Chapter 364: Preaching to Meng Ya
Chapter 364: Preaching to Meng Ya
I have to say that Mengya really forgot about what he had just been taught a lesson by Meiya. The next day he was still the same, lying in bed and refusing to get up.
"This girl!" Meiya shouted for a long time but there was no response. She ran upstairs angrily and opened the door. Sure enough, she was still sleeping!
"Really? Why are you still sleeping?!" Meiya opened the curtains and the sunlight suddenly came in. Mengya faced the sunlight and subconsciously covered her head with the quilt.
"Mengya! It's late, you should get up! You can't be lazy all day just because you don't have a job!" Meiya looked at her like this and suddenly felt very disappointed with her. She pulled away Mengya's quilt and then lifted the bedding underneath her.
Mengya rolled to the corner and hit the wall with a bang.
“…It hurts~”
"It's such a hot sun, you should take the quilt out to dry! You should also clean your room. Look, does this look like a girl's room? It's so messy!" Meiya said as she looked around and complained.
(But this is still quite similar... I have seen worse ones, with almost no place to step...)
"Ah! Devil!" Mengya grabbed her head and shouted, but under Meiya's pressure, she still put the quilt on the balcony to dry in the sun, but she also lay down on the balcony and fell asleep.
Meiya went downstairs to clean the street outside her house. The aunt next door came over and saw Mengya on the balcony and shook her head: "Mrs. Nohara."
"Ah, hello."
"Your sister still lives in your house?" The two of them looked up at the balcony. Meiya's mouth twitched. This conspicuous bag was just lying on the balcony.
"There's nothing we can do. She hasn't found a new job yet." Meiya said with a smile.
"Oh, yes. Do you want me to bring you some blind date photos? Your sister should be old enough by now." The aunt suggested.
"This..." Meiya thought about it and decided to reject the aunt's kindness. In Mengya's current condition, it would be better for her not to harm other people.
After finishing the conversation with the aunt, Meiya cleaned the street and went into the house to clean.
After lying down for a while, Mengya felt it was too hot, so he got up and went downstairs to find some snacks from the refrigerator.
"Well, there's yogurt. I'm going to eat it." Meng Ya said casually, took it out and turned to leave.
"Wait." Meiya called her.
"Ah?" Meng Ya turned his head in confusion.
"Well, take this and have a look." Meiya pointed at several books on the table that looked like those about job hunting.
"Ah? Should I read this?" Mengya's mouth twitched as he looked at these books.
"Yes, you should take a look at these books."
"Okay, let's do it later." After dealing with it, Mengya went to the living room to eat.
"..." Meiya sighed as she looked at the book on the table.
After Mengya finished eating, she climbed upstairs again under the speechless gaze of Mingxu and the others.
"She can really stay." Mingxu complained.
"That's right. No one goes out to play." Xiaoxin also shook his head.
After cleaning, Meiya looked at Guangzhi. She felt that Guangzhi had to go and teach Mengya a lesson.
"Hey, husband."
"Ah?" Guangzhi looked at Meiya with a puzzled look.
"You should also talk to Mengya and ask her to find a job. She quit her previous job at the library and she can't stay like this now." Meiya looked at Guangzhi and said seriously.
"Ah? You want me to go? I'm not good at this kind of thing, why don't you go?" Guangzhi shook his head.
"It's because she doesn't listen to me that I ask you for help. You go and talk to her, I think she will listen to you more or less." Meiya said seriously.
"Well, you're an adult now, you should be able to figure it out on your own, so don't worry too much." Guangzhi said casually while looking at the book.
"Maybe if you go and talk to him, it will have some effect. After all, you are the male host here." Mingxu raised his head and said.
"Ah? No, please." Guangzhi looked reluctant.
"Although I don't want to say it, my family's expenses have increased a lot since she came here." Meiya rolled her eyes at Guangzhi.
"Ah? It's okay, right?"
"Honey, you know, since Mengya came to our house, we now have twice as much beer as usual." Meiya said what Guangzhi was most concerned about.
"Ah?!" Guangzhi was stunned. She hadn't noticed this yet. Wouldn't her beer be reduced in this way?
"I'm not kidding you. If you continue like this, I'll have to reduce your beer intake." Sure enough, Misaya said what Hiroshi was worried about.
"Oh, okay, I will definitely convince her, using the way of speaking that I learned in business." Guangzhi shook his head. He didn't want the amount of beer to be reduced!
"Ah? Ventriloquism? Dad can do ventriloquism?" Shin-chan asked, looking up.
"Ah?" Mingxu also looked up. Did he mishear?
"That's right, leave it to me, there's nothing I can't do." Guangzhi pretended to learn.
"Dad, you're so boring." Mingxu rolled his eyes at him and complained.
"Okay, it's not ventriloquism, it's just a speaking technique," Hiroshi explained.
"Oh." Xiao Xin nodded, and then asked: "Then, what are the skills of speaking?"
"..."
"For example, making the other person interested in the way you speak is a speaking skill," Mingxu said simply.
"Bingou, Xiaoxu is right, but the other party must not only be interested in what you say, but also agree with what you say." Guangzhi nodded.
"Oh, that's what I want to say, making her go around in circles." Xiaoxin nodded.
"What you said seems to be a little bit wrong?" Mingxu felt something was odd.
"What you said is more like a lie."
"Oh, I was wondering what was weird." Mingxu suddenly realized.
"Then let us see your methods."
"Leave it to me." Guangzhi patted his chest and said.
So, Guangzhi, followed by two followers, came to Mengya's room. He had two bottles of beer in his hand, while Mingxu and Xiaoxin had a bottle of juice in their hands, and they also took a plate of peanuts.
"Bang, bang, bang, can I come in?"
"can."
"Mengya, do you want to have a drink together?" Guangzhi asked with a smile.
"Ah? Sure." Mengya nodded.
"Here, some snacks." Mingxu put down the peanuts.
"I still have some cheese here." Shin-chan took it out from his pants and said.
"..Why did you put it there..." Guangzhi took it speechlessly.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's not even three seconds yet." Xiao Xin said indifferently.
"It's hot...it's already exceeded." Guangzhi said speechlessly.
"6." Mingxu gave a thumbs up. This kid's way of hiding things was really unique.
"Puff." Mengya opened a bottle of beer and started drinking.
“...” Seeing this, several people opened their glasses and started drinking.
Guangzhi looked at Mengya, wondering how to start the conversation.
"Well, how have things been lately?" Guangzhi asked after thinking for a long time.
"..This is such an unexpected beginning." Mingxu blinked.
"What else can I do? My kids are naughty, my wife is sarcastic to me, and my feet are smelly. None of these things are... wuwuwu~" Shin-chan's mouth was covered before he could finish his words.
"No one will think you're dumb if you don't speak." Mingxu covered Xiaoxin's mouth and stuffed a few peanuts into his mouth.
"Hmm, delicious." Xiao Xin said while chewing peanuts.
"..." Mengya continued drinking beer.
"Time has passed quickly recently. Another week is almost over." Guangzhi continued, but Mengya did not respond and continued drinking.
"...Well, the World Cup is about to begin. Once it starts we will have to watch TV and won't get enough sleep..." Guangzhi said awkwardly.
"Dad, you've strayed from the topic." Mingxu complained.
"Ah~" Guangzhi sighed.
"Brother-in-law, you were asked by my sister to come here to preach." Meng Ya suddenly said.
"Ah. No, I'm not here to preach to you. I'm more like here to persuade you." Guangzhi shook his head.
"Then you should just say it directly! Don't talk nonsense!" Mengya pointed at Guangzhi's nose and shouted.
"Mengya, this is rude." Mingxu rolled his eyes at Mengya and said, "And dad, how did she take over?"
“…” Guangzhi was speechless.
"Oh~" Meiya, who was eavesdropping outside the house, also sighed.
"Xiao Xu is really something." Meng Ya also puffed up his cheeks: "Brother-in-law, just tell me if what I said is right or not?"
"..right."
"Besides, you are too obedient to your elder sister." Meng Ya continued to criticize.
"..." Guangzhi took a sip of beer.
"But Meng, now that things have come out, what do you think now?" Mingxu asked helplessly when he saw that Guangzhi was unreliable.
"Ah, as for me..." Meng Ya shook the beer bottle: "Brother-in-law, what is your dream?"
"Ah, my dream. When I was a child, I wanted to become a professional baseball player. Later, I wanted to become a pilot and fly everywhere." Guangzhi said with a smile.
"What happened next?" Mingxu asked.
"Later, those dreams disappeared unnoticed. As I grew older and economic growth progressed, I faced the realities of this society one after another. Those dreams also faded from reality." Guangzhi took another sip of beer and said with nostalgia.
"People's dreams always change." Mingxu said, looking outside the house.
"Now I think our society is really unable to allow children to embrace their dreams." Unexpectedly, Xiaoxin also said a profound truth.
"...How old are you?" Guangzhi's mouth twitched. These two little guys!
"Without a dream, I would have no motivation to work." Meng Ya said with his head down.
"Indeed." Guangzhi also lowered his head.
"But even so, life is still full of ups and downs." Mingxu said with a smile.
"That is to say, living together with family, sometimes laughing, sometimes quarreling, always full of vigor, no matter what happens, there is always someone to accompany you. Such a life should be my dream now, and I am working hard for this dream. Now I don't feel happy." Guangzhi smiled.
"Then Mengya, do you still want to pursue your dream?" Mingxu looked at Mengya and asked again.
"My dream..." Mengya murmured.
"Think about it carefully." Mingxu took Guangzhi and Xiaoxin out, leaving Mengya to think on her own.
Mengya looked at the scenery outside the window and sighed.
