Chapter 13: Relatives in the City

Qi Xiaoyang got out of bed the next day and took the mobile phone to the repair shop first, and the repairer was not sure to get it right, so he could only try it. Qi Xiaoyang went to the clothing stall to buy a new set of clothes and returned to the ward, Keba was able to talk and chat, the two were not very lonely, and the news on TV in the past two days was also broadcasting the situation of this catastrophe, which made them sigh.

Thankfully, the phone was restored, and Qi Xiaoyang was ready to leave the hospital. "Keba, you take good care of your injuries, remember to call me when you are discharged from the hospital, I will come back to see you later. ”

Keba took Qi Xiaoyang's hand, tears appeared in his eyes: "You must remember to come to Lingguang Temple again, although the temple is gone, we will repair it again, and then I will take you to the mountains to see the waterfall and see the tree king"

Qi Xiaoyang asked the doctor before leaving, and he didn't have to pay the medical expenses, which is one of the benefits of our system. After leaving the hospital, I could only go to the station to take a bus to the provincial capital, because the abrasion wound on my foot had not healed.

The provincial capital is called Wulian City, and the first time Qi Xiaoyang came, he felt that the city was really big, there were so many people, and most of the buses were standing. According to the address explained by my mother, it took more than an hour to find the Kailai Hotel on Lianxin Road. This is where my mother Ruan Honglian works, and the boss is a cousin of Ruan Honglian's mother's family. Looking up at this ten-story building, Qi Xiaoyang understood why he had never seen this relative, and he was even worried about whether he could enter the door where he was standing at the door to welcome guests.

"Little sir, are you staying in a hotel or dining?" Unexpectedly, the tall and beautiful welcome lady not only did not make it difficult, but greeted Qi Xiaoyang with a smile on her face.

"I, I'm looking for someone, is it okay?" Qi Xiaoyang asked timidly.

"Of course, who are you looking for, little brother?" Although the welcome lady changed her name, she was still full of spring breeze.

"I went to my mother, her name is Ruan Honglian, and she works in a restaurant. Qi Xiaoyang said busily.

"Ruan Honglian, come on, I'll take you to ask. Yingbin obviously didn't know Ruan Honglian, but he was very enthusiastic, so Qi Xiaoyang thanked him repeatedly.

At a pool in the back yard, Qi Xiaoyang finally saw his mother who was choosing vegetables, jumped behind her excitedly, stretched his head into her ear and shouted, "Mom!"

Ruan Honglian was startled, turned her head to see that it was her son, and scolded: "There is no right way! Xiaoyang, why are you here?"

"Come and see you, Mom, why doesn't your phone turn on all the time?" Qi Xiaoyang called many times but turned off his phone, so he suddenly appeared today. Seeing that the originally gentle and beautiful mother began to appear old at this age, Qi Xiaoyang felt a pain in his heart: "I haven't come back to see me for several months!"

Ruan Honglian sighed and said: "The mobile phone never rings when it is on, it is better not to turn it on; in the past few months, the hotel has been busy and there are few people, and your cousin said that he would only make up for the vacation when he was not busy at the end of the year." ”

"Cousin, which cousin?" Qi Xiaoyang was a little confused.

"It's your cousin's son, he's the general manager of this hotel. Ruan Honglian explained.

"Oh, Mom, you're busy first, I'll stay first, and we'll talk when you're done. Qi Xiaoyang planned to stay with her mother here for two days, looking for an opportunity to persuade her to quit the job.

"Where are you going, do you have any money?" Ruan Honglian grabbed Qi Xiaoyang.

"You don't care about that, get busy with you, I'll come back to you later. After Qi Xiaoyang finished speaking, he broke free and ran away. Ruan Honglian has always been easy-going, shook her head and continued to be busy choosing dishes.

Qi Xiaoyang came to the lobby in front, and the welcome lady who brought him in just now was there, so he said to her: "Sister, excuse me, I want to open a room to live." ”

Yingbin looked at Qi Xiaoyang in surprise and said, "Little brother, do you want to live here?" and then lowered his voice and said, "It's very expensive here!"

Qi Xiaoyang frowned and asked, "How much is the cheapest?"

"The cheapest one is more than four hundred!" Yingbin didn't look down on Qi Xiaoyang, but looking at the stalls, plus my mother was a miscellaneous restaurant, she was indeed not the owner of a four-star hotel.

Qi Xiaoyang thought about it anyway, he only lived for two days, gritted his teeth and said, "Four hundred is four hundred, I will live for two days." ”

The receptionist had to take him to the registration office and let the receptionist at the counter open a room for him. "Sir, please show your ID. The young lady who received it looked at Qi Xiaoyang with a milky face, and said that Mr. was so reluctant.

"I don't have an ID card, is this okay?" Qi Xiaoyang handed over his student ID.

"This" The reception lady was stunned, she had never met anyone who came to stay in a hotel with a student ID, not that she had never come to the hotel, but everyone had an adult with her. "I'm afraid, I'm afraid this won't work, right?"

Qi Xiaoyang saw that the other party was hesitant, so he explained to her: "It's okay, I'm related to your boss, so there won't be any problems." ”

"Oh, that's good, I'll ask you. After the reception lady finished speaking, she picked up the phone, Qi Xiaoyang didn't expect that she would call to confirm such a trivial matter, and she couldn't help but panic, but thinking that she didn't tell a lie, she immediately settled down again.

"Mr. Sun, there is a little gentleman in the lobby, who has no ID card, and wants to use his student ID card to open a room, saying that he is your relative, you see his name is Qi Xiaoyang. The reception lady hung up the phone and said to Qi Xiaoyang: "Mr. Sun said that you should go up, Sister Lin, you can take him up." ”

Sun Yuxiang, the general manager of Kailai Hotel, is 27 years old, and only returned from studying in the United States half a year ago to take over this four-star hotel from his father. Listening to the situation on the phone in the lobby below, I thought it was a little boy from a family who came to the hotel to fool around, and he couldn't get his ID card to play the banner of his relatives, he didn't dare to be presumptuous, there are still many people who can't afford to offend, so let the following people come up, and deal with it as appropriate.

Seeing that Qi Xiaoyang's combined inferior T-shirt, jeans and white sneakers did not exceed 100 yuan, Sun Yuxiang asked in surprise: "Your name is Qi Xiaoyang, and you are related to my family?"

"Ruan Honglian is my mother, and I came to see her. Qi Xiaoyang replied with some restraint, he didn't mention his relatives, who knows if people will recognize it.

"It turned out to be the son of Cousin Ruan's family, and he was really a relative, I should call you little cousin, how did you think of staying in a hotel?" Sun Yuxiang's relatives recognized it, but there was no affection in his tone.

"I don't have a living here, and I want to stay with my mother for two days, so"

Sun Yuxiang interrupted him and said: "That's the case, it stands to reason that I should arrange it for you, but the hotel has a hotel system, so let's do it, I'll let them give you a twenty percent discount, and you can go down and do it." ”

Qi Xiaoyang thanked him, and just turned around to leave, when the door was pushed, a woman with dyed red hair and blue eyes burst in. "Brother, I'm looking for you, who is this?"

"Cousin Ruan's son, who just came from the countryside to see what to fuck. Sun Yuxiang replied.

The red-haired woman looked at Qi Xiaoyang curiously, making it impossible for him to leave, and it was not for him to leave. "Then you have to call me sister, hehe!" Qi Xiaoyang saw that she was indeed ten ** years old, so he had to bow his head and shout: "Sister, hello!"

"Okay, good, really good, what's your name?" the red-haired woman looked at the giant panda and circled around Qi Xiaoyang.

"My name is Qi Xiaoyang, I'll leave first if it's okay. Qi Xiaoyang was looked at very uncomfortable.

"Wait, wait, what are you busy with, we are relatives, let's talk, just came, where are you staying, do you want my sister to open a room for you?" The red-haired woman's mouth was fast, and her eyes flashed blue as she spoke.

"Thank you, I'll do it myself. Qi Xiaoyang hurriedly excused himself, he didn't want to provoke this sister he had just met.

"What's polite, it's okay, you stay first. Sister has a birthday tomorrow, can you play with us in the evening?" the red-haired woman rolled her eyes and issued an unexpected invitation.

Qi Xiaoyang hesitated for a moment and replied: "As long as my sister doesn't dislike me and lose your face, I'll come." "It's really hard to refuse.

"Don't dislike it, it's the best, hehe, there's no need to run away, we'll play in the hotel, I'll call you then!" the red-haired woman said in a continuous voice, looking much more enthusiastic than Sun Yuxiang.

Sun Yuxiang looked at the red-haired girl in surprise: "Sun Ying, you" It turns out that this woman's name is Sun Ying, Sun Yuxiang's own sister.

"Brother, it's none of your business, little brother, you are busy with your going, don't forget to tomorrow night!" Sun Ying interrupted her brother's words and sent Qi Xiaoyang away.

Qi Xiaoyang couldn't wait to leave, nodded and went down to open the room, and then went to the backyard to talk to his mother. Ruan Honglian finished her work, saw the rest time, and came to the room with Qi Xiaoyang. Before it was too late to blame the matter of spending so much money to live in a hotel, Ruan Honglian was stunned by Qi Xiaoyang's saying that he would give up the college entrance examination.

Qi Xiaoyang spent more than an hour explaining to his mother, and although the easy-going Ruan Honglian was still worried, she finally didn't react so strongly, and let Xiaoyang arrange to go out to play by herself, and then go to work. During the day, my mother didn't have much time to rest, so Qi Xiaoyang had to run outside by himself, casually buy some things for the next trip, and didn't eat some snacks outside until the lights came on, and returned to the hotel to fill his stomach. It took more than two hours for my mother to get off work, so Qi Xiaoyang used the laptop she had just bought to pass the time online.

Ruan Honglian didn't get off work until nine o'clock in the evening, and Qi Xiaoyang had another heartache, such hard work was only two thousand a month, which was really speechless. He didn't dare to tell his timid mother about the money he got from Tu Wanlin, and he was thinking about how to mobilize his mother to change to an easy job.

The mother and son talked about eleven o'clock before Ruan Honglian went back to her small room to rest. Qi Xiaoyang knew his mother's character, so he didn't say it too obviously today, but just made some foreshadowing, and finally handed her a letter, so that she could bring it over when she had time to see her father, and then wash and go to sleep.
