urban life

Chapter 369

"Dad, drive slowly, rather wait for three minutes, don't rush for a second. Mom, be careful, your body hasn't fully recovered yet."

"Okay!" Liu Shuhua clasped her biological daughter's hands tightly, nodded and agreed, "Don't worry about me and your dad, we are fine."

"Oh." Hou Mengting's ruddy face was full of reluctance, and her tone was full of frustration and loss.

Even if there are thousands of reluctance, there will be a time to part.

After the Chinese New Year, the reunion migrant workers gradually left their hometowns and embarked on the return journey.

Although Hou Mengting is the boss, she is no exception. She left her parents and returned to Shanghai.

When a child travels a thousand miles, the mother is worried, and when the mother travels a thousand miles, the child is also worried.

Since the day before yesterday, the moment Zhou An booked the air ticket, the sisters were already reluctant to part with their parents at home, and cared about each other.

No matter how much Zhou An comforted her, it would not help.

After two consecutive days of worrying, today is finally the time to say goodbye.

I saw the sisters lowered their heads, stared at the ground, pouted their mouths slightly, like a child's eyes, with a blush around their eyes, showing nostalgia.

The cold, arrogant, and violent Mr. Hou in the past, now looks like a small woman, and Zhou An feels very uncomfortable looking at it.

But there was no way, the two of them had dragged on until the end of the Lantern Festival, and it was time to leave, with too much work accumulated on hand.

It doesn't matter to him, it's the same if Lixin Media has him or not.

Dameisheng Company may need Hou Mengting to take care of it.

My brother-in-law Hou Junda returned to Shanghai on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year and has been working for ten days.

"Okay, don't be like this." Liu Shuhua put away her concern, and patted her daughter's shoulder, "People who are about to get married are still crying, be careful, Xiaoan, don't let me down."

"He dares!" Hou Mengting glanced at it.

Zhou An: "."

Before she could feel complacent and feel that her husband is good at teaching her husband, she suddenly felt pain in her ears, accompanied by a heavy and angry tone: "Hou Mengting, you have grown up. How dare you bully Xiao An in front of me? There is no law. Xiao An's love for you is not an excuse for your unscrupulousness, don't be too "pretentious", be careful to "pretend" to death. Could it be that Xiao An really can't beat you? No, he let you"

After preaching to her daughter, she looked up at Zhou An who was watching the play, and continued: "Xiao An, I still say the same thing, don't get too used to Hou Mengting, sometimes you have to teach her a lesson, just like I taught your uncle Same, you have to fight when you have to fight."

Mother-in-law, I want to educate this bitch, but I really can't beat her. Your daughter is physically strong, and I was the one who was beaten.Zhou An thought helplessly.

While deserting, he nodded obediently: "Auntie, I see."

"Mom, don't take such a bully, I'm your own daughter." The sisters rubbing their ears said angrily, "I'm so worried about you, it seems that kindness is like a donkey's liver and lungs, you are about to lose a daughter. "

Hou Mengting escaped the fatal blow from Flying, quickly climbed into the car, shook her head, stuck out her tongue and said, "Hey, I can't hit it."

No matter how cold and cold a person is in front of the person he is closest to, he will still maintain his childishness. The three people in front of him are all Hou Mengting's most trusted and favorite people, so they are full of childishness.

No one is an iceberg that lasts forever.

Zhou An withdrew his gaze from the sisters, raised his eyes to look at the elders, and said unwillingly, "Auntie and uncle, why don't you two go to Shanghai together? You are getting married soon. I don't understand the marriage process, and I need your elders' help."

"Forget it." Hou Lin waved his hand, "I'm too lazy to run."

Liu Shuhua rolled her eyes at her husband, but also refused: "Xiao An, don't worry about us. After you and Tingting get married, I will naturally go to Shanghai to enjoy your bungalow. Don't dislike me as a mother-in-law."

Hearing this, Zhou An was stunned. This was the first time Liu Shuhua used the word "mother-in-law". There were only three words, which were light and light, but to him, they were like a thousand catties.

He instantly felt trusted by others, and also felt that his mother-in-law had completely handed over her own daughter to him.

Zhou An suppressed the joy and excitement in his heart with great control, looked up at Liu Shuhua, thought for a while, and then said seriously: "Mom, I understand."

Since the mother-in-law behaved so generously, he also changed her address by "hitting a snake with a stick".

If you want to marry someone else's daughter, you have to be brazen.

Hearing this address, Liu Shuhua's eyes narrowed into a slit, with a dazzling light shining inside, and a smile filled her slightly wrinkled face, obviously very satisfied with this son-in-law, and she was willing to hand over the woman to the other party.

"Let's go, be careful on the road." Hou Lin looked down on his wife very much, and she would make you happy if she said "mom". Women are only so promising, and when they encounter serious things, a man needs to stand out. He waved his hand and said in a serious manner. Said: "Don't worry about us, I will take good care of your mother-in-law."

"Okay, Dad."

When the mother-in-law becomes a mother, the father-in-law has to become a father, and the address changes together.

"Hey." Huh?Hou Lin was stunned for a moment, and also froze. Then he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled as if he was going to laugh all the way to the back of his head. He patted the other person on the shoulder, and his tone was full of joy, "We will be good buddies from now on."

"."

The change of title made the sad atmosphere of parting much less, because they knew that this parting will meet again in May of this year, and by that time, they will truly become a family and will never be separated again.

After a few words of greeting, Zhou An drove away from the elders, the small courtyard, and Zhuangzi.

Looking at the car driving slowly in the ice and snow until it disappeared from sight, Liu Shuhua sighed slightly: "Hey!"

"Why are you sighing?" Hou Lin put his hands behind his back and said, "The old girl has a good home, you should be happy, and you are frowning. If you don't know, you think your future son-in-law has run away. Finally, the old girl After getting married, Xiao An is really a 'resentful seed'."

Speaking of this, his body suddenly tilted, as if he was about to fall to the ground, but his excellent balance controlled his body well, and he kept away from Liu Shuhua at a flying speed, when he heard Liu Shuhua glared at Hou Lin viciously, with a sharp voice And Loud: "Hou Lin, you live very comfortably, don't you? If it weren't for Xiaoan's face these days, I would have given you a lot of good looks. It's okay for you to be ungrateful, but you even insulted my son-in-law."

"Are you saying that Xiao An is not my son-in-law?" Hou Lin looked at the other party's expression, and seemed to feel that today was a little unhappy for him. He ran away while talking, "I went to play cards, Bye-Bye."

36 is the best plan.

Liu Shuhua couldn't outrun her husband, so she could only watch him disappear into the corner, and said bitterly, "Unless you don't go home tonight."

Standing in the yard, I was angry for seven or eight seconds, and then suddenly a happy smile appeared on my face, and I whispered softly: "Mom, mom, mom hehe."

As the wheels turned, the familiar Zhuangzi leaned back and embarked on the return journey.

"Dad? Mom? I don't know how to be ashamed!" Hou Mengting put a pair of shapely legs in front of the co-pilot, eating Dongbei frozen pears while talking, "I haven't married you yet, how dare you say that word."

"I'm shameless." Zhou An replied.

Hou Mengting rubbed her chin and thought, "Oh, that's true."

"."

He rolled his eyes, smiled evilly, and said softly, "After leaving me, the future father-in-law and mother-in-law will have to wait at least a few months before seeing each other. Why aren't you sad? I said that your reluctance just now is It was pretended, but now it looks like it really is, with superb acting skills, your daughter is simply too ruthless, and she forgot about the two elders in a blink of an eye."

"Zhou An, I don't like you anymore." As soon as these words came out, Hou Mengting suddenly felt no appetite, pouted her lips, and looked at this man sadly and angrily. The man with this scar was the one she loved the most.

I'm just joking, do you need to bully me like this?I'm still not your most beloved woman, Hou Mengting thought with her head down.

"Hee hee!" Zhou An smiled all over his face. Sometimes it's cool to tease the other party, but then he stopped the car at the entrance of the expressway, took the other party's thin hand, and kissed him gently, as if A rare treasure, comforted softly: "The most beautiful encounter in the world is a reunion. When we meet our parents again, we will never be separated again."

"When the time comes, our two families will live together. You plow the field, you weave, you fetch water, and you water the garden."

"Huh?" Originally, Hou Mengting was full of joy, but suddenly frowned, and looked at the man suspiciously, "Why do I do all the work?"

"I'm lazy." Zhou An nodded calmly.

"My mother," Hou Mengting gritted her teeth instantly, and vowed to fight this man to the death.

This kind of frank and shameless made her anxious.

"I'm driving, don't hit me." Zhou An started the car with a serious face.

The slender hand that had been stretched out to the other's ear stopped suddenly, and Hou Mengting's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, flashing a dangerous and angry light.

Hi, I'm so angry.

Hou Mengting crossed her arms and turned her head to look out the window, as if ignoring the man.

However, in less than 5 minutes, she chatted with Zhou An while eating snacks, and sometimes stuffed snacks into his mouth.

No way, this man is her fiancee after all.

Even if you are a dog, you have to forgive him.

What else to do.

The two chatted, and arrived at the airport not long after.

Entering the parking lot, Zhou An took out a series of luggage packages, then threw the car key into the car, closed the car door, and the two left the parking lot with the big bags and small bags.

The car was taken care of by someone.

From the north to the south, the plane takes about three hours to fly.

At Modu International Airport, Zhou An stepped into this international metropolis again. He took a deep breath and a smile appeared on his face.

This unfamiliar city has brought him too much good luck, rich money, deep friendship, and a lifelong lover. He has a sense of belonging to the devil.

The city is still in such a hurry, the airport is full of people, coming and going, bustling, parting, reunion, next to a couple who have not seen each other for a long time, hugging each other, kissing in the public, people around All smiles, revealing envy.

Young is so good.

Zhou An couldn't kiss in public, so he had to hold the sisters' little hands: "Let's go home."

"Hee hee!" Hou Mengting smiled sweetly.

Compared with kissing, she felt that the word home was more warm.

The two walked out of the airport with a lot of luggage, and then stopped a taxi.

The taxi driver was a middle-aged man with a bald head. He put the luggage in the trunk very enthusiastically, looked at the fullness of his trunk, and said with emotion: "Oh, there are enough."

"Sorry." Zhou An shyly smiled, "I will pay more for the fare."

The old man's love for children is always so "heavy". When the two left the Northeast, Liu Shuhua prepared a lot of local specialties, melon and fruit snacks, vegetable snacks, sauerkraut that Zhou An liked, small squid that Hou Mengting liked, and even Spend a lot of money to buy root ginseng.

Knowing that the neighbors in Zhuangzi dug it from the mountain, Liu Shuhua ran quickly after hearing about it, and bought it immediately.

To be honest, as long as you have money, you can buy these things, and they are not as precious as you think.

But the affection and care in the things are priceless, and Zhou An has to drag them to Shanghai even after spending expensive consignment fees.

"Hey, it's all trivial. No one packs a big bag or a small bag during the New Year's Eve. It's full of love." The bald driver waved his hand nonchalantly. Drivers are always a chatty group, talking while getting in the car "What's more, the living expenses in this big city are so high. You can bring more things from home, save money, and save more money. For couples like you, I need to plan for buying a house and having children in the future."

"Oh, by the way, where is your destination?" After talking a lot, the bald driver remembered the business.

"Yushui Bay." Zhou An replied.

The bald driver asked Zheng, scratched his shiny head, and asked, "Where is Yushui Bay in Extra Beach?"

"Ah."

"." The bald driver fell into silence for a while, silently looking at the couple through the rearview mirror.

Let me tell you how hard it is to be in a big city, and you suddenly say that you live in a mansion with tens of millions, is that interesting?

No fun!
There is one thing to say, Zhou An thinks it is very interesting, he always thinks that he is an ordinary person, he should understand the life of ordinary people, food, clothing, housing and transportation, don't let yourself be too drifting, down-to-earth is the most important thing.

The bald driver also reacted quickly, with a ruddy complexion, apparently the cheerful person also had a moment of shyness, and said helplessly: "You said it earlier, you might as well take a special taxi, my poor taxi does not suit your status. "

While talking, he started the taxi and drove towards Yushui Bay.

"Hey!" Zhou An sighed deeply, frowning tightly, with a sad expression on his face, "Brother, I don't want to show it anymore, I will cry when I say it."

"I was born in a township and my parents were ordinary people. I'm not a rich second-generation rich man. I can't afford a toilet in Yushuiwan in my whole life. I'm just a small security guard inside. The gatekeeper. The whole day's work is to watch those rich people come in and out, bow to people, apologize, and often get stared at and ridiculed."

"With my conditions, how can I find a partner. This is my sister. She looks pretty, but she is congenitally disabled. She can't speak or hear. Everything has to be taken care of by others. Whoever marries her is a burden. Until I haven't married yet. I have no choice but to take her with me and take good care of her. Hey, my biggest wish in this life is to hope that my sister can live a good life."

The taxi drove slowly, and there were only voices in the car, the voice was low and hoarse, full of sadness and grief, as if he was about to cry in the next second.

Hou Mengting twitched the corners of her mouth, turned her head and looked out the window blankly, and put on her earphones.

She couldn't listen anymore.

How can this man be so nonsense.

Ever since I got in the car, I have been chatting with the bald driver for most of the day.

She told the truth, but Zhou An didn't say a word of truth.

Originally, she wanted to refute, but facing the sympathetic gaze of the bald driver, she suddenly didn't want to expose her buddy's lies.

So be it.

"Hey!" After listening, the bald driver sighed, with a miserable look on his face, "Brother, I thought I was the most miserable in this world. I have no car or house, there are old and young, and every day I open my eyes, I want The family is busy. Who knows that the hemp rope is only broken at the fine point, and bad luck only finds the poor."

"Compared to you, brother, I am ashamed."

"Hey, brother, don't say that, I think you are more tired than I am." Zhou An touched the head of the "sister" next to him lovingly while talking, his eyes were full of kindness, "I never thought about getting married under this condition." Or things like buying a house, I just need to take care of my sister, and you have a big family to support, brother, you are the real man."

"Hey, man, what is the purpose of living in this life?" The bald driver suddenly asked a profound philosophical question. Feeling sympathetic, he hesitated and asked, "Why is your sister wearing earphones? Can she hear songs?"

"Can't hear you." Zhou An shook his head, "It's just a decoration."

"Hey!"

Along the way, the bald driver sighed countless times, admiring the strength of this boy, sympathizing with what happened to this beautiful woman, and lamenting the pain in the world.

The world is simply too unfair.

The two seemed to be good friends for many years. They met each other and hated it late. They kept chatting on the road and finally arrived at the gate of Yushuiwan Community.

"Brother, I can't accept this money." After the bald driver parked the car, he hurriedly stopped Zhou An from scanning the QR code, and said in a deep voice, "After hearing what my brother said today, I realized how beautiful my life is, brother Thank you from the bottom of my heart, this fare is a lesson.”

"It's only natural to give money by car, brother, it's not easy for you." Zhou An took out three red banknotes from his pocket while talking, put them on the seat, and then dragged the 'disabled sister' out of the car regardless, and got down on the ground. He waved to the bald driver, "Brother, the management of Yushuiwan is very strict, we can't stay here for too long, see you today, see you later."

"Brother, you are this." The bald driver felt helpless, gave a thumbs up, and praised this handsome young man, "Thank you for teaching me to take life more seriously."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the bald driver reluctantly left, and the old taxi disappeared into the streets.

I haven't seen each other for more than a month. The Yushuiwan community is still so quiet and tidy. Red lanterns are hung on both sides of the street, which seems to indicate that the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year is not far away. Cars pass by, many of which are less than one million , the people living in this area, no matter who they are, can be called famous people.

Returning to the community again, Zhou An shook his head from side to side, there was a sound of bones rubbing against each other, and he calmed down instantly. He has lived in this place for three or four years.

"Is this interesting?"

"What?" Zhou An was a little confused, but immediately understood what the sisters meant, with a perfect arc on the corner of his mouth, hugging each other's fragrant shoulders, "It's very interesting, my 'disabled sister'."

"Sooner or later you will be punished. You will be killed by the thunder." Hou Mengting rolled her eyes.

It is difficult for her to understand this man, sometimes he is too restrained and shy, like an autistic and socially phobic; sometimes he is too arrogant, she can't imagine how embarrassing and difficult it will be if he is exposed at the moment Affection.

Man, he is a collection of contradictions.

"You know a hammer, I'm telling a white lie." Zhou An didn't feel ashamed at all. Instead, he said with a smug expression on his face, "After the driver brother heard my story, he didn't feel ashamed about life. With a deeper understanding and recognition, I will live with a better attitude. I am called helping others. Do I really have to pretend to be a billionaire and talk to the driver brother? He will because Feeling inferior due to the disparity in wealth”

Depend on!
This man can always find excuses for his actions, and the excuses he finds are always so reasonable, Hou Mengting has nothing to say.

Too lazy to listen to the other party's nonsense, she was afraid that there would be problems with her own thinking logic, so she walked towards the community, leaving Zhou An's voice alone to echo behind: "I haven't finished talking yet, why did you leave, are you being caught?" I am overwhelmed by your husband's glorious image. Oh, I can't carry so much luggage by myself."

"Hey!" Seeing the beautiful figure go away, Zhou An sighed deeply, and shook his head helplessly, "Women are messy animals, Brother Cao, what do you think of this sentence?"

Brother Cao, the community security guard who came to the side, was stunned for a moment. He looked at Mrs. Zhou in the distance, and then at Zhou An. He hesitated for a second and said, "Happy New Year, Mr. Zhou."

How about you ask me?Dare I say it?Brother Cao thought to himself.

"Happy New Year." Zhou An didn't mind the other party changing the subject, took out a red envelope from his pocket, handed it to the other party, and said, "How is it? Didn't you go home for the Chinese New Year today?"

Brother Cao did not refuse, took the red envelope with both hands, then lifted the big and small luggage, and said with a wry smile: "It's not like you don't know about our job. It's almost a luxury to go home every Spring Festival. There is no way, with the salary of the property, you have to Pay the price."

"Let me tell the property owner, let me take a few days off and go back to see my wife and children. It's not good to be alone in Shanghai." Zhou An also said with his luggage.

"Don't, don't, there's no need for Mr. Zhou. This is my responsibility and my job. Don't worry about me. I really can't bear it."

"It's okay, it's just a casual matter." He waved his hand.

The owners of high-end residential areas and the real estate are in an unequal position, because the identities of the owners are all well-known and the real estate fees are expensive. A casual sentence can attract the attention of the real estate, let Cao brother rest for a few days, Zhou An is still capable It can be done.

In fact, all community owners can do it, but few people will chat or communicate with these community staff, because everyone is not in the same world.

If Brother Cao hadn't had a better relationship with Zhou An, he would generally not have done it.
