Zhou's family is on the top floor of the last row of the dormitory building. The house has three bedrooms and one living room. Because Zhou Lu's two brothers have gone to the countryside, her younger brother is still studying, and her parents are also working, so her home is very quiet at the moment. .
After entering Zhou's house, Zhou Lu skillfully made Xia Qingmai brown sugar water, and gave the two children the toffee her mother brought back from the capital on a business trip and the fruit her father brought back from Haicheng on a business trip.
Shuyu quickly fell into Zhou Lu's sugar-coated bullets and kept calling "aunt".
Listening to the milk-smelling 'aunt', Zhou Lu Yemei nodded her head reservedly.
After observing for a while, the child Sun Shuyan also determined that this aunt had no ill intentions towards her mother.
Although he didn't fall towards Zhou Lu as quickly as his sister, he looked much more relaxed.
Seeing the two children sitting on the other side of the sofa and playing, Zhou Lu took Xia Qingmai's hand and said with red eyes: "Qingmai, I'm sorry, my mother beat me hard after learning what I said to you. He was scolded severely."
"I shouldn't have said that to you."
"Being born into a family like that is not a choice you can make."
Xia Qingmai knew in her heart that Zhou Lu couldn't be entirely blamed for this matter. Although what she said didn't sound good, she did think about her.
After holding Zhou Lu's hand, Xia Qingmai also said: "I don't blame you, it's because I have low self-esteem and want to save face. In fact, if I resist bravely like you said, my family might be able to raise enough money to buy me a job. "
It turns out that Xia Qingmai just graduated two months ago, and her best friend since junior high school begged her mother to help her find a job.
Because he was arranged by the deputy director of the paper mill, he could buy a formal worker's job at the textile factory for only two hundred yuan.
I have to give this money, otherwise it will be difficult for the textile factory to account for it.
But for this job, it doesn't matter if you change it, it costs at least 500.
But for the two hundred yuan, Xia Qingmai not only did not dare to ask her family for it, but she was also rejected by Xia Qingmai after Zhou Lu said that she could borrow it first and pay it back slowly after Xia Qingmai's salary was paid. .
Because of Xia Qingmai's rejection, Zhou Lu scolded her a few times, but Xia Qingmai, who had a low self-esteem, even retorted after being scolded.
With these two words, an angry Zhou Lu directly said that she couldn't hold up the wall with mud, and that she didn't even know how to eat when the rice was put in front of her.
After Princess Ruian arrived, she wanted to go back to Zhou Lu, but after a month, she knew that this job must have been arranged separately by Zhou Lu's mother.
How can someone wait for a month for a regular job that everyone wants?
Although this job did not fall on her in the end, Xia Qingmai knew in her heart that she owed this favor.
Xia Qingmai also understood that if she came to Zhou Lu at that time, she would definitely help based on Zhou Lu's temperament, but after thinking about it, she did not come in the end.
One is that she is worried that Zhou Lu will see the difference between herself and Xia Qingmai. The other reason is that Zhou Lu is willing to help her regardless of gains and losses, but what about Zhou Lu's parents?
Zhou Lu's two brothers both went to the countryside, in order to leave the family's human relationships to their only sister and brother who had been in poor health since childhood.
What reason did she have to keep sucking blood from Zhou Lu?
Over the years, Zhou Lu not only helped Xia Qingmai a lot, but also provided her with a lot of good emotions.
She didn't want to make Zhou Lu unhappy with her family because of work.
And most importantly, she wanted to use this incident to make it look like she had fallen out with Zhou Lu in front of the Xia family.
She didn't come to see Zhou Lu when she got married, just to prevent the Xia family from getting into trouble.
After all, when she just graduated, the Xia family asked Zhou Lu more than once if they would arrange a job for her.
During the two years of junior high school and the two years of high school, for a total of four years, the unprepared Xia Qingmai revealed in words more than once that she had a good friend who had a good family and was very kind to her.
After four years of accumulation, when she needed help from her parents, her family tacitly agreed that she would get help from good friends.
Xia Qingmai, who had low self-esteem and felt that she was causing trouble to her best friends, used escape to resist her parents' repeated inquiries, while Princess Ruian used a month of no contact to completely cut off her parents' fantasies and she had changed too much. Good friends would Possibility of suspicion.
Now that she is married, Zhou Lu naturally does not need to pester her parents to arrange a job for her. Moreover, since she is married and has left the Xia family, she can also continue to be good friends with Zhou Lu in a polite and reasonable manner. .
Perhaps it was because Zhou Lu's family was in good condition and she didn't expect so much, or maybe it was because her two months of no contact made her grow up.
Seeing the eight cans Xia Qingmai brought, Zhou Lu just kept asking her whether the man named Sun was really so good to her?
"Fugui has been really kind to me. I have handed over my salary and savings, and I have arranged everything at home."
"I told him last night that I would come to see you today. He originally planned to come with me, but something happened in the team and he was called away."
"And didn't you say that things sometimes disappear when you send them to your elder brother? Fugui said that he has comrades over there, and the transportation team can send the things to Xinjiang Province, and then his comrades will help deliver them to your elder brother. .”
When Zhou Lu heard this, she immediately opened her eyes and asked, "Our county's transportation team actually delivers things to Xinjiang Province?"
Upon hearing Zhou Lu's misunderstanding, Xia Qingmai quickly explained: "It was not sent by our county's transportation team. It was sent to the next province first, and then the transportation team from the next door province sent it over."
"Their transportation team has always cooperated with each other. It is normal to help people carry things."
If it were Zhou Lu two months ago, she would have agreed immediately, but after experiencing her parents' education and work experience in the past two months, Zhou Lu also knew that helping to carry things must be a favor.
But the temptation of being able to send things to my eldest brother is too great. In the past few years, when my family sent things to my eldest brother, it would be good if it went smoothly five times out of ten times.
Thinking that Qingmai's husband is a veteran, he thought that it would be smoother for him to send things to the farm in the far west of Xinjiang Province.
"Qingmai, let me thank you first for this." Seeing Xia Qingmai was about to speak, Zhou Lu quickly said: "I know you and I have a good relationship, but you are married now, and you are not alone anymore. This matter still needs to be done." I’m going to trouble your husband.”
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Lu looked at Xia Qingmai and said: "In this case, I have to discuss this matter with my parents first. After this weekend, I will go to the transportation team to find you. Whether I need your help or not, I They will all look for you."
Xia Qingmai was not surprised by Zhou Lu's answer.
She nodded, estimated that the time was almost up, and said goodbye.
Zhou Lu still has to go to work, so she can go out for a while. After a long time, other colleagues will definitely have opinions.
Zhou Lu also understood this truth, because she had made an appointment to meet on the weekend, and she did not force Xia Qingmai to stay at this moment.
Taking out a big baggage she had prepared, Zhou Lu looked at Xia Qingmai and said, "Here are bacon, cotton thread and fine cotton cloth. Take them all back and I'll go to your house for dinner on the weekend!"
There was an agreement to eat, so Xia Qingmai didn't refuse what Zhou Lu gave her.
But thinking about the good things in Ruian Palace, I can take this opportunity to take out some and give Zhou Lu some return gifts at the weekend.
It's okay to talk things out between good friends. After eating the wedding candy specially left by Xia Qingmai, Zhou Lu also returned to the office.
On the way home by bike, Xia Qingmai also felt that her performance today was good. Zhou Lu didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her changes. She also had a good friend with whom she could talk.
He bought a pound of eggs on the way, but when he returned to the transportation team, Xia Qingmai saw an unexpected person at the door of his home.
