Chapter 822
Although Hua Duo is careless and heartless, she looks heartless and careless, she is actually very sensitive, fragile, and has a strong self-esteem.
This time she had to accept the invitation from her aunt. She was very nervous, afraid that Xiao Zhou would think she would post it again or have any bad intentions towards him.
So, when Aunt Zhou left happily, she quickly called Xiao Zhou's office and wanted to explain this to him.
She had thought about it. If Xiao Zhou didn't agree with her going to the compound, then he would ask him to find a way to reject her uncle and aunt. Anyway, she didn't want to be misunderstood by Xiao Zhou, and she didn't want to be looked down upon by him.
The phone was answered by Xiao Zhou's secretary. After receiving Huaduo's call, the secretary immediately reported to Xiao Zhou. When Xiao Zhou heard that it was Huaduo's call, he told the secretary directly, and said that he was not available and refused to answer Huaduo's call.
When the secretary saw Director Zhou's attitude, he immediately understood the position of Miss Hua in the leader's heart, so when he replied to Hua Duo, his tone was no longer as respectful as before.
"Director Zhou is not available, please don't call here again in the future." Before Huaduo could speak, the secretary hung up the phone without hesitation.
Listening to the busy sound of "beeping" on the other end of the microphone, Hua Duo was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
What's this? I don't even give you time to say a few words, and I have worked together for a while. As for being so heartless?
She angrily put down the phone, and she had already decided to go directly to the Zhou family and not communicate with him. It was not that she didn't want to discuss with him, it was because he refused to talk to her, and even if he was not happy, it would be unfair to her...
At around 3:00 p.m. that day, Huadou arrived at the Zhou family early.
The reason I went there early was because she didn't want to eat ready-made ones and wanted to go there early to help her aunt work, otherwise she would feel sorry for her if her elders were asked to serve her.
When I arrived at Zhou's house, Aunt Cai led the flowers into the house. Aunt Zhou was busy working in the kitchen. Seeing that the flowers came early, Aunt Zhou was so happy that she couldn't stop talking about it. She hurriedly asked the flowers to rest in the living room, eat some fruits, and watch TV.
Huaduo can't watch the elders work hard, and she is lazy. Without saying a word, she went into the bathroom to wash her hands, and then went into the kitchen to work with them.
Huaduo’s family used to run a restaurant. She used to do odd jobs in the kitchen of her own restaurant, so she learned a few specialties.
During the past few months she lived in the Zhou family, she often went to the kitchen to show off her cooking skills, and the food she made often made Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou praise her.
Even that "cold-blooded animal" couldn't help but eat more after eating her meals.
Therefore, the flower craftsmanship is still very popular in the Zhou family.
Huaduo worked very neatly. With her joining, the dinner progress suddenly became much faster, and it didn't take long. A dish of stewed beef brisket with kelp, a dish of boiled fish fillet, a dish of garlic scallops, and a dish of bacon and fried green beans were released.
Looking at the diligent and quick-witted daughter-in-law, and then looking at the delicious dishes from her hands, Aunt Zhou was so satisfied.
If Duoduo could get her son's body ready as soon as possible, she would have entered the door early and become her official daughter-in-law as soon as possible, how great would it be...
At around five o'clock in the evening, Zhou Xilong returned home. He was quite happy to see his prospective daughter-in-law coming home.
I haven't seen the little girl for a long time, and he still wondered what he thought about. He was used to living happily together. She suddenly moved out. The atmosphere at home seemed a little dull, not as happy as before.
"Uncle, I'm here to see you." Huaduo obediently handed over his slippers to Zhou Xilong, and then respectfully took his briefcase over.
Although Zhou Xilong was happy, he was still quite serious on the surface. He nodded to Huadu and said,
"It's great that you're here. Why haven't you come back for so many days to see you? Your aunt and I thought you forgot us."
He changed his slippers and sat down on the sofa.
Huaduo followed him and said with a smile: "Aren't I busy? Uncle and aunt treat me so well, how could I forget you? Now, as soon as my aunt went to call me today, I came over quickly..."
While talking, he poured Zhou Xilong a cup of brewed West Lake Longjing and handed it over with both hands.
Zhou Xilong took the teacup, took a sip, and pulled the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, but said unforgivingly: "Your aunt has to invite you to come here to you? Don't you know if you don't invite you? Humph, young people nowadays are willful and there is no old man in their eyes..."
Aunt Zhou hurriedly said, "Aren't Duoduo busy? You haven't watched it. There are still several paintings in the studio that have not been completed. The child finally came here. Look at you, I'll just say something that is not nice."
Then, she smiled and said to Huaduo: "Duoduo, your uncle doesn't speak nicely, don't take it to heart. Don't look at him saying badly, but in fact he hopes that you will come to your house more than me, otherwise he wouldn't say that to you."
Huaduo said apologetically: "I know, my uncle is also thinking about me and blames me. It's my fault."
Zhou Xilong used the lid of the cup to pluck the tea leaves, took a sip of the tea, and said, "If you know that you are not doing well, you must correct your mistakes. I also know that you young people are busy and have a career, but you cannot ignore your health and family...
"It's great, don't say anything good to you, it will change its flavor if it says it..." Aunt Zhou saw her husband's attitude of scheming again, and hurriedly interrupted him.
"Duoduo, let's go to the kitchen to chat. Don't pay attention to your uncle. This person is probably going to be early in menopause, and he is just talking badly." Aunt Zhou pulled Huaduo and walked towards the kitchen.
Huaduo said: "Auntie, my uncle is concerned about me and said that."
"That's why you are sensible. If you meet a slim person and always look at him with such a terrible face, you will have gone to your heart long ago. This person is getting closer and closer to the road. I don't know what he has been doing in the past few years. If you don't say good things, you've said how many times he has been, and you don't know how to change..."
While complaining, Aunt Zhou pulled the flowers into the kitchen again.
Not long after the mother and the mother arrived at the kitchen, Xiao Zhou came back.
When Huaduo saw Xiao Zhou, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty and almost didn't dare to look at him directly.
After all, the two of them had agreed to never interact with each other before. Now he came to the door openly again, and he would definitely misunderstand his own...
Xiao Zhou was really surprised when he saw the flowers.
He refused to listen to her phone call when he was in the office before, but he didn't expect that she would run straight to the house. Her skin was so thick.
Although he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to show it in front of his parents, so he had to forcefully pull the corners of his mouth and ask, "Why are you here?"
Huaduo hurriedly explained: "It was the aunt who went to my studio to find me and insisted that I come over. She also said that if I didn't come, he would take you and Uncle Zhou to my studio to cook. I don't want to bother you and Uncle Zhou, so... I came..."
After hearing Huaduo's explanation, Xiao Zhou immediately understood the purpose of her phone call in the afternoon, and was less disgusted with her arrival.
Since it was not the one who came on the initiative, but the one who was forced by her mother, Xiao Zhou had nothing to say.
After all, in front of their parents, they are still lovers. If he performs too much, with his father's super insight, he will definitely see the flaws.
He doesn't want his parents to worry or be sad. The best way is to slowly fade between him and the flowers until they "break up".
After the meal, Huaduo was afraid that Xiao Zhou would be too worried, so after helping Aunt Cai clean up the dishes, she arranged to go back.
However, Aunt Zhou couldn't bear to leave Huadiao, so she pulled her to stay here tonight and asked her to leave tomorrow.
Huaduo peeked at Xiao Zhou and found that his face was not good. He saw that he was unhappy to live here, so he found an excuse to know what he wanted.
He said that "the cousin who doesn't exist at all" was afraid of renting a house alone, and he had to go back to accompany her.
When Aunt Zhou heard her say this, she had to agree to let her go back. However, she held her hand and said something for a long time before she was willing to let her go.
Because Huaduo is still Xiao Zhou's "girlfriend", the task of sending Huaduo back to the studio naturally fell on Xiao Zhou.
In order not to see the flaws by his parents, Xiao Zhou could not refuse. He put on his clothes and prepared to send flowers out.
Before leaving, Aunt Cai held the boiled medicine and said to Xiao Zhou, "Xiaoyuan, let's go after taking the medicine, otherwise it will get cold in a while and the medicine will be bad.
Xiao Zhou took the bowl, tilted his neck and drank it in.
Xiao Zhou's initial attitude was against or even disgusted with the Chinese medicine his family advocated to prescribe. However, after drinking a few doses, Xiao Zhou found that this medicine does have the effect of strengthening the body. At least his sleep was much better than before.
Before, he had the habit of waking up early. He would wake up until after three o'clock every day, and then he could no longer sleep. He lay there thinking about the hardships of his youth, the difficulties of his work, and the tragic half of his life...
Since almost all the thoughts are bad things, this often makes him feel breathless.
Especially on rainy days, lying alone in the darkness and hearing the drizzle outside the window will make him feel desperate, just like he was beaten half to death and was thrown into prison...
He didn't know what was wrong, why there was so much negative energy in his body? For this reason, he even secretly went to the psychologist, but it was useless. He still woke up early every day and still thought about those negative things, because those negative psychology often leads to his mood all day long and is affected at work...
But since he had taken a few pairs of Chinese medicine, he could sleep until after five o'clock. If he hadn't set the alarm at five o'clock, he would have been able to continue sleeping.
Unexpectedly, this Chinese medicine that he was extremely disgusted and strongly rejected had the effect of regulating sleep, which made Xiao Zhou feel overjoyed. After years of insomnia treatment, he could also reassure and make his parents happy. In this way, he happily accepted the arrangements at home.
So, when Aunt Cai decocted the medicine for him and brought it to him, he drank it without hesitation.
Seeing Xiao Zhou taking medicine, Aunt Zhou shook the flower mysteriously, as if telling her that Xiao Zhou had been treating her, so she was relieved.
Huaduo pretended to be shy and lowered her head, smiling bitterly in her heart: Hahaha...whether he took medicine, is he doing her hammering business?
