Chapter 31 I bah
"Today he told me that his family was going to open a branch store, and the store was still being renovated, and he was looking for a shopping guide, so I asked him if he could go through the back door." Frowning, "He said it's not easy, as long as he tells his mother that she is the sister of our Xueba."

"Pfft—you want to say the last sentence!"

"Sister, what do you think?" Xiao Lei asked me with a smile showing her white teeth.

I couldn't help laughing, "What do you think of Yuanfang when I return it!"

"Ouch! No kidding, I really feel good, much better than you are now." He looked at me expectantly.

"..." My body was slightly stiff, and I didn't know how to answer. If it was two days ago, I would nod without hesitation, but now...

"Xiaolei, Xiaoyue—" my mother's voice came again, and then someone appeared at the door, "Why are you still sitting? Are you not hungry?"

Xiaolei looked at me, straightened up and leaned against the waist of the desk, and came over to hold my hand, "Eat first."

"...I've eaten." I replied with a frown.

"You can order again after eating." Xiaolei couldn't help but drag me up from the swivel chair.

My mother took a look at us, left a sentence and turned away quickly.

Xiaolei tilted his head and looked outside the door. After a while, it was my mother who folded out of the living room and dragged me out. I quickly turned sideways and threw the bag on the swivel chair. How about what you said?"

"I have to tell our business first, I can't just leave."

When I walked to the sink, Xiaolei let go of my hand, turned on the water while washing his hands, looked at me sideways and said, "It's not urgent, his shop has just been renovated, and it will have to sell goods and so on when it opens. You also have to choose a date, you can say hello to your business first, and let him find someone first."

"..." When did it start, that little boy who would only laugh and laugh around me all day has become so sensible and thoughtful...

"sister?"

"Oh...Okay! I'll call our business and tell him later." He thought so well, I couldn't find any excuse to shirk it, so I could only use a delaying tactic.

"You agreed!"

"Four to five thousand a month! If I don't agree to such a good thing, my head will be caught by the door!"

"Ha ha ha ha--"

After washing our hands, we walked into the living room, and the food was already on the tea table, two vegetarian and one meat, plus an egg drop soup.

In addition, there is a small bowl next to Xiaolei's rice bowl, beef bone soup, which contains three pieces of beef, with a sprinkling of chopped green onion thoughtfully.

"Hurry up and eat." My mother looked at us with a bowl.

Xiaolei responded, went to the door, picked up two low stools, came over and put them down, "Sister, sit down quickly."

"Yeah." I curled my lips and sat down.

My dad raised his eyes and glanced at me, then lowered his eyes again, took a spoonful of rice with his left hand and fed it into his mouth, and the empty sleeve of his right hand swayed with his movements.

Five years ago, when he was staying up late and working overtime, his hand was accidentally stirred into the machine due to excessive fatigue and lack of concentration. When he was dragged out, the part below the elbow was rotten like mud. Amputation.

That incident was a huge blow to our family. Although the factory lost a lot of money and provided my dad with work-related retirement, the salary was less than half of what it was before.

And my mother, since Xiaolei was born, quit her job and worked as a full-time housewife at home. For more than ten years, let alone out of touch with society, she couldn't find any suitable temporary workers. Even if she found one, there was no one to take care of her at home.

So from then on, my mother read it every day, thinking about how difficult it is for the family now, and what to do when Xiaolei goes to college after reading it. The current situation of the family can't afford two people at all, and eating is almost a problem.

As for my dad, his temper has become worse and worse since then, and he would also scold people for no reason, of course, he basically scolded me.

This is also one of the important reasons why I gave up college and decided to go out to work.

The family is difficult, I can't afford two, and I can only be scolded at home, and Xiaolei is so good at studying, he has always been the first in the class, so let me be a scumbag!

"Sister, why are you staring blankly? Eat."

I quickly looked back, nodded and picked up the bowl, then moved the bowl to Xiaolei's bowl after a pause, "Sister can't eat that much, so I'll share it with you."

"You can't even eat half a bowl of rice?" Xiaolei moved the bowl away reluctantly.

"I'm not going to say, have I eaten before? Hurry up, bring the bowl."

"..." Xiaolei looked at me, moved the bowl back speechlessly, and underestimated, "No wonder you're so thin."

"Someday I'm not like this." I gave him half and moved the bowl back.

He didn't make a sound, Shua Shua took two pieces of beef from his small bowl and put them in my bowl, "Eat more meat."

"..." I stopped my hand holding the chopsticks to pick up vegetables, and then my mother and my father raised their eyes and looked at me.

To be honest, that gaze made me really want to put the meat back into Xiaolei's bowl, but I also felt that it was too ugly, so I could only try my best to ignore that gaze, and bent my lips towards Xiaolei, and squeezed it. One piece took a light bite.

The beef is stewed soft and glutinous, without any complicated ingredients, but the taste is mellow, it is the taste of home...

The bridge of my nose suddenly felt a little sore, I swallowed, and looked sideways at my mother, she lowered her eyes lightly, picked up the spoon and asked my father, do you want to soak in the soup?

My father nodded and said nothing, my mother took his bowl and scooped up the soup, put the bowl back in front of him, then raised her eyes and looked at me again, picked up the chopsticks, "By the way, Xiaoyue, I just told you What do you think about that?"

"..." My heart froze for a moment, I swallowed the rice grains in my mouth, "Didn't I say that I have a boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?" My dad put down the spoon and looked at me, his already stretched face stretched even longer, "Who is it?"

"You don't know even if I tell you." I replied lightly, lowering my head to pick up the rice.

"You can't talk well, I'm your father! Are you impatient if I ask you?!"

"..." It's not just a heart attack, I can't even take a bite of this meal.

My teeth clenched and I put down the bowl, Xiaolei grabbed my hand and looked at my dad, "Dad! My sister finally came back, why are you scolding her?"

"You don't listen to her tone just now, who are you talking to?" My dad lowered his voice, but his tone was still too aggressive.

I frowned and pulled my hands away, but Xiaolei squeezed even tighter, and turned to look at my mother, "Mom, what did you say to my sister?"

My mother held back her expression for a moment before she spoke, "Just what your Aunt Wang said last time."

"That colleague of hers?" Xiao Lei's eyebrows were instantly frowned.

"..." I wondered, did Xiaolei also know?

My mother didn't say a word, she seemed to be acquiescing, Xiaolei said angrily: "I don't say it anymore, do I disagree!"

When I saw Xiaolei like that, I had a bad feeling in my heart, and my dad immediately said, "What can you do if you don't agree? Besides, they might not like your sister!"

"I bother--"

My dad slammed the spoon on the table and stood up violently, roaring, "Who are you talking about!"
