Candide in Chronology is on strike

"Okay, let's go have lunch first and make sure we're full before we go." When Qin Xi said this, he suddenly thought that Qin Qing was not at home at this time.

I don’t have the time to cook. It’s already time and the restaurant is open, so that’s a good choice.

Thinking of this, Qin Xi made a decision: "I won't cook for lunch, I'm not in the mood."

"Let's wait at home for now. There is one person who hasn't come back from dinner. When Qin Qing comes back, let's go out and have a meal together."

With their income, it's a simple matter to go out and have a meal.

When it comes to checking out, this time you pay, next time it's me, it's very orderly, you don't fight and I don't fight, it's just a natural turn, which actually makes their relationship better.

As soon as Qin Qing came back, the three of them immediately locked the door and went out to eat. After eating, the two of them went directly to their destination. As for Qin Qing, she could go wherever she wanted.

Qin Jiang and Qin Xi are the free-spirited type towards Qin Qing. Besides, Qin Qing is not too young now and is about to graduate from junior high school. It is not good to be too restrained. Children at this time are most likely to have rebellious mentality. .

Chen Zhi's family lives in Maoer Hutong on Dingfeng Avenue. The small house is more than 80 square meters, with seven rooms separated, including the main room for dining.

It was not a big place, but there were a total of sixteen people living in it. During the meal, the Chen family sat or stood, and it was extremely crowded.

Every time, Chen's mother divides the food in advance, and it belongs to whoever deserves it, and no grabbing is allowed. As for putting the food on the table for them to eat as they please, that is absolutely not allowed, because some people will definitely not be able to eat.

The law of the jungle is a common rule when family resources are not abundant.

Maybe it’s because a big family is sitting around eating together, and the Chen family has a good appetite. According to them, they never have enough to eat. Even during the Chinese New Year, Chen’s father and Chen’s mother just rowed here, maybe It's almost enough if you're eighty percent full.

It is completely impossible to eat to the fullest. People at this time are all big-bellied. Two bowls of solid rice can only be regarded as ordinary. Three rice bowls, if you loosen your belt, it is not impossible. Belly.

Although the Chen family is large, they are also poor. Chen Zhi is working and has the highest salary among the family. He has to pay twenty yuan to his family every month for food. Even if he gets married, there is a high probability that this will not be enough. Nothing will change.

Lu Jing also knew this. She didn't care about this little money. As long as she thought about it, her salary alone would be enough to support her and Chen Zhi. They would even live a very happy life. Moisturize.

She didn't care before. It was because she was in love. She liked to care about Chen Zhi, so she would think of tolerating these unreasonable and even slightly excessive conditions. But now her mind is clearer. These days, there are many Looking back on their past, Chen Zhi's "irrationality" in the past was magnified countless times in her eyes.

When Lu Jing and Qin Xi arrived at Maoer Hutong, the Chen family had just finished lunch. Except for those who worked in the factory, everyone else was at home.

Mother Chen is doing handicrafts with her eldest daughter-in-law and her third daughter-in-law. They have no jobs and can only do handicrafts at home to support the family.

There are also many children in the family, especially the eldest brother Chen Zhi. The couple got married early and had two children in three years, giving birth to six children at once, including a pair of twins.

It would be difficult for them to support so many children with their own income. Even raising them all would be no easy task.

Fortunately, the family is not divided. Everyone eats in the same pot, and there is someone to help with everything. There are many people in the family, and there are many children. The older one takes care of the younger ones, which is quite worry-free.

Just to take advantage, the third daughter-in-law also worked hard to have a baby, for fear that she would fall behind. By then, all the advantages would be taken by the eldest family.

"Aunt Chen, is Chen Zhi here?" Lu Jing's words were very blunt. As far as she knew, her brother started working on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year this year. Today, the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Zhi has not reported to the unit yet, let alone started work. This is why she and Qin Xi came here to find someone at noon. s reason.

When Mother Chen saw Lu Jing, she stood up and felt quite at a loss. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and calmed down.

"It's Xiao Jing! Come in and sit down."

"It's freezing outside. It must be very cold for a girl like you to come here. Come in and warm yourself up by the fire."

Lu Jing waved her hand: "No, Auntie, I'm here to see Chen Zhi. Is he at home?"

Although the other party's attitude was very friendly at the moment, she could not forget the sarcastic and sarcastic look on this woman's face towards her two days ago.

"You are here to see my Xiaozhi!"

Mother Chen slapped her head and suddenly remembered: "It's unfortunate that you're here. Chen Zhi just went out not long ago. He seems to have gone to play with friends. How about you come in and sit for a while."

At this moment, according to Chen's mother, Chen Zhi, who had just left home not long ago, was walking side by side to his home in Maoer Hutong with a girl with short ear-length hair.

The person next to him is his blind date, introduced by his eldest sister. This woman is his eldest sister's sister-in-law. She looks just like that. She is not as good-looking as Lu Jing, has no job, and even her family conditions are not as good as Lu Jing's.

But there is one thing she is better than Lu Jing, that is, this girl is clean, both inside and out. He is her first blind date and the first man she has been intimate with. , he will only live in her heart as he is, and there will be no childhood sweethearts like Xiao Hua's neighbor.

"No, auntie, I have something else to do. Since Chen Zhi is not at home, I'll do it next time." The rest of Lu Jing's words were swallowed in her throat because she saw two people walking side by side at the alley.

One of them is her current boyfriend, Chen Zhi.

The two figures standing together looked so well matched and so dazzling.

When Chen Zhi saw Lu Jing's figure, his body froze first, and then he became uncontrollably panicked.

Taking three steps and two steps, Chen Zhi soon crossed a long distance and ran in front of Lu Jing.

"Xiao Jing, listen to my explanation."

Lu Jing shook off Chen Zhi's hand on her shoulder: "No need to explain, we are not children anymore. I know what you mean."

"Okay, don't act so affectionate and disgusting to isolate me, I find it disgusting."

During this period of time, she was really tortured and exhausted. She was thinking about this all day long. She didn't even understand why the Chen family's attitude changed so quickly.

Before, she wanted to ask for a reason and try hard to save this relationship. After all, she and Chen Zhi were in love, but now, everything was in vain, her heart was dead.
