"But there is only one ticket. I don't want to go alone." Zhou Xiaotong was in a dilemma holding the ball ticket. Shen Yutang also said just now that this is a social event. There will be many single men and women at the dance looking for true love.
She already has true love and doesn't need to look for it anymore, but she is very interested in that form of activity.
Lin Qiu didn't care about this, and persuaded her: "Social activities are just for meeting new friends, and I think it's harmless. You will also shine in your own career in the future, and you will also need some connections."
Since Lin Qiu started working, he has been accustomed to thinking about life like a businessman.
Zhou Xiaotong is still a student and has never worked hard in society. She has her own understanding of life. Seeing that Lin Qiu didn't care much about her going to this dance, she felt that Lin Qiu didn't care about her either?
There was a hint of anger in his voice: "Would you mind if I meet other outstanding boys at the dance?"
Lin Qiu didn't know what he said was wrong, which made Zhou Xiaotong a little unhappy: "Isn't it a good thing for you to know excellent people?" He meant that excellent talents can be used as one's own connections to develop.
"What if those outstanding people are better than you?" Zhou Xiaotong was still thinking about relationships.
Only then did Lin Qiu realize that his girlfriend was unhappy. He suddenly wanted to tease Zhou Xiaotong: "There are many people better than me. This university is richer than me, and there are many men who are more handsome than me." .Xiaotong, are you willing to fall in love with someone else?"
Lin Qiu's eyes pretended to be aggrieved.
Zhou Xiaotong softened her heart when she saw this look: "How could it be? We grew up together, and we have a very good emotional foundation." She explained anxiously to Lin Qiu, not wanting him to misunderstand.
Lin Qiu hugged her: "That's okay. I know very well that even if you go to the party, the person you miss most is me, so I don't care whether you go or not. The only thing I care about is that you go If you’re not happy, do you want to go?”
Zhou Xiaotong was very happy when she heard this, but she reserved her smile and said in a pretentious manner, "I'm hungry, let's go eat first."
"OK."
East Street is close to a residential area and has a large population flow. It has a strong Beijing flavor, the kind of sophisticated flavor of old Beijing.
There are two or three schools here. Some old ladies don’t want to retire and stay at home, so they come here to buy snacks.
Zhou Xiaotong picked out a few bags of sticky tooth candy. It was a circle of maltose candy hanging on a small wooden stick. It was solidified by the cold air in the north. When it came to the mouth, it melted and wrapped tightly around the teeth. This was the first time for Zhou Xiaotong to eat the candy. It was wrapped around her mouth and she was speechless.
Lin Qiu laughed loudly on the side and bought a bottle of soda for Zhou Xiaotong: "Drink some water to dissolve the sugar."
Zhou Xiaotong took the soda and drank it: "I'm so angry." In this era, Coke is a rare drink. Most people drink pure soda. Occasionally add some saccharin to make it sweet. Lin Qiu has it on hand. There was no saccharin, so I gave it to Zhou Xiaotong to drink directly.
The two of them strolled on this street for a long time, and they were about to go on vacation. Zhou Xiaotong planned to go home to spend time with her family. Zhou Zhennan was the only child of hers, and she often wrote letters recently, saying that she missed her.
Lin Qiu looked a little lonely when he heard this. Chen Qingxiu didn't know how to read. People spread rumors in the village, which made Chen Qingxiu very uncomfortable. No one wrote letters for her. I was too embarrassed to go to Zhou Zhennan.
Lin Qiu hasn't received a reply from her mother for a long time.
"Are you going home?" Zhou Xiaotong asked. The travel agency is now closed. Lin Qiu has no source of income and can only sit and eat.
Lin Qiu thought for a while: "Go home. The money I earn now is enough to support me for a while. Go home to tell my mother that she is safe and let her relax. And the monkey also wants to go home to see his mother, let's go together Bar."
Zhou Xiaotong was happy when she thought that she could be with Lin Qiu during the holiday. She couldn't hold back the smile on her face. After all, they had just established their relationship and were now in love. Everyone wanted to stay with the other.
A few days later, after the school released the general examination results, Lin Qiu contacted Monkey, and the two planned to take Zhou Xiaotong home by train.
The three children are street children themselves. Even if they return to the town, there is no one they want to meet. He simply stayed and worked in the hotel. Not only do they have food to eat, but they also have a place to stay.
Lin Qiu also respects their ideas. He should not persuade others to be generous without their suffering. He still has some nostalgia for the town because his mother is still in the town.
Chen Qingxiu grew up in the town and has never been to the outside world. Sticking to the rules, she just wanted to stay at home. Lin Qiu tried to persuade her several times but to no avail, so she gave up.
Lin Qiu did not relax after returning home. He borrowed several books on finance from Zhan Yiyuan. When he first opened a travel agency, he found that he had many knowledge deficiencies. In order to facilitate future work, he needs to improve his knowledge.
Monkey is completely relaxed at home because his mother also went home during the Chinese New Year.
It was not easy for these two people to meet each other. The monkey's mother treated her son badly. The monkey only needed food to open his mouth and clothes to stretch out his hands. Even Lin Qiu couldn't stand it anymore, because his mother was at the same level, looking at Lin Qiu with eyes that could turn into water, which made Lin Qiu very uncomfortable.
He even complained privately to Monkey: "It's better to make money in school. It feels weird when I go home."
"Hahaha, that tree will be blown by the wind. If your parents are gone, you will never see it again." The monkey tried hard to search for the new words he had just learned.
"It's like a tree wanting to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, and a son wanting to be raised but his parents are not there." Lin Qiu patted the monkey on the head.
What Monkey said was right. When his mother passed away tragically in his previous life, he wasn't even there to serve her. That was his lifelong pain.
"I didn't expect you to be able to say such things." Lin Qiu joked.
"Brother Monkey, I am always smart." Monkey's funny look made Lian Qiu laugh.
Lin Qiu bought a bunch of New Year's goods for his family with the salary he earned before the holidays. Occasionally, the Lin family would come over to try to catch the autumn wind, but both Lin Qiu and Monkey scolded them.
Although Chen Qingxiu is relatively gentle, Monkey Mother is quite aggressive and forceful. He scolded the Lin family so much that they never dared to come again.
A few days after the New Year, Lin Qiu and Monkey brought a bunch of gifts to visit Zhou Zhennan. His mother worked in the canteen of the Education Bureau, and Zhou Zhennan took care of everything.
Zhou Xiaotong saw Lin Qiu coming and went to open the door for him.
Zhou Zhennan said in a sour tone: "It's really hard to keep the female university here!"
He was just joking, but he actually recognized Lin Qiu very much in his heart. He heard from his daughter that Lin Qiu handled the travel agency matter when he was in college. He handled it properly and accumulated a lot of contacts. When there were a lot of messy things, he didn't lose his temper at Zhou Xiaotong. This kind of person can achieve great things.
Zhou Xiaotong glanced at Zhou Zhennan coquettishly: "No way, I will always be daddy's good daughter."
