MMB Chapter 819 My 26-year-old female CEO, Sister Jiajia.
Chapter 819 My 26-year-old female CEO, Sister Jiajia.
After returning from the mountain village.
Xu Zhimu asked Liu Ningqing what she had always wanted to say.
However, Liu Ningqing smiled and told him that she alone could not explain the whole thing.
Xu Zhimu knew immediately that he had been fooled.
evening.
Xu Zhimu went to visit his wives in the next room.
Arriving at Ye Luojia's room.
At this moment, the female CEO was lying on the bed and leaning on the bedside table, with a laptop on her legs.
Holding Little Tomato in one hand while breastfeeding, the other hand looked at the data on the screen.
"Didn't I tell you? Just keep an eye on Little Tomato during these times, and I'll take care of the company's affairs."
Xu Zhimu walked over and Ye Luojia was looking at some of the company's data and reports.
Ye Luojia raised her head and looked at him, her eyes narrowed.
"I want to feed my children, and my little employees also need to be fed."
This little employee is naturally the "money-greedy" guy Xu Zhimu.
Xu Zhimu chuckled. After all, when the two first met, Xu Zhimu actually came here for money.
"Then Mr. President, give me a bite too!"
Xu Zhimu smacked his lips, but Ye Luojia just looked at him angrily: "You can discuss it with Little Tomato yourself. If she agrees, I'll have no objection."
In my arms, Little Tomato is only about two months old now, in this little baby's subconscious mind.
No one can compete with her for food, even if the King of Heaven comes.
Xu Zhimu smiled coquettishly: "Forget it, leave it all to my daughter. It's okay for me to be hungry, but I can't starve my daughter."
Ye Luojia glared at him again: "Do you think I can't feed the child?"
President Ye, like An Xiaomi, has a character that refuses to admit defeat, so he is particularly concerned about this.
Xu Zhimu knew that he would be beaten if he continued talking, so he immediately changed the topic.
He sat on the edge of the bed, poked his daughter's face, and said, "What were you discussing the past few days? I asked Qingqing, but she asked me to ask you again."
Seeing Xu Zhimu's depressed expression, Ye Luojia raised her lips slightly. She slowly closed the screen, looked at him and said, "Want to know?"
"Mr. President, please stop tempting me."
"Okay, then... wait until tomorrow, you accompany me to a place, and I will consider telling you." Ye Luojia narrowed her eyes and said with a smile.
Xu Zhimu rubbed his head helplessly: "Why are you doing this?"
This line is exactly the same as what Liu Ningqing said two days ago.
"What? Have an opinion?"
Ye Luojia raised Danfeng and looked at it without blinking.
"Now that the CEO has spoken, how dare you not obey?" Xu Zhimu felt that he was also being fooled by them.
"You know what's going on." Ye Luojia smiled and saw that Little Tomato was full, then he hugged Little Tomato and patted her gently, letting her burp so she could sleep.
After that, she looked at Xu Zhimu who was aside and moved slightly closer to him.
"There's still a little more. How about giving you some extra food?"
Xu Zhimu coughed dryly: "I'm quite full tonight. Let's try another day."
……
the next day.
Xu Zhimu drove Ye Luojia and Little Tomato to Kyoto again.
This wife has many wives, and she has to run back and forth during the Chinese New Year to wish her husband-in-law and everyone else a happy New Year.
Went directly to the Ye family's manor.
It’s a new year and a new atmosphere. When Xu Zhimu and Ye Luojia come back with their children in their arms, they can really be regarded as visiting relatives.
Aunt Song and Ye Qinghai had been waiting for a long time.
As soon as I saw Little Tomato, I immediately gathered around.
At this moment, there was no head of the Ye family, no business giant, just a grandfather meeting his granddaughter.
Ye Qinghai held Little Tomato in his arms, his eyes full of love. He was so happy that he didn't even eat, and took the little guy to visit the family first.
He pointed at various luxurious and wealthy buildings or the reception rooms of some company projects.
As if to say, look.
These are all huge territories your grandpa has laid down for you!
Apart from anything else, this father-in-law is really willing to spend gold coins.
If when Little Tomato grows up, the old man might be able to use a large sum of his private money to give his granddaughter as an adult gift.
After lunch, I also put Little Tomato to sleep.
Ye Luojia looked at Xu Zhimu and suddenly said: "This afternoon... accompany me to a place."
"Where is our daughter?"
Xu Zhimu asked.
"Aunt Song is watching, there is milk powder, and there is a wet nurse at home, so she won't be hungry."
Ye Luojia stroked her daughter's little face, and she raised her eyes to look at him: "It's just the two of us."
Xu Zhimu looked at her, smiled softly, and then touched his daughter's little face with him.
"Little Tomato, mom and dad are going out on a secret date soon. Be good at home. If you don't say anything, we'll treat it as your consent."
The sleeping Little Tomato just chirped. The baby didn't know, and the baby couldn't speak.
Ye Luojia couldn't help but laugh, stretched out her hand and hit him.
……
The weather is still very cold in winter.
Xu Zhimu drove Ye Luojia back to the community first.
This is the place where the two of them have the most memories.
It's just that Ye Luojia has been at Ye's house since she became pregnant, and then went to the hotel on the top of the mountain.
Haven't stayed here for a long time.
But the room was kept very clean, and naturally the female secretary came to clean it every few days.
into the room.
Before Xu Zhimu could sigh, he saw Ye Luojia starting to take off his clothes.
The luxurious custom-made winter coat was thrown directly on the sofa, and the tall figure was outlined more charmingly by the tight sweater.
Although I just gave birth to a baby a month or two ago.
However, because of the money the family had, they directly hired the best postpartum rehabilitation therapist to serve her with various ointments and physical therapy items that were not even available on the market.
Her body was almost no different from before.
"Jiajia, what are you doing?" Xu Zhimu's eyelids twitched as he watched Ye Luojia begin to take off her shoes, revealing her white and tender feet.
Ye Luojia didn't even look back, she took off her socks and threw them accurately in his face.
"You should take it off quickly."
"...Don't be so anxious to have a second child. You haven't passed the lactation period yet."
Xu Zhimu took off the cotton socks and rubbed them, feeling a little unresponsive.
Ye Luojia turned around and rolled her eyes at him, her red phoenix eyes flashing slightly: "What are you thinking about? I want you to change clothes and follow me out later."
"If you had told me earlier, it would have been misunderstood."
Xu Zhimu looked mean and was kicked by Ye Luojia.
There are many clothes in the wardrobe, from handmade customization to some luxury brands, and some that look more low-key.
Ye Luojia, however, chose a very ordinary down jacket and gave it to Xu Zhimu to put on too.
The two of them looked in the mirror. Well... the clothes were already very ordinary.
But the temperament and appearance of the two people still cannot be concealed.
Especially Ye Luojia's red phoenix eyes. She used to have red hair and she was like a fiery phoenix.
Now she has black hair, like a more mysterious Dark Phoenix.
You will be the center of attention wherever you go.
She thought for a while and finally took another mask and put it on.
"Mysterious, what on earth do you want to do?"
Xu Zhimu looked at her like this, and this was the standard for a big star to go out on the street.
"shop."
Ye Luojia answered simply and neatly, then reached out and gently took Xu Zhimu's arm and started walking out of the building.
When going downstairs, Ye Luojia pressed down on the first floor.
"Aren't you going to drive in the basement?"
"No, let's just walk today."
Ye Luojia seemed to have something she wanted to accomplish, and Xu Zhimu let her do it.
She has been in her room almost every day since she was pregnant until her confinement, so it was time for her to go out for a walk.
After walking out of the community, Xu Zhimu originally thought that Ye Luojia was going to the luxury store to choose some watches, bags and the like.
In the bustling city of Kyoto, all the luxuries in the world can be found here, including the most majestic and gorgeous buildings.
Passing by tall buildings.
But Ye Luojia had no intention of stopping at all.
The two of them walked through the bustling and prosperous neighborhood, and as they walked further inside, houses with a sense of age appeared in front of them.
The houses here look to be at least 30 or [-] years old, and most of the people living here are old people.
A special product of urbanization progress.
urban village.
Many international metropolises will leave behind many urban villages. These houses are old, the roads are narrow, and facilities such as sewers are also backward.
However, due to various reasons, one of them was not successfully demolished.
Compared with the high-rise buildings outside, this place is as backward as a "slum".
Although, the main owner here may not become a multi-millionaire as soon as the house is demolished.
But this is only for landlords.
However, for many migrant workers who come to big cities, especially those who engage in some low-level labor.
This is the best place to stay.
The high-rise buildings and exquisite apartments outside are nice, but one month's high rent has cut off many people's dream of living in Beijing.
Only in urban villages, although the conditions are very backward in all aspects, the advantage is that the rent is cheap.
A small room only costs a few hundred yuan a month, and you can get a full meal for only five yuan at the food stall downstairs.
The first stop for many people when they come to a big city is to be accepted into an urban village.
However, there is no need to consider health and safety in this kind of place. There are residual oil stains on the ground and the trash cans are piled high. Not to mention the smell, but for ordinary urban white-collar workers, they are not suitable. Very willing to come.
Moreover, it is not far from the community. It is just blocked by a bunch of high-rise buildings. If you don't take the initiative to look for it, it is really hard to imagine that such a place exists in this bustling international metropolis.
"Why do I feel like you are so familiar with this place?"
Xu Zhimu turned around and asked him.
"I came here often when I was little."
"When you were a child?" Xu Zhimu looked around.
She is the female president of a listed company. She has lived in the castle-like Ye Family Manor since she was a child. How could she come to a place like this.
"Yes, because my mother used to live here. When I was a child, every time my father was not at home, she would take me here for a stroll."
Ye Luojia's footsteps paused slightly, and she looked towards a street, which seemed to be a snack street.
Of course, it's definitely not the formal kind. These are some nearby residents who push a cart and set up stalls.
The floors here vary from high to low, but they are quite old and the tiles have turned green and black.
Xu Zhimu heard what Ye Luojia said about her mother.
In the past, Ye Luojia's mother was just a hotel waiter, and the elderly family member was seriously ill.
Ye Qinghai met her by chance and fell in love at first sight, and that's what happened next.
Come to think of it, Ye Luojia's mother must have lived here before. After all, this is the place where you can rent the cheapest house in Kyoto, where land is so expensive.
“Also, although the people here have no money, they are very humane.
Every time my mother brings me here, she always visits an old woman who sells noodles.
My mother said that in the past, in order to save money for medical treatment at home, she was so hungry every day that she became sallow and skinny. This old woman would give her a bowl of noodles to eat every day. However, it seems that the old woman moved away a few years ago, so I rarely come here. …”
"That's it."
Xu Zhimu didn't know how to comfort her. Visiting her old place again meant that she just couldn't let go of the past memories.
He could only hold her little hand gently.
Ye Luojia pulled him to a house.
Narrow aisles, dark and humid environment, this kind of tube building, or pigeon building.
A room can usually only accommodate one bed, and people on the first floor share a bathroom and a kitchen.
Living here is really like a pigeon cage.
Even in the glamorous metropolis, there is a place like this that seems to have been abandoned by society.
Not to mention the huge Ye family, even ordinary people would find it unbearable to see such an environment.
But it is a place like this that has become the place where many Jingpiao rely on for their survival.
"Upstairs, is there still the room where Mom used to live?"
Xu Zhimu looked up and asked. According to Ye Luojia's habit, she would definitely buy the place where her mother used to live when she got rich.
"There are...some of my mother's old things, and they are all placed in there."
"Then do you want to go up and take a look?" Xu Zhimu said.
However, Ye Luojia shook her head. She bit her lip slightly, feeling regretful, but finally she slowly felt relieved.
"It was my mother who said, let the past go. She liked bringing me here, not to show me how difficult her life was.
But she wants me to cherish the life I have now. She is afraid that my stubborn temper will not be tolerated by the Ye family in the future..."
Ye Luojia said, she looked up at the dilapidated house in front of her, her eyes filled with warm colors.
"Mom also has good intentions, and now that she knows about your life, she will be very pleased."
Xu Zhimu turned back to look at her: "Besides, since you have me, you don't have to worry about being rejected by others in the future. With me here, we will always have a happy home."
Ye Luojia looked at him, and the gentle voice in his memory seemed to float in his ears.
"Jiajia, when you grow up, you will meet someone you are willing to marry at all costs. At that time, you will understand that it doesn't matter if everyone in the world is against you, as long as he is here, Your family will never be separated..."
The voice deep in the memory slowly intertwined with Xu Zhimu's voice at this moment, and a warm arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the nearby elementary school started to let out.
There are people wearing H scarves and backpacks with various Ultraman designs everywhere on the roadside.
Nowadays, children's schoolbags don't seem so heavy, and the small shops in the street are also surrounded by primary school students.
Spending [-] cents to buy a pack of spicy strips, and then using [-] cents to sell some marbles or cards, a dollar a day as pocket money is enough for them to be happy for a long time.
Watching the children each buy snacks of different flavors and then exchange them with each other.
Although spicy strips and soda have always been said to be junk food, for children, this is a delicacy that can only be eaten in one bite a day.
The primary school students passed by one by one and watched them eating happily and wiggling their fingers.
Ye Luojia actually swallowed her saliva subconsciously.
"Have you never eaten spicy strips?" Xu Zhimu saw this scene in his eyes and asked with a smile.
Ye Luojia looked a little embarrassed: "Well, I couldn't eat spicy food when I was a child. When I grow up, I have never seen these things."
"Okay, then I'll treat you to a meal today, as long as it's enough!"
Xu Zhimu patted his chest, looking like a wealthy nouveau riche.
Ye Luojia couldn't help but smile: "Fifty cents a pack, let's see how good you are."
"You don't know, if someone could shout like that when I was a kid, I would probably recognize him as my adoptive father."
Xu Zhimu laughed and dragged the female CEO, who was worth tens of billions, to the spicy strips stall that cost [-] cents a pack.
Xu Zhimu looked at his wallet and saw that there was only one hundred in it. He took out one and handed it to him.
The boss was collecting fifty-cent pieces every day, and suddenly he saw such a red one, and for a while he was a little embarrassed to give change.
Under the envious eyes of a group of children, Xu Zhimu took a bag of spicy strips.
"Big brother, rich man."
"Handsome brother, have you finished eating?"
The children watched Xu Zhimu pick up a large bag of spicy strips and jump around him.
I don't know which little girl called "handsome brother", which instantly satisfied Xu Zhimu's vanity.
"Kids are really discerning, come and call me handsome brother again."
"Handsome brother!"
Xu Zhimu is always a handsome brother, and elementary school students already have aesthetics. The little girls look at Xu Zhimu with bright eyes.
Xu Zhimu couldn't help but feel embarrassed, picked up a pack of spicy chips and handed it to the girl.
Now, more people started shouting.
"Handsome brother! My brother!"
"Let's be friends with local tyrants!"
Xu Zhimu is now like a giant of light who can deliver spicy noodles.
A group of villain friends surrounded him, and Xu Zhimu was not stingy about giving a package to each of them.
Ye Luojia stood aside, looking at this big childish devil, and she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
Yes, their current income, the money they earn in one second, is enough for one person to eat spicy chips for a lifetime.
However, too much money becomes a number.
Hundreds of millions of dollars are not as good as the happiness and satisfaction brought by this [-]-cent pack of spicy strips in front of me.
Finished dividing the spicy strips.
Xu Zhimu came to Ye Luojia with the last few bags in his arms.
"Hey, Santa Claus has finished delivering gifts?"
Ye Luojia looked at him with a smile.
"How wonderful. A pack of spicy strips costing only [-] cents can make them happy all day long. I really envy the carefreeness of children."
Xu Zhimu tore open a pack of spicy strips and put it in front of her. The strange fragrance came out, which was surprisingly quite appetizing.
Ye Luojia thought for a moment, looked at the red oil on it, and finally stretched out her white and tender fingers, picked one up, put it in her mouth and bit it gently.
Suddenly, the spicy yet sweet feeling made Ye Luojia's eyes light up.
Xu Zhimu smiled: "It's delicious."
"Uh-huh."
Ye Luojia seemed to have discovered a new road. He didn't care that the red oil would dirty his fingers, so he picked up another one and ate it.
Xu Zhimu also took one bite at a time. He hadn't eaten this for a long time. It was really satisfying to try it once in a while.
But if this scene were to spread, it would probably make the entire business district in Kyoto extremely shocked.
The two of them together, and the huge Ye family, are the two heads of a business empire worth hundreds of billions in the future.
At this moment, I was grabbing a pack of spicy strips that cost [-] cents, and I was having a great time eating them.
"Jiajia, please stop eating."
"What are you doing? You don't even want to give up fifty cents a pack?"
Ye Luojia's mouth was bulging. She was tired of eating delicacies from mountains and seas, but she had an especially good appetite today.
"It's not that you are reluctant, but you still have to nurse the child now, and you don't want the little tomatoes to turn into little peppers, right?" Xu Zhimu glanced at her chest.
Ye Luojia immediately blushed slightly, and then rolled her eyes at him: "If you don't want to eat, you won't eat..."
She looked at her hands. She hadn't noticed when she was eating, but now her two green-white fingers were stained with red oil.
"Okay, let's wipe it with a wet wipe first."
Xu Zhimu looked at her expression and prepared to wipe her hands with some wet wipes.
"In the bag." Ye Luojia's hands were also stained with oil, and Xu Zhimu stretched out his other hand to look for it.
But Ye Luojia glanced at the children eating spicy strips beside them. They all twirled their fingers after eating the spicy strips.
I always feel that twirling my fingers is more satisfying than eating spicy strips directly.
Her eyes brightened slightly, and she looked at Xu Zhimu's other finger, which was stained with red oil from spicy strips, and was now holding it in front of her.
She unexpectedly licked it.
Xu Zhimu trembled.
Just holding the wet wipes, he looked up at Ye Luojia.
"Jiajia, you..."
Ye Luojia also reacted, with a beautiful cold face that couldn't help but turn red at this moment.
"I just looked at them...the wipes are there!"
She was so angry that she didn't want to explain.
Xu Zhimu suppressed a smile and took out a wet wipe to wipe her fingers.
But the feeling just now was pretty good.
Xu Zhimu suddenly had a bold idea, but immediately canceled it.
I still can’t handle the chili oil on my own.
After that, the two people walked all the way again and came to a small park.
There are swings and some slides in the park.
However, it seems that it is no longer young, but it is still a place for entertainment for many children.
The primary school students who have just finished school, some get together to play marbles, throw cards, and some play seesaw together.
Ye Luojia stood at the entrance of the park, looking at the children playing happily inside. Memories flashed through her eyes.
She leaned lightly on Xu Zhimu's shoulder and said with a smile: "When I was a child, what I looked forward to most was to come here with my mother to swing on the swing and play on the seesaw."
"I thought that those of you who came from a good background would have studied piano or some aristocratic sports such as horseback riding and archery since childhood."
Xu Zhimu said with a smile.
"Yes, I have been forced to learn piano since I was a child. I have to dance for hours every day and memorize some meaningless etiquette rules.
These things are very useful, but not fun at all, so my mother will take me out every week. Here, I don’t have to think about anything, I just feel very happy and free..."
Ye Luojia looked at the laughing children in the park, as if she had seen the past.At that time, she also liked to wear beautiful little skirts, and her mother gently pushed her on the swing.
Just as she was reminiscing, Xu Zhimu suddenly pulled her towards the park.
"Speaking of which, I haven't played on the swing in a long time."
Xu Zhimu smiled.
Ye Luojia was a little embarrassed: "How old are you..."
"There is a saying that goes well, men are teenagers until they die, they can play, why can't I, a baby who is three years and over 200 months old, not be able to play?"
Xu Zhimu pulled her and gently leaned into her ear: "Sister Jiajia, just play with me once today, okay?"
Ye Luojia could never stand Xu Zhimu calling her like this, and her whole ears softened.
She looked at Xu Zhimu, a pair of phoenix eyes shining with soft colors. Immediately, she felt a little bit like the tsundere of An Xiaomi: "Then...I will reluctantly agree to you once."
"Let's go!"
Xu Zhimu pulled her and went directly to the swing.
The children here have already taken their places.
But when those children saw Xu Zhimu, they immediately shouted excitedly: "Ah! It's Brother Latiao!"
"Brother Latiao, you and your beautiful sister are here to play too."
Xu Zhimu couldn't hold it back. Just now he called him Handsome Brother, but in the blink of an eye, he only remembered Latiao?
Ye Luojia couldn't help laughing.
"Yes, this beautiful sister wants to play on the swing. Can you give us some face and let us play for a while first?"
The face of Xu Zhimu, the CEO of a listed company, cannot be bought by anyone even with a lot of money.
In the world of children, it doesn’t matter how big a boss you are, but a [-]-cent pack of spicy strips just now is a big deal!
"Okay! Big sister, come and sit here with me!"
"Sit here, I'm so horny!"
The children all gave up their seats very humbly.
This actually made Ye Luojia a little embarrassed.
The female CEO who was used to big scenes was at a loss and blushing at this moment.
Xu Zhimu directly pulled her to sit on the swing in front of him.
Xu Zhimu leaned behind her ear, chuckled and said, "Hold it, I'll push you."
Ye Luojia turned around and met Xu Zhimu's gentle eyes.
"Ok!"
Xu Zhimu pushed her back gently, amidst the cheers of many children.
Ye Luojia's swing got higher and higher. At this moment, she seemed to be back to the past.
The little girl who used to like to wear a small skirt, carefree and free.
After playing on the swing, Xu Zhimu took her to play on the seesaw.
"Come on, come on! The little princesses all follow the big sister, and the little warriors all follow me!"
Xu Zhimu has become the king of children. On both sides of the seesaw, girls and boys are separated, rising and falling together with Xu Zhimu's slogans.
The entire park echoed with the excited cheers of the children.
Ye Luojia was a little embarrassed at the beginning, but now she completely let go. She looked across at Xu Zhimu's happy smile.
She knew in her heart that Xu Zhimu did this so that she could not have any worries, let go of everything, and spend every minute happily.
From birth, there are countless people who want to please her and spend a lot of money.
However, he is the only one who can still accompany her childishly on swings and seesaws.
It always gets dark very quickly in winter.
In the park, many parents also got off work and started calling their children to go back.
"Brother Latiao, beautiful sister, we are going back and can't play with you anymore."
The children were a bit unsatisfied.
The little girl was also reluctant to pull Ye Luojia's sleeves, for this elder sister who was particularly temperamental and had beautiful eyes.
They all have a feeling of being an idol that they yearn for.
Ye Luojia looked at their innocent eyes. At this moment, she was in a trance.
Once upon a time, when her mother was still alive, her mother would urge her to go home as soon as the sun went down.
At that time, she was so reluctant to leave...
"It doesn't matter, my brothers and sisters will come again in the future, and I'll treat you to spicy strips next time!"
Xu Zhimu said with a smile to the little boys.
Suddenly there were shouts of excitement.
"Sister, you have to come here to play in the future too!"
The little girls looked at Ye Luojia and stretched out their hands one by one.
"It's a word."
All the emotions in Ye Luojia's heart slowly came back. She looked at the cute children in front of her with a smile, and stretched out her hand to touch each of them.
The children left one by one, and many parents also smiled and waved to Xu Zhimu and Ye Luojia.
Xu Zhimu watched Ye Luojia look at the direction where the children left for a long time.
His face, which had always been cold, seemed to have never stopped smiling this afternoon.
She also turned her head at this moment and looked at Xu Zhimu, with some sadness in her eyes: "Next time... I don't know how long it will be."
"As long as you want, I will come with you anytime. With a few packets of spicy chips, I won't evade the fare."
Xu Zhimu smiled and poked her cheek: "Beautiful sister won't break her promise, right?"
Ye Luojia's eyes flashed, the corners of her mouth turned up in a nice arc, and she hugged Xu Zhimu's arm tightly.
"Of course!"
……
It's getting late, and there are many food stalls in urban villages, filling the air with the greasy smell.
Of course, the sanitary conditions here are not good, but a bowl of fried noodles only costs four or five yuan. What else do you want from a bicycle?
As the two of them walked, they returned to the floor where Ye Luojia's mother originally lived.
Ye Luojia couldn't help but stop and take a look.
"Since we're all here, let's go up and have a look."
Xu Zhimu said softly. He knew that Ye Luojia was actually afraid of seeing things from the past and remembering things from the past.
But now, she is with her.
Ye Luojia felt the warmth from his palm, thought for a while, and then slowly nodded.
This is a self-built building with seven or eight floors.
There is no elevator, and the stairs are a bit narrow. People who come down occasionally can tell at a glance that they are workers doing hard work.
Fourth floor.
There are five or six rooms on the first floor. In one of them, the door lock is hung and there are some cartoon patterns on the door.
Just looking at the signs of fading and the dust on the lock, you can tell that no one has been here for a long time.
Ye Luojia stood at the door. She turned around and looked around. The public kitchen was stained with oil, and there was only one tungsten filament light bulb in the entire corridor that emitted dim light.
"You are……"
This is, an old voice came from behind.
Xu Zhimu and Ye turned around and found an old lady carrying a pole.
Ye Luojia's eyes opened a little wider.
The old lady opposite was also stunned for a moment when she saw Ye Luojia, and then stretched out her hand: "You...you are."
"Grandma Yao, it's me, Jiajia." Ye Luojia shouted at this moment.
The old lady became excited: "Oh, it just looked like she has grown so big in the blink of an eye... Where is your mother? It has been so many years and I haven't seen her come back."
The old lady put it on the pole, walked over and took Ye Luojia's hand, looking up and down as if looking at her junior.
Mentioning her mother, Ye Luojia's eyes flashed with sadness for a moment, but the next moment she smiled and said softly: "My mother went to another city, and I came here today just to take a look."
Grandma Yao was a little dazed, but then she nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's better to go to other cities than here. My child, have you eaten? Otherwise, stay here and eat a bowl of fan. I just made the syrup." Noodle."
As Grandma Yao said, she was about to drag Ye Luojia over to eat.
What she was carrying on the pole just now were two thermos buckets filled with starched noodles.
"Grandma Yao, no need for now, we just had something to eat, are you... still going out to sell noodles?"
"Yeah, what if I don't sell some noodles? I don't have any other skills."
Grandma Yao seems to be in trouble.
Xu Zhimu looked at the two thermos buckets. They were not light in weight, and it was so cold outside. When the two buckets of pulp noodles were sold out, it would be unpleasant to freeze outside.
"Grandma Yao, why don't we go downstairs and talk slowly."
Ye Luojia seems to know that Granny Yao goes out to sell noodles at this time every day.
This will be the prime time to get off work, and I don’t want to delay it.
"well."
Grandma Yao is going to carry the pole.
"Mother-in-law, let me do it."
But Xu Zhimu took the lead and dropped the pole on his shoulder. He already knew it.
This old woman was the person Ye Luojia mentioned not long ago who had helped her mother.
Grandma Yao was stunned for a moment: "By the way, this young man is... your partner, right?"
Ye Luojia faced Granny Yao as if she were meeting an elder in the family. She blushed slightly and nodded: "Yes."
"Okay, okay, this young man is very talented. Look at his body. He is a perfect match for you."
Grandma Yao smiled happily, and Ye Luojia helped her go downstairs little by little.
Looking at her stooped body, even walking is a little awkward, but she still has to carry a pole and sell noodles in the cold wind every day.
She felt a little sad.
"Grandma Yao, I remember you had retired before? Why are you selling noodles again now?" Ye Luojia still couldn't help but ask.
“Alas, my son had an accident at a construction site last year and his leg was smashed. He has been waiting for compensation, but it is not enough for medical expenses.
I have been lying at home for half a year, and I still have [-] to [-] yuan before I can have an operation. I am an old man and I can’t just stay at home and come back..."
As Grandma Yao spoke, tears filled her old eyes.
Ye Luojia listened silently, and Xu Zhimu also kept these in his ears.
Went downstairs.
Xu Zhimu helped carry the pole to the intersection, and Granny Yao squatted by the wall and took out a small sign.
"Handmade noodles, three yuan a bowl."
In Kyoto, even in an urban village, this is really just a matter of earning a little hard-earned money.
"Mother-in-law, how long will it take for you to finish selling these?"
Ye Luojia looked at the passers-by and felt that there were not many people buying noodles.
"It's usually after ten o'clock in the evening. Anyway, it's close to home, so I have nothing to do."
Grandma Yao spoke lightly, but she is already over 70 years old after all.
Even though he was wearing a cotton-padded jacket, it was still cold outside and it would be better to huddle in a corner.
An old man of this age should have enjoyed her old age long ago, but she still had to go out in this winter without even a small stall.
Xu Zhimu knew that even if he spent money to buy both barrels of noodles at this time, the old man would not agree.
And won't waste it.
She won't go back until these two buckets of noodles are sold out.
"Grandma Yao, let's do this. Jiajia and I have nothing to do today, so how about we help you sell them together?"
Xu Zhimu came over and suddenly spoke.
Grandma Yao was stunned for a moment, and she knew what they were thinking, so she smiled kindly: "How can that be done? I accept your wishes, but selling these things is dirty and tiring, and I don't have any money to pay you."
"There is no need for salary. Jiajia and I haven't eaten yet at night. It will be nice to be able to take care of the meal later."
Xu Zhimu smiled and couldn't resist the old woman's refusal. He just took the sign, stood at the intersection and started shouting.
“Purely handmade noodles, nutritious and healthy, delicious and not expensive!”
This shout was very bright and immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"This kid, how good is this..."
The old woman didn't know what to say for a moment. Ye Luojia gently grabbed her calloused hand and chuckled: "It's okay, mother-in-law, just let him go, he just likes to join in the fun."
Xu Zhimu did like to join in the fun, but more importantly, he, a dignified CEO of a listed company, came to stand on the street and sell noodles.
What's more, it's his love for Ye Luojia.
Moreover, with Xu Zhimu's hawking and the "star effect" of Xu Zhimu's little fresh meat, many people came to buy it.
Moreover, there were several children, who turned out to be the same children who were playing on the seesaw and eating spicy strips together in the park just now.
One by one they jumped over to say hello.
Of course, it was natural to become a new small customer.
"I have to come here and patronize the old lady's business more often. Only kind-hearted children will get more spicy strips!"
Xu Zhimu transformed into a spicy preacher, and the children raised their hands and cheered happily.
"This young man is kind-hearted and smart, he can still work, and he is so popular with children. Jiajia, you have found a good partner."
Grandma Yao couldn't help but smile kindly when she saw this scene.
Ye Luojia felt that her smile never stopped today. She held her chin in her hands, and her eyes were full of love.
The old woman looked at Ye Luojia and remembered that the last time they met, Ye Luojia was still in school.
"Jiajia, I remember you are old enough. This young man is pretty good. If there is something suitable, let's do it sooner rather than later..."
Old people like to care about these things.
Ye Luojia looked at Xu Zhimu's figure and smiled: "Grandma Yao, actually...he and I are already married."
"Jie, got married!"
Grandma Yao was surprised, and the next moment her wrinkled cheeks showed a happy smile: "Okay, it's good to get married. Once you get married, your family will feel relieved.
I still remember the last time I chatted with your mother.
She kept saying that you are the one who worries the most. "
Grandma Yao's eyes fell into memories, looking at Ye Luojia's red and phoenix eyes, which were full of her mother's shadow.
"Your mother said that in this world, people who can enjoy happiness with you are not necessarily good people.
But those who can endure hardships with you and enjoy hardships are the ones truly worth entrusting to you.
Now your mother can rest assured, this young man is a person worth trusting. "
In Ye Luojia's mind, the words her mother had said to her before also appeared. The gentle figure in her mind slowly overlapped with Xu Zhimu who was shouting and hawking at the moment.
The corners of her mouth curled up in happiness.
It was completely dark.
The two barrels that usually take [-] pm to be sold out were all sold out at around [-] pm today.
And the money for these two barrels was less than two hundred.
Excluding the cost, after a month of hard work, you can't make much money.
However, Granny Yao was already grinning from ear to ear with joy.
It's not that the sales are so good today, but that today is her happiest day in such a long time.
"You're so kind, young man. Jiajia will follow you from now on, and I, an old man like me, will feel relieved. By the way, these are the starchy noodles left for you. Eat some after you've been hungry for so long..."
The old lady reserved two bowls specially.
Xu Zhimu smiled and said, "Jiajia, eat first, I'll go to the toilet first."
Ye Luojia made eye contact with him, her eyes moved slightly, and she nodded obediently.
Xu Zhimu walked out of the street first.
"This young man is so good. Now that you are married, do you plan to have this child?"
The old woman started asking again.
Ye Luojia ate the starched noodles, and the hot feeling made her face turn red: "Actually, we already have a child."
"Yes, have children?"
The old woman's face suddenly showed joy: "Yeah, oh, it's so good, so good."
Ye Luojia took out her mobile phone and showed the photo of small tomatoes for the old woman to look at.
The old woman looked at Little Tomato and kept praising: "It's so festive to look fat. Look at these eyes. They are the same as when you were a child, and they are also like your mother's. It's really nice..."
The old woman looked at the photo as if she were seeing her own granddaughter.
After a while, Xu Zhimu came back.
The old woman immediately pulled him along to chat about him and Ye Luojia.
Obviously, this old woman didn't know Ye Luojia's true identity. In the eyes of the old woman, Ye Luojia was just a junior she loved, and it had nothing to do with her identity.
Happy times are always short.
to leave.
"Child, you two will wait a moment."
The old woman suddenly spoke. She took out a wallet from her pocket, which was wrapped in layers of plastic bags.
She took out all the money from selling noodles and took out three more wrinkled bills, totaling 500 yuan, and stretched out her hand to hand them to Ye Luojia and Xu Zhimu.
"Mother-in-law, what are you doing?" Ye Luojia quickly reached out her hand to refuse.
The old woman's eyes were full of the old man's love and sigh: "Time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, you are married and have children. I, an old man like me, can't make any money. This is why I married you and gave you money." Don’t take too little of your child’s kindness.”
The old woman took the money and gave it to Ye Luojia.
Ye Luojia was stunned for a moment. The 500 yuan in front of her felt heavier than the [-] million yuan.
The old lady couldn't make much money a day, she had been wearing cotton-padded clothes for five or six years and was reluctant to change them, and things happened at home. These were really life-saving money.
But even so, the old lady still took it out. Even though they were not relatives, she was still willing to send this blessing.
The two people pushed back and forth, but Xu Zhimu smiled slightly and patted Ye Luojia on the shoulder: "Since it is my mother-in-law's wish, just take it and tell the child later that the milk powder she eats was paid for by her mother-in-law." of."
Xu Zhimu's words made the old woman couldn't help but laugh. The old man had a deep feeling for his relatives from another generation.
"Yes, it is the best thing if the child can eat well."
Ye Luojia held the 500 yuan in her hand. Her eyes were red, and she took a step forward and hugged the old woman gently.
"Thank you…"
"My child, I wish you could still remember me. If you want to live a good life in the future, you should make your life sweeter if you are worthy of the hardships your mother endured."
The old woman touched Ye Luojia's head, her voice was kind and kind.
……
Xu Zhimu and Ye Luojia left.
on the road.
Xu Zhimu looked down at Ye Luojia. She was still holding the 500 yuan in a daze, with the expression on her face sometimes laughing and sometimes red eyes.
Xu Zhimu could only hold her hand tighter and spoke with a slight smile.
"Don't worry, my mother-in-law is a good person and she will definitely have a better life."
At this moment, the old woman was about to open the bucket of noodles and wash the pot. However, there was a plastic bag wrapped tightly in one of the pots.
She was stunned for a moment, stretched out her hand to pick it up, and found that it was quite heavy.
Her calloused hands opened the plastic bag, and the next moment, her hands suddenly started to tremble.
I saw a thick wad of money in the plastic bag.
Ten thousand bundles, there are ten bundles.
That’s one hundred thousand!
There was a note left on it.
"Good people are rewarded. Thank you for taking care of Jiajia and her mother in the past. Please accept these."
At this moment, she thought of the time when the young man ran out, and her old eyes burst into tears.
"Mom! What's wrong?"
Hearing the sound, in the next room, the old woman's son who broke his leg came out with a cane.
The old woman cried with tears all over her face. She held the money in her hand and turned her head to look at her son's broken leg. The money in her hand trembled.
"My child...your legs are finally saved..."
……
At this moment, the road out of the urban village.
Ye Luojia looked at his smile and was lost in thought for a long time.
In my memory, my mother once pulled her forward on this road under such night lights.
"Jiajia, do you know what happiness is?"
"I can come out and play every day~"
"Silly girl, it's great to have someone who can play with you every day."
"Then it's enough for me to have a mother!"
"But there will be a day when mom can't be with you anymore. When that time comes, you will find someone who is willing to accompany you.
He won't dislike your naivety, won't dislike your willfulness, won't covet your identity, and won't make you feel boring.
He can accompany you to experience happiness, and he can also create happiness for you when you are unhappy.
Because as long as he is around, you will be happy.
Jiajia, you will meet such a person.
When you find such a person in the future, mom can rest assured..."
Those voices came from the depths of my memory.
Ye Luojia slowly opened her eyes. She raised her head and looked at Xu Zhimu's softer cheeks under the light.
She murmured, her eyes like crescent moons.
"Mom, I found that person..."
Under the light, the shadows of the two people became longer and longer, and finally merged together.
Some people are like this, no matter what moment, they will become what you love most.
For example, a pack of spicy strips, a swing, a bowl of starched noodles, a bowl of tomato and egg noodles.
Happiness is actually that simple.
It’s here, this time it’s extra fulfilling, there are still three or four chapters to be completed, guess who it will be next time.
In addition, these are the last few chapters, and the word count and time for updating are unstable. If there is no update for one day, it means a big job, and everyone knows it.
