92. Hidden dangers in the heart
Just when I was overwhelmed by the stagnant atmosphere, he suddenly turned his eyes and shouted softly: "Third child, what are you hiding?" Come out. I turned around in a daze and saw Zhou Yu walking out of the safe passage with an embarrassed expression.
What's going on?
Zhou Nian swept over lightly and dropped a sentence: "You solve it yourself." Then he turned and walked back to the ward.
I vaguely felt that something was hiding from me, and looked at Zhou Yu suspiciously, "When did you come?" β
Zhou Yu scratched his head and squeaked, "I didn't go to work." β
Meaning...... He's been in the hospital all the time? He came over and took my hand and whispered, "Let's go downstairs and eat, talk as we eat." He dragged him out of the hospital and found a Yonghe soybean milk shop to sit down.
Zhou Yu ran to the cashier and ordered something and returned to his seat, looked at me a little apprehensively and said, "Jia Xiaoru, I told you that you don't have to be angry." I didn't give him a definite answer, I just said, "It depends." β
Zhou Yu paused, revealing a bitter expression.
"I almost got into a fight with the boss when you went back last night."
"......," he said, and I was stunned, "What's going on?" β
"It's not that the boss said that he mentioned something to you about separation at dinner last night, I blew up when I heard it, and he actually wanted to separate us behind my back."
I was very surprised, I never thought that Zhou Nian would take the initiative to mention this matter to Zhou Yu.
"What did you say later?"
"Later, of course, I didn't really quarrel, the boss, you know, the city is deep, and the sister-in-law is here, he doesn't bother to quarrel with me. Then I was educated by him, and pressed that I had to cooperate today. β
I frowned, feeling a little irritable: "Zhou Gongjin, you make your words clear, don't go around in circles." β
"It's not going around in circles, it's actually quite simple. It's that the boss deliberately didn't let me meet you, and he and the second child also retreated first, leaving space for you and your sister-in-law. The main thing is to see how you deal with the little walnut matter, and then the boss brings up the old things again to see your attitude, and I don't have to show up the whole time. β
"No," I wonderedβ"how do you know I'm coming to the hospital today?" β
"With your temperament, you can't ignore the little walnut, and you will definitely come to visit."
Feeling uncomfortable. The feeling of being tempted and calculated is like being slapped in the heart, especially with Zhou Yu's participation, but skipping this discomfort, I want to know the result.
"Is it true or false that your eldest brother said he would take you to the United States?"
Zhou Yu laughed, and was about to say something, when the waiter brought the order to the table. Two bowls of noodles, two big chicken legs, two bowls of soy milk and two fritters, I looked at Zhou Yu, can I finish eating so much?
After the waiter left, he didn't care about the food on the table, but continued the topic just now: "Jia Xiaoru, please think about it with your brain, I'm not a child, I can take it away when his boss said to take it away?" β
I watched him silent, not as optimistic as he was.
To ask a person to compromise, it is not necessarily to use strong means, it can be any way that can impress him, or, to grasp the weakness of the person.
Zhou Yu once smiled and said that his weakness was me, and if Zhou Nian was ruthless enough, he would definitely make a fuss about me.
Just like Zhou Yu back then, he was also not a child anymore, but he was escorted abroad by his father, and it was not necessary to use force. As for what it is, I haven't asked and I have no way of knowing.
"Eh, what are you thinking? You can't really be mad at me, right? The boss just wanted to see if there was a tacit understanding between you and me, and I told him that you couldn't choose to give up on me, and he told me to wait and see. Now I can throw this sentence in his face, Jia Xiaoru, the expression on your face when you just got on the bar with the boss was really cool. β
Zhou Yu looked complacent, completely unaware of the concerns in my heart.
Since the matter was mentioned, I didn't hide it and asked directly: "What do you think of your brother's proposal?" β
"What do you think? Didn't I just tell you, of course I won't go to the United States. β
Fingers tapped twice on the table, staring into his eyes, "I don't mean whether you go to the United States or not, but your intentions for your current career." With dark eyes, he didn't hesitate, and he said, "It's good now, it's dark when you're busy, but you still have a lot of free time." Jia Xiaoru, you won't dislike my low salary, right? β
I glanced at him, "Your salary has something to do with me, when have you used a penny?" Your eldest brother seems to want you to go into business. β
Zhou Yu looked up at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle, I didn't know what he meant, and was about to ask him what he was doing, but he turned his eyes back to me and said, "I have just thought about it carefully, we have been married for so long and have forgotten such a big thing, and my salary card has never been handed over to you." Let's just say why you keep losing your temper with me, it turns out that the reason is here. β
I glared at him and told him to get down to business, and he kept giving me a false reason here. Who asked him for his salary card?
When he saw that my face was not good, he also knew that he had restrained himself and spoke: "You also said that it was my eldest brother, so it was not my idea." The eldest in the family can take over the old man's business, and when I see the second child, I am more chic than me. So you just listen to the boss's thoughts, don't count them. β
Hearing him say that, I felt a little calmer. No matter what Zhou Nian plans, as long as Zhou Yu is firm in his decision. I never thought about how much money my man could make, as long as he had a stable job and was self-motivated.
Zhou Yu's temperament is a little frizzy and self-motivated, but from several encounters with him in the workplace, it can be found that he is very serious and upright in his field. Sometimes there may be a conflict of ideas, and it is always inevitable to have friction and collision with him, and I felt that there was a conflict of values before, but at this moment I feel that as long as I have patience with him, there will always be a time to smooth out the edges and corners.
I'm afraid, I'm afraid that Zhou Nian won't give me this opportunity.
Zhou Nian has become a hidden danger in my heart, and I always feel uneasy when I don't leave for a day. But it seems that Zhou Nian has no intention of leaving, and after Xiao Walnut was discharged from the hospital, he stayed in Zhou Yu's place, but he only stayed for one night and went to Beijing, saying that there was a project to operate there.
After Zhou Nian left, the whole house was lively. Zhou Liang and Zhou Yu staged a small quarrel every day, and they moved every three days, and the little walnut was shouting on the side, Han Jingxue was very calm in this battle, holding a cup of tea and watching Korean dramas by herself, completely unable to move. The diet is all about takeout, and the takeaway boxes at home are almost piled up. The little walnut is still pestering me to learn magic, and I want to change a magic trick casually, but this kid is a thief, and he can't fool him at all.
After three days, I was a little exhausted. It's not that I don't like Little Walnut and Han Jingxue, nor do I hate Zhou Liang, but I can't say a sense of irritability, which mostly comes from emotional fluctuations after the rhythm of life is disrupted.
Privately discussed with Zhou Yu whether to move me there for two days first, and then give it to his brother and sister-in-law, but he couldn't say it. It doesn't matter if he says that the second Zhou Liang is the second child, but now that his sister-in-law lives here with the little walnut, if we, as the masters, avoid it, we will definitely let Han Jingxue have an idea.
If you can't coax the mother and son, it means messing with his boss Zhou Nian.
From his tone, it could be heard that he was afraid of Zhou Nian, not necessarily afraid, but under Zhou Yu's relaxed appearance, he was actually worried. And his words are reasonable, out of human sophistication, it is indeed rude for us to avoid guests.
So I quit the thought.
In fact, as long as Zhou Yu is here, even if he has a falling out, he is tossing, and there is not much to do with me, but he is not allowed to work overtime. On this day, I was just about to get off work when I received a call from him, saying that there was a fire in a certain community and that he had to be there to maintain order. For business, what can I say, on the way back, I passed by the supermarket, deliberately went in and took a turn, and when I came out, I carried two bags of vegetables in my hand, thinking that it would be better to make stuffing and wontons to eat at night.
When I returned to the apartment, I heard the voice of Little Walnut when I entered the door: "Grandma, you take a good look, I'm going to do magic." β
AT THE SAME TIME, MY EYES LOOKED OVER, AND I SAW HAN JINGXUE TAKING THE IPAD TO CONNECT THE LITTLE WALNUT VIDEO, AND THE AVATAR FAINTLY VISIBLE ON THE SCREEN SEEMED TO BE ZHOU'S MOTHER.
I couldn't help but slow down, and Zhou's mother's gentle smile and words still stay in my mind. Since marrying Zhou Yu, he has never had direct contact with Zhou's mother, not even a phone call.
Far from life, I could lie to myself and say it didn't matter, but at this moment I understood that there was no way to leave it alone.
Little Walnut performed the coin magic trick I taught him, although the technique was not skillful at all, but it was also presentable, and Han Jingxue cooperated with him. After high-fived Zhou's mother encouragedly, she asked how Little Walnut learned this magic, and Little Walnut proudly replied: "My aunt taught me." β
At that time, I felt that the space was suddenly quiet, only the heartbeat was thumping.
In the silent reincarnation, Zhou's mother's calm voice rose shallowly: "Who is your aunt?" β
Little Walnut was embarrassed, and turned her head to see Han Jingxue wanting her to help her come back, but she caught a glimpse of me standing by the door. My heart sank suddenly, and before Little Walnut opened her mouth in surprise, I regretted why I hadn't entered the kitchen earlier to avoid this embarrassing moment.
"Auntie, come on, my grandmother asked about you."
At this point, I had to bite the bullet and walk over. Ignoring Zhou Liang's playful gaze when he heard the voice, he witnessed the whole process of getting along with Zhou's mother back then, and I am afraid that he knows the entanglement here.
