After eating and drinking, Tachibana Aya originally wanted to sit in front of the counter and continue to trouble Natsuki, but in the end she was driven to the corner to go to work. Tachibana Aya was usually very touchy, and Natsuchi couldn't let herself be
Her excuse for fishing. Although there was no one in the store at this moment, Xia Zhi still stuck to his post, which was decisively different from the other guy over there who would come over every now and then to have a go at it.
"If you come here again, you can take care of tomorrow's dinner yourself."
Forced by helplessness, Xia Zhi used his own Noble Phantasm of Opposite Flowers, and the effect was outstanding. Tachibana Aya said two harsh words that Xia Zhi was almost tired of hearing, and walked back to the corner. Sure enough, it couldn't be done.
Pamper her.
Now, except for Tachibana Aya, there were no customers in the store. There were surprisingly few customers coming today. Xia Zhi felt a little bored, so he went back to his old job, randomly picked up some coffee beans, and then put them at the counter.
I was very happy to grind it. Ever since I got a new skill at the school festival last time, Xia Zhi became interested in grinding coffee beans with chopsticks. The convenience and efficiency have improved a lot than before, and Xia Zhi is very happy to do it.
Practice this skill. I just have nothing to do now, so I crush some and drink it myself. It is regarded as employee welfare. Xia Zhi does not have any psychological pressure.
However, as he was grinding, Xia Zhi felt his cell phone vibrate in his pocket, and he took it out of his pocket. What Xia Zhi saw was someone who surprised him. He didn't immediately
After answering the phone, Xia Zhi looked around and made sure that there were no customers in the store who needed service for the time being. Then he answered the phone: "Hello?"
"Hey, is this Xia Zhi?"
"Well, it's me. What's wrong? You called me suddenly."
"Why, can't I call you if nothing happens?"
Xia Zhi was a little dumbfounded: "No, no, it's just that you rarely call me. It's usually from Xiao Meng. Mom, what do you want from me? I'm still at work."
"Are you still working so late? Have you eaten?"
"We ate, we ate in the store. And there aren't many customers now. It's very relaxing. You don't have to worry about me."
"Really? That's good. The main reason I'm calling is to tell you one thing. Mengmeng told you before that she has received the admission notice from high school and university, right?"
"Yes." Of course, Xia Zhi still remembers this matter. He is always happy. There is such a genius in his family. As a member of the family, he is certainly honored, although this matter has nothing to do with him.
big relationship.
"Then I'll make a long story short. Mengmeng stayed at home every day because she got the notice. It was like this before, and there was no other situation, so it has always been like this. But last week, suddenly there was a big problem in the unit.
The project was a joint project with your father's company. In the end, for some reason, it suddenly became a situation that required me to go on a business trip with him for a period of time. The next period of time may be very busy.
Look."
"Are you okay?" Xia Zhi didn't know much about the content and relationships of more formal work, but if his mother could even say "very busy" on her own initiative, she should be considered very busy.
"There is no big problem at work. Apart from being busy, there is nothing special about it. Moreover, the project this time is quite important. Your dad and I are both a little bit unable to get away from each other. We may have to keep changing places for business trips for a while. What are the details?
I won’t say more about the situation, since you won’t understand it anyway.”
There is no need to say more about this last sentence! Xia Zhi almost shed tears.
"Here comes the main problem. Although your dad and I can barely take care of ourselves, it's a little difficult to bring Mengmeng with us. The number of people traveling on business is fixed, and Mengmeng doesn't want to run around.
So she didn’t go with us. But I wasn’t worried about leaving her alone at home. I discussed it with your dad and came up with a good idea. What do you think it is? "
"...Isn't it?"
"It seems that you have guessed it, so I won't tell you anything. You also know that Mengmeng stays at home every day, reading books, eating snacks and so on when she has nothing to do. Usually your dad and I don't feel at ease when we are at home.
, Now that we are going on a business trip, isn't that making us even more uneasy? So we want Mengmeng to come and live with you for a while. What do you think?" Xia Zhi heard her mother sigh: "This time
Your father and I can't turn down work. We don't know why the work unit is so tough this time. It's unlikely that we will stop working to take care of Mengmeng. You also know Mengmeng's character. Let her go to her grandpa's house.
I'm not used to it either. You are the only one who can take care of Mengmeng and make us feel at ease. We don't have to ask you to take care of Mengmeng. We are just asking for your opinion now. If you are not free, we will find someone else.
Just do it, and don’t have any psychological burden. I’m really sorry, as a parent, I have caused trouble to you.”
"It's nothing, nothing." Xia Zhi quickly denied: "It's a good thing that things go well at work. Don't worry too much. Besides, it's better not to let Xiao Meng go to Grandpa's place. It's not easy for Grandpa there either."
.Does Xiaomeng know about this?"
"Mengmeng already knows, and she's right next to her now. Do you want to tell her?"
"...Let Xiaomeng answer the phone for a while."
After the communication went blank for a while, a cold yet familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello."
This style of speaking that doesn't care about the presence or absence of the conversation partner is very similar to Xiao Yume's usual style.
"Xiao Meng? I am Xia Zhi."
"I know." Xia Meng responded with a slightly cold voice.
"You already know what mom just said, right? What do you think?"
"If they still can't let go, that should be the best way."
That's right... Not to mention that his parents are worried, even Xia Zhi himself is worried. If there is really no other way, his parents probably won't call him, but it's not that he hates himself
They just want to cause Xia Zhi as little trouble as possible. But can family matters be called trouble?
"Then would you mind coming over and staying with me for a while?"
"Whatever." It was still a very Xia Meng-style answer.
"If that's the case, then come and stay for a while. It can also be regarded as a trip."
