Chapter 46
Lei Dawei, Shen Xiaolan and his wife were talking about the earthquake, and before they knew it, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and at this time, they had not come back from work today, and the Lei family and his wife knew that they were not eating at home tonight.
"It must be with those two colleagues again, there must be Cao Lei among them," Shen Xiaolan said a little unhappily.
Shen Xiaolan knows that there are no messy friends outside today, and if she hasn't gone to school today, she naturally won't have any classmates, except for Xia Feng and Xin Jing and Cao Lei, she won't be with anyone else so late today, don't look at her identity as the adopted daughter of the Lei family on the rich side, she is never so flamboyant outside, if it weren't for these people together, she would be home today.
"Sister Yang, you can also clean up and go home, you can't come back to eat tonight" Shen Xiaolan came to the kitchen door and said to Sister Yang inside.
Sister Yang had already finished preparing dinner at this time, and was wiping the cooking utensils on the stove, when she heard Shen Xiaolan like this, she was secretly happy in her heart, and said casually:
"I was thinking about it just now, I can't come back to eat tonight, why don't I put all the food in the insulated cabinet, and when Manjiao comes back, it will automatically trip."
Sister Yang said as she came to her small lounge and changed into clothes for going out.
Shen Xiaolan returned to the living room, turned on the TV easily, and said:
"Sister Yang, you said that this child is old and walks to school, and only the old couple are left at home, it's really boring to sit dryly, ha, it's not as good as when the child is young, and he is busy and makes people feel very fulfilling."
"You are also Sister Shen, your family conditions are so good, you go out to play mahjong, it's boring to stay at home, I haven't seen your husband and wife play mahjong for so long, you two are not the same as those rich people I have seen."
"Don't you know, if this one in our family plays up, he can lose the sky, that is, he hasn't played for a few years, so I won't do anything and accompany him every day, or he's not interesting"
Sister Yang smiled and said:
"Sister is really good at saying, I think sister, you are watching him every day, but my brother-in-law really listens to you, and he won't leave anywhere."
When Shen Xiaolan was about to say something without opening her mouth, Lei Dawei came down from upstairs and politely said to Sister Yang:
"Sister Yang, sit down and have a cup of tea before leaving"
"Don't drink anymore, what else can I do when I go home so early," Sister Yang said, and the person left.
Since Manjiao went to high school and went to work today, the Lei family has formed a habit that they will eat dinner on time when they come back from work today, and if they don't come back for dinner today, the two of them will wait until Manjiao comes back to eat with their youngest daughter. As long as she doesn't come back for dinner today, Sister Yang will have less work, no need to clean up the table and pick up dishes and chopsticks for the three of them, and she will leave work early, as long as it is half past four o'clock in the afternoon, and she has not yet arrived home today, Sister Yang knows that she can go home early.
After Shen Xiaolan sent Sister Yang out and sat down, Lei Dawei said:
"I forgot to let Sister Yang make a dish that Zhenyu is willing to eat alone, I'm going to take a sip of wine tonight"
As soon as the words fell, Sister Yang opened the door and came back as if she heard Lei Dawei's words outside.
Seeing Sister Yang coming back, Lei Dawei and his wife thought to her, this must be pulling down something, this is to come back to pick up something. So, Shen Xiaolan asked first
"Something pulled, look at you in such a hurry"
"Look at my memory, when I came this morning, I thought all the way, don't forget, don't forget, you still forget" Sister Yang said and sat down next to Shen Xiaolan, and then said:
"My neighbor came to my house last night to ask me to ask you, is there anything about Cao Lei today, if not, she wants me to wear a thread for you, she has a nephew who is the deputy director of the Organization Department in M County, and he hasn't been a partner yet, they have seen it on TV in our county, and it's so beautiful today, they took a fancy to it, I'm still a reporter today, and my job is good, so I like it, they know that I work in your house and I want me to inquire about it, it's not that the photos are given to me, Look at it," Sister Yang took out a photo of the four villages from her pocket as she spoke, and handed it to Shen Xiaolan.
Shen Xiaolan took the photo and only glanced at it, and then said to Lei Dawei:
"Look at me and say that I am not in a hurry to wait in advance today, you look at how good this young man is, he is not an ordinary child who looks like this, what do you say?"
Lei Dawei took the photo and looked at it, and then said to Sister Yang:
"Sister Yang, we have to ask today, we don't know how far she and Cao Lei have developed, let's talk to you tomorrow"
Obviously, Lei Dawei also took a fancy to the young man in the photo.
"Okay, then put the photo here, let me see it today" After Sister Yang finished speaking, she put the photo on the coffee table, and let her get up to leave, Shen Xiaolan hurriedly asked again:
"Sister Yang, you haven't said what this young man's name is."
"You see I'm busy and forget, his name is Li Zhengyi, his parents are teachers, they live in a small township called something, they are both retired, and the conditions are very good" Sister Yang said very proudly, feeling that she had done a good thing for their Lei family.
After Sister Yang left, Yang Xiaolan was busy saying to Lei Dawei:
"What should I do, Lao Lei, I won't listen to my words, if you don't spoil me so much, can she be with Cao Lei, look at how good the head Sister Yang just mentioned is, how old is the deputy director of the organization department, and the person is good-looking, I think you will tell her when you come back today, don't let her contact Cao Lei again, let's make the decision and settle this young man."
Lei Dawei sat on the sofa, looked at the photo carefully, and said with a serious face:
"The young man is good, at first glance, he looks like a climate, but have you thought about it, can such an excellent young man take a fancy to our family's today, you also know that he is only twenty-seven years old and is the deputy minister, what about us today, but there is no culture at all, do you say that this matter is possible, that is, there is nothing between Cao Lei and today, and people will not agree, I don't think about this matter"
Hearing Lei Dawei say this, Shen Xiaolan was a little anxious.
"What's not going on, we're so beautiful today, why don't we deserve him, isn't it just the sentence of a talented woman, I think it's okay, I have the final say in this matter, as long as you don't say anything nonsense" Shen Xiaolan's voice was high, and Lei Dawei's voice also rose:
"I'm still the same thing about today, let her make her own decisions, do you know, she is not like Manjiao who is born to our Lei family, you can participate in everything, it's okay to say it lightly or seriously, we can't do this today, you know, our Lei family's money doesn't care what kind of money is looking for today, no matter whether he has the ability or not, as long as he likes to be happy today, even if he stays at home every day, our Lei family can afford it, we just need to feel happy today, you know, I'll tell you Xiaolan, when you come back today, you can tell her about it, But don't you talk nonsense or anything else."
Shen Xiaolan didn't approve of Lei Dawei's words, she still liked what Sister Yang said about Li Zhengyi, and the two of them argued on this topic until they came back today.
It was less than seven o'clock after eating the birthday banquet from Cao Lei today, but when I returned home, it was already nine o'clock, and I didn't expect it to take so long to grind with Cao Lei. As soon as she entered the door, she heard the two of them arguing again, and she didn't hear anything clearly, and she was worried that she was coming back late and letting her godfather and godmother quarrel for herself. Seeing that their faces were not very good, he said very carefully:
"Godfather, godmother, I'm coming back late, so I'm in a hurry."
Today's words made the Lei family couple who were still angry immediately realize something, and immediately stretched out their tense faces.
"Don't worry, it's not the first time you've gone out when you're so old, wash your face quickly, godmother has something to say to you" Shen Xiaolan said softly, as if nothing happened, and she didn't ask who she was with or where she ate. At this time, Lei Dawei got up and looked at his watch and said:
"You guys talk slowly at home, I'm going to pick up Manjiao," Lei Dawei said and put on his coat, and said to Jin'er when he went out:
"Come and eat with us later."
After washing his face, he came to the living room and sat beside Shen Xiaolan obediently, and at this time Shen Xiaolan had already put the cut orange in front of Jin'er.
"Let's drink, smell a smell of wine, eat some fruit over your mouth to cool your stomach"
"Godmother, don't you want to have something to say to me, isn't it Brother Zhenyu who has a call?"
"My family is smart today, you Zhenyu called, and you haven't finished talking for an hour...."Speaking of this, Shen Xiaolan stopped talking as soon as she spoke, and immediately today:
"Godmother wants to ask you today, you and Cao Lei now..."
"Godmother, tell me quickly, how is Brother Zhenyu now, what are you doing now, where is it, is it okay, godmother, tell me what Brother Zhenyu said"
Before Shen Xiaolan's words were finished, she grabbed Shen Xiaolan's hand and asked eagerly.
"Seeing that you are in a hurry, like Manjiao, you don't care about anything when you hear that it is Zhenyu, your brother Zhenyu is very good over there, everything is going well"
"Godmother...", I was going to ask today, but was interrupted by Shen Xiaolan again.
"Today, Godmother won't tell you about Brother Zhenyu now, Godmother wants to know about you and Cao Lei now, you have to tell the truth to Godmother today, and tell Godmother where you and him are developing now"
"Godmother, why are you asking that, did you hear something?"
"What else did you hear, who in the whole city doesn't know about the two of you now, you tell your godmother the truth, where are you now" Shen Xiaolan asked again.
"What a step, he and I are ordinary friends, how can it be like you say," said Jin'er with a blushing face.
"Today, it's for your good that your godmother asks you like this, and you're not too young to be the object, I don't want to interfere with your affairs with your godfather, if you really like Cao Lei, I don't have an opinion with your godfather, you can communicate with him generously, if you don't like him, you have to tell me and your godfather, if he keeps pestering you like this, tomorrow I will let your godfather come forward to warn him, otherwise it will affect your future events, you know"
"Godmother, I have nothing to do with him, and he didn't pester me, really godmother, you don't have to worry, if I have anything with him, can I not tell you and my godfather" Jin'er said to Shen Xiaolan with a serious expression.
Shen Xiaolan was also very happy to see such a solemn appearance today. I felt that the words outside were not credible, so I suddenly held my hand tighter, moved my body a little to her side, and said very lovingly:
"I'm obedient today, my godmother will tell you today, tonight Sister Yang said that her neighbor has one..."
As soon as Shen Xiaolan's words came to this, Manjiao jumped into the house and said loudly:
"Mom, I'm back, I listened to my dad, my brother called"
Then Manjiao threw herself in front of Jin'er again and said:
"Sister Jin'er, my father and mother are going to my brother's, and you and I are the only ones left in this family, do you say okay" Jin'er said excitedly, seeing the photo on the tea table at a glance, he took it in his hand and looked at it, and then asked Jin'er:
"Sister Jin'er, who is this, is it from your unit, really handsome, much more handsome than the one surnamed Cao, who is he" and then looked at Jin'er with very mysterious eyes. I was also stunned today, if it wasn't for Manjiao picking up the photo, she hadn't seen it, and before she could speak today, Lei Dawei said first:
"Let's go and eat, I really want to have a sip now"
"No, Sister Jin'er hasn't told me who this person is" Manjiao is still pestering Jin'er, this is the photo is close to Jin'er's hand, looking at the photo, Jin'er's heart began to speed up suddenly, she had a premonition, and then thought of the words she had just said to her godmother, she regretted it a little. %f
