Second Uncle Zuo and Second Aunt Zuo were taken away, and when they left, Second Aunt Zuo muttered, and couldn't hear what they were saying, but it was definitely not a good word.

"I'm sorry, Xiaobai, I let you see the joke." Zuo's mother apologized. "What, I'm going to buy groceries and eat at home at noon, do you have anything you want to eat?"

Bai Lu hurriedly said: "I can do it, I don't pick." ”

"That's okay, that girl, you take Xiaobai out for a walk and come back for dinner at noon."

The three of them went downstairs together, Zuo's mother went straight to the vegetable market, and Zuo Jiaqi took Bai Lu to drive into the car, ready to go to the two most prosperous streets for a stroll.

"See, there's a reason I don't like to go home." Zuo Jiaqi is accustomed to it. "For as long as I can remember, my relatives at home have not been very reliable, they used to be fine, everyone used to have no money, and they could help each other. Ever since I started earning money at work and bought a house for my parents, it's basically like this, it's pretty much it, we're all poor, what's going on in your family? ”

Bai Lu laughed: "Uncle and aunt are retired?" ”

"Rural people don't have any units." Zuo Jiaqi said. "It's all farming, my family still has land in the village now, that is, my parents are old, so I let them go out, and every year I will give that little money, and I will give it every month, enough for them to live."

……

When Bai Lu and Zuo Jiaqi were strolling on the street, in the kitchen of Zuo's house, Zuo's father sighed while helping Zuo's mother toss the ingredients: "That little Bai is very good, but it's a pity that she is already married, when do you think our daughter will be able to bring back a partner?" She's thirty years old, and she's an old girl. ”

"If you don't look for it, don't look for it, it's not that the girl can't support herself." Zuo's mother didn't have a good airway. "As far as your family's little relatives, do you still expect your daughter to find a partner? What man can stand having such relatives at home. ”

"Don't say that, that's my brother after all." Zuo Dad sighed. "Then what do you say I can do, I am the eldest in the family, the old saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father, my parents left early, I don't help them, who can help them."

"You didn't help enough, didn't you?" The more Zuo's mother spoke, the more angry she became: "Haven't you helped for so many years?" You don't know what kind of virtue your brother has? If he does something and loses money, okay, if you borrow money from him, he will borrow it, he will play with money, and he will sell his house and land. If you don't lend him money, he will have to let people put sacks and throw them deep in the mountains and old forests to feed the bears and blind people. ”

Seeing that Zuo's father didn't speak, Zuo's mother continued to count: "Look at the present, as long as he still treats you as his own brother, it won't be like this, is he still a person?" lives in our house, and if you don't give money, it doesn't matter, and now you have to sell our house to buy a house for his son to get married. ”

"Then he can't help it." Zuo's father also knew that this was not good, but he just couldn't let go of his younger brothers and sisters: "Then what do you say, Jianbin and his family don't have any jobs, they are both at this age, Jiawei has also reached the age of marriage, and the whole family can help him as a big brother, that Jianping is a daughter, and if she marries, she is someone else's family, and it is not easy to help if you want to." ”

Zuo's mother was immediately angry: "Ah, do you still know the water spilled by the girl who got married?" Then Jianping borrowed money from you last year, and you still borrowed it? I didn't even make an IOU, it's been more than a year, right? Is it back? People don't mention half a word. You just pretend to be a big-tailed wolf, it looks like you have a lot of money, is that your money? That's all earned by your daughter. In the past few years, your daughter doesn't like to go home, don't you know why? Don't have any points in your heart? ”

Zuo Dad sighed, didn't talk back, and lowered his head and washed the vegetables there sullenly.

……

"Sister Jiaqi, haven't you ever thought about taking your parents out?" Bai Lu said: "Your income in the capital to buy a house is not unaffordable, I listen to my father, he has been busy with foreign affairs in the past few years, basically retired, the company will also be handed over to my brother little by little, and then prepare to set up a branch in the capital, and then the branch may let you manage." ”

Zuo Jiaqi nodded: "Bai Dong told me a few times, one is to let me manage the branch in the capital, and the other is to let me be in charge of the branch in Europe, choose one of the two." I also considered taking my parents over, but they wouldn't. ”

"What's not to want from this?" Bai Lu was a little incomprehensible. According to Zuo Jiaqi's description, her relatives are unreliable one by one, what is the point of such relatives?

"Everyone has a comfort zone." Zuo Jiaqi said: "I am used to living in my comfort zone, and I am basically reluctant to jump out. My parents' comfort zone is this small county town, they have lived here all their lives, they are very satisfied with being able to eat and be warm, and they can't adapt to a sudden change to a strange environment. ”

After thinking about it, Zuo Jiaqi said again: "It's not that I haven't considered taking them out, and I have also mentioned to them that they are unwilling." I also considered forcibly taking them away, but I was afraid that they would not be able to adapt to the soil. This unadaptation is not to say that they will not be able to accept the environment and food for a while, or that people have arrived in a strange environment, everything has to start all over again, and young people are good to say, they are older, and their ability to accept is not so strong, and they are afraid that there will be psychological problems when they come and go. As for me, as you know, I'm so busy every day, I don't have much time to spend with them. ”

After listening to Zuo Jiaqi's words, Bai Lu also understood her concerns.

Indeed, as Zuo Jiaqi said, when a person arrives in a strange new city and starts a new life, the biggest problem is psychological problems.

"Sister Jiaqi, I have an idea." Bai Lu said.

"What thoughts?"

"I'll transfer you to the headquarters."

"Where are you there?" Zuo Jiaqi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "How is that possible." Bai Lu, you don't work in the company, you don't know. If I were an ordinary employee, I could transfer my job wherever I wanted, and it would have no impact on the company. The high-rise is a radish and a pit, even if the capital sets up a branch, it is also a new pit, so that I can put my old radish in, and I can't pull out other radishes for me for personal reasons, right? That's not going to be messed up. People stay in the pit well, and they have to change the pit at once, can they be willing? When the time comes, the gossip will not be good for the company. ”

"Then you come to my side." Bai Lu smiled: "You know what I've been doing lately, right? ”

"Yes." Zuo Jiaqi also laughed: "You really want to play one play." ”

"Then you come to me." Bai Lu said: "The annual salary will not be lower than that of Sailing." ”

Zuo Jiaqi looked at Bai Lu speechlessly: "People dig the corners of the walls are digging the corners of other people's walls, you are good, why do you still dig the corners of your own houses?" Besides, Bai Dong can't agree either. ”

"It's okay." Bai Lu waved his hand. "To use an inappropriate analogy, it's not that the meat is rotten in the pot, if you have this idea, I'll tell my dad."

"This ......" Zuo Jiaqi was a little moved. This is indeed a good opportunity to take her parents out to live with her, and she also has time to spend more time with them.

"There's no rush for this, you think about it slowly, tell me when you think about it, I'll go tell my dad."

"Okay, I'll think about it." Zuo Jiaqi nodded, not making any decisions impulsively. She is not the kind of little girl who can make hasty decisions based on emotions in three or two sentences. Qihang Group is not a roadside stall, usually the things she comes into contact with are basically no trivial matters, and some things need her to make decisions, wrong, the loss is not a little bit. So, she's used to thinking carefully before doing anything.

The two of them turned around for a while and then returned home, and when they entered the house, they smelled a burst of aroma from the kitchen.

"Coming back? Kiki, you go under the TV cabinet to look for it, there is tea there, you see what Xiaobai drinks, you can get it. Zuo's mother happened to set the table with a plate of fried dishes, and when she saw the two of them coming in, she said with a smile: "There are two more dishes, it will take about ten minutes." ”

Zuo Jiaqi didn't change her shoes, and asked Bai Lu: "Do you drink tea?" ”

"Sister Jiaqi, don't be busy, I don't drink tea." Bai Lu waved his hand. "Usually at home, it's just drinking water, or just drinks."

"Then I'll show you what's in the fridge." Zuo Jiaqi opened the refrigerator and looked for it, and threw Bai Lu a bottle of almond juice. "That's all there is to it, let's make do with it."

Ten minutes later, Zuo's mother beckoned to eat.

When he saw it on the table, Bai Lu really felt the enthusiasm, four people, made seven or eight dishes, and all of them were hard dishes. Pork ribs stewed vermicelli, pot wrapped meat, chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised carp...... It's amazing enough to be able to make so many dishes in less than two hours.

As soon as I sat down and picked up the chopsticks, the doorbell rang, and it was hard not to suspect that it was the smell of the fragrance.

"Who is this noon?" Zuo's mother muttered as she got up to open the door, and then heard a man's voice at the door: "Auntie, uncle, are you eating?" I heard my sister is back? ”

Then, Bai Lu saw a young man walking in with a girl: "Yo, this is a brother-in-law, right?" ”

"Jiawei." Zuo's father also stood up: "Have you eaten?" Let's eat together without eating. This is your sister's colleague, not the object. ”

"Oh, colleague." Zuo Jiawei pointed to the girl next to him: "This is my object, Hu Yue." Ouch, uncle, so many hard dishes? This entertaining son-in-law doesn't need to be made like this. After speaking, he was not polite, pulled the girl named Hu Yue and moved the chair and sat down, grabbed the chopsticks and pulled them up on the plate.

Bai Lu was stunned, he also knew that this was the child of Zuo Jiaqi's second uncle's family, but he didn't expect it, he thought that Zuo Jiaqi's second uncle and second aunt were strange enough, but the children in the family were even more unreliable, you can eat if you want, and no one won't let you eat, what are you pulling blindly? Is there gold or silver in it? This is not his own home, if it was in his own home, he would have been slapped a long time ago.

As soon as this idea came out, Zuo Jiaqi knocked on it with chopsticks.
