After Chen Jingming told me the news, he ended the call with me, and we both seemed to have a hard time facing each other, so much so that I didn't ask where he was making a living now, and he didn't ask me what I was doing in Xuzhou.

I put the phone back on the table, the tiredness after a busy morning suddenly appeared in my body, I lit a cigarette and leaned back in the chair to relieve it, but my heart still imagined who Mi Cai's mother was, although we had never met, but she was more and more real in my mind, this reality stemmed from the fact that we would meet in the near future but I didn't want to see this from the bottom of my heart, maybe Mi Cai's rejection of her was transmitted to me, or perhaps, I don't have much confidence now.

Soon, the time came to noon, and in the past half a day, I recruited a barista who I was more satisfied with, he is a more comprehensive barista, not only can mix coffee, but also mix wine to make pastries, this kind of comprehensive saving me a lot of trouble, I also deserved to give him a high salary, and now what is lacking is only a good image, good temperament of the female waiter.

When I was thinking about what to eat at noon, Mi Cai had already appeared in front of me with two insulated boxes, she put the insulated boxes on the dining table, and said to me in a very good mood: "Zhaoyang, this is the Chinese rice that my aunt sent me, there are chicken soup and sweet and sour pork ribs, as well as green vegetables and tofu, she is really good at matching, needless to say, the taste is needless to say, and the nutrition is also very balanced!" ”

I smiled and said, "As long as you are attentive to a person, even if you didn't know how to match before, you can learn to match now." ”

"Are you saying that Auntie is very attentive to me?"

"Hmm, you whispered to me, you and Xiao Yun are in the same office, did she prepare one for Xiao Yun too?"

Mi Cai shook her head

"Yes, my mother's strengths and weaknesses are too clear, once she approves of someone, it is good to her regardless of return"

Mi Cai had a touched expression, but suddenly said to me: "Then it seems that Xiao Yun will be very disappointed, after all, she used to be your girlfriend, and Auntie was so kind to her regardless of return, but now she has transferred!" ”

Mi Cai's sharp thinking ability made me very embarrassed, and it took a while to reply: "You must not make this kind of comparison, after all, the matter between me and Li Xiaoyun is already very historical, besides, of course Xiaoyun will not be lost, she also has a mother-in-law, her mother-in-law is not too good to her!" ”

Mi Cai nodded: "Oh, it seems that I can enjoy Auntie's kindness to me with peace of mind!" ”

"Why do I think you have something to say?"

"Whether there is something in the words or not, you have to understand it yourself." Mi Cai said and opened the insulated box, and said: "Hurry up and eat, I only have an hour and a half of rest at noon, and 30 minutes have been used on the way here." ”

"30 minutes? Does it take that long to get a taxi? ”

"I came by bus 101, and I walked for another 10 minutes to the terminal."

I couldn't stop the emotion in my heart, and I felt even more guilty that I had given her such a grievance in my life, although she didn't care so much about it herself

I took her hand, asked her to sit down next to me, and whispered, "If you think driving a Q7 is too high-profile, just change to a normal car, I don't want you to come and go so troublesomely!" ”

Mi Cai shook her head: "It's okay to eat quickly, you followed me today, my aunt specially told me not to send you food, she only made one person's meal, alas! However, I can't bear to think that you haven't even had lunch alone in this freezing winter."

Although she changed the topic, my mind was still on the fact that she came by bus, so that I felt inexplicable, but seeing that she really didn't care, I finally smiled and replied: "Come on, my mother is testing whether you are good enough for me, this thermos box is obviously the amount of food for two people, you must understand, I am her own son, but I didn't pick it up from the trash can, I am delicate in her mind!" ”

"Well, that's delicate! Auntie cares about you! Mi Cai said and took out the bowl that was obviously only one serving of rice from the insulated box, filled a small part of it herself, most of it in the compartment of the insulated box, and handed it to me

I cried and mourned, this busy afternoon, I felt too good about myself, and the truth is: Mi Cai and I had to break the amount of food for one person and two people to eat

During the meal, Mi Cai and I chatted about buying appliances for the new house and decided what appliances to buy, and we fell into a short silence

In this silence, I remembered the phone call that Chen Jingming had just called me, I didn't know whether to sue Mi Cai immediately, and she must not want to hear the news, otherwise she would not have deliberately made her mother unable to contact her, and this deliberate also gave me a stronger signal: she and her mother are at odds, and she is against us being together, or rather, she is against Mi Cai's ordinary life now.

In hesitation, a business car suddenly stopped at the door of the coffee shop, the door opened, and a photographer with his photography assistant and six women entered our coffee shop.

The photographer, a man with a beret and a mustache, came up to me and asked, "Are you the owner of the coffee shop?" ”

"Yes, I'm the owner of the coffee shop."

"Hello, hello, I am Dai Wenshan, the photographer and boss of Xuzhou Dragon Photography, and I heard Director Li (Li Xiaoyun) of Aosen Advertising say that you can cooperate with us to shoot for free, so bring some customers over to try the effect first."

I held out my hand to him and said with a smile, "Welcome, welcome, I'm sure our color-themed coffee shop will inspire you to take your photos." ”

Dai Wenshan nodded, immediately opened the lid on the lens, and captured every ingenuity in the layout of the coffee shop in the camera lens very professionally, and finally, the camera stopped when it turned to Mi Cai's body, only to hear a "click", Mi Cai's posture froze in his lens and put down the camera, and said to Mi Cai apologetically: "I'm sorry, I took the liberty to shoot you, but the photographer is naturally sensitive to beautiful things, especially when presented in the lens, it is even more uncontrollable!" ”

Mi Cai smiled and said, "It's okay, I can understand it, because I also love photography"

After Dai Wenshan thanked Mi Cai, he looked at the shot he had just captured, nodded with satisfaction, and then beckoned the female customers he brought to see this photo together, and Mi Cai is a natural model, because of her presentation, the group of female customers are more eager to take photos here, but Dai Wenshan once again keenly captured the scenery outside the coffee shop, he walked outside the coffee shop, and said to the group of women: "Please order something to drink first, give me ten minutes, The sun is just right at this time, I want to take pictures of the outside of the coffee shop, I didn't expect that we have such a special perspective space in Xuzhou, and we can see such an empty picture!! ”

Dai Wenshan seems to be a very convincing photographer, so several female customers did not show impatience and ordered with me, but I felt helpless and apologized to them: At this time, the coffee shop has not officially opened, and I myself will not mix coffee, but they are unwilling to accommodate, and I have to mix coffee, because there is no decent cup of coffee as a prop later, which does not reflect their petty bourgeoisie.

Mi Cai helped me out, she said that she would mix a few fancy coffees, and the women were not picky, saying that they could have coffee, and then, they sat down near the window, and asked me: Have anyone come to take pictures before, I told them that they were the first batch, and they were deeply honored, which made me think they were very interesting, in fact, sitting here quietly drinking a cup of coffee, is the expression of the mood, but at this stage, I need such customers very much, Because their quietness is just a kind of communication power, as soon as they sat down, they took a photo of the coffee shop and shared it with their respective WeChat circle of friends, and this sharing means the conversion of customers to this coffee shop!

After a while, Mi Cai made the first cup of coffee, and Dai Wenshan had already finished filming outside, and together with his assistant, he helped the first female customer take a photo

In order not to disturb the shooting, I took the unfinished lunch of myself and Mi Cai to the bar, and then stood beside her, watched her mix fancy coffee, and asked, "When did you learn to make coffee?" I don't know at all. ”

Mi Cai smiled and teased me: "Comprehensive su zhì is very important, do you think that just by being able to play a guitar, you will have the status of the rivers and lakes?" At best, it's just a small head of a third-rate sect! ”

"So, you are really at the level of the master of the martial arts alliance, when are you going to dominate the rivers and lakes, the master of the Mi League?"

"Don't talk when this league is the main coffee maker, and don't stand still."

"You're really in the play! Mi Meng Lord! ”

Mi Cai deliberately frowned: "The waves of the rivers and lakes are big, and you are allowed to stand obediently in order to protect you, and you must not waste the good intentions of the leader of this alliance!" ”

I smiled and touched her head, sometimes she's such a lovely woman! I really want to live with her for the rest of my life!

About an hour later, Dai Wenshan brought over the six female customers all took a photo with our coffee shop as the background, they couldn't wait for the photo to be processed, and immediately asked Dai Wenshan for the original film, and shared it again in their circle of friends, and when they left, they also paid for the consumption in our coffee shop, 6 cups of coffee, a total of 200 yuan, and this is the first money I earned after Mi Cai and I returned to Xuzhou.

Before she had time to enjoy the sense of achievement, Mi Cai exclaimed, she had missed the time to go to work, and she didn't care about the lunch that hadn't been finished yet, so she picked up her handbag and ran outside the coffee shop, caught up with Dai Wenshan, who had not left, and followed his hitchhiker to the city

I looked at the direction in which she was leaving, and I had no chance to tell her the news that her mother was coming back, and I wondered if her mother, when she saw that she was becoming more and more like an ordinary woman, felt as much as I did.
