When the husband and wife went to Xiaoxiao's kindergarten to pick her up from school, Gong Qingchen received an email from the organizing committee of the painting competition that Xiaoxiao had participated in before, saying that the proceeds from the sale of paintings in Xiaoxiao's participation in the art exhibition had been remitted to them through the bank.

"What do you want to do with this money?" Gong Qingchen asked his daughter casually, "It's a lot of money!"

Xiaoxiao did not hesitate: "Deposit it in my education fund!" Last time she took money from the fund to donate money to Huo Xiaoran's foundation, this deficit has never been made up, she remembers it.

"Is there any other use?" Gong Qingchen asked again.

Xiaoxiao thought about it seriously and said tentatively, "Then I invite you to dinner with Uncle Ji?"

"Don't make excuses for eating junk food yourself!" Ji Yunyang smiled in the driver's seat, "If you want to invite us to dinner, you have to listen to us for what you eat." ”

"I didn't want to eat junk food!" Xiaoxiao said unconvinced, "You have the final say, Uncle Ji drives!"

It was rare for her to say so generously that she didn't want to eat junk food, Ji Yunyang and Gong Qingchen couldn't help but laugh and found a vegetarian restaurant with a good reputation.

Xiaoxiao sat down and looked at the menu, and her little face began to become unhappy, and the pictures on it were all green vegetables, and she had no appetite when she saw it.

Gong Qingchen secretly observed her face, secretly amused in his heart, and reminded her: "But what you said, we have the final say on what to eat, and we can't go back on our word!"

"Okay, okay!" Xiaoxiao said stiffly, no matter how reluctant she was, "You can order whatever you want!"

The waiter standing on the side saw that she was a small one, but insisted on making an adult, and couldn't help laughing, she stepped forward and stood a little, pointed to the menu in Xiaoxiao's hand and said: "Children, there is our children's set menu at the end, although it is vegetarian, but there are also a variety of different flavors." ”

Xiaoxiao saw that she was kind, so he chatted with her: "Is there any french fries then?"

Ji Yunyang and Gong Qingchen glanced at her, they just said that they wouldn't eat junk food, and now they have to get up to fry French fries, they really don't have any memory.

The waiter looked at the expressions of the two parents and said with a smile: "There are no french fries, but we have super delicious mashed potatoes." ”

"That's okay too. Xiaoxiao nodded like an adult and said, "I want two portions of mashed potatoes." ”

"You can't just eat mashed potatoes. Gong Qingchen gave her a stern look, and then said to the waiter: "A children's menu, plus a piece of mashed potatoes." ”

The two of them ordered the food they wanted to eat again, and then asked the waiter to pass the food.

"Mom, why don't you like meat?" smiled at Gong Qingchen, and finally asked the question he had been asking all along, "The vegetables don't taste at all, and they are still stuffed with teeth!"

Gong Qingchen was speechless for a while, she really didn't feel that she didn't like meat, but she was not usually a picky eater.

"It's not that my mother doesn't like meat, but she pays attention to balanced nutrition. Ji Yunyang relieved Gong Qingchen and said, "Moreover, the mother has a baby in her belly, and it is good for the baby to eat more nutritious things." ”

As soon as he said the baby, he smiled and looked at Gong Qingchen's belly, and after a while, she said puzzledly: "Mom's belly is still flat." ”

"The baby is still growing!" Gong Qingchen patted her head and asked, "Do you want to go to the hospital with your mother tomorrow to see what the baby looks like now?"

Xiaoxiao of course agreed, because although her mother and Uncle Ji said that her mother was pregnant, there was no sign at all, and she still had doubts in her heart.

After a while, the dishes ordered by the family of three came up, except for the children's set meal with a smile, the rest were the appearance and taste of vegetarian dishes made into meat dishes.

Xiaoxiao looked at Uncle Ji and his mother's meal, and then looked at the children's meal in front of him, sighed like a little adult, picked up a small spoon and dug a mouthful of mashed potatoes into his mouth.

Gong Qingchen put a chopstick mushroom into his mouth, nodded, many vegetarian restaurants in order to make up for the shortcomings of the vegetarian dish is not enough to taste, will choose to put a lot of seasonings to bring out the delicious taste, this is a different way, with the umami of the ingredients themselves outstanding.

It's rare for her to have such an appetite after she is pregnant, and she can't stop eating one bite at a time, Ji Yunyang is also happy when she looks at it, and plans to order delivery from this restaurant in the future.

The family of three was enjoying dinner, Xiaoxiao suddenly pulled Gong Qingchen's clothes, pointed to another corner of the restaurant, and shouted, "Mom, it's Aunt Xia." ”

"Are you wrong?" Gong Qingchen didn't believe it, she looked in the direction of Xiaoxiao as she spoke, and she really saw a figure that seemed to be Xia Danqing's back, and then looked at the person opposite the person, it was Ji Mingyang, now it was confirmed, it must be Xia Danqing.

Under Gong Qingchen's instructions, Xiaoxiao ran over and called Xia Danqing over.

"What a coincidence!" Xia Danqing was also pleasantly surprised, she sat down next to Gong Qingchen and said with a smile on her face, "It's rare for us to find a high-end restaurant to have a good meal, and we actually met you." ”

"It's called the narrow road. Gong Qingchen said with a smile, "The two of you have developed well, and you dare to come here for dinner." ”

"Okay, I sent the final edited version to the editor today, and the publication date has just been set. Xia Danqing said happily, "So I took my little assistant out today to celebrate." She said, and also patted the back of the famous next season, a leader's posture.

Ji Yunyang looked at Ji Mingyang, he had been away from home for almost a month, he looked a little thinner, but he was in good spirits, and the smile on his face had not broken, especially when he looked at Xia Danqing, his eyes seemed to be able to drip honey.

Seeing Ji Yunyang looking at him, Ji Mingyang smiled at them and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, you have to worry about me these days." "When it comes to talking, I'm a little sensible, and I look like an adult.

Gong Qingchen glanced at him approvingly, nodded, and silently thought in his heart that he would never be able to call him a little idiot in the future.

After briefly talking about each other's recent situation, Xia Danqing looked at Gong Qingchen's stomach curiously and asked her, "How many months has it been?"

"It's been almost three months. Gong Qingchen smiled, "I'm going to have a prenatal checkup tomorrow." ”

Xia Danqing curiously reached out and touched her belly, only to feel that there was nothing else at all, just a normal person's stomach.

"Prenatal checkup?" Ji Mingyang on the side was very surprised, he looked at Ji Yunyang and asked, "Sister-in-law is pregnant?"

"I don't know. Ji Yunyang said indifferently, "You'd better not talk too much." ”

Ji Mingyang was a little hurt by his attitude, and nodded silently.

Gong Qingchen was a little surprised, she thought that since Ji Mingyang had found Xia Danqing and the two were still living together, there would be no secrets between them even if the relationship was basically confirmed, but she didn't expect Xia Danqing to even tell him these things.

Xia Danqing saw her thoughts and winked at her playfully, meaning, the relationship between the two of us, what to say and what not to say, I still have a number in my heart.

When the four adults spoke, they inevitably ignored the smile, she tried to interject several times but failed, she was so depressed that she pursed her lips, and finally got Xia Danqing's attention.

"I heard from your mother that Xiaoxiao is very good now, not only did she participate in the competition and win awards, but she also made a lot of money selling paintings. Xia Danqing looked at Xiaoxiao with a smile and said, "Auntie is really happy for you." ”

"Then you won't come to see me. Xiaoxiao pouted unhappily, "Don't call me either." Mom and Uncle Ji are very busy with work every day, so I can only play with Maomao. ”

The little person's face wrinkled, and it was distressing to look at it. Xia Danqing hurriedly held her in her arms and comforted her for a while, and finally said: "Auntie was also busy a while ago, and now that she is busy, I can play with you well." Which kindergarten are you in now, and I'll send you to school tomorrow, okay?"

Xiaoxiao nodded, with a smile on his face, and picked up another untouched mashed potato and fed it to Xia Danqing.

Gong Qingchen, who was on the side, looked at the two of them with a happy forehead, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and said, "Sure enough, you brought it up, and it was with you." ”

Xia Danqing held a smile in her arms, looked up and smiled at Gong Qingchen, looking at her jealous face, she couldn't help but laugh: "You didn't have time to take care of the children before, and now you are jealous that I have a good relationship with Xiaoxiao." But what are you busy with?"

Gong Qingchen's work was too diligent, and he didn't tell Xia Danqing in detail what he was doing now, and when he heard her ask, he glanced at Ji Yunyang. said with a smile: "Now I am messing around under Mr. Ji's hands, doing miscellaneous work and making a vase or something." ”

"Yo, are you going to make vases again?" Xia Danqing mocked mercilessly, "You haven't done enough in the first five years, have you?"

Gong Qingchen had long been accustomed to her way of speaking, and he didn't take it to heart at all, but Ji Yunyang couldn't listen to it, and said: "Qingchen is now the planning director of Ruyi Entertainment, and the two of us work together, and we have recently been screening suitable scripts for its artists. ”

Xia Danqing glanced at him, a little strange: "You two really went to work together again? Can your father watch it?"

"My dad can't take care of my brother now. Ji Mingyang knew about this, he said, "My mother secretly called me and said that my dad was thunderous at home every day, but my brother just didn't listen to him." ”

"Then do you listen to him?" Xia Danqing asked again.

Ji Mingyang's face flushed: "If I listened to him, how could I still be here now!"

The three people present all laughed, and Ji Mingyang was even more embarrassed by the laughter.
