Chapter 44: Where did you pick it up

In late autumn and early winter, the leaves on the trees have begun to wither.

After a rain at the beginning of winter, the temperature dropped sharply. Xu Qing prepared down jackets and warm clothes early, as well as large cotton socks, both pink and blue.

There is also a cotton hat with a pom-pom on the top of the head.

It was really a miracle... Xu Qing took a few photos with her cell phone of Jiang Hekaka, who had put on winter clothes, and was very satisfied.

"Look, if you went out by yourself, would you freeze to death now?"

He pointed at the layer of frost on the window and pretended to sigh, "Fortunately, I have thought carefully about it... By the way, can you withstand the cold with your skills?"

"I can withstand the cold a little better than you." Jiang He pinched the ball on his head and played with it. The furry hand felt good.

"Hey, those straw sandals of yours won't freeze your toes?"

"..."

"Okay, I'm going out. If I'm hungry, I'll cook for myself. You don't have to cook for me. There are tomatoes and eggs in the refrigerator."

Xu Qing put on his clothes and gave instructions to go out.

More than half of November has passed, and he hasn't paid the rent yet. He wanted to transfer it directly to the old man and them, but then he thought about the rent reduction for him last month, so it would be better to go over there.

Lest mom and dad come over again - living together with Jiang He... Bah, although Jiang He is verbally told that taking Jiang He in is normal, it is still a bit abnormal for people who don't know her background.

.

A man and a woman living alone under the same roof, living together day and night, and saying it doesn't matter? You wouldn't even believe it.

Only those who are as stupid as Winter Melon can reluctantly accept his rhetoric.

It was rare for Zhou Suzhi to stay at home and watch TV, and did not go out to play mahjong with the old lady - probably because Xu Qing said in the "loving family" group that she wanted to come over.

"Just you?"

Seeing Xu Qing come back, she turned to look out the door. Seeing Xu Qing just close the door like that, she couldn't help but ask questions.

"What if?"

"Where's the girlfriend?"

"...I'm at home and didn't let her come over." Xu Qing was talking unconscionably for the sake of rent reduction and exemption.

Turning around to take a look in the study, he changed the subject and said, "My dad hasn't come back yet?"

"I found some ruins and have been busy for several days - no, why don't you bring your girlfriend over?"

"They call that an ancient tomb. What kind of ruins... are you calling it an adventure?"

"I said, why didn't you bring that girl over here?" Zhou Suzhi repeated with emphasis.

"The ancient tomb is very good. When some treasures are dug out, my dad will be in the newspaper again... Tsk, don't stare, it's just a girlfriend, why did you bring her here?

If I eat your food, my dad will have to blame me again. I even brought my girlfriend with me to eat the food, which is too harsh."

Xu Qing couldn't sit still when he came back. He touched here and there, took a carton of milk from the refrigerator, picked up an orange from the fruit plate, then wandered to the kitchen and opened the lid of the pot to look, "Are you hungry? You haven't cooked yet?"

"No, just eat the fart."

"..."

Xu Qing, who had already seen the ribs in the refrigerator, shrugged and was not in a hurry. Anyway, eating early meant there was no ribs, and eating late meant waiting for dad to come back together, so there would definitely be ribs to eat.

The couple's small life often made him think that he was picked up, that his parents were his true love, and that he was an accident. Of course, Xu Qing's own fault was also at fault. He used to smoke, drink, and fight when he was two years old.

This couple was so angry that they almost wanted to have a second child.

Do it.

"No, you are so young, and you just live together like this?" Zhou Suzhi was unhappy when she saw him slumped on the sofa peeling oranges, "What is the background of that girl? Don't tell me where you picked her up."

"Ahem..." Xu Qing choked, "That's what I said, where can I pick up a big living person? It's just... good."

"How come it's so easy? Why do we just live together?"

Zhou Suzhi asked him to bring his girlfriend here because he wanted to see how the girl was doing. If she was a little girl brought back from outside, she would immediately ask Xu Wenbin to increase the rent for this girl, double it, and divide it when and when.

Lower it back again——

The photos looked pretty good, so it shouldn't be a problem, so she just thought about it and suppressed her thoughts and didn't go over to make a surprise inspection.

"Well...she is all alone in a strange city. She works here. I usually help out and take care of her as a sister." Xu Qing opened her mouth to come, but she kept talking nonsense: "I take care of her too much. I come and go.

That's all, it'll be fine."

"that's all?"

"that's all."

"Where is she?" Zhou Suzhi didn't believe it.

"She lives in a ravine. When I first met her, her shoes were worn out and I couldn't bear to change them. Her clothes were patched, but she was miserable... She couldn't even eat enough."

"..."

Zhou Suzhi glanced at him sideways, "It's passed, but is there still something like this now?"

"Not at all. Really, you didn't see that poor thing." Xu Qing touched his conscience and told the truth.

"Fooling, and then fooling, look at the temperament and appearance of the photo..."

"Yes, do you think her temperament is different from others? Children from poor families who have become parents early must be different from modern... girls who have no shortage of food, drink, play games and go shopping. Wait until next time, next time I will take care of them

Come here and let me see you and you will find out."

What Xu Qing said seemed to be true - indeed it was all true, there was nothing wrong with it.

If you are careful, you can notice the indescribable qualities about her when we have a meal together. It's not too strange, but it's just different.

"Then you guys live together...what are your plans?" Zhou Suzhi asked.

"What's wrong?...Wait a minute, we didn't sleep together, she slept in the utility room, and we were innocent." Xu Qing was almost dragged into a ditch.

"Innocent?"

"Innocent and clean, with a clear conscience."

"Scoff." Zhou Suzhi showed an expression of disdain that only a woman could make.

"It doesn't matter whether you are innocent or not, but you have to pay attention."

"What should I pay attention to?"

"What do you think?"

"..."

Xu Qing's egg hurts, he really didn't think of going there just now.

It's obviously a lie. He and Jiang He have a sheltered relationship, so be careful.

"Bring it over next time and take a look. If it's not suitable, you can split it up as soon as possible."

Zhou Suzhi came to a conclusion and looked at the time. She got up and went to the refrigerator to take out the vegetables and prepare to cook.

"What if it's suitable? Let my dad waive the rent for me?"

"Let's talk again."

Zhou Suzhi paused, turned around and asked, "You haven't found a job yet?"

"I'm looking for it. I'm looking for it."

Xu Qing responded casually. His temperament was fundamentally not suitable for working a nine-to-five job. Now that he can find food online, he should use his strengths and work hard. If it doesn't work, it won't be too late to find a job.

.

Life is your own. Even if you really eat the food of youth as Xu Wenbin said in the future, and you can't even make ends meet without a serious job, then it's your choice, and you don't blame anyone -

Taking a step back, if you give up the industry that you have already started and like very much, and listen to them and find a so-called "serious job", you will still have a mid-life crisis in the future. Who will you blame for regrets then? Blame dad? Blame the old man

mom?

I can only blame myself and why I didn't persist in the first place.

Adults should be responsible for themselves. Listening is a kind of responsibility, not listening is also a kind of responsibility. It is your own life that affects you, whether it is good or bad, you are the one who suffers.

Zhou Suzhi didn't know what he was thinking and was still talking about work. She used to worry that he would go astray and act like a second-rate kid, but now he looks like a normal person. But in the end, he doesn't do serious things and spends all his time at home doing something stupid.

.

"Mom, times have changed. Now the country doesn't divide houses or provide wives. Everyone has to earn their own money. It's different from my dad's time. The iron rice bowl is not so popular."

"At least I won't starve you to death."

"I'm not starving to death now."

"Just arguing, you... and that person, what good can you do if you two live together at home every day? It's not reliable."

Xu Qing smacked the orange and stood at the door of the kitchen with a smile, "Why are you arguing? We make money based on our skills, at least better than my dad. Look at my dad, he caught up with the good times, divided the house and made a fortune.

Wife’s…”

"Who gave me a daughter-in-law? I was given by the state to your father?"

"Yes, I heard what my dad said. At that time, your art troupe organized what was called a meeting. A group of men and a group of women got to know each other and exchange feelings. Then they naturally fell in love with each other...

The state specially arranges a blind date meeting for you, isn’t this called hair?”

"Go, go, make trouble, and watch your TV!"

Zhou Suzhi was so annoyed that she took the ribs and chopped them hard.
