Chapter Twenty-Three: Xie Lan Takes Leave
Zhou Qi drank wine and didn't go back to Bao'an, so he called Ah Zhi to explain the situation, and Ah Zhi snorted and said, "Okay, you're quite tired, let's rest." "And it hangs.
Zhou Qi estimated that she was a little unhappy in her heart, and she would coax her tomorrow.
Xie Lan has moved from Bao'an to live in the factory, and lived in a dormitory first, and then rented one when the apartment was renovated.
Although it was late at night, there were still some decoration companies in the park that were still secretly working, and Lei Xudong said it a few times, but it was useless. Anyway, in the park, it won't disturb the people, just turn a blind eye and just don't have an accident.
Zhou Qi rarely spent the night here recently, and found that the night was quiet, very good, very comfortable, stronger than Brother Quan's, much more empty, and his mood was more relaxed.
Zhou Qi walked around the park casually and found that they were all sorted out quite well, the trees, the parking lot, and the waste materials for decoration were stacked neatly, waiting for the next day to be cleared.
Suddenly, I saw that Xie Lan was also walking. Then he walked over, "Why haven't you slept so late?" ”
"Just wash your hair, let the natural breeze blow before going to sleep."
Zhou Qi looked at Xie Lan's hair, it was the kind of hair that was short and long, but not long enough.
"I asked you today and said you were tired. Do you want to take a break on vacation, you are the busiest during this time, you have worked hard, although there is still a lot left, but the progress will be much slower, the workload can be helped by the clerk, you can control it remotely outside. How about I give you a few days off? ”
"Thank you to the owner. I actually wanted to take a few days off work with you. ”
"Haven't done anything at home yet?" Xie Lan was a little confused, which made people feel heartbroken when they saw it.
"Well, my brother has a girlfriend at school...
"How did you get a human life?"
"Hmm. The family asked me to go back and get an idea. I don't know how to come up with an idea. ”
"This is a good thing, as long as you really love each other, even if it is difficult at the beginning, there is still hope for two people to work together. You should support them. ”
"I want to support you. But what support do I have? The family probably was also very embarrassed, so they asked me to go back. ”
"Don't you have a boyfriend, let him help figure it out? Can people still suffocate urine? ”
"You're talking light. My boyfriend has been in Xi'an, and I don't know what he's doing, I haven't seen him for a long time, and he hasn't contacted me for a long time. ”
"What kind of boyfriend are you? Haven't been in touch for a long time? ”
"Yes, in fact, he is about to graduate, he suddenly confessed, his conditions are good, he wants to deal with it first, and I haven't seen much later."
"Is this a boyfriend? You haven't seen each other in a few years, have you? ”
"I haven't seen each other for four or five years, and I used to quarrel every time we met, and every time I broke up." Xie Lan sighed, "So, it's useless to tell him this now." ”
"It's not nice to say." Zhou Qi thought it was funny, "If people hide that you get married, now the children will play soy sauce." Sister, you are so simple. ”
"Am I simple?"
"And what did your parents tell you?"
They also want their younger brother to start a family as soon as possible. Of course I want them to get married. But... ”
"The problem with money? Bride price or house? ”
"The woman's parents seem to have money, saying that as long as the boy born in the future has their surname, they don't want anything, and they also have a dowry of two million to let them live outside by themselves."
"It's a bit excessive, but it's understandable."
"Then there is only one younger brother in my family, and my parents are unwilling to agree to this condition."
"The woman is domineering." Zhou Qi thought for a while, "Can you communicate with the woman?" For example, if you have two boys and one family name, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds? ”
"It would be nice to be able to communicate like this, the woman is very strong, and now there is one again. According to what my mother said, people say that now the children are ready, and if they don't get married, they will go directly to their household registration when they are born. ”
"Then you are passive? I thought that if I had a child, the woman would be more vulnerable. ”
"Yes, my younger brother is not sensible, and now he stays at the woman's house all day long, and he doesn't want to go back to his own house."
"That's it, you still have to provide him with books and teaching, and the tuition fee is more than 20,000 yuan?"
"Brother Qi, what do you say now?"
"Let me think about it." At this time, Zhou Qi's mind suddenly presented the picture of giving Qiao Qi an idea, and his mood instantly collapsed.
"It's not easy." Zhou Qi sighed, "Even if I lend you two million now, your brother may not be able to come back, and the woman may not agree." ”
"How's your relationship with your brother?"
"It's nothing, it's just that you don't have any money to find me. I don't usually have much contact. ”
"This kind of brother, what do you care about him?"
"No way, my parents have been holding it as a palm treasure."
"I'm used to a white-eyed wolf."
"There's no way, in the future, your two daughters will recruit your son-in-law and give birth to a boy by yourself. The younger brother hurriedly gave up. You don't have the means to support him. ”
"My dad won't agree, so what can I do? You can't even grab enough money now. ”
"Yes, it's good to have money, but now I don't have money, even if I go back, what can I do?"
"There's nothing to discuss, I guess, your father wants you to go back now, it's nothing more than for you to find a rich man to marry, accept a high-priced bride price, and then take the bride price to the woman."
"I think it's the same, if you don't go back, you will definitely be scolded for not being filial, go back, I'm afraid you won't be able to come out again."
"I've got a bad idea, you listen to it." Zhou Qi pointed to the cross-red signboard of the hospital in the distance, "You go to the hospital to find a doctor to help prescribe fake medical records, saying that you are seriously ill and need money and someone to take care of you." ”
"That's not good, one is to deceive them, and the other is to curse yourself." Sheeran hesitated.
"In that case, find a makeup artist and help you pack it as if you're sick and have no money to treat it, and take some photos for them. See how they react. ”
"Is that so? I've always felt bad, and now it's crime prevention. Fooling parents should too. You don't want to get you arrested and sell to rich people to fill your brother's hole, do you? ”
"Uh... Xie Lan was still hesitating.
"Think about it, if you want to ask for leave, I will grant it to you at any time. Think about yourself, though. By the way, how is your sister? ”
"She? She is more cold and heartless than my brother. ”
"How's her relationship with her parents?"
"She has a bad relationship with everyone. Therefore, she can only rely on me to give her money now, or she will go to work by herself to make money, and never ask her parents for money. ”
"Your sister is smart, you can communicate with her first. After all, you've been giving her money, so it's a bit of a sisterhood, you ask her what she thinks. ”
"Is she also out studying?"
"She has good grades and goes to school in Guangzhou."
"That's good. Near, let's go back and discuss it with your sisters. ”
"Then I'll go to Guangzhou to find her?"
"It's okay, or call first?" Zhou Qi still didn't want her to act rashly.
"Okay, I'll talk to her tomorrow. It depends. ”
"Don't act rashly, don't go back stupidly, I think the pretending illness I said is more reliable, let your parents call your sister to come to Shenzhen to visit you."
"Got it, I'm not that stupid, I don't think I'll go back anytime soon."
Xie Lan thought for a while and said, "I still have to ask for leave, I really want to take a break." Okay? ”
"No problem. Don't act rashly, I don't want to lose you, I'm just one of my own. ”
Xie Lan smiled, smiled beautifully, reached out and hugged Zhou Qi, and said in his ear, "Thank you, Brother Qi." ”
The next morning, Zhou Qi announced that Xie Lan would take a three-day vacation, and the work would be temporarily handled by himself, and two clerks would help handle it.
In fact, there are no urgent or important things now, they are all finishing or daily work, not much, and the two clerks didn't say anything, after all, the official level crushed people, and Xie Lan's colleague relationship was okay.
Xie Lan called at noon and said that she called her parents and said that she was sick and now she had to go to the hospital to see a doctor, and if she had no money, she could use the tuition fees for her younger siblings first, and her parents were stupid and said that they would keep their younger brother's tuition fees no matter what.
"Keep my brother's tuition? What about my sister's? But in the end, your parents still have you in their hearts, and they didn't say that they can't use money. It's good to know, continue to find someone to take pictures of them, make some fake medical records, and it's best to change the name with the real medical records. ”
"Well, I have one in the hospital, I asked her to help find the medical records of a seriously ill girl at such an age, I'm looking for it, and I have to do a full set of plays. He also said that he had to pay a hospital deposit of 30,000 yuan here, and his sister's was not enough. If you don't pay the money, you will be driven away. ”
"What about your sister? What's the reaction? ”
"She? Just ask which hospital are you in? I just made one up in Longhua People's Hospital. ”
"Ask the hospital? If your sister doesn't want to see you, she suspects you of fraud and wants to check on you. The next time she asked, she said that she had been kicked out and returned to the company dormitory. ”
"yes, I can't believe she wants to come and see how her sister is doing. Understood, continue acting. ”
"Where are you?"
"I'm in the dormitory, let's raise pigs for a few days."
"You call raising cabbage, not pigs. Raising pigs such as cabbage. Pig. ”
"That's right. Wait for pigs. ”
"Have you eaten?"
"No, I'm going to eat instant noodles, I'm boiling water."
"Eat instant noodles and don't raise cabbage, I'm afraid of growing daylily, come out, let's go to eat fish opposite."
"Okay, I'll change my clothes."
"Okay, I'll go downstairs now."
hung up the phone, suddenly thought about Ah Zhi, then called her, and answered in seconds: This is the 110 service platform, does Mr. need to report the case?
Play this?
"Well, that's right, I'm going to report the case, Liao Xiuzhi, who has a police number of 9527, is slacking off for no reason."
"You're number 9527. I haven't slackened my work, have you eaten? ”
"Not yet, I'm going to eat with my colleagues. What about you? ”
"I'm eating a boxed lunch on the side of the road."
"What's wrong? Are you also on a mission? ”
"Of course, you... I'm a first-class police officer now. ”
"What are you?"
"Your wife, are you okay?"
Zhou Qi himself hadn't laughed yet, there were a lot of haha voices on the phone.
"It's all your fault. Wait until you come back in the evening and pinch my arm. Hmph, hang up, ignore you. ”
Well, that's the day.
I went downstairs and saw that Xie Lan had already walked to the gate, so I hurried over and took her to the house where he had eaten with Qiao Qi before, and his food was really good.
As soon as the dish was ordered, Xie Lan's phone rang, it was her sister's.
"Pick it up, just say that I just came back and had dinner with my colleagues."
After that, Zhou Qi didn't listen to the conversation between the two sisters, and he could only understand half of the local dialect in the mountainous areas of Guizhou, so there was no point in guessing, don't guess the wrong meaning and wrong idea.
After saying a few words, the phone hung up, and Xie Lan said, "My sister said that she has arrived at the gate of the park, can you pick her up?" ”
"Go pick it up, it's okay. She came so far and so soon, just to care about you. Your sister is a smart person, she understands when she sees you, take her over and eat with her and then go back. ”
Xie Lan went for a few minutes and brought a girl who also wore black-rimmed glasses, taller, thinner, and different in appearance, it is estimated that one looks like his father and the other looks like his mother.
When her sister saw Zhou Qi and ordered a table of dishes, she smiled, a very happy smile.
