The ticket was at half past one in the afternoon, which was quite awkward. Check-in needs to arrive at the airport two hours in advance, if you change to a small city, it doesn't matter, but in a place like Beijing, the airport is built even bigger than some smaller towns, and it is really easy to be late when you pinch the time. If you go early, you can only eat at the airport. As we all know, in addition to being expensive, the restaurants in the airport are not delicious.

It's not that Zuo Jiaqi has to book a ticket at this time, but that there is only this one flight from Beijing to Shangjing today.

Hurried to the airport, hurriedly checked in, and hurriedly found a restaurant that looked okay for lunch, and the time had come to half past twelve. Fortunately, this flight can be boarded directly from the covered bridge, and there is no need to take the shuttle bus, otherwise it will be even more troublesome.

At half past one, the plane took off smoothly, and Bai Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief, which was in a hurry, giving him a feeling as if he had reported a rush group.

More than two hours later, the plane landed at Shangjing Airport, and it was almost four o'clock when I left the airport. The two went straight to the parking lot, Zuo Jiaqi made a phone call, and in less than a minute, a man in a suit ran over and handed Zuo Jiaqi a car key: "Mr. Zuo, the car is over there." ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for you to run." Zuo Jiaqi nodded politely.

"It's not troublesome, it should be." The man hurriedly said: "Then Mr. Zuo, I will leave first, you can call me at any time after you finish using the car, and I will pick it up." ”

After the man left, the two went to the car, which was not a luxury car, an Audi A6.

"Do we have business here?" Bai Lu sat in the co-pilot, after all, Zuo Jiaqi was a local, so he didn't rush to drive.

Zuo Jiaqi shook his head: "No, but I have cooperated with some companies, and I borrowed a car from them." ”

After getting in the car, Zuo Jiaqi drove the car out of the parking lot, and there was no need to navigate, it was very familiar at a glance.

"Sister Jiaqi, is your home in Shangjing or where?" Bai Lu asked.

"Not in the city." Zuo Jiaqi said: "In the county seat below Shangjing City, it takes more than an hour to drive, but the address you are going to is in the urban area, do you think you should find a place to live or go directly?" ”

"Let's go straight to it."

After driving for more than half an hour, Zuo Jiaqi turned the car into a community, Bai Lu didn't see the name of the community, but looking at the architectural style, he knew that this community had been around for some years.

As soon as Bai Lu and Zuo Jiaqi got out of the car, they were stared at by the old men and old ladies who were gathered in the community, they were all old neighbors, and they didn't come to some strangers, it was quite eye-catching.

Go upstairs according to the house number, knock on the door, knock for a long time and no one opened, but the door of the door opened, and an aunt in her fifties poked her head out of the crack in the door: "Who are you looking for?" ”

Bai Lu turned around: "Hello Auntie, please ask, is this Aunt Xing Huirong's house?" ”

"Ah, yes." When the aunt heard that she was looking for someone, she opened the door. "What are you looking for her?"

"Just stop by to take a look, my mother and Aunt Xing Huirong are classmates." Bai Lu explained. "Auntie, do you know where Aunt Xing went? There doesn't seem to be anyone in the house. ”

"I don't know, I think I'll go out in the morning, right? Why don't you just give a phone call and ask. ”

Bai Lu scratched his head, he didn't have a phone number, the address was sent by his mother, and it was just an address and name, without any contact information.

"Okay, then I'll ask." Bai Lu and Zuo Jiaqi went downstairs, called his mother, and it took a long time to connect, listening to his mother's hazy voice, Bai Lu patted his head, and then remembered that his mother went abroad to celebrate his father's wedding anniversary, and it was still early in the morning at this time.

When I got the contact information, Bai Lu hurriedly made a call, but the person who answered the phone was a man, and when I asked, I found out that it was Xing Huirong's son, who would be in the hospital, and he picked up Xing Huirong in the morning, and went to the hospital to be hospitalized directly after the examination.

asked the address of the hospital, and the two rushed to the hospital again, outside the hospital, Bai Lu asked Zuo Jiaqi to stop the car and go to the roadside store to buy a fruit basket.

In the inpatient department of the oncology department, Bai Lu met Xing Huirong's son, who was about the same age as himself.

After greeting for a while, he took the two into the ward.

"Mom, I got it."

"Aunt Xing." Bai Lu looked at the middle-aged woman on the hospital bed and said hello, and at the same time observed, her face was very good, and she was very energetic, not like she had been sick for a long time.

"Bai Lu, huh?" Xing Huirong hurriedly got off the bed, took Bai Lu's hand, and said happily: "Look at it, Jinnian is also true, I just said it in the group, and she also asked you to come all the way over, and this girl, this is your daughter-in-law, right?" Look at this, there's nowhere to sit. ”

"It's okay Aunt Xing, let's take a look, don't bother." Bai Lu put down the fruit basket and explained again. "This is my friend, and my daughter-in-law is at home."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Well, let's eat together in the evening. Xing Huirong looked at her son and said. Xiaofeng, you call your father, and say that your mother's classmate's son is here, and ask him to book a private room in Lao Yang's hotel. ”

Bai Lu didn't want to stay for dinner, but he couldn't stand Xing Huirong's enthusiasm, so he changed his clothes and pulled them downstairs.

It wasn't until he entered the hotel box and sat down that Bai Lu had a chance to speak: "Aunt Xing, what's wrong with you?" My mom said let me take a look, and didn't say anything, why is this still in the oncology department? ”

"Ahem, your mom is making a fuss." Xing Huirong waved her hand and said: "Didn't you go for a physical examination some time ago, saying that there was a tumor in the chest, it was not big, I sent the film to our classmates, and some of our classmates are doctors, so I thought about sending it in for a look, look at your mother, and let you come and toss it all the way...... By the way, I forgot to ask, how is your mother now? We haven't seen each other in almost twenty years. ”

"It's good." Bai Lu said with a smile. "Isn't this her wedding anniversary with my dad yesterday, the two of us are out, or she will come to see you by herself."

"There's no need." Xing Huirong said with a smile: "Didn't my son pull me here today, it's indeed a tumor, but it's not a big deal, benign, it's not big, the doctor said, this tumor may be gone, and it can't grow." ”

Bai Lu wondered, "Then why are you still living in the upper courtyard?" ”

Xing Huirong said: "Isn't it my son who is not at ease, I have to be hospitalized to check everything that can be examined, and if you are not hospitalized, it will not be reimbursed for some expenses...... You see that this is a trouble, and I blame me, it's not a big deal, and I let you run all the way over, but it's troublesome for you. ”

"No trouble, it should be." Bai Lu said with a smile. "Then I'll just tell my mom when I go back, otherwise she'll be quite worried."

"What's that, Bai Lu, right? If you're not busy, stay for a few days, and Auntie will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and take you here to have a good time for a few days. Xing Huirong said enthusiastically. It's not easy to come all the way. ”

After a while, a middle-aged man came in, it was Xing Huirong's husband, named Liu Yuping, and after hearing why Bai Lu came, he was also very enthusiastic.

After eating, he had to arrange a place for Bai Lu to stay, Bai Lu said that he had already booked a hotel, and Xing Huirong gave up, and then he had to be discharged from the hospital the next day and take Bai Lu out to play, Bai Lu had no choice but to use Zuo Jiaqi as a shield, and said that he would go to the county below with her to do things, which could be regarded as dispelling Xing Huirong's thoughts, but he still repeatedly emphasized that he must come back when Bai Lu finished his work.

"Sister Jiaqi, you find me a hotel to put me down, do you think you go home directly, or stay overnight and come back tomorrow?" Bai Lu looked at the time, just after eight o'clock.

"I'll be back tomorrow morning." Zuo Jiaqi didn't want to drive a night train either, and then navigated a five-star hotel.

There was nothing to say all night, early the next morning, Bai Lu and Zuo Jiaqi left the room, Bai Lu was going to go home directly, Zuo Jiaqi asked if he wanted to play, Bai Lu pondered that it was nothing, it was okay to play for a day or two, and then followed Zuo Jiaqi to her hometown.

The county where Zuo Jiaqi's hometown is located is still a large county, with a large population, and the urban planning and construction has been very good in recent years. However, the bustle is also the bustle of the main two streets, and when you get out of these two streets, it seems a little deserted.

There are no five-star hotels in the county, but the environment of some business hotels is okay.

Bai Lu thought that he would live by himself, but when he saw that Zuo Jiaqi also took out his ID card to open another room, he was stunned for a moment: "Sister Jiaqi, what is your situation?" You're all home, don't you go home to live, stay in a hotel? ”

"I'll tell you later."

After the rooms were opened, they went back to their rooms to clean up, and Zuo Jiaqi asked Bai Lu to go downstairs and take Bai Lu to try the local characteristics.

Northeast stew, Bai Lu has not eaten it, but there is no harm if there is no comparison, compared to what he has eaten, the Northeast stew in the Northeast is obviously more authentic.

Zuo Jiaqi didn't hide it during the meal, and roughly said why she didn't go home to live. It's not that she has any trouble with her parents, it's that she doesn't want to deal with some relatives.

Let's put it this way, she is a genius, she has belonged to "other people's children" since she was a child, and she is even more amazing when she grows up. At the age when other people's children are still working hard in big cities, and from time to time they have to rely on financial support from their families, she earned more than 3 million yuan in the first year she joined Qihang Group.

After making money, of course, I wanted to improve my parents' lives, so I bought a house in the best real estate in my hometown and bought a car for her father for more than 300,000 yuan.

There is an old saying in Huaxia that wealth is not exposed. Zuo Jiaqi was obviously exposed, and some relatives knew that Zuo Jiaqi had made money, so they came to borrow money. are all relatives, what else can I do, borrow. The less is twenty or thirty thousand, and the more is two or three hundred thousand. is still the same sentence, they are all real relatives, and they didn't even hit an IOU.

Then, the problem comes, some relatives are relatives, some borrow and some repay, and some don't plan to pay it back, forget it if they don't pay it back, and even have the cheekiness to borrow some more.

Since then, Zuo Jiaqi has basically never taken a vacation except for going home for a few days during the Chinese New Year, she is not afraid of trouble, but she is really afraid of seeing these relatives. She can't hold an annual salary of 10 million now, but what she said to her parents is that she now earns 350,000 a month, and even her parents don't know that she works in Qihang Group, only that she is in the capital.

The most important thing is that as soon as she goes home, she guarantees that the seventh aunt and the eighth aunt will come to her on a blind date immediately.

Therefore, in order not to be stuck at home, she directly booked a room in the hotel for half a year, and went home to see her parents from time to time.
