Huang Xiaoya ate happily, and Tan Xiaojuan ate a little awkwardly. Huang Xiaoya's mother basically had some family affairs with Huang Xiaoya during the banquet, what uncle is about to return to China, aunt is an American, grandfather has been in poor health recently, etc. Tan Xiaojuan felt that she couldn't understand the world in which Huang Xiaoya lived. She lowered her head and pretended to be busy eating, she knew that the mother and daughter did not pay attention to her either, and suddenly felt a deep sense of loss. She remembered how welcoming the people of her hometown were to their guests. She couldn't understand why the people in the city she had seen were so cold.

What Tan Xiaojuan couldn't understand was extremely simple in the eyes of the people in the city, who felt that it was very impolite to stare at the guests eating and keep paying attention to each other, which would make people feel uncomfortable. Therefore, usually city people do not show excessive enthusiasm, the purpose is not to increase the psychological burden of others, so that people can enjoy it to the fullest.

That's why people from different worlds feel different ways to get along.

After the three finished the meal, Huang Xiaoya's mother settled the bill. The three of them walked out of the hotel.

"I'll go and see where you live, and I'll go back to the hotel in a while." Huang Xiaoya's mother really wanted to see where Huang Xiaoya lived.

"Well, we're renting a one-and-a-half-room house." Huang Xiaoya has long known that her mother wants to see it, and she will explain it to her mother first.

At night, the street lights in the community were a little dim, and the three of them crossed the plastic runway in the center of the community and went directly to Building 50. Huang Xiaoya's mother changed positions and followed behind Huang Xiaoya.

When she arrived at the door of the room, Huang Xiaoya opened the door and turned on the light. The three of them walked into the room. Huang Xiaoya's mother looked at them quickly for less than two minutes, and then said goodbye to them. When saying goodbye, he added a sentence to let Huang Xiaoya take care of herself, and expressed her gratitude to Tan Xiaojuan by the way.

After Huang Xiaoya's mother left, Tan Xiaojuan was relieved and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Haha, are you afraid of my mother." Huang Xiaoya asked her with a smile.

"Well, there is a feeling that I dare not come out." Tan Xiaojuan immediately admitted it.

"I didn't have many friends when I was a child, and everyone who met my mother said they were afraid of my mother." Huang Xiaoya sighed.

"What is your mother? It feels like the official is big. ”

"It turned out to be the president of the bank, and now I don't know." Huang Xiaoya said.

"You don't know?" Tan Xiaojuan thought this was incredible.

"Well, since my brother died, my parents have rarely revealed their positions and whereabouts to me." Huang Xiaoya sighed.

"You still have a brother?" Tan Xiaojuan felt that Huang Xiaoya had too many secrets.

"Well, two years older than me, he died in a car accident on his way out of school. Since then, my parents have spoken very little. I still don't know why. ”

"By the way, are you still leaving? You didn't tell me what Genmi said? ”

She only said let me think about it again, and she confirmed with Mr. Xia before giving me an answer. Later, it happened that incident, and the matter was over. ”

"Then you're still leaving?"

"I don't know." Huang Xiaoya really didn't know, she just felt a little physically and mentally exhausted.

"Who gave you your flowers?" Huang Xiaoya asked Tan Xiaojuan.

"The owner of a restaurant when I was working as a temporary worker in college." Tan Xiaojuan replied casually.

"Are you old?" Huang Xiaoya asked curiously when she heard that she was the owner of the restaurant. In her eyes, the age of opening a restaurant must be very large.

"Ten years older than me, his wife died." Tan Xiaojuan replied indifferently.

"Ahh Huang Xiaoya was shocked.

"Well, then he's after you." Huang Xiaoya asked.

"Well, it's a long story. I'll talk about that later. Tan Xiaojuan didn't want to continue the topic. Huang Xiaoya had no choice but to shut up, she still had this kind of upbringing.

"Mr. Huang's thing today is quite interesting." Huang Xiaoya suddenly became interested.

"It's like, it's sad, have you watched "Sister Carrie"?" Tan Xiaojuan asked Huang Xiaoya.

"I haven't watched it, I've watched 'Lady of the Camellias,'" Huang Xiaoya said.

"Sometimes, I think everyone has helplessness." Tan Xiaojuan sighed.

"What do you think of this job?" Huang Xiaoya asked Tan Xiaojuan.

"I couldn't have a better choice. For me, making money and staying alive is the goal of life. Tan Xiaojuan smiled bitterly.

"Your brothers and sisters want you to provide living expenses?" Huang Xiaoya asked.

"Yes, they're still in school. My parents had limited earning power. They even forced me to marry, and I told them that I couldn't give them the money if I got married, and they were right to think about it. So let me out. Tan Xiaojuan's tone was full of helplessness when she said this.

"If you want to marry, you have to marry a good family, Liu Yami is rich." Huang Xiaoya was a little excited, she was thinking that Tan Xiaojuan could marry Liu Yami.

"You think too much, falling in love and getting married are two different things, not to mention that he doesn't want to talk to me at all, he and my family are not in the right household." Tan Xiaojuan knows her own weight, and she knows how she wants to live.

"The restaurateur has a child, right? Then if you promise him, you will be a stepmother. Huang Xiaoya is straightforward and fast-talking.

"I haven't thought about marrying him yet. Sleep, do you have to go to work tomorrow? Tan Xiaojuan didn't want to discuss this issue with Huang Xiaoya again, and the question of Huang Xiaoya's resignation that she was concerned about had not been answered, and she felt a little lost.

Huang Xiaoya couldn't sleep after seeing her mother, and she had a little insomnia. Huang Xiaoya felt confused about everything in the future, her parents' requirements for her after her brother's death completely changed, and no matter how good or bad her grades were, they never blamed her again. She studied abroad, she looked for a job, and her parents never intervened. Only when she reached out to ask for money, her parents immediately remitted it to her. Other than these, they rarely care about her love, her job, etc., like other parents. And when she was faced with these life events, she didn't know how to talk to her parents.

Huang Xiaoya tossed and turned, and suddenly Xia Huaqiang's avatar flashed on the mobile phone screen.

"Please notify all those in management positions of the video conference at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow."

"Okay." Huang Xiaoya replied immediately.

At this time, she heard Tan Xiaojuan's mobile phone also ringing, Tan Xiaojuan opened it, Huang Xiaoya glanced at it, it turned out to be sent by Xia Huaqiang, and the content of the message was exactly the same.

"Then you'll let you know tomorrow." Huang Xiaoya suddenly said to Tan Xiaojuan.

"Ah, you got it too?" Tan Xiaojuan asked.

"Well, yes." Huang Xiaoya is getting tired of this job more and more. She even regretted that she shouldn't have replied just now.

"Hurry up and get back to him." Huang Xiaoya instructed Tan Xiaojuan.

"Thank you." Tan Xiaojuan thanked Huang Xiaoya.

After Tan Xiaojuan replied, she began to muster up the courage to say to Huang Xiaoya: "Are you really planning to resign?" I'm different from you, you have capable parents, a lot of awesome friends, and a lot of job opportunities, and the best thing is that there is no pressure in life. ”

"Do you really want to confirm my departure?" The words that came out of the corners of Huang Xiaoya's mouth immediately made the atmosphere fall into embarrassment.

"It's not like that, I just ...... It's just ......" Tan Xiaojuan choked up a little, and the two began to be relatively speechless.

The night was a little quiet, surprisingly quiet, the light splashed on the two childish faces, Huang Xiaoya didn't know for what reason, she turned off the lights immediately. She covered herself in the covers. Tan Xiaojuan leaned on the pillow and let the tears slide down her cheeks quietly......
