Ruan Jiujiu was woken up when he was in a drowsy sleep.
The phone rang repeatedly, making her head ache. She squinted her eyes half-drowsily, groped her hands on the soft quilt, and reached for the bedside table with difficulty, her fingers touched the glass, almost knocking over the glass, and finally caught the culprit.
Ruan Jiujiu answered the phone without looking at the caller ID: "Hello?" She asked lazily.
"Jiujiu, come quickly, your father-in-law is dying soon!"
Father-in-law? She is also a eunuch!
The long-lost voice was so out of breath, Ruan Jiujiu thought for a long time before he remembered that there was such a person as Qu Wei. It also reminded her that she was a daughter-in-law with parents-in-law. Through the phone, Qu Wei cried and said, "He was taken to the emergency department suddenly, and the doctor said he won't live long, so come and see him for the last time!"
Qu Wei's words were slurred because of her crying, Ruan Jiujiu suddenly opened her eyes, and subconsciously rolled over and sat up.
The first thing she thought of was, does Cheng Juan still know
Ruan Jiujiu hung up the phone and opened the door with big strides. Cheng Juan was rummaging through the refrigerator, not knowing what he was looking for, and immediately closed it the moment Ruan Jiujiu pushed the door. Ruan Jiujiu walked forward quickly, and even Cheng Juan realized that something was wrong with her.
Cheng Juan asked, "What's wrong?"
Ruan Jiujiu's tone paused. She looked at Cheng Juan, tried her best to speak calmly, and said, "Qu Wei called me and said, Uncle, maybe, it's not working."
"..."
Cheng Juan stood there silently, with no expression on his face, a pair of slender sleeping phoenix eyes half drooping, without any ups and downs. He unscrewed the Yakult in his hand and said, "She's harassing you again."
Qu Wei is also good at picking soft persimmons. If she called Cheng Juan, Cheng Juan would only hang up the phone the moment he heard her voice.
Ruan Jiujiu pursed his lips and said, "You make your own decision, no matter what choice you make, I will support it."
She didn't know anything about Cheng Juan's parents at all, and she couldn't know what excessive things Cheng Juan's father had done. Whether Cheng Juan went to visit or not, he had his own reasons. Anyone who used the name of family affection was moral kidnapping.
Not all grievances and grievances can be cleared up with a sentence of "unerasable blood relationship".
As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Juan looked at her and was silent for a moment.
In Ruan Jiujiu's mind, Cheng Juan had become Cheng Xiaopian. She silently looked at him with tender eyes and gave him strength.
The two looked at each other, and this moment seemed like eternity.
Cheng Juan seemed to be still in deep thought, and finally said: "Then I want to eat dumplings in the morning."
Ruan Jiujiu: "...Ah?!" He wasn't talking about his father, why did he suddenly abduct him, and there was no trace, very natural? !
Cheng Juan was blunt and strong, and spoke in an infuriatingly slow pace: "Didn't you say that I support all my choices?"
Ruan Jiujiu: "..."
If you talk about a good topic, you will go astray.
"You still want to eat dumplings in the morning? Why don't you eat wontons? Do you want to add a side dish?"
Cheng Juan: "Sounds pretty good..."
Ruan Jiujiu responded with a death stare.
…
Cheng Juan was as quiet as a chicken after being hammered.
There are no dumplings for breakfast. Recently, I have gradually gotten used to a healthy diet. There are only various healthy ingredients in the refrigerator, and I try to replace meat with chicken and fish that are not easy to gain weight, and a small amount of beef. Ruan Jiujiu is very satisfied with their diet.
What should I eat in the morning, of course I have to eat something nutritious.
Whole wheat bread with a purple potato and milk cereal constitutes the best nutritious breakfast.
Cheng Juan took a few bites of the tasteless whole-wheat bread to him, and heaved a long sigh. Ruan Jiujiu sat across the dining table and ate small tomatoes one by one, happily adapting to such a healthy life. She supervised the whole process: "Finish everything, no leftovers allowed."
Cheng Juan's face was full of sadness.
Cheng Juan stopped talking about Cheng's father, and Ruan Jiujiu didn't want to ask too much. Since the person involved doesn't care, she, a daughter-in-law who is not considered a daughter-in-law, just needs to be a good wife.
The two sat in the car, each having their own concerns.
"Ding ding dong dong..."
Ruan Jiujiu's cell phone rang again, she picked up the phone, and there was an unfamiliar number on it, it was Qu Wei. I guess I waited for a long time, but I didn't wait for the news, so I was in a hurry. Ruan Jiujiu glanced at Cheng Juan, and Cheng Juan who was sitting beside her moved faster than her, picked up Ruan Jiujiu's phone, hung up the phone, and shut down the phone.
Ruan Jiujiu was dumbfounded.
Cheng Juan returned the phone to her, and said softly, "Don't worry about it. Turn it on again later."
"Oh well."
Ruan Jiujiu took back his phone, and the car returned to a quiet atmosphere.
She took a furtive glance at Cheng Juan. Cheng Juan was looking at the scenery outside the window, with his elbow resting on the edge of the window, looking lost in thought. Today, he is more silent than usual, probably, Cheng Juan is also a little sad.
It's hard for him to pretend nothing happened all morning.
Ruan Jiujiu's heart softened, she pursed her lips tightly, just as she was about to say something.
Cheng Juan looked out the window, his eyelids drooped, and his eyelashes were long and thick. His lips were pale, and he sighed softly: "The whole wheat bread is really terrible."
Ruan Jiujiu stretched out half of his hand: "..."
She, Ruan Jiujiu, is really crazy to believe that Cheng Juan has serious moments!
As soon as he entered the company, he happened to meet Tu Nan surrounding the secretary like a pug. How could he have said such silly things as giving the little secretary a chance, women chasing after men's gauze. Ruan Jiujiu couldn't laugh or cry, pretended not to see it, and went back to his office silently.
Turn on the computer and stare at the sketch in a daze.
Although Qu Wei is stupid, she is also a scheming woman, Ruan Jiujiu really doesn't want her to make trouble in other names.
The sketch was painted and painted, but it never took shape. Ruan Jiujiu sat on the chair in a daze. It seems that since she came to this world, Cheng Juan has never mentioned anything about her mother, except for this house and Qu Wei's few words, Ruan Jiujiu suddenly realized that she also didn't know much about Cheng Juan's past.
"Oh..." She couldn't help but let out a sigh.
How could the intimate strangeness make her feel a little awkward
The phone buzzed, and Cheng Juan's message was displayed on the screen.
Cheng Juan: What are you doing
Sitting in the office, Cheng Juan was already thinking about going to eat Korean barbecue tonight. But whether you can eat barbecue or not has to be reviewed by Ruan Jiujiu. In the eyes of others, Cheng Juan lowered his head and stared at the phone intently, with a solemn expression, as if he was talking about hundreds of millions of orders.
Fu Zicheng, who was putting on the PPT with the tablet, stuttered, and looked at Cheng Juan hesitantly, wondering if he should continue talking.
Cheng Juan glanced at him from the corner of his eye and told him to continue.
Fu Zicheng: The boss must be discussing a very important business! I have to behave!
Others in the conference room: Has the company encountered a major crisis! Why is the boss's face so serious!
The entire conference room was full of panic, secretly speculating what happened to Cheng Juan, which caused his expression to be so serious. Cheng Juan was like an examinee waiting for the results of the college entrance examination to be released, with his waist straightened, waiting for Ruan Jiujiu's answer.
After a while, Ruan Jiujiu replied.
Ruan Jiujiu: Fadia.
Cheng Juan: "?"
Cheng Juan stood up suddenly, motioned to Fu Zicheng for him to continue, and walked out the door quickly. Fu Zicheng couldn't hide his nervousness and asked Tu Nan in a low voice: "I didn't say anything wrong. Is it because I didn't behave well today?"
Tu Nan, who was called out, came back to his senses.
Sitting opposite him was the secretary who was recording the contents of the meeting. He looked conscientious and only cared about his family, the country and the world, not about his children's love. This made Tu Nan extremely frustrated.
Tu Nan asked dully, "What did you say?"
Fu Zicheng: "..."
really! Is it because he performed too badly today!
After Ruan Jiujiu returned the message, she continued to stare at the computer in a daze. After waiting for a while before Cheng Juan's reply, she picked up the phone by accident, but saw two large characters displayed on the phone: Fadia.
Ruan Jiujiu:! ! !
Didn't she reply in a daze? It's all the fault of the twenty-six-key input method!
She was about to explain when the office door was suddenly pushed open. Boss Cheng was holding the phone, with a stern expression as if he was about to go bankrupt, as if he was wearing a green hat: "Why are you flirting? Who are you flirting for? What are you flirting for?"
Ruan Jiujiu: "... Did you react too excitedly. I just accidentally made a typo."
Cheng Juan: "Oh."
"Could it be that you came here for such a trivial matter? Oh no, aren't you in a meeting?"
Cheng Juan copied his pocket with one hand, his eyes wandered, and his aura disappeared in an instant. He said: "The company is in a meeting to decide on the next project, and Fu Zicheng is in charge. Also... I have basically learned the important content. I will continue the discussion when I go back. When the discussion is over, we will go to eat Korean barbecue. We have an early rest today and tomorrow. There is important work to be done...”
Ruan Jiujiu was dumbfounded when Cheng Juan said a word without panting.
"Wait! What did you say in the last half of your sentence?"
Cheng Juan paused, then continued to say lightly, "We'll go to bed early today..."
"No, the previous sentence."
Cheng Juan: "I'm going to the meeting first."
"No barbecue?"
"No barbecue." Cheng Juan was as obedient as a primary school student.
Ruan Jiujiu looked at him standing there as if he was being punished, the hat of the sweater was drooping, and even the whole person was a little sleepy. Ruan Jiujiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "If you eat barbecue, you can eat barbecue."
It's not about going on a hunger strike, so I won't be able to eat nutritious and healthy meals every meal.
Cheng Juan's eyes lit up.
After working in the evening, the two arrived at the Korean barbecue restaurant. Ruan Jiujiu ordered an all-beef set meal. Under Cheng Juan's expectant gaze, he ordered two mushroom set meals, one chicken breast, one kimchi fried rice, and asked for a few extra lettuces.
Ruan Jiujiu asked sincerely, "Is there enough green vegetables?"
Cheng Juan stood up silently: "I'm going to the bathroom."
"it is good."
Ruan Jiujiu thought, after ordering so much, it would definitely be enough for two people. Don't eat too much for dinner, learn to exercise restraint.
Cheng Juan came back after a while and continued to sit in his seat. Ruan Jiujiu poured a cup of barley tea and was slowly drinking it. At this moment, two clerks came over and cheered and clapped, which surprised Ruan Jiujiu.
Ruan Jiujiu: "???"
"Congratulations, you two have become the 10,000th customer in our store, and you are lucky to win the grand prize in our store—"
Ruan Jiujiu watched helplessly as the small trolley pushed over piles of bright red meat slices, which were piled up everywhere. She looked embarrassed, and there is such a good thing
How could she know that some people would do anything to eat.
The oil gradually boiled hot, and Cheng Juan picked up a few pieces of beef and put them on, making a prickling sound, and the red pieces of meat were roasted instantly. Served with small ingredients, kimchi, rolled lettuce and served in the mouth, it is simply delicious.
The phone rang suddenly.
Ruan Jiujiu picked up the phone, and Tu Nan's name was displayed.
Tu Nan was shopping with Fu Zicheng at a loss, and Tu Nan suddenly thought that only women understand women, and maybe finding a trick with his sister-in-law would make his love life smoother.
He quickly sent a message to Ruan Jiujiu. Of course, it would be even better if he could go to his sister-in-law's house for dinner.
Fu Zicheng became excited when he heard it: "I want to eat my sister-in-law's meal too!"
It's really sleepy to send a pillow, Ruan Jiujiu quickly replied: "I'm at the barbecue restaurant with Cheng Juan, and the store sent a lot of meat, do you want to eat together?"
Tu Nan: "Give me the coordinates, we will be there soon!"
Boss Cheng, who was grilling meat, was very satisfied with his method, but he didn't know that bad news was coming.
ten minutes later.
Tu Nan: "Hey, sister-in-law, boss."
Fu Zicheng: "Hey, sister-in-law, boss."
Cheng Juan held the meat clip in one hand, and when he looked at the two of them, it was as if he was looking at a dead person.
The author has something to say: Tu Nan: Why does it feel like the boss is not happy? ? ? Is it my illusion
