Contentment grows joy

Chapter 13 Feeling Up and Down
"Su Jian!..."

Seeing Su Jian returning the gift from others, Qian Hui clenched his fists and growled anxiously at Su Jian.

Su Jian looked at Qianhui in fear, then reached out his hand in desperation and moved the box to his side.

"Mom!" Millet turned her head and growled at Qianhui.

Qian Hui had no choice but to keep silent.

Su Jian bravely pushed the box towards Su Qin again.

After a while of polite greetings, the three of Su and Qin left Su's house reluctantly, taking more than 3 chess pieces with them.

As soon as the door was closed, Miu Li started looking for money and settling accounts.

"Mom!" Before Mili started to get angry, Qian Hui went to the kitchen in a hurry.

Usually, Su Jian does the after-dinner work of washing dishes and mopping the floor.

Today, Qianhui is rushing to do it.

"Honey, you go and rest, I'll come." Su Jian meekly took over the work from Qian Hui.

Although he is honest and obedient, he also has small calculations in his heart.

This Qianhui should be managed by Millet.

All day long, they "sell" millet in the streets and alleys.

When I saw an acquaintance, and within a few words of conversation, it would be about Mili, either asking if he had any children or not, or asking if he had someone suitable to introduce him to.

It's just crazy.

I, Su Jian, used to be considered a small leader at any rate. Is our millet so bad?
Su Jian thinks that millet is pretty good. She is only 30 years old. In this era, not to mention 30-year-old unmarried, even [-]-[-] unmarried, it can be found everywhere.

There used to be a woman in their unit, but she was still an old girl until she retired.But two days ago, at his 60th birthday party, he accepted a marriage proposal from an old Greek man. The wedding will be held next month. After marriage, the old man will bring a large amount of property to settle in China with her. Now he is happy .

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that he was married too early. He had married such a powerful woman as Qianhui a long time ago, and he was always in charge of himself. This is not allowed and that is not allowed.

However, thinking about millet, he thinks it's worth it.

Although he lost his freedom very early, but there was such a caring padded jacket as Su Li who fought for him and her mother, the corners of Su Jian's mouth raised unconsciously.

"If you are fat first, you are not fat, but if you become fat later, you will overwhelm Kang."

This was a mantra that one of their colleagues from the north often used to say.

Maybe we, Millet, can also meet an enviable marriage and find me a good son-in-law.

Thinking of these, Su Jian couldn't help being happy again.

He hummed an unknown song briskly.

Humming while waiting for the storm in the living room.

"Mom! You're talking about you!" Millet's face was livid, and she stamped her feet at Qianhui.

"Oh, Li'er, isn't mom doing this for your own good? Look at your high school classmates, how many are still unmarried? Two days ago, when I was on the street, I ran into Gu Lele's mother, holding her granddaughter, As soon as people saw me, they asked how old my granddaughter was, which made me want to find a crack in the ground and sneak in... What's the big deal, look at her complacency..." Qian Hui told himself loudly.

"Let them say what they say!" Millet raised her voice.

"But, our millet is so many times better than that Gu Lele, why?" Qian Hui looked aggrieved.

"I have you as a mother!" Millet threw all the things Su Qin brought into the trash can angrily.

"Bang!" The door slammed out, shaking the door frame of the kitchen.

"Look, after finally coming back for dinner, you offended her again." Su Jian packed his things lightly, muttering softly.

"You're used to it! It's all your fault!" Qian Hui yelled at him, approached the bedroom, and closed the door with a "bang".

As soon as I came out, it started to rain.

Millet didn't bring an umbrella, so she had to stand on the side of the street to take a taxi with her bag on her back.

Usually, when I don’t want to take a taxi, empty cars pass by me one by one, but now when I want to take a taxi, all the passing cars are full of people.

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, Miu Li became a little anxious and waved at the passing cars indiscriminately.

"Milia!" Su Qin's voice drifted into his ears.

This time, he changed to a Cayenne.

At first, Millet didn't recognize it.

Until he stretched out half of his body and kept waving at her.

Damn it, why is it Su Qin again? !
"Why haven't you left yet?" Seeing that there was no other way, Miu Li had no choice but to get in the car.

She wanted to sit in the back seat, but when she opened the car door, it was full of messy things.I had no choice but to open the passenger door and sit on it awkwardly.

"No, I've already gone back. Now I have something to do. I just passed by here. Shall I take you back first?"

"okay."

Millet turned her head out of the window.

Under the dim street lights, the bustling crowd wave after wave, umbrellas, like falling flowers, floating on the running water.

Suddenly, a familiar face came into view.

It was Shen Ziqiang.

He was walking alone behind a group of people. In that group, there were several men and women, and there was a woman who walked closer to him. She seemed to turn her head and talk to him from time to time, with a sense of intimacy. Ziqiang smiled when he heard it, he was still naive.

Didn't he say he was on a business trip?
How would it appear here?

Who is that woman?

Millet suddenly felt flustered, and her face was darker than the sky outside.

She found that she had a little luck for Shen Ziqiang.

It's ridiculous.

Shaking his head secretly, he completely gave up on Shen Ziqiang.

When I got home, my heart was in a panic, and I went to bed early.

Tossing and turning, he couldn't fall asleep, his mind was full of the woman approaching Shen Ziqiang intimately.

Suddenly, the phone screen lit up.

A WeChat message.

Click to open it, and it's from Shen Ziqiang.

"Are you there?"

I can't tell that this migrant worker still wants to play with two boats, so I really underestimate him.

She doesn't want to talk to him.

He will definitely send a second message.

But after waiting for more than an hour, the phone was still silent.

She sat up from the bed and walked back and forth in the bedroom a few times absent-mindedly.

Outside the window, the rain is still going on, and there is no intention to stop. Today is light snow, and it will be colder in a few days.

A gust of cold air came in through the cracks in the window, Miu Li shivered all over, and quickly got into bed again.

After thinking about it, Miu Li picked up the phone and replied to Shen Ziqiang's message.

"exist."

"Can I call you?" The other party replied immediately.

She could imagine that Shen Ziqiang should have been waiting for her reply.

It seems that he still has a little conscience, let me listen to what he has to say.

"Okay." Just give you and me another chance, Millet explained himself in this way.

The call came right away.

"Hello." Millet spoke first coldly.

"Hey, I'm sorry, I've been on a business trip for a while, and I'm very busy, running around the clock." Shen Ziqiang didn't greet politely this time, but went straight to the point and started the old acquaintance mode.

"Yeah." Millet was still very indifferent.

"I just came back today. I had a meal with my classmates. My university is in another city. There are only 5 classmates in our class. We usually get together. They are all married, and I am the only one left. , So, after dinner, they all went to play together, I felt bored, so I didn't go with them..."

Shen Ziqiang didn't seem to be intimidated by Mili's indifference, instead he became more and more casual in speaking, saying everything was trivial.

Mili also dealt with it like the first time they met, humming and haha, neither wanting to hang up the phone, nor wanting to talk.

"Well, tomorrow, are you free?" Shen Ziqiang tried to ask.

"Yes, yes." Millet replied lukewarmly, I want to see what martial arts you can do.

"Then, I'll pick you up, let's go out for dinner, okay?"

"Yes." Milia didn't know why she agreed to him.
