Chapter 47: Be Careful When Crossing the Road
"So..., are you good friends with Shu Han? I see you're still going to class together today. ”
Xu Zhuoyuan was a little surprised, and after reacting, he said: "Good friends can't be said, they can be regarded as ordinary friends." Sometimes we talk about studying, and today she wanted to borrow a book from me, so she stopped by my house. ”
Fang Ruo comprehended, nodded and said, "Oh..." ”
Xu Zhuoyuan looked at her stupidly, and added: "By the way, her father also works in the Agricultural Bureau, but he is not in the same department as my father and your father, and he seems to be a high-level leader." ”
Fang Ruo didn't expect Shu Han's father to be a civil servant, but seeing that she was dressed generously and decently in private, she could vaguely see that her family was well-off. After all, most girls from wealthy families are also cheerful and lively in character, and Shu Han is very in line with this.
Although Fang Ruo's father is also a civil servant, because he was born in the countryside and has no background, and he is very honest and responsible, he can neither learn to be attentive and courteous, nor can he have a good relationship with his superiors.
Therefore, although there have been several promotion opportunities in the hospital over the years, he has not been able to get a single chance of promotion. For many years, he is still a small clerk, and some of the people who entered the company at the same time as him have become his bosses, and some of them have been transferred to other places, but he is still standing still and sticking to the status quo.
The most intuitive comparison is that Xu Zhuoyuan's father entered the unit later than Fang Ruo's father, but Xu Zhuoyuan's father is now almost the number one in the bureau. In this way, Fang Ruo's father's career achievements are indeed dwarfed.
Fang Ruo's mother has always been so strong, although she and Xu Zhuoyuan's mother have been friends and best friends for many years, but it is inevitable that good friends will compare with each other, and the comparison is nothing more than work, husband and children.
At work, Xu Zhuoyuan's mother is not as vigorous as Ruo's mother and can lead a large group of people, but she is just the director of a small store. But over the years, her husband has been in the limelight at work, and he has been promoted again and again, which has already made everyone envious. What's more, her son Xu Zhuoyuan has always been excellent, and she didn't worry about studying, so in comparison, she is indeed better.
Fang Ruo's mother sourly ridiculed her husband's inaction at home, she didn't know why her husband was so inflexible, and she still didn't know how to deal with the usual human feelings when she became an adult, she was anxious, and she would help her husband invite some leaders to dinner in the past.
But whenever the atmosphere of talking and laughing at the dinner table is just right, the leader deliberately says some political boundary topics, and he responds very seriously, and the word honesty is not far from his mouth, and he says that the leader is stunned, and the leader on the side has to echo it again and again, but his heart is already angry.
In this way, the leader was even more dissatisfied with Fang Ruo's father, and after a few times, Fang Ruo's mother was also helpless, knowing that her husband was originally a pure character, and he couldn't learn flattery.
Everyone has their own creation, Fang Ruo's father always said that his wife lacked vision and only cared about the meager profits in front of him. He also said that there are some things that you don't know how to do, but that you can't do them.
In recent years, how many corrupt officials have been arrested by advocating anti-corruption and clean government, how can they be greedy to wet their shoes, and it is good to keep to themselves, at least he is happier than Tao Yuanming, Tao Yuanming does not bend his waist for five buckets of rice, he does not bend his waist now, and five buckets of rice still have his share.
Fang Ruo's mother saw that her husband was thinking so frankly, so she had to comfort herself that she had to know how to be happy, and she no longer cared about his career over the years.
"What's wrong? Why don't you speak? Xu Zhuoyuan looked at her with a distracted look.
Fang Ruo waved his hand at him, "It's okay." ”
"The eldest sister of Lou Yu Xiaozhan asked me last time why you didn't go there to play, and I went there to sit there after playing last Saturday."
Fang Ruo smiled: "The boss lady still remembers me." ”
Xu Zhuoyuan said with pride on his face: "Of course, I only took you there, of course she remembers you." ”
Fang Ruo replied coldly: "Didn't you take Shu Han with you?" ”
Xu Zhuoyuan looked at her like a monster, and quickly explained: "Sister Fang Ruo, why should I take her there, I am not very close friends with her, how do you feel that you have misunderstood, but we are innocent." ”
Hearing his words, she felt relieved, it seems that Xu Zhuoyuan has never regarded Shu Han as a special person, but he is special to him.
Thinking of this, Fang Ruo couldn't help but smile on his face.
"Fool, you still laugh." Xu Zhuoyuan laughed and pulled her ponytail, Fang Ruo snorted in pain and glared at him, "You have itchy hands again, how old are you, and you like to mess around like a child." ”
Xu Zhuoyuan smiled, "I like it, who told me to like it?" ”
Fang Ruo looked at his naughty appearance on his face, and also felt that he was really a childish big boy.
After getting off the bus, I walked for a while, and finally arrived at the door of the "Louyu Inn", but unfortunately, there was a sign on the small door that said "Rest today".
Xu Zhuoyuan said with some disappointment: "It seems that the eldest sister has something to do today, forget it, let's go play elsewhere." ”
Fang Ruo proposed, "Okay, then let's go buy some snacks on the street?" ”
"Okay."
This is located in the area of a commercial street, and there are many bustling buildings and shops at the mouth of the alley, and the most unique thing about this place is that it is very secluded and comfortable, which is completely different from the bustling avenue outside.
They walked out of the alley, intending to go to a famous snack street to buy some food. There are a lot of people shopping, and the traffic is rampant, and the surrounding area is a lively and noisy scene.
Xu Zhuoyuan strode forward with the flow of people, and suddenly turned his head to find that Fang Ruo had not followed him, he looked back and found that she was still a few meters away, as if she had been kept by a small stall owner selling fruits.
Xu Zhuoyuan ran over quickly, worried that she was being bullied by the stall owner, "What's wrong?" Fang Ruo. ”
Fang Ruo stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear: "He insisted on letting me buy his fruit, but the price was too expensive, I didn't want to buy it, so he had to let me go." ”
Xu Zhuoyuan guessed like this, Fang Ruo was thin-skinned and embarrassed to refuse others, and the small vendor also found out about her and refused to let her go.
Xu Zhuoyuan directly took Fang Ruo's hand, "Follow me." ”
The little stall owner saw the opportunity and grabbed Fang Ruo: "Little girl, you can't go, I'll load it up for you soon, and I'll weigh you right away." ”
Fang Ruo blushed and said, "I didn't say I wanted to buy fruit." ”
The stall owner said with a sinister face: "I've said it all, you have to buy it if you don't buy it." ”
Xu Zhuoyuan was angered by the vendor's shameless behavior, and he said angrily: "You still buy and sell? We just don't buy it today, what can you do? ”
Fang Ruo hurriedly grabbed him, "Don't worry. ”
The stall owner's face changed, he put the scale on the board heavily, and coaxed him with his waist: "Heh, little hairy boy, don't want to leave today if you don't buy it." ”
Xu Zhuoyuan's face flushed with anger, and he sneered and shot back: "Are you dreaming?" If we go. ”
After saying that, he pulled Fang Ruo forward, but the little vendor stopped in front of them and refused to let them go.
People passing by stopped to watch them, and there was never a shortage of people in the world to watch the excitement.
Xu Zhuoyuan felt that the vendor was a real villain, and he shouldn't be confronted like this, and after a few seconds of rapid brain operation, he said with a smile: "It's exciting, right?" Okay, you want me to buy it, you weigh me, how much is a catty, how much is it here? ”
The vendor thought that his plan had succeeded, and greeted him with a smile and said: "Twenty yuan a catty, here are two catties and a tael, that is, forty-two yuan, seeing that you are a student, I will wipe you a change, it will be forty." ”
Xu Zhuoyuan took the bag in the vendor's hand and weighed it up and down twice with his hand. Although he was not so precise in calculating the weight, two catties was by no means the case, and he estimated that it was only about one catty here, which was definitely underweighed, he thought indignantly.
"Why do plums sell so expensive? Twenty yuan a pound? Xu Zhuoyuan looked at the plums in this bag all looking crooked melons and cracked dates, small in size, and looked like leftover groceries. And such fruits in the market are only four or five yuan a catty, and this stall owner is really good at slaughtering people.
The vendor hurriedly said exaggeratedly: "You don't know, I am a specialty of the countryside, and I don't use pesticides, so I can eat it at ease." ”
"Oh, yes, so let's do it, I'll call the Market Supervision Bureau and ask if this local plum is priced like this, don't worry, if he says yes, I bought all the plums you have here, and you don't want to lose me as a big customer, right?"
Xu Zhuoyuan waved his hand, looking confident, and began to look down in his trouser pocket for his mobile phone.
"It just so happens that I still remember that the number of the Market Supervision Bureau is 12...."
The vendor panicked when he heard the Market Supervision Bureau, knowing that Xu Zhuoyuan was not a good stubble, and saw Xu Zhuoyuan making a gesture to find a mobile phone to come out to call, and hurriedly stopped: "Don't fight, don't fight, I won't sell it." ”
Xu Zhuoyuan raised his head and said with a regretful face: "Don't, why don't you sell it, you just said that you won't let us go if you don't buy it." ”
The vendor waved impatiently at them, "Let's go, let's go, I'm not selling, I'm going to close the stall." ”
"It's a shame that I still want to eat souvenirs." Xu Zhuoyuan raised his eyebrows, and then pulled Fang Ruo, who looked surprised, and left.
After they walked away, Fang Ruo asked curiously, "You really have a mobile phone, I just saw that you were looking for it." ”
"Stupid, where did I get my mobile phone, I didn't pretend it just now, how can I scare him if I don't do this, some people are really like a piece of dog skin plaster, very scoundrel."
Fang Ruo suddenly realized and said, "You are so witty, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do." ”
Xu Zhuoyuan didn't reply, just reached out and grabbed her arm, and said arrogantly: "Pig, be careful when crossing the road." ”
Fang Ruo instantly felt like he had fallen into a honey pot.
