The day before returning to Dawan County, Jiang Zhilian had a meal with the Mu family.

The person who made this suggestion was Mu Qitai.

Later, it was Mu Jiaojiao's cousin-in-law who came to Zhang Luo's dinner.

Zhu Baomei, Liu Zhuangzhuang's mother and son, and Meng Qing all went.

Old Man Mu and Old Lady Mu originally planned to participate, but they couldn't catch up because of something improvised.

In the end, there were only two Mu family members sitting at the table, that is, Mu Qitai and Mu Jiaojiao's sister-in-law.

"This is my friend's private restaurant, not to the outside world, only if the relationship is good!" The sister-in-law returned to the room after ordering the food and introduced to everyone: "She doesn't like to meet people, otherwise she should let Lianwa talk to her." I think you're going to be very close to each other. ”

Jiang Zhilian took a sip of sweet ginger tea and smiled, "If there is fate, there will definitely be a chance to meet in the future." ”

"Oops!" The sister-in-law was surprised: "My friend also said this just now. I persuaded her for a long time, but she only cooked with her head bored, and in the end, I couldn't help it, so I said this. You guys are too tacit, you all have the same ideas! ”

Jiang Zhilian held the warm cup in both hands and asked, "Is this sweet ginger tea also made by your friend?" ”

The sister-in-law nodded, "Everything here is made by herself, even the little jasmine flowers on this meal cloth are embroidered by herself!" When I first met her, I thought she was a very eccentric person. Nine times out of ten, my thoughts are different from others, as if I don't care about anything, but the bottom line is very clear. ”

Jiang Zhilian suddenly had a good impression of this person who didn't know his age or appearance.

I hope that in the future, I will have the opportunity to sit down face-to-face and have a good talk with this interesting friend with a clear bottom line and superb cooking skills!

The meal was brought by my sister-in-law one by one.

Jiang Zhilian and Meng Qing wanted to help, but the master didn't allow outsiders to enter the back kitchen, so they could only give up.

Mu Qitai has been here a few times, and he is more familiar with this place, and he also understands the temperament of the owner, so he sits and drinks tea with peace of mind.

He hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth to ask about his daughter's current condition, "Jiaojiao's body, how is it recovering?" ”

Jiang Zhilian glanced at Meng Qing.

Meng Qing replied: "It's good, my aunt told you not to worry." ”

"Well, that's good." Mu Qitai seemed to want to say something else, but in the end he didn't say it.

Zhu Baomei is about to separate from her son again, all kinds of reluctance, and her face is full of unhappiness.

Looking at the table full of delicacies, I can't lift my energy.

Liu Zhuangzhuang was serving vegetables to his mother, and he coaxed with kind words.

"You don't want to go home for the New Year? How can you do it if you don't go home for the New Year! Zhu Baomei was dissatisfied: "How can there be a child who doesn't go home during the New Year!" ”

Liu Zhuangzhuang explained in a low voice: "There are so many things I have to learn, and there is still a lot of work, and I really can't leave." My teacher doesn't go home for the New Year, and he has to work here, so I'm a novice apprentice, why am I embarrassed to ask for leave to go back? ”

"You're embarrassed, I'm embarrassed, I'll help you ask for leave!" Zhu Baomei seemed to see a glimmer of hope, "Didn't you say that your teacher was very talkative!" He must be able to understand my feelings as a mother. ”

"No way!" Liu Zhuangzhuang's face was serious.

In just a short period of time, he has grown a lot.

After all kinds of polishing, he has faded away from his youth and frizz, and he is no longer the hairy young man he was before.

"If I go home, I won't be able to finish what I promised! To be a man, you have to keep your promises, this is what you taught me! ”

Zhu Baomei buried her head in eating, sullen.

Liu Zhuang Zhuang knew that he was emotional, and he was picking vegetables, and pouring tea, and finally Zhu Baomei finally thought about it, "Okay, okay!" You study hard, work hard, and go home early after you have learned! ”

"Hmmm! I'm sure I'll study hard! Liu Zhuangzhuang smiled very happily.

Zhu Baomei sighed helplessly, "I'll just take the time to come and see you." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Zhilian interjected and said, "I should come to the provincial capital again in the spring, and we can be together at that time." ”

Zhu Baomei: "When is the beginning of spring!" I can't wait that long. This time I have experience, and I can come myself in the future. I thought I'd come back once a month. ”

"What?" Liu Zhuangzhuang was surprised: "You want to come every month? ”

"What's wrong?" Zhu Baomei shook her brows and stuffed a small bun into her mouth, "Your wife is not welcome?" ”

"It's not that you're not welcome, but-" Liu Zhuangzhuang thought he had just made sense! As a result, the old lady actually did this kind of plan.

If you count the time it takes to come back and forth, it will take almost a week.

"Aren't you doing the work of the sauce factory?" Liu Zhuangzhuang's face was anxious, "You can't ask for leave every month, right?" ”

Zhu Baomei looked at Jiang Zhilian, "This leave, can I ask for it?" ”

Jiang Zhilian saw Liu Zhuangzhuang shaking his head at her.

Zhu Baomei slapped her son on the back, "What are you shaking your head!" Who are you with? ”

Jiang Zhilian pursed her lips and smiled.

"Just deduct my salary, give me half of the previous one, and I have no opinion." Zhu Baomei paused, and then said: "If it doesn't work, I won't do it, anyway, Lao Liu earns enough." ”

Liu Zhuangzhuang: "......"

"I don't care about the specific affairs of the sauce factory now, I have to go to my aunt and my brother-in-law to discuss things like leave and salary." Jiang Zhilian didn't say anything to death.

Zhu Baomei: "Cheng, then I'll go back and ask them!" ”

Liu Zhuangzhuang only felt stuffy in his chest, it was really a suffocating mother's love!

If the family affection is too turbulent, it will be unbearable and unbearable.

He's so old, and the mother is still not willing to let go!

"Mother, I'm very happy that you came to me. But if you always come, it will delay my study and work. Can't you just let me live here on my own? Liu Zhuangzhuang thought that there were still two people from the Mu family sitting at the table, and that they were both teachers and seniors in the field he studied, so he felt that he was discussing these trivial things with his mother here, and his face was panicked.

It was fine at first, and it was nothing less to say.

But for a long time, he was still entangled in this meaningless thing, which made him start to feel irritable for no reason.

Zhu Baomei was stunned for a moment, sensitively aware of her son's emotional changes, and immediately closed her mouth.

Yes, the son has grown up.

After losing weight, even the appearance has changed a lot.

The occasion is different now.

Zhu Baomei finally realized that she should also change.

She broke the brief silence at the table and calmly said to her son, "Okay, I'll come back in the spring." ”

Jiang Zhilian gently kicked Liu Zhuangzhuang with her toes under the table, and secretly glanced at him.

Liu Zhuangzhuang pursed his lips tightly, glanced quickly in the direction of Mu Qitai, then retracted his gaze, touched Zhu Baomei's arm with his hand, and whispered: "Mother, it's not that I don't want you to come over, don't misunderstand what I mean!" You also know how homesick I am when I come out, how much I miss you. ”

"Got it, let's eat!" Zhu Baomei waved her hand and beckoned the people at the table, "You all eat!" What are you doing in a daze! The old lady is arguing with her son, a normal thing! ”

Speaking of the old lady, the sister-in-law remembered one thing.

"Lianwa, who are you Chen Cuihong?"

Jiang Zhilian learned Zhu Baomei's tone, and replied with a smile, "My mother ......"

Sister-in-law: "Dear? ”

"Hmm." Jiang Zhilian nodded, "I am her daughter who was pregnant in October. ”

"Look, it's a little—" The cousin stopped talking.

Jiang Zhilian smiled: "It's a little bit like that? ”

Sister-in-law: "Well, it's not! ”

"I don't think so." Jiang Zhilian paused and asked, "You left early that day, did you hear about what happened later?" ”

Mu Qitai put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, "It's my student who came back to speak." ”

"Oh? So what happened to them then? How did you solve it? Jiang Zhilian asked curiously.

Mu Qitai rinsed his mouth with tea, "I heard that Chen Cuihong was kicked out of the house." ”

"Huh?" Jiang Zhilian felt a little surprised, "Director Liu is so ruthless?" He doesn't look like a heartless person! After all, it's been so long since they've been together, so if you say you're going to drive it away, you're going to drive it away? ”

Sister-in-law: "I guess it's angry, and the impact is not good." ”

"Well deserved!" Zhu Baomei snorted lightly, "What is this called?" This is retribution! ”

Mu Qitai looked at Jiang Zhilian and asked, "Do you want to go and see Chen Cuihong?" I know which guest house she lives in now. ”
