Chapter 069: Pleasing & Self
Ji Lan plans to go to Beijing next Monday to temporarily work in Gu Ying's studio for a period of time, and then go to ask the friends who have taken the tour guide certificate, learn from the experience, and then go back to the province to register for the exam.
On the day Ji Lan left home, his parents didn't know that when he arrived, they were all settled together, called his father, and was scolded on the phone, although he was asked to go home immediately, he still resolutely chose to stay.
During his absence, Lu Xiaomi would often buy some fresh fruits or milk powder or supplements for middle-aged and elderly people to visit Ji Lan's parents, and if it was evening, he would also meet his little cousin, who happened to like to paint, and the two got along very well.
Lu Xiaomi's trips are gradually increasing, Ji Lan's mother doesn't care, and his father always feels that Xiaomi is always bad at running home, so he asks his wife to talk to the child, telling her not to spend money in the future, and don't come to the house often, so that the neighbors of a building can see it.
Ji Lan's mother couldn't say this kind of thing, firstly, she liked Lu Xiaomi's child very much, and secondly, it could be seen that she really liked her own son, although she had done things that made them smack her tongue before, but after all, she was also a child, and now that she has grown up and is sensible, it is natural to be forgiven, and secondly, Ji Lan is not small, and she should have a girlfriend.
Yu Limiao often saw Lu Xiaomi entering and leaving this building, and sometimes met to say a few words, but that's it, there was nothing else to say.
This morning, just seven o'clock, Yu Limiao put on a relatively thin coat and hurried to the bus, meeting Ji Lan's mother on the way.
There are the most people at this point, Yu Limiao stood at the back door, Ji Lan's mother was behind her, and after more than a dozen stops, there were spare seats on the car.
Ji Lan's mother took her hand and sat behind her, looked at her and asked:
"Listen to your mother, you are now working part-time in Tonggangwan in the development zone?"
"Yes, Auntie."
"What are you doing? Have to get up so early? ”
"Clerical class, go to work at half past eight."
"In this way, listen to our family Lanlan, didn't you write before?"
Yu Limiao was a little embarrassed, "Yes, Auntie, you can write at home, I just want some different experiences." ”
Ji Lan's mother stared at her for a few seconds, thinking to herself, it's okay to find a stable job, why bother tossing back and forth?
"That's good, too."
"Well, Auntie, I've arrived." As he spoke, Yu Limiao picked up the bag and got out of the car.
Yu Limiao got off work at half past five, punched out of the company, it was raining heavily outside, and there was no umbrella prepared in the bag, and he was hesitating to go to the station directly in the rain, and a male colleague came out on the right hand.
Seeing that he took a transparent umbrella and handed it to herself, Yu Limiao didn't answer it, because the day she just arrived at the company, she saw him eating tofu from a female colleague, and once she took the elevator, there were a lot of people, and she obviously felt that a hand touched her buttocks.
Yu Limiao ignored him at all, put the bag on his head and rushed into the rain.
It was raining, and the bus was very dull, and he couldn't breathe, Yu Limiao opened a crack, and was warned by the old man next to him with his eyes, there was no way, he had to close the window.
After getting out of the car, it was raining again, and Yu Limiao ran more and more happily, and the splashed water fell on the trouser legs, and soon became black spots.
"Miao Miao, you didn't bring an umbrella?"
Listening to the voice, Yu Limiao paused, "Thank you." ”
"It's okay, I can't imagine that someone as serious as you also forgets to bring an umbrella sometimes, hahahaha."
Yu Limiao didn't speak.
"By the way, has Lan Lan called you recently?"
Yu Limiao was a little surprised, and had to look at Lu Xiaomi next to her: "No, what's wrong?" ”
"It's not much, it's just that yesterday my aunt told me that he seems to be coming back at the beginning of next month, and it's almost the end of the day."
Yu Limiao lowered her head and thought: It has been three months since Ji Lan left, from the early spring to the summer solstice, and there are not many phone calls in between, and I don't know what to do.
Lu Xiaomi saw that she was stunned, knowing that she was thinking about Ji Lan, so she deliberately didn't speak, and pulled her into the corridor together.
"Lu Xiaomi, has he called you?"
Lu Xiaomi laughed out loud when she heard the sound, and held her waist, "Are you jealous of me?" ”
Yu Limiao was disgusted: "It's nothing, you like to talk about it, I'll go upstairs." ”
"Hey, don't go, I'll go up too." As he spoke, he stepped into the elevator and deliberately leaned on Yu Limiao, "Actually, classmate Miao Miao, you are quite grudgeful, and you say that you forgive me, but in fact, you are not." ”
Yu Limiao listened to what she said next, and she really couldn't bear it, "I'm not a saint, and I didn't say that I could hold the boat in my stomach, if it were you, would you forget it cleanly?" I won't talk about it, but you still mentioned it! ”
Lu Xiaomi held her hand, "Yes, you are right, or you are generous." ”
Yu Limiao heard a "ding" sound and broke Lu Xiaomi's hand, "You've arrived." ”
"Why don't you go up and have a look?"
"Nothing to look at, let's go."
Lu Xiaomi watched the elevator door close, and turned around to knock on the door of Ji Lan's house.
And Yu Remiao came home, took off her coat, poured all the contents of the bag on the sofa, took it into the bathroom with the soaked clothes, took a shower, washed it again, and dried it on the balcony.
Qiuqiu burrowed under her feet, poured it full of cat food before stopping, and then Yu Limiao went into the kitchen to open the refrigerator and prepare to cook.
"Miao, are you coming back?"
"Well, it's me, I didn't work overtime today, Dad."
"Oh, that's good, you didn't bring an umbrella today, did you?"
Yu Limiao smiled, put down the kitchen knife and said, "No, I came back and I got all wet, Dad, you didn't bring it with you, did you?" ”
"Hey, yes, it's still the student who borrowed me the umbrella and gave it to me, you come out quickly, Dad cooks."
Yu Limiao closed the kitchen door, "Dad, you go to rest, Mom just sent me a message, there is no need to send dinner at night, she wants to eat hot dry noodles, she will buy it herself." ”
"Okay, what are you doing with the door closed, open it quickly and don't let me in, what are you going to eat?"
Yu Limiao looked at her father like a child, smiled and opened the door, pointed to the crucian carp on the cutting board that had been scraped off the scales and had been gutted in advance, and said, "I want to try the crucian carp tofu soup, Dad, you are the favorite." ”
"Okay, I'll do your laundry."
"Hey, Dad, I've already washed it, so are you, I'm not a child, I don't have to help me with anything, let others know, and laugh at me!"
"Okay, then I'll go and correct the test papers, and when it's done, call me."
When his father went out, Yu Limiao glanced sideways at the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar on the cooking table, imagining that when he was not at home, his father was often at this point, making a two-point dinner by himself, but eating alone, cleaning up the kitchen, and having to go back to the study to mark the student's homework.
Thinking about it again, three days ago, I received a message from a company that did online articles, and I wanted to apply for a job but was afraid that my parents would worry, and I wanted to stay with my parents.
"Remiao, I took your shoes to the rooftop to dry, and now I'm telling you, so that I don't forget myself."
Yu Limiao nodded, "Dad, you can go ahead of yourself, don't worry about my clothes and shoes." ”
Thinking about it, I am really a little princess, from childhood to adulthood, my parents have spoiled me, although the conditions at home are not good, but everything is not less than other classmates, sometimes, other people's families do not have, and I have. I was hardly beaten or scolded.
Now that I am older, I have been away from my parents for more than four years, and seeing them getting older day by day, I can't bear to run out again.
Yu Li Miao stewed fish soup, drew out his tears, and was afraid that his father would suddenly appear, so he wiped his eyes directly with his sleeve, and the pot continued to simmer on low heat, and the other pot began to stir-fry.
When I lived with Zhang Jiani before, I didn't dare to cook hard dishes such as fish and meat, because I knew that my cooking skills were limited and I was afraid of ruining things. Now I don't do it, my hands and my heart are itchy, and I desperately want to please my father.
"Dad, it's time to eat."
"Okay, I'm here."
"Oh, it's so fragrant, your mother is really unlucky today, I can't taste your craftsmanship."
Yu Limiao looked at her father's smile, very satisfied, "Tomorrow is off, isn't my mother on the morning shift?" I'll keep making it for you, and you can eat whatever you want, hahaha. ”
Yu Limiao's father tasted the fish pieces and tofu, "Uh-huh, uh-huh, yes, it's very good to make it like this for the first time." Thanks to the fact that you are studying outside and have learned this, you will not go hungry in the future. ”
"Dad, is it really good, or is it fake?"
"Look, what you said, am I the kind of person who puts a high hat on you?"
After speaking, the father and son burst into laughter.
"By the way, you're suddenly so good, do you have something to say?"
Yu Limiao knew that she couldn't hide it from her father, "That's it, I have a job as an editor." ”
"Where's the unit?"
Yu Limiao: "Dad, don't worry, I didn't agree to apply." On Monday, I plan to go to my current office to resign. ”
"Huh? Is something wrong? ”
Yu Limiao: "It's okay, I've worked for a few months, I've learned what I should have learned, and I've met all kinds of people, I just don't think I'm suitable for mixed careers." ”
"And what are your plans?"
"Dad, if I were at home every day, writing and preparing for exams, would you dislike me?"
Yu Limiao's father held his cheeks and groaned for a moment, his frowning brows stretched, "What's so disgusting about this, you are not lazy at home, if your mother knows, she must be very happy." Dad said one more thing, at home, don't be locked in the room 24 hours a day, go out for a walk appropriately, you, you didn't grow meat at all during the New Year, but lost weight again.
If you can't go on like this, I'll call your mom later and ask her to buy more beef ribs for you to make soup tomorrow. ”
"Dad." Yu Limiao took out a bank card, "This is for you and your mother." ”
"Take it back, your mother and I have salaries, you can take it and buy a few sets of clothes and dress up."
Yu Limiao pouted: "Dad means, I'm dressed very dirty, isn't it?" ”
"Why does Dad think so, your mother often talks to me, saying that other people's girls love beauty, cosmetics, clothes and shoes, and they are all beautiful when they walk outside.
"Mom and I don't belong to the same world, Dad, just listen to it. You must take this money, just as I pay the rent, water, electricity and three meals. ”
"Look, what did you say, what did you eat and drink at home and give money?" Yu Limiao's father was angry and wanted to laugh, "These are all earned by yourself, and you use them yourself." ”
"Dad! I'm begging you, take it, anyway, I have an income for writing, you take it. ”
"Okay, I'll keep it for you."
"And Dad, don't tell your mother about this for the time being, she has a big mouth, she knows, and she told her acquaintances in the supermarket."
