before and after dinner gl
Chapter 57
Early in the morning, before everyone from the project team arrived, Xiao Jingrui had just stepped into the office with a backpack full of snacks on his back, when Jing Mingshuai called him to the personnel office.
Knocked on the door twice, but no one answered, Xiao Jingrui pushed open the door and walked in, when a hand suddenly reached out from behind and grabbed her backpack.
"Hey, sister, you really have melon seeds!" Jing Mingshuai's beating voice came from behind, and at the same time she heard the sound of her backpack being unzipped.
Jing Mingshuai rummaged through Xiao Jingrui's backpack without hesitation: "This is enough, and instant noodles? Let me have a bucket." Before Xiao Jingrui could answer, a bucket of braised beef Jing Mingshuai took the noodles into his bag, "Oh, you've got everything ready, give me two ham sausages too~"
"One!" Xiao Jingrui pulled out a ham sausage from Jing Mingshuai's hand and returned, "Bandits don't even let people eat late at night."
"Need to work overtime? Isn't the company subsidizing supper now? Why do you bring so much?"
"Bring it if you have it at home."
"Yo yo yo, if you want to save someone's money, just say so!" Jing Mingshuai squinted his eyes and smiled at her, "But I don't want you to pay for a few buckets of instant noodles, hehehe, hehehe..."
Xiao Jingrui was about to punch that guy, when suddenly a tall man jumped out from behind the cabinet next to him, holding a small video camera in his hand, he reminded Jing Mingshuai: "Handsome guy, people should coming."
"Quick, hide!" Jing Mingshuai waved his hand, and Xiao Jingrui and the man with the camera hid sideways behind the cabinet at the same time, and he himself sat down at the front end of a table in the middle.
A second later, Xiao Jingrui wondered alone, hey, why did she listen to Jing Mingshuai's orders? She didn't know what was going on, and just watched them work hard, and she became nervous.
Five minutes later, the smell of sweat from the man next to him was mixed with the smell of smoke, which made Xiao Jingrui really uncomfortable, so he jumped out and shouted at Jing Mingshuai, "What are you doing?!"
Jing Mingshuai opened his mouth, stared at Xiao Jingrui in a daze for two seconds, then turned his head and asked the man: "Ask you, what are you doing? Didn't you say someone is coming?"
The man with the camera stared blankly at Jing Mingshuai, and explained with an innocent face: "The buddy who was letting out the air just now said that there is a person who looks like him, and he came up..." Before he finished speaking, the phone in the man's pants There was a ring, and he took a look, "This time, it's here!" After speaking, he tugged on Xiao Jingrui's sleeve, and hid her behind the cabinet together.
Within 2 minutes, there was a knock on the office door.Just as Xiao Jingrui poked his head out, wanting to see who was knocking on the door, he was immediately pulled back by the person next to him. The man raised his index finger to his mouth, motioning her to keep silent.
The door rang several times, and Xiao Jingrui saw Jing Mingshuai sitting there, and had no intention of answering the door at all.Not long after, she heard the sound of the door lock being unscrewed.
"Xiao Zhou hasn't come yet?"
Xiao Jingrui felt very familiar when he heard this male voice.Xiao Zhou was the front desk of the company before, because he was often in charge of ordering takeout for everyone, so Xiao Jingrui remembered this number of people. Transferred to the personnel department.But at this moment, Xiao Jingrui was thinking, besides Jing Mingshuai, he was the only one in this office. Xiao Zhou was probably dismissed by Jing Mingshuai. So, who is the person who is looking for Xiao Zhou? Who is it, who is it...
While worrying about his memory, Xiao Jingrui looked at Jing Mingshuai, listened carefully to his conversation with that person, and tried to find some clues about the male voice from their conversation.
I saw Shuai Jing Ming playing with a ballpoint pen on the table without looking up, and answered the man in a lazy voice: "You came so early, of course he didn't come."
"I called her two days ago."
"So what?" Jing Mingshuai threw the pen back on the table, finally raised his head, and stared in the direction of the door with disdain on his face: "You make an appointment at this time, are you ashamed to see your former colleagues? Hey, be a man , to be like you, it is quite annoying..."
"Why are you here? You are..." The man interrupted Jing Mingshuai, but he couldn't finish his sentence, and Jing Mingshuai cut it off again.
"Your grandpa!" Jing Mingshuai took his words, slapped the table and stood up, "Brothers, give it to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the person next to Xiao Jingrui rushed out and locked the door, then picked up the camera, adjusted the angle, and stuck it at the door like a wall.
Before the man could react, the door of the inner office was slammed open, and five or six men came out one after another.
Jing Mingshuai is considered to be a taller type, and these five or six men stood beside him, but none of them lost to him.The man who just came in saw such a group of people suddenly gathered in front of him, and they were gearing up at him, he couldn't help but start to panic: "You... what are you doing? It's broad daylight, you want to hit someone?"
Looking at the man's expression, Xiao Jingrui finally recognized him based on his figure and the content of his conversation with Jing Mingshuai just now. Isn't this man the master planner Dong Ge who always brought people to pick on her.
"Yoha? Hehe, we don't beat people, we beat dogs!" Following the last syllable of the word "dog" by Jing Mingshuai, a ruthless punch hit Brother Dong in the middle of the door.
Unexpectedly, Brother Dong staggered back, wiped the place where he was beaten, bared his teeth and scolded: "You fucking..." Before he could utter the words, he was kicked on the ground. on the ground.
After a few rounds, Brother Dong was beaten so badly that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. It was hard to tell whether it was snot or sweat on his face.Jing Mingshuai grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up from the ground: "With your virtue and what you have done, how dare you come to resign? You said that you have already left, so why do you want to resign? If you knew how unpopular you are, I would hide at home and cover my face with a quilt every day, and I would disappear!"
Brother Dong gritted his teeth, panting heavily, and opened his swollen eyes to stare at Jing Mingshuai.
"Why, you're still not convinced? You still want to fight back?" Jing Mingshuai glanced at Brother Dong's raised right hand and stepped on it.
Brother Dong yelled, sweating coldly in pain.
"Yeah, why don't you just jump ship, understandable, but you always made things difficult for my sister before, so I can't understand..."
"Handsome guy, it's fine." Xiao Jingrui couldn't stand it any longer. She didn't like Dong Ge, and this man did often trouble her, and even forced her out of the company, so that even now she still occasionally hears Someone behind him is pointing fingers.But because of these, beating people like this is really too much, just these injuries are enough for him to lie at home for ten days and a half months.But compared to these injuries, Xiao Jingrui cared more about Jing Mingshuai, worried that this guy would act impulsively and get into trouble again.
"That's enough?" Jing Mingshuai turned his head to look at her, "Why don't you give me two punches to relieve my anger?"
"Untie the hair, let him go." Xiao Jingrui looked at Dong Ge's face that was bruised and purple and still covered with some liquid, and couldn't help but rubbed his hands on his pants twice, so dirty She doesn't want to touch Xi's face.
"Sister, you are so kind and kind. You don't know how small he was when you were not in the company." Jing Mingshuai grabbed Dong Ge's collar hard , then threw him back, clapped his hands and stood up, seeing that the people on the ground did not move, he shouted impatiently: "Did you hear me, you can go!"
Xiao Jingrui watched Dong Ge slowly get up from the ground using both hands and feet. During this process, he scanned everyone in the room one by one with his eyes that were barely opened, until finally the door was closed. The man with the camera, the man waved at him calmly and smiled, raised the camera a little higher, took a close-up of his poor face, then raised his kick, and was about to kick him in the stomach.
Brother Dong was so frightened that he hugged his stomach and shrank into a ball, trembling like a frightened mouse.
The man sighed, put his feet down, and put away the camera: "What's the matter? I think the grandpas are handsome, so I can't bear to leave? Look at you, get out!"
Brother Dong ran away like shit, Jing Mingshuai took two steps, took the camera from the man and handed it to Xiao Jingrui.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Jingrui didn't understand what he meant.
Jing Mingshuai took the camera back, and after fiddling for a long time, he finally took out the memory card. This time he just handed over the memory card: "Take it, take it out for fun when you're in a bad mood."
Xiao Jingrui frowned and shook her head: "Are you going to be a pervert?"
"Then do you want it?" Jing Mingshuai held the hand of the memory card and handed it to Xiao Jingrui.
"No." Xiao Jingrui's face was full of disgust, and she didn't want to look at that card too much, she didn't have such a bad taste.
Seeing that she really didn't want it, Jing Mingshuai returned the camera and the card, and said, "Delete, delete."
Xiao Jingrui also admired Jing Mingshuai, and it was nothing if he hit someone, so he couldn't help but want to say to him: "Turn left when you go out, and the police station is there, you guys..."
"He's going to give it a try!" Jing Mingshuai interrupted Xiao Jingrui. He knew what she was worried about, and he pulled the one who stood at the front among the men next to him to him, and patted her. The human shoulder asked Xiao Jingrui: "Do you still remember him?"
Xiao Jingrui's face blindness is of course impossible to remember. She concealed her bewilderment without distraction, while secretly scolding Jing Mingshuai in her heart. Isn't this obviously embarrassing for herself.
But the man opposite directly interpreted Xiao Jingrui's embarrassment as shyness, and he was even amused: "Xiao Ruirui, that time you climbed over the wall and went outside the school to eat barbecue in the middle of the night, I invited you."
"..." The number of times Xiao Jingrui sneaked out of school in order to eat in this life has probably soared to three digits. As long as Jing Mingshuai is with him, he will inevitably call one or two cronies, so she still can't remember who this person is in front of her.
"Oh, brother Zhang Cheng!" Jing Mingshuai couldn't stand it anymore, he shouldn't have used this kind of question to test Xiao Jingrui.
"Oh, Brother Zhang Cheng." At this point, Xiao Jingrui still didn't remember, the person in front of him, is he sure he has treated himself to a barbecue?However, the name "Zhang Cheng" has been heard countless times from his uncle and aunt before, and he seems to be Jing Mingshuai's best friend.
"Long time no see, little Ruirui, have you lost weight? Or have you grown taller?" Zhang Cheng smiled cheerfully, revealing a row of neat teeth, then turned his head and said to Jing Mingshuai: "It's been many years, after graduating from high school I haven't seen her since."
"Who knew you, you went to the army without saying a word." Jing Mingshuai pretended to complain to him, pointing his thumb at him and boasting to Xiao Jingrui: "You know this guy, he was better than me back then , I didn’t expect to be a soldier for two years and come back to be successful. Before that, I was working as an errand in the police station you said when I went out and turned left. I was an official, but I resigned and left.”
"What's the future? It's not my old man who is not an official." Zhang Cheng waved his hands with disdain, but he obviously took advantage of Jing Mingshuai's words.
"So you are all colleagues?" Xiao Jingrui looked at the people on the left and right, and after a long time in this room, except for Jing Mingshuai and himself, all of them have worked as policemen?
"Except for the two of us." Hearing a negative answer from the crowd, Xiao Jingrui saw the man holding the camera spread his hands, hugging the other person next to him and grinning at her.
"They are members of the urban management brigade. If you fight with people on the street in the future, you should find them." Jing Mingshuai said.
Xiao Jingrui nodded "oh", thinking that I'm not you, and I'm still fighting...
"Don't worry, little Ruirui, we are all from our own family," Zhang Cheng said hello to Jing Mingshuai in a low voice, then waved towards Xiao Jingrui and walked towards the door, "If you have anything to do in the future, feel free to come to you Brother Zhang Cheng, we There is something else, let's go~"
"Oh, goodbye..." Xiao Jingrui stood there a little bit unresponsive, and the whole room had already left.
Jing Mingshuai leaned against the table triumphantly and waited for Xiao Jingrui to praise him, but unexpectedly, Xiao Jingrui slapped him, which made his vest burn and hurt.
"How many times have I told you, don't always stand out for me like this, how old are you, can you handle things in a more mature way?" Xiao Jingrui still remembers that in school, Jing Mingshuai would take people there every three days There were fights and troubles, and her uncle and aunt often apologized to others because of these incidents.
"He bullies my sister, I can't stand it, what's wrong with teaching him a lesson? Before he was in the company, he was a colleague. I listened to you and I endured it. Now that he has resigned, why don't you vent your anger?" Jing Mingshuai A series of rhetorical questions, spoken with confidence and confidence, made Xiao Jingrui completely unable to refute.
"All right, all right, you're right, I'm too lazy to tell you."
"Isn't that right? I wanted to clean up their group of people at first, but who knows, he came alone, and it's cheaper for the others..." At this moment, Jing Mingshuai glanced at the person in front of him and gave him a sideways glance. , he shrugged his shoulders at her with a playful smile, and closed his mouth obediently.
Xiao Jingrui looked back, lifted the bag on his back, walked towards the door without saying a word, paused when he opened the door, and turned around: "Thank you, I will not be an example."
"Hehehe, I know." Jing Mingshuai smiled and pointed at the door, making a "please" gesture.
......
In the dead of night, the lights of Wanjia were turned off one by one, and Xiao Jingrui's kitchen was brightly lit.The small hole on the lid of the steamer was emitting white gas, and the chopped green onions were placed on the cutting board. Xiao Jingrui slowly put various dipping materials into the two small bowls.
"What's for supper tonight?" Zhai Qin didn't know when he entered the kitchen.
"Are you done?" Xiao Jingrui turned her head and pecked her fair cheek.
"It's almost there," Zhai Qin watched as Xiao Jingrui carefully lifted the lid of the pot, and wrapped the steamed dumplings with a dishcloth on the side of the plate, and brought them out, "When did you make the dumplings? Did you buy them?"
"Your mother-in-law brought it."
Zhai Qin let out an "oh", passed her hands behind Xiao Jingrui's back, wrapped her arms around her waist, and leaned against her body.
"Tired?" Xiao Jingrui asked her softly, "Hey, let me feed you dumplings."
"Yeah." Zhai Qin narrowed his eyes, resting his chin lightly on Xiao Jingrui's shoulder.
After eating a plate of dumplings for almost an hour, Xiao Jingrui started to put away the dishes and told Zhai Qin to take a bath first and go to bed early, but Zhai Qin insisted on cleaning up with her.
"Qinqin, are you at the company tomorrow?" Xiao Jingrui was in charge of washing it up, and Zhai Qin stood beside her and helped her dry the water.
"Well, I should have been in the company these two days, what's wrong?"
"No, just ask. My mother will ask me to go home for dinner tomorrow at noon. I put dumplings in the refrigerator lunch box for you. You can take them to the company tomorrow. They are all steamed. You can ask Xiaowen to warm them up for you." Eat it, put the dipping plate in it together, it’s in a small lunch box.”
"Tomorrow Saturday, don't go to the company, and spend time with your parents."
"No, the company still has a lot of things to do, I'll just go back at noon."
"Work is never done, and parents are more important than that."
"Wife is also important~" Xiao Jingrui put the last bowl in Zhai Qin's hand, and drew a stroke on her face with wet fingers, "Well, I'll go home in the morning and come over in the afternoon after lunch? No way, Mr. Zhai~"
"It's time to leave." Zhai Qin rubbed the cold water off his face with the back of his hand, and wiped the bowl, but his eyes were not on the bowl, but on Xiao Jingrui.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Jingrui noticed that Zhai Qin had been looking at him.
"You don't have anything else to tell me?" Zhai Qin asked her with a smile, which made Xiao Jingrui feel guilty.
"Say...what?" Xiao Jingrui racked his brains and couldn't figure out what else he didn't explain to Zhai Qin.
"Someone came to my company to make trouble this morning." Zhai Qin reminded her.
"Who dares to come to trouble you?!" Xiao Jingrui was about to pick up the kitchen knife as if he was about to pick up the kitchen knife. At this moment, he suddenly realized that he turned his face and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? Hey, they are all friends of Jing Mingshuai. People, they didn't come to make trouble."
"Beating someone in my company, isn't that called making trouble?"
Xiao Jingrui blinked his eyes twice, seeing that Zhai Qin seemed to be really upset, he explained to her seriously: "It's really not causing trouble, indeed, Jing Mingshuai did not think well, I have already educated him, Qin Qin, you don't have to argue with him."
After Xiao Jingrui finished speaking, seeing Zhai Qin's expression did not relax, he pestered her and acted coquettishly: "Qinqin, I'm sorry, I apologize to you on his behalf, I promise, this kind of thing will never happen again I will tell Jing Mingshuai tomorrow that he will fight in the future, and fight far away, and don’t bring those messy people to the company! Qinqin, you don’t care about villains, don’t be angry, okay, don’t be angry " She said as she wanted to get into Zhai Qin's arms.
"What's next? Still want to fight?" Zhai Qin deliberately pushed her away.
"Hmm..." Xiao Jingrui was stunned for a moment, and quickly changed his words: "No more, no more, Shuai Jing Ming dares to fight again in the future. He hasn't fought yet, so I must beat him down first!"
"I'm not talking about him, I'm talking about you."
"Me? I didn't hit..." Xiao Jingrui was really wronged now.
"I heard that you were in the office this morning?"
"I was called in by Jing Mingshuai. I didn't know he was going to beat someone at the time."
"Have you thought about the consequences of doing this? You are hitting former colleagues who are familiar with each other. You knew to find foreign aid before the fight. Why didn't you know to avoid it when you were fighting? Waiting for him to settle the score with you after he goes out?" Zhai Qin was not angry that Xiao Jingrui beat someone, but that she didn't know how to protect herself.If Xiaowen hadn't reported this incident to herself in time today, she would have found someone to follow the planner who was beaten all the way, and stopped him before he was about to enter the police station, maybe she was on the way to the police station to protect Xiao Jingrui. Woolen cloth.
"I... didn't think about it that much, and I didn't have any experience in this area before...Jing Mingshuai said..."
"Okay, that's the end of this matter. If you want to do anything in the future, you must tell me in advance."
"Obey, daughter-in-law!"
Spring is here, the dawn is getting earlier and earlier, and the birds are singing more.Xiao Jingrui didn't know when Zhai Qin left, but he just vaguely felt that she kissed him, and when he woke up, he was the only one left at home.Seeing that the person on the bed had moved, Xiaozi jumped up and down on the floor several times excitedly, and finally put his two short legs on the edge of Xiao Jingrui's bed as if he had exerted all his strength.
"Wow!~~"
"Wang Wang Wang~~~"
"Okay, okay, I got it, good boy." Xiao Jingrui stretched out his hands lazily and rubbed the little guy's head to show comfort, then turned over and continued to lie down.
She opened her eyes and looked out the window, with one leg stretched out of the quilt, already awake, but didn't want to get up.It's not because I want to stay in bed, but because I don't want to get up to face the upcoming people and things.
The leg outside gradually cooled down. Really, it has been a long time since the beginning of spring, why the weather is not warm yet.Xiao Jingrui put her legs back under the quilt, turned over again, stayed there for a while, then threw off the quilt and sat up.What should come will always come, what should be faced must be faced. I went to this Hongmen banquet and came back early to see my wife!
Because he had to go to the company in the afternoon, Xiao Jingrui drove the car when he went out.The car was driving slowly in the basement parking lot with the lights on, and saw a car parked in the parking space of her house from a distance. Xiao Jingrui knew that it was her father's car. It seems that her father today at home.
Xiao Jingrui looked at the front of the car protruding from the parking space at home, the quiet parking lot, and for some reason, she couldn't help but sighed, then turned around at the corner at the end, and drove the car to the second floor Find a temporary parking space.
The exit of the parking lot is just next to Xiao Jingrui's parents' apartment building. When you come up from the parking lot, you can see the balcony at home as soon as you look up.Before entering the unit door, she had already heard the voices of her parents talking.Most of them are cooking, cooking, peeling garlic, washing and chopping onions, etc. The most common conversations made Xiao Jingrui feel an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"Come back, hurry up, go to the door and buy me a bottle of soy sauce~" Before he opened the door and had no time to take off his shoes, Mama Xiao ordered her to come down first.
"Oh." Xiao Jingrui turned around and went out, closing the door behind her.
"Oh, no need! Rui Rui~" Xiao Ma's voice came from the half-hidden door, Xiao Jingrui stood in the middle of the stairs and looked back, Xiao Ma appeared at the door holding the door lock with one hand, "No need to go Yes, the phone for delivery from the convenience store can be connected."
"it is good."
Xiao Jingrui watched the back of her mother walk into the kitchen, and started chatting endlessly with her father in the kitchen as soon as she entered. For her mother's nagging, the father has always accepted her mother's nagging, only occasionally arguing softly. A word or two.
Everything is so normal, as before, a harmonious family.If possible, Xiao Jingrui really didn't want to break this harmony.
During the meal, several times when Xiao Jingrui's words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.She couldn't bear to ruin such a happy family because of her own words, but she knew in her heart that what should be said still had to be said, if she didn't make up her mind to fight for it, the result would only be a replica of a few years ago.Anyway, she had already made up her mind when she came, this time it was not a discussion, but an announcement, so no matter whether her parents accepted it or not, the matter was a foregone conclusion.
But anyway, let's talk after this meal.Xiao Jingrui thought silently.
"Your mother discussed it with me that night," Xiao's father, who had been silently listening to Xiao's mother chatting about his parents, suddenly changed the subject and said to Xiao Jingrui, "We as parents don't want you to live well, hope You are happy, and transferring your job is also helping you make long-term plans. You child, if you really don’t want to go, forget it. Anyway, that’s what I’m talking about. If I don’t go this time, I can’t help but regret it later. .”
"Ok, I know."
"It's up to you, are you happy now?"
"Yeah." Xiao Jingrui's mind is not on work at the moment.
"Really happy? Why are you still depressed, and you don't say a word during the meal."
"No."
"Are you unhappy or not?" Dad Xiao saw that his daughter seemed to have something on his mind, and wanted to tease her.
"Oh, Dad, eat."
Xiao's mother on the side saw it, but she knew everything in her heart, put down the bowl, and called her aside before Xiao Jingrui could find her.
"What you told me that day..." Xiao's mother glanced at Xiao Jingrui, then moved her eyes elsewhere, "Since you have said that, I have to admit it if I don't want to. Hey, I thought you were It's just a joke, I thought you've recovered after a few years, who knew you..."
"What's all right, I'm always good." Xiao Jingrui interrupted her in a low voice.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, let's not talk about it, and don't tell others outside, especially in the work unit. It's right for our family to know about these things. From now on," Mama Xiao paused again, " If you bring a girl back in the future, we will tell people that it is your best friend, or I can recognize a goddaughter. Also, I haven’t told him about your father. He is not in good health. What’s the matter? You know you're bored in your heart, so don't rush to provoke him, I'll find an opportunity to tell him slowly."
Xiao Jingrui gave a soft "hmm" and nodded.Her old mother usually looks like she is laughing and doing her own way, but she is actually a traditional and stubborn person in her heart. Xiao Jingrui knows that she can say such a thing today, which is already the biggest concession she has made to her daughter. , Before that, there was inevitably a difficult struggle in my heart.
Mother Xiao looked at Xiao Jingrui, who was silent. This child has always been lacking in expression. The more she needs to express her emotions, the more dull she looks. At this moment, she can't tell what she is thinking, but I can be sure. What's more, she has no objection to what she just said.For such a strong person like myself, when has he ever suffered a loss and made concessions in the past few decades, that is, in front of this child, he endured and endured, yielding again and again... Thinking of this, Mother Xiao couldn't help but sigh , touched Xiao Jingrui's shoulder, but Xiao Jingrui remained motionless, silent and expressionless.
Xiao Jingrui was reflecting on whether she was too selfish, and whether doing so was too cruel to her parents.Seeing how emaciated her mother was when she made this decision, she felt as if someone was beating her with a hammer, and she was blocked and hurt.She is not afraid of being scolded, not afraid of quarrels, when she came, she had already thought out her arguments, was ready to argue with reason, and even planned to walk away if the conversation could not go on, who knew that her old mother would take the initiative to tell her After saying this, Xiao Jingrui felt guilty and couldn't bear her retreat.But what could she do otherwise?She is a person with feelings and independent thinking. The pursuit of happiness is a human instinct. For Xiao Jingrui, giving up love for the sake of so-called filial piety is called ignorance.So when I look back and think about it, is my coming out this time a success?
Gradually, the joy that grew in my heart covered up all the previous negative emotions.She succeeded, she can finally live a good life with the person she likes, go back to tell Qinqin at night!
"Now can you tell mom who that girl is?" Xiao's mother's soft voice interrupted Xiao Jingrui's train of thought.
"Ah, what girl?" Xiao Jingrui pretended to be stupid and said, she was still a bit vigilant at the moment.
"You think I can't see your mother. After all, I have raised you for more than 20 years. If your mouth is crooked, I will know what you are going to do."
"Oh, what am I going to do now?"
"Hey, what is Xiao Zhai up to lately? It must not be easy for her to start her own company. Why didn't you call her over today?" Mother Xiao turned the topic on her own.
"I'm going home for dinner, why did I call her?" Xiao Jingrui unconsciously accentuated his tone because he was not honest.
Xiao's mother didn't take Xiao Jingrui's tone seriously, and smiled calmly: "I cook a lot of soup this time, and you can bring some to Xiao Zhai later, she needs it more than you."
"What do you mean she needs love more than me?" From what his mother said, Xiao Jingrui realized that she might have guessed everything. Judging from her attitude right now, she should be admitting her relationship with Zhai Qin.Xiao Jingrui's heart was indescribably happy, and he spoke a lot more easily.
"Look at your body, and look at her. In terms of body, she should drink two more bowls of chicken soup than you."
"My body... What's wrong with my body? I have a standard figure! I have hated me for eating too much and being fat since I was a child. I have smoked bars a few years ago. You still hate..." Xiao Jingrui cursed She walked away and ran to the kitchen immediately to make chicken soup for her daughter-in-law.
"Look at you, are you leaving soon?" Mama Xiao followed into the kitchen.
"Well, the company still has things to do this afternoon." Xiao Jingrui checked the time.
"Look at you, make yourself so nervous again, work..."
"Okay, okay, I know." Xiao Jingrui stopped her mother's nagging in time.
Xiao's mother gave her a displeased look, and walked away. Before leaving, she did not forget to ask: "The soup in the pot has not been salted yet. Does your company have any salt? If you don't put some by yourself. Put it in your lunch box. Don't put it in the pot for me."
……
During the lunch break, most of the lights in the office were turned off, and everyone was doing their own things quietly, occasionally a few snores could be heard.Xiao Jingrui carried an insulated lunch box bag, walked lightly through the office area, and came to the door of Zhai Qin's office, "Dang", "Dang", "Dang", and knocked on the door three times.
"Please come in."
After getting permission, Xiao Jingrui happily pushed the door open and went in: "Please, why are you so polite to me~"
Zhai Qin looked up at her: "Who knew you came back so early. How is it, the feeling of a family banquet."
"Of course it's excellent~ Hey, haven't you eaten yet?" Xiao Jingrui glanced at the dumpling on the side, and from the small drops of water on the lid of the lunch box, it could be seen that it had been overheated.
"Oh, eat it right away."
Xiao Jingrui didn't say that Zhai Qin really forgot that she didn't have lunch, she just picked up the lunch box, but Xiao Jingrui snatched it away.
"It's cold, I'll reheat it for you, you drink this chicken soup first, this one is hot."
When Xiao Jingrui heated up the dumplings and came back, seeing that Zhai Qin had already drank the soup, his happy eyes were like those of a mother who sees a child gorging on a meal.
"How is it? Is it delicious? I adjusted the taste. My mother always doesn't like to put salt in the soup pot. She is afraid of nitrite."
"Delicious~" Zhai Qin smiled like a happy little woman, "How could your cooking not be delicious?"
"Hey, actually I just put some salt, my mother made it, the dumplings are ready to eat, be careful not to burn them."
Xiao Jingrui watched Zhai Qin eat two dumplings and put down his chopsticks. Just as he was about to ask, the other party said, "I drank chicken soup just now, and I can't eat any more."
"How can this work, my mother said, you are too thin, you need to make up!"
"Xiao Jingrui, why did you go home and become a mother? Did your mother tell you anything else?"
"My mother also said that next time I go home, I have to take you with me."
"why?"
"An ugly daughter-in-law has to see her in-laws."
"Don't be poor with me, you said that, huh? My clown wife." Zhai Qin said and teased Xiao Jingrui with his hand.
Xiao Jingrui slapped her outstretched hand away: "Don't change the topic, eat quickly, at least eat... two more! I'll watch you eat."
"It's really boring." Zhai Qin glanced at her and picked up the chopsticks.
Xiao Jingrui didn't take it seriously, and persistently supervised Zhai Qin's eating dumplings.Maybe he was really full, Zhai Qin ate these two dumplings especially slowly.
"Forget it, I see you really can't eat anymore, don't eat it, don't overwhelm my wife in a while." Saying this, before Zhai Qin could answer, she snatched her dumplings in front of her, picked up one and gave it to her. into the mouth.It's a pity to throw away so many dumplings.
Seeing Xiao Jingrui eating his leftover dumplings so naturally, Zhai Qin was startled at first, and then felt indescribably warm in his heart.In my impression, only when she was very young, her mother would eat what she had eaten without any scruples.
"What are you looking at me for?" Xiao Jingrui stopped chewing, thinking that Zhai Qin's eyes might be because he disliked his behavior of eating leftovers, right? "I only eat your leftovers, I haven't eaten anyone else's." She explained stupidly.
"I know," Zhai Qin smiled, "I'm just looking at you, you have a good appetite."
"That's not true, otherwise my mother always said that there was a little mouse at home." Xiao Jingrui stuffed another dumpling into his mouth. At this time, he thought about work. Anyway, there are only the two of them in the office now, so he just mentioned it as a casual chat. With a mouthful: "Did they come to tell you about how many levels the game is open to?"
Zhai Qin raised his eyebrows, "In the first half of the year, only half of the grades are open. Your producer came to discuss with me this morning, you know?"
"Huh?" Xiao Jingrui suddenly understood something, "I suggested it to him, how could I not know."
"You suggested?"
"nonsense."
Yesterday, the planning side sorted out all the recent needs to Xiao Jingrui. After Xiao Jingrui roughly calculated the progress of the art, he found the main planner and producer, and discussed with them whether only half of the game levels could be released in the first half of the year. , the art resources are temporarily only replaced with the opened levels, which can reduce the workload and overhead by at least one-third.Blindly speeding up the progress will only affect the quality of the product, and the gains outweigh the losses.However, from Zhai Qin's mouth today, it became the producer's suggestion. This guy wants to take the credit for his feelings. He lost because he didn't know that the person he wanted to claim credit for was Xiao Jingrui's daughter-in-law!
"For 'the first half of the year', the time has dragged on a bit too long. I told him that with May Day as the node, the operation side has just implemented the server opening activities and Qingming activities, and is now planning
Knocked on the door twice, but no one answered, Xiao Jingrui pushed open the door and walked in, when a hand suddenly reached out from behind and grabbed her backpack.
"Hey, sister, you really have melon seeds!" Jing Mingshuai's beating voice came from behind, and at the same time she heard the sound of her backpack being unzipped.
Jing Mingshuai rummaged through Xiao Jingrui's backpack without hesitation: "This is enough, and instant noodles? Let me have a bucket." Before Xiao Jingrui could answer, a bucket of braised beef Jing Mingshuai took the noodles into his bag, "Oh, you've got everything ready, give me two ham sausages too~"
"One!" Xiao Jingrui pulled out a ham sausage from Jing Mingshuai's hand and returned, "Bandits don't even let people eat late at night."
"Need to work overtime? Isn't the company subsidizing supper now? Why do you bring so much?"
"Bring it if you have it at home."
"Yo yo yo, if you want to save someone's money, just say so!" Jing Mingshuai squinted his eyes and smiled at her, "But I don't want you to pay for a few buckets of instant noodles, hehehe, hehehe..."
Xiao Jingrui was about to punch that guy, when suddenly a tall man jumped out from behind the cabinet next to him, holding a small video camera in his hand, he reminded Jing Mingshuai: "Handsome guy, people should coming."
"Quick, hide!" Jing Mingshuai waved his hand, and Xiao Jingrui and the man with the camera hid sideways behind the cabinet at the same time, and he himself sat down at the front end of a table in the middle.
A second later, Xiao Jingrui wondered alone, hey, why did she listen to Jing Mingshuai's orders? She didn't know what was going on, and just watched them work hard, and she became nervous.
Five minutes later, the smell of sweat from the man next to him was mixed with the smell of smoke, which made Xiao Jingrui really uncomfortable, so he jumped out and shouted at Jing Mingshuai, "What are you doing?!"
Jing Mingshuai opened his mouth, stared at Xiao Jingrui in a daze for two seconds, then turned his head and asked the man: "Ask you, what are you doing? Didn't you say someone is coming?"
The man with the camera stared blankly at Jing Mingshuai, and explained with an innocent face: "The buddy who was letting out the air just now said that there is a person who looks like him, and he came up..." Before he finished speaking, the phone in the man's pants There was a ring, and he took a look, "This time, it's here!" After speaking, he tugged on Xiao Jingrui's sleeve, and hid her behind the cabinet together.
Within 2 minutes, there was a knock on the office door.Just as Xiao Jingrui poked his head out, wanting to see who was knocking on the door, he was immediately pulled back by the person next to him. The man raised his index finger to his mouth, motioning her to keep silent.
The door rang several times, and Xiao Jingrui saw Jing Mingshuai sitting there, and had no intention of answering the door at all.Not long after, she heard the sound of the door lock being unscrewed.
"Xiao Zhou hasn't come yet?"
Xiao Jingrui felt very familiar when he heard this male voice.Xiao Zhou was the front desk of the company before, because he was often in charge of ordering takeout for everyone, so Xiao Jingrui remembered this number of people. Transferred to the personnel department.But at this moment, Xiao Jingrui was thinking, besides Jing Mingshuai, he was the only one in this office. Xiao Zhou was probably dismissed by Jing Mingshuai. So, who is the person who is looking for Xiao Zhou? Who is it, who is it...
While worrying about his memory, Xiao Jingrui looked at Jing Mingshuai, listened carefully to his conversation with that person, and tried to find some clues about the male voice from their conversation.
I saw Shuai Jing Ming playing with a ballpoint pen on the table without looking up, and answered the man in a lazy voice: "You came so early, of course he didn't come."
"I called her two days ago."
"So what?" Jing Mingshuai threw the pen back on the table, finally raised his head, and stared in the direction of the door with disdain on his face: "You make an appointment at this time, are you ashamed to see your former colleagues? Hey, be a man , to be like you, it is quite annoying..."
"Why are you here? You are..." The man interrupted Jing Mingshuai, but he couldn't finish his sentence, and Jing Mingshuai cut it off again.
"Your grandpa!" Jing Mingshuai took his words, slapped the table and stood up, "Brothers, give it to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the person next to Xiao Jingrui rushed out and locked the door, then picked up the camera, adjusted the angle, and stuck it at the door like a wall.
Before the man could react, the door of the inner office was slammed open, and five or six men came out one after another.
Jing Mingshuai is considered to be a taller type, and these five or six men stood beside him, but none of them lost to him.The man who just came in saw such a group of people suddenly gathered in front of him, and they were gearing up at him, he couldn't help but start to panic: "You... what are you doing? It's broad daylight, you want to hit someone?"
Looking at the man's expression, Xiao Jingrui finally recognized him based on his figure and the content of his conversation with Jing Mingshuai just now. Isn't this man the master planner Dong Ge who always brought people to pick on her.
"Yoha? Hehe, we don't beat people, we beat dogs!" Following the last syllable of the word "dog" by Jing Mingshuai, a ruthless punch hit Brother Dong in the middle of the door.
Unexpectedly, Brother Dong staggered back, wiped the place where he was beaten, bared his teeth and scolded: "You fucking..." Before he could utter the words, he was kicked on the ground. on the ground.
After a few rounds, Brother Dong was beaten so badly that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. It was hard to tell whether it was snot or sweat on his face.Jing Mingshuai grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up from the ground: "With your virtue and what you have done, how dare you come to resign? You said that you have already left, so why do you want to resign? If you knew how unpopular you are, I would hide at home and cover my face with a quilt every day, and I would disappear!"
Brother Dong gritted his teeth, panting heavily, and opened his swollen eyes to stare at Jing Mingshuai.
"Why, you're still not convinced? You still want to fight back?" Jing Mingshuai glanced at Brother Dong's raised right hand and stepped on it.
Brother Dong yelled, sweating coldly in pain.
"Yeah, why don't you just jump ship, understandable, but you always made things difficult for my sister before, so I can't understand..."
"Handsome guy, it's fine." Xiao Jingrui couldn't stand it any longer. She didn't like Dong Ge, and this man did often trouble her, and even forced her out of the company, so that even now she still occasionally hears Someone behind him is pointing fingers.But because of these, beating people like this is really too much, just these injuries are enough for him to lie at home for ten days and a half months.But compared to these injuries, Xiao Jingrui cared more about Jing Mingshuai, worried that this guy would act impulsively and get into trouble again.
"That's enough?" Jing Mingshuai turned his head to look at her, "Why don't you give me two punches to relieve my anger?"
"Untie the hair, let him go." Xiao Jingrui looked at Dong Ge's face that was bruised and purple and still covered with some liquid, and couldn't help but rubbed his hands on his pants twice, so dirty She doesn't want to touch Xi's face.
"Sister, you are so kind and kind. You don't know how small he was when you were not in the company." Jing Mingshuai grabbed Dong Ge's collar hard , then threw him back, clapped his hands and stood up, seeing that the people on the ground did not move, he shouted impatiently: "Did you hear me, you can go!"
Xiao Jingrui watched Dong Ge slowly get up from the ground using both hands and feet. During this process, he scanned everyone in the room one by one with his eyes that were barely opened, until finally the door was closed. The man with the camera, the man waved at him calmly and smiled, raised the camera a little higher, took a close-up of his poor face, then raised his kick, and was about to kick him in the stomach.
Brother Dong was so frightened that he hugged his stomach and shrank into a ball, trembling like a frightened mouse.
The man sighed, put his feet down, and put away the camera: "What's the matter? I think the grandpas are handsome, so I can't bear to leave? Look at you, get out!"
Brother Dong ran away like shit, Jing Mingshuai took two steps, took the camera from the man and handed it to Xiao Jingrui.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Jingrui didn't understand what he meant.
Jing Mingshuai took the camera back, and after fiddling for a long time, he finally took out the memory card. This time he just handed over the memory card: "Take it, take it out for fun when you're in a bad mood."
Xiao Jingrui frowned and shook her head: "Are you going to be a pervert?"
"Then do you want it?" Jing Mingshuai held the hand of the memory card and handed it to Xiao Jingrui.
"No." Xiao Jingrui's face was full of disgust, and she didn't want to look at that card too much, she didn't have such a bad taste.
Seeing that she really didn't want it, Jing Mingshuai returned the camera and the card, and said, "Delete, delete."
Xiao Jingrui also admired Jing Mingshuai, and it was nothing if he hit someone, so he couldn't help but want to say to him: "Turn left when you go out, and the police station is there, you guys..."
"He's going to give it a try!" Jing Mingshuai interrupted Xiao Jingrui. He knew what she was worried about, and he pulled the one who stood at the front among the men next to him to him, and patted her. The human shoulder asked Xiao Jingrui: "Do you still remember him?"
Xiao Jingrui's face blindness is of course impossible to remember. She concealed her bewilderment without distraction, while secretly scolding Jing Mingshuai in her heart. Isn't this obviously embarrassing for herself.
But the man opposite directly interpreted Xiao Jingrui's embarrassment as shyness, and he was even amused: "Xiao Ruirui, that time you climbed over the wall and went outside the school to eat barbecue in the middle of the night, I invited you."
"..." The number of times Xiao Jingrui sneaked out of school in order to eat in this life has probably soared to three digits. As long as Jing Mingshuai is with him, he will inevitably call one or two cronies, so she still can't remember who this person is in front of her.
"Oh, brother Zhang Cheng!" Jing Mingshuai couldn't stand it anymore, he shouldn't have used this kind of question to test Xiao Jingrui.
"Oh, Brother Zhang Cheng." At this point, Xiao Jingrui still didn't remember, the person in front of him, is he sure he has treated himself to a barbecue?However, the name "Zhang Cheng" has been heard countless times from his uncle and aunt before, and he seems to be Jing Mingshuai's best friend.
"Long time no see, little Ruirui, have you lost weight? Or have you grown taller?" Zhang Cheng smiled cheerfully, revealing a row of neat teeth, then turned his head and said to Jing Mingshuai: "It's been many years, after graduating from high school I haven't seen her since."
"Who knew you, you went to the army without saying a word." Jing Mingshuai pretended to complain to him, pointing his thumb at him and boasting to Xiao Jingrui: "You know this guy, he was better than me back then , I didn’t expect to be a soldier for two years and come back to be successful. Before that, I was working as an errand in the police station you said when I went out and turned left. I was an official, but I resigned and left.”
"What's the future? It's not my old man who is not an official." Zhang Cheng waved his hands with disdain, but he obviously took advantage of Jing Mingshuai's words.
"So you are all colleagues?" Xiao Jingrui looked at the people on the left and right, and after a long time in this room, except for Jing Mingshuai and himself, all of them have worked as policemen?
"Except for the two of us." Hearing a negative answer from the crowd, Xiao Jingrui saw the man holding the camera spread his hands, hugging the other person next to him and grinning at her.
"They are members of the urban management brigade. If you fight with people on the street in the future, you should find them." Jing Mingshuai said.
Xiao Jingrui nodded "oh", thinking that I'm not you, and I'm still fighting...
"Don't worry, little Ruirui, we are all from our own family," Zhang Cheng said hello to Jing Mingshuai in a low voice, then waved towards Xiao Jingrui and walked towards the door, "If you have anything to do in the future, feel free to come to you Brother Zhang Cheng, we There is something else, let's go~"
"Oh, goodbye..." Xiao Jingrui stood there a little bit unresponsive, and the whole room had already left.
Jing Mingshuai leaned against the table triumphantly and waited for Xiao Jingrui to praise him, but unexpectedly, Xiao Jingrui slapped him, which made his vest burn and hurt.
"How many times have I told you, don't always stand out for me like this, how old are you, can you handle things in a more mature way?" Xiao Jingrui still remembers that in school, Jing Mingshuai would take people there every three days There were fights and troubles, and her uncle and aunt often apologized to others because of these incidents.
"He bullies my sister, I can't stand it, what's wrong with teaching him a lesson? Before he was in the company, he was a colleague. I listened to you and I endured it. Now that he has resigned, why don't you vent your anger?" Jing Mingshuai A series of rhetorical questions, spoken with confidence and confidence, made Xiao Jingrui completely unable to refute.
"All right, all right, you're right, I'm too lazy to tell you."
"Isn't that right? I wanted to clean up their group of people at first, but who knows, he came alone, and it's cheaper for the others..." At this moment, Jing Mingshuai glanced at the person in front of him and gave him a sideways glance. , he shrugged his shoulders at her with a playful smile, and closed his mouth obediently.
Xiao Jingrui looked back, lifted the bag on his back, walked towards the door without saying a word, paused when he opened the door, and turned around: "Thank you, I will not be an example."
"Hehehe, I know." Jing Mingshuai smiled and pointed at the door, making a "please" gesture.
......
In the dead of night, the lights of Wanjia were turned off one by one, and Xiao Jingrui's kitchen was brightly lit.The small hole on the lid of the steamer was emitting white gas, and the chopped green onions were placed on the cutting board. Xiao Jingrui slowly put various dipping materials into the two small bowls.
"What's for supper tonight?" Zhai Qin didn't know when he entered the kitchen.
"Are you done?" Xiao Jingrui turned her head and pecked her fair cheek.
"It's almost there," Zhai Qin watched as Xiao Jingrui carefully lifted the lid of the pot, and wrapped the steamed dumplings with a dishcloth on the side of the plate, and brought them out, "When did you make the dumplings? Did you buy them?"
"Your mother-in-law brought it."
Zhai Qin let out an "oh", passed her hands behind Xiao Jingrui's back, wrapped her arms around her waist, and leaned against her body.
"Tired?" Xiao Jingrui asked her softly, "Hey, let me feed you dumplings."
"Yeah." Zhai Qin narrowed his eyes, resting his chin lightly on Xiao Jingrui's shoulder.
After eating a plate of dumplings for almost an hour, Xiao Jingrui started to put away the dishes and told Zhai Qin to take a bath first and go to bed early, but Zhai Qin insisted on cleaning up with her.
"Qinqin, are you at the company tomorrow?" Xiao Jingrui was in charge of washing it up, and Zhai Qin stood beside her and helped her dry the water.
"Well, I should have been in the company these two days, what's wrong?"
"No, just ask. My mother will ask me to go home for dinner tomorrow at noon. I put dumplings in the refrigerator lunch box for you. You can take them to the company tomorrow. They are all steamed. You can ask Xiaowen to warm them up for you." Eat it, put the dipping plate in it together, it’s in a small lunch box.”
"Tomorrow Saturday, don't go to the company, and spend time with your parents."
"No, the company still has a lot of things to do, I'll just go back at noon."
"Work is never done, and parents are more important than that."
"Wife is also important~" Xiao Jingrui put the last bowl in Zhai Qin's hand, and drew a stroke on her face with wet fingers, "Well, I'll go home in the morning and come over in the afternoon after lunch? No way, Mr. Zhai~"
"It's time to leave." Zhai Qin rubbed the cold water off his face with the back of his hand, and wiped the bowl, but his eyes were not on the bowl, but on Xiao Jingrui.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Jingrui noticed that Zhai Qin had been looking at him.
"You don't have anything else to tell me?" Zhai Qin asked her with a smile, which made Xiao Jingrui feel guilty.
"Say...what?" Xiao Jingrui racked his brains and couldn't figure out what else he didn't explain to Zhai Qin.
"Someone came to my company to make trouble this morning." Zhai Qin reminded her.
"Who dares to come to trouble you?!" Xiao Jingrui was about to pick up the kitchen knife as if he was about to pick up the kitchen knife. At this moment, he suddenly realized that he turned his face and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? Hey, they are all friends of Jing Mingshuai. People, they didn't come to make trouble."
"Beating someone in my company, isn't that called making trouble?"
Xiao Jingrui blinked his eyes twice, seeing that Zhai Qin seemed to be really upset, he explained to her seriously: "It's really not causing trouble, indeed, Jing Mingshuai did not think well, I have already educated him, Qin Qin, you don't have to argue with him."
After Xiao Jingrui finished speaking, seeing Zhai Qin's expression did not relax, he pestered her and acted coquettishly: "Qinqin, I'm sorry, I apologize to you on his behalf, I promise, this kind of thing will never happen again I will tell Jing Mingshuai tomorrow that he will fight in the future, and fight far away, and don’t bring those messy people to the company! Qinqin, you don’t care about villains, don’t be angry, okay, don’t be angry " She said as she wanted to get into Zhai Qin's arms.
"What's next? Still want to fight?" Zhai Qin deliberately pushed her away.
"Hmm..." Xiao Jingrui was stunned for a moment, and quickly changed his words: "No more, no more, Shuai Jing Ming dares to fight again in the future. He hasn't fought yet, so I must beat him down first!"
"I'm not talking about him, I'm talking about you."
"Me? I didn't hit..." Xiao Jingrui was really wronged now.
"I heard that you were in the office this morning?"
"I was called in by Jing Mingshuai. I didn't know he was going to beat someone at the time."
"Have you thought about the consequences of doing this? You are hitting former colleagues who are familiar with each other. You knew to find foreign aid before the fight. Why didn't you know to avoid it when you were fighting? Waiting for him to settle the score with you after he goes out?" Zhai Qin was not angry that Xiao Jingrui beat someone, but that she didn't know how to protect herself.If Xiaowen hadn't reported this incident to herself in time today, she would have found someone to follow the planner who was beaten all the way, and stopped him before he was about to enter the police station, maybe she was on the way to the police station to protect Xiao Jingrui. Woolen cloth.
"I... didn't think about it that much, and I didn't have any experience in this area before...Jing Mingshuai said..."
"Okay, that's the end of this matter. If you want to do anything in the future, you must tell me in advance."
"Obey, daughter-in-law!"
Spring is here, the dawn is getting earlier and earlier, and the birds are singing more.Xiao Jingrui didn't know when Zhai Qin left, but he just vaguely felt that she kissed him, and when he woke up, he was the only one left at home.Seeing that the person on the bed had moved, Xiaozi jumped up and down on the floor several times excitedly, and finally put his two short legs on the edge of Xiao Jingrui's bed as if he had exerted all his strength.
"Wow!~~"
"Wang Wang Wang~~~"
"Okay, okay, I got it, good boy." Xiao Jingrui stretched out his hands lazily and rubbed the little guy's head to show comfort, then turned over and continued to lie down.
She opened her eyes and looked out the window, with one leg stretched out of the quilt, already awake, but didn't want to get up.It's not because I want to stay in bed, but because I don't want to get up to face the upcoming people and things.
The leg outside gradually cooled down. Really, it has been a long time since the beginning of spring, why the weather is not warm yet.Xiao Jingrui put her legs back under the quilt, turned over again, stayed there for a while, then threw off the quilt and sat up.What should come will always come, what should be faced must be faced. I went to this Hongmen banquet and came back early to see my wife!
Because he had to go to the company in the afternoon, Xiao Jingrui drove the car when he went out.The car was driving slowly in the basement parking lot with the lights on, and saw a car parked in the parking space of her house from a distance. Xiao Jingrui knew that it was her father's car. It seems that her father today at home.
Xiao Jingrui looked at the front of the car protruding from the parking space at home, the quiet parking lot, and for some reason, she couldn't help but sighed, then turned around at the corner at the end, and drove the car to the second floor Find a temporary parking space.
The exit of the parking lot is just next to Xiao Jingrui's parents' apartment building. When you come up from the parking lot, you can see the balcony at home as soon as you look up.Before entering the unit door, she had already heard the voices of her parents talking.Most of them are cooking, cooking, peeling garlic, washing and chopping onions, etc. The most common conversations made Xiao Jingrui feel an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"Come back, hurry up, go to the door and buy me a bottle of soy sauce~" Before he opened the door and had no time to take off his shoes, Mama Xiao ordered her to come down first.
"Oh." Xiao Jingrui turned around and went out, closing the door behind her.
"Oh, no need! Rui Rui~" Xiao Ma's voice came from the half-hidden door, Xiao Jingrui stood in the middle of the stairs and looked back, Xiao Ma appeared at the door holding the door lock with one hand, "No need to go Yes, the phone for delivery from the convenience store can be connected."
"it is good."
Xiao Jingrui watched the back of her mother walk into the kitchen, and started chatting endlessly with her father in the kitchen as soon as she entered. For her mother's nagging, the father has always accepted her mother's nagging, only occasionally arguing softly. A word or two.
Everything is so normal, as before, a harmonious family.If possible, Xiao Jingrui really didn't want to break this harmony.
During the meal, several times when Xiao Jingrui's words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.She couldn't bear to ruin such a happy family because of her own words, but she knew in her heart that what should be said still had to be said, if she didn't make up her mind to fight for it, the result would only be a replica of a few years ago.Anyway, she had already made up her mind when she came, this time it was not a discussion, but an announcement, so no matter whether her parents accepted it or not, the matter was a foregone conclusion.
But anyway, let's talk after this meal.Xiao Jingrui thought silently.
"Your mother discussed it with me that night," Xiao's father, who had been silently listening to Xiao's mother chatting about his parents, suddenly changed the subject and said to Xiao Jingrui, "We as parents don't want you to live well, hope You are happy, and transferring your job is also helping you make long-term plans. You child, if you really don’t want to go, forget it. Anyway, that’s what I’m talking about. If I don’t go this time, I can’t help but regret it later. .”
"Ok, I know."
"It's up to you, are you happy now?"
"Yeah." Xiao Jingrui's mind is not on work at the moment.
"Really happy? Why are you still depressed, and you don't say a word during the meal."
"No."
"Are you unhappy or not?" Dad Xiao saw that his daughter seemed to have something on his mind, and wanted to tease her.
"Oh, Dad, eat."
Xiao's mother on the side saw it, but she knew everything in her heart, put down the bowl, and called her aside before Xiao Jingrui could find her.
"What you told me that day..." Xiao's mother glanced at Xiao Jingrui, then moved her eyes elsewhere, "Since you have said that, I have to admit it if I don't want to. Hey, I thought you were It's just a joke, I thought you've recovered after a few years, who knew you..."
"What's all right, I'm always good." Xiao Jingrui interrupted her in a low voice.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, let's not talk about it, and don't tell others outside, especially in the work unit. It's right for our family to know about these things. From now on," Mama Xiao paused again, " If you bring a girl back in the future, we will tell people that it is your best friend, or I can recognize a goddaughter. Also, I haven’t told him about your father. He is not in good health. What’s the matter? You know you're bored in your heart, so don't rush to provoke him, I'll find an opportunity to tell him slowly."
Xiao Jingrui gave a soft "hmm" and nodded.Her old mother usually looks like she is laughing and doing her own way, but she is actually a traditional and stubborn person in her heart. Xiao Jingrui knows that she can say such a thing today, which is already the biggest concession she has made to her daughter. , Before that, there was inevitably a difficult struggle in my heart.
Mother Xiao looked at Xiao Jingrui, who was silent. This child has always been lacking in expression. The more she needs to express her emotions, the more dull she looks. At this moment, she can't tell what she is thinking, but I can be sure. What's more, she has no objection to what she just said.For such a strong person like myself, when has he ever suffered a loss and made concessions in the past few decades, that is, in front of this child, he endured and endured, yielding again and again... Thinking of this, Mother Xiao couldn't help but sigh , touched Xiao Jingrui's shoulder, but Xiao Jingrui remained motionless, silent and expressionless.
Xiao Jingrui was reflecting on whether she was too selfish, and whether doing so was too cruel to her parents.Seeing how emaciated her mother was when she made this decision, she felt as if someone was beating her with a hammer, and she was blocked and hurt.She is not afraid of being scolded, not afraid of quarrels, when she came, she had already thought out her arguments, was ready to argue with reason, and even planned to walk away if the conversation could not go on, who knew that her old mother would take the initiative to tell her After saying this, Xiao Jingrui felt guilty and couldn't bear her retreat.But what could she do otherwise?She is a person with feelings and independent thinking. The pursuit of happiness is a human instinct. For Xiao Jingrui, giving up love for the sake of so-called filial piety is called ignorance.So when I look back and think about it, is my coming out this time a success?
Gradually, the joy that grew in my heart covered up all the previous negative emotions.She succeeded, she can finally live a good life with the person she likes, go back to tell Qinqin at night!
"Now can you tell mom who that girl is?" Xiao's mother's soft voice interrupted Xiao Jingrui's train of thought.
"Ah, what girl?" Xiao Jingrui pretended to be stupid and said, she was still a bit vigilant at the moment.
"You think I can't see your mother. After all, I have raised you for more than 20 years. If your mouth is crooked, I will know what you are going to do."
"Oh, what am I going to do now?"
"Hey, what is Xiao Zhai up to lately? It must not be easy for her to start her own company. Why didn't you call her over today?" Mother Xiao turned the topic on her own.
"I'm going home for dinner, why did I call her?" Xiao Jingrui unconsciously accentuated his tone because he was not honest.
Xiao's mother didn't take Xiao Jingrui's tone seriously, and smiled calmly: "I cook a lot of soup this time, and you can bring some to Xiao Zhai later, she needs it more than you."
"What do you mean she needs love more than me?" From what his mother said, Xiao Jingrui realized that she might have guessed everything. Judging from her attitude right now, she should be admitting her relationship with Zhai Qin.Xiao Jingrui's heart was indescribably happy, and he spoke a lot more easily.
"Look at your body, and look at her. In terms of body, she should drink two more bowls of chicken soup than you."
"My body... What's wrong with my body? I have a standard figure! I have hated me for eating too much and being fat since I was a child. I have smoked bars a few years ago. You still hate..." Xiao Jingrui cursed She walked away and ran to the kitchen immediately to make chicken soup for her daughter-in-law.
"Look at you, are you leaving soon?" Mama Xiao followed into the kitchen.
"Well, the company still has things to do this afternoon." Xiao Jingrui checked the time.
"Look at you, make yourself so nervous again, work..."
"Okay, okay, I know." Xiao Jingrui stopped her mother's nagging in time.
Xiao's mother gave her a displeased look, and walked away. Before leaving, she did not forget to ask: "The soup in the pot has not been salted yet. Does your company have any salt? If you don't put some by yourself. Put it in your lunch box. Don't put it in the pot for me."
……
During the lunch break, most of the lights in the office were turned off, and everyone was doing their own things quietly, occasionally a few snores could be heard.Xiao Jingrui carried an insulated lunch box bag, walked lightly through the office area, and came to the door of Zhai Qin's office, "Dang", "Dang", "Dang", and knocked on the door three times.
"Please come in."
After getting permission, Xiao Jingrui happily pushed the door open and went in: "Please, why are you so polite to me~"
Zhai Qin looked up at her: "Who knew you came back so early. How is it, the feeling of a family banquet."
"Of course it's excellent~ Hey, haven't you eaten yet?" Xiao Jingrui glanced at the dumpling on the side, and from the small drops of water on the lid of the lunch box, it could be seen that it had been overheated.
"Oh, eat it right away."
Xiao Jingrui didn't say that Zhai Qin really forgot that she didn't have lunch, she just picked up the lunch box, but Xiao Jingrui snatched it away.
"It's cold, I'll reheat it for you, you drink this chicken soup first, this one is hot."
When Xiao Jingrui heated up the dumplings and came back, seeing that Zhai Qin had already drank the soup, his happy eyes were like those of a mother who sees a child gorging on a meal.
"How is it? Is it delicious? I adjusted the taste. My mother always doesn't like to put salt in the soup pot. She is afraid of nitrite."
"Delicious~" Zhai Qin smiled like a happy little woman, "How could your cooking not be delicious?"
"Hey, actually I just put some salt, my mother made it, the dumplings are ready to eat, be careful not to burn them."
Xiao Jingrui watched Zhai Qin eat two dumplings and put down his chopsticks. Just as he was about to ask, the other party said, "I drank chicken soup just now, and I can't eat any more."
"How can this work, my mother said, you are too thin, you need to make up!"
"Xiao Jingrui, why did you go home and become a mother? Did your mother tell you anything else?"
"My mother also said that next time I go home, I have to take you with me."
"why?"
"An ugly daughter-in-law has to see her in-laws."
"Don't be poor with me, you said that, huh? My clown wife." Zhai Qin said and teased Xiao Jingrui with his hand.
Xiao Jingrui slapped her outstretched hand away: "Don't change the topic, eat quickly, at least eat... two more! I'll watch you eat."
"It's really boring." Zhai Qin glanced at her and picked up the chopsticks.
Xiao Jingrui didn't take it seriously, and persistently supervised Zhai Qin's eating dumplings.Maybe he was really full, Zhai Qin ate these two dumplings especially slowly.
"Forget it, I see you really can't eat anymore, don't eat it, don't overwhelm my wife in a while." Saying this, before Zhai Qin could answer, she snatched her dumplings in front of her, picked up one and gave it to her. into the mouth.It's a pity to throw away so many dumplings.
Seeing Xiao Jingrui eating his leftover dumplings so naturally, Zhai Qin was startled at first, and then felt indescribably warm in his heart.In my impression, only when she was very young, her mother would eat what she had eaten without any scruples.
"What are you looking at me for?" Xiao Jingrui stopped chewing, thinking that Zhai Qin's eyes might be because he disliked his behavior of eating leftovers, right? "I only eat your leftovers, I haven't eaten anyone else's." She explained stupidly.
"I know," Zhai Qin smiled, "I'm just looking at you, you have a good appetite."
"That's not true, otherwise my mother always said that there was a little mouse at home." Xiao Jingrui stuffed another dumpling into his mouth. At this time, he thought about work. Anyway, there are only the two of them in the office now, so he just mentioned it as a casual chat. With a mouthful: "Did they come to tell you about how many levels the game is open to?"
Zhai Qin raised his eyebrows, "In the first half of the year, only half of the grades are open. Your producer came to discuss with me this morning, you know?"
"Huh?" Xiao Jingrui suddenly understood something, "I suggested it to him, how could I not know."
"You suggested?"
"nonsense."
Yesterday, the planning side sorted out all the recent needs to Xiao Jingrui. After Xiao Jingrui roughly calculated the progress of the art, he found the main planner and producer, and discussed with them whether only half of the game levels could be released in the first half of the year. , the art resources are temporarily only replaced with the opened levels, which can reduce the workload and overhead by at least one-third.Blindly speeding up the progress will only affect the quality of the product, and the gains outweigh the losses.However, from Zhai Qin's mouth today, it became the producer's suggestion. This guy wants to take the credit for his feelings. He lost because he didn't know that the person he wanted to claim credit for was Xiao Jingrui's daughter-in-law!
"For 'the first half of the year', the time has dragged on a bit too long. I told him that with May Day as the node, the operation side has just implemented the server opening activities and Qingming activities, and is now planning
