CHAPTER 17

"Mom, why do you always beat my elder brother? My elder brother doesn't like to stay at home anymore." Sanxiu asked puzzled as she stood in front of the stove holding a vegetable basket.

Jin Guilan exploded immediately, and raised the feather duster as if to hit someone: "What are you talking about? I always beat him? When did I beat your mother? Your brother is so tall, do I dare to beat me!"

Sanxiu shrank her neck, not daring to speak.

Er Xi had no choice but to grab the feather duster from her hand and push her mother down in front of the iron pot.

"Let's stir fry, stir fry, don't worry about my elder brother, he has his own ideas, don't you know him after all these years?The more you force him to do something, the more he will not do it."

She was so hungry, she didn't want her mother to chase her out to find her elder brother, and she couldn't eat this meal.

"Is it okay if you don't force it!" Jin Guilan viciously picked up the spatula, shoveled a few spoonfuls into the pot, and crackled: "Your brother is eighteen, and he hasn't had a date yet! You know how to mess with those things every day. Rubbish stuff, what do you think it can do?!"

After speaking, he remembered the things Qiao Jingming had done before, and he didn't get angry.

"Did your brother let me worry about it when I was young? Just take what happened last year, do you think he did it right? So much money! If you don't want it don't. It's no good to fiddle with those broken conductors. Got it! I don't think there are so many mouths waiting to be fed at home, you have no conscience at all, brother!"

"My eldest brother has been the most obedient since he was a child..." Sanxiu muttered.

Thinking that Jin Guilan didn't hear it, who knows that her ears are sharp: "Sanxiu, what are you talking about! You just help your brother talk? Are you my own?"

"The elder brother is also your own, why not treat him better." Sanxiu still whispered.

"Why didn't I treat him well? Your father gave him such a good job, and your second brother didn't have to ask for it. How can I treat him well? You don't know how nice you are, Sister Susu. I introduced such a good girl to him your elder brother doesn't appreciate it, how can you say your mother is not!"

"I....."

"Okay, is it annoying to be arguing and arguing every day? If I were the eldest brother, I wouldn't like to stay at home." Erxi pushed her mother away and took the spatula: "Mom, go and rest, It looks like you don't even have the intention to cook anymore. Big brother has his own ideas, and besides, he's only eighteen now, so don't worry if you're in a hurry."

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, it's too late to be in a hurry when you get old!"

Jin Guilan glared at Sanxiu fiercely, and entered the room angrily.

Sanxiu sticks out her tongue, and runs to Erxi to watch her cooking.

"Sister, you can sneak a few drops of sesame oil."

"Fart! You can't smell it with your mother's dog's nose?"

Sanxiu quietly glanced at Jin Guilan who was sitting in the room sullenly: "No, just a drop or two, I can't smell it."

Without her mother's permission, Erxi didn't dare to let go, so she tapped Sanxiu on the forehead and asked her to play.

Sanxiu left the stove resentfully, wanted to enter the house, but didn't want to see her mother's long donkey face, so she went out of the courtyard and prepared to take a few laps before coming back.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he ran into the second brother who was going home.

"Second brother! Why did you come back!" Sanxiu pulled Qiao Jingshan excitedly, and pointed to the room: "Mom is angry now, I advise you not to go in, or she will nag you!"

Qiao Jingshan froze for a moment, took his sister's hand and went back the same way, out of the courtyard for a walk.

Here, Qiao Jingming, who came out of the courtyard, was about to return the electric fan and collect some money by the way. Today is considered a complete call-off.

Unexpectedly, when he walked to the entrance of the alley, he saw a familiar figure.

Su Yue looked for street signs while walking, muttering: "No. 58 Qingjiang Road... Where is No. 58..."

She searched for a long time but couldn't find any number 58, but she did find number 59, but the street signs on this street are not consecutive numbers, one row of odd numbers and one row of even numbers, and the alleys are still staggered, which made her feel dizzy up.

If you can't find his house before the sun sets, you may have to wait until tomorrow to come again, but you may not be able to meet him. If you go out to repair electrical appliances, when will she be able to eat delicious meals?.

Thinking of it this way, it is inevitable that I will be more anxious.

Which one turned around inadvertently, and saw Qiao Jingming standing at the entrance of the alley.

"Hey - Qiao Jingming?"

Su Yue was ecstatic, and the next second she met her gaze, she opened her legs and ran towards him.

The long skirt slid in mid-air with a graceful arc, gently touching the tip of her heart, trembling.

"I've been looking for you for a long time!"

With a short distance of fifty meters, Su Yue was out of breath.

She was very fast, and when she was about to bump into the tall man, she stopped the car and stopped in front of him, her happy little face smiled like a rose.

Qiao Jingming's thoughts were shattered by her running, and he even forgot the unpleasant thing just now.

This scene was inexplicably like a dream I had before, the woman was running towards him.

Just can't see the face.

And now, that face suddenly has an owner.

Conquering his strange emotions, Qiao Jingming stood up straight, and the 1.86 meter tall man had to lower his head when facing Su Yue.

"Why are you here?"

Su Yue smiled and panted, "I'm here to find you!"

Looking for him specifically?

Qiao Jingming's eyes drooped slightly, and he subconsciously replied, "It's broken again."

"what?"

After reacting, Su Yue was a little embarrassed, glanced at the electric fan in his hand, and quickly waved her hand: "No, it's not broken, I have other business with you."

After finishing speaking, he looked around and approached him: "Is it convenient to find a place to talk?"

Qiao Jingming looked at Su Yue's face cast by the light and shadowed, without saying a word, he led her into a dead end.

Su Yue looked around, coughed lightly, and went straight to the topic.

"It's still the same thing as last time. I went back and thought about it for a few days, and tried it, but I really couldn't make a difference. The food I cooked, the dog didn't want to eat...Su Yue, I just want to ask you to help me cook two meals. Not much, just noon and night."

While observing his expression, she tentatively said: "I won't let you do your work for nothing, I will give you 20 yuan a month, two meals a day, no matter what, you are not losing money, right?"

Su Yue's conditions are definitely attractive enough.

These days, the monthly wages of ordinary factory workers are generally around 15 to 50, and the intensity and time are no less than cooking.

For Qiao Jingming, who supports his family, there is absolutely no reason to refuse such a salary.

But he just looked at her and didn't speak, his black pupils were like deep pools, cold and bottomless.

Su Yue suddenly felt uncomfortable, and pursed her lips: "Well... I heard from Sister Yang that your family's conditions... Well, if you think the money is low, I can add more!"

"It's not a matter of money." He finally opened his mouth, and Mo Mei frowned slightly, "You gave me a lot."

Twenty yuan for two meals. If this was the first day he knew her, he might think she was a fool.

But... since Qiao Jingming knew her identity, she might not be too surprised even if she gave herself a hundred yuan a day.

"Then..." Su Yue was puzzled, why was he hesitating.

Or, as Sister Yang said, he is not willing to do this kind of woman's work, but aren't the chefs in charge of cooking in many factory cafeterias all men, she thinks it's okay.

Besides, it would not take a few hours for two meals a day, and it would not delay his other affairs. Under the temptation of money in front of him, as long as the offer is enough, Su Yue thinks it is unreasonable to refuse.

The night wind blew up, the sunset glow gradually dispersed, and the light in the alley gradually dimmed. Su Yue almost couldn't see Qiao Jingming's face clearly.

The less he spoke, the more uncertain she felt.

After waiting for a while, I still didn't get his answer.

Su Yue begged bitterly: "You just agree, or if you know other people who are as good at cooking as you, you can introduce one to me. Anyway, I can't do it myself, even if you don't help me, I have to find someone else..."

A foodie leaving food is like a fish leaving water...

After finishing speaking, Qiao Jingming's expression finally changed, and Su Yong was very anxious when he saw that he was hesitant to speak.

She looked at him with a begging gaze, his tangled face was reflected in her bright and clear pupils.

Looking at her clear pupils, Qiao Jingming's words of refusal were inexplicably stuck in his throat, as if a ball of cotton wool was clogging him, and he couldn't speak out for a long time.

"Sister Yang told you about my family's situation?" After talking for a long time, he came up with such a question.

Su Yue said with a smile, "Yes."

"What else did she say?"

"She said..." Thinking of Yang Xiuling's last sentence about her lover, Su Yue smiled coyly: "Actually, I didn't say anything, just saying that it would be easy to misunderstand, and it might be a bit troublesome..."

Not wanting to tell what Yang Xiuling told them about their relationship, Su Yue answered vaguely.

"You know, come back?"

His tone is flat, but if you look closely, there seems to be a playful smile hanging on the corner of his lips.
