i'm not a bad man

Chapter 342 Time Gone Forever
After Qiao Jiao expressed her accusation against Lu Xi, I subconsciously looked at Lu Xi. I didn't expect that she actually had such a side. If I had to find a word to describe it, it would be "funny". At least I have walked through it. In 296 cities across the country, I have yet to meet a person who would make his house smaller and smaller because he doesn’t want to clean it...

In the past, my impression of Lu Xi was limited to my perception of her, so when a third person said something about what she had done, it still gave me a big surprise, and I didn't know this kind of thing. What she did was like a pen redrawing the image of Lu Xi in my mind. She seemed not to be as inaccessible as I imagined. She was actually a very life-oriented person. The so-called life-oriented person , including a person's personality charm, of course, including shortcomings.

……

Of course, Lu Xi was reluctant to be told this by Qiao Jiao, and even under my gaze he replied: "Jiao Jiao... do you really not know why I want to make the house smaller and smaller?... You should remember it carefully. Let’s talk about the details of our life together... My house is very close to Houhai, so there are many commercial areas around it. The day after you moved in, you bought a lot of things in big and small bags, and you didn’t even clean them up yourself. The packaging bags were thrown all over the floor, and I finally picked them up. Within a few days, you went to another mall again, and this time it was even worse. You couldn't carry it by yourself, so you asked the mall staff to help you. After I brought it back, you just dismantled it and didn't pack it up... I really had no choice, so I moved to the East Fourth Ring Road... You stopped going to the mall, and then started crazy online shopping. At most, you took 56 express delivery items in one day... I was shocked..." After saying that, she turned to me and said: "Han Chao, can you imagine how much garbage 56 express delivery will produce?... In the end, she still didn't clean it up... In the end, I could only I took her to move to the East Sixth Ring Road. There was no particularly mature business district there, and it was not convenient to get express delivery, so she calmed down a little..."

I have long known that Qiao Jiao is a woman who never likes to tidy things up, but after Lu Xi’s accusation, this impression of not tidying things up has a very intuitive scale. She is indeed quite awesome!
Lu Xi was also very cool, and he even thought of using this method to fight against her bad habit of not cleaning up the house. He not only took care of the relationship between the two of them as best friends, but also achieved his own goal. The only regret was that Qiao Jiao didn't know it, and always thought that It was Lu Xi who was unwilling to deal with it, so he did such an unbelievable thing.

To counter the general, Lu Xi succeeded, at least in front of me. This made Qiao Jiao look a little angry. She glared at Lu Xi and said: "Are you a detail freak?...You actually remembered that I took 56 express delivery!"

Lu Xi didn't seem to like arguing with Qiao Jiao, so he started laughing and sang: "56 constellations, 56 flowers, 56 brothers and sisters are one family, 56 languages ​​are combined into one sentence, love me China, love me China, Love me China..."

Qiao Jiao shuddered and said, "Aren't you embarrassed?"

Lu Xi laughed "haha", but I didn't feel the embarrassment Qiao Jiao mentioned in her words and deeds. What I saw was her extraordinary emotional intelligence, which made her even when faced with... Qiao Jiao also seemed to be at ease.

In addition, I am also a little envious, envious that they have such a friend in their lives, they dislike each other, tolerate each other, accommodate each other, and can't live without each other.

I finally spoke to them and said, "In which year did you live in BJ?"

Qiao Jiao and Lu Xi looked at each other and replied: "Last year, last year, right?"

Lu Xi nodded and said, "Last year in February."

I finally said to them in a joking manner: "If I had been in BJ at that time, there would have been no conflict between you... I was so poor at that time that I couldn't even smoke, and I collected empty bottles in the bar every day. Sell, if I were with you, I would pack up Sister Jiao’s express boxes and pay for a pack of cigarettes every day. I can also cook and wash clothes. You just need to give me a nanny’s salary. You don’t have to move to the Sixth Ring Road and suffer the consequences, you can still live in the 200-square-meter flat and your life will be in order.”

Qiao Jiao sneered and replied: "What are you dreaming about?... We two women live together. Is it suitable for you to move in?"

"A house of 200 square meters is not too much for me... Besides, there are many young men and women in BJ who rent together to save rent costs." After a pause, I added: "The past is long gone. , I’m just thinking about it, and I don’t really plan to live with you.”

"I can't even think about it."

I smiled and said, "Sister Jiao, you really have double standards. If I go to BJ to live with you, what's the difference between you living with me and Yu Li now?... You can't just allow the state officials to set fires." People, please light the lamps!" Qiao Jiao was speechless. After a long while, she replied: "Thinking about it carefully, it would have been pretty good if you were there at that time... Just like this spicy chicken, you really did a good job. It’s delicious, much better than the water spinach and shredded potatoes we always eat... Luxi, what do you think?”

After Lu Xi thought about it for a moment, he replied: "If they are all friends, I think it doesn't matter... Anyway, he can clean up the house, which is much better than moving to an apartment."

Qiao Jiao nodded, then looked at me again, and said with a half-smile: "Unfortunately, time is gone forever, I can't go to BJ again..."

……

After finishing the lunch for three people, Qiao Jiao went to the hotel where she learned to make pastry. She said that as the Chinese New Year was approaching, the hotel was particularly short of manpower, so as the backbone of the catering department, she could not be absent anymore. Lu Xi and I stayed in the kitchen to pack the leftovers from lunch.

During the process, I received a call from Qiao Jiao's father. He didn't contact me often, but he only occasionally cared about Qiao Jiao's living conditions here.

After being connected, he spoke to me first: "I heard that Jiaojiao returned to Qingdao two days ago and drove away the RV that was parked in the villa?"

"Well, Uncle Qiao, didn't she contact you when she went back?"

Qiao Jiao's father sighed and replied: "Don't even call me, he didn't even send me a message... Speaking of which, she is really similar to her mother in personality. She doesn't allow people around her to touch her. Make a mistake... My mistake was that I shouldn't have slapped her. In her heart, that slap may have destroyed the bond between our father and daughter!"

"It's not as pessimistic as you think... What she really cared about was the period of life after her aunt left. She felt lonely and abandoned by everyone, but you didn't give her enough care during that time... …”

"Sigh...I also have my own frustrations!...That period was the busiest time for me at work, and it was even related to the life and death of the entire company, but it cannot be denied that between her and my career, I did choose my career... ...So, I have always wanted to make up for the mistakes I made on her... This mentality makes me particularly eager for success, and I always want to use money to make it up to her... In the end, it made her lose her respect for life. , I have been squandering extravagantly... Speaking of which, I am really not a qualified father..." After a pause, he said to me again: "By the way, I have received the cakes you sent me last time. That's really great. Is it something Jiaojiao made?...I don't want to doubt her, I really can't imagine her making cakes seriously..."

"It's absolutely true, she really made the cakes."

"Okay...ok...if you have time later, send me some more. It's really delicious!"

"No problem, Uncle Qiao."

After a short silence, Qiao Jiao's father lowered his voice again, and even said to me with a slightly pleading attitude: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon... I especially want to spend it with Jiao Jiao this year. Please find an opportunity to persuade her. ...I persuade her to return to Qingdao for the New Year...I also want to take this opportunity to eliminate the estrangement in my heart with her. No matter how much she disagrees with me now, the blood relationship between father and daughter can never be changed."
