The other party paused for a moment and then laughed.
——Comrade Xue, do you still remember me? Lao Liu shouted out all of a sudden, which shocked me instead? Are you a prophet of the future? Or are you planning something magical?
Xue Ling laughed and said: "Of course I am a clever strategist! Your voice is so honest and sincere, I will remember it for the rest of my life. As soon as you opened your mouth, I immediately figured out it was you!"
——What a surprise! I am simply flattered! How come I am so lucky!
Xue Lingxi explained: "I contacted Wang Qing a few days ago. She asked about your son and said that you had taken the train north, so I have been waiting for your call at home.
——So good?! You are a busy man! How can I trouble you to wait for my call at home? If I delay your opportunity to make a lot of money, then I will feel guilty!
Xue Ling lowered his voice: "I am in confinement and not sitting at home. Is it possible that I can still go out and wander around?"
——Hey! It’s your third child? Or your fourth child? Congratulations!
Xue Ling replied cheerfully: "The third and fourth babies were born together, they are twins of a boy and a girl. Including the two brats at the front, there are four in total, three boys and one girl."
——Wow! As expected of Comrade Xiao Xue, he can’t be too awesome! Twins! Two babies born at once! It’s amazing! So you are still confinement now?
Xue Ling replied: "I'm about to give birth. Old Liu, where are you now? I'm waiting to meet you and catch up on old times!"
——I'm still in the Imperial Capital... Sigh! Let's not mention it, but my forehead still hurts when I mention it. To be honest, I came to see my daughter this time. That girl must have been my old enemy in her life, and she came here specifically in this life.
I'm so angry!
Xue Ling asked: "What happened? I heard Wang Qing said that she was not satisfied with her job in the provincial capital, so she resigned and went north to find a new job?"
——Yes! She graduated from Chinese Studies. I asked her to find a job in a newspaper office in the provincial capital. It was introduced by an old friend of mine. She was stable, good and promising, and there were old acquaintances with me.
Where can I find such a good job? But that girl doesn’t believe in evil. She always thinks that she has graduated from college. She is wronged by staying in the provincial capital. She always thinks that she is so talented that she can reach the sky with her hand! She doesn’t even say hello, just say hello.
Hand in your resignation letter, and then God comes looking for a job. I found out about it more than a month later. She said she had found a job here and told me not to worry, but could I not worry? I had to get a job
Go!
Xue Ling asked: "Then your wife came with you? Where are you now?"
——My wife couldn’t come. My daughter-in-law was pregnant and was very unhappy. She had to stay and take care of her daughter-in-law. I got carsick and seasick, so I could only come here by train. I’m currently staying in a small hotel near the train station.
inside.
The train station is in the suburbs, not far from the main factory, but still quite far away from the city center.
Xue Ling asked: "So your daughter's affairs have been taken care of? I have to wait for you to come over and talk about old times! You can't just leave like this. We haven't seen each other for many years! I remember that I gave birth to my second son and left Rongcheng.
He is five years old now, which means we haven’t seen each other for five years."
——Isn’t it? I often talk about you, and I occasionally contact Wang Qing to ask about your situation. She said that you are investing in real estate in Imperial City, right in the city center. I don’t know much about Imperial City either, so
I didn't ask carefully. Now that I'm here, I finally know how big the imperial capital is. It's so big that I couldn't imagine! Yesterday, I took a No. 3 bus to the city center. I wanted to go to you, but then the dead girl made me angry.
, I lost all mood, so I simply went back to the hotel.
Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "Is your daughter's job stable? Don't be angry. If you have anything to say, speak slowly."
——Can I not be angry? Xiaoxue, let me tell you! It turns out that she has been lying to me all this time! She said on the phone that she had found a job and that the job was stable. After I came here, she bothered me to go to the scenic spots every day.
, she refused to take me to her workplace for a look. I waited and waited, until yesterday I got impatient and insisted on her taking me to her workplace. That damn girl couldn’t keep it secret anymore, so she had to tell the truth. It turned out that she
She only worked that job for a month, and quit after receiving her salary. Now she is still blindly looking for a job! Imperial Capital is the largest city in our country, and there are no talents needed. Talents like her who have graduated from college are everywhere!
She is picky and picky. People want her things, but she doesn’t want them. People don’t want her things, but she is obsessed with it. You said she is so ambitious, how can she achieve anything? But she still refuses to listen to me, and takes everything as
It's all out of my ears. Yesterday, I was scolded for nagging all day long and getting old before my time, just like an old woman!
Xue Ling couldn't help but snicker and whispered: "Don't be angry, let's meet up later. By the way, bring your daughter with you. She doesn't have a job now, so where does she live?"
——After she quit her job, she moved out of the dormitory and now lives in a rented house by a girl she knows. She asked me to go home first and come over at noon to buy a ticket for me and ask me to go back to Rongcheng as soon as possible.
Xue Ling looked at the clock and said: "It's ten o'clock in the morning. Old Liu, you checked out the room in the small hotel, then packed your luggage and waited for me at the main gate of the train station."
——No, no, no! You are still in confinement! You can't come out, be careful of catching the wind. I can't go back yet, so I have to persuade her to go back to the provincial capital. If not, come back to Rongcheng with me, and I'll be at the newspaper office.
It's better to find a position as a small editor than to be like a headless fly here.
Xue Ling hurriedly explained: "No, I'm going to pick you up to live with me. Lao Liu, I have a room and food here. If you and your daughter are still in a stalemate, it will cost money to stay in a small hotel. I
It's right in the city center, and it's easy to get there by bus, and buses and tricycles are just around the corner."
——That won’t work! You have many children, elderly people, and a big family now, and you are still in confinement. How can I cause you any more trouble? If nothing else, I can just stay in a small hotel. It’s expensive.
It's okay, I brought enough money, so there's no need to worry.
Xue Ling frowned when he heard this, "Old Liu, are you trying to make me angry? We have been old friends for so many years, but you came to my territory and stayed in a small hotel. Where do you want me to put my face? I
There is also a hotel here, I opened it myself and I don’t have to pay for it.”
——Ah?! You still open a hotel? Really? In the city center?
Xue Ling answered yes and explained: "It's downstairs from my house. There are several floors. There are twenty or thirty rooms on the first floor. How can they be full? Anyway, if the room is empty, it will be empty. I won't suffer any loss if I let you stay.
What are you afraid of?"
——Yo! Really? Then I’ll check out right away and then go find you!
Xue Ling said: "Let's make an appointment. Your daughter is going to see you at noon, right? You keep her, then check out and pack your luggage and wait for me at the main entrance of the train station. I'll be there on time at half past eleven."
——No! Aren’t you still in confinement?
Xue Ling said calmly: "Don't worry, I can catch you without blowing a little bit of wind."
——Really? Why does it sound so...impossible to me?
Xue Ling chuckled: "You will believe me when I arrive."
——Okay, that’s settled, half past eleven.
Xue Ling hung up the phone and turned around to change out of her clothes.
I can no longer fit into the clothes I wore when I was so skinny. Although I have lost a lot of weight this time, I still weigh more than 110 pounds by visual inspection, so I can only choose the clothes I wore when I was pregnant.
I put on a thin jacket, long trousers, socks, and then found a hat to put on.
