Chapter 26: Awesome My Daddy
"0:17:33 on the 29th. ”
This is the countdown from Zhao Xu's perspective after eating with his father.
"The first day has passed. Zhao Xu pushed his glasses, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, he always felt very comfortable wearing glasses, and from the first time he put on these glasses to this moment, it had only been more than a day, and he was actually used to it.
Zhao Xu adjusted Lao Zhao's favorite TV series and watched it with him, but his mind was not on TV, but he was clearing his thoughts in his heart.
It was only the first day when I returned to Earth from the other world of that "Mountain and Sea Chart".
In this day, Zhao Xu went from the ecstasy of returning to Earth at the beginning, to the surprise of being confessed by his female boss after calming down, to the happiness of verifying his body mutation when he was shocked by a thief, and finally to meeting the woman named Murong Nana and the weird pendant around her neck.
I was able to enter the "Secret Treasure Land" once a month, and I thought that with such an exaggerated adventure, it was already a miracle among miracles, but I didn't expect to meet other "of the same kind" as soon as I came back.
It seems that he is definitely not the only one who has "adventures", and the reason why he has never heard of it before can only be said that he did not have that qualification before, or rather, he is lonely and unheard.
"Be low-key, you have to be low-key. Zhao Xu's vigilance is very heavy, just like a newcomer who has just entered the industry to start a business, even if he is in a hurry to make money, he must first find out the market.
"That Murong Nana...... Maybe it's a breakthrough. Zhao Xu thought in his heart, on the first day he returned to Earth, he met other "strangers", from another point of view, it was actually not a bad thing.
At that time in the morning, Zhao Xu just instinctively felt that Murong Nana's necklace was too dangerous and could confuse people's hearts, so he spoke out to stop it, but now he is not in a hurry - if the company really doesn't hire Murong Nana, then where will he study her again?
“...... Oops, baby, don't worry...... Your son is full of oil, and he praises the deliciousness...... Well, that's of course...... Okay, rest assured...... Of course I wash my feet before I go to bed......"
Zhao Xu's thoughts were pulled back to reality by his father's voice, and it turned out that his mother had called.
"Alright...... Do you want to say a few words to your son?" Lao Zhao glanced at Zhao Xu, "Don't say it......?" Okay, okay, I'll ask, just you're fine, the bad guy always lets me be the ...... Okay, then I'll hang up. ”
Lao Zhao hung up the phone, and did not watch his anti-Japanese TV series, but stared at Zhao Xu's side face with a smile, even if the "martial arts master" on TV tore the Japanese prisoner to pieces with one hand, it failed to attract his attention.
"Son, your mother let me ...... Oh no, it's me who wants to ask you, my daughter-in-law...... That's not right, your girlfriend, how are you talking?" asked Lao Zhao.
Zhao Xu has never said to the second elder, in fact, he has broken up with his ex-girlfriend for three years, the reason, everyone understands, what the old people hope most is that their children will get married as soon as possible and hold their grandchildren as soon as possible.
"You said that you are really, you have been talking to people for almost 4 years, right? Don't take people back to your hometown, let your relatives and neighbors see it, and let my old Zhao have a long ......face" Old man Zhao looked at his son expectantly, "Don't keep hanging other girls, give people a name, how many good years can your daughter's family have for 4 years? Besides, Sister Ma next door to our house has said that I have never heard your girlfriend and your mother call to say hello, and it's okay to send a text message, everyone in the village is gossiping." ”
Rural people pay heavy respects, in the eyes of other people in the village, the daughter-in-law of the butcher Lao Zhao's family has not yet married, she has shown a cool temperament, she has never understood what to shout and ask for warmth, she has never seen her visit or talk about it, and she has not even sent a phone message once, in Zhaojia Village, even the worst relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is much better than this.
"Dad, didn't I tell you at the Dragon Boat Festival? She just went to study abroad in the first year of the year, and she can't come back for the New Year, and Western foreigners are only for the Spring Festival, so she doesn't have a holiday during the Spring Festival. Zhao Xu stubbornly continued to lie.
The smile on Old Man Zhao's face gradually disappeared, and he stared at Zhao Xu's eyes very seriously and said: "Son, your mother and I love to watch emotional TV programs when we have nothing to do at home...... Son, don't blame me for being foolish, that girl treats you...... Is it sincere?"
Zhao Xu took a deep breath, Mom and Dad are very awesome, now they are even familiar with the routine of "spare tire"?
"Dad, don't worry, feelings, it's all about going with the flow...... You and my mother are still childhood sweethearts, if you compare time, you two can talk for 20 years before getting married!" Zhao Xu tried to retort.
"Stinky boy!" Lao Zhao's voice suddenly became louder, and his leopard eyes glared: "When I was your age, you were already catching crickets in the field! What about you? Your girlfriend is still flying abroad! I said smash, you can grow a little heart!"
"Dad, times are different......" Zhao Xu was still about to explain, when suddenly the mobile phone rang, and Li Jing called him.
"Hey, leader. Zhao Xu stood up and walked to the side to answer the phone, it was really good to avoid his father's questioning, he was very grateful to Li Jing for the call at the moment.
"Are you at home, have you changed the locks or anything?" asked Li Jing on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, it's all right, Leader Xie cares. Zhao Xu replied nonchalantly, although Li Jing had already confessed to him, he was not the kind of person who climbed up the pole.
"It's all said that don't call me 'leader' in private!" Li Jing said, "It's better to call me by my name than 'leader', it's too angry." ”
"Well, okay, Li Jing. Zhao Xu rolled his eyes, not because of Li Jing's request, but because his father was deaf and clear-sighted, and he heard Zhao Xu talking to a woman on the phone a few meters away, so he cheekily rubbed it over, as if he wanted to "eavesdrop".
As for the son who called the other party "leader" at the beginning, so what? When Zhao Xu's mother was the director of the Women's Federation, didn't he just call her "director" in private? This is called fun.
"That's right, Ling...... Li Jing, that Murong Nana, have you studied it with the personnel department? Are you hired?" Zhao Xu pushed his father's big face and deliberately talked about things at work, of course, this is also what he cares about, if he is hired, he can "secretly observe" and see if he can find more "strangers".
"That little girl is very good, the HR department has already sent her an employment email, and she can come to the onboarding procedures tomorrow. Li Jing replied, "The personnel department also said that if she performs well during the internship, consider recommending her to the head office." ”
It seems that hours have passed, and the influence of the necklace worn by Murong Nana on them is still there.
"Okay, I see. Zhao Xu said, "Then what is the matter with you calling me?"
"It's nothing...... Have you had dinner?" Li Jing on the other end of the phone seemed to be a little nervous, "I want to invite you to dinner, come to my house, I just learned how to make a few side dishes......
"I've eaten ......" Zhao Xu didn't finish speaking, but his father covered his mouth hard, and said loudly into the microphone: "Big girl, I am Zhao Xu's father, you didn't eat dinner, and my son didn't eat either!"
