The last elf

At seven o'clock the next morning, my mother opened the door and told me to get up. I didn't go back to the rented house last night, but slept at my parents' place. .biquge

I sat up from the bed and rubbed my eyes. I sat there with half-closed eyes for five minutes. Then I yawned and continued rubbing my eyes. I put on my shoes and got out of bed. When I came to the kitchen, I saw my dad busy working. I was stunned for two seconds and thought about the sun today. Coming out from the west? Don't you know how to cook?

"What are you looking at? Brush your teeth, wash your face and get ready to eat!" He turned around and grabbed the shovel and raised it to me. I looked at how awkward his posture with the shovel was. Others were holding it but he was grabbing it. When I brushed my teeth and washed my face, I was afraid that he would accidentally shovel me.

After brushing his teeth and washing his face fearfully, he was done. After I put the dishes on the table with him, he went to the room and called his mother to come out for dinner. This mouthful of wifey and the other words about wifey gave me goosebumps. I got up, but the moment I saw them walking out of the room hand in hand, I felt that they were indeed quite happy, at least happier than me.

"Come on, this is my first time cooking. If it doesn't taste good, please lightly spray it." He said to me with a naive smile, but I lowered my head and looked at a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. The red ones are tomatoes. , the yellow color is eggs, eh, not bad, but how do you explain the black color in it? I picked it up and smelled it, and it turned out it was burnt...

This plate of pickled cucumbers shouldn't be poisonous, I thought. I picked up a piece and stuffed it into my mouth. After chewing it twice, I spit it out immediately.

"What's wrong? Isn't it delicious?" Seeing my reaction, my mother also took a piece and stuffed it into her mouth. The result was the same as mine.

"What's wrong? Although it's not that delicious, there's no need to spit it out, right?" Seeing our reaction, my father touched his head and asked.

"Eat, if you don't vomit, I will be your grandson." I rolled my eyes at him and said.

"Cut it, just eat it, will you die?" He squinted at me, then specially picked up a larger piece of cucumber and stuffed it into his mouth. His expression was very natural at first, but after chewing it for a few times, he His expression became more forced.

"Don't vomit. If you want to be my grandfather, don't vomit."

After all, he couldn't hold it back anymore, and he almost vomited out his intestines.

It turns out that salt was mistaken for sugar. What was originally a pickled cucumber is now a salted cucumber. Who do you think can eat salted cucumbers?

"I think you are obsessed with wanting to have a grandson. I originally wanted you to learn how to cook. Oh, it's my fault. I won't let you cook anymore. It's really hard for you." My mother looked at it. Dad shook his head and said.

At this time, my cell phone rang, it was Xiaoya calling.

"Hey?"

"Hello? Have you eaten?"

I glanced at my dad, then pretended to be angry and said, "I didn't eat it. I was afraid that I would die from eating it, so I didn't dare to eat it."

"I'm across the road from your house now. I haven't had breakfast either. Let's go eat together?"

"Oh, I'm coming out now."

After hanging up the phone, my mother asked with a smile: "Is Lao Wu's daughter waiting for you?"

"Well, ask me to have breakfast with you and then go to work. Then I'll go."

"Hey... I want to hold a grandson." Dad still said to me with a naive smile.

"A granddaughter?"

"Wow! As long as they are of the blood of my Bai family, both men and women want it!"

"Okay, just don't cry and say you don't want it anymore." I thought about finding an opportunity to bring Lulu and torture him for a few days to see if he would dare to clamor for a grandson in the future.

After leaving the house, I immediately saw Xiaoya standing across the road. She was still wearing the white clothes and pants I had last night, and she was so conspicuous at this time.

It seems that this girl really likes me, otherwise she wouldn't be wearing my clothes. It seems that Grandpa Hu Shuirong was right when she said that I will be destined to be a lucky girl in this life.

"I'll wait for you here every day from now on, and then let's have breakfast together and go to work, okay?" Xiaoya said to me with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid that my girlfriend will be jealous?"

"You're not afraid. Is she still afraid that I will snatch you away?"

"What you said makes me very embarrassed..."

When she came to a breakfast shop and ordered breakfast, she asked again: "You go to No. Middle School in the city, right?"

My heart skipped a beat after hearing this. She couldn't be thinking...

"I'll tell dad to transfer you to my class after school starts." Xiaoya said while playing with her chopsticks.

"Auntie, what do you want to do?" I grinned and said.

She glanced at me but said nothing, and I was thinking that if she went to our class, why would she confront Rongrong? Will I not be the unlucky one then? No, no, I can't let her into our class.

After breakfast, we went to the hotel. Everyone was here. I saw Xiaoyan chasing Sun Tianhao upstairs and downstairs. What does it mean to show affection this early in the morning?

"What are you doing? Don't you think you had enough fun yesterday? The boss will talk to you later when he sees it." I patted Sun Tianhao who was being grabbed and pushed down by Xiaoyan and said.

"It's okay, what can you do to me if you see it?" Sun Tianhao shook his hair and said.

"Xiaoyan, was he bad yesterday?" I asked Xiaoyan with a smile.

She didn't react at first, but after a while she blushed and said, "Bad..."

"Oh, you are so mean! I hate you so much!"

"Fuck! Get out!"

Amid the laughter of a group of us, the work began.

There were quite a lot of guests today, and one table came after another. A group of us were never idle at all. In fact, work is like this. When we are idle, we will feel uncomfortable. We see others busy but we are leisurely. This You're obviously not gregarious, so even if you have nothing to do, you have to find something to do. You can't be idle, otherwise the boss will take advantage of you.

Time flies so fast, and before I know it, the whole morning's work has come to an end. A little accident happened. A waitress accidentally knocked down a bowl when she was leaving the table, but Sister Yulan and the boss knew it. I didn’t say anything. I just said to be careful next time. Breaking a bowl is a trivial matter, and safety is the most important thing. This made me feel that the human touch here is so sufficient. No matter how tiring it is to work here, it is worth it. As long as you are happy, everything else is not important. .

Isn't that right? The main reason for going to work is for salary, but you also need to be happy. I think as long as you are happy, a lower salary is not a big problem. If you are not happy at work every day, it will be meaningless no matter how high the salary is, and you will not be in the mood to continue working, right?

I was quite happy when I got off work, but many things happened so suddenly that I couldn't keep my mind ready.

Mom called and said her diamond ring was missing.

"When did you disappear? Where did you put it?" I immediately put away my smile after hearing this, and immediately frowned and asked.

"It should have been between noon yesterday and this morning. I took it off yesterday morning and soaked it in salt water. It was placed in a tea cup on the table in the kitchen and bathroom. I just went to look for it and found it missing. .”

"Hasn't there been any thieves at home?"

"No, everything else is in good condition. There are no signs of being turned over at all."

"From yesterday noon to this morning... no one else came to the house. Wait... you mean Rongrong and Xiaoya?"

"Only the two of them have been to the house during this period. The little girl named Hu Shuirong has entered the kitchen. Old Wu's daughter also entered the bathroom last night. It is impossible for you and your father to take it, so they... …”

I thought about it and found out that they were the only two suspects.

"Mom, are you more suspicious of Hu Shuirong?"

"Yes, because I know the situation of Lao Wu's family. Their family doesn't need this diamond ring at all. But I don't know about the little girl named Hu Shuirong. Although this diamond ring is not priceless, it is still a gift from your father. A token of love, nearly one million dollars." My mother's tone of voice changed a little, and I could tell that the diamond ring was indeed very important to her.

"Let me think about this matter carefully. There is no evidence yet, so we can't alert the snake. Both of them are suspected. Let me test it slowly."

After hanging up the phone, I returned to the rental house. Xueying and the others were having dinner. I didn't say a word after entering the room, and went straight to the room and closed the door.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door. I opened the door and saw Xueying. She didn't say anything after she came in. She sat next to me and stared at the floor quietly in a daze.

"Xue Ying, let me ask you a question." After a moment of silence, I looked at her and said.

Xueying said nothing, raised her head and looked at me, her eyes full of indifference.

"What would you think if... Hu Shuirong was gone?"
