The front door, the back door, and a few windows were all wide open.

All doors and windows are covered with fine sheer curtains to keep out annoying flies and mosquitoes.

The hot wind of midsummer has a scorching temperature, but the wind that blows into the room through the hall feels like it has been chilled, with a hint of coolness, which makes people feel particularly comfortable.

On the windowsill, there are several pots of blooming flowers, yellow, red, pink, and blue, which are beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

It also exudes a faint fragrance, refreshing people's hearts.

These flowers were specially picked by Meng Qing himself, adding a lot of color and vitality to this new home.

There are two large dining tables in the living room, which are already filled with sumptuous delicacies.

Wu Tao and Chen Shufen sat at a table with the five members of the Meng family.

Jiang Zhilian took the people from the sauce factory and sat at another table with her two younger sisters.

A dozen people had just sat down and were about to start the banquet when someone came outside the door.

"Maybe I'm here to deliver the TV." Jiang Zhilian immediately got up, walked quickly towards the door, and greeted the guests generously, "You eat first, don't wait for me." I collected my stuff and came back right away. ”

The two masters walked into the yard carrying a large cardboard box, and when they saw someone walking out, they asked, "Little girl, the color TV you bought at home has arrived, where will you put it?" ”

Jiang Zhilian was slightly stunned, then waved her hand, and hurriedly spoke, "Color TV? No, did you send it by mistake? I bought a 14-inch black-and-white TV! ”

"That's right!" A familiar voice came from outside the door.

Jiang Zhilian looked up and saw Cui Nian shaking a fan and walking in leisurely.

"This is an imported large-screen color TV that I specially commissioned someone to get." Cui Nian was meticulously dressed, compared to the two sweaty masters next to him, he was refreshing, clean, and full of energy, every pore, revealing the temperament of a capitalist of all evils.

Cui Nian walked up to Jiang Zhilian and said in a casual tone: "This is a gift from me, and I won't accept your money." ”

"Forget it, it's useless." Jiang Zhilian opened her mouth and asked, "How much?" Back to you. ”

Cui Nian didn't take this stubble, he craned his neck and looked into the room, and sniffed exaggeratedly, "What's so fragrant?" What about eating? ”

Jiang Zhilian nodded, "I moved into the new house today and invited some guests to celebrate." ”

"It's such a coincidence, then it's okay to add me a pair of chopsticks, right?!" Cui Nian pointed to the cardboard box and said with a smile: "The color TV is worth the price of this meal, and I don't count it as white food." You also accept the gift with peace of mind, killing two birds with one stone! ”

Without waiting for Jiang Zhilian to refuse this proposal, Cui Nian had already walked into the room leisurely.

She couldn't drive people away in front of so many people in the house, so she had to let him go.

"Master, you also come into the house to rest and eat together!"

The two masters rejected Jiang Zhilian's kindness, and after moving the things to the living room, they left.

When Jiang Zhilian returned to the dining table, Cui Nian had already greeted everyone familiarly.

He was quite low-key, only saying that he had opened a small electrical appliance store, and did not mention the snow wolf leather shoe factory.

"This house is well built!" Cui Nian is a rich boy born with a golden soup spoon, and his childhood was spent in a luxury villa, so his taste and vision are naturally not too bad.

Although it is simple everywhere, it is full of sophisticated design and forward-thinking ideas.

Jiang Zhilian smiled faintly, "Thank you for the compliment." ”

Cui Nian took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, wiped his chopsticks again, and then began to eat.

"Tsk, that's exquisite! Boss Cui, are you disgusted that our chopsticks are not clean? From the moment Cui Nian entered the door, Zhu Baomei looked at him unpleasantly.

This hypocritical posture and awkward appearance make people's eyes hurt.

Cui Nian followed the sound and looked up, only to see that the person who spoke was a sturdy eldest sister, with a fat head and big ears, a mouth full of oil, and a vegetable leaf on her teeth.

"Cough, cough, cough......" Cui Nian's whole person was not good, and he suddenly had goosebumps all over his body.

Jiang Zhilian opened her mouth to relieve the siege and said: "Aunt Baomei, he has this habit of wiping the dishes several times when he goes to eat anywhere. You don't have to worry about him! Hurry up and eat while it's hot! ”

Cui Nian glanced at Jiang Zhilian gratefully, but he still drank a large glass of cold water before he eased up.

As soon as he entered the room, he quickly scanned the people present, but he did not find the person he was expecting.

After thinking about it, he felt that it was not good to ask directly, so he asked Jiang Zhilian sideways, "Who are these, don't you introduce them to me?" ”

Jiang Zhilian didn't care too much, and replied casually: "The person who said you just now is Aunt Baomei, and the two people sitting on her left are Liu Mei and Caitou, both from the sauce factory. You should have met Xiaoyan last time we had dinner, and she was a good friend of mine. ”

Jiang Zhilian said and pointed to her side, and said, "This is Xiu'er, this is Youting, they are all my sisters." ”

"Oh......" Cui Nian nodded, paused, and asked casually: "What about your sister?" Didn't come? ”

"She's in a literacy class! He also held a number of positions. I've probably been busy lately, and I haven't seen her in a while. Jiang Zhilian suddenly remembered that Cui Nian had kidnapped the eldest sister, had a bad idea of the eldest sister, and tried to do it!

She immediately put down her chopsticks, looked at Cui Nian seriously, and reminded: "I'll tell you, Cui Nian, don't worry about my sister!" ”

Cui Nian narrowed his gaze and opened his mouth in a low voice, "Why can't you worry about it?" ”

"Why can't you bother that you don't know?" Jiang Zhilian's eyes were sharp, "My sister is the kind of person who is very serious and attentive in everything she does. Honest girl, I can't afford to play with you. You dare to provoke my sister and make her hurt, I'm not done with you! ”

Cui Nian stuffed his head and ate the peanuts in front of him, and he was speechless for a long time.

Jiang Zhilian felt that something was wrong, she bumped Cui Nian's arm, "What's your situation?" I was moved by my sister, but I didn't get it, so I was unwilling? ”

"It's not." Cui Nian denied it.

"What's that?" Jiang Zhilian raised her eyebrows, "Don't tell me, you are serious about my sister." I'm telling you, I don't believe it! ”

Cui Nian showed a hurt expression, "You are prejudiced against me. ”

"Pull it down!" Jiang Zhilian snorted, "Last time I went to look for you, I saw a girl with long hair running out of your barn!" Less serious people. When you play, find girls who can afford to play, and when you get married, find a woman who is the right person and has the same strength. No matter how stingy you are, you have to have a little conscience as a human being. ”

"The one who ran out of the warehouse is ......" Cui Nian wanted to speak and stopped, "Hey, forget it!" ”

Jiang Zhilian pursed her lips, "So it's mysterious!" I'm not interested in the warblers you're looking for. Although I promised to watch you for your father, I won't interfere in this kind of thing, you just need to control the proportions. ”

Cui Nian: "......"

Everyone finished eating lively, and they didn't rush back.

Liu Mei helped clean up the table and wash the dishes and chopsticks; Qiao Dong took over the work of mopping the floor; Cui Nian was in charge of installing the TV; Wu Tao and Meng Guohui went to the courtyard to smoke and talk......

Others sat idly on the sofa in the living room, eating fruits, munching on melon seeds, and chatting casually.

Chen Shufen served tea and poured water for the guests, and was so busy that her feet did not touch the ground. But the days are getting better and better, so that she always has a happy smile on her face.

The relationship between Meng Qing and Jiang Zhilian was made public, and everyone caught them and teased them for a while.

However, seeing that Meng Qing's interest was not very high, he was afraid that the joke would make him unhappy, so he grasped the measure.

In a harmonious scene, there are actually many people who have something on their minds.

Meng Qing was thinking about whether to go to college;

Youting was worried about Grandpa Tang and Tang Xiaolong......

Even Mu Jiaojiao was a little more silent than usual, I don't know if it was because she was easily tired when she was pregnant with a child, or if something happened.

Jiang Zhilian knows that a person's ability is limited, and there are many things that you want to help, but you may not be able to help.

For many things, you can only choose to be a bystander and wait and see.

Unless the other person is seeking your help, or the situation is really critical, it's best not to intervene lightly.

The world is too complicated, and it is not easy to manage yourself.

"Second sister, let's go now, shall we?" Jiang Youting walked over and whispered in Jiang Zhilian's ear.

Jiang Zhilian glanced at the time, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go talk to my aunt." ”

Meng Qing had been paying attention to Jiang Zhilian, and when she saw her get up and was about to leave, she went over and asked her, "Where are you going?" ”

Jiang Zhilian replied softly, "Youting and I are going to visit Grandpa Tang." ”

Meng Qing: "I'll go with you, Ji Lao told me about Teacher Tang's illness." ”
