Chapter 94: Honest people (2)

At eight o'clock in the morning, Xu Zifan's phone vibrated. He turned off the alarm clock, opened his eyes and stretched out, walked to the balcony to breathe in the fresh air for a while, feeling refreshed. The original owner’s job is from 9 to 5, and occasionally he will go to Party A’s company to provide technical support, and sometimes he can work at home or on business trips. Anyway, a computer and internet will do.
This is suitable for him, his old line, in the field of code, he can run freely.
He changed his clothes and finished washing quickly, went to the kitchen to eat a bowl of noodles, then threw the bowl into the sink and left it alone, and went out to work directly with his bag on his back. The original owner did not have a car, so he took a taxi to the company. When that happened, he met a lot of colleagues. He greeted them politely as the original owner did not participate in their small talk.
While waiting for the elevator, he took out his mobile phone and called Wu Xuefei. Wu Xuefei was pinched by Xu Zifan the night before. She was so scared that she couldn't fall asleep after checking sleepwalking on the Internet. She fell asleep at dawn. She was awakened by the ear-splitting ringtone after just over an hour of sleep. Her heart was beating fast, she couldn't breathe, and she took a few deep breaths before she slid her phone to get the call.
"Hello? Zifan?"
Xu Zifan lowered his head and said, "Xue Fei, I was too tired from working overtime yesterday. I got up as early as possible in a hurry. I didn’t cook for you and dad. You get up and order takeaways. By the way, I don’t have time to wash the dishes. Get up and wash them. , Otherwise it is easy to give birth to cockroaches."
Wu Xuefei couldn't believe her ears, frowned and sat up, "What? Wash the dishes?"
"Yes, when you cook, you can’t do anything else. Washing dishes is easy. I read the Internet saying that you have to move more during pregnancy, or you will have difficulty giving birth. I think about it, you don’t have much chance to move, just in the future. Just take care of washing dishes and cleaning the house, but don’t give birth."
"You, didn't you say that you would always treat me nicely before getting married? To be good to me is to let me have children at home and do housework? What do you mean? You still have a difficult childbirth, do you only care that the child does not care about me?"
Xu Zifan's microphone was adjusted to its maximum. The dozen or so people waiting for the elevator heard him, and they all looked at him curiously and sympathetically. Xu Zifan saw the elevator open and said, "I'm going to get into the elevator. Hang up first. Don't lose your temper. I just cook breakfast every day and work overtime and go back to do the housework until midnight. It's a bit unbearable. You don't have to do much at home. Isn’t it okay to live, just as an activity? Okay, I’m already in the elevator and hung up."
"Hello? Xu Zifan! Hello?!" Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Wu Xuefei got up and opened the door and went out to the kitchen. As expected, the bowls, chopsticks and pots were not washed. She didn't like Xu Zifan, how could she wash the dishes for him? Immediately he was very angry. She called Xu Zifan, but Xu Zifan's phone number was not in the service area, and there was nowhere to go out if she was angry.
When she returned to the living room and saw the broken glass in a place, she became even more angry. Xu Zifan didn't even sweep the glass when she woke up in the morning. What was going on? What do you mean? Why does she have a feeling of losing control?
Xu Zifan's colleagues waited for Xu Zifan to hang up and asked him, "Xu Zifan, did you call your girlfriend just now? Do you have kids?"
Xu Zifan showed a shy smile like the original owner, and said embarrassedly: "I'm already married."
"Are you married?" Several colleagues moved to his side and looked at him in surprise, "When did we get married? Why didn't we notify us to attend the wedding?"
"Something happened to my father-in-law at the time of the wedding, and everyone was not in the mood to have a wedding banquet, so I didn't say it. Now my father-in-law is out, and my wife's pregnancy is not stable, so I just said wait until the child is full of the moon." Xu Zifan Slightly lowered his head and said.
"Okay, you are fast enough. I had a blind date a while ago. Now I have a wife and children, cow!"
"You ran ahead of me. I got married last year and I have no children yet. Congratulations."
"Huh? What does it mean that your father-in-law came out? Could it be that he, his accident... was arrested?"
The colleagues smiled and said joy to Xu Zifan. Suddenly a female assistant thought of something wrong in his words and asked in surprise. Xu Zifan's expression changed, as if annoyed that he had said something wrong, he lowered his head and stepped back to the side, and said in a low voice, "Nothing."
The honest person can't speak, and doesn't understand the explanation. His reaction was too normal, but it made everyone in the elevator be sure that his father-in-law was arrested. Moreover, the father-in-law was arrested and even the wedding banquet was not held. It seems that this case is not small.
It just so happened that the elevator arrived, Xu Zifan walked out of the elevator with his bag lowered and walked quickly to sit down at his desk. Others look at each other, and it's not good to ask more, but they are curious in their hearts, and they are itching to know gossip.
Xu Zifan turned on the computer and put the phone aside. He blocked the numbers of Wu Xuefei and Wu Lidong. They didn't want to contact him. To destroy a person, you have to start from all aspects together. This is only the first step. Let others know them and make them uncomfortable. It will only accumulate step by step to make them suffer to the extreme. He is very patient, of course, provided that they can't disturb him.
The work arranged by the company was not difficult for Xu Zifan, and he quickly finished the work and handed it in. The manager was a little surprised that his work efficiency had improved so much. Xu Zifan smiled embarrassedly: "I want to work hard so that my wife and children can live a good life. Maybe I have more responsibility and more motivation to do things."
The manager looked at him and said with a smile: "You always work overtime these days. I thought you were having trouble with your work, but it seems not."
"I'm sorry, the manager, I thought about it before. I just want to work overtime to earn more overtime pay. I won't be able to work overtime. I can maintain my work efficiency."
The manager likes motivated people very much, and he encourages him to say this: "Young people don’t be impatient, I think you are honest, and you don’t usually have much entertainment. With your salary, it’s easy to save money. In the past few years, you There should be some savings too? It’s still to be done when raising the children and spending money, don’t rush for success, be steady to go further."
Xu Zifan's expression was stiff, hesitated and said awkwardly, "Manager, before... something happened at home and all savings were spent. I, I actually want to apply with you today... Can I advance my salary this month? ?"
The manager really showed a surprised expression this time. After six years of working together, he still knows the family situation of his employees. As far as he knew, Xu Zifan's family was in good condition and he was able to save money. This... suddenly it was all spent? What happened to the family?
He pushed his glasses and said, "Of course you can pay one month in advance. If you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me and see if I can help you."
Xu Zifan smiled and waved his hand: "No need for the manager, my monthly salary is enough to support my wife and father-in-law. As long as this month passes, it will be fine. If possible, I hope the manager will give me more opportunities. When I am studying and charging, I feel that the technology is better than before. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely work hard."
The manager nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, don't worry, I can see your performance, keep working hard."
"Good manager, then I'm going out."
Xu Zifan returned to his work station, and within a few minutes, the colleague opposite him said to him: "Zifan, you can help me with something, I can't be too busy."
Xu Zifan looked up at him. This person often asked the original owner to help, or other people in the department would occasionally ask the original owner to help, because the original owner didn't know how to refuse and was easy to talk. But he has no interest in "helping others", frowning embarrassedly at his colleagues, "I'm sorry, the manager just talked to me, I have to strengthen my skills, no time."
The colleague was surprised and said: "Aren't you working overtime after work? You can help me when you work overtime. You can use it tomorrow."
Xu Zifan opened the phone memo and quickly wrote a lot of things on it. The colleague didn't wait to answer, and said impatiently: "I sent you an email, did you see it?"
Xu Zifan shook his head, "I didn't look at it. I'm looking at my notebook. I can't work overtime anymore. There are too many things after get off work."
"What's the matter? You don't want to help me?" The colleague was rejected by him for the first time, feeling unhappy, got up and looked at his mobile phone, frowned and said, "Buy groceries at 6:30 and go home to cook, at 8 o'clock. Clean the room, read and learn technology at 9:30, clean up the bathroom for Xue Fei and father-in-law at 10:30? Wash clothes at eleven, go to bed at twelve, and get up at six to cook?"
The colleague even forgot to get angry when he saw this, and was shocked: "Xu Zifan, you wouldn't say that this is all you want to do? Cooking, washing clothes, washing dishes, and doing housework? Isn't this all women's work?"
Several colleagues in the office looked over when they heard it, and a eldest sister next to him said, "Why are women doing this? Now men and women are equal, and housework should be split equally, okay?"
"No, this is called flat spreading? This is because Xu Zifan has done everything he can?"
"Don't talk about anything else, what the is that cleaning up the bathroom for father-in-law? What do you mean?"
Xu Zifan turned off his mobile phone and saw that they were all around, suffering from a mild social phobia, moved aside, leaning on the work station, and said uncomfortably: "That's... Xue Fei and her father took a bath. I have to watch TV for a while. They don’t know how to do housework, so I have to clean up both bathrooms, otherwise it’s too damp. Sheffield said that dampness affects health and is prone to bugs."
"Oh my god, the bathroom just drags the floor, your father-in-law really asked you to do this for him? This fool can do it?"
"Xu Zifan, you are too honest, have you never heard of being bullied? Filial piety is not so filial to your father-in-law. You have started this now, and you will be allowed to do everything in the future, and you will feel better."
"Listen to the elder sister's advice, I'm here, you really can't do it. If you develop a habit, you won't be their nanny? You have to serve them for a lifetime."
Xu Zifan looked at them, "Then...what should I do? I said today that Xue Fei would do some housework. She seemed to be angry."
Several people heard the call he was waiting for the elevator in the morning, and it has been quietly spread by now. The eldest sister hates iron but does not make steel: "If she is angry, you will compromise? You are used to her! I tell you, men and women are equal, and it is necessary for men to share housework, but women can't be used to her if they are too pretentious! Just be tough, and divide the housework into half. If she doesn't do it, just ask her, do you want to pass it?"
