Chapter 82: Returning Home for the New Year
"But there's only one ticket, and I don't want to go alone." Zhou Xiaotong took the prom ticket and was in a dilemma. Just now, Shen Yutang also said that this is a friendship event, and there will be many single men and women at the ball, looking for true love for each other.
She already has true love and doesn't need to look for it, but she's interested in that form of activity.
Lin Qiu didn't care about this, and persuaded her: "Friendship activities are to meet new friends, and I don't think it's harmful." You'll be able to shine in your own career in the future, and you'll also need some connections. ”
Since Lin Qiu started working, he has been accustomed to thinking about life with the ideas of a businessman.
Zhou Xiaotong is still a complete student, she has never worked hard in society, and she has her own set of understanding of life. Seeing that Lin Qiu didn't care much about her going to this ball, he thought that Lin Qiu didn't care about her either?
The voice was a little angry: "Then I know other excellent boys at the dance, don't you mind?" ”
Lin Qiu didn't know that he was wrong, which made Zhou Xiaotong a little unhappy: "Isn't it a good thing that you know excellent people?" He was referring to the fact that good people can be used as their own connections to develop.
"What if those good people are better than you?" Zhou Xiaotong is still thinking about feelings.
Lin Qiu realized that his girlfriend was unhappy here, and he suddenly wanted to tease Zhou Xiaotong: "There are many people who are better than me." This university is richer than me, and there are many men who are more handsome than me. Xiaotong, will you empathize and don't fall in love? ”
Lin Qiu's eyes pretended to be aggrieved.
Zhou Xiaotong's heart softened when he saw this: "How come? We grew up together, and we have a good emotional foundation. She anxiously explained to Lin Qiu, not wanting him to misunderstand.
Lin Qiu hugged her: "That's not it." I know very well that even if you go to the party, the person I am most worried about in my heart is still me, so I don't care if you go or not, the only thing I care about is whether you are happy or not, whether you want to go or not. ”
Zhou Xiaotong was a lot happier when she heard this, but she restrained her smile and said something in disguise; "I'm hungry, let's go eat first."
"Okay."
Dongjie is close to the residential area, with a large population flow, and the Beijing flavor here is very strong, which is the kind of old Beijing that is a bit exquisite.
There are two or three schools open, and some old ladies don't want to retire and stay at home, so they come here to buy snacks.
Zhou Xiaotong picked out a few bags of sticky tooth candy, it was a small wooden stick with a circle of maltose hanging on it, which was solidified by the cold air in the north, and it would melt in her mouth again, and she would wrap her teeth deadly, Zhou Xiaotong was eating it for the first time, and the sugar silk was wrapped in her mouth, and she couldn't speak.
Lin Qiu laughed on the side and bought a bottle of soda for Zhou Xiaotong: "Drink some water to dissolve the sugar." ”
Zhou Xiaotong took the soda and drank it: "It's so angry." "In this era, cola is a rare drink, most people drink pure soda, and occasionally put a little saccharin, it will become sweet, Lin Qiu didn't have saccharin on hand, so he drank it directly to Zhou Xiaotong.
The two have been shopping on this street for a long time, and they are about to have a holiday, Zhou Xiaotong plans to go home to accompany his family, Zhou Zhennan has a child with her, and he has often written letters recently, saying that he misses her.
When Lin Qiu heard this, his expression was a little lonely. Chen Qingxiu didn't know how to read, because people spread rumors in the village, which made Chen Qingxiu not feel very happy, so no one helped her write letters. I'm embarrassed to go to Zhou Zhennan.
Lin Qiu hadn't received a reply from her mother for a long time.
"Are you going home?" Zhou Xiaotong asked, the travel agency is now closed, and Lin Qiu has no source of income, so he can only sit and eat.
Lin Qiu thought for a while: "Go home, the money I earn now is enough for me to support me for a while." Go home and tell my mom that she is safe and put her at ease. And the monkey is going to go home and see the, so let's go together. ”
Zhou Xiaotong was happy when he thought that he could be with Lin Qiu during the holidays, and the smile on his face couldn't be contained, after all, they had just established a relationship, and now they were in love, and everyone wanted to stay with each other.
A few days later, after the school released the results of the all-subject exam, Lin Qiu contacted the monkey, and the two planned to take Zhou Xiaotong home by train together.
The three children are street children themselves, and even when they return to the town, there is no one they want to meet. simply stayed in the hotel to work. Not only do you have food to eat, but you also have a place to live.
Lin Qiu also respects their ideas, without suffering from others, don't persuade people to be generous, he still has a little nostalgia for the town, because his mother is still in the town.
Chen Qingxiu grew up in the town and never went to the outside world. Sticking to the rules, she just wanted to stay at home, and Lin Qiu also persuaded her several times to no avail, so she gave up.
Lin Qiu didn't relax after returning home, he borrowed a few books on finance from Zhan Yiyuan, and when he first opened a travel agency, he found that he had a lot of knowledge shortcomings. In order to facilitate his future work, he needs to improve his knowledge.
The monkey was completely loose at home, because for the Chinese New Year, his mother also came home.
The two finally met, the monkey's mother was used to treating her son, and the monkey was to open his mouth with food and stretch out his hand with clothes. Even Lin Qiu couldn't stand it, because his mother was also at this level, looking at Lin Qiu's eyes as if they could turn into water, which made Lin Qiu very uncomfortable.
He even complained to the monkey in private: "It's better to earn money at school, it feels weird to go home." ”
"Hahaha, that tree will be blown by the wind, and the parents are gone, so I can't see it." The monkey struggled to scavenge for the new words he had just learned.
"That is called the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the son wants to raise but the relatives are not there." Lin Qiu patted the monkey's braincase.
The monkey is right, he didn't even serve when his mother died tragically in his previous life. It was the pain of his life.
"I didn't expect you to be able to say such a thing." Lin Qiu quipped.
"Brother Monkey, I'm already smart." The monkey's funny appearance made Lian Qiu laugh.
The wages earned by Lin Qiu before the holiday bought a bunch of New Year's goods for the family, and occasionally the Lin family also came over to fight the autumn wind, and Lin Qiu and the monkey all scolded out.
Although Chen Qingxiu is more gentle, the mother monkey is a lot more spicy and strong. The people who scolded the Lin family didn't dare to come again.
A few days after the year, Lin Qiu and the monkey brought a bunch of gifts to visit Zhou Zhennan, and his mother worked in the canteen of the Education Bureau.
Zhou Xiaotong saw Lin Qiu coming, so he went over to open the door for him.
Zhou Zhennan said in a sour tone: "It's really a woman who can't keep it!" ”
He was just joking, in fact, he recognized Lin Qiu very much in his heart, he heard his daughter say that Lin Qiu handled the affairs of the travel agency when he was in college, handled it properly, and accumulated a lot of contacts. When there were a lot of messy things, he didn't lose his temper at Zhou Xiaotong. This kind of person can achieve great things.
Zhou Xiaotong glanced at Zhou Zhennan coquettishly: "No, I will always be my father's good daughter." ”
