Chapter 21 The Corn Snake The boy in the sound of the piano
Xie Lili was embarrassed, and Ji Ling remembered that she hadn't made it clear to her that Ji Xian was the one who talked to her on the 'Anxin Family'.
Pulled the embarrassed Ji Xian on the side and introduced it to Xie Lili.
"I forgot to introduce you, this is my daughter, Ji Xian. That is, the person who contacted you at the 'Anxin Home' before. ”
Xie Lili suddenly realized, and looked at Ji Xian suspiciously, since she recognized herself, why did she pretend not to know her just now and ask her for help?
"My husband left due to some accidents, and I am usually busy at work. Ciel is also cautious, I hope you don't mind. ”
It turns out that this is the case, a big star, still living with his daughter, and he has let go of his resistance to Ji Xian's temptation, such a precocious child is as distressing as her Qiu'er.
"Alright, alright, now that we're all talking. Let's go upstairs first. ”
Ji Xian was pushed in front of Xie Lili to accept her scrutiny, feeling very faceless, and diverted the topic, hoping that everyone could forget about her temptation of Xie Lili.
The two of them repeatedly invited graciously, and Xie Lili no longer shirked and followed upstairs.
"Why are you stunned, let's go."
Jiang Jinqiu, who couldn't figure out the situation, was pulled away.
"Xi'er and I are usually bored at home, but today is really lively. You can try my craft later, I used to cook deliciously...... Yes!!! ”
Ji Ling's screams startled several people, and Jiang Jinqiu and Ji Xian hurriedly stepped forward to check.
I saw that on the Bogu shelf facing the door, a small snake of about 20 centimeters with orange spots on a white background was paralyzed on it.
Ji Xian is a snake, but he is also the most afraid of snakes. As soon as he saw the dense glowing scales and bright red letters of the snakes, his back tingled, and he felt a chill down his spine.
Although the one in front of him looked like he was going to die, it also made Ji Xian's heart flutter for a while, and his steps retreated unconsciously.
Jiang Jinqiu stepped forward and grabbed her hand and pulled her down, her tall and thin back blocked in front of her, and the tips of Ji Xian's ears were quietly dyed crimson.
"This is a corn snake, non-venomous. Look at how fat it grows, its body color is shiny and bright, and its reaction to people is so slow. It should be artificially raised. Looks like it's been a long time since I've eaten. ”
Jiang Jinqiu calmly analyzed, except that Aunt Xie had long been accustomed to her son's excellence, Ji Xian and Ji Ling's mother and daughter both looked at him with admiration and stars in their eyes.
He scratched his head embarrassedly.
"I usually like to read some extracurricular miscellaneous books."
"Xi'er, this can't be your pet or something, right?"
Ji Ling recovered from the fright and looked at Ji Xian with great apprehension. Could it be that Xi'er still has this 'special hobby'? Ji Xian hurriedly raised his hands and shook his head frantically.
"Wronged!"
She doesn't know how to keep snakes, okay! It's so terrifying, she can't hide, how can she raise it.
"Let's get it away first!"
It would be nauseous to look at it more, and Ji Xian resisted the urge to jump to find a towel.
"Jin Qiu, help Miss Xi'er get this thing down."
Xie Lili saw that Ji Xian and the two were frightened, and hurriedly urged Jiang Jinqiu to get rid of the corn snake on the Bogu shelf.
Jiang Jinqiu gently picked up the little snake on the shelf with a towel, Ji Xian took a box on the bar and opened it, there was a card inside, she didn't have time to look at it carefully. Take out the card and hand him the empty box.
After this episode, Ji Ling said that she would not eat at home, inquired about the tastes of Jiang Jinqiu's mother and son, asked the assistant to help her set the position, and quickly transferred several people.
Ji Xian took out the card he had just taken out of the box in his pocket and glanced at it, and at this glance, he knew the real origin of the corn snake that frightened them.
'Dear neighbor, please smile at the little greeting gift. Xiaoyu No. 3 is very well-behaved, please nurture it gently! ’
"Holy!"
Ji Xian popped out a swear word that he didn't know where he learned.
It turned out that the snake was in the box sent by the neighbor, and the neighbor was terrible! didn't make it clear to her and her mother, so I just sent this little guy here, which was really scary.
"What's wrong?"
"I know how the snake got there."
"Where did it come from?"
"I blame the meeting gift from our 'good neighbor', I didn't open it when I brought it into the house to see what it was."
Xie Lili and Jiang Jinqiu glanced at each other suspiciously.
"Sent by a neighbor? Do you have any holiday with him? ”
Ji Ling hit the steering wheel with his hand and shook his head helplessly.
"I met once, and when I went out that night, I met him to pick up takeout, a very beautiful boy, who looked quite smiling, and greeted me."
"It doesn't look like he's a few years older than Ciel, but I didn't expect to be a prank-pranking kid."
Today's children are really rebellious, and the neighbors they just met are like this. Ji Ling deeply felt that he had a deep generation gap with Ji Xian's generation.
The restaurant booked by the assistant is a Chengzhou home-cooked restaurant, located in Block A, Building 6, Courtyard 3, Fengming Road, Ginkgo Avenue, called 'Chengjia Xiaoyuan'.
"Hello, welcome to Chengjia Garden. Do you have an appointment? ”
The front desk lady politely received a few people and asked them routinely.
On such an occasion, how familiar she was to herself, Xie Lili looked at the gorgeous decoration of the store with emotion.
Jiang Jinqiu looked unmoved. Ji Xian noticed the expressions of the two, the nostalgia on Aunt Xie's face and Jiang Jinqiu's calmness made her feel that these two people were definitely not ordinary before.
"A gentleman surnamed Yu booked it, listen to the Yuge box."
Ji Ling took off her sunglasses, and the front desk immediately recognized her. checked the ordering information, and sure enough, it was Ji Ling, the actress surnamed Yu, who had instructed her. Hurriedly called the manager of the private room on the third floor to send Ji Ling and his party upstairs.
Today's light rain is suitable for dining in Tingyu Pavilion. Accompanied by the shallow chanting and low singing of the performers downstairs, it makes people feel relaxed.
As soon as a few people sat down, they felt the warmth of the room. Ji Xian and Jiang Jinqiu, the two children, were attracted by the music downstairs, Xie Lili couldn't make up her mind, and the task of ordering food fell to Ji Ling.
The manager listened to Ji Ling's needs and carefully recommended dishes to her, Ji Ling finally finalized the dishes after asking a few people's taboos, and the manager was busy placing orders.
'Chengjia Garden', which at first glance sounds like a small jasper, the main attraction of this home-cooked restaurant in Chengzhou is the weekly musical performance, in addition to the delicious dishes.
They are all well-known musicians in City A and even Chengzhou, which is due to the help and support of 'Chengjia Xiaoyuan' to musicians in Chengdu over the years.
Jiang Jinqiu was attracted by the performance, lifted his steps and walked downstairs, Ji Xian also wanted to feel it up close, and said hello to Ji Ling and went downstairs.
"I don't know what you call it yet, I think you already know that my name is Ji Ling and I am an actor."
Ji Ling took the teapot on the table and poured a cup for Xie Lili.
"My name is Xie Lili, and I've been doing housekeeping for three years."
Ji Ling nodded, in his early thirties, he had some insight. But I chose to do this, it seems that there are a lot of unknowable pasts.
However, she was not interested in her past, and if there was hope, who would choose such a job at this age.
"I don't hide it, I just say it. My daughter is still young and needs to be taken care of, and I can't take time off most of the time because of my work. ”
"So I needed someone who could take care of her around the clock, preferably a live-in aunt. I am very optimistic about your moral ability, and I will give you five times the salary on the market. See if you'd like to think about it. ”
Ji Ling learned that Xie Lili's family lived in an urban village in Xicheng District, City A, a little far from the city center. In addition, Jiang Jinqiu can only live alone, which is a very tangled choice for her.
But she hopes that Xi'er can get the best service, if she doesn't want to, Ji Ling has also thought about it, and she can hand it over to the assistant to slowly find someone who meets the requirements.
Five times the salary! According to her current working years, if she is an ordinary live-in aunt, it will be more than 10,000 yuan per month. Five times is 50,000 per month, Xie Lili admitted that she was moved.
Her bank credit has been so bad that she can no longer lend a penny. On one side is the money owed, and on the other hand, Yuying's start of school is imminent, and she has no room to shirk this condition.
In this way, there is only Jin Qiu. Although Xie Lili knew that Jiang Jinqiu would not blame herself, she was still full of guilt for him.
"Ms. Ji, I can."
This job is like a ray of light in the darkness, and it is the only hope that Xie Lili can grasp.
Ji Ling wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible, so she could take the time to solve Jinna's matter. Xie Lili had no opinion, and the two hit it off. Discuss that tomorrow we will go to the 'Safe Home' service center in City A to sign the contract.
In the middle of the conversation, the dishes were also served one after another.
Suddenly, there was a pleasant piano sound downstairs, which complemented the original guitar sound, and the cheerful piano sound dispelled the melancholy of the singing, bringing different sensory experiences to the listeners.
Ji Xian stood on the edge of the stage and looked at Jiang Jinqiu on the stage in surprise.
Just now the two came here to watch the performance, Ji Xian said.
"It's a gloomy and gloomy day, and listening to such a low and sad song makes people feel a little depressed."
Seeing that Jiang Jinqiu was also fascinated by it, he asked him, "Do you know what musical instrument?" ”
"I know a little bit about the piano."
The young man's bright eyes, the corners of his wanton mouth are clearly not a little understood.
She begged the staff with her heart, and when she got permission, she pushed him on stage to perform. I didn't expect him to play so well.
For a while, the people who were dining were attracted one after another, looking at the piano boy in the corner of the stage, the dim light hitting his head, and the temperament brought to him by the music made people ignore the shabby clothes he bringed.
With a gesture of self-exuberance, his clear face contrasts with the gorgeous scene around him. It's like an immortal envoy who strayed into the mortal world.
"I didn't expect Jin Qiu to have such a high piano attainment, this must be cultivated well!"
Ji Ling is also a person with some musical taste, although she can't play, she can listen. Her ears are notoriously picky.
"It's over."
Xie Lili shyly accepted her compliment.
Only she knows how much effort Jin Qiu, the kid, has put in behind the scenes for the piano he loves.
