【004】Prelude to the Storm
I was caught by Qingqing.
After Ritsu Zhaochuan and Secretary Gao left, I continued to hide in the bushes, and as soon as I heard the footsteps, I quickly climbed to change positions. Even though I am agile, this is not a place to hide and hide, and when I was moving to a new site, I was caught by Qingqing, her eyes were red, and she even cried: "Miss Selangor, where have you been!" We're going crazy looking for you! Everyone has already taken a seat in the restaurant, waiting for you! After she finished speaking, she pulled me away, and I didn't even have time to change my clothes, and was invited directly to the restaurant crowd.
At that time, they looked at me...... Can I say that dirty clothes and ugly faces go well together?
Mr. Lu sat alone at the head of the table, Lu Zhaochuan and Su Weining sat on his left, and I sat on the right. Although it was a meal for many people, the voice channel was collectively turned off, and the crisp sound of the spoon hitting the edge of the bowl became an unbearable noise. At the earliest, Su Weining also said a few words, "Confucius said: If you don't sleep at noon, you will collapse in the afternoon." Mencius said: Confucius was right! Such witticisms liven up the atmosphere, but there is no one to pick up, and in the end, he also gives up his efforts.
I hurriedly stuffed my food, just wanting to finish my meal quickly. But my gluttonous eating style and the wind swept away the fallen leaves made Mr. Liz think that I didn't have enough to eat, and I kept making vegetables. The red skin of the prawns is shiny, and the small round fungus is cute and crispy...... In the blink of an eye, the food on my plate was piled up in a small mountain. Mr. Ritsu cared about more weight than my stomach could handle, and I realized that I had used the wrong trick and hurriedly adjusted my strategy to get back to normal.
Because of the allergies, I was very embarrassed by the fatty seafood and delicious mushrooms on my plate, and I had to resist their temptation and try very hard to resist them. Seeing that I was hesitant, Mr. Lil asked, "Selangor, don't you like to eat seafood?" Before I could reply, Mr. Lu had already raised his hand and asked Secretary Gao to let Aunt Luo add steamed eggs, and Mr. Lu added: "Your mother...... And when you were a child, you loved to eat steamed eggs. I'm not mistaken. "I was stunned, my mother really likes steamed eggs.
"My father has such a good memory, I wonder if my father remembers what my mother likes to eat? What do I like to eat? Lu Zhaochuan suddenly spoke indifferently.
"What do you want to say?" Mr. Lil did not answer the rhetorical question.
"My father has the leisure to care about outsiders, why hasn't he thought about caring about the people around him."
The nose immediately smelled a little gunsmoke, and the father-son war was coming again? I held the soup bowl and looked nervously at the two of them.
"Selangor is not an outsider." Mr. Ritsu said in a deep voice, "Besides, your mother doesn't need you to fight for her. It's you, are you being coquettish? ”
As soon as Mr. Ritsu's words fell, a strange sound of "poof" came out of my throat—
My heart sank: Why! This strange voice happened to be stuck at the end of Mr. Ritsu's words, and it sounded like he was laughing at Ritsu Zhaochuan.
I carefully raised my eyes to Ritsu Zhaochuan, and sure enough, he stared at me with a dark voice: "What are you laughing at!" ”
"I, ......no," I could swear, "I'm choking." ”
"Alright." Mr. Lil spoke up, "Don't bully Selangor. ”
Ritsu Zhaochuan glanced at Mr. Ritsu deeply, and suddenly smiled weirdly: "Since my father said so, how dare I disappoint my father." With that, he threw away the utensils, got up and left.
I was stunned, and Su Weining on the other side was also stunned.
"Selangor, Xiao Ning, the food is going to be cold." Mr. Lil said.
Secretary Gao, who was standing beside Mr. Ritsu, did not say a word, she looked straight at me, and did not hide her disgust.
To this, I hung my head deeply, deeply.
Only a healthy and strong body can withstand the storm. Although you don't have the ability to predict what will happen, you must at least be prepared. After the unpleasant dinner, I did morning exercises more diligently, and I also added an item to lift dumbbells......
To my surprise, the storm I had anticipated was about to hit and the house became quieter.
Mr. Ritsu returned to his original working state, flying over the major cities non-stop, which is difficult to see. Lu Zhaochuan also disappeared all day long.
In addition to Secretary Gao, Qingqing, and an aunt surnamed Luo in the family. Aunt Luo is mainly in charge of the kitchen, and I tried to share some trivial household chores for her, when I had just rolled up my sleeves and before my fingertips touched the water, I was stopped by a frightened Aunt Luo: "Miss Selangor, don't do this. "She was polite and wary to me, I was puzzled at first, but then I understood, Aunt Luo thought I was robbing her of her job.
I had nothing to do at the lawyer's house, so I told Secretary Gao that I wanted to go out, but Secretary Gao did not obstruct this, but asked Qingqing to accompany me throughout the whole process on the grounds that I "just came to Beijing and am not familiar with the place". As a result, Qingqing accompanied me to go shopping during the day, and stayed up late at night to make up for the work that was lost during the day. After a few times, I didn't ask to go out.
I have made clear again and again my position in the law firm: quiet as a piece of household goods is conscientiousness.
Fortunately, they have a habit of taking a lunch break!
From 1 to 2 p.m., it's time for them to take a thunderous nap. When they had gone to sleep, I went out through the small door, came back before two o'clock, lay back in bed and pretended to have just woken up, and I was able to pass safely.
When I go out, I take a pen and notebook, go straight along the main road, and draw a simple map. I observe the street scenery, the people passing by, and pay attention to the job advertisements posted on the glass doors of the small shops on the street.
Even if it's not a bustling central business district, it strives to exude a thriving atmosphere, and pedestrians are all in a hurry, which is completely different from the laid-back and quiet city of Licheng. The aura of the metropolis made me realize that I had really left Licheng. Perhaps, I can't go back......
On this day, the trophies I sneaked out of the house were brushes, watercolor paints, and drawing paper. I hugged the painting materials tightly, and as I walked through the hall, I suddenly heard a strange voice: "Come and serve me!" I paused and searched around, finally fixing my eyes on the fat bird. When it saw my glare, it repeated what it had just said a few times, and sure enough, it was it, it turned out that it could speak!
I put down the painting material in my arms and approached it carefully: "Didn't Qingqing just feed you?" ”
Feeding parrots is one of Qingqing's jobs. It is supplemented with vitamins and minerals at regular intervals with regular meals. Melon seeds are its snack, afraid of eating too much and causing uneven nutrition, usually have to be fed, no more than nine grains a day. The above rules are all derived from a feeding law called "Nine Rules for Taking Care of the "Professor", the author is - Law, Zhao, Chuan! The first time I read this long article, the hairs on my arms stood on end. No wonder this fat bird is arrogant, it is all connived at by Ritsu Zhaochuan!
The parrot is so persistent: "Come and serve me!" ”
"Got it." I was helpless, so I opened the food box and grabbed a few white melon seeds to feed it, "You have to keep it secret, don't tell Lu Zhaochuan that I have a ...... to feed you."
I don't know that the sentence in my words seems to have touched the switch hidden in the parrot's body, and it opened its mouth and shouted: "Ritsu Zhaochuan, big villain!" ”
My hand shook suddenly, and I sprinkled a field of white melon seeds.
I thought to myself, fortunately, Secretary Gao and the others were sleeping at the moment, and they didn't listen to its wild words.
"Ritsu Zhaochuan, big villain!"
"Fat bird, dare to talk nonsense under the fence, are you impatient? Want to be stewed? "Given the similarities in our situation, I wouldn't mind telling it a little bit of survival. Who knew that the fat bird was stubborn, and the more it screamed, the more excited it became.
I lowered my voice: "Don't scream, stupid bird!" ”
At this point, I shut up, could it still understand my explanation? I'm not a smart person when I'm trying to communicate with parrots. The more the fat bird spoke, the more energetic it became, but I panicked, grabbed the painting materials and quickly slipped away with my tail between my legs.
I know that no matter how smart a parrot is, if it wants to learn a sentence thoroughly and clearly, it also needs time-consuming and painstaking guidance, who is it that dares to persistently teach the parrot to scold Lu Zhaochuan?
This kind of boldness......
It's so admirable!
I wanted to go back to the bedroom through the path outside the kitchen, but as soon as I stepped into the kitchen backyard, I met Qingqing and Aunt Luo. I subconsciously approached the root of the wall. Is this road still open? I peeked in, and saw them sitting around a large basin filled with hot water, soaked in a little white hen that had been stripped of its fur. The two of them each guarded one side of the big basin, one dragging the chicken wings and the other dragging the chicken legs, bowed down, and plucked the little hen with small tweezers.
It seems that today, this road is not working.
I was thinking about what to do next, when Qingqing suddenly got up and beat her waist and said, "It's all at this point, Miss Selangor should wake up, I'll go and tell her to get up." ”
I whispered: No need......
"Come back!" Aunt Luo said, "I know your little idea very well, if you want to rest, just stand and rest for a while." The chicken soup had to sit on a pot and simmer for three hours, plus the journey to the hospital...... Anyway, we have to speed up, or Miss Star won't be able to drink. ”
Qingqing pouted: "My waist is so sore, my eyes are so painful." Why do chicks have so many little hairs! It's tiring to pull it out! ”
"Don't recite poems, pull out carefully, just because the chicken stewed last time had fine hairs that were not plucked clean, Miss Tang Xing felt disgusting, she didn't move, and the young master smashed the thermos pot. This time, the chicken feathers can't be plucked cleanly, and the young master will come back to pluck our feathers! ”
"Young master, I won't." After Qingqing finished speaking, she was silent for a while, then sat down again and continued to work, "I heard that Miss Xing is not very sick this time and has been tossing in the hospital for a long time. The young master originally wanted Miss Xing to live in 'Yuemingxuan' so that she could take care of it nearby. ”
"Looks like that......"
"The problem is, Miss Selangor lives in 'Yueming Xuan'!" Qingqing lowered her voice, "Aunt Luo, what do you say, what is the origin of Miss Selangor?" No, it's really Mr. Lil's illegitimate daughter. ”
"Shhhh Is this discussable...... You don't want to do it anymore! Aunt Luo's voice sank.
Qingqing suddenly panicked: "I'm just a little curious." ”
"Don't be curious!" Aunt Luo was stern.
"Oh."
They stopped talking, and I pressed my chest, clutched the painting material in my arms, and moved deeper into the courtyard.
Everyone understands in what capacity I got into the lawyer's house.
Only I don't know......
