On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Tan Man woke up early, and sent a WeChat message to Gu Mochen on the bed, asking them where they were going to play today, and after waiting for about ten minutes, the other party replied and took Xiaobei to the orchard on the outskirts of the city to pick strawberries.

Tan Man was a little surprised, he didn't expect that he, a foreigner, would come here like a local expert, and he could even think of a place like a strawberry farm, so he didn't bother them anymore.

In the morning, she accompanied Tan Weiguo to the market to buy vegetables, and Aunt Xu came from her house as usual, and the three of them cooked and ate together.

At lunchtime, Tan Weiguo got up and went to the Humble Administrator's Garden in the afternoon, saying that he hadn't been there for many years.

"Another day, my high school classmates will have a small gathering this afternoon, and I won't come back for dinner in the evening."

She lied without blushing and heartbeat, Tan Weiguo was not suspicious, and the trip to the Humble Administrator's Garden was abandoned.

At about five o'clock, she received Gu Mochen's WeChat:

"I'm downstairs at your house."

Tan Man, who had already changed her clothes and put on makeup, trotted downstairs all the way, the black Audi stopped outside the community with double flashing lights, Gu Mochen saw her from a distance, so he got out of the car first, went around to the other end and opened the co-pilot's door.

Today's Gu Mochen rarely wore a light gray casual hooded jacket, a pair of dark blue slim jeans, and a black pullover sweater inside the jacket. Coincidentally, Tan Man is also dressed in a similar jacket and jeans today, at first glance, it feels a bit like a couple.

As soon as Tan Man met, he noticed it, and said with a smile: "You are so handsome dressed today, I almost forgot that you are already in your thirties." ”

Gu Mochen knew that she was deliberate, smiled silently, and motioned for her to get in the car.

As soon as he got in the car, Tan Man reached out and pinched Xiaobei's face in the back row, and said, "I heard that you went to pick strawberries today, isn't it fun?" ”

Gu Zhoubei took off his down jacket at this moment and wore a sweater alone, his hair was still sweaty, obviously having a lot of fun.

"Hmm!" He pointed to a box of exquisitely packaged fruit pots next to him, "This is for you, I picked them." ”

"Thank you!" She turned her head and asked Gu Mochen, "Why did you suddenly think of picking strawberries?" ”

"That strawberry farm was opened by one of my roommates when I was an undergrad and his friend, not only growing strawberries, but also a farm, and there are restaurants in it. As he spoke, he stared at his phone and set up a navigation.

"So we're going to eat at that farm in a moment?" Seeing that he had a good idea of the itinerary, Tan asked.

"Well, or do you want something else?" He turned his head to look at her.

Tan Man shook his head: "I don't have an idea, so I'll go there." ”

Where do you want to eat, what do you want to eat, is the most difficult question for her, every time she goes out with Qiao Ning, the two of them have to struggle for this for a long time, so she wants to find a boyfriend who can make decisions and make ideas, and she just eats by herself.

The car followed the navigation for more than half an hour and came to a farm on the outskirts of the city.

Tan Man suddenly felt that she was a local who had lived in Suzhou for nearly 20 years, and she couldn't compare to a foreigner, the area where the farm was located, she had never been there, although the location was remote, but it didn't affect the business at all, even during the Chinese New Year, there were still a lot of cars parked on the parking apron at the door, and there was a lot of people inside.

The farm covers a large area, the decoration is mainly bamboo, there are halls and private rooms, it looks clean and tidy, because of the Chinese New Year, it is also decorated with a lot of small lanterns and neon lights, which is more lively.

Tan Man led Xiaobei to follow Gu Mochen, and as soon as he entered the hall, the waiter asked and took them to a private room.

Before entering the door, Tan Man pulled Gu Mochen's sleeve and asked curtly, "No one else this time, right?" ”

Gu Mochen thought about it, suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "There is really no one else this time." ”

She was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, and the last time she was fooled by him, she had an inexplicable meal with a group of people, and was coaxed for a long time, she still remembered it vividly, so she asked cautiously: "Didn't you say that this is the farm opened by your college classmates?" He doesn't show up? ”

Gu Mochen stretched out his hand and put his arm around her shoulders and led her into the room: "Today, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, people are accompanying their wives back to their parents' house, so I can't come over, don't worry." ”

At this time, a middle-aged woman walked in with a smile: "Mr. Gu, Jiang Bo has explained to me, and asked me to treat you well, he has already ordered you dishes, all of which are our signature dishes, he said, it's delicious, it's not enough to order more, it's all on his account." ”

Gu Mochen nodded politely at her: "Then trouble you, boss lady." ”

When the proprietress closed the door, Tan Man sighed:

"This kind of 'confidant in the sea, if the end of the world is next to each other' feels so good, although my university is not as good as yours, but how can it be ranked number one in the country, why don't I have this kind of 'you eat as you like, on my account' friends?"

"Who was still teasing me just now, huh?" Gu Mochen poured her tea, with a bit of a man's pride in his eyes, "This is the benefit of thirty." ”

"Thirty-one flowers, I'm praising you." Tan Man winked at him, looking flattering and obedient, of course she didn't realize that this expression was discharging to him.

And Gu Mochen was obviously electrified, looking at the little face with red lips and white teeth in front of him, he shook his head for a while, for a second, he really wanted to pull her over regardless of it, and pull her over for anything.

He swallowed, distracted himself, and poured some boiling water into Xiaobei's cup.

"Are your college classmates so good?" Tan Man asked.

"Both?" He raised his eyebrows slightly, "You've just seen a few of my college classmates say that." ”

Tan Man counted eloquently: "Your partner Xiao Zhi, the legal aid lawyer Chen Rui, and now Jiang Bo, who is the boss behind the scenes, and then you." After speaking, she thought of something again, and said with a wicked smile, "Oh, there is another one, who is paired with your talented and beautiful woman, your confidante Ye Chen." ”

In fact, after returning from Shanghai that day, Tan Man was curious, and specially went online to flesh that Ye Chen, and found that the other party was also a well-known writer.

"Hearing you say that, I found that my old classmates seem to be doing well."

Gu Mochen took a sip of tea calmly and avoided her trap properly.

Tan Man's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly pursed his mouth and snorted: "You admit it!" ”

He laughed: "Admit what? ”

"Admit that she is your confidante."

Xiao Bei, who was sitting on the side playing with Gu Mochen's mobile phone, suddenly raised his head and interjected: "Manman, what is a confidante?" ”

"Let your brother explain it to you, he has experience!"

Gu Zhoubei's eyes rolled and he looked at his brother next to him.

Gu Mochen chuckled a little deliberately, and really explained: "Confidante, to put it simply, is a very good female friend." ”

Gu Zhoubei seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and became interested, so he lowered his head and continued to play with his mobile phone.

Gu Mochen's gaze returned to her face, his small mouth was still slightly pursed, he knew that she did it on purpose, but he still coaxed patiently: "I said, she is nothing, don't think about it." ”

While talking, there was a knock on the door, and the pre-ordered dishes were all served at one time, with all the color, flavor, and flavor, even in the greasy New Year, it was appetizing to watch.

"What do you usually do for Chinese New Year and Daddy?" While eating, he asked.

"There is nothing special in our family, and there are not many relatives, so every year for the New Year, it is basically the same as usual, two people eat and sleep, sleep and eat, and occasionally go to the neighborhood for a walk." She took a sip of the soup, "What about you?" ”

He smiled lightly: "Almost, I am usually busy all day, and finally it is the Chinese New Year, and I am only a few days free, and I will take Xiaobei out for a vacation, but it is also two people." ”

I don't know why, every time he says these things lightly, she always wants to hug him, and then hug Xiaobei, although she is also unlucky, but she has also enjoyed seventeen years of happy family life, but they seem to have always been incomplete.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Gu Mochen glanced at her and saw through her thoughts: "But this year, it's a lot more lively." ”

Tan Man smiled, scooped a spoonful of shrimp egg custard into the Xiaobei bowl: "Eating this egg custard, I suddenly thought of one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Li Zhu called me a few years ago." She looked up at him, "He said, you got him a job as a warehouse manager, said that you want to thank you, and wanted to send you eggs, I told him that I was not in Shanghai, and he said that I would give you back after the year." ”

Gu Mochen hooked the corners of his mouth: "He's polite, why don't you help me refuse?" ”

"I wasn't your person at that time, how could I advocate for you." Tan Man smiled, "By the way, why did you suddenly think about introducing him to a job?" ”

"Xiaoqin's sexual assault, his wife was pregnant and fainted on the day he helped pay the medical bills, and the time when the doctor made a fuss, I know you really want to help him, but it seems that you just want to find an excuse to stuff money into people?"

"I think Xiaoqin is pitiful, she is my first student who led a class after graduation, I hope she can receive an education smoothly, financial difficulties are a big problem for their family, I don't know how to help except give money, but you seem to stop me every time."

"No matter what the economy is, it can be seen that he is a strong man, and if you give people money, maybe it will be embarrassing?"

"But I always give money under natural circumstances." She quibbled.

Gu Mochen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm a man, I understand what he thinks, besides, you helped him pay once, can you help him solve other economic problems in the future?" ”

She pursed her lips, a little frustrated: "Of course I know that it is better to give people fish than to give them fish, but I am not as powerful as you." ”

He smiled and sandwiched a piece of beef for her: "So, tell me what you will need to do in the future, and let me, a man with thirty pluses, do it for you." ”

Tan Man suddenly thought of a sentence,

A boyfriend is the one who can give you a hug when you need it, tell you that I'm here, let me come.
