It was only three o'clock in the afternoon when I returned to the company, and Comrade Bingshan waved his hand, saying that I had a hard business trip with Xingxing, and we could go home early to rest. In my hand, I was stuffed with a bag of local products from Q City, which is said to have been specially prepared by Mrs. Sheng for me and Bingshan, one bag per person.

"Mr. Ye, how embarrassing is this, Mrs. Sheng must have misunderstood, so she prepared it for me. I symbolically excused myself, and my eyes quickly swept over the beautifully packaged souvenir gift boxes, including prawns, abalone, sea crabs, and small dried fish......

"Take it, I can't finish it alone anyway. Without raising the head of the iceberg, he began to review the documents that had already accumulated into small mountains.

"Since that's the case, then I'm welcome!" I happily mentioned a bag full of souvenirs, and said very sincerely: "Thank you, Mr. Ye, bye, we'll see you tomorrow!"

It's rare to get off work so early, and I'm in a happy mood, so I dialed Comrade He Maomao's phone: "Maomao, do you have a class today, I'm already off work, let's go to your house for dinner tonight."

"Xiao Yan, you're back! great!" Mao Mao's signature soprano screamed on the phone: "Okay, okay, I'll immediately notify Ah Fei to cook a big meal for you!"

"Maomao, when do you get off work, do I go directly to your house, or come to the school to wait for you?"

"I don't have classes in the afternoon, you can go!" The sound of ping-pong appeared on the phone, and it seemed that Maomao, who was extremely mobile, had already packed her things and was ready to flash, she continued: "Where are you now, I'll pick you up by car!"

"It's at the door of the company. "It's good to have a car, and it seems that I should also practice my driving skills, since I took the driver's license test in my freshman year, I haven't touched a car until now.

Mao Mao didn't make me wait too long, and before I could think about what I wanted to eat tonight, Mao Mao's red beetle stopped in front of me.

"Xiaoyan Xiaoyan, you're finally back, you're not here these days, I'm almost bored to death!" Mao Mao stepped forward to give me a bear hug, and swept to the souvenir I was carrying, and said excitedly: "What are you polite to me, buy so much!" Having said that, Comrade Mao Mao unequivocally took the bag, threw it into the trunk neatly, and sighed: "You, you are honest, I said to you casually at the time, you really brought so many things back, did you carry it the way?"

Actually, it's not hard at all, because I just took these things over from the big iceberg. If Maomao knew that I didn't buy these gifts for her at all, would she kick me off the Beetle right away?

"Maomao, what are we going to eat tonight?" The best way to escape the condemnation of conscience is to change the subject.

Ah Fei said that it was too late to prepare for anything else, so let's eat hot pot tonight. Mao Mao parked the car in front of the supermarket and said, "Let's go buy some food first, what do you want to eat?"

"Beef, mutton, pork belly, duck intestines, chicken gizzards, shrimp slippery ......" I began to imagine the taste of these ingredients in the hot pot, it must be delicious!

"It's really a carnivore, could it be that you have been a monk for a few days on a business trip?" Mao Mao shook his head helplessly, and dragged me towards the carnivorous area.

"No, I had a fever two days ago and went to the hospital for two days. I hugged Maomao's arm and complained pitifully: "You don't know how pitiful I am, I really drank white porridge for two days, and I didn't even see a little cabbage......"

"Oh my God, your president is so funny, even the hospital is willing to let you live, and he is reluctant to help you buy a plate of cabbage to eat?" Mao Mao looked disdainful, obviously thinking that Da Bingshante would not settle accounts.

Why does this sound so awkward?
