Another 10 days have passed. Qu Lianjie has been focusing on the decoration of the branches these days. This time he plans to open two branches at the same time, so he is extremely busy.
Today is the Lantern Festival. Qu Lianjie planned to take a holiday for himself. He slept in comfortably. After getting up, he felt full of strength, so he took care of the hygiene at home.
After cleaning the house, Qu Lianjie went downstairs and bought a lot of snacks. He turned on the TV and randomly found an anti-Japanese drama. He leaned on the sofa leisurely and watched it with relish while eating snacks.
Just as I was watching the protagonist tearing up the Japanese on TV, I heard a phone ringing. This ringtone was also changed by Qu Lianjie recently:
"Today I watched the snow drifting by in the cold night, and with my chilled heart, I chased after the distant wind and rain..."
Qu Lianjie picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table and saw that it was a call from his mother. After answering the call, he said happily:
"Mom, have you and my grandma had breakfast? I was planning to give my family a shot later, but you called me right now. Mother and son are really in sync with each other!"
"We've already eaten~" Zheng Fen replied with a smile, and then asked on the phone:
"Son, today is the Lantern Festival. Have you bought glutinous rice balls?"
"Brother Shunzi and sister-in-law Qi Hong asked me to go to their place to celebrate the Lantern Festival in the evening, so I didn't buy anything~" Qu Lianjie responded with a smile while eating snacks.
When Zheng Fen heard her son say this, she also remembered something and said happily:
"Son, your Uncle Dajiang told us that you found a good job for Shunzi and the others, and said that I would thank you properly when you come back. You have really made Mom proud!"
When Qu Lianjie heard this, he originally wanted his mother to remind Uncle Dajiang not to publicize the high salary he gave him, but then he thought about it. From the fifth master to Qu Dajiang, three generations of his family were village party secretaries. In the village, It can be said to be quite majestic.
Naturally, he is not afraid of people in the village gossiping, and no one dares to gossip. If it were anyone else, those with pink eye in the village would definitely say jealous words.
Some people even ask themselves to help with the arrangements, but if anyone dares to say something wrong now, Qu Dajiang will be the first to deal with him, but don't treat the village party secretary as a cadre.
Thinking of this, Qu Lianjie said nothing more and asked with a smile:
"Where's my grandma? She went out for a walk after breakfast?"
"Yes, your grandma can't stay idle for a moment at home. She probably went to your Uncle Jiang's house!" Zheng Fen explained to her son.
Qu Lianjie nodded and then warned:
"It doesn't matter if you walk more, just think of it as exercise. You and my grandma must take care of your health!"
"I know, I know!" Zheng Fen was naturally very happy when she heard her son's concern for her.
She felt very happy now. If her son could have another grandson, her life would be even more perfect, so she asked:
"By the way, it's been more than ten days since I last talked to you. Is there any progress?"
"Ah, what's the matter?" Qu Lianjie looked confused and asked subconsciously.
When Zheng Fen heard this, she said in a very dissatisfied tone:
"You kid, you just want to get married and give your mother a grandson. Didn't you agree to it last time, but you forgot about it so quickly?"
Qu Lianjie was very embarrassed when he heard what his mother was talking about. He just said it casually at the time, but he didn't expect his mother to take it seriously.
So he said with a wry smile:
"Mom, how can this be so fast? Your son doesn't even have a girlfriend, so this has to be done step by step!"
"Then you should hurry up and find a girlfriend~" Zheng Fen sounded a little anxious.
Mainly because she was very envious when she thought that people of the same age in the village already had grandchildren, and she wished that her son would have a baby right away.
When Qu Lianjie heard his mother's urging for marriage, he felt a little overwhelmed and quickly changed the subject:
"Mom, I have something else to do, so I'll hang up now and call you later!"
Zheng Fen said with some dissatisfaction:
"You kid, you always find excuses to hang up the phone when it comes to business. Okay, go get busy. But no matter how busy you are, you have to eat on time!"
"I understand, don't worry~" Qu Lianjie finished speaking and quickly hung up the phone.
Putting the phone on the coffee table, he murmured with a scared look on his face:
"What are we going to do from now on? This mother is like an obsessive man. She never leaves her grandson for more than three words every time she calls. Where can she find her grandson all of a sudden?"
Then he shook his head and continued to eat snacks and watch TV. Within ten minutes of such a leisurely day, he heard the phone ring again.
Qu Lianjie frowned, put the potato chips in his hand on the coffee table, and said to himself helplessly:
"Who is this? Why isn't it over yet? Can't you just have a leisurely vacation?"
He leaned forward and picked up the phone. He saw that it was his father calling this time. He pressed the answer button. His tone was different from the previous call to his mother. His tone was a little flat:
"Dad, happy Lantern Festival!"
Qu Datou didn't think there was anything wrong with his son's tone. He didn't go to the company today because his daughter had an afternoon flight to go to school in the United States.
Sitting on the sofa, he glanced at his wife who was busy in the kitchen, and ordered her son on the phone:
"Lianjie, Xiaoxiao went back to the United States today, and your Aunt Xu cooked some food. Come back quickly and let's have a family reunion dinner!"
When Qu Lianjie thought about what happened a few times before, he refused firmly this time:
"It's better to say goodbye. I won't go back. We will quarrel as soon as we meet!"
Qu Datou naturally knew about this, but as a father, he still did not want the relationship between his son and his daughter to be tense, so he thought for a moment and persuaded:
"Xiao Xiao's flight is in the afternoon. The next time we see each other will be half a year later. After all, she is also your sister. Today's meal can be regarded as a farewell to your sister. You have to come back anyway!"
Qu Lianjie felt that no matter what his father said, he would not go back this time, so he refused again, and his words were a bit rude:
"No, no matter what you say this time, I won't go back. I won't see her off. You always make peace with her every time we quarrel. You will get angry every time you go back!"
"That little girl is like crazy. She always talks at me. I'm not cheap, so why would I take the initiative to send her to my door~"
Qu Datou frowned when he heard this, and subconsciously wanted to reprimand him, but he still swallowed the words that came to his lips, put the phone aside, and breathed out gently.
After adjusting his mood, Datou put the phone back to his ear and continued to persuade him with sincerity:
"Son, dad is sometimes in trouble when he is caught in the middle. What do you want me to do? Xiaoxiao is a girl after all, and sometimes I can't say anything too serious!"
"You are an older brother, why don't you just give in to your sister just for dad's sake?"
Qu Lianjie doesn't accept this trick at all. Now he has a firm purpose. No matter what you say, I will not go back. You can't find someone to kidnap me back, right?
So I still refused again:
"Dad, please stop trying to persuade me. Didn't you tell me to give her a little bit of space? In the future, I, Qu Lianjie, will definitely stay away from where she is with Qu Xiaoxiao!"
"I have something else to do, so I won't talk to you for now. I'll go back and see you when I have time~" After saying that, Qu Lianjie hung up the phone.
