Chapter 16 Chapter fifteen

As soon as she got to work in the morning, Jian Jia made an appointment with the director, assuming that she had something to do in the afternoon and had to leave early, and made an appointment with Xiaohang to meet at the sales office at 3:00 pm to pay the down payment.At that time, Xiaohang said he would pick her up by car, but she firmly refused.She is in the southeast, Gu Xiaohang is in the northwest, and the sales office is also in the northwest, why bother?Xiaohang agreed, but told her not to be late or not to show up with any excuses, because paying the down payment for the purchase of a house is a matter of far greater significance to them than the purchase itself.Back at the residence last night, she sent a text message to Xiaohang, nothing special, just talking, Xiaohang didn't reply.I called and said it was "not turned on", thinking that the phone was out of battery, and I didn't dare to call Gu's landline, so I had to endure it all night.I couldn't get in touch all night, which was very difficult.A whole morning meeting was held in the morning to discuss the cover of Professor Gu's book, the number of prints, the publicity plan and the title of the book. The publishing department also sent people to participate. Because of the sponsorship and Liu Kairui, the publishing department showed a rare enthusiasm for this book , as usual, they would not be interested in such an academic book by an unknown author.Will be open until noon for dinner.During this time, Jian Jia slipped out to call Xiaohang, but "no one answered", thinking that he was busy, maybe he didn't hear because of the noisy environment.He said, go to the construction site this morning.After lunch, when she went out to wash the dishes, Xiaohang called. She called the office landline, and Xiaoxi answered it.After washing the dishes, Xiaoxi told her that Xiaohang had called and said that he had something to do in the afternoon and they couldn't go to the appointment.Jian Jia didn't believe it, so she called Xiaohang on the spot, and this time Xiaohang answered, her voice was unusually polite, if it wasn't for being cold.She didn't know what happened, so she asked him what was the matter, and he said nothing; when she asked him when he would go again, he said yes.Then he said that he was busy, and he didn't allow her to say anything, so he took the call.Jian Jia slowly picked up the phone, feeling bad in her heart.She looked at Xiaoxi, and Xiaoxi was also looking at her.So, she asked directly: "What's wrong with Xiaohang?"

Xiaoxi said succinctly: "You talked to Liu Kairui about the sponsorship, he knows." "You told him?" "Liu Kairui told him. I didn't deny it." "Why don't you deny it?" "First of all, I didn't think of it. Secondly, why don't you think about why your relationship is so fragile? Is it a problem that you can't stand such a little thing?... I advised you not to touch the truth. You always think that I It’s because of my brother and not for you. Now you know who I am for? For both of you! The little boy is too variable, when he has feelings for you, it’s okay; if things don’t go his way, just turn around and leave! Sooner or later this has to happen—”

Without waiting for Xiaoxi to finish speaking, Jian Jia picked up the phone and dialed Xiaohang.Xiaohang answered and said "Hello". He never said "Hello" when he answered her phone before.But at this moment, Jian Jia can't care about these things anymore, and she speaks concisely and directly: "Gather at the original location at 3:00 p.m. If it is given to her, then Xiaoxi is right, the two of them are really not suitable. In the afternoon, Jian Jia originally wanted to arrive earlier, but unexpectedly, because the road was too far away, she underestimated the time of the traffic jam. Not only did she fail to arrive early, but she was five minutes late instead.During that journey, she was so anxious that she was sweating all over her body. If they broke up because she was late and he left, she would have nowhere to cry.When the car reached the North Third Ring Road, it simply stopped. It is said that a traffic accident occurred near the Lenovo Bridge.The driver picked up a morning newspaper and read it. After reading the first page, he read the second page, and after the second page, he read the third page. Jian Jia hated his attitude of fighting against enemies and standing together, but he didn't know that this was also a professional quality cultivated.There is also an ambulance in the convoy, whining, what's the use?There is a long line of cars, head to tail and head to tail. In this formation, let alone cars, it is difficult to pass an individual.It is said that due to road congestion in Mexico City, a tycoon has taken a helicopter to work, and the apron is the roof of his own company building. It is nice to have money.But the premise is that not everyone has money, otherwise the privilege advantage will be gone.Think about it, if many people can go to work by helicopter, just like many people now go to work by private car and taxi, then there will be congestion in the air.Being stuck in the air is better than being stuck on land, not to mention wasting energy, if a plane is knocked down, the consequences will be disastrous.It can be seen that the endless and rapid development of science is really not a good thing for human beings. ... At the moment when Jian Jia was thinking wildly, the car moved!Traffic Accident Released!She looked at her watch and let out a long breath.If there are no accidents on the rest of the road, there is still hope for her to arrive on time.

She was five minutes late.After getting off the taxi, he ran towards the sales office. When he got close, he stopped and saw Xiaohang, standing at the door of the sales office, with a tall figure and a handsome face, talking on the phone with someone.Jian Jia stared at him obsessively, but she didn't want to go over.Xiaohang's willingness to come and wait for her shows that he still cares about her and wants to hear her explanation; but what if he doesn't turn back after listening to her explanation?Might as well just leave it at that, with a glimmer of hope.At this time, Gu Xiaohang occasionally looked this way—maybe not by accident, but felt her gaze—the four eyes met.He hurriedly said something to the phone, put it away, and walked down the steps. She met him and walked over. The two approached and stopped.Jian Jia thought she should speak first, but before she could speak, Xiaohang spoke first.

"Why are you lying to me?" "I did not lie to you." "You talk to him about sponsorship." "I didn't say I didn't talk to him." "That's tantamount to lying to me." "I don't think so. I'm not lying." "There are two kinds of lies, one is to tell the black to be white; the other is to hide the black." "Xiao Hang, you can't be unreasonable! If you don't mention him, it's because you don't want to make you worry, and I don't want to make you worry. I think I can understand what's going on!"

"Well, may I ask you, what else do you have that makes me worry and distress me, and you didn't tell me?" Jian Jia's eyes lit up with anger, she turned and walked away, Xiaohang snorted and turned and walked away, the two turned their backs and left. ………… The phone in the sixth edition room rang, Xiaoxi answered the phone, and Assistant Liu Kairui called, asking the publisher to invite the authors to talk about their real estate projects in the seminar on Professor Gu's works. The specific request is to talk about the humanistic spirit of their real estate projects, She was flatly rejected by Xiaoxi, even though talking about humanistic spirit is her father's strong point, you can't ask him to talk about it!Her father needs to know that this book cannot be published without sponsorship, and that sponsorship requires him to personally speak good words and sing praises to others.She knows her father too well, a typical old-fashioned intellectual, she must be worthy of herself before doing things, "An Neng can smash her eyebrows and bend her waist to serve the powerful"?Can't help complaining why Jian Jia didn't make this clear at the beginning. Jian Jia said that she didn't say this when she told Liu Kairui.So Xiaoxi waved his hand, "Then just ignore him. Anyway, the sponsorship contract has already been signed." "The contract has been signed, but the money hasn't come yet." Xiaoxi was suddenly dumbfounded.Jian Jia said, "Why don't I call Liu Kairui and ask?" Xiaoxi said in a low voice, "I'm causing you trouble."

Xiaoxi already knew about the bragging between her brother and Jian Jia. Although this was the result she and her parents expected all the time, once it became a reality, she still had to feel sorry for those two and feel guilty.Anyway, it was her inaction that caused the two of them to break up.I also comforted myself by saying that external factors are the basis of change, and internal factors are the root of change. The root of the two of them is that they are not people in the same basket at all.Thinking about it this way, the guilt in my heart can't be completely eliminated, especially when I see Jian Jia's dedication to her father's book publishing as always, I feel uncomfortable and feel like a villain.I used to suspect that Jian Jia helped Dad publish a book to please Dad, so what if he is not a villain?At this time, Jian Jia finished the phone call and told Xiao Xi that Liu Kairui didn't mean that, and that the people under him made the decision without authorization, and he asked them to call the money immediately.Xiaoxi nodded and sighed in his heart: What "the subordinates decide without authorization", Liu Kairui didn't say anything, why did the subordinates do this without authorization? Are you full?It's just because Jian Jia came to him, and he said that because of Jian Jia's face.In other words, he really responded to Jian Jia's every request except for marriage.He loves her.

"Thank you." Xiao Xi said, paused, and said in a friendly voice, "Jian Jia, I'm against you and Xiaohang, it's not all because of Xiaohang." "It's mainly for Xiaohang. I'm afraid your brother will suffer!" "It's because I'm afraid you'll be sad! As I said, Xiaohang is a boy, so where can he suffer if he suffers?" He paused, and then said, "First of all, I'm definitely not pushing you towards Liu Kairui——I sincerely Sincerely speaking, as a man, Liu Kairui is really good. He is rich and loves you, so many girls can't catch him..." At this moment, the disgust on Jian Jia's face made her shut up.That disgust might be aimed at Liu Kairui, but it is more likely to be aimed at her, for her behavior.She lowered her head and pretended to be typing, but she didn't know what the words meant, so she typed for a while, then raised her head, summoned up the courage and said to Jian Jia who was opposite, "Jian Jia, do you need me to explain to Xiaohang?"

Jian Jia looked at her intently, and asked, "What do you explain?" Xiaoxi couldn't answer.Then type.After playing for a while, stop. "Jian Jia, may I ask you something?" "Say." "If Liu Kairui wants to marry you now, will you follow him?" "There is no such if." "if!" "Then he is not him!" "Understood." Xiaoxi nodded and said, "Actually, the fundamental issue you care about is that he won't marry you. Just like Jane Eyre, what you care about is the status of the principal wife." "Why don't you say that I, like Jane Eyre, don't want to be a rich man's pet?"

"It's better to be a pet or a wife, it depends on how you say it. For example, if you have to choose, to be a rich man's pet or to be—" She thought for a while, "He Jianguo, his brother, and the others Wife, which one do you choose?" "This is too extreme." "Extreme speaks volumes." "What do you want to explain?" "Matter and emotion cannot be completely separated." Then he confided in his heart, "Let's not talk about it, He Jianguo and I have a deep relationship, right? It used to be like seas and dry rocks, how is it now? Three days, one small, five It’s good to have a big quarrel! It’s true when you’re determined to be together; Change around. Jian Jia, in essence, you and I are in exactly the same situation. Don’t think that love is everything, that love can be invincible, that you can’t change your true nature after suffering and tempering, no, no, no! Because love is not only Not only spiritual, but also material..."

Jian Jia just said nothing. The north wind howled, the branches swayed in the wind, the sleet fell all day and night, and the thawed river was covered with a thin layer of ice. The so-called late spring cold came, and it felt colder than winter, which made He Jianguo worried.For his elder brother who lives in a shed, and even more for his father who has always been worried about the kind of place where his elder brother lives.It should be arranged for my father to leave a few days earlier, and the spring will be warm and sunny a few days earlier!Father procrastinated and didn't leave because none of the few things that came for him were implemented, and he was always unwilling to do so. These days, Xiaoxi has been staying at her mother's house and has not come back. She is not here, so it is more convenient for the three of them to reunite.It is convenient, more than some, much more convenient.During her absence, he would pick up his brother Jiancheng for dinner every day.After eating dinner and taking a shower, my brother also asked my brother to take the clothes back for washing. After a spin in the washing machine, I took them out to dry in a heated room, dried overnight, and when I woke up the next morning, I was ready to wear them.If Xiaoxi was here, would he dare to do this?Even if she allowed it, he couldn't stand her forbearance and magnanimity in front of these things.The rumor is his speculation, but it is 200% fact.He also kept his elder brother to live at home many times, but his elder brother resolutely refused, and his elder brother was really a considerate person.Looking at Tian'er outside, Jianguo's father was full of worries. The eldest son said that he would not be coming back tonight, and he was working overtime on the construction site.It rained all day yesterday and I didn't do any work, so I have to work overtime today to make up for it.The rain has stopped, but the sky is not clear, it is cold and gloomy, and on such a day, you have to work overtime continuously, do you treat people like people?It was the weekend, and for lunch He Jianguo made noodles with fried sauce for his father, fried with diced pork belly.My father has only one criterion for evaluating whether the food is good or not, whether it is delicious or not.When frying the sauce, He Jianguo used a lot of oil, plus the oil leached from the pork belly, so there was half a pot of oil in a pot of sauce.Then wash a few Zhangqiu scallions, dip the scallions in the sauce and eat the noodles, which is the best bite for my father.But just like that, the father didn't eat much, thinking about the suffering of the eldest son outside, thinking about how many things he had to leave and nothing was done, how could he eat it?Father couldn't eat He Jianguo, and he couldn't eat any more. Most of the noodles were left in the pot.Father didn't eat, didn't speak, just kept his head down and smoked, which was putting pressure on him.He Jianguo's feeling was right, his father was very dissatisfied with him, and he didn't understand why the second child was so henpecked!The father and son were bored for a long time, and He Jianguo lost his temper and said, Dad, I'll go to Xiaoxi's house, pick her up, and let's talk to her face to face.Father's complexion looked better and stretched a little. Xiaoxi was not at home, so she took Xiaoxia out to do some shopping.Xiaoxia wants to buy something and asks Father Jianguo to take it home.Considering that she was not familiar with the roads in Beijing, Xiaoxi's mother asked Xiaoxi to take her there, and advanced her one month's salary in advance.Before going out, Xiaoxi also brought a camera, and said that he would take Xiaoxia to Tiananmen Square to have a look.When Xiaoxia heard that she was taken to Tiananmen Square, she was overjoyed. She said that since she had never been to Tiananmen Square, people would not think she had been to Beijing.Before coming here, her primary school daughter talked to her most about Tiananmen Square, and my mother must go to Tiananmen Square to take some photos for her.In my daughter's textbook, there are several texts about Tiananmen Square in Beijing, and the teacher often asks students to use Tiananmen Square as a topic to write essays.Starting from Tiananmen Square, along the way, Xiaoxia talked to Gu Xiaoxi most about her daughter.Talking excitedly, he even took out a two-inch photo to show Gu Xiaoxi. In the photo was an eight or nine-year-old girl with bright big eyes and shallow dimples. She was very cute. His baptism looked like a child in the city.Xiao Xia obviously carried the photo with her, and it was already a little wrinkled.Looking at the photo, Xiaoxi asked casually: "Are you not here, does the child miss you?" Unexpectedly, Xiaoxia's eye circles turned red all of a sudden: "Why don't you want to? Last time I called her grandma and said that my daughter fell asleep at night. Woke up crying after crying, calling mother while crying..." Xiaoxi didn't expect it.This was the first time for her to face up to the inner world and emotional world of this rural woman who worked in their home, and there were some surprises.She always thought that rural women's feelings for their children were rough, not only for children, but all their feelings were rough, so that she never thought of talking to her when she watched her go about her business in and out of the house. chat.After leaving Tiananmen, they went to the shopping mall to buy things. Xiaoxia took a fancy to a set of children's clothes worth more than 100 yuan. What, she is not very good at talking, but it can be seen that she is very moved.During this period, Xiaoxi's parents called them countless times, and the content of each call was the same, nothing more than asking Xiaoxia where this or that thing was kept.So when the phone rang again, Xiao Xi simply handed it to Xiao Xia and said with a smile, "I'm sure I'm looking for you again. We can't live without you now." Sure enough, it was Xiao Xia who asked where the vinegar was kept.After putting away the phone, both of them laughed.Coming out of the shopping mall and passing by the zoo, Xiaoxi couldn't help but feel a little regretful, she should take Xiaoxia to play first, and then go shopping after playing.Xiao Xia said it's okay, what are these things?She picked it up all by herself!It sounds like I really want to go.Of course Xiao Xia wanted to go, even if she didn't care, she had to go for her daughter.So, the two decided to go to the zoo again. At the gate of the zoo, Xiaoxi went to buy tickets. Xiaoxia didn't expect that Tiananmen Square didn't even need tickets!A ticket is 20 yuan, two people is 40 yuan, 40 yuan is enough for the child's tuition fee for a semester, if you don't go, you can't go if you ask for money!But Xiaoxi didn't listen to her at all, he laughed and bought the ticket and took her in. He also said that they came at the wrong time and couldn't keep up with the dolphin show in the aquarium in the zoo, so he would definitely take her to see it someday.This time, Xiao Xia did not dare to agree rashly, but asked first, how much is it to watch the dolphin show?One hundred for one person!Her eye circles were red again, this time because she was moved.With red eyes, she said: "Xiaoxi, your family is really kind to people... Our downstairs house, their aunt is from Anhui, and told me that their master doesn't let her relieve her hands at home, because she doesn't like it. She has to go to the public toilet to untie her big hands. She always thinks that she eats too much, so she doesn’t tell her not to eat, but tells her that eating too much is not good, and obesity will cause many diseases, saying that she is already a little fat ..." Xiaoxi laughed out loud, and at that moment, she felt that she was much closer to this rural woman. Xiaoxi was not at home, He Jianguo felt a little regretful but also fortunate.It's a pity that I made the trip for nothing, but I'm glad that I also made the trip for nothing. When I go back, I can tell my father that Xiaoxi is not there.He told Xiaoxi's parents that he was here to pick up Xiaoxi, and since Xiaoxi was not here, he would not stay, because his father was leaving in a few days, and he had to go back to pack his things and make preparations.Unexpectedly, Xiaoxi's parents seemed to see through him and said, since we are here, we might as well sit down for a while, because they happen to have something to talk to him about.He Jianguo had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit down.He knew what they were going to talk to him, so he left in a hurry, just like Xiaoxi knew what his father would talk to her, so he hid at his mother's house. What Xiaoxi's parents said were all the words that have been said a hundred and eighty times. It is understandable why your father is old and has some inherent concepts and practices that are difficult to change, but you shouldn't; My father is uneducated, but you are highly educated, what should be done, what should not be done, what can be done, what can't be done, there should be an analysis and judgment screening from you; what we agree that you He is a good boy. He is better than Xiaoxi in many aspects. You have done a good job in the unit, and everyone is satisfied. This shows that you are capable of thinking and capable. Why do you become so weak when it comes to things in your hometown? It’s so unprincipled; old thoughts and ideas can be understood, they can’t be changed, and they can’t be encouraged or condoned. Especially, they shouldn’t be pushed to them. The result of his doing so will inevitably cause conflicts among the elders... He Jianguo kept his face blank and his mind blank at the same time. He listened, and when he had to listen, he could only listen. He just listened to the ear and got a headache. Otherwise, he just stopped listening and thought about other things.He began to think about his brother's work. He called a friend yesterday and talked about his brother. His friend said he could help him find a solution. At this moment, he heard Xiaoxi's father call him: "Jianguo!" Looking up blankly, Xiaoxi's father looked sharply: "Jianguo, do you have any unspeakable secrets when it comes to the relationship between you and your father and your family?" He Jianguo was taken aback: "No no no no no no no!" His reaction was too strong, Xiaoxi's parents felt it, they looked at each other, and obvious doubts flashed in their eyes. "Jianguo," Xiaoxi's father said carefully after a while, "If you have anything to say—" At this time, the door of Xiaohang's room opened, and Xiaohang poked his head out, nodded to He Jianguo as a greeting, and then asked his mother if he took money from his wallet, saying that there was less money in his wallet .Xiaoxi's mother "hummed" and said, do you know how much money is in your wallet?He said that this time he remembered it very clearly. He just took out a thousand from the card on the way home from get off work yesterday, and then went home. Up to now, he has not left the door, and there is only five hundred left in his wallet. He withdraws money from the bank. The receipts are all there.Xiaoxi's mother asked him to recall the memories again.He recalled it, and recalled that Xiaoxia helped him take out his wallet when he was doing laundry this morning. He Jianguo blurted out: "It can't be Xiaoxia!" Xiao Xi's mother glanced at him, and said calmly: "We didn't say it was Xiao Xia." "What I mean is," He Jianguo was a little embarrassed, and laughed at himself, "If she wants to steal it, she should steal it all. How can anyone steal half and keep the other half?" Xiaohang half-jokingly said: "Brother-in-law, you don't understand this, it's called 'tapping'! Stealing requires art, and only by a long flow can you steal often." Xiaoxi's mother scolded: "Nonsense! Go, go back to the house and look for it yourself!" Xiaohang retreated into his room, but He Jianguo's expression became very ugly, and he remained silent in an obviously defiant manner.For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward.Xiaoxi’s father started pretending nothing happened again, got up and walked towards the phone: “I’ll call Xiaoxi and tell her to come back quickly. Don’t make Jianguo wait.” Talking and laughing with Xiao Xia, he opened the door and came back with a big bag. He Jianguo called Xiaoxi into her room, closed the door, and had a serious talk with her.First, he talked about three things about his father's visit this time: one is his brother's job, the other is their relationship, and the third is his and Xiaoxi's child.Then, let Xiaoxi weigh it.Xiaoxi looked intently at He Jianguo's unusually serious face: "Do you mean that if these three things cannot be done, our relationship will be over?" "Isn't it possible to do one of them?" "What do you think?" "I think," He Jianguo said word by word, "one of these three things is always under your control." Xiaoxi was extremely disgusted by his attitude: "He Jianguo, are you threatening me?" "Xiaoxi, listen to me for the last time. If you still can't understand, then our fate may really be over." He Jianguo didn't answer the question directly, and said to himself, "My father is uneducated and has never seen the world. Based on his experience, he thinks that your family can do whatever they want if they think about it. Think about it for him. He has never read a book, and he has spent his whole life wandering around in that small village. He just watched TV the year before last. He thought that everyone in Beijing could see everything in the sky, and if they live next door to the Party Central Committee and the State Council, there would be no difficulty, just say hello!... I said this, do you understand what I mean?" If He Jianguo said these words yesterday, Xiaoxi would not take them to heart, but now he listened to them because of Xiaoxia.Thinking of Xiaoxia's joy in Tiananmen Square and the zoo, thinking of Xiaoxia's feelings for her daughter, and thinking of the difficulty of working as a nanny in other people's homes, she suddenly had some emotional understanding of He Jianguo.In the past, she didn't understand because the environment of each other was so different that it was impossible for her to put herself in each other's shoes.Although He Jianguo didn't know exactly what Xiaoxi was thinking at the moment, he felt that she listened to his words.To be honest, he didn't dare to hope that Xiaoxi could take care of his father's affairs. First of all, the matter of having a child was not something they said they could count on.All he hopes is that this time, as a daughter-in-law, Xiaoxi can send her father away in a polite and thoughtful manner, that is to say, as long as she can get by on the surface.At this time, Xiaoxi spoke. "Okay. Except for the childbirth, your brother's job and residence, you can make your father feel at ease. I will do my best." While He Jianguo was moved, the melancholy in his heart still lingered.This time it worked.What should I do next time?Also, what about their children, no, his father's grandson? After He Jianguo took Xiaoxi away, Xiaoxi's parents sent Xiaoxia to pack up the things she wanted to take away, then went to Xiaohang's house, and closed the door carefully, thinking about Xiaohang's loss of money.Xiaohang's money was not found, and the three of them felt very awkward.Five hundred yuan is nothing, but if this is really Xiao Xia——just thinking about it makes people feel extremely heavy.Xiaoxia is now an indispensable member of their family, but if she has such a problem, how will she get along with her in the future? "Slowly hide the thief!" Xiaoxi's father shook his head.It means that Xiaoxia didn't have this problem before, but now she really has it, and it is also Xiaohang's responsibility.Putting everything where people can easily get it is called "slow hiding". The result of slow hiding is to instigate others to steal, which is "teaching theft". Xiaohang suddenly remembered: "Call my sister and ask her if she has it!" Hope rose in the hearts of the three at the same time. When Xiaohang called, Xiaoxi and He Jianguo were still on the road, in the car.Xiaoxi told Xiaohang that she had never seen his wallet at all, and He Jianguo spoke after putting away the phone. "Let him ask if Xiao Xia took it!" "What do you mean?" "That's what it means - ask if Xiao Xia took it!" "It's inexplicable, isn't it! It's normal to call and ask if you can't find something. What kind of sensitivity have you had?" "Is it because I'm sensitive or do you have some kind of prejudice against rural people at all?...Who's family lives and loses things when they can't find anything? Especially in your family, it's commonplace to find things! There is no nanny When there is nothing, if you lose it, you will lose it. If you have a nanny, it will not work, and it will become the nanny's business. Thinking about it, I am really afraid. Fortunately, I didn't lose anything when I was serving your father at your house. Otherwise, I It’s Xiaoxia, and I’m also from the countryside!” Xiaoxi was really angry. Except for having a baby, she didn't count. She agreed to everything and he was so excited. What on earth did he want to do?Was it because of the child that his father had spoken and told him to divorce her?I can't help but feel angry from my heart, and the evil grows toward the gallbladder. "Even if you have a certain prejudice, you can't say it's groundless. The poor man must have something to hate!" He Jianguo sneered: "You hate rural people so much, why do you marry the son of a rural person as a daughter-in-law?" Xiaoxi also sneered: "I was young and ignorant at that time." He Jianguo sneered even more: "Hey! Don't even think about it. If I wasn't from the countryside, I would be your turn to marry?" "Are you suffering from amnesia, classmate He Jianguo, who wrote me eight letters a day and made eight hundred calls a day and was anxious to see my mother? Hmph, if it wasn't for me, if it wasn't for my mother, who would you be?" Not being able to stay and work in Beijing is a problem!" "Yes, yes, I have been honored by you and your family a lot. Gu Xiaoxi, read it well: you were lucky to be born in Beijing, with a father who is a professor and mother who is an expert. If you were born in a rural area, try ? You are not as competitive as Xiao Xia as a nanny!" Xiaoxi was so angry that he reached out to open the door and was about to jump out of the car, but He Jianguo pulled him back, closed and locked the car door at the same time.Gu Xiaoxi was so angry that he had nowhere to vent, so he stretched out his hand to hit He Jianguo.He Jianguo pushed her away and said, "Be careful! Don't hurt yourself!" The jeep drew an S shape and drove away... Until they walked into the elevator, the two of them still kept a straight face and didn't look at each other.After getting out of the elevator, when they arrived at the door of the house, the two adjusted their stern facial muscles at the same time. Jianguo's father was leaving tomorrow, and if they wanted to quarrel, there was no need to quarrel in front of him. Unexpectedly, after the two entered the house, Jianguo's father showed unexpected enthusiasm for Xiaoxi and showed unexpected understanding.Let Jianguo figure out a way to not bother her family if it can’t be done, and then say that it’s really embarrassing for Xiaoxi to trouble Xiaoxi as soon as they come.It was later learned that after He Jianguo left, He Jiancheng talked to his father about this for a long time, and asked him to think about it from the perspective of Xiaoxi and Xiaoxi's family.He Jiancheng is well-educated, and when he came to Beijing, his horizons broadened, and he naturally had different views on some things than when he was in his hometown.Moreover, if he told Jianguo's father, Jianguo's father would listen to him.He Jiancheng's identity is objective, and there is no suspicion of "marrying a wife and forgetting a mother". When Jianguo's father said this, Xiaoxi was immediately moved. She rolled up her sleeves and started cooking. Jianguo wanted to help, but she pushed him out and asked him to talk to his father. After all, his father was leaving.For a time, the family was filled with a rare atmosphere of mutual respect and love. Xiaoxi was cooking in the kitchen alone, while Jianguo and his son went to the living room to drink water and talk.During this period, Xiao Xia came, Xiao Xi came out to say hello to her, and then went in to get busy again.The things Xiao Xia sent home filled a whole large bag, and she also handed Jianguo an envelope, saying that there were 500 yuan in it, and asked her to give it to the child and her grandmother.At this moment, He Jianguo, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "Xiao Xia, didn't you let them see your bag when you came?" Xiao Xia shook her head blankly.He Jianguo frowned: "They should take a look. Look, it's clear, if there is anything missing, I can't blame you." "What's missing from them?" Xiao Xia heard the words, and said vigilantly. "Xiaohang lost 500 yuan!" He Jianguo said without thinking.Xiao Xia's face turned red all of a sudden. "They said Bao'an's daughter-in-law took it?" Jianguo's father interrupted, and even he could understand the meaning of He Jianguo's words. He Jianguo ignored his father, just stared at Xiao Xia's blushing face and said: "There is only such an outsider in the family, they can't steal themselves!" So Xiao Xia's face turned even redder.He Jianguo's heart sank in a straight line as Xiao Xia blushed, but his face remained calm. On the contrary, he tried his best to be pleasant and greeted Xiao Xia: "Xiao Xia, sit, sit." Xiao Xia sat down mechanically.He Jianguo said: "I took a general look, and the things you bought, plus the five hundred yuan you took home, are beyond your financial means." "What?" Xiao Xia didn't understand for a moment. "I mean, even if they pay you next month's wages, you won't have so much money!" "You mean, I took money from their family?" "Did you take it or not?" He Jianguo said, not forgetting to look into the kitchen. Xiaoxi was busy in there, and it was impossible to hear their conversation, but he still lowered his voice: "Xiaoxia, there is no outsider here, tell me Honestly. Of course I'm not going to tell them, I'm going to find a way to get this sorted out." "What did they say?" "They didn't say anything!" He Jianguo became impatient, "But we have to live up to our own conscience!" "I didn't take it." "Xiao Xia!" "I didn't take it!" He Jianguo couldn't force her anymore, "If you don't take it, don't take it. I'm just asking. If there is something, I will correct it if I don't. I remind you to be more careful in the future. You go back, they have an early rest at home." Xiao Xia didn't move, didn't make any sound.With tears in her eyes, she tried her best to hold back. "Bao'an's daughter-in-law, it's nothing." Jianguo's father said, "Jianguo is just asking. Go back and work hard..." At this time, Xiao Xia spoke, and when she opened her mouth, the tears in her eyes fell: "I, I, I quit!" He Jianguo and Jianguo's father didn't expect it, and were stunned.At this time, Xiao Xia said again, "Grandpa, you can give me the five hundred yuan, I can buy a train ticket." He Jianguo was anxious: "You don't want your daughter to go to college?" Xiao Xia was firm: "I can find other jobs." "Then you can't just leave!" "If you don't walk away, what are you doing in someone's house, making them look like thieves?" "They are still very sure about your work..." He Jianguo felt powerless when he said this. "Brother Jianguo, don't say anything. I'll go back and pack my things, and I'll go with you tomorrow!" After saying that, he turned and walked out, forgetting to say hello to Xiaoxi. Xiaoxi felt something strange and poked her head out from the kitchen: "What's the matter?...Where's Xiaoxia?" No one answered her.
