Chapter 117: A New Member of the Family
After we returned to Chongqing, it was almost noon and close to afternoon, we took a taxi back home, along the way, Li Muyang did not speak, this is the same as the feeling I felt when I left home, I believe, most people are the same, we first put the luggage back in the room, and accompanied Li Muyang to choose a room, living next door to me, the room is very spacious, Li Muyang, this kid put the backpack, walked to the balcony, opened the door, and finally showed a smile of excitement and said: "Wow, senior, your place is too beautiful, right, It is such a spectacular view."
The master smiled slightly and said, "If you like it, this will be your room in the future, and you will remember to come down for dinner later."
Li Muyang didn't say yes again, and then the master patted me on the shoulder, I nodded, went back to the room and washed up, we were busy cooking all afternoon, because there was a new member at home, as the saying goes, takeaway is not as good as home cooking, we are also very serious about this dinner, the three of us work together, I went out to buy ingredients, the master is in charge, and Li Muyang is the master's assistant at home, why, because he is not familiar with the boundary of Chongqing, not to mention that friends from other provinces will get lost when they come to Chongqing, even our local households will, if Li Muyang is lost, it will be so troublesome, we have to find it, right!
I took my mobile phone and took a car to the new market, after arriving at the new market, I went straight to the meat selling area, bought a chicken and a few boxes of beef, went around and ran to the seafood area to buy a little aquatic products, I don't know if Li Muyang can eat the habit, I carried a big bag and a small bag to walk in the new market, although it is afternoon, but there are still a lot of people here, it is also very lively, I calculated a little, looked at the dishes in my hand, walked out of the new market with satisfaction, and after taking a taxi to the side of the road, I put things in the trunk and went straight to home.
Chongqing's traffic is extremely complicated, turn around here and there, maybe you look at home in front of you, but you still have to go around for a long time to get to the destination, on the way, I sat in the back seat, looking at the vehicles and pedestrians coming and going, the driver was bored and turned on the radio on the car, the sound was not big, I could barely hear the voice of the announcer inside, and said: "The light and shadow of the car, are so hurried, the whole city fell into a blank suspicion, is there a moment, we collectively stopped, everyone lowered their heads to look at the road under their feet." , This is the harbor of your soul, this is your home, welcome to listen to Chongqing Radio Metropolis Radio FM93.8, I am Nuonuo, and I will talk to you below....".
The announcer kept talking, and I didn't listen attentively, leaning on the car seat with my eyes closed and snoring slightly, until the announcer said the next paragraph, I opened my eyes, and only heard the announcer say: "Our city's celebrities and business tycoons were invited to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala at the Haoting Hotel, and the initiator was ..... local enterprise tycoon Zhou Jiguo."
I was listening to the radio while looking out the window, suddenly, the mobile phone in my pocket rang, I picked it up and looked, it was Zhong Ming, who had not been contacted for a long time, I answered the phone suspiciously, and said, "Hey, Uncle Zhong, what's wrong."
Zhong Ming smiled on the other end of the phone and said, "Xiao Xuan, I haven't been in touch for so long, do you still remember me?"
I was stunned, nodded and said, "How could I have forgotten what you said."
Zhong Ming smiled again, and I asked suspiciously: "Uncle Zhong, why did you suddenly call me today, do you need me to help you with something?"
Zhong Ming sighed and said, "Hey, it's not, why are you embarrassed to keep bothering you, right, I called today mainly to ask if you have been free recently."
"Are you free? What do you mean, Uncle Zhong". I said half-knowingly.
Zhong Ming smiled and said: "Isn't this the Mid-Autumn Festival coming, Mr. Zhou held a party at the Haoting Hotel and invited us to participate, I just wanted to see if you and Brother Tan were free, go and have fun together, and catch up with the old by the way, right?"
Hearing this, I understood, and said: "Oh, you're talking about the Mid-Autumn Festival, I just heard it on the radio, I have to go back and ask the master to know, after all, I can't go alone, leave the master at home."
"That's nature, that's nature, okay, you go back and ask Brother Tan, I'll pick you up when the time comes."
"No need, Uncle Zhong, we have a car, I'd better go back and ask the master first." I spoke.
Zhong Ming was stunned for a moment, smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for your call."
"Well, you get busy first."
"Good".
After Zhong Ming finished speaking, I hung up the phone, the driver listened to the conversation between me and Zhong Ming, and glanced at the rearview mirror in the car suspiciously, I found the driver's actions with sharp eyes, looked over, and smiled awkwardly, the driver shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, turned a corner, and drove forward for a few minutes, stopped at the door of my house, I got out of the car and took out the vegetables bought in the trunk, paid the fare with my mobile phone, and walked home with a large bag and a small bag.
As soon as I entered the door, I shouted, "Anyone is there, come and help."
After a few seconds, Li Muyang ran out in an apron, looked at me with a smile, looked at the things in my hand again, and said, "Buy so many vegetables, Lin Xuan."
I nodded and said, "It's not to take care of you kid, hurry up and help."
Li Muyang nodded, took some of the dishes from my hand, and then the master walked out of the kitchen with a towel, wiped his hands with a towel, and said, "Put it in the refrigerator first, and put the one that is going to be cooked tonight on the table."
I said hello to Li Muyang at the same time, and after putting some of the dishes in the refrigerator, I also took an apron from the side and came over to wear it, and the master looked at me and Li Muyang's nanny as if they were dressed up, and suddenly smiled and said: "Look, look, how much like a housewife, yes, it will be easy to find a daughter-in-law in the future."
I glanced at the master, Li Muyang smiled, and the master then said: "Okay, come and help, wash the vegetables, wash the dishes, do it."
I smiled and said yes, walked to the edge of the pool, washed all the vegetables I bought, washed the aquatic products, and put them into the plate that Li Muyang had washed, I took the time to take a look, it was almost five o'clock, the master handed the pot to us and brushed it, and then directly started the pot with oil, and the dishes prepared by the plates were completed within an hour, Li Muyang and I brought the dishes and chopsticks to the table, and took a bottle of Coke out of the refrigerator, and after the master was busy, the three of us sat on the dining table, and the master looked at the sumptuous dinner in front of him, said: "Today to celebrate the arrival of a new member of the family, this dinner is really a drain on my heart."
I smiled, Li Muyang also looked at us with a smile, I opened the Coke, poured a glass by one, and then the master took the lead in raising a glass and said: "Although table wine is common, but drinks are also indispensable things on the table, come, today for the new members of the family, let's raise a glass."
Li Muyang and I stood up, the cups were placed under the mouth of the master's cup, and they snapped together, and then we drank it all, the pleasure of this cola circulating in the throat was really comfortable, the master sat down again, moved the chopsticks and said: "Let's eat, talk while eating."
We nodded, moved the chopsticks, Li Muyang ate the most fragrant, while eating, and praised the master's cooking skills, much better than the outside, the master was a little embarrassed by Li Muyang's praise, laughed, and said: "Eat more if it's delicious."
Li Muyang nodded with the vegetables in his mouth, I took another sip of Coke, and after the master saw it, he said directly to me: "Boy, drink less Coke, eat more vegetables."
I nodded, took a bite of the dish and said, "Hey, by the way, master, Zhong Ming called me this afternoon."
"A call for you? Isn't that normal, what's the matter?" The master said as he looked at me while eating.
I put down my chopsticks, swallowed the food in my mouth, and said, "Zhong Ming asked me to go to a Mid-Autumn Festival party, and said to see if you are free to go and play together."
