Chapter 57 Mandarin Duck Hot Pot
Hao Lili didn't think about it, and only raised a finger at the waiter: "Mandarin duck pot." Staring out the window at his car, in a daze.
Several times, her boss Xiao Xifeng has hinted that she can consider changing her car! A car is the face of a person. However, Hao Lili ignored her boss's hints! She always thinks that a woman's real maintenance should be her face, not a car that can be replaced at any time.
Therefore, the cosmetics she uses are the best and the most expensive. Domestic cosmetics brands are almost impossible to get into her eyes. Her point of view and that of Xiao Xifeng, as her direct boss, are almost to the left.
Xiao Xifeng, who is nearly forty years old, is already a mother of two children, and her husband Xu Kun was originally the manager of a property company! I can get more than 7,000 yuan a month. In the average office worker, such a salary is very good!
However, Xiao Xifeng, who was an ordinary salesman at the beginning, naturally did not feel at ease because her husband's salary was higher than her own! She feels that only the money she earns can be used steadily! Therefore, it was only 20 days after giving birth to her daughter, and it was not yet the time of confinement, so she directly canceled her leave and continued to return to work.
In the same year, she completed the task of annual sales of over 100 million yuan, and became the sales supervisor in the southwest and northwest regions in one fell swoop! That year, Xiao Xifeng was not yet 26 years old, and her monthly salary was much higher than her husband's!
After becoming a sales executive, Xiao Xifeng was so busy that she rarely went home, and her husband had to go to work again. As a result, it has become a huge problem for the couple to take care of the children.
In desperation, Xiao Xifeng had no choice but to discuss with her husband and take her mother-in-law from the countryside to Guancheng to take care of the children for them. On the side of his parents, his father had been bedridden for several years due to a stroke, and his mother, who had not retired at that time, had to go through the procedures for retiring in advance to take care of his father at home full-time.
The mother-in-law came to take care of the children for the couple, and the couple finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, the mother-in-law in the countryside always likes to play a little mahjong! Although it is not a big gamble, as long as I have time, I like to invite the old ladies of the neighborhood to come to the house to set up a small square table to play mahjong.
Whenever she played mahjong, she always sandwiched her granddaughter between her knees. Or put it directly in the stroller, mahjong is always her first!
Originally, Xiao Xifeng's work was already very busy, but as soon as she went home, her mother-in-law would whisper in her ear how good the breastfed child was and how the milk powder-fed child was not good.
Xiao Xifeng didn't know? Therefore, all she gave her daughter was imported milk powder from abroad! She explained to her mother-in-law, but her mother-in-law told her that it was better to spend some money than to breastfeed! In this regard, she is very helpless!
The deepest blow to Xiao Xifeng was one day when her daughter was one and a half years old, she went to the United States to participate in training, and as soon as the plane landed, she received a call from her husband, saying that her daughter had entered the hospital and told her to go back quickly!
When Xiao Xifeng rushed home non-stop, she learned that her daughter was scalded by boiling water and went to the hospital.
Although the doctor's efforts were exhausted, he unfortunately left a scar on his neck.
Afterwards, the mother-in-law's explanation was that she was choosing vegetables in the kitchen, and her daughter knocked over the boiling water bottle on the table!
However, what Xiao Xifeng got from the neighbor's small talk was that her mother-in-law was playing mahjong at the time of the incident, and she didn't hear her daughter tell her to drink water. So, I knocked down the boiling water bottle!
According to her mother-in-law's habit of playing mahjong, Xiao Xifeng can naturally judge who is telling the truth. However, Xiao Xifeng did not make her mother-in-law ugly.
Xiao Xifeng, who has many years of experience in working life and dealing with countless people, is not very good at dealing with people's problems. But she understands that since this is the case, there is no point in pursuing and questioning again, but it will increase the contradictions in the family, especially the contradictions between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!
Whenever she bathed her daughter and saw the scar on her daughter's neck, Xiao Xifeng felt heartache.
Although she did not hold her mother-in-law responsible, she no longer dared to ask her mother-in-law to help take care of the children! As a result, the couple fell into a situation of worrying about taking care of the child again!
According to Xiao Xifeng's idea, according to her current income, she should simply go to the talent market to find a suitable nanny! But her husband Xu Kun doesn't think so, he thinks his mother can't believe it, and he's willing to believe outsiders? Then, he struck while the iron was hot, and listed a series of news about the nanny's bad behavior, such as the nanny's abduction and trafficking of children, child abuse, and so on!
My husband hesitated again and again and said that since you don't let my wife help take care of the children, then you should quit your job and take care of them at home! Husband Xu Kun's words made Xiao Xifeng like a lightning strike.
Although at that time, compared to many office workers, my husband's job was not bad! But his monthly salary is more than four times that of him, nearly five times, if he resigns. This family, plus the child's monthly milk powder money, can't make ends meet!
However, coming out of the countryside, Xu Kun, who has always had traditional thoughts, felt that there was no reason for a man in the world to quit his job and take care of his children at home. For this reason, the couple quarreled a lot.
Eventually, unable to make a decision, the couple finally decided who would be at home with the children by drawing lots. However, Xu Kun, as an honest technical man, does not have any fancy intestines. The paper ball was written by Xiao Xifeng. She wrote both notes: The words "husband is at home with the child", take it to Xu Kun to draw first!
The results are obvious. Xiao Xifeng's job was retained, and her husband had to resign and go home to take care of the children. She was glad that her husband didn't find out what he had done!
Actually, she didn't know that her husband just wanted to find a step for herself and her. After all, her husband Xu Kun himself also understands in his heart that if his wife resigns and takes care of the children at home, his dead salary is obviously not enough for the family's expenses. However, he couldn't pull it off. Therefore, he relied on his wife's small abacus.
Now that I think about it, how rational the original decision should have been for both his wife Xiao Xifeng and her husband Xu Kun. In the face of skinny and real life, any kind of face is. Only being able to solve real problems is the last word.
However, shortly after the birth of their second child, Xiao Xifeng overheard the eldest daughter talking about their father and an aunt......
Xiao Xifeng couldn't bear it anymore and divorced her husband Xu Kun directly. She is responsible for all child support. After the second child turned six, she enrolled them in a full-time care facility.
The soup in the pot was boiling back and forth, and Hao Lili added a lot of vegetables to both the clear soup and the red soup, and the dishes in the pot were fragrant.
Just as she was about to begin to soothe her stomach, which had been hungry all day. A voice sounded in her ears: "Hello Miss, do you have anyone else here?" Can I share a table with you? ”
A burly man stood in front of her, the man was in his thirties and a height of 1.85 meters. Hao Lili looked up at him in surprise. I thought to myself, looking at the "stupid lack" of eating hot pot alone in this huge Guancheng, it seems that he is not alone.
Seeing that Hao Lili seemed to be a little hesitant, he continued: "Don't worry, I won't eat the overlord meal, or I can spread more meals, I'm a man!" ”
"No, please take a seat, it's no problem for me to invite you to this hot pot!" Hao Lili was amused by him and said generously! When I looked up, I saw that the hot pot restaurant that still had a lot of vacant seats when I came in just now was already full at the moment.
"A treat should also be a gentleman's treat, how can you let a lady treat you?" The man laughed, and so did Hao Lili.
The man introduced, his name is Tu Cheng!
"Wow, Tu Cheng, it seems that you are really not simple!" Hao Lili quipped!
"Miss, you misunderstood, although Tu is the butcher's butcher's butcher, but the word sincerity is honest sincerity, my father's surname is Tu, my mother's surname is Chen, and Erdong Chen's is that. However, since I was a child, my parents have asked me to be honest and trustworthy. That's why I was given this name. It's not as scary as you say! He laughed.
"Hao Lili!"
"Good, Lili! As soon as I saw you, you were a good lili! This time it was Tu Cheng's turn to joke with Hao Lili.
"It's Hao next to Chizi Jiabao's ear!" Hao Lili's face was slightly red, and she explained in a low voice!
Although outside of work, Hao Lili is still a person who can play freely, but in front of the opposite sex, her shyness still can't be concealed.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and each other seemed to have a feeling: "We seem to have met somewhere"!
"Why did you come out to eat hot pot as a girl?" The two of them were boiling hot pot and thinking for a long time, but Tu Cheng finally asked what he wanted to ask!
"I came out to do errands temporarily, and suddenly I wanted to eat hot pot, so I called to make an appointment, but everyone couldn't come, so I had to come alone." Hao Lili replied unhurriedly, hoping that the secret in her heart would not be discovered by the other party.
In fact, how can anyone have something unspeakable in their hearts?
"What about you? Why is it a person! Seeing that the other party had already asked herself like this, Hao Lili also released the curiosity hidden in her heart.
"I was originally two people, but after coming here to eat hot pot, I became one person!" He hid the sadness in his heart with a somewhat reluctant smile. It's just that his formulation is not appropriate. Because, after this hot pot, the arrangement of fate made her really no longer a person. However, no one has a book of the future in their hands, and no one knows the future, and no one can guess it.
Hao Lili noticed that the man in front of her who had been smiling at herself was actually slightly red under his eyes, but he couldn't detect it if it wasn't for close and careful observation! Perhaps, men are better at hiding their sorrows than women.
"You're out of love?" Even a woman as shrewd as Hao Lili in the workplace, Hao Lili, who has dealt with countless people of all kinds, still doesn't know how to express and comfort people tactfully when facing other people's falling out of love!
Even if she is about to turn 30 years old at the end of the year, her career can be regarded as a boom among women of the same age, but the emotional world is still blank. In the past few years, many customers used to ask her in chats, such as Are you married? Got an object?
Now, customers are asking, "How old are your children and what does your husband do?" Normally, she would have been vague! When she was really asked and had to answer positively, she simply told the other party that she was an unmarried family and everything was career-oriented. The hard work now is all about preparing for the future retirement.
Although, she also tried to fall in love a few times, but when the other party went on a date or twice, she thought about "going to the kidney". This disgusted her.
