After work, Director Chen took Zhu Xiaolan and was about to go to find Lin's mother, Zhang Xiu secretly said to Zhu Xiaolan, "Xiaolan, you pay attention to yourself, eat with two old ---- women, you have to be careful when you talk!"

Zhu Xiaolan nodded, and secretly made up her mind to eat more and talk less tonight, and talk less and make fewer mistakes!

Director Chen also explained along the way, "Xiaolan, my old sister is the most enthusiastic and generous, but she also seems to be less thoughtful. Don't mind if there's anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, she's all kind. Just look at the way she looks so big!"

Zhu Xiaolan nodded, in fact, she felt that Mother Lin's personality was obviously much better than her mother's personality, at least there was anything that Mother Lin said directly, but her mother was holding it in her heart and then making others uncomfortable with nagging and tantrums.

Mother Lin didn't want her son to get involved in tonight's affairs, so she found a Chinese restaurant near her home.

When Lin Lao saw the two of them get off the bus, he immediately went up to talk to Director Chen affectionately, and the two of them made love for a long time before leading Zhu Xiaolan to the restaurant. When ordering, they pushed again, and in the end, the two old men insisted on letting Zhu Xiaolan order, Zhu Xiaolan carefully flipped through the menu, and ordered a squirrel fish, a back pot meat, a stir-fried vegetarian dish, and a sauerkraut vermicelli soup. Mother Lin was very satisfied when she saw it, nodded straight, and Director Chen's heart was half relieved.

Waiting for the food to come up, Mother Lin said, "I've been here for a while, and I'm not used to life in a big city, so I have to take a car wherever I go." When I was in my hometown, the county seat was on the edge of the Yangtze River, and I could go for a walk at night. Even if it's a little farther away, there are rickshaws, and you can go around the city for two dollars!"

"Old sister, alas, where do young people like such a small place. There aren't many job opportunities!" Director Chen advised.

"yes, that's what I thought, too. We're getting older. I only retire in the old city, eat and drink safely, and maybe I can live longer!"

Zhu Xiaolan's heart moved, does this mean that she will not have to live with her mother-in-law in the future? But she can't ask directly, she only looks up at Director Chen. Director Chen was a spiritual person, and hurriedly asked, "Then you won't live with Shengjie in the future?" Isn't your biggest wish in the past to live with your son and raise your little grandson?"

Mother Lin waved her fat fingers and sighed, "The garden here is really stingy, and there are not many trees." The park is also crowded, let alone submitted. The old man. As soon as I came, I stayed in the house and didn't move, saying that the card friends weren't here, which was boring! How many years will you have to live like this, and people will not be suffocated to death?"

Director Chen thinks about it. This old sister's temper is so out-of-temper. is a person who can't stay still, if she really wants to be aggrieved in a place where she is not familiar with life. I can really hold back my illness. She nodded, and secretly looked at Zhu Xiaolan's expression, now that the old sisters have expressed their positions, Zhu Xiaolan should have no other scruples, right?

Zhu Xiaolan hurriedly said, "Auntie said the same thing as my mother, and my mother also said that her friends are all in the old city, and it is okay to come here to play occasionally, and if you want to stay for a long time, you can't stay." １６… She also has to go to incense and cultivation every once in a while. ”

Seeing that the topic had shifted to her future mother-in-law, Mrs. Lin hurriedly said, "Xiaolan, I said, when will your mother come up and play when she is free? It's rare that everyone is here and knows each other!"

Zhu Xiaolan bowed her head slightly and said, "Okay, I'll ask her!"

Mother Lin smiled.

Director Chen sighed, "I've watched Xiaolan grow from a student who doesn't know anything over the years to now. I want to find a good partner for her, but I can find your Shengjie. If you really achieve a good marriage, that is also my accumulation of virtue. By the way, old sister, don't you know, there are still people who send flowers to Xiaolan today. The boss's bouquet of it, the whole office smelled for a day, what a waste of money!"

Mother Lin's face stiffened, she didn't watch less TV series. It's not popular to send flowers to people who are in love on TV now, and women who receive flowers have to jump up and kiss men. She looked at Zhu Xiaolan suspiciously, although the reality would not be so exaggerated, but the woman who was going to get married still received flowers? This is a trivial matter in the eyes of others, but in her opinion, it is a little unbearable. Her hands stiffened, thinking of her enthusiasm for Zhu Xiaolan during this time, she felt unworthy.

When Director Chen saw Mother Lin's expression, he immediately realized that his words might not be very appropriate, and hurriedly said, "Young people are like this now, and sending flowers is a gesture, and I don't know what it means!"

Zhu Xiaolan also smiled, "It's a classmate from college who came on a business trip." When she met Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu told him to send him a flower, and that classmate is also an interesting person!"

Of course Mother Lin didn't believe it, she had always been very confident, and she also had the ability to believe in herself. It was because of her self-confidence and determination that she vetoed Lin's father's ambition to insist on working in the factory and co-existing in the factory, and bought out her seniority in advance and used the money to open a small shop to support the family. The success of this matter also strengthened her self-confidence, and she relied on this intuition and acumen to deal with disputes between neighbors and family affairs, and almost never made mistakes. Her chubby body stopped, ate the vegetables, and said after a bite, "Of course, young people, they are all fashionable!"

Director Chen breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Mother Lin was also smiling on her face, she changed the topic and said some interesting things, and several people smiled. In the meantime, Zhu Xiaolan went to the service desk to pay the bill under the pretext of going to the toilet, and when Lin's mother remembered to check out, she was surprised when she heard the waiter say that the bill had been settled.

Director Chen said goodbye to Lin's mother, and Zhu Xiaolan sent Lin's mother home and went to sit by the way.

Mother Lin thought for a while while walking, and said, "Xiaolan, our family likes you very much, since you don't want to get married first, is this okay? Let your mother come up, we will get engaged simply, and Auntie will buy you a set of jewelry or something?"

Zhu Xiaolan nodded and said with a smile, "Auntie, it's really bothering you!"

"What's the trouble! I'm afraid of our old-fashioned, old-fashioned rules. You young people are not used to it!" she grabbed Zhu Xiaolan's wrist, "You, if you have any requirements, just tell Shengjie." Let him prepare it for you!"

When the two returned home, Shengjie was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks. Dad Lin sat on the sofa watching TV. Mother Lin leaned over to take a look and said, "We're not here, so let's eat something delicious?"

"The three of you go out to eat at the restaurant, of course we have to make up for ourselves!" Shengjie looked at Zhu Xiaolan with a smile, "What have you eaten?"

"Eat the fish. It's just good-looking, and it doesn't taste as good as my mother's. Ha, but it's delicious!" Mother Lin pushed Dad Lin away, grabbed the remote control board and replaced the channel with the central eight sets, Dad Lin "you" didn't come out with a complete word for a long time, so I had to give up.

Zhu Xiaolan went to help Lin Shengjie clean up the kitchen, Lin Shengjie tied an apron for her, and said, "What did you say to my mother?"

"Auntie said to invite my mom to come. Get engaged first! What do you think?"

"Engagement, it's done!" Lin Shengjie turned around and put hot water, "Did Mom say what to do?"

Zhu Xiaolan was stunned for a moment. This sermon has not been spoken.

Shengjie looked at the living room and whispered. "You fool. If you want to get engaged, you don't even ask clearly, you will suffer!"

Zhu Xiaolan blushed slightly. Why is she embarrassed to ask this?

Lin Shengjie coughed twice and said, "Xiaolan, go back and ask your mother! Auntie must know what to do!"

Zhu Xiaolan nodded, then raised her head and asked with a smile, "Let my mother say, doesn't that cost you more?"

Lin Shengjie said proudly, "Hey, it depends on when! Now I have a big project in my hand, no matter how I can save your little money!"

Zhu Xiaolan slapped Lin Shengjie on the shoulder and put the clean bowl on the table to dry.

Mother Lin watched TV with one eye and looked at the kitchen with the other. Seeing the two laughing and affectionate, he sighed in his heart.

Father Lin turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Mother Lin shook her head and didn't speak. The two old men watched TV silently like this, and then watched Lin Shengjie send Zhu Xiaolan out.

"Can you say it now?" Father Lin got up and closed the door.

Mother Lin sighed, "Sister Chen said that Xiaolan received flowers today, but somehow, I feel unhappy!"

Father Lin smiled, "What a big deal!"

"It's not a big deal, but I don't want to think about it, Xiaolan is going to marry Shengjie and someone will send flowers! Besides, even if it's a classmate, why send her?"

"What does this mean? Isn't it just that our Xiaolan is popular!"

"I said, why are you so dead-headed!"

"You're just dead-headed! Do you think big cities and small county towns can be the same, what kind of people don't have it? Send a flower and make such a fuss, asking people to give you more valuable things, and don't turn the sky upside down?" Father Lin thought it was normal.

Mother Lin obviously didn't believe that it was impossible for her, who was used to being a small citizen, to send things to others for no reason, and her self-confidence also supported what she thought she couldn't do.

"Hey, don't you believe it, ask Shengjie to go, how many things has he sent out?" Father Lin was a little impatient with Mother Lin's verbosity and lack of knowledge, so how could it be good to be looked down upon by his mother?

Mother Lin was silent, but she was still thinking about it in her heart, how to look at this thing and how abnormal.

Zhu Xiaolan sat in Lin Shengjie's van, thought for a while, and said, "Shengjie, I received a flower today!"

"What flowers? I didn't send them to you!"

"Hey, I thought about how you could send me flowers first, but then when I looked at the note, it was really not you!" Zhu Xiaolan pursed her lips and smiled, she wanted to make this matter as easy as possible, but in fact, it was just because of Auntie's concern that she also cared in her heart. Lin Shengjie glanced at Zhu Xiaolan, the car was driving fast, "Someone really sent you flowers, tell me!"

"Ha, an old classmate from college, I met my classmates last time!"

"It seems that I can't forget you! I thought you didn't have any charm, it seems that your charm is long-lasting, and I still miss you after so long?" Lin Shengjie had a sour bubble attack in his heart, thinking about it, he really didn't give her anything else except a necklace, not even a gadget. While thinking about it, he was sweating like rain, he was negligent, Zhu Xiaolan never mentioned it, and the two of them didn't even have a decent love object. He glanced at Zhu Xiaolan and felt weak.

Zhu Xiaolan smiled, "Probably, it's because I miss his youth! I put it in the office bottle, everyone can take a look, it's good!"

"Ha!" Lin Shengjie didn't ask much, sent Zhu Xiaolan home, and stood downstairs to see the light in her window turn on before leaving. He drove home, thought about it and thought about it, but he was still a little unconvinced.

Early the next morning, Zhu Xiaolan received a large bouquet of bright red roses, lined with small stars, which was very beautiful. Zhu Xiaolan looked at the note amusedly, "Replace the flowers!"

She thought about it, moved Lily to the administrative office, and found another bottle of roses to put in her office.

As soon as Director Chen arrived at the office, "Yo, why did you change the rose?"

Zhu Xiaolan smiled, Zhou Jie's flower was sent, it's very good!
