After a few snowfalls, the coldest part of winter arrived.
"Did that kid ask you for money?"
Xu Wenbin was sitting on the sofa with a cup in his hand, watching Zhou Suzhi walking around the room to clean up the house.
"When did he ask me for money?"
Zhou Suzhi did not even raise her head. "Did he ask you for money?"
"No."
"Then why did you ask … I think he would borrow money from Little Haowu instead of you."
"That Old Li from my unit has been losing money for the past half a month. The stock market is in a mess. I'm guessing that kid is having a hard time too."
Xu Wenbin rubbed his vacuum flask, gritting his teeth as he plotted. "He has a girlfriend living with him. According to his character, he will definitely take care of everything. Sooner or later, he will spend all the money in his pocket. How much money can he make from making a stupid video? Am I right? "
Zhou Suzhi did not speak. She had heard so much that her ears were going to get calluses.
Since a long time ago, Xu Wenbin had been saying every day, "How much money can he have in his pocket? It will be gone after he spends it. Just wait and see. This kid is running out of money and going bankrupt. Don't give him money if he asks you for money. When he is hungry, he will go to work … "
Until now, he had not given up. Every time there was a sign, he would wonder if he was going bankrupt.
"I heard that the country is regulating the livestream industry. It is time to regulate it. When the time comes, his stupid thing will definitely be affected. What is this called? If you don't listen to your elders, you will suffer. I have long seen that he is unreliable. He will not be able to develop in the long run … "
"Isn't he making videos?" Zhou Suzhi was puzzled.
"Is it different?"
"It should be … different, right?"
"More or less." Xu Wenbin waved his hand. "When he comes over later, you can test him and see if he is running out of money.
It is not too late to find a job and go to work. You see, he has a girlfriend and a job. He can go straight to the right track. Tsk, it is not bad thinking about it.
It would be perfect if he could become a civil servant like Little Haowu … "
Zhou Suzhi listened to him ramble on and didn't respond. She was thinking about how to chat with the girl later. Last time, they had a good chat, but they didn't talk about anything. This time, she had to get closer to him.
Hearing the rustling sound of keys opening the door, she didn't wait for the person outside to open the door. She wiped her hands and walked over. When she opened the door, she saw Xu Qing and Jiang He wearing hats and scarves, standing at the door.
Xu Qing was bending over to poke the key. When he saw the door open, he was stunned for a moment. He put away the key and pulled Jiang He in.
"Mom, your house is so warm, much better than mine … Dad."
"En," Xu Wenbin answered with a cup in hand. He sat there and watched Xu Qing help Jiang He take off her scarf and jacket.
"Hello, Auntie, Uncle."
Jiang He greeted them first according to Xu Qing's instructions. Xu Wenbin and his wife treated her much better than when they met Xu Qing. They even gave her a cup of hot tea.
Although he did not have to pay rent, Xu Qing still had to come back once a month to have a meal … to let the couple know that he was not starving to death and was living a good life.
She took Jiang He over to get familiar with them, so that when he confessed his' orphan life ', the couple would object and break them up.
It was always good to get closer to them first.
"You are so free today. Why did you stay at home?"
Xu Qing sat on the sofa and poured himself a cup of water. Then he tossed an orange in his hand. He wanted to eat it, but it was too cold.
"You said we are free?" Xu Wenbin squinted at him.
"Compared to usual times, not me. Can't you dig the ruins in the heavy snow?"
"Of course."
"I can take a break … Mom, what delicious food are you cooking? Let Jiang He help you. "
Xu Qing could not sit still. He got up after a short while. He went to the fridge and the kitchen to find something for Jiang He to do.
"You just wait for dinner."
"I haven't cooked yet. Isn't it faster to help? I'm not bragging, but she is very good at cooking. She has a special talent. You can teach her, and we can cook for ourselves when we go back. "
Listening to Xu Qing's nagging, Xu Wenbin and Zhou Suzhi looked at each other and gave her a look. See, this guy only knows how to show off.
"You really don't need to? We can watch TV if you don't. "
Xu Qing turned on the TV, switched the remote control a few times, sat back on the sofa, and peeled an orange for Jiang He to eat.
The novelty of their first encounter had slowly disappeared these days. Xu Qing had gotten used to the life of two people and a cat. It seemed that it was no different from before — in terms of daily life, they still ate and slept. At most, they could go over and play with the calluses on Jiang He's hand when they were free.
It was the same when they brought her home. Except for the fact that she did not have an ID, Jiang He was no different from an ordinary girl. At most, she looked more quiet, obedient, and did not like to talk.
"Are you still playing with your computer at home?" Xu Wenbin asked as he stared at the TV as if he did not see their little movements.
"No, I changed to another one," Xu Qing said casually.
"Is that what I'm asking?" Xu Wenbin glanced at him and paused. "You bought another one?"
"Yes, I bought another one."
Xu Qing bought a second-hand laptop from Li Gaobo. It only cost him a few hundred yuan to repair the parts. Plus the 800 yuan that he recycled, he brought home more than a thousand yuan. It was almost the same as the one that cost five or six thousand yuan.
"You're determined to do that mess, aren't you?"
"This is called doing double the work." Xu Qing shrugged.
Xu Wenbin snorted and did not speak. Their daily conflicts were about work.
Young people only pursued temporary happiness and did not think about the future at all.
Short-sighted!
After a moment of silence, he glanced at Jiang He and pretended to ask casually, "This … ahem, what is Jiang He doing? Is she also working on the video with you? "
He did not get any information the last time he came. This time, he could not count on Zhou Suzhi again. She was tricked for half a day and ran away just to get a free meal.
"No." Xu Qing simply shook his head and poked Jiang He with his finger to get her to answer.
"I'm working on the VLSI microprocessing system … connecting the modem to the server." Jiang He thought about what Xu Qing taught her and repeated it. "Carrying out high-speed information exchange activities with other information network users."
？？？
Xu Wenbin was stunned. After a moment, he nodded calmly. "… Not bad. Better than this kid."
Although he did not know what kind of job it was, it sounded very professional.
High and mighty.
"That's right, it's very hard." Xu Qing said it as if it was true. He held Jiang He's little hand and squeezed it twice to show encouragement.
Since that day, Jiang He did not resist squeezing or holding hands. As long as he did not scratch her palm, Jiang He would pretend not to see it. Occasionally, she would secretly observe him.
Xu Qing did not know what she was observing. Perhaps she was determining whether he was a pervert?
Anyway, it was better than not letting him hold hands. It was not a bad thing.
"Very hard? What do you usually do? "Xu Wenbin could not help but continue to ask.
"Using a set of structural number keys and letter keys with the vertical and horizontal coordinate positioning indicator of the display system. Through the processing and conversion of the program to complete the interaction with other users."
Jiang He pondered and looked very serious. Xu Wenbin could not help but nod.
Although he did not understand it, it was very reliable.
Young people.
