The heavens set sail from the courtyard

In the kitchen, Shen Lin took out a large bowl and scooped out the stewed chicken soup from the pot. Li Xiaoyue helped her and opened a bag of peanuts to serve as a snack to Wang Gang and the others.

"Xiao Yue, go out and eat! I'm here." Shen Lin said politely.

"It's okay, Sister Lin. The men drink, and I don't like drinking, so I might as well accompany you." Li Xiaoyue said wisely.

Shen Lin glanced at Na Jun who was drinking in the restaurant and asked Li Xiaoyue: "Has Na Jun misunderstood you and Shen Lei again recently?"

Li Xiaoyue's hands trembled when she heard that, and two peanuts fell out. She picked them up and put them in her mouth.

"We are fine." Li Xiaoyue said insincerely.

Shen Lin immediately realized the problem. If it was really good, why would Li Xiaoyue emphasize "pretty good"?

"Xiaoyue, if Najun does something naughty again, you must tell me. Although Najun is Nawei's younger brother, I always treat you as my sister." Shen Lin put down the soup bowl, held Li Xiaoyue's hand and said.

A hint of emotion flashed across Li Xiaoyue's eyes, but she quickly hid it.

In fact, Li Xiaoyue has not been living happily since she reconciled with Na Jun and started living together.

First of all, it’s work. Because the company always requires overtime, Li Xiaoyue fired her boss and is now unemployed at home.

Secondly, since moving into Na Jun's house, Li Xiaoyue has seen Na Jun secretly looking through her mobile phone chat messages more than once.

Although Na Jun said that he trusted her, he actually always suspected that she was cheating on him, but he had no evidence.

In addition, Li Xiaoyue found that her and Na Jun's values ​​were always incompatible. This situation became more obvious after they started living together, and it magnified the problem.

Na Jun always works overtime and doesn't go home until eleven or twelve o'clock every day. When he gets home, he takes a shower and falls asleep immediately. Li Xiaoyue can't even talk to him.

Every time Li Xiaoyue and Na Jun had just talked for a few words, he would change the topic to work, which was extremely boring.

Li Xiaoyue faces an empty house all day long. Sometimes when she feels bored, she goes to play with her friends. When Na Jun finds out, he will ask her indirectly which friend it is, for fear that she will come into contact with the opposite sex.

Sometimes Li Xiaoyue would wonder whether getting back together was the right decision.

"Sister Lin, I've been busy looking for a job recently and haven't seen Na Jun much." Li Xiaoyue walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup, taking the opportunity to avoid the topic.

Shen Lin looked at Li Xiaoyue worriedly and sighed, but as Na Jun's sister-in-law, there were some things she couldn't say to Li Xiaoyue.

Li Xiaoyue put the soup bowl on the table, and Hu Haili said, "Xiaoyue, Shen Lei and I are going to go hiking this weekend. Do you and Na Jun want to join us?"

"Hiking, great!" Li Xiaoyue asked Na Jun: "Which day do you take a break on the weekend?"

Na Jun said unnaturally: "Our team is rushing a project. Do we have to work overtime on both weekends?"

Shen Lin said at this time: "Najun, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but there is always work to be done, and sometimes you have to rest when you need to. You and Xiaoyue just got back together, so you should spend more time together."

Na Jun said disapprovingly: "We live together now, aren't we together every day?"

Na Wei smiled and said, "Na Jun, your sister-in-law wants you two to go out and play more, relax and relieve work pressure."

Shen Lin nodded and said, "Yes! We are going to go hiking as a family this weekend, so Jun, you can come too!"

When Zhuoyue heard that there was something to do on the weekend, he was the first to jump up happily: "That's great, we can go to the mountains to play on the weekend."

Shen Lin said to her daughter: "You have to finish all your homework before you can play on the weekends."

When Zhuo Yue heard this, the smile on his face froze instantly.

"I still have to do my homework!"

Na Wei said angrily: "Daughter, you are a student. Studying and doing homework is your job. You can't just play and not study!"

"Okay then! I'll try to finish my homework on Friday." Zhuo Yue said with a sad face.

Na Jun smiled and said, "Brother, you always say that studying is a student's job. I am doing my job now, and you still persuade me to play?" "How can it be the same?" Na Wei shook his head and said, "Studying is a student's duty, but it is not everything! Study when you should study, and play when you should play. Isn't quality education important now?"

"Brother-in-law, that's a good point. I'll toast you." Wang Gang said with a smile as he picked up the glass.

Na Wei happily clinked glasses with Wang Gang, but Na Jun remained indifferent.

"Brother, what you said is one-sided." Na Jun said inappropriately: "We can't play after we retire! We are young now, so we should work hard. Only when we are old can we have a good life."

Li Xiaoyue frowned and said, "Na Jun, do you really plan to wait until retirement to rest? That's still 20 to 30 years away!?"

Wang Gang laughed and said, "That's right! Now the retirement age has been extended to 63 years old for men. You still want to work day and night for more than 30 years. Won't you become exhausted?"

Na Jun said with a straight face: "It won't take me 30 years. I have a plan. After the company goes public, I will sell the options. Then I will find a suitable and easy job and start to take care of my family."

Li Xiaoyue said unhappily: "Najun, your current income is already high enough, better than most people, you have a house and a car, there is no need to push yourself so hard."

"That's right. Li Xiaoyue didn't force you to buy a big house or a luxury car. Why do you have to work so hard?" Wang Gang interrupted.

Hu Haili touched Wang Gang's arm lightly.

She felt that whether to work hard or not was Na Jun's private matter, and it was not appropriate for outsiders to interfere and offend others for no reason. Didn't you see that Na Jun's face had turned ugly?

Wang Gang understood what Hu Haili meant, but he didn't care too much.

"Shen Lei, I am different from you. You passed the civil service exam a long time ago, and now you can earn millions by writing a book." Na Jun said seriously:
"As an outsider, I was able to survive in Beijing only through hard work. I spent many days and months coding before I could buy a small house. I still have to bear the mortgage for 20 years. I dare not relax."

Everyone was embarrassed by Na Jun's serious attitude. Na Wei picked up the wine glass and said, "No more talking, no more talking, let's drink."

Hu Haili picked up the red wine glass and motioned Wang Gang to drink as well, and everyone moved on from the topic.

"Xiaoyue, are you looking for a job recently?" Hu Haili asked Li Xiaoyue.

"Yes!" Li Xiaoyue admitted.

"Our company's publicity department is preparing to recruit people. The salary is not high, about six or seven thousand yuan a month. Are you interested in a try?" Hu Haili said.

"Haley, does your company have a lot of overtime? I don't like working overtime." Li Xiaoyue did not agree, but instead put forward conditions first.

"The work in the Propaganda Department is relatively easy and we don't have to work overtime much, but sometimes we do have to work overtime. However, our company pays overtime pay," Hu Haili said honestly.

"Do you work overtime frequently? How many days a week do you work overtime?" Li Xiaoyue asked again.

"It depends on whether there are any promotional activities. Generally speaking, we don't have to work overtime on normal days. We only need to work overtime when there are activities." Shen Lin explained.

Seeing that Li Xiaoyue was still asking questions, Na Jun said, "Xiaoyue, why are you so ignorant? Haili is taking care of you by introducing you to her company. Why are you still so picky?"

Li Xiaoyue's face immediately darkened when she heard this, but Hu Haili said, "Najun, it's okay. Companies choose employees, and employees choose companies. It's normal. Xiaoyue, don't think this is a favor."

"Xiaoyue, give me a resume later and I'll send you the interview time. You can come to the company in person to take a look." Shen Lin said in a conciliatory manner.

"Thank you Sister Lin, thank you Haley." Li Xiaoyue said with a smile.

Shen Lin saw that the atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit awkward, so she hurriedly ended the party.

Because they had both been drinking, Wang Gang and Na Jun called for designated drivers respectively, and Shen Lin packed some food for each of them before leaving.

"Sister, I'll call you when we're ready to go hiking on the weekend. If Xiaoyue has nothing to do, she can come along." Wang Gang said to Li Xiaoyue at the gate.

Na Jun refused on behalf of his girlfriend: "Xiao Yue may not be free on the weekends."

Li Xiaoyue glanced at Na Jun and wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth and said nothing in the end. (End of this chapter)
