The Cultivation Of The Maid - Chapter 170
The sky is clear and the wind is warm.
A luxurious boat rides the waves on the clear blue sea, carrying many wealthy tourists to a beautiful island in the distance. On the deck on the second floor, many men and women are in beachwear. They either sit around the railings and admire the sea view, or sit at tables and chairs under clusters of umbrellas and talk and drink champagne.
This season is neither cold nor hot, and the slightly salty sea breeze blowing on the body is really comfortable.
“Chun Lan, I told you already, and we should enjoy more blessings at our age.” On one of the round tables, there was a lady talking to the old sisters who knew each other. In the past, the country has opened up the second child policy to encourage fertility. You still hold on to the thought that women should have lived and died for the family, and lived around the thoughts of their husbands and children all the time. Now that ’s right, it ’s hard to survive those In a poor day, you should consider more for yourself, can you justify yourself if you do n’t eat, drink and play? “
Jiang Chunlan listened to the old sister’s old talk, but also smiled bitterly: “So I didn’t listen to you this time, so I went out to play with you. Xiuqin, I know you are kind, but forgive me, you have all these words Read my ears so soon. “
Yao Xiuqin and Jiang Chunlan’s best friends in the circle. The two have similar life trajectories. They both accompany their husbands from that hard day to the present achievements, and there are many common topics. It ’s just that compared to Yao Xiuqin, she has to live a bit smarter. After becoming a rich wife, she will go out to travel from time to time. When she is free at home, she will call Yao Chunlan to go to the beauty salon, go shopping or play mahjong. Of course, the housework of these people is naturally done by the servants, unlike their old Zhou family …
“Mrs. Yao, the fruit smoothies you two need, please use them slowly.”
Two cups of beautiful smoothie dotted with fruits were gently placed on the table by a pair of plain hands, and the enthusiastic two men subconsciously looked up along those perfect hands.
Compared with the cool beachwear of many tourists on the deck, the girls in front of them are white chiffon shirts on tops and black skirts under the skirts. From the costumes, it can be seen that she and other tourists are completely different in nature. Others are here. Play, she’s here to work. It’s just that the girl’s light skirt material and the ruffled collar skirt corners do not make this work clothes stiff and formal, but integrate into the front of the scene very naturally.
Looking further up, it is a delicate face without flaws that can not see a trace of flaws from any angle. Because of work, the girl combed a bun with her long hair all wrapped in her head, unlike other people or More or less broken hair, she could not find a trace of broken hair at the top of her hair, even if she was wearing a small sea breeze, there was no clutter. All of them were combed clearly to the back of her head, revealing a clean and full Forehead, even the most stubborn obsessive-compulsive disorder can not find the imperfections of this meatball head.
“Chun Lan, you’re really enlightened.” Even if you already knew from the good sisters that the girl was the housekeeper invited by the Zhou family, Yao Xiuqin couldn’t help but admire as he looked around, “I haven’t hired people for more than ten years. It looks so good. It looks like this temperament. You don’t say that I think it’s a lady of thousands of dollars, not a senior steward. “
“I don’t have the talent to bring in such talents as Xiaolu. It is the face of my grandfather. We just follow the light.” Jiang Chunlan’s family knows his own affairs, and even if he brings such a versatile butler as Mei Lu, his personality is still simple. The rich wife was not interested in pretending to be in front of the old sister.
Standing by the side, Mei Lu smiled and listened to the words of the two with frowns. However, an elderly middle-aged wife cannot always change the common problems unique to the Chinese, especially when she sees such an excellent girl in front of her, Yao Xiuqin naturally did not let it go.
“I heard that Miss Melo returned from overseas. She is a graduate of a prestigious school at a young age. Do you plan to return to China for development? If you decide to settle in China, it is easier to settle down as a girl or get married earlier. Auntie There are many good guys, if you have the chance … “
“Cough cough!” The old sister didn’t finish talking, Jiang Chunlan interrupted with a sharp cough. “Xiuqin, Xiao Lu is only 20 years old and still young this year. Where can I say in the future, Do n’t always be addictive as a matchmaker. Xiaolu, we are here to play this time, you do n’t have to follow me all the time, go play for yourself, just take a break. I will call you if I need to, go Go.”
“Okay, ma’am.” Mei Lu nodded to the two as good as she could. “So ma’am, Ms. Yao, I’ll retreat first.”
When the housekeeper left, Ms. Yao Xiuqin took a little precautionary look and withdrew until the person was gone. Then she approached Jiang Chunlan and whispered to the old sister: “I said, what do you think? Just find a housekeeper. Such a young and beautiful girl. I ca n’t turn my eyes away after seeing it, are n’t you afraid that your old week will be hooked? ”
The common troubles of rich wives will never be missing the primary three. Whether the primary three is active or passive, it is inevitable.
Jiang Chunlan understood Yao Xiuqin’s meaning, but because she understood it, she couldn’t help but want to laugh: “You said Xiaolu and my family Zhou? Hahaha!”
If she was a little worried at first, but after seeing the skill of Mei butler, Ms. Zhou said that she thought about everything.
“Xiuqin, let me tell you this. If it weren’t for my father, our Zhou family would not be eligible to invite a steward of this level. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone like Xiaolu became a concubine. Don’t say that to my family. Such a terrible old man in Lao Zhou is ten people who do n’t care much about each other. ”Just saying that the daughters lost their useless work, and then compared with the horrible efficiency of others, Jiang Chunlan was embarrassed to raise it to others,“ They signed an employment contract with our family for only one year and left after one year. “
After listening to Jiang Chunlan’s words, Yao Xiuqin clearly stated that the Zhou family is a small temple and not modest, so he could not retain the meaning of such a high-level talent as Mei Lu, and couldn’t help pouting: “So powerful?”
“Of course! Let me tell you, Xiaolu scared our whole family on her first day …”
Jiang Chunlan began to show off her housekeeper’s strength, from cleaning skills like fairy, to first-class chef skills proficient in cuisines in various places, even beauty skin care, health management … Because she was so impressed, she told her friends as carefully as several family treasures. Now, the old sister’s eyes widened.
While chatting vigorously, the top of the head gradually darkened, and a thunder suddenly sounded in the air, interrupting the leisure of all tourists, including them.
A few seconds later, the heavy raindrops of the bean dropped violently, ending the leisure time on the deck instantly. All the tourists standing outside scrambled, all pouring into the cabin to hide from the rain.
“What’s going on, it was fine before, why did it thunder and rain?”
Many tourists complained, and it was disappointing to come out and encounter this kind of weather. However, it soon became clear that the rainstorm was nothing more than a series of events that followed.
Before the calm sea surface fluctuated due to thunderstorms, tourists could feel the shaking, but it was still within the acceptance range, but after a few minutes, a hull tilt of more than 30 degrees made them unable to accept it. There are many people So he accidentally fell.
What’s going on? Many people are not calm, and the performance of this cruise ship they are riding on is not low. It is impossible to panic when they come here suddenly.
Soon, the guide in charge of the luxury tour came out, and his face was not very good: “I’m sorry everyone, I just got the news from the captain. There was an earthquake in Pearl Island, which we are going to, which caused the surrounding sea area. turmoil.”
earthquake! ?
Many people changed their faces, and Jiang Chunlan was no exception.
“However, the earthquake did not last long, and there were no disasters on Pearl Island!” Before causing more panic, the tour guide immediately soothed, “And we are very close to the pier of Pearl Island, up to ten minutes, No, it will arrive in less than ten minutes! “
The hull is still swaying from side to side, but at this time people can only swear and swear, while counting on the captain to give power, speed up and send them ashore earlier.
Eight minutes later, the cruise boat successfully arrived at the pier, and everyone couldn’t wait to disembark. The boxes and small facilities that were crooked due to the earthquake and waves on the pier made them subconsciously speed up the pace, and rushed to the luxury bus that was waiting on the roadside in the heavy rain on.
“This **** weather! This **** earthquake!”
In the car, many people scolded, and the good mood on sunny days was completely destroyed, so was Jiang Chunlan, who was sitting with friends all over the face with dark clouds.
“The evil gate, it is not the first time I have come to play at Pearl Island. I encountered such heavy rain for the first time.”
“Probably because of the earthquake.”
Some people also said that outside the car window, the rain lines are dense, and the sound of raindrops smashing on the window seems to be crackling. From the inside, the visibility is very low, which is not much better than the heavy fog.
Suddenly, the car suddenly stopped, and many people were caught in the back of the chair, and blame was heard suddenly.
“I don’t want to!” The driver-master was also crying, pointing in front of him in amazement, “Look!”
Everyone looked up and saw a deep road collapse just two meters away from the dense rainstorm. If the driver didn’t notice it, everyone would be unlucky now.
This is a must-go road to the booked five-star hotel. The earthquake cut off the road and suddenly the tourists wanted to go to the hotel for a good rest.
“Don’t worry, although the way to the Helleton Hotel is gone, I still remember a small hotel near here.” The tour guide came out to adjust again. “Now it’s a special situation, we can’t be picky, find a place first Footing is more important! “
That said, you can’t stay stuck in the car all the time.
No, everyone had no choice but to accept the proposal, and the thunderstorm outside the car also upset them.
The bus turned around carefully, and proceeded cautiously against the heavy rain. After two turns, it finally stopped in front of a single hotel.
“… It’s really a small hotel.”
Rich children who used to live in various high-star hotels got off their umbrellas and saw such a budget hotel. Some people were disappointed.
“No way, in a special period, please take care of it.” The tour guide could only laugh so badly, and he was very depressed. He didn’t know how many times the island tour had taken such a thing, or it was a force majeure factor. No complaints.
To this day, I can only pinch my nose to recognize it.
Jiang Chunlan had no idea. She was a hard-earned person. She had not been raised for fault because she had lived a rich life. She got out of the car and entered the hotel with her old sister.
This small hotel is run by a middle-aged couple. When so many guests came, they were a little overwhelmed. One was responsible for registering and issuing room cards to the guests, and the other was providing towels and hot tea to guests who were getting wet in the rain.
The fairly clean and tidy environment and timely service attitude eased the bad mood of many people, but only a little.
“These rooms are too small? This is the deluxe single room?” Looking at the room where she was going to sleep at night, Ms. Yao frowned. “My God, I don’t know how many years I haven’t lived so cheap.” It ’s a small hotel. Look at this sheet, quilt, this kettle, these inferior disposable toothpaste shampoos, oh … ”
“Xingla Xiuqin, let’s just live.” Jiang Chunlan comforted. “The tour guide said that this is a special situation. After this night, we will go back tomorrow.”
“That can only be the case.” Ms. Yao sighed. “I’m sorry, Chunlan, I’m still thinking about taking you out for fun.”
Jiang Chunlan could only pat her friend’s shoulder, and when she was about to comfort her low, Mei Lu came from the door.
“Mrs. Yao.” When the housekeeper came over, she was holding a stack of brand new sleeping bags. “This is a sleeping bag I prepared before I left home. I washed it after I bought it. If you don’t mind, Ms. Yao Please use this. “
The uncomfortable Yao Xiuqin saw her eyes light up: “Thank you, Xiaomei, it’s really a help!” She didn’t believe the sanitary conditions of such a small hotel, and would only choose those brand-star hotels when traveling. , Or luxury suite, letting her sleep on this bed is a torment, now it’s OK.
After subconsciously getting her hand, she hesitated again: “I took it, what should you do?” Since Melo could give her a set, it was naturally prepared for Chunlan. The sleeping bag was taken away by the two of them, and the girl naturally …
“I’m okay.” The other side just smiled. “It’s my duty to share the grief for the host, and your wife’s friend is with her, and I naturally can’t just ignore your problems. If you have been feeling down, My wife will also feel sad. This is my failure. “
“This, how sorry this is …” Yao Xiuqin yelled.
“Just hold it.” Jiang Chunlan immediately said, “Don’t quit, I know how bristly you are in your temperament these years.”
Yao Xiuqin has yet to say. The girl across the street has looked up at the window at the end of the corridor: “And, I have one more thing to tell the two. I am afraid that the traffic failure caused by this earthquake and heavy rain may not be so easy to solve. It is possible that Will stay in this hotel for several days, please be prepared for this. “
As soon as this remark came out, Yao Xiuqin had no reason to refuse, but could only thank him.
“You’re welcome.” The other responded with a smile. “I’m going to clean up the room for my wife, so I’ll be lost.” After that, she left courteously.
Obviously it is an ordinary modern hotel corridor, and under the graceful steps of the girl, it looks like an ancient ornate palace.
Watching her back, not to mention Yao Xiuqin, Jiang Chunlan was also stunned.
“Chun Lan, your housekeeper is really …” Ms. Yao gave a thumbs up.
Jiang Chunlan could not help but smile, and a little proud.
Disastrous island trips are actually a bit desirable.
There is also a restaurant on the first floor of this hotel. After tossing for so long in the rainstorm, everyone is hungry, so even if the dinner prepared by the husband and wife is so unsatisfactory, everyone ca n’t care so much. . The meal was finished frowning, including Jiang Chunlan.
“I hope I can go home tomorrow, don’t be delayed.” Yao Xiuqin said to the old sister when he went upstairs to rest.
In this regard, Jiang Chunlan could only smile bitterly, she thought too, but Xiao Lu’s speculation was more practical, because the rainstorm outside has not stopped till now.
At night, no matter how happy or unhappy, everyone tired after a day lay down and rested. Jiang Chunlan looked at his neat room as if it had been refurbished, but compared to the room of my friend Xiuqin, he was lying in a complicated mood. It’s in a refreshing sleeping bag.
360 lines, which is not easy.
Upstairs, all the guests were asleep, and downstairs, the hotel couple was still busy and did not sleep for the time being.
The boss was relaxed after checking the account with a traditional calculator. When I put down the ledger, the light in the corner of my eye swept over a family portrait on the corner of the table. She and her husband stood left and right, with their beautiful and lovely daughter in the middle. Pretty ponytail, bright red dress, and thin high heels, the girl in the photo looks like a rose just blooming.
Looking at it, the boss’s eyes turned red.
“Thinking again?” The husband’s voice sounded from behind.
The boss’s tears couldn’t stop anymore, and she rushed into her husband’s arms: “Think! I’m crazy! Three years, where did I go? They all said she was dead, but I always think I’ve been there ! We are stupid and never found it! “
“If you can’t find it, you’re alive!” The shop owner affirmed, reaching out and patting his wife’s back, but her eyes were also wet.
As the lights of the boss’s couple’s room on the first floor went out, the whole hotel fell silent, but the sound of heavy rain continued.
Sleeping Jiang Chunlan felt cold for a while.
help me……!
Who can help me?
A girl’s cry of despair passed through the dream, making Jiang Chunlan’s cold sweat on her forehead in her sleep.
Everyone is good … come and save me …
Dad … Mom …
When Jiang Chunlan woke up with tears in her face, it was already the next morning, and she was startled when she appeared in the restaurant with little energy.
“Did you not sleep yesterday or what happened?”
“No.” She just shook her head with a smile on her friend’s question. “It’s … it seems like a nightmare. A girl about my age is asking me for help …”
