On the dinner table.

Mary looked at the table of dishes and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Sister-in-law, I haven't eaten your cooking for more than ten years, but I really miss me."

"It's sweet in your mouth." Chen Hong said with a smile.

But it's still nice to be complimented.

She turned her head to look at the quiet Xia Youzhi, "You have to thank Youzhi, if she hadn't come today, you wouldn't have had this blessing." ”

Mary smiled heartily, "That's really a blessing for the little beauty." ”

She and Chen Hong haven't seen each other for more than ten years.

Since she left the country, the mine has also moved to the town of Mashan.

Every year she returns to China to visit relatives, she has never met her.

So...... I haven't eaten this dish for more than ten years.

Xia Youzhi smiled.

She didn't expect Mary to have such a bold personality.

It doesn't match her charming appearance.

"Come, Mary." Chen Hong smiled and sandwiched a piece of braised fish and put it in Mary's bowl, "Look at my sister-in-law's craftsmanship has regressed?" ”

Turning her head, she gave another piece to Xia Youzhi, "You can also taste it, it may not be as good as your family's lo-mei, but it should be tasted, hehe." ”

"Lo-mei?"

Mary glanced at Xia Youyi curiously.

Xia Youzhi smiled and nodded.

Although Mary is in her thirties, she gives a sense of innocence.

"My family sells lo-mei." The way of summer young.

"This lo-mei, I have eaten it a few times in Yangcheng in the south this month, it is really good, I didn't expect that we also have it in the north."

Mary sighed.

Is the circulation of goods so developed now?

"That's the ancestral secret recipe of the young family, it's definitely better than the south, but we don't have it in Haizhou City." Chen Hong said.

"Haizhou City hasn't yet? That...... Little beauty, how did you make it in your family? Mary wondered.

Hearing this, Xia Youzhi paused in his heart.

"Well, it was passed down from my grandfather, and I don't know what happened.

It's just that I improved it later, but I haven't been to the south, so I don't know if the taste is the same. ”

Xia Youzhi's face was not red, and his heart was not beating and he looked at Mary.

Even if someone wants to check, they can't find anything.

Because, her grandfather is gone.

"It must be delicious, in Mashan Town, who doesn't know." Chen Hong smiled and helped.

"It's so delicious, isn't it?" Mary smiled, "That little beauty, your family can come to Haizhou City to open one, it will definitely be popular." ”

Seeing Chen Hong praise so vigorously, she couldn't help but be more curious.

Don't......

Is it really that delicious?

Xia Youzhi shook his head, "My family is a small business, and the rent of the store in Haizhou City is expensive, so there is no way to do it at present." ”

Although she is very confident in her own lo-mei, she can also make more popular varieties.

But in the case of insufficient funds, it is very dangerous to spread such a big stall all at once.

Therefore, she only plans to take the market in Anming County first.

As for Haizhou City, we will consider it later.

Mary saw that Xia Youzhi was doing things safely, and couldn't help but be a little impressed by her.

"It's not a problem, if it's really that good, there must be a lot of people rushing to invest money." Mary put down her chopsticks and smiled.

This time, she returned to China and saw the rapid development of the country.

After the opening of the economy, it is really very different from before.

"It just so happened that one of my classmates was also going back to China for development, and he wanted to bring things from the south to our north, but he was worried that he couldn't find a project.

If the little beauty is interested, everyone can sit down and talk, and there is no need to worry about the funds. Mary continued.

"That's nice."

Chen Hong heard Mary's words and happily put down her chopsticks.

But then she frowned again, "However, Youzhi is now in her third year of high school, and her studies are heavier, so I'm afraid she will be distracted." ”

Hearing this, Mary was a little surprised.

"The little beauty's business is her own?"

"That's nature." Chen Hong smiled in his eyes and said, "Youzhi is the backbone. ”

Xia's lo-mei has cooperation with the mine.

She couldn't be clearer about the situation inside.

"Are all kids so good now?"

Mary's eyes were filled with incredulity.

She looked at Xia Youzhi carefully again.

Seeing this, Xia Youzhi replied with a faint smile.

The character is calm and the eyes are firm.

This temperament is not something that ordinary families can cultivate.

But Mary realized that Xia Youzhi's dress was very ordinary.

The fabric can be said to be relatively inferior.

It's just that she is neatly dressed and has a clean temperament, so it's easy to ignore.

"It's Aunt Chen who praised it." Xia Youzhi said politely.

Chen Hong glanced at Li Wei, who was eating silently on the side.

Where is this a false praise.

I used to think my son was good, but now it seems that ......

Alas.

"If you're thinking about doing lo-mei business in Haizhou, you can talk to my friend." Mary laughed again.

Inexplicably, she just has a good impression of Xia Youzhi.

She is not very old, but she always feels that she has a maturity beyond her years.

So, she's happy to refer.

"Young, although Mary is unreliable in people's eyes, she is actually okay with things." Chen Hong teased with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, look at what you said."

Mary sneered and glared at Chen Hong with a fake meaning.

Xia Youzhi smiled, "Okay, thank you Mary, I'll think about it." ”

Everyone has talked about this, and it won't be good for her to refuse.

And...... The person who can make Chen Hong approve will definitely not be bad.

It's just that this matter does have to be considered in the long run.

"Okay, he's going to come back from the south, see you when the time comes." Mary laughed.

Xia Youzhi nodded.

"Mary, when are you going to go to the United States when you come back this time?"

After Chen Hong saw that the two had finished talking, he asked about others.

"I'm not going."

Mary ate another chopsticks fish.

"Not going?" Chen Hong was surprised.

Mary nodded.

She smiled, "The country is so good, there is a lot of room for development, I have been adrift enough over the years, it's time to come back." ”

Chen Hong was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"It's time to go home."

The old director's family is such a girl.

During the New Year's holidays, the old couple looked very pitiful.

"And what are your plans?" Chen Hong continued to ask.

She's not someone who likes to ask about other people's affairs.

Just wanted to see if I could help.

Mary naturally knew that Chen Hong was a person.

She laughed, "I'm going to come back and work on the costumes." That's what I learned abroad. ”

Xia Youzhi, who had been listening silently beside him, raised his head suddenly.

Clothing?

Seeing Xia Youzhi's cold movements, Chen Hong was startled.

"What's wrong? Young. ”

Chen Hong's words brought Xia Youzhi back to reality.

She shook her head a little awkwardly, "It's fine, it's just that I heard Mary mention the costume and I was quite interested." ”

"Youzhi, are you interested in fashion design?"

Mary became interested all of a sudden, and she didn't even call her "little beauty" anymore.

Fashion design is still immature in China.

A lot of people don't have a good idea of clothing design yet.

Xia Youzhi nodded.

"Mary, where do you want to go in the future?"

Xia Youzhi asked as if unintentionally.

"Maybe Hong Kong City, maybe Yangcheng, it's not sure yet." Mary said without concealment.

She will definitely not stay in Haizhou City.

It's not mature here.

Hearing this, Xia Youzhi lowered his eyes and covered the excitement in his eyes.

Port City?

No wonder, she had just felt Mary familiar.

She actually ......

It is the famous designer of the port city in the later generations.

Xia You's heart was very excited, and he couldn't help but glance at Mary again.

Mary noticed.

"Youzhi, you've been peeking at me several times." She said playfully.

Xia Youzhi was a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Mary. I just think the clothes on your body are well designed. ”

Xia Youzhi hurriedly made an excuse.

She loves the clothing industry, and she has been working in the clothing industry in her last life.

Always wanted to be a good fashion designer, but ......

She did not go to college, she did not receive an orthodox education.

Although she has some talent, she lacks a guide.

So, there has been no progress in design.

Thinking about it, Xia Youzhi glanced at Mary again.

The one in front of her is her idol in her last life!

It's just that when she was deeply involved in the clothing industry in her previous life, Mary had retreated into the background.

And she is low-key and rarely appears.

Later, by chance, Xia Youzhi participated in a personal clothing exhibition of Mary.

I was lucky enough to see her once.

Xia Youzhi looked at the woman full of personality in front of him, and his heart was hot.

"Mary, do you have any stage names?" Xia Youzhi said tentatively again.

"Stage name?" Mary was stunned.

"Hmm." Xia Youzhi nodded, "Don't designers have their own stage names?" ”

Mary smiled, and she shook her head.

"I'm not interested in that." She smiled, and then frowned again, "But I really have to change back to a name with Chinese characteristics, in case I succeed in the future, then others will still think I'm a foreigner, hehe." ”

Hearing this, Xia Youzhi couldn't hold back his excitement.

She asked, "And what kind of name do you come up with?" ”

"What else do you need to come up with, you might as well change it back to your previous name." Chen Hong on the side said with a smile.

"Previous name?" Xia Youzhi was slightly stunned.

"Yes, she wasn't called Mary before, she was called Zhang Wanshu." Chen Hong smiled, "It's her own life and death that wants to change to Mary, hehe." ”

Mary raised her eyebrows indifferently about the previous troubles.

But no one noticed that Xia Youzhi's hand clenching the chopsticks was shaking.

She was so excited.

Unexpectedly......

It's really Master Zhang Wanshu.

"Young, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Hong caught a glimpse of the excited Xia Youzhi.

What's so strange about this kid today?

My hands were shaking.

It can't be uncomfortable, right?

Xia Youzhi took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and said with a smile, "It's okay, Aunt Chen." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Mary, who was happily eating.

"I just heard that Mary is a costume designer, so I wanted to learn from her."

Except for the day of her rebirth, it was the first time she was so excited.

"Learn from me?"

Mary stopped picking up vegetables in her hand and looked at Xia Youzhi with a smile.

Xia Youzhi looked back calmly, "Yes, I want to study fashion design in college, so I ......"

"I may not be able to teach you at my level." Mary didn't care, "It's probably only half a bucket of water." ”

Looking at Mary's fingers, Xia Youzhi couldn't help but laugh.

"Then learn the half bucket of water first."

In her previous life, she had specifically learned about Master Zhang Wanshu's situation.

She knew that in fact, before Zhang Wanshu returned to China, she was already well-known in the United States.

In that era of racial discrimination, the Chinese were able to make a certain reputation.

Without the blessing of talent, that simply can't be done.
