Chapter 9: Chu Ran
Qiao Yang went home, Qiao An's car happened to be parked in the corridor, Qiao An always ran here two times in three days, and now let him know that he didn't listen to him, and went to the theater to report again, I don't know what that kid will think. He stopped at the bottom of the building and hesitated for a long time, trying to get home and sort out his speech.
But after thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't find the words to prevaricate Qiao An, and finally let it go directly, and said in my heart: Anyway, this stinky boy was raised by me since I was a child, how can he eat me, how dare he?
Cheering himself up, Qiao Yang took the elevator to the floor where he was going to live, the elevator door was just about to be pushed open, and the coincidental Chen Lili stood at the door again, and the two politely used their signature smiles at the same time, and this scene was played again.
Qiao Yang made the first move this time, and said first: "Go out, it's a coincidence, I can meet Miss Chen here."
Chen Lili waved her hand and looked at Qiao Yang with a smile: "Ouch, call Miss Chen weird, I'm younger than Old Qiao, just call me Xiao Chen", Chen Lili directly thought of her own name for Qiao Yang, and then pointed to the door of his house with one hand, and pulled Qiao Yang out of the elevator door with the other, and the elevator door naturally closed, it seems that she doesn't plan to take the elevator out for the time being.
Qiao Yang was pulled over by her with a slight sense of mystery, and the hand carrying the chicken paw bag unconsciously protected his chest, as if Cheng Chen Lili was going to do something bad to him.
I only heard Chen Lili pointing to Qiao Yang's door and saying, "Your brother seems to have brought a woman back, that girl looks like she is fierce, and she looks very mean."
Qiao Yang thought about it himself, and was a little surprised, and then Qiao An brought his girlfriend.
Qiao An is different from him, his life is very checked, he doesn't smoke or drink, he doesn't fight at school, and he talks about his first girlfriend in college until now, who said that they are separated and combined, but they really have each other, who has left whom, the only woman Qiao An can bring is his girlfriend Chu Ran, and only Chu Ran.
Chu Ran is not as good-tempered as Qiao An, and he can prevaricate in a few words. Chu Ran is basically in the vegetable market and can compare with the grocery aunt at the price of a pound of vegetables. is also considered by Qiao Yang to be a rare heroine among women. Lu saw the injustice and roared, and she Chu Nuxia was a righteous person who punished evil and promoted good, but the society was stable, and there were not so many bad guys for her to punish, so she regarded Qiao Yang as the cockroach that polluted the society. Everything must be told to Qiao An about the theory of fire prevention, anti-theft and anti-Qiao Yang.
But who makes Qiao An unbearable, he will still rescue Qiao Yang all the time, and now Qiao An brought Chu Ran here, because he has found out that Qiao An gave him the house granted to him by his company to live in him, and the consequences are not conjectured.
Qiao Yang opened the doorknob of the door with trembling hands, pushed open the door, and walked in. Fortunately, there was harmony inside, and Chu Ran's shadow was not found for the time being. But Qiao Yang's heart was still carrying, and he tiptoed in, only to find that there was movement from the kitchen, Qiao An happened to be wearing an apron and holding a rice spoon in his hand, smelling the sound.
Seeing Qiao Yang, he smiled: "Brother, you're back, oh, we've been here for a while, Chu Ran took Xiao Xia to a nearby mall to buy clothes, the meal is almost ready, you come and help."
Listening to Qiao An's words, it turned out that Chu Ran was not there, Qiao Yang's heart suddenly relaxed, took the chicken feet on the bag in his hand, and said, "Oh, I also bought some, let's add some food to you." After speaking, he put the bag on the dining table, the dining table is a rectangular lacquered wood table, the short side represents the upper seat, the position of the head of the family, although he unanimously said to the outside world that he is the head of the family, but in front of Chu Ran, should he continue to inherit the throne, or should he abdicate and give way to Qiao An.
Qiao Yang hurriedly approached Qiao An, subconsciously looked in the direction of the door, made sure that Chu Ran had not returned, and asked in a low voice: "Little hairy boy, my brother asked you, did Chu Ran say anything before he came."
Qiao An knew that Qiao Yang would say this, and deliberately tilted her head and pretended to remember: "She seemed to be very angry after knowing the news, but when she mentioned that this was for Qiao Xia, there was nothing to be angry about", he came back to his senses and turned his head to comfort Qiao Yang and said: "Brother, don't worry, we are just here for an ordinary visit, just let go and eat as before."
Like before, when I ate with Joan and his wife during the Chinese New Year, I really didn't let go of eating. Qiao An put the cooked food on the table like that, and Chu Ran came back with Qiao Xia.
Chu Ran held Qiao Xia in his left hand and the bag in his right hand and the bags in several clothing stores. When I came back, I didn't find Qiao Yang, so I stood at the door and said to Qiao An: "I said Qiao An, what is the situation of your niece, I don't understand the fashionable clothes she wears, it must be Qiao Yang's infection, when he comes back, you tell me about him, do you know how to buy clothes for your own daughter."
Then as soon as I looked up, I saw Qiao An who was putting the dishes, and Qiao Yang who was assisting in setting the dishes and chopsticks, the words had already been said to the mouth, Chu Ran often said this about Qiao Yang on the back and on the front, and naturally added to Qiao Yang tacitly: "Come on, I'll tell him face to face, Qiao Yang, will you care about your daughter, she has so few clothes, you don't buy them for her", said and shook the clothes he bought for Qiao Xia in his hand, all of them are brand-name goods.
Qiao Yang had to bend slightly according to Chu Ran's current posture, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Yes, you are the best, I won't be Brother Qiao An another day, I will be his nephew, and you can buy me one too."
Chu Ran has a weakness, but whenever she says something about the relationship with Qiao An, she will blush and her heart will soften, so that she can change from a female man to a girl for a while, and sure enough, this trick temporarily freed Qiao Yang from the embarrassment of seeing Chu Ran.
But he really didn't guess that Qiao Xia looked at him with extremely strange eyes, which directly made Qiao Yang a little panicked, Qiao Xia didn't speak, took the clothes that Chu Ran bought for her, went back to the room and put them away, and when the three of them came out, they were already sitting down and waiting for her to eat.
When Chu Ran calmed down, he still stared at him with resentful eyes, that look was like a knife, which could scrape him to a serious injury, Qiao Yang swallowed the dish in a mouthful, and listened to Chu Ran with innocent eyes with Qiao An.
Mingren didn't say dark words, Chu Ran took a bite of rice and said to Qiao Yang seriously: "Brother, I am pregnant with Qiao An's child", Qiao Yang's mouthful of dishes, Qiao An's mouthful of soup, one was not chewed, the other was not swallowed, and they were all squirted out.
The two of them coughed even more after spitting, and Chu Ran calmly waited for the two of them to answer as if he had already guessed that they would all let them react. Qiao Xia, who didn't receive any reaction, just got two bites of the dish she wanted to eat, looked at the mess in front of Qiao An and Qiao Yang's dinner table, frowned, and put down her chopsticks with a disgusted expression.
Qiao Yang: "Congratulations."
Joan: "Why don't you tell me when you have it".
Chu Ran read the reactions of all of them, and pouted: "Not yet, I said this for my future pregnancy, big brother, do you want to pay for my future child and give red envelopes."
When the two men heard that Chu Ran was not pregnant, they were relieved and relieved.
Qiao An sorted out the mess in front of her desk, turned her head and sorted it out for Qiao Yang like an old mother, and Qiao Yang waited for Qiao An to help him clean it up with a natural face.
Chu Ran's sentence was to ask Qiao Yang, Qiao An pushed Qiao Yang to ask him to answer, and Qiao Yang also replied happily: "Bao, of course you want to Bao."
Chu Ran saw the fish taking the bait, and directly stretched out his hand in front of Qiao Yang: "Then I want it now, you give it to me", Qiao Yang also reached out and patted Chu Ran's hand heavily, and said, "Aren't you pregnant yet."
"Then I'll get pregnant sooner or later."
"Then I'll give you a red envelope sooner or later."
Both of them held their mouths to the side, and at the same time looked at Joan, on one side was his girlfriend of ten years, and on the other side was his brother who had watched him grow up, who would he help.
Qiao An voluntarily stood neutral and unconsciously leaned towards Qiao Xia's side, Chu Ran continued to make his words clearer: "I'm not afraid that you won't have the money to give your nephew a red envelope at that time, Qiao Yang, Qiao An and I have taken great pains for your job, you can give me consent, if you don't agree, you can be sorry for the nephew I will conceive in the future."
Qiao An really didn't expect that Chu Ran originally promised to come over and persuade his brother with him to go to their unit for an internship and then turn into a regular and steady job, but he didn't expect Chu Ran to be ruthless and use this method, his face was a little red unconsciously, Qiao Xia, who was sitting on the side, looked at Qiao An's face was a little wrong, and he couldn't react, and asked with concern: "Little uncle, is there something uncomfortable?"
Qiao An shook her head, the main topic was coming, and Qiao Xia needed to avoid it, so she took out ten yuan from her pocket and said to Qiao Xia: "Xiao Xia, help the little uncle go downstairs to buy a bottle of water."
Qiao Xia took the money and went out, there were only three people left in the house, Qiao Yang took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, felt all over his body to find a lighter, lit a fire, took a puff at the cigarette holder, and slowly spit it out, Qiao Xia has asthma and can't ask the smell of smoke, so he hasn't smoked at home for a long time.
He smoked a cigarette to ease up, and only then did he spit out a few words from the smell of smoke: "Chu Ran, your red envelope, I will lend it to you even if I borrow it from others, but that job... He looked up at the couple in front of him, his eyes were full of indifference, and his dark brown pupils showed an inextricable coldness, and continued: "Thank you so much for that job, but let's push it away."
"What", Qiao An stood up, her expression was a little excited: "Brother, it doesn't matter to you, what should Qiao Xia do, what do you use to support her".
Qiao Yang held a cigarette in his mouth, raised an index finger, poked the table, and accentuated his tone: "I can't raise her, she can go to her uncle and find her mother, she will be better off than me, do you think her uncle can really rest assured that she will be handed over to me, a poor bastard, you can rest assured that his uncle is going abroad for work, and when he comes back, he will come to ask for it sooner or later when he finds that Qiao Xia is staying with me."
Qiao Yang confessed the truth, didn't say anything, took another puff of cigarette, Hongxing burned until the orange cigarette butt before he let go, pressed the cigarette butt on the snow-white disk, extinguished the fire above, Qiao Xia He didn't seem to plan to raise, ten years ago not under his control, it was equivalent to giving up custody from now on, he told them this matter to clean up, telling them that Qiao Xia would be picked up by her uncle sooner or later, and told them not to take Qiao Xia's affairs on him.
Joan's breathing became more and more rapid, and there was a breath in her heart that seemed to be likely to erupt anytime and anywhere.
Chu Ran, who was still sitting in his position, didn't speak for a long time, and waited for a long time before he said slowly: "So you don't accept our kindness, right?"
Now that Qiao Yang has made his attitude clear, there is nothing good to say to him. also had a direct showdown and asked him if Qiao Yang would do the job at the end of the last time, but then Qiao Yang's reaction was still very clear, he would rather work in a repertory troupe that was not favored than accept the stability of their handouts.
Chu Ran is a happy person, she has nothing to say, she has already asked what she should ask, Qiao Yang also expressed her position very resolutely, but Qiao An was not at ease and asked unreasonably: "Why, brother, think about what is so good about that repertory troupe, it is worth you to put half of your life into it, you are for your performance, you can perform there on stage You put your marriage into it at the beginning, so that you and Qiao Xia are now what they are, like father and daughter."
Qiao An persuaded hard, Qiao Yang didn't seem to hear it, and shook out a cigarette from the cigarette case, and continued to turn the clouds and spit out the fog, he quickly finished another cigarette, looked at Qiao An, as if the previous stalemate had not happened, and showed an unserious face, and said to Qiao An casually: "Little hairy boy, go home after eating with your girlfriend, I don't have time to greet you, the old man in our theater also gave me a new script to study, I'll study it first."
