In the afternoon, the old residential complex.

Bai Huanting took out a popsicle from the refrigerator, tore the wrapping paper and stuffed it in her mouth, and swaggered back to the living room to continue watching TV.

The white mother who came out of the kitchen, wiped the water beads on her hands, and used to pick up the daughter who was lying on the sofa on her back to raise the uncle, and scolded with hatred, "Did you hear what I told you when I entered the door!"

"Oh Mom, how old am I to go out on a blind date, let people know it's a joke!" Bai Huanting heard this, and helplessly bit the popsicle stick in her mouth.

On weekends and holidays, she went home to take a look as usual, and not long after she entered the door to talk to her grandfather, she was pulled aside by Bai's mother and told that a colleague's family had a returnee who had recently returned to work in the bank and wanted to have time to arrange a meeting.

"What's the joke, you're twenty-five, if you put it in the countryside, your children can make soy sauce now!" Bai Mu glared, pinched her waist and said, "I know best, this woman, as soon as she passes twenty-five, she can swish quickly, and she will reach thirty in the blink of an eye! Don't you have to have time to get along before you get married, you have to hurry up now!"

"......" Bai Huanting only silently bit the popsicle stick.

Seeing that she didn't move, Bai Mu was silent for two seconds and asked tentatively, "Tingting, are you still thinking about Haidong?"

"No!" Bai Huanting immediately denied.

After all, after seven years of relationship, Gu Haidong is like a cancer to her, but fortunately, it is benign and discovered early, so it will not ruin her life.

"Well, it's right if you don't want to!" Bai Mu nodded, grinding her teeth, "He also came to the house to see your grandfather that day, and took a bunch of things, ginseng and deer antler velvet are quite valuable! But who am I, will I be blinded by Xiao En Xiaohui, he walked with his front foot, and I threw him down from the window with my back foot!"

"Well done!" Bai Huanting gave a thumbs up.

The white mother hugged her shoulders and raised her chin proudly.

"So, since you don't want him anymore, don't pay attention to it, how many older young women are there in society now!" Bai Mu turned the words back, "Wait for me to contact that side for a while, and you will meet!"

Bai's mother is also worried that her daughter will always stay in the last failed relationship, and she is really worried about her age, and she is afraid that she will be delayed by Gu Haidong, and it will be bad if she really becomes a leftover girl!

"Oh, let's talk about it, the magazine has been busy lately!" Bai Huanting found a reason to prevaricate, and her head ached.

"You're so busy that you can still sit here and nibble on popsicles!Don't perfunctory me!" Bai Mu poked her head unaccustomed to it, "The wings are hard, you don't listen to what I say now?" I am your mother, the mother who has taken care of you for so many years to eat and drink Lazar, can I harm you!"

"Mom, be quiet, grandpa is sleeping!" Bai Huanting hurriedly reminded.

When Bai Mu heard this, she glanced at her fiercely and bypassed her temporarily, "By the way, how is where you live?"

"It's good. Bai Huanting hummed back.

"Your father has been busy with work recently, and I can't take care of your grandfather at home, I'll go to your place in two days to have a look! Don't you want to eat small pickles, and I'll bring it to you when I go!" said the white mother casually with a shake of her trouser legs.

"No, no, no!" Bai Huanting's eyes widened.

Look at the joke, if you let Bai Mu know that she lives with a man, wouldn't it be upside down!

Realizing that he had reacted a lot, he hurriedly piled up a smiling face and said, "Wait for you to marinate, I'll come back to pick it up, how can I drive you to run it yourself!"

Bai Mu looked at her reaction and frowned in confusion, feeling that something was wrong.

Bai Huanting avoided Bai Mu's gaze, picked up the apple on the coffee table and gnawed on it, deliberately making a move, making Bai Mu look disgusted by the diverted attention, and then quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Mu looked at her watch, and said as she got up, "It's almost half past four, call your dad to come back from work to buy some food!"

"Half past four?" Bai Huanting suddenly whispered when she heard this.

Thinking of what Yu Qihan said when he left in the morning, she hurriedly took two bites of the apple and threw it in the trash, stood up with her bag and ran to the entrance to change shoes, "Mom, I still have something to do, go first!"

The white mother, who went into the back room to get her mobile phone, saw her daughter rushing out of the door before the phone was dialed out.

"Eh, you kid, don't you eat dinner at home?"

Bai Huanting rushed out of the community and stopped a taxi, and hurried back.

After urging the taxi driver to speed up, at five o'clock, she finally rushed back to the apartment.

When she entered the door, she threw off her sneakers and strode into the kitchen, took out all the ingredients in the refrigerator, then washed her hands and put on her apron, and began to get busy.

In the morning, I have a good idea of what to do, so I do it in an orderly manner.

The remaining pork ribs from yesterday were washed and put in a pot to fry, put sugar and vinegar, add soup, bring the heat to a boil and turn to low heat, cover the pot and simmer slowly. Then shave the chicken thighs and cut them into cubes, and set aside them with the same diced shiitake mushrooms.

The kitchen was full of the hum of the range hood, and Bai Huanting's busy figure was shuttling inside.

Sweet and sour pork ribs, diced chicken with shiitake mushrooms, stir-fried spinach and garlic lettuce, plus a tomato and egg soup, after the smoke is turned off, the same four dishes and one soup as yesterday, squatting on the table with beautiful colors, and two bowls of white rice.

After Bai Huanting put the chopsticks on the table, she deliberately looked at her watch, and there were still ten minutes and six o'clock.

"Whew!"

She let out a long sigh of relief.

Taking off the apron from her body and putting it aside, Bai Huanting pulled out a chair and sat at the dining table waiting, her fingers tapping on the table.

Noticing the passage of time, thinking that there might be a traffic jam on the road, but when she looked down at her watch, it was almost seven o'clock, she frowned and muttered, "Didn't you say that you could get home before six o'clock, and let me prepare the meal!"

Just when she was worried that the food would be cold, the mobile phone in the hallway rang.

Bai Huanting hurriedly got up, ran over quickly, and after taking out the mobile phone from her bag, it was indeed his number.

"Hey?" she picked up and put it to her ear.

The male voice over there spread across the line, "I have something to deal with temporarily, don't wait for me!"

"Then when are you coming back?" Bai Huanting couldn't help frowning and asked.

"You eat first. Yu Qihan paused and said this.

"Oh. Bai Huanting replied in a low voice.

When she wanted to ask something more, she had already hung up the line in a hurry, she looked at the phone that had returned to the home screen, and then looked at the food on the table, and bit her lip in frustration.

When she returned to the dining table, she sat back on the chair, Bai Huanting hugged her shoulders with her hands, and muttered angrily, "Sister Ni, if you don't come back, you won't squeak early, so I'm busy for a while!

When she picked up the chopsticks, she planned to enjoy them herself, but in the face of such a sumptuous meal, she suddenly lost her appetite.

In the dark of night, the army-green Prado finally drove back slowly.

The car stopped in front of a certain building, the driver's door opened, and Yu Qihan's tall figure jumped down from it, flicked the car key twice, and locked it.

With his right hand in his trouser pocket, he habitually took out the cigarette case inside and wanted to smoke a cigarette, but when his fingers were bent, there was a pain, he couldn't help frowning, and by the light of the street lamp, the joints of ten fingers were broken, and they were so swollen that they couldn't hold their fists at this time.

After getting off work and driving back from the hospital, he had immediately entered the community, and the call from Sang Shan, who was drunk in the bar, seemed to be in trouble, he was worried that she would be in danger, so he had to turn the front of the car and rush over, this is how the injury came, and then it still alarmed his friend Chi Beihe.

Originally, he was supposed to go to the nearest clinic to deal with it, but he didn't stop on the brakes when he passed by, and he just wanted to come back.

For some reason, this rented house always gave him an inexplicable sense of belonging.

The lighter "popped" out the blue flames, he lit the cigarette in his mouth, and when he walked into the building, he deliberately looked up at the floor where he lived, and it was as dark as the upper and lower floors.

Coming out of the elevator, he turned the key to open the door, and deliberately moved a little lighter.

After stepping in with two legs, Yu Qihan closed the door with his hand, changed into slippers and did not plan to turn on the light, for fear of disturbing the rest of the people in the room, so he prepared to go in by the light of his mobile phone.

"Pop ......"

Suddenly, there was a very light switch sound.

With that, the house lit up.

Yu Qihan's narrow eyes were raised slightly, and he saw the shadow standing at the door of the restaurant, with a confused expression on his palm-sized face, one hand hanging there, and one hand raised to rub his worried eyes.

Behind her, there was a table of food that had cooled, and the smell could be smelled in the air.

Bai Huanting yawned, looking like she had just woken up, "Are you back?"

She didn't know that she was like a little wife waiting for her husband to return.
