After a while, Mu Jiaojiao also walked downstairs.

Jiang Zhilian first heard the rhythmic tapping sound of high heels, and then smelled a refreshing fragrance of roses.

Turning his head, a walking feather duster walked happily towards the living room.

Jiang Zhilian showed a relieved expression, only feeling a burst of happiness in her heart.

The originals are all back!

It's good that things are back to normal......

"Have you invited Aunt Baomei? Is she coming over today? Jiang Zhilian stood beside the sofa, nibbling on a crisp and sweet red apple.

Mu Jiaojiao walked over, sat on the armrest of the sofa, and replied with a pout: "Aunt Bao Mei can't say it." ”

Jiang Zhilian: "Why? ”

"Sulking with us!" Mu Jiaojiao sighed softly, and took a freshly peeled banana from Qiao Dong's hand.

Jiang Zhilian asked with a wry smile, "Is it because (the fastest release) that we persuaded Brother Zhuang to go to the provincial capital?" ”

"Hmm." Mu Jiaojiao nodded, took a big bite of the banana, and said while eating: "She said that after she went home, the more she thought about it, the more she regretted it." No matter how good it is, there is no need to be in such a hurry. Aunt Bao Mei probably came back to her taste and felt that you had fooled her. ”

Jiang Zhilian stuck out her little tongue, "This...... I feel a little wronged. ”

"I guess it would be good to receive a letter from Brother Zhuang in a few days, Aunt Bao is not the kind of person who holds grudges." Mu Jiaojiao said and threw the banana peel to Qiao Dong.

Qiao Dong then put a small orange that had just been peeled and put it in his daughter-in-law's hand.

Mu Jiaojiao naturally took it and ate it.

Jiang Zhilian looked at her aunt with a smile.

This dog food is really refreshing.

Uncle and aunt are really like glue as always!

Jiang Zhilian suddenly thought of a question, so she asked, "After Brother Zhuang arrived in the provincial capital, didn't he call back?" ”

"It's definitely going to be hit! As soon as he arrived in the provincial capital, Brother Zhuang was in the phone booth next to the train station and called their village. Mu Jiaojiao looked at Jiang Zhilian and said with a smile: "Otherwise, Aunt Bao Mei wouldn't have jumped her feet early and come over to take care of you!" ”

Jiang Zhilian raised her eyebrows lightly, pursed her lips and smiled, "Yes, it makes sense." ”

Mu Jiaojiao: "Brother Zhuang calls every day, and every time he cries, he chokes Bao Mei and Aunt Bao upset." Yesterday I went to the sauce factory to look for her, and I saw that she had lost a lot of weight. It is estimated that he feels sorry for Brother Zhuangzhuang, and he worries every day and can't help, so it may be that he can't sleep well and can't eat well! ”

"Brother Zhuang is crying on the phone?" Jiang Zhilian couldn't help laughing.

Mu Jiaojiao smiled and nodded, "Well, it was Aunt Bao Mei who told me." At that time, I wanted to laugh, but when I saw her sad face, I couldn't help it. ”

Jiang Zhilian: "Hey, Brother Zhuang was too well protected by Aunt Bao before. But it's also a good thing to get outside and exercise to promote growth. ”

Meng Qing happened to go to the bathroom and came back, and when he heard this sentence when he passed by, he interjected and said, "Didn't you say that men are children who don't grow up all their lives, and only women will continue to grow?" ”

Jiang Zhilian glanced at him, "Go, go, the woman speaks, and the man stays by the side!" ”

Meng Qing: "......"

This is a typical double standard, right?

After driving Meng Qing away, Jiang Zhilian sat on the armrest of the sofa next to Mu Jiaojiao, "You go on!" ”

Mu Jiaojiao played with the creases on the hem of her skirt and said lightly: "When Brother Zhuang called Aunt Baomei for the first time, he said that he was homesick, and then he started crying, crying for several minutes, and was finally taken away by the Mu family. ”

Jiang Zhilian felt that there were already vivid pictures in front of her, and the scenes were full of comedy.

The next day, Brother Zhuang said that there were many people and cars in the provincial capital, and the road was not easy to remember, so he was lost several times. Then I cried again without saying a word, and I couldn't stop crying. ”

Mu Jiaojiao said and took Jiang Zhilian's arm, naturally and affectionately, "Brother Zhuang now lives in a school dormitory, and the uncle in the commissary downstairs was stunned when he saw him crying like that, and thought something was wrong, so he dragged him and chatted for more than three hours, for fear that he would not want to jump off the building." ”

Jiang Zhilian clutched her stomach and laughed, "Hahahahaha...... It's so funny! This uncle is such a good man! ”

"Brother Zhuang used to think that he was quite smart, he learned everything quickly, and he knew a lot of things. Now I am studying with a few teachers, and I can't keep up with it, so I'm in a hurry. ”

Mu Jiaojiao said and took two small oranges peeled by Qiao Dong from the plate, one was fed to Jiang Zhilian's mouth by hand, and the other was eaten by herself, and then continued: "The teachers are busy, and they can't teach so carefully by hand. They may also think that the basics can be taught simply, after all, it is not too difficult. As a result, when Brother Zhuang heard this, he was even more stressed. ”

Jiang Zhilian restrained her smile and said seriously: "Will this help the seedlings grow?" Don't let your enthusiasm and confidence go away! ”

Mu Jiaojiao shook her head, "If you lose your enthusiasm and confidence in this way, it will only be more difficult in the future." You have to get through it in order to make progress little by little! ”

Jiang Zhilian: "Brother Zhuang must have no problem!" I think he has a lot of determination and perseverance. It's okay to cry and vent appropriately, which can avoid the backlog of negative emotions. Aunt Bao Mei is so optimistic and strong, her son must not be far behind! ”

"Well, my cousin-in-law should take care of him, it's not a big problem." Mu Jiaojiao was silent for two seconds, and then said: "Brother Zhuang, we can't help for the time being, let's find a way to make Aunt Bao happy first!" ”

Jiang Zhilian touched her chin and thought for a moment, "In the afternoon, I will go to the sauce factory to see Aunt Baomei and try to coax her well." ”

Mu Jiaojiao patted Jiang Zhilian on the shoulder, "Lianwa is out of the horse, a top girl!" ”

Jiang Zhilian smiled, stood up, picked up the ingredients and walked towards the kitchen, "I'm going to cook!" ”

Mu Jiaojiao followed her, "I'll give you a hand." ”

"Forget it, I'm afraid you'll help more and more!" Jiang Zhilian turned her head to look for Meng Qing's figure, and found that this gentleman was very conscious and had already gotten up and walked over.

She squeezed her eyes at Mu Jiaojiao, and said with a thief smile: "I just have Meng Qing, you should accompany today's birthday star more!" ”

"It's fine." Mu Jiaojiao turned around with a smile, took two steps, and stopped again when she thought of something.

She turned her head to look at Jiang Zhilian and said, "What about your aunt and brother-in-law?" But why don't you come to eat? By the way, I see that Youting seems to be back, so let them all come over! It's not far away, it's rare to get together! ”

Jiang Zhilian: "My aunt has a small one on her body now, which is not very convenient." Youting also has a heavy academic load and has to do homework at home. So, I didn't come over. ”

"Oh......" Mu Jiaojiao nodded thoughtfully, "Yes, you do have to be careful when carrying a child." ”

Jiang Zhilian's heart trembled slightly, worried that Mu Jiaojiao would be sad when she thought of her lost child, so she called tentatively: "Little aunt......"

"I'm fine!" Mu Jiaojiao smiled, "If I hadn't thought about it, I wouldn't have changed into this set of clothes!" I never dwell on things that don't have fate. What is in the past, let it pass! You don't have to worry about me, I'm fine. ”

Jiang Zhilian didn't know what to say at this time, so she only gave Mu Jiaojiao a bright smile back.

At half past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the vegan banquet officially began.

Before everyone moved the chopsticks, the birthday star Qiao Dong received a wave of gifts.

Sister Qiao Ruiling and brother-in-law Meng Guohui gave a gold pen.

"You didn't like to study before, and my sister didn't see you doing your homework much." Qiao Ruiling said with a smile: "But I heard that you have been reading every day and night recently, and you are very diligent. So, I'll talk to your brother-in-law about giving you a fountain pen. Anyway, it should be able to be used. ”

"Thank you, sister, thank you, brother-in-law!" Qiao Dong was so moved that he hugged his sister who was sitting beside him.

Qiao Ruiling patted his arm and encouraged: "Since you want to learn, then study hard, you can't give up halfway!" ”

Qiao Dong nodded vigorously, "I know!" ”

Qiao Ruiling said with a smile: "Okay, if you celebrate your birthday today, I won't beat you." ”

"Come on, come on, let's take a look at my gifts!" Mu Jiaojiao couldn't wait to push a pink and tender small box in front of Qiao Dong.
