After Zhou Keke returned to Rulin Street, many people asked when his parents would come back, and eating at Xie's house was no exception. After being asked many times, he said hastily: "They will come back when they feel better."
This is also true. After Zhou Kewei left for a year, his parents finally returned to normal life. Just because life is on the right track does not mean that they are out of sorrow. As long as there is a holiday, they will usually leave Rulin Street.
Either go for a walk around, or go back to your hometown to rest for a while. In short, when people are most leisurely, they are usually not seen in Rulin Street.
While drinking, Xie Hongxuan asked: "How good are they at your grandparents' house?"
"It's good. The two of them grew vegetables in the greenhouse and adopted a puppy. During the New Year days, my mother even smiled. It was really not easy."
"That's good. You can be quiet and comfortable in the countryside. If you stay in Rulin Street, a group of people will go to your house to chat every day in the name of caring, and they will only talk about old things. It will make her sad."
"That's right. My dad said that they were hiding out in the countryside. I told him that as long as I'm in a good mood, I can do whatever I want, even if I'm escaping, it's no problem. My mother's mood is much better, she said, even if I miss it,
She can't be depressed anymore because of Xiaoying's kindness. Xiaoying takes good care of my mother, and I have to thank her properly."
Xue Qin has to be strong all her life and refuses to accept other people's kindness easily. Wang Jiying introduced her to the private kindergarten, and she decided to apply for it after hesitating for a long time. Firstly, she did not want to owe Wang Jiying a favor; secondly,
If she fails to apply for the job, she will feel very embarrassed. The death of her son has already been a big enough shock to her, so does she still have to bear the humiliation of failing the job interview?
It was Aunt Zhou who did the ideological work for her: "If you apply for the job, give the Xie family some gifts as a token of our gratitude to her; if you don't apply, then just go out and relax. What's the big deal? But you can see in the sky
As for you, what do you think he wants you to do?"
"If I go to work and chat with my colleagues and they ask about the boss, what should I say? If they pity me, what should I do?"
"You just think too much. If you can apply for the job, it will be a great thing. It means that you have strong work ability and a strong character. The employer trusts you. You are so strong, but you are still afraid of talking to your colleagues.
Do you want to get along with each other? If you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it; if they ask disgusting questions, let them take care of themselves. In short, you are going to live in society, not to look at other people’s looks. But I definitely hope that you will return to the workplace.
Strong woman, you can't live up to his expectations."
Xue Qin held the photo of her son in her arms and felt sad for a long time, but finally bravely took the first step to re-enter social life.
Zhou Keke said that her mother was doing a good job in her new unit. She was with her children every day and a smile gradually appeared on her face. Her colleagues were also very nice. After all, they were all kindergarten teachers and most of them were kind-hearted. No one took the initiative to expose her.
Scar, her working environment is very comfortable.
In her spare time, Xue Qin signed up for a calligraphy class and practiced calligraphy with her wife. Xue Qin gradually regained her vitality and wanted to join the city's calligraphy association as soon as possible.
At the Xie family's wine table, several men clinked wine glasses and congratulated the Zhou family on their rebirth. Spring is here, and it would be great if everyone could live a prosperous life.
The men were drinking noisily, but the hostess and the children were still sitting at another table. Xie Jing gnawed on the chicken leg, stared at the men's table, and said dreamily: "I want to go over and eat."
"Your brother hasn't gone over to eat yet!" Xie Ying said, "Smell the smell of tobacco and alcohol over there, it's so stinky! I don't want to go there!"
Xie Chong concentrated on eating the food and sipping the drink. It seemed that he still enjoyed the feeling of "the children's table". Even when the adults asked him to come over to eat, he was unwilling.
Xie Jing felt very sad for Xie Chong's wasted opportunity: "Brother, only adults can eat at that table."
"If you want to be an adult, you should go."
Xie Jing said: "It will take many, many years until I grow up."
"In the past, I had to keep toasting and talking, and I couldn't eat properly. Moreover, as soon as I sat over, they would definitely let me drink. I didn't want to drink. I had to study questions in the afternoon."
Wang Jiying picked up some food for the children and said, "It's okay to go over there. A group of old men are drinking. What's the good thing? You can just eat here. It's refreshing and refreshing. How good it is."
But Xie Jing still stared at the table of men. They were drinking heavily and eating meat. He was envious. "When I grow up, I will definitely go to that table to eat."
Everyone laughed at him.
Zhou Keke still doesn't drink alcohol. No matter how others try to persuade him, he still drinks tea instead of wine. Xie Qingshou thought he had taught Xie Chong the incredible "secrets of recruitment", so Xie Chong's mood improved.
, he held the wine glass and toasted to Zhou Keke: "Okay, if Xie Chong really becomes your junior brother, then I will hold a banquet at the City Center Hotel and treat you to a good meal."
"Second uncle is too polite. As long as he performs normally, Xie Chong will be fine. I didn't help much... However, I very much hope that Xie Chong can come to join me."
"I have confidence in my son." Xie Qingshou said cheerfully. He suddenly turned his head and shouted with the dignity of his father: "Xie Chong, come quickly and give your senior brother a glass of wine!"
here we go again……
Xie Chong had a headache. His father still couldn't change his habit of bragging, and he couldn't escape the fate of being toasted.
Xie Chong really wanted to turn around and leave, but if he did that, his grandfather and father would be very embarrassed. So, he reluctantly walked over and toasted a glass of wine: "Second brother, I will work hard towards your goal."
"Remember what I said, Xie Chong, be sure to pay attention to your eyesight! As long as you can enter school, you will definitely be more promising than me in the future."
"Second brother, I'll work hard first and then talk."
Xie Chong was not enthusiastic about the toast, and the men expressed their dissatisfaction one after another. One cousin was very drunk and insisted on letting Xie Chong sit down next to him and let him drink two more glasses of wine. Xie Chong tried hard not to fall out and said:
"I made an appointment with Haochuan to make up for math lessons with Sister Jingyi in the afternoon. If I drink, the afternoon will be in vain."
Xie Qingshou pointed at his son, seemingly blaming him, but actually he was proud: "This boy really doesn't give me any face at all. He's only the second year of the lunar new year, and he's already learning so hard. I'm really not as good as my son in studying.
, he never let us worry.”
Xie Chong said goodbye to everyone politely and immediately went to his room. After the Spring Festival, he had indeed entered the ranks of "adults", but he still didn't like to drink noisily, and he didn't want to say a toast.
