Hu Lai

Zhou Fan was boiling mutton in the pot, the mutton was tumbling in the pot, and the living room was filled with the aroma of mutton. Zhou Fang was attracted by the fragrance, put down the book in his hand and walked into the living room.

"Is it ripe, I'm already salivating." He lifted the lid of the steaming pot, sniffed it, and stirred it with a spoon.

"Almost, just adjust the taste, look at you, still like a child, don't drip saliva into the pot." Zhou Fan said with a smile.

"A lot of people can't accept the smell of mutton, I really don't understand, it's really tyrannical."

"Well, eating mutton in winter and having a glass of mare's milk wine, the days are really happy and pleasant. Hey, no, you haven't been at work lately, so it seems like the holidays have long passed! ”

"I quit my job and am now a vagrant."

"Resign, how many people in your job have sharpened their heads and thought about it, you won't make any mistakes and get fired, right?" She looked at Zhou Fang in surprise and asked.

"I have been doing this work for many years, I want to change the environment, and I also want to continue to learn knowledge in other fields, after all, the society is developing rapidly, and we have to keep pace with the times to not be eliminated by the society."

Uncle's words reminded Zhou Fan that with the rapid development of society, he also has to go to work, and there is an agreement with Boss Hong. But this Boss Hong is strange enough, if you like your uncle, you can confess to him directly, why do you want me to help? Doesn't it say that women chase men's compartment yarns? I don't care about her, she likes her uncle, if she marries her uncle, her uncle will not suffer, she married a rich wife, and she also got 300,000 yuan, but the key is whether her uncle likes Boss Hong or not? Ask him directly? No, if you miss it, it's not dead.

"What do you think? Don't eat yet. Zhou Fang had already finished the mutton, handed her a spoon and said.

"It's nothing, I'm going to work at the restaurant tomorrow, and I might be staying in the restaurant." She said as she lowered her head and stirred gently with a spoon in the bowl.

"Why do you live in the store, you don't have a home to come back."

"It's far away, okay, and Boss Hong said he wanted to teach me Japanese."

"Do you want to learn Japanese? It's not necessary to go to Japan again, right? ”

"Occasionally, there are Japanese customers in the store, didn't you say that you want to keep up with the times? Are you against it? ”

"It's not that it's opposed, it's just that the house is deserted again."

"Uncle, you might as well find someone to marry, so that you won't be lonely." She said with a wicked grin.

"Eat." He said with a straight face.

Zhou Fan wanted to hear him talk about his personal problems, but he didn't say a word, but was a little angry. Where do you start? There is no way to get into it. Zhou Fan first broke the deadlock and said, "That, Lu Xiang's child doesn't talk much, I haven't heard a word from him twice since I went there, there won't be a problem, right?" ”

"Who knows? Maybe it's because I don't know you well. ”

"I like him very much and want to adopt him, but Lu Xiang refuses."

"I don't agree, you can't even support yourself now, how can you support him. You're still very young, who knows what will happen in the future? ”

Yes, I can't even support myself, how can I support him. She lowered her head and ate the mutton, which was obviously very fragrant, but she couldn't swallow it.

Zhou let go of the car to send Zhou Fan to the store, Hong Ling had already arrived, bought a quilt, a kettle, a series of daily necessities, all sorted out, and introduced Zhou Fan to the two chefs in the store, Zhou Fan changed into a white top, tied a yellow bow, coiled up his long hair, and put on a chef's hat. Zhou Fang sat at the dining table, waiting for them to come downstairs.

"Boss Hong, I'm a little nervous."

Hong Ling adjusted the crooked bow, pulled her to look in the mirror and said, "You can do it, you can do it, everything is difficult at the beginning, take this first step bravely, it will be fine in the future, believe in yourself." She encouraged Zhou Fan and said.

"Well, come on Zhou Fan." She looked in the mirror and cheered herself on.

The two went downstairs one after the other, Zhou Fang turned his head to look at them, Hong Ling was three years older than Zhou Fan, her face was always full of smiles, she was also considerate and gentle, she took good care of herself and Zhou Fan, and Zhou Fan felt a lot more at ease in her. Zhou Fan, who wears her hair loose on weekdays, pulled up her hair today, her complexion is much better than before, and there is a lot more flesh on her cheeks, it is great that she can reintegrate into society.

Zhou Fang took the business card given by Shi Tianming and came to the office, and the secretary said that he was meeting guests and asked him to wait in Shi Tianming's office. office

A large desk, the warm sunlight falls on the table impartially. In the corner there is a round glass table with several children's picture books on it.

"Lawyer Zhou is here, Shi is not welcome, and it is no wonder that Shi Tianming said with a smile on his face while holding twice as much coffee.

"For the sake of your face of personally serving me coffee, spare you." Zhou Fang took the coffee in his hand and said.

"Sit, old classmate, I look forward to you every day, and finally I look forward to you."

"Hope for me? That's not good, sister-in-law, don't be jealous? Zhou Fang said jokingly. ”

"She and her children went skiing in Japan, and they will be back in a few days, and I heard that you quit."

"Are you well-informed?" Zhou Fang said in surprise.

"Come on me! It's not blowing, I can make your talent get a better play, I not only help people fight lawsuits, but also accountants, don't look at the few people now, I will definitely shine in the circle in the future. Shi Tianming smiled and looked forward to it.

"I remember when you went to school, didn't you take the accounting exam?"

"You took the test," he said, pointing at Zhou Fang.

"I took the exam, but how do you know, I studied the exam on my own after graduation." Zhou Fang looked at him with questions on his face.

"Grapevine, how about it, do you want to join forces with me, I sincerely invite you." He said with his slender hand outstretched.

Zhou Fang thought for a moment, shook his hand and said, "Okay, I'll join." ”

"With you joining, I'm like a tiger, let it go, brother."

The restaurant has a steady stream of customers, most of whom are students, and the most ordered is pasta. The menu says [udon, soba, green tea noodles] Look at the price, it costs more than a dozen yuan a bowl, which is too embarrassing. The shape of the noodles is round, boil the water to put the noodles in the pot, take out the noodles after they are slightly soft, put them in the soup stock prepared earlier, cook for a while, add the scalded bean sprouts and fungus, and then put them in a bowl, add two more slices of meat to the noodles, take half an undercooked egg, sprinkle with chopped green onions. Isn't that something you can do at home?

Zhou Fan has seen that Japan is a country that eats ramen, do you still have to learn this?

Zhou Fan was left in the store, took off her work clothes, and she began to clean, although she usually does housework at home, but it is not an easy errand to clean the store. She first wiped the two box tables clean, and then wiped the floor with a rag, and scolded secretly in her heart, why should she learn to make a wooden floor if she has nothing to do, and she wants to exhaust someone. Although it was spring, the temperature was still very low, and the air conditioner was turned off, so she put her hand to her mouth and tried to warm it up.

After cleaning, she sat on the floor panting, leaning against the wall. The phone rang, she barely got up to answer it, the phone was called by Hong Ling and said that she would not be here today, let her rest early. As soon as I hung up the phone, the phone rang again, this time it was Zhou Fang calling, "Haven't you rested yet?" He asked with concern.

"It's rested." Zhou Fan replied weakly.

"Are you tired?"

"Sleepy"

"Then rest early, I'll come to see you when I'm resting."

"Hmm" hung up the phone.

When you are busy, your brain has no time to think about anything else, in the dead of night, loneliness will attack you when you are not looking, tossing and turning, please devour me in the night, take my soul to another world, let my soul no longer be tormented.

Zhou Fan looked at herself in the mirror, a pair of panda eyes, the cold water made her sober up a lot, and began to read the Japanese crash book that Hong Ling bought, "Together, together, you, you" What kind of language is this, how is it more difficult than Chinese. She rubbed her temples, "How's it going, is it hard?" Hong Ling walked in with her bag and said.

"It's harder to learn than Chinese." Zhou Fan said dejectedly, rubbing his temples.

"Didn't you sleep well? Look at you've become a national treasure. ”

"Maybe it's a different place, it'll be fine in two days, it'll be fine."

"I bought a computer, it will be delivered today, you can follow the above to learn, you can also watch TV, chat, how bored you are at night."

"You take such good care of me, I don't even know how to thank you."

"You're welcome, when we become a family that day, I will take care of you more."

Zhou Fan understood that there was something in her words, "If you like it, confess, he is unmarried, you are unmarried." ”

"I'm a woman, isn't it reserved enough to speak first."

My self-esteem is weird, I didn't seem to confess to anyone with the army at the time, we were together in a daze, and then I got pregnant, and I didn't even have a wedding ring or a wedding, didn't I have it too? Zhou Fan thought about the past and stared at Hong Ling.

"When did Boss Hong start liking my uncle?"

"I guess it's when your uncle was in college, right?" Hong Ling blushed a little, recalling, "I remember the first time I saw Zhou Fang, he was a freshman at that time, sorting out books in the library, he patronized and read books, forgot about work, was reprimanded by the administrator, many people watched, his face was red, his fists were clenched, and he looked like he was going to beat someone." That was his first impression on me. My brother and he were in the same dormitory, and I told my mother that I often went to see my brother, but every time I saw him, I was panicked, at first I was just curious, and then I liked him more and more. ”

"Is it first love?"

"Sort of, he graduated, I went to college in another province, and I broke off contact, but I've been paying attention to him, he doesn't seem to have a girlfriend all the time, and now I think that we are not small, and we will not treat feelings as sloppily as young people, I want to be with him and form a small family."

It seems that the uncle's sin is not small, causing her to wait for all these years, but in case "you."

What do you like about him, he has no money, he has to repay the loan for a suite, and he has a broken car. ”

"Money is not important, the key is character, not oily, steady, mature and responsible, and handsome, not bothered." Hong Ling is like a girl who has just fallen in love, her cheeks are flushed.

Uncle! Are you Tang Seng in Journey to the West? When I saw Queen Xiliang, I was really unmoved. It's still not sexually interesting to women, and my uncle won't be sick! The messy questions all came to Zhou Fan's head.

Boss Hong can also be called a beauty, 165 cm, she has a face and a figure. There is also a big piece of hardware, which is a lot of money. There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, it takes no effort to get them, as long as the uncle says a word, Boss Hong is his own, why can't he get along with the money.

As the days passed, Zhou Fan's Japanese also improved, the computer could also chat on QQ, and Zhou Fang's work was on the right track. Seeing that the Qingming Festival is coming, Zhou Fan plans to go to Sichuan to pay tribute to the army and children.

Zhou Fang also had to go with him, and Hong Ling also had to go, which made Zhou Fan very embarrassed. The conditions of her mother-in-law's house are poor, and a big boss like her has problems with food and accommodation. I'm not going to see the tour, I'm all going to join in the fun.

A phone call from Shi Tianming called Zhou Fang back to the office, and seeing that Zhou couldn't let go, Hong Ling also gave up, and Zhou Fan stepped on the train with joy.

"That's a good time for you," he said angrily, tossing his luggage onto his desk.

"Big case, big customer, come on." Shi Tianming urged him to go to the conference room.

In the conference room, a couple was really noisy, Zhou Fang stood at the door and looked inside, a shrew really pointed at the man opposite and scolded, "What are you, how did you say that you came here when you first joined our family, you have been good to me all your life, and I am in charge of everything, and now I am outside*, yes, I am old, not as fashionable and beautiful as those young people, don't forget, I still have three children?" Xiao Yuanshan, I told you how you came, and I will let you go back.

*, I'll let you walk around without eating. ”

"If you don't think it's a shame, I'm ashamed of you, three days a big fuss, two days a small fuss, if you really believe me*, then we don't have to go on, I'm also tired, I don't want to explain." The man stood up and pulled the ring down from his left hand.

"What are you looking at, don't go in yet." Shi Tianming held two cups of green tea and asked Zhou to let go of the door.

"Okay! Now that you have money and want to break up, you can, lawyer Shi, you tell us how much property I will divide if we are divorced. The woman said with her hands on her hips.

"Both of you put out the fire, drink a glass of water, Mr. Xiao put away your valuables, two people who have been repairing for ten years have crossed the same boat, and they have been sleeping together for a hundred years, don't easily say divorce, the children are all older, they have reached the age of enjoying their old age, and they are still divorced, think about the children and grandchildren, think about the past together, why must it be to this point." Shi Tianming was chattering like a marriage mediator at the moment.

They want to get a divorce, if you help them, you can get it, which one is Shi Tianming singing.

"Who did you say was the woman you had dinner with last night? Don't say you don't know, you forgot. Chen Jianyun and I saw it with our own eyes. The woman asked

"You saw it, why don't you ask in person." Xiao Yuanshan asked her rhetorically.

"I'm also the president of the Shaw Group, so I have to take care of my face. Besides, Chen Jianyun is also there, in case she talks nonsense everywhere, the Shaw Group will lose face and the stock will plummet. She was much calmer and no longer noisy.

Is this woman okay? The Xiao family is a wealthy businessman in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so it won't be the same Xiao Group! Zhou Fang asked himself uncertainly.

"That's the person in charge of the vegetable base, his name is Du Mei, I don't believe it.

"Didn't she go abroad? Coming back so soon? Her face was full of disbelief.

"She went abroad for the company, and she got those seeds back from abroad, you know."

"How do I know"

"Okay, two, the misunderstanding is solved, let's go, how about I invite you two to dinner." Shi Tianming clapped his hands and said with a smile.

"Good intentions, my blood pressure and blood sugar have risen recently, I don't dare to eat outside, we will invite you another day, I am embarrassed to trouble you every time." Xiao Yuanshan handed the ring to his wife and said.

"It's high again, then you're still eating out, did I drink the tea I bought for you?"

"It's not a panacea, if you drink it, if it goes down, why do you need a doctor."

"Let's go, don't mess with people."

The husband and wife were in harmony and walked away hand in arm.

"Are you in a hurry to let me come back to watch the play?" Zhou Fang questioned Shi Tianming and said.

"They are the gods of wealth of our company, the company's general ledger is with us, and the company's legal affairs are also us, you have nothing to know more about their company, but also understand their relationship between husband and wife, if they divorce, the consequences are unimaginable. I have spare money to buy shares in their company and earn some gas money. ”

What kind of company is it, even Shi Tianming, a rich man, is stammering, it seems that it is time to understand, understand.

Zhou Fan was tired of traveling and fell asleep when he arrived at his hometown in Sichuan. slept until nine o'clock in the evening, Lu Xiang and her mother-in-law waited for her to have dinner.

Multigrain porridge, potato chips, Zhou Fan ate very fragrantly, his mother-in-law's eyes have undergone surgery and are still recovering, but she can see things, and she can't see the dazzling sunlight.

After sleeping for a while, Zhou Fan felt sleepy, and chatted with Lu Xiang, only to know that Pippi didn't speak, and the doctor said that it might be a problem with language expression, and he didn't say that he was ugly. Zhou Fan likes Pippi very much, maybe because she lost her child, she wanted a child and comforted her inner pain.

"Lu Xiang, you see that you are so young, it is better to pass the child to me, I will take care of it for you, the conditions in the city are definitely better than in the mountains, give the child a good educational environment, is it okay?"

"I know you're good for me, but you're also very young, and you're going to get married in the future, and you're going to be affected by how much your children are affected, and I'll take you with you, aren't they all the same? What's more, I am his mother, the child is pitiful enough without a father, and he can't live without a mother anymore, even if he doesn't marry for the rest of his life, I have to raise him to grow up. ”

Lu Xiang's words make sense, but Zhou Fan really wants a child, the child is innocent, like an angel, no matter how hard and tired he is, when he sees the child's smiling face, the exhaustion will disappear without a trace.

A small table was full of offerings, all of which were brought by Zhou Fan from thousands of miles, burned the dead coins, the dead clothes, and added some soil to the grave. Zhou Fan tried hard not to let herself cry, afraid that her mother-in-law would not be able to control herself and cry again, she couldn't cry in her current situation.

Pippi stared at the snacks and toys on the table, these things are deep in this mountain, they are rare things, which made him cry, he wanted to burn them, and Zhou Fan gave them to him to see what the child desperately wanted.

"Lu Xiang, do you want to take your mother and Pippi to live in the city one day? Take your child to look at the sky outside, maybe it will be helpful to talk to him. ”

"I've thought about it, but how to live in the city is the problem."

"You don't have to worry about this, there will come a day, we will live together."

Bidding farewell to his mother-in-law and Lu Xiang, Zhou Fan went back, and made persistent efforts for themselves to reunite as soon as possible.

Zhou Fan went to take out the garbage, Zhou Fang and Hong Ling were drinking coffee together, chatting, the phone rang, Hong Ling answered the phone, Lu Xiang on the other end of the phone didn't hear who it was, so he told him what happened, Hong Ling was dumbfounded.

"Who called? Look at you. Zhou Fang checked the phone number, this is Zhou Fan's mobile phone number, she gave the phone away.

"Zhou Fan adopted a child? Don't you know? Hong Ling was very surprised and asked in disbelief.

"What, she's so." Zhou Fang left angrily. Leaving Hong Ling standing there stupidly, not understanding what she thought.

Hong Ling, who was lying on the bed, suddenly received a call from Zhou Fang, the content of the call was to send Zhou Fan abroad as soon as possible, as long as she was well dressed and fed, and she was not wronged.
