"Mom and Dad, we're back." After class in the afternoon, joss went home with Jing chihan with vegetables.

Joe's mother is still busy in the kitchen. When she hears the sound from outside, she comes out and sees joss and Jing chihan coming in with things.

In a daze, she wiped her hand on her apron, came over and took the bag: "I didn't say a word in advance, I didn't steam much rice."

"It's OK. I'll help you. By the way, where's my father?"

"You play chess at Uncle sun's house upstairs. His chess is as good as your uncle sun."

Looking at her mother's obviously unwelcome tone, Josephine was happy: "is my dad that bad?"

"Hum." Joe's mother did not say, just looked at Jing zhehan, repeatedly, face worried: "zhehan, how's your health, joss said you were in hospital, said it was eating the wrong thing, not a big problem."

The man's tone is mild: "small things, it's OK, let you worry."

"It's not good, mom. Don't make anything too spicy or exciting at night. His stomach is empty now. I'll go to the hospital tomorrow to know what to do."

Qiao's mother nodded and looked at Jing zhehan's eyes full of love: "it's just that you stewed soup at noon today. You'll drink more and nourish your stomach later."

Jing chihan nodded, polite and modest.

After a while, Joe's father counted the time and came back. When he saw the people in the living room, his eyes suddenly lit up: "here you are."

Jing chihan talks to the old man and talks about men. Jos helps his mother in the kitchen.

The voice could not be heard outside. Joss only heard her mother's words and frowned: "so, Karina is still looking for you these days?"

Joe's mother glared at her: "that's also your cousin. Don't be so small."

"Well, what does that cousin want to do? I can't understand her all the time. Isn't she talking to Jing on behalf of Hans company? Business has come to the end. What else can I do for you? "

"I don't know, but if you can help, help more." Joe's mother has a family concept in her heart. Although her brother and sister are not close to her, the whole family is a family. Blood is thicker than water, and they can't get rid of it anywhere.

Knowing that her mother was soft hearted, she had to come down and plan to have a good talk with Karina one day. After all, she can't keep bothering her parents.

"Why don't you call her over for dinner?" Mother Joe suddenly suggested.

Joyce frowned and didn't want her to spoil the fun. "Don't be late. Maybe they've already eaten it."

"Just ask, if you can't eat it." With that, she wiped her apron and turned out of the kitchen.

Joss chased out, his face was not happy: "Mom, let's just forget it. Isn't it good for us tonight?"

"Your cousin is not your family? Among the younger generation, you two are the closest. "

"I'm the only one who kisses my father's cousins," he said in a low voice

"What did you say?" Mother Joe glared.

Jos shrunk his neck and was afraid to speak.

Joe's mother took the extension to make a call. It was Karina's cell phone. No one answered. She took the phone and went into the kitchen. She was busy mixing seasoning while listening to the phone.

At this time, the pot boiling, she threw the phone to Joss: "you listen, she answered and said to her." Words fall, already in the boiler side busy into a group.

Joss passively answered the phone and stepped back slowly, listening to the tone over there.

"Mom, I don't care if they're not here." Joss groaned.

Mother Joe gave her a look.

Jos shrank his neck and said nothing.

On the other end of the phone, no one answered. The last tone fell. There was no one to answer. She laughed: "no one answered. People must be busy. Don't bother them."

"One more." Mom Joe is very persistent.

With a drooping head and a sigh, Jos continued to call back.

I thought no one would answer this time. I didn't want to ring twice, but I got through.

There is no sound on the receiver, but the background music is noisy.

Jos twisted his eyebrows, took the phone away from his ear, and asked, "Karina, where are you?"

There's still no sound on the other end of the phone, only deafening music.

What is this place? bar?

Jos put down her cell phone and said to her mother, "she's probably out with her friends. Don't look for her."

"Is it?" Mother Joe came up to her ear and asked Jos to put the phone in her ear.

She listened for a moment and frowned. "Karina, I'm my cousin. Can you hear me?"

"Um... Um..." there was a sound of vomiting.

Joe's mother's eyes stopped for a moment, grabbed the phone, and anxiously asked: "Karina, is that you? Hello, Hello, can you hear me? "

Probably thought that there was no signal, Joe's mother still grabbed the mobile phone to change the position all over the kitchen, joss looked at the pot that was already overflowing, quickly took the phone, pushed his mother back: "OK, OK, I'll pick it up, you go and stare at your place."

Joe's mother is not at ease: "you have to hear your cousin's voice, this girl's family, she's alone in a foreign country, if there's any accident, how good."

Jos thought that his mother was really worried. They all said that she was alone in a foreign country and had no grudge against others. What danger could it be.

But she didn't say anything. She just listened to the receiver and called a few times. Seeing that no one was listening, she simply hung up and called again.

This time, it rang for a long time, but a man's voice came from the opposite side: "Hello, are you a friend of this lady? She vomited in the bathroom and fell asleep. Would you like to pick it up? "

Jos's face changed. "Where are you?"

"Sea and sky, Mushan West Road."

After hanging up, joss put the extension back on the phone and asked her mother at the kitchen door, "she was drunk and asleep in the bar. What should I do?"

Joe mother listened to a Leng, a careless, hot oil in the pot hot to the back of the hand.

She took a breath and rushed back.

Joss took his mother's hand and rushed under the tap. He nodded in recognition of his fate: "well, don't be absent-minded. I'll take her back. Mushan West Road is not on our side. You're busy. I'll go."

"No, don't go alone. Let cherhan accompany you." Although Qiao's mother worried about her niece, she was also afraid that her daughter would have something to do with her: "the place like the bar is full of good and bad. You haven't been there. Don't go."
