Meng Qing noticed that a lot of cigarette butts were lost at her feet.

How much is this pumping? ……

Usually he wouldn't be nosy, but thinking that Lin Xiaolu was Jiang Zhilian's friend, he couldn't help but stop and hesitate.

In the end, he stepped forward and kindly persuaded: "This kind of smoke is very harmful to the body. If you really want to smoke, buy some paper cigarettes with a lower tar content! ”

Lin Xiaolu didn't expect Meng Qing to take the initiative to come over and say this.

Even though she knew that he had no other intentions or ideas, she was still extremely excited in her heart.

"Thank you for the reminder!" Lin Xiaolu lifted the half of the cigarette between his fingertips, and said a little helplessly: "I'm used to smoking this taste, and it's not enough to change anything else." ”

Meng Qing nodded and didn't say anything more.

He has already put forward his opinion, and whether he listens to it or not is the person's own business.

Just as he turned around and was about to leave, Lin Xiaolu threw away the half-smoked cigarette and called him softly, "Wait a minute!" ”

"Is there anything else?" Meng Qing looked at Lin Xiaolu and waited for her next step.

"......" Lin Xiaolu hurriedly took his eyes off him, stared at the cigarette butts on the ground, and fell silent.

Why did she stop him? She didn't know it herself.

"That, listen to Lianwa, you're a veterinarian?" casually picking out a topic, it's a bit inexplicable, but fortunately, it breaks the embarrassment of silence between the two.

Meng Qing nodded and replied succinctly: "Yes! ”

He didn't ask.

It is clear that whether it is his posture and expression, or his attitude and language, there is a clear meaning.

That is, he had no intention of making small talk with her.

Lin Xiaolu was not stupid, and felt the sense of distance he created.

A solid barrier was erected in front of her, and her heart was a little uncomfortable.

Why is this happening when there is no hope?

Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Meng Qing opened her mouth and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Lin Xiaolu smiled, originally she wanted to laugh freely, but in fact, it was sad, "If there is no matter, can't we talk about it?" ”

Meng Qing frowned slightly: "......"

Lin Xiaolu took half a step forward, "Lianwa is much more enthusiastic than you. ”

"I still have something to do, so I'll go first." Meng Qing didn't stay for a second, turned around and left neatly.

He didn't intend to speculate on Lin Xiaolu's purpose and intentions, he didn't have this spare time at all.

Lin Xiaolu stared blankly at his departing back, and unconsciously took out a cigarette and lit it.

In the smoke of the clouds, his handsome and tall figure loomed, fading away until he disappeared.

Jiang Zhilian came to the guest house and went upstairs directly.

At the corner of the stairs, she heard Zhu Baomei's scream.

Her instincts told her that something was wrong!

Rushing to the room, I saw Zhu Baomei grabbing Mu Qitai's collar with her thick and powerful arms and pressing him against the door panel.

"You still want to do it, you? Didn't fight enough last time, didn't you? ”

Mu Qitai pulled Zhu Baomei's fingers, "You let go!" ”

Zhu Baomei's finger joints were cut out of blood, but she still held Zhu Qitai's collar and had no intention of letting go.

Mu Qitai was strangled to the point that he couldn't breathe, and he felt that it was unsightly and extremely humiliating to scuffle with a rural village woman like this.

As a result, the face became more and more ugly.

His patience was approaching the limit, and his anger rushed to the peak, and at this time, he couldn't care about Old Man Mu's advice.

A brute force surged up, he twisted Zhu Baomei's wrist, pushed hard, and pushed the person out.

Zhu Baomei stumbled and quickly stood firm.

She pointed at Mu Qitai's nose and scolded, "You give me out!" ”

Mu Qitai grinded his teeth, ignored Zhu Baomei's existence, and walked into the room.

Mu Jiaojiao sat on the bed without moving, she raised her head and looked at her father expressionlessly.

"If you don't want to talk to me, come back with me! You don't want to go back to the provincial capital, you can. I've talked to your grandfather, and we'll give you time. Come with us to the western suburbs first! ”

Mu Qitai said in a slow tone: "When you are older in the future, you will understand our hard work." ”

Mu Jiaojiao shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Dad, I don't want to say a word to you, how can I go back with you?" ”

"Mu Jiaojiao! You're almost done, haven't you had enough trouble after so long? There must be a limit to the temperament! Mu Qitai kicked the leg of the bed.

The wooden bed was not too sturdy, and it shook slightly twice.

"Hey!" Seeing that the situation was wrong, Zhu Baomei immediately stepped forward and blocked Mu Qitai with her body, "You've finished what you want to say, right?" I don't think Jiaojiao wants to talk to you at all, please leave quickly! ”

When Mu Qitai saw Zhu Baomei's face, he felt disgusted.

He didn't care about decency, his eyes glared angrily, and he scolded, "Get out!" ”

"Oops, run to my territory and let me get out, you're really a bit of a funny sufferer!" Zhu Baomei crossed her hands on her hips, "Look at you like this, do you want to beat me?" You fight! Famous architects, beating women, this spreads, and your Mu family's face will be bright. ”

Jiang Zhilian stood outside the door, never finding a suitable opportunity to enter.

Hearing this at this time, I not only felt that Aunt Baomei's combat effectiveness was still strong, but also that her tactics and tactics had improved.

At the same time, he chuckled in his heart, feeling that Mu Qitai would definitely not be able to stand this threat.

She was afraid that the two would really fight, so she hurriedly walked into the room.

"It's so lively!" Jiang Zhilian pinched Zhu Baomei's arm to show comfort.

She glanced at Mu Qitai, and then lowered her eyes to look at Mu Jiaojiao, "Your dad is here?" ”

The moment she saw Jiang Zhilian, Mu Jiaojiao's heart suddenly became a lot more steady.

She nodded, and gave a very soft "um".

Jiang Zhilian stood beside Mu Jiaojiao, put her hands on her shoulders, and asked softly, "How are you doing lately?" ”

Mu Jiaojiao: "It was okay a few days ago. ”

"It's a bad day!" Jiang Zhilian paused, and then asked, "Have you painted?" ”

"I drew some sketches, this one is not finished yet." Mu Jiaojiao looked down at the painting on her lap, her long hair hanging down, covering half of her face, looking fragile and helpless.

After a few small talks, the previously tense atmosphere in the room eased slightly.

"Mr. Mu." Jiang Zhilian looked at Mu Qitai, "Your family is really powerful, you found Jiaojiao so quickly!" Admire! ”

"......" Mu Qitai had a calm red face, and he looked like he was still angry.

The corners of Jiang Zhilian's mouth lifted up, glanced at the three of them, and said briskly: "Look at the dejected appearance of a few of you!" I've been arguing for a long time, are you thirsty? Drink some tea? ”

Mu Jiaojiao shook her head with a shrunken head.

Zhu Baomei said in a loud voice: "The tea is hot and troublesome, I'll just go and get some cold water to drink." ”

Mu Qitai was silent, he actually wanted to leave, but he felt that things had not been done. If you just leave, wouldn't it be in vain?

Besides, it's not easy to explain to the old man when I go back.

Jiang Zhilian took out four glasses from the drawer, poured a cup of cold white and gave it to Zhu Baomei.

Brewed a cup of milk powder for Mu Jiaojiao.

I brewed two more cups of hairy tips, handed Mu Qitai a cup, and kept one for myself.

The three women sat in a row on the edge of the bed, Mu Jiaojiao was in the middle, Jiang Zhilian and Zhu Baomei were left and right, like left and right protectors.

Mu Qitai moved a wooden bench and sat down directly across from them, forming a confrontation scene.

The stools were crudely made and a little old. As soon as he moved, there was a squeak.

Jiang Zhilian took a sip of tea, pursed her lips, shook her head and said, "This stool is really not good, it looks like it's about to fall apart." It's far worse than what my uncle did. When it comes to carpentry work, we still have to be arbors! ”

Zhu Baomei echoed: "Then you still need to say? The bench made by Qiao Dong, I stand on it and jump casually, and it won't fall apart! ”

Hearing them talk about Qiao Dong, a smile finally appeared on Mu Jiaojiao's face.

Mu Qitai snorted lightly, no matter how powerful he is, the carpenter is just a carpenter.

"Architect Mu!" Jiang Zhilian raised her eyes and looked at Mu Qitai, "Your design drawings, are they particularly well drawn?" ”

"......" Mu Qitai drank tea with his head bored.

What nonsense is this!

It's too layman's!

Jiang Zhilian said in a low voice: "Those high-rise buildings, parks, concert halls, or so on that you designed...... It should be full of artistic and humanistic atmosphere, right? And there are exquisite designs everywhere, which make people breathtake their breath and applaud when they look at it. Right? ”

Mu Qitai: "You don't need to compliment me!" ”

Jiang Zhilian curled the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly, "I haven't finished speaking, how do you know that I'm complimenting you!" Perhaps, I'm scolding you? ”

Mu Qitai: "......"
