Today is Sunday, a national holiday.

Tao Ling and her daughter are resting at home, and Wu Bo decided to cook a few specialty dishes for them in order to show off in front of his wife and children, so as to please them.

Wu Bo got up at 10 a.m. and went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

After wandering around for a long time, after bargaining with the vendors, he bought a lot of animal foods such as potatoes, lettuce, greens, garlic sprouts, peppers, cucumbers, eggplants, pork, chickens, ducks, fish, etc., and almost spent all the living expenses that Tao Ling handed over to him for a week.

Fortunately, his pocket contained the 1,000 yuan private money that Liu Xiaoying gave him, otherwise, he would have to have two sleeves and four purses.

Of course, he can't let his wife know about this money no matter what.

Just in case, he took out one of the ten hundred-dollar bills and put it in his pocket, and the remaining nine "Red Suns" were unwittingly stuffed into the pocket of a ragged dress in the closet, hiding them very secretly.

Tao Ling does housework at home, she puts her dirty clothes into a fully automatic washing machine at home, mixes Liby laundry detergent, and washes it automatically.

After wiping down the table, chairs, benches, coffee tables, sofas, and windowsills, she puts a mop in the foamy water that comes out of the washing machine, soaks it, wrung it out, and begins mopping the floors in her bedroom, living room, dining room, and kitchen.

It didn't take long for all the rooms to be cleaned and tidy by her.

Bell bell bell

At this time, the phone rang in the living room.

Tao Ling was washing rags in the bathroom and shouted at her daughter who was playing in the bedroom:

"Xiaoqian, come out and answer the phone!"

Wu Xiaoqian, wearing a small pink pajamas, ran out of the bedroom, picked up the phone and asked:

"Hey, I'm Xiaoqian, who are you looking for?"

"Kid, is your dad at home?" A soft female voice came from the microphone.

"Who are you?" Wu Xiaoqian felt that this voice was a little unfamiliar, and said curiously: "My father is not at home, my mother is here, do you want my mother to listen to the phone?" ”

"Okay, let your mom answer the phone." The other party said cheerfully.

The little girl picked up the phone and shouted, "Mom, come and answer the phone." ”

"Who called?" Tao Ling ran out of the bathroom and asked.

"It's an aunt."

"Is that your godmother?"

"It's not." Wu Xiaoqian shook her head.

Tao Ling's hand was still dripping, so she wiped it on her clothes, took the microphone and asked:

"May I ask who you are?"

A woman introduced herself and said, "I'm Liu Xiaoying, Wu Bo's cousin, you're his lover, right?" ”

"Oh," Tao Ling had never heard Wu Bo talk about her cousin, and hurriedly said, "Wu Bo went to the street to buy vegetables, do you have something to do with him?" ”

"It's nothing, I want to treat your family to a light meal at twelve o'clock at noon."

"Where to eat?" Tao Ling asked strangely.

"In the restaurant on the fifth floor of the Tangcheng Hotel, I have already booked the 'Violet' private room." Tao Ling couldn't help but shudder when she heard the words "Tangcheng Hotel".

Because the story of her and Manager Wang had been left there, her thoughts began to be confused, and her hand holding the phone couldn't help but tremble a little.

"Are you there?" Liu Xiaoying asked on the phone.

Tao Ling reacted and said, "What place are you talking about?" ”

"The Violet Private Room ...... the restaurant on the fifth floor of the Tangcheng Hotel," the other party repeated.

"Okay, I'll make a note of it, Wu Bo will come back in a while, and I'll ask him to call you." Tao Ling hurriedly hung up the phone.

Things in the world are often like this:

The more you don't want to mention the name, the more it will inadvertently reach your ears, the more you don't want to see people you can meet anywhere, and the more you don't want to go, you can't hide.

"How could there be such a coincidence, the place where they invited us to dinner would actually be the Tangcheng Hotel, and it was the private room where I went with Manager Wang last time?"

After answering the phone, Tao Ling sat on the sofa.

"The last time I had dinner was the place set by Director Huang, Director Huang is more familiar with the environment of Tangcheng Hotel, could Wu Bo's cousin be someone from Director Huang?" Tao Ling's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

After a while, Wu Boti came back with a lot of dishes.

Tao Ling asked in surprise: "My mother, did you move the vegetable market back?" ”

"Hehe," Wu Bo walked more hurriedly when he went home, panting, and said, "Don't you think that your mother and daughter are both at home, and the family can improve their lives?" ”

"No need, someone has improved our lives at noon today."

"Who?"

"There is a woman who said that she is your cousin, and she called just now and said that she would invite us to lunch." Tao Linghu looked at his eyes suspiciously, "Wu Bo, what's going on, why have I never heard that you still have relatives in the city?" ”

As soon as Tao Ling mentioned Liu Xiaoying, Wu Bo was very nervous.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, she's my uncle's daughter, and she recently asked for our phone number from her hometown and called me to get in touch."

In order to hide his nervousness, Wu Bo made a perfunctory remark and hurriedly brought the vegetables he bought back into the kitchen.

After all the refrigerators were placed, Wu Bo's mood calmed down a little, because he knew in his heart that Liu Xiaoying's purpose of inviting their family to lunch was clear.

Wu Bo returned to the living room.

Tao Ling asked, "Why did your cousin invite us to dinner?" ”

Wu Bo said perfunctorily: "My cousin said on the phone last time that she wanted to help me introduce an engineering project, I don't know if it's for this matter." ”

"Does your cousin have that much ability?" Tao Ling didn't believe her ears.

"Yes, her husband is the director of the Jincheng Construction Bureau."

"What did you say?" Tao Ling looked at her husband with a distrustful gaze and said, "Is your cousin-in-law really the director of the Construction Bureau?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?" Wu Bo said lightly.

"It's nothing," Tao Ling shook her head and said, "If this is the case, then you are quite sure that you will take over the project." ”

"It should be," Wu Bo echoed, "Didn't she say where to eat?" ”

"Said it, Donnes Hotel."

"What time is it?"

"Twelve!"

"That's okay," Wu Bo looked at the wall clock and said, "It's eleven o'clock in the morning, you go and clean up, we have to rush over immediately." ”

After dressing up, Tao Ling took her daughter out of the bedroom.

The family left the house, boarded a taxi at the gate of the Chengnan community, and went straight to the Tangcheng Hotel.

Along the way, the couple had their own thoughts.

The daughter was so happy that she jumped around: "Let's go to the hotel for dinner, have a big meal......"
