Chapter 61: Bad Eyes
"I'm okay with my dad, what about you? Are you really just working overtime? Is there anything wrong with you? Are you all right? Yan's mother looked worried, but she couldn't reach for her hand on the screen, and pulled Yan Xue to look at it carefully.
Yan Xue felt very strange when she heard this, the particularity of her work caused her parents to worry more about her personal safety than ordinary people, but now that the mother and daughter have clearly seen each other through the camera, why hasn't Yan's mother's anxiety been completely eliminated, and she still looks so nervous?
"Mom, I'm fine, I don't have a single hair missing." Yan Xue frowned, "Why are you so worried all of a sudden?" What's going on? ”
Seeing that her daughter answered solemnly, Yan's mother finally put her mind at ease, she took two breaths, and said to Yan Xue: "It's okay if you're okay!" It's okay! Has your cousin contacted you before? She came to our house today, and she was very worried about you, saying that she had been trying to contact you recently, but the phone had been going through, but no one answered, and she couldn't send messages, and she was worried about whether something happened to you, so there was no way to contact other people......
She also said that there were accidents on the news when the police were on duty, and the more I listened to it, the more panicked I became, thinking that the two of us hadn't sent a message for three or four days, so the more I thought about it, the more scared I became, I wanted to call you, and I was afraid that if there was really anything, I couldn't see it on the phone, so I sent a video to confirm with you.
Your father wouldn't let me call you, saying that in case you were inconvenient to answer the phone because of work, I would call you recklessly, but I couldn't help it, and the more I thought about what your cousin said, the more panicked I became. ”
When Yan Xue heard this, her brows couldn't help but wrinkle.
This cousin's name is Song Chen, Yan Xue's troublesome little aunt's child, about two years older than Yan Xue, the two of them can be said to be very mismatched since childhood, and they are not very close when they grow up, whether it is personality, character or three views, this cousin is someone Yan Xue doesn't want to get involved with and doesn't want to pay attention to.
"Song Chen is going to chew your tongue again! She did call me before, I have work at hand and am busy with her, ignore her, how can she run to talk to you so nonsense! She was a little displeased.
Seeing that her daughter was angry, Yan's mother hurriedly became a peacemaker: "Forget it, you're fine, I'll rest assured that I'm safe!" It doesn't matter if anything else, your cousin definitely didn't mean it, she hasn't done your job, and her personality is the kind of person who likes to be surprised, it doesn't matter, when she sees you well, my mother is relieved!
Don't blame her, your cousin she's been lately, and it's just a little unpleasant, I heard that it's not going well at work, and it seems that a little can't do it, but it just so happens that her boyfriend broke up with her at this time, so she's in a very bad mood, and a few days ago she yelled that she wanted to go to W City to relax, and by the way, help us see you.
Then you happen to be so busy now, then I'll tell her, let her not go to W City recently, don't make trouble for you at this time, when you are more idle when you look back, she wants to go to you to get together, and then talk about it! ”
"Don't! Don't tell her that! When Yan Xue heard this, she felt that her head was big, "What kind of relationship I have with Song Chen since I was a child, you don't know!" Whether she is unemployed or out of love, it has nothing to do with me, I am not curious or concerned! She can go wherever she wants to relax, even if she comes to W City, it has nothing to do with me, I have no time to take care of her. ”
"Don't say that, it sounds so heartless to talk like this, so that others can hear how to say you." Yan's mother obviously disagrees with Yan Xue's attitude, but she has a soft temper, even if she objectes, it doesn't sound imposing, but more like coaxing others, "I know you're busy with work and tired, and I feel sorry for you, but you can't ignore anyone." ”
"Why can't I? If I ignore Song Chen, can I still have a piece of meat? Yan Xue sneered.
"Yes, you can't miss a piece of meat if you ignore her, but no matter what she says, it's also your cousin! You are an only daughter, and Song Chen is also your little aunt's only daughter, although the two of you are cousins, but your father and your little aunt are real brothers and sisters, and you and Song Chen are also the closest cousins, not the kind of person who can compare with a table of three thousand miles!
In your generation, there are only a few who have their own brothers and sisters, and the closest relatives of the only child are cousins! Mom and Dad are not too old now, and you haven't started a family yet, so you don't have any other burdens except taking care of yourself and handling your work, but you can't be like this forever!
In the future, one day you will also find someone you like, form a family, you will also have your own children, when the parents are old, useless, and the children are young, what should you do then? Wouldn't you have to rely on relatives to help you!
The age difference between you and Song Chen is the least, and you used to make trouble, isn't that because you are young, the two children are not sensible, and now that you are older, Song Chen is also older, it is impossible to be as foolish as when you were young!
I hope that in the future, your father and I will be old and leave this world, you will not be alone, you can have a relative to help each other, rely on each other, your current temperament, I am really not very solid in my heart. ”
Yan Xue's temper is a little hotter, but she has always eaten soft rather than hard, if the other party is unreasonable and messing around, then she must fight according to reason and not back down. If the other party is ruthless, then she can also retaliate with a tooth for a tooth.
However, Yan's mother's soft tone, with her attitude of concern and concern, always made her feel powerless.
"Mom, no, don't be so pessimistic." Yan Xue turned her head slightly, sighed, and adjusted her expression, making her tone more patient and sincere, "I still have friends!" You've seen all of my best friends, right? Xia Qing, Yaya, and Ning Ning, we usually help each other and take care of each other! Even sisters are not necessarily as close as the four of us, and with them, your worries are superfluous!
Besides, how old are you and my dad! According to the age division of the World Health Organization, from thirty-six to sixty years old, they are all middle-aged! You and my dad are in the prime of life! Don't worry about that! ”
Yan's mother sighed again and again at the camera: "Yes, Xiaoxia, I have seen Yaya and Ning Ning, they are all good children, and I like them very much, to be honest, you work in the same unit, and your father and I are also a lot more down-to-earth, but ...... No matter how good they are, they are friends, and they are not related to you, so they are unreliable!
In the future, you will have to start your own family, and your work will be the same, all of you are so busy, and your energy will not be enough at that time, even if you don't interact with your relatives at home, what do people want, how can you leave your own family and relatives alone, to help you as a friend?
Xiaoxue, I know you don't like to hear it, but family affection is family affection, flesh and blood, flesh and blood, broken bones and tendons! No other emotion can compare to family affection! You can't be so ruthless and break the hearts of your relatives, who do you count on in the future? ”
As soon as she heard Yan's mother start the old lobbying again, Yan Xue's anger became more and more uncontrollable, and she didn't understand why her parents' concept of family affection was so deep-rooted, and no matter how she stated her views and positions, she still stubbornly refused to give up convincing herself.
"Mom, don't you think your own theory is a bit untenable?" Yan Xue felt that her chest hurt when she pressed the fire, "You said that the blood relationship is so strong, and the bones are still connected to the tendons, so it is much better for the well water not to violate the river water than to break the bones, right?" There is no reason to break bones and knock on family affection, but it will be heartbreaking if you ignore it!
Let me ask you again, if you want to convince me, do you have to come up with some good examples? Just like you told me when I was a child, be reasonable and convince people!
You and my dad have been with you for so many years, from when I was a child to now, how many relatives have you helped back and forth? How much have you paid? You've done so much, and every time something happens in our family, who have you ever received in return?
I think my friends are more reliable than those so-called relatives, and even if they don't rely on anyone, it is better to carry them alone than to have so many greedy leeches on their bodies! ”
Although Yan Xue's voice was not high, the speed of speech increased more and more with her emotions, and this rapid speed of speech generally indicated one thing - her restraint had reached the limit, and the small volcano was on the verge of erupting.
Yan's mother has watched her daughter grow up since she was a child, and of course she knows Yan Xue's character very well, so when she saw that her daughter couldn't hold back her anger, she hurriedly called Ming Jin to withdraw her troops.
"Okay, well, you are working so hard now, my mother will not discuss these issues with you, and will not cause you trouble! I told Song Chen that my daughter is busy with work and has no time to receive her, and she loves to go to W City! Yan's mother deliberately showed favor and said to Yan Xue, just like coaxing a child with a temper, "You have to combine work and rest, pay attention to rest, and try to eat on time!" ”
Although Yan Xue's anger has not subsided, after all, she can't bear to stretch her face to Yan's mother, she is a policeman outside, and her parents are the most worried and unrelieved, so she is mood is mixed up, but she still tried her best to raise a smile, nodded, and promised Yan's mother that she would take care of her diet and daily life, so she hung up the video call.
Yan's mother's face disappeared from the screen, the phone returned to silence, and the smile on Yan Xue's face couldn't be hung up, she leaned her head on the back of the chair a little tiredly, and the hand holding the phone hung down very casually, and she couldn't tell whether she was annoyed or tired in her heart.
Kang Ge looked at her like this on the side, and didn't hurry to speak, since she met Yan Xue, this girl has been a lively look, like now, "low battery" and quiet, it's really the first time I've seen her.
He sat quietly on the side for a while, and suddenly asked Yan Xue: "I said I didn't hear anything just now, do you believe it?" ”
Yan Xue hadn't been able to completely extract her emotions, and when she heard this, she turned her head to look at Kang Ge's innocent expression, and couldn't help laughing: "What are you doing?" There is such a small space in this car, and my mother and I didn't say anything about the shocking secret of 'can't be for outsiders', why didn't we pretend not to hear? ”
"Isn't that the traditional idea of considering that family ugliness should not be publicized!" Kang Ge saw her smile, and there was a little more smile on his face.
Yan Xue waved her hand: "You think too much!" It's just my aunt's cousin, and her scandal is indeed not small, but it has nothing to do with our family. When my dad and my little aunt became adults, they started their own families, and they have long since become two families, not to mention me and my cousin! ”
"So when you came to work in W City, you should have felt like a bird out of the cage, right? Do you stick your head out of the window, take a deep breath, and raise your arms and shout 'freedom' to help cheer up the atmosphere? ”
"I wish I was really that chic!" Yan Xue smiled bitterly, "You may not believe it, after all, it doesn't look like that kind of person, but in fact, when I came to W City, my mood was very complicated and entangled, and the joy of escaping only accounted for half of it."
When I first graduated and interned, I considered staying in my hometown and being closer to my parents, after all, the two of them, a pair of soft persimmons, couldn't protect me by my side, how could I rest assured that I was not around!
But there was no way, halfway through the internship, I found that if I wanted to work well and work without distractions, it was impossible for me to stay in my hometown, because if I stayed, it would only attract some people to cause trouble.
When I was interning in a police station, a distant relative of my family heard about it, so he came to ask me to help him check a person's personal information from the intranet, I said that I was just an intern, I didn't have that kind of authority, and this was not in line with the regulations, I was complained, saying that I didn't know how to work, let me help him find the master who took me in the office to intercede, check it.
This is not the most exaggerated, the most exaggerated is that I have a distant relative's son, who was fighting with people outside, and happened to be arrested by the police station where I interned, and that relative didn't know who I heard that I was interning over there, and ran to our house to block the door and didn't leave, saying that his son was still young, only seventeen years old, and the days would be long in the future, let me help dredge it anyway, and see how I can fish people out!
My parents scratched their mouths to let them understand that I am not a formal policeman, just an internship, I can't do that kind of thing and can't do it, the distant relative boss is not happy, and in the end it was my grandfather who came out and said to others, the coming day is long, and when I officially work and have qualifications, my family really needs help, and it is impossible to ignore it. ”
