25. Strategy

"Hahaha, the company is like my second child, sooner or later, I have to let him **." Xiang Qiushi made a pun, and closed his eyes again after speaking.

Outside the window, rows of streetlights drowned behind him.

In the depths of winter, bleak clouds moved heavily across the sky. The northwest wind spreads unhindered and fills the streets and alleys of the city. Endless houses took on a gray color, and the sky and streets darkened. Dead branches that have fallen leaves, flying dust, white waste paper and plastic bags fluttering add to the gloom and depression. The cold wind swept through the long, gray street, as if to bring mourning. The weather is cold and green, and the north wind is called dry mulberry. There is no crack in the thick ice, and there is a cold light in the short day.

"Oh, it smells so good. It's still a dish made by my mother. As soon as he returned home, Xiangnan smelled a smell of beef tongue, and his stomach immediately became refreshed.

"Haha, you kid, you finally lived up to your mother's craftsmanship in the afternoon." Meiru smiled and groaned in the center of the sofa.

"Mom, really, I don't know how many times better your cooking skills are than those big restaurants." Accustomed to eating the greasy stuff of sea cucumber and abalone oil outside, he prefers home-cooked food that goes back to basics.

And every time Xiang Nan sees his mother, he changes his cold and silent image from the past, and he is very happy, especially since he left home, he always has a strong family complex when he is alone. Especially looking at the happy scene in other people's homes, it often evokes the sadness that he was once negative alone.

"Mom's cooking is delicious, then you move home to live, Mom will cook food for you every day."

"Well, Mom, why do you have time to come over today, can you call Sister-in-law Wu to come over and do it, how tired you are running back and forth."

"Less crossing, say, go back or not."

"Mom, look at you, here you are again."

"Why, mom doesn't like to listen to it just by nagging a few words."

"No, Mom, don't worry, I'll go back when the time comes. Don't worry about it. ”

"Hey, this time I came at the behest of your father, and he said that he would give you a chance to reform your ways, even if you don't work in the company, you should move back home."

"My dad? What else did my dad say? "Family affection is always the warmest warmth in the heart.

"Your dad said that the air conditioning here is not healthy, the house is empty, and the cold weather is afraid that you can't stand it alone, please focus on the overall situation, don't be angry, and go home early." Xiang Qiushi's concern is written on his face, although he doesn't say it clearly. Meiru understood.

It's not a lie to convey it like this, she just said what Xiang Qiushi buried in her heart. Meiru is secretly happy for her cleverness. The two of them are angry like two children who don't grow up, and they need her as a woman to coax them in everything.

"Really? That's what my dad said. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! If it is fake, it will be replaced. You kid, how can mom joke with you about this? Is. ”

"Oh." Xiang Nan lowered his eyes a little moist, although he had always pretended not to care, in fact, his father was still the deepest weakness in his heart.

Mom is soft, Dad is hard. Mom's love can be seen everywhere, but Dad's love is buried deep, deep.

"Mom, give me a while longer, I don't want to go back to see my dad like this without accomplishment, and when I bring this batch of students to graduation, I will go home and go back to the company to work." Xiang Nan stepped forward to take his mother's hand and said in a pleading tone for the first time. I also want my mother to pass this sentence on to my father as it is, so that he can rest assured.

"Is that true?"

"Of course it's true, when did I lie to you?"

"Ouch, great, good son, if your father heard this, I don't know how happy he would be." Meiru happily stepped forward to hug her son. Her husband is her heaven, her son is her land, as long as they can get along in harmony and love each other, she is the happiest and most contented woman in the world.

After dinner, Xiang Nan drank the freshly squeezed juice, satisfied and comfortable.

"Mom" he leaned in front of his mother, rested his head on his mother's lap, and said seriously. "Would you like to discuss something?"

"What's the matter?" Meiru rubbed her hand over her son's kitten-like, fluffy, soft hair.

"Let's hire a babysitter."

"What do you do with a babysitter? Isn't there a sister-in-law Wu at home? Besides, Mom doesn't like outsiders at home. No, please, please. ”

"Mom? ......" Xiang Nan is half coquettish, half mischievous squint at his mother, looking like a sweetheart. This old mother eats hard and not soft, and can only grasp the weakness of her mother's world.

"Okay, you say, you tell me the reason for hiring a babysitter."

"That's right, there is a girl in my class who is from a very poor family, and she is very pitiful. This time, her father, who was dependent on each other, passed away in a car accident, and she was the only one left in the family to live in a rented house, which was very pitiful. Originally, she was a tutor to supplement the family, but now that the Spring Festival is approaching, people no longer use tutors, and she is now a problem to eat alone, several times when I eat, I saw that she was the last student to go to the cafeteria to eat, and a steamed bun with pickles pickled in cabbage leaves is her lunch, which makes people feel sad. ”

"It's sad enough, poor child, what about her mother?"

"Mom died when she was young, otherwise she wouldn't be like she is today."

"Oh, my poor baby, she's suffering." Meiru kept wiping her eyes with a tissue.

"Nan'er, my mother is in charge of this matter, you tell her to come home tomorrow. She doesn't have to do the housework, we take care of her diet and daily life for free. ”

"No, no, absolutely not."

"What's the matter? Are you afraid that she will not be used to coming to the house, it's okay, I will treat her like my own child, and I won't let her be wronged. ”

"Mom, that's not what I meant. You don't know, this girl's mind is particularly sensitive. Take the last time, when the classmates in the class saw her pitiful and spontaneously donated money for her, she refused to accept it, and she did not accept everyone's pity. In the end, the money had to be used to fund the class. Originally, the school also wanted to organize a fundraiser, but seeing that she was so stubborn, she finally failed. ”

"This kid has a strong heart, and my mother likes it. If you tell her what you say, you will not come. Meiru was more and more moved when she heard her son's words. After thinking about it in a blink of an eye, he thought about it: "In this way, son, don't worry, this matter is on my mother." Hehehe, no one can escape the mother's thirty-six tricks when they grow so big. ”

"What? Thirty-six plans, Mom, that's okay. ”

"Hehe, son, don't believe it, letting your dad fall under my pomegranate skirt back then is the best example. Hehehehe, you just wait to see the show. Meiru's face was red and proud.
