Stop and give you a pocket watch!
Chapter 31
Humming a little tune all the way back to his yard, he took off his hat and handed it to Xiaodouzi who came out.Xiaodouzi took it and looked at the flower, his eyes lit up, but he didn't dare to talk too much. He just watched his elder brother find a good vase, fill it with clean water and put it in a conspicuous place.
That night, Yu Qingsheng received a call from Xu Shiqiu, and after putting it down, he felt refreshed. Xu Shiqiu said on the phone that he agreed to what happened last time.At the same time, he also refused the reward he had promised. Xu Shiqiu said that this matter was a favor he owed to the Bai family and had nothing to do with him.
Yu Qingsheng couldn't understand, but the matter was finally resolved without paying anything, so there was nothing wrong with it.
Things soon turned around. Two days later, the old man was stunned when he received a call.The caller was someone who had never been able to please him before, but now he spoke very politely, even saying that he had misunderstood, and even offered to make up for it.
Old Baitou immediately refused, he didn't dare to be greedy for this kind of pie that fell from the sky, it was already a thousand joys that the matter could be resolved, and nothing more could be expected.
After Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help being a little puzzled, and he felt bitter when he thought about it again. If he didn't guess wrong, it should be Yu Qingsheng who finally helped in this matter.
No matter what his purpose is, he has to accept this love.Although the disaster was caused by him in the first place...
Xiaobai finds it very troublesome, counting the days, school will start after the new year, his original purpose of going to school is to play with these people, but now he just feels conflicted, and the hope he used to have is gone.In addition, he found it strange that Chailin was very busy recently, and he often ran out after lunch and didn't come back until evening.
Every time he wanted to ask, seeing the tiredness on his face, he forgot again.
Xu Shiqiu has been spending a lot of time lately, and Chai Lin also wonders why this person is so thoughtful. Ever since he had glasses and tea with him that day, he has often received invitations from him, and there are always places to go. There was something to do, and when he hurried over there, he realized that things didn't seem to be particularly urgent, just eating, drinking and shopping.
"Didn't you say you want clothes for the New Year, so why come to the teahouse again?" Chai Lin stood at the door of the teahouse with his hands folded, looking at Xu Shiqiu with suspicion in his eyes.
"I'm hungry!" Xu Shiqiu looked at him confidently.
Chailin said angrily, "Didn't you just eat three pieces of pumpkin pie when you left the house, and you're hungry again before walking two steps?"
Xu Shiqiu rolled his eyes, his face didn't blush, and his heart skipped a beat: "How much effort does it take to practice daily, how can it compare with a young master like you, and you still think people eat too much? You don't want to spend your money, why are you so anxious?" .”
Chai Lin was speechless, indeed, Xu Shiqiu paid most of the expenses every time he came out, and he did not lose much money by following him, but he always felt uneasy.
Xu Shiqiu went up two flights of stairs, looked back at him, frowning, and asked, "Are you coming or not?"
Chailin had no choice but to follow upstairs.The boss left a private room on the second floor with a good view, and when Chailin looked out the window, he happened to see people hugging and fighting in a distant alley, so he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "The world is getting worse and people's hearts are not old! "
At this time, I couldn't help thinking of Xiaodouzi's time again, and said: "Recently, the city has been a bit uneasy, you go back and talk to the little brothers, don't play outside all day."
Xu Shiqiu followed his gaze and took it back, nonchalantly said: "It's okay, since the last time Dou Zi suffered a loss and came back, people are following inside and outside."
There was a hint of a smile on his lips, and he said: "I also just found out that the group of people who beat the beans that day was the same group as the people who went to your house to make trouble. Those people are just a group of local hooligans. Dare to call him Grandpa."
Chai Lin looked at him blankly holding a teacup, and said, "How do you know?"
Xu Shiqiu covered his mouth with his hands and coughed, and said, "The city is such a big place, and it's not surprising that everyone in the city knows something happened."
Chai Lin nodded and didn't care: "Yes, this matter has been going on for a long time, but I can't figure out what is going on in the Jianghu, so it's hard for you to find out clearly."
Xu Shiqiu said: "If you want to inquire about news, it's nothing more than theaters, brothels, and teahouses. There are many people coming and going, and your mouth is broken, and you can't listen to anything. It's where the police chief went to rest in the concubine yesterday, and what color he was wearing. Everyone knows about my underpants..."
Chai Lin fell headfirst on the table, he has learned a lot about this man who has no barriers in the past few days.
When returning home at night, Chai Lin hailed a car and sat all the way to the door. He was exhausted. Xu Shiqiu didn’t even ask the price when he bought things, but he was very picky. Only then can he decide, but he also has to admit that the man's vision is very unique.
In two days' time, it will be New Year's Eve, and the sealing of the boxes in the theater has already been finished, and the things are almost bought, so he can finally take a leisurely break. Before parting, Xu Shiqiu suddenly called him to stop, and stuffed a box into his hand, He smiled and said, "I'm afraid it will be a long time since I disappeared. Here's to you. Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year!" He was stunned, the New Year hadn't arrived yet, but this man's smile was like melting winter snow, which was irresistible.
Inside the box is a small and exquisite pocket watch and a thin gold watch chain. It was not bought today, nor is it something I have seen together in the past few days. I don’t know when he prepared it, so it is so precious.
Chai Lin was a little hesitant, and couldn't help but think of the gift he gave him. After the glasses were fitted, he never saw him wearing them once. The gift in return was so expensive, so how could he accept it? We agreed not to meet each other in the next few days, Baba went Returning it seems petty, why not wait until the New Year's greetings to return him.
After arriving home, as usual, it was past dinner time, but he had already eaten outside, so he didn't care about it, so he went upstairs, and when he opened the door, he saw Xiaobai lying on the bed. Feigning sleep on the sofa, there was a pile of dishes on the table, all covered, he couldn't help but be taken aback.
Hearing the movement, Xiaobai opened his eyes to see, turned up from the sofa, and said dissatisfiedly: "I don't see anyone all day, where do I go crazy, and don't remember the meal? I have to read it, and someone will bring it over, and wait for it." you."
Looking at the dishes on the table, Chailin felt mixed feelings. This was the first time he left rice, but he was already full.
"I have already eaten."
Xiaobai stared at the boss immediately, and said, "What? Have you eaten? I didn't eat until you came back, but you actually ate outside!"
"That won't work. It's boring for me to eat alone, so you accompany me!"
Chai Lin smiled and said: "I really can't eat anymore, how about I sit on the side and eat with you."
"No! You see that I can't eat anymore, who told you to eat outside, can't the family support you?" Xiaobai muttered while taking the rice out of the basin.
Chailin frowned as he looked at the bowl full of rice on his side.
He really can't eat anymore...
But Xiaobai's appearance is obviously unwilling to compromise, one thing more is worse than one thing less, forget it.The family is still like this, why bother to make him unhappy about such a trivial matter.
"I'm going to wash my hands."
When he came out of the bathroom, Xiaobai had already eaten, he walked over, and found that there was another bowl of soup there, his face became a little bitter, and he couldn't help discussing, "Brother, I'll just have a bowl of soup. "
"No!" Xiaobai refused categorically, "I've specially ordered it for two people. You have to eat as much as you can, and you have to eat as much as you can't."
How can it be so unreasonable... Chailin secretly cursed, so he had to hold the bowl. The dinner was very rich, so it was even more painful. Halfway through the meal, he felt that it was too much, so he put down the bowl and said: "I can't eat any more, I I am full."
Xiaobai glanced at him, put down the bowl suddenly, and said angrily: "What do you mean! After all, there is nothing to do at home. I want to celebrate with you. You are just such a disappointment!"
Are you okay at home?Chai Lin was a little dizzy and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xiaobai became more and more annoyed, and sneered, "What's the matter? I saw that you were dizzy from wandering around all day. I went to ask the concierge today. I heard that you had a lot of contacts with a young master surnamed Xu. From time to time, he Sending a post to ask you out, it’s very good, you don’t even go home now, you don’t have to eat, and you don’t even know that the matter in the factory is resolved, where is your heart going!”
Only then did Chai Lin understand that he was somewhat wronged, but he felt uncomfortable after being sternly spoken to him, and argued, "Even if I'm at home, I can't help much..."
"So why don't you just find someone else?"
Chai Lin raised his head at once, his face turned pale.Xiao Bai's words were ugly, and his face was also ugly. He didn't know when he stood up, and he was looking at him aggressively.
Chai Lin was very wronged, coupled with the depression that had been suppressed in his heart for many days, he burst out all of a sudden, and said: "Anyway, there is no difference between one more and one less me in the family. If the matter hadn't been resolved, you would have noticed that I was in What do you do? When you are busy, you don’t even look at me, and when you are free, you come to criticize me. I am not your boring thing. These days, how come I have dinner at home one day, and someone in the family is thinking about me? You It's the first time I've left food for me, I'm going to be hungry once and I won't learn how to be good, if I don't eat outside, I'll come back and be disgusting!"
Xiao Bai looked at him in astonishment, trembling with anger.The matter was settled, he wanted to celebrate with Chai Lin happily, and then discuss how to deal with Yu Qingsheng's relationship. He didn't want to wait no matter how much he didn't see anyone, so he couldn't wait until he asked the people below.
As a result, he didn't come back after drinking and eating outside until this time, and dared to yell at him.
After Chai Lintong got angry, he lost his temper. In fact, he was very happy to see him save food for himself, but for some reason, the two of them rushed to this point, and he didn't want to quarrel with him at all.
So before Xiaobai lost his temper, he wanted to suppress this matter, so he stood up and said, "I'm sorry, brother, I shouldn't have said that..."
Before he could finish speaking, a small brocade box slipped out from the front of his shirt, and fell to the ground with a bang, the mechanism on the box was thrown open, and the contents inside were immediately displayed in front of the two of them.
Chai Lin was startled, and hurried to pick it up. It was intended to be returned to Xu Shiqiu, so it couldn't just be broken.
Not wanting someone to move faster than him, like lightning, Chai Lin only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and the pocket watch had already arrived in Xiao Bai's hands. He was slapped hard.
"Say, where did it come from!"
That night, Yu Qingsheng received a call from Xu Shiqiu, and after putting it down, he felt refreshed. Xu Shiqiu said on the phone that he agreed to what happened last time.At the same time, he also refused the reward he had promised.
