"The Perfect Match Wife Xiaoqiu" - Chapter 52 Awkward Life

An embarrassing thing happened on the way to Morfen's house. When a Colleague saw Xiaoqiu holding Xiaobao, he said: "Wow, the little princess is so beautiful and cute. What's her name..."? "My nickname is Xiaoxue..." Xiaoqiu answered. "As expected, the snow is really white, as beautiful as Snow White..." The Colleague praised her a few more times as usual, and after a moment of silence he said, "Look, I didn't prepare anything when I got up in the morning. I didn't even have a red envelope. These 200 yuan Buy something for Xiaoxue to eat..." As he said that, his Colleague took out the money and stuffed it into Xiaobao's pocket. Seeing this, Xiaoqiu quickly stopped and said: "How can that be done? This can't be done..." "Oh, why can't it be done? This money is for Xiaoxue, not for you. It won't be convenient for me to take it out when there are more people. , just take advantage of the convenience now..." My Colleague's words reminded me that if I take my one-year-old baby to a dinner party during the Chinese New Year, isn't it obvious that I want others to pay for the red envelope? So I quickly SMoothed things over and said, "Xiao Zhou, Xiaoxue and her grandfather have something to do today, and there is no one to take care of her at Home. There is nothing we can do. If you want to pay, you have to go out with me..." "Why don't you let me pay Xiaoxue some pocket money? "Money, then you are going out with me for the Chinese New Year, so why don't you give your children some pocket money?" the Colleague said plausibly. In desperation, I looked at Xiaoqiu and said, "Forget it, forget it, uncle is paying for Xiaoxue as new year's money, just accept it..." "Brother Chen knows better, sister-in-law, don't be polite, I'll do this I don’t have much ability, so I can only give Xiaoxue a little pocket money and buy some snacks..." At this point, Xiaoqiu said awkwardly: "Xiao Zhou, what are you talking about, you are too polite..." Actually, it's not Xiao Zhou. It's just human nature to be polite. It's just that what happened yesterday made Xiaoqiu and I lack of thinking. It's really not appropriate to have a dinner party with a one-year-old baby during the Chinese New Year. I was thinking about it and quickly said: "Xiao Zhou, you have reminded me. I am going to take Xiaobao to Morfen's house. This may not be good..." "Brother Chen, you are worrying too much. What's wrong? Everyone has wanted to see your precious daughter for a long time, but my sister-in-law refuses to bring her over every time..." of course I wasn't asking for Xiao Zhou's opinion, but telling him what I thought, so I said again: " It's still early now, so I'll send Xiaobao to my sister's place and ask her to help look after it for a while..." "Look at you, Brother Chen, you're just such a stranger. colleagues are Family members, why are you being so coy?" Xiaoqiu He also said: "It will take more than half an hour to go to my sister's house. Isn't it troublesome..." It seems that women are indeed naturally afraid of trouble. "Isn't there nothing we can do? We really can't take Xiaobao to Morfen's house..." Xiaoqiu said a little angrily: "Then let me get off the car and go to Morfen's house by yourself. I'll take Xiaobao outside. Playing..." Xiao Zhou was too embarrassed to say anything at this time, and I also had a big head. I wanted to live as usual last night, but this cowardly thing happened early in the morning. Even if I had ten more courages, I wouldn't dare to "abandon" Xiaoqiu outside and let her play alone. In desperation, I turned the steering wheel and went to my sister's house. I threw the little treasure to her. Then I stepped on the accelerator and went to Morfin's house. After all this trouble, we, who were quite early in the morning, became the last wave of guests to visit Morfin’s house. The community where Morfen's Family lives is quite bourgeois, and the decoration of the house is quite nice. I heard that her father is a contractor, and her recently divorced husband is the son-in-law. It seems that they are interested in Morfen's Family's relatively SMall assets. As soon as I arrived at Morfin's house, Morfin's mother ran out of the kitchen and said happily: "You are Manager Chen, everyone has been waiting for you for a long time..." "No, no, I'm sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road. ,..." I lied out of habit. I was thinking that no wonder the British said that everyone tells several lies every day. Xiao Qiu rolled her eyes at me, but Xiao Zhou helped me out and said helpfully: "Yes, auntie, the car broke down on the road..." "Oh, I didn't mean that, it's just that director Chen is here, I'm happy... ” These words made me sweat. I am a SMall Company employee, and I am almost being said to be a national department-level cadre. Just when I felt uncomfortable being told that, aunt Mo said again: "Our Morfin often mentions you...". ​​Refer to me often? What does this mean? If I let aunt Mo continue talking like this, my reputation in this life may be ruined. I was about to interrupt aunt Mo. aunt Mo said again: "Morfin said, if you hadn't let her go to work in your Company, I, my granddaughter, might not be able to get her back..." I thought to myself, why is this happening again? Morfin really, even if She is someone who repays every drop of kindness, so she doesn’t talk about it everywhere. I quickly interrupted and said, "auntie, Morfin is so SMart and capable, but he can’t find a job..." A group of colleagues also took the opportunity to make a fuss. : "Yes, yes, Morfin is serious about her work. With her here, our work has become much easier, and she often invites us to dinner. It's not too late for us to be happy that we can be colleagues with Morfin, don't you think so? , Haha..." Everyone laughed for a while, and aunt Mo turned around and was about to cook. I said something out of nowhere: "aunt, where is your precious granddaughter? Let us take a look..." "Oh, I went to grandma's house yesterday. I went to play, but I haven’t come back today..." Everyone looked at each other and chirped: "Oh, auntie, it’s really rare for everyone to come here, and you don’t let us see your rich little princess, and you even hide it, haha... "In fact, maybe everyone knows it well. Morfin must be afraid that everyone will pay for it, so he gave the child to a neighbor or relative. It seems that Morfin is really a careful person. Then my colleagues sat together, cracking melon seeds and chatting. After a while, aunt Mo prepared the meal. I didn’t want to drink during this period, but my colleagues yelled at me and said, "It’s okay to drink today. My sister-in-law can drive you back..." The more senior Colleague said: "Yes, I must drink today. Take Xiaoqiu's share with me too..." So I was forced to drink a lot. After the meal, the women cleaned up the leftovers, and the men were a little embarrassed. Sitting there, Uncle Mo said: "Come, let's play cards..." Everyone looked at each other with big eyes and SMall eyes, a little embarrassed, yes, if it was Mo Fen's husband, everyone would immediatelyHe agreed without hesitation, but he had to play cards with Morfin's father and the elders. It was a bit embarrassing to win or lose. Maybe this was the embarrassing thing about the women in the Family who didn't have a husband. Everyone was silent for a while, and I couldn't help but said: "Uncle, I think it's better to forget it. Let's have tea and watch TV and then go back later..." Uncle Mo said reluctantly: "It's Chinese New Year. Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Let's play cards and go back after dinner..." At this time, a Colleague who was addicted to gambling started to get excited and said, "I think it's okay, let's play something SMall, win or lose. It won't hurt your friendship..." "Okay, I'll give you a piece or two of fried gold flowers." Xiao Zhou suggested. A Colleague who is addicted to gambling said: "That's too SMall, no, it's better like this. One block is the bottom, and if the player sees the cards, it will be 3 yuan, and the top will be 20 yuan..." Several people discussed it for a while, and finally settled on the top. 10 yuan, so the win or loss is four to five hundred, which is not bad and won't hurt too much. I didn't want to play cards, but I didn't want to spoil the fun, so I randomly played a few cards and quit after losing 100. Several women were watching TV in Morfin's room. Not to mention, Morfin's room was really clean and there were a lot of flowers and plants in the room. No wonder she divorced her husband. She must have higher requirements for the quality of life. Be female. Seeing me walking over, Morfin asked first, "Hey, why don't you play cards anymore?" "You're not interested in playing cards..." "Tsk, I think Xiaoqiu is in charge..." aunt Mo interrupted again He said: "It's good not to gamble. Just tell me, if my son-in-law didn't gamble, he wouldn't have divorced Morfin..." Morfin said anxiously and angrily: "mom, you mentioned him again. Well? It’s Chinese New Year, don’t bring up such a spoiling thing..." In this way, I watched TV with a few women, but the four "gamblers" who were gambling in the living room were "too deep into the drama." I had long forgotten the time. At this time, my female Colleague Xiaoli couldn't help but said: "It's almost 4 o'clock, why don't you go back..." "You go outside to urge me..." I said first. Morfin immediately rushed to say: "Go back after dinner..." aunt Mo said: "No one is allowed to leave until dinner. I am so happy that you are here. I am even happier than having relatives..." Female My Colleague Xiaoli looked at me, I winked at her, and she slipped out. Unexpectedly, not long after he went out, Uncle Mo shouted in a loud voice: "Xiaofen, Xiaofen, go out with your mother to buy some food, and then leave after dinner..." Several colleagues, who may have won or lost, unexpectedly said at this time No one said anything about leaving, so in desperation, I didn’t say anything else. At this time, Morfen was about to go shopping with aunt Mo, and I said first, "You stay at Home with Xiaoqiu and Xiaoli, and I'll go out with aunt Mo..." In fact, I naturally like to acCompany women around here and there. Go shopping, I subconsciously said this. He completely played the role that Morfin's husband should do. Fortunately, Xiaoli also rushed to say at this time: "I went out to buy groceries with my aunt, and I was bored to death at Home..." "Tsk, take my business. If you ask me to be a man at Home to acCompany you women, wouldn't it be boring? No way. , I'm going out with my auntBuying groceries...You three girls are at Home..." Just like that, my aunt and I rushed to the vegetable market while walking and chatting. At this time, on the way back after shopping for groceries, aunt Mo suddenly said with emotion: "Oh, it would be great if you were my son-in-law. Look at how warm we are..." "Then you treat me like your son, anyway. My mother is no longer here either..." What my aunt thought about at this time was, if I were her son-in-law, I never thought that it would be great if my mother was still here. "Isn't it, your mother...?" When aunt Mo said this, she felt embarrassed to continue talking. of course I didn’t want to curse my mother during the Chinese New Year, so I said, "My mom and dad are divorced and we are not in the same city..." "Oh, haha,..." Then the two of them were speechless all the way. After returning Home, aunt Mo went to work in the kitchen. I wanted to help, but after thinking about it carefully, I was not her son-in-law, and it would not be good to be too attentive. So I prepared to go to Morfin's room. But as soon as I walked to the door, I heard Xiaoqiu saying: "Oh, Morfin, I really envy you. No wonder your mother is reluctant to let you get married. It's just good to live with your parents, there is nothing awkward at all... " Morfin added: "I still envy you. Your husband hurts you at Home, and your parents hurt you when you go Home..." "Humph, it hurts like hell..." Xiaoqiu said disdainfully. Xiaoli then said, "Hey, Xiaoqiu, what's the matter with you? It seems like you're not in a good mood today. I didn't even notice what you said. Did you have a fight with Zhihao?..." "No, I saw Morfen with Uncle and aunt are so sweet, they remind me of my parents..." At this time, Xiaoli may have been here, and she said: "Haha, that means I can't get along with my father-in-law and Mother-in-law...?" "It's not that I can't get along, my father-in-law and Mother-in-law are outsiders after all , How can I have my own parents to kiss me..." Xiaoqiu said lightly. Hearing what Xiaoqiu said, Xiaoli immediately agreed and said, "It's true, mom and dad are always the closest..." Listening to the three women chatting animatedly, I couldn't bear to interrupt. They turned around and left. But I couldn't help but sigh. When we were newly married, Xiaoqiu rarely mentioned missing Home. Unexpectedly, Xiaoqiu told Morfen and the others that she was Homesick at this time. What does it mean for a woman to be Homesick? It definitely means that she is not happy in life now and feels uncomfortable in her heart. After thinking about it, I came to the four "gamblers" and watched them playing cards absentmindedly. Moreover, their bet

was that they would be happy to have dinner at five o'clock, but the four of them dragged it until six We started eating after a little while. Because they knew that it was their first time to visit Morfin's house and they were not relatives. They would definitely have to leave after dinner, so they could gamble for a while longer. So after being so tormented, it was already past 7 o'clock after the meal. After the meal, everyone exchanged a few polite words and the group left in a hurry. On the way Home, Xiaoqiu drove her car, first picked up Xiaobao, and then sent her colleagues back Home. When she got Home, it was almost nine o'clock. Although the party was quite lively, Xiaoqiu and I didn’t feel any excitement at all., dragged his tired body, washed and went to sleep. And how long will this haze-like mood last?
