Chapter 223 A dinner party with different thoughts
Su Weiyu came late during dinner. When everyone sat down at the table, she moved a chair by herself, and then took out the most delicious hotel meals she packed from outside and put them on the table one by one, saying as she took them out: "I knew Aunt Zhang only had a few dishes to cook, they were too light, so I specially made some other dishes!"
Beef Wellington, French onion veal soup, matcha ice cream and ice cream of various flavors, as well as a large bucket of freshly squeezed juice and iced cola and Sprite.
Su Weiyu was proud of her attentiveness. Her way of pleasing others was relatively simple, that is, giving the other person something they liked, so the first thing she thought of when she got home was that dinner might not be rich enough, and it must be all Chinese dishes. Although the taste must be good, according to her observation, Xia Shou still prefers to eat rich dishes.
So, after playing with the dog for a while, she ran directly to various well-known hotels to grab food, and now she has just returned.
"Awesome! I was wondering why you suddenly disappeared. It turns out you went to pack takeout."
Xia Shou saw the food he liked, stretched his hand across most of the table, carefully reached out to pick up a steak, and then wanted to get up to scoop the soup, but he felt that this was too rude and would not be elegant in the eyes of the two uncles and aunts.
"Let me help you!" Su Weiyu came to Xia Shou, took the bowl and scooped a large spoonful of soup, "What kind of drink do you want?"
"Juice." Xia Shou deliberately lowered his voice, feeling inexplicably nervous and uneasy.
A very strange feeling has always affected him. Although he and Su Weiyu usually get along so casually, now he is at Su Weiyu's house, and it always feels very strange to ask Su Weiyu to help pick up the dishes in front of her parents, even though Xia Shou knows that none of them can see Su Weiyu.
"Brother Xia Shou, why don't you eat? Aunt Zhang's braised pork ribs taste great." Su Yue picked up a chopstick for Xia Shou.
Snap!
Su Weiyu patted Xia Shou's shoulder hard. Xia Shou took out a mirror and looked at Su Weiyu behind him through the reflection.
She was smiling, her eyes sparkling, and she looked as excited as if she had just heard her daughter calling her mother.
"Xiaoyue called you brother! You two have a good relationship. I was a little worried that you two wouldn't get along." Su Weiyu sighed softly and looked at Su Yue, "It's been a long time since I heard her call me sister in person."
"Huh? So it's not in person?" Xia Shou grasped the point sharply.
Su Weiyu tapped her chin lightly and said complacently: "I found a way. Because Xiaoyue has a sister in a TV series, I edited all the clips of her calling her sister in that drama, and sometimes I listen to it."
Xia Shou thought that he would not have asked if he had known earlier. It sounded so pitiful... The key is that Weiyu's happy expression when she said this made people feel even more pitiful.
"Come on, Xia Shou, eat more." Su's mother also picked up some food for Xia Shou.
"Oh, thank you, Auntie. I can do it myself." Xia Shou thanked him while holding the bowl.
Su Zhengyi asked: "Xia Shou, uncle may be a little curious. Can you tell me if anyone in your control bureau has resigned? There are always some people who resign and return to ordinary life due to injuries or personal reasons?"
"A lot. In fact, without some reasons, basically no one will work in the control bureau for a long time.
One of my predecessors said that there are only three types of people who will work in the control bureau for more than three years. One type is people who must rely on organizations such as the control bureau to survive due to abnormal reasons.
One type is people who are very, very short of money.
The other type is a lunatic who can't get used to a peaceful life and is born to be only suitable for this kind of suicidal work."
"Then who are you?" Su's mother stared at Xia Shou expectantly, as if she really wanted to know the answer to this question.
Xia Shou hesitated for a moment, and felt that there was nothing wrong to say, so he said: "I am the first type, staying in the control bureau for some reasons that cannot be said clearly."
Su Zhengyi's eyes darkened instantly. This answer was the answer he least wanted to hear.
He just saw that his daughter was interested in Xia Shou, and from Xia Shou's attitude towards them, he could also see that Xia Shou also had a good impression of Su Yue. Otherwise, it was impossible to explain why a young man who had never met them and whose social status was no less than theirs would be so humble and polite and take the initiative to put himself in the position of a junior.
If the disadvantage of a high-risk job is excluded, Su Zhengyi is very satisfied with Xia Shou, and even the son-in-law in his mind is like this.
The calmness and calmness shown by Xia Shou that day alone are enough to overwhelm 99% of the men in this peaceful society. If the boss of an entrepreneurial business bears one mental pressure every day.
Then the pressure that Xia Shou bears in this job is one hundred.
Bankruptcy and debt are terrible, but compared to death, it is still too light.
He is relieved to hand his daughter to such a man.
But the problem is... Xia Shou's job is too dangerous! The job of a finisher is not an ordinary high-risk job, but more like a lottery to die.
As the dinner progressed, it rained heavily outside as reported in the weather forecast.
Su Yue immediately said, "It's raining hard outside. Does Brother Xia Shou still have a job? If not, stay at my house tonight. There are other empty rooms at home."
Su Zhengyi frowned even more and glared at Su Yue with some displeasure.
What's the big deal about rain? Let his driver take Xia Shou back. From getting on to getting off the car, he will make sure that the boy won't get wet.
But since Su Yue said this, he couldn't object, otherwise it would be like an order to expel him.
"That's troublesome." Xia Shou agreed casually. His attention was all on Su Weiyu's words. She said she would take him to visit her bedroom.
This reminded Xia Shou of the time when he secretly went to his friend's house to play. By visiting the other's bedroom, he could understand the friend's life at home after school. When he saw the other's toys and figures, and the novels he read, he would understand the other person better.
Xia Shou didn't notice at all that everyone present, except himself, had their own thoughts.
Su Weiyu was grateful for the sudden heavy rain, while Su Yue was seriously thinking about how to advance the next plan that had been arranged long ago. Su Zhengyi and Lin Xue were worried about other things.
The dinner ended in such a strange atmosphere. During the break after dinner, Su Zhengyi wanted to have a deep chat with Xia Shou and invited him to sit in the study, but Su Yue said that she wanted to talk to Xia Shou about some work of the Control Bureau, so he had to give up.
"Brother Xia Shou, let's go to the studio to talk. I heard that you seem to be learning painting recently?"
