Chapter 169 Let Steward Zhang prepare it personally
Meng Hai actually didn't want to come, he always felt that it was a little shameless to take the initiative to come over for the so-called dinner, after all, Meng Xing didn't invite him personally, but after thinking about it seriously, he decided to come, so as not to be nagged by Ji Chunmei again.
What my wife said is really right, now Meng Hai doesn't need to work, he will face Ji Chunmei most of the time at home every day, and he has always been disgusted with her nagging when he was young, but he didn't see her this day, and he was a little unaccustomed to it!
"Father-in-law, you're here! Let's take a rest first, Meng Xing hasn't come back yet, and Brother Meng Jun hasn't arrived yet! Li Moran took the first step to greet him.
Meng Hai nodded, glanced at Ji Chunmei, and looked displeased, what kind of family dinner is you doing!
"Lao Meng, now that we are retired, we have to learn to enjoy the joy of family, and it's good to get together with the children if we have nothing to do! Don't keep a straight face! Ji Chunmei walked up to him and whispered.
"It's just you!" Meng Hai still looked indifferent, it seems that he is still early!
"Steward Zhang!" Ji Chunmei shouted loudly into the kitchen: "Make a pot of tea, our old man likes Pu'er the most!" ”
Li Moran's heart skipped half a beat all of a sudden, her mother-in-law is really good at finding someone! Who is bad! It's Butler Zhang!
"Mom, I'd better go!" Li indifferently said and walked to the kitchen, he couldn't let Steward Zhang show up!
"What did she call you?" Meng Hai's voice asked.
"Hey, it's a foregone conclusion, forget it!" Ji Chunmei whispered.
Li Moran didn't know what it was like to hear their conversation, her mother-in-law's attitude towards herself had just changed a little, if she knew that she had her former rival at home, I don't know what it would be like?
"The tea has been brewed, you can send it over." Steward Zhang said and handed the tray to Li Moran's hands.
Li Moran looked at Steward Zhang and didn't seem to have a good face, it is estimated that he was frightened a lot like himself, hey, it's really tormenting!
As soon as she walked out, Li Moran heard her mother-in-law calling Steward Zhang again, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes, what's wrong with her mother-in-law today? Why do you keep looking for her!
"Mom! Tea is coming! Li Moran hurriedly passed, Ji Chunmei frowned dissatisfiedly, "Indifferent, this housekeeper Zhang is really unpleasant, there are distinguished guests at home, you should always show up to entertain you, and even let you, the young lady with a big belly, personally serve tea and pour water!" ”
"Oh, she's also busy, and besides, this is also my filial piety! It doesn't matter if she can't get out! Li explained indifferently.
"Hmph, I don't know why, I just don't like her, I should punish her well!" Ji Chunmei looked at the kitchen unhappily and said.
"Father-in-law drinks tea!" Li sighed indifferently and secretly sighed, Meng Xing, if you don't come back, I will be scared to death!
"No! I'm going to go in and see what she's up to! Ji Chunmei was about to get up as she spoke, but Li Moran hurriedly pulled her to sit down and said, "Mom, it's rare for us to have a family dinner today, so don't be upset!" ”
"What are you fighting with a butler!" Meng Hai also felt that Ji Chunmei was very strange today.
"She's just a housekeeper, to put it bluntly, she serves our family, you see that she is like a master now, of course I feel uncomfortable!" Ji Chunmei is not a person who can stand grievances.
As he was talking, Lao Qi brought Meng Jun in, "The eldest young master has arrived!" ”
Meng Jun is here! Li Moran also breathed a sigh of relief, it can be regarded as a savior, this time the mother-in-law will not still worry about Steward Zhang!
"Meng Jun, come here!" Ji Chunmei really saw Meng Jun smile again, forgetting the unpleasantness just now.
"Hmm." Meng Jun saw that Li Moran was still a little unnatural, and his gaze just skimmed over her face, and he walked over directly.
"Indifferent, call Meng Xing and ask him to come back early, the work is not done in a day!" Ji Chunmei commanded.
"Oh! I'm going to fight! Li Moran said and picked up the mobile phone and left, hearing that the father-in-law behind him was counting down his mother-in-law again, and she was not allowed to interfere with Meng Xing's work in the future, and her mother-in-law was also very unconvinced, the family rarely had a dinner, and they were not together every day, what happened once in a while?
Hiding in a place where they couldn't be heard, Li Moran got through the phone, but fortunately, this time Meng Xing answered without a few rings: "I'm already on the way." ”
"Husband, my father-in-law has arrived, and my mother-in-law doesn't allow Steward Zhang to leave, so she is still hiding in the kitchen, but I don't think I can hide it!" Li said listlessly.
"It's okay, just meet and meet, there will be no problem." Meng Xing thinks so, everyone is a smart person and will not put himself in an embarrassing situation.
"I hope so." Li Moran hung up the phone as he spoke, walked back and said, "Meng Xing is already on the way, and he will be home soon." ”
"Well, okay, it's rare for our family to eat together, and I'm happy today!" Ji Chunmei said and shouted to the kitchen again: "Steward Zhang, you can prepare the dining table!" ”
It's Steward Zhang again! Li Moran's whole face collapsed, and he involuntarily walked to the kitchen, just let Aunt Song prepare, Steward Zhang, you still hide in the kitchen!
"Indifferent, why are you going?" Ji Chunmei also followed her to the kitchen and asked strangely.
"I'm going to see how the preparation is, after all, it's the first time I've eaten here at our place, and I'm afraid they won't prepare well." Li Moran explained with a dry smile.
"Let Steward Zhang prepare it himself!" After Ji Chunmei finished speaking, she whispered: "Can't let her think that you are a bully, you know?" It's okay to get her to do something! ”
"That, actually, ......" Li Moran was about to stop again, but her mother-in-law had already entered the kitchen one step ahead of her, yes, it seems that the time to meet has come!
Since Ji Chunmei spoke, Steward Zhang had to prepare the dining table himself, the tablecloths, dishes and chopsticks, soup spoons, and cups were all neatly arranged, and Ji Chunmei watched from the side like a supervisor.
Fortunately, Meng Hai didn't pay attention to the matter here, but was talking about something with Meng Jun, Li Moran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he has passed another level!
"Move fast! What's going on with the bowl over there? How is there a black dot inside? Ji Chunmei began to pick and choose.
"Oh." Steward Zhang wanted to go over to take a look, but accidentally tripped under her feet, her body leaned forward, and grabbed it casually, although the person did not fall, but knocked a cup down, making a crisp sound, and shattered!
Now Ji Chunmei finally got the opportunity to teach her a lesson, so she was merciless, Li Indifference looked at Steward Zhang unprepared, her face was pale, and she stood there with her head bowed and said nothing.
Looking at her carefully, it turned out that her eyes were closed, it seemed that she was also tolerating, Li Moran couldn't help but look at her father-in-law's side, sure enough, the eyes of her father-in-law and Meng Jun were looking at this side, she wanted to block her father-in-law's sight with her body, but it was obviously too late, because she saw something strange in her father-in-law's eyes!
Finished! That's a meeting! Looks like her father-in-law has already recognized her! The mother-in-law is now like a tigress, and it is estimated that the father-in-law will be on the side of Steward Zhang, and men usually prefer to maintain weak women.
Li Moran was thinking nonsense, and Meng Hai really walked over, "What's the big deal, so shouting?" What does it look like! ”
"Hurry up and clean up this place, what a clumsiness! When Meng Xing comes back, I will ask you how you got to this house! Ji Chunmei glared at Steward Zhang angrily.
"I'm sorry! I'll clean it now! Steward Zhang never looked up, just as Xia Xia had already come over with a broom, she was also frightened, and looked at Li Moran in horror, which means Sister Ran Ran, your mother-in-law is even more fierce than Steward Zhang!
Steward Zhang took the broom from Xia Xia's hand and began to clean, Li Moran coughed lightly and pulled her mother-in-law back to the sofa and sat down, smoothed her back and said: "It's all a trivial matter, there is a saying in our hometown that the land blossoms and is rich and glorious!" Don't be angry! ”
Meng Jun also seemed to see that something was wrong, and looked at Li Moran with an inquiring gaze, Li Moran was not good at explaining to him now, so he could only give him a helpless look back.
Meng Hai stood there and watched Steward Zhang for a while, but he didn't say anything more, and when he returned to the sofa, Li Moran found that he seemed to be stuck in deep memories.
Although she didn't know what kind of past it was, what she could be sure of now was that her father-in-law definitely remembered Steward Zhang, and it seemed that it was not just that simple to remember!
Meng Xing, come back quickly! I can't bear it alone! Li Moran wailed in her heart, and when she looked up and saw Meng Xing coming in, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief!
"Meng Xing is back!" When Ji Chunmei saw her son, she seemed to be a lot more cheerful, and what happened just now could be regarded as turning the page.
"The table is ready, ready to eat." Steward Zhang came over and whispered that not only did she not have the arrogance she used to have in the past, but she was still a little unenergetic, and even her strength to speak seemed so weak.
"Meng Xing, you are really ...... housekeeper" Ji Chunmei was about to start complaining.
Li Moran took the words, "Husband, mother-in-law, no! Mom bought a lot of stuff for our baby today! And my mother also said that I would build a baby room on their side, so that our family can also go back to live often, you see how thoughtful my mother is! ”
"Oh, I'm also for the granddaughter of our Meng family, as a grandmother should be!" Ji Chunmei said with a smile.
"Thank you," Meng Xing felt the embarrassment in the atmosphere, glanced at Steward Zhang, and said quietly: "Everyone is hungry, let's eat now." ”
"Yes, yes!" Li Indifference inadvertently just met Meng Hai's gaze, and she immediately looked away from her eyes with a weak heart, oh my God! It's horrible!
Ji Chunmei didn't know if it was intentional or what, she always asked Steward Zhang to stand aside and serve them, she needed this for a while, she needed that for a while, in short, she didn't let Steward Zhang be idle.
Li Moran didn't dare to say anything, Meng Xing kept his composure, Meng Jun seemed to have been observing their expressions, and Meng Hai was no different from usual, with the same expressionless face.
Hey, Li Moran began to recall every scene of eating with Meng Xing's parents in his mind, it seemed to be so long and exhausting, so tired!
