Before the Mu family returned to the provincial capital, they went to a vegetarian restaurant for a meal.

The weather was exceptionally nice that day, with clear skies and sunny skies.

The average temperature is twenty-five degrees, neither hot nor cold.

The breeze is very pleasant.

The eight members of the Mu family packed all their luggage and drove directly from the western suburbs to the vegetarian restaurant.

After they were ready to eat this lunch, they set off directly back to the provincial capital.

Jiang Zhilian took the group to the largest box on the second floor.

Both windows were wide open, and the occasional breeze blew and the grass-green curtains were gently lifted.

Two pots of white jasmine flowers sit on the windowsill, drenching the room with a fragrant fragrance.

Eight people sat down around the round table, Old Man Mu looked at the room carefully, then turned his eyes to look at Jiang Zhilian, and asked lightly, "What about Jiaojiao?" Hasn't she come yet? ”

"Aunt Nie should be here soon! Drink some tea and rest for a while! As soon as Jiang Zhilian's words fell, Liao Mei, a waiter on the second floor, walked in with a teapot and poured the freshly brewed West Lake Longjing into the teacups in front of everyone.

Old Man Mu frowned slightly, raised his wrist to look at his watch, and muttered in a low voice: "I said I was going to eat here at twelve o'clock at noon, but she was late again!" This kid still doesn't have any sense of time. ”

When Jiang Zhilian heard this, she also hurriedly glanced at the time, "It's only 11:57, and there are still three minutes!" ”

Old Man Mu pursed his lips, "It seems that she can come over in three minutes!" ”

"Maybe!" Jiang Zhilian stood at the door of the box and looked into the corridor.

At this time, Mu Jiaojiao's figure just appeared in her field of vision.

Jiang Zhilian secretly waved her hand.

Mu Jiaojiao was slightly stunned, subconsciously lightened her steps, and slowly walked forward.

"Before the time you agreed upon, you concluded that your aunt has no concept of time, which is not right!" Jiang Zhilian raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "As a famous architectural designer, it doesn't seem appropriate to look at the problem so loosely, right?" Moreover, it doesn't seem to be good to look at people in such a preconceived way. What if my aunt arrives on time? What do you do? Do you want to swallow back what you just said? ”

Old Man Mu: "......"

He just said casually, who would have thought that he would attract such a large amount of criticism!

After listening to Jiang Zhilian's words, Mu Jiaojiao guessed what was going on.

She stood aside with a smile, waiting to see the play.

Mrs. Mu was in a good mood, and when she saw that the old man was choked and couldn't speak, she asked Jiang Zhilian instead, "What do you say is better?" ”

Jiang Zhilian had a flash of inspiration, "That's it, if the little aunt arrives on time, your whole family will make up a wedding gift for her, how about it?" ”

Mrs. Mu looked at her wife, smiled and nodded.

Old Man Mu thought for two seconds and responded, "Okay!" OK! ”

Mu Jiaojiao's eyes widened in surprise, covering her mouth, looking incredulous.

She only thought that Jiang Zhilian was joking, and she didn't expect that her grandfather would cooperate with this childish betting game.

"Dangdangdang-" Jiang Zhilian turned to the side and made a gesture of please, "Welcome to Ms. Mu Jiaojiao's grand debut!" ”

Inside, the Mu family looked at the door in unison.

Mu Jiaojiao appeared at the door in a plain white dress.

Jiang Zhilian looked at her watch and said, "It's eleven 58:042 seconds, and my aunt is on time and not late." ”

Mrs. Mu greeted with a smile on her face: "Jiaojiao is here, come and sit down!" ”

Mu Jiaojiao sat down in the empty seat, her expression a little unnatural.

Jiang Zhilian glanced at Old Man Mu and found that he was not unhappy because he lost the bet, but a shallow smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

Perhaps, they originally wanted to give their aunt a wedding gift, but they couldn't find the right opportunity and excuse, right?

After all, he was so opposed before, and he never accepted Qiao Dong.

If you think about it from another perspective, this kind of tangled psychology and complex emotions are still understandable.

Jiang Zhilian winked at Old Man Mu, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows rose upward, smiled brightly, and said loudly: "Grandpa, a gentleman is hard to chase after a horse!" Don't forget to cash out! ”

Old Man Mu coughed lightly, tapped the table with his fingers, and asked in a deep voice, "What about the menu in your store?" ”

Liao Mei had already prepared five menus, and after hearing the old man's words, she immediately walked over and distributed the menu to everyone.

At the Mu family's family dinner, Jiang Zhilian didn't plan to bother too much, and after saying hello, she left the box.

The vegetarian restaurant has been empty for a while, although it will occasionally come to clean, and water and electricity are also in use, but after all, it is about to receive a large number of guests, and Jiang Zhilian still hopes to be able to prepare everything in advance.

Therefore, she asked Zhu Baomei to let Liu Zhuangzhuang come over for a comprehensive inspection.

After Liu Zhuangzhuang heard about this, he didn't delay for a day, and after finishing the work at hand, he immediately came to the vegetarian restaurant.

Jiang Zhilian came from the second floor and saw Liu Zhuangzhuang and Zhu Baomei.

"Aunt Baomei, why are you here too?"

After Zhu Baomei sent her son to check the water and electricity, she walked up to Jiang Zhilian and said in a low voice: "Didn't the Mu family come over for dinner today?" I'm going to have a good time! ”

Jiang Zhilian smiled, "What's so hilarious about this!" Just a meal. ”

Zhu Baomei pointed out the door, "I see that several of their cars are outside, and there are luggage tied to the roof." Is this going straight back to the provincial capital after eating? ”

Jiang Zhilian nodded, "Yes, I'll leave after eating!" ”

"It's not easy!" Zhu Baomei sighed with emotion, "I finally invited these Buddhas away!" ”

Jiang Zhilian: "Have you had lunch with Brother Zhuangzhuang?" ”

Zhu Baomei: "I came directly from the sauce factory, but I haven't eaten it yet." After Zhuang Zhuang finished the work of the previous family, he rushed to your side, and he probably didn't care about eating! ”

Jiang Zhilian saw Liao Mei coming down from upstairs, so she stepped forward to take the menu from her, "There's nothing going on in the box, right?" ”

Liao Mei shook her head, "It's okay." ”

Jiang Zhilian advised: "That's okay, Sister Liao, you take care of it more!" ”

"Got it." Liao Mei said and went upstairs again.

Jiang Zhilian glanced at the menu, and then asked Zhu Baomei: "Aunt Baomei, what do you and Brother Zhuang want to eat?" ”

Zhu Baomei glanced at the menu in Jiang Zhilian's hand from a distance, and asked rhetorically, "What did they order?" ”

Jiang Zhilian lowered her head, looked at the contents on the list, and read them one by one: "Celery lily, tiger skin green pepper, rock sugar lotus root, braised beans in oil, garlic amaranth, toon tofu mixed with tofu, mapo tofu, mushroom fried lettuce, pine nut tofu, snow cabbage bean skin, and fried bean curd." The staple they asked for sesame pumpkin pie, onion pancakes and flower rolls. ”

Zhu Baomei thought for a while, "Which dish has more ingredients, you can make us one more by the way." I am not picky eaters with Zhuang Zhuang, we eat everything. ”

Jiang Zhilian: "Okay, you sit down and wait, I'll go to the back kitchen to get busy." ”

Zhu Baomei waved her hand, "Don't worry about us, you're busy!" ”

Half an hour later, Liu Zhuangzhuang checked all the water and electricity, came to Zhu Baomei and sat down, "There is no problem, everything is fine." ”

Then Gao Le came over, put the two dishes on the table, and asked; "Do you want to eat and buy food, or do you want to roll flowers?"

Zhu Baomei glanced at the dishes on the table, which were tiger skin peppers and snow cabbage tofu, which were full of two large plates, full of portions.

"Bring us two bowls of rice!"

"Good!" Gao Le said as he returned to the back kitchen.

Two minutes later, he brought out two more dishes, stir-fried lettuce with mushrooms and pine nut tofu.

Zhu Baomei smacked her tongue and said to Gao Le: "These are enough, you ask Lianwa not to get any more." ”

Gao Le nodded obediently, "I'll go serve you rice right away." ”

Liu Zhuangzhuang was hungry for a long time, and when he saw the dishes on the table, his saliva immediately flowed. He hurriedly picked up his chopsticks and devoured them.

Zhu Baomei: "Eat slowly, don't choke!" ”

When Gao Le came out with two bowls of rice, he saw that the tiger skin pepper had been eaten, and only a piece of oil was left at the bottom of the plate.

He was stunned, and then hesitated and asked, "Do you want me to add some more to you?" ”

Zhu Baomei: "No need! If you don't have enough to eat, I'll look for you in the back kitchen. ”

Gao Lemu nodded blankly, "Oh...... Ok ......"
