Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 380 What do you think it is?
After eating and drinking, Tachibana Aya originally wanted to sit in front of the counter and continue to trouble Natsuki, but in the end she was pushed to the corner to go to work.Aya Tachibana is usually very touchy, and Natsuki can't let herself be her excuse for being touchy.Although there was no one in the store at this moment, Xia Zhi still stuck to his post, which was decisively different from the guy over there who would come over every now and then to make a fuss.

"If you come here again, you can take care of tomorrow's dinner yourself."

Forced by helplessness, Xia Zhi used his own Noble Phantasm of Opposing Flowers, and the effect was outstanding. Tachibana said a few harsh words that Xia Zhi was almost tired of hearing, and walked back to the corner.Sure enough, you can't spoil her.

Now, except for Tachibana Aya, there are no customers in the store. There were surprisingly few customers today. Xia Zhi felt a little bored, so he went back to his old job, randomly picked up some coffee beans, and then put them at the counter. Very happy to grind.Since acquiring a new skill at the last school festival, Xia Zhi has become interested in using chopsticks to grind coffee beans. The convenience and efficiency have improved a lot than before, and Xia Zhi is very happy to practice this skill.It just so happened that I had nothing to do now, so I crushed some and drank it myself, treating it as employee welfare. Xia Zhi didn't have any psychological pressure.

However, after grinding, Xia Zhi felt the phone in his pocket vibrate, and pulled the phone out of his pocket. What Xia Zhi saw was someone who surprised him.Xia Zhi didn't answer the phone immediately. He looked around and made sure that there were no customers in the store who needed service for the time being. Then he answered the phone: "Hello?"

"Hey, is this Xia Zhi?"

"Well, it's me. What's the matter, call me suddenly."

"Why, can't I call you if I have nothing to do?"

Xia Zhi was a little dumbfounded: "No, no, it's just that you rarely call me. Usually it's from Xiaomeng. Mom, what do you want from me? I'm still at work."

"Are you still working so late? Have you eaten?"

"We ate, we ate in the store. And there aren't many customers now. It's very relaxing. You don't have to worry about me."

"Really? That's good. The main reason I'm calling is to tell you one thing. Mengmeng told you before that she has received the admission notice from high school and university, right?"

"Yes." Of course, Xia Zhi still remembers this matter. He is always happy. There is such a genius in his family. As a member of the family, he is certainly honored, although this matter has nothing to do with him. Big relationship.

"Then I'll make a long story short. Because Mengmeng got the notice, she now stays at home every day. It was like this before, and there was nothing else, so it has always been like this. But last week, there was a big problem suddenly in the unit. The project was a joint project with your father's company. But in the end, for some reason, it suddenly required me to go on a business trip with him for a period of time. The next period of time may be very busy. Look."

"Are you okay?" Xia Zhi didn't quite understand the content and relationships of more formal work, but if his mother could even say "very busy" on her own initiative, she should be considered very busy.

"There is no major problem at work. Apart from being busy, there is nothing special about it. Moreover, this project is more important. Your father and I are a bit stuck together. We may have to change places for business trips for a period of time. Specifically I won’t say more about the situation, because you won’t understand it anyway.”

Needless to say the last sentence!Xia Zhi was about to shed tears.

"Here comes the main problem. Although your dad and I can barely take care of ourselves, it's a little difficult to bring Mengmeng with us. The number of people traveling on business is fixed, and Mengmeng doesn't want to run around. So she didn’t go with us. But I wasn’t worried about leaving her alone at home. I discussed it with your dad and came up with a good idea. What do you think it is? "

"...Isn't it?"

"It seems that you have guessed it, so I won't tell you anything. You also know that Mengmeng stays at home every day, reading books, eating snacks and so on. Normally, your dad and I don't feel at ease when we are at home. , now that we are going on a business trip, isn't that even more worrying? So we want Mengmeng to come and live with you for a while, what do you think?" Xia Zhi heard her mother sigh: "This time Your father and I can't turn down work. We don't know why the work unit is so tough this time. It's unlikely that we will stop working to take care of Mengmeng. You also know Mengmeng's character. Let her go to her grandpa's house. I’m not used to it either. You are the only one who can take care of Mengmeng and make us feel at ease. We don’t have to ask you to take care of Mengmeng. We are just asking for your opinion now. If you are not free, we will find someone else. Just do it, and don’t put any psychological burden on me. I’m really sorry that as a parent I have caused trouble to you.”

"It's nothing, nothing." Xia Zhi quickly denied: "It's a good thing that things go well at work. Don't worry too much. Besides, it's better not to let Xiao Meng go to Grandpa's place. It's not easy for Grandpa there either." Yes. Does Xiao Meng know about this?"

"Mengmeng already knows, and she's right next to her now. Do you want to tell her?"

"...Let Xiaomeng answer the phone for a while."

After the communication went blank for a while, a cold and familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello."

This style of speaking that doesn't care about the presence or absence of the person he's talking to is very similar to Xiao Yume's usual style.

"Xiao Meng? I am Xia Zhi."

"I know." Xia Meng responded with a slightly cold voice.

"You already know what mom just said, right? What do you think?"

"If they still can't let go, that should be the best way."

That's right... Not to mention that his parents are worried, even Xia Zhi himself is worried.If there was really no other way, his parents probably wouldn't call him. It wasn't that they hated him or anything, they just wanted to cause Xia Zhi as little trouble as possible.However, can family affairs cause trouble?

"Then would you mind coming over and staying with me for a while?"

"Whatever." It was still a very Xia Meng-style answer.

"If that's the case, then come and stay for a while. It can also be regarded as a trip."

"Yeah." She agreed.

Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.
