few days, but her daughter is not around.
"Xiaoshi, I'm sorry, this Jiajia didn't tell me, I don't know, it aroused your sadness, right?"
"It's okay, I'm used to it. I'm pretty good in the orphanage, I have a lot of friends to play with, and the old dean is very good to us. It's just that the orphanage is now gone, and the old director has retired. Shi Lei took a deep breath and said after calming down.
Orphan? That is, there are no parents to take care of? Although Jiajia may be a year older than him, this is not a problem at all. If you become with Jiajia, isn't it equivalent to a door-to-door son-in-law? Look at the young man's height and appearance, well, let's look at the income again.
"Xiaoshi, your monthly income is not bad now, I see that you are still renting a house, when do you plan to buy a house, how much is the down payment missing?"
"Uh-huh! Mom, you eat this braised pork, and the roasted pork you made today is particularly good. He Jia hurriedly grabbed a piece of braised pork with chopsticks and put it in her mother's bowl.
"Don't interrupt, eat your meal, I'll talk to Xiaoshi." He Jia's mother reprimanded.
He Jia winked desperately at Shi Lei, and pointed down with his hand. The lower the better.
The more Shi Lei listened, the more wrong he became, how could it be like his mother-in-law inspecting her son-in-law, didn't He Jia explain it clearly?
"The down payment is far from it, and this is not a rented house. I plan to buy a house in two years, and I can't save money. It's a few thousand dollars a month, and it's all spent on eating and drinking with friends. ”
He Jia secretly gave Shi Lei a thumbs up, and answered beautifully!
Sure enough, the eagerness in He Jia's mother's eyes decreased slightly, it's not okay to spend money lavishly, there is no economic foundation at all, Jiajia will follow him in the future, and he will not have to endure hardships, so forget it.
