"But then again, you're hopeless of getting promoted, and that's not a trivial matter, is it? Have you figured out how to explain it to Uncle Tao and Aunt Zhu? ”

Tao Manman shrugged disapprovingly: "It's just that I was disqualified from running, and I didn't say that I would definitely be elected." What kind of errand can be a military doctor in the clinic of the Beijing Military Region? Even if I hadn't been canceled, there was a good chance that I wouldn't be defeated, so it wasn't a big deal. ”

At this point, Xu Wanning's guilty thoughts were finally relieved.

"Speaking of which, I haven't visited my uncle and aunt at home for so long since I've been back in Beijing. Manman, when are you going home, help me ask my uncle and aunt when they are free, and I will take Song Han Jinchu to visit you. ”

"Okay, no problem." Tao Manman said: "I'll go home and ask later." ”

In the kitchen, Xu Mao was solemnly pounding garlic.

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind.

The person who cooked today was not A-Ning, he had to eat one less bowl of rice.

Mother Xu didn't care about her son's careful thoughts, looked at the two people in the living room who were talking happily, and asked, "What do you think of this child?" ”

"It's good, I can play with my little sister, and I can think about my little sister, plus there is a relationship with Tao Bo, but I'm not afraid that they will break up again."

"That's all?" Mother Xu asked dissatisfiedly: "I'm asking Manman about the child itself, not about her relationship with A-Ning." ”

Xu Maoyan put down the stone pestle in his hand, thought about it very seriously, and then said: "Her medical skills are very good, and she has enough patience with patients. In terms of personality, although he is a little more aggressive, sometimes he is easy to offend people when he speaks, but he doesn't have the twisted attitude of ordinary lesbians, and he is not tired of getting along. ”

"It's good."

"That's it?" Mother Xu rolled her eyes at Xu Maoyan, "Okay, okay, you go out, I'm annoyed when I see you!" ”

Mother Xu pushed her son out of the kitchen, "You accompany A-Ning Manman to chat for a while." ”

After Xu Maoyan went out, Tao Manman had already gotten up to say goodbye to Xu Wanning.

"Today's incident must have reached my father's old antique ears, and I have to go back and talk to him, lest he rush to the health room to clean me up in a fit of rage."

"I'll go say hello to my aunt and leave."

Xu Wanning took Tao Manman's hand, "Or, I'll go back with you?" It's good to explain it to Uncle Tao. ”

"Oh, no, I can do it myself."

Tao Manman patted the back of Xu Wanning's hand: "It's all said, this matter has little to do with you, you don't have to feel so guilty." ”

Xu Maoyan came out and happened to hear the conversation between the two.

Thinking that the matter was caused by his little sister after all, he offered to send Tao Manman home.

Tao Manman was stunned for two seconds, then hesitated and said, "Fifth Brother Xu, will this be too troublesome for you?" ”

Xu Maoyan had already taken his coat off the coat rack, "Let's go." ”

Tamanman stumbled after him.

Anyway, Fifth Brother Xu wants to send her home, although it is only a few minutes' walk from Xu's house to her house, but she can't let go of the opportunity to be alone.

"Fifth Brother Xu......"

Xu Maoyan looked down at the little man who was only up to his shoulder, and his tone was flat: "Don't call me Fifth Brother Xu anymore." ”

"You are in the Xu family, what is the name of Fifth Brother Xu if I don't call you?"

That sounds really weird.

"Just call me by name."

"Then I'll call you Brother Maoyan, okay?"

"Hmm." Xu Maoyan replied lightly.

Speechless all the way.

Tao Manman didn't dare to find a topic to chat with Xu Maoyan.

Only when the two of them are alone, Brother Maoyan is like an ice cube, as soon as she opens her mouth, he can freeze her into ice ballast, and she still doesn't speak.

I met a lot of people walking along the way, and I was a little surprised to see Xu Wanning and Tao Manman walking side by side.

"Manman, why are you walking with Maoyan today? You two are ......."

"No, no, Aunt Sun." Tao Manman waved his hand again and again: "Fifth Brother Xu went to my house to find my dad for something, so we just stopped by." ”

"I see." Aunt Sun understood, but still stared at the figures of the two for a while: "Don't say it, you two are quite a good match." ”

Tao Manman suddenly blushed.

She subconsciously looked at Xu Maoyan, but saw that the other party didn't even give her the corner of her eye, I don't know if she didn't hear Aunt Sun's words, or if she felt that she didn't need to give any reaction at all.

"Aunt Sun, let's go first, goodbye."

Soon, I arrived at Tao's house.

Sure enough, as soon as Father Tao saw Tao Manman, he scolded him with his head and face.

Tao Manman lowered his head, not even daring to come out of the atmosphere.

Xu Maoyan blocked in front of Tao Manman at the right time.

"Tao Bo, I don't blame Manman for this, it's my little sister who caused the trouble."

"Aning is back?" Tao Mu's delicate eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and her tone was mixed with a little dissatisfaction: "What does this have to do with A-Ning?" Did she make Manman drink? ”

"It's not." Xu Maoyan explained the whole story, and then said: "A-Ning only knew that Manman liked chocolate, so she gave Manman all the chocolates she had always treasured, but she didn't expect Manman to drink badly, so she got drunk just after eating a few chocolates. ”

"Yes, yes, I don't blame A-Ning for this. Besides, during the time when I was drunk and dizzy, A-Ning was always with me, and I didn't go back until I was completely sober. It's all Bai Ya's fault, it was she who didn't like me and reported me to the director. ”

Tao Mu glanced at Tao Manman: "You did something wrong, are you justified?" Do you know how rare this promotion opportunity is? If you miss it this time, you may have to wait for several more years. ”

"My colleagues are excellent, and it doesn't mean that I will definitely be able to get it."

"You've learned to talk back?"

Seeing that things were developing in an uncontrollable direction, Xu Mao solemnly wanted to persuade Tao's mother again, but was stopped by Tao's father.

"Maoyan, you come with me to the study, I have something to tell you."

In the study, Father Tao put a document in front of Xu Maoyan.

"Look at this."

Xu Maoyan read it carefully and carefully, and already had a general understanding in his heart.

He was about to speak, but saw a familiar name at the check-in desk.

His pupils contracted suddenly, and his voice was also filled with shock: "Lin An? He's ......."

"That's what you think. This was handed over by Chief of Staff Shen, and Lin An had already signed up. ”

"Do you have any ideas?"

"I have to go back and talk to A-Ning and ask him to stop Lin An. This mission is too dangerous for him to ......"

"Xu Maoyan."

"Yes!"

Tao's knuckles tapped lightly on the tabletop, "What I want to ask is not this idea. ”
