Chapter 10 Mom's Words Are Always Right
01
Everyone knows that He Caihong was once Su Donglin's best friend, and they have always maintained a friendship similar to that between men.There is a difference between men and women on friendship issues: when your brother says "No", you don't ask anymore; when your sister says "No", you must ask.

Rainbow has never delved into the relationship between Donglin and Dongyu.Since Dongdong Lin seldom mentions Dongyu in daily conversations, Caihong feels that there must be something wrong with the relationship between the two brothers.What is the problem, Rainbow did not ask.But looking at Dongyu's eyes and Donglin's expression, this question must not be simple.

"Brother," Dong Lin stood up, "What do you want me to do?"

Dongyu didn't answer, and strode over to the table.

Qin Wei wiped his mouth with a napkin and stood up: "It turns out that they are here to look for me."

They were almost the same height, and they were very close, facing each other, with raised eyebrows, and the tips of their noses almost poked into each other's faces.

"What happened to Qin's investment in Taiyu?" Su Dongyu asked.

Qin Wei sneered: "Taiyu is not your company, is it? I have money, and Donglin needs money—we hit it off right away."

Su Dongyu's face darkened suddenly, he clenched his fist with his right hand, shook Qin Wei's face threateningly, and said every word: "Our Su family doesn't need your money. I feel dirty when I think of the word 'Qin'. dirty!"

"Then you are really worrying too much," Qin Wei chuckled, "Your company has suffered a lot recently, and the stock has plummeted, right? Will the directors be angry? For Donglin's sake, if you really need money, I will I am willing to help you regardless of past suspicions.”

With a "bang", just two seconds before the words finished, Su Dongyu threw a left uppercut into Qin Wei's face.

Rainbow knew about the brothers' hobby.Dongyu loves boxing, and Donglin loves mountaineering.The old man disagreed with the former, and the old lady disagreed with the latter, so neither of them received more in-depth training.Later, Dongyu went abroad to study, and he was not in front of his father, so he probably developed this hobby.

This punch was precise and ruthless, and when it was swung out, it used the strength of the shoulder instead of the strength of the arm.Qin Wei lost his footing all of a sudden, and fell backwards. The table moved a foot out of thin air, and the cups and plates fell to the ground with a clatter.

Dongyu shouted coldly: "Abolish him!"

Before everyone could react for a while, the two assistants had already rushed over.Dong Lin went up to meet them, punched and kicked and fucked them.

Qin Wei also regained his composure at this moment, picked up a wine bottle on the table and threw it at Dongyu.

Ji Huang grabbed Rainbow and asked, "It's a fight, what should I do? Which side do you want me to help?"

"Help for what? Can't you persuade the fight?"

"I can't persuade you. The thugs are here. If you don't do it, you will die."

"It's none of your business, don't meddle! Be careful of getting hurt!" Just as he was talking, Dong Lin was punched not far away, and he groaned in pain. Rainbow pushed Ji Huang, "How about you help me?" Dong Lin, his ribs have just been injured, and he hasn't fully healed yet! Remember, don't fight with others, just pull them away."

In panic, she didn't know what to do. It was a pair of brothers who were fighting. There was an internal conflict. Dong Lin didn't speak, so she didn't dare to call the police.

Ji Huang jumped into the battle group, trying to pull Dong Lin away from the hands of the two thugs. About Dong Lin said a word to him, he threw Dong Lin away and rushed towards Dong Yu, punching hard on the carpet. Dongyu, who beat Qin Wei, dragged back and dragged him to the door.Dongyu stood up straight like a carp, and kicked Ji Huang in the chest.

Rainbow's heart sank with a "click".Because that kick was clean and neat, although Ji Huang stepped back sensitively, he didn't completely dodge it.

Rainbow couldn't help yelling: "Stop! Everyone stop! If you don't stop, I will call 110!" She took out her mobile phone and found that no one paid attention to her in the noise, and no one listened to her. Beating back and forth like blood, accompanied by the sound of wine bottles breaking.Within a few minutes, the man's face was completely red.Qin Wei's face was covered with blood.Dongyu's two thugs clearly had the upper hand, and their target was Qin Wei. They probably had Dongyu's orders, so they didn't take the initiative to attack Donglin.Seeing that Ji Huang was wrestling with Dong Yu, one of them threw Qin Wei away and rushed towards Ji Huang again.

The sound insulation effect of the private room is so good that people outside must not be able to hear anything.

Rainbow rushed to the door, intending to go out to call the security guard, but Dongyu, who was guarding the door, suddenly blew a whistle to the two men.At this moment, another thug flew in with a punch and hit Ji Huang on the forehead, knocking him unconscious.The three of them dragged Ji Huang out of the door and into the elevator, Rainbow and Dong Lin chased after them at a fast pace, and chased them to the lobby, only to see them drag Ji Huang into a van and drive away.

Rainbow's legs went limp, and she sat down on the ground.She grabbed Dong Lin and shouted, "Where's the car? Where's your car? Go and chase Ji Huang back!"

"I have to go to Qin Wei first." Dong Lin said, "I didn't drive, the car belongs to Qin Wei, and he has the key."

They hurried back to the private room and pulled Qin Wei who was lying on the ground up.He was bleeding all over his face, one eye was swollen high, and his smart suit was stained with blood and drinks.

"Are you injured?" Dong Lin asked while supporting him.

"..." Qin Wei's throat gurgled a few times, probably because he was in too much pain, so he didn't answer.

"Let me help you wash your face first." Dong Lin sighed.

Rainbow hurriedly stopped him: "There is no time, Ji Huang is still in their hands!"

"They won't hurt Ji Huang." Dong Lin looked at her with a strange expression, "Take him away probably because he is afraid of Qin Wei's revenge."

"Then you call your brother and ask him to release Ji Huang. He is innocent at all!" Rainbow handed him his mobile phone.

Dong Lin hesitated for a moment.

"It's better to go to Teacher Ji first," Qin Wei said suddenly, "Take my car."

Apart from his face, Qin Wei's injuries were not serious. There must have been flesh injuries, but no muscle or bone injuries.Dong Lin helped him a few times while walking, and then he was able to walk by himself.

Those two thugs made a lot of noise, but in fact they were careful in their actions.Rainbow quietly thought again, Qin Wei pays so much attention to his image, and likes to put on a show and pomp so much, it may take a few months for the wound on his face to heal, right?Do serious places need plastic surgery?With the power of the Qin family and Qin Wei's gloomy temperament, I'm afraid he won't let it go, right?

Dong Lin was driving, and Rainbow and Qin Wei were sitting side by side in the back seat.

Before going out, Rainbow took a frozen soda can and handed it to Qin Wei: "Use it to apply, otherwise it will swell even more."

Qin Wei took it and pressed it on his face, gritting his teeth in pain.

In his life, he probably rarely encountered such embarrassing things, right?Rainbow secretly thought in his heart that Qin Wei, who has always been proud, glamorous, picky and difficult to serve, actually has funny moments.

"What are you laughing at?" Qin Wei said.

"Me? Did I laugh?" Rainbow pointed to his nose, "You were beaten like this, and it's too late for me to feel sad for you. How could you laugh?"

"You are smiling, and you are smiling in your heart."

"Neuropathy."

"You won't be able to laugh when you find out that your teacher Ji's hamstring was broken," Qin Wei snorted coldly, "This is Su Dongyu's usual trick."

Rainbow snatched the can, threw it under his feet, raised his eyebrows, and said sharply: "What do you mean? Are you gloating? If Ji Huang hadn't helped you just now, your head would have swollen into a pig's head. Don't take kindness as a Donkey liver and lung, you deserve it! It hurts you to death!"

Qin Wei gave her a cold look, took out his cell phone, and dialed a number.

Su Donglin in the front seat suddenly turned around: "Ah Wei, turn off the phone, you don't have the same knowledge as him."

"You overestimated me." Qin Wei's face hardened, "I just want to learn as much as him."

The car slammed to a halt and turned to the side of the road. Su Donglin jumped out of the car and opened the back door: "Hang up the phone, and leave this matter to me."

"It's me," Qin Wei said, the phone was obviously connected, "Do you know Su Dongyu from the Su family?"

"Hang up the phone!" The voice became low.

"I'm on Zhongshan Road—"

Su Donglin said word by word: "Hang up the phone!"

After hesitating for a while, Qin Wei snorted and hung up the phone.

The car restarts.No one in the car spoke.

After 1 minute, the speed of the car suddenly increased, and Dong Lin said, "Their car is right ahead."

Rainbow's mood suddenly became tense: "Can you call your brother and ask him to release Ji Huang?"

"...Is that person Ji Huang?" Dong Lin pointed to a chair in the garden by the street.

There was a man sitting on a chair with his head bowed and his body bent down, not knowing what he was doing.

Can't see his face clearly, Rainbow is not sure, but she immediately recognized his shoes: "Yes, it's him, stop quickly!"

The three got out of the car and rushed towards him.When he arrived in front of him, he saw Ji Huang propped his arms forward, his shoulders raised, panting rapidly, and his lungs made a difficult roar.

"Oops, it's his asthma attack." Caihong panicked, tears welled up, and hurriedly took out his mobile phone to make an emergency call.

Su Donglin said: "It's too late, why don't we get him into the car and send him to the hospital!"

Qin Wei said: "Don't act rashly now, I'm afraid it will cause suffocation. Look in his pockets to see if there are any medicines or sprays with him."

Ji Huang's face was pale and he was in a cold sweat. Rainbow searched all over his pockets, but found nothing.The road was congested, and the ambulance didn't know when it would arrive, so I couldn't help running around in a hurry.It suddenly occurred to Ji Huang that she brought a small bag with her when she ate. She said she had brought her a book by Lacan.With the thought together, he ran back to the car to find the small bag, and sure enough, he found a Chuankangsu spray from inside, glanced at the usage, stuffed the nozzle into Ji Huang's mouth, and sprayed it vigorously.Fearing that the dose was not enough, she sprayed it again.

After a while, Ji Huang's panting gradually calmed down.At some point in time, a group of onlookers had already stood in front of him.

"A gang fight?" asked a young man.

Rainbow straightened her waist and saw Qin Wei's eyes were black and blood was still wet on his face.Su Donglin's ear was cut, and there was blood all over his wrist and arm.In comparison, Ji Huang is fairly clean, except that his shirt is torn, a few buttons are missing, and his face is also bruised.

After sitting for another 5 minutes and inhaling the spray several times in a row, Ji Huang stood up and followed Dong Lin into the car.His breathing was still a little short, and he probably had severe chest tightness. Rainbow hurriedly opened the car window and let his head lean against the window.

"Where does he live?" Dong Lin asked, "Should he go to the hospital or go home?"

"Not going to the hospital," Ji Huang said, "I'm fine."

"Then I'll take you home."

"His home is on Huinan Road." Rainbow said.

"Huinan Road? That street is under construction today, and it's very congested." With a turn of the steering wheel, the car turned into another street, and Dong Lin said, "It's quite close to where I live, why don't you go to my house to rest first? The wound on Wei's face also needs to be dealt with as soon as possible."

No one objected, and the car slid into the parking lot on the ground floor of a building.After getting off the car and taking the elevator to the sixteenth floor, Donglin opened the door of an apartment.

Counting that Caihong and Donglin have been friends for five or six years, Caihong has never been to Donglin's home, neither has he been to the old house belonging to Donglin's parents located in Longyin Villa in the old district in the south of the city, nor has he ever been to Donglin's house. I have been to Donglin's own apartment in the downtown area.

During his four years in college, Dong Lin lived in the same dormitory as all college students, and he seemed to like the environment of the dormitory very much.I heard later that he moved a lot, from one apartment to another, and described himself as a tribe of urban nomads.Donglin is very picky about housing, no place is so perfect that he still likes it after living in it for two years.He knew every entertainment venue, every movie theater, every dance hall, and all the high-end restaurants and clubs in the city.After work, I often play until midnight before going home, leading a happy single life.Although everyone knows that Mr. Su is very rich, they don't know how much money he has, such as what kind of house he lives in, how many cars he has, how much savings he has, how much he earns a year, and so on.In personal life, Su Donglin seldom gives outsiders the chance to gossip.

That building undoubtedly belongs to the high-end residential area of ​​the city, but Donglin's apartment is not as luxurious as Rainbow imagined.It is a very ordinary three-bedroom and two-living room, each room is very spacious, the living room is surprisingly large, and the decoration is very avant-garde.The open kitchen is covered with colorful granite countertops.A huge black-and-white photo was posted on the large wall at the entrance, which turned out to be Marilyn Monroe.

Then, Rainbow discovered that Donglin seemed to like Monroe very much, and there was also a row of stills of Monroe in various periods posted on the wall at the corner.Looking at the charming eyes of this former Hollywood superstar, she was slightly puzzled, because Dong Lin never mentioned her.

Asthma patients can't lie down, Rainbow asked Ji Huang to sit on the sofa in the bedroom and told him to close his eyes and rest.

"I'm much better now." Ji Huang said.

"They—I mean, the people in the car didn't torture you, did they?" Caihong took a few band-aids from Donglin's hand, and wiped the wound on his arm with alcohol.

"No." Ji Huang said, "It's probably scary to see me out of breath. He thought I was going to die, so he stopped and let me go."

Seeing Donglin leave, Ji Huang said again: "Your friend should be a serious businessman, right? How did he get involved in the underworld?"

"Where is the underworld?" Rainbow smiled wryly, "That person is Su Dongyu, Donglin's elder brother. I guess he had a grudge against Qin Wei in the past—who can tell about business matters?"

"Nobody hurt you, did they?" he asked, looking carefully at Rainbow.

"No." Caihong breathed a sigh of relief, "I hope you still have the money you earned from playing golf, otherwise we will lose a lot today! Donglin is a troublemaker, so add Qin Wei, oh my god!"

Ji Huang blinked: "I've already paid for the meal, I paid it early."

"Did you pay?" Rainbow almost choked, "Didn't you pay after eating?"

"I was afraid they would rob me, so I paid in advance."

"How much did you pay?"

"Paid me all I earned."

"Can't you save some for yourself?" Rainbow was embarrassed, "Your family is not rich either!"

"It's agreed to be my treat. They are all your friends, how can I take their money?"

"Okay," Rainbow smiled wryly, "I understand what you mean. Rest here for a while, and I'll get you something to eat. You'll get hungry after a fight."

"Thank you, a bowl of soup will do."

Rainbow went out to the living room alone.

At this moment, Qin Wei's face had already been plastered.The door of the bathroom was wide open, and there was the sound of water. Rainbow walked in and saw Dong Lin cleaning the wound on his arm.

"Are you all right? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"No, it's just flesh wounds, not serious." Dong Lin said.

There was a picture taped to the bathroom mirror.It was a very beautiful foreign girl, and the location of the photo was almost at the same height as the rainbow's gaze.The girl had red hair and big breasts, unbelievably big.Has Dong Lin's taste changed?This is his new girlfriend?
"Hey," Rainbow pointed at the photo, "Who is this girl?"

"Christina Hendricks. (Christina Hendricks.)"

"Christina?" Rainbow said that he had never heard of this person.

"She was named the sexiest woman in the world by an American magazine."

"Oh."

"You know, every guy who tries to strike up a conversation with her is trying to get a glimpse of her boobs."

Rainbow glared at him: "You...know her?"

"I don't know," Dong Lin said, "I just want to practice."

"Practice?"

"When I brush my teeth every day, I will pretend to talk to her, ask her if she has eaten, what color she likes most, and can I buy her a cup of coffee."

"Your purpose is—"

"I stared at her face to make her think I was being sincere, but I just wanted to train my gaze."

"Training your gaze?"

"When talking to a beautiful woman, I'll pretend to look into her face and see her breasts at the same time."

"Ah! It's hard to do that!"

"So you need to train."

"Hey, what do you mean?" Rainbow quickly covered her chest.

"What are you covering?" Dong Lin smiled, "I see you, do I still need to train?"

Rainbow gave him a hard look: "Do you know that I lost my virginity verbally because of you today?"

"Really?" Su Donglin said narrowly, "Why did you lose your virginity?"

"There is something I didn't tell you. Guo Lili asked me to find out about your situation."

"what's the situation?"

"Your sexual orientation."

"She thinks there's something wrong with my sexual orientation?"

"Of course it's okay," Rainbow said, "but she chased after her so hard that she even asked us... if that's the case."

"Shameless! Despicable!" Dong Lin pouted, paused, and asked again, "Then how did you answer?"

"I said we did."

"Oh!"

"What the hell is your name?"

"You just answer when she asks you, you are an idiot!" Su Donglin was furious, "Why don't you just do your best to prove my sexual orientation and marry me."

"Don't take advantage of it and beat others, I helped you." Rainbow said, "Is it safer for you to have something with someone like me than to have something with someone else? Guo Lili's lace mouth, The message will be sent to your parents in a second. Well, tell me, what is the purpose of Lily looking for me? What happened between you and Dongyu?"

Su Donglin lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "Dongyu's investment has not been going well recently, and he hit the financial crisis again, and several large sums of money were wasted. My mother loves money, and my father blamed him for his incompetence, and got angry at him several times. He didn't even give him money for emergency. Dongyu was so anxious that he had to find foreign aid. Recently, he heard that he was very close to the daughter of a real estate tycoon. Lily was afraid that he would divorce her for money, so she was looking for a way to save him. Be careful with this woman. It was normal before she gave birth to a son. After giving birth to a son, I feel that someone is going to steal her inheritance every day. My parents have always been a bit biased, and my brother is sensitive. Lily has a lot of opinions on them. Anyway, the house is so chaotic that even I don’t want to go back. Rainbow, remember to stay away from her, this woman is not simple. Dongyu must have miscalculated if he wanted to trick her. If she comes to you, if it proves that I live a bad life, immediately Post a message to my dad. When my dad gets angry, he will naturally change his mind and leave the money to the boss. If it is confirmed that you and I are in love, she will be happy. First, you are basically a fool to her. Everything is easy to handle. Second, never You can still inquire about a lot of things about me, but it's not so easy for someone else."

"I, why am I such a fool?" Rainbow gasped, "My education is much higher than hers."

"You have a low EQ, okay?"

"Why is my EQ low?"

"You don't want a diamond boss by your side, go find a university teacher who works everywhere..." Su Donglin smiled, "What are you going against, but you want to go against the laws of society."

"Okay, I won't go against the laws of society. How about it," she looked at her watch, "The Civil Affairs Bureau must still be open, let's go, let's get a marriage certificate!"

Su Donglin covered her mouth: "Miss! You kill me!"

Rainbow sighed, and looked quietly: "Donglin, when will you be real?" Seeing him muttering for a long time, speechless, he patted his shoulder again: "Okay, I won't embarrass you anymore. Ji Huang said he wanted some soup, so hurry up and make a bowl."

02
Regardless of her ordinary family background, Rainbow’s princess has a really serious temper: she has never cooked, washed, or cleaned the toilet since she was a child, and she hasn’t even folded the quilt on her own bed a few times. At most, she helps her mother. Picking vegetables, sweeping the floor, wiping the table, and often being ordered to go back to work for not cleaning up.This is only because Li Mingzhu's obsession with cleanliness has reached a heinous level, and everyone in the family suffers from it: the glass on the window sill must be bright, the floor must be spotless, the gaps in the bathroom tiles must be white, and the dishes that have been washed must be white. It has to be dry, the sheets are changed every Monday, the mirror is wiped every other day... these are small things.The big project was all spread over the head of He Dalu, who made him the only man in the family?He Dalu has to clean the range hood every weekend, and then use a wire brush to brush the greasy dirt on the stove tiles.One morning passed like this.If He Dalu couldn't do it with a sports car, Li Mingzhu would roll up his sleeves, and if he couldn't bear to buy cleaning agent, he would use alkali, strong alkali.

Whenever Rainbow wanted to fight for his father, He Dalu would smoke while saying, "Chongqing, listen to what Dad said, about cleaning, no matter how absurd your mother's ideas are, never argue with her."

Before he finished digesting these words, He Dalu continued to add: "Remember, this is a wise saying. All fathers will pass it on to their children as a secret: No matter how absurd and unbelievable what your mother said, never, never talk to her. Noisy. Because she raised you. Period."

Because she raised you.period.

There's another reason Rainbow doesn't stir fry.Rainbows have a "gas phobia" - if that's even a phobia.She was particularly afraid of bomb-shaped gas canisters and of lighting gas with matches.One day when Rainbow was six years old, there was an explosion downstairs, which not only shattered the glass of the window, but also ignited a fire.Rainbow thought the house was going to collapse, and ran downstairs in fright, just in time for the neighbors who came to put out the fire to carry out the homeowner who had been burned beyond recognition.It was Grandma Zhang on the sixth floor who ignited the gas without knowing that there was a leak.The old lady suffered extensive burns and passed away within a few days after being sent to the hospital.Rainbow was frightened by this, and her face changed when she saw the gas tank, so Li Mingzhu had to cover the gas tank with a colored cloth every time she cooked.

Seeing Rainbow bossing her around, Su Donglin smiled: "Weird. Do you think I will become a slave if you have a boyfriend? Do you want to make soup for him?"

"First, you invited us to your house. We are guests, and you are the host. Of course, you are here to entertain us. Second, how much soup did you drink from me when you were in the hospital? Isn't it enough to repay the favor? Third , Ji Huang helped you today, otherwise you would not know what it would be like to be beaten up by others."

Dong Lin wiped his hands with a towel, his head was as big as a bucket: "Okay, I'll go and see what's in the refrigerator."

The two went to the living room to open the refrigerator, Rainbow was dumbfounded.Is this... the bachelor's refrigerator?It was empty, except for a few bottles of beer, a few cans of drinks, a few boxes of chocolates, and a box of biscuits, there was nothing in it.After searching inside and out for a long time, I couldn't find even a green onion.

"Ask Ji Huang, is it okay to drink beer?" Su Donglin said.

"No, he said he wants to drink soup, so he has to make soup." Rainbow insisted.

"I've never made soup before."

"Neither have I."

"How about the soup?"

"how could I know?"

"Maybe Qin Wei knows." Dong Lin looked at Qin Wei who was sulking on the sofa.

He used to whisper a few words into Qin Wei's ear, Qin Wei stood up and looked for his mobile phone: "Why don't you order takeaway, did he say what kind of soup he wants to drink?"

Rainbow said: "Let's do it yourself, clean it up. Ji Huang has asthma, and some ingredients can't be touched. It will be troublesome if he gets sick again."

Qin Wei thought for a while and said, "I'll go and see what's in my refrigerator."

He went out, and took an egg, a bag of seaweed, and a piece of butter after a while.

Rainbow was stunned: "So fast? You live here too?"

"Yes, I live at the opposite door."

After all, he went straight to the kitchen.He found a bowl, cracked eggs into it, took out a pair of chopsticks, and stirred them skillfully.Immediately after the hot pan was oiled, a bowl of hot and fragrant seaweed egg drop soup was made in a short time.

In an instant, Rainbow's impression of Qin Wei changed.

"Thank you." Rainbow took the bowl and smelled it gratefully, "It's so fragrant!"

Pushing the door open, Ji Huang was already awake.

"Have some soup."

The soup was very hot, so she blew it lightly with her hands, and stirred it a few times with a spoon to dissipate the heat.

He took it with a smile and drank it slowly with a spoon.

"Is it better?" She sat down next to him, and seeing that his hair was a little messy, she stroked it for him.

"It's all right," he said.

"On the road just now, I was really scared." She whispered, "It's all my fault, I really shouldn't have asked you to help Donglin!"

"It's ok."

"Then let me go home with you later," Rainbow said stickily, "I have to send you all the way home so I can rest assured."

Ji Huang looked at his watch: "I'm sorry, I have to work a late shift at night. It's almost time, I have to leave after drinking this soup."

"Are you going to that restaurant?"

"Ah."

"Can't you take a leave? Tell your boss that you are sick."

"It's not very good. They can't find a replacement for temporary leave." He took the last sip and stood up. "Don't worry, the late shift is not tired. They are all here to drink, and there are very few people eating."

"Then I will accompany you too." Rainbow found his backpack and packed it up. "I'll find a seat in the cafe next door to correct the papers. Let's go together after you get off work."

Didn't expect her to be like this, Ji Huang's expression was a bit embarrassed.After thinking for a while, he put her palm into his own, shook it, and said seriously: "Thank you, thank you for caring about me. I will be late from get off work, and I am worried about you waiting outside alone. After all this scare, you need to rest too."

Rainbow wanted to laugh, but couldn't laugh seeing him so solemn.What era are these expressions?So serious, as if a national treasure was handed over to her.

"Okay, I won't make things difficult for you." Rainbow nodded generously.

After bidding farewell to Su Donglin and Qin Wei, Rainbow took a taxi to take Ji Huang to the Garden Hotel on Huidong Street, and then stopped at Han Qing's apartment.

She called Han Qing early in the morning and told her to bring her resume to see Qin Wei.Han Qing told her that Xia Feng was not at home, and that he took Duoduo back to the countryside to visit relatives in the past two days.

Welcoming Rainbow into the door and letting her sit on the sofa, Han Qing handed her a bowl of stewed red dates and lotus seeds.

Caihong found that she wore a very high bun today, her forehead was bald, her hair was glued in place, and there was still a faint smell of perfume on her body.She had light makeup on her face, eyebrows and eyeliner, and a trace of lipstick on her lips.In fact, Han Qing is very good-looking, but her eyebrows and eyes are too pale, and she needs a little makeup to decorate her.Rainbow's mother even said that in ancient times, Han Qing would be a great beauty.Because she looks like the movie star Chen Hong, but her eyes are not so big, her mouth is not so plump, but her face is like a full moon and her earlobes are deep, which is a standard blessing.Moreover, the corners of her mouth are slightly upturned, and she always smiles, giving people a friendly impression when they meet, even people who don't like her can hardly hate her.

"How was the interview?" Rainbow asked.

"It went well." Han Qing said, "Notify me that I will go to work tomorrow. Rainbow, I really want to thank you very much!"

"What about the salary? It shouldn't be too little, right?"

Han Qing said a number, and Rainbow was startled: "Hey! It's several times mine! This Qin Wei really prints money. If I knew it, I would have gone there too. What are you doing reading this Dr. Lao Shizi!"

"The person who recruited me said that I must be busy at work. Because I often travel with President Qin, but the subsidy is also very high."

"Can you handle it?" Rainbow worried, "This Qin always has a background in finance."

"Did you forget that I have a double degree in Chinese and economics? I took economics courses in college, and I got [-]% in calculus, probability and statistics. My father forced me to take this degree because I was afraid of Chinese. It’s hard to find a job after I graduated from the department. In fact, I don’t like finance very much, and I like literature more.”

"Yes, yes, look at how confused I am, I forgot to tell him this. I thought they just wanted an administrative secretary who also wrote official documents to arrange schedules and prepare for meetings. By the way, what's Xia Feng's opinion? Does he agree with you to go? "

"I told him. He didn't quite agree, nor did he firmly oppose it." Han Qing's eyes dimmed, "He said that he had been applying for jobs everywhere during this time, and if I went to work immediately, he would have to take care of the children at home and do housework , can’t concentrate on looking for a job. He asked me if I could delay it and see how he’s looking for a job. I thought about it for a long time, and I think you’re right. Now is a critical moment. If there is a chance, let me earn money to save this Home, for the sake of Duoduo, I can't shrink back. I don't want to miss this opportunity, so I don't agree, I must go to work. He was very angry and quarreled with me desperately."

Rainbow shivered unknowingly: "You won't do it again, will you?"

"No, it's just that her face is ugly. Do you know, Rainbow," she sighed suddenly, "I went shopping a few days ago, and I passed by a clothing store. There was a huge mirror at the door. I stood in front of that mirror. After standing there for a long time, I don’t even know who the person in the mirror is.”

Rainbow holds its breath.

"The hair is dry, the eye sockets are black, the corners of the mouth are drooping, the skin is dry, and the whole face is drooping into a bitter look. To be honest, I don't want to admit that person is me. I know what I looked like when I was 17 and what I looked like when I was 20." , The change is too great, I am really not reconciled. Xia Feng said that I am selfish, am I selfish? If he is looking for a job, it is to fight for the future of the family, and all people should sacrifice themselves to support him. If If I were looking for a job, it was also for this family. How could it be selfish? Would it be unwilling to sacrifice? I really don’t understand his logic!"

"Don't blame yourself too much. If you want to work and you can work, Xia Feng should support you." Caihong said, "Has he confessed to you about resigning?"

"Not yet." Han Qing's eye circles turned red unconsciously, "Rainbow, it's really sad that things have come to this point. It's not that he lost his job, but that he doesn't trust me and refuses to take this matter to heart. tell me."

Rainbow held her hand, and said softly: "Don't think so. It's hard to explain this kind of thing to any man, and he is also very uncomfortable. Give him more time. Also, the students now After the exam, I'm not so busy. If you have something urgent, such as Xia Feng is going to apply for a job, and there is no one to bring it, just leave it to me."

"Thank you. Duoduo, I plan to send him to the kindergarten. I am a little younger, and I am reluctant, but after all, the teachers in the kindergarten are professionally trained, so I am more at ease than Xia Fengdai. Besides, he is in a bad mood now, and he is also at home. He always vents his anger on his son. Duoduo is afraid when he sees him."

"Which kindergarten is it? Near your house?"

"You forgot, there is a kindergarten affiliated to our university." Han Qing said, "I went to see it today, the facilities are very good, and it is a designated practice unit for several kindergarten teachers. Two experienced aunts lead the kindergarten class , there are many young teachers doing internships there. The teachers are rich and the environment is safe. The price is a bit expensive, but there are many activities and three meals are included. I am very satisfied. I didn’t dare to think about it before, but now I can afford it when I have a salary gone."

Caihong clapped his hands and said, "Look, people who work are different, they speak hard!"

"I really want to thank you very much, Rainbow." Han Qing said sincerely, "Without you, I would definitely not be able to apply for this position. When I get paid, I must invite you well!"

"Okay, okay, which one of us is with whom. By the way, this soup is so delicious, why don't you do me a favor now?"

Han Qing was surprised and said, "What can I help you with? Tell me."

"Teach me how to make soup," Rainbow salivated and leaned forward, "Teach me step by step, I want to learn how to be a good woman."

"Ah—" Han Qing took a deep breath, "You girl, are you in love?"

"It's open, it's all in full bloom, hurry up, it's too late to watch the good show."

"Falling in love?"

"whee."

"Not Su Donglin?"

"You know me best, how could it be him?" Rainbow said, "Would I be so excited if it was him?"

"Who is that? Do I know him?"

"A new young teacher in the department, he is very handsome."

"Must be very talented?"

"You're so talented, it surpasses me."

"Ah! You damn girl, you only tell me the good news now!" Han Qing tried to pinch her, but Rainbow hurriedly dodged, "Isn't it too late to learn stew now?"

"With my intelligence and your experience, no problem!"

"Okay, let's start with the simple ones and come to the kitchen."

Han Qing took out the soaked lotus seeds from the refrigerator, lit it on fire, and said: "It is best to add bird's nest to this soup of red dates and lotus seeds, which is most effective in preventing cancer, lowering blood pressure, calming the nerves and nourishing. According to the old method, it is best to steam it." Eat it, but it’s the same if you simmer it over low heat, remember to add rock sugar.”

Rainbow asked: "How long will this be stewed?"

"Three hours."

"Oh, I can't wait, it's too late, I'm going home soon."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter," Han Qing said, "There are not many pots here. I happen to have a thermos pot, and I will put a pot back for you. After returning home, I will learn to stew slowly. The heat should be low and the time should be long. This The red dates are average, but the rare lotus seeds are good, given by relatives of Xia Feng's family, peeled and dried by hand, without any additives, and they are very fragrant when boiled."

You don't have to be polite, old friend, Caihong happily brought the can of lotus seed soup back home.Seeing that her mother Li Mingzhu had fallen asleep, she sneaked into the kitchen and poured the lotus seed soup into a small pot. She remembered that Donglin had sent a box of high-quality bird’s nest during the Chinese New Year, saying it was for Li Mingzhu’s body. Li Mingzhu was reluctant to eat it and kept putting it away with.Rainbow No matter Sanqi 21 stole a piece from the refrigerator, soaked it in mineral water and put it into the pot.The half-person-high gas tank stood darkly beside him. Rainbow glanced at it, his heart was beating wildly, and he almost wanted to run away.Remembering that the gas stove is electronically ignited, I feel relieved.Immediately, he closed his eyes and twisted the knob with his hands, only to hear the gas hissing out, but it didn't ignite.After lighting the fire a few times, it didn't ignite. I thought, is the battery of the igniter broken?I wanted to ask my mother for help, but I was afraid that she would be paranoid.I had to find a match, strike the fire, and shake my heart, only to hear a "poof", and finally lit, and I was so scared that I was in a cold sweat.

That night, when she opened the book that Ji Huang lent her, Rainbow sat on a chair in the kitchen and waited slowly. Just turn off the fire and put the fragrant soup in the refrigerator.

After a night of no dreams, when I woke up in the morning, the smell of red dates and lotus seeds filled the room.Rainbow, a carp, straightened up, jumped up from the bed and ran to the living room.

On the table, Li Mingzhu and He Dalu were eating steamed buns with fermented bean curd.There were three bowls of lotus seed soup on the table, which she boiled last night.

"Are you up?" He Dalu said, "Yesterday you came home really late."

"Dining with Donglin." Rainbow groaned inwardly, and sat down at the table listlessly.

She knew that as long as she mentioned being with Dong Lin, the two elders would immediately express their acquiescence in silence, and if they met other men and didn't come home at nine o'clock in the evening, Li Mingzhu would blow up her phone.

Li Mingzhu patted her daughter's head affectionately: "My girl is so filial, she actually knows how to cook soup for her parents. Do you know that when my parents wake up early in the morning and see the soup in the refrigerator, don't mention how beautiful it is!"

The two not-so-old faces smiled at her together, making Rainbow feel ashamed secretly.

"Does it taste good?" she asked quickly.

"Okay, great. The soup made by my daughter is sweet even if it is bitter." In order to praise her, He Dalu drank the soup in the bowl and gave her an empty bottom of the bowl.

"Then I'll make more for you to drink in the future." Rainbow took a big mouthful of steamed buns and poured his own bowl back into the thermos. "I'll take this to school to drink. It can refresh me when I'm tired of homework at noon."

"My sweetheart," Li Mingzhu said with a smile on his face, "you didn't say it earlier, it's not difficult to make soup, and I'll make you a portion in the evening so that you can have soup every day."

"Mom, don't worry about it, I can do it myself."

"Mom is happy. Aunt Li from Building 47 told me a nourishing and beautifying prescription the day before yesterday. Mom doesn't need this old face. If you are young, you should start to take care of it early, so that your face will not be full when you are young. folds."

Caihong looked at her, felt that the words were nonsensical, and felt that it was better to speak less. She immediately smiled, packed her schoolbag silently, washed up, took the lunch from her mother, and happily went to school.
