Chapter 147: A Promise
As soon as he entered the door, Liu Chuanfeng saw the figure of Ma Zi who was busy in the kitchen, and shouted, "Uncle! ”
Ma Zi turned his head to see Liu Chuanfeng, and said happily: "Oh, why are you here?" ”
"Tingting said that Auntie is on her birthday today, and I asked the club for leave to come and have a look."
Liu Chuanfeng saw Aunt Xue coming out of the room and said politely, "Happy birthday, Auntie." ”
Aunt Xue smiled slightly: "Xiao Liu is here, come in, your Uncle Ma is talking about you every day." ”
"Happy birthday Aunt Xue, you are getting younger and more beautiful! Oh, this is a birthday present I bought for you! Liu Ying said and handed a small box in her hand to Aunt Xue.
Aunt Xue's eyes were crooked with a smile: "Hey, why is Xiaoying so polite, come in, come in!" Tingting, get a pair of slippers for Xiaoying! Old horse, hurry up and pour tea for the guests. ”
"Hey, okay!"
The horse went to the coffee table to serve water on his own, and Liu Ying hurriedly said: "No, no, I won't bother you if I have something to do later." ”
"Huh? Come in and sit down for a while. Aunt Xue warmly invited.
Liu Ying waved her hand: "Thank you, Aunt Xue, there is really something, I wish you a happy birthday!" The more you live, the younger you get! ”
Saying that, Liu Ying turned around and walked downstairs, turning back to Ma Tingting as she walked, winked at Ma Tingting, and said softly: "Take advantage of the opportunity!" ”
Ma Tingting's face turned red and she didn't answer.
Liu Chuanfeng followed Ma Tingting into the house and asked politely, "Uncle, I'll help you cook." ”
"You can rest, I don't need you, let you taste my chef Ma's craftsmanship today!" The horse laughed and ran into the kitchen again.
Aunt Xue sat at the table and opened the small gift box given by Liu Ying, and said "sigh" gently.
Inside the box is a delicate jade bracelet that looks like it's worth a lot.
Aunt Xue looked at the price tag and sighed: "More than two thousand!" Tingting, Xiaoying's shot is really generous! I gave me such a valuable gift for my birthday! ”
Liu Chuanfeng listened to it next to him, and his face couldn't help but turn red.
I left in a hurry, I didn't prepare any gifts at all, and now I regret that I came to the door so recklessly.
Ma Tingting saw Liu Chuanfeng's embarrassment, and said softly: "People don't take this seriously, she is usually used to being lavish-Liu Ying is the first person in our college to have her own car just after going to college." ”
Aunt Xue sighed twice and sighed: "It's unusual to look at this girl, and there are famous brands all over her body." What's going on at home? So rich. ”
"Her dad seems to be an executive at an investment bank, right? I don't know very well. ”
"I usually have more contact with her, I see that your relationship has always been very good, and you have a good relationship with her, and you can also help when you find a job in the future, and maybe it can also bring some help to your father's business......"
Aunt Xue chattered while admiring the bracelet.
Ma Tingting interrupted her impatiently: "Hey, Mom, can you stop being so worldly?" It's all classmates, why do you have to stammer someone?! ”
Aunt Xue sighed and said, "Xiaoting, you don't understand, in school, it seems that everyone's status is equal, but once you step into society, you will immediately be divided into three, six, nine and so on. A person's family background is very important, and if you have a good foundation, you can work hard for ten years! Mom usually teaches you that to be a man, you must have more contact with people who are better than yourself, and don't mix with those poor children all day long......"
Ma Tingting said angrily: "Mom, what do you call this?" I don't like to be so utilitarian, I like to play with poor children! ”
"You!" Aunt Xue had a tiger on her face.
"Oh, I said Lao Xue, my daughter finally came back once, can you stop doing social preaching again?"
Ma Zizi said with a smile, put a bowl of soup on the table, turned his head and winked at Ma Tingting secretly, and Ma Tingting also grimaced at him.
All this was taken into Aunt Xue's eyes, and she snorted and said, "You father and daughter, don't always take my words as the wind in your ears, when you suffer!" Lao Ma, tell me yourself, I heard that I laid off those workers, and now the company is still so difficult? You are benevolent and benevolent, and now they are turning around and forcing you to increase your salary......"
Ma Zizi smiled and said: "Okay, okay, Lord Xue's lesson is right, it's my fault, I didn't understand your guiding spirit, we are all too low, we should accept your re-education-but, it's a little late today, let's eat first and then continue the lecture, okay?" ”
Looking at the respectful Ma Zi, Aunt Xue couldn't help but show a smile on her face, and then sighed and said, "Okay, let's eat first, Xiao Liu, you can also come and sit." ”
The meal was quite painful, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was very awkward, although Ma tried her best to please his wife, but Aunt Xue kept a calm face.
Halfway through the meal, he excused himself that he was not feeling well and went back to the house to lie down. Didn't even eat the cake.
Liu Chuanfeng said apologetically: "I'm sorry uncle, I didn't come at the right time today." ”
Ma Zizi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It has nothing to do with you, your Aunt Xue has been messing with me for several days." ”
Ma Tingting took a bite of food and said, "Old Ma, where did you provoke her again?" As soon as I came back today, I felt that something was wrong with her, and there was something in her words. ”
Ma Zizi sighed and said: "It's also my fault, the economic environment is not good now, the company's business is getting worse and worse, and there is less and less work." Your mother said let me cut more than half of the workers and save money. Where can I do this? They are all old employees who have been with me for a few years, and they have worked hard together, and now that the business is not good, they have opened, and this is about to be the New Year......"
Liu Chuanfeng instantly understood, no wonder Aunt Xue was so cold to her visit!
Ma's own company is already struggling, but it has to pay a large amount of money every month, just for a promise.
