After finishing her work, Mu Jin checked her watch and packed her things. She drove home and took her two daughters back from the nanny at home. Then she went to pick up Li Fen and then gave them to Zhang Xu and Li Lin.
I called and made an appointment again at the meeting place.
"Hey! Li Lin, Mu Jin said, I haven't seen you for so many years, why are you still the same!" Li Fen couldn't help but smile when he saw Li Lin and said: "You men grow up too slowly, and you haven't changed much.
"Only us girls have changed a lot."
"My hair is a little white!" Li Lin said with a smile.
"Are you married?" Li Fen asked Li Lin.
"We are preparing to renovate the house. The date is set for October this year." Li Lin asked with a smile: "What about you! You are much more beautiful now than before!".
Li Fen sighed and said: "I saw one getting married, and I saw two getting married. You people can't wait for me! It seems that the last one to get married is me!".
"If you know, just work harder." Zhang Xu looked at Li Fen and said jokingly: "I have lost a lot of the New Year's money you gave my child over the years!".
Li Fen smiled and nodded at Zhang Xu and said jokingly to Li Lin: "See! The richer the person, the less promising he is. He only thinks about the one or two hundred yuan all day long!".
Hahaha! After hearing this, Zhang Xu was so happy that he said: "Let's go! Let's go to the most expensive restaurant in the Pearl!".
"Are you still going?" Mu Jin looked at Zhang Xu and said, "Let's find another restaurant. The hot pot there is really not very authentic. Let's go! I'll take you to another restaurant!"
"What do you think? Don't think about saving money for me, it's not easy for you to kill me!" Zhang Xu said jokingly while looking at several classmates. Zhang Xu himself owns a restaurant, so why would he go to someone else's place as long as he is in Shicheng?
Go spend money to eat.
"I'll let you go today, but when you have the opportunity in the future, you must treat me, a working-class person, to the most expensive meal!" Li Fen looked at Zhang Xu and said.
Zhang Xu nodded and said: "Wait a minute, maybe in a few months you won't have to go to Mingzhu to eat this beef. It will be available in Shicheng soon!".
"I said you are also a restaurant owner, why don't you sell this kind of beef? Is it too expensive to sell?" Li Lin looked at Zhang Xu and said.
Zhang Xu shook his head: "You don't know that. The more expensive things are, the better they sell! It's because I don't want to sell it, but they won't let me represent this kind of beef at all!".
"Okay! Let's go quickly. What time is it?" Mu Jin quickly urged her classmates to follow her to the restaurant.
After listening to Mu Jin's words, several people followed Mu Jin in two groups, one or two steps apart, and walked towards the restaurant.
When we arrived at the restaurant, although the environment here was not as good as the one at noon, it was still quite quiet. Once the door to the private room was closed, you could hardly hear any noisy sounds outside. Everyone came and went and ordered their favorite food.
The dishes. After a while, the pot started burning and the dishes were served.
A few people were chatting and for some reason, things started to happen in the past and they started talking about the children, and then they talked about everyone's recent situation.
Zhang Xu opened his mouth and said: "This man's life only lasts for decades! I can't ask for anything else. I basically have everything I want now, so I just want to be able to live a comfortable life without bothering! And!
I'll ignore some messy people and things if I can. I don't care what outsiders say!" After saying this, Zhang Xu couldn't help but look at Mu Jin.
"Don't criticize someone like that." Mu Jin saw Zhang Xu and looked at him and said, "This won't happen anymore. I said today that we can get along wherever we can, so don't get together, and stay out of sight!"
”.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xu immediately gave Mu Jin a thumbs up: "This is the spirit of our female top student!".
"What's going on, what's going on!" When Li Fen heard this, she immediately became jealous and asked the people at the table repeatedly. Li Lin happened to be sitting next to her, so he explained to her in a low voice.
"You should have stopped paying attention to her a long time ago. Who is she? She is like the old society. Maybe you are still thinking about the horse you bought for your wife, and you can ride it and beat her!"
Li Fen looked at Mu Jin and said
He said: "It's also your fault. You've been giving her a good look since we got married, and you're used to kicking her in the face! If my mother-in-law in the future is so unscrupulous and glares at me for nothing, just kick her out!"
.
Li Lin couldn't help but smile after hearing Li Fen's words and said: "How many mother-in-laws dare to look at their daughter-in-law's face now? Most mother-in-laws want to look at their daughter-in-law's face!".
Having said this, Li Lin couldn't help but feel secretly in his heart, thinking that after he got married, his wife-to-be was like this now, and she didn't know what would happen in the future.
Neither Zhang Xu nor the other three noticed Li Lin's expression changed, and they continued to eat and chat.
"When looking for a wife, you need to find someone who is sensible. Of course, your wife must also be sensible. If one of the two is ignorant, your life will be difficult! Just bear with it!" Zhang Xu
Said: "Let me tell you, I just got married
When I got married, there was a family downstairs... The whole day was like Afghanistan, with a life-long battle, and there was not a day without fighting! We were still together like this, and we didn't know what the day was like.
What’s the point of still living!”.
"What if the whole family likes this kind of war atmosphere!" Li Fen picked up a chopstick of vegetables, put it in his mouth and chewed it while saying: "You think everyone is as lucky as you, just start a business and do it
That’s it, you can build this family business by yourself at the age of thirty!”.
"I am also in Fang Yi's favor," Zhang Xu said smoothly. After finishing speaking, he was stunned for two seconds. After he was stunned, he immediately changed the subject: "When setting up a restaurant, there are actually two issues, taste and price!
”.
Mu Jin looked at Zhang Xu's slightly unnatural face and said with a smile: "Let's talk, Fang Yi can mention it. If nothing else, I still think that he is still a high school classmate. Fang Yi's life is good, I think I
I'm living a good life, right? Although I can't compare in terms of money, at least I won't feel sorry for myself! Do you think that mentioning Fang Yi is just like me? We are not teenagers, we are all in our thirties.
Got it!".
Zhang Xu smiled and nodded and said: "That's right. Anyway, that's it after we talk about it. Fang Yi is doing well now, you are doing well too, it's good if everyone is doing well!".
"What you said is so convoluted!" Li Lin said to Zhang Xu with a smile.
"It's not that I'm afraid to mention it. I just feel a little embarrassed when I mention it!" Li Fen said. For Li Fen, she is not as 'simple' as the two grown men Zhang Xu and Li Lin. Sometimes a woman's thoughts are other than hers.
Very few others can guess it, even if they are both women.
In Li Fen's opinion, Mu Jin's husband is really incomparable with Fang Yi. Not even now or in the past. That's what Li Fen thinks. But I don't know what Mu Jin thinks about Li Fen, because now
Mu Jin's tone is tighter than before. She also has the demeanor of a strong woman.
Mu Jin reached out to wipe the vegetable stains from her little daughter's mouth and asked Zhang Xu: "Fang Yi is very famous now! I have been flipping through the newspapers these days, and they are full of articles reporting on him.
What kind of classicist giant, one of the twin stars of postclassicism, and what kind of standard-bearer of theism? This good guy has so many names, and they all sound so scary!"
"I don't know how proud Fang Yi is now!" Li Fen also nodded and said, Li Fen also read these newspapers.
Li Lin said with a smile: "I guess Fang Yi has to circle around on the road every day. Listen to people say, hey! That's Fang Yi! And then what happened...".
"You're wrong!" Zhang Xu corrected him immediately after listening to Li Lin's words: "Fang Yi has been hiding in his home during this period, and he didn't even dare to come out. Now reporters are all over the place, ready to trick him.
I'm going for an interview. You may not have imagined that this guy is as afraid of reporters as a mouse is afraid of a cat!"
"Isn't that the reporter who surrounded the house, like a Hollywood star?" Li Fen asked Zhang Xu.
Zhang Xu said: "Blocking the door of his house? That's unrealistic. This kid's house doesn't have any doors. It's just a small mountain pass. After passing the mountain pass, it's his home. And this is private property in the United States. If reporters want to break in,
It’s illegal! This small mountain pass is still some way away from his home, so he was hiding at home and the reporters couldn’t do anything to him..."
"He is so famous, how come he is like a thief?" Li Fen said with a smile. This sentence made Mu Jin and Li Lin both amused.
"By the way, I forgot what his wife did for a living?" Li Fen asked again: "Are you a housewife at home now?".
Zhang Xu explained: "My name is Zheng Yuan, whom Mu Jin has met. Now she is mainly at home. The two of them already have a second child!".
"Zheng Yuan doesn't play the piano anymore?" Mu Jin asked a little curiously. In Mu Jin's opinion, Zheng Yuan gave up music and became a housewife at home, which was a bit beyond his expectation.
"It's not that I don't play the piano anymore, it's mainly that I don't work in the orchestra anymore, and I practice at home. But sometimes I go to a concert or record a cello piece with the orchestra, so I have more time.
We are free. Anyway, we both stay at home now. Sometimes Fang Yi paints and Zheng Yuan practices piano together in his studio, or we take care of the children."
After hearing this, Li Lin felt a little envious when he thought about this scene: "Fang Yi and his wife are the couple of gods! Look at how they live their little lives, and then look at my nine-to-five job.
If you are a minute or two late, you will be scolded by your boss like a grandson!"
"Don't be envious. It's not so easy to spend the whole day together." Zhang Xu said with a smile: "Fang Yi and the two of us are living fine. My husband and I couldn't stand it after trying it for a month."
, conflicts will emerge unconsciously."
Mu Jin smiled and explained: "Fang Yi has a slow temper, doesn't like to bother with the trivial matters of life, and has a bit of a boring mentality about things that he doesn't care much about. Zheng Yuan understands and tolerates this kind of Fang.
Yi, the two of them really match each other well."
Zhang Xu thought for a while and nodded, agreeing with Mu Jin's statement. In this way, everyone started talking about their own families, starting with Fang Yi, and then talked about the classmates they are still in contact with. After finishing the meal, it was nine
It was past one o'clock. Mu Jin still had a small child with her, so any K songs that she had planned had to be cancelled.
Zhang Xu and Li Lin got up from the hotel and were preparing to go back to Shicheng today. At this time, Fang Yi was sitting in front of the TV, looking at the screen, waiting for the broadcast of his first feature film, which was shot by the BBC.
The second episode in a series of artist profiles.
