Chapter 1271 Luo Yanqing's only Emotional Destination
Xi Jingyu suddenly said: "Zhou Yaqing must have been a nymphomaniac to Uncle Luo, and then Uncle Luo got annoyed and kicked her out of the institute in anger."
"You are the only one who talks a lot."
Mr. Xi glared at Xi Jingyu.
Brat! Although I'm not entirely right, I'm pretty close to it.
Sighing secretly, Mr. Xi regretted extremely that he should not have been so soft-hearted before and helped the Zhou family by arranging Zhou Yaqing to work in the research institute.
"Grandpa, you make me doubt whether I'm telling the truth!"
Xi Jingyu crossed his arms with one hand. He rubbed his chin while observing the changes in Mr. Xi's expression. Seeing that his grandfather's expression was extremely unnatural, Xi Jingyu immediately widened his eyes and said with an angry look on his face: "Isn't Zhou Yaqing shameless?" Is it thicker than the city wall? She is so stupid that she is not even qualified to carry Aunt Jiang’s shoes. Who gave her the courage to even think about Uncle Luo?”
Hearing this, Mr. Xi looked at Xi Jingyu, his grandson, angrily: "You can't talk properly. No matter what, Xiaoqing is your cousin."
"I don't have a shameless cousin like her."
Xi Jingyu snorted and said with a look of disapproval: "I don't even look at how much I weigh before I miss her unattainable man. Besides, I doubt my aunt's tutor, how can she?" Raise a girl like Zhou Yaqing who doesn’t care about herself and her family’s face and wants to get involved in the relationships of other people’s couples.”
"Grandpa, I don't like Cousin Zhou."
Xi Chenyu understood what his second brother Xi Jingyu said despite his young age. No, he immediately expressed his attitude in front of Mr. Xi.
To put it simply, he supports what his second brother Xi Jingyu said.
"..."
The corner of Mr. Xi's mouth moved, and after a moment, he said: "Your cousin Xiaoqing may have been obsessed with it for a while. Grandpa believes that she will change her mistakes after she realizes it."
But you are not happy with her, and grandpa will naturally not force you to be friends with her. But after all, the Zhou family and our family are relatives, and your aunt is still alive, so you should just do it for grandpa's sake. Please don't embarrass your cousin Xiaoqing. "
Xi Jingyu pursed his lips and remained silent.
The kid Xi Chenyu also didn't say a word.
"Why, you didn't listen to what grandpa said?"
Mr. Xi was filled with helplessness, but he pretended not to worry: "That's all, I'm old and my words have no weight anymore. You can do whatever you need to do, and leave me alone for a while."
Waving his hand, Mr. Xi withdrew his gaze from Xi Jingyu and Xi Chenyu.
"...I don't talk to her."
After being silent for a long time, Xi Chenyu said with a sullen face.
Xi Jingyu: "Okay, for the sake of your face, grandpa, I won't say anything harsh in front of Zhou Yaqing."
"Um."
Mr. Xi nodded. He knew that this was the biggest concession his two grandchildren could give. If he was still not satisfied, the two boys would most likely turn around and leave.
reason?
His children and grandchildren, in terms of temperament, are more or less like him - stubborn!
Yes, when he was young, he was often said to have a bad temper by people around him. Once he became stubborn, it was difficult to turn back.
The family home where the Zhou family lives is not very far from the compound where the Xi family lives. To be more specific, it can be reached by bus within six stops from the family home where the Zhou family lives.
Therefore, Zhou Yaqing's time at Xi's home was very short. However, when he received a call from the comrade on duty at the gate of the compound and heard that Zhou Yaqing had come to visit, Mr. Xi's face changed imperceptibly.
After ending the call, without waiting for Mr. Xi to say anything, Xi Jingyu frowned and said, "Zhou Yaqing is here." He used a declarative sentence.
Mr. Xi neither nodded nor shook his head.
Xi Jingyu: "She is here now. Could it be that she wants to ask Grandpa for help in transferring her back to her original work unit?"
"Don't worry, no matter what your cousin Xiaoqing says when she comes to our house, grandpa will never agree to her."
He never interfered in the work and future of his children and grandchildren. Instead, he violated his principles against a relative's junior. And at such an age, it was the first time in his life that he did something that violated his principles. Afterwards, he undoubtedly regretted it. , but at the same time tell yourself that it’s just this once.
Therefore, no matter what the girl said today or how she begged, he would not help anymore.
Thinking like this, Mr. Xi said: "You are planning to continue sitting here..."
Xi Chenyu didn't wait for Mr. Xi to finish speaking before he said, "I want to see what she will say to you when she comes to our house."
…
"Uncle!"
Before anyone even entered the living room, Zhou Yaqing's crying voice came over: "Uncle! Uncle..."
Seeing Mr. Xi, tears fell heavily from Zhou Yaqing's eyes. She stepped forward quickly and cried: "Uncle, please help me. I want to continue working in the research institute. Xiaoqing begs you, Uncle!"
Kneeling next to Mr. Xi's legs, Zhou Yaqing grabbed his hand and looked up at Mr. Xi: "Uncle, I like the work of a researcher very much. I know that I have shortcomings in my work.
But that's just the beginning, uncle... I promise that I won't be careless again in the future, and that I will work hard. Just help me, help me one last time, and let me go back to work in the research institute, okay? "
"Sit down and talk."
Mr. Xi took out his hand and pointed to the sofa opposite. There was no emotion on his face.
"Uncle..."
Zhou Yaqing was stunned for a moment, then did as she was told. She got up and sat on the sofa, thinking that Mr. Xi might have softened his heart, and it seemed that there was a great possibility that he would help her return to the institute. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yaqing soon realized that she was wrong, and heard Mr. Xi say: "Uncle can't help you with what you asked for."
"Uncle!"
Zhou Yaqing was so shocked that she even forgot to shed tears. After a while, she came to her senses, and the tears accumulated in her eyes flowed out again. She opened her mouth and cried: "No...Uncle, you can help me. As long as you say a word, I can return to the institute, Uncle..."
Mr. Xi's expression remained unchanged: "Your job transfer is arranged by your superiors. Why is it that... How to transfer your work relationship? I not only know the mistakes you just mentioned, but I have also heard other things. "
Ignoring Zhou Yaqing's expression, Mr. Xi paused for a moment and continued: "In my opinion, your work relationship being transferred is good for you and your original unit. Otherwise, you would not be transferred to a work relationship, but directly receive a dismissal notice. Do you understand what I mean?"
Mr. Xi said this tactfully enough. He was saving face for Zhou Yaqing and didn't want Zhou Yaqing to be embarrassed in front of her two cousins Xi Jingyu and Xi Chenyu. However, Zhou Yaqing didn't appreciate it. She heard the hidden meaning in Mr. Xi's words, but she didn't think she was wrong in the relationship between men and women.
"Uncle, is it wrong to like someone?"
Tears dripped down her cheeks, Zhou Yaqing said aggrievedly: "When I first arrived at the institute, I fell in love with the guy surnamed Luo at first sight. I felt that this was my love, and I wanted to get closer to him, so I would talk to him after work, but I never disturbed him during work hours. Uncle, I know the limits..."
Grandpa Xi frowned, his face sank, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
"You met your love, but do you know that he has a wife and children?"
Xi Jingyu spoke at this time. He looked at Zhou Yaqing and said sarcastically: "Or do you like to be someone's mistress? But even if you like it, you have to see if the gay man is willing to volunteer, don't you think so?"
"Jingyu!"
Grandpa Xi called Xi Jingyu and signaled his grandson to save some face for Zhou Yaqing.
"Grandpa, did I say anything wrong?"
Xi Jingyu looked innocent.
"..."
Grandpa Xi was speechless.
"Cousin Jingyu, how can you say that about me? I met my love, aren't you happy for me? As for you saying that the other party has a wife and children, that's not a big deal... I've inquired about it, his wife was just introduced by the leader,
It's not a free love, they must be difficult to resonate spiritually, and I just want to rescue the person I like from a loveless marriage. When he is with me, he will know what love is, and he will definitely be very happy and grateful to me!"
"You..."
Xi Jingyu was almost laughed at by Zhou Yaqing. What kind of values does this person have, and he can even say shamelessness so high-soundingly?
She thinks she has become the savior of other people's love, who does she think she is?
It's ridiculous and shameless!
"Uncle Luo likes Aunt Jiang very much."
Xi Chenyu frowned, and looked at Zhou Yaqing coldly: "You are ugly, Uncle Luo will not like you."
"You...you are so rude! I am your cousin, you don't support me in pursuing my love, but you still mock and ridicule me here, don't you think you are being too much?"
I hate it so much! He is so stubborn, it is better not to have such a cousin.
His grandson did nothing wrong, but was accused by the little girl of the Zhou family in front of him. Old Master Xi was a little impatient with Zhou Yaqing and said, "Go back."
"Uncle! Uncle, are you really not going to help me?"
Zhou Yaqing sat still, she sniffed, and made a pitiful look: "You are my grandma's elder brother, my real uncle, you can't not help me, uncle..."
Xi Jingyu interrupted: "Aunt and my grandfather are not real siblings. She was born to my step-grandmother. My grandfather helped you once before, which was already a face for aunt and your Zhou family. This time you got into trouble at work and were transferred from your job, and you still want my grandfather to help you again. Could it be that in your heart, my grandfather and our family owe you?"
Xi Chenyu: "No."
Zhou Yaqing: "..."
Two dead kids, don't you regard her as a relative?
What bullshit are you talking about!
"Xiao Qing."
Grandpa Xi observed Zhou Yaqing's facial expression change, shook his head in his heart, and said slowly: "There is nothing wrong with liking someone, but the premise is whether the person you like is single and has a fiancée. The person you like now, you know that he has a family, but you still like him, this is wrong, it is not appropriate."
"Uncle, but his wife was introduced by the leader, there is no love between them!"
Zhou Yaqing did not listen to Grandpa Xi's words, but Grandpa Xi was not angry after listening to her. He asked: "How do you know that there is no love between the couple?
As far as I know, Comrade Luo values and likes his wife very much. Similarly, his wife also respects and likes her husband. They now have six children. The family lives a warm and harmonious life, which makes people around them very envious.
Okay, I'll say so much. It's best if you can listen to it, but it doesn't matter if you don't. In a word, I can't help you with what you ask for. It's late now. You should go back quickly to avoid your family worrying."
As Mr. Xi said, he stood up: "I'm a little tired. Go back to the room and lie down for a while. Jing Yu, you can see Miss Qing off later."
With these words behind him, Mr. Xi left the living room.
"Uncle..."
Zhou Yaqing called out to Mr. Xi, wanting him to stop, but she didn't get any response from Mr. Xi.
"please."
Xi Jingyu stood up and made a farewell gesture to Zhou Yaqing.
"Xi Jingyu, if you treat a girl like this, be careful not to find a wife in the future!"
After getting up, Zhou Yaqing glared at Xi Jingyu fiercely, and then walked out of the Xi family's living room without looking back.
…
The Spring Festival is coming in two days. At noon that day, Mingrui and Minghan and Mingwei were cleaning the windows and cleaning the house and outside. Suddenly, the landline phone rang in the living room.
"Brother, I'm going to answer the phone."
Minghan put down the rag in his hand and quickly came to the living room.
"Hey, who are you looking for?"
He picked up the phone and just said hello to the person on the other end when he recognized who the person on the other end was and couldn't help but ask: "It's you, don't tell me that you are calling me specifically on this call."
"...Yes, I...I am indeed looking for you!"
On the other end of the phone, Xi Jingyu held the phone. He endured it again and again, and after hesitating again and again, he finally couldn't hold it back and decided to make this call to his good friend.
"Tell me what's going on."
Minghan frowned slightly, with confusion in his eyes. He heard something unusual from Xi Jingyu's voice, but he didn't say anything for a long time, so he couldn't help urging: "You should speak, otherwise I will die." , I’m very busy at home right now!”
"Is aunt at home?"
Xi Jingyu's words are obviously irrelevant.
However, Minghan didn't care. He said, "My mother took my little brother and sister to my grandma and grandpa's house."
Xi Jingyu's voice was slightly surprised: "Aunt Jiang returned to her hometown? What about Uncle Luo?"
"Did I say that my mother returned to her hometown? Xi Jingyu, listen carefully, my grandma and grandpa have a home in Beicheng. It is a two-in-one courtyard house with a single family. It is very beautiful inside!"
Jiang Li did take the three dumplings to the courtyard he bought for Captain Jiang and his wife, because two days ago Jiang Sange and Jiang Sige's family arrived in Beicheng, and Jiang Li didn't stay much in the courtyard that day, thinking that he would soon The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I took three dumplings there early this morning to see if my parents still needed to buy anything for the new year.
Originally they were going to take Mingrui and Minghan Mingwei with them, but these three said they had something to do and did not follow Jiang Li.
And it was just an excuse that they had something to do. They wanted to help Jiang Li, his mother, clean up the house so that Jiang Li could relax.
But in fact, the house is quite clean. After all, both Captain Jiang and Jiang Li like to be clean, and Jiang Li is even a bit of a germaphobe, so the house is always kept clean and tidy.
But the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Mingrui San only knows that Jiang Li will definitely give the house a thorough cleaning in the next day or two, so today's incident happened.
They didn't want Jiang Li to work too hard.
"Oh! Then you have to take me to visit our grandma and grandpa's house another day."
As Xi Jingyu said this, what he was thinking in his mind was that his family also had a courtyard house, and there was more than one, but it was just idle and no one lived in it.
Minghan: "Okay, I'll take you there later. Now can you tell me why you called?"
"Then I told you not to rush."
Xi Jingyu's voice was cautious.
"Can you stop being so nagging? You have something to say, otherwise I really have to get busy!"
Minghan said this, but his heart tightened involuntarily. He felt that what Xi Jingyu said was definitely not a trivial matter, and it was probably related to their family.
After clearing her throat, Xi Jingyu's voice came from the microphone: "There is a woman who likes Uncle Luo, Luo Minghan, do you hear what I'm saying?"
"..."
Minghan was stunned, and soon he came back to his senses: "Who, do you think you like my dad?"
"My cousin is my aunt's granddaughter, her name is Zhou Yaqing. She joined the research institute about half a year ago, but was recently transferred from her job by the research institute. I heard it was because she made many mistakes at work.
And then...and she likes to get close to Uncle Luo...Luo Minghan, Zhou Yaqing, although she was transferred away from her work relationship, I don't think she will give up pestering Uncle Luo,
I've been thinking about this for a while and decided to tell you, so that Aunt Jiang won't be kept in the dark and my shameless cousin takes advantage of her. "
After feeling confused for a while, Minghan regained his composure and said, "My dad and my mom have a very good relationship."
"Luo Minghan, no matter how good a relationship is, it can't withstand misunderstandings. Besides, my cousin is very difficult to deal with. If she plays dirty tricks, will you make sure nothing happens between aunt and uncle?"
"Besides my mother, my father only has work in mind. He has no time to get involved with other women. Besides, he spends most of the year in the laboratory. If a woman wants to take advantage of my father, she must have that." Opportunity is what it takes.”
"Luo Minghan, what we want is just in case. After all, some people are too shameless. There is no comparison between normal people and people like that."
"..."
Minghan said nothing.
Xi Jingyu's voice came from the microphone again: "Luo Minghan! Luo Minghan, let me tell you, sometimes, men are easy to be mean. They don't take the initiative or reject the women who come to their door. It’s easy to make mistakes if you don’t commit under such a principle. Of course, I don’t mean that Uncle Luo is that kind of man, I just..."
Minghan interrupted Xi Jingyu and continued: "Okay, stop talking. I know what you mean. Don't worry, I have confidence in my dad and my parents' feelings."
"Then...then I'm troublesome."
Xi Jingyu laughed sarcastically.
"You are a bit troublesome, but I still want to thank you. After all, you told me that out of kindness."
Speaking of this, Minghan paused and continued: "I'm going to clean the glass. Let's talk later."
Xi Jingyu: "Okay."
Minghan: "Goodbye."
Xi Jingyu: "Goodbye."
At this time, Mingrui and Mingwei came to the living room after cleaning the window glass. They saw Minghan sitting on the sofa with a solemn expression, not even noticing that they were there.
"Luo Minghan (second brother)!"
Mingrui and Mingwei called Minghan in unison.
"..."
Minghan came to his senses: "What's wrong?"
Mingrui frowned and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"fine."
Minghan shook his head.
"Second brother, don't lie to me and eldest brother. We all see that something is wrong with you, and it is related to the phone call you answered."
Ming Wei crossed her arms and looked at Minghan with raised eyebrows: "Tell me, second brother, if you don't tell me and the eldest brother what happened, I will ask my mother to ask you when she comes back."
"Luo Minghan, do you want mom to ask you, or do you want to tell me now?"
Mingrui looked directly into Minghan's eyes: "Who called?"
Minghan: "I'm a friend."
Mingrui: "Which friend?"
"Brother, are you and Luo Mingwei sure you want to listen?"
Minghan pursed his lips slightly and saw Mingrui and Mingwei nodding. Minghan did not hide anything anymore. He repeated what Xi Jingyu told him. At the end, he asked: "Brother, what do you and Luo Mingwei think about this matter?" What’s your opinion?”
Mingwei was the first to respond: "I believe dad, he will definitely not have anything to do with women outside."
"Except for the emotion in my father's eyes when he looks at our mother, towards other people, including us children, his eyes have always been very indifferent, without any fluctuation. This shows that our father's heart cannot be touched by external things at will. "
Hearing what Mingrui said, Minghan couldn't help but frown: "Brother, why don't you speak so politely? Why is my father's heart not touched by foreign objects at will? It sounds so troublesome to me."
"Second brother, you are quite smart, why have you become a fool now?"
Mingwei shook her head and said: "What the elder brother means is that it is difficult for dad to like someone. In other words, it is difficult to impress dad.
And our mother is our father's only emotional destination. Even the six of us brothers and sisters have no weight in our father's heart, let alone the wild women outside who can enter our father's heart. "
"But Xi Jingyu said that men are easy to be mean. He also said that some men adopt the principle of not taking the initiative, not rejecting, and not committing to the women who come to their door. I..."
Before Minghan could finish speaking, Mingrui slapped him on the back of the head: "Is our dad that kind of man?"
"no."
Minghan blurted out.
Mingrui: "Then what are you worried about?"
"Yes, second brother, since you believe in dad, what are you worried about?"
Mingwei tilted her head, her eyes full of confusion.
Rubbing the back of his head, Minghan glared at Mingrui: "Brother, can't you be gentler?"
"cannot."
Mingrui answered simply.
"Second brother, how can I wake you up if my eldest brother is gentle?"
Mingwei added: "It's just a matter like that, but you're thinking all over the place. Are you showing off your brain?"
"That's too much, Luo Mingwei! I'm not worried about something happening to the relationship between our parents. Besides, Xi Jingyu said that his cousin is very difficult to deal with. Even if the working relationship is transferred, I'm afraid I won’t let go of my father either.”
Staring at Mingwei, Minghan made up his mind about Mingrui: "Brother, do you think we should tell mom about this?"
"If dad comes back on New Year's Eve, we will find an opportunity to tell our mother what happened and listen to what dad said by the way. If dad can't come back, we can wait until after the Spring Festival to talk to our mother about the matter, so as not to tell her in advance. It will affect my mother’s mood during the Chinese New Year.”
Then catch the bugs. . .
