In the past, Lin Zitan was always guessing Emma's age, and it was very rude to ask the girl's age, but when Lin Zitan took Emma to a restaurant to eat and order wine, he was asked for ID by the waiter, and Lin Zitan saw that Emma was her birthday in July 1985.

Knowing that her age was one year older than herself, Lin Zitan didn't feel inappropriate, not to mention that for him who had lived two lives, there was no problem at all at this age.

"Have you slept?" Lin Zitan's low, magnetic voice sounded in the basement in the dark night, with a faint smile.

"You're a little late today, I've read half a book!" Emma grumbled slightly.

"Ha~ I'm sorry, I went to a party tonight where I couldn't bring a female companion, and I just came back~"

Lin Zitan listened to Emma's coquettish voice, and his mood became even happier.

"You can't bring a party with a female companion, hum~ It must be very pleasant, right? No wonder it's so late~" Emma's voice was a little sour, and Lin Zitan could even imagine her pouting slightly at the moment.

"I haven't even eaten, what's comfortable? I won't go to this kind of party next time, so I might as well chat with you at home!" Lin Zitan said flatteringly.

"There's nothing to eat to chat~" Emma didn't buy it when she heard it, but her tone was a lot more relaxed.

"Then I'm willing to chat with you~ Oh, by the way, I'll go back to my mother's place for dinner tomorrow, do you want to take you with me?" Lin Zitan said tentatively.

"Ah, I want to see my parents, I think it's better not to do it first~" Emma quickly refused when she heard this.

"Why?" said Lin Zitan with a smile.

"Uh... My grandfather said that a wild girl like me, who is not light or heavy, and is used to being free and loose, will definitely not please her parents~" Emma hesitated, but still said the truth.

"How could your grandfather say that! He must have done it on purpose, for fear that you would be snatched away!" Lin Zitan retorted with a smile, but he didn't want to force her.

Lin Zitan also learned not long ago that Emma's mother died when she was 13 years old, and she has been living with her grandfather for so many years.

The next day, Lin Zitan still went back to Long Island by himself, after all, he and Emma had just started to fall in love, and he was not the type who had to let his girlfriend go to meet his parents, nor did he have to be accepted by his parents to dare to fall in love.

Although his relationship with Li Manrui has improved a lot, he is quite independent and assertive when it comes to marriage and love, although he doesn't think Li Manrui will really interfere with him.

A few years ago, Li Manrui didn't urge him to find a partner at all, and after graduating from college, he heard that he and Elsa had separated, not only did he not blame him, but asked him to find an object for the purpose of marriage.

Mike was home when he got home this time, and it looked like he wasn't going to run to reunite with Amanda's family at Christmas.

"Hey, Mike, where's my mom?" said hello to his stepfather as he walked through the door.

"I just took Anne upstairs to change her clothes and apply paint. Mike explained with a smile.

"Brother~" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Anne shouting from upstairs as she ran upstairs.

The little girl is almost 6 years old, and although she was very excited to see her brother, she didn't rush over to hug her, she only held on to the staircase and looked at him excitedly with big eyes.

"Don't give my brother a hug~" Lin Zitan stretched out his hand and said.

"yes!" As soon as the little girl heard her brother's words, she immediately threw aside her reserve and rushed towards Lin Zitan.

"Why did you come back alone? didn't Junjun come with you?" Li Manrui walked down from the stairs elegantly and looked behind Lin Zitan.

"Who?Zhuang Yijun?She didn't contact me!Did you call her?," Lin Zitan hugged Li Annie for a few seconds, and then put her on the ground and replied.

"Why is this girl still reserved, I clearly said that she would contact you and come back together~" Li Manrui frowned slightly, but then was diluted by the joy of her son's return.

Busy asking Lin Zitan about his work, diet and daily life, he asked him to wait for a while, saying that Zhuang Yijun would start eating when he arrived.

。。。。。。。。

Zhuang Yijun arrived at about six o'clock, just in time for Li Manrui's roast chicken to be baked.

"Ouch, you girl, didn't you tell Daniel to pick you up? It's estimated that it's not easy to take a taxi today~" Li Manrui said angrily when she saw Zhuang Yijun.

"It's okay, I came by subway, and there is a car!hehe~" Zhuang Yijun said with a mischievous smile.

"Hurry up and wash your hands and get ready to eat, I'm waiting for you~Daniel~ Come out, Junjun is here. Li Manrui said loudly at Lin Zitan's bedroom.

"Sister~" The first to rush out was Li Annie, this little girl still likes Zhuang Yijun, especially every time Zhuang Yijun comes, she will bring her a small gift.

"Anne come here, see what my sister brought you this time?" Zhuang Yijun squatted down and waited for the little girl to come over.

"What is this?" Li Annie stared at what Zhuang Yijun was holding in his hand.

I saw Zhuang Yijun open a semi-closed small box in his hand, lifted a layer of cloth curtain on it, and inside it turned out to be a super small cage, a snow-white mouse was jumping up and down inside, and her lively and cute appearance immediately made Li Annie laugh.

"Wow, little mouse, mommy look, brother ~ brother look, sister Jun brought me a little mouse ~" Li Annie came out together in Chinese and English excitedly, and she screamed so happily.

"Why did you think of buying this?" Lin Zitan walked out of the bedroom, and saw Li Annie watching the cage jumping and jumping, dancing with her hands, she couldn't be too excited.

"Annie, you have to take good care of the little mouse in the future~" Zhuang Yijun saw Lin Zitan only smiled slightly, and then focused on Li Annie's body again, telling her to feed the little mouse and change the water or something.

"Oh, let's go wash our hands first, she's having fun again, Mike, come over and get ready for dinner." "Today, the nanny is also on holiday, and the whole table of meals is prepared by Li Manrui alone, chicken, duck, fish and seafood, everything, in addition to roast chicken, hot pot is also prepared.

It's rare for a family to use the whole dining table, and it's very warm to gather around.

"Is Junjun returning to China for the New Year?" Li Manrui asked softly while serving vegetables to his son and Zhuang Yijun.

"No, let's go back during the summer vacation~" Zhuang Yijun glanced at Lin Zitan and replied lightly.

"Summer vacation is fine, and your vacation will be a little longer. I originally planned to go back for the New Year, but now it seems that I can't go back~" Li Manrui said with a sigh.

"What's the matter, the restaurant hasn't been negotiated yet?" Lin Zitan took a sip of pork rib soup and looked up and asked.

"Don't mention it, the people who came to see it were all uneducated people from Province F, and there were a lot of requirements for this and that, and one of them looked at the business in the store for a week, and finally told me that it was expensive, really!" Li Manrui said irritably.

"How much did you offer?" Lin Zi couldn't help but ask.

"I was able to do 1780,000 yuan a month last year, and now although it is not as good as before, can I make 1340,000 yuan a month, and the price is more than 1 million?" Li Manrui said unhappily.

"1 million? It's really a bit higher, right? Do you see how long it takes to pay back when you first do it? People invest 1 million, and it will take at least more than two years to return to the capital, and the price is not high?" Lin Zitan said with a smile.

Generally, in the United States, labor accounts for 30%, goods account for more than 30%, plus miscellaneous expenses, at least 30% of the profit must be made to continue.

Li Manrui's restaurant has been open for many years, even if it can make 130,000 yuan a month, it will only make a profit of about 40,000 yuan a month, but such a restaurant needs at least 800,000 yuan.

"I'll just say she's asking for too much, and it's good to sell it for 800,000!" Mike finally couldn't help but speak.
